I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 653: Tokugawa Iemitsu

Edo and the shogunate are also discussing strategies for China.

When Dahua and Satsuma fought, they had already paid attention to Dahua.

It's just that they didn't take any action at the beginning, but hoped to use Dahua to weaken the power of the Satsuma clan, and then they were waiting for the opportunity to pick up the bargain.

What I never expected was that Satsuma clan was defeated so quickly.

And Satsuma's quick defeat also let Tokugawa Iemitsu know the strength of Dahua. When formulating a strategy for China, he also became a little forward-looking and hesitating to make up his mind.

After all, this is a matter of the destiny of the whole country, of oneself and the destiny of the family.

In the hesitation, Satsuma Fan signed an armistice treaty with Dahua without his consent, which angered him half to death.

This is simply not paying attention to yourself at all.

The shogunate issued a statement that it refused to recognize the Kagoshima Treaty.

However, Satsuma and Dahua ignored them.

Anyway, they just talked about it, and they didn't send ships to intercept and destroy them.

It's not that Iemitsu Tokugawa didn't want to, but their navy didn't have this capability.

For their ships, let alone the navy that encountered Dahua, or the large merchant ships that encountered Dahua, they all had to worry about being knocked over directly.

"General, it should not be too late. We must respond as soon as possible and not allow Dahua to continue to cannibalize us."

Kumagawa Ichiro's lobbying trip came to Edo.

As an expert on international issues, Iemitsu Tokugawa also received him very solemnly.

"I wonder what the other lords say?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu asked.

"Okusentai clan and Hiroshima clan have made it clear that they are willing to follow the shogunate and obey the orders of the shogunate. As for the Kanazawa clan, the Nagasu clan's attitude is a bit unclear. I guess the attitude of the other lordships is a wall of grass. ."

Kumakawa Ichiro's rush during this period has also achieved some results.

At least, two big feudal lords were persuaded by him that they were willing to put Fuso's interests first, and were willing to fight against Dahua with the shogunate and deal with other feudal vassals.

However, Kaga Kanazawa, the biggest daimyo outside the shogunate, did not make a clear statement.

The Nagasu Clan, who had an antagonism with the Tokugawa family, also did not express his position.

If these two feudal vassals can be won, the power of their group will be able to sweep the other feudal lords.

However, it is clear that the Maeda family of Kanazawa clan had an idea for Edo, and wanted the shogunate to go and fight with Dahua first, and then hide behind to pick up the bargain.

As long as the shogunate and Dahua both lose, they have the opportunity to take over Edo and replace them.

This is a very tempting and very likely event.

As for the Maori clan of the Changzhou clan, there is no such thing as a similar idea.

Although their strength is a little weaker, in troubled times, the two who won in the end may not be the two with the strongest strength. It works well, everything is possible.

"Maeda and Maori are short-sighted guys. If you don't drive away the Chinese, this hibiscus belongs to the Chinese. They still want to be the master of Edo?"

Tokugawa Iamitsu laughed angrily, laughing at the stupidity of the other two families, and angry at the stupidity of the other two.

"At this time, we can only give them more benefits. We will solve Dahua's problem first."

Kumakawa Ichiro suggested that at this time, any form of internal friction is undesirable, and only the form of negotiation can be used to preserve national power.

However, Iemitsu Tokugawa did not agree with this suggestion.

Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to be a little more realistic. He felt that a loose alliance lacked combat effectiveness, and it was impossible to compete with Dahua.

The only way is to take advantage of Dahua's current energy is not fully focused on Fusang, first put out the other disobedient names.

Fuso can become strong only if he completely grasps power like Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The unified Fuso is still quite powerful. During the brief reunification period of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, they destroyed North Korea and tried to encroach on the Central Plains.

Now Iemitsu Tokugawa also wants to copy Toyotomi Hideyoshi's feats, unify Fuso, and then confront Dahua.

For Kumagawa Ichiro, Tokugawa Iemitsu still admires it.

Therefore, he did not tell Kumakawa Ichiro of his true thoughts, but asked Kumakawa Ichiro to stay here to help reform and develop.

Whether it is to unite with other feudal clan, or to destroy other feudal clan first and then fight Dahua decisively, the shogunate needs to do one thing, and that is to enhance its strength.

The army needs training, it needs to build more firearms, and the navy needs to build more ships.

Without ships, it is inconvenient to fight between the islands.

In addition to the military, economic development is also needed.

There is not enough money to support the battle, and the result is sure to be defeated.

The two began to discuss how to enrich the country and strengthen the people. Kumakawa Ichiro's suggestion is to thoroughly study Dahua.

After all, Dahua’s successful example is right in front of us. There is no reason not to learn, but to explore on our own.

It is far more difficult to explore alone than to imitate, and the result is not necessarily correct.

The cost of trial and error is too high for them to lose.

"The consequences of developing a trade port will be very serious."

Facing Kumagawa Ichiro's suggestion, Tokugawa Iemitsu hesitated.

Once the trade ports are fully opened, the interests of the merchants in their home countries will be greatly impacted.

At that time, whether those businessmen will continue to support him will be a question. Businessmen have always been short-sighted.

"To this day, it is no longer possible to do without strong medicine. Without opening the trade ports, it is difficult for us to upgrade our weapons. Those flintlocks are only in the hands of Dahua and Westerners. If we build it ourselves, we don't know how long it will take. He Yue."

Kumakawa Ichiro said.

In his opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages to opening up trade ports, but from a long-term perspective, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

As long as the people of the country are hardworking and study modestly, sooner or later they can master the relevant technology, open their own factories, and get rid of their dependence on Dahua.

Ichiro Kumakawa is confident about the hard-working character of his native people. This nation is also known for endurance, can endure hardships, and is good at learning.

In Kumagawa Ichiro's view, as long as the country is closed, Fuso will soon be able to catch up with Dahua in all aspects.

Once the country has acquired those advanced technologies and opened factories in the country, relying on the advantages of the geographical location and the low freight, they have every hope to drive Dahua's products out of Fusang in the future.

Even shutting down the country after having technology is much better than shutting down the country now.

Now shutting down the country is a kind of chronic death.

Although the mainland seems to be able to live a quiet and peaceful life, as long as Dahua fully invades in the future, they will be forever.

"I will think about it again."

Tokugawa Iemitsu has been almost convinced, but the matter is very important, he still can't directly agree to it, and needs to find other important people to conduct detailed discussions and discussions.
