The sky was clear. 【】

Katsuhito's heart was full of gloom, as if the black smoke from the Seto Inland Sea drifted over him, covering his head and the imperial palace that had fallen into disrepair. He knew that the guys in front of him were bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and they were not very reliable, but he still underestimated the impact of the current predicament.

Ouchi Yoshixing, who is known for his strength, must have dealt with the Governor's Mansion of the Japanese Dynasty, whose name was extremely insulting, and suffered a big loss, otherwise he would not have behaved like this. Perhaps, one of the port cities of the Ouchi family has been razed to the ground, so he made such a judgment in the first place.

He was numb, and a counterattack was unlikely. The name of the Ouchi family's navy shocked the western country, and those navy troops in Kinai were like young children in front of a strong man, and there was no possibility of competition at all. And the so-called gunboats of the Ming army, if they are really the same as Imai described, counterattacking or something, it is even more nonsense.

As for the Hosokawa family, he didn't expect much from them originally. The Hosokawa family has been divided, and the principals on both sides are most concerned about how to overwhelm each other, whether it is fighting a war or winning over the daimyo below, they all need money, and the income of Kaimachi certainly cannot be given up easily.

However, he himself is innocent! The conscience of heaven and earth, those guys who went across the sea to make trouble, have nothing to do with him, the emperor, a penny. Those guys are all ronins, not even samurai, even if there are samurai mixed in the middle, it is also a problem of the big names, he can't control it, he can't control it, why should he go to Daming to ask for guilt for this?

Unconsciously, he also changed his name in his heart, just like his ancestors faced the Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, because of the pride brought by the achievements of the Mongols, the contempt for the Ming Dynasty is slowly fading.

He turned to the envoy of the Asakura family, the Asakura family was a famous family, and the fief Echizen was not far from Kinai, and the other party was still very loyal, and as soon as the Kinai rebellion was put down, they sent someone to pay tribute, so that Katsuhito felt very reliable and wanted to hear the other party's opinion.

The battle to defeat the Mongols was not the strength of the soldiers and horses of Kyushu Island alone, at that time, the soldiers and horses that could rush over to rescue the western country and even the Jinai were all gone, and most of the Japanese countries were combined to make a contribution. Now that the neighbor to the west had become stronger and was once again overpowered, Katsuhito wondered how he would respond if he summoned the princes of King Qin.

"Your Majesty," the Asakura envoy listened to the side for a long time, and he already knew the reactions of everyone present, and at this time, when he heard the emperor's inquiry, he was also very nervous, "The Asakura family is favored by the imperial court, and loyalty is always the first, so naturally they will not let foreign enemies overpower the court, and they will be disrespectful to Your Majesty, but ......"

"Huh?" Katsuhito squeezed his brows, but again, he hated these two words the most.

"The Ming army came from the sea, and the naval army of the Asakura family was very small, and it was too far away, and it was really ...... to want King Qin" From Echizen to Kinai, it was very close by land, but it was far away by sea, and the nearest road had to be bypassed from the Kanmon Strait, not to mention whether it could be won, even if it could be won, it would be too late.

Other daimyo may not respond either...... Your Highness, do you know? Hokuriku is also in the middle of a war now, and the Nagao family has now replaced the position of the Kanto guardian Uesugi family, and has taken its family name, and now it is called the dragon of Echigo, in addition to Echigo, the Uesugi family has controlled Shinano Province and is expanding around, Kai and Echichu are its targets......"

"Such a powerful man, if he is summoned in the name of the shogunate and His Majesty, shouldn't the Uesugi family gladly go?" The envoy's words seemed to be a bit off-topic, but everyone's minds were attracted to the past, and the daimyo who dominated the two countries listened to the strength of the Ouchi family at all.

"You don't know, the rise of the Uesugi family is just within a year, from the original small daimyo to a powerful man who shook Hokuriku, and it took less than a year, which ......"

The envoy paused slightly, leaving time for the listener to think, and seeing that everyone was thinking, he continued to explain: "I heard that the Uesugi family has received foreign aid, and in addition to the armor, there are also a thousand cavalry called Akabei!" These cavalrymen were well-armed, horse-skilled, and could even shoot bows and arrows on their horses, and this cavalry was obviously not something that a small longtail could have......"

"Again!" Ouchi stood up violently and shouted, the expression on his face changed, from shock, to helplessness, with a little dazed, but in the end, he was a little more envious, and his expression was extremely rich.

"Again? Why don't you explain to the widow in detail? "Katsuhito has been speculating for a long time, but Ouchi Yoshixing refuses to say it directly, and he, the puppet emperor, is not easy to persecute, so when he has the opportunity, where is he willing to give up?

"Yes, Your Majesty, actually, ......" Ouchi Yoshixing hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth about the matter, lest everyone make a wrong judgment and end up affecting himself. All this is related to the Ming Dynasty's Governor's Palace, which will be the king of Luoqin in the next year, and then ......"

He recounted the news from Zhou Fang, plus his own analysis, and then concluded: "As long as you obey the orders of the Governor's Palace, you can get all-round assistance, and then expand rapidly, Ryuzoji Temple in Kyushu, Mori in San'in, and now Uesugi in Hokuriku, all of which are like this, and Xia is the biggest victim." ”

Speaking of the back, he has the urge to cry, from the guardian of the Seven Kingdoms to even his hometown is in danger, this change from heaven to earth, is in an instant, if there is something wrong with today's difficulties, I am afraid that he will be completely stranded in the mountain city.

"His Royal Highness Ouchi is right, and the same is true of the news inquired into, the cavalry provided by the Governor's Mansion is the legendary Mongolian cavalry, those are heavy cavalry with leather armor, bows and arrows are difficult to hurt, and the lethality of bamboo guns is also insufficient, only the samurai can resist a little, but when the other party faces the samurai array, he often kills with cavalry shooting, and then takes the opportunity to break through the formation, which is really difficult to resist."

The envoy of the Asakura family also chimed in. If it weren't for Uesugi being more focused on Kai Raiders, I'm afraid that the Asakura family would have been trembling under the iron hooves, so he would have known the information of the strong enemy for a long time.

In the battle of the Mongols and the Japanese, the Japanese did not actually see the true strength of the Mongols, and the enemy they faced was not the same as that faced by the Southern Song Dynasty, which was a coalition army, mainly Korean sailors, plus a part of the enslaved Han army.

Moreover, the Mongols did not even complete the landing, there was no cavalry at all, and the cavalry could not be used in the mountainous island of Kyushu. The reason why it went so smoothly in Maori's house was mainly because of Liu Qi's command, and with him, the mountain cavalry was able to cross and cross.

Today's Wa Kingdom has become a plate of scattered sand, and with the strength of the daimyo in various places, even if they face only one or two thousand captives, they can't resist it, and they can only be terrified.

"Actually, in addition to the above three, the Hojo family in Kanto seems to have a similar situation, and on the way from Kinai to Tokaido and then to Kanto, I found that the equipment of many of the daimyo armies has been improved, and the battles between each other have become more fierce than before." The Minister added.

This man had just returned from a trip to Kanto, and what he saw and heard along the way also made him quite frightened. In the past, the casualty ratio of the battle between the daimyo was very low, and it was not uncommon for dozens of people to die and thousands of armies to break up, so the hatred value of the two sides of the battle was not too high.

But now it's different, thousands of people often have to be killed or wounded in hundreds to determine the winner. The Governor's Palace provided not only equipment but also food, which led to a higher combat effectiveness of the Daimyo's army than before, an increase in the proportion of professional soldiers, and an increase in the intensity of warfare.

It's still a short time, and it can't be seen in ordinary daimyos, but it can be seen clearly from those daimyo who fully cooperated with the Governor's Palace. As long as the cavalry is dispatched, then the defeated side will lose more than half, and those cavalry are bloodthirsty madmen, killing people like cutting wheat, killing purely for the sake of killing.

The minister's words were not only supplemented, but his implication was also echoing the opinion of the Asakura family, the method of summoning the princes and kings would not work, even if the powerful men who had become lackeys were abandoned, the other daimyo probably did not have the heart to oppose the governor's palace.

Everyone has an opponent, and if he jumps too happily and attracts the attention of the governor's palace, and then his own opponent gets help, it will be a disaster.

The transportation of the Japanese country is underdeveloped, and the exchange of news is also very slow, and this exchange of news has brought a lot of shock to everyone.

Ouchi Yoshixing's face is even more miserable, one Uesugi is already crisscrossing the Hokuriku, but he is caught between the two lackeys!

The two Hosokawas were also stunned, and one Ouchi disturbed Kinai's life, so that they finally had to bow their heads and accept each other into the shogunate. But those lackeys of the Ming people are even more ferocious than Ouchi, what can they resist this?

The envoy of Asakura was also very sad, he went to Beijing to offer gold this time, not only to curry favor with the imperial court, but also to poke out the affairs of the Uesugi family, and then let the imperial court issue a crusade or something. Colluding with the Ming people and oppressing compatriots, shouldn't this kind of annihilation be attacked in groups?

But now, he knows that there is more than one Japanese annihilation, but it has become a popular fashion, and when you become a Japanese annihilation, you can be invincible, otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you can't parry it, isn't the Ouchi family the best example?

Katsuhito and the ministers, plus Ashikaga Shogun, a group of people were dumbfounded. They are puppets, and the decree is not fake, but they never thought that in such a short period of time, the situation in the world has changed so much, and now it seems that the authority of the governor's palace is much greater than that of the imperial court.

Think about it, people have soldiers, money and food, so it's strange if they are not majestic! What now, yes or no?
