Chapter 232: The Battle of the Japanese Sea 1

The other two feudal lords also had their eyes lit up when they heard this, and their hearts were excited.

If you can capture Zhu Di, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be a great feat.

In the past hundreds of years, the Japanese only dared to send pirates to harass the Central Plains on a small scale, and never dared to fight a big war. Like flies, the bites that go around and around pick at the southeastern coastal villages.

Because they know that a real big war cannot be won at all, and it is impossible to win it. In addition, in fact, some pirates were not instigated by the shogunate, but were acted by the 'nations' on their own initiative, and had nothing to do with the shogunate.

In fact, they are still afraid of the Central Plains Dynasty in their bones.

Therefore, capturing the prince of the Central Plains Dynasty is equivalent to the wolf Juxu of the Wa Kingdom for them.

It is an unprecedented contribution in the history of the Japanese Kingdom.

Its coach will surely go down in history and be blown up for hundreds or thousands of years.

Zhu Di grabbed the position of general Zhengwei and wanted to go down in history, and they had the same idea.

I have to say that Zhu Di's bait is indeed very tempting.

……

"The two feudal lords, please lead your respective fleets and go out with this general to capture Zhu Di alive." Arima Hiroyoshi gave an order excitedly.

"Slow down, adult!" However, at this time, Takahashi Shozo stopped him, "Why do I feel more and more that this matter is strange?" ”

"What's wrong?" Arima asked.

"First, since Zhu Yuanzhang sent a large army to conquer us, he will definitely not send a waste material who doesn't understand any tactics as the commander." Takahashi Shaosan said, "Since his prince has been appointed as the commander, it proves that this prince must be extraordinary." And the tactics that Zhu Di is using now seem too low-level, and they don't look like they have something extraordinary. ”

"Not bad." Gongyue Yuanqin also nodded and said, "I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang of the Central Plains Dynasty has the wisdom to know people, otherwise he would not have been able to create the Ming Dynasty." An emperor like him would never make such a low-level mistake. ”

"As the saying goes, one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, and handing over 50,000 elites to an incompetent general is equivalent to sending their soldiers to death in vain. It can be seen that Zhu Di's move is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. ”

"Second, I'm worried that this is Zhu Di's trick to lure the enemy in. He's using himself as bait, trying to lure us into killing him. If we pour out of the nest, the other shores will be empty. "Takahashi Shaosandao.

"The three of us are responsible for the family and the country, guarding the coast of the Japanese country, and we must not afford to lose, so we have to be careful everywhere." Gong Yue Yuan Qin said.

"If we take the liberty of attacking and fall into Zhu Di's scheme, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to compete with the Ming army on the sea." Takahashi Shozo said, "Therefore, please be cautious with the lord of the domain. ”

"Not bad." Gong Yue Yuanqin said, "We must make a careful decision, otherwise we will be the sinners of the Wa Kingdom through the ages." ”

"You two are talking about scholarly opinions." However, Arima Hongyi said, "Do you think Zhu Yuanzhang is wise and wise, and it is impossible to send a general who knows nothing to fight?" Then you're wrong. How resourceful was Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu back then? He hadn't made a big mistake by sending a horse who could only talk on paper to guard the street pavilion. ”

"Zhu Yuanzhang, it's impossible to be smarter than Zhuge Liang, right? There is no one in the world who will not make a single mistake. ”

In addition, Zhuge Liang sent Ma Jian to guard the street pavilion because Zhuge Liang regarded Ma Jian as his own son and wanted to cultivate him. And now Zhu Di is Zhu Yuanzhang's own son, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also nepotism, leaving the opportunity to his son. ”

The Japanese people themselves have little cultural background, but they admire the Central Plains culture very much and learn it with an open mind. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" spread to the Wa Kingdom very early, and the Wa people also admired the Three Kingdoms very much, so they were familiar with the deeds of the Three Kingdoms.

The two feudal lords fell silent when they heard this.

Indeed, there is no one in the world who will not make mistakes, and Emperor Zhu is a person no matter how wise he is. If a person does not make a mistake once in his life, then he is not a man but a god.

How good is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Wen Taowu strategy, and is it not the wrong use of the second division general Li Guangli?

Zhuge Liang also misused Ma Tan.

Now that the Ming Emperor reuses his prince who has never fought before, the situation is similar to Zhuge Liang.

"And I heard that Zhu Di was very brave when he was a child, and he dared to go thousands of miles to the battlefield at the age of five or six, Zhu Yuanzhang probably also took a fancy to him, so he dared to let him lead the army as a commander." Arima Hongyi said, "However, why didn't Ma Jian show outstanding talent before? Ping Nanman's strategy was what he offered to Zhuge Liang. ”

"In the eyes of this master, Zhu Di and Ma Jian are exactly the same. He has performed well before leading the troops, but he has never had any actual combat experience. Once the leader of the army will be stubborn, which will eventually lead to defeat. ”

"In other words, Zhu Di is the next Ma Tan."

"Reasonable!" Gong Yue Yuan Qin said.

"Not bad." Gao Qiao Shao said, "When Sima Yi saw Ma Tan Tun Bing Mountain, he still couldn't believe it. Now we can't believe that Zhu Di uses such a clumsy tactic, just like Sima Yi back then. ”

"Besides, do you suspect that this is Zhu Di's plan to lure the enemy in?" Arima Hongyi smiled, "This is completely unreasonable suspicion. ”

"How many warships Zhu Di has, we know clearly. He simply did not have enough warships to divide his forces to attack our weak points. "Arima Hongyi said, "Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, there are high mountains and deep valleys on land where you can hide troops, and the sea has a wide field of vision, and there is no place to hide soldiers." ”

"Besides, even if he doesn't think about logistics and supplies, and sends all the remaining hundred warships out to attack our weak harbors, it will be completely too late for us to quickly return to help, you must know that we have a tailwind. The crews of the opposing side are not as familiar with the sea conditions as ours, and if a hundred warships attack other harbors, they will be caught by us in the front and rear. ”

"Not bad, not bad." The two nodded.

"Third, if we don't join forces, and the other party's 200 warships attack our Tsushima Island with all their might, Tsushima Island is likely to be captured by him. If, because of your foresight, this reckless man captures Tsushima in one fell swoop, then we will really be a joke. ”

"Fourth, if we miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture the prince of the Ming Dynasty and let him go, I'm afraid we will regret it afterwards and want to cut our stomach. When later generations learn about this, I am afraid that they will laugh at us for a hundred years. ”

"Arima-sama has a point!" Takahashi Shosando.

"Arima-sama will give the order, and we will do it." Gong Yue Yuan Qin said.

"Good!" Arima Hongyi stood up and said, "You two feudal lords immediately lead the fleet of the headquarters, and together with the warships of the feudal lords, they will immediately sail out of the port. Don't stay for a moment, rush forward quickly with lightning speed, and surround the Ming warships. ”
