Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 103 Bringing Peace to the Japanese Country [Tenth More]

During the Hongwu Dynasty, Japanese pirates along the coast of Daming were actually extremely rampant.

The Japanese pirates at this time were not the pirates raised by the officials and gentry with money.

This is a real pirate.

Basically, they are all warriors from Japan.

In history, apart from most of the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang fleeing to sea, another important factor that prompted Zhu Yuanzhang to block the coast was because of these Japanese pirates.

During the Hongwu period, the territory of Wa Kingdom was the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the two emperors and their warriors fought fiercely.

Those Japanese pirates basically lost their battles in the Southern and Northern Dynasties War, lost their family property, and were deliberately expelled by the Japanese government, so they ran to the coast of Daming to do harm.

And because of the revival of the global aura, the Japanese country at this time is even more chaotic, and the domestic daimyos and generals have expanded their ambitions because of their growing strength.

They don't have a character like Zhu Yuanzhang who can directly slap and slap out the rebellion as soon as the rebellion is just a little bit.

So the current Wa country is actually more chaotic than in history.

More Japanese pirates came to the southeast coast.

But at the same time, the Ming Dynasty has also become different.

Geng Bingwen, a veteran who is good at defense, has been sitting on the southeast coast, leading the elite of Ming Dynasty who has practiced the 36 body exercises, and beheading Japanese pirates everywhere.

Those stragglers, in front of the elite of the Ming Dynasty, are completely unfavorable.

Of course, defense all the time is not the solution. If you want to solve the problem of Japanese pirates once and for all, you still have to start with the root of the Japanese country.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty's navigation skills were not good enough, and Zhu Yuanzhang kept suppressing his anger because of the lessons learned from the disastrous defeat of the Japanese conquest during the Yuan Dynasty.

Even in the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to endure the incident that the Japanese country beheaded the envoys he sent.

But just because he can bear it doesn't mean he doesn't hold grudges.

He has always remembered this kind of thing in his little notebook!
Now that there are steamships and news that there are a large number of silver mines in the country, Zhu Yuanzhang can't bear it.

Even though he was too busy to go there in person, he could send his son there.

Standing on the bow of a steamship, Zhu Di looked at the land of the Wa country that could already be seen in the distance, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He still remembered what his father told him before he left.

"People in this country of Wa have a kind of slavishness. It is impossible to impose a soft policy. The more you treat them, the more they will jump, the more rampant they will be. They want to kill them. Kill them until they are scared and kill them again. If you dare to resist, they will truly surrender to you!"

Zhu Di firmly remembered this sentence.

The fleet finally arrived at the port of Edo in the country of Wa.

The Wa Kingdom, which has been silent for hundreds of years, has never seen such a huge fleet, and this kind of big warships bursting with black smoke.

Immediately, he was frightened and ran around.

"Tang Shuai, what shall we do?" Zhu Di asked, looking at the pale Japanese people frightened by the distant port.

"I think to be on the safe side, let's first send the official document to the emperor. I heard that they now have two emperors, so let both of them come over and explain clearly that Hongwu killed my envoy of the Ming Dynasty in the third year." .”

"After all, we are not a barbarian nation, and we have a reason to do things." Tang He said with a smile.

"it is good!"

"It's still Shuai Tang who is scheming!" Zhu Di also grinned.

Soon the two official documents were sent to the interior of the Wa Kingdom. Of course, it was impossible for the official documents to be sent to the Northern Dynasty.

After all, the Southern and Northern Dynasties are still fighting!

It was not even sent to Emperor Go-Daigo, but was intercepted by the general Murata Ieyasu who was on duty in Nagasaki.

"Baga, what Ming Dynasty envoy, I think it's a pirate!"

"The time has come to serve the Emperor."

This man tore up the official document to pieces, and mobilized 2000 men and horses to march to Edo Port.

"Tang Shuai, can you fight now?" Zhu Di asked eagerly.

"This subordinate is at His Highness' disposal!" Tang He said solemnly with a straight face.

In fact, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's appointment, he is the marshal of this expedition to the Japanese country, but he has always regarded himself as a subordinate along the way, giving Zhu Di enough face.

Although Zhu Di was a little embarrassed at first, but now he has reluctantly accepted it.

"Wo Kingdom disregarded my Ming's solemn representations, insisted on refusing to hand over the murderer who killed my Ming's envoy, and even dared to initiate a war. We had no choice but to fight back!"

"Navy fire!"

"I want to take down Edo Port first, use it as the army's landing base, and then occupy the entire Nagasaki!" Zhu Di said in a deep voice.

After saying this, he suddenly came to his senses and turned his head to look at a civilian officer who accompanied the army.

"Ahem, you don't need to memorize the next two sentences, just memorize the first paragraph, do you understand?" Zhu Di reminded.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, all the officials know!"

"Do you want to check, Your Highness?" the civil servant asked with a bright smile.

"no need!"

"I believe you!" After all, Zhu Di was still only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, his skin thickness was not up to standard, and he even seemed a little shy at the moment.

Unlike the old fried dough stick Tanghe next to him, who was not flushed or out of breath, and was always smiling cheerfully.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The naval guns sprayed endless flames.

Even if the current Ming navy confronts head-on, any country can come and go after 500 years of fighting, not to mention the Japanese country that has not even appeared with matchlock guns.

Summarize in four words.

Destruction.

The 2000 people didn't even survive a round of shelling, and were directly beaten to pieces.

"Landing!" Zhu Di ordered, and the [-] troops began to land in an orderly manner.

These infantry are also using new equipment, and some of them were captured from the British before. Although only 2 people came this time, it is basically impossible to fight Japan, which is still in the era of cold weapons. any casualties.

The entire Nagasaki armed forces were wiped out within half a month.

Zhu Di did not go to the interior of the Japanese country anymore. It is easy to wipe out the Japanese army, but it is not something that can be accomplished overnight to truly occupy the Japanese country.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the opinion that we must hold high the banner of the Chinese suzerain to fight against the dissidents, advance slowly and steadily, first occupy Nagasaki, and then wipe out the samurai class throughout Nagasaki. These people are actually of the same nature as the gentry of Ming Dynasty. They are all landlords.

First sweep away the landlords and distribute the land to the people of the Japanese country, so as to win the hearts of some people, and then use strong means to kill a group of rebellious people who dare to rebel. hit.

And we must do a good job of propaganda to let the common people of the Wa Kingdom know that this is not an invasion, because the Wa Kingdom has been the territory of China since ancient times.

After Nagasaki is firmly established, Zhu Yuanzhang will continue to send civil servants here to establish social studies, so that all Japanese people can start learning Chinese, speaking Chinese, wearing Hanfu, and bathing in Chinese culture and history.

After all, this is an old tradition that they have been doing since the Han and Tang Dynasties.

To be honest, more than half of the current history of the Wa Kingdom is learned from China.

Only the culture of caesarean section at every turn is invented and created by themselves.

This time Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind.

He wants to completely include the Wa country into the territory of Ming Dynasty, instead of a colony that is thrown away after grabbing a wave.

The common people of the Wa Kingdom are living in a very hard time, and he has an obligation and a responsibility to bring peace to these common people...
