Of course, the real purpose of these daimyos is not to ask China to send troops to help them deal with the Tokugawa shogunate. They just hope to use China's reputation to suppress the Tokugawa shogunate, so that the Tokugawa shogunate dare not do anything to themselves easily. The Bijing alliance has just been formed, and it is still There is no ability to have a comprehensive showdown with the Tokugawa Shogunate, and there are still many conflicts between the several daimyos. Some daimyos are completely speculative and their claims are not completely unified, so they have gained enough coordination for themselves and developed. time.
After all, everyone knows that it is best to resolve the internal conflicts in Japan within Japan. Once foreign aid is asked for help, the nature will change and become colluding with foreign enemies. Invading Japan will become Japanese traitors, which will inevitably make oneself Japan's domestic prestige has plummeted, and it is easy to invite gods to send gods. With China's aggressive external momentum in recent years, once China really invites China, it is probably not easy to play. Maybe it will be the same as the Qing court. On the grounds of sending troops to help the war, Japan was swallowed up in one bite, so it is never allowed to invite China to send troops until it is absolutely possible.
After the formation of the Shogun Alliance, two factions were divided into two factions within the Tokugawa Shogunate, and fierce debates started.
Headed by Tokugawa Iemitsu's younger brother, Masaoyuki, and the eldest son Tadaoka Sakai, is a hardliner. He advocates severe punishment for these daimyos who dissatisfied the shogunate. He should send troops to conquer. It is best to destroy several daimyos and show the shogunate to the entire Japan. The majesty of this phenomenon cannot be violated. Only in this way can this phenomenon be stopped and continued to develop, resolve the internal contradictions in Japan, and fight against China's invasion with all its might.
However, another group of ministers led by the old school, Matsuhira Nobutsu and Tadaki Abe, were compromisers. They believed that the Tokugawa Shogunate's vitality was severely damaged and its prestige plummeted. They did not have the absolute strength to deal with these daimyos who were dissatisfied with the shogunate. Therefore, At this time, it is not advisable to send troops, not to mention that Daming has not blatantly raising the flag to rebel, which means that they are still concerned about the shogunate. If they send troops rashly, if they cannot win, they will inevitably further attack the shogunate's prestige, even if they can win. If these daimyos really lead the Chinese army to Japan, there is no confidence in the Tokugawa shogunate.
The two factions held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other and had a very strong quarrel. But at this time, the Dutch also came to join in the fun, actively lobbying the Tokugawa shogunate, forming an alliance with the Netherlands, and jointly fighting against China.
Because the Netherlands and China are now in a terrible relationship, they know that they are powerful dragons and cannot defeat local snakes, so they are eager to pull some partners to join forces to deal with China. Looking at the entire Asian region, among the outsiders, the Spaniards have long been destroyed by China. Portugal also guarded Macau with peace of mind, and did not want to enter. Britain was even more fighting with China. The local residents of Asia, North Korea has been subdued by China. The indigenous tribes in Java have limited strength and can join forces with the Netherlands. Only Japan is the only one. Although Japan is average in strength, mosquitoes are also meat, and having allies is better than not.
The Dutch's intervention also made the debate within the Tokugawa shogunate even more intense. The hardliners believed that it was just enough to use the power of the Netherlands to fight against China, because the Netherlands had firearms and warships, which could make up for Japan's shortcomings, but the compromise faction was the only one who could make up for Japan's shortcomings, but the compromise faction It is believed that the Netherlands has limited strength and is unreliable. Once the fight against China fails, the Dutch can pat its butt and go back to Europe, but the unlucky one is Japan, so it cannot form an alliance with the Netherlands.
In the end, Tokugawa Iemitsu himself lacks confidence, so he dares not launch a war against the Overlord Alliance. He adopts a compromise method and temporarily adopts a forbearance towards the Overlord Alliance. He will wait until the Shogunate regains its vitality, but it is better to form an alliance with the Netherlands. , they can buy musket warships from the Netherlands to strengthen the shogunate's power, so Tokugawa Iemitsu also adopted a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, they temporarily ignored the anti-shog alliance, and focused on preparing for war and manufacturing muskets.
The Anti-State Alliance also did not dare to be careless, and was desperately expanding its military training and preparing for battle. The domestic situation in Japan was also divided into two major groups, holding on to each other.
However, the side of the Shogun Alliance is still in a disadvantageous situation, because the backlash is a minority after all, and most of the Daming people still support the Tokugawa Shogunate. In terms of land, people and material resources, the Shogunate still has a great advantage, although the side of the Shogun Alliance has trade It is profitable, but after all, the time is too short and it is not enough to change the power contrast with the shogunate. Therefore, we can only hope to raise the tiger skin of China to open the banner, and we all hope to further strengthen our ties with China.
Yu Zhong of Toyotomi became a joint force between the Anti-State Alliance and China. From this, he learned that Shang Yi had promised that Natoshi Kaoru would enter the palace to become a concubine, and he also furthered Yu Zhong of Toyotomi's Pay attention.
But just last year, the Shogunate and the Shogunate Alliance had an accident. The Shogunate General Tokugawa Ieki and the general leader of the Shogunate Alliance both died. The Tokugawa Ieki, who inherited the Shogunate General, was only a twelve-year-old Tokugawa Ieki, who inherited the Shogunate General, was only a 12-year-old Tokugawa Ieki. A year old child, and the new lord of the Changshu vassal Mahari Tsuna Hiroya was only thirteen years old. The leaders of both sides were underage children, which also brought subtle changes to the situation in Japan.
After listening to Toyotomi Kaoru's speech, Shang Yi fell into deep thought. The changes in the situation in Japan are obviously beneficial to the shogunate, because the shogunate is a relatively unified group force, although Tokugawa Ietsunobu is the fourth generation. The general of the Tokugawa Shogunate, but it has only been fifty years since its establishment, and it is still in the end of its founding era. After the efforts of the first three generations, the shogunate's rule in Japan has indeed been very stable. In addition, the current situation is in crisis, and it is even more united. Therefore, as long as the ministers who are assisting in the government work together, the current political situation in Japan can be maintained.
The Shogun Alliance was originally a mess. Now that the leader has passed away, Tsunahiro Mori will definitely not be able to bear this important task, so it will be reduced and the other will rise. If no other forces interfere, the Shogun Government is likely to launch an attack on the Shogun Alliance immediately and buy from the Netherlands. Muskets and cannons are an obvious signal, and of course they do not rule out the possibility of using political means to reconquer the reverse alliance.
For China, it is of course more beneficial to let the shogunate and the Shogunate Alliance continue to be in opposition. Once the shogunate Alliance defeats the Shogunate Alliance and stabilize the situation in Japan again, it is definitely not a good thing for China. Moreover, Japan now has an alliance with the Netherlands, maybe in China. Under this powerful external pressure, Japan's national consciousness has intensified, opened the sea and the ocean two hundred years ahead of schedule, and embarked on the modern path.
This is not impossible, because in another time and space, Japan mainly embarked on the modern path because it was under pressure from Western powers. Although Japan has no time travelers, the Japanese are a nation that is very good at learning. It is possible that everything Shang Yi did in China will be copied to Japan intact.
In addition, Japan has formed an alliance with the Netherlands, and there is an invisible object of learning and comparison. In addition, Japan is an island country and is naturally much more sensitive to the ocean than China. In this regard, the Netherlands also It can provide a lot of help to Japan. Although the Japan-Dutch alliance is not enough to affect China's hegemony in this region, it can cause a lot of trouble to China and want to turn the South China Sea into China's inland sea. , but it is not so easy, so it is best to knock Japan down and expel the Netherlands before it rises, so as to eliminate future troubles.
But this means that China may have to go to war against Japan and the Netherlands at the same time. Of course, with China's national strength, this is not a problem, but how can Congress pass the proposal to launch a war? If it is true, you must think about it carefully. .
When Toyotomi Kaoru saw that Shang Yi was so terrifying, he couldn't help but whisper: "Emperor, Master, what are you thinking."
Shang Yi came to his senses and realized that his hand was in Toyotomi Kaoru's clothes, holding the plump and smooth, proud and delicate breasts. He couldn't help but hold it hard again and smiled: " What's wrong? Can't wait to serve the bed?"
Toyotomi Jung said in a pleasing voice, shyly: "I have already followed the emperor's wishes, but the emperor is still going to make fun of him."
Shang Yi pulled his hand out of her lace, but the other hand still hugged her slender waist and said, "How deep are you in contact with the Changzhou Fan?"
After hearing this, Toyotomi Kaoru couldn't help but wake up suddenly, remembering the real task of entering the palace, and immediately said: "We have contacts with the old, old and Zhifan of the Changzhou vassal family, and the emperor plans to What do we want to do?"
Shang Yi said: "It's time for you to appear now. First of all, you must try your best to convince the Choshu family. Other vassals of the Shogunate should not turn to the shogunate. You should still unite and fight against the shogunate together. Although Mori Hide is dead, it can be Choose a new leader, and you can also officially join the Anti-State Alliance."
Kaoru Toyotomi said: "We can do it, but if we can speak, we cannot guarantee that the situation in Japan is now unfavorable to the reverse side."
Shang Yi said: "What if you tell them that China supports them to fall back."
Toyotomi Kaori's eyes lit up and he said, "If this is the case, I will be 70% sure to convince them, but what should I use to prove that China supports the fall of the curtain?"
Shang Yi said: "As long as they can raise the flag immediately, I can sell them 10,000 muskets, and guarantee that they are all fired, and there are five hundred cannons, each with fifty flowering bullets, but it must It is true that the flag is brought down."
Toyotomi Kaoru also took a breath. Of course, she knew that ten thousand muskets and three hundred cannons were at most one division's firearm configuration, but it was an important force in Japan because she was defeated repeatedly. After China, all the major names in Japan began to pay attention to the manufacturing and use of firearms, but Japan's manufacturing technology was still very backward and could only make old-fashioned mesh guns. Compared with the Chinese army's firearms, it is of course far behind. Therefore, these firearms are definitely attractive to Daming, who can change the strength comparison between the two sides, so they immediately said: "Don't worry, my elders, I am now 90% sure."
Shang Yi nodded and said, "It's great, but there is one more thing you have to do." As he said that, he leaned into Toyotomi Kaoru's ear and said a few words in a low voice.
After hearing this, Toyotomi Kaoru immediately said, "Don't worry, yourselves, we will definitely be able to do this for the emperor."
Shang Yi was relieved, and his other hand immediately copied the bend of Toyotomi Kaoru's leg, picked her up horizontally, and said, "Okay, now the matter is over. Shouldn't it be our private matter? "As he said, he stood up and walked towards the inner hall dormitory.
Toyotomi Kaoru felt his heart beat faster again, but he had no intention of resisting. Instead, he stretched out his hands, hooked Shang Yi's neck, and whispered: "I am the only one who is the only one who is the one who is willing to do so."
