Lord Moyu was forced to open

Wang Cezhi and others here escaped, but there was a big problem for the Japanese country.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty disappeared overnight, and all the guards around the embassy were cut down with a knife. Although the autopsy results showed that it was a sneak attack from behind, it was most likely the envoys who did it.

But even this excuse would require Song Guoxin!
oh! I sent a good mission to you, but they all disappeared overnight. You told me that they ran away on their own and also killed all your guards. This sounds strange to me.

Even if the Japanese side suspected that this was what the Song Dynasty did deliberately, why else would they have been entangled with them these days? It was clear that they could use the army to force them to agree to the conditions, but Wang Cezhi never used it.

Now that the person has disappeared, if no evidence can be found, the location of the mission cannot be determined and an explanation can be given to the Song Dynasty, then I am afraid they will face the Song Dynasty's revenge.

Now there are still 50,000 troops waiting in the Gyeonggi area!

Sato Takeru and Tamasei Yamamoto Yohji immediately realized the seriousness of the matter after learning about the disappearance of the mission, and immediately started investigating. Later, they found that not only were they missing, but all the guards at the city gate had also disappeared. Following this clue, they roughly found the traces of Wang Cezhi and others' departure.

After all, it was impossible for so many people not to leave any traces, so they began to prevent the elite team of the Japanese country from tracking, but after two days of chasing, they discovered that the clues had disappeared in the Miyajin area!
After careful investigation, some fishermen said that many people boarded an armored boat from nowhere and left yesterday morning.

At this time, the Japanese people were dumbfounded.

Here in Kyoto, after the Japanese court received the news, the court hall was filled with gloom and gloom.

Takeru Sato slammed his fist on the table and cursed angrily: "What on earth does Song State want to do? Do they still want to use the excuse of the messenger's disappearance to move forward and search?"

Taizheng Yamamoto Yohji said solemnly:

"It's not impossible. People in the Song Dynasty pay special attention to their work. Maybe they sent this mission here on purpose. I felt something was wrong before.

Just because we didn't agree to the conditions for the army to come in and search, the envoy didn't force us to agree, but instead struggled with us for so many days. Now it seems that he doesn't care at all whether we agree or not, and it's just a show with us. , providing a suitable excuse for Song's army is probably their real purpose. "

"Song State is too despicable. How could they do such a thing!?"

"This is simply a trap set up by Song Ren!"

"Lord Taizheng! Lord Guan Bai, what are we going to do now! I think the Song army will soon forcefully enter the country to search!"

The court of the Japanese state instantly became a mess, with everything going on.

At this moment, a panicked shout suddenly came from outside the palace!
"Report! It's not good! It's not good! News came from Feige from Yokota Fan. The 50,000 Song army at the Chen Bing border directly attacked Yokota Fan early this morning. It only took half a day to capture Yokota Fan. Then the Song army directly attacked Yokota Fan. The troops were divided into two groups and launched attacks on Meigan and Gaoliangfan respectively. It is estimated that the Song army will attack the location twice in two days at the latest!
Two daimyo have sent letters of request for help to Kyoto, requesting Kyoto to send troops for support! "

"What! Why did the Song Army launch an attack directly?!"

"You just launched an attack on us without even a reason?"

"They are starting an undeclared war!"

As soon as the news of the Song army's attack came, all the Japanese ministers in the palace were shocked.

Even the expressions of Takeru Sato and Yohji Yamamoto changed.

Takeru Sato turned to look at Yohji Yamamoto and said in a solemn tone: "The Song army is coming in force and fighting without announcing it. Obviously it is not as simple as we just want to find an excuse to come in and search."

Yamamoto Yohji nodded and continued: "I estimate that this time, Song Jun's behavior is probably because of firearms."

Takeru Sato narrowed his eyes and said: "According to Taizheng, our possession of firearms has touched the Song Army's bottom line, so the Song Army launched a crazy attack on us regardless of everything?"

Yamamoto Yohji nodded: "Based on the current situation, firearms are the most powerful weapon of the Song Army. If the Song Army wants to continue to have hegemony over us, it must ensure that its firearms are always in the leading position.

But this is still not safe. Once we also have firearms, there is a certain possibility that we will surpass the Song Army in firearms. In order to avoid this situation from happening, the Song Army had no choice but to cut off this possibility from the source, that is, to prevent us from possessing firearms!

But now that our possession of firearms was revealed, Song Jun immediately became anxious. This time, Song Jun was probably rushing to teach us a lesson.

The ultimate goal is most likely to find all our firearms and destroy them. "

"No! If we don't have firearms, won't our country, the Japanese nation, have to succumb to the Song people for the rest of our lives?"

Sato Kenichi became anxious when he heard this.

Yamamoto Yohji nodded and said: "For the rise of Japan, we naturally cannot lose firearms.

But this time we must let all the firearms be destroyed in front of the Song army. "

Takeru Sato was dumbfounded. He felt that he had not heard clearly what Yohji Yamamoto meant.

Yohji Yamamoto sighed and explained: "What I mean is that we need to conceal the source of the firearm and find a new source for him.

Let Song Jun completely eliminate this new source.

We preserve our original sources so that we can survive the current crisis and embrace the future. "

Takeru Sato's face became solemn: "What Taizheng means is that we find a group of craftsmen and let them claim that they accidentally developed firearms.

Then destroy all the firearms and these craftsmen in front of the Song Army, and we continue to secretly purchase firearms from Hongmaofan and secretly develop? "

Yamamoto Yohji nodded: "Yes, let's get over the immediate difficulties first."

After pondering for a moment, Takeru Sato nodded: "Then do this. It just so happens that the imitation of firearms has already gained some insights.

Let these people pretend to be the craftsmen who made the firearms, and we will keep their experience and destroy them together with the firearms when the time comes. Then we will find Hongmao Fan to buy the firearms and imitate them again.

In addition, we cannot do nothing when facing the Song Army's attack. We must show them that we are resisting, otherwise the Song Army may doubt us.

I will first transfer 50,000 people from the Guandong area to support Meigan and Gaoliang. They don’t need to work hard. I just want to give the Song army an attitude that we want to resist. In the end, they had to hand over all their firearms and weapons under their pressure. The look of a craftsman. "

"That's it!"

After discussing the course of action, the Japanese side immediately took action.

Takeru Sato urgently transferred 50,000 people from the Kanto region to Ganmei and Gaoliang to support them.

Two days later, Ganmei and Gaoliang, which had received support, also faced the Song army's attack.

But even with support, these two places were still retreating steadily under the Song army's offensive. They were completely defeated in just two days, with 20,000 captured and prisoners, and the rest fled in all directions. Even those who were sent The 50,000 reinforcements who pretended to be defeated also turned into real defeat, and the remaining 30,000 people fled towards Kyoto in embarrassment.

The Song Army, on the other hand, took advantage of the victory and continued to attack forward!
