After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 231 Excited Arima Hiroyoshi
"Let Xie Cheng, the commander of Yingyangwei, be the vanguard, and go with me." Zhu Di said, "Let's set off at Yinshi tonight, and at dawn tomorrow, I'm afraid we will be able to see the Japanese ships."

"The rest of the guards will follow up on board in batches. The order is Longxiang Guard, Leopard Tao Guard, Flying Bear Guard, Shenwu Guard..."

"Respect!"

The generals took the lead.

"Go down."

The generals dispersed one after another.

"General Xie, you must protect His Royal Highness King Yan." Outside the big tent, a group of generals gave Xie Cheng thousands of tinkling bells.

The crowd called him General Xie. Xie Cheng was the Commander of the Guards when he was in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Once he went on an expedition, his position changed and he became a former deputy general. After all, going on an expedition would be life-threatening.

That is to say, once they go out to fight, the generals will be promoted by one rank per capita.

That's why so many military generals like to fight. If they don't have the opportunity to fight, they won't get any promotion.Even farming in remote areas.

"Everyone, please rest assured. I know this better than you, and I am more cautious than you." Xie Cheng said solemnly, "Even if I die in battle, I will definitely keep His Highness King Yan."

He definitely will.

Don't think about yourself, but also think about your family.

……

Japanese country.

Tsushima Island.

Tsushima Island is now occupied by the Wa Kingdom. As their frontier position, they can attack and retreat or defend.

Tsushima Island lies between Japan and Goryeo, and is very close to Goryeo. On a sunny day, standing on a high platform, you can see Busan with your naked eyes.It is 82 kilometers from north to south, and 8000 meters from east to west, covering an area of ​​[-] square kilometers.

It has been the most important strategic location between Goryeo and Wa since ancient times.

In history, the two countries have fought hundreds of battles, large and small, in order to compete for this island.

Sometimes this island belongs to the Wa Kingdom, sometimes it is occupied by Goryeo. Even when Yuanting attacked the Wa Kingdom, it was the first to capture it.It can be said that Tsushima Island is a place of hundreds of battles, a place where military strategists must fight.

Such an important place, the Wa Kingdom must definitely defend it with all its strength.

At this time, the three feudal lords of the Wa Kingdom, as well as their respective retainers, had gathered in the big tent to discuss military affairs.

The three were Takahashi Shozo, the feudal lord of the Takahashi family, Gongyue Yuanqin, the feudal lord of the Kyuzuki family, and Arima Hiroyoshi, the local feudal lord.Because Wa has many seaports, the warriors of the three feudal lords are very familiar with naval battles.

Under the instruction of the feudal lord, many samurai used to be Japanese pirates and harassed the coast of the Central Plains. They belonged to old sailors and were extremely familiar with the conditions of the sea.

"Central Plains には, 自を知り彼を知ることは百戦危险うからずという名言がある." Arima Hiroyoshi said, "Daming's General Zhu Di woどう思いますか?"

"There is a saying in the Central Plains, which is to know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles." Arima Koyoshi said, "What do you guys think of Ming Dynasty Navy General Zhu Di?"

"Zhu Di is the fourth prince of the Ming emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. I heard that he has a strong character and was taught by three great Confucians. He is proficient in Confucianism." Another feudal lord Takahashi Shaozo replied, "But because he is still young, he has never led an army. Pass."

"Wet pussy!" Arima Hongyi sneered upon hearing this.

"Emperor Ming sent his son to conquer us in person, which shows how determined Ming is to attack our country." Gong Yue Yuanqin said, "Therefore, we must annihilate all the fleets led by him on the sea."

"Give Daming a blow so he won't dare to invade us again."

"That's right, if Daming is not taught a severe lesson, they will definitely intensify their invasions in the future." Gong Yue Yuanqin, another feudal lord, said, "If they can be defeated in a single battle, the frontiers of our country will be safe for 20 years."

"If we lose this battle, our country will surely perish." Takahashi Shaosan said, "I heard that the Ming army has [-] elite troops. Therefore, we must keep them at sea."

"That's right, General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also attaches great importance to this matter." Gongyue Yuanqin said with a solemn expression, "The three of us are equivalent to guarding the gate of the country, and it will be dangerous if we can't guard the country."

"If you can't keep it, the three of us will become sinners of the Japanese kingdom through the ages."

"Therefore, we three feudal lords must abandon the previous prejudices among the various countries, and work together to resist foreign humiliation." Takahashi Shaosan said.

"That's right, we must unite and unite to the outside world." Gongyue Yuanqin said, "In addition to my three feudal lords, General Ashikaga has mobilized feudal lords from all over the country to Kyushu one after another. We must defend Daming from all fronts."

……

"In the eyes of this feudal lord, there is absolutely no need for you two to be so unreasonable." Compared with the seriousness of the two, Arima Hiroyoshi seemed relatively relaxed, "In my opinion, Zhu Di is completely an ignorant and incompetent prince. It is nothing to worry about at all. We will definitely be able to wipe out its navy at sea, and after we wipe out its navy, the rest of the elite will be just decorations."

"Zhu Di is too young, he has never led a soldier, and the first time he led a soldier, his command was a mess."

"Why do you see that?" The other two feudal lords asked in surprise.

"According to reports from his subordinates, Zhu Di doesn't know how to use any tactics at all. He has never fought at all, let alone a naval battle. In the first battle at sea, he sent two hundred of his three hundred warships to attack us. Tsushima."

"For the first time, the whole army attacked, as if he wanted to fight us desperately. He didn't know the firepower of our warships and how to deploy them. Therefore, he was completely a beginner on the battlefield."

"Leading all the main force to attack for the first time?" Hearing this, the other two were also stunned. "It's rare to see this kind of tactics, and it really looks like something done by a dude."

"Could it be that he wants to lure the enemy to go deep, lure all our warships out, gather and destroy them?" Takahashi Shaosan asked.

"Impossible!" Arima Hiroyoshi said, "The Ming army used Goryeo's warships, their loading capacity, sturdiness and firepower are far inferior to our Japanese warships. I think they are here to die."

"My lord, the ships of the Ming Dynasty have already set off, and there are two hundred ships in total." At this time, a family official came in to report, "In addition, among the enemy ships, there is also the commander-in-chief ship of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, Zhu Di, the commander-in-chief of the other side. He also came in person."

"Zhu Di came in person? That's great!" Arima Hongyi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't help shouting, "If we can capture or kill Zhu Di alive, the Ming Dynasty will lose its national prestige, and there will be no need to fight this battle again."

His eyes lit up: "It's best to capture him alive. After he is captured alive, we can raise conditions with Daming. Either pay compensation, or force him to cede the land of Korea to us. In short, there are countless benefits."

"Furthermore, if Zhu Di can be captured alive, the Ming Dynasty will lose its military prestige, the country's prestige will be lost, and we will never recover from it. And our morale will be boosted, and the three of us will go down in history and become the war gods of the Japanese country."
