Chapter 29: Meng Tong Strikes

After quelling the civil strife, Su Le conquered Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island successively, and after all the forces in various places surrendered, he was ready to take the Shogunate of Minamoto. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But at this time, the Meng people invaded the East China Sea Kingdom again, and this time it was not a small fight.

After the conquest of southern China, the Mongs also acquired a large number of ships, so the conquest of the East China Sea seemed to be an easy task.

According to the intelligence gathered from all sides, most of the troops in this cross-sea expedition were Han Chinese in South China, except for a few Mengdians, and these tide makers were the main force, and there were also Koreans who participated in the war, which was a mixed army.

Su Le directly crossed the Shogunate and met with the King of the East China Sea, hoping to obtain an edict from the imperial court in order to gather various forces in the East China Sea and participate in this great battle of life and death. The King of the East Sea also learned about the seriousness of the situation from various sources and summoned Su Le.

Although the king of the East China Sea was only the nominal ruler, even if he lost his military force, he still had strong financial resources, which was mainly obtained by the large contributions of the princes from various places, and the imperial court granted official positions according to the degree of contribution. To put it simply, it is a betrayal of an official, and this official is still false, and in fact, he must rely on force to maintain his territory.

Just like Liu Bei was named Yuzhou Mu during the Three Kingdoms, so Liu Bei was also called Liu Yuzhou, but he was not able to govern Yuzhou, but successively captured half of Jingzhou and the entire Yizhou, and then grabbed Hanzhong and called himself the king of Hanzhong.

In short, the authority of the king of the East China Sea was still there, and the royal palace was also very gorgeous, and after layers of inspection, Su Le was brought into an elegant room with a courtyard and waited for the arrival of the king of the East China Sea.

After a while, the king came, with a large number of retinues, and after Su Le gave a brief salute, he glanced at the king's appearance. At present, this King of the East China Sea is relatively young, thirty or forty years old, and he looks very gentle, probably the result of being pampered.

"This is the repairman, Master Su Le." The public next to him introduced.

The King of the East China Sea looked at Su Le and said unhurriedly, "The repair doctor came from the mainland a few years ago. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is true."

"Then do you know how powerful Meng Yan is?" The King of the East Sea hurriedly asked.

"I've heard a little that Meng Yan is good at riding and shooting, but if you leave the grassland, your mobility will be greatly reduced, so it's not so scary." Su Le replied.

"I heard that this time, the daimyos from all over the country unanimously elected you as the leader of the alliance to fight against Meng Yan's attack? Are you sure you will win? ”

"Your Majesty, although you are not sure of victory, you are also sure of it, so Your Majesty must also be prepared to leave Luodu, and if you don't think about it, there will be something in case you are in a hurry." Su Le said.

"Well, you're honest." The king of the East China Sea said: "I heard that the Meng people are the destroyers of civilization, and I don't want the East China Sea Kingdom to die at my hands, please be sure to repel these barbarians, and I will definitely have a heavy reward afterwards." ”

"Your Majesty, I don't need money and official rewards, I just hope that when I return to the mainland in the future, the imperial court will not deliberately embarrass me to mobilize the troops under my command."

"Of course, I have already written the edict, so you can do whatever you want."

After receiving the edict from the King of the East China Sea, Su Le immediately contacted the princes of various places to prepare to prevent the Meng people from landing on the islands of the East China Sea Kingdom.

This Meng Yan's expeditionary force also had no tactics, and directly landed on the beach, but the combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers was really not strong, and the Koreans had no fighting spirit. The only thing is that the Meng Yan people are indeed extremely brave, these barbarians who have hunted and eaten meat since childhood are natural warriors, but they have lost the strength of horses, coupled with the mountainous terrain of the East China Sea Country, the expeditionary force has not broken through the defense line of the East China Sea Coalition Army commanded by Su Le.

After nightfall, the expeditionary force had no choice but to camp on the beach, but was raided by Su Le and Athena commanding elite warriors and ninja troops, in addition to many people killed in battle, many people surrendered, and the Meng people were not good at water, and many people fled to the sea and drowned in the night.

Most of those who surrendered were Han Chinese and Goryeo soldiers, most of whom were forced to participate in the war or forced to go on an expedition for the sake of life, and Su Le directly incorporated them into his own troops, and as for the small number of Meng Dian, he ordered all of them to be ......

As a result, the mixed expeditionary force did not dare to camp on the ground any longer. They went down to raid during the day, and retreated back to the sea by boat at night, and those big ships were originally built by skilled craftsmen among the Han Chinese, and the warships of the East China Sea Kingdom were no match at all, so they were still very safe.

However, the so-called safety can only be effective under normal climatic conditions. It happened that a kamikaze suddenly blew at this time, and the warships of the expeditionary force were blown to pieces, and some even capsized directly, and most of the soldiers of the Han people were some tide makers, and they could climb back on the ship, while the Meng Dian and the Goryeo suffered heavy losses, and the main general was also killed in the chaos.

Relying on the proper command of Kamikaze and Su Le, the Donghai Kingdom escaped the fate of annihilation, and the proportion of Han soldiers in the remaining expeditionary force was higher, and almost all of them surrendered in the end.

Due to the large number of them, Su Le took the elite and strong of them under his command, preparing to counterattack the 'mainland' in the future, and then arranged for the remaining old and weak to concentrate on farming, and then let them return to their hometowns one after another when they matured for a while.

After his victory, Suraku's prestige in the Tokai was even greater, and he directly expelled the Minamoto shogunate from Kinai, and won the position of shogun for the young Kaedehimaru (known as Hirata Nobuhide, who was expected to be subsumed after Motofu), and opened the shogunate in the new construction of Hirata Castle in Tokaido.

The remnants of the Jimoto shogunate, who were driven away by Su Le, still did not give up, and some fled to Kanto, relying on the daimyo Takeda Yoshiyasu of Kanto to try to make a comeback.

Of course, Su Le would not give these people a chance, and the Zhutian clan did not participate in the battle of Meng Bai's attack at the request of the king, and Su Le used this as an excuse to gather all the princes to besiege them. However, the main city of the Takeda family, Takeda Castle, is one of the largest cities in the East China Sea, and it is extremely strong, so the army has no way to do it for a while.

Fortunately, Su Le was not too anxious, he took advantage of the time to ask for material assistance from the Sanjo family in the eastern part of Shikoku, and promised Mrs. Ju: If he takes Kanto this time, he will transfer it to Sanjo Haromoto, but the Sanjo family will also withdraw from the fief in the eastern part of Shikoku to expand Su Le's own strength.

The two were still talking about this issue in bed, and Mrs. Ju said with some concern: "In terms of the number of cities and the output of land, it is basically enough, but in this case, Harumoto and I will leave the familiar city." ”

"There's no way around it, how about I build a bigger and more beautiful castle for your mother and son? Definitely more comfortable to stay here than now. Su Le promised.

"Alright then, since you're so good to me and Harumoto, I'll make you comfortable now!" Saying that, Mrs. Ju hugged Su Le, and the two started to do what they loved in the quilt.

……

The crusade against the Zhutian clan is not as easy as Su Le thought, this Zhutian City is surrounded by several years, fortunately, the Zhutian family is not as good as a year, Su Le is too lazy to take care of these trivial matters, and continues to deal with his own affairs.

Because the wood fir training army is very set, Su Le asked her to help him train the Han army, but Su Le also needs to sleep with others, but the wood fir is very easy to dismiss, so Su Le doesn't care.

In addition to Izuki Sugi and Lady Ju, Su Le often accompanies Lady Kaede and Orihime, the only thing is that Athena is a little neglected. Compared to these local women, Athena and Su Le still have a future, so she didn't say anything and devoted herself to a new job: using the funds provided by Su Le to integrate the ninja forces in the East China Sea.
