Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 90

Nabeshima Katsushige, the actual ruler of the Hizen clan, was executed by the Ming army, and the Nabeshima family in the ruling class was betrayed by his own subordinates.These subordinates were afraid that the Naoshima family would retaliate, so they took advantage of the chaos to wipe out the Naoshima family and completely fell to Chu Yun's side.

The news of the destruction of the prosperous Nabeshima family quickly spread throughout Kyushu Island. Dozens of feudal lords, large and small, were greatly shaken, and panic spread to every corner of Kyushu Island.It is even rumored that in order to retaliate against the war 30 years ago, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led an army of 30 to conquer Dongying and was about to hit Honshu Island.Similar rumors grew wildly. For a while, the people of Dongying in Kyushu Island were panicked, and they dared not go out at night.

And Daming's "Great General" Chu Yun has become synonymous with demons, who can stop children from crying at night.

"Prepare the horses and chariots, I want to meet Daming's General Chu in person."

The 50-year-old head of the Shimadzu family of the Satsuma Domain, Shimadzu Tadahiro, could no longer hold back when he heard the news that the main force of the Hizen Domain had been wiped out.Usually it was his second son Mitsuhisa Shimadzu who dealt with the Liao army in southern Liaoning, but this time, Chu Yun was so powerful that Shimadzu Tadahisa had to visit Chu Yun himself.

Edo Castle, a gigantic garden located on a thousand acres, with turbulent water, a big man in kimono sitting in a bamboo forest and playing a game with another big man.One side is a young man who is only 23 years old, while the other side is an old man in his twilight years.

Normally speaking, the old man should be able to easily defeat the young man based on his many years of shogi attainments, but at this time, the old man has a piece of shogi between his fingers, and it is difficult for him to take a single step.

"General Zhengyi's chess skills are becoming more and more profound. It is really admirable to have this attainment at the age of 20. I lost this game." The old man laughed and admitted defeat very readily.

"It was the old general who accepted it." The young nobleman laughed, feeling very happy.

In the courtyard, a maidservant in a long kimono came to the ear of the young noble with small steps and hurriedly, and whispered a few words.

After hearing what the maidservant said, the young nobleman's happy smile gradually froze, and he overturned the chessboard angrily: "Baga!"

The maidservant's pupils shrank, startled.

The old man opposite the young noble also frowned slightly: "What happened?"

"Da Ming deceived people so much that he dared to attack Kyushu Island!" The young noble said angrily, "Da Ming's general Chu Yun defeated Nabeshima Katsushige of the Hizen Domain and hung his head on the top of Saga Castle to demonstrate. His Daming is really majestic!"

"Da Ming... is really an awesome word." The eyes of the old man seemed to recall the epic war that spanned three countries 30 years ago.

"When will it be Daming's turn to kill the feudal lords entrusted by my shogunate? Wait until I gather two hundred feudal lords, gather an army of 20, and drive all the invading Ming troops into the sea to feed the fish!" The young noble raised his eyebrows.

"You must not start a war with Daming." The old man stopped suddenly.

"General Date, are you confused? Now the Ming army is taking the initiative to attack. If it is not eliminated, what is the majesty of our Tokugawa shogunate?" The young nobleman said dissatisfied, and his words became rude.

"General, think about the story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At that time, that lord ruled all the heroes of the Warring States Period. Our national power in Dongying was in its heyday. There were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and thousands of warships. All soldiers experienced the baptism of war, but the result?" The old man said deeply, his tone a little choked.

When the young nobleman heard the old man mentioning Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was immediately speechless.In the late Warring States Period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was originally the biggest winner, but after launching the war to invade Goryeo, he was hit by Ming Dynasty, causing Toyotomi Hideyoshi to fall from the altar, otherwise the Tokugawa family would not have had a chance to take advantage of it.If the current Tokugawa shogunate followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's approach and went to war with Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be easy to encounter the same ending?

"If the Ming army was only for the crusade against Katsushige Nabeshima, then the boy will die. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not threaten our core interests, so what if we sacrifice a small Hizen domain? Hizen domain is just a 30 koku small and medium-sized Fan, it's a pity to eat it without taste." The old man said earnestly.

"I have been taught." The young nobleman sat cross-legged calmly again, and picked up the chess pieces on the floor one by one, "The Ming army is ordered to leave Dongying within ten days, and I can let the past go. If it exceeds ten days, our Tokugawa shogunate will be exhausted." Do your best to destroy them."

"The maidservant is going to pass on the message." The maidservant left respectfully.

"General, our previous patriarchs followed the policy of locking the country and the sea, in order to prevent the big names on the western coast from becoming big and the Western monsters from causing trouble, but now the threat is not only from the inside, but also from the outside. If we continue to lock the country and the sea, I am afraid we will fall behind. It’s far away from Daming. The old man relies on the old to sell the old, so I have to advise the general, there is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty-poor will change, change will lead to success, and success will last, I hope the general will think carefully.” The old man said.

"I understand these things." The young nobleman said slowly with his eyes flickering.

The shogun issued an order to expel the Ming army within a time limit. This time, not only the daimyos of Kyushu Island were shaken, but also the daimyos of Honshu Island and Shikoku Island! 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, and 30 years later, the Ming army will come to Dongying!Moreover, the shogun's order was only to expel, not eliminate, from which we can see the prudence and awe of the shogunate towards Daming!

Before Chu Yun heard the news, the head of the Shimadzu family, Shimadzu Tadahiro, had already come to visit him from the Satsuma domain to the Hizen domain.

In his 50s, Tadahiro Shimadzu's hair is slightly gray, but he is still full of energy.To be inaccurate, this Shimadzu Tadahiro was still a military general in the late Warring States period. He participated in that battle with his father when he was a teenager, and was defeated by Li Rusong's three thousand cavalry.

"The lord of Dongying Satsuma, Shimadzu Tadahiro, has met the general of the Celestial Dynasty." Shimadzu Tadahiro knelt down to Chu Yun.

"General Shimadzu doesn't need to be too polite." Chu Yun felt secretly refreshed when he saw a figure like a living fossil bowing to him, "I don't know why the old general came here?"

"Hizen Nabeshima Katsushige committed suicide and killed a Ming businessman. He deserves death! This bad incident happened in the waters of our Satsuma clan. It is really not the fault of our Satsuma clan. Please forgive us by the admiral crime!" Shimadzu Tadahiro insisted on kneeling on the ground and would not get up.

Or the Shimadzu family will be human!Chu Yun couldn't help but look at Shimadzu Tadahiro differently. This old guy can speak Chinese so fluently, he is not at the same level as Nabeshima Katsushige at all!

"How could I blame you Satsuma! We Da Ming and Satsuma are good partners. Not only will I not blame you, but I will also hand over all the territory and ports of Hizen to you!" Chu Yun clapped friendly Shimadzu Tadahiro's shoulder.

"Al?" Shimadzu Tadani was stunned.This Ming general was kicked by a donkey, why did he suddenly want to give himself 30 shi of the famous land...

"But as a condition... I heard that your Shimadzu family occupied the Ryukyu country before, and our Liao army is short of a port close to the East China Sea... You know..."

　Thank you for your support and everyone.
