Li Zhi walked up to the four "daimyos" and stopped. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The four daimyos straightened up and looked at Li Zhi.

Chomune Ibu kinnori suddenly changed from a "village priest" to a "daimyo", and the rule of the Chomune Ibu family in Tosa was restored. Then he went to war in Osaka and got the Awa country, which can be said to be a sudden victory. He seemed to be still in excitement, and said loudly: "In the future, as long as the Jinguo Gongdian points to the destination, the warriors of my Changzong and my family will not say a word, just lead the troops to kill it!" ”

Li Zhi smiled and did not speak.

The head of the Nabeshima family, Nabeshima Katsushige, said with some concern: "Tsu Kuni Gonghan, now that your army has withdrawn from Japan, I am worried that the shogunate will take the opportunity to make trouble. ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "The shogunate doesn't dare. ”

"I left 5,000 soldiers and horses in Osaka, enough to hold Osaka Castle."

"If there is any major event in the future, you can come to Osaka to find Zheng Kaida. Zheng Kaida represents me with full authority and can handle all kinds of affairs in Japan. If the shogunate is not willing to be defeated and makes a comeback, my army in Tianjin will be able to kill anywhere in Japan within ten days. It was expected that the Tokugawa shogunate knew that it was powerful and did not dare to make trouble. ”

When the four daimyo heard this, they were relieved. The four of them bowed deeply to Li Zhi again.

Li Zhi didn't say anything more and walked up to the tail tower of the Yangwei.

On 13 February, Li Zhi returned to Tianjin with a triumphant army of 15,000.

Li Xing led Tianjin's civil and military officials to stand on the dock to greet Li Zhi, beating gongs and drums.

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he saw the welcoming crowd on the dock, and gave each of the 20,000 Tiger Soldiers who participated in the battle a reward of fifteen taels of silver. The soldiers of the Tiger Division, who did not participate in the battle, were envious one by one when they saw this -- there were almost no casualties in this conquest of Japan, and 20,000 soldiers easily earned 15 taels of silver, which was equivalent to four months' monthly money.

Fifteen taels of silver is not a small number, and a small villa in Fanjiazhuang is only fifty taels of silver.

On the way back to the Tianjin Acropolis, Han Jinxin rode to Li Zhi's side and said, "Congratulations to Grandpa Guo for breaking the Japanese shogunate, which really raised the prestige of our country." ”

Li Zhi nodded.

Han Jinxin said again: "Grandpa Guo, the news just came from outside the customs a few days ago that Huang Taiji is dead!" ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "Oh? ”

Han Jinxin said: "Grandpa Guo, the subordinate detectives are not effective, and they have not received first-hand information. In fact, Huang Taiji died in August last year. Immediately after his death, Dolgon, the Tartar prince of Pseudo-Rui, took control of the Manchus and began to deal with the nobles and officials who opposed him. Dolgon was worried that Hong Chengchou would take advantage of Huang Taiji's death to go on a northern expedition and conceal the news of Huang Taiji's death. It took him four months until all the Manchu nobles and officials had sworn allegiance before he made the news of Huang Taiji's death public. ”

Li Zhi took a breath when he heard this, and secretly said that this Dorgon is really a cunning character. Originally, after the death of Huang Taiji, the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell into chaos, which was a good opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to smash the Yellow Dragon. However, Dolgon blocked the news, and even Han Jinxin was deceived.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's it, set up more eyeliner outside the customs in the future, and strive to get first-hand news!" ”

On February 16, on the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, the faces of the hundred officials had a feeling that they could not react.

The officials were so shocked because Li Zhi had written a letter about his victory over the shogunate army in Japan.

Shoufu Zhou Yanru looked incredulous, shaking his head while reading Li Zhi's recital.

"The Tokugawa shogunate did not know the importance of the matter, and dared to burn the Li family fine cloth to prohibit trade. Deceive me, no one cares about the Heavenly Empire? He led his army to attack, bombing Nagasaki and then Osaka in the Wa Kingdom, destroying the Tokugawa Navy's navy on the Izu Peninsula, and entering Edo Bay to burn the Tokugawa Shogunate's Edo Castle. After several battles, he finally defeated the 120,000 shogunate army in Osaka. ”

"The shogunate army is afraid of our great prestige, and has given up resistance, fully opened the fine cloth trade, and fully compensated the ministers for their losses. From now on, the minister Li Zhi will lease Osaka, Japan as a trading port. Not only that, but the shogunate also designated five prefectures of Nagasaki, Hirado, Nagoya, Edo, and Sendai as free trade ports. From now on, my Ming ships can sail to these five places for trade at will. ”

"In this battle, the generals Zheng Kaida, Li Laosi, Zhong Feng and the sea guerrilla Zheng Kaida were quite meritorious."

Zhou Yanru finished reading Li Zhi's recital, looked at the Son of Heaven in surprise, and then looked at the courtiers behind him.

None of the courtiers reacted.

Li Zhi's little soldiers and horses crossed the vast East China Sea to conquer Japan, and he actually won.

For a long time, Liu Zongzhou, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, raised his tooth card and shouted: "The minister has something to say!" ”

"Say!"

Liu Zongzhou shouted loudly: "Holy Lord, this is impossible, Li Zhi must be lying!" ”

Li Zhi's recital is incredible, Li Zhi is a Tsu country prince, with 20,000 or 30,000 people under his command, and actually defeated the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled Japan. Not only did the Tokugawa shogunate completely convince him, but he also made the Japanese shogun cede land and pay reparations.

Li Zhi's 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, are they all divine generals?

Liu Zongzhou was the first to not believe this kind of nonsense, this must be Li Zhi himself putting gold on his face. As long as half a year passes, as long as the news from Japan gradually spreads, Li Zhi's lies will definitely be exposed.

"The minister has something to say!"

"Say!"

Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, bowed his hand and said loudly: "The minister thinks that there are many doubts in this chapter, and you should not be gullible!" When the Japanese invaded Korea, they often dispatched 200,000 troops, and the emperor mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to win the battle. Now, fifty years later, the minister heard that the Japanese population was colonized, and the number of troops was greater than in the Wanli period. With such a strong army, how could Li Zhi turn 'Edo Castle into a sea of fire'? Could it be that the 200,000 soldiers of the Wa Shogunate were all decorations? ”

"The so-called 'complete victory over the 120,000 shogunate army' at Osaka Castle is even more impossible. The minister heard that Li Zhi had garrisoned 10,000 troops in Tianjin and Shandong, and that the troops brought to Japan were only 20,000. 20,000 people! 20,000 people crossed the sea to attack, how could it be possible to defeat 120,000 Japanese shogunate troops in Japan? ”

Zheng Sanjun arched his body forward slightly, and said loudly: "Holy Lord, this recital is too sensational, Li Zhi must be asking for fame and fame, and wants to use lies to label his trip to Japan for nothing." At this time, the saint must distinguish the true from the false, and must not be deceived by Li Zhi. ”

After Zheng Sanjun finished speaking, the other civil officials all stood up and collectively doubted Li Zhi's recital:

"The king's boat seconded! It's a strange thing! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal! You must check Li Zhi carefully! ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zheng Sanjun, who made a generous statement, and the few white-bearded civil officials who were full of righteous indignation, and did not speak. Finally, he looked at the Jinyi Guard's commander Luo Yangxing.

"Luo Yangxing, is there any news from Tianjin? Is there any discrepancy between what Li Zhi played? ”

Luo Yangxing is also a military attache close to the Donglin Party, and he didn't want to see the civilian officials make a fool of themselves. But the Son of Heaven had already asked him, and he could not help but stand up and answer. Luo Yangxing's face turned white, and he held a tooth card in his hand and said: "Holy Lord, what Li Zhi played is true!" ”

Hearing Luo Yangxing's words, the faces of the princes in the court turned dark, and their eyes widened one by one.
