With the arrival of the third main army, the Ming army numbered nearly 280,000 troops on the main island of the Wa Kingdom, and with the abundant human resources, they began to sweep away the local resistance forces.

The ranks of the Ming army were based on sentinels, and part of the land in the former Gounu country, because it was initially taken away by the shogunate and finally recovered by the Ming army, also became the object of the inventory, and all the forces that had dealings with the shogunate had to be cleared.

In addition to the cleaning operation in the rear, the front did not breathe a sigh of relief, and always maintained pressure on the shogunate side to not let the other side relax.

In fact, Zhu Di did not interfere too much in this war, Zhu Neng was in charge of the front line, Zhang Fu was in charge of the central government, and then a group of outstanding generals such as Zhao An, as well as a steady stream of supplies from the imperial court and the response of officials.

Compared with his father Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di has a good advantage, and his relationship with his subordinates is good.

Zhu Neng did not worry about arousing the suspicion of the monarch because of his recent merits.

"According to the information I received, Ashikaga Yoshitsugu of the shogunate has led his army south to join his brother, and he has about eighty or ninety thousand troops in his hands.

Inside the military tent.

Dozens of generals held a meeting around Yutu, and there were documents on the side to record the movements of the meeting, including the generals' remarks and thoughts on the meeting.

"It just so happens that the armies below are also about the same, and there is no problem with the supply of materials, and the headquarters will think that a new attack can be launched, with the goal of completely destroying the shogunate."

Zhao An arched his hand and put forward his own ideas.

Most of the generals supported Zhao An, because the current situation was in their favor, Zhu Neng did not veto this plan because of Zhao An, and agreed to the decision of the army to attack for the sake of the overall situation.

The emissaries of the shogunate sent wave after wave, and the Ming Emperor had only one request, the shogunate surrendered to him, and everything else was not to be discussed.

There was no room for this, and the shogunate had no choice but to resist.

The route of the Ming army's attack was divided into three routes and one sea.

All the way from Tanabe Castle, it is counted as the Northern Route Army; All the way from Bashang City, it is counted as the Chinese army; All the way from Osaka Castle, it is counted as the Southern Route Army; There is also a navy along the coastline that echoes with the Southern Route Army, and goes hand in hand.

There is not much on the main island of Wakoku, but there are many cities.

Historically, it was not until the Edo Shogunate period that the daimyos, who were unable to disobey the shogunate, were able to dismantle the fortifications in each area under the shogunate's decree of one country and one city.

Now the war on the island of the Japanese country has been in turmoil for many years, pirates are frequent, and the stomping forts around the country are even more innumerable, fortunately, the Ming army is not short of gunpowder, in front of the artillery of the Ming army, these small stomping forts can not survive a few rounds of shelling.

With each delay, the speed of this attack was much slower than the last one, and there was no longer a good thing to do in a few cities a day, but the Ming army also completely wiped out those who resolutely resisted.

"Bang bang."

A group of riders arrived at Rotten Wood City.

The Rotten Wood Castle is not a castle built of rotten wood, but the lord of the castle is the Rotten Wood clan, which had this surname in ancient times, but it was not in later generations, so this castle is called Rotten Wood Castle.

If the name is taken strictly according to the division of China, it should not be called Rotten Wood City, but should be called Rotten Wood Castle.

The cities in Chinese mainland have long lost their military role, to be precise, they have lost their military defense capabilities in order to increase their living capacity, but in border areas or military important places and other places, you can see military cities or military forts focusing on military defense.

The Rotten Wood Castle, which the Japanese people themselves called, actually belonged to a fortress, built on a small hillside, and under the hillside was a village, where the people lived, and the road to the Rotten Wood City was only a road around the mountain.

The defenders were able to shoot enemies in the road from a high position on the walls, taking advantage of the geographical advantage.

As for whether the people of the village under the mountain will be bullied by the enemy, it depends on what kind of mentality the enemy adopts, if they come with the purpose of annexing the land, then they will restrain the samurai in their hands, and if they come for revenge, then this will not restrain the samurai in their hands.

It is clear that the local area has been prepared.

The smoke of the Ming army has reached them, and the local people have fled, hidden, and there are only some lonely old people left in the village.

Zhu Zhanyong rode on horseback, took out a kettle and drank a piece of water, then put it back in the bag of the saddle, and looked at the surrounding scenery.

"Go and tell the lord of the city here to open the door to greet the court."

Zheng Yu led the people to find a few women and children, and asked the interpreter to communicate with those old women, ten miles of different sounds, of course, the same is true of the Wa Kingdom, but the interpreter specializes in this line of work, knows how to deal with these people, and slowly confides in the words while gesturing, and the old women understand.

Waiting for a few old women to tremble up the mountain, looking at their figures, Zhu Zhanyong asked curiously: "Do you think that the city lord here will open the door to welcome me?" ”

Zheng Yu was not confident and hesitated, Wu Zhongming replied directly: "Probably won't pay attention to us." ”

"Why?"

"The movement of the people here shows that the city is ready to hold on." Wu Zhongming speculated.

"yes."

Zhu Zhanyong suddenly realized.

Zheng Yu was also annoyed, why didn't he think of this section, and his reaction was a beat slower.

So everyone waited patiently for the result, but naturally no one paid attention to it.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanyong was not angry, they were originally exploring the way, understanding which ones were determined to resist the Ming Dynasty, and which ones were ready to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to send themselves to participate, but the imperial grandfather promised himself, and the army could only support it.

A whole few hundred elite horsemen are used to explore the road, which is really a bit wasteful, and this can already start a small-scale war.

"Let's go back."

Zhu Zhanyong said indifferently.

The next time the infantry came with artillery, and their cavalry explored the road ahead for the infantry, and the cities were marked with two colors, one of which required the base camp to send cannons, and the other was attached.

Wu Zhongming and the others, who were accustomed to Zhu Zhanyong's style, didn't care, and hundreds of elite riders didn't do anything, and then just left.

The guards of the Rotten Wood City in the rear stared in disbelief at the smoke and dust left behind.

Zhu Zhanyong has an advantage, he can listen to persuasion and don't do much, and he won't do it if he doesn't let him do it, which is also one of the reasons why his uncle dared to let him run around on the front line.

A few days passed.

Two or three thousand more Ming troops came, and the cannons were placed under the hillside, and soon the shelling began, and the defenders did not even have a way to return fire, so they could only be beaten passively and break themselves without attacking.

——

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

Kyoto.

Palace.

A coughing sound came out, Zhu Di showed a helpless look, coughing one after another, this inconspicuous guy on weekdays, when he was endless, it could make people miserable.

The scenery in the palace has been rearranged by the people, and the Daming Bureau has been repairing it for half a month, trying to make the emperor more comfortable.

Zhu Di read some local books and books, and soon lost interest.

"If you stop everything and don't let anyone eat it, aren't you afraid of their displeasure?" Zhu Di asked curiously.

Han Qi was shocked when he heard His Majesty the Emperor's inquiry.

"The ministers don't dare."

Han Qi hurriedly explained: "Compared with the private commercial banks, the Daming Industry Bureau is very weak, and the competition with them is naturally unequal, which is very unfair. ”

Hearing Han Qi's reply, Zhu Di was noncommittal.

The son has promoted the industrial society all his life, and he can't understand it after watching it for decades.

However, no matter how the interests change, the relationship of interests still exists, and it is not just a few sets of left hand for right hand and right hand for left hand, but only the productive forces are more developed.

It's like the war of such a scale in the Ming Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom, if it weren't for the development of the productive forces, the monarch in the Shengming would not have been able to do it on such a scale before.

"In the past, when you ate meat, they drank soup, but now you don't even give them soup, don't you force them to rebel against you?" Zhu Di said with a smile.

He didn't believe that the boss in the capital didn't know, since the boss knew but didn't make a move, then he wouldn't make a move, so everything should be done according to the boss's wishes.

How long can you live when you are old.

Everything we are doing at the moment, in addition to our old Zhu family, also wants to save more blessings and heritage for the world.

The richest land in the world is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, all the countries in the world are vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and the clan system has also been established.

Han Qi didn't know the emperor's intentions, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

As the "young" shopkeeper of the Daming Industry Bureau, Han Qi is even considered to be the third big shopkeeper of the Daming Industry Bureau, the only one who can compete is Gao Changfang, Gao Changfang's qualifications and prestige are higher than Han Qi, but Gao Changfang is too old, and he himself is probably embarrassed to fight.

The layout of the Daming Industry Bureau in the Waguo was personally supervised by Han Qi, which is also a proof.

Han Qi also has his own difficulties.

Over the years, the Daming Industrial Bureau has clearly occupied the absolute right to speak, but it has continued to shrink its business in many aspects, and even affected the core business industry, which has caused huge internal dissatisfaction.

The accusations against Gao Zhen's shopkeeper have become more and more obvious, and many people believe that no more concessions should be made.

What is boldness.

Many people in the Daming Bureau think that they represent the imperial court, that is, they represent the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Han Qi wants to monopolize the interests of the Japanese state this time, and no longer let go of private commercial banks, in addition to internal voices, there is also the problem of the long-term interest planning of the Daming Industry Bureau.

If it is really a monopoly on the interests of the Japanese state, coupled with Goryeo, which is catching up with and surpassing the private trading houses, and the development of Nanyang, etc., even if the size of the Ming Industry Bureau does nothing, it can lie on the merits for 30 years.

Han Qi has to do this, both public and private, but these truths can't be explained.

Seeing Han Qi's embarrassed appearance, Zhu Di waved his hand.

"Don't talk about it, I just want to remind you, sometimes, it's too comfortable, it's not good, it's too comfortable, it's wasted, if people are wasted, everything is empty."

Zhu Di mentioned a few words to Han Qi and let him go.

After Zhu Di waited for Han Qi to leave, he lay back on the couch and couldn't help coughing again.

This time the cough was very long, Zhu Gaoxu patted his father's back, the imperial doctors brought the burned medicinal juice, looked at the unpleasant smell of the medicine bowl, Zhu Di closed his breath and drank it in one go.

didn't dare to get angry, slowly lay back, didn't dare to move, and after that strength, Zhu Di was relieved.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was a little distracted.

No matter how much he is the emperor, it is ridiculous that a small cough in the past can make him so afraid of the enemy.

"Dick."

"Father."

Zhu Gaoxu bent over.

Zhu Gaoxu, who is in his forties, is like a small mountain, different from the thinness in most people's impressions, in fact, Zhu Gaochu is very burly, although he is brave but slippery, it can be seen that it is difficult to deal with.

"Do you think the man understood what we meant?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, although he didn't understand why his father cared about this, but he still said truthfully: "Since this person can have the voice of the third generation of the big shopkeeper of the Daming Industry Bureau, it can be seen that he must not be a mediocre person, and he can naturally understand what his father means." ”

"yes."

Zhu Di felt that his chest was full of turbidity, and he wanted to take a long breath, but he was afraid of causing a cough, so he could only reluctantly suppress it, and endured the pain all over his body and said, "Your eldest brother often says that seeing the problem does not mean that it can solve the problem." ”

Seeing his father's discomfort, Zhu Gaoxu was very sad, he wanted to comfort his father, and he would say something later, but his father had always been firm, and Zhu Gaoxu knew that he couldn't persuade him, but he delayed time.

"There are too many problems with the Daming Industry Bureau."

"I see, your eldest brother did not forget to promote private commercial banks from the beginning of the launch of the Daming Industry Bureau, and he was probably prepared, and he may have seen the problem today."

"People are not machines, how can they be foolproof."

"The distribution of social resources is simple to say, but it is even more difficult to do, and if you want to do it just right, how can people do it, and with the size of the Ming Industry Bureau, the cost of negligence on any side is too great."

"Erchen believes that the eldest brother will definitely have his arrangement."

Zhu Gaoxu said seriously.

"It's him, who knows."

Zhu Di nodded first, and then shook his head.

I'm old, it's time to prepare something.

The summer of the twentieth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army completely defeated the shogunate army at Kiso-Fukushima Castle and captured the shogun alive, but the emperor's family unfortunately died in the fire, because the fire was too big for anyone to come forward to save people.

At this time.

The Ezo people also appeared in the northern part of the Wa Kingdom and began to make contact with the Ming army, both sides maintained restraint and did not clash, and most of the Ezo people chose to retreat, not risking offending the Ming Dynasty.

For more than a year, the defeat of the shogunate heralded the complete victory of the Ming army.

The good news was transmitted back to the mainland, which triggered the enthusiastic jubilation of the Ming Dynasty.

And the aftermath is always the most troublesome.

Cleaning up the rebel forces in various places has become the main body, and the armies scattered in the countryside and started a protracted war, which is also a battlefield without gunpowder, and the Ming Dynasty is fully prepared. (End of chapter)
