Chapter 396: The disaster in the Satsuma family...

The Kagoshima Castle in the southwest of Kyushu Island was the place where the Shimazu family, the sixth generation of the Shimazu family, moved Kagoshima City that he saw from Takayama to Tofukuji Castle. At that time, the Shimazu family was the second largest vassal lord of Guchiki of 778,000 stones. It was the land of the three kingdoms of Satsuma, Osumi and Hinata, because Kagoshima Castle can be regarded as the political center of Mian Kyushu.

"Damn it, one country order. If it weren't for this annoying one country order, how could the Shimazu family's residence be easily invaded by foreign enemies?" Shimazu Shigehao, who was nearly fifty years old and looked very short but still very strong among the surrounding people, angrily slapped the walls of Kagoshima Castle.

Around him, the city was filled with the gathered Satsuma soldiers, and a large number of feet ran towards his defensive posts with the call of the samurai. Although he had received news a few days ago that Shimazu family, the eighth-generation family of Shimazu family, Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu. He immediately ordered the whole country to transfer troops to cage the city, which means to fight to defend the city.

"Lord, the three thousand people from Osumi Country have arrived, please make an announcement." At this time, a samurai warrior rushed over and arrived at Shimazu Shigeo and others and then turned over and dismounted.

"Three thousand... There are nearly seven thousand feet in the city, which is enough. In this way, let one thousand people enter the city and draw two thousand elite troops out of the city to join Osumi country's football team. It is impossible for our Shimazu family to even dare to fight in the field." Shimazu Shigeo stroked the short beard under his chin and issued a new order.

"My father, is this not very safe? After all, my sister said that those Qing people had many large tubes and were very powerful. Although my descendants of the Satsuma clan were the elite of the entire army,..." Next to him, a contemporary vassal lord Shimazu Kiyoro, who was silent, gritted his teeth and made a suggestion to his very strong father.

"What, Otsuki? Fujishiro, have you never seen Otsuki?" Shimazu Shigeo glanced at his son with some dissatisfaction. This weak and delicate son made him feel dissatisfied no matter how he looked at it. If it weren't for the important officials who thought Qi Xuan was a good family governor and he could not choose a better candidate, Shimazu Shigeo would not be willing to pass it to him at all, and would rather pass it to his grandson Qixing.

Although Qi Xing was only four years old, he was able to bully his younger brother and sister with a stick all day long, spitting at people he didn't like, and making Shimazu Shigeho feel that the little guy is quite warrior. The Shimazu family's governor should be a strong man, not like his warm son.

Shimazu Shigeho's daughter Shigeho is Toyochiyo, the wife of Tokugawa's eleventh-generation shogun Tokugawa's wife, and now the Otaku, is also Shimazu Shigeho's sister. It is precisely because of this daughter being by the Tokugawa General that when the Qing people mentioned that they wanted to claim compensation for Qiuqiu, Shimazu Shigeho sent the news to their brother and father as quickly as possible, hoping that they would prepare as soon as possible.

Because the attitude of the general Tokugawa Ichiki seems to be more inclined to let the Satsuma family solve the problem by themselves. After all, 120 million taels of gold, let alone the matter caused by the Satsuma family, even if it was caused by the general's father, the Tokugawa Ichiki could not replace the compensation, because this huge sum of money was not affordable by the shogunate.

After receiving the message from his daughter, Shimazu Shigeo cursed and walked straight up from her seclusion, took the baton from her son's hand, and began to take over the Shimazu family again. After all, the tone of her daughter's letter and the other party's behavior of bombarding Edo made Shigeo understand that the other party had definitely had a bad intention and should not have delusions about peace.

Compared to Shimazu Kiyori, Shimazu Shigeo, who is nicknamed the general of the Takahara because of his too short body, is definitely the most visionary family governor among Shimazu family governors. In June of 1755, Shigeo, who was ten years old, inherited his dead father, and became the family governor.

In the next five years, his living grandfather Jitoyo presided over the vasmama. After Jitoyo's death, he took office in power and was particularly influenced by the Lanxue (a general term for academic, culture and technology introduced from the Netherlands during the Edo period). He successively established vassal schools (Sashi Pavilion, Martial Arts Pavilion) to cultivate two types of talents; founded the Mingshi Pavilion, which is equivalent to today's planetarium, to conduct academic and astronomy research; established a medical school, Satoyao Garden;

Establishing a scholarship not only faces the samurai class, but also provides education opportunities for the people and towns. He admires orchids so much that he is called the "Ranyan" daimyo. In his eyes, the traditional customs of Satsuma are no longer in line with the current world and are incompatible with the trends of the times. It is especially necessary to follow the trends and accept the customs of other countries, and absorb the customs of other countries that are higher than ours. We must obey the trends and absorb the changes in the customs of other countries, especially the trends in the capital.

However, in 1787, in order to bring his son-in-law Tokiyo, the Tokugawa family, to the position of general in the future, Shimazu Shigeo, together with Najiji, to force the young man Tae-Da Ayō-Da, who had a reputation, to the door of the Shirakawa Matsuhei family. In this way, all the possibility of Tae-Da Ayō-Da Ayō-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-Dae-

After Tokugawa's family became a general, he secretly fought with the powerful shogunate chief, Zhong Lao, and Shimazu Shigeo, who won the final victory, immediately announced his retirement and gave up his position to his son.

That is, before Matsupei Dingxin took over, he first gave the position of the vassal lord to his son Qi Xuan, and then supervised the country in the name of "Government Affairs Suspicion". Although he was "Government Affairs Suspicion", he still had great power and did not give up. However, Qi Xuan, who became the vassal lord, became a doll controlled by Chonghao. This position of government affairs Suspicion has always allowed Chonghao to hold his position until the day of his death.

Hearing his father's question, Shimazu Kiyori rolled his eyes in a hidden way, but the expression on his face was still respectful. "Of course I know, my father."

"Look at these big tubes by yourself. My Shimazu family has fought countless wars. Have you encountered few big tubes and battles? The outcome of the war cannot be solved by just a few big tubes and a few iron cannons. Otherwise, why are the soldiers of my Shimazu family equipped with iron cannons? The war depends on the bravery and tenacity of the samurai. Otherwise, how can my Shimazu family stand firm until now? I must keep it in mind." Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu raised his old face and scolded him again. The important officials around them all rolled their eyes, but no one could do anything about this Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu who claimed to retire, but in fact he was still the supreme emperor of the Shimazu family.

"Come on, lord, I found a fleet entering Kagoshima Bay. Those warships were really tall, very, very tall." A sensual general rushed over to report to Shimazu Shigeo, who was scolding his son. However, perhaps because of the frightened by the huge warships, his report seemed a little messy.

"Haga! No matter how tall, is it that I am tall in Kagoshima Castle? You bastard... my Amaterasu..." Shimazu Shigeo kicked this idiot's general several times in anger, but found that everyone around him seemed to have seen Mars hitting the earth, with a dull expression, frightened eyes and a pale face.

Shimazu Shigeo immediately followed their eyes and looked up. When he saw the masts that seemed to pierce into the sky rose from the sea, when the red and black warships, like fortresses, appeared in his sight, Shimazu Shigeo's original thoughts were torn to pieces. He originally thought that his daughter was too exaggerating, but now it seemed that it seemed even more exaggerated than the warships described by his daughter.

"My God, such a warship, I have an unknown premonition. This fleet will bring terrible disasters to the Satsuma clan..." A religious warrior subconsciously drew a cross on his chest.

"Don't be afraid of them. Our residence is two miles away from the sea. They can't pose a threat to us at all, unless their warships have feet and will go ashore on their own." Shimazu Shigeo loudly encouraged his subordinates' morale. "Don't forget the spirit of our Satsuma Samurai."

Soon, a large number of troops from the Shimazu family drove out of the city and lined up against the coast outside the city. The large tubes, i.e. artillery purchased from the Dutch people on the simple fortress on the shore, also entered the preparation for firing.

However, what is different about the tense atmosphere in Kagoshima Castle is that Liang Pengfei is currently discussing with his subordinates how to fight to hurt the Satsuma family, and it is best to make them surrender, because what Liang Pengfei needs is to be as complete as possible in Kyushu Island, not just a broken island covered with ruins.

"I thought it would be best for these people to see what absolute strong force is, so that they cannot raise the slightest resistance. Therefore, my subordinates believe that they should directly attack their city, and it is best for all warships to participate in the battle." The warlike Wu Qianjin's words were very short, but also very convincing.

"But if all our warships fire together, what do you think there is still something left here?" Shi Xianggu shook his head and rejected Wu Qianjin's proposal. "I think it's enough to just dispatch three warships." Shi Xianggu's hand gently slapped the side of the Red Shark's tail tower's command platform, and placed his eyes on Liang Pengfei's face.

Liang Pengfei, who was observing Kagoshima Castle, put down the telescope in his hand and turned his face to show Shi Xiangu's healthy and white teeth. "You are the navy commander, you can discuss it, don't ask me."
