Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

In the Qianqing Palace in the capital of Yingtian Prefecture, Zhu Yuanzhang held in his left hand a letter sent by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, which stated that he was willing to obey all his orders and only asked the Ming Dynasty to open up maritime trade and trade with the Japanese court.

And on his right hand was a secret message sent by Li Wei!
In this letter, Li Wei made his plan clear. Once Kyushu attracts enough Japanese troops, he will lead his troops northward to destroy the Japanese capital of Kyoto!
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw this clever plan, his expression was not good-looking: "This bitch is getting bolder and bolder!"

When the Ming army went out for the expedition, he clearly stated the purpose of the expedition. Now in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's letter of credence, both the Chimeiin leader and the Daikakuji leader of the Japanese country have agreed to his demands. It stands to reason that now Ming Ming The purpose of the military conquest has been achieved, and it is time to withdraw.

However, Li Wei suddenly went straight to Huanglong to destroy his country. Not to mention whether he could succeed or not, even if he could succeed, it would do more harm than good to the Ming Dynasty!

The Chinese suzerainty was able to dominate all directions not only with its powerful force, but also with its generosity and kindness. Just as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu thought, he did not want to directly destroy the Japanese country. If he did, the other vassals would definitely feel sad. Frightened.

The strong kills the weak. Regardless of whether the weak is at fault, others will think that the strong is relying on the strong to bully the weak.

Just like when he faced these founding nobles, although these nobles all committed illegal acts, if he really killed them all in accordance with the law, others would definitely think that he was just trying to kill the dog and would not care about these nobles. Is it really true?
The same is true for the relationship between sects and vassals. The Ming Dynasty is strong but the other countries are weak. Only by extending kindness can all countries truly come to the dynasty.

Leaving aside these issues, Li Wei made his own decision this time and went north to destroy the Japanese without permission, which also made him very angry!

Although it is said that the general will not accept the emperor's orders, it only refers to adapting to the situation during the battle, and Li Wei does not even accept the purpose of the battle, which is too much!
If he could, he would definitely issue an order to recall the Ming Dynasty Navy immediately. However, Li Wei is probably already approaching the Japanese capital at this time. If he refuses to cooperate, the Ming Dynasty Navy will be out of ammunition and there may be a danger of annihilation. , letting Li Wei and this navy be buried in the Japanese country is a loss that he absolutely cannot bear!

"Hmph! You bitch, let's see how we deal with you when you come back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang threw Ashikaga Mitsuru's credentials on the imperial case, clutched the secret letter in his hand and groaned angrily.

After making the decision, he summoned Wang Jinghong and asked him to go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to arrange grain, grass and ammunition, and immediately set off to the place designated by Li Wei.

After hearing the whole story, Wang Jinghong did not dare to delay and immediately received the order to leave the palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished arranging these, his brows were still furrowed.

Li Wei's sudden appearance this time, if he really succeeded in wiping out the Japanese country, such military exploits would be enough to elevate his prestige in the army to a level comparable to that of Feng Sheng, Tang He and other founding fathers, if not as good as Xu Da is not far behind.

In addition, the civil servants now obey his advice. As a result, he is almost as equal as the nobles of Huaixi, and even has a slight difference in actual power.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang even more wary of him.

Several elders among the Huaixi nobles are old, Li Shanchang is 70, and Xu Da, who was in charge of Peiping some time ago, is also ill. It is uncertain when these people will disappear. Who will be able to check and balance the power of such a young man? Li Wei, who dominates the government and the public?

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he stared at the secret letter in silence.

……

On the sea, Li Wei stood on the bow of the ship, his clothes rustling in the sea breeze. The navy had been sailing on the sea for three days. The terrain of the Japanese country was long and narrow, and it was nearly a thousand miles (five hundred kilometers) from Kyushu to their Kyoto. , although taking the sea route is much faster than the land route, it still takes three or four days.

Fortunately, they are faster than the Japanese anyway, not to mention that the Japanese may think that they have retreated now. When the army arrives, they will be caught off guard.

Li Wei couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that he was about to destroy the Japanese country with his own hands. On the fourth day, the Japanese coastline finally appeared in the distance in front of the fleet, and Li Wei immediately took out his telescope to watch.

However, what surprised him was that the coast of Japan, which should have been sparsely populated, was now covered with the shadows of some Japanese cavalry.

While he was watching the Japanese, the Japanese also saw their giant ship.

Although the Japanese did not have telescopes, such a large target of the Ming Navy was still easily discovered by them.

The Japanese who were in charge of the inspection immediately rode back to report to the two Persian generals. The Persian generals immediately ordered the army to gather in the direction where the Ming army was coming, and be ready!
Li Wei frowned slightly when he saw this, but he didn't expect the Japanese to react very quickly.

But it doesn't matter, the troops of the shogunate are all stranded in Kyushu, and the defense force near Kyoto will definitely be greatly reduced. It will take more than ten days to return reinforcements. He only needs to destroy Kyoto of the Japanese country first during this time!
"Order the army to dock and prepare the naval guns. Let them taste the power of the artillery first!"

Li Wei ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

Lu Tang respectfully agreed, turned around and went down to deliver the order.

In Kyushu, the Japanese did not resist when they landed in order to set up an ambush. The artillery on the armored ship and nearly a thousand ships had not had time to show their power, so it was just right to try it on these Japanese.

The Persian generals and Yamada Manjia led their troops to gather on the coast. Looking at the Ming army's ships as huge as mountains, they were extremely shocked!
Fortunately, they did not plan to go to sea to fight a naval battle with the Ming army, otherwise they would have no power to resist in the face of such a huge ship.

The naval fleet gradually approached, and the huge size of the armored ship brought a great sense of oppression to these Japanese. Even the Persian general couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

They have no special means of attack, just bows and arrows and some trebuchets. At this time, they can only watch the Ming army ships approaching, and wait until they are within range before launching an attack. Of course, the most important thing is to do it when they disembark and land. Block.

However, the Ming army's ships did not go as they wished. Instead, they stopped advancing two or three miles away from the shore, and then began to adjust their angles and arrange the ships horizontally.

When the Persian general saw this, he suddenly felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart: "What are they going to do?"

Tianshan's whole family was also puzzled.

But they didn't wait long, a huge explosion made them realize it!
"boom!"

"No, it's artillery!" the Persian general shouted!
They already knew from military information that the Ming army had artillery, but they had never seen an artillery attack on a warship.

At this time, the ships of the Ming Navy were equipped with naval guns in the true sense. Although the Song and Yuan Dynasties also used firearms on ships before, those junks could not be compared with them at all.

More than a hundred naval guns exploded in unison, allowing these Japanese to once again experience what a dimensionality reduction strike is. (End of chapter)
