Winter hunting competitions are a joy for the military.
Sheng Yong and Liu Changge were both mounted sergeants, skilled in bow and horse, and their competition was naturally eye-catching.
Liu Changge was the former commander of the Security Bureau. Although he was relegated to experience, everyone could see that this person was by no means a thing in the pool. The emperor would recall him to the capital sooner or later.
Qianhu Yangcheng was respectful to him, and Sheng Yong did not treat him as an inconspicuous person.
Sheng Yong galloped his horse and saw a hare jumping out. He raised his hand and pulled out an eagle-feathered arrow from the quiver behind him. The bow was as full as the full moon. When the horse leaped over a stream, the arrow shot through the air. .
puff!
The hare was struck by an arrow.
"good!"
Mao Zheng, He Yunzhong shouted loudly, and the other sergeants watching could not help but cheer.
Soldiers serve the strong!
Compared with the mediocre Fang Kuan, Sheng Yong's performance was really outstanding. In terms of the level of this arrow, it surpassed most people in the army.
Liu Changge nodded and praised Yang Cheng beside him: "Sheng Yong is not a mediocre person."
Yang Cheng urged his horse to follow Liu Changge and replied: "Mediocre talents dare not leave seclusion."
Liu Changge laughed and commanded the people in the security bureau, saying: "Disperse and hunt!"
Everyone rode on the lonely grassland, and the cold wind could not stop the enthusiasm in their hearts.
As soon as the eagle chirped, Sheng Yong bent his bow and shot. Watching the eagle circle and fall, the sergeant's hunt became even more lively. Before Sheng Yong could reach the place where the eagle fell, Liu Changge had already rushed over with an eagle in his hand. .
"An arrow pierces the eagle's eye. I admire him."
Liu Changge was so impressed that he threw the eagle away from Sheng Yong.
Sheng Yong saw it, laughed loudly, and said modestly: "This little trick is not worthy of Mr. Liu's attention."
"Du Simo wants to break me, but I don't dare to call you a master."
"Haha, there is no one else for this person, and you and I have been appointed by the emperor, so why can't we talk?"
Sheng Yong knew that the top person in charge of the security bureau of Daning Mansion was not Qianhu Yang Cheng, but Liu Changge.
Liu Changge faced the cold wind and said to Sheng Yong: "Have you heard the news from Beiyuan?"
Sheng Yong suppressed his smile, looked to the northwest, and said, "Are you saying that Wala Hashha raised troops and killed Mai Libala? This is just a rumor, it can't be true."
Liu Changge pointed to the direction of the wind and said: "Although it is just a rumor, I have a vague feeling that this is true. Duoyanwei and Fuyuwei have issued warnings, saying that some Tatar tribes are heading east. During the migration, some people have even crossed the Halawen Mountains (Daxingan Mountains). If there were no changes, the Tatar tribe would never be able to migrate in winter."
Sheng Yong frowned and said: "If this matter is true, it will be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. If Li Balasa is killed, other tribes may not succumb to Hashiha's tent. Once the civil strife in Northern Yuan intensifies, their strength will be lost." If we go down, we will no longer be able to go south."
The wind blew along the land, and dust flew up from under the withered grass.
Liu Changge raised his hand, covered his mouth and nose, and shouted: "The chaos in the Northern Yuan Dynasty is a good thing for the court, but it is not a good thing for Daning. Not to mention that we will be closer to the Tatars, let's say that the Uliangha people and the The Tatar tribes themselves are inextricably linked, and once the Tatars move eastward, the ties between them will be further strengthened, and Daning will be in danger."
"This is something we must consider. Tulu Hucha'er is a man with great ambitions. If there is a problem, it will definitely be on him. Mr. Liu, what do you think we should do?"
Sheng Yong asked for advice.
When Liu Changge saw the wind blowing, he put down his hand and said calmly: "This is Shanda people's business, and the security bureau dare not interfere. But if you want to ask about strategy, it is best to ask the court."
Sheng Yong put a smile on his face, raised his bow and shot arrows, instead of picking up the fallen prey in the distance.
, only walked side by side with Liu Changge, and said: "I am only worried that this matter is untrue, and the information I have at the moment is too little. Reporting it rashly will affect the court's judgment, unless..."
When Liu Changge saw Sheng Yong looking at him, he nodded, stretched out two fingers, and said: "Wait for two more days, and the person responsible for the investigation from the Security Bureau will come back. We can rush 800 miles to deliver the news." Capital."
Sheng Yong saw Liu Changge driving his horse out to chase a roe deer, but he refused to chase him and chased a dark wild boar separately...
Duoyanwei.
Tulu Huchaer looked at Ha'er seriously and asked: "So, Elbek Khan was really killed by Ha Shiha?"
Harr nodded heavily and said: "The news has been confirmed. Harguchuk Hongtaiji is dead, and Haohai Dayu is also dead. Only Benya escaped. It is said that he went all the way to the west. I don't know. Life or death, Ha Shiha has already appointed Boljijin Kun Timur as Khan, commanding all the tribes in the Northern Yuan Dynasty."
Tulu Huchaer gritted his teeth and said: "Kuntiemur is only in his early twenties and has no prestige at all. He is just a puppet supported by Ha Shiha. On the surface, Alutai surrendered, but secretly moved the Tatar tribe eastward, which shows that Alutai surrendered to the east. Lutai will not really surrender to Ha Shiha."
When Harbin heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If this is true, then the Tatar tribe should be most prepared to guard against and deal with Harshhar, and they will not enter the east of Haravan Mountain on a large scale."
Tulu Huchaer spread out a sheepskin map and said: "Qiuba Mountain, Luqu River and Yuerhai! Arutai will definitely choose to station herders in this area in the future. The strength of Tatar and Oara cannot be underestimated. , we are still under the command of Ming Dynasty, and it is not appropriate to conflict with them."
Ha'er hesitated and said, "What should we do if Ming orders us to attack?"
Tuolu Huchaer rolled up the map, sneered and said: "Ah, what the Ming Dynasty is best at is watching the fire from the other side and reaping the benefits, how could it be possible to take the initiative to attack? On the other hand, Taining Guards' Hu assassinated Banhu, which seemed to be the same as the Tatars. The tribes are closer..."
Ha'er looked at Tolu Huchaer in surprise. Will the Taining Guards be close to the Tatar tribe? Why haven't you heard any news about this?
Seven years ago, their strength was greatly damaged by Fu Youde and others, and they were already weak. Rest and recuperation were the most important thing. They shouldn't be looking for trouble, right?
When he saw the inexplicable smile on the corner of Tolu Huchaer's mouth, Ha'er suddenly became alert and echoed: "That's right, Taining Weitong Tatar is a serious crime. We should report this matter to the Ming court."
Tuolu Hucha'er was extremely satisfied, patted Ha'er on the shoulder and said: "I'll leave this matter to you. It's best if the Ming sergeant sees it with his own eyes, so that we have a chance... to eat the Taining Guards!"
Hal solemnly agreed.
The cold wind blew through Daning, Shanhaiguan, and from the Bohai Sea to Japan.
Osaka Prefecture, Sakai Port.
Ouchi Yoshihiro peered in the direction of Kyoto, with strong hatred in his eyes. He vowed not to be a human being until he got rid of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Muromachi Shogunate!
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, I also followed him, he became a monk and became Minamoto Doyoshi, and I also became a monk together.
But what about him?
He actually wants to take away his wealth and his own life!
Why?
Back then, for the sake of his master, he followed Imagawa Iyo to explore Kyushu. When he was sixteen years old, he bet on the fate of his entire family and used four thousand elite soldiers to conquer the east and west. In twenty years and twenty-eight bloody battles, he put down the rebellion in Kyushu. !
During the Mingtoku Rebellion, he led 200 elite soldiers to Kyoto, where he was wounded several times and defeated the rebel Yamanaji Kiyoshi.
Last year, the Shaoer clan in Kyushu rebelled, and it was I, Yoshihiro, who sent his younger brother Manhiro to the battlefield as soon as possible. As a result, my younger brother died heroically in battle!
But in the end, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the shogunate was not satisfied and wanted to take everything away from him!
If you want to take away everything from me, then
Take it with your life.
Tomita, Ouchi's retainer, came over and reported to Ouchi Yoshihiro: "There is news from Ashikaga Mitsukane. They will raise troops as scheduled to oppose Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. But..."
Ouchi Yoshihiro moved the corner of his mouth slightly and asked: "But what?"
Fukuda quickly replied: "Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is already integrating the team. I heard that the scale is very large, with as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people. We only have 5,000 people here. Do you want to mobilize more people?"
Ouchi Yoshihiro waved his hand and said: "The reason we are here is to get Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to raise troops and drag him to Sakai Port to create opportunities for people outside to conquer Kyoto. Send the order to build the well tower, Yagura, I want to make sure that the arrows can cover the eighteen towns of Sakai Port."
Futian nodded and arranged for someone to do it.
Ouchi Yoshihiro suddenly thought of something and asked: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty even killed Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's envoys, but is it true?"
Fukuda nodded and said: "It seems to be true. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was so angry that he once shouted that Ming Dynasty should pay the price."
Ouchi Yoshihiro paced and said with doubts: "For a long time, the trade between Korea and the Ming Dynasty has been monopolized by our Ouchi clan. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wants to involve the Muromachi shogunate, and he has been eyeing it and wants to get rid of it. Me. A few months ago, our ship heading to the Ming Dynasty was sunk, and nearly a hundred people died. I thought it was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but now it seems that it was really the Ming Dynasty?"
Futian was a little unsure and said: "Well, it is also possible. According to the news from North Korea, it seems that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty has issued a ban and does not allow our people to enter the sea and land of the Ming Dynasty."
"Why, what does Daming want to do?"
Ouchi Yoshihiro asked.
Futian hesitated and said: "It may have something to do with pirates. During the Mingde Rebellion, many people went to sea to escape and ran to the coast of Ming Dynasty. They became pirates and plundered everywhere."
Ouchi Yoshihiro snorted and said: "When I deal with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, I will settle this account with the Ming Dynasty. The person who wants to kill me cannot do it without paying the price, even if it is the Ming Dynasty!"
Fukuda looked at Yoshihiro Ouchi feverishly. The person in front of him was his God of War.
The wind blew the lapels of Ouchi Yoshihiro's clothes, and Kyoto in the distance was filled with murderous intent. In this battle, either Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would die, or he would die. Other than that, there was no other outcome.
Come on, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, let me show you what I am capable of!
Ten days later, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu personally became the general, led 36,000 people, surrounded Sakai Port, and sent the Hosokawa clan, Kyogoku clan and Akamatsu clan as the vanguard.
Yoshihiro Ouchi miscalculated.
Ashikaga Mitsukata, who had promised himself to raise his troops as scheduled, shrank his head. Without foreign aid, these five thousand people became a lonely army. Although they relied on Ito and Yagura to kill a large number of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's army, the decline became more and more obvious.
In order to boost morale, Ouchi Yoshihiro found a monk in Sakai Port, held a funeral for himself in advance, and left a suicide note, vowing not to retreat until death.
Ouchi Yoshihiro stabilized his position.
At the same time, inspired by Ouchi Yoshihiro, anti-Ashikaga Yoshimitsu forces from all over the country swarmed up. Toki Kannao rebelled in Mino, Kyogoku Hidemitsu rebelled in Omi, and Yamana Tokiyoshi rebelled in Tanba.
Ashikaga Mitsukane finally stuck out his head and led ten thousand people to kill Kyoto.
The war that swept across Japan this time was called the Oinaga Rebellion in history books. It was also another great chaos after the Meitoku Rebellion. During this period, countless people who fled for their lives pinned their hopes for life on the sea.
Whether they were samurai who were defeated and lost their land, or ordinary people who just wanted to live, or soldiers who were fleeing for their lives, they rushed to the seaside, grabbing boats if there were boats, rafts if there were rafts, and hugging wood if there was wood. There was nothing. , just standing on the beach waiting.
Many people went out to sea. Although they were facing the wind, their direction did not change. Ahead - Daming!
