The Most Powerful Man in the World

"The proof is as above!"

His brows were slightly wrinkled, Ashikaga Yoshiki gave a low voice, his eyes narrowed, and he saw Ashikaga Yoshiki kept walking towards Master Cheng Ruo.

But at this time, a figure followed Ashikaga Yoshiki, and it was Jiudu Yunzhai.

Although Jiudu Yunzhai is not an innate level powerhouse, his strength is not bad. If he is to join all the warriors of the Ashikaga family, it may be difficult to kill the master of the card, but there is nothing wrong with the master of the card. questionable.

Master Cheng Ru put his hands together and bowed towards Ashikaga Yoshiki and the apparently coerced Emperor Gokashihara: "The poor monk has seen the General, and His Majesty the Emperor!"

Compared with Ashikaga Yoshiki's calmness, Emperor Kashikashihara's reaction was quite large, and he could only hear Emperor Kashikashihara shouting to Venerable Master Chengru: "Master Chengru, this Emperor heard that Venerable Master actually took refuge in Daming, this matter. Is it true?"

Master Cheng Ru nodded calmly and said, "The poor monk was ordered by King Wu Chu Yi to persuade the two to stop the war, open the city gate, and welcome the soldiers of tomorrow to enter the city!"

"Bold!"

To be honest, the name of Master Chengru is really big in Kinki, and even Emperor Gokashihara respected him very much, so even if Emperor Gokashira heard the news of Master Chengru's surrender, he would not. I want to believe it, but after listening to the words of Master Chengru, Emperor Gokashihara looked at Master Chengru as if he were looking at a stranger.

However, for the reaction of Emperor Gokashihara, Master Chengru did not take it to heart, but instead looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki.

As for the situation in Kyoto, Master Chengru is very clear. Just by looking at the appearance of the emperor's clothes being coerced, he knows that Kyoto is still in the hands of the shogun, Yoshiki Ashikaga. Therefore, Master Chengru proclaimed the Buddha's name to Yoshiyuki Ashikaga: "I don't know what the general's intention is?"

Ashikaga Yoshiki's eyes narrowed, and he took a deep breath to look at Master Cheng Yu and said solemnly, "What if this general descends? What if he doesn't?"

On the side, Emperor Gokashihara changed his expression after hearing Ashikaga Yoshiki's words. He looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki in disbelief and shouted, "Ashika Yoshiki, you..."

Chapter 1 The big ship comes from the west [[-] more]

Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Master Zheng Ru, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and said slowly, "Master, is there still hope for this general?"

Although Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't say it clearly, Master Cheng Yu understood the meaning of what Ashikaga Yoshiki said, and heard Master Cheng Ru shook his head and said: "If the general can unify the Eastern Ying, and devote all of my power to the whole of the Eastern Ying, it will be a good idea. You can't fight against Daming, although you won't be able to win a big victory, there is no problem in defending the country."

If it is said that Dongying really uses the power of the whole country, coupled with factors such as the right time, place, people and other factors, even if Chu Yi is personally in charge, it will take a lot of effort to win Dongying.

It's a pity that the East Ying has fallen into a split since the Ojin Rebellion, not to mention the unification of the East Ying, Ashikaga Yoshiki, the nominal shogun's order, may not be able to have many people obeyed in Kyoto.

Staring at Ashikaga Yoshiki, Master Cheng Ru shouted, "Please make a decision early on, General!"

Shrinking his eyes, Ashikaga Yoshiki glanced at Master Cheng Ru, gritted his teeth and said, "This general is willing to surrender!"

Although it is said that there are tens of thousands of horses in hand, relying on the city wall of Kyoto, it may not be without the strength of a battle, but Ashikaga Yoshiki is afraid.

If Ashikaga Yoshiki really has the means and heart of a hero, I am afraid that the order of the shogunate cannot be difficult to get out of Kyoto.

In Ashikaga Yoshiki's view, since he was destined not to be Daming's opponent, surrendering early was not necessarily a way out, it was better than being defeated and killed.

Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshiki made up his mind from the beginning, so he personally led his troops into the Kyoto Imperial Palace and captured the emperor.

Emperor Kashiwahara never understood why Ashikaga Yoshiki broke into the Imperial Palace in Kyoto and captured himself without killing him, but now he suddenly reacted.

Emotional Ashikaga Yoshiki caught him and wanted to treat him as a step forward.

It is conceivable that Ashikaga Yoshiki had the merit of dedicating the city, and he also presented him as the emperor, even Chu Yi would have to give him a high look, even if he saw the big tomorrow child, the big tomorrow child also He will look at Ashikaga Yoshiki in a different way, and when the time comes, he will reward him with a title, but his glory and wealth in the second half of his life will be guaranteed.

After realizing this, Emperor Kashikashihara's face suddenly turned ashen, and he roared and cursed at Ashikaga Yoshiki.

On the bright side, the ruler of Dongying is his emperor. If he surrenders, then everyone else will have hope of survival, but he, the emperor, has no hope of survival.

Ashikaga Yoshiki could even get the Daming reward for his contribution to the city, but he, the Emperor of the East, was about to lose his life. No wonder the Emperor Kashiwahara reacted so fiercely.

Now that he has made a decision, Ashikaga Yoshiki is also a resolute person, and he resolutely said to the master: "I also asked the master to introduce His Royal Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, and said that this general is willing to surrender."

Master Cheng Ru showed a slight smile on his face, he nodded slightly and looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki and said, "If His Royal Highness Wu Wang knows this news, he will definitely be very happy, and the general's glory and wealth in the second half of his life will definitely not be enjoyed. Exhausted."

With the order of Yoshiyuki Ashikaga, the tens of thousands of defenders in the capital city did not make the slightest resistance. Under the leadership of Yoshiyuki Ashikaga, they put down their weapons and surrendered to the great Ming soldiers and horses outside the city.

Ashikaga Yoshiki personally led his confidants to hold the Emperor Gobaihara, and then, under the guidance of Master Chengru, left the capital city and ran towards Chu Yi in the distance.

Above the vast ocean, there is no edge at a glance. In addition to the waves, there are fishes that occasionally jump out of the water. Other than that, there is no other sight at all.

However, at this time, a little black spot appeared on the sea in the distance. It didn't take a long time for the black spot to gradually become larger. Finally, it could be clearly seen that a continuous fleet of ships appeared on the sea in the distance. .

This is a huge fleet, one, two, a piece of black, this turned out to be a huge fleet composed of dozens of ships.

The most important thing is that this sea area already belongs to the sea area near the Daming Sea, and there is no other fleet in Suuri except the merchant ships that go out to sea.

Even the merchant ships that go out to sea are not of such a large scale, and this fleet of dozens of ships is obviously different from the ships built by Daming only by the appearance and demeanor of the ships.

This turned out to be a sailing warship with obvious Western characteristics in the era of great navigation.

On the flagship headed by him, as the governor of this fleet, Dalikis stood on the ship and looked to the east.

In those days, Marco Polo returned to the West from Dayuan and wrote Marco Polo's travels. In Marco Polo's writings, the ancient country of the East was a country of gold, and it seemed that the ground was full of gold. In his writings, the Dongying Island country used gold to build houses, which can be described as extremely Exaggerate.

Such a description should not be believed by many people, but those Westerners who read Marco Polo's Travels are convinced of the ancient golden country described in Marco Polo's book.

If the great empire in the East was not full of gold, how could it have produced such exquisite porcelain and silk.

Therefore, since the advent of the era of great voyages, fleets of ships from the West want to find a passage to the East from the sea.

As Spain and Portugal, the two major maritime powers, were invincible on the ocean, Dalicis, as the captain of a Portuguese squadron, led his fleet across the sea for several months. After crossing the vast ocean, it entered the land of the East.

In front of Daliqisi, a man dressed in silk and satin with an obvious oriental face stood there in awe, but when he looked at Daliqisi, his eyes showed infinite fear. Obviously Dali His thoughts left a terrifying impression on him.

Chen Wei wanted to tear apart the alien race in front of him, but thinking that his crew members and relatives were all killed by the other party, Chen Wei closed his eyes, and the scenes of those relatives and subordinates being tortured and killed would be Chen Wei's whole body trembled as it appeared in his heart.

"Chen, tell me, there are still a few days to reach the waters of your country!"

Chen Wei took a deep breath, glanced at the other party, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "This general, in another day's journey, you will be able to reach the nearest port, and then you will be able to set foot on the land of the legendary Golden State."

Dalicis patted Chen Wei's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "If this is the case, this general will keep his promise and spare your life!"

As the captain of the fleet whose hands were covered in blood as Portugal expanded, killing people was just as normal for him as eating and drinking tea.

In the eyes of Daliqisi, Chen Wei's life is nothing at all, as long as he wants to, he can kill him at any time.

Chen Wei lowered his head, his fists clenched in his long sleeves, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he said silently in his heart: "You aliens, even if I die, Chen Wei, I will not let you have a better time."

The fact that Daming sent an army of more than [-] to conquer Dongying could not be concealed at all. After all, Daming used so many soldiers and horses at once, and recruited so many ships. It can be said that most of the maritime merchants knew about Daming's attack on Dongying. an important news.

As one of many maritime merchants, Chen Wei obviously couldn't be unaware of this news.

If there are maritime merchants who are familiar with the situation in the Daming and Dongying sea areas, if they see the path led by Chen Wei, they will probably discover the strangeness of it for the first time.

According to Dalich's request, Chen Wei should lead these Portuguese fleets to Daming, and then stop at the coastal area of ​​Daming.

However, Chen Weifei did not lead people to Daming as requested by Daliqisi, but instead led them to the land of Dongying.

The fleet clearly deviated from the direction, not heading towards Daming, but heading towards Dongying.

With a wave of his hand, he saw a Portuguese soldier stepped forward and pressed Chen Wei down. Several women who were holding wine glasses and who were obviously women of the Ming Dynasty walked over with laughter.

Only one of the generals could be heard saying to Daliqisi: "Captain Daliqisi, how long will it take to reach the Golden Land, I can't wait."

A general next to him hugged a woman who forced herself to smile and laughed loudly: "When I get to the golden country, I will definitely find more than a dozen female slaves. I have to say that these oriental women are really too delicate..."

Dali Qisi glanced at these generals and smiled slightly: "There is still a day's journey at most, and then we will set foot on the land of the Golden Kingdom recorded by Mr. Marco Polo. With our force, we can have whatever we want. , whether it is gold or women, or silk or tea, we have as much as we want.”

"Hahaha, as long as we can return to the voyage smoothly, His Majesty the King will certainly enjoin me as a nobleman of the kingdom."

Just as these Portuguese generals were thinking about the future, this fleet deviates from the direction and is headed straight for Dongying.

There is no way to hide any ships on the vast ocean. It can be said that as long as there is a lookout through the telescopic mirror, the wind and grass within a few miles can be clearly seen, and everything can be seen.

The ship sailed at sea for almost a day and a night, just when the generals who got the news were a little impatient, a faint shadow appeared at the end of the sea level in the distance.

As it got closer and closer, finally everyone saw a piece of land. When he saw that piece of land, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Chen Wei with satisfaction: "Chen, you did a very good job. , this general will definitely not treat you badly!"

Chen Wei lowered his head, but his eyes were full of murderous intent, but his face showed a look of gratitude and said to Dali Qisi: "Thank you General, thank you General!"

Chapter 2 Can you still laugh! 【[-] more】

As a maritime merchant, Chen Wei had traveled the route between Dongying and Daming earlier, so he was very familiar with the route to Dongying.

It was Chen Wei's familiarity with the route that made Dalicis and other Portuguese officers not pose any threat to the route Chen Wei was referring to.

On the one hand, Dali Qisi and others believed that they had control over Chen Wei's life and death. As long as Chen Wei didn't want to seek death, he would definitely not dare to deceive them. Besides, on the way, they followed the route indicated by Chen Wei. It was indeed smooth sailing, and it was exactly the right route.

Now that they saw the shadow of the land, they almost instinctively thought that they had finally resisted the mysterious ancient golden country in the east.

Originally, the fleet of Dalicis would return after occupying the Strait of Malacca, but after accidentally looting Chen Wei's merchant ship, Dalicis's heart moved, and after killing many crew members on Chen Wei's ship, he threatened to Chen Wei, ordered Chen Wei to take them to the ancient golden country in the east.

However, Chen Wei did not understand what the so-called ancient golden country referred to by Daliqisi and others, but in the descriptions of Daliqisi and others, Chen Wei understood that it turned out that Daliqisi and the others wanted to go there. Daming, and the ancient golden country in these populations refers to Daming.

Chen Wei, who hated Dali Qisi and others in his heart, made a gesture of cooperation and led Dali Qisi and others to Dongying.

Iwami Port is still going by boat. Although it is said that in many surrounding countries, many young people have been captured by the Ming Dynasty and sent to the mines to be slaves, but Dongying can be said to have a large population, no matter how hard they are caught. Can take everyone away.

Besides, after Chu Yi and the others landed in Dongying, they said they destroyed more than a dozen large and small countries, but there are dozens of large and small countries in Dongying, and destroying more than a dozen does not affect those businessmen who only have interests in their eyes.

These businessmen did not care about the conflicts and contradictions between the Ming Dynasty and the big names in the East, but instead took the opportunity to make a fortune in the war and earn huge profits.

Qi Jingtong still sits in Iwami Port, with more than a dozen ships under his command, plus [-] soldiers and horses, enough to govern the order of the entire Iwami country from the mines to the port.

Under this circumstance, the Portuguese fleet led by Chen Wei to Dongying appeared above the sea off Iwami Port.

Through a telescope, Dalikis and other Portuguese naval officers could not help but marvel at the sight of ships coming and going on the port in the distance.

Only one naval officer was heard admiring: "It really deserves to be the legendary golden country. Any small port can have such a prosperous scene."

Because of Chen Wei, these Portuguese officers thought that the Shijian port in front of them was nothing more than an ordinary port in the Ming Dynasty, which attracted the admiration of the naval officers.

Since these Dalichs and others can see the scene in Iwami Port through the telescopic mirror, then from the watchtower of Iwami Port, you can naturally see this obviously extraordinary branch appearing on the sea surface. Portuguese fleet.

The Portuguese fleet includes dozens of warships and supply ships. These dozens of ships are gathered together, it is a dark piece, and it is definitely very eye-catching on the sea, so it is said that Dalicis and others passed While telescopic observation of Ishijian Port, several sentries have passed the news to Qi Jingtong at the fastest speed.

Qi Jingtong may not be a famous general, but if he has no ability at all, he will not be entrusted by Chu Yi to sit in Shijian Port.

There was a precedent that Zhai Luan was robbed by Dongfang Invincible, and Qi Jingtong was vigilant enough for any unfamiliar ship that appeared off the coast of Iwami Port.

It can be said that every ship that wants to enter the port must be inspected by someone before it can enter the port. Otherwise, those ships that dare to refuse inspection will be greeted by a dozen cannons above the port.

Qi Jingtong listened to the news from the sentry, the teacup in his hand trembled slightly, and the warm tea almost spilled on the ground, when he saw Qi Jingtong stand up suddenly, his face full of surprise and said: "What, say something. A fleet of at least dozens of ships appeared off the coast of Iwami Port?"

The sentry nodded again and again.

Qi Jingtong took a deep breath, his face showed a dignified expression, and he said decisively: "Quickly lead the way, this general will go check it out in person."

Qi Jingtong did not dare to be careless at all. Although he said that the port occupied by Daming was not limited to Iwami Port, Iwami Port was after all the first port occupied by Daming landing in Dongying. In addition, due to Iwami Silver Mountain, Iwami Port is still very important.

Just when Qi Jingtong rushed to Iwami Port, on the flagship of Iwami Port off the coast, Dali Qisi, the self-appointed governor, had a thoughtful look on his face.

In Dalich's view, since he has successfully reached the Golden State, the next thing to consider is how to face it.

Although it has always been said that Portugal has always adopted a strong attitude in the face of those large and small countries, since Portugal started its great voyage, the number of large and small countries destroyed by Portugal is no less than dozens, and the people who have been directly and indirectly killed are probably no less than dozens. Thousands.

If it weren't for Marco Polo's description, the mysterious Golden State is not only very rich, but also very powerful, I am afraid that Daliqisi will not hesitate, and use force to attack directly according to the practice of the Portuguese navy. .

"General, what should we do next?"
