Those who came to see Ding Yi were not only the envoys of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, but also the envoys sent by Hosokawa Katsumoto and Sosen. The etiquette for them to meet Ding Yi was complete, and it was about the fact that for Japan, the tall and majestic fleet already had a preconceived shock.

However, while waiting for the reception, Hosokawa Katsumoto's envoy whispered to his companions: "The Ming Kingdom is not as good as before, and it is far better to see the Zheng Clan's Admiral Fleet before!" Zheng He's fleet, he thinks, in terms of size, sergeants, and scenes, is far stronger than Ding Yi's fleet.

Even Hosokawa's envoy said to the Shogunate's envoys: "If it is like the army of Admiral Zheng, then I cannot be the leader of Japan, such a fleet, hearing about the battle of Tsushima, the Ming army is also damaged, do the full strength of Japan, when you can fight and win, why bend the knee to others?" ”

Compared with Zheng He's treasure ship, which is forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide, that is, one hundred and forty-eight meters long and sixty meters wide, Ding's first-class battleship is really smaller; It is more than a circle smaller, and the number is also small, but there are only twelve. Zheng He's fleet was only a treasure ship with a deck length of 148 meters, 66 ships.

Not to mention this, in this era of China, it is customary to pay attention to pomp, county officials go out, they have to hold the wooden sign of "quiet" and "avoidance", not to mention Zheng He, who has such a huge fleet as the admiral, must be all kinds of honor guards, indispensable, Zheng He is naturally also a python robe and jade belt. To put it simply: especially when you meet the next country, you will be as bright as you are. Wear as glamorous as you want!

was changed by someone Ding and played the fire red army dress approved by the imperial court, which was very gorgeous. Basically, the design elements of the German military uniforms of World War II were copied, and elements such as ribbons and modern military stamps were added. But now it is a battle, Ding Yi's foreign army is a gray combat uniform, the Rong 1st regiment and the guard regiment are all black combat uniforms, and even the military rank and number are a few small horizontal bars, and those who don't know can't see that it is an official rank.

Where can it be compared with Zheng He's pomp and circumstance at that time? Therefore, the envoy sent by Hosokawa Katsumoto said something that was very well recognized by his companions, even if the faction was different. When the others listened, they also nodded and whispered, "Yo Xi! ”

When they were arranged to go to the flagship to see Ding Yi, after kowtowing, the evaluators sent by the shogunate put on a posture of wanting to theorize with the Ming Dynasty: "When the sample came to Japan, why did he wave his troops to slaughter the Japanese soldiers and civilians, what is the reason?" Then he said, "In the third year of Jianwen, the Great Nippon Shangshan received the envoy in the Beishan Palace. kneeling to receive the edict, the edict said: 'The king of Japan has a source of morality, a royal family, and a sincere love for the king. Crossing the waves, sending envoys to the ......'; In the second year of Yongle, Admiral Zheng was ordered by the Great Son of Tomorrow. The edict said: 'Tell the king to be ...... in morality', and Japan is not disrespectful to the Ming Kingdom. Why did he raise troops and invade Tsushima ......?"

Ding Yi laughed when he heard this, and didn't wait for him to finish. said to Cao Jixiang: "He looks like a human, why do you have canine teeth?" ”

Cao Jixiang was a little thorough, and immediately bowed down and said: "Young Master Renzi, I can't bear to see such a tragic thing, and wait for the old slave to heal him." ”

Healing, that is, when the assessing crowd was dragged up again, the mouth became bloody and confused, and a mouthful of teeth were pulled out and put in a porcelain plate, Cao Jixiang clapped his hands and said to the other Japanese envoys: "It's all right now, finally cured his disease, good people, you see, why did you have a mouthful of dog teeth?" ”

Liu Ji got Ding Yi's signal, stood up and said to the Japanese envoys who were so angry that their eyes were bloodshot: "He said, meet the Ming envoy in the Beishan Palace, this is one of them; He said that Japan was not disrespectful to the Ming Kingdom, and this is the second. Remembering his first offense, he will be punished lightly, and you must learn from this when you open your mouth. ”

This is the reason why Ding Yi said that the messenger gave birth to a mouthful of dog teeth, Japan was given the golden seal of the king of Japan by the great emperor, no matter what, this is the difference between the upper country and the lower country, if you don't accept it, then you shouldn't take this seal; Not only that, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's letter to the Ming Dynasty is also called "Minister's Source Morality", which shows that in this era, the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty and Japan is a vassal, which is a logical thing in legal theory.

Then, this judge should be the same as the king of Joseon, calling him "angel of the kingdom" instead of "envoy of the kingdom", let alone "receiving him", let alone "kingdom of Ming". This is something that cannot be ambiguous, and it is also the reason why in Gyeongdeok Palace, Seoul, Ding Yi finally left the king of Joseon, because no matter how angry he was, even if he moved, no matter how much the soldiers below scolded, the king's position in this regard was still very correct.

For this punishment of the people, it did not make those other envoys honest, and the envoy of Zongquan's faction sneered: "What a great majesty! It seems that the registered disciples of the sample were killed by the sample! As soon as he said this, Hosokawa Katsumoto's envoy knew badly, it should be said that the envoy on Katsumoto's side was much more clever, what could be said in private, everything could be said, what could be said by himself, what could only be incited to others to say, he was very measured.

"His subordinates are guilty, begging his subordinates to return to the family governor, and ask for the guilt of the inner family governor and Chikuzen to protect the great internal government!" Hosokawa Katsumoto's envoy decisively kowtowed to Ding Yi. This made the envoy of the Zongquan faction glared at him angrily, but the envoy of Shengyuan did not wait for the other party to speak, and had already reported the matter to Ding Yi first, "The noble disciple of the upper class had a dispute with the samurai of the Ouchi family in Chikuzen, and he was seriously injured and died, which is the sin of the Ouchi Masahiro, look forward to the example!" ”

Daiuchi Masahiro was Hosokawa Katsumoto's political enemy, and Yi Sunsin died in Chikuzen, and for the Hosokawa faction, they were really happy to see the dispute between Ding Yi and Daiuchi Masahiro, which was also a kind of temptation to see how strong the army of the Ming Kingdom was.

At this time, Ding Yi and Cao Jixiang and others understood that Yi Sunsin, who had sent an envoy to the shogunate with the monk Yixiu, went alive and came back dead.

"How about the samurai who taught him to die?" Ding Yi asked with a smile.

Hosokawa's envoy kowtowed and said, "Masahiro Ouchi has already executed the five of them and is being tortured. ”

"Looks like you've got the answer, go down." Ding Yi waved his hand at the messenger who came, and without allowing them to say more, he drove them away, dismounted the flagship, and exchanged the ships they had come from, without being kicked and beaten by the Korean soldiers.

Li Bing looked at it and said to Ding Yi: "Sir, the two countries intersect and don't cut the envoys, isn't this too much?" ”

"What kind of etiquette do you have to talk to him?" Ding Yi sighed, he didn't expect that Yi Sunsin, who did not die in the battle array, would die in something that seemed absolutely safe as an envoy, "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" Report it directly! Youzhi, it is intended to be begged for the Japanese. ”

left four regiments of the Foreign Legion in Tsushima, and Ding Junyue led the veterans of a company of the guard regiment to be stationed in Yanyuan; After the original 2nd Regiment was disbanded, it was replenished to the 1st Regiment, and the soldiers of the 1st Regiment served as junior officers, and then attacked Iki on the morning of the second day, this time it was a little different from the battle on Tsushima Island.

Ding Yi approved twenty mortar shells to Su Zhen, only ten rounds were used, one was calibrated, and then three mortars, three rapid fire, the army above Iki was scattered, the first regiment, the third regiment, and the fourth regiment of the foreign legion, a total of more than 3,000 people, all they did was to obey the order, chase the remnants of the enemy everywhere, and when the day passed in the middle of the day, Yiqi had already decided, and went down in half a day.

After staying in Yiqi overnight, when the troops were about to build on the second day, when he ordered the first regiment to land on the beach, Ding Yi ordered Ma Wensheng, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, to provide fire support with two destroyers. Because the Japanese people are not lambs to be slaughtered, they are wolf cubs, the governors of the Kyushu region, and they have formed a coalition army, and after they got the return of the envoy, they knew that the Ming army would definitely come to Chikuzen to settle accounts with the Ouchi family, so no matter which faction, they put aside their suspicions and gathered troops to build the front.

If there is no artillery support, the casualties of landing and seizing the beach will be very large.

However, under the bombardment of twenty-four rifled guns, the Kyushu coalition forces in the port suffered heavy casualties under the fire and explosions, and immediately fell into chaos and collapse, and no one interfered with the beach rush of the first regiment.

And Liu Ji drafted a document to ask for a widow, so he had to send someone to send the general out. The text listed the crimes of the Japanese state, "the heart of the disobedience is clear, and the act of rebellion is rampant", and in the tone of Ding Yi, he complained about the death of the Empress Dowager Sun and Li Sunsin, "first there is the hatred of killing the mother, and then there is the hatred of the murderer", so "the king has no action, and there is no way to educate", and the request put forward by the text is basically impossible for the Japanese to agree, not only to "permanently abolish the emperor's throne", but also to "punish the Gen clan".

If it's just the abolition of the emperor's throne, to be honest, the current emperor is just a spiritual symbol, as long as the Japanese people are hurt and scared, it's not impossible to talk about it, but if the Genji, that is, the Ashikaga clan, is all killed, this is to cut off the roots of the shogunate, do you want Ashikaga Yoshimasa to commit suicide to sue for peace?

Therefore, after receiving this letter, Hosokawa Katsumoto and Masahiro Ouchi's men and horses rarely put aside all their opinions and sat together to discuss countermeasures, of course, more importantly, the salvo of the twenty-four rifled guns at the pier, although it was only twenty-four shells, but the yellow-colored high-explosive shells loaded with * medicine were really not ordinary horrors for the lethality of the phalanx.

But the Japanese were not so tied up, and the envoy from Hosokawa came up with an idea: "Lead it into the city, destroy the city and fight!" Capture his soldiers to force peace talks! In the entanglement of the enemy and me, the thunder of the other will not dare to move! "It's the introduction of street fighting, and then hand-to-hand combat, thinking that in this way, the cannon will not dare to bombard down.

Although it's also a way, but the elders and courtiers of the Ouchi family are not happy to hear it, and dare to feel that this Chikuzen is not the territory of the Hosokawa family, right? This destroys the city and fights, not to mention winning or losing, isn't this building over? However, before they could get up and insult, Masahiro Ouchi stopped them and proposed another plan: "Pretend to be attached, deceive them with a feast of singing and dancing, capture their leaders, and the Ming army will retreat!"
