"Why is this?" Fang Xiaoru was one of the best at learning, but he was not very proficient in strategy.
Han Du crossed his hands, leaned back, and said calmly: "Since the Japanese dare not respect the Ming Dynasty and dare to kill the Ming Dynasty's envoys, then they are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the enemy must be the last to kill each other. The Japanese are the real good Japanese."
"There is a deep hatred between the north and the south. They want peace talks because the southern court is too weak and is no match for the northern shogunate. As long as I can take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the north, the south will definitely not give in easily. . Even if they have reached peace talks, the South may take this opportunity to split again if the situation is not stable."
In this world, no one is willing to be inferior to others. Those who are able to succumb to others must have some unavoidable reasons.
Why did the Japanese southern court accept the peace talks? Isn't it because the north is powerful and they are not their opponents? Once Han Du destroys the strength of the North, it does not need to be completely destroyed, even part of it. As long as the strength of the North decreases, the South will definitely not negotiate for peace, but will continue to fight with the North.
If there is fighting, there will be war. If there is a war, people will die.
As long as the Japanese and Japanese sides continue to die and bleed, Han Du's goal will be achieved.
The news that the Ashikaga family's port had been occupied spread back to Kyoto as soon as possible, causing an uproar in an instant. Although Ashikaga Port looked very crude in Han Du's eyes, it was the largest port in the Northern Dynasties of Japan and the most important source of wealth for the Ashikaga family.
Now the source of wealth is cut off!
Countless Japanese people in Kyoto were quietly observing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's reaction, and even Nanchao sent the news back to Nanchao immediately.
Suddenly, the Japanese capital of Kyoto was in turmoil.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not disappoint the Japanese in Kyoto. Just one day later, he ordered the mobilization of samurai from Yamato, Kawachi, Izumi, and Kii to prepare for a decisive battle with outsiders.
Mobilizing tens of thousands of warriors at once was something that had never happened in the war with the Southern Dynasties. Such a huge move immediately made all the Japanese see the strength of the Ashikaga Shogunate. It is even thought that if these Ashikaga ports had not been occupied. If Ashikaga Shogun used these samurai to conquer the Southern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty would have no resistance at all.
At this moment, the Japanese in Kyoto, whether they were close to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu or those who hated him, were instantly silent.
Even Nanchao's master no longer moved around, but wanted to take a look first to see if Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could kill those people in one fell swoop and recapture the port.
If Ashikaga Yoshimitsu can win this battle, there is nothing to say. Even the Southern Dynasties will succumb to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's despotic power. But if Ashikaga Yoshimitsu loses this battle, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who suffered such heavy losses, may never have the power to conquer the Southern Dynasty.
For a moment, the Japanese were all occupied with their own thoughts, quietly observing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's movements.
Of course, an army of tens of thousands of people would not arrive at Ashikaga Port instantly. Fortunately, Han Du has been waiting here, so after the army marched for more than ten days, they finally confronted Han Du.
Seeing that there were only more than a thousand people occupying the port, the Japanese who were observing secretly were immediately disappointed. I originally thought that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would encounter a fierce battle, but I didn't expect that his opponent would be so weak.
Is the opponent really weak? Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't think so. If they were really so weak, how could they easily capture the port and make it impossible for the samurai who stayed at the port to even go back and report the news?
For the sake of caution, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was prepared to test the other party's reality first. Drawing out a command talisman, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ordered five thousand samurai to attack Han Du and others.
Looking at the Japanese in the distance and shouting at him, Han Du was still in the mood to chat and laugh with Fang Xiaoru next to him. He pointed at the Japanese and said: "Look, this is the disadvantage of sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Even where we came from is unclear." If you can’t figure it out, you dare to attack directly.”
After finishing speaking, he turned to Jiang Ming and said, "There are tens of thousands of people on the other side. Are you sure?"
Jiang Ming looked through the telescope at the Japanese who were wearing bamboo robes and charging towards him with Japanese swords. He was speechless. Is such a thing worthy of being his opponent? Jiang Ming can kill as many such garbage as they come. "
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Putting down the telescope, Jiang Ming replied to Han Du with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou. I heard that Mr. Hou once led the Shanzi Battalion and abandoned his helmet and armor on the grassland against an opponent that could kill tens of thousands of Mongolian and Yuan cavalry. Although the general is not talented, he will never disgrace the Marquis."
Han Du smiled and nodded lightly, reached out and took Fang Xiaoru away, Shi Shiran left, stepped onto the boat and prepared to return to the boat.
Jiang Ming, on the other hand, led the navy officers and soldiers to prepare for the attack.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw that the opponent's battle formation was very strict, so he did not dare to neglect it, and quickly ordered the samurai in front to form a formation to respond to the enemy.
But just when everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, thinking that there would be an earth-shattering collision next, Jiang Ming actually turned his horse's head, took away the navy officers and fled in a swarm.
Escaped? The other party actually escaped like this?
The Japanese who saw this scene were stunned for a moment, and then nodded naturally. After all, the opponent only has a thousand people, but they are facing tens of thousands of warriors. No matter who they are, they will choose to escape.
After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was stunned, an uncontrollable anger arose in his heart. It was a shame for him that he would be frightened by such a coward's array. If the other party dares to humiliate him, then he must wash it away with their blood.
Immediately draw out all the command talismans and order the entire army to come forward. Even Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself drew his Japanese sword, boosted his morale, and charged towards the opponent with large strides.
The other Japanese warriors had been impatient for a long time. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had promised before coming here that this battle would seriously injure those who had done heroic deeds. Since they saw that their opponents only had more than a thousand people, these warriors did not take their opponents seriously. Everyone became restless and wanted to make meritorious deeds. After all, there are only so many people now, but there are tens of thousands of their competitors, which is not enough to divide. These Japanese people still understand the principle of first come, first served.
Now that they finally got the order from General Ashikaga, naturally everyone was scrambling to be the first, fearing that others would take the credit and they would get nothing.
Jiang Ming led the navy officers and soldiers and retreated into the sea until the water reached their waists and had to stop.
The Japanese warriors who followed him laughed happily when they saw the other party's miserable state in the sea. Without any hesitation, he continued to press towards the opponent with a ferocious smile on his face, hoping to drive the opponent into the sea and drown him alive.
But Jiang Ming, who was standing in the water, had a smile on his face and looked calmly at the densely packed Japanese rushing past like ants. He didn't panic or retreat, he just stood quietly in the water, motionless.
Warships at sea have already loaded gunpowder into the barrel and loaded the cannonball into the chamber.
Han Du gave an order, and hundreds of cannons fired one after another.
Cannonballs flew over the heads of Jiang Ming and others. Jiang Ming was not frightened by the tens of thousands of Japanese warriors coming. Instead, he was startled by the cannonballs flying overhead. Although Jiang Ming knew that these shells would not hit him, just listening to the scream of the shells streaking through the air, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and his face turned dark.
Under the roar of cannons, all the Japanese charges became meaningless. The entire port seemed to be repeating the process of the previous days, except this time there were much more people involved.
Han Du stood on the bow of the ship, ignoring the rumble of cannons in his ears, and loudly said to Fang Xiaoru: "Actually, I kind of like these Japanese people now?"
When Fang Xiaoru heard Han Du's strange words, she didn't even bother raising her Qi, and asked in the same loud voice, "Why?"
Han Du raised his hand and pointed at the Japanese who were still charging, and said: "Look at these Japanese, they know that they are being bombarded by our cannons, but they still dare to line up and charge towards Jiang Ming and the others. Moreover, Even though so many people died, none of them retreated.
You are so considerate. With such a posture, it is impossible not to let me blast them with cannons. "
Fang Xiaoru also saw the Japanese charging towards the shells one after another. He looked at Han Du doubtfully and asked loudly: "Aren't they afraid of death?"
Han Du's ears were itched by the sound of the roaring cannon. He couldn't help but stretched out his fingers to dig, and flicked the things off his fingers. He said dismissively: "Where can there be people who are not afraid of death? It's just some ghost spirits at work."
“But,” Fang Xiaoru looked at the Japanese again and said with some worry, “These people are so helpless.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Fear should not be underestimated. "
"What should not be underestimated?" Han Du curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Within the range of the cannon, courage is of no use. If they dare to die, I will kill them without caring about burying them!"
"Kill as many as you come. I want to see how many people there are in Japan that I can kill."
Seeing Han Du's resolute attitude, Fang Xiaoru stopped trying to persuade him.
The charge of tens of thousands of people seemed huge to others, but under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of cannons, it just lasted a little longer.
By the time the roar of artillery became sparse and the smoke from the battlefield dissipated, most of the tens of thousands of people had disappeared and turned into a huge carpet of flesh and blood spread on the beach. The blankets were densely packed with injured people, and only a few lucky ones were still standing. However, these people were also frightened to the point of mental breakdown, or became crazy, wielding knives and hacking randomly, and were eventually hacked to death by others, or even hacked to death themselves. Or he becomes stupid and stupid, his mouth is drooling, and he looks like a complete fool.
Seeing that it was time to finish the last blow again, Jiang Ming led his soldiers to the shore in a few steps from the sea, and began a larger sweep of the battlefield.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not dead. He had better luck. He didn't even have any scars on his body. Just now he was at the back, but when the cannon roared, he knew something was wrong and stopped quickly. Even so, a cannonball flew in front of him. However, because the shells were exhausted and the speed was not fast, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sideways dodged them.
But this also frightened Ashikaga Yoshimitsu almost out of his mind, and he quickly retreated a lot.
Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not injured at all, his heart was hurt more deeply than he had ever been in his life. He even raised his knife and wanted to charge forward, thinking of simply dying here.
Fortunately, he was stopped by the guards on the left and right, who forcibly dragged him away.
The news that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had defeated Ashikaga Port and that tens of thousands of samurai troops had been annihilated spread like the strongest hurricane in an instant throughout the entire Japanese kingdom.
Especially Emperor Gogeyama, who was in the Southern Dynasties, was even more happy after learning the news and arranged a three-day and three-night celebration of singing and dancing.
Han Du did not pay attention to the reaction of the Japanese people at this moment, and did not even send people to hunt down Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Now, Han Du has something more important to do.
That is, Zhujingguan!
The flesh and blood of tens of thousands of Japanese people were used as the foundation, and tens of thousands of heads were used as mounds. Han Du built the Jingguan on a hillside.
And a stone tablet was erected with the words "The Marquis of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty set up a place in Beijing to watch here in order to retaliate against the inferior Japanese country for killing their envoys".
After Han Du had already set sail and left again, the Japanese approached cautiously and saw the large vertical characters.
“Da Ming, it’s Da Ming!”
"The envoy of the Ming Dynasty was killed? It seems that this happened, but that happened many years ago. I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would still remember..."
"This is revenge, Ming's revenge..."
Han Du believed that after such an incident, the Japanese would never dare to kill Ming envoys without authorization again. If the Japanese country still dares to do this, then Han Du will continue to kill them until they are all killed.
Even the news that Han Du was in Ashikaga Port and broke the news of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was faster than Han Du's sailing speed. When Han Du docked in Ishimi County to rest. People from the Japanese and Southern Dynasties received the news and sent various supplies and gifts to Han Du. He even cordially invited Han Du to join Yoshino, but Han Du refused.
Han Du has been away for more than two years, and now he is about to return to the Ming Dynasty. He is full of joy and thinks about Anqing. How can he have any thoughts to deal with those people from the Japanese Kingdom and the Southern Dynasties?
Besides, I am the Marquis of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty. How can I be worthy of going up to see the scumbag Emperor of the Southern Dynasty of Japan? He should take the initiative to meet him in front of him.
Han Du did not stay in Shijian for too long. After taking a rest, he set sail again and returned to the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Japanese country left behind by Han Du once again fell into more violent disintegration. After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's defeat, he fell ill when he returned and died within a few months. Once Yoshimitsu died, no one could suppress the generals under his command. The huge strength of the North was quickly divided by everyone. If it weren't for the Southern Dynasty, they themselves would be able to fool them.
