Preparing for war? Nijo Yoshimitsu was trembling a little, and quickly persuaded: "Minister Taisei, we should discuss this matter with everyone. There must be many hidden secrets, and there may be a turning point." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu shouted angrily: "Such arrogant words, insulting us, How can we tolerate this!" Nijo Ryuki looked at Nakatsu and winked quickly.
Nakatsu knew the Ming Dynasty, and also knew the tragedies of Tsushima and Iki Islands. He knew that it was not the time to start a war with the Ming Dynasty. Facing the hysterical Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he only said one sentence to restore his reason: "Preparing for war also requires Gather everyone to make arrangements." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took back the sword in his hand and ordered sternly: "Call the officers and generals!" As the order was conveyed, the most powerful officers and generals of the shogunate came to Kitayama one after another, including the great Nagon Hino clan, the governor Leading Ushiba Yoshige, there are also Hosokawa Yorimoto, Hosokawa Mitsurugi, Hatakeyama Motokuni, Hatakeyama Mitsuki, Monk Mitsushige, and naturally Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eldest son Ashikaga Yoshimichi, and his favorite Ashikaga Yoshitsugu and others. .
After some etiquette, everyone took their seats. Zhongjin repeated the contents of the Ming Dynasty's certificate, then stepped aside without making any comments.
Hearing that the Ming Dynasty coveted Kyushu Island and wanted Japan to compensate 200 million taels of silver, everyone present was angry. The young and energetic Shiba Yoshige even stood up and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty has bullied me too much. Minister Taizheng, we We should immediately organize an army, cross the sea, and attack Jinling, the capital of the Ming Dynasty!" Yan Hino glanced at Shiba Yishige. The reason why this guy became the leader was because his father, Shiba Yishige, suffered a big loss on Iki Island. If If he hadn't been well hidden, he would have been killed by Ming Dynasty long ago.
General Si Boyi escaped alive, but countless people died. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had no choice but to remove the commander-in-chief of General Shiba Yoshimitsu, but out of respect for this man, he allowed his son, the now clamorous Yoshigetsu Shiba, to take over the position of commander-in-chief.
The Hino family was not satisfied with Yoshitaka Shiba. Although this man had some talents, he was not as good as Yoshitaka Shiba. In addition, because of his lack of understanding of the Ming Dynasty, he shouted the slogan of directly attacking Jinling.
But at this moment, no one opposed Yoshishige Shiba's unrealistic idea. After all, the letter of credence written by the Ming Emperor was a letter of humiliation. Not only did Ashikaga Yoshimitsu cede the land, but he also had to pay an indemnity of 200 million taels of silver. This It's simply shameless extortion, banditry, and unacceptable conditions!
Not to mention what everyone is thinking and planning in their hearts, but angry objections and statements can be seen by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and prove that they are loyal to him.
Humiliating ministers to death is not exclusive to the Ming Dynasty. Samurai martyrdom is also a common occurrence in Japan. Sure enough, after Si Bo Yi Zhong finished speaking, other people also shouted. They were all very angry, the voices were loud, but the content was very consistent. They were just trying to clean up Daming and make Daming pay a heavy price for his arrogance. Some people even had In planning to attack the mainland of Ming Dynasty, expansion was achieved.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at everyone and nodded happily. When his eyes fell on Hatakeyama Mitsukoshi, he couldn't help but frown, raised his hand to stop the noise, and asked sternly: "Mansuke, why don't you speak? "The Hatakeyama Mitsuru family knew that they did not please Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, although he had followed his father Hatakeyama Motokuni to make military exploits for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
As for the reason why they are disliked, it is just because they have different hobbies and different opinions. After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu unified the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he became more and more arrogant and domineering. Even the emperor looked down upon him, and even had the intention of replacing the emperor. In addition, in recent years, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has been building a lot of buildings, including temples and Buddhist temples. Rising from the ground, countless lands were given to monks.
The Hatakeyama family did not like this kind of extravagant and luxurious life. After a few words of advice, the official positions of the governor of Zaemon were dismissed.
Fortunately, Hatakeyama Motokuni was still there, supporting the situation. After the Battle of Iki Island, the Navy's Tanami Makoto died. Ashikaga Yoshitsune believed that the Navy needed talents. With Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's consent, the Hatakeyama Mitsuru family took over. Navy, only then are you qualified to enter Beishan.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's scolding attracted everyone's attention. The Hatakeyama family looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, then glanced at everyone, and said: "The Ming Dynasty has insulted the shogunate. As ministers of the shogunate, we should serve as servants. If the Taishei Minister just says a word, the Hatakeyama family will go through fire and water and die." Already!" Looking at the Hatakeyama family taking an oath, the coldness on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face slowly receded.
After Hatakeyama Mitsuru expressed his stance, he said with worry: "It's just that you, Taizheng ministers, cannot start a war with the Ming Dynasty now."
"Why, are you afraid?" Shiba Yoshige shouted angrily. Hatakeyama Mitsuru rolled his eyes at Shiba Yoshige, and looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu: "You all know the tragedy of Tsushima and Iki Islands without me telling you. The navy of the Ming Dynasty is not the navy of the Yuan Dynasty, and the sea does not protect us. They have the strength and ability to send a huge army to Kyushu." Shiba Yishige's face was a little ugly. To him, Iki Island was like a knife, and it would be pierced into the Shiba family.
After my father Si Boyi returned home alive, he had nightmares for a month. He dared not turn off the lights and go to sleep for a long time. He always talked about dead people and corpses in his sleep. Only during the day, he was still a majestic figure. There is no trace of fear in the character.
He knew that his father relied on his breath to stay strong. He just didn't want to lose the dignity of the Spo family.
Is the Ming Navy really invincible? Yoshitaka Shiba asked General Shiba several times. General Shiba only painted one painting, with only a wild boar in it, and the painting was called Battlefield.
That means that at the end of the battlefield, only one pig was left alive, and everyone else was gone. Facing the powerful and almost invincible Ming Dynasty, Shiba Yoshishige did not know how to refute Hatakeyama Mitsui.
Hosokawa Yorimoto said: "Even if the Ming navy can successfully reach Kyushu, then we will have to fight them to the end. If it doesn't work, then give up Kyushu and let the remnants of the Southern Dynasties there fight against the Ming Dynasty!" Hatakeyama Mitsui looked at Hosokawa Lai Yuan asked: "The navy of the Ming army has powerful firearms that can fly over forests and walls. The fireballs are very lethal. If the army is densely packed, it will suffer heavy losses. If the army is scattered, it will not be able to resist the Ming army."
"You are trying to increase others' prestige..." Nijo Ryuki objected. Hatakeyama Manjia solemnly shouted: "Minister Taizheng, I, Manjia, are not cowards. I just want to tell you that if we want to fight against the Ming Dynasty, we must build a more powerful navy. We need more time, rather than being impulsive. Let's start a war!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu narrowed his eyes: "Are you trying to persuade me to accept the conditions of the Ming Dynasty?" Hatakeyama Mitsuru felt a murderous aura spreading from the soles of his feet to Tenreigai, and said quickly: "That's not the case, but we can hold it This letter of credence begins long negotiations and deliberations with the Ming Dynasty to buy time. After our navy develops, we will attack again! This time, we no longer seek to teach the Ming Dynasty a lesson, but to completely eliminate the Ming Dynasty!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyes lit up: "What are you going to do to completely eliminate the Ming Dynasty?" Seeing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's interest, the Hatakeyama Mitsuru family began to talk about his grand blueprint: "If Chen Zuyi is still here, we can buy time and wait for the navy. After growing up, we can directly attack the Ming Dynasty. However, with the shipbuilding technology of our navy and the current combat power of the navy, it will be difficult to directly fight the Ming Navy at sea within ten years. The only feasible way to defeat the Ming Dynasty is to defeat the Ming Dynasty on land. Go to battle!"
"On land?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stared. Hatakeyama Manjia nodded heavily: "Yes, we need to capture North Korea and use North Korea as a springboard to directly capture the northeastern part of the Ming Dynasty. The military power in the northeastern part of the Ming Dynasty is very weak, and the main force is far away in Jinling. As long as our army is fast enough, we can Occupy the northeast before the main force of the Ming Dynasty is exhausted, and then occupy Peiping, the important place of the Ming Dynasty, drive straight down, and fight the main force of the Ming Dynasty near the Yellow River." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was silent.
Hatakeyama Mitsuya was right about one thing. With only the Shogunate's current shipbuilding technology, they could not even defeat the Chen Zuyi Pirates, let alone the Ming Dynasty Navy.
Land warfare, only land warfare can compete with the Ming Dynasty. The shogunate has loyal and brave warriors, a powerful army, and the guardians of surrendered servants from all over the country. Once the power is gathered, it will be enough to destroy the Ming Dynasty!
"I agree." Monk Manji said. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at Mitsui. Manji said solemnly: "Everyone, Minister of Taizheng, I am afraid that the time left by the Ming Dynasty is running out for us. Emperor Jianwen's credentials are not a tool for us to fight with the Ming Dynasty, but a fatal thing to paralyze us!"
"What?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was a little surprised. Hatakeyama Mijia frowned and looked at this smart monk. Like Nakatsu, he was extremely intelligent.
It's just that Nakatsu is old and he is still young. Why does Ashikaga Yoshimichi, the smartest person under his command, say that the credential is paralyzing the shogunate?
Manji shook the letter of credence in his hand and said with a straight face: "This letter of credence was written in August of the ninth year of Jianwen. It should be March of the tenth year of Jianwen. It took seven months to reach the Minister of Taizheng. In your hands. You have ignored the time and who sent it, it is the Ainu people from the Ezo region!"
"Why can the Ainu get the credentials of the Ming Emperor? They are in the northeast of us, farther away from the Ming Dynasty! The only explanation is that the Ainu people have already contacted the Ming Dynasty and even reached an agreement. I want to They want something to attack us! The request for Kyushu and silver in the credential is probably just a cover-up to make us mistakenly think that we can survive by surrendering to the Ming Dynasty." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took a deep breath and looked at Mitsuji coldly: "Your Does it mean that the Ming Dynasty will attack us regardless of whether we surrender or not?" Manji nodded solemnly: "Ceding land and paying compensation can only make the Ming Dynasty stronger and bring us closer to destruction. I think it is time to mobilize everyone We have marched into North Korea with all our strength. Only in this way can we fight a bloody road and win a glimmer of hope." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at Ashikaga Yoshimichi and Ashikaga Yoshitsugu and asked sternly: "What do you think?" ps: Something will happen tomorrow, Take a day off.
I've been busy lately, so I'd like to be considerate and thank you Jingxue.
