[Chapter 665 Big Gamble]

Edo Shogunate.

Toyotomi Hideo and other generals of the Japanese navy leaned over and knelt in front of the Watanabe case.

Watanabe’s expression was annoyed, and a pair of slender eyes stared at Toyotomi Hideo, like a tiger that chooses to eat.

Under Watanabe’s gaze, Hideo Toyotomi straightened up suddenly, took off his coat, and pulled out the dagger he was carrying.

“General, I am the one to blame for the attack on the Dongying navy this time. Please let me commit suicide to apologize.” Holding the dagger upside down with both hands, Toyotomi Hideo stabbed himself in the abdomen.

At this moment, with a sound of “ding”, the short sword in Toyotomi Hideo’s hand was knocked down.

Toyotomi Hideo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Watanabe case.

At this moment, the Watanabe case still retains the posture of wielding a knife.

“General!” Toyotomi Hideo called out, crying on his knees.

“It’s not your fault.” Watanabe said slowly, “No one would have thought that King Dasong Yan would suddenly go south to attack Qi, and even ordered his fleet to attack us.”

After a moment of silence, he looked serious . “This king of Yan is a dangerous enemy to us in Dongpu. This sneak attack has reminded us that from now on, Dongpu must prepare for war. Once this king of Yan unifies Dasong, his soldiers will definitely point at us. Beidi and our Dongying.”

Toyotomi Hideo’s face was distorted by hatred, and he said to the Watanabe case, “General, after the sailing warship is launched, please hand them over to me to command. I, Toyotomi Hideo, pledge my life. It will definitely destroy all the warships of the Yanzhou Fleet.”

Watanabe Case nodded, and said calmly: “Remember your promise, that will be your last chance.”

Toyotomi Hideo is overjoyed, Watanabe Case has promised him .

Putting his head almost on the ground, he shouted loudly: “Toyotomi Hideo will definitely live up to the general’s expectations.” With a wave of

his hand, the Watanabe case made Toyotomi Hideo and other navy generals leave, and called Ma Rotaro, “Call the four chief officers and assistant generals.”

Ma Rotaro replied yes, his pupils dilated slightly.

In the shogunate, he held the post of ruling, which is equivalent to the prime minister of Dasong, and the four chief officials are equivalent to the six ministers of Dasong.

The assistant general is the deputy general of the Watanabe case, responsible for the affairs of the Dongying army, and directly serves the Watanabe case.

This time, the Watanabe case called them all, so it can be seen that they must discuss a major issue related to the fate of Dongying.

An hour later, Ma Rotaro entered the shogunate with four officials and a man dressed as a general.

They bowed to Watanabe, and they sat down one by one in the main hall. Taro Mawa sat on the left side of Watanabe, and the assistant general Yamada Haruno sat on his right.

Next are Konishi Masataka, Kukishi, Ogawa Tiger, and Shimadzu Changming.

Looking at the six people, Watanabe said, “You all know about the surprise attack of our Dongying Navy by the Yanzhou Fleet, right?” The

six nodded at the same time.

Yamada Haruno said, “This is really a shame. Since ancient times, no Eastern dynasty has ever attacked our Dongying mainland, and it has always been our Dongying pirates who robbed them.” After a

pause, he continued: “This is A very dangerous signal. Since the Yanzhou Fleet was able to sneak attack on our naval warships this time, their soldiers might be able to cross the sea and invade our Dongpu next time. ”

Watanabe said: “This is exactly what I am worried about. Whether it is for the protection of Dongpu or for the grand plan of Dongpu to dominate the East, we must prepare for war. I have called you here this time to prepare for what may happen in the future. fighting.

Masataka Konishi, Nine Ghosts, Tiger Ogawa, and Changming Shimadzu looked at each other. The

seven people, including them, represented the seven most powerful families in Japan at the moment.

They were also the biggest interests after the Watanabe case established the shogunate Winners naturally don’t want a force that can threaten the shogunate.

Xiao Nishi Masataka said: “We will fully support the general. “The

other three nodded.

Satisfied, Watanabe said slowly, “Since this is the case, from tomorrow onwards, men over the age of ten in Japan will be ordered to receive bayonet and queue training, and at the same time, craftsmen will be asked to forge flintlock guns and artillery day and night.” After

thinking about it, He continued: “I’m going to negotiate with the British consul and Sam’s consul, buy warships from them, and ask Japan to give Japan more advanced firearm technology. However, they are a group of greedy people, and they may need us to cede some benefits.”

Jiu Guizhi said: “As long as we can avenge the dead Dongying warriors, it is okay to pay some benefits, otherwise, our Dongying will live in the shadow of Dasong forever.”

“Yes, it is worth paying more benefits. In the future, if If we can turn Dasong into our country, this loss will be repaid a hundred times or even a thousand times.” Xiao Chuanhu said.

“Major general, please lead us to dominate the East, just like the domination of Japan thirty years ago.” Shimadzu said loudly.

“Glory will belong to Dongpu!” Then, they shouted in unison.

Watanabe nodded, the decadent mood that had been caused by the devastating blow to the Dongpu Navy was swept away, and his ambition was burning in his heart.

For him, whether he can conquer Dasong is related to the future national destiny of Japan.

He had to do his best and gamble once.

Or he personally destroyed Da Song, or Dongying Yusui.

In short, he will never bow to Dasong.

Agreed on this.

The Watanabe case allowed six people to go back, each leading the Japanese officials and generals under their command to implement the agreed policies.

After everyone left, he straightened his clothes and first went to the consulate established by the British in Edo.

“Consul Jack, please agree to our request. Except for Dongpu, no one can contain King Dasong Yan in the east. We will fight for Britain in the east and bring great benefits to Britain.”

Entering the consulate, the Watanabe case began He introduced the situation that the Dongying Navy was attacked by the Yanwang Fleet, and then made a request.

Sitting opposite Watanabe was a red-haired, fat Briton.

He is the British Consul in Dongying, “Sorry, I can’t decide this matter, I must ask Governor Bolt for approval.”

Watanabe nodded. Bolt is currently in Tianzhu, and he is in charge of all British affairs in the East. affairs.

Furthermore, the British factory in the east was established in Tianzhu.

These factories were able to produce flintlock guns.

Only if Bolt agrees, can Japan obtain them from Tianzhu, and even get the craftsmanship.

“”Then please trouble the consul. Watanabe winked at the servant behind him. The

servant walked up to Jack with a plate, on which were twelve gold bars.

Jack smiled, “Dongying is a friend of our Britons in the East, and we will not let anyone Such an evil existence as King Dasong Yan bullied our friends. ”
