"I heard Zheng Zhilong say that during this period, the Shogun coalition was a little difficult to resist under the counterattack of the shogunate. In May last year, the Shogunate Army lost 3,000 people in the Nara Formation launched by the Shogunate. In September, the Shogunate Army almost conquered Osaka Castle. The Shogunate Army lost more than 4,000 people. The inside of the Shogunate Alliance also began to shake due to these two major wars. Once the Shogunate Army's new army conquered Osaka, it could threaten Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island." Chu Yun said.

"What you know is really detailed. Since the Shogunate possessed tens of thousands of muskets, it has been invincible and we were forced to shrink. Moreover, after the establishment of the Yokohama Concession, it has stolen a lot of trade in our Nagasaki Port, so we have lost many sources of economic resources and the battle with the Shogunate is even more at a disadvantage..." Shimazu Kokusa said undeniably.

"Long ago, Zheng Zhilong had reconnected with you. When the Huaxia Association was established, he took you to meet Seiichi Tanaka and others. In fact, our Kyushu Army did not simply support the shogunate, but rather supported you and the Huaxia Association instead of the shogunate." Chu Yun said.

Shimazu Kokusa wanted to curse people. Since you support the Shogun coalition forces to replace the shogunate, why did you support the shogunate before? The Shimazu family was also very painful to be played by Chu Yun's checks and balances policy, but unfortunately, the Kyushu Army was too powerful, so they could only passively fall into checks and balances.

"Mr. Master, if you want us and Huaxia to replace the shogunate, you may need help. Otherwise, we will most likely fail completely in the next Osaka formation next spring. This time I am not representing our Shimazu family, but also the Mori family, Yamauchi family and other vassal lords ask you for help..." Shimazu Kokusa had to ask Chu Yun for help.

"You should know that there is no free banquet in the world, and it takes a price to get assistance from us." Chu Yun naturally knew the purpose of Shimazu Kokusa's arrival.

"What is the price?" said Shimazu Kokusa.

"It depends on what you want. Even if you want to destroy the shogunate, it is not impossible to pay enough money." Chu Yun said.

Sakai Tadaokaku and his friends waited outside for a long time, but Shimazu Kokuha brought the envoy in for a long time but didn't come out.

"Sakura, the situation seems not so right. The envoy of the Shimazu family went in longer than the Goryeo. It feels like the envoy of the Goryeo is reminiscing about the past, while the envoy of the Shimazu family is plotting something." Aoyama Yukien was waiting outside to be impatient.

Not only him, all the shogunate envoys were a little anxious. They also felt that the Shimazu family's envoys had been in to see Chu Yun for too long. The Shimazu family was their enemy, and if they held the Kyushu army's thighs, it would not be a good thing for the shogunate.

After waiting for two hours, Shimazu Kokusaki brought his people out.

"What kind of transaction did your Shimazu family reach with the Kyushu army?" Sakai Tadao stood up and stopped Shimazu Kokusa.

"Senior Sakai, you are not young anymore, and you have to worry about these things for the shogunate. I think your shogunate should be careful and don't let us fight to Edo Castle by then." Shimazu Kokusa patted Tadaka Sakai's shoulder, and then left here with a group of envoys.

Tadaoka Sakai's face was as heavy as water, and he didn't know whether Shimazu Kokuha was just threatening him or to be honest.

"It's your turn to go in." Yu Cheng stood out and said to them.

"Saki Kan, let's go in." Aoyama Yukien said.

"Let's go." Although Tadao Sakai realized that Shimazu Kokusa had reached a secret deal with the Kyushu Army, Shimazu Kokusa, as the enemy of the shogunate, could not tell him.

"Wait, you can't go in so many people together, you can only have two people at most." Yu Cheng stopped them and his group.

"Aoyama-kun and I went in, and the rest were waiting outside."

Tadao Sakai asked the others to wait, then took a deep breath and entered Chu Yun's mansion with Yukise Aoyama, who was also a major shogunate. His uneasiness at this time was even more nervous than when he met the shogun General for the first time. Chu Yun was behind the scenes of Japan. The situation in Japan became stalemate almost directly and indirectly, and even the Beiyang Fleet stationed in Yokohama Port had to obey his command.

"We will keep your samurai swords on our behalf." Yu Cheng asked the guards to search Sakai Tadaokaku, Aoyama Yukizumi and others, and then let them enter.

Because the last time the assassination of Chu Yun occurred in Nanjing City, Yu Cheng was even more cautious and the mansion was strictly prohibited from weapons.

Tadaoka Sakai and Yukien Aoyama entered the mansion. They thought it would be magnificent inside, but it was just a mansion that was not unusual in the capital, which was far inferior to the imperial palace.

"The powerful ruler of the Kyushu Army only lives in such an ordinary place?" Tadaokazu Sakai was a little puzzled. Even the places where the shogun lived were taller than here.

"What a strange man." Aoyama Yukien was also surprised. If it were him, he might have built a large-scale project long ago.

Tadaokazu Sakai and Yukien Aoyama looked at the scenery inside the mansion and soon arrived at the front hall. When they saw Chu Yun, they were even more shocked because Chu Yun looked younger than their shogun.

Moreover, unlike Tokugawa Iemitsu, Chu Yun started from scratch, while Tokugawa Iemitsu inherited the Tokugawa Iemitsu's family background, and there is no comparison between the two.

Moreover, this person is also the ruler of 20 million square kilometers of land. In comparison, the shogunate can actually control less than 200,000 square kilometers, which is only 100 times the difference, and the population is more than 10 times different, which is not of the same size at all.

This is the first time that their shogunate people have seen Chu Yun!

"What are you going to do when you come from afar?" Chu Yun was also the first time he met the shogunate. Both of them were old shogunate ministers who were nearly fifty years old.

"We are here to go to China under the order of the Shogunate General. This is the tribute given to the military lord by our Shogunate General." Sakai Tadao pointed to a samurai sword confiscated by Yu Cheng. "This is a famous sword 'Longboat'. It was originally owned by the Muromachi Shogunate Yoshihiro. Later, through the hands of the Oda family and the Tokugawa family, it was a treasure that our Shogun cherished even more."

"Take it and show it to me." Chu Yun said to Yu Cheng.

"I've checked it, there's no problem." Yu Cheng handed the samurai sword to Chu Yun with both hands.

Chu Yun took the samurai sword and pulled it out. A cold light flowed over the blade. It was indeed a good knife. The samurai sword basically evolved from the Tang sword and the Ming sword, but it also had its own style.
