As the highest-ranking member of the Emperor's subordinates, Tian Yuan Kojiro was drawing a beautiful blueprint for the Emperor. Suddenly someone refuted him in this way, which naturally made Tian Yuan Kojiro angry. He turned to look at the other person.
I saw Tagen Kojiro looking at the other party and sneered: "Who do you think I am? It turns out to be Shonagon, Yoshikawa Nagahide. Please tell me, what is ridiculous about what I said?"
Obviously, Kojiro Tiangen was irritated by Yoshikawa Nagahide. He drew a blueprint for the emperor, and all the other officials expressed their approval. However, Yoshikawa Nagahide had the lowest status among everyone, but he acted like everyone was drunk but he was the only one awake.
His posture, or at least his face, made Kojiro Tian Geng very dissatisfied.
Although Yoshikawa Nagahide's status is the lowest among the people, outsiders, he is still a high-ranking official.
Besides, being able to appear here proves that Yoshikawa Nagahide is a confidant of the emperor. Otherwise, Yoshikawa Nagahide would not be qualified to appear here.
Emperor Gokashiwara took a deep breath, glanced at Tagen Kojiro, then smiled slightly and said to Yoshikawa Nagahide: "Yoshikawa-kun, since you are opposed to the proposal of the Great Internal Affairs, why don't you tell me why you are opposed to it?"
Being able to gather such a group of people under his command, it is obvious that Emperor Gokashiwara is not an easy person. The decline of the Ashikaga family, which has ruled Japan for hundreds of years, may not be because of the imperial family holding them back. Emperor Gokashiwara is obviously not a mediocre person.
generation.
Yoshikawa Yonghide sneered, glanced at Tian Yuan Kojiro and said: "I don't know how Tian Yuanjun can guarantee what the purpose of those people from Ming Dynasty is to invade Japan. At least judging from the series of actions of Ming Dynasty, the other party is probably aiming to occupy me.
Coming from Japan..."
"This is impossible……"
Yoshikawa Nagahide expressed his judgment even if someone jumped out to object.
Only one official could be heard looking at Yoshikawa Nagahide and saying: "Yoshikawa-kun's words are wrong. The great ancestor of the Tomorrow Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, even listed our Japanese as a fault that should not be conquered. How could today's emperor violate the instructions of his ancestors?"
, Besides, Japan is separated from the Ming Dynasty by thousands of miles. Even if we can occupy it for a while, I am afraid it will not last long. As long as the emperor of Ming Dynasty is not a mediocre person, he will definitely not come with the intention of occupying my land in Japan."
The rest of the people nodded secretly when they heard what this official said, including Emperor Gokashiwara who also nodded slightly. Obviously everyone thought that no one would occupy their land in Japan. After all, the two countries were separated by a vast ocean. Even if they could
If you rule for a while, can you say that you can rule for a lifetime?
Seeing the reactions of everyone, Yoshikawa Nagahide felt disappointed. He thought that even if there were few people who had a clear understanding of Ming's invasion like him, there should at least be someone who thought the same as him.
However, the reaction of everyone present made Yoshikawa Nagahide extremely disappointed. No one could see Ming's wolfish ambition like him.
Tian Yuan Kojiro looked at Yoshikawa Nagahide and said with disdain: "Yoshikawa-kun, you are simply worrying about things in vain. As a kingdom in heaven, it is absolutely impossible for Ming Dynasty to occupy Japan. I think you don't want His Majesty to regain power!"
When it comes to the last sentence, it seems a bit heart-wrenching.
Emperor Gokashiwara couldn't help but shrink his eyes after hearing Tagen Kojiro's words, and subconsciously looked towards Yoshikawa Nagahide.
However, Yoshikawa Nagahide was not affected at all, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of any disturbance in his mood.
After negating Yoshikawa Nagahide's concerns, Tagen Kojiro said to Emperor Gokashiwara: "Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you can get help from the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty will be able to put down the rebellion in all directions and regain the authority of the Emperor."
Emperor Gokashiwara suppressed the excitement in his heart, but his face was full of excitement and said: "What the Minister of the Interior said is true, I am very relieved..."
As he spoke, Emperor Gokashiwara looked straight and said: "Tian Yuan-kun!"
Tian Gen Kojiro stood up, bowed respectfully to Emperor Gokashiwara and said, "Your Majesty!"
After pondering for a while, Emperor Gokashiwara looked at Tian Yuan Kojiro, stood up and helped Tian Yuan Kojiro up, then took Tian Yuan Kojiro's hand, and said earnestly as if he regarded Tian Yuan Kojiro as a sibling: "Tian Yuanjun, I will honor and disgrace you." I entrust everything to you, and I hope you can successfully convince the generals of the Ming Dynasty to help me regain power!"
Tian Yuan Kojiro reacted immediately, with a somewhat dignified look on his face, and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations, and I will definitely invite the Great Tomorrow Soldiers to reshape the world!"
In the Kyoto Imperial Palace, while the emperor was planning with his confidants, Ashikaga Yoshie, the contemporary general of the Muromachi shogunate who conquered barbarians, was sitting in the hall.
In the shogun's palace, Ashikaga Yoshie recruited all his confidants.
As the Muromachi shogunate lost its control and dominance over the local area, the Ashikaga family of the Muromachi shogunate entered a period of decline. However, after all, the Ashikaga family was a family that had ruled Japan for hundreds of years. Such a family background is definitely not simple.
Although Ashikaga Yoshihike is not the last head of the Ashikaga family, during this period, the Ashikaga family has indeed entered a stage of decline. Even though Ashikaga Yoshihike is not bad in his own ability, he has no power to turn the tide and turn the world upside down. He can only watch helplessly. As the carriage of the Ashikaga family slowly slid into the abyss, it surrendered to rescue.
The people sitting below can be said to be the last retainers of the Ashikaga family.
As the Muromachi shogunate lost its control over the local area, it can be said that the officials and forces that were previously attached to the Ashikaga family split into local areas one by one and became local national daimyo. The rest can be said to be the Ashikaga family. The last few people are available.
Perhaps some of these people have to rely on the Ashikaga family because they have no local power. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. However, the Ashikaga family has ruled Japan for hundreds of years, and there are still three nails in the rotten ship. Most of them can be said to be Die loyal to the Ashikaga family.
Ashikaga Yoshie looked at the crowd and sighed softly: "Everyone, the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses have defeated the Kinki ten-nation coalition. They may reach outside Kyoto in three days at most. I wonder if you can do anything to help me retreat." Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses!”
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this. From the time they first received the news, they learned that in almost half a year from the time the Ming Dynasty landed at Ishimi Port to the present, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty has destroyed more than a dozen or twenty local daimyo establishments without stopping. country, what they did not expect was that these great names entrenched in the place were so vulnerable and were easily destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.
It is precisely because they know the achievements that Ming Dynasty has achieved in the past six months, so when everyone weighs the power currently possessed by the Ashikaga family, everyone remains silent.
Although the Ashikaga family still has some strength, they can only crush a few local daimyo. As for being tough with the Ming Dynasty, if they have such strength, they will not sit back and watch these local daimyo stand on their own.
Seeing the reactions of his subordinates, Ashikaga Yoshie was about to get angry when he suddenly saw a figure appearing outside the hall.
When he saw that figure, Ashikaga Yoshie frowned. He saw that figure enter the hall, saluted Ashikaga Yoshie and said: "I pay my respects to the general!"
Ashikaga Yoshie nodded slightly and said: "Kudu Yunzhai, come here now, is there something important?"
This person is dressed in black, and everyone can't see your face at all, but when they heard Ashikaga Yoshie call him Kudounsai, many people showed a look of awe on their faces.
Who doesn't know that Kudo Unsai is the strongest of the Koga-ryu ninja lineage today, and he has always been serving the Ashikaga family.
Jiudu Yunzhai prostrated himself on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Back to the general, there is news from the imperial palace that the emperor summoned Tian Yuan Kojiro and others for a secret discussion, hoping to ask the Great Tomorrow Soldiers to eradicate his subordinates and regain power."
"How bold, General, wait until I lead my troops into the Kyoto Imperial Palace and kill all the rebellious officials and traitors who have ulterior motives and deceive the Emperor..."
A general couldn't help roaring when he heard this. With the command of Ashikaga Yoshie, he would lead his army into the imperial palace.
However, Ashikaga Yoshie slowly shook his head, glanced at the crowd, and finally looked at the person sitting in the first place below him and said: "Qingyan-kun, please tell me, what should I do, general?"
Qingyan Wuzhi showed a sneer on his lips and said: "General, since the Emperor can cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, why can't we cooperate with the Ming Dynasty?"
"oh?"
It can be said that what everyone was thinking about before was how to deal with the arrival of Ming's soldiers and horses. Everyone was thinking about how to resist Ming, but no one had ever thought about cooperating with Ming.
At this moment, Qingyan Wuzhi's words made everyone's eyes light up. Yes, why didn't they think of this?
Since the Emperor can cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, can they also cooperate with the Ming Dynasty? It can even be said that compared to the Emperor, they have far more strength than the Emperor, and they have a better chance of winning the favor of the Ming Dynasty.
Ashikaga Yoshie showed a look of emotion on his face. If the confrontation with Ming Dynasty could withstand the Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshie would definitely not want to pray to Ming Dynasty in a low voice. But who made the Ashikaga family lack strength and even lose control of the local government?
of dominance.
As for the series of consequences that would arise from praying to the Ming Dynasty for help, since Ashikaga Yoshie was able to serve as the ruler of the Muromachi shogunate, it was natural that he could not have thought of it.
However, there were not many choices before Ashikaga Yoshizuki. He could either fight to the death without seeing the slightest hope, or choose to cooperate with Ming Dynasty.
His eyes fell on Qingyan Wuzhi, and Ashikaga Yoshizhi said slowly: "Qingyan-kun, I will leave it to you to contact the Ming Dynasty."
Qingyan Wuzhi stood up and left. Seeing Qingyan Wuzhi leaving, Ashikaga Yoshizuki said to Jiudu Yunzai: "Kudu Yunzai, you immediately take people to intercept the person sent by the emperor to contact the Ming Dynasty. You must not let him
The Emperor’s envoy met King Wu of the Ming Dynasty.”
After giving these instructions, a cold look flashed in Ashikaga Yoshizuki's eyes, and he glanced at the generals and said: "General Zuo Wei, General Right Wei, pass my order, rectify the troops, and be ready to fight at any time!"
"ah!"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. After all, this change was too fast. Just now, Ashikaga Yoshie was still arranging people to contact Daming. In the blink of an eye, he ordered people to prepare for war with Daming.
However, these people present were not fools. They were stunned for a moment and realized that Ashikaga Yoshie was obviously preparing for the worst. After all, they could not place all their hopes on Daming. What if they failed to contact Daming?
, you can’t be completely unprepared.
Almost twenty miles away from Kyoto, smoke and dust were billowing, and the mighty army was heading towards Kyoto like a torrent.
The Allied Forces of the Ten Nations were defeated. It can be said that the countries around Kyoto were too overwhelmed to take care of themselves and were no longer able to resist the Ming Dynasty's advance.
It can even be said that countries such as Hanoi and Shancheng are now probably destroyed by the troops sent by Chu Yi.
On top of a tall horse, Chu Yi's figure suddenly appeared among the army.
Tens of thousands of troops marched with majestic momentum. Everywhere they passed, apart from the old, weak, sick and disabled, all the villages they passed by had already fled.
Lu Dazhu and other generals gathered around Chu Yi. At this moment, they heard Lu Dazhu's rich voice: "Your Highness, Kyoto is in sight. In another ten or twenty miles, we can arrive at the gates of Kyoto. What Dayuan did not do in the past
I, Da Ming, have done what I did."
Zhai Luan smiled slightly and said: "What General Lu said is true. How can the foreign tribes of Mongolia and Yuan be compared with our Ming Dynasty? Besides, this time the prince personally led the army to conquer Japan. It is only natural for him to go to Japan in one battle."
Lu Dazhu couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this, gave Zhai Luan a blank look, and whispered softly: "Flattery!"
Compared to Lu Dazhu, although Zhai Luan could be said to have a military background, he could also be said to be both civil and military. Even if he wanted to flatter Chu Yi, it was much more reserved and tactful compared to Lu Dazhu.
Chu Yi's expression was calm, and he was not affected by Lu Dazhu, Zhai Luan and others. Suddenly, his eyes focused on the front.
Everyone obviously saw the movement in front of them, and they all looked at it.
Just a few hundred meters ahead, several figures were seen one after another passing through the defense of the Ming sentry and approaching the front line of the army.
Tian Yuan Kojiro looked embarrassed, his clothes were stained with blood, but when he saw the continuous army in front of him, his face showed a look of joy.
Behind Tian Yuan Kojiro was a fierce ninja, and the leader was none other than Kudo Unsai, who had been ordered by Ashikaga Yoshie to intercept and kill Tian Yuan Kojiro.
Jiudu Yunzai obviously did not expect that the emperor would send out all his personal guards. If not, Tian Yuan Kojiro alone would never be able to escape his interception.
"I am the emperor's envoy, please help His Highness King Wu of Ming Dynasty!"
