Chapter 1115: Twenty Heads of Ministers
But now, the ninja has surrendered to the Five Star Army, and the samurai have all been killed. This result shocked Matsumoto Kazama, but also strengthened his determination to be loyal to Yang Chendong. This master is so powerful that the slightest hint of resistance from him is a sin. In the face of such a person, it is best to be obedient, and maybe the ninja can carry forward under his leadership.
As for the old enemy Yamaguchi Fukada, he died lifelessly. He wasn't happy or disappointed. Because anyone who is an enemy of Yang Chendong will eventually have such a result, and the difference is nothing more than the time sooner or later.
Matsumoto Kazama didn't feel anything, Yang Chendong was indeed not a person who couldn't fight back. Although the appearance of Fukada Yamaguchi did not threaten his safety, he was not even qualified to be frightened. But this person was sent by Ashikaga Yoshimasa to assassinate him, and with this article, he must return it.
Matsumoto Kazama was once again ordered to come to the Imperial Palace, where he accepted a mission to assassinate Ashikaga Yoshimasa.
According to Yang Chendong, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, as the most powerful general in the Japanese Kingdom, once forced the Emperor of the Houtenyuan to have no way out, and his side must be heavily guarded, and it is not easy to kill him.
But it doesn't matter, if you can't kill him, you have to scare him. If he can't kill him, he will kill some people close to him, and as for who these people are, Matsumoto Kazama, who has been used by his side, must know very well.
"Twenty heads, if you can't kill Ashikaga Yoshimasa, you want twenty heads of his cronies with names and surnames. I want someone to know that the price of trying to attack me is heavy, one to ten is not enough, and one to twenty is barely enough. This is what Yang Chendong said to Matsumoto Kazama.
With an order to be executed, Matsumoto Kazama, who had completely surrendered to sincerity, not only did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but also took this mission as an opportunity to show his merit and prove the strength of the ninja. He personally sent Fukishishita and Suzuki Witte Shinobi and ten upper ninjas and thirty middle ninja to prove their determination to complete this mission.
Yang Chendong, who sent this mission, turned his head as if this had not happened, and sent a report to Yu Qian, the city lord of Chiji City, asking him to arrange for the mining personnel to come to the Wa Kingdom by boat. Attention then turned to the battle to conquer Nankaido.
The war in Kii was as difficult as expected. The Japanese soldiers and civilians on the island resisted with all their might. As the sphere of influence run by the great general Ashikaga Yoshimasa, as an important stronghold of the Japanese naval division, the people here are still living well, and they are rarely affected by the war, after encountering the invasion of the five-star army, in order to protect their power, they are naturally resisting with all their might, and because of the participation of the people, the opponent is developing more and more.
Fortunately, Su He, the commander of the New Third Army, fully considered these factors before setting off, and barely maintained the battle situation. Just wait for reinforcements to appear, and it's time to fight back with all your might.
Compared to the stalemate in Kii-gun, the attack on Awaji Island is becoming more and more smooth. Although the resistance in the early stage was fierce, after the 1st Reserve Division became accustomed to the environment of the battlefield and exerted its full strength, the Japanese army on Awaji Island, without any foreign aid, finally showed a defeat and continued to expand, and finally after 12 days of resistance, the main force was destroyed and the rest were captured.
tasteless
The flag of the Five-Star Army was planted on Road Island, representing that Nanhai Island had completely become a lonely city with no support. If they wanted to escape, they would have to go through the artillery attack of the 4th and 5th Sea Divisions, which were patrolling the outer seas. After several successive shocks and heavy losses, they also finally became honest.
After successfully capturing Awaji Island, he handed over the defense of the area to the Ichichi Division according to the previous plan, and he himself returned to Kii County by transport ship with the 1st Reserve Division and a division of cavalry, and worked with the commander of the Soai Army to deal with the remaining Japanese troops here.
Compared with everything going well on the side of the Five Star Army, Ashikaga Yoshimasa's situation is becoming more and more difficult.
Although the opposition force of Hiraida has gradually lost its space for survival under its own suppression, it is the sudden appearance of the ninja killer for a while that still gives the general a great headache.
Fortunately, with the protection of the Marksmanship Battalion, plus the protection of the escort team that has always been very cautious, he was not succeeded by the ninja, but then a henchman's subordinates were constantly killed, and in just a few days, more than a dozen henchmen had died before and after, and it looked like the ninja had no intention of stopping.
Yamaguchi Fukata's samurai brigade has long since disappeared, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa has reason to wonder if they have been wiped out. And the appearance of these ninja killers also proved his guess, which was simply a means of revenge and targeting carried out by King Wunan of the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, it was his own first stupid move, is there anything wrong with others returning to their bodies with the way of others? He just wanted the ninjas to leave soon so that stability could be restored to his rule.

Eventually, the heads of the twenty retainers were gathered, and the ninjas disappeared as they had come. Ashikaga Yoshimasa sensed the wind passing by, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he swung his army north, and launched a final attack on Hiraida, who was already less than 10,000 troops.
Hiraida was once the minister of the Emperor of the Back Garden, and he rose up after being proclaimed to the world by Princess Junko and the crime of Ashikaga Yoshimasa. It is said that even if he is not Yang Chendong's ally, he will not be his enemy.
But for this person, Yang Chendong does not have a very good impression. Even if you are so powerful, why didn't you stand in front of the emperor in the back garden earlier? If this is done, where will it be the turn of Ashikaga Yoshimasa's family to dominate?
did not do so, but stood up after the death of the emperor of the back garden and claimed to be righteous. Such a person clearly wants to pick up a bargain, and Yang Chendong has no idea about such a person, allowing him to be weakened little by little under the strong attack of the general until he disappears.
Yang Chendong has never been interested in the internal strife of the Wa Kingdom, he is constantly accumulating strength, waiting for a battle with Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and that is when the entire Wa Kingdom belongs to whom. For this day, the alien divisions composed of various provinces were sent to the Wa Kingdom by naval transport ships, and the appearance of the fourth, fifth, and sixth divisions, and 60,000 alien troops made the chips in Yang Chendong's hands heavier.
In August 1458, eight months after Yang Chendong arrived in the Wa Kingdom, Ashikaga Yoshimasa finally eliminated Hiraida, the largest opposition in the country, and killed him in the chaos. Then he began to dispatch troops, and he looked like he was going to turn back and go straight to Heiankyo.
One ended the Wa Kingdom in the end
The battle for leadership is about to begin.
Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the great shogun after Hiraida was killed and successfully occupied Hokuriku Province, soon received a letter of surrender from the person in charge of Higashiyamado Province in the far north, and thus he became the new king of the Wa Kingdom. If it weren't for the sudden intervention of the Five-Star Army, I am afraid that the power he would have far exceeded that of the late Emperor Houtianyuan.
After integrating the army left behind after Hiraida's death, and recruiting many new troops in the area, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, whose army once numbered 500,000 people, went south and went straight to Heian-kyo. In his opinion, it's time to settle the grievances with Yang Chendong.
Awaji Island and Kii County have been eaten by Yang Chendong at this moment, and only Nankaido has not yet arrived. But that doesn't matter anymore, with the 4th and 5th Sea Divisions keeping an eye on it, still with the absolute superiority of high-tech artillery, the other side has no chance to come out at all.
Without any support, and even the supply of food and drink was completely cut off, Yang Chendong was also a little curious about how long the 300,000 Japanese army and naval division in Nanhai Province could hold out. Of course, now is not the time to think about these things, the general has already led the main force to wave down, how to block the opponent's offensive is the problem that needs to be considered now.
There was also news from San'in Michi. The local force he supported, Akechi Naganobu, was eventually defeated by the 100,000-strong elite army of Maori Masanori.
Originally, Fukada Valley's sudden attack, after snatching the grain and grass of the 100,000 army of Maori Masanori, it was indeed the original plan of the other party, forcing them to return to the division and turn around. But the elite is the elite, when the Maori Masanori regained the grain and grass with the support of the general, under a bloody battle between the two sides, it was not even a bloody field, and after only a slight resistance, Fukada Valley was defeated and fell, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the wise Nagashin, I am afraid that he would have hung up directly.
Mori Masanori is worthy of being the first fierce general under the general, even in the face of the alliance between Akechi Naganobu and Fukada Valley, he did not have the slightest fear, but ordered a fierce attack, and finally after six hours of confrontation, Akechi Nagasobu on the side of the alliance was disappointed to find that some of his allies had left him first.
The actions of the allies caused Akechi Nagasobu to lose his support, and finally had to regret the retreat, and because of this, Mori Masanori took most of San'in Province, and grabbed countless grains, grass, and people, which greatly increased their own strength. At the same time, it also increased the difficulty of Yang Chendong's conquest of the Japanese state.
Outside of Heian-kyo, Tamba County in San'in Province, Omi-gun in Higashiyama-do, and Iga area in Tokaido are all lined with banners and military tents.
In the Heianjing Palace, Yang Chendong did not have the consciousness of being surrounded by groups, on the contrary, he still looked relaxed. At this moment, he was looking at the group of subordinates who were following.
Tian Hu, commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Cavalry Division of the World, Ling Daqiang, commander of the 4th Army Division, Tian Ce, commander of the 7th Army Division, Su He, commander of the New Third Army, Xu Da, commander of the 1st Reserve Division, and the commanders of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Divisions were all on standing.
Behind them were nearly 220,000 troops of the Five-Star Army. Compared to Ashikaga Yoshimasa's 600,000 army, it is a little less, but in terms of the five-star army, this is already quite a large force.
