    This night, Ezo also had a sleepless night.

    Ezo Matsumae Castle, also known as Fukuyama Castle, Matsumae Kunhiro, the sixth generation lord of Matsumae Domain, looked at the castle town from the castle tower and saw the little lights gathering into a river of light, rushing towards Matsumae Castle.  This river of light still comes from the sea, and the stars on the sea reflect the outlines of huge ships.

    Turning his eyes back to Matsumae Castle, Matsumae Kunihiro seemed to have regained his hearing at this time. The roar of guns, shouts of death, and howls hit his eardrums like angry waves.

    "House! The second city has fallen, and the enemy is about to attack Honmaru. It's still too late to leave now!"

    His subordinates rushed into the castle tower covered in blood and reported to him in panic.

    Matsumae Kunihiro's expression was confused, and he glanced at the shivering wives, concubines, and children gathered together. He slowly shook his head and said, "I'm not going anywhere. We started from the Uyizaki family and worked hard to build this place for more than two hundred years."  home.¡±

    More than two hundred years ago, the Uyizaki family began to operate Ezo and started a bloody battle with the local Ainu people.  During the Warring States Period, the stepson of the Uyizaki family, Matsumae Kehiro, obtained the title of daimyo, and Ezo came under the rule of the shogunate.  For Matsumae Kunhiro, whether it was the Matsumae Domain directly under the shogunate or the "Ezo Territory" governed by the Matsumae Domain, they were not only their homeland, but also an integral part of Japan.

    So he never imagined that the Nian Jia Yan Kingdom across the sea would actually send troops to attack him!  Originally, he had very close trade relations with the Nian family, and even contracted many fishing grounds to the Han people of the Yan State. At the same time, he also obtained various commercial goods from the British Empire through the Yan State.  He even donated several daughters to the Nian family one after another, hoping to maintain this relationship.

    The army of Yan State came across the sea.  Dozens of large ships brought thousands of soldiers, as well as countless large tubes and dozens of terrifying Kokubang. This posture was to completely annex Ezo.  The Nian family is so brave.  Aren't you afraid that the shogunate will be angry and send troops to conquer?

    What made him even more angry and frustrated at the same time.  Many of his subordinates also turned against him, and their desire to occupy the city and fight at least to create some resistance for the enemy was ruthlessly shattered.  A few loyal subordinates were still fighting, but like a small fishing boat in the storm, they were torn to pieces by the raging waves of guns and guns in an instant.

    When the shouts of killing came to the castle tower, Matsumae Kunihiro was extremely sad and his heart was dead. He heard the constant sound of footsteps. A moment later.  A large number of soldiers wearing new military uniforms imitating British soldiers rushed to the top of the castle tower and surrounded him and his family.  The attendant beside him brandished a long sword and rushed over in despair, but was chopped down by countless samurai swords.

    "Kunihiro Matsumae, surrender!"

    These soldiers shouted in authentic Japanese, and Matsumae Kunihiro heard clearly that this was a Changzhou accent.  The Changshu Domain not only relied on the British Navy's Beiyang Fleet, but also exported a large number of mercenaries to fight for the Nian family.

    "Songqiandian, if you had accepted my suggestion earlier, you wouldn't have gone to this stage."

    A man separated from the soldiers and appeared.  It was Nian Bin, the "Emperor" of Nian Yan.  The current Yan State is a bunch of rootless people, and he, the emperor, has to do it himself.

    "Suggestion? Ask me to dedicate my country? Abandon my own subjects!?"

    Nian Bin was what Matsumae Kunihiro was waiting for. He wanted to see this treacherous bandit again to see how dark this guy's heart was.

    Nian Bin retorted righteously: "My own country? Songqianden, Ezo it has been our land of China since ancient times! During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Ezo paid tribute to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the Andong Protectorate  It is just a piece of official document to govern Ezo, levy taxes and transfer people. During the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Nuergandusi. In short, thousands of years ago, this place was our Chinese vassal. When did it become the land of your Matsumae family? You have stolen so much  For a long time, now that I have taken over Dayan, I don¡¯t care about the past, how dare I say this?¡±

    Matsumae Kunhiro sighed: "Yes, yes, just like Ryukyu, since ancient times even Japan has been a vassal of the Chinese dynasty."

    Then he sneered: "But when will your Yan country be able to represent China in the dynasty?"

    Nian Bin paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "We, Dayan, are Han people-oriented, develop Chinese ethics, and uphold Hua Yi's righteousness, so of course we are Hua Xia!"

    Song Qian Bangguang said bitterly: "The British Empire is China! Now that you are arrogant for a while, it won't be long before the army of the Heavenly Dynasty will chase you and wipe out your rebellious Yan Kingdom!"

    In Matsumae Kunhiro's view, Nian Bin's trip today was not tolerated not only by the shogunate, but also by the British Empire. Nian Bin was seeking his own death.

    Nian Bin patted his chest and said with a smile, "I'm so scared"

    He sighed with pity: "Songqianden, have you never thought about why we have so many large ships all at once?"

    Matsukian Banghiro was stunned for a moment. After a moment, confusion gradually flashed in his eyes, and then he heard Nian Bin say again: "Yes, these big ships, just nowHe nodded and said: "Why not? She has always played such a big chess game with me. At this time, she has been eliminated. I have to continue to play and let her see what I will do next. This favor can still be taken care of.  of."

    He raised his eyebrows again and said with a smile: "Besides, I am the Queen Mother. She has been in charge of the country for many years and is an expert in handling imperial power. It should be extremely easy to find fault with your ideas."

    Ru Xi didn¡¯t know what to say, so she could only sneer to show contempt, but there was endless rage in her heart.  Yes, he really gave her a chance back then to let her and Ruan go "for the sake of making his maid shed tears of sympathy".  If I had really agreed at that time, would I still be put in a water tank now, under the pity of his victor?

    "It's a pity that at that time she fully believed that she was qualified to play chess with him and was unwilling to give up.  Looking back now, in fact, it was always his pawn.  Look, now that he's suddenly here, I can't keep up with his thinking at all. How much wisdom does this man have in his head
