Urakami Murakami couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and kowtowed to Chu Yi repeatedly: "I am willing, I am willing!"
The generals all showed disdain when they saw Urakami Muramune like this. However, Urakami Muramune seemed not to notice the disdain the generals had for him. When he looked at Chu Yi, his face was full of disdain.
Loyalty and fanaticism.
He waved his hand and signaled Urakami Muramune to leave. In the hall, a general looked away from Urakami Muramune's retreating figure and looked at Chu Yi and said: "General manager, this Urakami Muramune is by no means an ordinary person. I'm afraid
meeting……"
Chu Yi smiled slightly, what kind of person he was, how could he not see the true nature of Urakami Muramune, but Chu Yi didn't take it to heart.
With Urakami Muramune's wolf-like temperament, as long as he can keep suppressing the opponent, he doesn't have to worry about the other party's backlash one day. If used well, Urakami Muramune may not be a good sword.
"Don't worry, it's just a Urakami village clan. Since the governor dares to use him, he won't give him a chance to make a big difference!"
Lu Dazhu couldn't help laughing and said: "What His Highness said is true. How can a Pushang Village Sect turn the world upside down?"
As he spoke, Lu Dazhu said with a somewhat solemn look on his face: "Your Highness, I don't know if the civil and military officials of the DPRK will agree to your Majesty's permission to send troops and horses to help us. If not, I am afraid that we will be able to invade Kyoto.
I have to give up Kyoto too.”
The shortcomings of the shortage of men and horses have already emerged, because in a foreign country, many cities occupied must be guarded. If the troops are divided one by one, it is quite good to be able to destroy more than a dozen countries.
At this time, Japan had just begun the Warring States Period. The three heroes of the Warring States Period, such as Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tachibana Michizuki, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and other outstanding figures were either not yet born.
Or he was still a child, so the Warring States Period of Japan had not yet experienced decades of wars and tempered a group of soldiers and horses capable of fighting.
If Chu Yi guarded the mines and the cities he occupied without dividing his troops, with an army of 50,000, he could indeed overwhelm the entire Japan.
But in this way, there is no problem in pushing horizontally, but it is very difficult to occupy Japan. On the contrary, it is not as good as Chu Yi's current situation of conquering a country and then finding a way to occupy it.
After those dozen countries were destroyed, Chu Yi left soldiers and horses to sit on the ground. On the one hand, he searched for wealth, and on the other hand, he strangled the remnants of the resistance in these countries. It can be said that he was fighting steadily, and no big problems would occur under normal circumstances.
.
However, there is a big problem in this case, that is, the troops and horses brought by Chu Yi are seriously insufficient. A mere 50,000 troops and horses may seem like a lot, but if they are spread to Japan, they are somewhat insufficient.
After hearing Lu Dazhu's words, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and said with some confidence: "I don't believe that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are so short-sighted. Even if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are opposed to it, Your Majesty will definitely support us."
Chu Yi never worried that Zhu Houzhao would not support him, but if the civil and military officials of the dynasty did not agree, obviously Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, could forcefully issue an order to send troops. In that case, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, would have to endure a great deal.
pressure.
While Chu Yi was discussing with Lu Dazhu and other generals whether and when the imperial court would send troops, a group of soldiers were patrolling the port of Shijian State.
Shijian Kingdom was the first to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. With the efforts of the captured prisoners of war, the port of Shijian Kingdom was expanded several times, and a large number of caravans from the Ming Dynasty docked at the port.
More than half a year has passed, and it only takes one month to get from Japan to Daming. Half a year is enough to go back and forth two or three times.
When Yu Dayou led the vanguard army to rescue the Gu family caravan from the Japanese Japanese pirates, although the Gu family caravan suffered heavy losses, the Gu family uncle and nephew took the remaining merchant ships back to the Ming Dynasty smoothly.
With the goods brought back and the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver earned previously, although the Gu family lost several merchant ships and many capable people, they quickly recovered their strength with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in hand.
.
The Gu family actually traveled between Japan and Ming Dynasty several times in half a year, and each time they made a lot of profits.
The Huating City Shipping Company collected tens of thousands of taels of tax money from the Gu family alone. I don’t know how many people envied the Gu family’s luck. At the same time, it also attracted a large number of maritime merchants to Japan.
Through the mouths of the Gu family, these merchants learned that the port of Shijian Kingdom had fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty and that the Ming army was stationed there. Although only those merchant ships that paid taxes at several shipping companies in the Ming Dynasty could enter the Shijian Kingdom.
The port was anchored, but there were still many merchants coming to Shi Jianguo.
Half a year has passed, and the port of Ishijian Country has prospered several times. At a glance, the entire port seems to be almost full of merchant ships.
Above the sea, a large black ship appeared at the end of the line of sight. When he noticed people coming from the sea, Qi Jingtong, who was in charge of Shi Jianguo, appeared at the port.
Qi Jingtong's ability is not outstanding among the generals, but he has one advantage, that is, he is stable. That's why Chu Yi gave Qi Jingtong such an important place as Shi Jianguo to take charge.
At this moment, Qi Jingtong looked solemnly at the large ships on the sea. Soon Qi Jingtong's expression changed, and his face showed a bit of joy.
Through the telescope, Qi Jingtong saw the blurry hulls gradually becoming clearer, and at the same time he saw the bright sun and moon flag flying high on the ship.
After recognizing the bright sun and moon flag, Qi Jingtong naturally guessed the origin of those ships on the sea. Needless to say, these ships were reinforcements sent by the imperial court.
Qi Jingtong could only be heard giving the order with some rest: "All the officers and soldiers listened to the order and immediately ordered all the merchant ships from the port to leave the port to provide a place for the imperial army to enter the port."
Soon the desolate horn sound echoed in the port. One ship owner after another heard the horn sound and looked at the flag sent by Qi Jingtong. Although these ship owners said they were very puzzled, few of them dared to ignore Qi Jingtong.
The command.
Qi Jingtong is a person who is valued by Chu Yi. If Qi Jingtong is offended, if the other party says a few bad words to them in front of Chu Yi, then they may no longer have a foothold in the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, Qi Jingtong is valued by Chu Yi. Even a fool can see that Qi Jingtong has a bright future and will definitely become one of the nobles in the future. If he offends Qi Jingtong at this time, he is not causing trouble for himself.
When almost 90% of the merchant ships in the port left the port and gave up their docking positions, ships carrying a hundred thousand troops commanded by Zhai Luan also entered the port.
On the flagship, Zhai Luan was stroking his beard and looking at the scene around him. Especially when he saw a port of this size, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "I never thought that Japan would have such a big port!"
Yu Dayou, who was standing next to Zhai Luan, shook his head slightly and said: "The commander's words are wrong. It is impossible for the Japanese barbarian country to repair such a large port. In fact, His Highness King Wu sent people to supervise 50,000 slaves to build this port, which took several hours.
It took months to build.”
Even though they had known for a long time that Chu Yi had done great things in Japan, they never expected that even this port was built under the orders of Chu Yi.
There was a bang, and the ship's hull shook, but it landed safely.
When Yu Dayou, Zhai Luan and a group of generals slowly walked down from the flagship, Qi Jingtong was standing there on the shore, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.
Qi Jingtong is no stranger to Yu Dayou. Compared with him who suddenly fell in love with Chu Yi when he was in his thirties or forties, Yu Dayou came into Chu Yi's sight when he was only a teenager and was highly valued by Chu Yi.
No matter how you look at it, Yu Dayou has a brighter future.
"General Yu, you're fine!"
While joking, Qi Jingtong stepped forward, looked past Yu Dayou, and naturally fell on Zhai Luan. He was stunned for a moment and immediately recognized Zhai Luan.
Zhai Luan had also been in the court for more than ten years. Although he and Qi Jingtong had no friendship or contact, they knew each other.
Qi Jingtong wondered why Zhai Luan came to the chaotic land of Japan, but he looked at Zhai Luan with some respect and said: "Qi Jingtong has met Mr. Zhai!"
At this moment, Yu Dayou said to Qi Jing: "General Qi, Master Zhai is the commander-in-chief of the army personally appointed by His Majesty..."
Obviously Yu Dayou was reminding Qi Jingtong.
Qi Jingtong has been in the officialdom for decades, and he is not a fool at all. When he reacted, he saluted Zhai Luan and said, "Qi Jingtong, the last general, has met Marshal Zhai!"
Zhai Luan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Zhai has heard of General Qi's name for a long time. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. The general manager really has a keen eye for recognizing talents!"
Zhai Luan didn't dare to put on any airs when facing Qi Jingtong. It's hard to say that in Chu Yi's heart, his status may not be as important as Qi Jingtong's, so Zhai Luan is very smart, even if he is personally appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army by the emperor.
He is arrogant and has no intention of oppressing others with his status.
Qi Jingtong smiled and shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, that's ridiculous."
While joking, a group of generals also disembarked from the ship. Zhai Luan personally arranged for a group of generals to urge the soldiers to disembark.
Being floating on the sea for almost half a month is really unbearable for most people. These soldiers did not cause any trouble on the way, but it was quite good.
But now that we have finally arrived in Japan, it’s time to go ashore and recuperate.
Just when hundreds of ships were docked at the port, a sea ship gradually appeared on the sea. It seemed that it had always been behind the army.
If someone looks carefully with a telescope, they will find that the flag hanging on the ship is embroidered with a flame that looks like it is dancing.
On the bow of the ship, a figure stood there, with her red clothes blowing in the sea breeze and her long hair fluttering. At first glance, she looked like a peerless beauty, alone in the world.
Standing on the side with a low eyebrow and a submissive look is the Shangguan Yun, who is famous in the world. If people see that Shangguan Yun, who has a notorious reputation, looks like a sheep, his eyes will probably fall out.
"Leader, we are here!"
After saying these words, Shangguan Yun felt like he breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, floating on the sea for more than half a month was simply a kind of torture for Shangguan Yun.
Shangguan Yun has really never gone to sea. Fortunately, Shangguan Yun's carefully selected sailors are not bad. Otherwise, I am afraid they would have been destroyed behind Zhai Luan's army.
The person standing on the bow of the boat is none other than the Lord of the Sun and Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai.
There was no need for Shangguan Yun to remind Dongfang Bubai that when he saw the ships in front docked at the port and a large number of soldiers and horses disembarking from the ships, he already knew that Japan had arrived.
After all, Dongfang Bubai came here for Chu Yi, and he had some information about Japan before coming.
According to the intelligence, Chu Yi was not in Shijian Kingdom, but was setting out with the army. According to Dongfang Bubai's judgment, if nothing unexpected happened, Chu Yi was most likely leading his army to attack Kyoto at this time.
Thinking of Chu Yi, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but look forward to it. He had made great progress in cultivation and thought that Chu Yi was the only one in the world who could fight with him. So even though Chu Yi was far away in Japan, Dongfang Bubai still chose to travel thousands of miles away.
, across the ocean, came to Japan to find Chu Yi.
Dongfang Bubai said calmly: "Enter the port and dock!"
Although such a ship is very inconspicuous, and it can even be said that if it blends into the merchant ships, it will not attract attention. However, when it comes to Dongfang Bubai's ship, neither Zhai Luan nor Yu Dayou and others are relaxed.
Monitor.
Even if the army is sailing on the sea, with such a ship behind it, if it was just an ordinary merchant ship at the beginning, Yu Dayou and Zhai Luan might not care about it, but as time goes by, other fleets set off together.
The merchant ships chose to leave one by one, but only this one ship stayed behind the army.
For more than half a month, the ships of Dongfang Invincible stayed behind the army. It was like an army marching, but there were people following behind the army.
Although Zhai Luan and Yu Dayou did not send anyone to investigate the other party's identity, they did send people to keep an eye on the ship's every move.
Now that Dongfang Bubai's ship entered the port, Yu Dayou and Zhai Luan looked at each other. Zhai Luan nodded slightly towards Yu Dayou. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding. Yu Dayou said to Qi Jingtong: "General Qi, please send me
Please find out where that ship came from?"
Although I don't believe that a mere ship can have any impact on the army, who made Dongfang Bubai's car always stay behind the army? It would be strange if Yu Dayou and Zhai Luan ignored it at this time.
Qi Jingtong was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that Zhai Luan and Yu Dayou would be interested in a ship. However, Qi Jingtong was just stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said: "This is easy, I will send someone to investigate!"
All ships that enter the port must report and register at the port of Shijian State, otherwise they will not be able to enter the port at all. Qi Jingtong is in charge of Shijian State, especially at the port, and it could not be easier to check the origin of a ship.
