My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 340
"It's doable, I agree!"

After listening to Zhu Zhanhe's narration, Zhang Fu was the first to express his opinion.

As a general capable of civil and military skills, Zhang Fu knows that it is easy to conquer the country, but difficult to defend the country. For example, Jiaozhi has been fought for many years, but it is not very stable until now, and natives pop up from time to time. rebel.

Now attacking the Wa Kingdom, Zhang Fu does not want to repeat the mistakes of Jiaozhi, so when he heard Zhu Zhanhe's plan to march into Kyushu in the name of supporting the Wa Kingdom's Southern Dynasty, he was of course the first to agree.

"I agree too!"

Zhang Fei also made a statement at this time.

"It is feasible, but should we send someone to ask His Majesty for instructions? After all, this is to forge the seal bestowed by the Emperor Taizu. If we make decisions without authorization, will we be blamed?"

At this time, Liu Rong expressed his worries.

"The general is away, and the emperor's order is not given. If you have to ask the emperor for everything, it will take at least more than a month to go back and forth. By then, the news that we have captured Tsushima Island must have spread to Kyushu long ago, so Let's report to Grandpa Huang while we finish the matter, I believe he will agree."

At this moment Zhu Zhanhe made a final decision.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said, Liu Rong also dispelled the worries in his heart. Anyway, with Zhu Zhanhe standing in front, they can't be blamed for anything in the future.

None of Zhang Fu and the others had any objections. Zhu Zhanhe immediately recruited craftsmen in the army and asked them to forge a seal of the "King of Japan". It was made, except that it was not personally rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, and it is not much different from the real one.

A few days later, when the seal was made, Zhu Zhanhe handed it over to Ge Cheng Erlang, and equipped him with a team of personal guards to protect him in name, but actually to monitor Ge Cheng Erlang.

Ge Chengerlang is also well aware of his current identity, so he has been very cooperative from the beginning, and he has no resistance to the people who are watching.

It was also from this moment that Katsurai Erlang officially changed his name to Kanwa and became the son of Prince Huailiang and the grandson of Emperor Go-Daigo.

In order to conform to Kuanhe's identity, Zhu Zhanhe also selected a few obedient Japanese people and Japanese women from Tsushima Island, and asked them to serve Ge Chengerlang's food and daily life.

Of course, those who knew Ge Chengerlang on Tsushima Island, such as Zong Zhensheng, were all executed by Zhu Zhanhe.

Kuanhe was the son of Prince Huailiang in his later years. At that time, Prince Huailiang had lost power, and Kuanhe hid everywhere after the death of Prince Huailiang. Later, he took the people around him to sea, but was killed by Ge Chengerlang.

Therefore, on Kyushu Island, there are very few people who know Kuanhe, not to mention that Kuanhe has been dead for almost 20 years. Even those who knew him at the beginning may not remember his appearance clearly.

After making complete preparations, the army also rested. Apart from leaving an army stationed on Tsushima Island, the fleet also set sail again, heading for Kyushu Island in a mighty manner.

At the beginning, the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties conquered the Wa country twice, the first time was small, and the two sides won and lost each other. The two-dimensional army assembled 14 troops to go out. The battle was very smooth at the beginning, and they defeated the coalition forces of various famous names at sea. .

It's a pity that in the end, due to a huge storm, the Yuan army's fleet suffered heavy losses, and finally had to flee back to Korea in a hurry. Many Yuan troops staying on the islands were abandoned, and finally all were wiped out by the Japanese army.

Zhu Zhanhe would not make the mistake of the Yuan army. It is already winter, and it is basically unlikely that there will be a big storm on the sea. Moreover, the warships of the Ming Dynasty are tall and strong, and their performance against storms is far stronger than that of the Yuan Dynasty.

A few days later, Daming's fleet arrived in Iki very smoothly. This is one of the most important islands off the coast of Kyushu. When the Yuan army attacked Kyushu, it immediately occupied Iki.

Zhang Fu and others have studied the map of Kyushu Island long ago. In Zhang Fu's view, the original strategy of the Yuan army was not a big mistake. , There are many internal contradictions in the army, so it will fail.

In contrast, Zhang Fu sent troops this time with only [-] infantry cavalry and [-] sailors under Zhang Fu. It seems that the scale is very different from that of the Mongolian Yuan army.

But Ming Dynasty's naval warships are tall and strong, far surpassing those of Meng Yuan, and the army is also very unified, completely obeying Zhang Fu's command, and Zhu Zhanhe will not intervene indiscriminately, so the strength is no better than that of the Mongolian Yuan army back then. Difference.

As Daming's army occupied Iki Island, the news could no longer be hidden, and it was quickly spread back to Kyushu. In just a few days, all the big names in Kyushu also received the news, and everyone was overjoyed for a while. Shock.

Although these Kyushu dynasties are full of conflicts and even fights because of interests, they are still very united when facing foreign enemies. After all, external threats are more serious than internal conflicts.

Therefore, in just a few days, the Matsuura Party, the Shaoji clan, the Otomo clan, the Kikuchi clan, and the Shiroru clan quickly reached an agreement. Just like the last time they resisted the Mongolian Yuan army, they also formed a coalition again and prepared to Take the initiative to attack Iki Island.

Although the daimyo allied forces failed to attack Iki Island during the Mongolian Yuan invasion last time, and even caused the death of the patriarch of the Shaoer family, they must not be cowardly in the face of the enemy's aggression, and must teach the enemy a hard lesson .

Among these allied forces, the most important thing to mention is the Matsuura Party. This is a group of water bandits and pirates. In the Kyushu area, their sea power is extremely powerful, so they have also become the main force of the navy.

It is worth mentioning that the Kikuchi family is behind Zong Zhensheng, and the Matsuura Party is behind Katsura Erlang. He has visited Kyushu many times before to meet with the leaders of the Matsuura Party. Most of the Japanese pirates under him are also from the Matsuura Party.

But before Ge Chengerlang's forces were completely wiped out by Zhu Zhanhe, he knew the ruthlessness of the Matsuura Party, and worried that if he went to the Matsuura Party, he would be executed by the other party, and then he would send someone else to take his place.

That's why Gecheng Erlang went to Tsushima Island, intending to borrow Zong Zhensheng's hand first, and after recovering some strength, he would have the confidence to talk to the Matsuura Party, but he did not expect to be captured by Daming again.

The coalition forces of the major powers in Kyushu assembled in Matsuura, but they did not attack Iki Island immediately, but sent envoys to meet Daming first. After all, it is still unclear what the purpose of Ming is, although judging by the strength of the opponent, it is definitely not like it. Come to play.

After the Ming army occupied Iki Island, they also did not launch an attack. They just waited for the arrival of the envoys from Kyushu. After all, they had changed their plan. Now that the division is famous, it is natural to let the major forces in Kyushu know their intentions.
