In today's Southern Dynasty, only a few monks and samurai are left to be loyal to them, and their strength is at most only one side of the princes, and they simply do not have the strength to launch a war to overthrow the shogun and the Northern Dynasty of Emperor Uta.

Since then, the emperors of the Southern Dynasties have been trying to make Go-Daigo Emperor Go-Daigo once again the supreme ruler of the Wa Kingdom, but they have not been able to realize this wish.

In the third year of the Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, sent the Hakata merchant Hitomi and the monk Zua to the Ming Dynasty. The following year, the Ming Dynasty canonized Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the "King of Japan", and began formal diplomatic relations between the two countries in the form of tribute, and began tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty.

And the Ming Dynasty even thought that the general of the Muromachi shogunate was the king of the Wa Kingdom, but there was no way to do it, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty was controlled by him, and the power of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was too pitiful, and there was no way to react at all.

But today, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, who was almost desperate, heard the news of the Ming envoy, how could he not be shocked in disbelief. So much so that after repeated confirmations, I dared to believe that this envoy of the Ming Dynasty was indeed looking for himself, not to the north to find the shogun or the emperor of the Northern Dynasty.

"Their huge ships are even taller than our castles, and on top of their warships, there are such terrible cylinders, once they fire, the sky and the earth will collapse, and our warships and castle walls will be like papier-mâché in front of their big cylinders......" The samurai, who had entered the palace with Nahattake, rested his head on the floor and respectfully recounted their initial contact with the Ming envoys.

Listening to this samurai's eloquent narration, the emperor's heart was full of mixed feelings. I couldn't have imagined that the strength of the Ming Dynasty was so strong that it was just a fleet of missions, and it completely destroyed the heavily guarded port.

“…… The castle keeper finally believed the words of the Ming maritime merchant and welcomed the envoy into the city for hospitality. And before the villain came. The envoy of the Ming Dynasty had already led his escort towards Yoshino. ”

"Da Ming is so strong? It's just that I don't know that the Ming envoy made me a great peace. So what's going on. Zunyi couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart. You must know that in the past, the Ming Dynasty once canonized the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the king of Japan.

And the Northern Dynasty has always carried out tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty, although for decades. Later, because of the Ming Dynasty's maritime waste, although the tribute was not cut off. But more benefits were obtained by those daimyo from the sea, that is, by means of piracy to deal with the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty.

But even so, what can be. No one was able to catch any evidence. Even if it is caught, when the time comes, like Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did back then, he will catch a bunch of hooligans and ruffians and the like and hand them over to the Ming Dynasty, according to the demeanor and temper of the Ming Dynasty, this matter will definitely not affect anything.

But now, this Ming envoy has come to make an envoy. I don't go to the Northern Dynasty, and I don't go to the general. Instead, he came to find himself, which made Zunyi feel a little afraid while being complacent.

After all, there is no way to know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing before the Ming envoy's intention, no one can say clearly.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister thinks that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty did not go to the Northern Dynasty to look for those rebels, but came to see you, which shows that there must be something beneficial to our Southern Dynasty. Otherwise, with the strength of that Ming mission, it would be enough for my Southern Dynasty to suffer heavy losses. ”

“…… Besides, if it is really unfavorable to our Southern Dynasty, then will the envoys of the Ming Dynasty dare to come and venture alone? ”

Although Hatakeyama Yoshishi is not a famous minister, he can become an important minister of the Southern Dynasty, at least in terms of strategy and ability, he is also a step higher, so seeing that the emperor is so worried, he analyzed the emperor Zunyi. …,

Hearing Hatakeyama's words, the more the emperor thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and the last trace of worry in his heart was left behind, and he praised it again and again. "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll be at ease, Hatakeyama Qing, this matter will be handed over to you, don't neglect the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, alas, I really hope that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty can come sooner, I hope that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty can know about the chaos of my Yamato, and restore the glory of my Dajue Temple."

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor like this, Hatakeyama Yoshishi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty until his death, but he was also full of pessimism about the future of the Southern Dynasty, and even, at the beginning of his allegiance, Hatakeyama Yoshishi never felt that the Southern Dynasty would have a chance to truly dominate the world.

However, for the sake of his own beliefs, Hatakeyama Yoshishi still made the decision to help the Southern Dynasty, although he was gambling, but if he used his own power to serve the Northern Dynasty, he was afraid that he would not even be able to add the so-called icing on the cake, and he might even be swallowed up by some powerful people.

Compared with the weak Southern Dynasty, Hatakeyama's righteous vote, which is a typical charcoal in the snow, is to make the Southern Dynasty have extra trust in him, at least, in adversity, he can serve him, such loyalty, naturally there is no doubt.

This is also the reason why the emperor of the Southern Dynasty used it extraordinarily and listened to his opinions.

And this time, many samurai and monks in the hall also agreed with Hatakeyama Yoshiyoshi's words, after all, his analysis was indeed very reasonable, so he quickly came to the conclusion that he had to squeeze out some more money anyway and wait for the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Strive to persuade the Ming envoy to write to the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow, telling him that the king of the Wa Kingdom was driven to the ruined place of Yoshino by a group of rebellious ministers and thieves.

It is hoped that the Ming Dynasty, the country of the suzerain, will fulfill the responsibility of the suzerain with a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and help the emperor to eliminate the rebellious and rebellious parties and restore the rule of the country.

Two days later, a procession of about 200 horsemen appeared just a few miles from Yoshino Castle. And the leader is Yuan Bin, the henchman of Zhu Qizhen, the son of the Great Tomorrow. Looking at the Yoshino Castle built by the mountains, Yuan Bin smiled and smiled at the Qianhu of the Son of Heaven's pro-army beside him: "You say, if I am the Ming army, how many soldiers and horses will be needed to attack such a Chicheng?" ”

"This kind of city, although it seems to be dangerous, is actually just a dead land, if it is my Ming army, only a battalion of soldiers and horses can be taken." After looking at it for a while, the Son of Heaven replied very calmly.

Hearing such a conclusion, Yuan Bin couldn't help but have a meaningful smile on his face. "Wu Rong, you are too light on the enemy, according to Yuan, at least three battalions of troops are needed, after all, each battalion has less than ten small cannons, if you break through such a city wall, it will take a long time, march to fight, the most important thing is the fighter, when the power of thunder is quickly decided, if it is too delayed, if things change, it is a mistake to plan for the general."

"The lesson of the adults is that the last general thinks badly, if the three battalions of men and horses attack this city, they can go down overnight." Wu Rong nodded, awe-inspiring.
