Mud bombardment in Muromachi, Kyoto

"What the hell do these Dons want to do? Aren't they afraid of the samurai of the shogunate?! Gather the samurai immediately, and I will personally lead the troops into battle to kill these Tang people who do all kinds of evil! Angrily throwing the battle report on the table, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu yelled loudly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Meng Qiu's speculation was not wrong at all, the mud bomb at this time was in the Muromachi shogunate period, and it was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who ruled the Muromachi shogunate at this time.

The Muromachi shogunate, a samurai regime established in 1336 (the first year of Engen, the third year of the establishment of the martial arts) by the Ashikaga clan. Before 1392, there was the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the opposition between the Honji and Naoyoshi, etc., and it was not until the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu that the regime stabilized. The powerful guardian daimyo served as the "leader" and other important positions, and assisted the general. After the Onin Rebellion and Hosokawa Masamoto during the term of the 8th shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the daimyo clans in various parts of Japan conquered and annexed land with each other, and no longer obeyed the orders of the shogunate, and the shogunate weakened, and in 1573 (the first year of Tensho), the fifteenth shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki was expelled by Oda Nobunaga and the shogunate perished.

Ashikaga Yoshitsuki (あしかがよしみつ) was the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate (1368-1394) in the early Muromachi period. His father was the second shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiken, and his mother was Kirako's side room. The title is the King of Japan. The young name is Spring King, and the legal name is Luyuan Courtyard Tianshan Daoyi. He has successively held important positions such as Minister of the Interior, Minister of the Left, and Minister of the Imperial Administration. After 1366, Emperor Guangming gave him the title of full name, and succeeded to the post of shogun at the age of 10, with Hosokawa Yoriyuki as his assistant. When he became an adult, he fully demonstrated his leadership and ruling talents. In 1379, he conquered Toki Yoriyasu, in 1391 he subdued the Yamana clan, and in 1392, he ended the division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, completed the great cause of national unification, and established the absolute rule of the Muromachi shogun throughout the country, becoming the Muromachi shogunate at its peak

In 1394, he made the general serve as a monk and became a monk, and the real power of the public and military families was still in his hands. In 1399, he subdued the last powerful daimyo Hiroyoshi Ouchi, increasing his authority infinitely, and in 1407 his wife Yasuko Hino became the mother-to-be of Emperor Go-Komatsu. In his later years, he built a mansion in Kitayama, Kyoto, where he loved and searched for Chinese treasures, commodities, calligraphy and paintings, and gathered scholars and painters with profound sinology attainments to provide excellent conditions for his literary research and publishing career, thus forming a distinctive Chinese style of Kitayama culture. On the economic front, in addition to the prosperity of the domestic commodity economy, efforts will be made to develop tomorrow's trade. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, strictly imposed a sea ban and interrupted tomorrow's trade because of the rebellion of the Japanese and Hu Weiyong. It makes the Japanese government and the public, who are extravagant for Ming goods and copper coins, feel extremely inconvenient. In order to change this unfavorable situation, he overrode public opinion, accepted the suggestion of Japanese businessmen and Feifu, and sent Zua and Feifu to Ming in the third year of Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty (1401), and sent Ming Zhengshuo in the national letter, called Chennagong, and established trade relations between Ming and Japan. In the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1403), Zhu Di was proclaimed emperor. Tomorrow's trade relations were further expanded, forming a 10-year tribute trade, also known as the official trade relationship of tomorrow's trade. This trade relationship has continued for nearly a century and a half. During this period, Japan obtained the copper coins and commodities it needed from the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty benefited from a marked reduction in the plundering of the coastal pirates.

In Meng Qiu's era, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had not had time to go to Dahan to get an official, but he was robbed by Meng Qiu, a bandit leader: in just eight months, all the ports were attacked by the mud bombardment, and the sailors and fishermen were annihilated as long as they dared to go to sea. The Fujian Navy Division led by Meng Qiu was divided into multiple routes, and the main Tiger Roar Battalion occupied the nearest port to Kyoto under the leadership of Meng Qiu.

In just four months, Meng Qiu tossed the magnates, officials, and wealthy businessmen on the southeast coast, and everywhere he went, chickens and dogs jumped, wailing everywhere, and he saw that he was beheaded if he was unwilling to cooperate, his wife and children were sent to Liaodong Wild Resort for labor reform, and all his family property was confiscated. Everyone instantly understood a truth: this uncle can't be provoked, he is nine thousand years old, the emperor's royal brother, the big red man in the eyes of the emperor, many civil ministers and military generals in the court strongly support, and he also controls a big spy agency like the internal guard - he can't be provoked, it's better to be honest and obedient.

Almost overnight, the magnates, officials, and wealthy businessmen involved in maritime smuggling along the southeast coast all changed their temperament and became extremely fond of the country and their dedication. They scrambled to find Meng Qiu, crying and shouting, hugging Meng Qiu's thighs with a handful of snot and tears, telling Meng Qiu how much he loved the country and how much he wanted to contribute to the country.

"Ancestor/Plague God Master, you will take my life! I'll give you what you want, and I'll do what I want. I just ask you not to raid your house and destroy the door, just leave me a money to buy stick noodles. Everyone looked for Meng Qiu with this purpose, and returned satisfied one by one, watching Meng Qiu move away eighty percent of the belongings in his mansion, and arrest the evil servants and generals raised in the mansion, like human traffickers, they had to tie up with straw ropes.

Then Meng Qiu organized these people into a battalion on the road, known as a death squad, everyone trained hard, and the unsuitable people were killed directly, and the right people promised that every time they captured a place in the mud bombardment, they could burn and loot at will, and the rest of the property obtained belonged to the individual. This group of scum suddenly went crazy, one by one they practiced hard, strictly enforced the military regulations, and rushed day and night for the dream of making a fortune in their hearts, going to the mud bombardment full of treasures in their hearts.

After converging with the Fujian Naval Division, Meng Qiu attacked the mud bombardment with the naval division as the main force, and after destroying the ground troops in the port with the artillery of the naval division, he let the death squad go ashore. I don't know how long I held it on the ship, and the death squad, which had no alcohol to drink, no women to sleep with, and no money to earn, went crazy as soon as they landed, screaming one by one and killing people when they saw them, and cutting them down when they saw them. The death squad did not have a single living place where they went, and after some rage, they not only routed the mud bombardment defenders of the port, but also took advantage of the defeat of the defenders to kill a nearby city.

"It's really insincere to have such a low city wall, dare you have a good fight! I still have to wait to collect the money" Sitting on the Taishi chair, looking at the city with black smoke, Meng Qiu said with a depressed face.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is even more depressed, do you dare to slow down! Eight cities have been burned, wait for me! Wait, I'll catch up with you and kill you! I don't know if the mud bombardment man runs slowly with his little short legs!

In just half a month, Meng Qiuqin led the Tiger Roar Battalion and the death squad deep into the mud and bombarded the interior, and everywhere he went, no one was alive, a large number of cities and villages were burned, and the people, soldiers, officials, and nobles were killed. However, the pursuers organized by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't keep up with Meng Qiu's footsteps at all, and they always threw themselves into the air, often rushing out of breath from exhaustion, and could only see dead people and broken houses.

You must know that this is a chasing soldier led by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself, and he is going to collapse if he continues like this!

"Damn the Tang people, dare to fight me!"
