Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 626: The plank road is built openly and secretly in Chencang. The Ming navy secretly assembles.
After Hatakeyama Yiji left the Ming army camp, he immediately changed his face.

In fact, Hatakeyama Yoshitsune himself is neither arrogant nor arrogant.The reason why he acted like that just now was all to confuse the Ming army.

This was the strategy formulated by the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, Hosokawa Katsumoto: First, he declared the war with great arrogance, making the Japanese army appear arrogant and reckless; then, the two armies fought against each other, and then faked defeat to arrogant the enemy.

After many small-scale defeats made the Ming army think that the Japanese army was weak and could be bullied, they then found the flaw and dealt a fatal blow.

……

May [-]th, early morning.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu got up, he received a battle report that the Japanese army was approaching Seoul.

After reading the battle report repeatedly to confirm that he had not missed any details, Zhu Qiyu concluded to himself: "This latest military report also reflects the battle situation ten days ago.

Calculating the time, the Japanese army should have arrived at the city today.

My good days are coming to an end. Once our army is defeated, the court, which has been peaceful for almost a year, will be in turmoil again. "

Lin Xiangyu asked: "Are we going to kill King Yi and the deposed prince this time?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Being an emperor, every stage has its own way of doing things.

My current strategy is to make the best of the situation, not using force but intention.

The specific method is to first see how others make moves.I don't make the move first, I wait until they make the move and then I break them.

This is called defeating without a move but with a move.

Anyway, I am the one who is not in a hurry now. I already have twelve sons, and I can give birth to another seven or eight sons every three years, and I can also have a thousand more disciples of the emperor.Among them, there are [-] Chinese Jinshi and [-] Wu Jinshi.

As long as it takes more than ten years, when the previous princes come of age, our family's throne will be completely stable. "

"Japan really sent [-] troops into North Korea. Their national strength is so strong, they actually sent [-] troops when they said they would send [-] troops, and they fought across the sea."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "If you count them on your fingers, you will find that our Ming Dynasty, North Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Timur Empire, etc., are all surrounded by internal strife.

Japan's current power structure is that the emperor is the nominal head of state, but has no real power.

The power of the military was in the hands of the shogunate.

The shogun's status in Japan is equivalent to my status in Ming Dynasty.

Before the Muromachi shogunate, there was the Kamakura shogunate.

Therefore, the first shogun of the Muromachi shogunate appointed his eldest son to succeed him as shogun, and appointed his second son to guard Kamakura Prefecture, which was the Kamakura Duke's office.

The Muromachi shogunate and the Kamakura shogunate are equivalent to the teams in Beijing and Nanjing.

Each of the Muromachi shogunate and the Kamakura government has a chief minister, who is equivalent to the chief minister of our cabinet.

It's just that the leadership of the family is hereditary. The leadership of the Muromachi shogunate is held by the Hatakeyama clan, the Hosokawa clan, and the Shiba clan in turn; the leadership of the Kamakura Crown Prince is held by the Uesugi clan.

My life was good. Hatakeyama Mochikuni, the previous shogunate governor, died in March this year.

This led to a result: other powerful figures in Japan tacitly promoted the sending of troops to aid Korea, hoping to consume the power of the Hatakeyama clan in the war.

It's just that they didn't expect that I not only prepared a large navy in Dengzhou, but also secretly prepared a naval fleet in Jiaozhou.

At that time, the Dengzhou Navy will attack North Korea and cut off the Japanese army's retreat; the Jiaozhou Navy Fleet will attack the Japanese mainland.I will also mobilize all the naval warships from Fujian, Guangdong, and Annan to destroy Japan with all the strength of the country. "

Lin Xiangyu praised: "My husband is really wicked. Who can stand such scheming against others? If I am not mistaken, you must have built more than a dozen giant warships."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Not only that, in five more months, by October, the number of [-]-material warships built by Annan Shipyard will exceed fifty.

These boats are all made of teak wood, and important parts are covered with iron sheets.In addition, giant cannons were installed at the bow and stern of the ship.

At that time, I will give the Japanese Navy and the Korean Navy a big surprise.

When they realized the terrifying power of the Ming Dynasty Navy, it was also the time of destruction.

After Japan was conquered, I gave Ashikaga Yoshimasa's fiancée Hino Tomiko to Mifuku. "

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "According to what my husband said before, this beauty Hino Tomiko is seven years older than Mifuka. Isn't it a good match at this age?"

"It's not like I'm giving him a concubine, I'm just giving him Tomiko Hino as a plaything, something big or small. Maybe Mitsuka likes someone older than him."

Lin Xiangyu laughed twice, somewhat disapproving of this.

Zhu Qiyu didn't explain too much, but asked: "What are the ministers doing recently?"

Lin Xiangyu held Ningxiang in her arms and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, please give us a good talk by our Lady of the Siyuan Supervisor."

Ningxiang replied: "They are all performing their duties. In the city of Beijing, even the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Imperial Guards are firmly in the hands of my husband. Everyone in the government and the public feels that it is meaningless to continue fighting with my husband in Beijing.

Emperor Gongrang is gone, and the crown prince is gone. Even if the ministers want to fight with their husbands, without these two big flags, they can't get together.

If I must say it, we, the ministers of Ganquan Palace, are a little restless. "

These words aroused Zhu Qiyu's interest: "The people in my Zhongshushe eat a lot and drink a lot. Why should they be restless?"

Ningxiang replied: "They want to be officials in the East Palace and give lessons to our crown prince. But now that Jianshen occupies the crown prince's position, everyone has no title or status, so they are a little anxious.

Although He Yi was very humble and allowed other ministers to take turns giving lessons to the crown prince, after all, the name was not justified.

Everyone wants to be an official official of the East Palace now, so they must invest as early as possible. Otherwise, when the prince grows up and the people around him are fixed, it will be too late to become an official of the East Palace. "

"I'm only 27 years old, and these people are impatient to get a new leader from the party."

Lin Xiangyu teased: "Then who's to blame? It's you who said you wanted to catch up with the sages, and after being the emperor for 23 years, you abdicated in favor of the sages.

Once these words are said, people must have long-term plans for themselves. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, it doesn't matter, I want to abdicate the throne as soon as possible. I am not like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was old and confused and still clinging to power.

Now that we are in our old age, we are still trying to suppress the princelings.In the end, even the prince who had been trained for decades was ruined, so why bother. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Is there a possibility that people like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would react like normal people? Emperors like Husband who are not obsessed with power at all are rare in the world."

Zhu Qiyu replied categorically: "I am not a weirdo, I am the most die-hard princeling, and I am the leader of the princelings. When did Zhu Wenfang want to be the emperor, I immediately gave him the throne while crying and shouting.

However, as long as Zhu Wenfang didn't have a weak head, he wouldn't be in a hurry to become this bad emperor. "
