Ichikura Shigemasa's expression changed. At this time, why did the Mingren suddenly appear here? He intervened. Shouldn't they go to the north?

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that Mingren has been making a fuss about Shimahara, and it seems that it is not surprising that he is here, and it should be expected.

But the sudden appearance of Mingren disrupted his plan, and this was his only chance to save his life!

Boom boom boom boom

At this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, followed by a fire and a rolling smoke, followed by a tremor, as if it was an earthquake.

"Chengchang Palace, what are the Ming people doing?" The retainer of the Kuroda family looked at the direction of the shore and said in a striking and suspicious look.

Hearing the increasing explosion, Shigemasa Itankura heard the ground trembling even more, and the surface was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.

Didn’t you tell you what Mingren is going to do?

Hiromasa Itakura was roaring inside, his eyes full of ruthlessness. In the end, he suppressed his eyes, looking at Hara Castle, which seemed to be close to him and would be flattened at any time, and he was so angry that he was about to go crazy.

Hiromasa Itankura suppressed the fury in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "Xinli Palace, Kushan Palace, you can take people to resist the Ming people on the shore. I will go to see Xingang Palace."

These daimyos had to nod. At this time, they could only listen to Hiromasato Hirosaki of the Ming Dynasty, even if they were surprised and uneasy about the firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

Shigemasa Itankura divided the army into two, while resisting the possible arrival of the Ming Dynasty, while staring at the heiren city from afar.

When Shigemasa Itanakura retreated, Shiro Amakura on the heir city also saw the thick smoke on the shore and the endless sound of cannons.

Hirasaburo stood beside him and said excitedly: "Angel, this is the sound of artillery fire from the Ming Dynasty. They were entrusted by the bishop to save us. This is God's guidance!"

Amakusa Shiro's eyes were straight, his heart was very stable, and he shouted: "Okay! With the help of Akira, we will definitely defeat the evil shogunate, and our God will not abandon us!"

As Amakushiro finished speaking, the entire Hara Castle cheered. In their opinion, the arrival of the Ming Dynasty was the blessing of their God, and they would be safe and would not be attacked by the shogunate again.

Amakusa Shiro watched the shogunate army retreat to a safe distance, then he went downstairs with confidence. Before he had arrived at his room, Heizaburo, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly appeared, pulled Amakusa Shiro into an uninhabited corner, took out a letter, and whispered: "Angel, letter from Satsuma's family, their aid will be docked tonight. I hope we will go to the shore to receive it, they cannot go ashore."

Amakusa Shiro suddenly snatched the letter, which simply listed a list of supported items, including time, location, etc.

Amakusa Shiro's eyes widened and excited, he said patiently: "Okay, look at this, the shogunate will not attack today. While they have not yet siege the city, they will transport the things in quickly. With these weapons, we can better resist Kurashimasa. By the way, what else is there besides weapons?"

Heisharo said, "There will be food next time, and the next time, if our situation worsens, they will send people to support us. But this is a last resort. The Satsuma family cannot break up with the Tokugawa family, otherwise..."

"I know, I know..." Shiro Amakusa said repeatedly. Although the Satsuma clan is the most remote vassal from Edo, if it causes Edo to turn its back on the enemy, it may be another big battle. The Satsuma clan would not want this.

Amana Shiro was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his tender face had a more mature and determined look than ordinary people. He held the letter and was full of confidence and said, "We both know this news. At night, you order people yourself and take them out of the city, and don't tell them the purpose, let's talk about it later."

"Yes!" Heizaburo said. He was very excited. The bishop did not abandon them. As long as they were not blocked at sea, the Ming Dynasty continued to help them. They would have a great chance of defeating the shogunate. There would be no problem in supporting them until the beginning of spring!

In the Hara Castle, Shigemasa Itani was excited to withdraw its troops. When they won again, Shigemasa Itani quickly came to Matsuhira Nobusuo and told him the news.

Matsuhira Nobuzu stood under the eaves, holding his hands, looking at the south from afar, as if he could see the sea.

"I felt the ground trembling and I could hear the sound," Matsuhira Nobuzuo said with his hands in front of him, "Their artillery is very powerful. I heard that there are mountains and earth and seas of fire. This is even more terrifying than what His Highness, the Grandpa of the Cave, saw decades ago..."

As soon as I heard this, Shigemasaki knew that Matsuhira Nobutsu had received the news in advance, which was related to whether he had a caesarean section. He had no intention of recalling the bitterness and sweetness of Matsuhira Nobutsu, and immediately said: "What should we do now? I didn't expect that the Mingren would go south directly. Now the momentum in the Hara Castle has increased greatly, and the Mingren will go ashore at any time..."

Under the Haragata Castle, Shigemasa Itakan has been defeated several times and is well aware of the strength of Haragata. If the more unpredictable Akito will be added, their chances of victory will be shrinking rapidly, and the Shimahara Rebellion will likely be reversed and affecting the entire Kyukuni Island. If the Akito uses Amakusa Shiro to burn the war through the Guanmen Strait and prolong it to his own island, he will not only be a caesarean section, and Matsuhira Nobutsu will not be able to escape!

Matsuhira Nobutsu knew that Hiromasato Hiromasato was afraid of death, so he raised his head slightly and looked at the south with a cold expression. The wooden boards under his feet were trembling more and more violently. He did not move and said lightly, "The sudden appearance of the Ming people was beyond my expectations. The command was to pay close attention to the movements on the sea surface. If there was the movements of the Ming people fleet, we should report it immediately. The command was to temporarily stop the attack on the Yuancheng city, and the major names were on standby and not move randomly. The command was to not make any attacks on the Ming army, and I would like to report to me every move... Also, Chongchang Palace, I would like to invite you to the Ming people's fleet, and we should touch the Ming people's reality."

Ichikura Shigemasaki listened to Matsuhira Nobuzu's series of arrangements and frowned. As soon as the attack of the Hara Castle stopped, morale and other aspects were rising and falling. If you want to win it again, you have to pay more!

But now Mingren suddenly interfered, and they had to respond temporarily, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now, but we still have to be in case!"

Matsuhira Nobuzuo put down his hand, turned back to the house, and said, "Matsushima and other daimyos have crossed the Guanmen Strait today, and there will be more than 10,000 people, enough for us to serve as temporary support to deal with it."

Ichikura Shigemasa then felt relieved and said, "Yes."

Shigemasa Itankura turned around and came to Shimahara Peninsula again, then headed straight to the beach, attracting people, ready to send a signal to the sea.

Not long after Itankura Shigemasaki left, Miyake Shigeri appeared behind Matsuhira Nobuzu and bowed and said, "Dian, so the purpose of the Ming people coming was to interfere with Shimahara. They did not mean to invade Kyuko Island, and they should not have this strength."

Matsuhira Nobuzu's face turned pale and said, "I guessed it too, but we cannot break up with the Ming people. They are stronger than those Westerners on the sea. If more Ming people are attracted, the Shimahara Rebellion will no longer be cured."

Miyake Shigeri thought for a while and said, "Dian, do you want to negotiate peace with the Ming people? Tokugawa Temple will definitely not agree, and you may be punished."

Matsuhira Nobuzu shook his head and said, "I'm not trying to negotiate peace, I'm going to delay time. The Ming people can't stay on the sea for too long, and I'm also mobilizing ships. If they don't retreat, I'm sure I can leave them on the sea!"

After all, Japan is an island country. Although there is no formal navy, it is too easy to collect ships. Even if the Ming people's warships are larger and stronger, they can use the hornet tactics to send these warships to the bottom of the sea!

Miyake Shigetaki understood and said, "Yes. Then, the other side of Hara Castle...their morale is getting higher and higher now. I believe that the shogunate cannot defeat them. If this continues, it will be very unfavorable for us."

Matsuhira Nobuzuo laughed, his face full of coldness, and said, "Don't worry, the Hara Castle is an isolated city. When we settle the Ming people, I just need to surround me. In less than a month, I will be able to quell the Shimahara Rebellion!"

Miyake Shigeri listened to Matsuhira Nobuzu's confident voice and nodded slightly. He knew that Matsuhira Nobuzu must have a complete plan and he didn't have to worry about it.

On the other hand, the artillery bombardment of the Ming Dynasty warships had stopped and the cannons were returning to their positions. Liu Jingming, Chen Zhiyang and others were holding telescopes and observing every move on the shore.

The smoke on the shore did not fade away, and the fire became more and more intense, and it was obviously burning some woods.

Shigemasa Itakura appeared in a very conspicuous position. Liu Jingming and others soon discovered it. They held a telescope and observed Shigemasasa Itakura and three others.

Chen Zhiyang observed left and right and said, "Sir, the Japanese seem to want to see us?"

"Well, come and test us." Liu Jingming said without hesitation, and the telescope was still looking around. He was thinking about where they would land if they had no choice.

Chen Zhiyang didn't think so much. He heard the person behind him saying that it might be Hiromasaki Itankura, and suddenly he felt a move in his heart and said to Liu Jingming: "Sir, why don't we fire a few more shots and blow this Hiromasaki Itankura. I heard that he is also a confidant of Tokugawa Iemitsu. If he dies, Tokugawa Iemitsu will definitely be angry and invest more."

Liu Jingming's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly felt a little excited in his heart. He shook his head and said, "Our purpose is to hold Matsuhira Nobuzuo's movements, not to force him to kill him. Let's send a signal and let Hiromasa Itanakura come up. We let him see the cannon and let the small ship perform for them."

Chen Zhiyang immediately understood and said, "Yes."

On the mast, the flag soldiers waved the flags and signaled to the shore.

Hiromasaki Ichikura and others looked up and said that they actually couldn't understand the Ming Dynasty's flag language, but they could roughly understand that the Ming people agreed to them.

Shigemasa Itankura felt relieved. While he asked someone to push the boat into the sea, he was thinking about how to convince the Ming people.

Shigemasa Itankura was sitting in a small boat and staggering towards the Ming Dynasty fleet.

At first he didn't care, but as he approached, he frowned. The Ming Dynasty warships were bigger and stronger than he expected, and the black muzzles were even more daunting.

Some small boats were quite flexible, with about three of them surrounding him and escorting him to the scene.

When it arrived at the leading ship, Shigemasa Itankura looked up and looked up. His intuition was tall and majestic, and he felt more and more worried.

"Welcome to my warship, General Bancang." Liu Jingming was very polite and held his fist.

Ichikura Shigemasa raised his fist unnaturally and said, "Gen. Liu is lucky to meet. I am here to express the peace and quit the struggle."

These are the synchronous translations of the samurai behind him. Shigemasa Itakura cannot speak Chinese fluently, even if he can understand Chinese characters.
