In early February, a peasant uprising broke out in Kanoya city on the island of Kyushu.

The main body of the insurgent army is the common people who cannot survive, but the leaders are some noble class with good background.

This is actually quite normal. The people lack knowledge and culture, and they don’t know much. It’s okay for them to violently resist taxation. It’s really hard for them to rebel with a plan, purpose, organization, and action plan.

With the secret support of Qian Sule, the uprising of Dashima Sulang was very successful.

Although the revolts were all rabble, the victory was in numbers.

Shimadzu's troops were all transferred to the front, and the rear was empty, and was soon captured by the insurgents.

In less than three days, the Rebel forces had occupied the entire peninsula and began to march north.

This shocked Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, and he felt that what is called domestic and foreign difficulties.

"What can we do now, our troops are all in Kumamoto Castle, and the rebels are coming again."

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa paced back and forth, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

"My lord, I can only ask Nishikawa Wangyoshi for peace. The current situation of the Kumamoto domain is not much better than ours, and there is still hope for peace. After the truce with the Kumamoto domain, we can transfer the troops on the front line to make peace. betrayed."

Ichiro Miyazaki offered advice.

Saying so, but in fact Miyazaki Ichiro doesn't hold out much hope.

He has already seen that Dahua hopes that Satsuma and Kumamoto will continue to fight. If the two of them shake hands and make peace, Dahua may not agree, and may cause trouble again.

"The distant thirst cannot be quenched. In addition to negotiating peace with the Kumamoto domain, Miyazaki-kun will go to Dahua's military camp to find Qian Sule and ask Dahua to send troops to help suppress the rebellion."

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa is still playing with his little abacus, if Dahua is willing to send troops to help.

If it succeeds, the people in the rebel regions will hate the big Chinese to death. Failure can also weaken the strength of the Chinese army.

Miyazaki Ichiro was a little speechless about Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's order, and he didn't believe Dahua would help.

He said: "My lord, how can we expect Dahua now. Our biggest enemy is Dahua. In my opinion, we should declare our allegiance to the shogunate now and ask the shogunate for help to drive the Dahua away. ."

Miyazaki Ichiro has seen through Dahua's ambitions and knows that cooperating with Dahua is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

This......

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa hesitated. He felt that Dahua just wanted to take advantage of the situation, not necessarily wanting to capture the entire Satsuma clan.

After all, Dahua is too far apart, and it may not be a good thing to completely occupy the Satsuma domain.

On the other hand, Nishikawa Wangyoshi and Oshima Speedo are different. Both of them seek the territory of the entire Satsuma domain, which is the most deadly.

For Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, losing to Dahua, losing a Tanegashima, and losing a South Kyushu is a small problem, and he is still the lord of the Satsuma Domain.

But if he loses to Nishikawa Wangyoshi or Oshima Yasunami, then he will lose the entire Satsuma Domain.

The importance of the two, he weighed it very clearly.

"It is unrealistic to drive Dahua away, and the shogunate is not that strong. It is better to quell the rebellion first, and the rest will be discussed later."

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's words completely chilled Miyazaki's heart. He found that Shimadzu Mitsuhisa was just a short-sighted guy, and he was really not a hero worthy of assistance.

Dahua's attempt to devour Fusang's heart is already well known by passersby, but Shimadzu Mitsuhisa is still giving in step by step for his own personal gain.

Miyazaki Ichiro sighed, thinking about a new way out in his heart.

However, before leaving, he was still helping Shimadzu Mitsuhisa.

Although Shimadzu Mitsuhisa is a waste, he is still good to him.

At the Chinese army station, Miyazaki Ichiro met Qian Sule and made a request that Qian Sule would send troops to suppress the rebellion.

"I'm afraid it won't work. It's your own business, and it's not convenient for us Dahua to intervene."

Qian Sule said.

This remark almost made Miyazaki Ichiro angrily laugh. Dahua was very active when he jumped up and down about South Kyushu. Why didn't he say it was inconvenient at that time?

"Master Qian, sending troops to suppress the rebellion is not only for our Satsuma domain, but also for your Dahua merchants. Under the control of Shimadzu-sama, the Satsuma domain can also protect the interests and safety of Dahua merchants.

But if Satsuma Domain was controlled by that mob, they might not be so polite. "

Miyazaki Ichiro said.

"Mr. Miyazaki doesn't need to worry about this. I believe that no matter who rules the Satsuma Domain, he needs to protect the interests of my Dahua."

Qian Sule smiled and didn't take Miyazaki Ichiro's reminder to heart.

Not to mention that Oshima Speed ​​Wave was supported by him, even if not, no one would be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke Dahua.

If such a strange thing really happens, and there is just an excuse to send troops, it will not suffer either horizontally or vertically.

Miyazaki Ichiro tried hard, but ultimately failed.

Fortunately, the negotiation between the other team and the Kumamoto domain went relatively smoothly.

As Miyazaki Ichiro said, the current situation in the Kumamoto Domain is also very bad.

A large number of adult men died in battle, died of exhaustion, and some died of old, weak, sick, starved, and fled.

Compared with the previous years, the population of the entire Kyushu Island has dropped by 30%.

Among them, men died the most, and they were the main force in the war.

Some villages have become veritable widow villages.

Economically, the Kumamoto Domain was also in a state of collapse.

As long as Dahua suspends aid, they will starve to death another batch of people immediately.

Nishikawa Wangji also saw through Dahua's mind and didn't want to fight with the people of Satsuma anymore.

The peace talks, the two sides hit it off, and quickly reached an armistice agreement.

Then, the people from the Kumamoto Domain hid aside to lick the wound.

For more than ten years, they would not be able to recover their pre-war vitality.

The Satsuma domain was even worse. The population in their territory lost even more, as high as 40%.

Most of the extra 10% are women. It is more convenient for them to go to Dahua. Therefore, a large number of Fusang women went to Dahua to seek life in order to avoid war and slavery.

This kind of bad situation is still going on, and Shimadzu Mitsuhisa still needs to suppress the rebellion. In the process, a lot of people will die.

Unless he is willing to give up his position to Oshima Speed ​​Wave.

This is impossible, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's ideological awareness is not so high.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa wanted to have peace talks with Oshima Yasunami, and was even willing to give the position of the general.

Unfortunately, Oshima Speed ​​Wave refused.

It's not that Dashima Sulang doesn't want to, it's just that he doesn't dare.

If he dares to play Dahua, he will turn around and cooperate with Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, I am afraid Dahua will call him soon. At that time, the people of Satsuma Domain will suffer again.

Active incorporation and subjugation by force cannot be treated the same.
