Ashikaga Yoshikie looked at the Venerable Master, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Venerable Master, is there any hope for this general?" ”

Although Ashikaga Yoshi-nak did not say it explicitly, the Venerable Master understood the meaning of Ashikaga Yoshi-suk's words, so he heard the Venerable Master shake his head and said: "If the general can unify Dongying and devote all his strength to the whole country, it is not impossible to fight with the Ming Dynasty, although he cannot win a big victory, there is no problem in defending the land and Anbang." ”

If Dongying really uses the power of the whole country, coupled with factors such as the right time, place and people, even if Chu Yi is in charge, it will take a lot of effort to take down Dongying.

It's a pity that Toei fell into a split since the Onin Rebellion, not to mention the unification of Toei, and the orders of Ashikaga Yoshinoki, the nominal shogun, may not be able to be obeyed by many people when they leave Kyoto.

Staring at Ashikaga Yoshiki, the Venerable Master shouted, "Please also ask the general to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

With his eyes shrinking, Ashikaga Yoshinoki glanced at the Venerable Master, gritted his teeth and said, "This general is willing to surrender!" ”

Although there are still tens of thousands of horses in his hands, with the walls of Kyoto, he may not have the strength to fight, but Ashikaga Yoshinoki is afraid.

If Ashikaga Yoshikie really has the means and heart of a hero, I am afraid that it will be impossible for the shogunate's orders to leave the land of Kyoto.

In Ashikaga Yoshiki's view, since he is destined not to be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, surrendering early may not be a way out, it is better than being defeated and killed.

Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshikie made up his mind at the beginning, so he personally led his men into the Kyoto Imperial Palace and captured the emperor.

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara never understood what Ashikaga Yoshinoki was doing by breaking into the Kyoto Imperial Palace and arresting himself without killing him, but at this moment he reacted all at once.

Emotionally, Ashikaga Yoshikik grabbed him, but wanted to use him as a step into the body.

It is conceivable that Ashikaga Yoshiki has the merit of dedicating the city, plus he is dedicated to the emperor, even Chu Yi has to look at him, even if he sees the great tomorrow, the great tomorrow will look at Ashikaga Yoshizhi differently, and when the time comes, he will be rewarded with a title, but the glory and wealth of the second half of his life are guaranteed.

Realizing this, Emperor Go-Kashiwahara's face suddenly turned pale, and he roared at Ashikaga Yoshinoki and cursed angrily.

On the surface, Dongying ruled but he, the emperor, if he surrendered, then everyone else would have hope of life, but he, the emperor, had no hope of survival.

Ashikaga Yoshikie can even get a reward from the Ming Dynasty for his dedication to the city, but he, the Emperor of Toei, is about to lose his life, no wonder Emperor Kashiwahara reacts so fiercely.

Since he has made a decision, Ashikaga Yoshinoki is also a resolute person, and decisively said to the above: "I also ask the Venerable Master to introduce His Royal Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty to the next, and say that this general is willing to surrender." ”

A slight smile appeared on the face of the Venerable Master, and he looked at Ashikaga Yoshinoki with a slight bow: "If His Royal Highness King Wu knows this news, he will definitely be very happy, and the glory and wealth of the general in the second half of his life will definitely be inexhaustible." ”

With Ashikaga Yoshinoki's order, the tens of thousands of defenders of Kyoto Castle did not make the slightest resistance, and under the leadership of Ashikaga Yoshinoki, they put down their weapons and surrendered to the Ming soldiers and horses outside the city.

Ashikaga Yoshikie personally took his henchmen to Emperor Go-Kashiwahara, and then under the guidance of the Venerable Master, he left Kyoto City and headed in the direction of Chu Yi in the distance.

There is no edge in sight on the vast ocean, and there is no other scene in sight beyond the waves and the occasional fish jumping out of the water on the blue sea.

However, at this time, there were a few black spots on the sea in the distance, and it didn't take long for the black spots to gradually get bigger, and finally it was vaguely clear that a continuous fleet of ships appeared on the sea surface in the distance.

This is a huge fleet, one, two, black and oppressive, this is a huge fleet of dozens of ships.

The most important thing is that this sea area is already a sea area off the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no other fleet in Suri except for the merchant ships that go to sea.

Even the merchant ships that went to sea did not have such a large scale, and this fleet composed of almost dozens of ships was obviously different from the ships built by the Ming Dynasty only by looking at the appearance and demeanor of the ships on the sea.

This turned out to be a sail warship with obvious Western characteristics in the Age of Discovery.

Headed by the flagship, as the governor of this fleet, Daliqisi stood on the ship and looked to the east.

When Marco Polo returned to the West from Dayuan, he wrote Marco Polo's travels, in Marco Polo's pen, the ancient country of the East is a golden country, it seems that the land is full of gold, and in his pen, the Dongying Island country is to build houses with gold, which can be described as extremely exaggerated.

It is said that not many people will believe this kind of description, but those Westerners who have read Marco Polo's travels are convinced of the ancient golden country described in Marco Polo's book.

If the great empire of the East was not full of gold, how could it have produced such exquisite porcelain and silk?

Therefore, since the advent of the Age of Discovery, one by one the fleets of the West have wanted to find a passage from the sea to the East.

With Spain and Portugal, the two great maritime powers, invincible across the ocean, Dalicis, as the captain of a Portuguese detachment, led his fleet to sail across the sea for several months, and finally crossed the ocean and entered the East.

In front of Daliqisi, a man dressed in silk and obviously with an oriental face stood there in fear, and when he looked at Daliqisi, his eyes showed infinite fear, and it was obvious that Daliqisi had left an extremely terrible impression on him.

Chen Wei couldn't wait to tear the alien race in front of him alive, but thinking that his crew and relatives had been killed by the other party, as soon as Chen Wei closed his eyes, the scenes of those relatives and subordinates being tortured and killed would appear in his heart, making Chen Wei tremble.

"Chen, tell me, there are still a few days before you reach your country's sea!"

Chen Wei took a deep breath, glanced at the other party, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "This general, you can reach the nearest port in one more day's journey, and then you can set foot on the land of the legendary Golden Country." ”

Daliqisi patted Chen Wei's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "If this is the case, General Ben will keep his promise and spare your life!" ”

As the captain of a fleet whose hands were covered in blood as Portugal was expanding abroad, killing people was as normal for him as eating and drinking tea.

In Daliqisi's eyes, Chen Wei's life was nothing at all, as long as he wanted to, he could kill him at any time.

Chen Wei lowered his head, his fists were clenched in the long sleeves, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he said silently in his heart: "You aliens, even if I, Chen Wei, die, I will not let you wait." ”

The Ming Dynasty sent an army of more than 100,000 to conquer Dongying, and it was impossible to hide it, after all, the Ming Dynasty used so many soldiers and horses at once, and requisitioned so many ships, it can be said that most of the maritime merchants knew the important news of the Ming Dynasty's attack on Dongying.

And Chen Wei, as one of the many maritime merchants, obviously couldn't have been unaware of this news.

If there are maritime merchants who are familiar with the situation in the Daming and Dongying seas when they see the path led by Chen Wei, they are afraid that they will find the strangeness in it for the first time.

According to Daliqisi's request, Chen Wei should lead these Portuguese fleets to Daming, and then dock at the coastal land of Daming.

But Chen Wei did not take people to Daming according to Daliqisi's request, but instead led these people to the land of Dongying.

The fleet obviously deviated from the direction, not towards Daming, but in the direction of Dongying.

With a wave of his hand, he saw a Portuguese soldier step forward to suppress Chen Wei, and several women holding wine glasses and holding the women who were obviously the people of the Ming Dynasty walked over with a wild smile.

I only heard one of the generals say to Daliqisi: "Captain Daliqisi, how long will it take to reach the Golden Country, I can't wait." ”

A general on the side hugged a woman who forced a smile and laughed: "When I get to that golden country, I will definitely find more than a dozen female slaves, I have to say that these oriental women are really too delicate......"

Daliqisi glanced at these generals and said with a slight smile: "At most, there is still one day to go, and when the time comes, we will set foot in the land of the golden country recorded by Mr. Marco Polo, and with our military force, we can have whatever we want, whether it is gold or women, or silk or tea, we can have as much as we want." ”

"Hahaha, as long as we can return smoothly, His Majesty the King will definitely crown us as the nobles of the kingdom at that time."

Just as these Portuguese generals were imagining the future, this fleet deviated from the direction and came straight to the east.

There is no way to hide any ships in the vast sea, and it can be said that as long as there is a lookout hand through the clairvoyant mirror, the wind and grass within a radius of several miles can be seen clearly, and everything can be seen.

The ship had been at sea for almost a day and a night, and just when the generals who had received the news were a little impatient, a faint black shadow appeared at the end of the sea level in the distance.

As it got closer and closer, everyone finally saw a piece of land, and when they saw that piece of land, Daliqisi showed a little smile on his face, and said to Chen Wei with satisfaction: "Chen, you have done a very good job, and General Ben will definitely not treat you badly!" ”

Chen Wei lowered his head, but there was a murderous intent in the depths of his eyes, but his face was grateful, and he said to Daliqi: "Thank you, general, thank you, general!" ”
