Shen Yuqiu looked at Yang Peng's face and said emotionally: "Your Majesty has been working hard for days, and the ministers have seen it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and they only hate that they can't share their worries for Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "You have done a good job. ”

Shen Yu begged: "Your Majesty is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, the safety of the world, and the well-being of the people are all tied to Your Majesty alone." Your Majesty, you must pay attention to rest! ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded.

Shen Yuqiu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the minister took it upon himself to find a local Oiran to sing a little song for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can relax and relax." Yang Peng has been discussing the strategy of entering the army with the generals these days, and he has almost forgotten to sleep and eat, but he does not feel tired, but at this moment, when Shen Yuqiu said this, he couldn't help but feel a little tired, and smiled: "You are quite understanding." Shen Yuqiu heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "The minister will go and call her in." Then he bowed down and retreated.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Yang Peng raised his head, and saw Shen Yuqiu walking in quickly, followed by a graceful woman holding a pipa in her arms, with her head lowered, and the light was not good, she couldn't see her face clearly, and she seemed to be a stunning beauty in the haze.

Shen Yuqiu led the woman to Yang Peng, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, someone is here." ”

Yang Peng snorted and moved his gaze to the woman. Shen Yuqiu was very knowledgeable, and he didn't talk much, so he bowed down and retreated, and only Yang Peng and the woman were left in the study.

The woman hugged the pipa and bowed: "Slave and maid to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" "The voice is glutinous, soft and tactful, and sultry.

Yang Peng glanced at the woman and said, "Don't be polite." The woman said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up, still hanging his head. Yang Peng asked, "What's your name?" The woman said: "The slave's name is Hua Xiangrong." ”

Yang Peng's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Yun wants clothes, flowers want to look, this name is good." Hua Xiangrong was overjoyed, and Weifu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." ”

"Look up." Yang Peng has long heard of this flower Xiangrong, it is said that she is the most famous Oiran after Zhao Xiangxiang, born charming and beautiful, but she has never had the opportunity to meet.

Hua Xiangrong heard Yang Peng's words and slowly raised his head. Under the reflection of the lights, a very delicate and delicate face appeared in front of Yang Peng's eyes, revealing a very charming charm under the backdrop of a neon dress. However, compared to Zhao Xiangxiang, it is still inferior, not that Zhao Xiangxiang is more beautiful than her, but Zhao Xiangxiang is more amorous than her, and she is really delicate and charming. However, although Hua Xiangrong is not as good as Zhao Xiangxiang, she can definitely be called a peerless beauty in ten thousand.

Hua Xiangrong had heard of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to see it, and he had many speculations about this emperor who ruled the world, but when he saw it today, he was still surprised. She didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to be so young, and his temperament was so kind and approachable, when she saw it, she had a good impression in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel stupid.

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Flower girl......" As soon as the words came out, I only felt very awkward, flower girl? Damn, the devil enters the village! After thinking about it, he said, "Miss Rong, you don't have to be restrained, just play and sing your best song." ”

Hua Xiangrong blushed and said yes, then walked to a chair with the pipa in her arms and sat down. After sorting out his thoughts a little, the slender jade fingers plucked the strings, and the dingdong sounded, as if it was heavenly, and then the melodious music rippled, and the red lips of the flower wanted to open lightly, and the moving singing filled the entire study: "The mandarin ducks and amphibious butterflies fly together, and the spring color in the garden is intoxicating." Quietly asked my brother if his daughter was beautiful or not, and if his daughter was beautiful. ……”

Yang Peng was stunned, the track that Hua Xiangrong played and sang turned out to be the "Daughter's Love" he gave to Ye Yu Guanyin that day, he didn't expect this song to spread to the people. I saw that Hua Xiangrong was very emotional, obviously calm in the beautiful atmosphere created by that song, gentle and lingering, fluttering like a fairy. She sang very well, and it seemed to be more beautiful and touching than the original song in her memory, and Yang Peng couldn't help but be quiet. The voices and smiles of the wives were like marquees, and their hearts were filled with infinite tenderness.

The singing gradually fell silent, and the beautiful sound of the pipa gradually faded away. Yang Peng came back to his senses, couldn't help but applaud, and praised: "Good! That's so good! ”

Hua Xiangrong stood up, and Ying Ying bowed: "Your Majesty has won the prize!" ”

Yang Peng asked, "Do you know the origin of this song?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, as far as the slave family knows, this song was composed by Your Majesty, and it was given to Ye Yu Niangniang by Your Majesty."

Yang Peng nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to sing this song." ”

Hua Xiangrong glanced at Yang Peng strangely and said, "This song has already spread in Hangzhou, and it is the favorite song of the sisters today." ”

Yang Peng was a little surprised, smiled and asked, "Do you still sing other songs?" ”

"The songs made by His Majesty will be sung by the slaves."

Yang Peng was very interested and said, "That's great, you can sing it to me." Hua Xiangrong responded, sat back in his seat with the pipa, and continued to play and sing, this time playing and singing "Alluring the Country and the City". Hua Xiangrong played and sang all the way, each song was sung very tactfully, although the details are more or less different from the original song, but it has a charming charm, it seems to be more moving than the original song. Yang Peng was immersed in the beautiful song and unconsciously fell asleep.

Hua Xiangrong saw that Yang Peng seemed to be asleep, so she couldn't help but stop playing and singing, hesitated for a moment, and called softly: "Your Majesty? Yang Peng did not respond. Hua Xiangrong called again, but Yang Peng still didn't respond. Hua Xiangrong was sure that he was asleep, and he was a little overwhelmed, not knowing what to do. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up, put down the pipa and walked gently in front of Yang Peng. At this time, she was only a stone's throw away from the Ming Emperor, and she could clearly see his face and every detail on his cheeks. I saw that although he was not very handsome, he had a very moving manly temperament, his face was angular, his complexion was like bronze, as if he contained infinite power, and he wanted to prostrate at his feet in front of him to get his love.

Hua Xiangrong couldn't help but feel her heart pounding, her delicate face flushed with a touching flush, and an impulse surged in her chest, almost making her unable to control herself.

Just then, footsteps came from the door. Hua Xiangrong was startled, quickly stood up, and stood aside. Immediately, I saw a secret guard come in, and I couldn't help but feel at a loss, and pointed at Yang Peng and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he is asleep." ”

The secret guard stopped, clasped his fists and called, "Your Majesty! ”

Yang Peng woke up in shock. Seeing Hua Xiangrong standing next to him and the secret guard standing below, thinking that he had fallen asleep unconsciously just now, he couldn't help but smile and asked the secret guard, "What's the matter?" The secret guard said: "Commander Wang Rong is here." Yang Peng's heart fluttered and said, "Let her in." The secret guard said yes and retreated.

Hua Xiangrong Weifu said: "Your Majesty has official business, and the slave family has retired." Yang Peng nodded. Hua Xiangrong saluted Yang Peng again, returned to his seat, picked up his pipa, and hurried away. Outside the hall, Hua Xiangrong and Wang Rong passed by, and the two girls were surprised by each other's beauty.

Hua Xiangrong came out of the gate of the palace, and Shen Yuqiu, who had been waiting in the carriage outside, saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Miss Hua! Hua Xiangrong followed the prestige and saw Shen Yuqiu getting down from the carriage, so he greeted him, and Ying Ying bowed: "My lord! Shen Yuqiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, don't be polite!" In the future, maybe this official should salute Miss Hua! Hua Xiangrong's face was slightly red, and her heart couldn't help but yearn for it. However, when he thought of his lowly status, his desire couldn't help but cold, and he couldn't help but say: "How dare a slave have such a delusion!" ”

Shen Yuqiu smiled: "You can't say that. Miss Hua is naturally beautiful, she shouldn't be dusty, and the famous flower must be worthy of the king, so she can get it! Like Zhao Niangniang, isn't her previous identity the same as Miss Hua? Since Zhao Niangniang can enter the harem, Miss Hua can naturally do it. Hua Xiangrong heard this, and her heart couldn't help but ignite hope.

Shen Yuqiu smiled and said, "I heard it outside just now, Miss Hua has played and sung so many songs made by His Majesty for His Majesty. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, he won't let you play and sing. ”

Hua Xiangrong's heart was overjoyed, and then her heart moved, and she bowed to Shen Yu and asked for Yingying, and said: "If the adult can help Xiangrong get what he wants, Xiangrong will definitely remember the kindness of the adult!" Shen Yuqiu replied: "In this matter, this official should only do his best!" I only hope that after the matter is completed, Miss Hua will never forget her own official! Hua Xiangrong immediately swore an oath. Shen Yuqiu was very happy, so he said to Hua Xiangrong: "We have to discuss this matter carefully." This is the first one, Miss Hua will be closed from now on! Hua Xiangrong hurriedly nodded and said, "This is natural." ”

Wang Rong came to the study and saw Yang Peng, and the two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel moved. Yang Peng retreated, stood up, walked in front of Wang Rong, held Wang Rong's slender hand, naturally kissed her red lips, and sighed; "It's been a long time since we've seen each other!" Wang Rong glanced at Yang Peng resentfully, "I think about you day and night, you definitely won't think about me, there are so many beautiful wives and concubines around you, I'm afraid that I have long forgotten about me!" ”

Yang Peng said softly: "You have wronged me, I want to think about you at least once a day, sometimes I have a headache when I think about it!" Wang Rong was very happy and said angrily: "I don't believe it, I'll talk nonsense!" Yang Peng sighed, revealing a sad look, "Rong'er, you don't believe me, I'm so sad!" ”

When Wang Rong saw Yang Peng like this, she was so distressed that she hurriedly said, "People are just joking with you!" Really, the dignified Emperor Ming can't afford to joke! ”

Yang Peng grinned and said, "I'm also joking with you!" Wang Rong was very annoyed when she saw that she had been fooled, and couldn't help but punch Yang Peng in the chest, and said angrily: "I actually fell for you again!" You're so hateful, always teasing me! Then he said angrily: "I'm so stupid, I saw that shameless woman going out of you, and I was actually deceived by you!" Yang Peng asked, "Do you know who that woman was just now?" ”

Wang Rong snorted, "I don't know her, but I know it with my toes, such a coquettish woman is definitely not a serious person, it must be the Qinglou woman that the local officials found to slap you." ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Do you look down on the Qinglou woman?" Wang Rong was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said: "I actually don't look down on the women in the Qinglou, and the women in the Qinglou are all poor people," and then glanced at Yang Peng, raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "But if she comes to provoke my man, I can't be angry!" ……”

Yang Peng suddenly kissed Wang Rong's red lips, and Wang Rong's anger disappeared immediately, only to feel as if there was a fire burning herself, and she almost wanted to melt it with Yang Peng! Wang Rong couldn't help hugging Yang Peng tightly and kissing him passionately, Yang Peng only felt that the other party was like a wild sea, about to drown himself. Yang Peng couldn't control himself anymore, and his infinite impulse burst out, picked up Wang Rong, and walked behind the screen. While walking, the two kissed passionately, Wang Rong ripped off Yang Peng's clothes wildly, and Yang Peng rudely tore Wang Rong's clothes. Coming to the back of the screen, Yang Peng put Wang Rong on the bed heavily. Just as he was about to press down, Wang Rong suddenly hugged him, Yang Peng changed from the upper position to the lower position, seeing Wang Rong sitting on top of his body, his beautiful eyes were burning with infinite desire, Yang Peng only felt that he was about to melt, and couldn't help but call: "Come on!" Come on! ……”……

The Ming army is preparing for the expedition, time is passing quickly in a tense atmosphere, this expedition to the sea is not an easy thing, there are still many things to do. Information about the Japanese people is constantly coming, and Yang Peng and the others will continue to adjust their deployment according to new information.

By mid-February, everything was ready, the army swore to march, Yang Peng led Liu Zhiliang's 30,000 elites and Wang Rong's army to leave Hangzhou, and thousands of sails rushed towards Kyushu Island.

The alarm reached Kumamoto, the headquarters of Kyushu, and Yuhito immediately dispatched troops to prepare for battle. At present, Yongren has a total of 200,000 troops under his command, and he ordered Zuomuro Nario to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to defend the outer islands, and the other 100,000 to defend the main islands. Yongren judged that the Ming army would attack the outer islands first, so the focus of defense was on the outer islands, and he planned that once a certain island was attacked, he would use the army of the island to rescue and attack inside and outside, even if he could not defeat the Ming army, he would not succeed in the attack of the Ming army. Yongren was well arranged, and he couldn't help but hope that the Ming Army would come soon! He longed to be able to defeat the Ming army in this battle and lay a solid foundation for the true rise of the Yamato nation!

Nario Samuro led an army of 100,000 to defend the outlying islands, and Nario Samuro's headquarters was located on Yakushima Island. Yakushima Island is located in the sea dozens of miles south of the main island of Kyushu, and is the largest island in the Osumi Islands along with Tanegashima Island, Yakushima Island is located in the west, and Tanegashima Island is located in the east, and the sea area between the Osumi Islands and the main island of Kyushu is the so-called Osumi Strait. Yongren judged that if the Ming army wanted to attack Kyushu, it should first attack the Osumi Islands, so he ordered the general Zuo Muro Chengxiong to lead 80,000 horses out of 100,000 troops to garrison here, including the most elite Six Dao Army under Zuo Muro Naruo, and also arranged a large number of artillery, ready to give the Ming army a head-on attack. Now that all the fishermen around the Osumi Islands have been notified to return to their respective fishing villages, the fishing boats that are still floating on the sea today are all Japanese swatches.

Time passed quickly in a tense atmosphere. Twentieth day after receiving the news that the Ming army had set off, the sentinels on the periphery finally came with an alarm, saying that they had found traces of the Ming fleet, which was coming from south to north. Zuo Chengxiong was sometimes nervous and excited, and immediately gathered the generals, arranged a battle plan, and the Japanese army was waiting for the whole army, vigilant day and night, just waiting for the Ming army to attack.

However, a few days passed, but the Ming army never appeared. Just when the Japanese people were puzzled, news came that the Daming fleet did not come to the Osumi Islands, but bypassed the Osumi Islands from the west and headed directly to the main island of Kyushu.

Zuo Chengxiong was shocked when he received the news, and hurriedly ran to the map, his finger swiped along the marching route of the Ming army, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and said: "Not good!" The Han people must be going to attack Kumamoto Castle directly! When the generals heard this, they all felt incredulous, and Fujita Hiromichi said in disbelief: "Doesn't the Ming army plan to attack the outer islands?" Aren't they afraid that we will cut them off? ”

Zuo Chengxiong frowned and said, "They are not afraid!" They have a powerful navy, and we can't cut off his back at all! We are so pedantic that we just think according to the convention! Turning his head and saying to a senior samurai: "You immediately cross the Osumi Strait, rush back to Kumamoto as fast as possible, and report the movements of the Ming army to His Royal Highness the Prince!" The high-ranking samurai let out a sigh of relief and ran down.

Nario Zuomuro's gaze returned to the map, crumpled tightly.

Yuhito is discussing strategy with several of his staff members in Kumamoto's palace. At this moment, a close warrior rushed in and reported: "Your Highness, Lord Zuo sent someone to deliver urgent military information. Yong Ren turned around and frowned, "The emergency military situation of Zuo Muro Chengxiong? What could it be? He glanced at the samurai and said, "Let him in." The samurai ran down with a sigh of relief, and then led a dusty samurai in.

As soon as the samurai saw Yongren, he immediately knelt on the ground, knelt down, and said, "The contemptible man has brought an urgent military situation!" The Ming army has appeared, but instead of attacking the Osumi Islands, it bypassed the Osumi Islands from the west and rushed straight towards Kumamoto! ”

Everyone was shocked, and Yong Ren immediately turned to look at the map, his expression was cloudy, and he muttered in disbelief: "Is it possible that they didn't attack the outer islands, but directly attacked Kumamoto?" Aren't they worried about their logistical supply lines? Yong Ren wondered if the information sent by Naruo Zuo was mistaken.

At this moment, a noisy shout came from outside: "Beacon fire, beacon fire ignited!" ”

Yongren was shocked and immediately ran out. Looking in the direction that everyone was pointing out, I saw that beacon fires were burning on the high mountains in the southwest direction and on the other side of the Ariake Sea, and I couldn't help but change my complexion. Kumamoto is located on the eastern shore of the Ariake Sea in the Inland Sea of Honshu, and to the west of the Ariake Sea is the narrow strait formed by the Nagasaki Peninsula and the Oya Peninsula. The Nagasaki Peninsula is to the north, while the Oya Peninsula is to the south, and the closest point between the two is just a dozen li, and it is the natural gateway to Kumamoto and becomes the mouth of the Oya Sea. Not long ago, Yong Ren sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the sea outlet for safety, and also deployed dozens of artillery pieces. Now the beacon fire is coming from two directions at the same time, indicating that the mouth of the Great Arrow Sea is being attacked. At this point, Yong Ren no longer had any doubts about the information sent by Nario Zuo, and the Ming army really bypassed the outer islands and came directly to attack the capital of Kyushu.

Yongren couldn't help but panic a little, and then calmed down, thinking that Daya Haikou was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Ming army must not be able to capture it in the short term. As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but be glad that I was cautious at the beginning, because I was cautious enough at the beginning, so that the enemy could not suddenly appear under Kumamoto Castle at this moment, and I now have time to react.

Yongren thought: 'This may be a great opportunity to annihilate the Ming army. At the thought of this, Yong Ren trembled with excitement, and immediately ordered: "Immediately order all the armies in the south to converge on Oyano Island, and all the armies in the north to converge on the Nagasaki Peninsula, this time we will completely annihilate the enemy army!" Yongren already had a plan in his heart, planning to put the Ming army into the Ariake Sea at the right time, and then block the mouth of the Daya Sea, and the 200,000 army would hold the key points along the coast, so that the Ming army would be in a desperate situation, as long as a period of time passed, without attacking, the enemy army would be trapped and killed. This can be said to be a golden opportunity to destroy the Ming army! Yongren thought again: If the Ming Emperor can be captured in this battle, then from now on the Yamato nation will be able to firmly grasp the initiative!

Yonghito raised his head and looked at the scorching sun on the sky, only to feel that this time it must be Amaterasu who kept himself and gave him such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Immediately, there was a mocking look on his face, and he said sarcastically: "It is said that Emperor Daming is a hero of the world, brave and good at fighting, I think he is a stupid person, and he is so rash of the enemy!" The samurai and staff members next to him laughed, and everyone looked excited.

Yuhito thought about it and ordered Tatsumoto Taro to be summoned and ordered to lead 10,000 samurai and ashigaru to the shore to build a fortress, and gave him fifty cannons. Yuhito planned to wait for the armies to arrive before putting the Ming army into the Ariake Sea, and he estimated that after the Ming army was encircled, it would inevitably attack Kumamoto in a desperate way, so he ordered Taro Ryumoto to lead his army to the shore to build a fortress to strengthen the defense of Kumamoto Castle. Immediately, Yonghito sent another order to send 5,000 samurai and ashigaru from Kumamoto Castle to reinforce the Oyakou Sea. Yong Ren was confident that he would hold the mouth of the Great Arrow Sea for ten days and a half months, after all, the terrain there was dangerous, and there were dozens of artillery pieces, and the reason why he had to send five thousand more soldiers and horses was just to be on the safe side, and he didn't want any surprises in this perfect plan.

At the mouth of the Daya Sea, the Yanyun cruisers lined up in two columns and bombarded the Japanese artillery positions on both sides of the Daya Sea respectively. The cannons rumbled, the shells whistled, the artillery positions of the Japanese people on both sides were in flames, the dust was flying, as if they were boiling, the Japanese people were bombarded to the point of flesh and blood, the wreckage of the fence, the wreckage of the artillery was constantly thrown into the sky, and fell heavily. The Japanese had never encountered such a fierce artillery bombardment, and they were so frightened that their souls scattered and ran in all directions, and as a result, they were wronged one after another in the midst of the artillery fire in the sky.

And the artillery fire of the Japanese people is also constantly changing, but the shells fly halfway and fall into the water one after another, stirring up countless water columns to the sky, the scene is spectacular, but it can not cause any harm to the Ming army at all. What's going on? It turns out that the cannon of the Ming Dynasty has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and now the long-barreled threaded cannon equipped on the cruiser has long been different from what it used to be, not only much more powerful than the previous cannon, but also more than twice the range of the previous cannon. Therefore, the range of the cannons on the cruisers of the Ming Dynasty far exceeded the cannons of the Japanese people, and the cannons of the Ming Dynasty could bombard the Japanese people, while the cannons of the Japanese people could only help the fun, and there was no other use.

Gradually, the Japanese artillery fire fell silent, thinking that either their artillery was damaged by the Ming fire, or their gunners were killed.

The fierce shelling continued for a long time, and then the Ming artillery fire fell silent, and dozens of troop transports landed on the beach on both sides, and more than 1,000 soldiers rushed towards the camp of the Japanese under the leadership of the generals.

Before the Japanese soldiers could recover from the shock of the heavy artillery fire, someone suddenly exclaimed: "The enemy has come in!" The enemy is in! The Japanese soldiers were shocked and shocked to see the wolf-like Ming army fiercely killing in. Several high-ranking samurai immediately drew their katana swords and raised them high and shouted. The hearts of the samurai and Ashigaru suddenly swelled with desperate thoughts, and they shouted violently and rushed up.

The soldiers of the two sides slammed into each other, Yan Yunjun brandished a long knife and a big axe, and the corpses of the Japanese people were bloody. Needless to say, those poorly armored ashigaru naturally slashed and slashed, and then they were torn apart and flesh and blood flew sideways, even the samurai in samurai armor had no resistance in the face of the fierce long knives and axes, and they died tragically, and all kinds of screams came and went; The samurai and ashigaru attacks were of little use to the fully defended Yanyun army, the katana slashed at the heavy armor but splashed some sparks with a sonorous sound, and the spear pierced the shield and was immediately slid away by the shield. The battlefield was almost a one-sided slaughter, with the samurai lying in pools of blood one by one, and the ashigaru being harvested piece by piece, flesh and blood flying and corpses strewn everywhere.

The Japanese were frightened, and the frenzied fighting spirit quickly disappeared like the lights under a rainstorm. Ashigaru turned around and fled, and the samurai also turned and fled, and in an instant, the wolf rushed and collapsed completely. The Ming army ruthlessly pursued and killed, and the camp of the Japanese people was completely turned into a slaughterhouse. The sound of slashing and slashing gradually died down, and the screams gradually died down, and the battle was over. In half a day, in just half a day, the Japanese people guarding the mouth of the Great Arrow Sea were completely annihilated.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
