Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 118 Cao Wei kills Zhang Zicheng in anger!
Hou Guishan waved away the people who came to report the news, his face was gloomy and he frowned in thought.

After more than 20 years,

Ming Dynasty sent people again.

But this time it was no different than before. In the past, the arrival of envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty was only three or five fleets. It was precisely because of this that Prince Huai Liang would unscrupulously detain the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

However, more than 20 years later, the Ming Dynasty directly led hundreds of warships, including a large-scale treasure ship!
What these warships represent is real combat power!

Moreover, Japan at this time did not have the ability to manufacture treasure ships, so Houguishan would only be more wary of Cao Wei and others arriving this time!
How to deal with it...

While Hou Guishan was thinking, a kneeling figure suddenly appeared in a corner of the hall.

This person had been huddled in the corner, and even the messenger who had just entered the hall was not aware of it, but Emperor Go Kameyama only glanced at him lightly.

This man came a few steps away from Emperor Kameyama and knelt down respectfully, with a flattering smile on his face. However, unlike the faces of most Japanese people, he looked like a Central Plains person.

This person is Zhang Zicheng, the son of Zhang Shicheng who once escaped from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Zicheng fled from the Ming Dynasty to the sea. After arriving in the Japanese country, he went directly to Houguishan and encouraged Houguishan to send Japanese pirates to plunder the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, which allowed Houguishan to gain a lot of benefits.

However, in the past six months, the Ming Dynasty reopened the sea and established a navy to garrison the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. Gradually, nine out of ten Japanese pirates sent out by Houguishan never returned.

Not only did he not gain any more profits, but he also lost a large number of manpower. Hou Guishan also began to become dissatisfied with Zhang Zicheng.

"His Majesty the Emperor, how are you going to deal with those Ming people?" Zhang Zicheng said with a malicious tone.

Zhang Zicheng has lived in Japan for more than 20 years and can already speak fluent Japanese.

He just heard the news of the arrival of the Ming fleet, and he was suddenly panicked. He also knew what a hundred Ming warships could do when they arrived in Japan.

If these Ming people knew of his existence and went back to report to Zhu Yuanzhang, he would have absolutely no way out!

However, Zhang Zicheng still didn't know at this time that his identity had been leaked to Zhu Yuanzhang by Cui Mao, whom he thought had died at sea. This time when Cao Wei and others came to Japan, they would never let him live again... …

After Zhang Zicheng finished speaking, Hou Guishan raised his eyes and asked what he meant.

The flattery on Zhang Zicheng's face became more obvious, and his head lowered a little.

"Your Majesty, there are only a hundred ships coming from the Ming Dynasty this time, and the number of soldiers on the ships is only 3 at most. If your Majesty can kill all these Ming people in one fell swoop, wouldn't you get a hundred warships in vain?"

"In this way, Your Majesty will be able to take the initiative against Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."

Japan has a small territory and lack of resources. Even the largest warship can only accommodate 300 people. Zhang Zicheng did not see the Ming fleet, so he thought that the Ming warships were similar to Japanese warships.

Zhang Zicheng's calculations are crackling here. He just wants to protect himself. It is best for the Ming Dynasty fleet to stay in Japan so that he will not be exposed.

However, Hou Guishan is not a fool. Hearing this, he was furious and said, "Baga! Do you want me to be doomed?"

"Snapped!"

Hou Guishan slapped Zhang Zicheng on the face, which immediately caused it to swell up.

"Get out!"

Zhang Zicheng covered his face, looking a little flustered, and wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Hou Guishan furious, he could only withdraw angrily.

Hou Guishan stared at Zhang Zicheng's leaving figure with a cold glint in his eyes.

This Zhang Zicheng is getting more and more courageous, and he actually wants to use himself as a gunman!

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was a maritime ban for more than 20 years, but the Japanese country did not.

The news that the once powerful Bei Yuan was completely destroyed by the Ming Dynasty had reached the Japanese country some time ago.

Hou Guishan knew that the Ming Dynasty at this time was no longer the Ming Dynasty with unstable national power. It could completely eradicate Bei Yuan. Today's Ming Dynasty is not what it used to be, it is very powerful!

Although the number of naval forces coming from the Ming Dynasty is not particularly large this time, if they can be lured to the interior of Japan and a trap is set, it is indeed possible to catch them all in one fell swoop.

But doing so will completely offend Ming!

The Japanese are extremely ambitious, and Houkiyama is no exception, but he still has a clear head.

If there was no civil strife in Japan at this time, he would naturally have the courage to test Ming's strength and bottom line.

But now Japan is not dominated by his Kameyama family. There is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's shogunate group in the north that is against him. Both sides have been fighting until now, waiting for the other party to be unable to hold on first.

To offend Ming in this situation is undoubtedly to seek death!
The enraged Ming Dynasty didn't even need to do much. He only needed to provide some military support to the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu regime in the north, or to unite with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to deal with him, and the Kameyama side would quickly and completely collapse!

At that time, not to mention the warships, even Hou Guishan's own life will be difficult to save!
The Ming Dynasty's hundred warships are certainly tempting, but if you take them, you may not be able to spend them.

After a long while, Hou Guishan finally thought of a countermeasure and diverted the disaster to the east...

the other side.

Cao Wei, Zhu Di and others set up camp on the shore, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Cao Wei, Zhu Di, and Dao Yan were in the same camp, discussing how to find the Shijianshan silver mine and the mining work.

Suddenly a soldier walked into the tent and reported, "General, the Japanese envoy is here to see me."

Zhu Di and Cao Wei looked at each other.

"finally come!"

"Let him in!"

"No!" the soldier responded and exited the camp.

"I thought they had become more capable, but they still couldn't calm down." Cao Wei said with a smile.

After a while, the soldier walked into the camp with a kimono man with a bun on his head. Zhu Di waved his hand and the soldier exited the camp.

Cao Wei had watched a lot of anti-Japanese dramas in his previous life, but when he saw the thing on this man's head that looked like a child peeing, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

This funny hairstyle in Japan is actually influenced by the Central Plains. Children in the Central Plains once had a hairstyle similar to this, called Zongjiao.

The Japanese state often regarded itself as a vassal state when the Central Plains was strong. In order to show its surrender, it often borrowed some customs from the Central Plains.

This weird bun is the result of a Japanese painting of a tiger that resembles a dog. It was also euphemistically called "a bun". In the Tang Dynasty, there was another name called "Meiliangdou", which was similar to the shape of the bun of the Japanese people at that time. There are some discrepancies.

I saw the Japanese man, who was no more than six feet tall, saluting Zhu Di and others very humbly after entering the tent. He spoke in Central Plains dialect, although it was a little impure, as if he had chewed the insole of a shoe.

"I have seen the Celestial Envoy and heard that the Celestial Envoy has arrived. Emperor Kameyama was so frightened that he specially sent a villain to greet him." The Japanese bowed deeply and said.

The appearance itself was somewhat wretched, but when it shrank, it looked more like a rat that had become a spirit.

Zhu Di ignored his polite words and asked directly: "Who are you?" "My name is Junichiro Koizumi, and I am Guanbai under the throne of Emperor Goguiyama... In the language of the country, it means prime minister. "

Zhu Di sneered and said condescendingly: "It's just a small country that dares to claim to be the emperor. I really don't know what it means."

Junichiro Koizumi was not upset when he heard this. He smiled calmly and said, "This is just our own name as a Japanese country. Don't blame me."

After saying that, he hurriedly said: "Emperor Go Kameyama has made preparations at the palace to welcome the envoy and everyone. Can the envoy please go ahead?"

Zhu Di and Cao Wei exchanged glances, and then said, "Lead the way!"

Junichiro Koizumi said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, please."

Zhu Di and Cao Wei Daoyan, with dozens of soldiers as bodyguards, followed Junichiro Koizumi out of the camp and headed north.

It took five days to wait for a reply from Japan. Cao Wei and the others thought that Houguishan's palace was far away, but they arrived in only two hours.

These Japanese people are still dishonest!
After entering the palace, everything he saw was shoddy and inferior. Zhu Di felt even more contemptuous when he looked at it all.

Is this the residence of the Emperor of Japan? It’s not even as good as his Palace of Prince Yan!
Walking into the main hall, Guishan was already leading his ministers to wait solemnly.

Seeing the arrival of Zhu Di and others, Hou Guishan knelt down in the middle and said, "I wonder what the official position of the envoy of the Great Kingdom is in the Ming Dynasty?"

In the past, the Ming Dynasty envoys who went to Japan as envoys were mostly officials. When Hou Guishan saw the faces of Cao Wei and others, he couldn't help but ask questions and wanted to find out the details.

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "I am the fourth prince of the Ming Emperor, King Yan Zhu Di!"

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, he saw Hou Guishan's face change drastically. He suddenly lost his calmness just now. He quickly got up and stepped on his clogs and came to Zhu Di with a "squeak" and a respectful salute.

"Xicheng, the lord of the lower country, meets His Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty!"

The other ministers who were kneeling in the hall were also startled, and followed Hou Guishan to salute Zhu Di and the others conscientiously.

Emperor Go Kameyama was extremely shocked!
The envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty this time turned out to be Zhu Di, King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty!

It seems that the Ming Dynasty was very angry about the Japanese pirates, otherwise it would not have allowed one of the vassal kings to come and investigate.

If the Ming Dynasty sent ordinary envoys here, Hou Guishan would still be confident that he could handle it, but facing the Yan King Zhu Di in front of him, Hou Guishan would feel unsure!

If someone fails to respond well and offends King Zhu Di of Yan, it will be like having trouble with the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
Unknowingly, cold sweat broke out on Emperor Gogameyama's forehead.

Zhu Di did not say anything, and just let all the Japanese ministers and Hou Guishan in the hall maintain their salute postures.

After half an hour,

Hou Guishan finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked knowingly:

"I wonder why His Highness Prince Yan came to Japan this time?"

"Emperor, you are not old, why are you still forgetful? Didn't I tell you before that we came to the Japanese country this time just to ask for an explanation, why do you frequently send Japanese pirates to attack our coast of the Ming Dynasty?"

Cao Wei, who was standing aside, spoke with a very sharp tone, leaving no room for Hou Guishan to relax.

Emperor Gogeyama complained in his heart and kept bending over. He felt that his waist was almost split in two. However, Zhu Di did not speak, and he did not dare to raise his head easily. He could only grit his teeth and said,
"What does the envoy mean by this? What kind of Japanese pirates? I really don't know!"

"What the envoy said is that they are samurai recruited by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu from among the people and sent out to sea to plunder. This matter has nothing to do with me!"

Go Kameyama chose to divert the trouble to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

However, Zhu Di, who knew the truth, immediately turned cold when he heard this!

This Japanese man is really mean-spirited, never telling the truth in his mouth, and even now he is still being stubborn!
Cao Wei gestured to him to ask him to calm down, and then sternly scolded Hou Guishan.

"How dare you! Now you still dare to quibble!"

Hou Guishan's heart skipped a beat, Cao Wei's tone made him feel a little bad!
"Everything your Majesty and I have said is true!" Hou Guishan could only continue to say bravely.

Cao Wei sneered, "The name Cui Mao should be familiar to you, right?"

"He was captured in our Ming Dynasty. After a short interrogation, he was all arrested. Now...what else do you have to say?"

Houguishan suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning!
He naturally has some impressions of Cui Mao. He fled from the Ming Dynasty to Japan with Zhang Zicheng and took refuge with him.

Later, Hou Guishan sent the Japanese pirates to sea, and based on the principle of making the best use of everything, Zhang Zicheng's men were also sent to sea.

Cui Mao never came back after going to sea last year.

It was not his own manpower. After Cui Mao died, Guishan didn't feel sorry for him at all, but he never expected that Cui Mao would make such a big mistake for himself before he died!

"I was distracted for a moment, please forgive me!" Hou Guishan shouted quickly, his face turned red.

Cao Wei said, "I will settle this account with you later. Cui Mao said that you have a man named Zhang Zicheng here. He is a remnant of my former Ming Dynasty. Please hand him over quickly!"

After hearing this, Hou Guishan immediately responded, and then shouted loudly outside, "Come here, bring Zhang Zicheng to the envoy!"

Zhang Zicheng was a man who escaped from his family as a dog. He had no foundation in the Japanese country. Guishan only kept him because he was of some use.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has a strong navy, it is no longer feasible to send Japanese pirates to sea, and Zhang Zicheng has no effect on Houguishan.

In addition, Zhang Zi acted to protect himself a few days ago and tried to use Hou Guishan as a gunman. Hou Guishan had already had murderous intentions towards him. At this time, he followed Cao Wei's words and handed over Zhang Zicheng. Hou Guishan felt no psychological pressure at all. No.

After a while, there were chaotic footsteps outside the hall. Several Japanese soldiers walked in with a man on their backs, and then threw him heavily on the ground.

Cao Wei and Zhu Di Daoyan turned to look.

"Are you Zhang Zicheng?" Zhu Di asked.

Seeing the situation at this time, Zhang Zicheng knew that he was probably going to be in trouble, and he glared back at Zhu Di fiercely.

"It's your grandpa, how do you treat him?"

Zhu Di naturally couldn't argue with a dying person, so he just looked at him with cold eyes.

Without saying a word, Cao Wei stepped forward and pulled out a short sword from the Japanese soldier on the side. With a flash of cold light, it pierced Zhang Zicheng's chest in front of Zhang Zicheng's horrified eyes.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Zicheng fell heavily to the ground, with large amounts of blood flowing out. He twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

"This kind of person should have died long ago. There is no need to talk nonsense to him!"

As a modern man, Cao Wei hated Japanese people, but he hated traitors like Zhang Zicheng even more.

If a good person doesn't do it, you have to be a dog.

Then you deserve to die!
