The sea finally fell silent, and the Japanese naval army was completely defeated, except for a few Japanese warships that escaped by chance, the rest were wiped out in one fell swoop. Countless corpses and warship wrecks float on the surface of the sea, and the seabirds and sharks around here must have enjoyed a feast for a long time.

Wang Rong stood on the flagship Delhi lookout, looking at the scene in front of her, and only felt that she had finally avenged the transport fleet that had been killed earlier.

A clipper boat approached the flagship, and an officer climbed up along the rope ladder and ran to Wang Rong to report; "The Grand Commander, the commander of the enemy army, Shigehiro Shimazu, has fled."

Wang Rong frowned, and then sneered: "A commander who can only flee for his life is useless. ”

Yong Ren walked in the garden of the palace, smiling like a flower, and seemed to be in a very good mood. It's no wonder that he has always received good news recently, which makes him see the hope of turning defeat into victory, and with a beautiful woman by his side, he is naturally in a particularly good mood. The beautiful woman beside him, with a charming face and a graceful body, is full of foxy and seductive charm between words and smiles, and is exactly the Yuzao front who is called the enchantress by the entire Wa country. This Tamamo was originally Taira Kiyomori's favorite pet, and after the defeat of Ping Kiyomori, as a close confidant of Ping Kiyomori, she was originally going to be executed, but Yongren was deeply obsessed after seeing her, and not only spared her life, but also made her his own concubine. For a long time, Yong Ren indulged in the ten thousand customs in front of Tamamo and almost abandoned state affairs. If it weren't for the alarm from the Ming side, Yongren would probably still be living a beautiful life of 'the king will not be early from now on'.

Yongren walked to a few cherry blossoms in full bloom with the slender hand in front of Tamamo, looked at the flowers in the sky, and couldn't help but say, "When this battle is over, I will accompany Aiji day and night!" Tamamo smiled. When Yongren saw it, he couldn't help but be fascinated, held a pair of slender hands in front of Yuzao, and said obsessively: "Ai Ji is really a peerless beauty of the country!" The legendary Xi Shi Diao Chan of the Han people will certainly not be able to compare with Ai Ji! ”

Tamamo smiled; "Your Highness has won the prize." Then he sighed and said with a happy face: "The greatest luck of the courtier's concubine is to become the concubine of His Royal Highness." The courtiers always thanked Amaterasu for being able to give the courtiers such good luck and to meet His Highness. Tamamo said very sincerely, which made people feel moved.

Yongren was excited, and said: "When this battle is over, I will canonize you Aiji as my concubine!" In the future, I will inherit the throne of the emperor, and you will be my queen! ”

Tamamo looked at Yong Ren gratefully and said gently, "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this. With the past of the minister, I really can't be a concubine! That would be detrimental to His Highness's reputation! Chen Ji would rather die than have His Royal Highness's reputation damaged! In fact, as long as the courtiers can accompany His Highness all the time, they will be satisfied! Tamamo's expression was faint and his tone lingered, I am afraid that no matter how heroic a man is, he will be unable to help himself in the face of such a woman. Yongren only felt that he could not live up to this woman who was deeply affectionate to him, and said impulsively: "No! I've decided! You are my concubine! Tamamo sighed faintly, as if full of gratitude and worry. When Yongren heard this, he only felt that he could not live up to her, and he had no other thoughts at all, and at this moment, Yongren was probably willing to do anything for Tamamo, not to mention just canonizing her as a concubine.

Just when the two of them were swearing an alliance under the cherry blossoms, Ohno Chi hurriedly rushed over and said anxiously: "Your Highness, no, it's not good!" ”

Seeing that such a perfect atmosphere was disturbed, Yong Ren was very unhappy in his heart, and turned his head to Ono Chi and said unhappily, "What's wrong?" ”

Ohno said urgently: "I just received a report that Shimazu Shigehao's navy was ambushed by the Daming navy and has been wiped out!" Only a few people such as Shigehiro Shimazu escaped! ”

Yong Ren was stunned for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and he asked angrily, "What did you say?" Shigehiro Shimazu was wiped out? How is this possible, didn't he just annihilate one of the enemy's transport fleets? ”

Ohno Tomoto: "Not long ago, Shigehiro Shimazu led his army to attack the newly arrived Daming transport fleet, but this time the transport fleet was a trap. They lured Shigehiro Shimazu into an ambush circle that had been prepared long ago, and was besieged by the enemy on all sides, and as a result, the whole army was annihilated! ”

Yongren was speechless for a long time, his heart was annoyed and frightened, he didn't expect that the little water army he had wasted a lot of effort to rebuild would be defeated like this, and he now had the heart to kill Shimazu Shigehao. And standing in front of the tamamo behind the employee, he looked as usual, and his extremely seductive eyes seemed to flash the taste of schadenfreude.

At this moment, Yuan Yijing hurried over again and reported: "Your Highness, I just received news that all the people in the south who originally served us have defected!" They all took the side of the Ming Dynasty and helped the Ming Dynasty attack the local daimyo, and many of the daimyo's families were destroyed! ”

Yong Ren was shocked and screamed and asked, "This is impossible?" How did it suddenly become like this? ”

Yuan Yoshijing said with a hateful face: The Ming people first sent troops to capture the daimyo from all over the country, and then robbed them of their land and contracts, and distributed the looted land to the local untouchables for free! When the local untouchables got the land, they no longer opposed the Ming army, but helped them! After hearing that the untouchables in some places got the news, they gathered together to attack the local daimyo without waiting for the Ming army to arrive, killed the daimyō, robbed the property and land deeds, and then surrendered to the Ming Dynasty! Brother Yu, the situation in the entire south is completely out of control! Those untouchables don't know what loyalty is! ”

Yong Ren was extremely angry and shouted fiercely, "Traitor! All traitors! I'm going to put them all to death!" Everyone was silent, only thinking that if they couldn't defeat the Ming army, how could they execute those untouchables.

Yong Ren was very irritable, and Minamoto Yoshitsune and Ono Tomoto retreated.

Yongren looked at Tamamo, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart, stepped forward and shook Tamamo's slender hand, and said, "I really want to leave this troublesome world with you!" Go to a carefree place and live a carefree life! Yuzao smiled softly and said, "Your Highness is Your Highness in the Land of the Rising Sun, I'm afraid I won't be able to live such a life in this life!" Yongren was very depressed, he just felt that it was too tiring to fight against the Ming army, and he was tired, and what made him most depressed and uncomfortable was that he worked so hard and paid so much effort, and he couldn't defeat the opponent, and he was almost discouraged. I couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "Why are those Han people different from what I remember!" These people are so fierce and strong, it really makes me hard to believe that they are the Han people I remember! ”

Yuzao thought that Yongren was talking about the Han people in the Song Dynasty, and thought: "In the past, the Han people ruled the country with Confucianism, advocated cultural governance, and suppressed martial arts, so they naturally seemed very cowardly. Now it is different, the Ming Emperor deposed Confucianism and took soldiers and legalists as the way to govern the country, and his natural appearance has changed. In fact, the Han people have never been cowardly, and it is only their literati rulers who are cowardly. Just give them a chance, and they'll be fiercer than anyone else! After a pause, "I often wonder why Confucianism appeared in the Central Plains. Perhaps it is because the Han people are so fierce that they will naturally produce this kind of thinking to restrain this shortcoming! ”

Yong Ren smiled bitterly; "Is this also called a disadvantage?" Tamamo didn't know how to answer this question.

Yong Ren only felt very tired, and drowsiness couldn't help but come up. Seeing this, Tamamo immediately helped Yongren into the bedroom and served him to sleep. Then he left.

Tamamo thought of something before and came to the front hall and found Gen Yoshitsune, who was dealing with various official documents on behalf of Yuhito.

"The Book of Righteousness." Tamamo called in front of him.

Yuan Yijing raised his head and saw the enchanting and seductive Yuzao, and couldn't help but panic, looking helpless.

Tamamo was used to seeing a man's flustered virtue in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. His expression did not move, but he still smiled with a smile on his face, and said, "There is something I want to ask you." ”

Yuan Yijing hurriedly said: "Please, please speak." ”

Yuzao frowned slightly and said, "I heard that the Ming Army is very terrifying, is this true?" ”

When Yuan Yijing heard this, he couldn't help but recall the scene of being ambushed by the Ming army before, and his face showed a panicked look, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes! They're terrible! They are simply not humans, but the demon army used by the eight-pronged serpent to destroy the world! I had never seen, or even imagined, such a terrible army, wielding broadswords and battle axes to move forward, trampling corpses and slashing fiercely! They have no mercy and no fear, they are simply terrifying creatures made for war! I thought our samurai were the toughest warriors in the world, but after that night I realized that our samurai were so vulnerable in front of them! ”

Although Yuzao had heard the legend of the Ming Army more than once, he still couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard Yuan Yijing, a person who had fought with Yan Yunjun, talk about the Ming Army.

Yuzao was silent for a moment, and then asked, "I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is also here?" ”

Gen Yoshijing nodded.

Tamamo hurriedly asked, "Have you seen him?" What kind of person is he? ”

Yuan Yijing shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him." Suddenly remembering something, he continued: "But the Ninomiya Katsuto of the Ninomiya family has seen him. I heard that at that time, Ninomiya Katsuto led 3,000 elites to Kumamoto to challenge, and Emperor Yanyun rode out alone. ……”

Tamamo was surprised, "What did you say?" Emperor Yanyun dared to ride alone to face the three thousand elites led by the second palace Katsuto? Gen Yoshijing nodded. Tamamo asked with great interest, "Are they at war?" ”

Yuan Yijing nodded, with a solemn look on his face, and said, "Ergong Shengren is too arrogant, and he dares to fight Emperor Yanyun alone. I heard that in less than three rounds, Ninomiya Katsuto was knocked off the horse......" Tamamo was taken aback, and said: "It is said that Ninomiya Katsuto is a swordsman second only to Honda Tadashi and others, even if Honda Tadashi and others want to defeat him, they have to make a hundred moves!" How could someone kill him in three rounds! ”

Gen Yoshijing said: "That's what I got the news. Ninomiya Katsuto didn't die, but was shot down the war horse, and I heard that just when Ninomiya Katsuto was about to be killed by the Ming Emperor, more than a dozen high-ranking samurai rushed to the rescue. In a big battle between the two sides, the Ming Emperor beheaded five high-ranking warriors in a row, and one person faced more than a dozen people, and he actually had the upper hand! And at this time, the elite of the Ming Dynasty went out of the city to attack, and the two sides fought a big battle, and finally ended in a fiasco in the second palace victory! ”

Yuzao thought before thinking: "So this Ming Emperor is a great hero who is amazing and powerful in the world!" Yuan Yijing smiled bitterly: "For us, I'm afraid it's just a big demon!" Alas, we didn't expect to encounter such a terrible opponent! If you had known that the enemy was so strong, you would not have been able to make an enemy of them! Then he said worriedly: "I heard that the Ming Emperor has destroyed many powerful countries such as Western Xia, Tubo, Dali, Bagan, etc., I hope that our Sunrise Country will not be the next one!" ”

Tamamo sighed and muttered, "Everything has its fate, which is predestined from the beginning, and the country is no exception. If the kingdom of the rising sun is destined to perish, it is not something that anyone can change! After a pause, "Now it seems that whether the country of the rising sun can survive depends entirely on the Ming side!" Yuan Yijing couldn't help but nodded.

Tamamo thought about it as he moved to the back. When he saw Tomoshi Ohno coming out of Yuhito's bedroom, he stopped. Ono came to Tamamo, bowed, and prepared to leave. Tamamo said, "What did His Highness tell you?" Ohno said: "Your Highness orders me to immediately order the sailors pretending to be pirates in the south to withdraw immediately!" He bowed in front of Tamamo and hurried away.

Tamamo walked to the door of the dormitory, only to see that Yong Ren had already sat up, looking up at the window, his face was changing, sometimes with a look of panic and anxiety, and sometimes with a crazy and fierce look. Tamamo frowned, didn't go in, and left gently.

The atmosphere in Fukuoka has become increasingly unsettling for Yuhito, and since the news of the killing of the daimyo by civilians in various parts of the country under the control of the Ming Dynasty has come out, the atmosphere in Fukuoka has become a little strange. Yongren and the others only felt that the civilians in the city seemed to show unkind expressions. Yuhito was very anxious, and sometimes he wanted to abandon Fukuoka, and sometimes he wanted to kill all the civilians in the city.

However, at this time, the 10,000 Rokudo Army and 30,000 samurai Ashigaru finally arrived. The restless mood of Yongjin and the others was swept away, and the unsettling atmosphere in the city magically disappeared without a trace. Yongren and the others saw that those civilians had become obedient and humble citizens again. Yuhito regained his confidence and decided to continue with his original plan and defend Fukuoka Castle.

In Kumamoto in the south, Yang Peng decided to carry out the attack plan that had been shelved before, and the main force of 30,000 was divided into two teams, one team of 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Yang Peng to attack Fukuoka to the north, and the other team of 20,000 soldiers and horses was led by Liu Zhiliang to attack Saeki in the east, and the two troops and horses attacked at the same time, Yang Peng hoped to solve the Kyushu problem in one fell swoop.

An army of 30,000 marched out of Kumamoto and divided into two teams to attack Fukuoka and Saeki respectively. At the same time, local civilians have been organized to repair roads and build bridges before the army. These civilians of the Wa Kingdom are full of energy, because their current net worth and life are firmly tied to the Ming army, they know that only the Ming army wins, they can keep all this that they have now, on the contrary, if the Ming army loses, those who were previously plundered of the land and wealth of the daimyo and their relatives, will definitely come back to take revenge frantically, at that time, not only the land and wealth that have been obtained can not be saved, but they are afraid that their own small life will also be lost in an instant. These civilians have subconsciously regarded themselves as Ming people.

Yang Peng led 10,000 soldiers and horses all the way north, passing through the city and village, looking at the wind and surrendering, the Japanese civilians from all over the country rose up to rebel, rushed into the daimyo's house to loot, and then surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

In the evening of that day, the army reached Kurume, a few dozen miles south of Fukuoka. Yang Peng had recently learned from the civilians nearby that Kurume had only 1,000 militiamen temporarily recruited by the Saga Daimyo and 500 garrisons sent by Yuhito, so as soon as the army arrived in Kurume, he launched a fierce attack.

Saga Daimyo led 1,500 men to resist in peacetime, but how they were the opponents of Yang Peng's tiger and wolf, in an instant, they suffered heavy casualties, and the city was in danger. At this moment, there was a sudden huge commotion in the city, and Yang Peng saw outside the city that the defenders who had been unable to resist were completely panicked, and they fled for their lives. Immediately afterwards, I saw the city gate suddenly open, and many civilians in ragged clothes rushed out of the city gate with various agricultural tools as weapons, shouting and shouting at this side.

Yang Peng smiled, waved his hand, and the army immediately poured into the city. The whole city fell into an unprecedented panic, the daimyo and a small part of the civilians were terrified, and most of the civilians in the city became extremely brutal murderers, breaking into the homes of the daimyo and the rich, looting and killing, all kinds of evil, the originally beautiful city was full of fire, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the terrible screams and hysterical laughter of the civilians made people's scalps tingle. Yang Peng naturally didn't care about this kind of thing, but just led the army straight towards the city office. When Yang Peng arrived at the office, the office was already empty. Yang Peng ordered the army to rest on the spot. An officer came and asked, "Your Majesty, those Japanese civilians have gone too far, should we stop them?" ”

Yang Peng said: "This is their own business, let's not interfere." "Yes."

Yang Peng stood at the gate, looking at the entire Kurume, only to see that there were crazy and raging figures everywhere in the firelight, with a mocking smile on his face.

There was a noise of footsteps on the street, and Yang Peng and the others followed the reputation, only to see hundreds of civilians rushing in chaos. The captain of the secret guard immediately waved his hand, and immediately more than a hundred secret guards rushed over, blocking in front of everyone.

The civilians stopped, fell to their knees, and bowed. Immediately, an old man who seemed to be the leader raised his head and muttered something in his mouth. The translator immediately translated: "He said that they are here to meet and thank General Daming!" They also have a gift to give to the great general of the Ming Dynasty! ”

When Yang Peng heard that the other party had brought a gift, he couldn't help but be interested, and walked out of the protective circle of the secret guards and came to the civilians. When all the civilians saw the man who looked like a great general coming, they couldn't help but get nervous, and then they all showed extremely humble expressions. Yang Peng asked, "What gifts did you bring?" The translator translated immediately.

The old man hurriedly muttered a few words behind him. I saw a few Japanese civilians dragging out a woman in a kimono, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful body. The old man showed a servile face and muttered a word. The interpreter said: "He said that this beauty is the most beautiful woman in Kurume and even in the whole of Kyushu, and he specially brought it to the general, please accept it with a smile!" ”

Yang Peng glanced at the woman, and saw that although she was very scared, her eyes showed great hatred. Yang Peng smiled and said to those Japanese civilians: "I accepted your gifts. The translator translated immediately. When all the civilians heard this, they looked overjoyed and thanked them one after another. Thanks for what? Thank each other for ruining their own compatriots?

Yang Peng asked the woman to take to the public office, and then asked the old man who was the leader: "What is your name, is it their leader?" "The translator translated. The old man hurriedly muttered something. The interpreter said: "He said that the local civilians elected him as the leader, and his name is Tsuyo Sasaki." Yang Peng looked at the minion face in front of him and said, "I'm very happy that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light." From today onwards, you will be the governor of Kurume. Yang Peng didn't say a word, the translator translated, Yang Peng finished speaking, and the translator finished translating.

Tsuyo Sasaki was pleasantly surprised when he heard that the other party had made him the prefect of Kurume, and hurriedly thanked him, while the other civilians looked at Tsuyo Sasaki with envy.

Yang Peng looked at the city that was still in chaos, and said to Tsuyo Sasaki: "I will send someone to be your deputy, he will tell you what a Ming official should do, if you don't understand anything, you can also ask him." The translator translated these words, and Tsuyo Sasaki exclaimed. Yang Peng ordered a secret guard to be Tsuyo Sasaki's deputy, and then let them go down.

Yang Peng returned to the office and came to the back study. I saw that the beautiful woman was sitting there with a restless expression, and when she saw herself enter, her expression immediately became nervous and hostile. Seeing the other party walking towards her, the Japanese beauty was terrified, and subconsciously retreated, not stopping until she hit the wall, her eyes looking at Yang Peng with great trepidation and hatred.

Yang Peng smiled, walked to the bookcase, sat on the bookcase, glanced at the other party, and asked, "Do you know Chinese?" The Japanese beauty frowned, but did not say anything.

Yang Peng smiled: "Can't speak, is it possible to be a mute?" The beautiful woman showed anger and shouted, "You are dumb!" "It turned out to be Chinese. Yang Peng laughed, "It's not a dumb person." You speak Chinese well. ”

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