"Why is this?" Fang Xiaoru is one of the best at learning, but he is not very proficient in strategy.
Han Du crossed his hands, leaned back, and said calmly: "Since the Japanese dare not respect the Ming Dynasty and dare to kill the Ming Dynasty's envoys, then they are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the enemy will kill each other to the last person.
Only the Japanese who are good are the real good Japanese."
"There is a deep hatred between the north and the south. They want peace talks because the southern court is too weak and is no match for the northern shogunate. As long as I can take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the north, the south will definitely not give in easily.
.Even if they have reached peace talks, the South may take this opportunity to split away again if the situation is not stable."
In this world, no one is willing to submit to others. Those who can submit to others must have no choice but to suffer.
Why did the Japanese southern court accept the peace talks? Isn't it because the north is powerful and they are not their opponents? Once Han Du destroys the strength of the north, it does not need to be completely destroyed, even part of it. As long as the strength of the north decreases, the south will definitely not
Instead of negotiating peace, they will continue to fight with the North.
If there are fights, there will be wars. If there are wars, people will die.
As long as the Japanese and Japanese sides continue to die and bleed, Han Du's goal will be achieved.
The news that the Ashikaga family's port had been occupied was spread back to Kyoto as soon as possible, causing an uproar in an instant. Although the Ashikaga port looked very crude in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, it was the largest port in the Northern Dynasties of Japan.
It is also the most important source of wealth for the Ashikaga family.
Now the source of wealth is cut off!
Countless Japanese people in Kyoto were quietly observing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's reaction, and even Nanchao took the initiative to spread the news back to Nanchao immediately.
Suddenly, the Japanese capital of Kyoto was in turmoil.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not disappoint the Japanese in Kyoto. Just one day later, he ordered the mobilization of samurai from Yamato, Kawachi, Izumi, and Kii to prepare for a decisive battle with outsiders.
Mobilizing tens of thousands of samurai at once was something that had never happened before in the war with the Southern Dynasties. Such a huge move allowed all the Japanese to see the strength of the Ashikaga Shogunate. Some even think that if it were not for these Ashikaga ports,
Occupied. If Ashikaga Shogun used these samurai to conquer the Southern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty would have no resistance at all.
At this moment, the Japanese in Kyoto, whether they were close to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu or those who hated him, were instantly silent.
Even Nanchao's master no longer moved around, but wanted to take a look first to see if Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could kill those people in one fell swoop and recapture the port.
If Ashikaga Yoshimitsu can win this battle, there is nothing to say. Even the Southern Dynasties will succumb to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's lust. But if Ashikaga Yoshimitsu loses this battle, he will suffer such heavy losses.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu may no longer have the energy to conquer the Southern Dynasties.
For a moment, the Japanese were all busy with their own thoughts, quietly observing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's movements.
Of course, an army of tens of thousands of people would not arrive at Ashikaga Port in an instant. But fortunately, Han Du had been waiting here. Therefore, after the army marched for more than ten days, it finally confronted Han Du.
Seeing that there were only more than a thousand people occupying the port, the Japanese who were observing secretly were immediately disappointed. They originally thought that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would encounter a fierce battle, but they did not expect that their opponents would do this.
So weak.
Is the opponent really weak? Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't think so. If he was really so weak, how could he easily capture the port and make the samurai who stayed at the port unable to even go back and report the news?
For the sake of caution, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu prepared to test the opponent's strength first. Drawing out a command talisman, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ordered five thousand samurai to attack Han Du and others.
Looking at the Japanese in the distance and shouting at him, Han Du was still in the mood to chat and laugh with Fang Xiaoru next to him. He pointed at the Japanese and said: "Look, this is the disadvantage of sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Even where we came from is unclear.
If you don't understand clearly, you dare to attack directly."
After finishing speaking, he turned to Jiang Ming and said, "There are tens of thousands of people on the other side. Are you sure?"
Jiang Ming looked through the telescope at the Japanese who were wearing robes made of bamboo and charging towards him with Japanese swords. He was speechless. How could such a thing be worthy of being his opponent? How many such rubbish could he have?
We can kill as many as we can tomorrow."
Jiang Ming put down his telescope and replied to Han Du with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou. I heard that Mr. Hou once led the Shanzi Battalion and abandoned his helmet and armor on the grassland against an opponent that could kill tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry.
Although the general is not talented, he will never disgrace the Marquis."
Han Du smiled and nodded lightly, stretched out his hand to take Fang Xiaoru away, Shi Ran left, and stepped onto the boat to get back on board.
Jiang Ming, on the other hand, led the naval officers and soldiers to prepare for the attack.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw that the opponent's battle formation was strictly regulated, so he did not dare to neglect it, and quickly ordered the samurai in front to form a formation to meet the enemy.
But just when everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, thinking that there would be an earth-shattering collision next, Jiang Ming actually turned his horse's head, took away the navy officers and fled in a swarm.
Escaped? The other party actually escaped like this?
Seeing this scene, the Japanese were stunned for a moment, and then nodded naturally. After all, there were only a thousand people on the other side, but they were facing tens of thousands of warriors. No matter who it was, they would choose to escape.
After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was stunned, an uncontrollable anger arose in his heart. It was his shame that he would be frightened by such a coward's formation. If the other party dared to humiliate him, then he would
It must be washed with the other person's blood.
He immediately drew out everyone's command talismans and ordered the entire army to come forward. Even Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself drew his Japanese sword, boosted his morale, and charged towards the opponent with large strides.
The other Japanese samurai were impatient for a long time. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had promised before coming here that this battle would seriously injure those who had done heroic deeds. Since they saw that their opponents only had more than a thousand people, these samurai were even less prepared to fight.
The other party took it seriously. They became restless one by one and wanted to make contributions. After all, there are only so many people now, but their competitors have tens of thousands, which is not enough. The principle of first come, first served, these Japanese still understand
of.
Now that they have finally obtained the order from Ashikaga General, naturally everyone is scrambling to be the first, fearing that others will take the credit and they will get nothing.
Jiang Ming led the navy officers and soldiers and retreated into the sea until the water reached their waists and had to stop.
The Japanese warriors who followed saw the enemy in a miserable state in the sea.
He looked like he was laughing happily. Without any hesitation, he continued to press towards the opponent with a ferocious smile on his face, hoping to drive the opponent into the sea and drown him alive.
But Jiang Ming, who was standing in the water, had a smile on his face and looked calmly at the densely packed Japanese rushing towards him like ants. He neither panicked nor retreated, and just stood quietly in the water, motionless.
Warships at sea have long loaded gunpowder into the barrel and loaded the cannonball into the chamber.
Han Du gave an order, and hundreds of cannons fired one after another.
Cannonballs flew over the heads of Jiang Ming and others. Jiang Ming was not frightened by the tens of thousands of Japanese warriors. Instead, he was startled by the cannonballs flying overhead. Although Jiang Ming knew this
The shells would not hit him, but just listening to the screams of the shells streaking through the air, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and his face turned dark.
Under the roar of the cannons, all the Japanese charges became meaningless. The entire port seemed to be repeating the process of the previous days, but this time there were much more people participating.
Han Du stood on the bow of the ship, ignoring the rumble of cannons in his ears, and loudly said to Fang Xiaoru: "Actually, I kind of like these Japanese now?"
When Fang Xiaoru heard Han Du's strange words, she didn't even bother to raise her Qi and asked in the same loud voice, "Why?"
Han Du raised his hand and pointed at the Japanese who were still charging, and said: "Look at these Japanese, they know that they are being bombarded by our cannons, but they still dare to line up and charge towards Jiang Ming and the others. Moreover,
Even though so many people died, none of them retreated.
You are so considerate. With such a posture, it is impossible for me not to blast them with cannons."
Fang Xiaoru also saw the Japanese charging towards the shells one after another. He looked at Han Du doubtfully and asked loudly: "Aren't they afraid of death?"
Han Du's ears were itched by the sound of the roaring cannon. He couldn't help but stretched out his fingers to dig, and flicked the things on his fingers. He said dismissively: "Where can there be people who are not afraid of death? It's just...
It’s just some ghostly spirit at work.”
"But," Fang Xiaoru glanced at the Japanese again and said with some worry: "These people are so fearless, they should not be underestimated."
"What should not be underestimated?" Han Du curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Within the range of the cannon, courage is of no use. If they dare to die, I will kill them and not bury them!"
"Kill as many as you come. I want to see how many people there are in Japan that I can kill."
Seeing that Han Du's attitude was so resolute, Fang Xiaoru stopped trying to persuade him.
The charge of tens of thousands of people seemed huge to others, but under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of cannons, it just lasted a little longer.
By the time the roar of artillery became sparse, and when the smoke from the battlefield dissipated, most of the tens of thousands of people had disappeared, turning into a huge blanket of flesh and blood spread out on the beach. The blanket was densely covered with injured people lying on the ground.
Only a few lucky ones were still standing. However, these people were frightened to the point of mental breakdown, or became crazy, wielding knives wantonly and hacking to death. In the end, they were hacked to death by others, or even hacked to death themselves.
.Or he becomes stupid and stupid, his mouth is drooling, and he looks like a complete fool.
Seeing that it was time to make up for the damage again, Jiang Ming
He led the soldiers to the shore in a few steps from the sea, and began a larger sweep of the battlefield.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not dead. He had better luck. He didn't even have a single scratch on his body. Just now he was rushing at the back, but when the cannon roared, he knew something was wrong and quickly stopped. Even so.
, there was also a cannonball flying in front of him. However, because the cannonball was exhausted and not moving very fast, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu dodged it sideways.
But this also frightened Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to the point where he almost lost his mind and quickly retreated a lot.
Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not injured at all, his heart was hurt more deeply than ever in his life. He even raised his sword and wanted to charge forward, thinking of simply dying here.
Fortunately, he was stopped by the guards on the left and right and forcibly dragged him away.
The news that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had defeated Ashikaga Port and that tens of thousands of samurai troops had been annihilated spread like the strongest hurricane in an instant throughout the entire Japanese kingdom.
Especially Emperor Gogeyama, who was in the Southern Dynasties, was even more happy after learning the news, and arranged a three-day and three-night celebration of singing and dancing.
Han Du did not pay attention to the reaction of the Japanese people at this moment, and did not even send people to hunt down Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Now, Han Du has something more important to do.
That is, Zhujingguan!
The flesh and blood of tens of thousands of Japanese people were used as the foundation, and tens of thousands of heads were used as mounds. Han Du built the Jingguan on a hillside.
And a stone tablet was erected with the words "The Marquis of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty set up a place in Beijing to watch here in order to avenge the murder of the envoys of the inferior Japanese country" in large blood-red characters.
After Han Du had already set sail and left again, the Japanese approached cautiously and saw these large vertical characters.
"Da Ming, it's actually Da Ming!"
"The envoy of the Ming Dynasty was killed? It seems that this happened, but that happened many years ago. I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would still remember it."
"This is revenge, Ming's revenge"
Han Du believed that after such an incident, the Japanese would never dare to kill Ming envoys without authorization again. If the Japanese still dared to do so, then Han Du would continue to kill them until they were all killed.
Even the news that Handu had defeated Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in Ashikaga Port was faster than Handu's sailing speed. When Handu docked in Ishimi County to rest, people from the Japanese and Southern Dynasties got the news and sent Handu all kinds of things.
Supplies and gifts. He even cordially invited Han Du to Yoshino, but Han Du refused.
Han Du has been away for more than two years, and now he is about to return to the Ming Dynasty. He is full of joy and thinks about the shadow of Anqing. How can he think about dealing with those people from the Japanese Kingdom and the Southern Dynasties?
Besides, I am the Marquis of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty, and even with the scumbag Emperor of the Southern Dynasty of Japan, I am worthy of being allowed to go forward to see him? He should take the initiative to come forward to see me.
Han Du did not stay too long in Shijian. After taking a rest, he set sail again and returned to the Ming Dynasty.
The Japanese country left behind by Han Du once again fell into more violent fragmentation. After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's defeat, he fell ill when he returned and died within a few months. It was enough for Yoshimitsu to die, and his subordinates
No one could suppress the general anymore, and the huge strength of the North was quickly divided by everyone. If it weren't for the Southern Dynasty, they themselves would have been able to fool them.
