Li Bin's ability is still there.

In the seventh year of Yongle, Li Faliang in Jiangxi rebelled, and Li Bin was ordered to lead the army to encircle and suppress, although Li Faliang led some miscellaneous troops, but in terms of combat effectiveness, there was no difference from the Japanese army that Zhu Zhanyan had encountered before.

But it's not the future, and the one that you have to face in the back is the permanent army of the Japanese State.

In fact, the resistance intensity that Zhu Zhan Yan encountered before was very average, firstly, it was affected by the military system of the Japanese State, and every time there was a war, they carried it out like this, so they did the same in the face of the Ming army this time.

These two are the internal factors of the Wa State.

Heiankyo, Muromachi.

The reason why the current Wakoku is called the Muromachi Shogunate period is that the Ashikaga clan, which pioneered this era, originally set up the shogunate in Muromachi, Heiankyo.

However, although the Ashikaga clan had brought the Wakoku into the Muromachi shogunate period as early as 1336, there was a serious problem in the Wakuni kingdom that lasted for a long time.

After the establishment of the New Deal, the interests of the samurai class were greatly reduced by the emperor, which caused dissatisfaction among the samurai class, especially the fallen shogun Ashikaga Takashi.

He intended to start a new shogunate, but what the emperor did undoubtedly made him break off the idea.

Therefore, the Ashikaga clan led a samurai class uprising, forcing the then Emperor Go-Daigo to abdicate the throne and establishing the Emperor Koumitsu under the Meiin system, and this emperor canonized the Ashikaga clan as the shogun of the Seiyi, fulfilling his desire to establish a shogunate.

However, this is also the beginning of the problem.

Emperor Go-Daigo, who was forced to abdicate, was unwilling to give up and managed to escape from Heian-kyo, and took the three artifacts symbolized by the emperor with him and retreated to Yamato.

Since then, the Wa Kingdom has entered the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in which two emperors stood side by side, and it is known as "Two Emperors in One Day in Southern Beijing".

Of course, it is the history book of the Wa Kingdom.

It was not until the 25th year of Hongmu that Emperor Go-Kameyama, a descendant of the original Emperor Go-Daigo, returned the three artifacts symbolized by the emperor to the Northern Dynasty, that is, Emperor Go-Komatsu under the rule of the Ashikaga Shogunate, which ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom.

In other words, it has only been about 20 years since the real unification of the Japanese state.

Moreover, although the Emperor Gokameyama of the Southern Dynasty voted for the Northern Dynasty, the Japanese people of the Southern Dynasty, or the great feudal lords, were not willing to defect to the Northern Dynasty, which is why Zhu Zhanyan encountered such a small obstacle.

The Ashikaga shogunate also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to completely unify the Wa Kingdom, but the current shogun, Ashikaga Yoshinori, miscalculated.

In his plan, if the Ming army wants to attack the Wa Kingdom, it must first attack the Southern Dynasties, because this is inevitable caused by the terrain, and he will not send troops at this time, so let the Ming army vent on the land of the Southern Dynasties.

He wanted to wait until the Ming army had vented enough and withdrawn his troops, and then he would come forward to clean up the mess, and he would be able to unify the Japanese country.

Previously, Zhu Zhan Yan also settled down for a period of time after taking Iwami Silver Mountain, which gave Ashikaga Yoshinori a wrong signal: the Ming army was going to withdraw its troops.

But now, seeing that Zhu Zhan Yan led his army all the way to conquer Izumo, Boqi and Inaba, and as long as he broke one more Tajima, he could cross the dividing line between the northern and southern dynasties of the Wa Kingdom and approach Kyoto, he finally panicked.

And the pressure he has to face doesn't stop there.

Ashikaga Yoshinori's position as shogun was not precarious, as he also had a younger brother.

Ashikaga Yoshimori's father, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, never had a son-in-law in his early years, and neither the main room Hino Yeko nor the step-room Hino Yasuko could give birth to a son-in-law for him, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had no choice but to let Hino Yasuko adopt Ashikaga Yoshinori and then make him his son-in-law.

Later, Ashikaga Yoshinori's life was smooth, and when he was nine years old, his father gave him the position of shogun, but his father transferred to the post of taisei minister, and he, the nine-year-old shogun, was really just a decoration.

However, at this point in time, the fate of Ashikaga Yoshinori was once again in turmoil.

It was also in this year that his younger brother and his father's sister-in-law, Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, was born.

The youngest son, plus he is still a son-in-law, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is naturally very fond of Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, and it is precisely for this reason that the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshinori and his father began to deteriorate.

Four years ago, in the eighth year of Eiraku, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took Ashikaga Yoshitsugu to meet Emperor Gokomatsu in an attempt to replace the shogunate.

However, before the change of shogun could begin, their father, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, died of illness, and Ashikaga Yoshinori seized the only remaining opportunity to drive his brother out.

However, this did not make his position as shogun secure, because he had no reason to kill his younger brother and never suffer from it, and Emperor Go-Komatsu did not like the shogunate to hold all the power, and began to unite with Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, who had been driven out of Kyoto.

The internal instability was already instability, and the real pro-government was only four years, and now it has encountered the attack of the Ming army, and the voices of opposition to Ashikaga Yoshiji in the government and the opposition are getting louder and louder.

If the matter of the Ming army cannot be resolved properly this time, Ashikaga Yoshinori may be pushed down.

This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that the Muromachi Shogunate period, which was already at the end of the period, is likely to end here, and the Warring States period will start before Oda Nobunaga appears.

"Someone!" Ashikaga Yoshimori, who had a headache, had no choice but to start with the most basic methods one by one.

——

Inaba.

Zhu Zhanyan actually didn't like to lead troops to fight, or it should be said that he didn't like to deal with the stable work at the end of the war, which was too time-consuming.

But if you don't deal with it, it's not good, now he is going to sea to discuss, and once the problems behind him are not handled well, it is very likely to fall into a situation of being surrounded.

Although it is said that as soon as this situation appears, Wang Jinghong will lead the fleet to bypass the enemy's encirclement and meet him from the coast, but the losses will always be there, and they will not be small.

"His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Ling's voice made everyone's eyes turn to him, because people could hear a slight difference from Zhu Ling's voice.

"Say." Zhu Zhanyan looked at the sorting report sent by Mu Xin, and said without raising his head.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Kaiyu, the shogun of the Wa Kingdom has sent an envoy who wants to negotiate peace with His Highness!"

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanyan was stunned for a moment, and asked a little sluggishly.

"Shogun? Peace talks? ”

"Yes!"

"Hehe......" Zhu Zhanyan laughed, very bright.

"Biography!"

"Yes!"

……

Outside the tent of the Ming army's camp, whether it was a general like Li Bin or the most ordinary soldiers, they all gathered outside Zhu Zhan's tent, wanting to hear the voices inside.

It was the first time they had seen an envoy sent by the Japanese since the conquest of the Wa State, and it was a peace negotiation.

It's just that they don't dare to get too close, and they don't dare to speak loudly.

In the tent, Zhu Zhanyan looked at the messenger sent by Ashikaga Yoshinori, and his expression was a little playful.

For no other reason, the envoy also brought a peace edict and a list of reparations when he came.

However, in Zhu Zhan's opinion, this Ashikaga Yoshinori is thinking a little too much.
