Gotsuchimikado Japanese Emperor glanced at the expectant Shimazu Tachihisa, and once again turned his attention to Motonari Mouri.
"General Mori, if I leave Honshu, I will betray the samurai who are loyal to my royal family. I cannot abandon them and stand on the same land as them. Can you please let me stay on Honshu Island and in Yoshida Gunyama Castle? , I hope General Maori will allow it.”
After saying these words, Emperor Gotsuchimikado felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. He had already humbled himself so lowly in front of so many Kansai princes, but Mourimoto dared to act like this, completely ignoring him. The newly enthroned Japanese emperor took it seriously.
This is different from when he was in Kyoto. What he promised was not fulfilled at all.
When he was in Kyoto, he was respectful to him, but when he came to his territory, he looked down on himself so much. This gap made Gotsuchimikado feel a deep sense of shame and a sense of powerlessness for not being loyal to his imperial army.
If the Japanese royal family had tens of thousands of warriors and troops loyal to them, he would not be in this situation.
Asako Nedada, who was behind Gotsuchimikado, moved slightly and said: "General, Your Majesty does not want to go to Kyushu Island because General Shimazu of Kyushu has a dispute with the Ming Dynasty over the Ryukyu Kingdom. If after your Majesty's arrival, the Ming army has With these actions, His Majesty will be in danger if he goes to Jiuzhou. All the generals know that some time ago, the Ming Dynasty's envoys arrived in Kyoto. From what their officials said and talked about, it is not difficult to judge that the Ming army must be I will make a big fuss about Ryukyu Kingdom affairs..."
"If the Ming army makes another move after the Ryukyu Kingdom and invades Kyushu Island, and the people on Kyushu Island are few and far between, who can protect His Majesty..."
After listening to Tingtian Chaozi's words, many famous generals laughed.
There was contempt in the laughter...
Even Shimazu Tachihisa, who has been exaggerating the threat to the Ming Dynasty on Kyushu Island, is the same. He simply does not believe that the Ming Dynasty really dares to challenge their Satsuma Domain and the Shimazu family.
There are all the bloody examples before.
Mongolia lost two troops and generals on the sea twice. With the blessing of the great god of sunshine, outside ships could not approach the Japanese country, and foreign troops could not enter their land. This was their self-confidence, and most warriors were arrogant. Even if they came, They will also defeat the invaders with the Japanese swords in their hands. Of course, this situation will not happen in the hearts of these people. In the Ming Dynasty, they all have domestic stability as their primary goal. A nation without an adventurous spirit will because of An insignificant Ryukyu Kingdom went to war and sent their soldiers to the battlefield... M.biQuge.biZ
Mao Liyuan smiled and said: "The Celestial Empire has strategies to start a war, and small countries also have plans to defend against enemies. At that time, their Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang sent people over several times, saying that he would send troops to our country, but after so many years, Well, have you ever seen the warships of the Ming Dynasty in the waters of our country? As far as I know, their current emperor is about the same age as our Majesty. It is not easy to stabilize the court. So what? He will attack Kyushu Island, not to mention that General Shimazu is in Kyushu Island, and all the daimyo from all the countries have surrendered. Even if the Ming army invades, General Shimazu can protect His Majesty."
"Yes, Your Majesty, what General Mori said makes so much sense. Whether you stay in Yoshida Koriyama Castle or go to Tsurumaru Castle, it is all temporary. When we defeat Tsukuda Go on the frontal battlefield and force the Ashikaga family to After the shogunate is dissolved, you will still return to Kyoto. You don’t need to worry about the Ming Dynasty, they will never come..." Shimazu Rihisa on the side quickly answered.
After hearing what these people said, Tsuchimikado was speechless for a moment... He turned his head and looked at Naida Asako. His father controlled more than 600 royal guard warriors, but at this time, none of them could get close to Yoshida Gunyama Castle.
Ningtian Chaozi looked at the Japanese emperor and lowered her head. She knew that she could not change anything. If she had not been pregnant before, she could have continued to say more, but at this time, she was no longer alone. She had to worry about her belly. The children inside thought about it more and could no longer devote their unreserved loyalty to Gotsuchimikado like before.
Seeing Nedada lowering his head to Asahi, Gotsuchimikado sighed, and then looked at Motonari Mouri and many princes for the last time. After a moment of pause, he said: "I am going to Kyushu Island, but the warriors of the royal family must follow me. Let’s go to Tsurumaru Castle together.”
Hearing the Japanese Emperor Gotsuchimikado's approval, Shimazu Tachihisa was so excited that he couldn't help laughing.
If you can bring the Japanese emperor back to Kyushu Island, your authority on Kyushu Island will be even higher, because from ancient times to the present, no Japanese emperor in office has been to Kyushu Island. This is a major improvement.
Then Tsuchimikado's lofty ideals were also suppressed at this time. In an era when fists were the truth, no matter how noble his life experience was, he couldn't change too many things.
Of course, no one in the room knew it at this time. The Japanese country was destined to become the first conquered country after the implementation of the Ming Dynasty's policy of opening up the sea. They were still immersed in the internal power struggle and could not extricate themselves. When these veteran When the daimyo samurai class discovered something was wrong, it was already too late.
The imperial family was like a burden to the Maori family. On the day after this meeting, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the shogun representing Kanto, summoned many retainers, princes, and troops from Kanto to Kyoto and Osaka, vowing to attack Yoshida Gunyama Castle in one fell swoop and defeat Kanto. The Western Allied Forces recaptured the Japanese Emperor, and a battle of hundreds of nations began twenty years in advance...
Before the war began, the Japanese royal family moved again. The difference from the last time was that this was a forced action...
Just when Shimazu Tachibashi returned to Tsurumaru Castle with great satisfaction, he did not have any time to enjoy this sense of accomplishment. Instead, he faced the darkest moment of his life.
He saw the body of Matsushita Futaro, with all the fingers on his hands missing, his eyes gouged out, his tongue cut off, and the Tsukiyo head hair, which represented the status of a samurai, also disappeared.
Something really happened in Ryukyu Kingdom.
Eight days ago, the waters of the Ryukyu Kingdom became uneasy.
The Ming army's warships entered the scene.
The small Japanese ships posed little threat to the Ming warships and were defeated several times at sea. During the three-day siege, seven warships were sunk and thousands of samurai were killed. Then, the main force of the Shimazu family wanted to They retreated in two batches. When one batch approached Diaoyu Island, more than 700 warriors successfully ran to the island. However, the ships they left behind at sea were sunk, and the Ming army did not go to the island to search. .
The other eleven main warships fled to Kyushu Island, but were blocked by the six Ming warships in front of them on the sea less than a hundred miles away from Kyushu Island. After that, the battle could not last more than half a day, and the twelve ships The Ming Dynasty's warships caught up, and after a day and night of artillery battles, the Shimazu family's treasure trove was completely wiped out...
