    Japan in the seventeenth century has never been a unified country Of course, Japan is still a unified country in name.  The de facto highest authority in Japan, the shogunate controls the most powerful army in Japan and occupies the most fertile land.  Then the remaining vast land was occupied by various daimyo.  These daimyo are further divided into clan daimyo, genealogical daimyo and foreign daimyo.

    Okinashi-han means the daimyo who are blood related to the Tokugawa family. Because of the blood ties, these daimyo will naturally support the Tokugawa shogunate; gushidai daimyo refers to the daimyo who followed Tokugawa Ieyasu before the Sekigahara War. These daimyo  As a retainer of the Tokugawa family, he is also very loyal; the outside daimyo is different, either he surrendered in the Battle of Sekigahara, or he is the same daimyo as Tokugawa Ieyasu.

    At the beginning, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not have the ability to swallow up these famous names, so he could only hold his nose and admit their existence, and continue to exist.  These big names are undoubtedly the most vigilant objects for the Tokugawa shogunate.  Therefore, Tokugawa Ieyasu used various methods to let the daimyos of the kin-clan, gendai and gaibei live together in a chaotic manner, and let the daimyos of the kin-han and gendai monitor those daimyos who had different ideas from the shogunate.

    Speaking of which, the situation in Japan is quite feudal in the true sense.  It was just a feudal enfeoffment based on the samurai system.  The emperor was completely ignored, and the largest warlord in the world was the shogunate. Outside the shogunate were all kinds of daimyo.

    Of course, the biggest reason for this situation is that although the shogunate is the most powerful, it is not strong enough to go to war with all the daimyo in Japan. Otherwise, from the perspective of human greed, the Tokugawa shogunate will definitely be very powerful if there is an opportunity.  I am happy to copy a unified Xiao Ming Dynasty.  Since it cannot be eliminated, it can only be monitored.  Therefore, the biggest responsibility of the shoguns in the past is to monitor and suppress the daimyo in various placesespecially the foreign daimyo.

    Not only did it stipulate that the daimyo must live in Edo every year, but they also sent their wives as hostages, and if they made mistakes, they would reduce the daimyo's income In short, all available methods were used.  Sadly, the shogunate's suppression continued into the Meiji period, and in the end, the coalition composed of daimy¨­s ended the overthrow.

    It cannot be seen from this that these various daimyo have never identified with the Tokugawa Shogunate from the beginning to the end.  And now Tokugawa Iemitsu's 5,000 Australian-style firearms army has been trained, adhering to the tradition of little Japan, playing three-stage shooting.  A dozen Napoleonic cannons bombarded, and then thousands of soldiers lined up in three lines to fire alternately.  Even though the m1644 didn't emit much smoke, the continuous firing of thousands of rifles still caused thick smoke to rise from the front of the infantry array.  To everyone watching, Tokugawa Iemitsu was extremely satisfied, with a smile on his face and he was very ambitious. Perhaps his achievements would eventually surpass those of his ancestor, Tokugawa Ieyasu.  Unifying Japan in the true sense will definitely go down in history.  Contrary to Tokugawa Iemitsu's happiness, the daimyo present, whether they were close lords, descendants or outsiders, all looked ashen and felt extremely bad.

    Everyone realizes a problemthe balance is broken.  The shogunate controlled such a powerful army that it was enough to defeat all the daimyo.

    "Tokugawa Iemitsu is an idiot!" Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Han Xu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "The most stupid thing he did was to expose the new shogunate army early, which made all the daimyo wary. He originally thought  It would shock those daimyo, but they didn¡¯t expect that that afternoon, envoys sent by countless daimyo would sneak into our trading point in Edo and plunder Australian arms regardless of price.¡±

    "This has nothing to do with stupidity." Chang Shide felt sad for the smug Tokugawa Iemitsu: "That old boy just miscalculated the relationship between Australia and the shogunate, and paid too much attention to the Treaty of Edo."

    The strategy for facing Japan was finally summarized by Shao Bei after everyone discussed it.  According to its plan, Japan will eventually return to the era of war results and constant wars.  The daimyo were fighting to the death, frantically consuming Australian arms, and at the same time using all resources to purchase Australian arms.  Then Australia will shamelessly favor one side when the situation is clear, thus making the situation unclear again.

    War will bring a large number of arms orders.  I believe that the Japanese who have tasted the benefits of firearms will definitely throw away their time-consuming and laborious samurai swords, and then pawn their last crotch cloth to buy an Australian rifle and kill their enemies from a few hundred meters away.  War will also bring a large number of people.  Although the ideas of the people in the island countries are somewhat extreme, the other advantages of the Japanese cannot be denied.  For example, being smart enough, obeying the strong, and working hard without complaint.  Discounting the deep-rooted ethnic hatred among people across the country, the Japanese are definitely one of the last sources of immigrants.  According to Congress's assumptions, Japan will become the second largest source of immigrants to Australia in the next few decades At least the Japanese are better than the indigenous monkeys in Southeast Asia?

    ??Swing hard, and then watch in embarrassment that the white golf ball turned into the stones of childhood, and was hit continuously over the creekAfter a while, Chang Shide cursed secretly, and then asked: "Is there a suitable target?"

    "Personally, I am optimistic about the Satsuma clan and the Choshu clan. These two clans have always been unruly and unruly. Well, the hatred between each other is quite high. Then the intelligence department gave another suggestion, the Uesugi family."

    While they were talking, a civil servant in black uniform quietly ran over and handed each of them an invitation.  Chang Shide opened his eyes for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly: "There are four cinemas in total, and only two of them are professional. How can it be considered a global release? The films made by Director Qiu Da are not necessarily good. This bragging ability  See it¡¯s rising.¡±

    "You are too mean." Han Xu said with a smile: "Theoretically speaking, director Qiu Da's film has been released in all places with cinemas in the world. What is this called a global release if not a global release?"

    Chang Shide laughed again and again.

    The two walked side by side for a while, completely forgetting that they were playing golf.

    "Leaving tomorrow?"

    "That's almost it. If everything goes well, we'll set off tomorrow morning."

    Chang Shide nodded, and then said earnestly: "Go early and come back early. This year's general meeting is very meaningful."

    ¡°I¡¯ll definitely not miss it.¡± Han Xu agreed with a smile.  The hands on his back were holding an elegant invitation.  Above it is a promotional poster for a movie. The name of the movie is written in the middle of the picture: "Nanjing!"  Nanjing!  ¡·

    McClain is very excited now.  He stood on the pier, ignoring the ups and downs of the ship's hull, standing on his feet, holding a telescope high and looking at the distant harbor - Da Nang.

    Around the flagship he was riding on, nine armed merchant ships lined up in sequence.  After the armed merchant ships, there are Chinese-style hard sailing ships of large and small sizes.  The big Zheng flags hung impressively on the heads and tails of those sailing ships.  Of course, this Zheng is not the other Zheng, not Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Cai.  Those hundreds of ships of various colors were Zheng Cai's entire family fortune.

    "Everything is under control, sir." Captain Big Nose reported in fluent Mandarin: "The small fishing boats of the Annamites are no match for us. Even with just one volley, we will turn this city into a  ruins."

    McClain was satisfied, but that was not the main reason for his happiness.  Battle is secondary, victory is inevitable There are ten armed merchant ships, all equipped with 120mm caliber Napoleon.  Not to mention the Annan people who have always pursued gang warfare, even if they faced the navies of powerful European countries at the same time, this fleet would easily defeat them.  So this is destined to be a formality, just like when Shao Bei knocked on the door of Japan, declaring force and intimidating Xiao Xiao, and then based on the principle of listening to whoever has the big fist these days, the Annan people will agree amidst the cries of father and mother.  McClain's request - open the country and lease it out.

    It¡¯s a bit boring and not challenging at all.  So that's not what makes McClain happy, although drug dealers are happy to see their assets grow rapidly.  What really makes him happy is that he can finally carry out his drug trafficking business unscrupulously.

    There were more than one ton of opium neatly stacked in the cabin of the flagship, and the suitcase beside the bed contained heroin that he had purified by himself.  In the warehouse in distant Manila, more drugs are piled up.  Waiting for the first two to successfully open the market, and then dump them all over.

    "I am indeed a born drug dealer, with drug trafficking genes in my bones." McClan thought happily.

    But Zheng Cai, who was standing a step behind him, was not in such a good mood.  The former leader of the second largest force in the Zheng Family Group, his face was filled with misery.  His eyes were a little scattered, as if they were not focused at all. His eyes drifted far away, past the small fishing boats that were trying to escape Da Nang in panic, or were trying to catch up with them, drifting away, and further away, until they reached the clouds.  Then I sighed secretly and asked myself, how could things become like this?

    "Internal strife, running away, seeking refuge with the Australians, being discovered, and then fighting Zheng Cai originally thought that the Australians would be happy to accept her offer of refuge.  To this end, he even prepared negotiation details to obtain more assistance from the Australians.  As a result, not only did I get nothing, but I was also tricked by the damn Australians.  That foreign minister met with him on his own, and then sold the news that he was going to defect to Zheng Hongkui.  As a result, a larger-scale conflict broke out. Fortunately, the person in charge left behind by Zheng Cai saw the opportunity early and escaped quickly before Zheng Zhilong took action.  Even so, Zheng Cai lost more than 20 boats during the chase.

    At that time, Zheng Cai was waiting for news in an inn in Nanjing.  When the hateful foreign minister told Zheng Cai the news confidently, Zheng Cai was completely stunned.

    He knew at that moment that everything was over.  The old nest is lost. If you want to survive, you can only choose to seek refuge in Australia.???Unconditional surrender.  From now on, An Xin will be an Australian dog, biting whoever he is told to bite. He can only drool when he sees the meat, and watch the Australian eat almost everything, and then throw the bones over.

    Now he can only sigh, fate is unpredictable

    There was panic in the direction of Da Nang.  Some of the boats left the port and fled in all directions; the rest, after getting over the initial panic, managed to form a chaotic formation.  One of the clippers was approaching in the wind and waves. It seemed that the Annamites were trying to eliminate each other's 'misunderstanding' through negotiations; there were also two Western sailing ships, one hoisted the flag of the East India Company, and the other hoisted the flag of the East India Company.  The Portuguese flag clearly separated from the battle group, intending to watch from the sidelines.

    ¡°Boss, our allies sent a signal to ask about our intentions.¡± Captain Big Nose put down his telescope and said.

    McClan bared his teeth: "It seems that our allies are a little nervous tell them that this is an unofficial expedition based entirely on commercial considerations."

    The awkward words stunned the big-nosed captain, who spoke fluent Mandarin. It took him a long time to understand the true meaning of such a long sentence: "I will do it immediately."

    McClan glanced at the captain dissatisfiedly, and McClan became bored.  So he threw the binoculars to the second officer next to him and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go have lunch."

    "Sir, the other party intends to negotiate." Someone pointed at the speeding boat and said.

    "Then let's negotiate. If the other party agrees to our best terms. If not, then fight until the Annamites agree. Don't bother me before we board Da Nang." McClan said without looking back.

    The senior employees on the flagship looked at each other in stunned silence.  After a long time, the big-nosed captain finally remembered his duty.  He first contacted the Radziwill via radio and reported the news of the delegation of command, and then naturally let the highest-ranking Mizuno Yoshikawa take over the command.

    Sometimes I have to admit that this guy Mizuno Yoshikawa is very familiar with this routine.  First, the bad guys filed a complaint accusing the Annamites of intending to attack Australian armed merchant ships, and then they made a bold offer of compensation.  Indemnity, leasing, and consular jurisdiction are all indispensable.  Then after Annan's petty bureaucrat threw his case and left, the naval battle started.

    The sound of cannons continued, and the Annan fleet, which thought it was in a safe area, suffered a devastating blow.  The range of Napoleon's cannons stunned the Annamites, and it was only after two rounds of shells that the Annamite naval general thought of counterattack.  The admiral was very courageous, but he obviously overestimated the courage of the fleet.  The command flags were flying in the waves raised by the shells, but the fleets that should have responded to the call to launch a desperate attack were fleeing.

    Just as McClane expected, the outcome was already doomed.  At this moment, the drug dealer McClain was sitting in the captain's cabin, listening to "The Marriage of Figaro" from the gramophone, eating the roasted pigeon in front of him with relish, and staring closely at the  holding the laptop on the side of the table.  The black-and-white pseudo-documentary movie "Nanjing!" is playing on the computer.  Nanjing!  ¡·

    "The name is tacky and deliberately imitated. The actors are too artificial and lack passion. The incident originally happened in Yangzhou, so we had to give it a ridiculous name "Nanjing! Nanjing". No wonder Qiu Hanyan is making documentaries. This level is comparable to modern times.  It¡¯s also suitable for filming AV¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Nanjing.

    A relatively spacious space was set aside in the university grounds and a temporary stage was set up.  Another huge curtain was erected on the stage, and there were more than twenty rows of chairs arranged neatly at the foot of the stage.  There is also an aisle deliberately left in the middle.  If you observe carefully, you will also find that the land where the chairs are located has obviously increased in steps.  The further away from the stage, the higher the terrain.  This was the result of a busy day's work earlier when Jinwu Guard mobilized more than 200 sergeants.

    Behind those chairs, there is a projector.  There was also a gramophone next to the projector instead of a piano.  Several Australians with short hair next to them were busy, hissing and stamping their feet and hands.  In Nanjing in December, there is no knife-like cold wind like in the North, and it will not freeze people into specimens.  It's just the cold atmosphere that makes these immigrants who are accustomed to the Australian climate extremely uncomfortable.  It feels like it will be cold to the bones if you stay there for a long time.

    Next to the stage, there is a smoking steam engine.  It hums and hums, driving the generator to run.  The poor thermal energy conversion rate only converted less than 6% of the mechanical energy into electric current, which then drove the incandescent lamps on several poles around, making the area bright.  Therefore, the dignitaries who came one after another could clearly see the banner above the curtain: "Nanjing!"  Nanjing!  ¡·Premiere of Ming Dynasty.

    There are early crossings?, wrapped in heavy down jackets with exposed duck down, they sat together and complained constantly.

    "Does a documentary need to be so grand? Why should we have a premiere? It's pretentious!"

    "You can't say that. No matter what, this film is also the first film in this time and space. The commemoration is of great significance."

    "Supposedly, premieres have to be held in Australia, right? Nanjing doesn't even have a movie theater let alone a movie theater, it's just not possible to find a bigger house. Holding a premiere here is too formalistic  ."

    "It's not that there's no room in Nanjing Wenhua Hall, Ancestral Temple, there are so many places. The problem is that Director Qiu can't borrow them. Hey, didn't you realize that Director Qiu has been looking grim for the past two days and not looking good to Shao Bei?"

    "Keep your voice down, as long as you know this. If that shady guy from Shao Bei hears it, you will be in trouble."

    "Shh! Shao Bei is here, stop talking."

    While they were talking, dignitaries were arriving one after another.  Then, under polite questioning from the ticket inspector, he handed over a piece of paper in surprise, and then he was guided to sit down by an employee holding a flashlight.  By the way, there is not a single little person present here today.  All the powerful figures of the Ming Dynasty were present.  What is extremely tacit is that those with lower authority and lower authority usually arrive earlier, while those with higher authority and higher authority come later.  Shi Kefa, the second-ranking figure in the cabinet, had just sat down when his figure flashed, and then the lights saw Shao Bei and Ma Shiying, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, walking over side by side.

    "According to Director Shao, this movie is just like Kun Opera?" Lao Ma said with some dissatisfaction: "Since we are watching a movie, what's the point of going one day earlier and one day later?"

    Shao Bei bared his teeth: "Your Excellency, Chief Assistant, I promise you. You will see a completely different drama"
