Jinyi Night Walk

When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu asked, Fatto couldn't help feeling sad, and immediately wailed: "Your Excellency, General, this time back home, Fatto bought a large amount of goods for the General, but they were all snatched up by pirates shortly after setting out to sea! Those damned Pirates, I have reported the name of Lord General, but they don’t pay attention to it, and even recorded Fei Fu’s body, Your Excellency General, you must be the master of Fei Fu!”

"Ok?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Speak slowly, what's going on?"

Fatty told the story from the beginning to the end, and Ashikaga Yoshiro said with displeasure: "These ronin and fallen samurai are too disgraceful. The last time Mitsuo Shimadzu came back from Daming, they robbed them all. This time It’s like this again, even my envoys dare to snatch it, it’s time to give them some teaching jade.”

Fei Fu took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Emperor Inumei is also worried about this. They hope to join hands with you, General, to wipe out the pirates and make the sea routes peaceful. Otherwise, they are unwilling to reopen the door of trade with us and Japan."

Fei Fu took the opportunity to tell Ashikaga Yoshimitsu the three conditions proposed by Xia Xun. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't help hesitating, and muttered: "Crack down on dirty goods trading, capture dirty pirates, and attack islands occupied by known pirates." , Encirclement and suppression, this is what I am thinking about: providing information to each other with Da Ming, and providing information about the pirates we have, this is not a problem at all, but opening up the port, allowing Da Ming warships to dock, rest, and replenish! This... ..."..."

Fei Fu hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, your army is very powerful, but your navy is no stronger than pirates. If you can use the hands of wise people to eradicate these pests, why not do it?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said with a sullen face: "Japan, is my Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's Japan, allowing other countries' armies to show off their power on my territory? No, no, no..."..."

Yoshimitsu Ashikaga's main concern was reputation. His pride made it difficult for him to make this decision, because it would prove his incompetence and his inability to exercise effective control over Japan.As for the establishment of military bases, cultural infiltration, etc., which are commonly used by superpowers in the modern world to control other countries, he is not worried.

In that era, it was unrealistic to station troops in a country beyond its reach to exercise effective control over the country.You build a base there, and food can be obtained locally, but the replenishment of soldiers and ordnance can only be relied on domestically.However, the long distance will cause great difficulties in supplying supplies. When the Ming Dynasty stationed troops in Liaodong, its supplies took up a considerable part of the tax revenue. It was for this reason that Zhu Di later abolished the Liaodong capital. It is conceivable what a huge economic burden it will cause the country to form a deterrent military base.

Moreover, the long distance, the information that cannot be transmitted in real time, the lack of modern weapons such as rockets and missiles that can carry out effective long-range strikes, and the lack of mobile forces such as aircraft and warships that can quickly go into battle, even if the troops are stationed, the country where they are stationed is not worried.If they want to destroy the bases of other countries, the battle will start for more than a month, and the news will reach the ears of the rulers of other countries quickly. Then gather the army, make preparations for logistics and other aspects, and the real battle will be half a year later.

So in that era, under the various actual conditions of that era, garrisoning a relatively powerful independent country with a strong military force would be a waste of people and money without any effect.

As for cultural aggression, people at that time did not have this kind of understanding, and Japan did not have the slightest resistance. They eagerly absorbed Chinese culture, politics, culture, religion, manufacturing, architecture, laws and regulations, everything they wanted to learn, and everything was there. Following suit, Chinese characters, Go, calligraphy, tea drinking, etc., have penetrated into all walks of life in Japan.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also loves and searches for Chinese treasures, commodities, calligraphy and paintings, gathers scholars and painters with profound knowledge in Sinology, conducts literary research in the country, and forms a Beishan culture with a distinct Chinese style. How can he invade culturally? Will there be conflicts?I wish for it.

Fatty is an authentic businessman, in his eyes there are only benefits, not as complicated as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu thinks, seeing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu hesitate, Fatty's eyeballs turned around, hurriedly took two steps forward, and whispered: "General Your Excellency, reopen trade with Ming Dynasty, and the wealth will be in your hands, General, otherwise, if you let the pirates go crazy, it will have two adverse effects on Your Excellency, General."

"Oh tell me!"

Fei Fu hurriedly said: "Yes, first, Daming is gathering troops to crack down on pirates. On the way back, Fei Fu has seen the entire coast of Daming, where troops are training and preparing for war. If you suffer losses along the coast of Daming, you can only withdraw and plunder our Japanese people, which is greatly detrimental to your rule, General. Second, even if it is not good for Ming to fight against pirates, the pirates can only loot very limited things. Compared with the goods obtained from trade with Ming Dynasty, there is no way to compare in terms of quantity or quality.

The third point is also the most important point. As far as I know, some daimyos and guardians are also secretly letting their samurai join the ranks of pirates. The wealth they rob will make them stronger, maybe so One day there will be a threat to Your Excellency the General..."..."

"Fatty, you are so brave! Are you telling me that my warriors are not loyal enough to me?"

"Fat and rich don't dare, fat and rich don't dare, the generals are mighty, no one can beat them! However, the Chinese have a saying, "Great talents from generation to generation have been leading the way for hundreds of years..." General, you..."... think Woolen cloth?"

This sentence is hitting Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's weakness. He is not arrogant enough to think that the Ashikaga family can hold power forever, and his threat comes from his samurai.

Genji Ashikaga originated from Hachiman Taro Genyoshi's family. The two sons of Yijia's second son, Yiguo, Yizhong and Yikang lived in Xintianzhuang in Ueno Country and Ashikaga Village in Shimono Country respectively. Yikang changed his surname to Ashikaga, which is Minamoto Ashikaga s origin.During the battle of Genpei, the Ashikaga clan naturally followed Minamoto Yoritomo, who came from the same lineage. After Yoritomo died, the Hojo clan became the real ruler.

Starting from Yoshikan, the son of Ashikaga Yoshiyasu, the Ashikaga family has always been married to the Hojo family and has become the guardian of Kamiso and Mikawa.But the Ashikaga family in the Kamakura period was just a sword of the Hojo family. Wherever the Hojo family pointed, the Ashikaga family would fight there.The Minamoto family left a last word, "One of my seventh-generation descendants must be able to conquer the world..."..." When I arrived at the Ashikaga family, it happened to be the seventh article, and I was still living under the oppression of the Hojo family. I felt ashamed at home. The ancestors revised the seven-year plan left by the ancestors, and pretended to be a ghost, claiming that "someone in the next three generations will win the heaven..." Then he committed seppuku in Hachimangu Shrine.

But by coincidence, after so many years of joint efforts of generations of descendants, the Ashikaga family actually rose within three generations, and finally in Sanli Yoshimitsu's generation, became the supreme emperor above the Japanese emperor.

In the era of the emperor's rule, the local officials of the 66 countries (66 states) in Japan were appointed by the emperor. In order to fight against the emperor, General Zhengyi placed his own clan or meritorious officials in each country to become "guardians" and had local authority. Military, administrative, and police powers. Later, due to the needs of war, the guardians of various countries were allowed to obtain half of the local annual tribute (land rent) as their own income. Although the Northern and Southern Dynasties were unified in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but The guardians have already mastered the local military, administrative, and taxation powers, and have become actual victims.

And are these perpetrators really willing to be subject to the Ashikaga family forever?In the past, they followed Ashikaga and gained their current status. Will their descendants be as ambitious as Ashikaga in the future?

The anger on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face disappeared. He was silent for a moment and asked, "What kind of person is this Yang Xu? What is his status in front of the Emperor of Ming? I handed it over to him. If I agree to his conditions, what kind of benefits can I get? Is it still a tribute for ten years? The quality of the copper coins we minted by ourselves is too low to be circulated at all. We need copper coins from the Ming Dynasty. Will the outflow of copper coins be restricted?"

Fat Fu was stunned, he didn't know much about Yang Xu, and he couldn't answer the questions Ashikaga Yoshimitsu asked, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was a little displeased, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "Find out as soon as possible, and then reply to me!"

Fei Fu hurriedly agreed, said goodbye and left in a hurry.After Feifu left, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu thought for a moment, called in a guard warrior, and said: "Go to the city and find some people who came from the Ming Dynasty recently, who know their court better. I need to know something about the Ming Dynasty. News! Need to know about their Fuguo Duke Yang Xu!"

Fuguo Gong Yang Xu is currently observing the outer sea of ​​Haiwei. He is standing on a battleship, watching the drill of the two naval fleets of Li Yifeng and Chizhong.

Right now, the fleets of Li Yifeng and Chizhong are still in constant drills, but their drills are not just this kind of drills targeting imaginary enemies. After Chizhong rushed to the east of Zhejiang, he led the Fuzhou navy with rich experience in naval warfare. , has led Li Yifeng's Chaohu navy to fight several battles with the hunchbacks.The Chaohu navy, which has quickly mastered the water regime and sea routes and sea combat skills, is now able to perform patrol tasks alone.

Recommended by Xia Xun, Si Hanchao, who has become the commander of Zhejiang Capital and Si Daidu, stood steadily beside Xia Xun. After watching the rehearsal for a while, the leader said: "It's hard for a hunchback to be with me at sea. The Great Ming Navy fought against each other. Looking at it now, Chi Dusi's command is remarkable, and Li Dusi's tactics are quite novel. With these two powerful generals, the ministers will be in every position. Grace is hard to understand...Liu Xiaxun leaned on the side of the boat, and watched with a smile as the two fleets encircled and counter-surrounded flexibly; interspersed and intersected, and asked, "What's the puzzle? "

Si Hanchao said: "Butang, the warships of our Daming Navy mostly use Dafu boats. Dafu boats are as tall as a city, sailing on the open ocean, but when encountering a hunchback boat, just ram it, and they will be invincible. Most of the warships of the division are equipped with such warships, but why are the warships assigned by the adults mainly sentinel ships, Haicang ships, Cangshan ships and even centipede speedboats? If it is because of the rush of time, the shipyard may not be able to manufacture enough warships, I think that we can requisition the existing giant ships of various navies as much as possible."

Xia Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "Everything that has its strengths must have its weaknesses. Big ships are indeed powerful. When encountering at sea, they don't need to fight, but only need to fight with the boat. The problem is, those' Praying Mantis can't beat you, but it can run. The Dafu boat is as tall as a city, and it is hard to drive by manpower. It depends on the wind to boost it. In this way, when there is no wind, it is a waste, and when the wind is not in the right direction, it needs to go back and forth. Turning point, taking advantage of this period of time, the vulnerable hunchback had long since fled.

Therefore, ships must be diverse in order to adapt to the unpredictable sea.What's more, the place where I will really fight with the navy this time will be a shallow sea, where the islands and reefs are criss-crossed?Big boats are of little use, only these flexible boats can play a big role, then we will prepare more underwater mines, haha..."

Xia Xun suddenly laughed, pointing forward and said: "Look, after all, Chidu Si is superior, and Li Yifeng's fleet is surrounded again!"

It seems right to choose Chizhong as the commander-in-chief of the fleet. Right now, Chizhong's rich experience in suppressing Japanese and pirates and his naval warfare skills make him the best candidate to command this huge fleet.However, in the long run, once Li Yifeng, a young general, is familiar with naval warfare and has accumulated enough experience, combined with his various innovations in the navy, he is bound to come from behind and become an outstanding naval admiral.

The soldiers of the Shuangyu Guards did not participate in the exercise. They have their own style of play. Over the years, they have not only gotten used to it, but also created a set of unique tactics that belong to them. There is no need for Xia Xun to forcefully reform them. The tactics and tactics were different from what Zhu Di had guessed. Xia Xun did not intend to use the Shuangyu Guards as his Chinese fleet, but let them out to fight independently as a surprise soldier cruising outside the main fleet.

In this way, on the one hand, the problem of the lack of tacit cooperation between the Shuangyu Guard and other naval fleets is solved, and relying on the strong survivability and independent combat capabilities of the Shuangyu Guard, it can also develop its strengths and give full play to their combat effectiveness.

The Shuangyu Guard Navy has left Shuangyu to go to Ryukyu, and Xia Xun's real target is here.

Ryukyu is a transit point for trade between Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia. It is known as the "Tianjin Bridge of All Nations". Now there are three small countries and countless tribes. 100 years later, it will be unified: 200 years later, it will be occupied by the Satsuma people living in the southernmost tip of Japan and become a puppet state of Japan: 400 years later, it will be renamed Okinawa and completely incorporated into the Japanese territory; and then Naha, Diaoyu Islands..."...", all the way south, until they control Taiwan.

Xia Xun nailed a wedge here, with polar bears in the north, Shuangyu tigers in the south, Daming in the west, and the sea in the east. Where will the snake be stuck? There will never be enough space for it to transform into a dragon!

And other fleets stationed there will not only consume a huge amount of money from the Ming court, make it unbearable for Daming, but also will not be able to integrate and really gain a firm foothold, but the Shuangyu Guard is different. The division fleet will be the most suitable fleet to take root here and survive!

Here, it will become Daming's unsinkable aircraft carrier!
