Chapter 473 The Shimadzu Family
"Emergency military information, get out of the way..."
In the Daming Mansion of Satsuma, a samurai warrior holding military intelligence was shouting and rushing to the road. All the servants on the way quickly avoided, fearing that they would be cut off by a knife because they blocked the visitor.
Soon, under the guidance of the guards on duty in the mansion, the samurai came to the door of Shimazu Kefeng's house, who was truly in charge of real power, and knelt on both knees and handed over the military information and said, "Report to the lord, this is an emergency military information from Ryukyu. Please check it out."
At this time, Shimazu Jitotsu, who was half sitting on the soft and thick mattress, signaled his son Shimazu Takashi, who was kneeling beside him, to take the military information and check it.
Since the year before yesterday, Shimazu Jifeng's health has been deteriorating. After a minor illness at the beginning of this year, Shimazu Jifeng gradually felt that he was about to lose his life. Now he can only start to slowly delegate power to his new head of the family, Shimazu Shigeo.
However, Shimazu Shigeo was only sixteen years old after all, and he was too young. He would be unstable if he hadn't experienced many things. But he knew that he had not had much time and could not do anything.
Now he is more likely to hope that his son can assist Shimazu Shigeo, after all, he is Shimazu Shigeo's grandfather①.
The number of words on military information is not too many, but the expression on Shimazu Takashi's face is not solemn.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Shimazu Takashi's silent and frowning, Shimazu Jito couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Nowadays, when new and old powers are new, everything is mainly stable. Shimazu Shimazu Jito naturally doesn't want to see any unexpected happenings.
At this moment, Shimazu Shigeo, who was kneeling on the other side, also looked at his uncle and grandfather Shimazu Takashi, with his expression revealing that he was very curious about the letter.
The matter said in the letter is very serious.
Looking at his seriously ill father, Takashimazu didn't want to say it out, so as not to worsen his condition. However, if you want to hide such a big thing, you will definitely not be able to hide it.
So, Shimazu Takashi could only bite the bullet and said: "My father, there is news from Ryukyu that the rebels of the Tartar Kingdom established a new Central Plains dynasty, and the name is called 'Yin'."
Upon hearing this, Shimazu Jifeng was stunned for a while and seemed to remember something happened. Then he slowly said, "I remember it was only last year that there were rebels on the Tartars. I didn't care much at that time, and I thought they had been wiped out by the Tartars like other rebels. I didn't pay much attention, and I didn't expect that they were still standing up."
"Then what happened when you frowned?" Shimazu Jitoshi asked as if he had come to his senses.
"My father, when Shang Mu heard about this, he sent an envoy to the court to hand over the national clerk, and..."
When he heard Shimazu Takashi talk about this, Shimazu Jifeng couldn't help but tease him and said, "A country that had just been formed by a rebel, Shangmu is so impatient. It seems that Shangmu is not only a coward, but also has no brains at all. It seems that we can feel at ease with this person as a puppet in Ryukyu."
"However, Ryukyu's loyalty to the Central Plains dynasty is indeed enviable. By the way, what else do you want to say just now."
After laughing, Shimazu Jitoshi, who had reminisced about it, asked again.
Seeing his father's rare happiness, Shimazu Takashi really didn't want to talk about it anymore, but Shimazu Jifeng had already asked questions, so he could only continue to talk about it because this matter would definitely not be hidden.
"In addition to sending people to hand over the letter of state, Shangmu also asked them to send troops to attack us." Shimazu Takashi said carefully, observing Shimazu Jifeng's expression.
"Does Shang Mu feel impatient about living?" Hearing this, Shimazu Jifeng, who was originally calm, couldn't help but get angry, but soon calmed down and said without regard:
"Forget it, I don't have to pay attention to this matter. This is not the first time they have done such a thing. Neither the Tartars nor the rebels have time to pay attention to them."
"But just hit Shangmu, otherwise he would think he could really make a big deal. Guizi, let the one below knock Shangmu in a while and let him realize the reality."
I saw Shimazu Jifeng's words that it seemed that the entire Ryukyu Kingdom was just a small ryu ball at his mercy.
"But..." Faced with Shimazu Jitotsu's order, Shimazu Kiyoshi looked like he was reluctant to speak.
And at this time, I heard a warrior asking for a message.
After receiving the response from Shimazu Jito, a samurai warrior dressed in the Edo Tokugawa family emblem, a three-leaf aoi samurai suit came to Shimazu Jito's room with military information. After bowing, he reported: "Report to Shimazu Jito, here are the generals of the Shimazu Jito. This is the letter sent to you by the Shogunate General Seiyi. Please check it out."
"Tibetan, take it for me." Hearing this, Shimazu Jifeng felt a little uneasy. As an external daimyo, if it was just a small matter, the shogunate rarely suddenly sent his own samurai to convey information.
When Shimazu Jito took the letter and opened it, it turned out to be the handwriting of Tokugawa Iezhe.
Although the Tokugawa family weighs only a 1.56-meter old man, he is speechless and often has incontinence and is often ridiculed for incontinence. However, the Tokugawa family's energy is definitely not something that the Shimazu family can afford.
If the Tokugawa family wanted to destroy the Shimazu family at this time, it would be the most easy thing. Maybe they would not have to send troops to Tokugawa, and with just one order, other daimyos would be happy to serve.
In this way, Shimazu Shimoto had to pay even more attention.
The number of letters is still not large. The general idea is to restrain yourself in Ryukyu affairs. You can test the true strength of the Yan Dynasty, but don’t burn the fire to Japan.
Shimazu Jifeng felt a little confused when he saw it, especially when he tested the true strength of the Yan Dynasty. Could it be that he was sending troops to the southern part of China to be pirates? Is this acquiesced to allow himself to act cheaply against the "Locking of the Country"?
"Sir, Father?" Seeing Shimazu Jitomiya staring blankly with the letter, Shimazu Takashi couldn't help but call out a lightly worriedly.
"Oh, Takashi, please find someone to arrange for Lord Fujiwara to go down and rest." Shimazu immediately ordered after returning to his senses.
"Yes, father." Shimazu Takashi replied.
"Master Fujiwara, please go down and rest first. I will reply to the letter later and ask you to take it back to the general." Shimazu Shimoto said respectfully to Fujiwara Knightshang outside the house.
"Okay, I'm working hard." Fujiwara Kanbing couldn't help but smile.
After all, with wine, meat, food, drink, and beauties, the important thing is that there is still money to take. Who would be unhappy?
Note ①: Don’t doubt it, it’s not a fool. Shimazu Shigeo was his father who married his uncle’s children and gave birth to him. However, his mother died of confinement illness after giving birth to him, and was only nineteen years old.
②: At this time, North Korea and Japan claimed that they were little Chinese and looked down on the Qing Dynasty.
