For a big island to conquer the journey, according to Ding Jianpeng's prudent consideration, it needs to be carefully planned, after all, the entire Japanese archipelago is not as small as the Ryukyu Islands, but Xiao Ming's method is very simple, that is, to push it over, no matter how many islands you have, how many countries you have, whether you are Japan or Fuso!

Xiao Ming has reason to be so confident, with the weapons and warships he is currently equipped with and the way he fights that is incompatible with this era, that is, to kill the Buddha when he meets the Buddha, and kills the god when he meets the god! What's more, the entire Japanese archipelago has not been unified at present, and it is still in the former Warring States period full of small countries and lords!

Xiao Ming led four warships along the Ryukyu Sea towards the Japanese archipelago, Ding Jianpeng asked Xiao Ming about the purpose of this trip, Xiao Ming told him that "there is no purpose in the conquest and the crime, that is, to invade the Japanese archipelago and seek the greatest economic benefits!" Ding Jianpeng, on the other hand, returned to Hangzhou to organize a large-scale cultural export operation.

The so-called cultural export, which was at the request of the king of Zhongshan, sent a large number of Great Song Dynasty books to the entire Ryukyu for the study of the Central Plains culture in the entire Ryukyu Island, which also matched Xiao Ming's promise to develop medical care and education in the Ryukyus, of course, this was part of the power package plan!

At noon the next day, Xiao Ming's warship arrived on Kyushu Island, Japan, the largest port on Kyushu Island should be Nagasaki Port, but there are many good ports that can land on the Japanese archipelago in the Outer Pacific, but now they are all small fishing villages, Xiao Ming only chooses one place as the landing place, because the two largest countries on Kyushu Island are called Asuka Country and Osumi!

In fact, there should be more than a dozen countries in the entire Kyushu island now, Kyushu Hizen, Higo, Bunzen, Bungo, Chikuzen, Chikugo, Satsuma, Hinata, Osumi and Asuka, these countries are actually some lords and military attachés, but there are also fiefs of the emperor's various sons, legend has it that Emperor Saga had nearly 100 sons, and he once drove all the thirty-two sons of his biological mother's relatively low status out of the imperial family, and let them go to the fief to support themselves, and the reason for this is because the emperor has no money.

Due to the language barrier, Xiao Ming asked the locals to ask, but they didn't get any information, the nobles and the lords of the country of Asuka lived in their own estates, and the ordinary people didn't even dare to mention these when they spoke, because Japan in the Heian period had just gotten rid of the slave society for a short time, and it was only more than a hundred years.

Ordinary people still belong to the untouchables and other people's house slaves, so they have always been in a kind of submissive performance to these old men, but this made Xiao Ming misunderstand! He thought that these lords must not be a good thing, so he didn't have so many worries, and ordered the tiger guards to kill them and carry out organized robbery.

The lords and lords of the national defense counties of Kyushu have fallen into blood mold, people are sitting at home, disasters come from the sky, Xiao Ming's tiger guards rush into their homes like wolves and tigers, and plunder their property, and their own guards and armies can only let the family slaughter!

Whenever Xiao Ming went, he ordered to hand over the pirate leader "Fog Hidden Thunder"! At the same time, Xiao Ming ordered all the tiger guards to confiscate all the gold, and distribute other finances to the poor people, but how could these short people and fishermen of Kyushu Island dare to scoop up the belongings of the lords and lords, but they were frightened and trembling one by one.

Xiao Ming was very puzzled by this phenomenon at first, and when he saw many poor people crying like mourners, he even thought that these untouchables had been brainwashed by the lords? But Guo Shouxin said something that made him suddenly enlightened, Guo Shouxin said: "It seems that the power of these nobles in this place is deep-rooted and needs to be completely solved!" ”

Guo Shouxin means to kill! Xiao Ming felt cruel at first, but he quickly figured out that the twelfth century did not talk about democracy and had no human rights! A nation like the Japanese islanders must believe in the principle that whoever has the biggest fist is the king, so he handed over the matter to Guo Shouxin and no longer asked about it.

Guo Shouxin's method was simple and rude, that is, in front of all the poor and untouchables, he killed all the lords and nobles, and suddenly the entire Kyushu Island was full of blood, and the number of killed lords and generals and nobles from all sides reached several thousand, and after seeing these people killed, the entire poor and untouchable class suddenly boiled!

Everyone competed to grab the property and wealth of the nobles, even their women did not let go, many poor fishermen father and son families without women for two generations, noble women are the most popular, often snatching one or two is the tool of venting for all the men in the family.

On the other hand, these people were grateful to the army led by Xiao Ming under the banner of "Great Song", and some nobles and lords' retainers organized some slight resistance, which were also quickly eliminated by the tiger guards, and launched a search and arrest operation, and a large number of people were forced to flee from Kyushu Island.

Of course, there are also "Japanese traitors", a kind of middle-class and handicraft monks through the temples on the island have contacted Xiao Ming, asking him to stop killing, willing to cooperate with Xiao Ming to exterminate pirates and manage the whole island! , Xiao Ming let them decide for themselves, and set up a temporary management body, ask the people of high moral standing as officials, and quickly form a militia army.

And Xiao Ming didn't stay on Kyushu Island anymore, he took the tiger guard to continue to sweep eastward across Shikoku Island, the original four countries in Shikoku Island were decibels Iyo, Tosa, Awa, Sanuki, after Xiao Ming landed, the rules remained the same, and for a while, Shikoku Island made waves again, and Xiao Ming's warship began to cruise in the Seto Inland Sea to prepare to land on Honshu Island!

Xiao Ming's series of actions finally caused a shock throughout Japan, at this time the entire northwestern part of Japan was experiencing war, the emperor revered by all countries was called Emperor Shirakawa, the younger brother of Emperor Yuhito, and his elder brother was demoted to the rank of Loyal King, and the Dazai Fujiwara clan at this time racked their brains to balance the two largest political forces.

These two forces are the Genji clique entrenched in the Kanto region and the Taira clique in Kannai, in fact, these two political forces are inextricably linked with the emperor, Genji and Hei were the first descendants of the emperor, and Emperor Kanmu and Emperor Saga successively drove out the descendants of their biological mothers who were not prominent from the imperial family.

Since in order to become an independent courtier and break away from the royal family, it is necessary to have his own surname, so the emperor gave the surname "Gen! These two groups of the emperor's descendants were distributed in the Kanto and Kannai regions until two cliques were formed, and now they are marching into the entire emperor's court and forcing the Fujiwara clan, who had been in control of the government, to relinquish power.

The Fujiwara clan used the contradiction between the two forces to sow discord and force them to fight with each other, but at this moment, it was reported that the Great Song Dynasty of the Central Plains actually continued to attack the entire Japanese archipelago in the name of fighting pirates, and the slaughter was very heavy, and the island was shocked, and the Fujiwara clan ordered the Taisei Minister Taira Nakamori to deal with the matter.

Taisei Minister Taira Nakamori was already a prominent figure in the Taira family, and his appointment was also a symbol of the Taira clan's entry into the imperial court after the Taira clan began to break free from the power of the Genji samurai.

Genji's power reached its peak when it reached Minamoto Yoshiya, and then went downhill. Although the Kanto clan lost its Kanto territory due to the Taira Tadatsune Rebellion, from the time of Hei Shoyo, the son of Taira Sadamori, who had achieved military success in the pacification of the Taira Shomon Rebellion, he transferred his base to the places of Iga and Ise (Junmie Prefecture), one of the corners of the region, and was called the "Ise Taira clan".

Ping Zhongsheng first sent an envoy to ask Xiao Ming's Great Song army why it attacked the Japanese island? After learning of the piracy incident, he reported to Fujiwara Yorinaga, the head of the Fujiwara clan, and suggested that the matter be resolved peacefully, assist Xiao Ming of the Great Song Dynasty in scooping up pirates, and improve relations with the Great Song Dynasty.

However, his suggestion was opposed by the controversial general Minamoto Yoshito, who insisted on being tough on the Great Song Dynasty because he had 100,000 men with armor from the Kwantung Samurai Regiment, and because Fujiwara Yoricho was ill at this time, he adopted a forbearant attitude towards Minamoto Yoshito's arrogance and domineering, and appointed him as a full envoy to deal with the matter.

So the Yuan Yi Dynasty gathered an army of 26,000 people in the Western Zhou region, plus 9,000 Kwantung samurai regiments, and prepared to completely annihilate Xiao Ming's Great Song Tiger Guard. The two sides finally entered a state of hostilities, and Xiao Ming was overjoyed about this, and he immediately organized a manpower to carry out an operation, and launched an armed attack on Japan at sea and on the road.

First in the Seto Inland Sea, Xiao Ming annihilated all the Japanese sailors cobbled together by Minamoto Yoshito, burned his 1,000 fishing boats, and then landed on Honshu Island, and the two sides finally launched a fierce battle in the territory of the vassal state of Iga, and the frontal battlefield was faced by Xiao Ming, while Wu Song led two battalions of troops to start a strategy of large-scale interspersed and roundabout operations.

After Wu Song eliminated the opponent's grain supply forces, when he arrived at the frontal battlefield, the battle was basically over, and the Japanese were still accustomed to using the tactics of single horse challenge, and after fifteen generals were killed one after another, no one dared to step forward, and Xiao Ming commanded the Tiger Guards to press up.

In the face of artillery fire and rifles, the Shinto spirit of the Kwantung samurai collapsed again, and in the face of the unilateral slaughter of the Great Song Tiger Guard, the army of the Genyi Dynasty finally surrendered, and they seemed to think of the scene when the Japanese attacked Korea to help the Silla Dynasty fight against the Tang Empire, and their 20,000 troops were completely annihilated, so they surrendered completely.

At this time, Fujiwara Yoshicho was seriously ill and died, and his brother Fujiwara Tadamichi took over the power and began to reuse Taira Kiyomori, the son of Taira Nakamori, after learning the news of the defeat of the Genyi Dynasty, the Taira father and son hurriedly sent Xiao Ming a letter and gifts, asking the Great Song Dynasty to take a break from the thunder and anger, and His Majesty the Emperor Shirakawa was willing to make peace with the Chinese emperor and proclaim himself a vassal to China.

The envoy himself was Ping Qingsheng, and he knelt in front of Xiao Ming and didn't dare to come out! Xiao Ming looked at him coldly, Ping Qingsheng is an outstanding generation of young talents in the Ping family, not only has attainments in Sinology and Buddhism, but even speaks fluent Chinese, Xiao Ming feels that he is like that MacArthur at this time!

Xiao Ming suddenly asked Ping Qingsheng a question, he asked Ping Qingsheng if he really wanted to kill Yuan Yichao? Ping Qingsheng was shocked, why did his inner thoughts be known to the Chinese general in front of him, he knew that Xiao Ming had learned all the things about the current imperial court struggle at the end of the Heian period in Japan from various sources during this time.

When Taira Kiyomori returned to Heiankyo, he brought two things, one was Xiao Ming's commitment to eliminate pirates in the whole of Japan and the document of opening the port to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, and the other was the head of the general Genyi Dynasty, these two things, Taira Kiyomori didn't even dare to bring them to the Japanese court, but scooped them to the house first to ask for his father's opinion.

As the minister of Taisei, Taira Nakamori knew very well what this meant, for the Fujiwara clan, he did not want to see either side of the Genji and the Hei clan become bigger, and now he could rely on the strong support of the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't help but be able to defeat the Genji group, and even be able to expel the power of the Fujiwara clan in the imperial court, so it was impossible for him to give up this opportunity.

Soon Xiao Ming will have it

In response, the Japanese not only fully accepted Xiao Ming's request, organized a military force to eliminate the pirates, and opened at least five ports to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, but also asked Xiao Ming to provide them with assistance, mainly in education, medical and military matters.
