"How's Yamada Nobunaga's side?"

The changes in the Wa Kingdom are reasonable and unexpected for Xiao Ming.

In modern times, the Meiji Restoration occurred immediately after the Japanese were knocked on the door by Western naval guns, but now the difference is that he knocked on the door of the Japanese kingdom with his ships and guns.

Moreover, since ancient times, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the Wa Kingdom always learned from the Central Plains Dynasty, and now it is not surprising that they have been beaten all over the ground and put forward this idea.

"Yamada Nobunaga is now exhausted, several armies have been defeated by the rebels, including a team of 8,000 men armed with flintlock pistols, according to the lower officials, Yamada Nobunaga seems to be unable to hold out for long, his defeat made the daimyo, samurai, merchants, and common people all turn their backs on him, this is the current situation of the Wa Kingdom." Wang Xuanzheng said.

"It's a real nuisance."

Xiao Ming was a little worried, for him, this kind of change in the Wa Kingdom was something he didn't want to see, and he knew what he had done after the reform of the contemporary Wa State.

Wang Xuan sighed: "This matter is indeed very tricky, if Yamada Nobunaga is defeated, I am afraid that all the documents we signed with the Wa State will be invalid, which will damage our interests in the Wa State, but Yamada Nobunaga is already a Adou who can't be supported, and continuing to support him is equivalent to sending equipment to the rebels." “

"How much do you know about the rebels?" Xiao Ming continued to ask.

Wang Xuan took out a document and put it on the table at this time, and said: "This is the information that the secret guards are currently collecting, these rebels are very mixed, there are thirty-seven large and small, and there are three of them with the most influence, they are Yoshida Gaoyang, Takashi Takasugi, and Saigo Matsuki. ”

Xiao Ming flipped through the documents, which were the information of all the rebels, and these three people focused on it, "These three people seem to be the nobles of the Wa Kingdom." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is said that they have been in and out of the mansions of other daimyo many times, trying to win the support of other daimyo for this rebellion."

Putting the document down, Xiao Ming pinched his brows, these three people are just small people to him, he has never heard of them, but history is sometimes stirred by some small people.

These rebels are not terrible to him, what is terrible is the ideology they propagandize, even if he asks Ye Qingyun to help Yamada Nobunaga defeat the rebels, but it will not be long before a successor will make a comeback, and this will involve him in the endless Japanese civil war.

This is just like the Western powers once helped the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, but the Qing Dynasty was still replaced with an effect.

But at least the initiative is still in his hands, and he has the final say on what and how much he can learn, so he said: "It doesn't matter whether Yamada Nobunaga can rule the Japanese or not, I just need to ensure the interests of the empire in the Japanese country, you send people to contact the rebels in advance, if they accept the terms of the "Surrender Document", we will not intervene in the civil war between them, if they don't accept, we will help Yamada Nobunaga train the army to destroy them!" ”

Wang Xuan nodded, Xiao Ming's thoughts coincided with him, the first thing they had to ensure now was the interests of the Wa Kingdom, as for who ruled, it didn't matter, and now Yamada Nobunaga was in obvious decline, they had to prepare early.

At the same time, Yamada Nobunaga is almost sixty years old, and I am afraid that he has not much time to live, and I am afraid that his power will soon fall apart after his death.

"In addition to preparing in advance, you also have to investigate deeply, I always feel that this matter is a little strange, no matter how bad Yamada Nobunaga is, he should not be defeated by the rebels like this, I am worried that this is Yamada Nobunaga's game, no matter who we support, in the end it will be the Japanese country." Xiao Ming groaned.

Wang Xuan's eyes rolled, and he said; "The emperor means that the rebellion is a bitter ploy sung by Yamada Nobunaga and Wakoku, in order to reap benefits from us."

"There is a possibility of this, so let them continue to fight for a while for the time being." Xiao Ming said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the lower officials will start an in-depth investigation when they go back." Wang Xuan answered and turned to leave.

Seeing Wang Xuan leave, Xiao Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and thought about it.

This Nanyang strategy has just begun, and the Wa Kingdom has now given him such a trick, but he is not too worried, because no matter how the Wa State changes the dynasty, he has the ability to destroy its ruler.

His presence in the Wa Kingdom was not only to protect his merchants, but also to order them to take action if the development of the Wa Kingdom showed signs of getting out of control.

……

In Nagasaki, Yamada Nobunaga was practicing chopping in the courtyard, when a samurai came to the courtyard and saluted, and he said, "Daimyo, Yoshida-kun has arrived." ”

Hearing this, Yamada Nobunaga stopped his movements, and he said, "Let him come in." ”

The samurai left, and after a while, a man in black who was hidden in a cloak came to the courtyard, and when he saw Yamada Nobunaga, the man in black saluted and said, "Yamada Daimyo." “

Yamada Nobunaga nodded, he said: "This time let you venture here for the next battle, we must not fail in this matter we have been planning for so long, the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom is an extremely shrewd person, he is likely to suspect that we are playing a bitter plan, my eyeliner has news that Wang Xuan, the secret guard commander of the Great Yu Kingdom, returned to the Great Yu Kingdom three days ago, he is likely to report the information here to the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, and the secret guards below will inevitably increase their investigation of us, in order not to expose the matter, we must take dangerous measures, I am ready to die for my country, and when you return this time, you will follow the plan and complete our plan. ”

The man in black lifted the cloth covering his face, revealing a young face, this person was none other than Yoshida Gaoyang, one of the three heroes of the rebels, he suddenly knelt down in front of Yamada Nobunaga and said, "Yamada Daimyo, is there really no second way to go?" “

Yamada Nobunaga nodded, "When I signed the "Surrender Instrument", I understood that the Great Chongqing Kingdom wanted to make our Japanese Kingdom a slave for all eternity, so in order to confuse the Great Chongqing Kingdom, I signed it, for today's plan, Yoshida, you are the person I value the most, don't have the kindness of a woman, if this move is successful, we will not only be able to unify the divided Japanese Kingdom, but also be able to obtain industrial capacity from the Great Chongqing State, even if we can't confront the Great Chongqing State, but at least we can have our own colonies in the world like the British, Instead of forever existing as a colony of the Great Yu State. ”

Yoshida nodded fiercely when he heard this, and he said, "Daimyo, we won't let you down. ”

Yamada Nobunaga nodded, he was able to get to his current position by forbearance, choosing to destroy the enemy at the most appropriate time, and now he is still instructed by his philosophy of survival.

After saying some more words to Yoshida, Yoshida left under the protection of the samurai, and a trace of fierceness flashed in Yamada Nobunaga's eyes.

Is the old sin a horse, yours hers, Fei wow oh surround the barbarians, your eldest brother hooked, the end of the hook ear,
