Many people feel sorry for Zheng Zhilong when they go from martial arts to literary affairs. After all, the world is still far away, Donglu, Ming Dynasty! Even in the South Ocean, thousands of miles away, there are places for wars everywhere, and military affairs are still long when they are prosperous. Of course, it is easier to be a general Qiu Ba who leads troops to fight than a civil servant!

But Zheng Zhilong didn't think so. Although his prestige in the navy was at its peak, his foundation was deep, and his old subordinates were everywhere. But it was precisely this, it was even more dangerous for him to their Zheng family. Among the military officers, he was already in a state of promotion. If he didn't hand over the troops in his hands, it seemed like the end of the ship being destroyed!

The hundreds of years of history of the Ming Dynasty shows that in a powerful dynasty, civil officials will always be safer than military generals and will easily save their lives! For families, it is also easier to establish a long-term clan power in peaceful times! After all, under the intimidation of a strong imperial power, civil officials will have more opportunities to stand out than military generals! Look at the current Ming Dynasty, you will know that any civil servant scholar dares to give the Qiu Ba generals the first to eat. In this world, the people who are tempted will always be closer to the center of power than those who use swords and guns, because they are not that dangerous!

So although it was transferred from a military position to a civilian position, Zheng Zhilong was not unwilling to accept it. In fact, the official position given to him by Li Zhe actually made him more expectant! Even if the position of the left political participation in politics is temporarily settled, it has to make people think a lot. Could this be the position of prime minister and cabinet in the future?

For people like Zheng Zhilong, whether it is power or gold or silver, he has no great attraction to him. What he values ​​more is his future personal reputation and his family's protection!

There is no doubt that he is still very satisfied with the current arrangement!

But what he thought of was still a far-reaching thing for the current generals of Dongjiang, such as Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. He was a soldier just to have a meal. For these Liaodong generals who had experienced a tragic career in Liaodong and had just struggled out of the sea of ​​fire, they were far from thinking about so many!

The army continues to move forward!

...

On July 5, 1633, the Jeju Island border defense fleet, which completed the mission of submitting the declaration of war from Honshu Island, returned to the port. When they reached the sea near Tsushima Island, they encountered hundreds of main warships of the Satsuma Navy. Because the border defense fleet was modified by civilian merchant ships, their combat power was low, and they were outnumbered in the encounter, so they hurriedly sent a signal for help.

A few hours later, a group of seven main warships of 100-ton warships from the port of Busan, North Korea, arrived at the battlefield. At first sight, they immediately launched a fierce battle. The power of hundreds of large tubes on Li Zhejun's warships broke out. Under a violent bombing, more than 20 Japanese warships were sunk and more than 50 injured. The remaining warships fled one after another. The sailors who made the Japanese stronger boats came to act as warships. After encountering warship artillery that had surpassed them for hundreds of years, they immediately revealed their true colors. Two thousand elite Japanese sailors were killed at sea after fighting!

At this point, an inadvertent encounter inadvertently defeated the navy of Satsuma, the most powerful vassal on Kyushu Island, almost wiped out the entire army. He no longer had the ability to stop Li Zhejun's main force before the arrival of Kyushu Island.

Afterwards, the patrol scope of the North Sea Fleet Pioneer Department became more and more arrogant, and soon began to move forward to blockade all parts of the coastal areas of Kyushu Island, destroy civilian ships, and prohibit going out of the sea! The troops even reached the port periphery of Nagasaki Port, the largest port in Kyushu! The invasion was obvious!

...

Japan, Edo, the young three-generation shogun Tokugawa Ieki, who had just ended the era of co-governance with the Omoto, bowed deeply to the important officials around him: "You guys! Now my great Japan is going to be attacked by the Ming people in the Nakabara again. The Ming people's declaration of war has arrived in Edo. Hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting to be launched on the peninsula opposite. Japan's power is as dangerous as it is! I wonder why you can teach me!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had just ended the dual political era of father and son, took over the power of Japan alone for less than a year. It was just when he was ambitious and planned to show his might, he suddenly encountered such a thing! He was also extremely shocked!

The barbarism of the Central Plains people has already experienced a considerable degree of experience in the Icon War of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's era! The two expeditions and two defeats almost destroyed the last elite soldiers left at the peak of the Warring States Period. Hundreds of thousands of expeditions and the people on the island lost their lives, and almost every family wore mourning! The Toyotomi family, who was armed with military force, lost all their hearts and collapsed in the subsequent internal chaos. This gave us the opportunity to rise in the Tokugawa family in the future, thus establishing the current Tokugawa shogunate and unifying Japan! Now that Japan has just recovered from the civil war for a few years, is it necessary to face this enemy that has almost been fighting for all its strength? Fear! It began to spread everywhere in Kazura's heart!

He was thinking here, and the ministers on both sides had already started arguing!

"Bag! It's so rude. I don't take the dignified general seriously! Are they going to conquer Japan? Let's teach them what the Japanese honor is with the blood of the warriors!"

"Nonsense! How can national affairs be decided by the courage of a momentary blood? You and I shoulder the fate of tens of millions of Japanese people in the dawn. We must never act voluntarily. This matter needs to be discussed for a long time!"

"From the long-term plan? From the long-term plan! The enemy has already come to the door, how to make a decision! The Ming people insist on fighting on the small matter on Ryukyu Island. I think the enemy is not good at coming this time. I must fight to the death!"

The shogunate ministers who suddenly received the declaration of war from Ming Dynasty were like a joke at first sight. How could it be? The Japanese only invaded a few remote small countries, such as the Ryukyu Island of this era, which was a typical wilderness and barbaric land, and were said to be a strategic place, but in fact, there was no one to visit except maritime pirates. The Ming Dynasty actually wanted to stand up for Ryukyu and dispatched a large army of such a size without any warning. This is not a joke, and what is it?

But when the news was confirmed to be true, the ministers suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue. Is the Ming Kingdom really going to attack Japan? It is said that war has begun everywhere on the sea. The Ming Kingdom's warships have begun to block the harbors of the coastal territory. I saw the real sign! At this point, the shogunate ministers realized the seriousness of the problem. A man who was as handsome as a man in the past began to become hysterical! All kinds of extreme emotions have emerged!

"Hi! You can't blame the anger of the Ming Kingdom! It's all the gang of thieves from the Shimazu family who are taking their own initiative. What should we do to conquer Ryukyu? It was obviously a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it was just around the corner from the Ming Dynasty. How could it not attract the attention of that giant! Now it is finally Japan's great enemy! Do you have to bear the blame for their mistakes? I want me to tell the general that the Shimazu family members should directly tell the group of people and let them go directly to Edo to have a caesarean section and apologize! I'll send the heads to the Emperor of the Ming army!"

"What? Baguyalu! You are completely treasoning! Even if the Shimazu family is wrong, it is also the external daimyo of our big Japan! How to deal with it is our internal affairs. General, you can have the territorial territories to strip him of his official title, or even directly attack him, but we will never allow the enemy to threaten us on our territory! This is absolutely impossible! You must not make any compromises!"

"It's absolutely impossible. It's light. According to your words, would you say this to the generals of the Ming army? Do you think they will listen? Mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of warships, and just the harassment war in the preface has destroyed all the naval armies of several Daming families - the scale is so large that it is more than the Ming team during the Renchen War. I really don't know how we can stand it! Young people, when your life experience is rich enough, you will know that it is not embarrassing to surrender to the strong!"

"What! Submit! You old traitor! You are timid before the war begins! You dare to walk on the hall before the war begins! Your courage has been scared away in the war that year! You are not worthy of being a warrior, nor is it worthy of being the minister of the General! I think you should be the one who committed suicide by cesarean section and apologized to His Highness General!"

"What? Bah!" The old minister was suddenly furious after hearing this, and stood up and sprayed a mouthful of thick phlegm! He almost sprayed on the face of the person who was scolding! Then he stood up shakingly, pulled out his flank and pointed at his chest: "Is that so? I am a coward? I am a general with the bloody battle of his first and second generation generals in the war! It's not a sick man like you who doesn't know the military affairs and only knows the slander!

War! War! You know how to fight! Do you know what fighting such a war means to our great Japan now? It means destruction of the country! You stupid! Even if you barely save the country's fortune, the shogunate will no longer exist. Japan may fall into the chaotic world of war in the past! Everything that our generations have worked hard for will disappear completely, and all of Japan will become ruins! Just like the Warring States Period back then! Is this kind of Japan what you want? I absolutely do not allow it!" Tadakazu Sakai, who is currently the senior official of the shogunate, burst into tears and shouted at everyone in tears!

Then he turned over and bowed to Jiaguang:

"Please believe me, General. As your chief family, I am expressing my loyalty to you and Japan! Those who have never seen such a war to destroy cities and countries are not qualified to talk about this! Believe me!" The old man crawled towards the feet of the General.

"I am willing to go to the General Ming to negotiate in person! I will definitely live up to my mission! I will not lose the honor of Japan and His Highness!"
Chapter completed!
