The Satsuma family occupied Kagoshima and had always engaged in maritime trade with the Dutch. They had a wealthy economy and strong military strength. However, no matter how rich the family was, they could not stand the waste of money.

Shimazu Kokuha launched the ronin to pretend to be pirates and plunder the Ming merchant ships. The same was true for the Ming Dynasty, constantly attacking Dutch merchant ships and villages around the Kagoshima family that traded with the Satsuma family. From the looted merchant ships and treasures, the Satsuma family gained even more. But the problem was that he was too small, and the Ming Dynasty could afford to consume each other, but he could not afford it.

More and more samurai and ronin were rushing towards Kagoshima, and he had to provide everything he had eaten, drink and used. If one day he could not bear it, these samurai would scatter. The Satsuma-Issue Fate was used to fight against the entire Ming Dynasty, which was something Shimazu Kokusa dared not think about.

Zhou Xian was worried that the Satsuma clan, the Dutch and the Qing Dynasty were connected together, so he wanted to completely disintegrate the three sides before they had completely formed an alliance. For this reason, he did not hesitate to fight.

Shimazu Kokuha gained support from many vassal states by relying on his toughness to Akira, and even the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu secretly sent a lot of muskets. They all hoped that he could succeed and take advantage of this to seize more benefits. But at this moment, he felt the backlash of these support, forcing him to speed up the invasion of North Korea.

He made all preparations for war. The only thing that frustrated him was that the Dutch were unwilling to send troops at this time on the grounds of a rebellion in South China and Taiwan. He only sent a message to Shimatus Kokusa, asking him to wait for three months, and he would send warships to Japan to join the war. But Zhou Xian would not give him these three months, and he could not wait.

Since Wang Wuwei left, Zhou Xian did not send another envoy. At this moment, he sent a man to Kagoshima with Lin Qingye's last ultimatum. "In three days, he will expel all the Qing army on Tsushima Island and hand over the ronin and Japanese pirates who plundered the Ming merchant ships. In this way, the two countries can be restored as before."

Shimazu Kokuhi looked at the messenger with a sneer on his face. "Three days, the journey from here to Tsushima Island is almost three days. It seems that General Lin is determined to go to war with our country! I just don't know if General Lin's identity is the general of North Korea or the general of the Ming Dynasty at this time?"

The envoy said: "Is there any difference? General Lin is both the general of the Ming Dynasty and the general of North Korea. His meaning at this moment is the common meaning of the two countries. There is indeed a three-day trip from here to Tsushima Island, but if the adults were sincere, they should have driven the Qing army out of Tsushima Island long ago. The deadline set by our army is ten days later. If the adults have not taken actual actions by then, our army will have to go to war with the adults."

Shimazu Kokuha said: "Okay, please return to Busan and tell General Lin that I will give him an explanation within ten days."

The messenger was overjoyed and said, "Do you mean to agree?"

Shimazu Kokusa smiled and said, "In ten days, we will know. Please come back!"

After the Ming envoy left, Li Rutai turned out from behind the screen.

"Li Jun, ten days later, the army launched an attack. Do you think this is good?"

Li Lutai nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will inform Luke Dehunbele of this news. He will attack from Pyongyang and cooperate with your army to attack Lin Qingye. However, at this time, I think it should be a day ahead of time so that Lin Qingye can be caught off guard."

Shimazu Kokusa was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Li Jun, you Tangren are so cunning. OK, that's it."

In a remote bay, dozens of strong men were transporting nearly a hundred large boxes to two not-so-large fast ships in a remote bay.

Two men stood beside the boat, one about forty years old, and was sturdy and kept urging them to speed up. The other was a little older, tall and thin, with a sparse goatee. He looked at the busy people in the night without saying a word. They were rich local Chinese businessmen in Batavia, the former was named Lei Mingmu and the latter was Chen Huarong.

Seeing that the strong men were finally shipped, Lei Mingmu was happy and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone got on the boat immediately and prepared to set off."

With a burst of shouting, the people quickly changed from strong men to boatmen. They boarded the boat, entered their positions, closed their anchors, set sail, tightened their ropes, and finished them in one go.

Lei Mingmu turned to Chen Huarong and said, "Uncle Chen, let's go with me! Now the Dutch welcomed the Manchus into Batavia, regardless of the favor we had helped them protect Batavia before. Not only did they have no faith, they also treated our opposition so rudely, and they might not necessarily attack us any time."

Chen Huarong sighed, "I don't know. But there are nearly a thousand comrades in the city. What should I do if I leave them? Don't worry, I know some Dutch people here, and they will give me some face no matter what. Yimin is too young and has a reckless and impatient personality. Please take care of him more."

Chen Yimin was Chen Huarong's only son and was sent to Nanlu County by him ten days ago (Qi Guoyong named the 100-mile land donated by Brunei Nanlu County to express his homesickness).

Half a month ago, Kuiyi and the Qing envoy Zhao Guozuo suddenly appeared on the streets of Batavia, which caused a sensation. Most of the local Chinese had already settled in the local area, but they still called themselves Ming people. In their eyes, the Qing Dynasty was the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, that is, their enemies.

With the support of a businessman Lin Miaofei, five local Chinese planned an assassination against Zhao Guozuo. Unfortunately, they failed and were locked up.

Chen Huarong was the Chinese leader of Batavia and had a high prestige in the local area. He found the Dutch and wanted to redeem the five people with money. But the Dutch was seeking cooperation with the Qing Dynasty at that time, and not only did not agree, he also hanged the five people in public.

This move aroused strong dissatisfaction among the local Chinese. After all, when Ma attacked the Blue Kingdom more than ten years ago, the Chinese were firmly standing on the side of the Dutch. Moreover, the Chinese were diligent and brought a lot of wealth through trade, which greatly promoted the development of Batavia and the current prosperity.

They regard the Dutch as a betrayal of the Chinese.

The radicals were like Lin Miaofei, and he escaped from Batavia. He spent all his wealth to recruit Chinese and local natives, raised an army to resist the Dutch, and sent people to Madalan Kingdom and Nanlu County to seek support.

The Dutch responded quickly and they sent troops to defeat Lin Miaofei in a short time. However, Lin Miaofei led the remnants to escape into the dense forests of Nanyang, and it was difficult to catch him for a while.
