Although the emperor of the Wa Kingdom was just an ornament, the various official titles he gave were still very useful, and for a while the imperial family lived by selling official titles.

After the news spread that the Persian generals and Tayama Manjia had been enshrined as generals of the Eastern Expedition to the West, the daimyo of all parties sent people to ask for the title.

Li Wei is also very generous, as long as he is willing to participate in the crusade against Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he will give them an official position.

Hosokawa Yoriyuki, who was opposed to the Persian general, couldn't help but be a little shaken when he saw this scene.

Although he is an old minister of the Ashikaga clan, but now that the situation has changed, the Ming army has broken the political ecology of the Wa country, and the Ashikaga clan has become a rebel, and he can't help but have some different thoughts.

Under the call of the "Emperor", Persian Yoshisho joined forces with many daimyos, gathered more than 100,000 people to prepare to attack Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who fled back to Kamakura, although Hosokawa Yoriyuki did not participate, but also temporarily ceased war with Persian Yoshisho and watched from the wall, while Li Wei was leisurely sitting in Yoshino waiting for the results of their chaotic battle.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decree also arrived.

Li Wei led the generals to respectfully receive the decree, and the Japanese people such as Xuren and Changqing also knelt down and listened to the hadith.

Zhu Yuanzhang's will was mainly to urge Li Wei to return to his division as soon as possible, and at the same time bring back the Japanese royal family.

Now that the Japanese Kingdom and Kyoto are gone, there is no point in continuing to fight, so it is the right thing to canonize the Japanese king as soon as possible and stabilize the Japanese kingdom to stop the Japanese troubles.

Li Wei couldn't help frowning when he received the order.

Originally, he wanted to take his time and wait for these daimyo to get tired before reaping the profits, but it seemed that it would not work, and he had to deal with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as soon as possible, and then stabilize these daimyo and start to implement the plan to hollow out the Japanese kingdom.

After receiving the order of thanksgiving, Li Wei took action, took all the Japanese royal families in the north and south, boarded the ship that had circled to the east, and set off for Kamakura.

Kamakura is located on the coast of the Kanto region, the largest plain area in the Wa Kingdom, where the former Kamakura Shogunate took its origins, and later the Wa Kingdom Tokyo, which is now Edo, is also far north of it.

Although there were many soldiers and horses for Persian Yoshimitsu and others, the Ashikaga clan was not a vegetarian, and the two sides fought back and forth, which was difficult to solve, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu firmly guarded Kamakura.

But the arrival of the Ming army's sailors broke the tide of the battle, and when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw the Ming army's world-wide ships, he knew that this was going to be the end!

When the ship docked, Li Wei ordered several rounds of artillery bombardment at Kamakura, which was close at hand, and then the Ashikaga clan was defeated like a mountain, and was quickly defeated by the combined forces of the Persian generals and others.

However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu still ran, running extremely neatly, without hesitation.

Li Wei was a little disappointed that he couldn't kill this guy, but now that he is a lost dog, it may be difficult to make a comeback.

The Persian generals and others led their troops in pursuit, vowing to take the heads of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to replace the shogun, but Li Wei did not care about them anymore.

After the war, Li Wei took people to inspect the nearby coast, which is the entrance to Tokyo Bay, and not far from the opposite side of this peninsula is the famous Yokosuka, the largest military port in the Japanese country, and further in, there are many excellent harbors, whether it is for maritime trade or garrison, it is the best place.

"I'll leave you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and you will temporarily garrison here and build the dock, and don't worry about the battle between the Japanese and the Japanese."

Li Wei chose the best place and instructed Lu Tang.

"Yes, don't worry!"

Lu Tang surrendered.

Li Wei bowed his head slightly.

Although the war is over for the time being, they still have a lot of work to do, the silver has not yet been mined, and the slave trade must be carried out quickly.

The members of the Wako are very complicated, but in the final analysis, they are all living a difficult life and no one cares about it, so it is better to take them all into their hands, even if they are slaves, they can give them food, and they don't have to work hard every day.

As for whether these Japanese people are willing or not, it doesn't matter, now that so many daimyo are fighting, they must need a lot of weapons and equipment, and the Ming can provide them, of course, they only sell cold weapons.

Even if it is a cold weapon, Daming's equipment is much better than their own, of course these things need money to buy, what if there is no money? Of course, the prisoners of war were sold as slaves.

When these slaves are in hand, you can organize them to dig up silver, or you can collect them as slave soldiers, and there is a place where they can be used anyway.

After arranging Lu Tang, Li Wei led the rest of the army back to Beijing.

Except for a few left for Lu Tang, all the other ships set sail on their way home.

It was early summer when it came, and it was late autumn when it returned, and the army finally entered the Yangtze River and returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty after nearly ten days of sailing.

At the Longjiang port, Zhu Yuanzhang led his ministers to greet him personally, which is the treatment only available to the founding fathers of Xu Dana's level.

The huge ironclad ship docked on the shore, and Li Wei led Hu Hai, Guo Ying and other generals to disembark and meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

"See Your Majesty!"

The generals saluted in unison.

"Hehe, good, the generals live up to expectations, this big victory returns, we will definitely be rewarded!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei and the others hurriedly thanked him.

After the greetings, Li Wei ordered someone to bring up all the royal families behind him and introduced them to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, these are the royal family of the Japanese Kingdom. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at these people along with his introduction, and immediately frowned slightly.

Without him, he looks too ugly.

"The little king of the Wa Kingdom greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Xuren, Changqing and others bowed down one after another, with a respectful attitude and a thoughtful number of courtesies.

Zhu Yuanzhang put away his disgusted face and nodded lightly: "I heard that the Japanese royal family was coerced by traitors and the Japanese kings, I don't blame you, but after you are sealed, you must cooperate with me to deal with the Japanese troubles, don't be like before!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! We will go all out to deal with the plague! ”

Both sides of the Seo Ren side tried their best to express their loyalty.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly.

In fact, he just said some scenes, and now the Ming army has controlled these Wa royal families, and there are also garrisons in the Wa Kingdom, so they can't be disobedient.

After teaching the Japanese royal family, Zhu Yuanzhang led the crowd back to the palace together.

Li Wei, as the protagonist of this time, is a great hero, and naturally walks with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the ministers follow him.

However, inadvertently, he unexpectedly found a person in the crowd who he hadn't seen for a long time - Lan Yu!

"This guy is back?" At the moment of catching a glimpse of Lan Yu, Li Wei frowned for a moment.

He hadn't seen this guy for a long time since he was kicked out of Beijing, but he didn't expect to see him again on this special day.

Lan Yu followed behind the crowd and looked at Li Wei, who had infinite scenery, and couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

I think that this traitorous favored minister who was nothing at the beginning has now reached the point of being a supreme minister, especially after this conquest, his status has surpassed that of these ordinary nobles, and only Xu Da and Li Shanchang and others can suppress them.

Li Wei glanced at him, then quietly withdrew his gaze, followed Zhu Yuanzhang half a step behind, and walked towards the palace.

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang officially ordered the reward, and Li Wei was unexpectedly promoted to the title of Duke of Han, but the rewards of others were somewhat unexpected.

Hu Hai and Guo Ying, as deputy generals, were both rewarded with Zenglu, which is quite reasonable.

However, Li Wei's Lu Tang, Shi Jun and others have made great contributions, but they are only in the Governor's Mansion, although they are considered to have been promoted a few levels in a row, but compared to such a great military achievement, it is a bit light.

On the contrary, Sheng Yong, who did not have much merit, was rewarded very heavily, especially Sheng Yong, a veteran who had been in the army for many years, and was directly crowned Hou.

Of course, a veteran like him has already accumulated a lot of military exploits, and it is understandable to be a marquis after this battle, but the comparison between the two sides is a little unusual.

Li Wei's heart sank, and he faintly realized Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.

Although the things that Lu Tang and Chen Su did were secret, if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know anything about it, it was probably impossible, Zhu Yuanzhang's move was obviously beating them.

After the holy decree was recited, the generals thanked him, and Li Wei did not say much, he understood that it was not appropriate to say more about this matter, so as not to be self-defeating.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Wei returned the general's seal letter and went home to see the children.

I haven't seen Xiao for half a year, and I don't know how old Xiao Ke has grown.

In the Horse Mansion, Anqing and Xiaoqing led the crowd to greet each other, and Li Wei stepped forward with a smile on his face.

Xiaoqing is still so beautiful and lovely, and An Qingchu is a mother, but she faintly exudes a hint of mature charm at a young age, and the temperament of a girl and a young woman blends, which can't help but make Li Wei swallow his saliva quietly.

"I've seen the master!"

A group of swallows and warblers saluted together, Abu also led the servants and guards to respectfully greet him, Li Wei raised his head casually and excused himself, and then walked to Xiaoqing and An Qing, and pulled them into the house together.

Although the servants and slaves in the house already knew the relationship between the master and Xiaoqing, they couldn't help but be slightly surprised when they saw him holding Xiaoqing and the princess in their hands.

But now that Li Wei's status is noble, they don't dare to say much, and they all bow their heads and pretend not to see it.

Everyone entered the house, and Li Wei also saw Xiao Keyan held by the nurse.

This little guy has grown super fast, I haven't seen him for half a year, and now he is older, Li Wei tried to hug it, and it was estimated that he was almost twenty pounds.

It's just that this little guy who used to be very kind to him, but now he is crying when he hugs him, obviously some recognition.

An Qing glanced at him with disgust, and quickly took the child over and coaxed him.

As soon as he left, it was half a year, and the child who didn't remember it had naturally forgotten him, but fortunately, he was still young, and he would get better after spending more time with him.

Li Wei looked at his son, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and secretly decided that he would definitely spare more time to accompany him in the future!

That night, after dinner, Li Wei hurriedly pulled An Qing into the room.

After a while, the room was full of clouds and rain, and the voices of the two were sometimes rapid and high, sometimes low and tactful, telling the long-lost lovesickness.

After all, Anqing is young, and she recovered quickly after giving birth, and after only more than half a year, she was no different from the girl before, and Li Wei had a deep understanding of this.

And Li Wei often recuperates for half a year, and has also saved a lot of savings, and he is not stingy in consumption.

In the first half of the night, he talked to An Qing about lovesickness, and after Anqing fell asleep, he transferred to the battlefield again, went to Xiaoqing's, and reviewed the past idioms.

As the saying goes, I am born with firewood that will be useful, and I will come back after a thousand essences are gone.

After a night of hard work, Li Wei finally exhausted all his savings in the past six months and fell asleep contentedly.

At the same time, Xiao Keyan, who was taken away by the wet nurse, couldn't sleep this night......

……

After resting at home for two days and spending time with his wife and children, Li Wei finally returned to normal life.

Three days later, in the morning, the ministers gathered outside the noon gate to wait, and Li Wei was late.

When the ministers saw him, they all stepped forward to salute, even those noble generals bowed their heads and were silent, no longer sneering, and even many of them showed respect.

The soldiers who accompanied the army this time were all greatly rewarded, and they were also very envious, especially those generals who had not been crowned marquis, and they were even more jealous of Sheng Yong's marquis in the first battle.

They think that their skills are no worse than Sheng Yong, and if Sheng Yong can follow Li Wei to fight the feudal marquis, they can naturally do it, so they can't help but have different thoughts about Li Wei.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Li Wei didn't put on any show, and responded to these kind gestures one by one, and everyone was even more enthusiastic when they saw this.

The whip sounded, the palace door was opened, and the ministers began to enter the palace in shifts.

Li Wei now has no civil position, only the body of a duke, according to the rules, he can only stand in the queue of nobles, but this time he is no longer the captain of the horse standing at the end, but one of the princes of the head of the nobles.

Li Wei patiently waited for the nobles to finish their shifts before walking over slowly.

The four horses standing behind, Mei Yin and Lu Xian, both sons of Xungui, turned their heads and pretended not to see when he passed by.

Wang Ning and Li Jian, two ordinary colts, had to give him face and salute respectfully.

Wang Ning was just an ordinary military general, and he was promoted to the governor's office after becoming a concubine, while Li Jian's father was from Yunnan and had a slight relationship with Li Wei. Li Wei also smiled and responded when he saw the two saluting.

After dealing with the two of them, Li Wei quickly went straight to his goal.

"Hey, you guys, a little bit later!"

Coming to Lan Yu, Huang Bin and the others, Li Wei looked impatient and waved his hand like chasing flies.

Lan Yu and the others, who were originally standing well, suddenly turned pale when they heard this.

"What's the matter? Not convinced? Li Wei glared and said displeasedly.

He waited for the people to stand before he came, in order to embarrass them.

"Humph!"

"What's there to be arrogant about?"

"Isn't it just a victory, who hasn't fought before?"

"That's it!"

Several of them had dark faces, muttering angrily, while taking two steps back to make way for him.

There's no way, people are the princes of the country, and they have to let them if they don't accept it.

"Cut!"

Li Wei glanced at them disdainfully, and then stood still behind Fu Youde.

Li Shanchang is on the side of the civil officials, and Wu Xun is here in front of him only Fu Youde and Tang and Feng Sheng, and there is no one else.

Fu Youde looked back at him, wanting to persuade him.

Li Wei smiled lightly at him, he also bowed his head slightly, and then turned around.

After thinking about it again, he still didn't mix these grievances. (End of chapter)
