Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 709: Tomorrow both sides will successfully land and abandon Busan and transfer to Gangyeon.
Nagasaki only had a thousand defenders and dozens of ships.

At first, the Japanese patrol boats thought they were a grain transport fleet passing by the Ming army. The Ming army had always ignored the Japanese patrol boats, and the enemy had become accustomed to them.

But this time, the Ming army did not take the previous route, but plunged into the inland sea and sailed towards Chikugo Kingdom.

The Japanese army was petrified and hurriedly mobilized the largest ship to report the news to Hakata Port.

Jiang Yuan adopted Liu Gong's suggestion and ignored the Japanese ships that reported the news. Instead, he sent [-] warships to capture Nagasaki, while he continued to advance with the main force of the fleet.

Because by the time the Japanese army finished reporting the letter, the Ming army's landing had already been completed.

On March [-], the main force of the Japanese Navy left Hakata Port and headed for Busan.

Japan has a total of more than a thousand warships. In addition to naval officers and soldiers, it also carries [-] elite soldiers, preparing to land and attack the Ming army's camp in Busan.

On the same day, 5000 Ming troops landed in Saga, Chikugo Province, and quickly moved northward.

On March [-], Japanese troops successfully landed in Busan.

The landings by both sides were very simple, Saga because of neglect of defense, and Pusan ​​because of deliberate lack of defense.

Jiang Yuan wanted to use the empty city strategy, so he took a ruthless step and spent a lot of money to recruit [-] people and move Busan's supplies northward for hundreds of miles.

Then Busan abandoned it.

Although the Japanese army captured Busan, they could neither advance nor retreat.Everyone is here to grab food and supplies, what's the use of just occupying Busan.

The most important thing is that Ming Dynasty has more than one Busan Port in its hands. Seongsan Port on Jeju Island can temporarily replace Busan Port to provide supplies for the Ming army stationed in Japan.

On the same day, news of the Ming army's landing in Saga reached Hakata Port from both sea and land.

Masahiro Ouchi, who was originally very proud, was completely dumbfounded.

Masahiro Ouchi's position has always been very contradictory.

In this battle, the Muromachi shogunate had a chance to win, but it was absolutely impossible for Ouchi Masahiro to win.

Because Masahiro Ouchi, as the guardian daimyo of the Chikuzen Kingdom, sat in Hakata Port and also controlled the trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Ming Dynasty loses, it will not let go of the trade blockade on Hakata Port.On the contrary, you may become angry and get worse.

Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty was defeated, the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty would become a loser, blocked by the Ming Dynasty's trade, and besieged to death.

Besides, Ashikaga Yoshitsune and Ashikaga Yoshimasa father and son were of the same strain, both obsessed with weakening the guardian daimyo and establishing the authority of the shogunate.

If Ashikaga Yoshimasa really defeated the Ming Dynasty, his prestige would be so high that it is unimaginable.

When the time comes, Masahiro Ouchi, as one of the most powerful guardian daimyo, will definitely bear the brunt and is the best candidate to reduce the feudal clan.

This is also the reason why Masahiro Ouchi personally went to Beijing to meet Emperor Jingtai.From the perspective of personal interests and family future, it is really better to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

The outcome of this sneak attack on Busan was that the Ming army was defeated, and the emperor had no choice but to offer better conditions to persuade them to surrender.

At that time, he would accept the conditions and sell his flaws to the Ming army, turning defeat into victory.

After such an operation, how can I be granted a title?It would be better if he could be a native official like the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, similar to a native emperor.

But the idea was good, but it was completely messed up by the Ming army's landing in Saga.

Ouchi Hiroshi thought about it for a full hour before ordering the [-] new troops who stayed at Hakata Port to go south to block the landing Ming army.If you can successfully block it, that would be the best.If the blocking is unsuccessful, it will be pulled down.

Masahiro Ouchi left Hakata Port and took a boat to Zhou Fangguo.I was more careful and gathered the main elites in the territory for peripheral defense.

If the Japanese army wins, he will come back.If you lose, then just defend slowly on the perimeter.

Jiang Yuan and Da Naizheng Hongzhen had the same idea of ​​​​heroes, and they both chose to run away.

At best, it's called avoiding its edge.

On the afternoon of March [-], the Ming army marched to the border of Chiqen State and set up camp.

In the Chinese army's tent, Yue Zheng frowned. This battle was fought without even a map, let alone a sand table.

Although Yue is a civil servant, this is the first time I heard that there is such a war.

Taking a helpless sip of tea, Yue Zheng laughed at himself: "I don't know, I thought we were the champion Hou Huo Qubing. We don't even have a map, so we just bump around like headless flies."

Zhang Ying replied: "Our situation is much better. Although the sea is dangerous, it is not as dangerous as the desert. If you really get lost in the desert, if you are unlucky, you will die of thirst.

As for us, we can at least find water, and the navy can provide us with supplies. "

Yue Zheng asked: "You all should be more careful and restrain the soldiers. According to the words of the Holy One, you must not take away a stitch or a grain of rice from the people.

Anyone who violates military discipline will be beheaded immediately and will not be tolerated. "

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Is it necessary to be so strict? It's just a small country with few people. The guardian daimyo of Japan just grab whatever they want and never cherish the people under their rule."

Liu Hong was very good at chatting. In fact, he knew in his heart that he deliberately changed the topic to praise Yue Zheng.

When Yue Zheng heard this, he responded seriously and said: "That's not what I said. The attitude of the local people is very crucial to victory or defeat.

Originally, the Japanese people were exploited and would not support these guardian daimyo.

For them, it doesn't matter who rules. If Ming Dynasty is lenient, then it doesn't matter if Ming Dynasty rules.

We just want them to keep this idea. The first thing is to restrain military discipline and make sure no mistakes are made.The second step is to divide the land, exempt taxes and win people's hearts.

In this way, if the people's hearts return to the Han Dynasty, they will naturally be invincible.

Otherwise, if we anger the people and cause obstacles for us, we will be in trouble. "

Liu Hong nodded and praised: "You are still far-sighted. My vision is too low for an old man like me. I am used to being domineering in the palace."

Yue Zheng smiled and said: "Liu Gong is too humble. Now the king is wise and the ministers are wise, and the country is strong. You and I are assisting the Holy Lord, so there is no difference.

Take today's inner court as an example, from the Chief of Ceremonies and the Imperial Horse to the lowest level, the Department of Cherishing Salary and the Department of Wine, Vinegar and Noodles. These supervisory offices are all extremely clear-minded, and have greatly changed from the customs of the Xuande and Yuanshou dynasties.

Under the leadership of the Holy Lords of the inner court and the outer dynasty, if we unite as one, the Ming Dynasty will surely be able to restore its prosperity. "

Liu Hong said with a smile: "That's right. Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the inner court has gone through a great purge. The gang members of Wang Zhen, Jin Ying, Xing'an and others have long been purged.

Now in power, except for Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Wang Qin, and Zhang Yong, the four Conglong ministers who came out of Xi's residence, most of the others are the adopted sons of Wang Jin, the eunuch and eunuch of the Xuande Dynasty.

Therefore, the inner court is an extremely rare unity in the past dynasties. The powerful eunuchs no longer scheming and fighting for power among themselves. "

Yue Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this.After some testing, it seemed that the old eunuch Liu Hong was not in the same group as Wang Zhen, Jin Ying, Xing'an and other direct descendants of Yuanshou.But he was not from Wang Jin's family, let alone an old member of Xidi, so how did he gain the emperor's trust?
