Chapter 55 The Wind and the Clouds

This is actually normal, just like Liu Bang. When the world is conquered, it is ordered that whoever takes down which city, the children in the city have all the money. But when he sat firmly in the world, he killed all the kings of the opposite sex. But the Ashikaga family is not the same when it comes to the land.

That is, the gun barrel of the Ashikaga family is not so hard. Not to mention that there are disputes within the Ashikaga family, and the shogunate family and Kanto Ashikaga have not been in harmony. In this case, how to subdue the other princes.

Therefore, in the end, the Ashikaga shogunate and the Ashikaga family did not take power, and the weaker they were, the more they understood the need to collect power. Then do it, and the ground below you will be devoured, and the weaker you become. fell into a vicious circle, to the point of sitting and dying, and at that time, the Oda family came.

Facing the land of Goryeo. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't want to take it all in. It's not realistic. But he will never let the shogunate, in this military campaign, only get a reputation for expanding the territory, without the slightest benefit.

That's even more unlikely.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had two options, either to strip these daimyo of their possessions in Japan and transfer them to Goryeo. Of course, the territory will be expanded. Or, let the Ashikaga shogunate have a territory directly under the shogunate in a key position.

Of these two choices, the Ouchi family is the head of these people. Not very satisfied.

Of course, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu still understands the art of domination. The first thing he did was to kill the Tsushima clan. The clan that had been entrenched in Tsushima for many years was transferred to Goryeo, and this important place was in the hands of the shogunate and the Ouchi family.

After all, although the Zong family is related to the Ouchi family, the Ouchi family understands the key points of Tsushima Island better and will not hang in the hands of others. Of course, the Ashikaga family wants to monopolize it, but the Ouchi family will never allow it. It also formed a state of dividing up Tsushima.

It's just that the two families stationed more than 5,000 people on Tsushima Island. There are also a large number of ships. The army is not abundant.

That's right. For the Japanese, it is strong enough.

The Ashikaga shogunate's power is only two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Half of the 5,000 people are directly under Ashikaga and half are the headquarters of the Ouchi family. Looking at Japan, it can be regarded as elite. It's just that when Da Ming really tried his best, this was not enough to see at all.

Lan Yu endured it for so long, and as soon as he made a move, he didn't care about casualties at all. When attacking Tsushima Island, Fang Chengfeng sat on the bow of the ship and concentrated more than 100 cannons to bombard the pier, and then, the first person took more than 100 families to wade ashore, and then rebuilt the trestle bridge to welcome Zhang Yi ashore.

The Japanese were stunned at the beginning.

They didn't expect that Daming's artillery would be so fast. You know, a few decades later, a Franc cannon was still called a national collapse in Japan. Now how much is the gap between the Ming army's artillery and the Franc machine gun, He Xi himself does not know. Because he had not seen the Franc cannon.

I don't know the exact power of the Franc cannon. But this amount alone is unimaginable to the Japanese.

Of course, the samurai were tenacious.

They let go of the dock and waited for the Ming army to go ashore and get out of the range of the artillery before engaging the Ming army.

It's just that the Japanese samurai are tenacious, and the Marquis of Heqing Zhang Yi is not given in vain. He concentrated all the armor, and the Ming army that landed first was triple armor, the outermost layer of iron armor. Lined with leather armor, between leather armor and iron armor, there is also a layer of chain mail.

Trance is a moving iron man.

Yes, Japanese swords are very sharp, but in the face of such armor, they directly crumble. Zhang Yi has also repeatedly broken strong enemies today, and if he can still lose the battle with such a big advantage today, then cut off his head.

Although the Japanese samurai insisted on fighting for three days. But except for the first day, the rest of the war was that the Ming army searched the whole island and encircled and suppressed the last Japanese samurai.

Of course, some local people were killed by mistake. This is also unavoidable.

In this era, the army is also virtuous. However, compared to the Japanese, the Ming army is already good.

——

The place where the second breakthrough was the more than 10,000 Liaodong cavalry led by Ye Shen.

Ye Shen set out from Shenyang and crossed Changbai Mountain first. enter

Later generations established the state area. Then turn back to the east and enter the Hamhung area. This is an area, which can be regarded as a three-regardless area. On the one hand, it is mostly mountainous and not too close to the core area of Goryeo. The core of the Ming Dynasty's control is the west coast plain of Goryeo, which is more of a cosmetic here.

Of course, there are still some forces of Li Chenggui's Li family left here.

It's Li Chenggui's lair.

Li Chenggui is already an official in Daming today. Japan destroyed Goryeo again, and that's it. Hamxing, that is, the Twin Cities Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, could not have thrown itself into Japan. But it's one thing not to throw yourself to Japan. Because this is the rest of Goryeo. It's just the Changing King Banner on the city. Therefore, the Japanese do not worry about this place.

And the Liaodong cavalry killed directly along the line of the east coast of Goryeo.

I have to say that Ye Shen's talent in military affairs, this kind of detour of thousands of miles, over mountains and mountains, across mountains and seas, he only took more than ten days, and more importantly, he maintained his combat effectiveness. Broke through the defense line of the original small court of Goryeo.

This is simply bullying the Japanese for not being familiar with the geography of the mainland, and if it is said that the Japanese did not monitor the movement of the Ming army, it is false. The Japanese monitored the miscellaneous soldiers of the Shuangcheng Governor's Office, and the Liaodong cavalry was almost killed from an invisible position on the Japanese map. When the Liaodong cavalry was killed, they didn't know yet.

Such a situation is irreparable.

The Ouchi family organized thousands of foot soldiers and organized a blockade on the main road. It's just that it only blocks the time of half a cup of tea. was defeated by Ye Shen like a whirlwind. In Ye Shen's view, there was no good news at all, and when he reported it, he didn't regard this battle as good news. It's just that our army recorded it through a certain place.

This was only later, from the records of the Japanese, it was found that in the description of the Japanese, the battle of the ghosts and gods was shocking. There are dozens of names on the list of fallen names. All of them are famous.

Actually, I don't blame Japan for this.

Because the so-called cavalry of Japan and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty are fundamentally two species.

In terms of combat methods, the Ming cavalry actually copied the Mongolian cavalry, and even in the appointment of cavalry generals, many Tatar generals were also selected. Although it may not be comparable to the peak of light cavalry, that is, the Mongol cavalry during the time of Genghis Khan. But definitely not weak....

Now it is at the peak of the war horse, weapon, and personnel. It is also because of the lack of horses in the early Ming Dynasty, and in the selection of cavalry, it is even more strict, which can show that the elite of the army are among the cavalry. This cavalry is the largest cavalry in Liaodong. On behalf of Liaodong to fight, it is natural to be carefully selected. Almost all of them were selected from the three guards in Shenyang. It is the general reserve of Liaodong, and it is also the last killer weapon of Ye Wang's battle with ***.

And what did the Japanese cavalry look like?

First of all, Japanese horses are not good, Oriental horses are a later thing, and today's Japanese horses are more similar to donkeys. Not to mention, the Japanese cavalry did not have an order of magnitude of tens of thousands. In the face of such a cavalry group, the Japanese generals simply did not know what to do.

The second is the unfamiliarity with the tactics of the Ming cavalry and the suppression of equipment.

Everything is unfamiliar, and in the case of comprehensive suppression, this is not something that can be reversed by individual martial arts. Even though every Japanese general is Miyamoto Musashi. A team of 100 people rushes and has to be in a different place. It's like chopping vegetables and melons.

Here, Ye Shen went straight to Japan and went to Busan, the base camp in Goryeo. In addition, the real direction of attack is not somewhere else, it is Jinju City.

-----

Under the city of Jinju.

Lan Yu looked at everything in front of her indifferently.

Under the supervision of the Ming army, countless Goryeo soldiers rushed to Jinju City like waves. Countless earth-covered rocks filled the ravines beneath the city along with corpses. There was also a faint sound of explosions that kept coming.

It's not the sound of cannons.

Although after the Goryeo army retreated, countless Ming troops fought, pushing ladders, and all kinds of siege equipment pounced on it. The tallest is the Lu bus, which is taller than the Jinju city wall. A siege machine, like a giant in action, made the Koreans tremble.
