Chapter 803 madman
Gunshots broke out in the silent forest, and the ambush circle was less than [-] steps away from the middle of the road. A dozen AKs instantly smashed Honda Chiyo into a sieve, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Patriarch!" Miyamoto only had time to utter an exclamation, and he was shot several times before he could even draw out his sword.

The hundred and ten personal guards of Honda Chiyo were well-trained, and half of them were quickly separated to surround Honda Chiyo and Miyamoto Shimaki.

A shuttle of bullets was quickly finished, and everyone looked at the Dongying samurai rushing towards them with a samurai sword and sneered.

呵呵味——

Under Liu Hongjian's order, more than a dozen people opened the safety of the grenade one after another, and then threw the grenade in a parabola into the group of warriors rushing towards them, holding knives in both hands and screaming.

Boom—boom—

Grenades are tantamount to massacres against cold weapons. After a round of grenades, less than half of the fifty or sixty Japanese warriors could stand. Liu Hongjian immediately ordered Kuo Duan and others to throw a second wave without hesitation.

Naturally, Liu Hongjian had stored the grenade in the ring space in advance. Unlike the AKM, it was wrapped in a piece of linen and could be carried on the back, and the key was not to get wet.

Boom—boom boom—

This is Dongpu, the real outlaw place, and they are the outlaw lunatics.

"Hand over our merchant ships, or your Hondas will never be at peace! (Dutch)" Hirakawa Naoki yelled at the half of the survivors on the side of the road, who were responsible for protecting Chiyo Honda's safety.

"It's done, let's withdraw!" Liu Hongjian patted Shichizaemon's shoulder in a daze, and said while changing magazines.

It's not that Shichizaemon has little knowledge, it's that the battle just now exceeded his imagination.

The terrifyingly powerful musket that can fire continuously, and the iron lump that explodes when it smokes, almost in the blink of an eye, the grandson of Honda Tadakatsu, the head of the Honda family, and one of the three major powers in Edo One Honda Chiyo died just like that.

Moreover, there were fifty or sixty fierce Dongpu warriors who were wiped out together. He had seen the strength of the guards around Honda Chiyo. At least two of the warriors he raised could not do as well as one of them.

But so what?In Liu Hongjian's hands, it was just a matter of a bullet or a grenade.

As long as your body is still fleshy, as long as you have not attained Taoism, no matter how powerful you are, a bullet can send you to see Amaterasu.

When a dozen or so people were retreating, there was still a group of warriors who wanted to chase them, but Kuo Duan and others shot them to death halfway. The group ran deep into the forest, got on their horses and ran westward.

"It's the Dutch!" Miyamoto heard Naoki Hirakawa's roar, and not only heard it but also understood it. As Honda Chiyo's most trusted samurai, he knew about the feud between the Patriarch and the Dutch businessman.

It's just that he didn't expect the Dutch to be so bold!

"Patriarch! Vomit——" Miyamoto looked at the patriarch who had been beaten into a human form in front of him, blood was constantly dripping from his mouth amidst the grief and indignation in his heart, and his body had reached its limit after being shot several times.

"Nakao-kun, I can't hold on any longer. It was a Dutch businessman who attacked us. Wanwang will truthfully report this matter...report it to the general!" Miyamoto fell beside Honda Chiyo after finishing speaking.

……

Honda Chiyo was assassinated and killed. This is definitely a major event for the major forces in Edo, and it is enough to describe it as shock.

Tokugawa Iemitsu personally brought people to Honda for an inspection. Nakao Jiro, as a witness, truthfully described the scene to Tokugawa Iemitsu, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's face instantly sank.

It’s just that Tokugawa Iemitsu is not an ordinary person. He doesn’t think it was done by the Dutch. It’s not that he doesn’t believe Nakao Jiro. Years of experience tell him that what he sees may not be true.

A few days ago, he also met with a viscount of the Dutch, and they had a good conversation. The Dutch wanted to come to Japan to do business, and these merchants were just needed for some domestic necessities after the country was locked up.

Tokugawa Iemitsu knew how many stupid things Honda had done in these years, but because of the affection of his ancestors, and this guy had always been loyal, he kept turning a blind eye.

Blackmailing a ship from the Dutch was something that Ben Tachiyo was absolutely capable of, but according to his understanding, the cunning Dutch would definitely not dare to assassinate his general because of this.

The Dutch can definitely tell which is more important. Even if they really want to resolve this matter, they should come to the shogunate to discuss, rather than directly assassinate.

So the one who assassinated Honda Chiyo must be someone else!
"Come on! Quickly inform Viscount Coleridge that the general has something important to discuss!" The Tokugawa family said with a sullen face.

"General, you must avenge our patriarch!" Nakao Jiro fell to his knees when he heard that Tokugawa Iemitsu had just invited the Dutch to discuss.

With Nakao Jiro taking the lead, the other retainers of the Honda family naturally began to cry one by one.

"Hinmi Nakata, go and get someone to detain all the Dutch in the city." Tokugawa Iemitsu frowned and sighed.

He didn't want to pin the crime on the Dutch, but he had to consider the emotions of the family's retainers, which made him hate the real mastermind even more.

……

While Tokugawa Iemitsu sent people to arrest the Dutchman, he secretly investigated the suspicious murderer. Even Honda Chiyo's bad debts over the years were turned upside down, but he still had no clue.

There is no way, Honda has offended too many people. Words such as full of evil and too many books are almost tailor-made for him. Anyone has a reason to kill Honda.

It's just that Edo is his lair, and nothing can cause trouble here. Tokugawa Iemitsu believes that there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed.

But he didn't want to suffer from the dumbness. Rao knew that the Dutch didn't do it, but those assassins were all dressed in Dutch costumes, and they even shouted Dutch. No one could question this.

He wanted to blackmail Viscount Coleridge to see if he could win more profit margins for the shogunate in terms of trade.

It's just that things were not as simple as Tokugawa Iemitsu thought. Two days later, another event that shocked everyone happened in Edo, a city controlled by the shogunate.

As soon as Viscount Coleridge, Lieutenant Commander of the Dutch Navy, took his men ashore, he was caught off guard by a group of Japanese people in kimonos. The weapons in the hands of these Japanese people were not samurai swords, but black and bright continuous fire guns.

Coleridge was just as unlucky as Honda Chiyo, he was instantly beaten into a sieve, half of his head was knocked off.

And when the group of samurai retreated, they shouted the slogan of revenge for Tachiyo Honda...

It was a big blow at once. The Dutch didn't know how Honda Chiyo died, but their merchant ship was indeed detained by the Japanese people on unwarranted charges, and the captain of the squadron, Cole Ridge, was indeed shot and killed by the Japanese people.

Is this worth it?The Dutch moved very quickly, and Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't even have time to react. The Dutch warships between Dongying and Daming Sea were urgently mobilized to the sea off important ports such as Nagasaki and Edo.

The water in Dongying became even muddier.

"Brother Ermu, how is this king doing as a shit-stirring stick?"
