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

Chapter 147 Hou Guishan’s little trick?Stupid as a Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Di nodded slowly when he heard this.

What Dao Yan thought was basically consistent with his guess.

Also, now that two years have passed, I, a majestic King of Yan, stay motionless in a place like Shijian Mountain, which is really suspicious.

only……

Zhu Di turned his head and looked at a mine not far from the mountainside.

Under the cover of some trees, craftsmen were coming in and out of the mine entrance. From time to time, someone pushed a cart out of the mine, and the cart was piled with mined silver stones.

These silver stones were then sent to the smelting place in the center of the military camp for smelting, and turned into a pound of silver.

This silver... can only be from the Ming Dynasty!
Such an important and huge silver mine would be fine if it were in the Ming Dynasty, but it happened to be on the territory of the ambitious Japanese people. How could it not be treated with caution?
Why doesn't Zhu Di want to return to Ming Dynasty?
He has not seen his princess or his son for two years.

In the wild forest of Ishimi Mountain, there is not even a place to relax while drinking flower wine.

But the benefits of the Shijian Silver Mine were too great and too important to the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Di had to sit here at all times.

According to Cao Wei, the Shijian Silver Mine can continue to be mined for 400 years and can produce up to [-] tons of silver every year.

Such huge interests must be strictly guarded against!
Not only did he have to sit in position at Iwami Mountain, he also wanted to ensure that the news about the Iwami Silver Mine was not spread as much as possible.

Zhu Di is the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty and the prince whom Zhu Yuanzhang relies on. His duty at this time is to firmly guard the Shijian Silver Mine for the Ming Dynasty.

However, Hou Guishan was not a fool after all. He noticed the doubts from the clues, so he came up with this test called military training.

Both Zhu Di and Daoyan Mahe knew very well what Hou Guishan was thinking. The Japanese country was full of mountains and forests, so why did Hou Guishan train here at Shijian Mountain?
"In this case, His Highness should order the soldiers to be more vigilant to prevent these Japanese people from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble." Ma He gave a suggestion.

"It's natural. If you pass the order, the patrol team in the camp will send an additional 2 people to the east side. They must be guarded by the king. Not even a fly can be let in! Anyone who breaks into the camp without mercy will be killed without mercy! "Zhu Di's tone was full of murderous intent!
If Hou Guishan can be more honest, that's it. If he insists on asking for trouble, Zhu Di will also ask Hou Guishan to learn what the Ming Dynasty cavalry is!

"promise!"

Ma He responded, turned around and left to arrange the arrangements.

After Dao Yan looked eastward for a while, he suddenly said to Zhu Di,

"Your Highness, the poor monk feels that not only the east side should be strengthened, but also the west side of Ishimi Mountain should be sent to keep an eye on it."

Zhu Di looked startled.
"The west side? The west side of Iwami Mountain is adjacent to the sea. It is full of cliffs. It is extremely dangerous for ordinary people to land from there."

Daoyan nodded,
"Your Highness is right, but everything depends on man-made things. We must be on guard."

Although it is dangerous, it is impossible to resist Hou Guishan's real intention. If Hou Guishan really spends money, it is not impossible to go ashore from the west side even at the risk of some lives.

Zhu Di thought for a moment and said:

"The master's warning is correct. Then send [-] soldiers to guard the west side. If anyone does come ashore from the west side, just throw them into the sea to feed the fish."

The cliff facing the sea on the west side of Iwami Mountain is not easy to climb. Even if someone comes ashore from there, there will definitely not be too many. Ten thousand soldiers are more than enough to defend and kill, so naturally they will kill without any scruples.

Daoyan plucked his rosary beads and chanted a Buddhist chant, "Good, good, good."

A moment later, Zhu Di issued another order, and [-] navy elites lined up neatly up the mountain, heading towards the west side of Ishimi Mountain...

the other side,
In the camp of the Japanese Southern Dynasty.

One hundred thousand Japanese soldiers were practicing physical skills with "hoo" and "ha", several groups of cavalry were shuttled through the mountains and forests, and two military formations were playing games with each other.

It seems that these [-] Japanese soldiers are really here to train.

However, outside the Japanese camp, in a dense forest less than two miles away from the Ming camp, Inoue Toyama, who was in charge of this military training, was watching the Ming camp from a distance with several personal guards.

Inoue Toyama's ancestors had always served his ancestor Go-Kameyama, and they never gave in when they were suppressed by the Adachi clan's shogunate group.

Today, Inoue Kotomiyama has also experienced many hardships and has become a general under Go Kameyama.

This military training task was handed over to Inoue Tomiyama by Goguishan. He said it was military training, but in fact it was just to confuse these Ming people.

Inoue Toyama completed his task very well. The one hundred thousand troops drilled vigorously, and the shouts in the military camp could even be heard for several miles.

However, whether this is useful or not depends on the reaction of those Ming people.

After arranging everything, Inoue Toyama took several personal guards and hid in the dense forest less than two miles away from the Ming Dynasty military camp to observe quietly.

The distance between two miles is not too far, but it is not close either. The scene inside the Ming army camp can only be seen roughly, it is extremely blurry.

But this is already the limit, and if you go any further, you will most likely be exposed.

Inoue Toyama widened his eyes, trying to see more clearly, but his eyes easily became sour as long as he stared for a long time.

He finally couldn't help but lower his head to relieve himself and let the guards around him continue to watch closely.

After a while, a personal guard next to Inoue Toyama suddenly shouted in a low voice:

"Look, general!"

Inoue Toyama rubbed his eyes again and quickly raised his head.

The number of people that could be seen in the military camp opposite suddenly increased a lot, and then they started to wander around the edge.

Inoue Toyama knew that this was an increase in patrols by the Ming Dynasty people. Looking at it like this, there was almost one post every three steps, and one sentry every five steps, which was airtight!

However, seeing this scene, Inoue Tomiyama became excited.

These Ming people have fallen into a trap!

"These Ming people are nothing more than that! Hmph!"

Inoue Toyama said contemptuously, and then led his guards to retreat back.

Their goal has been achieved, and now they need to send the news back to Yoshino Palace and ask Kameyama for instructions on what to do next...

With the messengers hurrying on their way, six days later, Houguishan learned everything about what happened in Shijianshan...

The side hall of Yoshino Palace,

"Hahahaha, Zhu Di has always looked aloof. I thought he was so powerful, but he turned out to be so stupid. I tried a little trick, but he was led by the nose, hahahaha!"

Hou Guishan looked at the secret letter in his hand and laughed.

At this time, Junichiro Koizumi came after hearing the news, and Kameyama showed him the secret letter.

After reading it, Junichiro Koizumi also looked happy and bowed respectfully towards Go Kameyama.

"Your Majesty, those Ming people have fallen into the trap and deployed all their defensive forces on the east side of the military camp. The west side of Shijian Mountain must be empty. This is a great opportunity!"

Hou Guishan nodded, with a smile on his face.

"I thought it would be a little troublesome, but I didn't expect these Ming people to be so brainless."

"Okay! It's time for the warriors you recruited earlier to set off. Tell them that when they find out what these Ming people are doing in Shijian Mountain, I will reward them heavily!" "Yes!"

Koizumi Junichiro bowed again without any delay, and then left the side hall and found a dozen samurai he had recruited before.

However, Junichiro Koizumi did not directly ask them to go to Iwamiyama, but ordered everyone to meet with Inoue Tomiyama first.

Seventeen warriors set out immediately,
After eight days of journey, we successfully arrived at the Nanchao camp.

Inoue Toyama received seventeen samurai, and after learning Go Kameyama's true intention, he couldn't help but express his admiration.

"His Majesty the Emperor is truly a god. He could come up with such a thorough plan. How could those Ming people guess it?"

"You guys have a night's rest in the military camp. Tomorrow the Japanese general will lead his troops out of the camp for training, so you can take this opportunity to go around..."

The samurai had nothing to do and agreed.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Before the morning fog in the mountain forest had dissipated, Inoue Toyama gathered [-] cavalrymen in the camp and slowly approached the Ming Dynasty military camp.

Arriving two miles away from the Ming army camp, Inoue Toyama began to drill his soldiers, and suddenly there was a loud shout!
Due to the morning fog, the scene two miles away from the Daming military camp could not be seen clearly, but when he heard the shouts, Ma He immediately led a team of elites out of the camp to check.

Rushing closer, Ma He saw the Japanese soldiers and Inoue Toyama who were training enthusiastically.

Ma He has always been with Zhu Di and has no reputation, but how can a person who can serve as a guard of King Yan be a kind person?

He immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted loudly!
"Don't you know that this is the Ming army camp? Why are you making so much noise here? Are you here to cause trouble?"

While Ma He was talking, a steady stream of soldiers came from behind to support him.

They didn't know exactly what happened, but they were careful.

Seeing this scene, Inoue Toyama knew that his goal had been achieved, and quickly stepped forward to ease the situation.

"Your Majesty, calm down your anger. I came here to train troops on the order of the Emperor of Japan. I led the cavalry out of the camp today to practice. I couldn't see the road due to the heavy fog in the mountains, so I accidentally bumped into this place. It was really unintentional. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

When Ma He heard this, he didn't show mercy to him at all and snorted coldly.
"Hmph! In that case, I will not hold you accountable for your crimes today and leave quickly! If you anger my Highness, you will not be able to bear the consequences!"

Ma Heyi's bossy attitude made Inoue Toyama furious!
But for the task assigned to him by Hou Guishan, he had to force out a smile and salute Ma He respectfully.

"Yes, yes! Don't worry, sir, we will leave now!"

Turning his head, Inoue Toyama's face was extremely gloomy.
"Back to camp!"

After hearing the order, the [-] cavalrymen began to shrink their formation and then returned along the road.

"Your Majesty, I have to take my leave."

Inoue Toyama bowed his hand to Mahe, then turned his horse's head and left.

It wasn't until Inoue Toyama's figure was shrouded in forest fog again that Ma He led his soldiers back to the military camp.

When they arrived at the military camp, Ma He saw Zhu Di and Dao Yan waiting out.

Ma He turned over and dismounted, came to Zhu Di, and saluted with his hands in hand.

"Your Highness."

"Are they those Japanese soldiers?" Apparently Zhu Di had already made a rough guess.

Ma He then recounted everything that had happened outside the military camp.

After hearing this, Zhu Di raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hmph, trying to hide something..."

"They made such a move today just to confuse us. Someone must have started taking action elsewhere." Ma He said aloud.

Dao Yan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. His Highness has made all preparations. Those people are just seeking their own death and are not worthy of the Dao."

……

the other side,
Inoue Toyama led [-] cavalry back to the camp and immediately found the seventeen warriors.

"After this commotion, those Ming people will definitely guard the eastern part of the military camp, and your chance will come!"

One of the warriors looked proud,
"These people of Ming Dynasty are nothing more than that. They won't be delayed easily. Let's set off right away. I will definitely be able to complete the mission entrusted to us by His Majesty the Emperor!"

Inoue Toyama did not hesitate, and immediately sent a few soldiers to send seventeen samurai all the way to the coast south of Iwami Mountain, where there were already people waiting, holding two small boats.

The seventeen samurai completed the handover with the waiting people. Instead of taking any rash action, they guarded the boat until dusk grew darker, then rowed the boat around the coast towards the west side of Iwami Mountain.

"Wow~ wow..."

The sea was much rougher at night than during the day. Fortunately, the seventeen samurai's boat-building skills were good. It took two hours to finally reach the west side of Iwami Mountain.

It was already late at night, and only the faint glow of the moonlight allowed them to vaguely see the mountain.

After being beaten by waves all the year round, the mountainside of Mount Iwami facing the sea has become very steep. If you want to climb Mount Iwami from bottom to top, even these strong warriors have to be extremely careful!
If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces!

The seventeen warriors found a corner where they could land, and began to climb up the mountain.

They obviously have a unique secret method to being able to make no sound while climbing.

However, the mountain, which has been exposed to wind, sun and waves all year round, is not as strong as it seems.

When a warrior was grabbing upwards, the stone suddenly fell off, and without any protection, he fell directly down the cliff!

"Snapped!"

Without even a scream, the warrior rolled down the cliff of the mountain several times and fell heavily into the sea. The other warriors even heard the sound of bones cracking when the man fell on the cliff!
Falling into the sea from such a height, if no one comes to rescue him, the samurai will definitely die.

However, everyone is just a makeshift team, who will save him?

The remaining 16 people continued to climb up, as if the man falling into the sea had never happened, but their movements became more cautious.

The cliff at Mount Iwami was about [-] meters long. It took half an hour for the sixteen warriors to finally climb to the edge of the cliff.

Further up, the mountain will become flat and they will be safe!
I looked around, it was quiet and there was no one around.

Sure enough, as expected, those Ming people never thought that they would climb up from the dangerous west side of Iwami Mountain.

Sixteen warriors worked hard and climbed up from the cliff. They were all exhausted and panting. They lay on the ground gasping for air...

"Hahahaha, I climbed up. I have secured His Majesty the Emperor's bounty..." a samurai whispered excitedly.
