Tsurumaru Castle, the residence of the Shimazu family governor, witnessed the glory of the Shimazu family, and also witnessed their decline. Shimazu Zhongheng knelt in front of the conqueror from the Ming Dynasty tremblingly. His knees trembled and he almost fell down. Zhang Haichuan, who was sitting in the middle, took a look and snorted. "Shimazu, I heard that you Japanese pirates like to have their stomachs cut. Don't losers have to be punished? Why didn't you commit suicide?" Zhang Haichuan asked calmly, but no one who was familiar with him would have any doubts. The next moment this person would May stood up angrily and helped Shimazu commit suicide by caesarean section. To say that Zhang Ke was very murderous, at least Zhang Ke had to be charged with a legitimate crime before taking action. For Zhang Haichuan, there is no need at all. I will kill you if I don¡¯t like you. What can I do to you! With sweat pouring from his forehead, Shimazu suddenly fell to the ground and said the most skillful sentence in his life. "The heaven is so majestic and the country is so majestic that barbarian sinners dare not commit suicide!" After saying this, he knocked his head to the ground. ¡°I¡¯m too scared to commit suicide, so going to heaven is more terrifying than death?¡± Zhang Haichuan was not dissatisfied at all. On the contrary, he laughed loudly and felt very comfortable. He pointed at Shimazu Tadahashi and said: "Okay, very good. What I want is a guy who is afraid of China to the core. What do those nonsense literati always say? 5 Xiu De, saying that the internal affairs are clean and the foreigners are submissive is nonsense. If you don¡¯t show your fists, don¡¯t show your fangs, and don¡¯t hurt these Japanese pirates, who will take you seriously?¡± In front of Jin Zhongheng, he kicked him with his toes and said: "Get up." "Hi." Shimazu seemed to be fished out of the water, bending at a ninety-degree angle, and he was even more obedient than his grandson. At this time, Ming Ruxin sneered: "Shimazu Tadahashi, it's been three days since our Heavenly Soldiers broke Tsurumaru Castle. It stands to reason that you could run to other vassal states to hide, or even seek help from some bullshit General Zhengyi, but why did you stay here?" Around Kagoshima, trying to rally the old troops to fight against the Celestial Empire? "Shimazu's face turned bitter. He would have escaped if he could. "Your Majesty, the sinner dare not leave." "Why?" "Because, because the sinner has too many enemies, they all want the sinner to die. Falling into their hands would be more terrifying than death." Now, the island Jin Zhongheng was not lying. The Satsuma Domain is powerful and can be regarded as one of the top vassals in Japan. And because of winning Ryukyu. Controlling the only trade route between China and Japan, the Satsuma Domain accumulated a large amount of wealth. Not only did they have money, they even obtained a lot of Western firearms through trade and learned Western knowledge. In addition, the equipment was also improving rapidly. The Tokugawa shogunate also thought about killing the Satsuma clan, but they were powerless and could only suppress it as much as possible. Without the intervention of the Uiju soldiers, this situation would have continued. It wasn't until the Black Ship Incident that Japan opened its doors, and the powerful southwestern feudal lords represented by the Satsuma clan accumulated enough strength to kill the Tokugawa shogunate. The implementation of the Meiji Restoration led Japan to a path of sin "Sir, my Shimazu family once fought with the Tokugawa family and controlled the maritime trade routes. Other vassal states have been coveting it for a long time. If they know that the Shimadzu family has been defeated, They will definitely add insult to injury." Shimazu said and pulled out a dagger. The surrounding guards thought that he was going to commit murder and hurriedly raised their firecrackers. Zhang Haichuan waved his hands calmly, but the soldiers did not relax at all. As long as he dared to take action, he would immediately turn into a sieve. Shimazu raised his left hand high, swung the dagger, and his little finger was cut off. Blood rushed out. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and kowtowed to Zhang Haichuan. "I, Shimazu Tadahashi, swear by the honor that I have rented for generations, that I will be loyal to the Heavenly Kingdom in this life, and that I am willing to go through fire and water for the Heavenly Kingdom, even if I die!" As he spoke, he tore off the clothes on his chest, pulled off a piece of white cloth, and used his own blood to write the said The vows made were written down. Zhang Haichuan¡¯s eyes lit up. If he wasn¡¯t interested, he wouldn¡¯t bother to pay attention and would just throw it into the sea and feed it to the sharks. Now that he has met Shimazu Tadahashi, he has thought of taking him under his command and serving him. Although Zhang Ke¡¯s letter used the method of provoking generals and made Zhang Haichuan very angry, Zhang Ke mentioned in it the use of barbarians to control barbarians, and Zhang Haichuan really listened to it. The Japanese country has a population of tens of millions. How long will it take to kill them with firecrackers? What¡¯s more, they also need Japanese people to work. "Shimazu Tadahashi is not stupid, he actually took the initiative to join him, and Zhang Haichuan was very happy. "Come here, take him down and bandage the wound first." Shimazu Tadahashi was very grateful. When he arrived at the military medical officer, a doctor accompanying the army came over. He first cleaned the wound, then applied white powder, and then wrapped it with gauze. good. The movements were clean and neat, and the medicine was very effective. After applying it, the bleeding stopped quickly. Shimazu Zhongheng was flattered, and the Ming army prepared to use the bestThe doctor used the most expensive medicinal materials to help him treat his injuries. It was such a blessing that he almost cried. It took many years for Shimazu to figure out that what he was given was just ordinary Panax notoginseng powder, and the bandage was just an ordinary military doctor. This only shows that the medicine of the DPRK far exceeded the imagination of the Japanese. After some actions, Shimazu Tadahashi completely surrendered to the Yishu soldiers. Zhang Haichuan immediately ordered him to regroup the Satsuma warriors who had fled everywhere and form an army again. The total armed forces of the Satsuma Domain totaled about 10,000 people. More than a quarter of them died in this battle, especially the large number of middle- and lower-level samurai who died, which made Shimazu heartbroken. Those people were not only brave warriors, but also small lords under his rule, the foundation of the vassal state. Of course, the Ming army didn't care. When Shimazu reorganized the troops, they immediately arranged for 300 Ming army soldiers to serve as instructors to retrain Satsuma's armed forces. He was said to be an instructor, but he was actually the Supreme Emperor. As long as Shimazu dared to have second thoughts, the Ming army would immediately crush him to death and replace him with a new puppet. In fact, Shimazu did not dare to have any second thoughts. On the tenth day after taking Satsuma Domain, other powerful feudal lords in the surrounding area got the news one after another. They didn't even know that the Ming army was attacking the Satsuma Domain. They just knew that the Satsuma Domain was defeated by a powerful force and collapsed. These feudal states immediately gathered their forces and prepared to invade the Satsuma Domain to gain some oil and water. Just when everyone was actively preparing to fight, the news also reached the Tokugawa Shogunate in Edo. At this time, it was Tokugawa Iemitsu, the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was in charge of power. Since he became the general, Tokugawa Iemitsu has promoted seclusion measures to prevent ambitious lords from colluding with foreign countries and threatening his rule. Gradually, Japan has stabilized, and the authority of the shogunate has become increasingly solid. He is satisfied with his ambition. ¡°It¡¯s not like Han people like to say that it¡¯s harder to start a business than to maintain it. Now he has managed to maintain the foundation of the Tokugawa family, which can be regarded as quite an achievement. On this day, Tokugawa Iemitsu had just returned from worshiping at the shrine, and his retainers hurriedly reported the situation to him. "General, there has been a change in the Satsuma Domain?" "There has been a change? Are they going to rebel?" The retainer shook his head quickly: "No, no, I don't even know what's going on. I heard that there were heavenly soldiers and generals who surrendered the Satsuma Domain to "Prazed." "Nonsense!" Tokugawa Iemitsu said through his teeth. (To be continued)
