Chapter 233: Cooperate or Die, Which One Do You Choose?
"Humanity?"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyes were extremely confused, and he didn't understand what this war related to the fortunes of the country had to do with human nature.
Ashikaga looked at his wise grandson lovingly, nodded with a smile, and said:
"yes, humanity."
"Yimitsu, you have been smart since you were a child, and you like to read books, especially the books of the Central Plains, which has greatly increased your knowledge."
"These are all valuable treasures that will help you overcome many difficulties on your way to power in the future."
"But the communication between countries is more complicated than you think."
"There are all kinds of signs that the Ming Dynasty has been preparing for our Wadao Island for a long time, and is planning to secretly prepare a naval army, until now it is a thunderous blow."
"From the appearance of the thief's inscription to the present soldier under the city of Iwami, it only took less than a month for Daming to complete this move."
"It has been able to show that the Ming Dynasty is already imperative to Iwamikoku, and no matter what Iwamikoku has, it is no longer something we can get back."
"The Ming Dynasty sent troops at this time, and flagrantly betrayed the alliance with us, and captured Iwami, which already shows that they have no fear."
"In this war, our family lost the opportunity, not only did we know nothing about the Ming Dynasty, but we didn't even know that the Ming Dynasty had formed an alliance with Emperor Daigo."
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, if you are beaten, you must stand firm, and if you make a mistake, you must admit it."
"Now that we have lost the first hand, we must make up for this mistake as soon as possible, and we must not let the enemy leave us too far behind."
"Mending the relationship with the Ming Dynasty is to make up for the dead, so that we and the Southern Dynasty can return to the starting line."
"But grandpa, what does this have to do with human nature?"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't understand that the old man had said so much, but he didn't get to the point at all.
"We can completely ally with the Southern Dynasty to fight against the Ming Dynasty."
"That's where humanity comes in."
Ashikaga Takashi says:
"An alliance is a will on both sides, and such an alliance is an alliance, otherwise it will only be a piece of waste paper."
"Emperor Daigo of the Southern Dynasty prides himself on being orthodox and has always regarded us as mortal enemies."
"Do you think if we go to the Daigo Emperor Alliance, they will make peace with us?"
"Now Da Ming is obviously biased towards him, and Da Ming is still attacking our territory, with his character, it is impossible to form an alliance with us at this time."
"Even if what you say is out of the blue, no matter how clearly Daming said to our Wajima, Daigo will not ignore you."
"Because he will only think that this is our excuse, because we can't bear it, so he will be alarmist."
"Disasters are like that, when they don't come until they come, they won't believe what you say to these people."
"We have no choice but to unite with the Ming Dynasty, which is to be wiped out by the Southern Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty together."
"Good grandson, do you understand now?"
"When Daming appeared in Iwamikoku, this result was already doomed."
"We have been fighting with the Southern Dynasty for so many years, and it has long been impossible to reconcile, and the Ming Dynasty dared to appear in Iwami Country in a grand manner, and suddenly launched a sneak attack."
"It's that we have already been decided, not only us, but also the Southern Dynasty, all of whom have been calculated to death."
"Cooperate or die, which one will you choose?"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was silent, he was still young now, and it was the time of youth, how could he have thought that there were so many twists and turns?
He only wants to protect Wajima from other countries, but now he finds that things are not as simple as he imagined.
Things are always very simple in imagination, but in the real society, they will be subject to a lot of constraints, whether it is their own personal reasons, or the so-called so-called human feelings, they are inevitable obstacles.
Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not speak, Ashikaga Zunji slowly got up, and then spoke:
"Go, go to your father, and follow the messenger to meet our enemy this time."
"Only by experiencing enough can you broaden your horizons, increase your mind, and let you go further in the future."
Ashikaga Yoshiman was stunned, but when he saw Ashikaga Zun's serious eyes, he nodded heavily and said loudly:
"Yes!"
...
"Great joy, Lord!!"
Tagami Jiro's expression was ecstatic, and he trotted all the way to Emperor Daigo.
At this time, Emperor Daigo was discussing with his subordinates, and when he saw the excited Tanakami Jiro, he couldn't help but be a little confused and didn't understand why he was so excited.
"Tian Shang-kun, why are you so happy?"
"Could it be that the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty has collapsed?"
Emperor Daigo only jokingly mentioned that although his greatest wish in this life was to kill the Ashikaga family, he also knew that the Ashikaga family was so powerful that it would not perish in one day.
Who knew that his casual remark made Tian Shangjiro even more excited, and said loudly:
"Although it has not collapsed yet, it is not far from their end."
"The sovereign will reign over the world, completely control Wajima, and become His Majesty the most powerful emperor in history."
Emperor Daigo's eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Tagamijiro, and rebuked urgently:
"What's going on, tell me quickly."
"Our ally, Da Ming, has already sent troops."
Tian Shangjiro's face turned red, and he loudly showed off Daming's achievements:
"Iwami Province, which has now occupied the Miyoshi family, led an army of 10,000 people to look at the rebellious Damei army, and the whole army was wiped out."
"My lord, it won't be long before we can completely defeat the Ashikaga family and reunite Wajima."
"Really?"
Emperor Daigo's heart was full of disbelief at this moment, he didn't expect the Great Tomorrow Army to come so quickly.
What I didn't expect was that this ally had just arrived in Wajima, and he had directly destroyed Iwami Province.
For Iwami Province, Emperor Daigo can be said to know a lot, to be precise, it should be hated to the bone.
At that time, Emperor Daigo led a large number of samurai to completely overthrow the Kamakura shogunate, and he was ambitious to establish a centralized government.
The era of Wajima's de facto rule by the shogunate was completely ended.
At that time, many daimyo were dissatisfied, but they had to submit to the majesty of Emperor Daigo.
Even the Ashikaga family was also under the pressure of Emperor Daigo, intending to recognize Emperor Daigo's official right to rule.
But the daimyo of the Miyoshi family is a man who is not afraid of death, stunned, iron-headed baby, out of dissatisfaction with Emperor Daigo, he directly raised troops and chose to oppose Emperor Daigo's rule.
The most terrifying thing is that Emperor Daigo sent his henchmen to quell the rebellion, but he didn't take Iwami Province for a long time.
As the war dragged on, more and more daimyo saw the weakness of the imperial court, and eventually more and more daimyo rebelled, and the Ashikaga clan was elected as the leader of the rebel army and defeated the imperial army.
Subsequently, the Ashikaga clan seized the power of the court and directly abolished Emperor Daigo's throne, so that Emperor Daigo had to flee in embarrassment.
If there is a list of people that Emperor Daigo hates, the daimyo of the Miyoshi family will definitely be at the top.
But the Miyoshi family is deeply rooted in Iwami Province, and with the protection of the Ashikaga family, it is a very difficult bone to gnaw.
However, on the first day of their arrival, the Ming army destroyed the Miyoshi family in a battle, and tens of thousands of samurai were all wiped out, which had to make Emperor Daigo ecstatic.
"It's true, my lord."
Tanakami Jiro reconfirmed, saying:
"The news came from the spies on Iwami's side, and there can be no mistake."
"Now that the Ming Dynasty has begun to attack the allies of the Ashikaga family as agreed, we should also keep our promise and lease Iwami Province to the Ming Dynasty."
"As long as Daming has a foothold on Honshu Island, Daming will definitely launch a more fierce attack on the Ashikaga family in the future."
"In my opinion, it is better to lease the entire Sanyin Province to the Ming Dynasty, so that the power of the Ashikaga family will be devastated."
"When the time comes, let's send troops to Kyoto again, recover the lost territory, and unify Wajima."
Takami Jiro looked fanatical, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Emperor Daigo was also moved by Tian Shangjiro's words, and said with an excited face:
"Tanagami-kun, you immediately prepare a gift and go to Iwami Province to meet the envoy of the Ming Dynasty."
"Express our gratitude to Daming."
"And signed a contract with Daming, agreeing to lease Iwami Province to Daming, and even as long as Daming continues to attack, we are willing to lease San'in Province."
"In any case, we must satisfy Daming so that we can continue to attack the Ashikaga family."
