Chapter 187: The Slow-Moving Shogunate
"Why? Isn't North Korea good enough for your Min family? Li Yuanfang asked Min Ji.
"The roots of the Min family are in North Korea, and the Ming Dynasty just did it on purpose to weaken North Korea. There is no Min family, there are other people's families. Jeju Island can't be recovered. ”
Min Ji said cunningly.
Li Yuanfang knew that he was telling the truth, Da Ming wanted to do this, and without the Min family, he would definitely canonize other families.
He just wanted it to go slower and give him time to react. It doesn't matter what Min Ji says.
Just let Min Ji understand his current attitude.
"What do you think about Zuo Cheng sending troops with Xu Qin?" Li Yuanfang asked another question.
"Does North Korea still have a choice? Xu Qin's firearms are sharp. If he has a good wind, we will follow and plunder. If he goes against the wind, we will withdraw. In fact, it is not necessarily without benefits. ”
Min Ji said.
"But if you offend the Japanese country in this way, North Korea will never have peace in the future." Li Yuanfang said.
"Great King, whether we are offended or not, the relationship between the Wa Kingdom and us is not good. Second, the Ming Dynasty can let North Korea follow the Ming Dynasty to fight the Japanese State, will the Japanese State attack North Korea? ”
Min Ji said.
His words made Li Yuanfang sad for a while, this is the choice of a small country.
"I dare to bet with the king, if you don't go to fight the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that the trouble will become more and more serious in the future."
Min Ji said spicily.
Li Yuanfang's eyelids jumped.
"You're talking about the Geoje Island Woko, isn't it ......?" Li Yuanfang said in surprise.
"Xu Qin is young, but he is ruthless, if the king doesn't agree, he will do anything. The knife is in the chest, and even if there is a thousand catties, it can't be exerted. ”
Min Ji said.
Li Yuanfang sighed.
In August of the 6th year of Yongle, Joseon sent 20,000 troops to leave Geoje Island with Xu Qin's fleet, aiming for Tsushima Island.
More than 30,000 people arrived on Tsushima Island to protect the daimyo Sotsune Sadashige, and the general Hayada Saemon Dairo, who had already been prepared for the menacing army, and closed the castle gate with the intention of holding on to the castle wall.
The North Korean army finally got a close look at the firearms of the Ming Dynasty. More than forty artillery pieces fired two rounds at the so-called city walls.
The city wall that Somune Sadashige was proud of collapsed, and the fierce Hayada Guardian Dairo led people to storm outward, trying to defeat the firearms of the Ming army.
It encountered the continuous blows of the Ming army's firecrackers, tiger squat cannons and artillery. There were more than 2,000 people in total, and half of them died before they rushed to the front.
It could only retreat, and the North Korean army rushed in after the buttocks. The Ming army was only on horseback and was responsible for guarding the perimeter.
In the end, Sotsune committed suicide in his room, and Hayada Saemon Dairo took the remnants of Sam to the port from the trail and got on the boat to escape.
As a result, he was hit by two shells of the cruising ship and died in the sea.
More than 20,000 North Korean troops were completely unrestrained and began to plunder Tsushima. The army of the Ming Dynasty chose to camp in a good time.
Then the extra time began to build the fortifications. It's their habit.
Xu Qin and Zhang Fu got off the boat and had just arrived in the barracks. One of Zuo Liangmou's brocade guards had arrived. Brought a map.
Xu Qin didn't know much about the Wa Kingdom, but he knew that the Wa Kingdom had a silver mine that could rank among the top three in the world. Iwami Silver Mine.
Tsushima was so poor that tens of thousands of people could only plunder it. But the greed and ferocity of the North Korean army have been stimulated.
The people of the Dai family also came. Xu Qin handed over Tsushima Island to the Dai family. Dai Deqing was appointed governor of Tsushima, and then he brought all the provisions. After more than ten days of sailing, the Wakuni Honshu Iwami.
After getting off the ship, under the leadership of Jinyiwei, he directly took the territory of several nearby daimyos. Then let the North Korean army go out and plunder.
Xu Qin captured the home city of a lord and began to build fortifications on this basis. And the craftsmen have already begun to explore the silver mines.
Xu Qin, the representative of Dongping Feifu, began to contact the nearby daimyo. The Daijia also began to contact the daimyo of the Southern Dynasty.
Soon, the nearby unwilling daimyo organized a counteroffensive, and before Xu Qin could make a move, the crazy Korean army was beaten back.
Xu Qin sent 2,000 musketeers and five cannons to the Korean army. Follow them to attack. When they encounter the so-called city, they bombard it with artillery and then fire at it.
In the end, the North Korean army plundered.
Supplies were agreed to be stored, as far as gold, silver, jewelry, and cloth were concerned, and even the population. The army of the Ming Dynasty does not want. Let the North Korean army take it away.
Within a radius of 200 miles, they have all been ravaged. At this time, the Muromachi shogunate received the news, but thought it was a thief from Korea.
I didn't take it seriously at all, and when the army was organized, it fought against the North Korean army.
They were routed by the North Korean army, which had artillery and muskets to help. Took advantage of the situation and grabbed a few more big names.
At this time, the Muromachi shogunate knew that there was a big trouble and hurried to organize the army. However, if you want to organize an army, you will not be able to do it for a while.
Moreover, the Korean army ravaged the territories of several wealthy daimyos, and the other daimyo were not motivated.
Moreover, the Muromachi shogunate wanted to mobilize the Ming Dynasty to fight, which was not an ordinary effort. Because there is not much coercive power on the Ming Dynasty.
A month later, the craftsman returned. Veins of silver ore have been surveyed.
At this time, the daimyo of the south also arrived, and Xu Qin held a meeting with them and took them to see the silver mines, as well as the process of smelting silver by craftsmen.
"You mine the silver here, and we take care of the smelting. After the silver is smelted, we take it with us. But I will give you sixty percent of the silver smelted out of the Daimyo Royal Silver Silver Tickets, and with these silver tickets, you can go to Daming to purchase goods of the same silver.
And there are no restrictions on the goods. Xu Qin directly gave a big pie.
These daimyo in the south have already tasted the sweetness, especially the Great Ri Rulai who brought back a pure glass from the Ming Dynasty by the Three Alleys Sect.
The temple in this area of the Southern Dynasty gathered a lot of believers. And this Buddha statue is a loan from the Ming royal silver. You can repay it slowly in the later stage.
Now that he even gave the silver ticket of the Ming royal silver number, the daimyo of the Southern Dynasty believed it. In particular, the Three Alleys Honzong also brought back a large number of weapons.
Let the daimyo who supported Emperor GoKameyama get a lot of arms. And now there are such benefits.
The bold daimyoshi immediately organized people to come and mine, and the timid were eager to try.
At this time, there was an accident.
Cochin rebelled again. Zhu Di transferred troops back to quell the rebellion. The holy decree demanded that the British public Zhang Fu should immediately lead his troops to Jiaozhi.
"Can you not go, these devils are about to have a big war. As long as the war is won, the Japanese kingdom will inevitably be divided. ”
Xu Qin pulled Zhang Fu and said.
"The Divine Decree has arrived, and saving the soldiers is like fighting fire." Zhang Fu also knew that he couldn't leave at this time. But the eunuch next to him was eyeing him.
"I can let him drown in the sea." Xu Qin pointed to the eunuch next to him and said.
The eunuch's face turned white at that time, and his heart said My God, I came with a holy decree, and if you say that you will be killed, what kind of person is you, do you want to rebel?
Looking at the sea behind him, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Fu pitifully, begging the British Duke not to agree.
This is a broken place, and there is no place to run.
"Little grandpa, don't mess around. The Wa Kingdom is nothing more than a disease of scabies. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, Jiaozhi is my Daming territory......"
Zhang Fu said. What will be subject to the foreign king's life, that's.
Xu Qin had no choice but to send Zhang Fu away.
Of the thirteen thousand Shenji Battalion, Zhang Fu took away 10,000. Xu Qin had 3,000 men left and his own 4,000 troops of the Haifan Division. But seven thousand.
This stretched Xu Qin's troops. But at this time, Xu Qin decided to let half of the North Korean soldiers go back.
Then the Japanese captured by the Korean soldiers continued to build fortifications. For fear that the army of the Japanese kingdom would immediately rush over.
What he didn't expect was that the efficiency of the Wa Kingdom was so low, and after three months, it was almost autumn.
His first batch of 700,000 taels of silver and 100,000 catties of copper had been transported to the Yamen of the Haifan Division. The first crusade organized by the Muromachi shogunate barely made it.
But this process was clearly known by Xu Qin under the infiltration of Dongping Feifu, a traitor.
Xu Qin couldn't help but sigh, how did this Muromachi shogunate continue to have so little control over these local daimyos?
It is also said to have existed for more than a hundred years. What a miracle.
He felt deeply powerless in the organizational capacity of the Wa Kingdom. He wanted a hearty battle to show the big names of the Southern Dynasty.
As long as the coalition forces of the Muromachi shogunate are defeated for the first time, then those daimyo in the south will dare to resist and have ideas.
But Xu Qin thought very well, and the reality was very skinny. Zhang Fu was transferred, and none of these people called.
The daimyo who belonged to the Southern Dynasty was disobeyed, and this time the Muromachi shogunate only organized 40,000 people. Ashikaga Yoshinori personally led the team to crusade against Xu Qin.
And at this time, Xia Zifu personally arrived with supplies. There are not only supplies, but also 1,500 chengguan of the Haifan Division, and two big ships.
They were accompanied by a caravan of the Celestial Division. They brought with them a large number of daimyo cargo. Under Xu Qin's control, only the southern daimyo who had been vetted by Sanxiang Honzong and Dongping Feifu could buy it.
Dongping is rich in spring breeze, and it is vertical and horizontal among the southern daimyos.
What he liked the most was that when he chose Xu Qin to go on a wild trip with Nanako, he would meet those southern daimyos.
Tell them with practical actions that he is the father-in-law of this invincible general. Although his daughter is only a concubine, he has great power.
In fact, Yunhe and Qisu, as well as Guanguan and Wanwan, also arrived. The architecture of the Wakoku is very distinctive, and they were very excited when they first came. But after a while it wilted.
The Wa Kingdom is too poor to have anything. And the language barrier is not clear, and the only one who can communicate is Nanako Higashihira.
As for those who are soldiers, they are also not convenient to communicate. Even the delicious ingredients are running out.
"Mr. Xia, if you don't come again, we will suffocate here." Qi Su couldn't care about his manners, and almost rushed over to hug Xia Zifu and cried.
Yunhe was not much better, and he almost cried when he saw bags of Daimyo ingredients. The food here is so poor.
In addition to dried fish, it is rice and wild vegetable soup. The cooks of the Wa Kingdom cook beautifully, but they are very unreal.
Guan Guan and Wanwan were no longer polite, took out the ribs that Nanazi gave them, cut the ham and ate it.
"Little grandpa, you've lost weight." Xia Zifu couldn't help but sigh.
"I can't do anything here but fuck sleeping women. I'm convinced of these little devils. It's just a battle, why is it so slow. I knew that I would go directly to his Kyoto, and I was impatient when I waited. ”
Xu Qin grabbed a handful of raisins, fed one to Nanazi, and ate one himself. Idle and bored, he wanted to die.
Most of the women in the Japanese country are malnourished and ugly. How can there be a Ming water spirit.
