The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 480 Anxious Japanese
Wa country is rice, which is harvested every year.

That is, in October every year, it is the time to harvest rice.

This time is the most important for all the people of the Japanese country. Even if there are so many famous names and various warlords are everywhere, they will choose to cease fighting at this time.

This has been a customary rule in the country of Wa since ancient times.

If there are no rules, the Wa country is so big, and it will be even more chaotic.

And now, it's August.

In two months, it will be the harvest season.

All the big names in the Wa country, especially the shogun, began to feel a little anxious.

Most of the current area of ​​Kyushu Island has been controlled by the Ming Expeditionary Force. They obviously don't want all the food in Kyushu Island to be taken by the Ming Dynasty.

"There are so many pirates!"

Daniu and Ergou patted on the edge of the grass, looking at the open space ahead, thousands of Japanese troops were marching forward.

Excellent armament, one can tell at a glance that it is the elite Japanese troops. These are all combat soldiers, and there are not many auxiliary soldiers following them, obviously for faster mobility.

"My good fellow, there are so many pirates, if we take this down, wouldn't it be a great achievement." Daniel's eyes were shining.

Ergou immediately said, "Brother Big Niu, you're crazy, there are thousands of people here, don't tell me you're just going up there to die."

Daniel was also very speechless, and said: "Are you stupid or am I stupid, I must go back and report the whereabouts of the pirates, this is a great contribution, maybe both of us can give a military system."

"I heard from the army that now at the capital, His Royal Highness Taisun issued a new order to reform the salaries of officials. Even the smallest officials, as long as they can be appointed, they will not have to worry about food and drink, and there will be some leftovers. .”

"Let's take advantage of this opportunity to hunt down the Japanese, and if we can also be a part-time official, it won't mean that the clothes are still fragrant, and there is no need to worry about food and drink."

Ergou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and they immediately turned back to the barracks.

Daniu and Ergou are auxiliary soldiers in Zhu Di's army.

When Zhu Di got the news, he immediately burst out laughing:

"Looking for him thousands of times in the crowd, it doesn't take much effort to find him!"

Zhu Di was a little excited. He grew up in a military camp. When he was fighting everywhere, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were all on his eldest son, so naturally there was less discipline.

When he was young, Zhu Di was described as young and brave, tall, ambitious, good at knight-errant, good at riding and shooting.

To put it simply, he is a martial artist, so it was really a coincidence that he was able to put these two sentences on his lips.

Of course, the vast majority of those who followed him were also illiterate. Hearing this, he felt the same way, and applauded on the spot.

The only thing that stood out was the smile on Zhang Yu's face, which was somewhat embarrassed.

The war is about to start.

In terms of fighting, Zhu Di was really not afraid of anyone, especially after learning the general marching route of the Japanese army, he immediately mobilized all his soldiers, quickly encircled and suppressed them, and laid them in ambush.

In just half a day, they were caught off guard by more than 3000 Japanese troops.

There were nearly [-] Japanese soldiers, who immediately became Zhu Di's captives.

This is Zhu Di's personal command, so naturally there is no leader of the Japanese army to contend with.

But as far as the war situation in the entire Kyushu Island is concerned, it is still very unfavorable for Daming.

Because of the difference in language, most of the Japanese people's minds are now directed towards the emperor.

Although the emperor of the Wa country had disputes in the previous Southern and Northern Dynasties, no matter how you say it, the emperor system of the Wa country had an extremely profound impact on the people of the Wa people.

The emperor of the Japanese kingdom is known as the line of ten thousand generations.

That is to say, as the spiritual symbol of the Wa country, the existence of the emperor has never changed since ancient times.

However, the Japanese warriors from Honshu Island played the banner of His Majesty the Emperor. Except for a few Japanese nobles who had joined the Ming army, most of the Japanese people were still loyal to the Emperor.

This also made the combination of the Japanese people and the Japanese warriors a very cumbersome blow to the Ming expeditionary force.

The number of deaths was not many, and even the number of Japanese warriors died much more than that of the Ming army.

But in terms of morale, the Ming army is constantly falling, and the Japanese army is constantly rising.

For most of the Japanese soldiers today, they crusade against the Japanese country and come to a foreign country, which is equivalent to a rootless duck.

Unlike most of the big battles imagined by the Ming army, in most cases, it was the Ming army's rule over the local people, which made the so-called making meritorious deeds a lot more troublesome.

Jin Wang Zhu Yan's side is also in a similar situation.

Although with the help of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, the members of the Chamber of Commerce are still relatively lacking in fighting. When it comes to fighting, it can only be decided by Zhu Yan himself.

When the Japanese began to march continuously on Kyushu Island, a tug-of-war fight kicked off.

There is no way for the Japanese not to fight the Ming army head-on, because on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army is completely vulnerable.

There is a saying that soldiers never tire of deceit. In such an environment, many insidious tricks were used.

For example, poisoning the water source of the Ming army.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, no matter how much arsenic is put into the water source, it will not kill people.

No matter what kind of poison it is, there is always a dose. When it is diluted with water, drink it into Daoming Jun's stomach, that is to say, he will have a stomachache, and it is just a joke to say that the poison will kill a few.

But this is also a very troublesome thing for the Ming army.

More and more Japanese warriors began to devote themselves to the battlefield of Kyushu Island.

Thanks to the development since the Tang Dynasty, even the Wa Kingdom, which has experienced a great chaos, cannot be underestimated in terms of military strength.

The samurai team formed spontaneously, as well as the soldiers sent by the shogun, totaling about 20 soldiers, came directly to Kyushu Island.

In terms of the number of soldiers, the Japanese army has more soldiers than the Ming army.

At the time, they had no chance of confronting each other head-on.

The artillery alone is an existence that the Japanese cannot contend with.

After successive victories, the courage of the Japanese army began to magnify, and even once they summoned 5 people to attack Feng Sheng's barracks.

Apparently they also know what it means to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

However, the deafening sound of dozens of cannons firing at once scared most Japanese warriors out of their wits.

The Japanese who left seven or eight thousand corpses fled. Since then, no Japanese name has dared to confront the Ming army head-on.

In contrast, Yao Guangxiao's side was much more ruthless, so that after half a month, no Japanese were willing to contact Yao Guangxiao's camp.

What kind of person is Yao Guangxiao?

When he visited Songshan Temple in his early years, Yuan Gong, a fortune-teller, said to him: "You are a strange monk! The eye sockets are triangular, like a sick tiger, with an inevitable nature and a penchant for killing.

And Yao Guangxiao was not angry about this, on the contrary, he was extremely happy.

Because that's what he is.

In his own words, he only asks the way of heaven and doesn't care about the hearts of the people.

Japanese people like to engage in lurking, right?

Okay, let's fortify the wall and clear the field.

A large number of Japanese people were directly driven to live around the Goryeo army, and a large number of people died as a result, plus the rice that could no longer be taken care of.

Japanese warriors can't bear it.

However, Yao Guangxiao had already set up an ambush, and a large number of Japanese warriors died tragically on the spot.

There is no such thing as poor bandits, under the command of Yao Guangxiao, a group of Goryeo generals led nearly [-] Goryeo soldiers, and directly launched a pursuit of the Japanese warriors.

The military order issued by Yao Guangxiao is, as long as you can't chase him to death, you will chase him to death.

He was determined to beat the Japanese warrior's rear all the way.

Behind the Koryo army is the military discipline team dominated by Wei Guang.

Anyone who dares to disobey the military order, beheaded!
The death of the Japanese was not in Yao Guangxiao's eyes, and naturally the situation in Korea was similar.

In this case, a large number of casualties began to appear, and this is what the Japanese fear most.

"The national teacher is wise, this battle beheaded more than 5000 Japanese pirates and captured [-] people."

"National teacher, please see how to deal with it."

After a battle, the generals of Goryeo came to Yao Guangxiao to ask for credit.

Of course, what they want most is to take a short break. Seven or eight days of continuous high-intensity hunting has caused the soldiers of the Koryo army to drop to the lowest point of combat power.

Yao Guangxiao also knew not to force too much, and after promising a certain reward, he began to let the Koryo army rest.

So far, a tug-of-war against the Wa country has begun.

On the other side of Honshu Island, the shogun and the emperor kept receiving the latest military reports from the rear, and they were extremely nervous.

On the side of the emperor, he has begun to send Japanese envoys to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the beginning of the war, three waves of envoys have been sent. Apart from hundreds of envoys, there are also a lot of money, treasures, and beauties.

I only hope that Daming can stop this conquest of the Wa Kingdom.

The shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is constantly in contact with the guardian daimyos in various places.

He wants to concentrate all the military power of the Wa country to resist the conquest of the Ming and Koryo countries.

Wa country is known as 66 countries.

Among them, there are nine countries in Kyushu Island.

They are Osumi Country, Satsuma Country, Hyuga Country, Bungo Country, Buzen Country, Chikuzen Country, Chikugo Country, Hizen Country, and Higo Country.

Among them, except for the two countries of Bungo and Bungqian, the other five countries were occupied by Ming Dynasty, and the two countries were occupied by Goryeo.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is now asking all countries to persuade the guardian daimyos of all countries to hoard their troops towards Bungo and Bungzen.

In the previous strategy, the retreat of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island was basically among these two countries.

In other words, today's Buzen and Bungo countries are guarded by a very large number of Japanese soldiers.

The geographical location of these two countries is very critical. Once lost, it is equivalent to the complete occupation of Kyushu Island, and Honshu Island will face the danger of the Ming Army and the Koryo Army.

Currently, the fields in Kyushu Island have an annual output of about 290 million shi.

That is to say, the place occupied by the Ming army and Goryeo has a grain production area of ​​200 million shi.

This is why the Japanese are now anxious.
