The people who are about to arrive in front of the people are:

Xia Yan, a top minister of the Jiajing Dynasty, had the credit of subduing Qinghai, Hetao, and Xuanning as a military chief officer, subduing Outer Yunnan, expelling the Portuguese and adding the Nanyang Protectorate, the actual first person under the emperor in the Ming power system.

Tang Shunzhi, the top minister of the Jiajing Dynasty, the holder of the promotion record of the Ming Dynasty, the champion of the Wen and the head of the military system, the Marquis of Jingbian, Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing taught together, and now the mentor and friend of Yu Dayou, the brave general of the Ming Dynasty, and the founder of the Mandarin Duck Array.

Yu Dayou, the top general of the Jiajing Dynasty, the first champion of the Ming Dynasty, the first battle of Huangya Mountain shocked the world, and the northern levy of Xuanning was sealed as the Marquis of Hanhai, and the practitioner of the Mandarin Duck Array.

Yan Shifan, the top second generation of the Jiajing Dynasty, the world does not know his exploits for the time being, but his reputation in later generations is deafening.

Hu Zongxian, a famous minister of the Jiajing Dynasty who resisted the Japanese Dynasty, after experiencing the accumulation and experience of basic official positions, will now encounter the foundation of his destined meritorious deeds.

The youth version of Qi Jiguang, the immortal brave general of the Jiajing Dynasty, is the closed disciple of Wang Shouren, and the special warfare disciple of Yan Chunsheng, and now he is finally going to meet on the battlefield with the two equally important teachers in his life, Tang Shunzhi and Yu Dayou.

In front of them, although Zhu Kun's official character is high enough, it is only that the current Zhu Houxi has given him more opportunities, so that his talents will not be buried.

Zhu Houxi agreed to Xia Yan and Tang Shunzhi's self-invitation, just to make sure that this thing would be done.

In the future, the new law can go back and forth, and Dongying must be completely conquered!

"I won't be afraid of your high merit, let you temporarily live in the capital to train the army, but the time has not yet come."

Zhu Houxi still felt that it was not enough, and in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, there was still a person standing in front of him who made the Mongolians smell the color change: Yan Chunsheng, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty.

He is just over forty, but he is actually in the prime of life and is at his peak.

"Your Majesty has an order, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of the minister, he will cross over!"

Zhu Houxi nodded: "Take out your old skills and go deep behind enemy lines!" Dongying Kandong is sandwiched from the north and south, and advances by land and water, but the depth of Dongying Kanto is not small, and the heroes should not be underestimated. The Ming Dynasty's Eastern Crusade cannot be protracted. He led the elite special combat generals to the Kanto region and carried out a beheading offensive according to the situation. The Kwantung group of thieves has no leader, so it is convenient for Wang Shi to destroy the withering and decaying after the first battle, and it is necessary to give Dongying an impression that the Ming Dynasty is invincible! ”

“…… Doesn't the minister fight with the main force of the king's division? ”

Zhu Houxi shook his head: "You are the respect of the country, it is inconvenient to come forward in the direction of the main force. I sent you, but not many people will know about it, and you will only be able to feed the war by war. I arranged this so that you should practice like this first. I won't give you credit for this; When you are tried, there will be a land for you in the Western Regions in the future! ”

Yan Chunsheng's heart was shocked: "The minister doesn't dare!" ”

"I said yes, yes!" Zhu Houxi looked at him, "After the northern expedition again in the future, the Tartars will definitely still move west." You are mighty in the grassland, and in the future, you will be like the Duke of Qianguo, the land of the Western Regions and Central Asia, choke the land trade road, and build the Ming Dynasty to the best Jinou! ”

“…… The minister will die to repay the king's kindness! ”

Zhu Houxi laughed and looked at him.

This is because of the brave generals who emerged from his own appearance, and they are the people who really benefit from the opportunities of the times created by Zhu Houxi.

You don't have to let him go, but with the credit he has already made, he must give enough rewards for using it again.

Zhu Houxi can give him a top-level return, in exchange for a Ming Perfect Territory.

The mountains of the Western Plateau must become the natural Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, which is truly digested rather than restrained.

This king with a different surname, Zhu Houxi is willing to do it!

So far, he has discharged a top lineup to deal with Dongying.

In the situation of the "Warring States", a special operations force that has already had battlefield experience and has the desire for top targets, and is the most mature and elite special operations force today, will go deep into the Kanto region, which is temporarily beyond the reach of the Ming soldiers, and randomly select the lucky heroes.

The first battle between Daming and Dongying is the final battle.

After that, it was nothing more than projecting power step by step to the entire territory there.

In addition, it is necessary to add the arrangement of beheading the chaotic enemy in the rear, just for the success of the first battle, and not to cause variables and prolonged war due to the disaster-ridden environment and treacherous geography over there.

Xia Yan and Tang Shunzhi can both go, why should Yan Chunsheng stay and not use it?

"When passing through North Korea, take Li Yuan with you." Zhu Houxi finally said, "He is also your apprentice, and his father and you will kill Bodi and capture Daxu in Akagi together." If you take him with you, thousands of years later, there will be a good story of the monarch's and ministers' comrades-in-arms in the history books! ”

"Command!"

Yan Chunsheng thanked him with a big salute, and after standing up, he had the same majesty as a tiger out of the cage.

It's been ten years. After returning to Beijing from the Northern Expedition and receiving the title of Duke of the Kingdom, he never set foot on the battlefield again.

Go to North Korea, without him.

Zheng Dongying, there was no him at the beginning.

was "pressed" by the emperor to the present, it turned out that there was such a plan.

This is not a meritorious service, but only a test of loyalty.

He is willing to wade into this dangerous lone battle to create chaos, and only then will he receive the supreme praise.

A land of nations.

Do you dare? Dare!

There was no coldness in the emperor's eyes, and Yan Chunsheng clenched his fists again: "The minister goes to order troops!" ”

"Go, I believe you will be victorious!"

……

Giant whales are released on the blue sea, and Zhu Houxi sits in Beijing looking at Dongying.

That's it, the next thing for him is to wait for the battle report and the result.

arranged these things, and before Mao Bowen arrived in Beijing and the minister of state who replaced Tang Shunzhi was determined, Zhu Houxi began to arrange the marriage for his children.

The pressure is naturally only given to Dongying.

It was now the calm before the storm, and the Tao Takabo was getting more and more anxious, because Ouchi Yoshitaka was becoming more and more pessimistic.

For Maori Yuan, who suspects that he may be an "inner ghost", he can't fight, and he can't win easily.

After beating him, the other generals of the Nizi clan may also be in danger, should the Imperial Guard Alliance be disbanded first now, and only their Ouchi clan will be under pressure alone as one of the sin chieftains named by the Great Ming?

Or is it that the enemy army has not arrived, and it is safe first?

It's hard to win, and Maori Yuan is a character who has carried it all the way.

Now, Ouchi Yoshitaka trusts Tao Longfang very much, and entrusts the Ouchi army to him, the general general, to deploy defense.

But what is it about his own timely pleasure?

Yoshitaka Ouchi, who has finished recuperating from his injuries and reappears in front of his retainers and other allies, is called strengthening friendship and defending against the enemy, but he doesn't discuss military arrangements, what's the use of just drinking and rewarding his sister?

Defend against the enemy by feelings?

At the moment of the great enemy, Tao Longfang did not understand how Yoshitaka Ouchi was always prone to collapse and escape from reality after defeat.

Fortunately, in this development, Ouchi Yoshitaka had to respond to the battle of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no "emphasis on literature and light on martial arts", which eventually led to Tao Long's house.

At present, Tao Longfang feels that he can't count on Ouchi Yoshitaka to stand up to boost morale and command the overall situation.

"Iki, Goto Islands, Kusagaki Islands, Seeds, Yakusa, and the Shimazu family also ask to set up outposts on the outskirts of Kyushu to find out when the enemy army will appear in time! The first priority of the coalition forces is to prevent the enemy from landing on the shore! Their artillery and muskets may be powerful, but the kamikaze will still protect us! Even if you can't stop the landing, the mountains of China and Kyushu are also easy to defend and difficult to attack! ”

Tao Longfang discussed the strategy with Shimazu Takahisa's retainers, and then stared at Mori Motosaru's retainers: "Aki is not the front line, Tsushima Island and Ryukyu are closer to Kyushu, and I also ask Mori-san to follow the general's order as soon as possible and send the elite to Fukuoka to assist in the defense!" ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Maori is preparing weapons, grain and grass for the army, and will set off soon."

Tao Longfang is not at ease, but no matter what, he must first weaken the strength of Maoli Yuan on this side.

If he doesn't follow orders, then it's a different matter within the Imperial Guard.

"But Tausang." The retainer of the Mori Motosho asked, "Now it seems that the war will not start until winter." Our army of Aki went to Fukuoka, is the food really okay for these few months? Maori adults are also worried about this. ”

The typhoon season has arrived, and the Ming army is still holding its ground on Tsushima Island and Ryukyu, and there is no trace of Ming warships even near the island chain of Kyushu and Iki Island on the outskirts of Honshu.

Do you really have to wait until after the typhoon season has passed, after late autumn, to start the offensive?

"For reinforcements, Shimazu-san, of course, will have plenty of food. Don't worry, we are consuming military rations, and the Ming army can only rely on sea ships to transport food! The longer it takes, the better it will be for us! ”

Tao Longfang's eyes still have some calculations.

If there are still three or four months before the Ming army really attacks, and Mao Liyuan still shirks it for various reasons, then is it a gamble and use this time to clear internal worries in advance?

These decisions need to be made by Yoshitaka Ouchi.

Tao Longfang is only a retainer, and he can't quickly digest An Yi Guo by winning over the retainers of Mori Motosho and the people of An Yi Province like Ouchi Yoshitaka.

After coordinating the battle arrangements of several parties again, Tao Takabo went to look for Ouchi Yoshitaka, and sure enough, he and Sagara Taketomi were discussing Buddhism and literature.

Although there is a martial character in the name of Sagara Warrior, he is the highest person in charge of civil affairs among the retainers of Ouchi Yoshitaka, and he is "Bunchen".

Tao Longfang didn't like Sagara Takeshi very much, so after he passed, he loudly shouted back to the woman who offered music and dance to provide Yaxing: "When is it!" Sagara Taketomi, you guy, shouldn't you discuss with Ouchi-sama now how to collect money and food and build weapons? ”

"Rude!" Sagara Taketomi had a straight face, "How can you be so domineering in front of Lord Ouchi!" ”

Yoshitaka Ouchi sighed: "It's Goro...... As a general, it's up to you to arrange the battle. ”

"It's just a retainer below! Ouchi-sama, how can we make the generals and samurai of the coalition believe that we can win this battle! And Sagara Taketomi, you guy, how do you want me to deal with their worries about military logistics? Don't you have something you need to be busy? ”

was called by Tao Longfang's name again and again, and Sagara Takeshi's face was ugly: "Sagara-san" is just that, you don't even want to reluctantly call "Takeshi-kun"?

"Goro, Taketomi, what do you say......" Yoshitaka Ouchi suddenly looked a little confused, "Maybe, can we go to Kyoto first?" ”

Tao Longfang heard the words like a thunderbolt from the blue: "Lord Ouchi, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"Let's go to Kyoto while they want to avoid the typhoon!" Ouchi Yoshitaka's eyes brightened a little, full of anticipation, "I'm the Imperial Shogun, of course I have to guard Kyoto!" ”

"What a joke!" Tao Longfang was furious, "Who can give up territory for us?" Do you want to just give up on China? ”

"Of course not...... Swap. Iwami Silver Mountain, the land of several countries. What the Mongols can't do, the Ming can't do. Besides, only Kyushu is the real front line, which can be achieved, right, Takeshi? ”

Tao Longfang felt that he had gone crazy: "Since you are convinced that Da Ming can't do it, why don't you cheer up and win this battle with dignity, prestige, and everything!" ”

“…… Gorou, I'm a little tired. Ouchi Yoshitaka's eyes became confused again, "So, I'll leave it all to you." Wuchen, continue to tell me the story of that monk......"

The lord has a tendency to develop towards otaku, and the knife on the knife holder has not been touched for a long time, but there are many books piled up next to his cushion.

Tao Takabo reluctantly left Yoshitaka Ouchi, and when he looked back, he felt a little desperate as he was infected.

Saying that the Ming Dynasty can't do it, is it used to coax others, and wants to exchange the land of several countries with people to escape the pressure of the upcoming war?

Can such a lord really lead everyone to fulfill the promise made by the Imperial Commander?

Tao Longfang, who held the power of the military affairs of the Ouchi family, couldn't help but be confused.

If you really want to win this battle, in addition to cutting off the hidden worry of the Maori family, you also have to push away this slumping coalition leader?

What kind of human suffering is this?

……

When heaven and earth come together, the heroes are not free.

Meng Yuan faced the Kamakura Shogunate, which was still effectively controlling Toei at that time, and Hojo Tokimune at that time could also be called a hero.

What the Ming Dynasty faced was the so-called "Warring States" that had been in chaos for decades and was already full of internal contradictions.

"Kamikaze" can allow Dongying to get away with it twice under Meng Yuan's soldiers, and this time the top lineup of the Ming Dynasty is coming, can it still protect Dongying for the third time?

The wind has risen, starting from the inside.

The defeat of the Imperial Guardian coalition in the southern waters of Tsushima Island made Ouchi Yoshitaka see the gap and became extremely pessimistic, triggering a huge setback in his personality and saying such things in front of Tao Takabo in a mediocre manner.

The vassals of the Ouchi clan and the vassals of the Niko clan are all within the kingdoms controlled by the Ouchi clan.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and major choices are placed in front of Tao Longfang.

He actually believes that he can defeat the enemy, even if it will be difficult, but an expedition is an expedition!

Now he has a choice: just try to win the first battle first and see if he can boost Yoshitaka Ouchi's confidence, or simply stand up and turn the tide himself?

No, he lacks prestige and must not be able to make everyone else submit.

This is self-aware, Tao Longfang knows.

Looking at the mountain city at night, Tao Longfang was silent, and then slowly looked to the southwest, and then to the east.

To defend against the Ming Dynasty, more strength is needed.

The Shimazu family slaughtered the Ryukyus, Kyushu must be the frontline, and Shimazu Takahisa had no way out.

And there is another person who has absolutely no way out: Hosokawa Harumoto, who calls himself the emperor and the general of the emperor.

Tao Longfang stood up: "Go to Naito-san's house!" ”

Yoshitaka Ouchi, who assisted Yoshitaka Ouchi but was excluded after defeating the Niko clan, was a retainer of the Ouchi clan, but the old Naito was prosperous, what do you think of the current situation?

Ouchi Yoshitaka wanted to use Iwami Silver Mountain and the land of several countries to change a place of stability and avoidance, but Tao Longfang did not agree!

He can change it, why can't the Tao Long room be used to exchange it for something else?

Xia Yan, Tang Shunzhi, and Yan Chunsheng had just set off, and the land and sea goods from Jiulian City, Dagu, and Ningbo to Dongying were endless, and there was already an evil wind on Dongying Island.

The root of this evil wind is, in the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty.

The "Warring States" storm has never stopped, but because of this source of evil wind, it will eventually brew into a different "divine wind".

This wind destroys the country.
