Ji Xiang watched this scene from the side like a shadow god.
Ji Xiang didn't know the character of the successors of North Korea, but he also didn't care.
No matter who becomes the king of North Korea, as long as it has nothing to do with Gyeongnyeong Palace, then anyone can do it.
Guanghaijun was just one of the people who took the initiative to show his kindness, and he was very well-informed. He knew that his father had been to the ancestral temple before he disappeared. Although he didn't know what happened, he concluded that it was related to his ancestral temple, but at the beginning
He thought that the Japanese Onmyoji had arranged some strange tricks in the ancestral temple.
When Ji Xiang met him, and he hoped to use Ji Xiang's support to stabilize the status of the crown prince in exchange for recognition from the Ming Dynasty, the two parties hit it off immediately.
After hearing some secrets about Jinling Palace from Ji Xiang's mouth, the prince's expression became very exciting.
There was an emperor and a courtier. The former emperor is not the current emperor. The vassal country has just experienced a war. Even if you want to take back your own rights from the suzerain country, you have to wait for the opportunity. If you rush out so hastily, you will be crushed to pieces. What's the point?
What about the future?
Ji Xiang left here, not caring about the noisy farce of ascending to immortality behind him, and the blood child also followed Ji Xiang beside him. After the shadow god was dispersed, a cloud fell from the sky.
"Master Shibo, there is news from the court. Your Majesty and the Heavenly Master have a decree."
The Little Heavenly Master could not detect Ji Xiang's existence before and was flying around in the sky. Only now could he sense Ji Xiang's position.
"I am waiting for the monks to prepare to return home."
The little Celestial Master sounded strange: "But the generals who are stationed in the fields are still stationed here, and regarding the arrangements after returning to China, Master Shi... there are some things that His Majesty and the Celestial Master want to discuss with you."
"As for us, we are all staying in Shuntian, ready to be dispatched at any time."
The little Celestial Master showed a tired look: "The war in Korea almost ended in the west. After returning to China, it seems like there is still a big war to be fought."
"Grandpa is good at calling people."
Ji Xiang looked puzzled: "Could it be...that it's a problem of Tatar invasion?"
Originally, the power of the Ming Dynasty was in decline, and the national destiny was in danger, like Mount Tai collapsing and the sea drying up. It was not far away from its demise. However, it later forcibly regained its life. However, although the national destiny was restored, the wars in all directions would not.
So it stopped.
We still have to fight what needs to be fought, and there are various reasons for foreign enemies.
I heard that the Northern Tatars have repeatedly harassed the important towns of Jiubian in recent years, and not long ago they even rushed to the Great Wall. Therefore, Li Rusong, who was conquering North Korea, was transferred to the north to fight the enemy, and the famous pit teammate General Yang Hao was here to replace Li Rusong.
Location.
"I don't know, maybe, it's said that something big happened over there."
The little Celestial Master swayed his azure robe, turned around and looked around, and especially used the art of looking for energy. He then approached Ji Xiang, who listened to him, and the Little Celestial Master whispered: "
Uncle Master, please don't spread it randomly."
"Li Rusong is dead."
Ji Xiang's eyes were slightly solemn.
Counting the time, it seemed that it was almost this time. I didn't pay attention to this matter before. Ji Xiang only remembered that this person died in the battle with the Tatars. He remembered the specific time in Mohu. He didn't expect that he died so quickly.
.
"Although I have never met him, I have heard about him. He was fifty years old and in his prime. Could it be that he was attacked and killed by Tatars?"
The little heavenly master nodded: "I originally used three thousand light cavalry to attack Huanglong, but I encountered tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers and horses. I heard that there were also incredible monks among them who participated in the battle. It was difficult for them to fight with four hands, so they died like this.
, I didn’t even figure out who the other party was.”
"Not to mention a hero, at least he was a famous general. He died so easily."
It was inevitable for a general to die on the battlefield, and Li Rusong was one of the few famous generals in this period who could take the lead. Unexpectedly, he died in the hands of an unknown person without even seeing him. Ji Xiang was also quite sad, while the little Tianshi was gushing.
Absolutely:
"I had read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in my spare time before. The same thing happened when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei died. Those who killed them were also unknown people. They only became famous because of killing them."
"It's a pity that no one knows the person who killed General Li. He didn't name himself. He was afraid of being targeted by the great monks of our court, so he was very cautious."
Ji Xiang: "I have no friendship with Li Rusong and have never met each other, but the general has died and there is no one to guard the north. Now that the Korean War has only lasted for two months, it is time to send people back to look after Beiting."
The little Heavenly Master nodded, suddenly put on a happy face, and even said with some gloating:
"Uncle Master, there is another big thing! Our Jinyiwei Xisaku in Japan has received news that there seems to be another war there, and the fighting is getting fierce now. 1
It turns out that Hideyoshi did not die in this plane, but was made into an artificial god. Ieyasu, Terumoto, and Nagamasa were three people, one traitor and two rebels, who would betray the Qing emperor at any time. This was what happened when Japan returned to Japan after defeating the war, and what happened in Sekigahara
A joint war is out of the question now.
But there are still new wars emerging.
"Oh, what's going on?"
Ji Xiang was very curious.
The Little Heavenly Master explained the causes and consequences of this new war.
This reason is precisely the "Purge War" caused by the rebellion of "Hideaki Kobayakawa", "Yoshihiro Shimazu" and others.
"The specific situation is not clear. It is difficult for Kinyiwei Shosaku to obtain more accurate information. I only know that Ieyasu and the others were ordered by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to cleanse the families of the traitors in the Korean War. Those families did not want to sit still and wait for death, so they started fighting with Hideyoshi.
Already."
The information that the Little Heavenly Master knows is limited, but the general information, as well as the movements and reactions of the various forces, are still very clear.
.......
Japan at this time.
Because many Japanese generals on the Korean battlefield suddenly rebelled, all their clan forces in the country were implicated. Hideyoshi ordered Ieyasu and the others to cleanse these traitors. However, Ieyasu and others openly led the army to conquer, but secretly gave these
Families and forces went crazy to spread the word. Not only did they send people to secretly inform the enemy, but they also gave the other side time to organize their troops to move in.
As for Xu Fu, he did not care about this matter and let Hideyoshi handle it with full authority. After all, for a leader of the Kingdom of God, betrayers should indeed be purged.
Hideyoshi was also worried that the population would decrease with more killings, so he gave Ieyasu an order to capture most of them alive if they could, and it would be best to make them surrender as a whole.
Ieyasu replied that he had received it, but then he repeatedly failed, and it suddenly became a 50-50 situation.
The general of the Eastern Army is still Ieyasu, but the general of the rebel army is the Kobayakawa family. When he got the news of "Hideaki"'s rebellion, the head of the Kobayakawa family, Takakage, who was about to die, secretly asked people everywhere to look for a life-prolonging medicine.
, at this time, after taking the life-extending medicine, he dragged his body that was about to be buried and took up the post of general of the rebel army.
However, the purpose of the rebels was not to defeat Ieyasu's army, but to escape across the sea.
"There is nothing left to miss in Japan. If you stay here any longer, let alone the land and houses, your own life and even your soul will not be saved. Take advantage of the fact that Emperor Jimmu doesn't care about our little fight.
, contact the Ming Dynasty secretly, use North Korea or Ryukyu as a transit, and flee to the Ming Dynasty."
"Only in this way can the fire of the family be preserved. You must remember to take revenge on Hideyoshi in the future."
The Kobayakawa family and the Yoshikawa family are actually branches of the Maori family, but with their status as branch families, they can sit as one of the five elders and are on an equal footing with the head of the Maori clan, Terumoto Mori. Takakage is certainly an extraordinary figure.
Regarding his plan to escape to the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Yoshikawa family was puzzled and complained a little:
"If Xiuqiu hadn't rebelled as a general of the Western Route Army of the Imperial Army, we wouldn't have ended up like this! It's just that we just finished the war with the Ming Dynasty and are now on the run. If the Ming Dynasty does not accept us, where will we go?
?”
Kobayakawa Takakage responded in a weak tone: "It's okay, even if the Ming Dynasty does not accept it, we can go south to Nanyang and go to the Ming Dynasty's Old Port Xuanwei Division in Luzon. The Ming Dynasty has banned the sea for many years, and has control over the Old Port Xuanwei Division
Extremely weak. We only say they are sea traders who escaped from Japan. No one will be suspicious of them. There are sea escapees to Luzon every year, from the East, from the West, and those red-bearded Francois.
, the Dutch are everywhere.”
"With our strength, we can live well in Luzon. However, if we can enter the Ming Dynasty, we will have the opportunity to use the Ming Dynasty to counterattack Honshu Island in the future. Once the liquidation is successful in the future, the family can continue for hundreds of years."
"Going to Luzon is just a matter of letting fate develop. The name of that place is the Old Port Xuanwei Division, but in fact it is already the territory of the Franco people. Although it is very prosperous because there are all kinds of people, it is also that
The land is also very chaotic."
Both paths have their own pros and cons, but in short, the sea is so big. As long as you can leave the Kingdom of God, you don't have to worry about Xu Fu's revenge. Hideyoshi can't let Ieyasu take so many fleets to sea to capture himself and others. Of course, due to the rebellion,
The number of troops is also large, and many large ships must be gathered to carry tens of thousands of troops away.
So the head of the Yoshikawa family asked about this matter.
"This is also arranged."
"There is a priest who is willing to provide us with an escape fleet."
Kobayakawa Takakage's weak face also gained a certain glow: "When I learned about Hideaki's rebellion, I realized that something big was going to happen. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty sage came here and made a big fuss, so that Hideyoshi and others were temporarily gone.
Thinking of our current situation, plus the fact that Xiubao, the adopted son of the Maori family, and I are still fighting in Korea and have not betrayed, we have not moved our minds for the time being. It is only now after the war that we have begun to liquidate."
"In the eleventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, a group of priests came here to preach. Later, when Hideyoshi sent people to hunt down the missionaries, a chief priest named Ba Fanji escaped. I don't know where he was hiding, but it is said that
What he said was the secret of God that protected him from hiding here and never left, and he is not an idle person."
"Hideyoshi captured Christian priests because they had mastered the secrets of God. Originally, these priests were unwilling to hand over, so Hideyoshi used military force to capture them."
"Many of the demons and demons of the Ghost and God Way, including the current spells of the Ghost and God Way, were cultivated with reference to the secret arts of God at that time."
"All methods are unified and the strong points are used to make up for the shortcomings. After those priests were thoroughly studied, they had no use value and were naturally executed."
"There is no need to pursue the remaining priests. In order to ease relations with foreign countries, we will no longer pursue these people. Many of Bafanji's comrades were captured and killed. He hated Hideyoshi deeply. This is
One of the evils that Hideyoshi himself planted for himself."
The head of the Yoshikawa family looked happy: "This is very good 1
Long Jing continued: "This priest is willing to take us to Shuntian. It is said that he has a colleague who became a high official in the Ming Dynasty, named Matteo Ricci. He can introduce us to him."
Everything has been arranged, and Ieyasu's side is also putting the blame on the attack. Mouri and Kuroda are even more ineffective. The situation continues to evolve in an unknown direction in a strange atmosphere, and Hideyoshi is very angry about this.
.
"Listen to me, Ieyasu! I'll give you ten days to prepare. Within this month, I want you to launch a decisive battle against the rebels, especially the Kobayakawa family! And defeat them all! If you can't do it,
I will kill you and hang your body on the top of the Kyoto Imperial Castle1
Ieyasu did not see Hideyoshi, but learned the news from the shrine envoy who came here.
After Mori and Kuroda learned about it, they talked secretly in private, thinking that Hideyoshi must have something important to do now that he couldn't get away from. He had previously said that he would attack Ryukyu, but now he was held back by the rebels.
"I remember Hideyoshi said that to seize Ryukyu's national destiny, he must do something major related to the ascension of the Kingdom of God. Now that there is no way to deal with the rebels, he must be repairing the national destiny of the Kingdom of God."
"But if he is angered, he may actually take action himself, and the consequences we don't want to see."
Terumoto Mouri didn't want to watch his own brothers being killed by Hideyoshi, so he couldn't fish anymore. Taking the initiative to attack was also a way to keep them alive. At the worst, he could just kill half of them and let them go.
On the other hand, Ieyasu thought the same way.
"Their preparations should be almost complete, and I have almost used up all my excuses for various illnesses. I can take this opportunity to communicate with the Ming Dynasty."
Next to Ieyasu, a priest dressed in Western clothes was here. Listening to Ieyasu's questions, he kept nodding his head to indicate that everything had been arranged.
"Father Tomoe, it's all up to you. If one day I can become Guanbai and rule the world, when Emperor Jimmu dies, I will definitely open the door to Christianity for you. I swear here, there will be no jokes."
"I can trust Mr. Tokugawa's morality."
Bafanji convinced Tokugawa Ieyasu of his sailing skills, and even if there were sea monsters, they would not be able to get the Kobayakawa family into the sea.
"Then when will the decisive battle be launched next? If we want Hideyoshi to see clearly and stabilize his restless and vicious heart, we must attack as soon as possible and cannot delay and let them run away."
"Two days later! I will lead the army across the sea, enter Shikoku and Kyushu, and start a decisive battle."
