Shimazu Kuraku, Komatsu with a knife, Okupo Rito and others were prostrated, and they didn't dare to say a big word. Beads of sweat were left on their foreheads and fell on the tatami, soaking the tatami beneath them.

Their lives were completely in the hands of the senior leaders of the Ming Empire, and the second fleet of the Ming Empire was still in the waters of Kagoshima.

What a terrible method. Chu Qi saw the means of the Grand Secretary of the Dongge to suppress the vassal state. With just a few words, the Satsuma Domain was able to walk on thin ice.

After the Satsuma family became stronger due to the development of industry, they began to pursue their right to speak in the East. This little trick was hit hard by Zhang Wenzheng and was just waiting for his treatment.

Zhang Wenzheng made several people in the Satsuma clan break. Li Rushan, the general of Liaodong who had been silent, said to Zhang Wenzheng: "Gei, since the Satsuma clan surrendered to our Ming Dynasty, thousands of warriors and civilians have died in battle for our Ming Dynasty, but their merits and demerits have been offset. In addition, the shogunate has indeed shown weakness in our struggle with Western powers and lacks organizational and combat power, so it is indeed time to adjust the shogunate."

Zhang Wenzheng snorted coldly: "How to adjust is the business of our Ming Empire, and it's not their turn to be self-righteous!"

Okupo Rito, who was so scared that he fought, said in fear: "It's not just our Satsuma tribe, but other tribes have come into contact with the advanced Ming Dynasty. They are increasingly dissatisfied with the shogunate and hope that the sect leader can abolish the shogunate and let the sects form new governments. Of course, this is the self-righteous request of the young people. No matter how the sect leader decides in the end, the younger people will follow and dare not disobey."

The Satsuma vassal lord Shimazu Hiraki almost cried in his tone, begging for mercy to the crown prince who was sitting in the right position: "Please spare your life, the Satsuma vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vass

The Satsuma family wailed. As the most powerful vassal in the East, it completely lost its tough tone at this time and only turned into a silence of compromise.

Crown Prince Zhu Chenghuan looked at Zhang Wenzheng: "Geither Zhang, I think about this..."

Zhang Wenzheng finally said: "The Emperor is already a civilian. You should know what to do with the ronin and the village sect who try to rebel against our Ming Dynasty. Also, how the shogunate manages the East China, I see it in my Ming Dynasty. The shogunate affairs are decided by our Ming Dynasty, not your superiors."

Shimazu Kuraki, Komatsu, Okupo Rito and others said, "Yes, yes..."

Zhang Wenzheng stretched out his hand: "You sit back to your seats."

Under Zhang Wenzheng's instruction, Shimazu Kuraku and others came back to life, especially Shimazu Kuraku was intimidated by the Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. He was frightened twice in a row and almost exhausted.

However, he still had to force himself to entertain the envoys from the Ming Empire with a smile.

If the envoys from the Ming Empire continue to be unhappy, then their Satsuma tribe will be flattened.

Chu Qi drank at his own mouth. He was not mentally prepared just now and was frightened by the sudden tense atmosphere.

He realized how terrible the Ming Empire, as the sect leader, had over the vassal states.

The emperor's wrath is filled with millions of corpses and bleeding thousands of miles away!

The tense atmosphere between the two sides finally eased. The Satsuma family members apologized to the Ming envoys, intentionally or unintentionally, and voluntarily expressed that they would severely punish the ronin and the village men who betrayed the sect leader.

Okuboli's status is much higher than that of him, and the senior officials from the sect leader toast. When he arrived at Chu Qi, Okuboli's eyes also showed fear.

Perhaps Chu Qi's status is not as good as Zhang Wenzheng, Wei Zuochang and others, but the flying fish suit on Chu Qi made Dongyang Daming and their retainers even more frightened.

The Daming and his retainers in the East believed that their every move was under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei.

This time the Ming Dynasty envoys visit should have received information from the Jinyiwei.

Chu Qi was young but qualified to sit on the spot. It was not like the crown prince who came from inheritance, which made Okupo Ritsu couldn't help but look up to Chu Qi.

Chu Qi also paid a little attention to Okupoly.

As the most powerful vassal in the East, the Satsuma clan had a small population, but it was intended to replace the Tokugawa shogunate and become a junior of the Ming Empire. It seemed that there were also a group of talents planning behind the scenes.

After the arrival of the envoys of the Ming Empire, the Satsuma clan no longer dared to act rashly. The next day, he arrested a group of ronin and village men who wanted to rebel against the Ming Empire as the sect leader.

The envoys of the Ming Empire stayed overnight in the Satsuma vassal state without any fear of the Satsuma vassal state of dare to raise trouble.

The steamships of the Second Fleet were anchored at the port of Kagoshima. If something happened to the envoys, Kagoshima would be the battlefield.

In addition to the Second Fleet, a cavalry battalion brought by Liaodong General Li Rushan also landed on the island, which made the ronin from the Satsuma vassal not dare to move.

Ransoms are those down-and-out samurai who lost their fortune and left Daming, and their heads wandered around. Some low-level samurai went bankrupt because they were burdened with a lot of debts and became Ransoms.

As the Jinyiwei Qianhu, who was responsible for personal protection of the envoys, Chu Qi learned about the changes in the situation in the East.

He didn't think about these things before. When he began to integrate into this great era, he witnessed the turmoil caused by the transformation of agricultural society to industrial society.

It was December, and Kagoshima was covered with cold air, and dog barking came from the dark night.

As the base camp of the Satsuma clan, Kagoshima has relatively developed industries here, which has turned the Satsuma clan into the most powerful clan.

Chu Qi put his hand on the hilt of the embroidered Chunjian and inspected the house where the Crown Prince, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and the Minister of Rites were staying.

There were 100 people on the Jinyiwei's face, divided into three shifts, taking turns to watch, and also deployed secret whistles.

Chu Qi believed that there were Jinyiwei, who was affiliated with other Qianhu Offices, lurking in Kagoshima Castle.

Although the Satsuma vassal lords and the retainers did not dare to treat the Ming envoys, it was hard to say the desperate among the ronin warriors.

Li Yanguang, who was on duty, said to Chu Qi: "Sir, please go back and rest. Just leave it to your subordinates and brothers."

Chu Qi had a cold breath during his breath: "The Satsuma family is not as calm as it appears. They may be able to replace the Eastern Shogunate in the future."

Li Yanguang also held a knife to protect everyone at the banquet. He saw the rebukes from the top leaders of the Ming Empire against the Satsuma Domain, but he was not so optimistic about the Satsuma Domain.

Chu Qi paved and said, "Why did our Ming Empire give the Satsuma vassal two ironclad ships and four armored cruisers? This is because the Satsuma vassal warriors are most suitable for being thugs. Can the Satsuma vassal become the most powerful vassal in the East, or should our Ming Empire respect it? On the contrary, if the shogunate is really incompetent, it is not impossible for our Ming Dynasty to replace the Satsuma vassal."
