Although the sixth man swore that he would immediately send a fleet to the coast of Japan to retaliate against it, he was eager to destroy this eclipse.

But the major event of the soldier country, not to mention that it was the first time that the Ming Dynasty fought against the vassal country, and it was absolutely not allowed to fail. Otherwise, it will not be Liwei, but a shame.

At this time, it was the season when typhoons were prevalent, and Lao Liu didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty, so he had to wait until after the typhoon season, that is, after October, before he could go to sea to fight.

Moreover, according to the latest information collected by the Intelligence Department of the Maritime Administration Yamen, Prince Huailiang of that day issued a mobilization order from July, requiring the local tyrants of Kyushu to obey the unified command of the Zhengxi General's Mansion and fight against the Ming army.

Obviously, Huai Liang also knew that his assassination operation was likely to end in failure, and he had been preparing for a long time. Coupled with the ubiquity of pirates on the sea, it is impossible to carry out a surprise attack.

So it was one thing to brag to Boss Zhu at that time, but when I really wanted to do it, I was not in a hurry at all. After discussion, the sixth finally decided to set the time of the battle for winter.

However, the war machine has already been activated immediately, and it is necessary to make full and meticulous pre-war preparations, overhaul the warships participating in the war, prepare ammunition, military supplies, grain, grass, and other materials, assemble the personnel participating in the war, and do a good job of pre-war training......

It is also necessary to investigate the hydrological conditions and climatic conditions of the target sea area, and collect the latest intelligence of the enemy, which requires sufficient time.

And an ultimatum is to be given...... This is not a bandit, you can engage in a sneak attack, this is a battle of punishment between the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire and the lower kingdom of Fanbang, and it must be famous and upright, so that the other party can be convinced to lose, in order to achieve the effect.

So early in the morning, the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to Japan, and in front of Emperor Changqing of the Southern Dynasty, he scolded them for scolding them.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty didn't care how they were in the nest, and as soon as they went abroad, they all got too hard. The sense of superiority of 'Er is a barbarian, I am the envoy of the Heavenly Dynasty' ran through the entire Ming Dynasty. It was the tone set by these macho men at the time of the founding of the country.

Zhao Zhi, who was ordered to send an envoy, from the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Japan sent an envoy to China to ask for canonization, was canonized by Liu Xiu as a slave state, and all Japanese dynasties have sent envoys to be ministers, and they are as obedient to the Celestial Empire as a son to his father.

The Celestial Empire also gave generously to Japan like a father to his son, and taught his own culture and civilization to Japan, so that it could get out of the wilderness, and become a monkey and become decent.

But in your generation, the number of classics forgot their ancestors, ungrateful, not only did not think of repaying filial piety, but continued to send pirates, plundered and harassed the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, and also killed and detained the envoys sent by the emperor.

Later, you sent an envoy to apologize and explain, and the emperor was merciful and willing to give you another chance. Who knew that they did not repent, intensified their efforts, and sent assassins to participate in the coup d'état in our country, in a vain attempt to murder the emperor, which is really capricious and vicious, even if it is incomparable to beasts!

Then there is the extreme bad breath time that lasts for a quarter of an hour. Do you know why Emperor Guangwu called you the Japanese slave country? Because your legs are short and short, the Han Book records that 'there are dwarves coming to the court on the Lelang Sea', so it is called 'Wa'.

More than a thousand years have passed, and you are still so short and obscene, and you are still arrogant and arrogant, and dare to call the emperor in vain, you really don't know how thick the sky is! Why not drown yourself? See if you deserve it? Match a few handfuls!

In the end, three requirements were put forward, one was to kidnap the culprit Huailiang and send it to the Ming Dynasty and hand it over to the emperor of the Celestial Empire; the second is that the emperor went to the name of the emperor and went to the Ming Dynasty to ask the emperor for guilt; The third is the compensation for the cession of land, with an annual loss of 10 million yuan, and all the fiefdoms of Huailiang will be ceded to the Ming Dynasty as compensation......

Finally, Zhao Zhi gave a fan inscribed by Boss Zhu's royal pen and said: "My emperor got a fan from the hand of the monk Ruyao, and he inscribed a poem on the fan and gave it to the king, so that Er Hao did it himself." ”

Although the Japanese monarch and minister had already tilted their noses in anger, they were still very curious when they heard the words. Changqing ordered someone to take it and unfold it, but it was just a broken fan, with an inscription like Monk Yao on it, and stains of blood, which was obviously used by him when he commanded the battle.

Changqing turned over the fan, only to see a silver hook iron painting on the top of the inscription "Fan Xing", the verse said:

‘…… The king has no way to be a thief, and he disturbs the living beings and ghosts. Watching the sky and sitting in the well, I don't know, and I think it's convenient to break my hair and spots. ’

‘…… The monarch and the ministers stomped and whispered, and the wanton jumped the beam to do the constitution. Now that I know that with a wave of my grasp, the Japanese slaves will change in the future. ’

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Chang Qing angrily threw the fan on the ground, and the green tendons on the blue head jumped suddenly.

Huailiang, the general of Zhengxi on the side, picked it up and looked at it, and he screamed angrily, and pulled out his knife to kill the envoy.

Zhao Zhi sat on the mattress, unafraid.

Seeing that the knife was about to be cut down, he was stopped by Guan Bai Erjo Jiaolai swinging the knife, and then the two of them chatted in frog language, and Huailiang dropped the knife and left angrily.

Then Zhao Zhi was asked to go down to rest. A few days later, he was summoned by Changqing again and told him that things were too tricky and that he needed time to think about it.

Zhao Zhi told him that before the end of the deadline, he must take Huailiang to Nanjing to ask for sin, otherwise as soon as the New Year passes, the Celestial Empire will immediately raise a division, and then it will not be as simple as asking for sin, but to destroy the country.

After speaking, Zhao Zhi refused to stay, left Japan directly, and returned to Daming.

~~

However, neither the sixth nor Boss Zhu had any hope that Japan would surrender obediently. Because of the contact in the past few years, it has been proved that the Japanese slaves are a group of capricious and cunning villains who do not shed tears when they see the coffin.

Moreover, the sixth child knew that the political system of the Southern Dynasties of Japan was similar to that of the Northern Dynasties, and it was all about the generals, and the emperor was just a decoration. What the Southern Dynasty really had the final say was Huailiang, the general of Zhengxi, how could he hand himself over by himself?

It's surprising that he didn't cut down the envoy like before and gave it back as a gift, right? This proves that the situation of Huailiang and even the Southern Dynasty is really worrying, so he tried to avoid it as much as possible and further angered the Ming Dynasty......

Sure enough, until Chinese New Year's Eve, no Japanese official ship arrived in Daming. At this time, the huge conquest fleet had been prepared for battle and was ready to go.

As soon as the New Year of the fourteenth year of Hongwu passed, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Taishi Li Shanchang and Taibao Li Wenzhong to share the sacrifice of heaven and earth, informed him of the legitimacy of sending troops to Japan, asked for the blessing of heaven and earth, and personally presided over the oath ceremony, awarded the old six generals to seal the sword, and ordered him to lead the army to the battle!

And Nan'an Hou Yu Tongyuan as the left deputy general, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi as the right deputy general, Zhoushan Boliao Dingguo, Wuchang Bohu Bo, Nanchang Bohuquan, Yu Tongjiang and other deputy generals with the army.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang led 100 officials to Longjiang Pass to see off the conquest fleet, only to see that the wide river was like a forest, the white sails were like clouds, and more than 200 large and small warships were moored in dense turns.

Half of the warships belonged to the city fleet, and the other half came from the Sailor Division. After so many years of running-in and adjustment, the officers and men of the two fleets have frequently transferred each other, and they are no longer distinguishable from each other.

30,000 officers and soldiers lined up on the deck to pay the highest respect to Emperor Hongwu on the shore. Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen such a huge fleet since the water battle of Poyang Lake, and he is also full of enthusiasm, and he loudly wishes the soldiers a triumphant return, and immediately announces the dispatch of the fleet!

"Yes!" Dressed in golden armor, with the sword of the Son of Heaven hanging from his waist, His Royal Highness the mighty Sea King responded with his fists, and then turned around and shouted: "Set sail!" ”

In the rumbling drums, the soldiers shouted long live, and then pulled out the anchor and raised the sails one after another, skillfully maneuvered the battleship, formed two columns, and went down the river and straight into the East China Sea!
