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

Chapter 126 Hou Guishan was shocked at how powerful the Ming Dynasty was!

Chapter 126 Hou Guishan was shocked at how powerful the Ming Dynasty was!
Ten miles north of Kobe Castle, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's camp was established here.

In the main tent in the center of the camp, a Japanese man with an upturned bun was sitting on his knees and waiting.

This person was none other than Gokomatsu, the Northern Emperor who was supported by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Compared with Hou Guishan, Hou Xiaosong's figure is slightly wider, but his face always has a gloomy expression.

"call!"

The curtain of the tent was opened, and a person walked in. It was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who had just negotiated peace with Kameyama from the dojo.

Compared with Gokomatsu, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is a bit stronger, maybe over six feet tall.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is covered in armor, with many wooden and bamboo armor pieces hung above the armor. His face is square and square, with a tall aquiline nose that makes him look sharper, and his chin is covered with beard. Stubble.

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Komatsu straightened his upper body.

"General Adachi, how are your discussions with Go Kameyama about peace going?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu grinned,
"After that, Guishan didn't know what was good or bad. The general gave him the opportunity to be a retainer to save his life, but he didn't cherish it."

Hou Xiaosong smiled coquettishly.

Although Go Kameyama was defeated by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he was still the emperor of the Southern Dynasties who was more powerful than anyone else. If you let him be your retainer, no one would be able to bear this kind of thing.

"Go Kameyama does not agree to negotiate peace. What will General Adachi plan next?" Go Komatsu asked, changing the subject.

"Don't be in a hurry. I'm just testing him today. Let him go back and relax for a few days. After that, I will negotiate peace with him. I don't believe he is really that brave and not afraid of death!"

With absolute superiority in force, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has a certain attitude of doing whatever he wants.

Hou Xiaosong frowned, and a hint of worry appeared on his pale face.
"There is a group of Ming troops in the Southern Dynasty. They have not made any movements. I don't know what they want to do."

When mentioning the Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finally changed his expression, no longer the arrogant look.

No matter how confident and arrogant Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is, he cannot help but be deeply afraid when facing the Ming Dynasty, whose territory is countless times larger than his own country.

Especially at this time, the north and south of the Japanese country were in conflict and had not yet been unified. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to take advantage of the situation, this was the best opportunity.

Neither he nor Hou Guishan had any chance of winning when facing Ming Dynasty alone!
"Those people from the Ming Dynasty have been silent since they came to Japan years ago. They don't want to send troops to assist them. Most of the time, Houguishan can't do anything to them, so don't pay attention to them."

"When I, the general, unify Japan, I will expel them."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu seemed to be speaking to Gokomatsu, but also seemed to be comforting himself.

After all, he didn’t want the Houguishan Army and the Ming Army to unite...

In the next five days, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not let his army continue to attack Kobe Town. He once again sent out news that he wanted to negotiate a second peace with Gogameyama.

He also threatened that Hou Guishan should agree to his conditions for the sake of the lives of his soldiers and people.

Go Kameyama was in Kobe Town and was furious when he heard the news!

He knew that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was preparing to use public opinion to put pressure on himself, but for the time being, he had no good solution.

At this time, Go Kameyama suddenly hoped that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could continue to attack, at least then his soldiers would not have time to think too much.

Seeing that he had become a fatuous emperor who did not care about his people, just when Houguishan was in a state of panic, soldiers came to report, and the envoy of the Ming Dynasty came to see him.

After a brief period of shock, Hou Guishan became ecstatic!
Could it be that the reinforcements Zhu Di once said have arrived?
He once thought that the reinforcements mentioned by Zhu Di were deceiving him, but because of his lack of strength, he pinched his nose and accepted it, and did not dare to explode.

At this juncture, Zhu Di sent someone to see him. Could it be that...

Gogeyama, who was feeling anxious and uneasy, hurried to the reception hall of Kobe Town.

Monk Dao Yan was already sitting there leisurely drinking tea.

"My lord envoy!"

Hou Guishan shouted excitedly, and then quickly put on a respectful look and saluted.

"My subordinate, Xicheng, has met the superior envoy. The superior envoy came to see me at this time. Could it be that..."

Dao Yan narrowed his triangular eyes and looked at him with a smile.

“Kingdom Lord Xicheng’s guess is right, our reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived!”

"Really?!" Hou Guishan asked in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Zhu Di didn't lie to him and actually called him reinforcements!
At this moment,

Hou Guishan was deeply moved and felt a little guilty in his heart!
For a long time, he sent Japanese pirates to plunder the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di did not settle the debt with him, and even called for reinforcements to help him when he was in crisis!

Is this the magnanimity of the Heavenly Kingdom?
Hou Guishan sighed in his heart, feeling ashamed.

If he had the opportunity to unify Japan, he would definitely pay the compensation owed according to Zhu Di's requirements.

"Your Majesty, the envoy is so kind, and I am deeply grateful!"

As Hou Guishan spoke, he knelt down and knelt down, knocking his head on the ground with a "thud" sound. Dao Yan raised his eyebrows.

"The poor monk went to the Yoshino Palace to meet the King Xicheng a few days ago, but the King Xicheng had already left, so the poor monk had to go all the way to Kobe Town."

"This time I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, have sent an elite army of [-] people. Your Highness, King Yan, can lend it to Lord Xicheng to regain the lost territory. The [-]-strong army has already set off after the poor monk left. It must have gone halfway by now."

After Dao Yan finished speaking, Hou Guishan excitedly kowtowed twice.

"I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty, and I would like to thank the Imperial Envoy!"

Daoyan smiled and nodded. Regardless of whether Hou Guishan was sincere or fake, this respectful look really made people feel comfortable.

"Master Xicheng, after I arrived here, I heard that the Adachi clan of the Northern Dynasty was negotiating peace with you?" Daoyan suddenly asked.

Hou Guishan, who was kneeling on the ground with his butt stuck out, was startled, and then he gritted his teeth and his whole face was twisted ferociously.

"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has bullied me too much. The peace talks are just a pretense. He just wants to humiliate me. When the reinforcements from the higher country arrive, I will counterattack and make sure Ashikaga Yoshimitsu dies without a burial place!"

Daoyan understood and felt relieved a little.

When he first arrived here, he was really worried when he heard the news that the two sides had negotiated a peace.

If the north and south of Japan were unified, the Ming Dynasty's task of mining silver mines and occupying gold mines would inevitably encounter considerable resistance.

However, looking at Kameyama now, he wanted to skin Ashikaga Yoshimitsu alive, and the two sides would only continue to fight to the death.

Afterwards, Dao Yan stood up directly, put a palm on his chest, and said,
"Amitabha, the poor monk has brought the news and will not stay here for long. The poor monk has to go back to meet His Highness King Yan."

"Lord Xicheng, you only need to wait a few days for our Ming Dynasty's elite army to arrive before we can start our counterattack."

After hearing this, Kameyama stood up quickly and wanted to keep Doyan to rest for one night in Kobe Town, but in the end Doyan refused. He could only send Doyan out of the city of Kobe Town with nods and bows.

……

For more than ten days, Houguishan waited extremely anxiously for the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu repeatedly requested another peace negotiation, but Go Kameyama could only delay it again and again.

It was impossible to negotiate a peace, but before the Ming reinforcements arrived, Go Kameyama did not want to start a fight directly, let alone humiliate Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Dao Yan clearly said that he only had to wait a few days, but now more than ten days have passed, but Ming's reinforcements have not arrived.Once again, he pretended to be ill to shirk Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's request for peace. Go Kameyama was already exhausted mentally and physically.

"His Majesty--!"

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, a soldier rushed in in a hurry.

Houguishan was in a bad mood and opened his mouth to curse, but after hearing what the soldier said, he closed his mouth.

"Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty's reinforcements are coming!"

Hou Guishan stood up quickly and rushed out at an even faster speed.

Arriving at the south-facing city wall of Kobe Town, Houguishan saw the mighty Ming army coming here.

However, when the Ming Dynasty's [-]-strong army approached Kobe Town, after Kameyama saw clearly, his eyes widened in disbelief.

On the road at the foot of Mount Ibuki, the Ming Dynasty's [-]-strong army formed a square formation, advancing step by step.

Under the sunlight, the fine steel armor worn by the Ming soldiers reflected the bright light.

This [-]-strong army was covered in fine steel armor, leaving only their eyes, mouth and nose. They looked like ghost warriors crawling out of hell!
"This...is this the Ming Dynasty's elite army?"

Houguishan's eyes widened and he murmured to himself.

The Ming Dynasty's [-]-strong army had arrived at the city. Their orderly footsteps made Houguishan suddenly feel an indescribable sense of oppression!
"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu led his army to attack Kobe Town without breaking through for nearly a month.

However, Go Kameyama felt that if the Ming Dynasty's elite troops were allowed to attack, Kobe Town would not be able to hold on for even ten days!
At this time, the steel-making technology of the Japanese country was inferior to the original steel-making technology of the Ming Dynasty. Later Guishan only thought that the armors worn by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all made of iron.

But... the Japanese country couldn't even produce so many iron armors at once!

Hou Guishan was filled with shock!
The national power of Ming Dynasty is unfathomable!

Daming’s strength is so terrifying!
After the shock, Hou Guishan shouted with joy,
"Hurry up and open the city gate. I want to greet the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in person."

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the city.

The city gate was slowly opened, and Hou Guishan squeezed out directly. At this time, Ming's army was forced to the city gate.

At the front of the army, the leader was Qin Shan. When he saw Hou Guishan coming out, looking at his clothes and the reaction of the people behind him, Qin Shan guessed his identity, but he did not dismount, but asked seriously.

"Are you the Lord of Xicheng?"

After being translated by Junichiro Koizumi, Go Kameyama nodded repeatedly.

"I am Queen Kameyama of Emperor Yamato, and I am here to greet the warriors of the Ming Dynasty."

As they got closer, Hou Guishan felt more and more that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all taller and taller than them.

This shows that in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the masters like Zhu Di, the people of the Ming Dynasty can also have enough to eat, at least they will not go hungry, otherwise they would not have such a strong body.

In this era, not only the Ming Dynasty was short of food, but the Japanese country with small land was even more so.

Compared with the poverty of the Japanese country, most of the people in the Japanese country could only eat one meal after another. Hou Guishan's heart was filled with blazing jealousy.

In his eyes, Ming Dynasty seemed to have become a kingdom of abundance.

Qin Shan nodded slightly,

"We have been ordered by His Highness King Yan to assist Lord Xicheng in his fight against the Northern Dynasty army. When will we go to war?"

Hou Guishan raised his head and waved his hand.

"No hurry, no hurry, the warriors of the Ming Dynasty have been on the road for days. Let's take a rest today and wait until tomorrow."

Qinshan knew that there was nothing he could do, so he ordered the entire army to be stationed on the spot.

The size of Kobe Town's city was really not that big. The Ming Dynasty's [-]-strong army could not be accommodated in the city, so they had to be stationed outside the city.

Hou Guishan looked at the Ming soldiers who were busy setting up camp, and felt full of security.

It seems that with this [-]-strong army, it is not impossible to not only recover the lost territory, but also to defeat Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and complete the unification of Yamato.

At this time, Qin Shan came over.

"Master Xicheng, my soldiers have been coming all the way these days, and they haven't had a hot meal for several days..."

Hou Guishan shouted immediately without waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Come here, bring the food from the city and feed the warriors of the Ming Dynasty."

Although Go Kameyama did not have much military rations at this time, he did not care about this small loss in order to defeat Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Not long after, Japanese soldiers brought cart after cart of food from the city, mostly brown rice and coarse flour, with some bran mixed in.

Qin Shan didn't say much, he just asked his soldiers to start making food. After a while, the whole camp was filled with smoke...

Silent all night.

The next day.

Before the morning fog in the mountains and forests dissipated, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu once again sent soldiers to the city to call for peace, and it was still a matter of peace.

However, after calling the city gate for a long time, no one responded. In the past, even if Hou Guishan could not avoid it, he would give an excuse, although that excuse was simply untenable.

But this time, despite the soldiers calling outside the city for a long time, not even a bird was seen. The soldiers felt something was strange and returned to the Northern Dynasty camp to report to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu heard this, he slapped the soldier so hard that he was stunned.

"Idiot, they shouldn't be cowardly and have evil intentions in their hearts. How dare you come back without getting an answer!"

The soldier was so frightened that he quickly fell to the ground to plead guilty. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu snorted coldly,
"No need for you idiots, I, the general, will go in person!"

After saying that, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu mounted his horse, whipped it, and single-handedly reached a distance of more than ten feet in front of the gate of Kobe Town, shouting.

"Cowardly Hou Guishan! Stop hiding! There is no point in escaping! The general can relax the conditions. You can quickly come out of the city to negotiate peace with the general!"

"My general's patience is limited! Now that you have exhausted my patience, get out of the city quickly! Otherwise, my general will directly attack with his troops and destroy your city!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finished shouting powerfully, but still no one came out to answer.

Just when he was about to curse again, a voice suddenly came from the top of the city. It was from Goguiyama, causing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to look up.

"To discuss peace, I will discuss your mother!"

Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was furious!
But the next moment, the city gate in front of him slowly opened. When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw a large number of soldiers pouring out of the city and rushing towards him like a tide, his face changed drastically, he turned around and fled.
