Chapter 594: Shameless Hu Ye
Ashikaga Yoshinori is the current shogun of the Wa Kingdom, and the current Wa State, the power of the shogun is greater than that of the emperor, so the affairs of the current Wa State are basically Ashikaga Yoshimori's final say.
As for his brother sending people to ask for help, he naturally knew about it, and he naturally knew something about Kuramiya Minoruhito, who had fled before, so he directly sent 30,000 horses to help.
As a result, when he was about to cross the sea to land in Kyushu, he encountered a huge fleet, and at first glance he knew that it was the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, because except for the Ming Dynasty, no country could build such a huge fleet.
Originally, he was going to let people negotiate, after all, this was an internal affair of his Japanese state, how could he let the Ming Dynasty interfere? But before his order reached the front army, Zheng San had already led the army over, saying that he wanted to negotiate.
At the beginning, the people of Ashikaga Yoshinori were naturally very tough, saying that it was the internal affairs of the Wa Kingdom, and they did not want the Ming Dynasty to interfere, but gradually, they were frightened by Zheng San, such a fleet, there are many more in the south of Kyushu, if they are about to do it, their fleet will be dispatched immediately, maybe this fleet will not be able to destroy the Wa State, but the Ming Dynasty has many, many such fleets, once a war is launched, the Ming Dynasty will do its best to destroy the Miè Wa Kingdom.
"General, I think that Zheng San is sensational, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has just ascended the throne, how can he launch a large-scale war?" Ashikaga Yoshimochi's staff built yì.
"You haven't been to the Ming Dynasty, you don't know that there is a lot of land and resources, although they have only experienced four years of war, but they will not hurt the root at all. It's only been a year since I saw them, and they've already formed such a huge fleet? If we really have a bad relationship with the Ming Dynasty, we will not end well. "Ashikaga Yoshinori went to the Ming Dynasty in his early years, knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and also had a deep fear of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise a few words from Zheng San would not be enough to make him change his mind.
"What then? Did you really give up on Kyushu? There's a lot of tax revenue for us. Your brother turns in a lot of treasures every year, and it's almost enough to catch up with the state's taxes. The staff was a little anxious.
"What are you anxious about, didn't you hear that eunuch say that as long as they leave, they won't interfere with us anymore? You go to talk about the assembly of the army, wait for the army of the Ming Dynasty to leave, and once they leave, they will start to attack, and a remnant of the former Southern Dynasty will dare to fight for territory with me. Ashikaga Yoshinori sneered, he didn't dare to provoke in the Ming Dynasty. A man with thousands of centaurs, doesn't he dare to mess with him?
"My subordinates will do it."
"By the way, you sent envoys across the ocean to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and explain the situation here to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, lest after I destroy Kuramiya Shiren, that fleet will come to me again to ask for guilt." In order to be sure, Ashikaga Yoshinori had to report the situation here to Zhu Di, after all, the influence of the Ming emperor. In the Wa Kingdom, sometimes it was even bigger than the emperor.
"Yes."
……
The reinforcements that Ashikaga Yoshito had been waiting for were delayed, and finally gathered 30,000 horses, but found that these horses were not vulnerable at all, and Ida 2 led 4,000 men and horses. And he surrounded them.
He was about to give the order to break through, but found that all the soldiers who were fighting with Ida Eryi in front of him had surrendered, after all, these soldiers were pampered on weekdays, and they had never seen such a scene. There were enough people who had died before, so when they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately chose to surrender.
So the Armageddon imagined by Ashikaga Yoshito did not appear. However, there was a great panic, but after a day, there were only 1,000 of his 30,000 horses left, and these people were all brought out of Kyoto by him.
"General, the general trend has gone, let's leave Kyushu." The fat man is still by the side of Ashikaga Yoshito, although Ashikaga Yoshito often kicks him, but he is so loyal, because he is from a samurai family, believes in bushido, and would rather die than surrender.
"It's useless, yesterday's defeat has already doomed us."
Ashikaga Yoshito sighed, now they are surrounded by Ida Iichi's team, think about his team of 50,000 people, it is impossible to deal with Ida Iichi's more than 4,000 people, he lost nearly 10,000 people, and Ida 21 lost less than 1,000 people.
"General, it's not over yet, the shogun will send someone to rescue." The fat man encouraged Ashikaga Yoshito.
"The heralds have been sent out for more than ten days, and there is no news yet, do you think there will be reinforcements?" Ashikaga Yoshito smiled bitterly, and then looked at the fat man next to him, "Fatty, I can see through, I usually treat you the worst, but you accompanied me to the end, this is the human heart." ”
"General, this is the spirit of bushido, this is the soul of our samurai." The fat man said very strictly.
Ashikaga Yoshito smiled, and this fat man returned to bushido, but it was this samurai who was the least bushido who accompanied him to the end.
"Fatty, you take these people to surrender, my brother has given up on me, follow me, you have only one way to die." Ashikaga Yoshito looked at the cliff in front of him and said loudly to the fat man.
"General, what about you?" The fat man asked.
"Kyushu is lost in my hands, so I naturally have no choice but to apologize with death."
"No, General, it's not your fault......" Before the fat man could finish speaking, he saw that Ashikaga Yoshito had jumped down, and he didn't even have time to pull.
"As a samurai, I must be loyal to my country!"
The fat man roared, jumped off the cliff, and could see the shadow of the Ashikaga Yoshito below.
At this time, the rest of the soldiers walked to the edge of the cliff, and the Ashikaga Yoshito, who was still falling, was very relieved to see so many people, thinking that so many soldiers would accompany him to jump off the cliff.
He was disappointed by the fact that the soldiers did not jump off the cliff, but spat at the bottom of the cliff, their mouths still moving.
Although Ashikaga Yoshito couldn't hear what those people were saying, he guzzled his mouth as if he was saying "two fools." ”
"You ......" Before Ashikaga Yoshito finished speaking, the whole person was overwhelmed by the huge waves.
"Brothers, the general is dead, let's go and surrender." Both the Ashikaga Yoshiren and the fat man jumped into the sea, and the rest of the people were left without leaders, and one man said to surrender, so everyone went to surrender.
The remaining 1,000 people surrendered, so the Northern Dynasty's troops in Kyushu can be said to be completely annihilated, and there are only some local garrisons left, which are actually organized by local residents, and even the garrison sent from Kyoto has been thrown, so they naturally will not have any resistance.
So it took less than a month to take the entire Kyushu with less than a thousand casualties, and he also incorporated a full team of 30,000 people.
Hu Ye knew that Ida III's team was very capable of fighting, but he didn't know that Ashikaga Yoshito's team couldn't help fighting, and in less than a month, they had all surrendered, and I heard that Ashikaga Yoshito also jumped into the sea.
"I thought it would take a few months, but I didn't expect it to be used for a month, maybe Yingxue's belly will bulge when I go back." Hu Ye looked up at the sky, it was only August, and he had only been on the expedition for more than four months.
"Dean, are we going to prepare for the class teacher to return to the court tomorrow?" Liu Guan asked Hu Ye curiously.
"The purpose of this trip has been achieved, of course, I am ready to go back." Hu Ye said with a smile.
"Boy, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." Zhang Dingbian suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"What do you mean, senior?" Hu Ye frowned, and before he could ask in detail, Kuramiya Minoru had already walked in with Ida Erichi.
"Are you going to leave?"
Kuramiya Minoru asked straight to the point, and he didn't plan to beat around the bush for Hu Ye.
"What? Our previous agreement was, you take Kyushu, I lead the troops to leave, is there any problem? Hu Ye said.
"If you leave, the Northern Korean troops stationed in Honshu and Shikoku will immediately pounce, and we won't be able to resist it at all!" Ida is more direct.
"That's your business, what I promised has been done, it's your business whether you can keep it or not." Hu Ye said indifferently.
"If we can't hold Kyushu, it's not good for you, and you won't sit idly by." Kuramiya Minoru said loudly.
"No good? Think about it, how much have you both lost after this fight? How long will it take for this Kyushu to resume production? If they're fighting once, how many more men are you going to lose? And how many crops will be destroyed? Isn't that good for me? I took the soldiers to watch a play, and it was enough. Hu Ye shrugged his shoulders and prepared to go out to call someone to prepare for the way home.
"You ......"
Kuramiya Minoru looked at Hu Ye's indifferent look, and wanted to go up and strangle Hu Ye, but he had to endure it, "Say it!" What do you want me to do to make you stay! ”
"It's very simple, pay 10% of the tax to the Ming Dynasty every year, and I will promise to stay there for another month." Hu Ye said.
"What! You ......" Ida Eryi couldn't pull out the knife on his waist and cut Hu Ye into slices of meat one by one, but he looked at Zhu Neng and Zhang Dingbian next to him, and finally endured it.
"In this month's time, you can train the troops you have just recruited, and you can also recruit new soldiers, which is enough for you to form an initial defensive force. Actually, I want to stay for a while longer, but what about my wife waiting for me at home, and my big fat boy is about to be born, so I can't be without them, right? Hu Ye made a good old man's appearance, and the Kuramiya Minoru who looked at it was itchy with his teeth.
"Half into taxes! Stationed for two months! Kuramiya Minoru began to bargain with Hu Ye, after all, the current productivity of Kyushu has been severely damaged, and if he has to hand over one percent to the Ming Dynasty every year, it will only make his learning worse, and it is already his limit to succeed.
"Nie Yuan, order the fleet to prepare ......"
"One percent tax! Two months! Minoru Kuramiya gave in again.
"Nie Yuan, give the order ......"
"Good! Count you ruthless! Kuramiya Minoru said viciously, and finally had to compromise.
"Shame on you!" Ida Eryi didn't care about Zhang Dingbian and the others beside him, and cursed Hu Ye loudly.
"Hehe, don't you know that I'm a well-known gentleman in Nanjing." Hu Ye was not angry, but smiled, as if he enjoyed the title of shameless. (To be continued......)
