Chapter 487 The big ship comes from the west [1 more]
Ashikaga Yoshie looked at the Master, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and said slowly: "Master, is there still hope for this general?"
Although Ashikaga Yoshihike didn't say it clearly, Master Zhengyoshi understood the meaning of Ashikaga Yoshihike's words. He heard Master Zhengyue shake his head and said: "If the general can unify Japan and use all the strength of Japan, it will not be possible."
You cannot fight against the Ming Dynasty. Although you may not win a big victory, there will be no problem in defending the country and safeguarding the country."
If Japan really relies on the power of the whole country, coupled with factors such as the right time, location and people, even if Chu Yi is personally in charge, it will take a lot of effort to win over Japan.
It's a pity that Japan has fallen into division since the Ojin Rebellion. Not to mention unifying Japan, not many people may obey the orders of Ashikaga Yoshiuki, the nominal shogun, outside Kyoto.
Staring at Ashikaga Yoshie, the Master shouted: "General, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
Shrinking his eyes, Ashikaga Yoshizuki glanced at the Master, gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to surrender, general!"
Although there are tens of thousands of troops in hand, relying on the city wall of Kyoto, they may not be unable to fight, but Ashikaga Yoshie is afraid.
If Ashikaga Yoshiue really has the means and character of a hero, I am afraid that even the orders of the shogunate will not be difficult to get out of Kyoto.
In Ashikaga Yoshie's view, since he was destined to be no match for the Ming Dynasty, surrendering early might not be a way out. It was always better than being defeated and killed.
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshie had made up his mind from the beginning, so he personally led his troops into the Kyoto Imperial Palace and captured the emperor.
Emperor Gokashiwara had never understood why Ashikaga Yoshie broke into the Kyoto Imperial Palace and caught himself without killing him, but now he suddenly came to his senses.
The emotional Ashikaga Yoshie caught him and wanted to use him as a stepping stone to his career.
It is conceivable that Ashikaga Yoshie had the merit of dedicating the city, and in addition to dedicating him as the emperor, even Chu Yi would take a high look at him. Even if he met the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven would not
He will look at Ashikaga Yoshie in a new light, and when the time comes, he will be awarded a title, and his prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life will be guaranteed.
When Emperor Gokashiwara realized this, his face suddenly turned livid, and he roared and cursed at Ashikaga Yoshiuki.
On the surface, Japan is ruled by him, the emperor. If he surrenders, then everyone else will have hope of survival, but he, the emperor, has no hope of survival.
Ashikaga Yoshizuki could even receive a reward from the Ming Dynasty for his dedication to the city, but he, the Emperor of Japan, was about to lose his life. No wonder Emperor Gokashiwara reacted so violently.
Now that he has made a decision, Ashikaga Yoshie is also a resolute person. He decisively said to the master, "I would like to ask the master to introduce His Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty to me. Please tell me that I am willing to surrender."
There was a smile on the face of the above-mentioned person, and he nodded slightly and looked at Ashikaga Yoshie and said: "If His Highness King Wu knows this news, he will definitely be very happy. By then, the general will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in the rest of his life.
All."
With the order of Ashikaga Yoshie, the tens of thousands of defenders in Kyoto City did not offer any resistance. Under the leadership of Ashikaga Yoshie, they laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses outside the city.
Ashikaga Yoshizuki personally escorted Emperor Gokashiwara with his subordinates, and then under the guidance of Master Ishiro, he left Kyoto City and ran in the direction of Chu Yi in the distance.
Above the vast sea, there is no edge as far as the eye can see. Apart from the waves and the occasional fish jumping out of the water, there is no other sight at all.
However, at this moment, dots of black spots appeared on the distant sea surface. After a short time, the black spots gradually became larger. Finally, it could be vaguely seen clearly. A continuous fleet of ships appeared on the distant sea surface.
.
This is a huge fleet, one ship, two ships, a dark mass. This is actually a huge fleet composed of dozens of ships.
The most important thing is that this sea area already belongs to the coastal waters of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from merchant ships going out to sea, there are no other fleets on weekdays.
Even the merchant ships that go to sea are not of such a large scale, and this fleet of almost dozens of ships is obviously different from the ships built by the Ming Dynasty just by looking at the appearance and style of the ships.
This turned out to be a sailing battleship from the Age of Discovery with obvious Western characteristics.
On the leader's flagship, as the governor of this fleet, Dalikisi stood on the ship and looked to the east.
When Marco Polo returned to the West from the Great Yuan Dynasty, he wrote his travels. In Marco Polo's writings, the ancient eastern country was a golden country, and it seemed that the ground was covered with gold. In his writings, the Japanese island country even used gold to build houses, which can be said to be extremely
All exaggerated.
Ordinarily, not many people would believe such a description, but those Westerners who have read Marco Polo's travels are convinced of the ancient golden country described in Marco Polo's book.
If the great empire in the East was not filled with gold, how could it possibly produce such exquisite porcelain and silk?
Therefore, since the advent of the Age of Discovery, one fleet after another in the West has wanted to find a passage to the East from the sea.
As Spain and Portugal, the two great maritime powers, became invincible on the ocean, Dalici, as the captain of a Portuguese squadron, led his fleet across the ocean and sailed on the sea for several months.
After crossing thousands of miles of ocean, we entered the land of the east.
In front of Dali Qisi, a man dressed in silk and satin with an obviously oriental face stood there in fear. When he looked at Dali Qisi, there was infinite fear in his eyes. Obviously Dali Qisi
His thoughts left a very terrible impression on him.
Chen Wei wanted to tear the alien in front of him alive, but when he thought of his crew members and relatives who were all killed by the other side, as soon as Chen Wei closed his eyes, the scene of those relatives and relatives being tortured and killed by his men would come to mind.
The thought came to mind and made Chen Wei tremble all over.
"Chen, tell me how many days are left before we can reach your country's waters!"
Chen Wei took a deep breath, glanced at the other party, and quickly lowered his head and said: "General, you can reach the nearest port in one day's journey, and then you can set foot on the legendary Golden Kingdom."
Dalikis patted Chen Wei on the shoulder with satisfaction and said: "If this is the case, I will keep my promise and spare your life!"
As a captain of the fleet whose hands were stained with countless blood during Portugal's expansion, killing people was as normal to him as eating and drinking tea.
In the eyes of Dali Qisi, Chen Wei's life was nothing at all. He could kill him at any time if he wanted.
Chen Wei lowered his head, clenched his fists in his long sleeves, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and said silently in his heart: "You aliens, even if I die, I, Chen Wei, will not make it easy for you."
The fact that the Ming Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Japan could not be concealed at all. After all, the Ming Dynasty used so many soldiers and horses and mobilized so many ships at once. It can be said that most maritime merchants knew about the Ming Dynasty's attack on Japan.
An important message.
As one of many maritime merchants, it was obviously impossible for Chen Wei not to know this news.
If there are maritime merchants who are familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty and the East Japan Sea and see the path led by Chen Wei, I am afraid they will immediately notice the weirdness in it.
According to Dalici's request, Chen Wei should lead these Portuguese fleets to the Ming Dynasty and then dock at the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Chen Weifei did not take people to the Ming Dynasty as requested by Dali Qisi. Instead, he led these people to the land of Japan.
The fleet obviously deviated from its direction, not heading towards the Ming Dynasty, but towards Japan.
After waving his hand, a Portuguese soldier stepped forward and pushed Chen Wei down. Several women holding wine glasses and hugging women who were obviously members of the Ming Dynasty came over laughing wildly.
I could only hear one of the generals saying to Dali Qisi: "Captain Dali Qisi, how long will it take to reach the Golden Kingdom? I can't wait any longer."
A general next to him hugged a woman who was forcing herself to smile and laughed: "When I get to that golden country, I will definitely find a dozen more female slaves. I have to say that these oriental women are so delicate..."
Dalikis glanced at these generals, smiled slightly and said: "There is still one day's journey at most. By then we will set foot in the Golden Kingdom recorded by Mr. Marco Polo. With our force, we can have whatever we want.
, whether it’s gold, women, silk, or tea, we can have as much as we want.”
"Hahaha, as long as we can return home smoothly, His Majesty the King will definitely make us nobles of the kingdom."
Just when these Portuguese generals were thinking about the future, this fleet deviated from its direction and headed straight for Japan.
There is no way to hide any ships on the vast sea. It can be said that as long as a lookout hand passes the telescope, the wind and grass within a radius of several miles can be clearly seen, and everything can be seen clearly.
The ship sailed at sea for almost a day and night. Just when the generals who had received the news were getting impatient, a faint black shadow emerged at the end of the sea level in the distance.
As it got closer and closer, everyone finally saw a piece of land. When they saw the piece of land, Dalikisi showed a smile on his face and said to Chen Wei with satisfaction: "Chen, you did a very good job.
, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
Chen Wei lowered his head, but there was murderous intent deep in his eyes, but his face showed tears of gratitude as he thought to Daliki: "Thank you, General, thank you, General!"
