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

Chapter 232 The Battle Against the Japanese Sea 1
The eyes of the other two feudal lords also lit up when they heard the words, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

If he could capture Daming's prince Zhu Di alive, it would definitely be a great military exploit.

Hundreds of years ago, the Wa Kingdom only dared to send pirates to harass the Central Plains on a small scale, and never dared to fight a big war.Like a fly, it bites around and only picks out the southeast coastal villages.

Because they know that in a real war, they can't win at all, and it's impossible to win.In addition, in fact, some pirates were not instigated by the shogunate in power, but "countries" acted without authorization, and had nothing to do with the shogunate.

In fact, they are still afraid of the Central Plains Dynasty in their bones.

Therefore, capturing the princes of the Central Plains Dynasty alive is equivalent to enforcing the wolf and living in the Wa Kingdom.

It is a credit that has never been seen in the history of the Wa Kingdom.

Its coach will definitely be famous in history, and will be praised for hundreds of years and thousands of years.

Zhu Di grabbed the position of General Conquering the Japanese and wanted to be famous in history, and they had the same idea.

I have to say that Zhu Di's bait is indeed very attractive.

……

"Two feudal lords, please lead your respective fleets and go out together with this general to capture Zhu Di alive." Arima Hongyi ordered excitedly.

"Wait a minute, my lord!" However, Takahashi Shaosan stopped him at this moment, "Why do I feel more and more that this matter is strange?"

"Why is it strange?" Arima Hiroyoshi asked.

"First, since Zhu Yuanzhang sent a large army to conquer us, he would never send a waste material who doesn't understand any tactics as the commander." Takahashi Shao said, "Since he has appointed his prince as the commander, it proves that the prince must be the commander. There are some advantages. And Zhu Di's current tactics are too low-level, and it doesn't look like there are any advantages at all."

"That's right." Gong Yue Yuanqin also nodded and said, "I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang of the Central Plains Dynasty knew people, otherwise he would not have been able to create the Ming Dynasty. An emperor like him would never make such a low-level mistake."

"As the saying goes, one incompetent general exhausts the entire army to death, and handing over [-] elites to an incompetent general is tantamount to letting their soldiers die in vain. It can be seen that Zhu Di's move is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Secondly, I'm worried that this is Zhu Di's strategy to lure the enemy deep. He is using himself as a bait to lure us to capture and kill him. If we all go out, the other coasts will be empty." Gao Qiaoshao Three ways.

"The three of us bear the heavy responsibility of our family and the country, guarding the coast of the Wa country, and we must not allow any mistakes, so we have to be careful everywhere." Gong Yue Yuanqin said.

"If we attack rashly and fall into Zhu Di's scheme, we may no longer be able to compete with the Ming army on the sea." Takahashi Shaosan said, "Therefore, please be careful, my lord."

"That's right." Gong Yue Yuanqin said, "We must make a careful decision, otherwise we will be the eternal sinners of the Japanese kingdom."

"What you two are talking about is the opinion of scholars." However, Arima Hongyi said, "You think Zhu Yuanzhang is wise and wise, and it is impossible to send a general who knows nothing? Then you are wrong. The Shu Kingdom back then How resourceful is Prime Minister Zhuge Liang? Didn’t he make a huge mistake by sending a Ma Di, who only talks on paper, to guard the street pavilion.”

"Zhu Yuanzhang, it's impossible to be smarter than Zhuge Liang, right? There can be no one in the world who never makes a single mistake."

"In addition, Zhuge Liang sent Ma Di to guard the street pavilion because Zhuge Liang regarded Ma Di as his own son and wanted to cultivate him. Now Zhu Di is Zhu Yuanzhang's own son, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also nepotism, leaving the opportunity to his own son."

The Japanese people themselves have no cultural background, but they admire the culture of the Central Plains very much and learn with humility. "Three Kingdoms" was spread to the Wa country very early, and the people of the Wa country also admired the Three Kingdoms very much, so they are familiar with the deeds of the Three Kingdoms.

The two feudal lords fell silent after hearing the words.

Indeed, there is no person in the world who cannot make mistakes, and Emperor Zhu is still a human being no matter how wise he is.If a person does not make a single mistake in his life, he is neither a man nor a god.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Wentao and Wulue are so excellent, didn't he use Li Guangli, the general of the second division, by mistake?
Zhuge Liang also misused Ma Di.

Now the Ming emperor reuses his prince who has never fought, and the situation is similar to Zhuge Liang.

"Besides, I heard that Zhu Di was very brave when he was a child, and he dared to go to the battlefield at the age of five or six. Zhu Yuanzhang probably also took a fancy to him, so he dared to let him lead the army." Arima Hongyi said, " However, Ma Su had shown outstanding talent before? The strategy of Ping Nanman was offered to Zhuge Liang by him."

"In my opinion, Zhu Di is exactly the same as Ma Di. Before leading the army, he performed outstandingly, but he never had any actual combat experience. Once he leads the army, he will be self-willed and eventually lead to failure."

"In other words, Zhu Di is the next Ma Di."

"It makes sense!" Gong Yue Yuanqin said.

"That's right," said Takahashi Shaosan, "Sima Yi couldn't believe it when he saw Ma Di stationing troops on the mountain. Now we can't believe it when we see Zhu Di using such a clumsy tactics, just like Sima Yi back then."

"Besides, do you suspect that this is Zhu Di's trick to lure the enemy in?" Arima Hiroyoshi smiled, "This is completely unreasonable suspicion."

"We found out exactly how many warships Zhu Di has. He simply doesn't have enough warships, so he divides his troops to attack our weak points." Arima Hongyi said, "Sea battles are no better than land battles. There are mountains and deep valleys on land where troops can be hidden. And the view of the sea is wide, there is nowhere to hide soldiers.”

"Besides, even if he doesn't consider logistical supplies and dispatches all the remaining [-] warships to attack our weak seaport, we will have enough time to return to our aid quickly. You must know that we are downwind. The crew of the other side are also more familiar with the sea conditions than If they don’t come to our side, if a hundred warships rush to attack other seaports, they will be flanked by us and caught in the middle.”

"Not bad, not bad." Both of them nodded.

"Third, if we don't join forces, and the opponent's [-] warships attack Tsushima Island with all their strength, Tsushima Island will probably be captured by him. If you are taken by this reckless man in one fell swoop because of your foresight Ma Dao, then we would really be a joke."

"Fourth, if we miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture and kill Prince Daming and let him go, I'm afraid we'll regret it afterwards and want to cut him seppuku. If this matter is known to future generations, they may laugh at us for a hundred years."

"Master Arima is right!" Takahashi Shaozo said.

"Master Arima, please give the order, we will do it." Gong Yue Yuanqin said.

"Okay!" Arima Hongyi stood up and said, "You two feudal lords immediately lead the fleet of the headquarters, together with the warships of the feudal lord, and leave the port immediately. Don't stop for a moment, and rush to the port as quickly as possible. Go up and surround the Ming army warships."
