Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 495, the first object of surgery
On the sixth day of April in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, after nearly a month of sailing, the expeditionary force finally arrived at the waters near Kyushu Island, Japan. At this time, the location happened to be in the Tsushima Strait between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

"Marquis Yang, we are waiting for you in Kyoto."

On Huo Qu Bing, Liu Jin was seeing off Poluhou Yang Yun. The army was divided into three groups, and the [-] troops who attacked Ouchi's house and captured Shimane County would continue to go north here, directly entering the Waguo Sea, and then to Ouchi's attack.

The remaining two armies will bypass Kyushu Island and head east, marching towards the Seto Inland Sea and the Kanto region of Japan. The place where the three armies finally meet is still Kyoto and Muromachi, the core of the Muromachi shogunate.

Kyoto is the seat of Wa King Wa, the core of Muromachi is also not far from Kyoto, and the Kyoto area is also the core of Wa Kingdom.

"Well, I will sweep from west to east as soon as possible."

Wearing armor, Yang Yun clasped his fists and said, this time leading an army of [-] alone, he is also under a lot of pressure. After all, he was also a soldier before, and he was lucky enough to kill the little prince of the grassland last time, so he was sealed as Poluhou.

He is a good player when it comes to charging into battle, and he is also a novice when it comes to commanding large armies.

There is no way, the Ming court in this era really didn't have any generals that could be handed out, because for a long time, the military was ruled by civil officials, and the civil official group suppressed the honorable generals, so there were no famous generals at all. After all, the commanders of the army all It was in the hands of civil servants and eunuchs.

Since there are no famous generals, we can only pick generals from the short ones, so there are Zhang Mao and Yang Yun, plus Liu Jin, a wonderful combination.

It has to be said that this is also a tragedy.

In the past dynasties, famous generals came out in large numbers, but in this Ming Dynasty, except for some famous generals when the country was founded, there were no famous generals after that. Even if there were, they were all civil servants, not real officials. generals.

At any rate, Yang Yun was extremely brave, and at any rate he was born as a serious military commander. It is reasonable to say that he came to command the army.

"Take care~"

Liu Jin said solemnly, and then Yang Yun quickly boarded a small boat, and the small boat quickly rowed towards another big boat.

Then the huge fleet was divided into two, and continued to sail northward all the way, and sailed eastward all the way. It was mighty and mighty, covering the sky and covering the sun. It looked like a thousand troops, and the momentum was astonishing. On the surrounding sea area, there were some passing ships. They were all frightened by this huge army and hurried away.

"This is Kyushu Island?"

On the Huo Qu Bing, Zhang Mao looked at the land above the sea with a telescope, and said to Liu Jin beside him.

"Yes, this is Kyushu Island. Wa Kingdom is mainly divided into three parts, Honshu Island, Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island. This Kyushu Island is the only place for our Ming merchant ships to travel to and from Wa Kingdom. Now the most important families on Kyushu Island are Dao Island. Three families, the Tsu family, the Otomo family, and the Ito family."

"In addition, some areas in the north of Kyushu Island are occupied by the Ouchi family. Among the Japanese pirates near Kyushu Island, we have two main suspects. One is the Ouchi family, and the other is the Ouchi family."

Liu Jin nodded, and then also mentioned the division of forces on Kyushu Island.

"Ouchi, Ouchi?"

Zhang Mao silently remembered these two families after listening.

In the past two years, both the Ouchi family and the Otomo family have been rising rapidly, which is related to the rise of the sea trade. Both the Ouchi family and the Otomo family rely on their geographical advantages on the air route to vigorously develop the relationship with Daming. sea ​​trade.

In many cases, merchants in Ming Dynasty only need to transport the goods to Kyushu Island, and then sell the goods to Japanese merchants in Kyushu Island. The Japanese merchants in Kyushu Island will then resell the goods to Honshu Island and earn money. earned a lot.

But this cannot satisfy the appetite of the Ouchi family and the Otomo family. These two families have huge appetites and are also ambitious.

Because of the weakening of the Muromachi shogunate, the control over the daimyos in various places has decreased, and it has become a feature of the Wa country in this era to commit crimes against the superior. The daimyos in various places have also risen one after another, and they all want to replace the Muromachi shogunate as the actual ruler of the Wa country.

Especially for this Ouchi family, the current governor Ouchi Yoshiko is very ambitious. He is trying his best to expand his power, and at the same time, he is quietly supporting the deposed Muromachi Shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshiki. Making a fuss is a bit like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, who wanted to coerce the emperor to make the princes.

In history, it was also in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, that is, in June of 1500, that the deposed General Ashikaga Yoshiki, with the help of the Ouchi family, successfully escaped from Kyoto to the place under the control of the Ouchi family.

Later, with the help of the Ouchi family, he successfully returned to the Kyoto area and became the shogun again. This is a bit similar to Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, but after the death of Ashikaga Yoshiki, the position of the shogun was passed down again. To Ashikaga Yoshisumi's son.

Of course, by that time, it was already the end of the Muromachi shogunate's rule, and the shoguns behind were all puppets, so it didn't matter where they were.

"Didn't we just pass by Kyushu Island?"

"Why don't we give this big friend a hard lesson here on Kyushu Island first?"

Wang Shouren on the side thought for a while and suggested.

"Yes, the main place controlled by the Otomo's family is Higo Country (later Kumamoto County). This Higo country is by the sea. We will send [-] troops to practice and repair the Otomo's house."

Liu Jin thought for a while and nodded to express his support. It's fine to make money on the surface, but secretly he is colluding with Japanese pirates to rob Daming's merchant ships.

"That's all right, let's try the knife with this big friend's house first."

Zhang Mao smiled and said indifferently, this time he came to the Wa country to teach the people of the Wa country severely, in short, he wanted to use people as a knife to scare the chickens and monkeys.

This kind of family that dared to support the Japanese pirates in looting the Ming merchant ship must be eliminated.

The mighty fleet has been going eastward, and after bypassing the southernmost part of Kyushu Island, it is heading north along the coastline of Kyushu Island. In just one day, the army has arrived in the sea to the east of Higo Kingdom.

Such a huge fleet sailed around Kyushu Island, which had already been issued by the Japanese people on Kyushu Island, and the Japanese people on Kyushu Island couldn't figure out what happened for a while.

Ships from the Ming Dynasty are not uncommon. Merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty arrive at Kyushu Island every now and then, but such a large-scale fleet has never been seen before.

The entire sea surface was shrouded by this huge fleet, and the momentum was so amazing that Wa's own boats and the like did not dare to approach this huge fleet.

The Otomo family of the Higo country, the family governor Otomo Zhengqin is calculating the recent income. Since the heavy tax was imposed on Ming's merchant ships, the financial income of the Otomo family has skyrocketed.

Coupled with changing hands and colluding with Japanese pirates to loot the Ming Dynasty merchant ships, Dayou's family can be described as fat and oily now.

"Da Ming is really rich. I heard that a fleet came back from that Golden Continent last year and brought back wealth worth [-] million taels of silver. If there is a chance, I must organize a fleet to visit the Golden Continent. The Golden Continent is in To the east of our country of Wa, we didn’t even know about it before, but it was the Ming people who knew about it first.”

The news about the Golden Continent has also spread to the Wa country. After all, the trade exchanges are very frequent now, and what happened in Daming will soon spread to the Wa country.

"The big thing is not good~ the big thing is not good~"

Just at this moment, someone rushed over and shouted.

"What's the proper way to panic~"

Seeing the person coming, Ouchi Masaki frowned slightly. The person who came was his son Otomo Yoshisuke. He was quite dissatisfied with this son. Ouchi Masaki, like Ouchi Yoshiko, wanted to support the deposed Ashikaga Yoshisuke , but his son Otomo Yoshiki opposed and supported the deposed Ashikaga Yoshiki.

There was an extremely serious conflict between the two, which was also the biggest hidden danger within the Otomo family.

"Yes~"

Otomo Yiyou nodded quickly.

"What happened?"

Seeing Otomo Yoshiyou's appearance, Otomo Masakin nodded in satisfaction, and then asked.

"Da Ming's army has landed after our fat~"

Otomo Yoshika said anxiously.

"Da Ming's army?"

When Otomo Zhengqin heard this, his eyes widened with disbelief.

"That's right, it's Daming's army. There are hundreds of Ming's warships on the surface of the sea. They are all big ships. Our port has been occupied by the Ming's army."

Otomo Yoshiyou quickly reported the situation in detail.

"Let's go and have a look~"

When Dayou Zhengqin heard this, he was immediately intimidated, this Daming actually sent a large army to Japan, and even chose to land on their Dayou's side.

While walking outside, Dayou Zhengqin also asked: "How many people are there?"

"According to reports, at least [-] troops have landed so far, and there should be tens of thousands more on the sea."

Otomo Yoshito said.

"How many tens of thousands of troops?"

When Otomo Zhengqin heard this, he panicked completely.

On the side of the Wa Kingdom, although the daimyos in various places are princes and kings, each has its own army, but generally there are not too many, even if it is a powerful daimyo who can have tens of thousands of people in their hands, it is more than a thousand people. of.

Therefore, the wars in the Warring States Period of the Wa Kingdom were basically battles between hundreds of people, and a few battles could reach thousands of people. As for the battles of tens of thousands of people, there were very few, very few.

There is no way, the country of Wa has too little land and poor resources, and there is no way to support too many people. Naturally, these daimyos will not have too many troops.

It's all right now, when he heard that Daming's army was tens of thousands of people, he was so scared that his face turned pale. All the troops, warriors, etc. of his Dayou's family added up to less than [-] people, which is not enough to serve as side dishes for the other party. eat it.

"Could it be that they found out about our looting of the Ming merchant ship?"

Sweat poured out from the forehead of Dayou Zhengqin as he walked, the Ming army would not come to the Wa country for no reason, let alone land in their Oyou family's Feihou country for no reason.

"I don't know yet, but Daming is the suzerain of our country of Wa. This is the first time that their Ming has come to our country. Perhaps this time, it is also possible that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming sent a mission to our country of Wa. It is hard to say."

Otomo Yoshika thought for a while and said.

"Well, the possibility cannot be ruled out."

Hearing this, Otomo Zhengqin also heaved a sigh of relief, praying silently in his heart.

Higo country is not big. It is said to be a country, but it is actually the size of a county, which is very small.

At this time, at the small pier on the east coastline of Higo Kingdom, large ships slowly moored at the small pier. The Japanese people in the small port were already frightened, looking at the mighty ships on the sea. Team, let's take a look at the ships moored here in the port.

From the ships here, groups of Ming soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp knives disembarked quickly, and then quickly took control of the entire pier.

"Finally set foot on the land of Wa Kingdom~"

Liu Jin landed on Kyushu Island with the army, stepped on the land of Kyushu Island, and looked at the low-rise houses here at the port. Liu Jin suddenly felt that conquering the Wa Kingdom did not seem to have much sense of accomplishment.

The Wa country in this era is not comparable to Daming in any aspect, not to mention that after Liu Jin's efforts in the past few years, capitalism has also developed rapidly in Daming.

Looking at Tianjin Port, and then here, Liu Jin also shook his head slightly.

"Destroy this big friend's house early, and go straight to Kyoto, the core of the Wa Kingdom, to see what is going on in Kyoto. There are many Japanese fans on TikTok in later generations who have blown the Wa Kingdom into a paradise on earth. I wish I could die there."

Soon, Liu Jin also remembered some of the situation before his time travel. In the later generations of the Wa country, it was a developed country in the world, and it was very powerful in economy, technology, culture and other aspects.

There are a lot of people who go to the Wa country once and blow all kinds of things, but they don’t know that the Wa country can develop so well, it is absolutely necessary to knock the bone and suck the marrow from the Huaxia dragon next to it, not to mention, the indemnity of the Sino-Japanese War alone will let the later generations of the Wa country The child became fat after eating.

The landing army quickly got busy, controlling the port, unloading the cannons, horses, supplies, etc. on the ship, and then quickly reorganized the army, preparing to attack the capital city of Higo, the core of Otomo's family.

To destroy the Otomo family does not need to wipe out all the members of the Otomo family, it only needs to eliminate the samurai power of the Otomo family, and the Otomo family will naturally be destroyed.

The Shimadzu family, the Ito family, and the Otomo family on Kyushu Island are feuds. Historically, the Otomo family was wiped out by the Shimadzu family.

As long as the army and samurai of Otomo's family are destroyed, other families and Otomo's family on Kyushu Island will naturally be uprooted.

Attacking a small county seat is not difficult at all for the [-] Ming army armed to the teeth, not to mention the powerful Miyun cannon.
