The fuse of the Shimahara Rebellion was that the Tokugawa Shogunate strictly enforced the ban on religion and used stolen to burn the Ya religious believers. One of the signs was the "Haiyama Shinshou Incident".

Taishan Changchen was originally the captain of a red seal ship. Because he was on a Chinese style flat-bottomed boat, he was arrested by a Dutch ship mistakenly considered a Chinese ship on his way back to Japan from Manila.

While searching the Hirayama ship, the Dutch unexpectedly found two Spanish missionaries, and then presented them to the Tokugawa Shogunate as if they were found. After the shogunate interrogation, the Hirayama Toshichen and the two missionaries were all executed, and the remaining twelve crew members were all executed.

From then on, religious persecution expanded to trade restrictions. The Portuguese were first expelled, then the British, and finally, in the first year of Kuanyong (1624 of the Jeremy calendar), Spanish ships were strictly prohibited from sailing. In addition to red seals, Japanese ships must also receive "Lao Zhong's letter" before they can go to sea. Japanese people living abroad were also strictly prohibited from returning to their country, and they were executed upon returning to their country.

Under such a blow, the Catholic Church was quickly suppressed in Japan.

Until the autumn of the 14th year of Kuanyong (1637th in the Yeli calendar), a great famine occurred in the Shimahara Peninsula and the Amako Islands in the south of Hiroko. However, the lord Matsukura Katsuya still collected annual tributes according to the old rules and brutally executed the peasants who could not pay annual tributes.

As Engels said, religion is spiritual opium and has the effect of relieving pain. Under the oppression of cruel reality, farmers have turned to the Yassan Church to seek spiritual liberation. This violates the biggest taboo of the Tokugawa shogunate - the impact of the divine power on secular power, which triggers a new round of cruel prohibition on religion.

On October 20 of the same year, under the dual pressure of famine and religious persecution, Shimahara Mamura initiated Ikki, killed the Matsukura clan's agent, Euemon, and broke through the arsenal of the vassal weapon. It surrounded the main castle of the Matsukura clan, Shimahara Castle, and set off the Shimahara Rebellion.

"The failure of the Shimahara Rebellion lies in the four words "cage trapped in the city." Yang Wei said: "The shogunate will surely win the battle with ten times the troops. I am afraid that no army except our army can defend the city under such circumstances. Their best strategy is to spread whistle and spread, and use the slogan of "free food and seek survival" to launch a larger range of... Ikki."

Yang Wei originally wanted to use "concession", but finally felt that these people were pitiful, so he chose the Japanese saying "Ikki" and avoided praise and criticism.

"Only by increasing the momentum can we arouse the sympathy and attention of religious daimyos, and finally join forces to implement the downward slogan." Yang Wei said: "As long as we can make the downward slogan, I think there will be many daimyos who are taking advantage of the troubled waters to join."

Soyoshi nodded. If others don’t say it, the Maori family and the Shimazu family will definitely not miss this opportunity. It doesn’t matter what religion they believe in. What’s important is to be enemies of the shogunate. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese who believe in Catholicism. Once the momentum is spread, it is indeed very likely that the "Ikki" shocked the whole country.

"The next step," said Yang Wei, "is to communicate with the Dutch. They promised trade benefits, gain wealth and support from arms. During the Shimahara Rebellion, the role of the Dutch was very important: their artillery bombarded the city of the civilian army and broke through the city walls. The city was eventually destroyed. But they also believed in the religion of Jesus, which shows that they were simply lured by the shogunate small profits."

Zong Yizhen nodded again. She had already looked at this overly young Ming army staff member with a different eye.

"There is no clear understanding of the grand strategy, and no matter how many tactical victory is, it will be destined to fail." Yang Wei said: "The Shimahara Rebellion really broke out. If someone could be sent to contact the Ming Dynasty to intervene before this, the result would definitely be different."

Wei Yun thought to himself: It was the tenth year of Chongzhen, so how could I have no time to manage the Japanese’s idiots?

He glanced at Yang Wei and happened to see Yang Wei looking at him. A slight cunning smell flashed in his eyes.

——Yo, he seemed to understand something.

Wei Yun was a little surprised.

"How can you prove that your strategic idea is correct?" Zong Yizhen asked seriously.

"Well, it's very simple. In a short time, Yizhen Palace will be able to buy "The Record of the Kou Bian" from the Ming Dynasty. Just compare Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's path to starting a business will naturally confirm it." Yang Wei responded lightly, without defending himself at all.

Learning from history can tell the rise and fall. The myths in Japan's history are too much and have too little connotation, so I can only follow China and pick up my wisdom. Such as the three arrows of the Maori family's teachings, which are even more of a nude plagiarism.

Zong Yizhen was stunned by Yang Wei's attitude, and was quite amazed, and couldn't help but exclaim like his father: "How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty like you?"

Yang Wei became wise when he saw it, and kept silent.

"At least 100,000." Wei Yun laughed, changed the subject and said, "Your country relies too much on famous generals. Little did he know that one person had a short plan. Even as handsome as our Chen Junmen, he still needed a hundred and ten staff members to pick up the shortcomings and clarify the context."

Zong Yizhen knew that the "staff officer" of the Ming army was Zhichen who helped to make the decision, but it was several times more than the number of officers leading the troops. Wei Yun was the "bow head" of the staff officer. He was over 20 years old, but he was so familiar with his actions and words that he was eye-catching. And Yang Wei, whom he met for the first time today, looked like he was only in his teens. He could have such experience before he could have been in his Yuanfu. It was really terrible to the Ming Dynasty!

Zong Yizhen even believed the function word "100,000", because he had heard before that the Ming Dynasty had called a million troops to fight against the Mongols in the northwest, and used hundreds of thousands of troops to start the war in Annan. Both directions must be more important than Japan, so more famous generals and talents should be called.

As soon as he thought of this, Zong Yizhen felt a little broken, just like an ant looking up at Mount Fuji.

——No! I also want to set up schools in Ma Ma, cultivate staff, and build an army that is not inferior to the command of famous generals!

A flash of lightning flashed in Zong Yizhen's heart, and he turned to Wei Yun solemnly, and bowed deeply: "Please help me set up a school for training staff in Ma! Please!"

Wei Yun said with a slight head, "Yizhen Palace, don't worry."

Yang Wei stood aside and watched the two "sympathize with each other", and it was difficult to accept the Japanese logic for a while: Why should the Ming Dynasty help you? Can your request be offset by national interests? Do you dare to ask for assistance in this situation? I really don't know how high the world is, right?

After receiving Wei Yun's approval, Zong Yi left the Ming army's garrison with satisfaction.

Wei Yun and Yang Wei sent him outside the door.

Watching Zong Yizhen ride away, Wei Yun turned to Yang Wei and said, "It's very good."

"Hmm?" Yang Wei was a little surprised.

"The General Staff finally sent someone with a brain." Wei Yun raised his lips slightly: "I guess you have thought about how to promote the kingship in Japan, right? Have you prepared a report within ten days, and the topic is the future of Japan."

"Yes." Yang Wei replied.

Wei Yun's feet stuttered slightly: "You don't seem to be excited at all?"

"Uh? Why do you need to be excited?" Yang Wei asked in confusion.

"Your report is likely to determine the fate of this country and the fate of 30 million people in this country."

"Well, maybe it's right." Yang Wei said calmly: "But I'm just completing a job within my salary."

After Yang Wei finished speaking, he saluted and said goodbye.

Ten days seem to be quite short, but it is very nervous for such a big topic. He has read some Japanese literature these days, but it is still early to say how much he knows about Japan. For a country with grammar, it is a big question to understand its essence.

Moreover, for the staff who are used to teamwork, it is very rare to deal with such a big problem. However, this is also a test left by Wei Yun. No matter which step Yang Wei takes, it means that he has been recognized by Wei Yun, but it is just a difference in degree.

Yang Wei did not mind Wei Yun's opinion. According to the Ming military law, he had to accept Wei Yun's leadership without violating his job, but he did not need to win the recognition of the North Korean troops. After all, his organization still belongs to the Army General Staff Headquarters.

What surprised Yang Wei was that Wei Yun gave him ten days, not just waiting for Chen De to return to Tsushima Island, but was still waiting for Mao Shi and Zhao Qiming.

Mao Shi is now responsible for the preparations for the establishment of the North Korean army. It is funny to say that the General Staff has only given the North Korean army a division, but only one battalion of officers. According to this inference, if Chen De really wants to build a division, he must at least apply for the establishment of an army.

Zhao Qiming was Chen De's political counselor, and he gave Chen De's advice on the court and politics, which had a great influence on Chen De. It was under his operation that Chen De's status in North Korea became more and more stable, and there were still people in the court who fought for a general seal for him, but it was quite controversial about whether to establish the General of the East or the General Fubo in the court.

Yang Wei completed his homework as scheduled and presented a thick stack of reports to Wei Yun, but the reply he received was: "Prepare and report to Chen Junmen in person tomorrow."

Being able to make a report is a support in itself.

Yang Wei believes that he is not very utilitarian, but this opportunity does carry Wei Yun's love.

——If you can be promoted to major retirement, your pension will be much higher.

Yang Wei thought to himself.

On the first day of May of the third year of Longjing, Yang Wei stepped into a special combat room deep in the Ming army camp on Tsushima Island.

This war room is so confidential that even the cleaning staff are rotated by the lieutenant sent by the Ming Dynasty, and it is absolutely not by others. In this war room, tincture oil is placed at any time. Once there is any change, it will be set on fire and burned all without leaving any clues for others.

Yang Wei never thought that there was such a place in the camp. He was surprised to see the various Japanese maps hanging on the four walls. It was not until his eyes were attracted by the sand table of the four islands of Japan on the table that he knew that the Ming Dynasty had put a lot of effort into Japan, a small country.
