Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 215 Fujiwara Family
Fujiwara Kotaro told everything, and at that moment, Mikami Shrine Chief, who was sitting in seclusion in the wooden house, felt particularly surprised.

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty had actually caused a great sensation in Japan a long time ago. At that time, Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty sent two groups of people from Jeju Island to Japan, but they were destroyed by the divine wind less than 200 nautical miles away from Fukue Island.

To the people of Fukue Island, this is the blessing of God.

Mikami Goji, the priest to whom Fujiwara Kotaro kneeled, was the grandmaster of the master who summoned the divine wind.

I thought that with the blessing of the divine wind, the army on the Tang Dynasty's territory would not be able to invade the eight regions of Japan, but I didn't expect to get this news by accident.

Mikami Goji was eager to know more details and asked:

"Kotaro, you told me that the Ming navy has surrounded the entire Fukue Island? Is this true?"

Seeing that the other party was still in doubt, Fujiwara Kotaro sighed and nodded to confirm the answer:
"Master, Kotaro definitely did not mean to deceive you. When I heard the news yesterday, I also thought it was fake news. However, when I sent my retainers to the seaside to investigate, I found that the Ming Navy had already sent a number of ships to surround Fukue Island.

There are a large number of naval forces in the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. If they want to attack Fukue Island, it will only take a blink of an eye.

According to the man captured by the Ming navy, the Ming army had a total of nearly 50,000 elite soldiers who had countless powerful weapons in their hands. They had originally been pirates on the border of the Ming Dynasty and were then captured alive by the Ming navy using tough means.

The person in charge of the expedition this time is named Li Wenzhong. He is one of the six dukes of the Ming Dynasty. Each duke has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. Now only 50,000 people are sent out. Their purpose is to capture Fukue Island. Now their weapons are pointed at us, so I came to you to find out why the divine wind did not work! "

After hearing what Fujiwara Kotaro said, Mikami Goji suddenly opened his waning eyes. Through the crack in the door of the wooden house, he could clearly see that at this moment Fujiwara Kotaro had quietly placed the base of his wrist on the hilt of the knife.

If Yang Chen could see this scene, he would definitely say that he is worthy of being a Japanese.

Mikami Goji couldn't help but reminisce.

When Fujiwara no Kotaro was less than thirteen years old, his father wanted to send him to Yoshino, Nara, the capital of the Southern Dynasty, to serve as a subordinate retainer of the Shogun Hojo clan.

They are called retainers, but in fact they are imitating the Central Plains during the Warring States Period, where the sons of small forces are sent to large forces as hostages.

Faced with such unreasonable demands, Fujiwara Kotaro certainly refused. In order to change his own destiny, Fujiwara Kotaro poisoned his father Fujiwara Mitsuhiko and killed him at a family gathering. Then he seized power and usurped the throne and imprisoned his brother Fujiwara Nagano Hiroshi.

The place of imprisonment was in a dry well behind the secluded wooden house where Mikami Goji was.

Fujiwara no Kotaro, who was capable of such crazy and cruel acts, naturally had no moral principles. He came here now simply to know why the chief priest of Tsurugi Shrine, who claimed to control the divine wind to destroy anything near Fukue Island a hundred years ago, was silent now?
Crazy, he felt cheated.

That's why he wanted to kill this guy in front of him before the Fujiwara family encountered a crisis!
Before he took action himself, he prayed to Mikami Goji, and it was this guy who knew the truth of that year.

When he killed his father twenty years ago, he took all of his children except his younger sister Fujiwara Masako.

There is a disordered relationship between brothers and sisters.

Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi was imprisoned and tortured like an animal, and all other retainers were eliminated by him.

At that time, all his uncles were killed, and his aunt, sister-in-law, and mother were also imprisoned by him and became slaves for his sexual desires. Finally, they were slowly wiped out in recent times.

This beast in front of me still wants to kill him.
After a long while, Mikami Goji slowly explained:

"The Ming Dynasty had just established itself as a nation, and it possessed the same imperial power as the Tang Dynasty.

Compared to a tiny country like Japan, the Central Plains ruled by the Han people has a very strong national prestige. This national prestige protects the entire country. Their warriors can be blessed when they go out to fight and kill, and they become more and more fierce. Unlike small countries like us, if we want to become strong, we still need the blessing of our ancestors. I know that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was originally a pariah, and then he gradually became powerful during the disputes, and finally became the master of the Ming Dynasty. "

"More than a decade ago, the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to the territory of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu relied on his position as the Shogun to kill all the envoys. At that time, it was heard that the Ming Dynasty was preparing to send troops to invade Japan.

Unfortunately, something happened in the middle, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not do so in the end. However, the only thing we know is that the strength of the Ming Dynasty cannot be underestimated. Xiaotaro, if you are unwilling to submit to the Ming Dynasty, then you can only..."

Just when Mikami Goji was about to tell him the consequences of offending the Ming Dynasty, bursts of panting sounds began to be heard on the country road behind them.

"Lord So-ling! Lord So-ling! It's bad! Something terrible is happening! The Ming army is about to break through our city, they are coming to kill us!"

A samurai with a topknot and wearing standard leather armor began to appear in front of Fujiwara Kotaro. The panic and cannon fodder smoke on his face proved that he had indeed encountered something serious just now.

From the situation of his subordinate, Fujiwara Kotaro quickly knew what had happened. He ignored Mikami Goji and turned around to hold the other person down with one hand.

"Baka! This is a quiet place in the shrine! Why are you yelling? Kneel down and talk properly!"

In any case, shrines are the resting places of gods among the people. As the patriarch, Fujiwara Kotaro naturally does not want the other party to make him lose face.

However, the warrior did not care about anything else and hurried to tell him the news below the city.

"Lord So-ling! Please go down and take charge of the situation! The Ming army has begun to use weapons to bombard our city. They are now..."

While the retainer was speaking, Fujiwara no Kotaro saw a violent explosion in the city of his territory.

In an instant, his pupils couldn't help shrinking. He didn't care about killing Mikami Goji and ran directly down the mountain. His speed was as fast as a nimble mouse.

The clapping sound of wooden clogs echoed throughout the mountain forest.

Seeing the other party leave, Mikami Goji, who was hiding in the wooden house for meditation, hurried out of the house and pushed open the shoji, the Japanese sliding door, with his skinny hand.

When the shoji was pushed to the end, Mikami Goji finally revealed his wrinkled face. His cloudy eyes looked up and down, and finally became clear.

"Kotaro, since you already want to kill me, I don't mind letting you taste the feeling of being abandoned by everyone." As he spoke, a smile appeared on Mikami Goji's lips.

Turned around and walked towards the back of the cabin.

Soon, he came to the dry well.

He took out a metal key from his arms and threw it into the wooden barrel at the mouth of the dry well. He walked to the windlass beside him, untied the rope, turned it again and again, and slowly let the wooden barrel hang vertically downwards.

Inside the well, a man with crazy eyes, disheveled hair and half-dressed was squatting in the corner. When he saw that there was no food mixed with insect feces in the wooden barrel, he immediately looked up at the faint light in the dry well.

Mikami Goji's voice came from above.

"Fujiwara Nagano Hiroshi, the eldest son of Fujiwara Mitsuhiko, the 23rd head of the Fujiwara clan. You, who should have been the 24th head of the Fujiwara clan, have lived in this dark place for 20 years. Your mother Shida Yukino and your sister Fujiwara Masako have been taken away by your brother Fujiwara Kotaro. As the eldest son, are you willing to succumb to fate like this!"

"Bagaya road!"

The trapped beast screamed out curses

How could Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi endure such humiliation? He dared not think about jumping out from the corner. When he wanted to climb out of the bottom of the dry well, he was restrained by the shackles on his body. The collision sound from the metal seemed like the restlessness that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"I want to kill my dear brother! But I can't get out! Mikami Goji! You were appointed as the chief priest by my father himself! And you actually rebelled and created momentum for my brother's usurpation of power!
Hahaha!
Do you think I don't know why you came to see me today? That beast must have wanted to attack you, and you came here to find me just to survive!
Mikami Goji! How could I not know what you, an old man, are thinking! " Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi said a lot of words jokingly towards the top.

He was able to survive because he knew that only by staying alive could he avenge his father.

The moment his father was poisoned to death, the entire banquet was instantly controlled by Kotaro's men, and no one outside had any idea what was happening inside.

As the eldest son, Nagano Hiroshi could only watch his mother and sister abuse him. In order to survive, Nagano Hiroshi was even willing to become Kotaro's pet lackey.

The reason why Kotaro didn't kill him at that time was that he wanted to let his dead father see that the eldest son he had chosen was actually a waste!
That's why Nagano Hiroshi was able to live in this dry well for so long.

At the top, Mikami Goji's eyes were moved and he was lost in memories.

After a while, he spoke again:
"I was wrong at the beginning. Now I give you a chance to avenge your family. The key to unlock the shackles on your hands is in the barrel. You make your own choice on what to do next. I will leave Fukue Island."

As soon as he finished speaking, inside the dry well, Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi incredibly picked up the key from the wooden barrel, inserted it into the keyhole of his hand and foot shackles, turned it slightly, and the shackles that had bound him for twenty years fell completely to the ground.

Surprise instantly appeared on his face, and the next moment, he climbed the rope desperately and finally returned to the ground.

He felt the moist earth wrapping his feet. The inside of the dry well was made of hard rocks, and the spring that originally led to the groundwater was filled tightly with sand and stones. Over the years, he had endured the immobile posture to survive almost every day. Now that he was back on the ground again, and there was no one around to detain him, this sense of freedom made Fujiwara Nagano Hiroshi couldn't help but shout out.

"Kotaro! Wait for me! I want to avenge my father, mother, and sister!"

Suddenly, he finally remembered what the first thing he should do after being resurrected was.

There was chaos at the foot of the mountain, with cries, pleas for mercy, and explosions everywhere. The entire Fujiwara village seemed to have turned into hell. The originally thick gate had been turned into a ruin by the bombing of several shells. The people hiding in the thatched houses huddled in the corner and dared not show their heads.

A few brave warriors could only wear the leather armor that they were proud of but could not withstand any attack at all. They stood there in a daze and watched the Ming soldiers rush into their territory with the sun shining on their bodies.

Hundreds of Ming soldiers, with solemn eyes and shining iron armor, marched in neat steps like giant tanks to occupy their territory.

When the Ming flag appeared in the eyes of this group of samurai, they knew that the Fujiwara family was completely finished!

A sense of fear that they had never felt before grew from their hearts, and then they immediately knelt down!
"How despicable! What on earth is wrong with me! I actually knelt down! I betrayed the spirit of Bushido!"

"Baga! Stupid fellow! They are warriors from the new country on the territory of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. It is a great honor to kneel before them!"

"Asshole! You betrayed the Emperor! You should commit seppuku!"

"Haha. Since you worship the emperor so much, why don't you commit seppuku and go find your emperor now? Fujiwara Kotaro disappeared from the pub early in the morning and is nowhere to be found. He abandoned us. What are you still kneeling here for?"

Being despised, the two-sword samurai who had just risked his life to be loyal to the Bushido spirit and the Japanese Emperor now had a gloomy and ugly face, and lowered his head and stopped talking.

Da da da! ! !
While they were stunned, the Ming army had already sent nearly a thousand fully-equipped soldiers into the Fujiwara clan's territory. They lined up in an orderly manner and did not seem to have any intention of breaking down the city gates to burn, kill, and loot.

It was simply because when these Ming soldiers saw that the entire village exuded an air of poverty, they didn't even bother to rob.

In the entire village, the only relatively luxurious place was the mansion at the foot of the mountain. However, even so, it did not attract them much desire to rob it.

Surrounded by the orderly array of the Ming army, Li Wenzhong appeared in the eyes of all the warriors riding his exclusive Black Wind mount.

Seeing the other party wearing gorgeous and noble Ming Dynasty armor, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They didn't know how much more expensive this armor was than the ordinary iron armor worn by their family.

In front of Li Wenzhong, several Japanese slaves with loudspeakers placed on their mouths were tied up with ropes. Without exception, these people were criminals who were caught for causing trouble near the Ming Dynasty waters.

“You guys, tell these guys to ask who the person in their family is who is the talking head. Ask them to step forward as soon as possible, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Li Wenzhong was not polite at all. Compared to his relaxed and amiable expression on the treasure ship, Li Wenzhong at this moment was his true appearance, a killing god on the battlefield!
People only know Xu Da, the founder of the Six Kilometer Frontier Army, but they don’t know that Li Wenzhong never plays by the rules on the battlefield and can always kill the enemy with a tricky angle!
According to the original plan, Li Wenzhong should have waited until Fujiwara Kotaro replied to him before making a decision, but since he sent people to the island last night, he had already begun to prepare for the plan to enter the island.

They also sent a number of spies to find out the local terrain.

The moment he received the intelligence, Li Wenzhong had almost no hesitation and immediately ordered to enter the island and launch a general attack!
