Yang Feng stood on the deck of the battleship riding the wind and waves.
Surrounding him are countless bright and dark lights, representing battleships, riding the wind and waves in the sparkling waves.
Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized more than 500 warships of various types for this expedition against Japan. More than 200 of them were new gunboats, which were equipped with thousand-jin rapid-fire cannons. The tonnage ranged from the maximum of 4,000 to the minimum of 1,000.
Calculated, it is equivalent to more than one thousand to three hundred.
Of course, there are only three ships with 4,000 yuan, and they are Zhu Di, Zhu Shou, and Yang Wen.
They are the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief.
But in fact, because there were too many warships, it was impossible to rush them all at the same time, so they were divided into five armies.
Zhu Di's middle army, Zhu Shou's left army, and Yang Wen's right army.
In the former army, the governor was Zhang Rong.
His father was Zhang He, the Marquis of Navigation, but he did not inherit the title of Marquis of Navigation.
The rear army was led by Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin.
The next landing points are also different. Zhang Rongbu's mission is to land on Sado Island and establish a base there in advance. This kind of ocean landing must occupy an anchorage in advance to avoid having no place to retreat if the landing does not go smoothly. And Zhu Di's
The Chinese army went straight to Niigata, but that place is definitely not called Niigata now. After Yang Feng played with swords and invaded Japan last time, that area was purged, which was an advantage for the Uesugi family. Kanto commander Uesugi Toamune implemented foreign police in Echigo and Echichu.
A large number of fortifications were built in that area. It is hard to say exactly where this kind of navigation based on the wind direction will blow. In short, Zhu Di's central army setting is Niigata.
And Yang Wen’s goal is to go to Shangyue.
Zhu Shou's goal was Hegang. After landing, he did not join Zhu Di, but attacked eastward.
His opponents are chaotic forces like Mogami, Ashina, and Date.
The main opponent is Date Masamune.
Of course, this is not a one-eyed dragon. Two of the Date family members are named Date Masamune. The eight-generation ancestor of the one-eyed dragon is also named Date Masamune, and like him, he is also very dishonest.
They all have backbones on the back of their heads.
Therefore, Zhu Shou does not necessarily have to fight. If Zhu Yuanzhang is offered his favor, this guy might switch sides.
Because a few years later he joined forces with the Ashina clan of Tsu to rebel.
In short, Zhu Shou's task is to appease these messy people and prevent them from threatening Zhu Di's main force from the north during the decisive battle. Yang Wen's task after landing is to control the Shangyue passage, clear out the surrounding enemies, and then join Zhu Di's army, and then along the
Take the Joetsu line and march into the Kanto Plain.
Go straight to Kamakura.
At the same time, he surrendered to Kamakura Duke Ashikaga Mitsuru.
As long as he promised to make him the king of Japan once he surrendered, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had no other choice but to fight with all his strength.
Shiman is his cousin.
Very ambitious.
As Kamakura Duke, he is the equivalent of the governor of the Ashikaga family in Kanto, and he governs the entire Kanto. Although it is actually symbolic, and the real power is to govern Kanto, but if the Ming Dynasty makes him the Japanese king, then the Ashikaga family and the daimyo of various places will
There will really be a large number of people who will betray Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately. Then Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will have to resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, turn into fighting with his roommate under the support of the Ming Dynasty, and then evolve into a melee among the Japanese princes. Besides, they are just a melee among the princes in the first place.
But recently, because he is too strong, he is taking a break for the time being.
So he has no other choice.
The Ming army must be defeated in a decisive battle with all its strength.
To win is to overcome the crisis.
fail……
If he fails, I'm afraid he will surrender before his cousin does.
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy.
The premise of this strategy is that he finally analyzed the situation of Japan through the information he found through Yang Feng, plus the confessions of some Japanese prisoners. In fact, he was not prepared to take risks. He would not do what Hu Yuan did in the past in a muddle-headed way.
, not only the strategy was clarified, but also the landing was because Yang Feng had already stepped in for him last time.
Landing operations are systems engineering.
I don’t know the depth of the water, I don’t know the tide, I don’t know what season and what wind direction...
That's a crapshoot!
I rushed over in a daze, but before I could get off the boat, the tide suddenly receded.
Then all the boats got stuck on the beach.
Didn’t Yi Sun-shin use this to win?
But during the last time Daoyi invaded, Yang Wen and the Ming army had already checked everything out for Zhu Yuanzhang. Now they are just copying the last operation and enlarging the scale.
It can be said to be foolproof.
The rest depends on the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers.
This was directly ignored by His Majesty the Emperor. Based on the strength shown by the Japanese pirates before, in a real head-on battle, especially in the wild, it can be said that any force he defeated before is capable of violently defeating the Japanese, let alone the Mongols. Chen Youliang
These strong ones, Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding and others can crush the Japanese.
So this is not a problem. As long as the army can be transported there and a stable landing zone and a steady supply line are established, then the Ming army can crush it with its strength.
What's more, there are rapid-fire cannons and the like now.
"The cannons are firing to blast his mother, and the giant whale is swallowing the fusang!"
You are so talented!”
Dai Gui was amazed.
This poem has been circulated in various armies.
Qi Bin's troops were also on this expedition. He was the deputy general of Zhu Shou's left army. He was just the commander of the capital. In this expedition with King Yan as the commander, he could only be a deputy general. This was an army of hundreds of thousands.
Although there were not that many actual landing operations during the expedition, the total number of naval forces manning the ships alone was more than 50,000, and the actual number of landing operations was 60,000.
The eleven guards under the command of Beiwadu, Shandong Province sent a total of 10,000 troops.
This is also the core of Zhu Shou's left army.
Therefore, these two lines of poems plagiarized by Yang Feng from poet Zhang Da were also circulated in the army.
"Why, can't I compose poetry?"
Ambassador Yang touched his mustache and said reservedly.
The little beauty on the side looked at him with admiration.
He named this one Chun Ji, since they all liked to call her Ji.
Later, we will make a Summer Princess, a Qiu Princess, and a Winter Princess.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter!
As for identity, just be a maid!
Since she was a maid, of course I followed her. I was originally worried that she would get seasick, but after getting on the boat, I realized that getting on the boat was just like going home...
She is a fisherman's girl.
In order to please Zhu Di, Li Chenggui selected these beauties from a nationwide audition. To put it simply, they searched for stunning beauties among the people from all over the country. They had to follow the standards for selecting beauties for him, and then sent them to him for secondary screening. But Li Chenggui was like this
It's not entirely to show his respect for Zhu Di. In fact, it's more because he really doesn't have that many beauties. He offers them every year. Last time, he was blackmailed by Yang Feng. Now he really doesn't have so many beauties. He can only
Conducting nationwide auditions to collect data. I have to say that in a small country like his, only female donors are the only ones. But if this continues, all North Korean beauties will be sent to the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, only some crooked melons and split dates will be left to pass on the genes.
Already.
In short, Haruhime was forcibly captured from a small fishing village.
Then because I won the audition, I went through half a year of etiquette training, which was mainly about whitening. After all, my skin color did look a bit bad due to the sea breeze in the past, but the beauty pageant officials are all experienced and they don’t have high requirements for skin color.
Isn’t it easy to think about it?
They were kept in a closed house without sunlight for half a year, and they were fed fine food every day to ensure that all of them would turn white.
What matters is body and face.
In short, she became a beauty presented to King Yan...
Sure enough, traditions must be passed on.
"Although your poem is not as good as mine, it is still very powerful. And the giant whale swallowed the fusang, and we are the giant whale swallowing the fusang. King Yan conquered the east and wiped out the Japanese pirates, and the Ming Dynasty coast has been peaceful since then."
Dai Gui said.
"It seems that you admire King Yan very much!"
Yang Feng said.
"The king is the most like your majesty among the kings. He is invincible in battles and treats his soldiers with kindness at home. This way he is naturally respected by others."
Dai Gui said.
He was not afraid of Yang Feng snitching.
In fact, although everyone is not very happy with Yang Feng's arrogance, they still respect his character. For example, he never hurts people from behind, but does it in front of others. Although he looks lustful, he actually looks like the people around him.
This kind of little beauty can do whatever she wants, but she can control it. Even by the standards of a Confucian scholar, she can be considered a gentleman. Although she seems to be greedy for money, she actually does not keep any personal wealth at all, and she never hesitates to spend money on her subordinates.
Giving workers wages, food, clothing, and even medical care is a real thing.
It is praised by all the people in the capital.
Not to mention that the last time I distributed money directly in the capital was a feat.
This is a trustworthy person.
Of course, many of his weird words and deeds need to be ignored.
"But he is the feudal king after all."
Yang Feng said.
"Yes, he is the feudal king after all!"
Dai Gui said.
Of course, the two people have completely different meanings.
What Yang Feng said was that he was a vassal king and he had to uphold his duties as a vassal king. What Dai Gui said was that he was a vassal king, so it should be confirmed. They are all descendants of His Majesty the Emperor, and everyone in the world should have a share.
It was obvious that these generals felt unfair for Zhu Di.
King Yan was suppressed too hard.
"I am the country!"
Yang Feng patted his shoulder and said.
After saying this, this guy put his arm around the little beauty's shoulders...
"Come on, beauty, let's not hang out with this fool here!"
he said.
Then they walked towards Yang Feng's cockpit.
Behind him, Dai Gui sighed melancholy.
I am the country.
The Ming Dynasty belongs to the emperor after all.
Domain king?
If the emperor gives it to you, you are the vassal king. If the emperor does not give it to you, you can only endure it honestly, even if you are a biological uncle. The emperor is the real owner of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how powerful or suffering you are.
No amount of respect can change this.
It is true that your father conquered the world, but the throne is not yours, so you can only be a minister.
You are not a king.
You can only accept your decision.
I'm depreesed!
But this is reality.
Yang Feng walked into his cabin with the little beauty in his arms.
This is a sea-going ship with thousands of materials. It is allocated exclusively to Yang Feng. He only has himself and Dai Gui with a hundred soldiers to protect him, so there is no need to waste a big ship. The best position on the ship is on the stern.
Of course, the building belongs to Yang Feng. There are not only bedrooms but also a living room inside. After entering, the little beauty looked at him expectantly.
"This guy is acting a little weird."
Yang Feng stroked his mustache and said.
Dai Gui's behavior is indeed a bit abnormal. Although everyone is considered a good brother, saying these words in front of him is still not in line with his IQ.
Good brothers are one thing. On this kind of political issue, it would be really stupid to tell the truth. What's more, compared to the Ming Dynasty, he is actually an outsider, so he can't say this, but now Dai Gui is not stupid.
It's very abnormal for a guy to do such stupid things in front of him.
"Take off your clothes!"
he said.
The little beauty shyly took off her cotton-padded jacket, as if she were peeling a banana by herself, and then continued...
"alright!"
Yang Feng said.
The little beauty looked at him blankly.
Then he took out something and kept blowing there. After blowing it up, he stuffed it into something made of sealskin that looked like clothing. If one was not enough, he continued to blow. Finally, he blew six in total and stuffed them into that thing.
That thing also turned into a bulging life jacket.
And it's still warm.
Double layer sealskin.
He immediately put it on her and tied it tightly with a belt.
"That's what you're wearing tonight!"
he said.
This is something wrong!
He suddenly realized that he had overlooked one thing.
If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill him, this sea seems to be the best place. Even if he can't be killed, he can still be buried in the belly of a fish, and even if he finds out and wants to run, he has no place to run. He has been sailing for nearly 20 hours now.
With the current wind strength and direction, the speed must be at least six or seven knots, and the distance to the nearest coast must be more than two hundred kilometers.
It can be said to be a good place to destroy corpses and eliminate traces.
Dai Gui is definitely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
We are all brothers, but after all, he is also Zhu Yuanzhang's military commander. If Zhu Yuanzhang orders him to kill himself, even if he doesn't want to do it, he will eventually do it. After all, if he doesn't do it, Lao Zhu will have his house confiscated and his family destroyed. Now Lao Zhu must have
I want to deal with him. What happened to King Qi last time was that he deliberately chose to give in when he was sure that it was difficult to succeed, and then paralyzed him and lowered his vigilance. But if it was on such a vast sea, it would be almost foolproof.
.
"Damn it, what is supposed to come will eventually come!"
He quickly organized his equipment and looked outside under Haruji's blank gaze.
On the pitch-black sea, the lights representing other battleships were dim.
They are yawing.
"Walk!"
He picked up his backpack and said.
Then he went straight out, with Chun Ji following him blankly. Soon he went down to the second floor, where was Dai Gui's cockpit. He simply walked to Dai Gui's door and kicked it open.
Dai Gui, who was holding a wine glass inside, raised his head calmly.
"Are you here to have a drink with me?"
he said.
"Your emperor asked you to kill me?"
Yang Feng asked.
"There is no imperial decree."
Dai Gui shook his head.
"I understand, it's an oral instruction!
So no matter what you plan to do, you should know that you can't kill me.
Poison?
This is unlikely."
Yang Feng said.
Dai Gui held a wine glass in one hand and walked up to him...
"Brother, I'm sorry for you, but after all, some things cannot be controlled by one's own control. Dai and his son have been loyal to His Majesty for two generations. In the end, personal friendship cannot be used to sacrifice justice. Brother, I can only go on the road with you."
He raised his glass and said.
Yang Feng took a deep look at him, picked up Chun Ji and jumped out of the window. Dai Gui drank it all sadly. The moment Yang Feng jumped out, the deck under their feet turned into an erupting volcano...
