Ashikaga Yoshimasa suddenly became a member of the Northern Ming court.

Even if it's just that the current Northern Ming is far less brilliant than the previous Ming Dynasty, it still brings a lot of pressure to the other warlords of the Wa Kingdom, and some of the small forces of the Wa State who were originally going to send troops to continue to harass the generals hesitated and turned into standing still.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ashikaga Yoshimasa sent the eloquent and resourceful Ninki Tahide to various places, exerting pressure and showing goodwill. said that as long as they can abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, the past can be blamed, and even when the new kingdom is established, they will consider striving for more benefits for everyone.

As soon as the promise came out, coupled with the ability of Ningxi Duoxiu, soon responders gathered.

Again, interests are the eternal topic. In the face of interests, the previous dirty things were nothing at all, and in just ten days, seven small and medium-sized forces expressed their intention to attach themselves to Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and these people together were about 15,000 people.

Although the number of people does not seem to be very large, it is difficult to start everything, and once you have a good beginning, the next thing is much easier. Another 10 days passed, and another 30,000 people changed their ways, turning from their previous opposition to Ashikaga Yoshimasa to supporters. Not only that, but among these 30,000 people, there were 10,000 allies who originally belonged to the Hiraida Union.

Under the situation of this situation, the crisis of Hiraida was present, and the team was not monolithic, so the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa began to counterattack, taking this opportunity to attack Hokuriku, and five days later took Echizen County in Hokuriku Province, and approached Echichu County, Hiraida's base camp.

Two months have passed since Yang Chendong got the jurisdiction of Shanyang Dao. The relocation of the people has been completed, and the people transferred from other provinces and regions are also integrating into the environment and climate as much as possible, and in half a month, the work of dividing the fields can be ended.

Yang Chendong had already made a decision in his heart about Beiming's meddling in the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom, and he did not choose to back down, but rose to the occasion.

First, the current chaotic Wa Kingdom is a good time to start on its own. If you retire now, I don't know when the next great opportunity will appear.

Second, compared to the goals he set, it is not difficult to imagine that Yang Chendong's time is tight, and he will never allow his limited time to be wasted on such things as the Wa Kingdom. What about Beiming? If you are right, you are right, Mo said that he is no longer the Ming Dynasty in the glory period, even if he is, with the advantage of the big warehouse, he is not afraid.

Speaking of Okura's superiority, Yang Chendong had already sent a telegram to the Army Command Headquarters, ordering Deputy Commander Leng Song to send the 4th Division of the 1st Army Army and the 7th Division of the 2nd Army in Southeast Asia to the border of the Japanese Kingdom by transport ships.

This time not only two firearms army divisions were used, but also a lot of artillery with them, Yang Chendong was ruthless, if Ashikaga Yoshimasa resisted too fiercely, then he didn't mind using cannonballs to teach the other party how to behave, in short, he was destroyed once the Japanese kingdom was destroyed!

Prior to this, Yang Chendong first contacted Hu Mang and Yu Mian and others in Shicheng, and directly explained that once he continued to make moves here in the Wa Kingdom, it was likely that Beiming would cut off the transportation line, and at that time, would the other party be able to ensure the supply of basic materials to the Far East State while being self-sufficient.

It is not easy to say that the First City has only been built for a few years, and it is not easy to be self-sufficient without the support of the Red Embedded City, and now it is necessary to provide help to the Far Eastern State, although it is only a basic supply, but the pressure is also not small.

In this regard, Yang Chendong did not have too many expectations, but to his surprise, Hu Mang and Yu Mian quickly replied without questions after some discussion.

God knows how much pressure they put on when they made this answer. When Yang Chendong received the callback, he was excited and at the same time, he made Wang flash the call, thanking Hu Mang and Yu Mian for their sacrifices for the overall situation, and at the same time, he would solve the matter of the Wa Kingdom as soon as possible and reopen the transportation line.

Not to mention that Yang Chendong is making all kinds of preparations and efforts, Ashikaga Yoshimasa is also not idle, after getting the support of Beiming, he seems to have become the embodiment of justice and the existence of orthodoxy. More and more forces have taken refuge in him, and there are still many intermediate forces that are shaking, and it can be seen that it may not be long before these people will choose him. This directly caused great pressure on Hirata Well.

The original allies either rebelled directly or wavered, and it became impossible to point to them anyway. The army has changed from 150,000 to less than 100,000 today, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa's offensive horn has also begun to sound, and he wants to take advantage of the situation to settle the situation.

can make Ashikaga Yoshimasa so confident, but also due to Kobayakawa's secret surrender.

Kobayakawa was a force with nearly 20,000 troops, and his strength was enough to be called a daimyō. Originally, he was not used to Ashikaga Yoshimasa, or he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, so he reached an alliance with the so-called like-minded Hiraida, which caused a lot of trouble to his opponent for a while.

With Daizong Zhu Qiyu's move, Ashikaga Yoshimasa's confidence began to increase, and it also changed Kobayakawa's mind for a while. Especially after secretly meeting Ning Xi Duoxiu, the balance in his heart finally changed.

Ninki Tahide is a very smart person, and this time he not only wants Kobayakawa to become a pawn in his hands, but also asks him not to announce the surrender of Cheng, and to be ready to give Hiraida a heavy blow at a critical moment at any time, as a vote for him to join the general's account.

When you come, you can make meritorious contributions, of course Kobayakawa will not refuse, so he agreed to it in one bite, and then began to wait for the opportunity. When he finally saw the general attack, he knew he was about to come in handy.

Secretly transfer troops, and be ready to attack at any time to give Hiraida a knife. But it was at this time that a piece of news came that made him hesitate.

In just three days, six large and small leaders of the Japanese kingdom who had defected to Ashikaga Yoshimasa were secretly assassinated. There was no clue afterwards, and who the murderer was became a mystery, blurring the situation that had seemed clear again.

The sudden assassination plan made Xiao Ikawa, who was already ready to do it, hesitate. Years of experience in the struggle have taught him that this matter is strange, and if he can't figure out what is going on, he is likely to regret it for the rest of his life if he makes a random decision.

There are many people who have the same idea as Xiao Icheon. After all, six people died in three days, and if it was a coincidence, no one would believe it, so the question arises, why did they die, and why were they killed so quietly?

Considering that although these six people were born in different places, their power and power are different, and their ages are also quite different, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all people who once opposed Ashikaga Yoshimasa and now support him, which is terrifying.

Could it be that their backsliding behavior has made anyone angry?

From the point of view of effect, being able to kill six people with a shot without leaving any evidence is not something that ordinary people can do. Could it be that Hiraida can't do it?

After all, this person had stayed with the Emperor of the Back Garden, and more importantly, he was born in a ninja family, and with such a heritage, it was naturally not surprising that he could do such a thing. But could it really be him? Was he warning others?

Hiraida, who was speculated by everyone, was also secretly sad at this moment in Echichu County in Hokuriku Province.

The assassination was really not done by him, it is true that he was born in a ninja family, but no one knows better than him that the ninja masters of the family he is in have long since withered, and the only thing he can really do is Xiao Shilong, who is always protecting his side.

How could Hiraida, who no longer had the ability to threaten others and could only be on the defensive, do such a thing? For this reason, he also specially called Xiao Shilon to ask him about this. "Konishi-kun, could it be that you have a very good relationship with our family or that your former friends can't see what they do?"

"Won't?" After only a slight hesitation, Xiao Shillong gave an answer.

As if he found that Hirai Tian was a little unconvinced, he replied solemnly, "If it is only one or two people who died, it may be that they did it, but six people died at once, which is a little too incredible." As you know, the clan's ninja power has long since declined, and they don't have the ability to do it even if they want to. ”

Xiao Shilong's answer completely broke off Hiraida's thoughts, and he had to sigh and say, "Who could it be?" ”

"General, it shouldn't be the Wakoku people, most of the current ninja forces are in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, he won't do this kind of self-cutting feather thing, and because of his existence, there won't be anyone in the Wa country who has such strength and guts, so..."

Listening to Xiao Xilong's analysis, Hirai Tian felt that he had caught something, "So you said that it wasn't done by the Japanese people, could it be King Wunan?" ”

......

"It's King Wunan, it must be him." Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who was in Echizen-gun, Hokriku Province, was roaring angrily in a compound that had just been occupied.

At first, like everyone else, he set the killer on Hiraida's body. Who made him his worst enemy now, and he also has a ninja background. But when he also called Matsumoto Kazama, who was in charge of the ninja, he ruled out the possibility that Hiraida was behind the scenes from the analysis of the killing method, and finally set the target on Yang Chendong.
