Chapter 505, take the initiative to make peace

Hyogo no Tsu, Zhang Mao and Liu Jin's army has been resting here for several days, idle and nothing, and by the way, they began to build ports, bunkers, and houses here in Hyogo-nozu.

Well, this is a good place, a natural deep-water harbor, and the core of the Japanese Kingdom, the economic center, Liu Jin plans to stay here in the future.

Ahem, Liu Jin plans to lease a piece of land from the Wa State here, of course, as for whether the Wa State rents or not, in the end, he still has to rely on his fists to speak, and if the Wa State is convinced, he will naturally be able to rent it logically.

Liu Jindu has already planned, and half of the entire Hyogo Notsu land is being planned, and in the future, troops will be stationed here and a port will be built, and it will become an important colonial base to travel back and forth between the Japanese Kingdom and the Golden Continent.

"Zhang Gong, you see that this location is very good, build a turret here, enough to cover the entire Hyogo, whether it is from land or water, it is enough to set up dozens of artillery here."

Liu Jin was idle, but he also pulled Zhang Mao and took the telescope to plan for Hyogo Zhijin, and in the future, this will be the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to plunder the Japanese Kingdom, so how to plan it well.

"Why is your kid's head full of some strange things, can this Japanese promise the concession to us?"

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, this kid has so many ideas, he can come up with anything strange and weird.

"If you don't agree, you have to agree, this knife is on the neck, can they not agree?"

Liu Jin smiled and said very confidently.

The 5,000-strong army of the shogunate was easily wiped out in Hyogo-no-tsu, and the entire shogunate was in an uproar, as if a super earthquake had occurred, and the shogunate's army was so vulnerable in front of the powerful Ming army.

With the right time, place, and people, it was originally expected that these 5,000 troops would be able to block the Ming army for a while, so that the shogunate would have time to mobilize more troops from the daimyo from all over the country.

However, in just one day, the 5,000-strong army disappeared, and even Uehara Motohide died here, and the Ming army headed directly at Kyoto and the Muromachi area.

However, this is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that the daimyo from all over the country have chosen to watch the fire from the other side, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and there are very few daimyo who respond to the call of the shogunate.

Needless to say, Kyushu and Shikoku had no way to come over to the daimyo of these two places, because the Ming army had already blocked the entire Seto Inland Sea, and there were Ming warships patrolling the Seto Inland Sea.

And they didn't dare to come, the destruction of the Otomo family on Kyushu Island greatly shocked the daimyo of Kyushu and Shikoku regions, and no one dared to send troops, for fear that the Ming army would destroy them at will.

Here in the Chinese region, the powerful Ouchi family is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself, and after the army led by Yang Yun rests here in Iwami Province, it directly enters the core of the Ouchi family, Zhou Fangguo.

As for the Nizi and Maori families, they were too frightened to move, and it is said that in order to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty, the Nizi family even took the initiative to send food to the Ming army.

On the Kanto region, many daimyo were more united, and they jointly sent troops to prepare to fight Wang Shouren's army in the Tokyo metropolitan area, wanting to severely damage Wang Shouren's army on the East Road.

The only daimyo who were willing to send troops to the Kyoto region in response to the shogunate's call were the daimyo of the Kanto and Kansai regions, such as Akamatsu, Imagawa, Takeda, Chiba, and so on.

Because these places were relatively close to the Kyoto area, which was the core of the shogunate's control, the shogunate's influence still existed, and they did not dare to disobey the shogun's orders.

However, just relying on the daimyo of these places to send troops, this daimyo only has a thousand-level force, and at most they can only send a few hundred people over, and there are less than 10,000 together, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to deal with the Ming army in the Kyoto area.

The shogunate's greatest hope was that the wealthy clans of Kyushu, Shikoku, Chugoku, and the Kanto region would send troops, and the daimyo in these places would be powerful, strong, and ambitious, and they would be able to weaken them with the help of the Ming army.

However, now the shogunate's wishful thinking is empty, and only these surrounding daimyo send troops.

Liu Jin and Zhang Mao waited for them here in Hyogo for several days, but they still haven't attacked.

"Such a broken place, it's nothing remarkable, I have thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains, what's the use of such a small port."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Mao shook his head slightly, a little puzzled, why Liu Jin had to make a loan here in the Wa Kingdom.

What kind of place do you want?

What's good here.

"Zhang Gong will know in the future, I told you in advance, investing here will definitely make money in the future, if you want to invest, hurry up, don't regret it when the time comes, blame me for not reminding you."

Liu Jin smiled, the Ming people of this era are so confident, or they are empty-eyed, everything is good, and the moon of the Ming Dynasty is bigger and rounder than the moon in other places.

Daming is the best place in the world, except for Daming, it is a barbarian land, and people outside Daming are barbarians, not educated, and unrecognizable.

Liu Jin sometimes doesn't know whether to say whether this phenomenon is good or bad, but thinking about those who worship foreigners in later generations, it seems that this is also very good, at least where is the self-confidence and backbone of the nation.

"Newspaper~"

At that moment, a messenger hurriedly rode over.

"Say~"

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately said quickly.

"The Great Victory of the East Road Army~"

"Yesterday, Wang Shouren led the East Road Army to defeat the coalition army with the Uesugi family as the core in the Kanto Plain, annihilating nearly 10,000 enemies and occupying Tokyo~"

The messenger said hurriedly.

"Haha, okay~"

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately laughed happily.

"Beautiful, a cow is a cow~"

Liu Jin immediately laughed, and then took the good news written by Wang Shouren and read it carefully.

"Zhang Gong, there is no need to worry about the many daimyo in the Kanto region at all, Wang Shouren killed nearly 10,000 enemies on the Kanto Plain, and all these daimyo in the Kanto region have been hit hard."

"The Ouchi family in the China region is also controlled by Yang Yun, and it is estimated that they are not Yang Yun's opponents, so these people in the middle Kyoto region are left."

Liu Jin took out the map of the Wa Kingdom and circled it on the land.

"We're almost out of rest, and it's time to attack Kyoto and Muromachi."

Zhang Mao smiled and nodded, and then looked at Kyoto and Muromachi, which is the core of the Wa Kingdom, and Kyoto has the Wa King of the Wa Kingdom, and Muromachi is the core of the current shogunate.

If this place is defeated, the entire Wa Kingdom is almost equivalent to a broken backbone, and the rest of the things are much simpler.

"It's almost, take here, and then send troops from east to west to attack the Ouchi family, we must uproot this Ouchi one after another, and dare to levy heavy taxes on our Ming merchants, such a thorn is not repaired ruthlessly, and these Japanese people will not know and be afraid in the future."

Liu Jin thought about it and nodded and said.

"Newspaper~"

Just when the two decided to attack Kyoto and Muromachi, someone hurried over again.

"Say~"

Zhang Mao hurriedly said.

"There are messengers from the Muromachi shogunate and the Wa King who came to sue for peace~"

The person who came hurriedly said.

"Summation?"

When Zhang Mao and Liu Jin heard this, they were also slightly stunned.

I was preparing to attack Kyoto and the Shogunate area, and the messenger of the Shogunate and the Wa King came to sue for peace, and it felt like a fist hit the air, which made people extremely depressed.

"Haha, it seems that they are also afraid, and they have all taken the initiative to come over and sue for peace."

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately laughed happily.

It's good not to fight, this soldier who surrenders without a fight is the most clever, and what can be obtained at the negotiating table does not need to be obtained by force.

"Even if they know each other, if the dead duck has a hard mouth, when we get to Kyoto and Muromachi, they won't even be qualified to negotiate."

Liu Jin thought about it carefully, and also smiled and nodded.

It's really about to negotiate, and if you think about it in a different position, you will take the initiative to make peace.

The shogunate itself has already been wiped out, and if it continues to fight, the shogunate's forces will be exhausted, and what will be used to maintain the current rule.

Originally, it was planned to use the hands of the Ming army to weaken the daimyo in various places, but the daimyo in various places were not weakened, but the shogunate itself was weakened first.

It is not wise at all to continue fighting, and it is wise to take the initiative to seek peace.

"Liu Jin, do you think we should talk to them?"

Zhang Mao nodded slightly, thought about it and asked.

"Let's talk, why don't we talk, see what they say, anyway, the initiative is in our hands, if they can agree to our request, we can naturally let them go, if they don't agree to our request, we will continue to fight until they agree."

Liu Jin said without thinking about it.

"Well, I'd like to see what they're going to say."

Zhang Mao nodded, after all, this Ming Dynasty is the suzerain, and the Wa State is still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in name.

Liu Jin on the side touched his chin and watched it.

"Negotiation is a good project, according to the rules of later generations, this land cession and compensation are basic operations, and unilateral consular jurisdiction and trade priority are also indispensable."

"How to go under the knife, this shogunate has weak control over the daimyo in various parts of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa King has no influence, even if they sign the agreement, how to ensure the implementation is another problem."

"It's true that you can't fight, if you continue to fight, this shogunate is gone, and this Japanese country is even more chaotic, so you can't sign agreements with these daimyo one by one."

"Well, you can't fight, you still have to keep this shogunate and maintain the current situation of the Wa Kingdom, a divided Wa State is the best Wa Kingdom."
