Chapter 159: Eventful... summer
As the foreign affairs agency in charge of Daqi, Honglu Temple is naturally also responsible for the accommodation of the envoys of all parties.
For this reason, when capturing Luoyang and building a new capital, Taizu specially granted a large piece of land to Honglu Temple.
Therefore, among the many institutions of Daqi, although the boundary of Honglu Temple is not as important as the Sixth Department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it still covers an area far more than the Sixth Department.
According to Taizu's plan, a whole square of land was specially set up as an envoy station, which basically ensured that each country could have its own set of two courtyards to do things, such as Qixiang Country (in reality, it was probably Ryukyu) and some small countries that dared to claim the throne of one or two cities.
And if you want a bigger yard, you have to prove your strength.
Countries that can hold out for a few rounds under Daqi will have three courtyards, such as North Korea, Dongoo, Siam, etc.
However, recently, Toyo is preparing a phased strategy for one of the world's highest-level dungeons of online - Kyushu Huaxia, and will conduct a four-entry courtyard challenge against Daqi.
As long as it is defeated, as long as it can not be defeated in an instant after the battle, and resist the attack of the Southwest Qi army led by the Metropolitan Governor Yunyu, Donghu will be able to live in the courtyard of Sijin.
The one who can maneuver with Daqi is the courtyard of Sijin.
And those who can fight with the Great Qi are evenly matched, and the treatment is to enter the courtyard five times.
However, since the establishment of Daqi, the Wujin courtyard has not been used until now.
The country that had the most hope of living in Wujin Courtyard before was Meng Yuan. But with the capture of Antong Bayar, the last Great Khan of the Mengyuan Dynasty, by Jia Huisheng and the dedication of the chief to the Taimiao, even the set of Sijin courtyards belonging to the Great Yuan was sealed and waited for the latecomers.
To this day, the only one who is still qualified to live in the courtyard is the official name of "Yamato Province".
But there is a lot of water in the courtyard where the Wa Kingdom can live in the courtyard.
The biggest reason why the Wa Kingdom was able to fight with the East China Sea Division of Daqi during the Taizong period was that across the sea, the monsoon was not very stable, and Daqi could not send a large army to attack, so it could only send a small number of elite troops to storm the next port and hold on for many days to wait for the subsequent large army to arrive.
Moreover, this place is extremely poor, the Japanese people are poor and arbitrary, and it is very annoying, and it is also a great threat to the grain route of the Qi army
However, under the influence of many factors, the war with the Wa Kingdom lasted for a year and two months, and the Tokai Division broke through the last stronghold of the Kamakura Shogunate in the northeast, eliminated the last resistance force of the Wa Kingdom at that time, and slaughtered Hojo Punctuality, the last ruler of the Shogunate, on an unknown wasteland on the shore of Michinoku Bay.
The Ashikaga Takashi clan, the pillar of the samurai family, who had defected and opened the gates of the castle in the Battle of Kamakura, was canonized by Daiki as the new general of the Yamato Kingdom and was given the name Honji. The imperial palace was located in Muromachi and was called the Muromachi shogunate.
As a result, the Wa Kingdom was distinguished from the vassal states such as Korea, and reluctantly lived in the courtyard of Sijin.
The qualitative wall separation of the jealousy of North Korea!
But there is no way, Daqi's hierarchy of the vassal states is very simple and rude, and Daqi distributes the envoy residences of the vassal states according to their combat effectiveness.
However, North Korea's record in being pushed to Pyongyang by King Beijingzhuang in the first battle of the Great Qi Taizu was too dazzling, even if the self-confident North Koreans did not have the face to apply for four courtyards.
。。。
In the courtyard with a strong gentle breeze, a bearded man with black teeth and a black hat was talking in a strange tone to the man sitting opposite him with a moon head.
"Lord Wise, there is news from Taiwei Jia of Qi State, allowing me to wait for three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day to pay a visit to the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army." The public held a fan and slapped the palm of his left hand as he spoke.
"Three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow? Your Excellency, I understand. Akechi Mitsuhide accepted this point in time without the slightest hesitation.
Originally, he planned to visit the military department in the afternoon of the next day, but since Captain Jia agreed to their visit, he could only postpone the visit to the military department.
"Oh roar, I'm really lucky, Wise Lord" As if thinking of something, Nijo Yukara, who was the fourth upper secretary of state, suddenly raised a folding fan to cover the lower half of his face, and looked at Akechi Mitsuhide with a smile.
Ask me!
"Oh? What's the news, Your Excellency? ”
Wise Mitsuhide understood this look almost instantly, and hurriedly asked.
"Yo roar, Lord Hinata, do you know that yesterday was the birthday of the captain, and he must be in a good mood these days." Yukara Nijo looked at Akechi Mitsuhide with a smile on his face, "I don't know how good I know this".
Although the purpose of the Oda family's visit to Qi this time was like the Muromachi Shogunate's canonization of the Imperial Court directly by the Great Qi, it was a trespass and a great disrespect
But Nobunaga gave too much!
Anyway, their own family has been reduced to the point where they want to make up their lives and sell their surnames to those ordinary people, so what's wrong with selling the imperial court?
Moreover, if Nobunaga had achieved his goal, he would have been canonized and replaced by the Ashikaga clan. So how good will it be for me to be a lobbyist who helps Nobunaga operate in the Dazira relationship?
With the bloodline of the two clans of the five regents, even the position of Guan Bai can also sit, and it is the worst, and he can get a good position in the shogunate even if he turns into a samurai family and becomes a samurai!
Nijo Kora is looking forward to his bright future, and Akechi Mitsuhide asks the doubts in his heart:
"But I heard that Captain Jia's uncle didn't just die not long ago? their relationship."
"Roar. Yesterday, I heard him say it when I was drinking with Lord Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. The relationship between Captain Jia and his uncle was a little stiff, so the death of this Dr. Jia Fengzheng had little effect on Captain Jia."
"Then how did this Shaoqing know this?" Akechi Mitsuhide hurriedly asked
"Hinatamoru don't worry" Nijo Yukara glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide with some dissatisfaction, as if to blame him for interrupting his words.
"Ah, it's a faux pas, private Marseille!" Seeing that Nijo Yukara was a little dissatisfied, he hurriedly bowed down and apologized.
"Dumb tape, stupid tape, Hinata Mamoru is also unintentional. As for why, this Shaoqing is a jinshi of the Yimao family, and he is the same department of Uncle Jia's uncle" Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide's apology was very timely, Nijo Yukara was not pursuing it, after all, Nobunaga's task was important
"However, our Saito-sama's illness has not been cured yet? It's a shame that Saito-sama has been bedridden since I left the country, but I've never met Saito-sama," said Nijo Kora, playing with the fan in his hand.
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, His Royal Highness Yoshicho is the younger brother of Mrs. Guidie, and Mrs. Yoshicho's wish to rebuild the Saito family is also pinned on His Royal Highness Yoshicho, so I asked the lord to assign many tasks to His Royal Highness Yoshicho
But this wish is really a bit heavy for His Royal Highness Yichang, and His Highness lives a very hard life every day, so he fell ill, but I will convey your concern to His Highness on your behalf! Akechi Mitsuhide said solemnly to Nijo Kora, and bowed solemnly.
Hearing Akechi Mitsuhide say this, Nijo Yukara couldn't say anything, he also bowed to Akechi Mitsuhide, said goodbye again, and stepped back to his room to play with his latest porcelain vase.
It wasn't until Yukara Nijo left the main hall that Akechi Mitsuhide got up and went to the backyard.
"Your Highness, I ask to see you in Xia Guangxiu!"
。。。。。。
The day before Akechi Mitsuhide visited Jia Hui, Yun Yu, who was leading the army to confront Donghu in the southwest, sent a battle report to the imperial court.
A few days ago, the war between Donghu and Daqi began!
This year, it seems that the rainy season has started early, and the rain is unusually abundant, which has also led to a series of flash floods, which have washed away the levees and flooded many farmlands. However, almost all the strong men in the country were recruited by the king to confront the Qi State, and naturally there was no extra manpower in the country to repair the embankment.
Fortunately, the Donghu court blocked the news from the south in time and did not let the army know. But paper can't contain the fire after all, and sooner or later the army will know what is happening in their hometown, so they can only fight quickly!
Donghu Wang Mang should reach the personal expedition, personally led the troops like a night attack on the Qi army stationed in Lashio, caught off guard, the deputy general of the Qi army Hu Chang, Tusi Manglai was killed, the chief soldier Liang Ji gathered the rout army and fled into the rainforest, and retreated to Dehong while fighting.
Fortunately, Jia Hui did not equip the Southwest Qi army with firearms, and most of the artillery was small artillery, which was very convenient to destroy.
At the current level of firearms, crossbows are better than firearms.
Hu Chang also blew up several cannons before dying in battle, and did not let the cannons fall into the hands of the Donghu army.
The Qi army also maintained its technological crushing of Donghu.
Yun Yu, who set up the shogunate in Myaning (present-day Lincang), was furious when he received the battle report and scolded the southwest, but he still arranged a counterattack plan in an orderly manner
The Qi army stationed in Dehong, Pu'er, Myitkyina, Xishuangbanna and other places approached the Donghu border, vowing to enter the city of Donghu within two months and capture Mang Yingda alive!
At the same time, the Tusi of the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanwei Division also received an order from Yun Yu to kill the important towns of Donghu such as Leigu and Pa'an.
And Annam, who has always coveted the rich land of the Angkor Dynasty, also took advantage of the time when Daqi's southwestern military forces were concentrated to deal with Donghu and launched a war with Angkor, intending to lay down Angkor's raw rice and cook it to make Daqi pinch his nose and admit it.
And Siam, who was defeated by the first king of Angkor more than ten years ago, seems to have some ideas about Angkor.
The Indochina Peninsula instantly became a mess!
Shendu.
The Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, which received the report from the Southwest War, was running at high speed, and logistics scheduling work was carried out under the command of Jia Hui.
At this morning's court meeting, the emperor had handed over the coordination work to himself, and Jia Hui would coordinate all the rear work of the battle with Donghu.
Hongling's envoy set off from the Dadu Governor's Mansion with military orders on his back, and rushed to the southwest for eight hundred miles.
At the same time, a large amount of armament that had long been ready to be loaded and left at any time also began to be loaded and ready to be sent to the front.
"What are Liang Ji and Hu Chang eating? Don't they know why they were stationed in Lashio? There was a roar like a tiger in the hall.
Hu Chang, who had just asked what to do with Hu Chang, who died in battle, and Liang Ji, who lost his land and lost his city because of the arrogance of the enemy, were all remorseful at this time, but he didn't expect the Taiwei to react so much to the two.
Jia Hui, who was holding back the fire in his stomach and finally broke out and scolded for a while, also lost his anger, regained his senses, sat back in the chair and began to think.
"Alas, anyway, Hu Chang did his best, and he also died in battle, you go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to ask about the process of this situation, and then report it to me.
As for Liang Ji, let him go and raise horses for Grandpa Yun! ”
"Yes!"
After hearing the Taiwei say the arrangements for the two, the little official left the festival hall as if he had been pardoned.
"Tai Lieutenant, although Liang Ji lost Lashio, he also withdrew into the rainforest with eighty percent of his troops." On the side, the left deputy governor of the Governor's Mansion felt that Jia Hui's punishment was too severe, and now that it was a war, Liang Ji was also a fierce general who was good at jungle warfare.
"Who let Hu Chang who he killed die in battle, and he Liang Ji is still alive." Jia Hui said faintly.
According to Yun Yu, Liang Ji has been spending all his time eating, drinking, and having fun since he entered Lashio City, while Hu Chang is doing his best to arrange defense
On the night of the attack, Hu Chang took shifts to rest, while Liang Ji, who was on duty, went to drink flower wine, and when Lashio was attacked and the herald found Liang Ji, he was still playing hide and seek with Sister Yao
When Liang Ji, who was wearing armor, finally ran to the city wall, Hu Chang, who rushed to support at the first time, had already begun to fight hand-to-hand with the Donghu soldiers.
Therefore, Liang Ji must be punished, even if it is still in wartime!
Another military order was sent to Myaning, and the errand of the Governor's Mansion came to an end for the time being.
Since Jia Hui began to allocate materials to the southwest a long time ago, there is not much to do now, and the most is to issue supplementary orders to the generals such as allowing them to take the initiative to attack.
It's just a patch, and then start a new round of material transportation.
As the officials went out on business, the governor's mansion also fell silent again.
"Where's the mission to North Korea?" Jia Hui, who had started to deal with other military affairs, suddenly asked a question without looking up.
"Taiwei, the mission has passed Jinzhou, and it is about to meet with General Jiang Huan and Jiang Shen in Shenyang," the little official who had been waiting by the side hurriedly replied.
"yes, I see."
Jia Hui nodded, and then handed the small stack of documents he had handled to the little official.
"Send it to the household department and ask for money."
"Yes!"
The little official agreed, put the documents into the wooden box and locked it, and walked out of the festival hall with the wooden box.
"Alas"
Jia Hui put the pen still on the table, sighed and lay on the chair.
Troublesome, Indochina Peninsula, Japanese and North Korea, all of them have a bunch of bad things on their bodies, but most of them are related to military affairs, and I can't even participate if I don't want to!
Needless to say, the Indochina Peninsula is even more chaotic than the northwest of Shanxi that Li Yunlong stirred up back then.
According to the embroidered clothes lurking there, the death of the former king of North Korea, this son Li Xiang is absolutely inseparable, but this person's brain is not normal, and his political tendency is actually anti-Qi.
And then there's the Wakuni, and you can tell how troublesome it is just by the name Oda Nobunaga.
Although the more chaotic the Wa Kingdom is, the more it is in line with the interests of Daqi, giving him a righteous title is a matter of one sentence
But what if you get away with it? Oda Nobunaga had an accident and failed to break through the siege, or Akechi Mitsuhide showed his barbecue skills in advance and roasted Nobunaga, and the entire Wa Kingdom was united again?
Could it be true that while fighting Donghu, we should spend a lot of manpower, material and military resources to start a new war?
Four hundred million taels of silver is not such a waste!
Drinking all the tea on the table, which was already a little cold, Jia Hui was going home on a business trip ahead of schedule.
However, it is not to return to the county mansion, but to the Rongguo mansion.
It's not that Jia Hui is uncomfortable taking the initiative to find it, but
Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing.
