Chapter 35: There is no way back
Zhuo Jing left, and the smile on Yu Xin's face disappeared immediately, and his face became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yu Xin regretted tonight's conversation, because he knew what he had always wanted to know, but now he no longer wanted to know, and he also knew that Zhuo Jing did it on purpose.
From Zhuo Jing's words, Yu Xin immediately thought of the two unknown people who died in the case of King Chu in the past, one was Xu Zengshou, Marquis of Helin, and the other was Wang Du, His Majesty's chief strategist.
Like himself, Wang Du was also recommended as an official and had not experienced the imperial examination, and in today's court, most of the officials are admitted to the imperial examination, so Wang Du has some innate closeness.
So after Wang Du's death, Yu Xin sent people to his hometown to secretly take care of his family, and at the same time hoped to know the real cause of Wang Du's death.
In the past two years, no news has been inquired, and he is about to return to his hometown, Yu Xin has given up this idea and doesn't want to care about this matter anymore.
But, just now, everything has changed.
Yu Xin knew that according to common sense, he should report to His Majesty immediately, otherwise once His Majesty knew about this matter, the Yu family was afraid that there would be a catastrophe of annihilation, wasn't this how Li Shanchang died in the past?
Moreover, coupled with the former Xia Yuanji's rebellion case, will Your Majesty think that I am Yu Xin disloyal?
......
However, will Your Majesty already know about these things, but because they are so wide-ranging, that they will not be triggered for the time being?
On that day, the Chinese New Year was about to come, Wang Du's face was pale, he walked out of the Qianqing Palace step by step, paced through the noon gate step by step, got into his carriage, and went home.
That night, Wang Du fell ill and died.
The handling of his posthumous affairs was unusually sloppy, and His Majesty's reward was also very common, but at the last moment, when Wang Du's family left Beijing, His Majesty issued an order to give land to solve the livelihood problem of Wang Du's family.
This shows that His Majesty already knows it in his heart.
But, but, is it completely clear to His Majesty?
Yu Xin didn't know, wasn't sure, so he was very embarrassed!
In fact, Yu Xin has always had a vague feeling that the people involved in this matter are likely to be the people His Majesty trusts the most, at least Zhuo Jing is aware, but Yu Xin can't be sure, whether he knew about it afterwards, or participated in the planning in advance, and Wang Du is very likely to be the scapegoat they pushed out.
It's still not right, with the holy family of the king at that time, he will not be afraid of Zhuo Jing and these people.
Who, then, is he afraid of?
The answer is about to come out, and that is the palace - the crown prince......
Thinking of this, Yu Xin shook his head and sighed, things are no longer possible.
Even if His Majesty disposes of Zhuo Jing and these people regardless of the situation, the crown prince will not waver in the slightest, and His Majesty will not easily depose the crown prince, the reason is very simple, His Majesty is expanding the territory and does not care about such a "trivial matter".
His Majesty is the master of the great strategy, dare to think that the predecessors dare not think, dare to do the predecessors dare not do, changed the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, intended to conquer the four Yi, if everything goes well, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably usher in an unprecedented prosperity. But the more this is the case, the more likely his heir is to be the lord of mediocrity.
Then, if you go to the book yourself, you will inevitably hate the prince and the future emperor.
He died immediately, but he was not dead, and he still had children and a family......
Alas......
Yu Xin let out a helpless sigh!
......
Zhuo Jing knew that he had taken a risk, but he believed that Yu Xin would make the best choice.
In Zhuo Jing's opinion, Yu Xin, an old thing, is not old-hearted, and he is going to be a minister, and he does not forget to sell it to the prince, I am afraid that his intentions are on his two sons!
But it's good for both parties.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jing spread out the origami and wrote the fold......
The next day, the decree was issued.
“...... Yu Xin is endowed with national affairs, 14 years, the amount is out, water conservation and drought relief, the army is worry-free, and the merit is great! Specially given 1,000 gold dollars, 100 brocade horses, and escorted back to his hometown in brocade clothes......"
“...... I heard that Yu Xin was an honest official, and his family had no money to spare...... After the official office, at the end of his life, he gave forty silver dollars a month to show the court's praise......"
“...... Chin this! ”
After listening to Yu News, the old tears were rampant, and he thanked the emperor again and again.
After that, Yu Xin dragged the sick body to the Qianqing Palace to thank him, and Zhu Yunwen set up a banquet for him in the Qianqing Palace, and he came out at three o'clock.
......
After Yu Xinzhishi, the head of the household department was succeeded by Zhuo Jing, but the chief minister of Wenyuan Pavilion was replaced by Qi Tai.
Soon, Zhuo Jing dismissed the prince and the prince.
......
Hyogozu.
"General, the Japanese army has sunk under the harbor! Blocked the shipping lane! ”
"Hehe, this is normal!"
Zhang Rong put down the binoculars: "Order General Yan to immediately send someone to clean up the shipwreck in the port and clear the channel!" ”
"Yes!"
"Order General Tan to shell the shore to stop the Japanese army from attacking!"
"Yes!"
The Ming army's method of cleaning up the wreck was very simple, that is, to send people to dive underwater, find the wreck, fix it with a rope, and then start the Haicang boat, pull the wreck to capsize, and the wreck naturally slowly surfaced, and then was towed away.
Watching the Ming army slowly clean up the wreck, the wreck kept surfacing and gradually dragged into the distance, and the generals on the mountain, such as Hosokawa Yorimoto and Hosokawa Manyuan, were all pale, but there was nothing they could do.
These shipwrecks took them a lot of thought, and they were the only way they could think of to prevent the Ming army from landing on the shore, but now they were so easily cracked by the Ming army, which couldn't help but make the Japanese generals feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, and the knives and guns in their hands seemed to be extremely heavy.
By noon, the Ming army had cleared two channels in the direction of Ichinoya and Cape Wada.
The atmosphere in Hyogo suddenly became tense.
......
"Okay," Sheng Yong put down the binoculars: "Order Qu Yu to lead Shao Erzhen Lai, Li Congshan, Xu Bao, and Jin Nanxuan to attack the direction of Ichinogu and attack from west to east; Ordered Xie Zhen to lead Li Chengshan (Jurchen leader Aha Chu), Arutai, Ji Guizhen, and Bao Yanteng's troops to attack from the direction of Cape Hotan to block the Japanese reinforcements from the Ikuta Forest. ”
"Yes!"
......
"Is the Ming army about to land?"
Hosokawa Lai Yuan on the mountain muttered, his face showed a trace of solemnity, but it quickly disappeared, and when he turned his head, he was already smiling and confident, he looked at the generals and said, "The Ming army is about to go ashore!" The fate of the Wa Kingdom is in this battle, can you have confidence? ”
"Yes!"
Listening to the shouts of his subordinates in unison, Hosokawa Mitsumoto was very satisfied, these are the elites of the Hosokawa family, whether it is for the shogunate or for the Hosokawa family, this battle must be fought, and it must be won!
"Gentlemen, the Ming people are here, do you know what they are here for? Did you know? ”
Hosokawa Yorimoto pointed to the warship in the sea and said loudly.
"They are here to enslave us, they are a group of demons, they want to rob our land, humiliate our wives and daughters, and enslave our children and grandchildren!"
"You say, 'Can we agree?'"
"Can't! No! ”
The Japanese generals on the hill drew their swords to the sky, waving and roaring.
"Of course we can't agree, let alone put down the knives and guns in our hands! It's time to throw away your illusions! ”
Hosokawa Yorimoto pointed to the north and said loudly: "The Koreans believed in them, and now, they have become slaves of the Ming people, the Ming people have taken away their land, taken away their wives and daughters, and now the Korean people are living in dire straits, they want to resist now, but it's too late!" ”
"So we must not make the same mistake! We have to strike at the Ming people head-on, let the blood of the Ming people stain this beach red, and make this beach the grave of the Ming people! Can you do it? ”
"Yes! Yes! ”
"Behind us is Kyoto, it's the general, it's the emperor, it's our relatives, you say, can we retreat?"
"Can't! No! ”
"Do we have a way out?"
"Nope! No! ”
"Okay, gentlemen, the old man swears here, if he doesn't repel the Ming army and never retreat half a step, this will be the place where my Hosokawa Lai Yuan is buried! Everyone, please take a look! ”
As he spoke, Hosokawa Yoshimoto pointed to the side, and his son Manyuan tore open a hundred steps, which turned out to be a black coffin with a token erected on it, with the words "Hosokawa Yoriyuan's Spiritual Position".
Everyone took a breath of cold air, and then became angry, and the general Oda Eiei stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, as long as Eiyong has a breath of air, he will never let Akito climb to the top of the mountain!" Please sit on the top of the mountain and watch us wait for the bloody slaughter of the enemy! ”
"Please sit on the top of the mountain and watch us wait for the bloody slaughter of the enemy!"
"Please sit on the top of the mountain and watch us wait for the bloody slaughter of the enemy!"
......
Some generals took the lead, and the other generals were also excited, speaking generously, swearing to kill the enemy, and at the same time pulling out their swords, pointing down the mountain, and roaring angrily!
"Good! Good! ”
Hosokawa Lai Yuan had tears in his eyes, he gently raised his right hand and pointed down the mountain: "The Ming army is about to land on the shore, the old man will beat the drum on the top of the mountain, watch and wait for the triumph!" ”
"Your Highness!"
"Go ahead!"
"Yes!"
......
The rousing drums sounded on the top of the mountain, and the Japanese generals were excited, leading the team down the mountain, hiding in the woods, waiting for the Ming army to land on the shore, and then launch a thunderous blow.
Sheng Yong on the "Mir" heard the drumming, laughed twice, and said coldly: "The Japanese are beating the drums, then our army, let's open fire!" ”
"Boom!"
