"Five thousand iron cannons?!" More than a dozen people in the room couldn't help but exclaim in unison, "With so many iron cannons, you will definitely be able to avenge the blood and the sea of blood!" ”

You must know that even if Tokugawa Iemitsu's lineage is elite, it is equipped with thirty percent of the fire guns at most. In other words, even according to this ratio, five thousand firearms are enough for an army of sixteen or seven thousand!

And there is also grain and grass.

If the rebels had such sophisticated weapons and supplies more than ten years ago, they would never have been slaughtered by the shogunate army!

Immediately, a young and vigorous person stood up and said, "I, the Oyano, would like to follow Amakusa-sama!" ”

"I, Arakika, obey Amakusa-sama!"

But the old man still shook his head and said, "Father, unlike more than ten years ago, the Tokugawa family's power is stable, and even if there are a large number of iron cannons, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist more than 100,000 shogunate troops. According to the meaning of old decay, we should gather strength in secret and wait for the next year to ......."

Lou Ming interrupted him and said, "Lord Amakusa has received an oracle that if we want to raise troops immediately, then the heavens will send a vision to help." ”

Everyone looked at each other and wondered, "A vision from heaven? ”

Lou Ming pretended to be profound: "Oracle, the world will be in chaos soon, and it is the time for us and other Catholics to exorcise demons." ”

"Really?!"

"Lord Amakusa is unpredictable, and there will be no mistake."

Seeing that these people were still hesitating, Lou Ming continued: "Soon the Maori family will raise an army to rebel against Tokugawa, and there will be a great chaos on the Edo side, and then the world will be full of daimyos, and the shogunate will have no time to take care of Hizen." ”

He looked at the old man again, "Ten years ago, if it wasn't for the rebellion with the Lan people at a critical juncture, using warships to fire at the original city, where would the shogunate army be able to break through the city so quickly?" ”

"It's, indeed."

"If there are warships around Kyushu to cover our rebel army, can the shogunate army still be as arrogant as it was ten years ago?"

"Definitely not!" The old man's eyes lit up, "Lord Amakusa summoned the battleship?!" ”

"This, hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed."

Finally, no one had any more doubts, and they swore together to serve Amakusa-sama, obey the oracle, and eradicate the evil spirits.

Lou Ming counted that these people's subordinates and clansmen alone added up to more than a thousand men, and they were all influential figures in the island, and their influence was ten times greater.

After everyone agreed on the details of the move, the sky was gradually brightening, and they went down the mountain to disperse.

A middle-aged man who walked at the back grabbed the old man and said in a low voice, "Lord Sawada, do you really believe that this Ming Dynasty man is the godfather of Lord Amakusa?" ”

The old man smiled slyly, "Even if it is the reincarnation of Lord Amakusa, I have many doubts. However, what is true and false? ”

He glanced at the middle-aged man, "My son, grandson, and granddaughter all died at the hands of the shogunate, and Zuoshan-kun's parents were also ......

"As long as there are 5,000 cannons and plenty of food, plus the Maori rebellion, why don't we take the opportunity to take revenge?

"Alright, I'm going to contact the parishioners. Zuoshan-kun also speed up his movements. When we saw those iron cannons and food, we immediately went to attack Omura Castle, Omura Junyori only had more than 700 soldiers in his hands, and he was definitely not our opponent! ”

……

Japan, western part of Honshu Island.

Nagato country, Hagi Castle.

Maori Xiuyuan was sitting precariously and motioned to the tea bowl on the wooden table, "Dai Jun, please use it." ”

Dai Xiuyuan listened to the interpreter's interpretation, picked up the teacup and said, "I don't know how the adults think about that matter?" ”

Mori Hidemoto laughed, "I just haven't heard Dai Jun's jokes, my Changfu clan is loyal to the shogunate, and I don't think anything else." ”

"Oh? Is it? Dai Xiuyuan smiled and said, "The Maori family resolutely supported Tokugawa in the Battle of Sekigahara, which led to the great victory of the Eastern Army and the Edo shogunate to rule the world.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not think about the great merit of Maori, but instead cut off the 830,000 stone fiefdoms of the Maori family, such as Yasui and Izumo, so that the wealthy family of the first class of the Warring States period became a small feudal clan with only 300,000 koku left.

"After being so humiliated, didn't the Maori family think about revenge?"

The Battle of Sekigahara was a pivotal battle between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori in their struggle for Japanese supremacy. At that time, the Mori family was one of the main forces of the Toyotomi family, but at the time of the decisive battle, they reached a secret agreement with Tokugawa Ieyasu and retreated to the city and refused to send troops, which finally led to the defeat of Toyotomi's western army.

But after Tokugawa Ieyasu was in power, he was very jealous of the huge power of the Maori family, so he found some excuse to cut most of his fiefdom.

Since then, the Maori family has been submissive on the surface, but secretly resentful. Eventually, they waited until the Meiji Restoration, and finally teamed up with the Satsuma clan to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate.

Of course, in Japan today, everyone thinks that Mori has died down and decided to become a submissive minister.

Maori Xiuyuan sniffed the fragrance of tea, shook his head and said, "Please don't say anything more about such a big disrespect." If it weren't for your knowledge, I would have taken you to Edo for questioning. ”

Dai Xiuyuan had received an edict from the Great Tomorrow to fully launch the Japanese strategy, so the corner of his mouth provoked a sneer, and he said loudly: "I don't know what the 'time has come' means?" ”

When Mao Li Xiuyuan heard the interpreter say these five words, he immediately shook his whole body, shouted back from the subordinates and guards in the house, stared at Dai Xiuyuan and said, "Where did you hear this?" ”

It turned out that since the Maori family was reduced, the whole family hated the Tokugawa clan to the core, and every year on New Year's Day, the head of the Maori family would gather the core of the family and ask himself, "Is the time come?" ”

It means whether the time is ripe to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate.

Then the head of the house will say with hatred: "Not yet." ”

This tradition was maintained by the vengeful Mori clan until the Meiji Restoration.

At this time, Dai Xiuyuan said the most confidential thing about the Maori family, why wasn't Maori Xiuyuan shocked and afraid?

Dai Xiuyuan naturally listened to what the great emperor said. He motioned for Xiuyuan to relax, "I know so much more than that. After the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu made Reizun the vanguard and went to Kyushu to conquer the Shimazu family. Fortunately, Ling Zun refused. ”

Maori Xiuyuan frowned and said, "So what? ”

"How? At that time, Tokugawa Ieyasu planned to take the main force of the Mori family out of Osaka Castle and kill them all on the way. Fortunately, Lord Terumoto didn't want to be an enemy of Shimazu and didn't agree, otherwise he would ......"

"Is there such a thing?!" Maori Xiuyuan was shocked, and he couldn't care about how this Ming Dynasty "businessman" knew so many extremely secret things for a while.

This kind of black material, Zhu Linmiao, naturally has as much as there is.

Dai Xiuyuan said with a smile: "When the adults capture Tokugawa Iemitsu, you will find out when you ask." ”

Mori Hidemoto looked at him coldly, thinking in his heart whether to get rid of this Ming businessman who knew too many things, so as not to leak the news.

Dai Xiuyuan saw his expression, but leaned forward and said in a low voice: "The whole of Japan is far more dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family than Maori. To tell you the truth, I've already visited the Shimazu family and the Uesugi family, and they're already gearing up.

"As soon as the Maori family moves, they will immediately follow suit."
