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

Chapter 125 Ashikaga Yoshimitsu’s humiliation, Go Kameyama’s anger!
After leaving the Ming army's main camp, Hou Guishan's face darkened and his eyes were full of anger.

This time he traveled ten days across mountains and rivers to reach Shijian Mountain. Not only was he humiliated by Ming soldiers, but Zhu Di treated him with a condescending attitude.

And in the end, Zhu Di rejected his request for help and made his trip in vain. This made Hou Guishan, who had always been in a high position, extremely angry!
Junichiro Koizumi, who was next to Go Kameyama, was also angry at the humiliation his master Go Kameyama suffered in the Ming army camp!
At this time, Hou Guishan left the main tent, and Zhu Di didn't even send anyone out to see them off. This was obviously looking down on them!

"Your Majesty, these Ming people are so arrogant. I'm afraid they don't really think about us. Most of the reinforcements they talk about are also fake."

As Junichiro Koizumi walked, seeing no one around, he whispered to Kameyama.

"We helped them several times, but they treated us with this attitude. There is a saying in the Central Plains, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. The Ming Army's [-]-strong navy is also a considerable fighting force. His Majesty the Emperor can raise a large army. Come attack and force them to help us.”

This is the bad nature of the Japanese people. They can turn a blind eye to the evil things they have done and the crimes they have committed.

Obviously they had sent Japanese pirates to harass the coastal areas of Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, but now they are talking like they are good and upright people!
The Japanese people's ability to deceive themselves and others has become their national characteristic.

If Cao Wei heard what Junichiro Koizumi said, he would definitely be more determined to destroy the Japanese country!
No matter in the previous life or in this life, the Japanese people are really too shameless!

Hou Guishan rolled his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Of course I know that the reinforcements Zhu Di said are unreliable, but there is a saying in the Central Plains that it is better to believe in their presence than in their absence."

"The Ming Dynasty only has [-] navy at this time. If I attack with a large army, although I will have to pay a heavy price, it won't be a problem to capture them."

"But we cannot provoke the Ming Dynasty unless we have to. If the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements really arrive, we will be shooting ourselves in the foot."

"Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is strong, I am not someone to be bullied. I order the army to guard and defend to the death. It is not difficult to hold on in the county for a month or two."

"When the time comes... I'll come find these Ming people again and see what else they can say!"

The angry Goguishan took Junichiro Koizumi out of the Ming military camp and looked back with a sinister look.

Behind the heavily guarded camp of the Ming army, there is the Shijian Mountain Range, which is lush all year round. At a glance, you can't see the end at all, only the majestic mountains can be seen.

And in the mountain forest, halfway up the mountain, a spiritual platform was built among the deep forest and dense trees, which was very conspicuous.

This spiritual platform cost Houguishan 40 taels of silver!

Thinking of this, Hou Guishan immediately gritted his teeth!

He looked at the figures of Ming soldiers looming in the forest and said fiercely,
"One day, I will make you all regret it!"

Then, he left without looking back.

After returning to the Yoshino Palace, Kameyama issued an order to conduct a large-scale search for strong men in the territory under his control and sent them to the front lines of the county for defense.

At this time, Hou Guishan still had more than 30 troops in his hands. These troops already belonged to his coffin, and he would feel distressed for a long time if he died.

The young man he captured died as a matter of fact, and Hou Guishan didn't feel sorry for him at all.

Anyway, if he loses, the Japanese people who are ruled by him will definitely not have a good life. They might as well sacrifice their lives for their Emperor in advance.

In Gogeyama's expectation, according to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's usual military offensive, he recruited a large number of strong men, and coupled with his own army, it was not a problem to hold on to the county for a month or two.

But on the third day after Hou Guishan returned from the Daming Military Camp at Shijian Mountain, the offensive of the Northern Dynasty army suddenly became fierce, attacking day and night!
Although in comparison, the defending side holding the city has the advantage, when the enemy's troops are too strong, the defending side will only become more passive.

This was the case in Houguishan. The strong men he sent everywhere to search for them turned into confused flies and soft-legged shrimps on the battlefield. Not only did they have no effect, but they sometimes dragged down the army and caused heavy casualties.

Just one month has passed, and the strong defense line of the county that Houguishan originally expected is already in danger!

Casualty reports continued to be sent from the Gunjo front line to Yoshino Palace. In one month, nearly 1 men died, and then Kameyama's army also suffered [-] casualties!
You know, Houguishan is fighting a defensive battle!Such casualties allow people to clearly see the battlefield situation. Although Houguishan's army suffered little damage, more than 1 scapegoats died!
Under the fierce attack of the Adachi Clan's army in the Northern Dynasty, Go Kameyama could not hold out for long.

Another ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

As thousands of soldiers of Go-Kameyama's army were lost again, the county's defense line was completely broken. Go-Kameyama's army could only flee in a hurry and retreat to Kobe Town with Mount Ibuki at its back.

Time came to July.

The army sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Japan for the second time finally approached the Japanese island after two months of sailing.

According to the Kan map simply made by Cao Wei, they easily found Shijian Mountain and the Ming Dynasty warship group anchored on the west coast of Shijian Mountain.

Most of the warships of the Ming Dynasty were of the same form, and Zhu Di placed scouts everywhere around Shijian Mountain to guard them.

When they saw the Ming Dynasty's large fleet arriving on the coast, the scouts rushed to report to Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di heard the news, he and Dao Yan looked at each other.

They had previously deceived Houguishan that the Ming Dynasty would send troops, but they did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually send more troops again.

According to the scouts' report, the number of warships at sea was no less than the number of their previous warships, which means that the Ming army sent by Zhu Yuanzhang this time was at least [-]!
For such a big move, Zhu Di naturally had to go personally to handle it and arrange everything properly.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not send tens of thousands more troops to the Japanese country for no reason. There must be Zhu Yuanzhang's decree for him on the fleet.

Father, is... he wants to replace the Japanese country?
Zhu Di is worthy of being the most similar to Zhu Yuanzhang among his many descendants, and he soon saw his true intentions from Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.

Taking dozens of soldiers all the way to some docks on the south side of Ishimi Mountain, Zhu Di looked at the sea and quietly waited for the fleet to approach.

More than 100 Ming warships joined together, riding the wind and waves with great power, overwhelmingly pressing towards the coast. Even Zhu Di was shocked when he saw this scene.

at last,

The fleet approached the shore, lowered the anchor, and then lowered the ladder, and the soldiers landed one after another.

One of the generals in armor came to Zhu Di and bowed his hands respectfully.

"The last general, Qin Shan, has met His Highness King Yan."

I have some impressions of this Qinshan Zhu Di. He was the nephew of Qin Kui, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry. After joining the army, he made military exploits with Fu Youde, the Duke of Ji State. He was awarded the title of General of Wude by Zhu Yuanzhang based on his merits. He led a thousand households and was a fifth-grade official.

"No need to be polite," Zhu Di said.

Qin Shan immediately took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Zhu Di.

"This is the decree that His Majesty will entrust to His Highness King Yan at the end of his life. Please take a look at it."

Zhu Di took the imperial edict, opened it and looked at it carefully.

As mentioned above, Zhu Di was asked to send troops to assist Houguishan, causing the northern and southern dynasties of Japan to fight each other and consume their strength. When the Ming Dynasty could gain the dominant advantage, it could also capture the gold mines in the northern part of Japan.

Gold mine!

Zhu Di's pupils suddenly shrank. There are actually gold mines in the northern part of Japan?He led his fleet to Japan and stationed it only in the Southern Dynasties. No one knew what was going on in the north of Japan. How did Zhu Yuanzhang know that there were gold mines in the north of Japan?

Suddenly, Zhu Di thought of Cao Wei, and suddenly he understood...

This is probably what Cao Wei said about the "outstanding master".

The significance of gold mines is much more important than silver mines.

A silver mine, plus a gold mine...

This Cao Wei is really like an endless treasure...

Zhu Di raised the corners of his mouth, shook his head and smiled, put away the imperial edict, and ordered to Qin Shan:

"Half of the ships you brought this time will dock here, and the other half will dock in the mountain stream of Ishimi Mountain, and then gather at the camp."

Zhu Di then said to the two soldiers beside him, "You two, follow Qin Qianhu and lead them to Shijian Mountain."

The two soldiers surrendered their orders.

An army of 143, plus [-] craftsmen, and several ships carrying the craftsmen's mining equipment and silver-refining furnaces, a total of [-] warships.

By the time Qin Shan had arranged everything according to Zhu Di's instructions, it was already the next day...

the other side,
At the Yoshino Palace in Goguishan, a letter from the Northern Dynasties immediately made the entire palace excited.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sent someone from the battlefield of Kobe Town to bring a letter to Go Kameyama, and the content of the letter was indeed prepared to negotiate peace with Go Kameyama.

After learning the news, all the ministers under Go Kameyama declared that this must be Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's trap!
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu already has an absolute advantage. As long as he continues to exert pressure on the Southern Dynasty of Kameyama, the final victory will definitely belong to the Adachi clan of the Northern Dynasty. Why contact him to negotiate peace at this time?
For a time, the entire palace was filled with shouts and curses like "Baga".

In their opinion, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu regarded them all as fools.

However, Go Kameyama felt that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu chose to negotiate peace at this time, and there was actually a certain reason for it.

Now the Southern Dynasty government could no longer withstand the fierce attack of the Northern Dynasty army, and it had become a camel that would be crushed to death if one more straw came.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu must have seen this, and he also did not want to waste more of his own troops, and wanted to complete the unification of the entire Japanese country without bloodshed through peace negotiations.

Houguishan was very confused.

Do you really want to bow to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu like this?
Is it impossible to complete the great mission of restoring the royal family by oneself?

Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu openly supported Emperor Gokomatsu, Go Kameyama knew that Gokomatsu was just a puppet, and the Adachi clan was actually in power.

Gokomatsukora had the title of emperor, but it only made the royal family even more humiliated!

In fact, Hou Guishan's thinking this way was just self-comfort and self-deception. Even if Hou Xiaosong was in power in the Northern Dynasty, the two sides would still be opposed because of conflicts of interest.

But at this time, Houguishan seemed to be at the end of its rope.

Gero retreated to the county. The county was captured and the army fled to Kobe Town. What if they were defeated again?Where can the front retreat?

Is it possible to retreat to the door of his Yoshino palace?
Go Kameyama did not want to admit defeat, but the situation was stronger than others. He forcefully suppressed the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and announced that he was going to try to negotiate with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

In the final analysis, peace negotiations are about business between the two parties. If they can agree on the agreement, they will make peace. If they cannot agree on the agreement, they will have to fight to the end.

Although most of the Japanese ministers in the Manchu Dynasty were opposed to Go Kameyama going to negotiate peace, because they felt that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu must have set a trap and was waiting for Go Kameyama.

But after enough, Kameyama finally decided to go to Kobe Town to discuss with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

The next day.

Then Kameyama packed up everything, rode a carriage and drove on a starry night, arriving at Kobe Town.

Kamiya Town is a city with Mount Ibuki on its back, and is larger than Gero and Gunjo.

However, if Cao Wei or Zhu Di were here, they would only laugh. No wonder the County Council was defeated by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in only two months.

Even the towns of Japan were built in such a small style. The city wall was only half the height of the Ming Dynasty city wall, and even the thickness of the city wall was not satisfactory.

The important towns and fortresses of the Ming Dynasty were often built to be dozens of feet high and dozens of feet wide. The entire city wall was almost square and extremely solid.

However, the city of Japan was just like a house, and there was no trace of it being an important town or fortress.

If a city wall like this was placed in the Ming Dynasty, let alone two months, it might not even be able to hold on for one month.

In fact, there is a reason why the buildings in Japan are low. As an island country, Japan has frequent earthquakes and volcanoes, and tsunamis from time to time.

In the face of various natural disasters, the Japanese people had no power to resist at all, and could only allow the horrific earthquakes and tsunamis to destroy the houses and cities they built.

As time passed, the Japanese people stopped building tall city walls because they knew that even if they built solid walls to block powerful enemies, an earthquake would be enough to destroy everything. They might as well save some energy and money. Even houses in Japan rarely have more than two floors.

No wonder Zhu Di looked down on them when he first arrived in Japan.

In the Ming Dynasty, any landowner's home would have a two- or three-story attic. The Yoshino Palace of Emperor Kameyama of Japan was only two or three stories high.

In such a comparison, the Japanese country has become a place where birds can't poop if they want anything.

After Kameyama came to Kobe Town, he sent a message to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and the two agreed to discuss peace matters in a dojo outside Kobe Town.

Witnessed by hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides, Go Kameyama and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu entered the dojo alone.

After a long time, the two of them came out at the same time.

You can tell by looking at the faces of the two of them that this first peace negotiation did not go well.

Kameyama returned to Kobe Town and angrily smashed everything in the house to pieces!

"Damn it! Ashikaga Yoshimitsu! He is really bullying someone! He actually wants me to be his retainer for generations to come!"

At this time, the retainers of the Japanese state were just like the housekeepers in Cao Wei's house, and even their status was much inferior. They were similar to slaves, letting their master live and die.

Go Kameyama originally thought that even if he bowed to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the other party should make him a minister, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu humiliated him by forcing Go Kameyama to become his retainer, which made Go Kameyama unbearable. !

He is afraid of death, but he must not bring shame to the family's honor!

"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu! You humiliate me like this, I will fight you to the end with all my strength!"
