Chapter 124: Conquering the Wa Kingdom! Zhu Han accidentally beheaded the emperor!
Hojo Yoshima knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.
Zhu Han was speechless in his heart, "Damn, it's really troublesome to find such a Japanese rape by yourself!" ”
Guan Yinghu shut down and kicked Hojo hard for a while: "Damn, you get up for Lao Tzu, the deputy marshal hasn't finished speaking, are you crying?" ”
Hojo Yoshima was in pain in his buttocks and quickly got up.
Zhu Han then said, "I asked you to carry out this important task, not to drive you back to the Wa Kingdom, you are such an excellent talent, and you are a great good citizen!" ”
"I can't reuse it, why should I leave in a hurry?"
Zhu Han said with a very serious expression.
Hojo Yoshima saw that Zhu Han's expression was not fake, so he was relieved.
"Really, aren't you really planning to drive me back to the Wa Kingdom?"
Zhu Han nodded and said: "Of course it's true, don't worry, this time, our Red Turban Army is going to lay down a piece of territory on the Japanese Island, and you will be the vanguard officer of this expedition to the East to the Japanese Island, you will guard the Red Turban Army as a thousand households, guard the local area for us, and control the local Japanese people, you drop!" Got it? ”
Hojo Yoshizane realized at this time that everything Zhu Han said was true, and he was not fooling himself.
The Iwami mentioned by Zhu Han is a remote and impoverished place in the territory of the Southern Dynasty that belongs to the Wa Kingdom on Wajima, and there are no famous specialties except for a pile of stones and trees.
Hojo Yoshizana couldn't understand why Zhu Han took a fancy to that place.
Zhu Han asked at this time, "I want to occupy Iwami, and I need the local Japanese people not to flee and stay and serve me, can you do this?" ”
When Hojo Yoshima heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "The civilians on the island are very poor, if you can be a little more merciful than that samurai and the lord of your family, it will be enough to make them obediently loyal!" ”
The common people on the island can be described as poor one by one, they are basically still in the nature of semi-serfs, all kinds of samurai nobles on the island are rampant, and the common people who are the slightest bit impure will be cut to death in the street, and there will be no government to punish them.
In such a situation, let alone Zhu Han's Red Turban Army, even if the Mongols went, compared to the Japanese warriors and nobles, they would be outstanding good people.
Therefore, after listening to Hojo Yoshima's explanation, Zhu Han no longer had any worries about using the Japanese people as coolies.
The next step is to maintain stability in the Iwami area, because if there are too many wars, it will not be conducive to the development of silver mining in the area.
"Today, Emperor Gomurakami has a high prestige in the Southern Dynasty, and he is not the kind of puppet emperor under the control of the shogunate, but an emperor with real power, and after we capture Iwami, as long as we can get the recognition of Emperor Gomurakami at the time, then we can maintain our rule." Hojo Yoshima continued.
Zhu Han also understood as soon as he heard it, although the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty was relatively weak, but he was relatively strong, not the kind of puppet emperor supported by the Northern Dynasty, as long as he could get this Emperor Gomurakami to the lake, then the other lords and samurai around would not come to find trouble.
"Today's Emperor Gomurakami is stationed in Yoshino in Yamato, although it is a relatively fertile land, but it cannot support many nobles and samurai, and with a bribe of this Emperor Gomurakami, you can take the rule of the Iwami region."
Zhu Han thinks this method is more feasible.
After all, he now wants to take Iwami's silver mines, and he doesn't want to get involved in the internal struggle of the Wa Kingdom.
Zhu Han made a decision immediately, and quickly made a decision, and asked Hojo Yoshijin to select his original Japanese subordinates, about 100 people, and gave them a ship, to bribe Emperor Gomurakami as a maritime merchant.
With these preparations, Zhu Han immediately mobilized the sailors in Goryeo and went straight to Iwami in the Wa Kingdom.
There is only one Tsushima Strait between Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom.
When the wind direction is downwind and the waves are calm, it takes less than half a day to reach Iwami from Goryeo.
In such a short distance, there is also an island called Tsushima Island.
The island is located between Goryeo and Wado, and is also an important transit point.
After Zhu Han told the Goryeo Eight Banners under Quan Qian that he would take them to fight on the Wa Island on the other side of the strait, these Goryeo people burst out with a fighting spirit.
The Korean people's hatred of the Japanese is deep in the bone marrow.
Their experience of fighting each other for thousands of years has already made them hate the Japanese to the bone marrow, and now it is an honor for them to be able to run to the land of the Japanese to fight.
The Koreans clamored that they must destroy the Japanese and then take back the land of the Japanese island.
"These guys, they're just a bunch of idiots." Hojo Yoshima saw that the Koreans were so proactive, and he muttered a little depressedly.
He knew that these Koreans were not opponents of the Japanese at all, but these guys wanted to be heroes, which was really ignorant, but it was okay, the Koreans now had the support of the Red Turban Army, and their strength had indeed increased greatly, and they could touch the Japanese country.
"Hojo Yoshima, you take your men and lead the way!." Zhu Han commanded.
"Yes, lieutenant!"
Under Zhu Han's order, Hojo Yoshizane led a group of more than 200 Japanese soldiers to return to their hometowns, and set up two sea ships and marched towards Iwami.
Zhu Han led the fleet to follow.
At this time.
In Iwami Castle, Emperor Gomurakami happened to come to Iwami Castle.
Iwami's lord, Onishi Morikiyo, had just built a manor in his domain.
There is a huge area of five or six acres, and Emperor Gomurakami was specially invited to come and taste it.
Emperor Gomurakami was at the estate of the Iwami domain lord at the moment, and he was sitting at a table in a fancy costume and drinking fine wine.
Next to him, there was a plump, very beautiful, black-dressed, veiled maid, pouring him wine, and at his feet there was a teenage girl, kneeling at his feet to beat his legs, the little girl's skills were very skillful, a pair of small fists, knocking out the sound of winter, so that the Emperor Gomuragami was very comfortable.
While Emperor Gomurakami was enjoying all this, he also reached out and touched the little girl, and a lewd laugh came out of his mouth.
This little girl's face was red when she was kneaded by Emperor Gomurakami, and she didn't dare to make the slightest gesture of resistance.
Onishi Shengqing was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that his arrangement matched the emperor's appetite.
He struck while the iron was hot and immediately slapped Emperor Murakami's ass.
Emperor Gomurakami was very happy to be coaxed by Onishi Morikiyo, and laughed.
"Onishi-kun, this emperor heard that you have exterminated the Goryeo pirates on Tsushima Island, how did you do it?"
Emperor Gomurakami asked.
Onishi Shengqing's face showed a look of pride: "Your Royal Highness the Emperor, this Goryeo is very stupid, I will kill them all with a little trick." ”
In fact, the so-called Goryeo pirates were basically some Goryeo merchants, and the lords of Wajima often engaged in some murderous and oversold goods, and most of the victims were Koreans.
No way, who made the Koreans better bully.
This estate of Onishi Shengqing was earned by plundering Goryeo merchants.
However, these Goryeo merchants are not stupid, they did not fight back after being plundered by Onishi Shengqing, but the results were all fiascos.
Under the onslaught of the sword-drawing team and the Iwami cavalry under Onishi Moriki, the Goryeo people could not resist it at all.
Onishi Shengqing also relied on this trick to be so nourishing in the cause of looting the coastal areas of Goryeo.
This made him very proud.
"Onishi-kun is really powerful, this is the first time that this emperor has met such a powerful character as you." Emperor Gomurakami smiled and admired.
Onishi Morikiyo said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness the Emperor." ”
At this time, the little girl had already finished massaging Emperor Gomurakami, she walked down, then served a pot of wine to Emperor Gomurakami, and respectfully stepped aside.
Emperor Gomurakami drank delicious wine and ate the food that the little girl fed to his mouth, looking intoxicated and looking very comfortable.
However, Emperor Gomurakami drank another glass of wine after eating a bowl of kombu tofu.
At this time, Onishi asked solemnly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I heard that I am now preparing to appoint the chief guard of the palace, is this true?" ”
The Imperial Court Guardian was an official position set up by the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and his status was basically equivalent to that of the Three Dukes of the Central Plains.
Whoever can become the chief guard of the palace will be able to greatly improve his status.
The purpose of Onishi Morikiyo's invitation to Emperor Gomurakami to Iwami was to make him the chief guardian of the court, so that his power in the Southern Dynasty would be further consolidated.
"Yes, it's being discussed."
Emperor Gomurakami nodded.
When Onishi Morikiyo heard Emperor Gomurakami say this, his heart immediately moved.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I can also hold this official position, I wonder if you can trust your subordinates?" Onishi asked.
"If you can take out the Iwami sword drawing team and the cavalry team to serve me in the rebellion of the Northern Expedition, then you will be in charge of this great guard." Emperor Gomurakami said with a smile at Onishi Morikiyo.
The national strength of the Southern Dynasty was not as strong as that of the Northern Dynasty, and the Emperor did not control many soldiers and horses.
The sword drawing team and cavalry team of the Iwami lord Onishi Morikiyo were rare elites, which naturally made Emperor Gomurakami very eager to use them to crusade against the rebellion of the Northern Dynasty.
However, Onishi Morikiyo was also aware of the strength under his command, and his sword drawing team and cavalry team only had 3,000 people, and it was undoubtedly a little difficult to come up with all the men and horses to serve the emperor.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this sword drawing team and cavalry team under my command are not so easy to train, and I am afraid it will take some time to train into an army." Onishi Shengqing said with a wry smile.
"The Iwami sword drawing team and the cavalry team are all elite, and only by sweeping away traitors for this emperor can you serve as the chief guard of the palace." Emperor Gomurakami said with a smile.
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor!" Hearing Emperor Gomurakami's words, Onishi Morikiyo thought about it for a while and agreed to send troops to help the emperor crusade against the Northern Dynasty rebellion.
Emperor Gomurakami was overjoyed and immediately rewarded Onishi with a chrysanthemum suit that he had worn.
The Japanese people on the island believe that the emperor is a god.
The clothes worn by the gods naturally possess divine powers, which can heal all diseases in the world and get rid of all evils.
Onishi Morikiyo reverently treasured the chrysanthemum clothes worn by the emperor.
At this time, a Japanese samurai suddenly ran in from outside the door.
As soon as he entered the door, the Iwami Domain samurai shouted in panic: "Oh no, my lord, there are many ships on the sea, and the Goryeo pirates have come to attack!" ”
"What?" Hearing this, Onishi Shengqing was taken aback.
"Where did they come from to dare to come to my Iwami Domain?" Onishi asked hurriedly.
"My lord, this subordinate is not very clear, only that they seem to have come from the sea on the side of the Goryeo coastline in the east, and it seems that their scale is not very small, about 5,000 people."
When Emperor Gomurakami heard this, his face suddenly changed.
Emperor Gomurakami's face suddenly sank, and he asked in a cold voice, "Are you sure they have five thousand?" ”
"Yes, my lord, I am sure that they have five thousand." The samurai of the Japanese Kingdom hurriedly said.
The Japanese people did not believe that the Koreans dared to have the courage to take the initiative to attack the Japanese people, unless those Koreans took the wrong medicine.
Hearing that there were only 5,000 invading Goryeo pirates, Emperor Gomurakami wanted to see with his own eyes the fighting power of the Iwami Domain's soldiers and horses.
Emperor Gomurakami said to Onishi Shengqing: "Onishi-kun, since there are Goryeo pirates attacking, your sword drawing team and cavalry team must be sent out to meet the enemy and destroy these Goryeo pirates!" ”
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor!"
When Onishi Morikiyo heard Emperor Gomurakami's words, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't worry, I will definitely not lose!" ”
"Hmm." Emperor Gomurakami nodded.
At this time, Onishi Shengqing next to him understood Emperor Gomurakami's intentions!
He also deliberately wanted to show the powerful forces of the Iwami clan in front of the emperor.
"Pass my orders!"
"Iwami draws the sword team, prepare to kill the enemy!"
"Iwami cavalry, prepare to kill the enemy!"
With an order, a mighty army of 3,000 assembled under Iwami Castle.
Onishi Morikiyo personally led 3,000 sword drawing teams and cavalry teams to the northwest coast, and Emperor Gomurakami was escorted by hundreds of personal guards, and also followed Iwami to prepare to watch the battle.
As for the danger, what danger can it be to fight a group of Koreans who don't know the height of the sky? In the more than 1,000 years of fighting history, there has been almost no time when the Koreans have been able to defeat the Wakoku.
Emperor Gomurakami sat in the carriage and saw that Onishi Morikiyo had already taken the lead, so he also left with Onishi Morikiyo and rushed to the beach.
The coastline of the Wa Kingdom was very long, and the sword drawing team and cavalry of Onishi Morikiyo were running ahead.
"My lord, the beach is ahead, and the Goryeo pirates are there."
Onishi Morikiyo saw some faint flags appear in front of him, and there were still many ships moving on the sea.
However, from a distance, it doesn't look like a Korean ship.
Onishi Shengqing couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
When the samurai of the Iwami Domain led by Onishi Morikiyo approached, Zhu Han led 5,000 Red Turban troops to complete the landing on the seaside.
Although the Red Turban Army led by Zhu Han had only 5,000 men, and half of them were Goryeo Eight Banner soldiers, they carried the latest artillery.
Twenty large and small artillery pieces are enough to cope with a battle of 10,000 people.
"Deputy marshal, there is a group of Japanese soldiers and horses in front, about five thousand!" Lan Yu, who was in charge of the guard, came to report.
"The Japanese people are coming very quickly! It is really painstaking for this Japanese to send so many troops to encircle and suppress us. Zhu Han sneered.
"Hahaha...... Okay, then teach these Japanese dogs a good lesson! Zhu Han laughed wildly.
Soon, the Red Turban Army and the Iwami Domain's Japanese soldiers confronted each other on the seashore.
At this time, Onishi Shengqing and others discovered that these soldiers and horses in front of them were all the Red Turban Army of the Central Plains!
The civil strife in Mengyuan was known to the Japanese people.
But they could not imagine why the Red Turbans had come to cross the sea to attack them.
However, the two sides were already preparing to fight, and they didn't bother to ask what the reason was.
"Array, solid as a rock!"
Onishi Morikiyo shook a fan and commanded the soldiers and horses of the Iwami Domain to prepare a formation.
Seeing that the Red Turbans on the opposite side were about the same number, they decided to meet the enemy in the most secure defensive formation.
The array of the Japanese is very dense, and it looks like a bit of a strong army.
Zhu Han looked at the Japanese soldiers and horses on the opposite side and smiled slightly.
"Brothers, prepare for the shelling, today we are going to let the Japanese try it, what is artillery!"
Immediately, Zhu Han gave an order, and the Red Turban Army set up their guns one after another and aimed at the Japanese Kou.
"Fire!"
Zhu Han roared, and suddenly twenty artillery pieces fired at the same time, and the cannonballs flew forward with the sound of the howling wind.
Thundered......
The cannonball smashed into the Iwami Domain's array, instantly setting off a cloud of dust that rushed to the sky!
The dense Japanese soldiers crackled and fell.
"Ah~~~"
A scream rang out, and countless would-be robbers were torn to pieces by shells, and the bloody scene was very beautiful.
A single shell directly destroyed about a column of Japanese soldiers and horses.
However, the array did not waver in the slightest, and many of the Japanese soldiers still stood in place with their weapons.
Only the wounded Japanese soldiers on the ground, one by one, clutching their stumps and broken arms, were wailing in pain.
Seeing this, Zhu Han suddenly felt incredible.
"The Japanese can fight hard! Subjected to a round of artillery bombardment, it did not shake in the slightest! ”
"This is a strong army, it seems that I have to deal with it carefully!"
Zhu Han put away his original contempt, and his expression became solemn.
"Ready to reload, fire freely!"
Zhu Han gave an order.
However, just as the gunners of the Red Turban Army were busy loading their artillery, the Iwami Domain's Japanese soldiers on the opposite side suddenly burst into a scream.
Yes!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Han's array of Japanese soldiers, which he originally thought was a strong opponent, suddenly collapsed in an instant.
The Japanese soldiers were like frightened sheep, fleeing in all directions in the wilderness, where there was still the appearance of not panicking when they had just connected the artillery.
Zhu Han and the others were dumbfounded.
"Fuck, what's going on?"
"Wasn't it still a strong army that was not afraid of death just now?"
Ten thousand question marks surged in Zhu Han's heart.
The muscles on Lan Yu's face twitched for a moment, and finally he couldn't help but say: "Deputy Marshal, I think they weren't afraid of death just now, they should be scared stupid." ”
When Zhu Han heard this, he was stunned.
Thinking about it again, it seems to be the same thing.
However, now that the Japanese soldiers are in chaos, there is no need for a second round of shelling.
"Lan Yu, lead the cavalry, and continue to charge and kill me!"
Zhu Han immediately ordered that the Japanese soldiers had already thrown themselves into disarray, and all that remained was to chop melons and vegetables.
Lan Yu immediately led two hundred cavalry to continue the pursuit.
The Japanese soldiers also had cavalry, but their speed and technology were too bad to stop the crazy pursuit of Lan Yu and other cavalry.
Soon, the cavalry of the Japanese people was slaughtered.
And Zhu Han led the army to take the opportunity to chase and kill the Japanese soldiers, and killed the Japanese people to the point of losing their armor.
At this time, a group of Japanese soldiers on the hillside in the distance attracted Zhu Han's attention.
"There's a big fish there, kill it for me!"
Zhu Han pointed with his hand and led an elite straight to the hillside.
No one could have imagined that this group of Japanese soldiers on the hillside was the imperial car of Emperor Murakami, the queen of the Japanese country.
Emperor Gomurakami was originally going to watch the battle, so he naturally chose a hillside with the best view.
However, he never expected that the massacre of the Koreans that he had thought would turn out to be a fiasco.
Those pirate soldiers and horses holding red flags only had one round of firecracks, and the sword drawing team of the Iwami clan suffered heavy casualties.
In the ensuing battle, the famous Iwami cavalry team was also killed by these 'red flag soldiers' in one round.
Emperor Houmurakami didn't even react to running away, and a big defeat came to their faces.
At this time, Emperor Gomurakami and the rest of the Japanese ministers were on the hillside, looking blankly ahead.
They couldn't have imagined that these pirates of unknown origin would have such powerful weapons!
Unexpectedly, a round of artillery went down and wiped out an entire Japanese army.
"No wonder they dared to take the initiative to attack and sneak attack, it turned out that they had already prepared! Looks like we're underestimating them! ”
"Your Majesty, no matter what, we must retreat immediately, otherwise, we will all die here!"
"Let's go, let's retreat!"
"Quick, retreat!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
However, Emperor Houmurakami and they have been targeted by Zhu Han, where can they still run away.
What's more, the Iwami Domain's routs all over the mountains have already blocked the way out.
Emperor Gomurakami couldn't run fast even if he wanted to.
"Woko, where to run!"
Zhu Han led Chen Baodao, Lan Yu and others to encircle this group of Japanese robbers on the hillside.
He thought that this group of gorgeously dressed pirates were the lords of the Iwami Domain, so naturally he couldn't let them escape.
"Kill!"
"Protect His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
Seeing the Red Turban Army killed, the samurai next to Emperor Gomurakami immediately went crazy.
They drew their swords and spears and lunged at the Red Turbans.
These Japanese warriors are armed with katanas, and they are fierce and vicious.
However, they are generally short in stature, with an average height of just over 1.5 meters, and it is very funny to hold long katanas.
In front of Zhu Han and other red turban soldiers, he is simply scum.
Lan Yu led the cavalry to charge down, and the warriors were knocked to the ground.
Either he was knocked by a horse and vomited blood, or he was cut to the point that his skin was cut open, and he was miserable.
After Zhu Han and the others killed a few Japanese invaders, they quickly rushed towards the 'lords' of the Japanese kingdom on the hillside.
"Kill!"
A samurai of the Red Turban Army raised the steel spear in his hand and stabbed at the samurai.
"Poof!"
The last stubborn warrior of the Wa Kingdom was suddenly attacked, and a bloody hole appeared in his chest.
"Don't kill me, I'm the Emperor!"
Emperor Gomurakami was shocked when he saw several samurai under his command killed, and roared in horror.
But......
The soldiers of the Red Turban Army did not listen to Emperor Gomurakami at all, because they did not understand at all.
"Poof! Laugh at! ”
The soldiers of the Red Turban Army kept wielding their weapons and pierced the hearts of the Japanese people.
"Yaga! You can't kill me, I'm the Emperor! ”
Seeing that these pirates really wanted to kill themselves, Emperor Gomurakami finally couldn't help it, and he yelled at Zhu Han with an angry face.
"This widow seems to be very arrogant."
When Zhu Han heard this, a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he shouted.
"Vice Marshal, watch me lift his skull!"
"Bang!"
The steel spear in Lan Yu's hand shook, and it stabbed into the Emperor Gomurakami's Heavenly Spirit Gai, nailing him to the ground, with a terrible scream from the Emperor Gomurakami.
The samurai of the surrounding Wa Kingdom were suddenly terrified and fell to the ground one after another.
Looking at them, it was as if the sky had fallen.
However, Zhu Han didn't pay attention to them at all, but led a group of red turban troops and continued to kill towards Iwami Castle in the Wa Kingdom.
The body of Emperor Gomurakami was cut off and thrown on the battlefield, after all, no one would have imagined that the emperor of the Wa Kingdom would return to Iwami Domain to watch the battle.
In the face of the siege of the Red Turban Army, the Japanese people of Iwami Castle did not hold out for long at all.
Just half an hour later, it was rushed into the city by the Red Turban Army, and the city was in chaos.
The Iwami Domain's Japanese cavalry has been wiped out, the sword drawing team has been wiped out, and Emperor Gomurakami has disappeared, and his life and death are uncertain.
A fiasco, like heavenly punishment!
On the walls of the Iwami Domain, Onishi Morikiyo, who was wearing armor, looked ahead in amazement, his face full of horror.
"How is this possible? How could there be such a powerful enemy? ”
"How is this done? How could it be so easy to kill all our warriors!
”
These pirates have such strength that even the warriors of the Iwami Domain are not worth mentioning.
What makes Onishi Shengqing even more desperate is that these 'pirates' are so powerful that they can't run if they want to.
Not long after, Onishi Morikiyo was captured along with the remaining samurai of the sword drawing team under his command.
The person who captured them was none other than the 'Japanese Returning Home Mission' led by Hojo Yoshishin.
"Baga! On your knees! ”
Hojo Yoshima shouted angrily and brought Onishi Shengqing to Zhu Han.
"Deputy marshal, I have caught the lord of Iwami Domain, Onishi Shengqing!" Hojo Yoshimasa said respectfully to Zhu Han.
Zhu Han glanced at Onishi Shengqing on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly.
The Iwami Domain's territory was not too vast, occupying only one area, and it did not have much weaponry.
Destroying the Iwami Domain's army so easily was originally expected by Zhu Han.
Zhu Han looked at Onishi Shengqing and asked:
"I am Zhu Han, the deputy marshal of the Shangguo Kingdom of China, you little Iwami Domain, seeing that Wang Shi not only did not surrender, but also dared to resist, I really deserve to die!"
"Come on, drag this wolf leader out and cut it down!"
Onishi Shengqing couldn't understand Chinese, and after Hojo Yoshima's translation, he was suddenly frightened and had no master, and he said a lot.
Zhu Han also couldn't understand the language he spoke.
I only saw that the expression on the face of Hojo Yoshima became very strange, one moment was joy, and the other was worry.
"Hojo Yoshima, what did he say?" Zhu Han asked.
Hojo Yoshizane hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully and carefully: "My lord, Onishi Shengqing said that his resistance was for the sake of loyalty, not to resist the king, and the person who ordered the resistance was Emperor Gomurakami!" ”
Zhu Han laughed when he heard this, Daxi, a little devil, started talking nonsense because he was afraid of death.
"Hehe, his emperor is so far away, how can he know where we are coming, where we are coming and what orders are coming from!" Zhu Han sneered.
Onishi Morikiyo must die, and he must die in front of many Japanese people in Iwami Castle, so that Hojo Yoshizane's 'Japanese Returning Regiment' can establish their prestige!
"No, no, my lord, Onishi Morikiyo said that Emperor Gomurakami has already come to Iwami Domain, and he has also gone to participate in today's Primordial Battle!" Hojo Yoshima said excitedly.
'Coastal Battle' is a name that Hojo Yoshizane just came up with, and the battle of thousands of armies is not a large-scale joint battle!
When Zhu Han heard this, he was also shocked.
"What, what did you say, the emperor of the Wa Kingdom also went to war? How come I didn't find a trace of him? Zhu Han thought hard, but he didn't remember any trace of the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom.
Woooooo
Suddenly, Onishi Shengqing lay on the ground and cried bitterly.
Zhu Han hurriedly asked Hojo Yoshima to continue to ask.
"What, in today's battle, the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was killed by our army on the battlefield?" When Zhu Han heard the news, he felt that things had developed unexpectedly.
He turned to look at the generals next to him, such as Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, and Chen Baodao.
Ask them if they remember what Emperor Wako had killed.
Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Chen Baodao and others all frowned and thought for a while, and they all said that the Japanese invaders they met today were all a group of war scum, and there were no elites who were brave and difficult to control, nor did they have the impression that the Japanese Emperor was personally guarded.
"Alas, it seems that the Japanese are too poor in combat, and it is also troublesome." Zhu Han couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Subsequently, Zhu Han ordered loudly: "Take all the heads of the Japanese Invaders, and let this Onishi Shengqing identify them, and we must find that Emperor of the Japanese Invaders!" ”
Thousands of Japanese heads were quickly placed in the Iwami Domain's mansion.
Onishi Shengqing is recognized among the human heads.
Suddenly!
As Onishi Shengqing wailed, he knelt in front of a Japanese head and wept bitterly.
"It's dark!"
"It's dark!"
"It's dark!"
Onishi Shengqing knelt on the ground, his hands kept shaking, and he kept chanting.
"Amaterasu! Great Day Bodhisattva!
”
"Great Day Bodhisattva! Great Day Bodhisattva! ”
......
Zhu Han looked at it, crying so miserably!
Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and others next to him couldn't help but show puzzled expressions when they saw Onishi Shengqing crying for his father and mother.
"What is this guy doing, why does he keep talking about black cards, one after another, what do you mean?"
"Maybe the name of the Emperor is the black card, right?"
......
Many of the generals around Zhu Han were full of doubts.
Emperor Wako was both the head of Shinto Buddhism and a Buddhist believer, so there is also a self-proclaimed Bodhisattva of the Great Nyorai.
"Uh...... Did the Emperor die like that? ”
While Zhu Han was happy, he immediately made another calculation.
For the Wakoku, although the emperor is a puppet most of the time, he is the god of the Wakoku people and the supreme spiritual leader of the Wakoku people.
If the Emperor of Wa Kingdom can be controlled, then the impact on the entire Wa Kingdom will definitely be very huge!
However, Zhu Han has now directly cut off the head of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, which is a bit troublesome.
The nobles and commoners of the entire Wa Kingdom will probably find it difficult to give up.
Zhu Han's small abacus of wanting to occupy the Iwami Domain and then comfortably mining silver ore will face endless trouble.
The surrounding feudal lords will definitely unite against Zhu Han!
The Japanese people within the Iwami Domain will also be difficult for Zhu Han to use.
"It's a bit of a problem." Zhu Han touched his chin and pondered.
Hojo Yoshima saw Zhu Han's concerns, and immediately leaned over and said: "My lord, the traitors such as Onishi Morikiyo of the Iwami Domain, colluded with the Northern Dynasty to murder Emperor Gomurakami, and the Heavenly Dynasty sent troops, so these traitors of the Iwami Domain should be killed quickly!" ”
Zhu Han was so shrewd, he immediately heard Hojo Yoshizhen's intentions, and now that the news of Emperor Gomurakami's death has not spread on a large scale, wouldn't it be okay to just muddy the water.
"That's right! Onishi Shengqing, a traitor, must not stay! All the samurai and guardian retainers of the Iwami clan were executed! "Zhu Han immediately issued the most severe slaughter order!
Onishi Morikiyo originally thought that he would be able to avoid death.
But he was soon beheaded with his relatives and retainers!
More than 500 people from the Iwami Domain were killed, and the streets of Iwami Castle were stained red with blood!
Hojo Yoshimasa claimed to be the lord of the Iwami domain.
Zhu Han ordered the opening of a warehouse in the Iwami Domain to release grain, and all the common people, as long as they came to declare their allegiance to the new Iwami Domain, they could immediately get a liter of white rice!
As soon as this news came out, the entire Iwami Domain was boiling!
White rice!
Fragrant white rice, that's a good thing that many Japanese farmers can't eat a few times a year!
You only need to swear allegiance to the new feudal lord to get a liter of white rice for nothing! All of a sudden, the entire Iwami Domain Castle was overcrowded, and the Japanese people within a radius of dozens of miles poured into the Iwami Domain.
"We are willing to be loyal to the new feudal lord, and from now on, the Iwami clan will always be loyal to the new feudal lord!"
"That's right, we are also willing to be loyal to the new feudal lord, and from now on, the new feudal lord will always be loyal!"
"Hojo clan motherboard, board, board......"
......
Looking at the dense kneeling sound of the Japanese people in Iwami Domain, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and the others with a confused face were completely dumbfounded!
, what's the situation with this Nima? These people are poor and crazy, right?
"Just one liter of white rice can make the Japanese people so crazy?" Chang Yuchun couldn't help but shake his head.
"One liter of white rice, that is, the amount of food I eat in a day, the Japanese people are really poor!" Lan Yu laughed mockingly.
"Poor?" Zhu Han glanced at the Japanese people in the city and continued: "Do you know what the situation of these Japanese people is? In the Wa Kingdom, the peasants ate a meal of white rice, note that if it is a meal, it is equivalent to the New Year, so they are given a liter of white rice, which is enough to buy their people's hearts. ”
"It's really poor!" Lan Yu shook her head and said.
Chang Yuchun: "In this peaceful year of the Japanese country, it is so poor? ”
Looking at Chang Yuchun's expression, Zhu Han couldn't help but smile and said: "It's a good thing for us that the Japanese people are poor!" ”
Zhu Han said and said to the respectful Hojo Yoshima next to him:
"Hojo Yoshima, you go and order, Iwami Domain recruits warriors from the army, and whoever is selected will be given half a horse of cotton cloth per year, one stone of white rice and one liter of salt per month!"
"Hey! Yes, my lord! Hojo Yoshima hurriedly responded.
Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and others on the side all showed surprised expressions.
"Deputy marshal, with such a small salary, can you recruit soldiers?" Chang Yuchun's face was full of question marks.
"That's right, deputy marshal, don't you even have any money?" Lan Yu wondered.
Zhu Han said with a smile: "Didn't I say it just now, the Japanese people are poor, and they eat multigrain beans and wild vegetables all day long, a stone of white rice is enough, and there is also half a horse of cotton cloth and a liter of salt!" ”
In fact, Zhu Han is not exaggerating at all, for the Japanese people, this treatment is really good enough!
A large number of poor people of the Iwami Domain, after hearing the conditions for the new feudal lord to recruit household soldiers, fell into ecstasy again.
Zhu Han does not have any strict requirements for recruiting Japanese soldiers, as long as he can reach a height of more than one meter four or five, and can sprint back and forth five times with a spear, then he is considered qualified.
This recruitment condition, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and the others are even more eye-opening, these recruited soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom get together, just like the Dwarven National Opening Conference.
Even if the conditions are so low, there are still many Japanese people who are not qualified.
There is no way, the ancient Wa Kingdom was not only poor and poor, but also the upper-class nobles believed in Buddhism and repeatedly promoted vegetarian food, resulting in short people everywhere in the Wa Kingdom.
All the poor people of the chosen country cheered for joy.
"Yoko, we finally don't have to starve!"
"Onboard! It's time to put on your clothes! ”
"Woo, there's salt, and you can eat white rice, it's great."
"It's time to eat white rice, lord of the domain!"
"Haha, a stone of rice, I can finally eat enough!"
"We can wear beautiful clothes, salt to eat, and white rice to eat, and swear to follow the lord of the domain to the death!"
"Swear to follow the lord of the domain!"
"Lord of the Domain!"
Amid the cheers, the Iwami clan recruited more than 30,000 poor people, all of whom were recruited as soldiers of the Iwami clan.
30,000 people were recruited at one time, which is a huge scale that is unimaginable for the Wa Kingdom in this era.
The food and drink of more than 30,000 people, as well as weapons and equipment, as well as command and dispatch, are definitely a big problem.
However, this is not a problem for Zhu Han at all.
Jiangnan has old rice, which is loaded with a load of old rice, and it is the most cost-effective deal, unloading the rice, and then loading it with the silver of the Iwami Domain.
It's just that before the development of the Iwami Domain's silver mine, Zhu Han also needs to use the recruited Japanese troops to deal with the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom.
"Hojo Yoshima, immediately send someone to release the news, the former feudal lord Onishi Morikiyo was instructed by Yoshino's traitorous ministers to kill Emperor Gomurakami, we will immediately send troops to Yoshino, and the Celestial Empire will come to administer justice for the Wakoku!" �
Han said loudly.
"Yes, my lord!" Hojo Yoshima answered without hesitation, he has changed from a pirate leader to the lord of Iwami Domain, but all of them are Zhu Han's gifts, and he is naturally absolutely loyal.
"Worship the thief!"
Soon, Hojo Yoshima played this banner in the Iwami Domain, and the Iwami Domain's Zuozuo Mu and other families were immediately frightened by the powerful forces of the Red Turban Army, and they all brought their own dry food to join the ranks of the 'Fengtian Thief'.
All of a sudden, Zhu Han led a large army from Iwami Domain, rode a powerful warship, and rode the wind and waves towards Yoshino, the capital of the southern dynasty of the Wa Kingdom.
The mighty Red Turban Army soon reached the coast around Yoshino.
And began a search operation on the surrounding islands.
Prior to this, they had already sent a large number of Japanese spies to infiltrate the surroundings of Yoshino and spy on Yoshino Castle.
