The arrival of the Red Scarf Navy led by Zhu Han naturally aroused the vigilance and attention of the Japanese side, and the Japanese court in Yoshino was quickly informed of the incident.

"They are very powerful and have a large number of people. Our emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and it must be related to these rebellious officials and traitors of Iwami Domain!"

"We must send troops!"

"We can't let them get into Yoshino!"

The Japanese ministers of the Yoshino court are gathering together to discuss countermeasures.

According to the news coming out from the front, Emperor Gomurakami seems to have died in Iwami Domain.

However, the Japanese people all believed that the emperor was a god, so how could he die so easily?

It must be the rebellious officials and traitors of Iwami Domain who deliberately released false news to disturb people's hearts.

Facing the noisy court, Prince Kuancheng, who was sitting in the upper position, was only ten years old and didn't understand anything at all. He suddenly fell into panic and didn't know what to do.

"Gentlemen, please be patient! I can personally lead an army of eight thousand to repel these traitors!!"

At this moment, a figure wearing a white robe walked out of the crowd.

"It's Master Shirai!"

"It turns out that Master Shirai is here!"

"That's great. With his help, we can successfully deal with these damn Iwami clan rebels!"

Seeing the figure coming out, the ministers around started talking.

The man who came out was none other than the famous White House Master of Japan, his name was Hisashi Shirai. He was an important minister whom Emperor Gomurakami of Japan relied on most, and he was also the teacher of Emperor Gomurakami of Japan.

If it were in China, it would be almost equivalent to the Grand Master among the Three Dukes.

The 8,000-strong army was basically the entire force directly under Yoshino's Japanese imperial court. If some farmers from the surrounding areas were recruited, the number could be roughly between 15,000 and 20,000.

"Master Shirai, please!"

Prince Kancheng, who was supervising the country, immediately entrusted the military power to Master Shirai after being persuaded by many ministers.

"Qishan Palace, please rest assured, I will definitely kill the invading enemies and find out the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor!" Master Shirai said with confidence.

On the coast fifty miles away from Yoshino, the naval force led by Zhu Han had completed the landing. The local Japanese army organized an attack of more than a thousand people, but was killed by two hundred cavalry led by Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu.

From then on, no Japanese dared to come near him again.

According to Zhu Han's plan, after the Red Scarf Army establishes a stronghold here, they will continue to march towards Yoshino Castle, and then attack Yoshino Castle, support a willing and cooperative Southern Japanese Emperor, ensure the interests of the Iwami Domain, and then retreat calmly.

return.

After all, Zhu Han did not have time to seize the land of Japan, which was so poor that it was impoverished.

"Sir, spies from the front are here to report that the Yoshino court has sent a large army to attack." Hojo Yoshizhin hurriedly came to report to Zhu Hanhan.

"How many troops are coming?"

"There are about fifteen thousand people, including two thousand armored soldiers, three thousand archers, and the rest are Ashigaru."

Hojo Yoshin reported all the information he had one by one.

"It seems that they haven't figured out the situation yet. They came to the door, and we just wiped them out in one fell swoop!" Zhu Han heard Hojo Yoshima's answer, raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and immediately ordered the army to move forward.

There is nothing in this world that money cannot buy, especially in a barren land like Japan.

Zhu Han's march this time brought 5,000 Japanese soldiers newly recruited by Iwami clan. After eating enough white rice for more than ten days, these Japanese soldiers of Iwami clan were full of strength and were arranged by Zhu Han.

Used as cannon fodder at the forefront of the army.

For this cannon fodder Japanese army, Zhu Han gave them a domineering name.

The 'Iwami Domain Emperor Song Xiejun' can also be referred to as the 'Iwami Emperor Xiejun'. The certain military state system happened to be an old regulation of the Song Dynasty. The feudal lord Hojo Yoshima served as the governor of the Iwami Emperor Xiejun.

After all, the Japanese army from Yoshino has a large number of archers, and it would be bad if the Red Turban soldiers were injured. First, use the Iwami Imperial Alliance Army to consume the bows and arrows and strength of the Japanese Japanese army from Yoshino.

What Zhu Han never expected was that the Japanese in Iwami Domain did not have a clear understanding of their cannon fodder duties.

After marching for half a day, the Five Thousand Stone Imperial Alliance Army led by Hojo Yoshin immediately encountered the Southern Dynasty Japanese Army from Yoshino.

As a forward, Hojo Yoshin wanted to show his bravery and loyalty in front of Zhu Han, so after sending people to pass information to the rear, he personally led the army to launch a surprise attack. Anyway, there were less than a thousand people on the opposite side, so there was no need to worry about failure.

.

Hojo Yoshizhin got on his horse, brandished his spear and shouted: "Kill the traitor, kill him!"

Thousands of people under his command saw the Imperial Alliance Army and immediately started shouting.

"Onboard!"

"Kill!"

“Onboard onboard!”

A group of Ishimi Imperial Alliance troops rushed into the Yoshino Japanese army.

This vanguard of the Yoshino Japanese army was personally led by Hisashi Shirai, who wanted to test the strength of the Iwami Domain rebels first.

Originally, in the eyes of these Yoshino Japanese soldiers, the rebels of the Iwami clan were just a group of unarmed ordinary people and posed no threat at all.

So when I saw them charging all the way, I didn't have the slightest scruple.

However, when they came into contact with the 'Iwami Rebels', they discovered that these people were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, because the armors and weapons of the Iwami Imperial Alliance Army were all equipment of the Red Scarf Army, although they basically belonged to the Red Turban Army.

The equipment in the Red Turban Army is backward, but the actual combat effect is not bad at all.

In fact, the weapons and equipment worn by the Iwami Imperial Alliance Army completely exceeded the imagination of the Yoshino Japanese Army. It can be said to be a kind of luxury product!

Each member of the Ishikawa Imperial Association was equipped with a long spear or a simple sword, and wore a cloth-covered iron leaf armor. It looked inconspicuous, but its defensive power far exceeded the Japanese bamboo armor.

Seeing such weapons, Yoshino Japanese soldiers and others couldn't help but feel strong jealousy and fear in their hearts. They realized that the Iwami rebels were definitely not that simple.

"Onboard~~~!"

Hojo Yoshizhin brandished a spear and led his subordinates to kill Shirai Hisashi and others crazily.

Shirai Shou didn't hesitate, he took out a Japanese sword and shouted, "Kill~~~!"

The two sides are still fighting together.

The soldiers of the "Imperial Association Army" on Hojo Yoshin's side all wear armor, and the weapons in their hands are long spears and swords, but Shirai Hisa's men are all light infantry, and the weapons they use are all bows and crossbows, which is difficult to deal with.

Shi Jian's Imperial Alliance troops caused heavy casualties.

After the confrontation between the two sides, the Yoshino Japanese army suffered a tragic blow. The corpses that kept falling made Shirai Hisashi, the first general of the Japanese country, shocked. He did not expect that the Iwami rebels were so powerful.

"Retreat! Retreat~~!"

Shirai Hisashi shouted in panic, wanting to lead his army to escape from these terrible enemies.

However, the Iwami Imperial Alliance Army, who had been eating white rice for more than ten days, became more and more courageous as they fought. Seeing the defeat of the Yoshino Japanese Army, they started to chase and kill them one by one.

"Come on!"

When Ishikawa saw the Japanese soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army, they all took their swords and attacked the enemies in front.

Shirai Hisashi took the remaining several hundred soldiers and quickly fled toward the rear.

On their way back, Japanese soldiers were left dead and wounded along the way.

...

"Sir, the Yoshino Imperial Family's troops have been spotted ahead!"

"Reporting to your lord, Ishikawa Imperial Army's troops are attacking the enemy!"

"Reporting to your lord, Ishikawa Imperial Army has repelled the enemy and is pursuing them!"

One piece of information came to Zhu Han.

"Ha ha...."

After hearing this information, Zhu Han couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was really surprised that the fighting power of Yoshino Nanchao's Japanese army was so poor.

"Send Emperor Gomurakami's coffin to Hojo Yoshin, and let the Iwami Imperial Alliance Army protect their Emperor's coffin and march into Yoshino Castle!" Zhu Han ordered loudly.

Since we want to support a puppet Japanese regime in Yoshino, we must not only have a strong military deterrent, but also have a reasonable name.

It would be perfect to support the coffin of the Japanese Emperor to beg the thieves.

Soon, the Iwami Imperial Alliance Army led by Hojo Yoshin approached the main force of the Japanese army in the Southern Dynasties.

The 5,000 Japanese Imperial Alliance Army swaggered in front of the 15,000 Southern Japanese Army!

"The bold traitor actually dares to trespass on the Emperor's station. Aren't you tired of living?" When Shirai Hisashi saw this Ishimi Imperial Army, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart, and couldn't help roaring.

.

"Hmph, you are the rebellious traitor, and the person who colluded with Onishi Morikiyo to kill His Majesty the Emperor must be you! I will send you on your way today!" Hojo Yoshin said with an arrogant look, pointing the spear in his hand at Hisashi Shirai.

At this time, the Yoshino Japanese army on the opposite side discovered that the Iwami Imperial Army came out pushing a huge coffin, which was also covered with a robe embroidered with chrysanthemum patterns, which was exactly what Emperor Gomurakami wore when he died.

pieces.

In an instant, the entire Yoshino Japanese army fell into panic and panic.

The Emperor is dead!?
