The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 727 Mori

"Five thousand iron cannons?!" More than a dozen people in the room couldn't help but exclaimed in unison, "With so many iron cannons, they will surely avenge their blood!"

You must know that even Tokugawa Iemitsu's direct descendants are equipped with at most [-]% of the firecrackers.In other words, even according to this ratio, five thousand firecrackers are enough to equip an army of sixteen or seven thousand!
And there is food.

If the rebel army had such excellent weapons and supplies more than ten years ago, it would never have been slaughtered by the shogunate army!

Immediately, a young man stood up and said, "My Yano family would like to follow Master Amakusa!"

"My Araki family is at the disposal of Lord Amakusa!"

But the old man still shook his head and said: "My lord priest, unlike ten years ago, the Tokugawa family's power is stable. Even with a large number of iron cannons, it may be difficult to withstand more than [-] shogunate troops. According to the meaning of the old man, we When gathering strength in secret, wait until next year..."

Lou Ming interrupted him and said, "Lord Amakusa has received an oracle, and if we want us to raise troops immediately, then heaven will send a vision to help us."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering: "A vision from heaven?"

Lou Ming pretended to be deep and said: "Oracle, the world will be in chaos soon, and it is time for me to wait for the Catholics to exorcise demons."

"really?!"

"Master Amakusa is unpredictable, and there will be no mistakes."

Seeing that these people were still hesitant, Lou Ming continued, "Soon the Mori family will raise troops to rebel against the Tokugawa, and there will be chaos in Edo, and then the world will become famous, and the shogunate will have no time to take care of Hizen."

He looked at the old man again, "The act of righteousness ten years ago, if it wasn't for the Helan people who turned against each other at a critical moment and fired warships at the original city, how could the shogunate army break through the city so quickly?"

"That's true."

"If there are warships covering our rebel army around Kyushu, can the shogunate army still be as arrogant as it was ten years ago?"

"Of course not!" The old man's eyes lit up, "Master Amakusa summoned the battleship?!"

"This, huh, the heavenly secret must not be leaked."

Finally, no one had any doubts anymore, and they all swore to worship Lord Amicao, follow the oracle, and eradicate the evil spirits.

Lou Ming counted, and there are more than a thousand men under these people and clansmen alone, and they are all respectable figures in Shimabara, and their influence is ten times greater.

After everyone discussed the details of the incident, the sky gradually brightened, so they went down the mountain and dispersed.

A middle-aged man at the back grabbed the old man and said in a low voice, "Master Zetian, do you really believe that this man from the Ming Dynasty is Lord Amakusa's godfather?"

The old man smiled slyly, "I have my doubts about Master Amakusa's reincarnation. But what does it matter if it's true or not?"

He glanced at the middle-aged man, "My son, grandson, and granddaughter all died at the hands of the shogunate, and Zuo Shanjun's parents were also...

"As long as there are [-] iron cannons and sufficient food, plus the rebellion of the Maori family, why don't we take the opportunity to take revenge?

"Okay, I'm going to contact the disciples. Mr. Zuoshan, hurry up too. When we see those iron cannons and food, we will immediately attack Omura Castle. Omura Chunlai only has more than 700 soldiers in his hands. It must not be us. opponent!"

……

Japan, western Honshu Island.

Nagato country, Hagi city.

Mao Lixiuyuan sat upright, and gestured to the tea bowl on the wooden table, "Mr. Dai, please use it."

Dai Xiuyuan listened to the interpreter's report, picked up his teacup and said, "I don't know how your lord thinks about that matter?"

Mao Lixiuyuan laughed, "I just pretended that I had never heard of Mr. Dai's joke. I, Changfu Fan, are loyal to the shogunate and have no other thoughts."

"Oh? Really?" Dai Xiuyuan said with a half-smile, "The Mori family resolutely supported Tokugawa in the Sekigahara War, and that's how the Eastern Army won a great victory, and the Edo Shogunate was able to rule the world.

"However, Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't think about Maori's great achievements. Instead, he cut off the 83 koku fiefs of the Maori family, Aki, Izumo, etc., so that the first-class wealthy family in the Warring States period became a small feudal clan with only 30 koku left.

"Being so humiliated, didn't the Maori family think about revenge?"

The Battle of Sekigahara was a key battle between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori for Japanese hegemony.At that time, the Mori family was one of the main forces of the Toyotomi family, but they reached a secret agreement with Tokugawa Ieyasu at the time of the decisive battle, and they stayed in the city and refused to send troops, which eventually led to the defeat of Toyotomi's Western Army.

But after Tokugawa Ieyasu took power, he was very afraid of the huge power of the Maori family, so he found some excuses to cut off most of his land.

Since then, although the Maori family has been obedient on the surface, they have always held a grudge secretly.In the end, they waited until the Meiji Restoration, and finally joined forces with Satsuma to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate.

Of course, in today's Japan, everyone thinks that Maori has died down and decided to become a obedient minister.

Mao Lixiuyuan sniffed the tea, shook his head and said, "Please stop saying such disrespectful words. If I didn't respect your profound knowledge, I would definitely send you to Edo for questioning."

Dai Xiuyuan had received the imperial edict to fully launch the Japanese strategy, so a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly, "I don't know what's the meaning of 'has the time come'?"

When Mao Lixiuyuan heard the interpreter say these five words, his whole body trembled, he shouted at the servants and guards in the room, stared at Dai Xiuyuan and said, "Where did you hear that?"

It turned out that since the Maori family was reduced, the whole family hated the Tokugawa family. Every year on New Year's Day, the Maori family would gather the core members of the family and ask themselves: "Is the time coming?"

It means whether the time is ripe to bring down the Tokugawa shogunate.

Then the Patriarch will say with resentment: "Not yet."

This tradition was maintained by the vengeful Mori family until the Meiji Restoration.

And at this time Dai Xiuyuan told the most secret matter of the Maoli family, why wasn't Maoli Xiuyuan surprised and frightened?
Dai Xiuyuan naturally listened to what the Son of Heaven said.He signaled Xiuyuan to relax, "I know much more than that. After the battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu had your father as the vanguard and went to Kyushu to conquer the Shimadzu family. Fortunately, your father refused."

Mao Lixiuyuan frowned and said, "So what?"

"How? Tokugawa Ieyasu was planning to lure the main force of the Mori family out of Osaka Castle and catch them all on the way. Fortunately, Terumoto-sama didn't want to make an enemy of Shimadzu, so he didn't agree, otherwise..."

"There is such a thing?!" Mao Lixiuyuan was shocked, for a while, he couldn't care less about how this "businessman" of the Ming Dynasty knew so many extremely secret things.

This kind of black material Zhu Linming naturally had as much as he wanted.

Dai Xiuyuan smiled and said, "When your lord captures Tokugawa Iemitsu, you will know as soon as you ask."

Mao Lixiuyuan looked at him coldly, thinking whether to get rid of this Ming businessman who knew too much to prevent the news from leaking.

Seeing his expression, Dai Xiuyuan leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Mori is far more than the only one who is dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family in Japan. To tell you the truth, I have already visited the Shimadzu family and the Uesugi family, and they are already gearing up. .

"As long as the Maori family moves, they will immediately follow suit."
