Chapter 560: To Each His Own Heart
This audition to verify how Shimazu Chiyo is one-on-one martial arts ended in a bloody killing, the three fathers and sons (daughters) of the Shimazu family and the remaining samurai looked calm, as if it was not their own people who died, and the rest of the ship was deeply shocked: it turned out that the Japanese launched a ruthless attack, and they could not take their own lives seriously, and hacking each other's own people to death was like playing.

Summer Minami was speechless, originally thought that Shimazu Chiyo was a rare madman, but he didn't expect that the Shimazu family was full of madmen.
Yang Yuji is the only one among all who observes Shimazu Chiyo's "sword drawing technique" from a technical point of view, he has good eyesight, and he observes very carefully, and after pondering for a while, he approached Xia Nan and whispered: "General, the reason why this female widow can come first and have such great strength is that she skillfully uses the scabbard. The knife is different from the sword, especially the knife and scabbard of the Japanese people have a certain arc, she uses this arc when she draws the knife to create an instantaneous explosive force, its strength and speed are greater than the direct swing of the knife out of thin air, this truth is not complicated, the difficulty is that she has done this move to the extreme, so it can be fatal in one move. ”
Xia Nan doesn't seem to understand this explanation, but he often uses ejection start when he plays with cars in old time and space, that is, he steps on the accelerator and brake at the same time, pulls the rpm up and then releases the brake, so that the starting speed of the car is about twice as fast as that of ordinary mode, and it seems to be the same reason. This Shimadzu Chiyo should use the obstacle of the arc of the scabbard to create a charging effect similar to that of a car pulling up the rev, to achieve a better effect than a direct swing.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, if Shimazu Chiyo didn't set up a frontal attack, but pretended to be a stranger to approach him, and then came like this, he would definitely hang up, and he wouldn't be able to dodge. It seems that I still have to thank the female madman for her "grace of not killing"!
Lin Weiye also came to join in the fun, explaining his understanding from the perspective of a science and engineering man: "The key to this so-called 'knife drawing technique' is not to cut people with a blade, but to concentrate all the power on the tip of the knife. When cutting, the trajectory of the tip of the knife is a straight line, and when the knife is drawn, the trajectory of the tip of the knife is an arc, plus there is a long enough distance from the handle to the tip of the knife, which is similar to the principle of leverage, and the force and speed of the entire handle and the blade to the tip of the knife are amplified, so the destructive power is amazing. ”
Summer Minami waved his hand and motioned for them to stop talking, anyway, no matter how you look at it, it proves that Shimazu Chiyo has two brushes enough. He asked Shimazu Tadahiro: "The path you arranged for your daughter, will she go?" ”
Without waiting for his father to answer, Chiyo Shimazu interjected, "As long as you can save the people of Tsurumaru Castle, the Satsuma Domain and the Shimazu family, Chiyo is willing to do anything, please don't worry." Although the expression on her face was still unruly, Xia Nan could hear the softness in her words. It is no wonder that in the face of the devastating blow of artillery, the martial bravery of any individual is insignificant, and the will of the Shimazu family to resist was completely destroyed by the previous shelling.
Xia Nan weighed it and found that he really couldn't find a reason to veto this proposal. The Shimazu family is willing to bow their heads and give in, the purpose of this trip to Kagoshima has basically been achieved, and as for disposing of Shimazu Chiyo, it is just an incidental goal. As the old guy said, even if he killed Shimazu Chiyo, it would only be to vent his anger, and there would be no real benefit to himself or the Qiongzhou camp. It would be a good idea to keep her by her side, along with a group of samurai who had been carefully trained by her men, to keep her safe. At that time, the samurai led by Shimazu Chiyo and the guards led by Yang Yuki were outside, with both cold weapons and hot weapons, close combat and long-range attacks, such a comprehensive and three-dimensional protection circle, it was difficult for anyone to break through, and personal security issues could be relieved.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Shimazu Tadashi: "I like your proposal very much, so it's settled." Chiyo Shimazu stayed and followed me back to Ming Kingdom. By the way, you said that those samurai should go with them, and they will be led by Shimazu Chiyo in the future. ”
Shimazu Tadashi nodded respectfully in agreement, but he was very happy in his heart, in this way, the bad thing became a good thing, and the enemy became a friend, not only saved his daughter's life, but also sent her to the distant Ming Kingdom, putting an end to the tragedy of siblings fighting for the position of family governor. He quietly glanced at Chiyo and Mitsuhisa, and thought, I wonder if the two of them can understand their father's painstaking efforts?
Shimazu Mitsuhisa was even happier than his father, and sent his sister away, and the position of family governor was as stable as Mount Tai. And with the relationship with this Ming general, and with the bond of my sister, it should not be difficult to spend some silver, say some good things, and get some powerful cylinders in the future.
Shimazu Chiyo somewhat understands her father's intentions, she knows that her father has actually made a choice in his heart, even if he stays, the position of family governor will not be his own, this Ming Guo general who was accidentally killed just gave her father and younger brother a reason to send him away. Although she can understand all this, she is still a little disheartened in her heart, so much so that she is about to leave Kagoshima, the land where she was born and raised, and she doesn't have much nostalgia.
At this time, Natsu Minami mentioned the samurai she had trained herself, and Shimazu Chiyo suddenly remembered that the shogunate had stipulated that the Japanese could not leave the mainland, otherwise they would not be allowed to return, and asked with some concern: "If I and my samurai leave Japan, will we not be able to return to Kagoshima?" ”
Shimazu Mitsuhisin said: It's best not to come back, it's still a trouble to come back. He was very jealous of this sister who regarded herself as a man, and even if he lost the qualification to compete with him for the governor, his personal martial arts were still difficult to meet in the Satsuma Domain, and as long as he stayed in the country, it was a huge hidden danger.
Xia Nan smiled: "Don't worry. Before visiting Kagoshima, I had been to Edo Bay and made an agreement with Tokugawa Iemitsu that I could recruit samurai from within Japan and bring them back to the Ming Kingdom, and I would not be constrained by the Japanese leaving the border, and I would go as I wanted and come back as I wanted. ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Shimazu father and son looking at Xia Nan added a bit of worship and reverence. After the Battle of Sekigahara, the shogunate was a powerful presence for the daimyo in various places! It used measures such as fiefdom change (Note 1) and Confession (Note 2) to rub the more estranged daimyo to death, and even directly used military forces to suppress them, but none of the daimyo dared to resist and obediently accepted the fate of being slaughtered. And this Ming general, easily made the shogun bow his arrogant head and sign a treaty that looked a little humiliating, it is really a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Note 1: Originally referred to the dismissal of an official from his old position and his change to a new one, in the Edo period, it evolved into a punitive measure of deprivation of the status of daimyo and samurai, confiscation of domains and residences, and was second only to execution.
Note 2: It was a system in the Edo period of Japan, in which the daimyo of each feudal domain were required to regularly travel to Edo to perform government affairs for the shogun for a period of time, and then return to their own territory to carry out government affairs. In view of the poor traffic conditions in ancient times, it was the shogunate that actually left the daimyo too tired to take care of the internal management of the feudal kingdom.
