Chapter 289: Alliance of Interests
Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, was when the Mongol Yuan was strong, organized two large-scale sea-crossing operations, trying to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty's ally 'Fusang' (at this time it was already called Japan/Ben, and later this book will be referred to as 'Fusang'), cutting off the Southern Song Dynasty's Mengyuan overseas trade, but unfortunately, they were all returned in vain, and the history of later generations is vague about the reasons for the defeat of the two attempts to conquer Fusang. The history of Fuso deduces that the reason for the failure of the two sea-crossing operations was the hurricane, and in the end, there is no definite historical conclusion.

With the strength of the Mongol Yuan and the Goryeo Peninsula near Fusang as the rear base of the Mongol Yuan expeditionary army, and the inability to conquer Fusang, Hao Renxiang entangled the forces of the three-way separatist warlords, crossed the vast East China Sea, and tried to conquer Japan.
"Haha" Hao Ren looked up to the sky and laughed, and said with a confident look: "Now Fusang is in a state of division between the north and the south, internal strife is continuous, and the consumption of national strength is becoming more and more serious. ā
"Brother, I don't read much, don't lie to me!" Zhang Shicheng still couldn't bear to ask: "Xu is the Shen family has a conflict with the local Haoqiang (Daimyo), and it is unknown to deliberately lead us to use soldiers to take revenge, and the words of the family cannot be fully believed!" ā
"Are you Liu Futong's 'pregnant jade seal in Haidong, take elite soldiers in Japan/Ben' in Liu Futong's article on the Yuan Dynasty, made up by Du Zundao and others?"
When Hao Ren was in the fourteenth year of Zhizheng, he met Chen Sisong, a Dongying liar, in Liu Futong's Yingzhou military camp.
Chen Sisong belonged to the Fusang Southern Dynasty, originally wanted to connect with the Mengyuan and unify the north with the south, but it was unexpectedly that the Mengyuan was encountering serious civil strife, and he was still too late to take care of himself, and then traveled to the south, using the jade seal of the country to fall into Haidong as a bait, trying to connect with Liu Futong, of course, Liu Futong could not have the ability to send the Red Turban Army to cross the sea to help the Fusang Southern Dynasty unify the north, Chen Sisong was just a little in order to make a little achievement, go back to do bragging capital, then again, if Liu Futong's dragon and phoenix regime, can really overthrow the Mengyuan and establish a unified empire, Didn't the Fusang Southern Dynasty find a strong backer?
Hao Ren naturally used Chen Sisong's allusions to show that he did not listen to the Shen family's words, in order to prove that his source of information was absolutely reliable.
Fang Guozhen pondered for a long time and said: "What the generalissimo said is true, when I passed through the southeast coast, I once encountered the warriors of Fusang, but they couldn't speak Chinese, and I threw them all into the sea to feed the fish, if it weren't for the civil strife in his country, how could the samurai cross the sea to the west!" ā
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were already sporadic appearances of the Japanese invaders, and he was elected as the pioneer of the anti-Japanese war because of the coastal defense built by Tang He.
Hao Ren saw that the two princes hesitated, and changed their routine, and said firmly: "Hao Ren is at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, I think I have never suffered defeat, and now I want to cross the sea to expedition to Fusang, I have made up my mind, just because there are too few sea ships, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to cross the sea and plunder the land, if the two brothers hesitate, I will give up at this time, and I will conquer the land of Fusang alone!" ā
"Haha, brother is angry, brother is angry!" Zhang Shicheng snorted, and asked his younger brother Zhang Shide, who was sitting upright, with a sly look. When he saw that his brother, Zhang Shide, the backbone of the main body, nodded in approval, he said proudly:
"Brother Guozuo once saved our Lao Zhang's life, not to mention the temptation of beauties and silver in Haidong, even if the elder brother shouted, my brother should also send out 20,000 or 30,000 horses to support him for free, I Lao Zhang did this, and mobilized all my strength to go on an expedition to the East China Sea with whom the Qingfeng army was!"
Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng have always been all the way, and they both have the same work experience - selling smuggled salt, and now seeing that Zhang Shicheng has agreed, for fear that he will not agree, he will encounter a joint attack by the Qingfeng army and Zhang Shicheng's army, and they scrambled to say: "In this way, I am also willing to go to sea with the generalissimo, but the ugly words are in the head, how to divide the war gains?" How to divide the ground laid? ā
Zhang Shicheng said: "The road was found by Brother Guozuo, according to Lao Zhang, I and Lao Fang are divided into three percent, and Brother Guozuo is divided into forty percent, how about it?" ā
"Eh-" Hao Ren stopped: "In front of the two elder brothers, how can Guozuo be able to hold on to it, regardless of the chassis and the gains of the war, the three families will be divided equally, if there is anything wrong in the future, please also ask the leaders of the three families to discuss it, because of the small profits, it hurts the harmony of the brothers!" ā
"Happy!"
Among the three, Fang Guozhen has the weakest troops, but there is the most powerful sea ship team (transporting grain for the Mengyuan sea route), divided equally, Fang Guozhen felt fair, he shouted, pulled out a short knife, cut the palm, and the blood flowed into the wine bowl, and the rivers and lakes were full of anger: "Blood is an alliance!" "But in my heart, I have broken my own ghost fetus.
Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen both belong to the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes - they were born in smuggling salt, and they are allied by blood, and even Zhang Shicheng's intentions, Zhang Shicheng smiled: "This is the best!" With that, he also stroked his palm, walked to Fang Guozhen's banquet, and sprinkled blood in the wine bowl.
Hao Ren looked at his palm, and without hesitation, he cut his palm, and said in his heart: 'What is it to shed this blood yourself, I am afraid that your own soldiers will shed a lot less blood!' He walked straight up to Fang Guozhen and sprinkled blood in the wine bowl.
"Before drinking this bowl of wine, Guozuo also had a few words in his head!"
"Brother Guozuo, but it's okay to say it!" Zhang Shicheng said.
"This time, I personally led the team to sea, I don't know how many ships can be sent by the two companies?" Hao Ren said.
What if Hao Ren annexed their ships overseas?
"I sent 40,000 troops and 200 sea ships, and Lao Zhang and I personally commanded them!" Zhang Shicheng said.
"I will send 30,000 troops and 300 sea ships, and the old party will also be in command himself!" Fang Guozhen said.
"The leader of the alliance who went out this time, Guozuo should be the one to do, I don't know if the two brothers have any objections?"
"No objection!"
"The full-screen generalissimo is in charge!"
"Two allies, then Guozuo will do it first as a respect!" After that, Hao Ren raised his head and drank it all, Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng followed, drank it all, and after drinking, the three of them also had their own ghosts, each with an endless yearning for overseas wealth, Hao Ren couldn't help laughing.
The wine was added back to the lamp and the banquet was reopened, and the band once again played a cheerful joy, Hao Ren, Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng and others only cared about drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in large pieces!
Fang Guozhen said in his heart: "Navigation, I have the most advantage, once I land in Fusang, the wealth of Fusang's islands is all his own, he wants to split the land of Fusang and become the king, it is better than dominating the coastal islands of Niucha, how can Hao Ren have the strong strength to Fusang to destroy him?" In the future, we have to find a way to spend Hao Ren in Fusang! ā
Zhang Shicheng also has a ghost in his heart: 'Don't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons, take a plunder, make a lot of money, let's Lao Zhang's day and night sheng songs, be a happy king!'" ā
Hao Ren said in his heart: "You and the other main forces have gone to Fusang, the land of the mainland, isn't it my Hao Ren's bag?" ā
Although the three of them had their own ghosts, they finally temporarily alleviated the contradictions between the three families that were tense and formed an unstable temporary alliance for the overseas fairy tale dream woven by Hao Ren.
"Two allies, prepare for life, on the first day of February next year, the season of the three sea ships, we will cross the sea to conquer Fusang!" Hao Ren said.
"Only the alliance is obedient!" (To be continued.) )
