164. Embarrassing situation

The sun has completely risen! The sun on the sea in winter shines on people's body and hearts.

Looking at the wreckage of warships gradually moving away from the sea but burning violently, I couldn't tell what it felt. The people on this boat may have never met me. We have no grievances in the future and no grudges in the near future, but we have become life-and-death enemies at this moment. To put it bluntly, it's still for power and desire.

However, since you dare to chase and take action, you should bear such a result. Isn’t it?

As I got farther and farther away, I asked someone to bring a bottle of plum wine from the cabin - this is my new favorite recently. I raised the bottle, pulled out the bottle plug with a "dong", and took a few sips to the burning warship. In this situation, only fine wine is the best companion!

I breathed out from the bottom of my heart. Although this trip to the Ming Dynasty solved the problem - a perfect solution, I was very unhappy. If I had known this... I would have gone back. After all, I have my own obligations. As for how others choose, it is someone else's business.

It was the afternoon of the third day when I arrived in Kagoshima. After I sent a trip to Hong Kong, I went straight to the newly established chamber of commerce stronghold.

With the strong support of the Shimazu family, our chamber of commerce base was built very quickly. The building area of ​​the base store alone was about 10,000 square meters. The whole body was made of a whole piece of solid cypress. The first floor was about three meters and five meters high, and the second floor was about three meters high, and there was also an observation platform on it.

From the perspective of Japan, this stronghold can almost be regarded as a small "city", and from the perspective of defensiveness, it is very strong!

There are six terminals in the port, three of which we have the right to use at any time, and are also the most advanced and have the best facilities. It seems that Shimazu Yoshihisa does attach great importance to cooperation with us.

In general, I am very satisfied with the progress of the construction of the Chamber of Commerce. It seems that it is necessary to visit the Shimazu family's person-Yihi Shimazu and his brothers.

This time when I came back from the Ming Dynasty, I brought a lot of specialties, especially wine. The wine in Japan is low and it tastes boring, so I packed almost a boat of bamboo leaves, burned knives, and brought more than a dozen jars of stuffed donkeys! I just wanted to see how these generals who were so terrible all day long could not find the east, south, west and north!

When we arrived at the city, someone went to report it. The door was closed and we quickly opened. We obtained permission to enter the city. We drove the car past Kotenmo and arrived at Ichinomaru. There was someone waiting for us there. I looked up and saw that it was Shimazu Suzu.

"Hahahaha! Kiran, are you back so soon?" Shimazu Yuki shouted enthusiastically.

"That's right! The matter is not big, and even if it's solved, wouldn't you come back to have a drink?" I also smiled and shouted: "I also brought good wine from the Ming Dynasty, and today I will let you have a good time!"

Shimazu Suiku is a hero in the wine industry. As mentioned earlier, at a big banquet, he not only drinks himself, but also calls others to drink, but also blocks the wine for his brothers. He drinks it from beginning to end every time! So when he heard the word "Wine", his eyes suddenly shone: "Qi Lan! You know me the best! Let me see what wine you brought?"

I couldn't help but have a funny thought - I turned around and screamed, and then took it out of the cabin by Masato Niugui, and handed it to Shimazu Shoukuku, laughing: "Try this! People in the Ming Dynasty love to drink this!"

Shimazu Suiku was impatient when he saw the wine. He slapped the mud seal open and placed it in front of his nose. He smelled it deeply. He was immediately conquered by the deep alcohol concentration of the stuffed donkey! He raised a long "ah" to the sky, looked at me and laughed: "This wine is so strong! Qi Lan, how many have you brought?"

I looked at him with a smile and hummed, "How many have you brought? You can drink and talk about it first!"

Shimazu Sui was dissatisfied with her, so she picked up the jar and let out a sip! After a gulp, he looked up at the sky again and shouted, "It's so hot! It's like a burning fire!"

The person next to him saw Shimazu Suiku staggering, and was shocked! He quickly came over to take the jar, and someone helped him stand firmly. The little surname holding the jar lowered his head and smelled it, and immediately blushed and covered his face!

I pointed at Shimazu Suiku and laughed: "How come this stuffy donkey drink like this? Is it fun?"

Shimazu Suiki shook her head with her eyes narrowed and was about to speak, but she heard a voice behind her, "What good wine? Is Suiki so blew?"

But it was a strange voice. When I looked up, it was a tall general. Shimazu Yuki looked back and laughed: "Second brother, you can taste this wine, it's quite satisfying!"

The second brother? Among the four Shimazu brothers, the eldest brother is Shimazu Yoshihiro, the third brother is Shimazu Yoshihiro, the fourth brother is Shimazu Yoshihiro, and the second brother is the number one brave general of Kyushu Island and the gun master Shimazu Yoshihiro!

Shimazu Yoshihiro was over 1.75 meters tall, which was already a giant in the Japan Warring States Period, with an average height of about 1.4 meters. He was wearing a kimono with a black background and a samurai bun commonly used by samurai. He had some similarities between his eyebrows and eyes, but his edges were more distinct, especially his high nose bridge, which showed his heroic and unruly personality.

When I walked up to him, Shimazu Yuki was very happy to see the wine, but he still did not forget to introduce it to us. Shimazu Yoshihiro obviously knew it was me, so he gave me a samurai ceremony. But I returned the ceremony according to the rituals of the generals of the Ming Dynasty - this is also based on the identities of both parties, which is completely reasonable.

After each of them met, Shimazu Yoshihiro called us to walk in. Soon, he arrived at Ninomaru's main hall. Shimazu Yoshihiro was waiting for us in the main hall. When he saw me coming, he bowed and smiled slightly, "Kei Lan is like a gust of wind. He goes quickly and comes quickly!"

I also smiled and said, "That's not as unmoved as a mountain, Brother Yijiu! He really is sitting firmly on Diaoyutai!"

Shimazu Yoshihisa's eyes lit up and said, "Ki Lan is really a military expert, and his words are the art of war! It's admirable!"

He said this was not casually said, but what I said was not moving as a mountain, but was taken from "The Art of War: Military Competition" - "Therefore, it was as fast as the wind, its sprint was as slow as the forest, its storm was as fire as the fire, and its storm was as motionless as the mountain." In general, it can be summarized as the four-character mantra of "Wind Forest Volcano", which refers to the four basic forms of marching and fighting.

It is rumored that during the Warring States Period, the "Tiger of Jiafei" who had died of illness at this time was known as the "No. 1 General of the Warring States Period" and also known as the "No. 1 Military Artist of the Warring States Period", Takeda Shingen, who was known as the "No. 1 Military Artist of the Warring States Period", founded the so-called "Wind Forest Volcano" tactic after in-depth study of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Relying on this tactic, Takeda Shingen was a stubborn and did not lose the upper hand in the fight against heroes such as Uesugi Kenshin, Oda Nobunaga, and Hojo Kazuyashi! Therefore, these military tactics are very popular in Japan, let alone the wise Shimazu Yoshihisa!

I knelt down on the tatami opposite him, performed the etiquette of the guest to the host towards him, and then smiled and said, "If we continue to praise each other like this, we don't need to say anything else!"

Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Yuki who were sitting on both sides also laughed together. Shimazu Yuki pointed to the jar held by Xiao's surname behind him and said, "Elder brother, second brother, Qi Lan brought good wine from the Ming Dynasty! I tasted it, it was very intense! It was definitely good wine!"

Shimazu Yoshihisa said oh, and smiled, "Is that so? You have to try it well in the future! Now it's time to talk about the main business."

When I heard what he said, I nodded slightly and said seriously: "That's what it should be! I wonder if there is something big going on during the period when I left Japan?"

Shimazu Yoshihiro sighed and looked at me calmly and said, "Qi Lan, although I understand your determination to check and balance the world, I have to say that Shibata Katsuki is really not the material for competing for the world!"

Hearing this sentence, I couldn't help but feel a little "splied"! With Shimazu Yoshihisa's wisdom, he would never say such heavy words casually, so I adjusted my sitting posture to make myself more comfortable. Fang asked in a deep voice: "What's the case? Brother Yoshihisa might as well say it!"

Shimazu Yoshihisa sighed again and said sadly: "Ki Lan, your previous actions have deeply restrained the energy of Hideyoshi Hashi. Whether it is the reconstruction of the Kumano navy or the harassment along the southern coast, it has made Hideyoshi Hashi. In addition, your various support for Katsuya Shibata openly and secretly, the situation is actually tilting towards Katsuya Shibata!"

I nodded and said, "That's what it should be! But did any other accidents happen?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa stared at me and said, "Oda Nobuo suddenly died...I don't know if this matter is related to Kiran, but I believe it will never have nothing to do with it - of course this is not the point. After he died, the only direct lines of the Oda family were Oda Nobuo and Master Oda San."

I nodded again and said, "Before I left, I had already told Shibata Katsuya very clearly that I will solve Oda Nobuo's problem, but the other two must need his good protection! Brother Yoshihisa, you are so serious, you won't be..."

A hint of panic suddenly arose in my heart. It wouldn't be that bad, right? Shibata Katsuya is not a fool after all, right?

But Shimazu Yoshihisa's words dispelled my last fantasy. His voice was not loud, but I felt that my ears were so shocked: "Kei Lan, just the third day after you left, Oda Nobuta suddenly sent a letter to Shibata Katsuya and Hashiba Hideyoshi, saying that the third master was critically ill. By the time the letter was delivered, it was said that the third master had died of illness!"

I suddenly felt a sense of nameless fire rising, and gritted my teeth and said, "This damn bastard actually killed his nephew for the position of the governor of the family! Don't he understand that the Oda family is in a desperate situation. No matter who is in charge of the governor of the family, he cannot get rid of the control of the Hanshi Hideyoshi and the Katsuki Shibata?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa looked at me and said, "If Nobuka was half as smart as Qi Lan, he would never have done such a stupid thing! But this is not the end!"

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "What bad news is there? Let me tell you together! I can stand it!"

Shimazu Yoshihisa also smiled bitterly: "Oda Nobuta's letter reached Shibata Katsuya and Hashiba Hideyoshi, but it had completely different effects."

I looked at the tent and said softly, "Let me guess! Shibada Katsuya is so proud of his face. He will definitely reply to the book and scold him, but there is no explanation. Hashiba Hideyoshi acted recklessly. Did he attack Fuqi Castle in surprise? Is Oda Nobuko dead?"

"No!" Shimazu Yoshihisa's voice was like an ice cave: "It's worse than death - he surrendered to Hideyoshi Hashi, and officially fell into the control of the Hashiba family!"

"Huh!" I closed my eyes and let out a long breath, but I didn't know how to continue. I spent so much energy to solve the problem of the heir of the Oda family, but in fact I gave a pair of kings to Shibata Katsuya! As a result, this stupid maniac forced me to break up the order! What should I do? It's really a mess that can't be supported on the wall!

After thinking about it, I asked again: "What's going on with Ichiyi Takigawa?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa smiled and said, "This is probably the only good thing - when Hashiba Hideyoshi attacked Nobuta Oda, Ichie Takigawa suddenly sent troops to attack Ise and opened up the territory connection point with Shibata Katsuya! They finally no longer echoed each other, but were truly fighting together!"

"Oh"! I let out a long breath again, but this time it was completely different from the last time. I felt much more relaxed. This was also a loss of the east corner, a harvest of the sun, a loss of a dog and a chicken. It was better than not!

Shimazu Yoshihisa looked at my reaction and suddenly laughed: "But, I am not worried that Shibata Katsuya will lose!"

I asked in confusion: "Why?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa smiled and said, "Because of Qi Lan, you are!"

I laughed: "My power is too weak!"

But Shimazu Yoshihisa said decisively: "No! You don't have to underestimate yourself! Believe in my eyes, Qi Lan, you will definitely change history!"
