Everyone listened quietly to Hattori Chizuru's narration. As she narrated, everyone gradually understood the battle situation at that time. Perhaps because Hattori Chizuru's description was very careful, everyone almost felt as if they were involved. Same.
The five-stage shooting of the iron cannon, the cavalry hitting a large number of short-handled iron cannons, soldiers who are not afraid of death.
Foreigners like Zhao Hongyu are indeed extraordinary.
As Hattori Chizuru finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Apart from the chirping of crickets from time to time, the only sound was the wind passing through the forest.
After a while, Chizuru Hattori continued: "These foreigners are very powerful. If we can get their help, I think we can get rid of this situation. Besides, there is no reconciliation between these foreigners and the shogunate. Therefore, if you want to revive the Tokugawa family, Miss, it is a good choice to seek refuge with these foreigners."
Finally, Chizuru Hattori said what she wanted to say most.
Tokugawa Kayo was stunned for a moment, then his almond-shaped eyes widened and he looked at Chizuru Hattori, who was leaning forward and kowtowing.
"Sister Qianhe, why do you say that."
Tokugawa Kayo was very puzzled. In her opinion, it was a bit unrealistic to rely on these foreigners to rely on them.
¡°Besides, why should people accept them?
Even if there is no possibility of reconciliation between those foreigners and the shogunate, when the shogunate¡¯s army arrives in the future, will those foreigners still be able to continue to win?
Tokugawa Kayo did not think that those foreigners could still win when facing the shogunate army.
"Ishida Aido who defeated Osaka Castle and the five thousand troops under his command must have some unexpected factors.
Although the military force of these foreigners is very powerful, the soldiers are also fierce and tight.
However, after all, those foreigners have come from afar, and they are at a disadvantage whether it is supplies or anything else.
Therefore, they cannot be the opponents of the shogunate.
Even though Tokugawa Kayo is still young, she also understands what the war is about.
What¡¯s more, these foreigners are still at war with the shogunate here in Japan.
Therefore, she is not optimistic about the future of foreigners.
Precisely because of this, she was very puzzled as to why Hattori Chizuru would persuade her to seek refuge with those foreigners who were already in danger, and get some support from them to revive the Tokugawa family.
Hattori Chizuru straightened up and looked firmly at Tokugawa Kayo.
"Miss, please believe Qianhe's judgment. Those foreigners are very powerful. What they show now is far from their final trump card. I think they are stronger than what we see. Such people are worthy of us I took refuge. And Hideyuki Kikuchi found out something, which I think will be very useful to us."
Then, at Hattori Chizuru's signal, Kikuchi Hideyuki told Tokugawa Kayo and his companions all the things he had inquired about. At the same time, he also told the conversation between himself and the foreigner's young warrant officer exactly as they were. ¡¯s retelling.
After listening to Kikuchi Hideyuki¡¯s retelling, Tokugawa Kayo fell into deep thought.
well!
She first sighed secretly in her heart, and then a look of loneliness appeared on her face.
In fact, although the little girl is already the last descendant of the Tokugawa family, she really has no interest in reviving the Tokugawa family.
What she hopes most is to be an ordinary person and live happily.
Rather than living in fear every day like now, and being chased from time to time.
From the age she can remember, she has been living such a homeless and dangerous life. To be honest, she is really tired of it.
It¡¯s just that she has no way to get rid of this life, because this is her fate.
¡°Moreover, she cannot leave Japan because she has no such channels. If she could leave Japan, maybe she would have a chance to live the life she hoped for.
What a pity, what a pity, there was nothing she could do.
Good thing now, the appearance of those foreigners who bombarded Osaka Commercial Town suddenly gave her companions a hope.
Let them see the hope of reviving the Tokugawa family, so she is now further and further away from ordinary people's lives.
However, when she thought of this, she shook her head to get these thoughts out of her mind.
She knows that her ideaIn the eyes of my companions, that is very unrealistic.
She is the heir to the Tokugawa family and the only one left.
These companions surround him, they protect him and make great sacrifices for themselves, and they also shed their blood for the revival of the Tokugawa family.
They have their firm beliefs.
If you dispel their beliefs, then what purpose do they have to survive?
She can¡¯t be so selfish. No matter what, she has to cheer up for the sake of these companions.
"Kikuchi, you have had contact with those foreigners. Do you think they are trustworthy? Don't do the same thing as Zheng Zhilong did. That would be bad."
Hearing that Kikuchi had contact with those foreigners, Tokugawa Kayo asked.
However, she later expressed her concerns.
What Tokugawa Kayo said about "that time about Zheng Zhilong" was not just nonsense. There was a big reason for this.
When Tokugawa Kayo mentioned this matter, the companions around him looked stern and became serious.
Even Hattori Chizuru¡¯s face became stern and as cold as ice.
It turns out that Tokugawa Kayo had an older brother a few years ago, but this older brother was killed by Zheng Zhilong.
At the beginning, Tokugawa Kayo had not yet become the backbone of this group. The leader at that time was Tokugawa Kayo's brother.
At that time, their life had actually begun to be very difficult.
The siege and suppression by the shogunate made their lives difficult for them.
Many companions died during that period.
In order to leave a way for everyone to survive, and to leave a hope for the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Kayo's brother decided to leave Japan at that time.
He believes that as long as they leave Japan, they can stay away from right and wrong and stay away from the shogunate's encirclement and suppression.
After some consideration, he felt that he should use the pirate Zheng Zhilong to achieve his purpose of leaving Japan.
The reason why Zheng Zhilong was chosen instead of Li Xiang was that Tokugawa Kayo's brother had his own considerations at that time.
First of all, Li Xiang has a good relationship with the shogunate, so it is absolutely impossible for Li Xiang to risk breaking up the relationship with the shogunate to help losers like them.
¡°If I approached Li Xiang rashly, I guess Li Xiang would definitely catch them and send them to the shogunate.
What¡¯s more, Li Xiang¡¯s lair is right here in Japan, which makes it even more impossible for him to have trouble with the shogunate.
It was precisely with this situation in mind that he chose to contact Zheng Zhilong, who had no connections in Japan, hoping to live in the Ming Dynasty through him.
"But I never expected that Li Xiang would use Tokugawa Kayo's brother as a favor and send him to the Ishida Shogunate, so he had a little relationship with the Ishida Shogunate.
It turns out that Zheng Zhilong had already started to make plans for Japan, but he just didn¡¯t have the chance.
Now that there is such an opportunity presented to him, how could Zheng Zhilong not seize it.
At that time, everyone in the Tokugawa family was shouting for beatings, and they had little power.
¡° Offending such a person is no big deal to Zheng Zhilong.
Such things caused great losses to the Tokugawa family at that time, and many loyal samurai and ninjas died at that time.
¡°If it hadn¡¯t been for Tokugawa Kayo¡¯s good luck, she might have been caught at that time and sent to the Edo Shogunate to be beheaded.
From that time on, they experienced the betrayal of daimyo merchants, the insidious tricks of the Koreans, and the conspiracies of various daimyo It was precisely because of these things that the remaining Tokugawa people discovered that everyone in the world was Can't believe it.
Therefore, it is normal for Tokugawa Kayo to be wary of Zhao Hongyu and others.
What's more, they have no contact now, but Hideyuki Kikuchi has had some contact with the other party, so there is no way to make Tokugawa Kayo feel at ease and wary.
"Miss, the other party can be completely trusted. At least if we propose to leave Japan on the other party's warship, it will be easy."
" Kikuchi Hideyuki said to Tokugawa Kayo.
"I don't know why you trust the other party so much, but your feelings are always accurate. So what did the other party say?"
Tokugawa Kayo also knows the situation they are in now, and she really has no choice.
It can be said that these foreigners are the life-saving straw for them, of course.?A bad one can also be poison.
But no matter what, you have to be bold and give it a try.
Otherwise, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
"My subordinates revealed our identities to them and told them that we were members of the Tokugawa family who resisted the shogunate."
Kikuchi Hideyuki told what happened when his identity was revealed.
"How did the other party react?"
"There was no reaction. After all, they are all foreigners. But when he heard that we were the sworn enemies of the shogunate, the crown prince seemed to show a little interest."
Hideyuki Kikuchi recalled Zhao Hongyu¡¯s reaction at that time and described it bit by bit.
"Are you just slightly interested?" Tokugawa Kayo frowned slightly. She knew that the other party might not be interested in people like her. After all, they could not give those people actual benefits.
"I heard the other party talking to himself. It seems that the other party intends to support a force in Japan to fight against the shogunate. Their current choice is a guy with a fisherman background. I think this is an opportunity for you, Miss."
Kikuchi made a shocking revelation at this time.
What? The other party wants to support a force in Japan and come against the Ishida Shogunate!
When Tokugawa Kayo heard what Hideyuki Kikuchi said, she could no longer calm down. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
