Chapter 1086 Power
"This is a violation!"

Seeing Xia Jun's actions, Sakakihara shuddered all over and tried hard to maintain it.

Beside him, Shen Tingyang was very contented.

How many years!

China was either detained repeatedly by nomads in the north, or was ravaged by Japanese pirates along the coast.

Time after time, foreign invasions really made the people of the world feel angry and helpless.

Now it is possible to show its prestige overseas, how carefree it is!

There is only Xia Guo.

Only Xia Guo can do this.

"Hand over the murderer, otherwise these people will be the murderer."

Shen Tingyang pointed to the pier.

Over there, Xia Jun was escorting the captured Satsuma sailors ashore one by one, and ordered them to kneel by the water.

Xia Jun's cold bayonet could fall at any time.

There were thousands of captives, and the scene was spectacular.

Sakakibara was extremely desperate.

Of course he understood that if Xia Jun really executed these Dongpu warriors in public here, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Dongpu.

The Dongying people who saw this scene were afraid that they would never be able to raise their heads again from now on.

"It's a big matter, and I can't make the decision. Lord Shen, please allow some time, and I will report this matter to General Da'ao."

Shen Tingyang stretched out five fingers.

"Five days, you only have five days. If there is no reply after five days, then there is no need to reply."

Sakakibara left in a hurry.

Things have come to this point, far beyond his authority.

His only remaining hope was that Nagasaki would not be bombarded by Xia Guo's navy again.

It would be a pity if this beautiful city were to be destroyed.

In five days, will Xia Congress wait patiently?

Obviously not.

Zhang Keda just took a turn in Nagasaki, and then led a squadron to go north along the coast of Kyushu Island.

Soon, a narrow channel entrance appeared in front of him.

The two sides of the entrance have already been fortified by Dongpu, and there are patrol boats on the water.

Obviously, the merchant ships that passed by here would absolutely not be able to pass if they did not leave something behind.

The Xia State Navy decided to follow this tradition and left something behind.

But what they left behind was...

cannonballs.

During the violent bombing, Xiaguan was razed to the ground.

Countless Dongpu people fled in a hurry, and the news of panic would definitely spread throughout Dongpu.

Zhang Keda didn't care about destroying the pass of Dongpu.

He swung his army across the Shimonoseki Strait and entered the Seto Inland Sea all the way.

Only one year has passed since the Battle of Tsushima.

But this year, the difference in strength between Xia Guo and Dongying has been greatly different, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

It's not that Xia Guo's strength has improved too fast, but that Dongpu's strength has been reduced more seriously.

Without the navy of Satsuma, although Japan is an island country, its power on the water is negligible.

In addition, the reason why Zhang Keda dared to enter so presumptuously was that through more than a year of operation, the details of Dongpu had already been figured out by Xia Guo.

Although Shen Tingyang and others arrived in Japan, they were only stationed in Nagasaki and had not been to other places.

But in many cases, the acquisition and collection of intelligence is not very difficult.

The businessmen coming and going are enough to reveal the information of Dongpu.

Xia Guo already knew that Dongpu's sea power was completely wiped out.Therefore, the navy can rush into the inland sea of ​​Japan unscrupulously without worrying about any accidents.

Now Japan finally knows how big the trouble is.

Zhang Ke led his army straight to Beppu Bay, on the verge of Oita.

Just this one blow made Matsudaira Nobuzuna's soul explode.

The shogunate army led by him landed in Oita to quell the Shimabara riots.

As a result, although the vanguard troops led by him have completed the landing, the subsequent troops of other daimyos have been completely blocked by Xia Guo's navy, and they cannot get through at all.

Not only that, but the army of Bizen Fukuyama was also bombarded by Xia Guo's navy.More than [-] ships were sunk, and more than a thousand soldiers were killed or fell into the water.

In addition to the inability of follow-up soldiers to arrive, the logistical supplies most needed by the shogunate army were also cut off by Xia Guo.

Now let alone the suppression of the Shimabara riots, whether so many troops can be maintained has become a big problem.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna really wanted to take action against Xia Guo's army immediately to show the majesty of Dongpu.

However, Xia Guo's army is all on the battleship, he can only look at the ocean and sigh, and he can't use his strength.

Bad news ensued.

Just when Matsudaira Nobutsuna hadn't figured out how to deal with Xia Guo's navy, the situation in Kyushu Island deteriorated further.

After defeating the Kumamoto clan, Yuan Shengtu immediately led his army back to the division. After joining forces with Amakusa Tokisada, he launched a fierce attack on Saga Castle.

With enough artillery to help, the city defense of the Saga domain was completely useless.

Three days later, the Shimahara Rebel Army entered Saga Castle.

Nabeshima Katsushige had just had time to send someone to Matsudaira Nobutsuna to deliver the last letter of appeal for help, before he was killed by the Shimahara rebels in the vassal.

This time, the situation in Kyushu Island was completely out of control.

The Shimabara Rebel Army has completely rushed out of the Shimabara Peninsula, occupying the Saga Domain, and can spy on the Kumamoto Domain to the south.

The Nagasaki and Fukuoka domains are also in trouble, and there is no peace.

Counting the troops at hand, Nobuzuna Matsudaira suddenly discovered that, let alone the Shimabara riots, he might die in Kyushu soon.

With the situation collapsing, Nobuzuna Matsudaira had no choice but to bite the bullet and write the situation here into a letter, hoping that Iemitsu Tokugawa could judge the situation and make the right choice.

However, before his letter was delivered, Tokugawa Iemitsu's messenger rushed over.

Tokugawa Iemitsu only conveyed one sentence to Matsudaira Nobutsuna.

"Countering rebellion is paramount."

In just four words, Matsudaira Nobuzuna let out a sigh of relief.

Although this choice is very humiliating, it is the most correct for Japan and the Tokugawa shogunate.

"Tell Nagasaki Fengxing and agree to Xia Guo's conditions."

Matsudaira Nobutsuna conveyed Tokugawa Iemitsu's attitude.

Sakakibara was the most depressed.

He knew very well that he who presided over this matter would probably leave an indelible black spot in the history books and become the eternal sinner of Japan.

But he had no choice but to appear humbly in front of Shen Tingyang.

"Master Shen, what happened before was all a misunderstanding. We have found out the culprit, and now I will leave it to you to deal with. For the sake of good relations between the two countries, please calm down and end the war."

Looking at Yurong Yamada, who was tied up and brought to him by Wuhuada, a smile appeared on the corner of Shen Tingyang's mouth.

"In order to protect the safety of our merchants from the Xia Kingdom, our Xia Kingdom Navy will maintain law and order in the waters in the western part of Kyushu from now on. I wonder if it is possible?"

Now that things have been chosen to back down anyway, what else can Japan do?
"can."
