Chapter 236: Since you can't form an alliance, let's destroy them

Wajima Kyoto.

In the base camp of the Muromachi shogunate, everyone was listening intently to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and talking about how to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

"Since our alliance with Da Ming is no longer possible, then let's go the other way straight."

"It's better to form an alliance with the Southern Dynasty, and then suddenly launch an attack on the Ming garrison in Iwami Province."

"If it goes well, I'm afraid that it won't be long before Daming will be driven down by us to feed the fish."

"As far as I know, the Ming army's army on Wadao Island is less than 30,000 people at all, and all of them are infantry, no cavalry."

"Although their firearms are very powerful, but we also have firearms on Wajima, everyone knows how powerful they are, even if they are powerful, what can they do to us?"

"Just in case, we can gather all the feudal towns around Iwami Province to raise troops, plus the army of our Ashikaga family, a full 100,000 soldiers and horses."

"When the time comes, there will be only 30,000 Ming troops, and it will be impossible for us to be our opponent."

"As long as there is no Ming Dynasty to mix in Wajima, Emperor Daigo of the Southern Dynasty is really not our opponent."

After saying this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

This Ashikaga Yoshimitsu actually chose to start a war against the Ming Dynasty, which is really unbelievable and bold.

Ashikaga Yoshikan was the first to stand up against it, saying:

"It's not going to work."

"If we start a war with the Ming Dynasty, if we are defeated, it will be a disaster to destroy the country."

"Even if you win by luck, it will only anger the Ming monarchs."

"The fact that the Ming Dynasty was able to quickly occupy Iwami Province shows that the strength of the Ming Dynasty's naval army has far exceeded that of the past."

"When the time comes, if the Daming Sailor continues to invade our coastal areas, won't we be sleepless all night."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face was light, and he explained:

"As far as I know, the previous Ming Dynasty never paid attention to the ocean, let alone a naval army."

"Think about the samurai we sent out before, and if you can crisscross the Daming Sea area, you will know that the strength of the Daming naval army is very weak."

"The current naval army must be newly built, if we can wipe out the Ming army and this naval army, I believe that the Ming Dynasty will definitely not have the strength, and then send a second naval army to invade the waters of our island."

Shigehide Suzuki, as the envoy of the envoy, also stood up and objected:

"Even if we defeat the Ming Dynasty, it is likely that our vitality will be greatly damaged, and Emperor Daigo of the Southern Dynasty will not let go of such a good opportunity."

"He is likely to take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on our dynasty, and when the army is in the north, how should he deal with Emperor Daigo's attack?"

Ashikaga Yoshiman said with confidence:

"If we attack the Ming Dynasty, we will publish a document and describe this operation as a joint action between the Southern Dynasty and our army."

"If you write the national righteousness and the national righteousness on the inscription and inform the lords, presumably the Emperor Daigo of the Southern Dynasty will not be so unwise."

"If he really takes this opportunity to attack us, it will be a great opportunity for us."

"Taking advantage of the country's righteousness, he followed Emperor Daigo's daimyo in a weddy, and when the time came, Emperor Daigo even rebelled against his relatives."

Listening to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu talking, everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do, and then everyone's eyes turned to Ashikaga Takashi.

At this moment, only the Ashikaga clan, as the head of the family, is qualified to make a decision.

Ashikaga sat on the main seat, and the wrinkles on his face became clearer, as if he had lost a lot of energy.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Ashikaga Zunji slowly spoke:

"In the past, the Great Yuan Imperial Court was invincible and subdued all over the world, and the Southern Song Dynasty and other countries in Korea were destroyed by the Great Yuan."

"Kublai Khan wants to strike while the iron is hot, send an envoy to come, and let us submit to the Great Yuan."

"But it was categorically rejected by the Kamakura government, and the people of Wajima were born and grew up in Sri Lanka for generations, and they will never give up their homeland easily."

"Then we ushered in Dayuan's three eastern crusades, wanting to destroy our island in one fell swoop."

"At that time, Dayuan's fleet was covered with flags, gongs and drums, and the momentum was incomparably majestic."

"But in the end, under the command of the Kamakura shogunate, Wajima united as one, and finally defeated Dayuan."

"The peace of our Wa Island for a hundred years has been realized, and since then, there has never been a Central Plains Dynasty that dares to come to the labor division to expedition to our Wa Island."

"Now, the Ming Dynasty does not know the mandate of heaven, and he has to go against the sky, make enemies of my Japanese island, and want to destroy my Japanese island."

"On this occasion, we should follow the example of the sages, gather the world's great names, and fight them together."

Everyone was shocked, and it seemed that this time they really wanted to meet the Ming soldiers.

But everyone present was at a loss, after all, Da Ming and Da Yuan are both behemoths.

The original Dayuan was unable to open up the situation in Wajima, which led to a failure.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has occupied Iwami Province, opened up the situation in the northern part of Honshu Island, and has allied with the Southern Dynasties, it is completely different.

In addition, when the Kamakura shogunate was in power, Wajima was able to defeat Dayuan.

Now the Ming Dynasty is making a comeback, but the Muromachi Shogunate is suffering from the enemy on its back, and it is really not a wise move to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

After Ashikaga Takashi's words were finished, Ashikaga Yoshikan still stood up and objected, saying:

"Father, this is too risky."

"Why can't we attack the Southern Dynasty, and then get the support of the Ming Dynasty to unify the island?"

"Why take such a risk, if there is a little mistake, it will be doomed, please think twice."

Ashikaga Son's eyes shone brightly, and when he saw Ashikaga Yoshitsune's opposition, he did not get angry, but instead taught Tuntun:

"Emperor Daigo of the Southern Dynasty has a heart higher than the sky, a life thinner than paper, and a great ambition and talent, and he is not a monarch who can achieve things at all."

"And the Ming in the north is a dragon and a tiger, sharpening his sword, and he plans to invade the territory of my island in the south at any time."

"If it is to attack the Ming Dynasty, then Emperor Daigo will not necessarily send troops to rescue him, but if it is the other way around, to attack Emperor Daigo, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not let go of such an opportunity."

"Go down and prepare, immediately gather the army secretly, and wait for my order, ready to attack at any time."

"This time, if we eat the Ming Dynasty in one bite, everything will be over, and the Southern Dynasty will become our bag sooner or later."

Ashikaga Son's thorough analysis completely convinced everyone, and Ashikaga Yoshikan no longer spoke, but led people out of the hall and began to assemble troops.

Ashikaga then said to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu again:

"This trip to the Southern Dynasty is very important, you take Suzuki Shigehide to the south together."

"Be sure to convince Emperor Daigo that he doesn't need to send troops, he just needs to stand still and watch the fire from the other side."

"As long as we get half a month's time, otherwise Daming will inevitably be driven out of Wadao by us."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finally became the chief envoy of the mission this time, and Shigemu Suzuki became his deputy envoy.

"Grandpa rest assured, even if the grandson is broken, he will complete his grandfather's entrustment."

Seeing that his grandson was so promising, Ashikaga Zunji was very pleased, nodded, and then let Ashikaga Yoshimitsu leave and prepare to go to Yamato of the Southern Dynasty.

After everyone left one after another, the smile on Ashikaga Son's face quickly converged, and his brows furrowed, as if he had a messy sorrow that could not be resolved.

Even if what he just said is impassioned, but when he really faces the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, the Ashikaga Zun clan is still worried in his heart.

With small and large, it has been full of crises since ancient times, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that you will lose all the games.

The current Ashikaga family is in this situation.

After learning that there was no hope for an alliance with the Daming, the Ashikaga clan had to make such a difficult decision.

Because in his opinion, going south to attack the Southern Dynasty is simply killing himself, and he will even end up being buried with Wajima with him.

When that time comes, it will be the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, not only the Ashikaga family, but also the Emperor Daigo of the Southern Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Ashikaga Takanaga couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes gradually turned to the north, hoping that the next plan would go well.
