Fei Fu returned to Kyoto alive, with a sad look on his face.
The Palace of Flowers.
Ashikaga Yoshitomi received Hitomo, looked in the direction outside the door, and asked doubtfully: "Why didn't Azu come back?"
It's a good thing that Hino Miko didn't come back. It's probably because Zhu Yunwen accepted it. But Azu is a monk and a think tank in the shogunate, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be left behind.
Fei Fu burst into tears. He looked devastated, as if his family had died, and told the story of the group intermittently.
Emperor Jianwen made things difficult for him and drove him away in front of all the envoys. He was not even allowed to collect the gold and silver he brought with him, and he was not allowed to pass the year. He was driven out of the Ming Dynasty like a prisoner. On the way back, he was captured by the North Korean Shipping Department. The people hacked and killed indiscriminately, Azu died, Hino Miko committed suicide, and these were the only followers left.
Why can't a group of people defeat three people from North Korea?
We also wanted to fight back, but Daming helped them. As soon as we fought back, someone threw a hidden weapon...
Grievances are all caused by grievances.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi was angry, truly angry!
OK, Daming!
You actually insulted the shogunate so much and killed the shogunate's envoys. If this debt is not counted, what is the use of samurai and the use of the shogunate?
"???????????????The Emperor of Heaven also said that he would defeat the shogunate, general, general..."
"What?!"
"He cut off the heads of the shogunate and all the ministers and kicked them for fun! He also said that he would arrest all the women in Japan and send them to brothels, and kill all the men!"
The fat man hates Ming Dynasty so much that he adds fuel to the fire and makes nonsense. Anyway, there are only three people in the palace. Those two are dead. There is no evidence to prove that they are dead. He can arrange it for Ming Dynasty how he wants!
Ashikaga Yoshimochi was furious and shouted angrily: "If I don't destroy the Ming Dynasty, I swear that I will never be a human being! Denshiba Yoshishige, Hosokawa Yorimoto, Hosokawa Mitsurugi, Hatakeyama Motokuni, Hatakeyama Mitsuke..."
When people lose their minds, they should not talk or make decisions. The best way is to lock them up for an hour and calm down.
But people's impulses are very strong and they are good at acting on impulse.
Ashikaga Yoshimichi roared at the arriving shogunate minister: "Prepare for war with all your strength, incorporate all men between the ages of twenty and forty-five into the army, collect all food and materials, and order the daimyo from all over the country to go out with all their strength! I want you to go to war in May We have prepared an army of 300,000 to conquer North Korea first, and then destroy the Ming Dynasty!"
Si Boyi shuddered, three hundred thousand troops?
My general, did you get caught in the forehead?
It is difficult for us to raise 100,000 soldiers. If we really raise 300,000 soldiers, how many people will be captured?
It was also stipulated that it would be May, but now it is already more than February. In less than three months, where can we get so many troops?
"General, this matter should be considered carefully and not rushed."
Hosokawa Yorimoto spoke solemnly.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi kicked over the low desk and stared with red eyes: "Fat rich, tell them how the Ming Dynasty humiliated the shogunate and how they bullied us!"
With hatred, Fei Fu described Daming in an unsightly manner. In the eyes of the shogunate, Daming became a tall, disgusting man-eating beast.
】
Well, Ming Dynasty is Attack on Titan, and they eat people!
There is no way out!
Japan has no walls. If it wants to survive, it can only destroy the Ming Dynasty and fight the Ming Dynasty on land at all costs. With the flesh and blood of the sergeants and the brave warriors, Japan can fight its way out!
Hosokawa Yorimoto knew that it was unreasonable to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and Shiba Yoshishige also understood that the outcome of this battle might be extremely miserable. Hatakeyama Motokuni also wanted to object, but the question was, the Ming Dynasty had bullied the Ming Dynasty to this point, could the shogunate still tolerate it?
Even if the shogunate swallows its anger, can the Ming Dynasty really let the shogunate go and give up the conquest of Japan?
Do you choose to wait for death, or choose to live towards death?
Do you choose to grovel, or choose to kill everyone!
Choose to become a slave, or choose to achieve greatness!
People have two legs, but they can only walk one way!
The Ming Dynasty did not give Japan any other options. All reason and strategy should go to hell. The Ming Dynasty was forced into a desperate situation. Only fighting and conquest can make the Ming Dynasty give up its arrogance!
beat!
We don’t believe it anymore, we can’t kill the people of Ming Dynasty!
Yoshitaka Shiba came out, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Since you want to fight, then fight with all your strength, recruit all the troops you can, and raise all the food you can eat!"
Hatakeyama Motokun looked at Hosokawa Yorimoto, but Hosokawa Yorimoto said nothing.
Going to war with the Ming Dynasty is not a major matter that can be decided by kicking the table, nor can such a large-scale war be prepared in three months. Besides, there are still a lot of problems that have not been solved.
Just to put it bluntly, in the Northern Expedition to conquer Korea, who will defend the capital will not lose?
If the Ming navy comes with all its strength, how long can Kyoto hold on?
Once Kyoto is lost and the shogunate falls, who will provide logistics for the army marching north to Korea? Besides, once the Ming Navy intervenes, can Japanese ships still go north to transport food?
Without logistical support, how long can the army last in North Korea? Even if the Koreans are boiled, how long can they last?
No problem has been solved, nothing has been considered, and there are no countermeasures. You just want to organize an army to go out?
Ashikaga Yoshimochi, you are not Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, you don’t understand war.
War is not a child's play. You think that just by giving an order and shouting twice, everyone can fly across the sea, fly to Songjing, then fly to Peking of the Ming Dynasty, and then fly to the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
You underestimate the complexity of war, and you simply don’t know the cruelty of war!
But regardless of whether the veteran general objected or not, Ashikaga Yoshimochi was determined to conquer Korea and Japan and issued a conscription order.
Suddenly, countless people who were digging holes were arrested. Some of these people were on the mountain, some at the foot of the mountain, some on the edge of the fields, and some in the fields. Some were under the pine trees, and some were from the village. , some were from the village to the west, even those who stood on the well, drank a sip of water, dug the stone well, and cut the green wood were also taken away.
The one who was hiding in the bamboo forest and pretending to be dead by filling a big grave was also taken away. Then so-and-so, Bage Yalu, I won't arrest you if you run away to the island. If you think so, take them away!
There is a lot of chaos, and some people are taking advantage of the chaos to make a fortune. They don't want the man to be taken away, so he pays the woman. You have no money and no women. You deserve to be arrested.
Shiba Yi returned home and looked at his father, General Shiba Yi, who was sitting in the courtyard. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, the general has made up his mind. War with North Korea and Ming Dynasty is inevitable."
General Shiba Yishun looked at Shiba Yishige and said with an ugly face: "It doesn't matter if we attack North Korea. If we attack Ming Dynasty, there is no chance of winning."
Yoshitaka Shiba said seriously: "This time is different. The shogunate will mobilize 300,000 troops for an expedition and use all the strength of the country to destroy the Ming Dynasty!"
"Three hundred thousand?"
General Si Bo was shocked, and then stood up tremblingly: "No, absolutely not!"
Yishige Shiba pulled his father to sit down and sighed: "The shogunate has made a decision. Father, we have no way out. The Ming Dynasty bullied others too much and did not give us a way to survive. They relied on their strength to prepare to destroy us, and we How can we just sit back and wait for death! This battle must be fought if not fought!"
Si Boyi will ask sadly: "Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Of course Shiba Yishige will never forget it.
On Iki Island, the gunpowder bombs dropped from the sky by the Ming army cleanly wiped out all the main forces of the Kyogoku clan, including the reinforcements brought by his father Shiba Yishou and others!
Not to mention fighting, how many people died without even seeing the shadow of the Ming army!
"Father, those are the weapons of the Ming Navy. We will fight the Ming Dynasty on land. By then, we will not be on the small Iqi Island, but in the forests, mountains, and plains fighting the Ming army. How much more powerful can their firearms be in combat?"
Yoshishige Shiba believed that as long as people spread out and attacked in a dispersed manner, firearms would not be indestructible!
Siboyi looked at his overconfident son with bitterness in his mouth. When he was on Iki Island, he was confident that he could defeat the Ming Navy, but in the end, Iki Island was almost wiped out by the Ming army!
"Don't go to war with Ming Dynasty, don't go to war with Ming Dynasty!"
Si Boyi will repeat the heavy words.
Yoshitaka Shiba looked at his aging father and said helplessly: "We, the Shiba family, always need to obey the orders of the shogunate. Since the shogunate has made a decision, we should do our best. Father, the Ming Dynasty is not invincible. You must know that the shogunate The army has grown up after destroying dozens of countries!"
Si Bo Yi will want to cry.
Yes, the shogunate destroyed dozens of countries. It’s okay to say hundreds of countries, but son, a large part of your so-called countries were in the Ming Dynasty. It's just a bigger village, not even a county...
What's there to be proud of after repeatedly pressing down one village after another?
According to the intelligence you have collected, the Ming Dynasty can easily mobilize large-scale warfare capabilities of 100,000, 200,000, and 300,000 levels. What do you plan to use the improvised 300,000 troops to destroy the Ming army?
Shiba Yi will have no way to prevent this, and the failure of Iki Island has declared his death, at least politically.
Facing the increasingly chaotic scene in Kyoto, the sober General Shiba Yi decided to stand up. After writing a suicide note, he ran outside the Flower Palace and committed seppuku.
Using his life to send letters, I have to say that General Shiba was at least a loyal minister of the shogunate.
It's a pity that the opportunity he bought with his life was thrown away by Ashikaga Yoshimichi. Why can't we go to war? Why don't we stick to Kyoto? Why don't we build a port!
The actions of the Ming Dynasty's sluggish navy are weak. We must be hard-line and dare to charge until the emperor of Ming Dynasty kneels in the shogunate to apologize for his arrogance!
Large-scale mobilization began in Japan. Meinong, Yamato, Kii, Mikawa, Echizen and other places began to mobilize forces. Soon after, Iyo, Tosa, Bungo and other places also began to recruit troops.
Countless people were incorporated into the army, and some local guards took this opportunity to fight against the shogunate. However, the shogunate had become a powerful force and had strong troops. Those who caused trouble basically had no good end.
Force silenced the chaotic sounds, the army began to take shape, the war machine was running, and the huge gears meshed with the irreversible fate, making a bang, bang sound...
——[There is only one update today, so Rong Jingxue will save the draft.
To be more specific, a new book will be released on May 1st. The title is "The Ming Dynasty: Auxiliary Minister from a Poor Family". It is still a story that travels through the Ming Dynasty. It takes the officialdom of Hongwu and assists the monarch as an assistant minister to create the peak of the Ming Dynasty.
The story of the next book will go deeper into the Ming Dynasty, unfolding the folk customs, officialdom games, government affairs and military affairs, legal life and death, justice and darkness, blood and sacrifice, greatness and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
No system, no imagination, just a traditional historical article.
The story in the old book is not finished yet, and there is still a lot of content to be written, which will probably be done until around August.
In any case, the old book will never be unfinished or cut off. This is Jingxue’s first history book. It will definitely write an ending for herself and give an explanation to those of you who support Jingxue.
Thank you, please continue to support, and please support the new book on May 1st, thank you in advance. 】
