Chapter 664: The Situation in Japan III

Ryukyu.

Tens of thousands of troops gathered in the Ryukyus, encircling the tiny Ryukyus.

The Ryukyu Shang clan also gave up the Ryukyu Imperial Palace as the place where Zhu Houhuang was stationed.

There were thousands of warships, large and small. Some of these ships were warships and some were civilian ships, filling all the docks of the Ryukyus, and many of them even anchored at sea.

On the island of Ryukyu, one camp after another seems to be endless.

"Your Highness, the Hosokawa family is here to ask for a meeting?" A guard quietly stepped forward and said.

"Oh. Please. "Zhu Houhuang is discussing with the generals at this moment the plan to attack Japan.

Zhu Houhuang understands very well that Japan is a big country, even if it is placed in the world, it can be regarded as a big country. It's just that there is a China next to him, which naturally looks small. Zhu Houhuang's troops at hand were simply not enough to conquer Japan, and he never thought of conquering Japan with tens of thousands of troops, after all, Japan was no better than Annam.

How should this battle be fought?

Zhu Houhuang hasn't figured it out yet. But one thing is certain, and that is to fight a limited war.

However, how to choose an opponent and how to stop in moderation requires the reference of industry personnel who are familiar with the inside of Japan.

At least it is impossible for Jinyiwei to have such detailed information.

After all, Japan is not an area that Wu Fengyi focuses on. Even if Wu Fengyi urgently sent some elite soldiers to Japan during this period of time, the intelligence could not be obtained in a while.

Zhu Houhuang was very troubled by this. At this moment, a person who knows the inside story of Japan is here, and Zhu Houhuang is simply overjoyed.

"Foreign Minister Song Suqing pays a visit to His Highness." Song Suqing bowed respectfully.

"Come, please." Zhu Houhuang said. He still has a little impression of Song Suqing. "I wonder what the messenger is doing here?"

Song Suqing said secretly in her heart: "It's just knowingly asking." ”

Song Suqing has been to Dongyong several times. Every time, it's just Xu Song's reception. Dongyong does not have a special Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but generally speaking, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty are received by Changshi, and the envoys of the surrounding countries are received by Shaofu, because Shaofu has the largest network and has contacts in various countries. It is more convenient to be received by them.

"The foreign minister is here to come to Japan for His Royal Highness's soldiers. The pirate rebellion in the East China Sea has nothing to do with the country. Please also ask Your Highness to be aware of it. Song Suqing said.

Zhu Houhuang said: "This Gu knows, but the order has to obey, if Your Excellency has any objections, you can go to Beijing and ask for Your Majesty's order, as long as Your Majesty has a life, Gu will naturally do everything." ”

Seeing this, Song Suqing knew that it was useless to go around in circles like this, and said, "Please retreat from your Highness." ”

Li Liangqin, who was beside Zhu Houhuang, said: "Your Highness's daughter's body, how can you be in danger? ”

Zhu Houhuang waved his hand lightly, stopped Song Suqing's words, and said: "All of you here are lonely ministers, there is no need to avoid anything, just say something." ”

"In that case, with all due respect." Song Suqing suddenly had a momentum on her body and said: "Although the country is small, I dare not take it lightly. His Royal Highness wants to destroy the country, and when he has 100,000 soldiers, he will attack through North Korea, and His Royal Highness will attack here. There are less than 100,000 soldiers, but they are far away from the ocean, and they already know the future of His Highness, and they are already in Kyoto, waiting for His Highness. Although Japan is small, there are millions of people, and the foreign ministers don't know how His Highness can win? For example, the two countries are on good terms. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Oh. Is it? It's just that I heard that the power of your imperial court is in the shogunate, and the power of the shogunate is in Hosokawa, and Hosokawa can't control the whole country, so I don't know how many reinforcements your country has organized, and how about my warship? You've seen it too. Likely to resist? ”

Song Suqing's mouth had a hint of bitterness, and said: "Your Highness's boat is like a mountain and a mountain, and the country can't stop it?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "There are thousands of artillery pieces alone, can Erguo stop it?" ”

Song Suqing gritted her teeth and said: "The power of unification, burning the city and destroying the country, the country cannot be stopped." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lone only needs to set up a ship on the sea, choose the sea and wait for the land, break one or two cities, wait for the army to come to help, and then withdraw to the sea, break one or two cities elsewhere, so that the whole of Japan is full of smoke, but I don't know how Hosokawa Takakoku will deal with it?" ”

Song Suqing said: "It's just death. If His Royal Highness has the intention of hunting Japan, the master of the contempt family is willing to make a life-and-death gamble with His Majesty. Never die. ”

Song Suqing's words were not authorized by the Hosokawa family, but he keenly felt that something was wrong. In King Yong's words, there is something wrong.

Without him, King Yong was too intimidating.

The strength of the Yongjun army is strong enough, if King Yong really has the heart to go to war, there is no need to show strength again, but should show weakness. The way of reality is the most important lesson in the art of war. Song Suqing didn't think King Yong didn't understand, coupled with all the previous things, Song Suqing had a bold guess, that is, King Yong himself didn't want to fight, and wanted to win without a fight.

Although Song Suqing also hoped to reach an agreement with King Yong, so as to avoid the disaster of war in Japan. But he knows better that at the negotiation table, he can't let the other party hold back his nose. That's when he said something like that.

Zhu Houhuang didn't know how to pick it up for a while.

He originally wanted to intimidate the other party and directly sign an alliance in favor of him, but it seems that he has already seen through it. Zhu Houhuang sighed, and secretly said in his heart: "I am really not the best negotiator. Today, I overstepped my responsibilities and made a mistake. Zhu Houhuang looked at Xu Song with his eyes. Xu Song immediately understood: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life. My Royal Highness is not willing to fight with your country, but there is an order of the saint, and there are some things that have to be done, as long as your country gives my Royal Highness a step down, my Royal Highness is still willing to reconcile with your country. ”

Song Suqing's heart moved, and he was extremely happy, his clothes were already wet with cold sweat, but his face was not exposed at all, and said, "What does Lord Xu mean?" ”

Xu Song said: "It's very simple, hand over the culprit. ”

Song Suqing said: "Who does Dongyong think is the culprit? ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Ouchi." As long as the head of the Ouchi clan is here, Lone will call off the truce and rebuild with your country for a long time, if not, Lone may not be able to destroy Japan, but it can also call you Japan, and you can't go to sea. ”

The Ouchi clan may not be the culprit, but Zhu Houhuang killed the Ouchi clan without a little wrong, the Ouchi clan killed so many people in Ningbo, and dared to pat his ass and leave, it was too underestimate Daming. Maybe no one punishes in history, but now that Zhu Houhuang has a chance, he is willing to take off a human head and let people know what it means to be a great tomorrow.

Maybe the current Ming Dynasty is not Zhu Houhuang's.

Zhu Houhuang is a child of the Ming royal family, and he must shoulder this responsibility.

Song Suqing ate a lot of capital, and the Ouchi clan, as the overlord of the Western Kingdom, is also one of the top forces in Japan, and wants the head of the Ouchi clan. Ouchi would never agree.

"Your Highness, the Ouchi clan will never agree. Please also think twice, Your Highness. Song Suqing said.

"Don't think twice about it." Zhu Houhuang said: "This is a prerequisite for the two countries to strike the army, without the head of the Ouchi family, Lone will never give up." Song Suqing, Lone has already given you Hosokawa face, otherwise you think that the Ningbo Rebellion, Lone doesn't want your life. Or do you think that killing people in Daming is so easy to end? ”

Song Suqing took a deep breath and said: "The minister deserves death, if His Royal Highness wants the head of the minister and the sect, the minister will take it down, but Ouchi Yoshixing is not something that the Hosokawa clan can do." Please also ask Your Highness to open the net. ”

"Lone doesn't need you Hosokawa clan to do it. Lone can do it himself, just ask your Hosokawa clan's opinion? Zhu Houhuang said: "Whether it is an enemy or a friend, it has been decided." ”

Song Suqing's heart turned sharply and said: "What does Your Highness mean that His Highness will only attack Ouchi and not Japan when he sends troops this time?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "You can understand it this way. ”

Zhu Houhuang is shifting his strategic focus to Nanyang and does not have the energy to invest too much in Japan, so it is also a matter of course to shrink the striking surface and reduce the resistance of the battle.
