Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been Japanese invaders to harass the coast, Zhu Yuanzhang said that the emperor and queen edicts the Quartet, but there are still Japanese invaders "take advantage of the Ming Dynasty undecided, and the Kou plunder the coast". At the same time, there were also the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen who fled to the sea, often colluding with the Japanese to loot cargo ships and harass coastal areas, so Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, had almost no good feelings for Dongying from the beginning.

In the second year after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (1369, the second year of Hongwu), Ming Taizu sent an edict to Dongying, Champong, Java and Western countries, and then Champong, Annam, and Goryeo paid tribute. Then Ming Taizu sent three envoys to Japan, hoping to trade and eliminate the Japanese invaders, but they were all blocked in Kansai by Huailiang, the general of the Eastern Ying Expedition to the West, and could not meet the Emperor of the Eastern Ying Dynasty (Emperor Ming of the Northern Dynasty).

At this time, Toei was still in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there were three forces: the Southern Dynasty represented by Emperor Daigo, the Northern Dynasty represented by Emperor Shomei, and the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (the shogun supported the Northern Dynasty). On behalf of the Southern Dynasty, Huai Liang, the general of the Eastern Ying Expedition to the West, guarded the Kansai Island on Kyushu Island, and due to the division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Kyushu Island was also divided by these three forces. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Ming officials could not even tell who was the real master of Dongying and who the emperor was.

After the establishment of tributary relations between the Ming Dynasty and Dongying, during the period of Toei Ashikaga Yoshiman, the Dongying tribute ship came six times before and after the survey, and also sent the captured Japanese to the Ming Dynasty according to the agreement.

However, after the death of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Ashikaga Yoshinori who succeeded him severed his ties with the Ming Dynasty in 1411.

In 1432, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ashikaga Yoshikyo, the shogunate general of the Eastern Ying Dynasty, was forced by the threat of Western Portugal, and began to resume tribute to the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute to horses, armor, swords, sumac, sulfur, red copper and other items.

After returning to Tibet Wuxiong to unify the evil forces of Dongying, he recruited more than 30,000 warriors of the defeated princes and stationed them on more than ten islands at the junction of Daming and Dongying. For more than ten years, the two sides have plundered, causing disaster to Dongying and the coastal residents of the Ming Dynasty.

Both Dongying and Daming once sent troops to conscript, but Guizang Takeo was good at using troops, often hiding guerrillas back and forth between the borders of the two countries, and both Dongying and Daming were helpless against him. In recent years, the Portuguese wanted to colonize many islands in the East China Sea, and secretly supported the financial resources and firearms of Guizang Takeo, and the bandit army of Guizang Takeo became even stronger, with nearly 50,000 soldiers and further expansion.

After Yanagi Senbei introduced the whole story, he was silent for a long time, and said worriedly: "I, the princes of Dongying, have been at war all year round, and their rule is relatively scattered, and the shogunate's army is only about 100,000 people. The army of Takeo Guizang was supported by Portugal and had already deployed some firearms, and if it took another year or two, I am afraid that it would land and attack the shogunate, and then the whole of Toei would be in danger, and I am afraid that it would become a Portuguese colony. ”

Emperor Xuande sighed, "Dugu Aiqing, do you understand the current situation?" The Portuguese national firearms developed rapidly, although their population was small, but with the advantage of firearms, the development of navigation technology, has occupied many islands in the East and West, as their colonies. Portugal plundered the resources of the colonies and further developed its own economy and military, and sooner or later invaded our Ming Dynasty. ”

Dugu Xiaotian was silent for a moment when he heard this, "The Holy Lord is far-sighted, if Portugal is allowed to occupy Dongying, then at most ten years, Portugal will invade coastal areas such as Daming, Fujian, Zhejiang, etc., and then Daming will inevitably be ruined." ”

"Your Majesty wants me to sneak to Dongying and lead the Dongying army to defeat the Guizang Wuxiong?" Dugu Xiaotian then asked.

Yanagi Qianbei and Yanagi Yukiko's faces changed color when they heard this, and Yanagi Yukiko couldn't help but ask: "Dugu Xiaotian, before you came, did someone secretly tell you about the situation here?" ”

Dugu Xiaotian smiled indifferently and shook his head.

Emperor Xuande laughed, "Niece Liu Sheng, this matter is highly confidential, and only the three of us knew about it before. 'Laughing Man' is wiser than the sky, and it is not surprising that he can guess the strategy we have been plotting for three days. ”

"Do you have more confidence in him?" Emperor Xuande said with a smile.

Yanagi Qianbei and Yanagi Yukiko glanced at each other, and Yanagi Yukiko said crisply: "It's not enough to have wisdom and resourcefulness, but it's not enough to have bravery, please ask Your Majesty for permission, let me learn a few tricks from Brother Dugu." ”

Dugu Xiaotian looked at the peerless Yanagi Yukiko, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that such a beautiful woman was actually a master of Dongying martial arts.

"Okay, this matter is confidential, you can learn a few tricks in the imperial study, and be careful not to break too many of my treasures." Emperor Xuande said with a painful face.

Dugu Xiaotian shook his head, and Liu Sheng Xuezi's face showed anger, "Brother Dugu, do you look down on my Dongying woman?" ”

Dugu Xiaotian said softly: "Princess, don't misunderstand, today, only one person is qualified to fight alone with me." You and Brother Yanagi go up together. ”

Yanagi Yukiko's face turned red when she heard this, and she was surprised, "Look at the move!" ”。 Yanagi Yukiko struck a karate "knife side attack", and the hand knife slashed at Dugu Xiaotian's neck.

Dugu Xiaotian saw Liu Sheng Xuezi waving his hand knife, the wind was whistling, and his strength had actually reached the eightfold peak of internal strength, and he couldn't help but praise secretly.

He used the "grasping" style of Bodhidharma's heart fist and grabbed Yanagi Yukiko's wrist.

Yanagi Yukiko saw Dugu Xiaotian's fingers grabbing it, fast and fast, and was shocked, and hurriedly changed his moves without waiting for the old moves.

Karate originated from the Tang hand, divided into kicking, hitting, falling, holding, throwing, locking, twisting, reverse techniques, points and other 9 moves, later the Tang hand was introduced to the East Ying, the head of the East Ying martial arts master headquarters to study the moves in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and to improve them, forming a more lethal karate.

Lateral protrusion, inverted protrusion, qi (vocalization), lower stage receiving, raising receiving, external receiving, internal receiving, hand knife receiving, riding up, forward bending, backward bending, then standing, forward kick, side kick up, side kick in, Yanagi Yukiko shoots like electricity, and performs many karate moves.

No matter how Dugu Xiaotian made a move, she grabbed it at random, grabbing Yanagi Yukiko's wrist or ankle, forcing Yanagi Yukiko to be in a hurry.

After more than two dozen moves, Dugu Xiaotian shook his head, grabbed the ankle that Yanagi Yukiko kicked sideways. Yanagi Yukiko only felt a numbness in her legs, her strength dissipated, and half of her body couldn't move.

A soft touch reached Dugu Xiaotian's fingers, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand and took two steps back. "Miss Yanagi, I agreed."

Although Yukiko Yanagi lost, she was not angry at all. She blushed, glanced at Dugu Xiaotian, and was silent.

The True Idle Master and the Wuchenzi Dao Elder behind Emperor Xuande saw each other and smiled.

Wuchen Dao sighed, "What a trick to grasp the great gods, your Shaolin Temple has taken a big advantage." ”

Master Zhenxian grinned, "No matter how good the martial arts are, it depends on who uses them." Xiaotian's trick is so wonderful that I can't use it. ”

Liu Sheng Qianbei bowed and saluted, "I have to be a 'laughing man' to win the world, I see it today, Dugu Shaoxia Wen Tao Wuluo, Qianbing Wei admires it very much, and is willing to be sent in the future." Please arrange it as soon as possible. ”

Emperor Xuande Longyan was delighted, and said happily: "Dugu Xiaotian, you don't have an official position, so as a civilian, you will lead 20 Jinyi Guard Shadow Masters to go to Dongying with the two brothers and sisters of Liu Sheng to stabilize the situation." ”

"Yes!" Dugu smiled and bowed down to receive the order.
