The tiger's head moved against the sea. Wang Sui and Xue Geng stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the shore in the distance, and gave the order to slow down.
Two rapid and one slow gong sounds came out, piercing the white mist. Within the mist, the sound of gongs with the same rhythm came out, and the sound became denser and louder.
"Where is this?" Andeng Chuan looked at the coastline, ignoring the panicked people on the shore, and tried hard to identify the location.
Ando pointed his bow finger at a cylindrical high stone in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, this should be Mutsu's wild border area." When Ando Chuan saw the high stone, he immediately smiled: "How many years ago? I'm old, but the stone is still here. General Wang, General Xue, yes, we have arrived at Mutsu." Wang Sui put down the telescope and nodded slightly: "There should be about three hundred people on the shore. Let's take a look at the Ainu people. How is the fighting strength?" Ando River and Ando Yumi looked at each other, and Ando River immediately ordered: "Ando Chi, you lead the people to kill the people on the shore like hunting wild boars!" Ando Chi accepted the order solemnly, Get a bow and arrow.
Small boats began to appear on both sides of the Dafu Ship. Sanshan clenched the long bow, drew out the arrow, and shouted to Dalong and others: "They are Ezo people!" Dalong's voice moved, and he ran back, not forgetting to shout: "Run quickly." Sanshan stared. With big eyes, he stood on the stone and stared at the escaping man. When Sanshan turned around, his pupils suddenly condensed. Ando Zhi had already retracted his bow!
puff! An arrow pierced Sanshan's chest. Misugi looked down, then raised his head to look at the approaching ships. His eyes began to blur, leaving him with the last question: "Why attack Mutsu?" Why?
If Ando Kawa heard this, he would definitely despise the Yamato people. It was you who pursued and killed the Ainu people back then!
The Ainu tried their best to escape to the north, but you still don't want to let them go. You send people into the Ainu area every year, humiliate them from time to time, and plunder the Ainu people's wealth and population!
Now to ask why, why not first ask what exactly have you done to the Ainu? Go ashore and hunt down.
Wang Sui and Xue Geng did not order the Ming sergeants to take action. They just chose a high ground and set up camp first, waiting for all the troops to land ashore. By the way, they commented on the embarrassment of the Mutsu sergeants when they escaped and the actions of the Ainu when they were chasing them.
"Why not chop off the head?" Xue Geng was a little depressed. Wang Sui rolled his eyes at Xue Geng, "Why don't you take a spear and chop off a head for me to see?"
The main weapons used by the Ainu today are not the hair-drawn bracken sword, but bows and spears. The hair-drawn bracken sword has a limited killing range, so it may not be able to beat the Japanese sword, and close combat cannot be trained in a short time. Yes, but the spear is different. Although it cannot be mastered in a short time, the distance is long after all. As long as you are strong and strike quickly, you can have the upper hand.
For the Ainu who have never experienced battles and cannot fight in formations, spears are the best choice. If you are anxious to kill, just stab them...
"There are only more than 4,000 military sergeants in Mutsu. At this scale, they are not enough soldiers to defend the Ming Dynasty. How dare they claim the title of a country?" Xue Geng despised.
Wang Sui smiled and looked at the distant mountain forest: "The forest is not big, so there are not many birds." Xue Gengshen agreed and said to Wang Sui: "Zheng He sent a document saying that our Ming Dynasty may face a five-front war, but I thought about it. I think Japan is also a fierce country, fighting a real five-front battle..." Wang Sui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed when he understood.
But no, Japan is very fierce. It has to fight against Li Fangyuan and Zhang Fu. Maybe it will also face the coalition forces of Zhang Fu and Li Fangyuan. It can be regarded as a two-front battle.
Looking at the three islands of Japan, there are three lines here, the west line of the East Navy, the south line of the Southeast Navy, and the north line of the Ainu.
Let me go, the Ming Dynasty could only fight on five fronts, but this little Japan actually fought on five fronts. This is really amazing and I have to admire it.
Wang Sui couldn't help but gasped: "In this way, Ashikaga Yoshimochi can be considered a powerful figure. He can be given two more entries in the future history books..." Of the three hundred people, only a dozen ran away, and the others were stabbed to death. Only five of the Ainu were slightly injured. This battle gave Andogawa and Ando Yumi hope, and also inspired the Ainu to fight with courage.
After the army was assembled, Wang Sui ordered the conquest of Mutsu! Since then, Japan's three islands have formed a three-front battle.
North Korea, Anju. Li Fangyuan waited until Yaoshou was sent to the Ming Dynasty. When he saw his two sons Li Bao and Li Chen coming back together, Li Fangyuan felt that the sky had fallen and he could hardly stand still.
Emperor Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Dynasty did not leave these two people as hostages. Could it be that he wanted to use the hands of the Japanese to wipe out the entire Li family. In this way, the Li Dynasty would have no hope of restoring the country!
Hao Changshou did not expect that things would change so quickly. Before his mission, Wonju, Yeoju, and Seoul were still there. After he came back, not to mention these three places were lost, even Songjing, which symbolized the foundation of a country, was lost. He was still given up on his own initiative!
Escape without a fight! Hao Changshou was very disappointed with Li Fangyuan. If Song Jing doesn't defend himself, if you run out, wouldn't it be embarrassing and humiliating the country?
He Lun looked at Nao Changshou who was crying with tears. You must know that although Li Fangyuan left in a hurry, he took away most of his belongings. The treasures in the palace alone took more than fifty carts, and his own family Well, I didn't even have time to take a torn quilt with me, so I just ran out of Songjing. How can I not be sad?
"This is a helpless move, but also to preserve strength. You'd better stop crying and talk about the Ming Emperor's will." He Lun comforted Hao Changshou.
Hao Changshou had no choice but to face the situation that had become a reality. He had no choice but to wipe his tears and ask: "Where is my family?" He Lun was stunned for a moment. I didn't even bring out the quilt. Who knows where your family is? ?
Li Fangyuan didn't know how to answer. He just took care of his wife and children. What's your surname? Fortunately, at the critical moment, Li Mao said: "Your family has also evacuated Songjing, but there is no news yet. As long as you look for it, you will definitely find it." Li Fang saw the situation and immediately ordered his guards: "Look for it immediately. The people of the family will send him to the city for resettlement." Shao Changshou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Fangyuan and others. He saw that Li Fangyuan was also a little older. Knowing that it was not easy for him, he said: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty secretly sent the Japanese to Korea. The envoy is extremely dissatisfied with the incident, and even though he offered the crown prince or the prince as a pledge, it is not enough to appease his anger." Li Fangyuan's expression changed, and he suddenly felt bitter.
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen, if you take care of more things, you can't be more generous. What's more, what time is it now, and you are still so fussy about it?
Hey, the Ming Dynasty has a tradition of stinginess and grudges. Back then, the Goryeo Dynasty was resented by Zhu Yuanzhang for many years. There was no way to pay tribute or surrender.
He Lun asked quickly: "Is there no other way?" Shao Changshou said seriously: "If there is a way, the king will go to Jinling in person to plead guilty. As long as the king arrives at Jinling, the Ming Dynasty can send troops to support the DPRK and fight against the Japanese!" He Lun, Li Mao, and Yu Xuan Bao and others talked a lot.
Li Fangyuan had a headache. At this time, he had even lost Songjing. He could only take his wife and children to the north of the Yalu River to seek refuge. If their safety was not ensured, how could he dare to go to the Ming Dynasty?
Besides, at this juncture, once he leaves, the generals and officials accompanying him will be scattered. Where will the Li dynasty be left?
I can’t walk! Li Fangyuan regretted a little. If he had gone there in person, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake when he sent Li Bao to Daming for the first time, he wouldn't be in the trouble he is today.
There is no way to regret it. If you could, why did you accept the benefits of the Japanese envoy in the first place? Why did you anger Ming Dynasty by doing this!
Shao Changshou lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "There is another way." Li Fangyuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said eagerly: "Speak quickly." Shao Changshou didn't know how to say it.
Seeing that Shao Changshou was hesitant, He Lun became anxious and said, "Don't hesitate any longer. If you continue to hesitate, the Japanese army will chase them to Dingzhou!" Shao Changshou raised his head, stared at Li Fangyuan, and then looked at Li Bao. The two princes, Li Chen and Li Chen, said in a deep voice: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that if the king does not come to Jinling in person to apologize, then Li Chen will be deposed as the crown prince and Li Chen will be made the crown prince. At the same time - the king will retire from Li Chen. Become the Supreme King!"
"What?!" Li Fangyuan stood up, his heart filled with anger. The Ming Dynasty directly intervened in the affairs of the Korean royal family?
Do you want to depose the crown prince and give in to Li Chen? Could it be that he lost his throne just because of a Japanese incident?
He Lun and others were also shocked. The conditions offered by the Ming Emperor were harsh. The most important thing was that it would greatly damage Li Fangyuan's prestige!
Yes, Li Bin is still underage, and Li Fangyuan can use his identity as the Supreme King to regent and continue to control North Korea.
But the problem is that although Li Chenggui is sick, old, and still a little short of breath, he is not dead after all. He was also the former Supreme King. As a result, he is of no use now, let alone controlling North Korea, except for those around him. Apart from a group of women, he can't even command anyone!
Li Fangyuan looked at Li Chenggui and thought about himself in the future, would he be willing to be the Supreme King? Besides, Li Chen was indeed not a suitable choice for the crown prince. The ministers all accepted Li Chen as the crown prince, but Li Chen was very smart. He was a smart king and a strong supreme king. Who had the final say?
It would be better to let Li Zhu be the king. He is ignorant and indulges in enjoyment. Then Li Fangyuan can still control the situation.
Li Fangyuan slumped down, dejected, and dismissed everyone. Two hours later, Li Fangyuan issued two documents. One document deposed Li Bao and established Li Chen as the crown prince. The other document gave way to Li Chen and became the supreme king.
Li Fangyuan had no choice. At this critical moment, it was impossible to go to Jinling. The only thing in exchange for Ming's action was to abdicate.
Li Chen, at the age of twelve, ascended the throne of North Korea, in Dingzhou, in a not-so-splendid courtyard, witnessed by two groups of civil and military personnel, and in the loneliness of Li Fangyuan.
At first, Li Chen was a little at a loss and worried that he would make a joke because he was not familiar with etiquette. But it turned out that Li Chen was wrong. There was no etiquette at all at this time.
Say a word and salute, then you are the king of North Korea. So what, the king gives the order and continues to escape north...
