Winter passes and spring comes.
When spring comes, the southern part of the empire begins to thaw, and then the people begin plowing in the new year.
At this moment when everything was competing and full of vitality, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly came to a small island in Shanghu County.
Winter has passed, and the thief-challenging incident has been fermenting on the island for more than a month.
Emperor Daigo's envoy has been secured by Li Jin, and the two parties reached a secret agreement. The Ming Dynasty changed its tone and was willing to support Emperor Daigo in unifying Japan.
It's just that the current agreements are all secret and not publicized. Li Jin only reached a verbal agreement with the Southern Dynasty envoy Tian Cilang.
Now that the frozen sea is gradually breaking open, and the waters of the Japanese islands can now be opened unimpeded, Li Jin's expedition to conquer the Japanese islands will finally begin to officially advance.
After Zhu Yuanzhang received Xu Da's invitation to fight, he put aside all the government affairs and rushed to Shanghu County with Zhu Biao in person, intending to see Li Jin and Xu Da off.
At this moment, Zhoushan Island is already waving its flag, and the port of Zhoushan Island has also been expanded dozens of times.
Today, there are more than 500 ships of various sizes moored in Zhoushan Port.
There are not only more than a hundred huge treasure ships, but also more than three hundred transport ships of various types. These transport ships are now filled with various military supplies.
Everything is ready to go, just waiting to set sail, ride the wind and waves, and climb Mount Fuji.
Zhu Yuanzhang appeared at the port of Zhoushan Island. When he saw the flags covering the sky and the sun in the port, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Unexpectedly, Li Jin's navy had grown to such a scale in just half a year. Zhu Yuanzhang had to admit that Li Jin was indeed a military wizard.
More than 30,000 marines were all standing on the square at the port. They did not have the blue and white military uniforms of later generations. At this moment, these marines were all wearing crimson armor and holding the latest black firecrackers in their hands.
Under the leadership of Li Jin and Xu Da, these people will complete the unfinished feat of China for thousands of years and conquer the Japanese island.
You must know that when the Yuan Dynasty was at its most powerful, it mobilized a hundred thousand troops, but failed to do so.
If Ming Dynasty is allowed to do it now, it means that Ming Dynasty's military strength has far exceeded that of Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements will also surpass Kublai Khan, proving that his Ming Dynasty is more powerful than the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Under the leadership of Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao began the first naval parade in Chinese history.
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
As Zhu Yuanzhang and others passed by, waves of mountain roars and tsunamis sounded in the naval array.
The armor was clanking, and the thorns were like a forest of thorns. Zhu Biao felt that his heart was surging, his blood was rising, and his face was red with excitement.
There were tens of thousands of people, and it was boundless. Although Zhu Yuanzhang had seen bigger battles than this, this unique military parade still made Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flash with surprise.
After half an hour of military parade, Zhu Yuanzhang finally ended the military parade.
These tens of thousands of people gave Zhu Yuanzhang a very strange feeling, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to describe it.
After fighting for half his life, what kind of army has Zhu Yuanzhang not seen? The Beijing camp under his command is the most elite army, which is invincible and invincible in every battle.
As long as he stood in front of the Beijing army, Zhu Yuanzhang would feel a strong murderous aura, making him look like a heroic soldier who had fought hundreds of battles.
But standing in front of these 30,000 navy troops, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt a kind of indifference, a kind of indifference to all life, which made people feel like the hair on their backs stood on end.
Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that if he was an enemy of the navy, he would be forced by the momentum of this group of navy before the war started.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased that Li Jin could train the army to such an extent. He planned to praise Li Jin, but he found that Li Jin was not around at all.
After finding a circle, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that Li Jin was wearing a black armor and standing majestically on the general stage, as if he was brewing something.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused and didn't understand what Li Jin was doing. He turned his head and glanced at Xu Da, only to see Xu Da saying with a smile on his face:
"Look back."
"Dong dong dong dong!"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, powerful war drums sounded at the port, and Li Jin finally made a move.
"Killed all the millions of Japanese soldiers, and the sword in his waist was still bloody."
"Three animals are sacrificed at the foot of Mount Fuji, and three people are praying for in front of the Luo Palace."
"The evil spirits are causing trouble today, and the demons are dancing in chaos, and the country is in trouble."
"Together we can support our ambitions and ride on our horses to flatten Mount Fuji."
"Brothers, go to war!!!"
On the sea surface in early spring, the sea breeze is blowing and flags are flying.
This day is February 18th, the fifth year of Hongwu. This day is destined to leave the most significant mark in the history of China and Japan.
...
Yamato, Yoshino.
After Emperor Daigo was deposed by Ashikaga Takauji of the Muromachi shogunate, he fled to Yoshino with the three artifacts of the Wajima royal family and re-established the imperial court, which was called the Southern Dynasty.
The three artifacts of Washima are the legendary Kusanagi sword, the eight-foot magatama, and the eight-tatami mirror.
It is said that these three artifacts were given by Amaterasu from Wajima, and they represent the symbol of the royal family and the divine right of the king of Wajima.
However, so far, the three artifacts have never appeared in the world, and no one has seen them at all. Some people even speculate whether these three artifacts exist.
But regardless of the three artifacts, the rule of Wajima is indeed controlled by the clan, and the clans are all descendants of the original emperor.
In other words, Wajima has been inherited for thousands of years. Although the rule is constantly overthrown, those who inherit the throne are all descendants of the emperor.
In Japan, family background is very important. If you don't have family background, you are not qualified to hold power.
Although Emperor Daigo was driven out of Kyoto, because he held the three sacred artifacts of Wajima, in the hearts of most people on the island, Emperor Daigo was still the orthodox of Japan.
This is also the reason why the Southern Dynasty now has an advantage over the Northern Dynasty.
After Tianjiro left Kamihu County, he returned directly to Yamato Yoshino, eager to tell Emperor Daigo about the news of the successful alliance with the Ming Dynasty.
"My lord, I am very happy, what great news!"
As soon as Tajiro saw Emperor Daigo, he laughed exaggeratedly and said:
"After the unremitting efforts of my ministers, Ming Dynasty finally agreed to change its course and form an alliance with our country to jointly combat the rebellion of the Northern Dynasty."
"really?"
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Emperor Daigo jumped up happily and shouted:
"Tagami-kun, your hard work has paid off well this time. After I defeat the Ashikaga family and unify the Japanese islands, I will never treat you badly."
When Tianjiro heard this, he was so excited that he crossed the ocean and took the risk to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Wasn't it because of this sentence?
"This is my duty, I dare not say I am tired of it."
No matter what Emperor Daigo said, for him, the biggest crisis was now solved.
As long as the Ming Dynasty does not come to attack him, he can defeat the Ashikaga family, unify the Japanese islands, and realize his ambitions with his own strength alone.
Now that Ming Dynasty has chosen to stand on his side, he is really sure of victory. If he can pacify the Japanese island as soon as possible, it will be the icing on the cake.
"Tanogami-kun, did the Ming Emperor say when he would set out to help us quell the rebellion?"
"After my ministers left the Ming Dynasty, they had already planned to send troops."
"This time they plan to directly attack the core area of the Northern Dynasties, Shi Jianguo."
"When the time comes, we and the Ming Dynasty will attack from both sides, one from the south and the other from the north. The Ashikaga family's pseudo-dynasty will soon fall apart and there will be no place to die."
Tianjiro looked proud, as if he had won the civil war, and now it was time to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Emperor Daigo did not expect that the Ming army would move so fast. He was a little surprised and asked:
"How many troops does the Ming army plan to send to quell the rebellion?"
"Thirty thousand troops."
Tianjiro stretched out three fingers and said slowly:
"They are all armored warriors. As soon as the army arrives, they will definitely beat the crap out of those traitors in the Northern Dynasty."
I thought Emperor Daigo would be very happy when he heard the news.
But on the contrary, after the originally excited Emperor Daigo heard the news, the smile on his face suddenly sank and he began to worry:
"With such a large force sent out by the Ming army, will they want to swallow up our Japanese island?"
Tianjiro was stunned for a moment, but then he waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, my lord, the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away from our Japanese island, and there is no place bordering us at all."
"If you want to annex our Japanese island, you have to pay at least a huge price. And just 30,000 people want to annex us. They really underestimate us."
"My lord, don't worry. The biggest enemy today is still the Ashikaga family. All we need to do is destroy the Ashikaga family."
"With your master's reputation, you can easily defeat a hundred thousand troops. How can the thirty thousand Ming army be your opponent?"
