Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 680: The hero sees roughly the same thing: Ming’s attack on Kaga and Japan’s attack on Shandong
After landing in Kaga, the Ming army spent five days resting and then began to divide their forces to attack.

As the saying goes, the importance of military strength is speed. The four countries of Kaga, Noto, Echizen, and Echizen must be captured quickly before Japan can react and prepare for war.

Fan Guang and Fang Ying led [-] Ming troops and took [-] surrendered troops from Hatakeyama Yijiu to attack Yuezhong northward.

Xu Yongning, Wu Zhong, and Zhang Ning led a Ming army of [-] troops to attack Yueqian in the south.

Xue Xilian and Huang Song led an army of [-] to build a military port and fortresses in Kaga to provide support for the follow-up army.

Because the sea is vast and difficult to detect, news from both tomorrow and Japan is delayed.

From the perspective of the Muromachi Shogunate, the situation at the moment is as follows:
'The Ming army mobilized its main warships in Busan with the intention of storming Hakata Port.The shogunate has recruited [-] new troops from various daimyo and sent them to Chikuzen, Bunzen, Nagato, Shufang and other countries, thereby greatly strengthening the defense of Hakata and other ports.

According to the experience of fighting against Dayuan that year, although the Ming army had a strong navy, it was difficult to successfully land and gain a stable foothold.

Even if you find a corner and complete the landing, if you look forward, you will see that there are mountains on three sides. If you take the land route from Hakata Port to Kyoto, you will be thousands of miles apart and there will be mountains all the way, and you will never be able to climb them all in a lifetime.

Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty was ambitious to conquer Japan, but he was overwhelmed by the terrain of Japan and collapsed.

The Ming army tentatively attacked Tsushima Island, but was defeated and in a state of embarrassment.

The Japanese mainland is a Tsushima Island that is magnified a hundred times. Can the Ming army attack it? '

Therefore, the Muromachi shogunate was full of confidence and generally believed that the Emperor of Heaven was overjoyed in his achievements and was brave but not resourceful.In the end, he will inevitably be defeated like the Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty.

After reaching this consensus, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the general of the Muromachi shogunate who conquered the barbarians, with the instigation of the Wet Nurse Imam Bureau and other close people, brazenly gathered nearly [-] pirates, secretly funded arms and food, and ordered them to divide their troops into two groups to raid Nanjing and Shandong.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa had previously sent his close ally Arima Chika as a special envoy to Beijing to negotiate with the Ming Emperor.

In the process, Arima Chika learned a lot of inside information about the Ming Dynasty through special channels.

The Arima family returned to Kyoto and made a detailed report. Ashikaga Yoshimasa and his confidants worked together and came up with a damaging move:

Let the Emperor of the Back Garden write a personal letter to contact Zhu Qizhen, the deposed emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Kong Yanjin, the Duke of Yansheng of Shandong, to persuade them to jointly overthrow the emperor.

Then nearly ten thousand pirates were divided into two groups. One group raided Nanjing and kidnapped the deposed emperor Zhu Qizhen and the crown prince Zhu Jianshen. The other group raided Shandong and reached the Confucius Mansion and kidnapped Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin.

If successful, Zhu Qizhen and others will be kidnapped to Japan, their throne restored, and Ming Dynasty will follow Japan's example of dividing the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Thus, he used his own methods to retaliate against the Ming Emperor for inducing the Muromachi shogunate to provide massive aid to the court, which indirectly contributed to Kamakura's plot to establish his own shogunate.

If it fails, it doesn't matter. At worst, thousands of pirates will die.Even if it fails, internal strife will inevitably occur in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor, the deposed emperor, and the crown prince will be suspicious of each other, causing turmoil in the government and the public. The Ming army may not be able to support its offensive against Japan.

The more Ashikaga Yoshimasa thinks about it, the happier he is. In a word: the risk is very small, the profit is huge; if you buy it and leave it, you will definitely make a profit without losing anything.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa still cared more about Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Jianshen and his son. As for the addition of Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin, it was due to the strong lobbying of the Wet Nurse Jin Shen Bureau.

Now, those who join the Bureau are working so hard to agitate, just to take people's money and eliminate disasters.

Jin Shenju is a very greedy woman. As for where the mysterious power that lobbied the powerful people in Kyoto came from, it doesn't matter, as long as the money is real.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa is 21 years old and is not yet a mature ruler.Because he was unable to grasp real power before aiding Korea and resisting the Ming Dynasty, he lacked experience and was destined to be manipulated by the emperor of tomorrow.

Originally, he was going to get married this year to the 16-year-old 'Beauty' Hino Tomiko, but the continuous war delayed Ashikaga Yoshimasa. …

On the first day of October, the weather turned cold.

Zhu Qiyu hugged the brocade quilt and leaned against the window to look at the scenery.There is a stunning beauty on the left side of the bed, and a stunning beauty on the right side. They are smooth and smooth, and very gentle.

Qianxue and Suxi sat at the coffee table, guarding a pile of documents and writing carefully.

Zhu Qiyu stared at the bright mirror-like Yuquan Lake for a long time, then turned around and asked: "Have there been any new loyal ministers of Fengtian Jingnan added recently?"

Qianxue replied: "No, there have been a total of 54 loyal ministers of Fengtian Jingnan. They are 'invited' to Fengtian Jingnan by the Jin Yiwei every day, and they gather together to discuss how to kill and do justice on behalf of Heaven. Drive your husband off the throne to relieve the wrath of God.

There are only so many ministers in the entire dynasty. Those who dare to stand up to their husbands have long since stood up. The remaining ministers will no longer openly oppose their husbands for various reasons. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Then wait, when the time is right, I will send them to Nanjing to serve King Yi and the prince.

After killing this last batch, it should be completely quiet. Next year we will change the prince. "

“What’s the right time?”

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The heroes of the world must see roughly the same thing. I will raid Japan, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa will also raid the Ming Dynasty."

Raid after raid, opportunities will appear. "

"Where will Ashikaga Yoshimasa raid?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled faintly: "How do I know that the coastline of the Ming Dynasty is so long, even Ashikaga Yoshimasa can't obey my orders.

Anyway, I will transfer another 5000 Yan Guards and 5000 Shenji Battalions to go south, of which [-] will go to Qingzhou and [-] will go to Dengzhou.

Then the cabinet was ordered to issue instructions to southern and northern Zhili and the provinces of Shandong, Zhejiang, and Fujian to strictly guard against Japanese pirate attacks.

Upon discovering that the Japanese pirates had landed, the local governor and governor immediately mobilized their troops to encircle and kill them.Soldiers are valuable and quick, so there is no need to repeatedly ask the court for instructions. "

Qianxue nodded and asked again: "King Yi's birthday is coming soon. We have given him gifts for the last year. This time, the lacquered gold screen we asked Yang Xun to make is the entire map of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, Japan has not been conquered yet. .

There is also a petition from the Crown Prince asking him to go to Xiaoling to pay homage to King Yi on his birthday. Will your husband allow it or not? "

"Xu, there are still forty days before the Birthday Festival. Let him go then. Although King Yi has committed a serious crime against the country, we cannot stop the prince from fulfilling his filial piety. It is the last year, let him go.

Let's send someone over and deliver some things to the prince, so as not to look too cool as an uncle. "

Qianxue smiled and said: "Don't worry, husband, the fleet to deliver gifts to the prince set off half a month ago, and should be almost to Nanjing along the canal now.

We prepared gifts worth 6 to [-] taels in one go, which are definitely affordable. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded repeatedly: "Very good, very good, you are still qualified as aunts."

　Thanks to Xiaobuding for the reward of 5000 points
