Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Wai is an island country, not to mention military warships, even civilian ships are countless, but just find some ships to go to Northern Ming to pass the message that’s all, really not What a major event. Even for safety, Emissary sent out ten teams this time to prevent the Five Star Army from intercepting at sea.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was really careful enough. Ten Emissary teams scattered and left. Someone was intercepted by the Five Star Army, and the news was revealed, but in the end a ship passed through the sea by chance. Arrived in Northern Ming.

Through the intercepted ship, Five Star Army learned of Ashikaga Yoshimasa’s actions and reported it to Yang Chendong. Looking at the confession sent, Yang Chendong coldly snorted and said: “It’s just a trapped beast. Do you really think that this way can stop my army? Humph, Yang Er, send a report to Xu Youzhen, he should know How to do it, and to inform the frontline army to speed up the march, leaving us not much time.”

……

Northern Ming capital.

The Japanese Emissary, who had come through the waves, finally came here, and then hurriedly sent Zu Yizheng’s handwriting to the Ministry of Rites in charge of foreign affairs. In their opinion, the Japanese kingdom is already in danger. The Emperor Northern Ming should summon them soon, but unexpectedly, this wait is only a few days.

It’s not that the handwriting was not delivered to Zhu Qiyu’s hands, and now the imperial power is still very prestigious, even if the Ministry of Rites High Official is Hu Ying, the father-in-law of Yang Chendong, he also dare not hold down this matter. So the problem is not because of the Ministry of Rites, but under the Imperial Court.

After Zhu Qiyu saw the manuscript submitted by the Ministry of Rites, he immediately convened the Imperial Court Assembly to discuss the dispatch of troops. What he didn’t expect was that when he talked about sending troops to the Japanese nation, the following courtiers had surprisingly the same reaction, and they all disagreed with sending troops.

Among them, Crown Prince Shao Fu, Bachelor and Ministry of Justice High Official Xu Youzhen are the most opposed.

“His Imperial Majesty, we need to settle down in order to fight foreign affairs. Our own problems have not been solved yet. Where can we help the Japanese country? This matter should be considered twice.”

On the surface, Xu Youzhen and Yang Chendong are not at odds, so Zhu Qiyu’s trust and reliance is won. Now he is the first to speak like this, and other courtiers are also the beginning of your words.

“His Imperial Majesty, Xu Shaofu makes sense. The most important thing we should do now is to solve the problems in Shajing and Jingzhou, instead of dividing our forces to help others.”

“Yes, His Imperial Majesty. According to the handbook, the Japanese country is already in danger. At this moment, how big a problem can we solve even if we send troops?”

“Yes. Fight across the sea, Yu Our food and grass supplies are unfavorable. Once something happens, it will be a big problem.”

“Thinking that the Japanese country often violated our borders in the past, now they deserve it.”

“The adults are right, I second.”

“The minister seconded…”

Various statements have appeared, but the general idea is still unified. That is not to send troops to help the Japanese nation.

The so-called death with cold lips and teeth certainly has a certain truth. It’s just that Northern Ming and Wa are facing each other across the sea. This argument is difficult to hold. Especially when the marine industry is underdeveloped, no one will feel any danger or threat.

In their eyes, the safety of Northern Ming is the most important thing. At least, the small country of Japan, which is a small country across the sea, will care about what they do.

Zhu Qiyu, sitting on top of the golden Dragon Throne, originally looked like a solemnly vowed. When I read the handwritten book, Ashikaga Yoshimasa said that he was willing to serve Northern Ming as the master. For generations, after seeing that the annual tribute to the silver and two associations doubled, he was a little moved.

You can get the name, but also profitable. Such things are His Imperial Majesty of Supreme’s favorite.

I just didn’t expect that the following group of officials would react so fiercely, which really went beyond his expectations. Of course, with his identity as His Imperial Majesty, he could be alone, and the courtiers below could not say anything. But at the time when pressure is being put on the Five Star Army, and even when a big victory is in front of him, it is not a good thing if the heart of a courtier is cold.

Without affecting oneself, taking action can help others, and Zhu Qiyu is naturally willing to do it. But because of this, the Northern Ming Imperial Court was plunged into instability, which was not what he wanted, and he became hesitant at this moment.

Where did Zhu Qiyu know that Xu Youzhen immediately started a lot of work after receiving the telegram from the security bureau personnel.

Since he chose to follow Yang Chendong, he has focused on Five Star Army. While using Zhu Qiyu to vigorously withhold the salaries of his ministers, he used the silver given by Yang Chendong to win over many people. Now at least 20% of the courtiers on the Imperial Court have benefited from him. At this moment, it was time to show his power, and he secretly contacted many people. Under the understanding (ceremony), many people only looked at him.

It’s like on the current Imperial Court. Most of the people who speak first are arranged by him. Under the guidance of public opinion, some people who didn’t know before are also moved and published. My own opinion.

Yang Chendong’s strategy took effect. Considering that there were too many objections on the Imperial Court Assembly, Zhu Qiyu did not risk the world’s disapproval of the issue of sending troops, but said that he was considering it. Using this time, Yang Chendong commanded the Five Star Army to continuously gallop on the Japanese battlefield, compressing the territory and strength of the Japanese army.

More than twenty days have passed since the last request for help, and there is still no news that is beneficial to him. Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who was still sitting in the middle of the army, finally couldn’t hold his seat. He once again called his confidant Maori Zhengze to discuss the solution to the crisis.

When there were only two people in the big account, Ashikaga Yoshimasa said: “This General intends to send someone to send a letter to Governor Kuroda of Nankaido, so that he can come and meet us, how about it?”

p>

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said, and Maori Zhengze’s body became visibly tight.

The naval strength of the Japanese nation is still very strong, and its military strength is also considerable. At present, there are at least 300,000 Japanese navy in South China Sea. This is also the foundation for the Japanese nation to establish itself on the sea. It was only because the Five Star Army’s naval divisions were stronger, especially the guns in the ship had a longer range, which did not show their strength.

But even so, the Marine Masters of Five Star Army have not underestimated this strength. The news comes back that it is enough to besiege the Five Star Army in Nankaidao without attacking it.

I don’t know that Ashikaga Yoshimasa is impossible, but now, he wants to call these navies out. Don’t he know that he will lose a lot if he breaks through the siege? But still have to do this, the meaning of which is a little sorrowful.

Maori Zhengze quickly thought of a possibility, that is, Ashikaga Yoshimasa is really afraid of Five Star Army, this is to save himself. After all, with the help of the navy, they have the ability to leave the country at any time, and can survive in a new place other than here. And if there is no help from a powerful navy, everything will cease to be mentioned.

“Does it mean that the General Army has prepared for the worst?” Maori Zhengze raised his head and glanced at Ashikaga Yoshimasa and then nodded, “It’s also good, although the breakout will lose some, but in the end Being surrounded is not a long-term solution.”

Now that Ashikaga Yoshimasa has made a decision, Maori Zhengze will be difficult to stop even if it is afraid of it. If it is not possible, it will offend the General army. The future is very unfavorable.

Maori Zhengze agreed, not at all. It was out of Ashikaga Yoshimasa’s expectation. He laughed, “Very well, let’s settle things like this.”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa is indeed Prepared for defeat and escape. Facing the powerful offensive of the Five Star Army, he knew that some things were irreversible, especially after the request for help from Northern Ming did not get a reply, this idea became more determined, but what he did not expect was that his backhands accelerated this time The entire Japanese army was defeated.

It’s not like Five Star Army who owns the Electric Apparatus station, which is beyond this era. If you want to pass the letter to the president of Nankaidao, Kuroda, there are only two ways. One is the pigeon. , The second is to send someone to deliver the letter. To be on the safe side, both methods were used, and it was this decision that gave Five Star Army time to prepare in advance.

The homing pigeons in the sky are not so easy to catch, especially the well-trained homing pigeons. But this thing is not completely certain. It is not uncommon for pigeons to have accidents. For the sake of double insurance, Ashikaga Yoshimasa sent an unremarkable civilian ship to Nankaidao.

If things are bad, it’s on such a civilian ship. On the outskirts of Nankaidao, which has been completely blocked, even Han civilian ships and merchant ships will not pass inspection, let alone a Japanese national ship. Therefore, under close inspection, Emissary was uncovered, and it became a secret that the General Army ordered the Marine Division to break through.

The person below reported the situation to Yang Chendong by telegram immediately. After learning about this, Yang Chendong decided to come to a beating somebody at their own game after careful consideration.

If there is everything on the grassland, Yang Chendong is not prepared to give birth to any Japanese army when time is sufficient. They can only choose to die except surrender. But now, the external environment is not satisfactory. The New Second Army will face major problems at any time. Without time and the others, the affairs of the Japanese country must be resolved quickly.

Among these, the Master Wa Guohai was the one who made Yang Chendong a headache.

The 300,000 navy has a great advantage in number, and there are also small artillery pieces. It is not easy to gnaw off this hard bone. In addition, Governor Kuroda also not to be trifled with, according to the news from the intelligence personnel lurking in Nankaidao, under his own management, the public security there is still stable, which prevents internal attacks. may.

While worrying about how to eat this group of Japanese troops and how to occupy Nankaidao to solve his worries, the General Army Ashikaga Yoshimasa ordered Yang Chendong to see an opportunity.
