Ping An ordered an artillery bombardment of the port of the Japanese state, and a major war broke out between the two countries in an instant...... In fact, this statement is inaccurate, because in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a big war at all. Heian did not even wait for the sailors of Dengju and Incheon, and launched an attack with only twenty warships on hand.

He also did not get the permission of the imperial court to go to war, but he knew very well that the war was over, and he didn't have to care at all, because in the eyes of the imperial court, it was an armed conflict at most. As long as you hand over the aftermath to the court, don't make promises casually, don't appoint or dismiss officials, that's it.

The Ming Dynasty is so big, if all the battles have to be decided by the Son of Heaven, it will not exhaust the Yongle Emperor to death.

Therefore, everyone has formed a tacit understanding that there is no need to ask for orders at all for battles of less than 3,000 people, and only need to report afterwards. Of course, if you win, it's okay, but if you lose, you will be held accountable.

The question is will you lose?

"Brothers, fuck me hard!"

In the eyes of the Ming soldiers, this level of combat is simply easier than exercises, and the ships of the Japanese State are small and fragile, just like eggs, which will be broken at the slightest touch, and they are not worth mentioning at all.

The battle lasted less than a morning, and the port was full of wooden wreckage, and Ping'an commanded the men and horses, rushed to the beach, and landed on the land of the Wa Kingdom......

Everything was so easy and not challenging at all.

But they didn't know that the moment the Ming army set foot on the land of the Wa Kingdom, this legendary country protected by the gods suddenly fell into a miserable storm.

After hearing the news, the old shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu actually straightened his waist and stood up!

In front of him, there were three things, a rusty bronze mirror, a cracked jade, and a short sword...... This is the legendary three artifacts, with these three, it is like having a jade seal, representing the orthodoxy of the throne, Ashikaga Yoshishi looked at it with a foolish look, his eyes were full of covetousness, as if he wanted to swallow it in one bite.

There is a saying that the poor must have something to hate.

This sentence is very much in line with the reality of the Wa Kingdom at this moment.

At that time, Liu Chun took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's longevity to start foreign trade, and the Wa Kingdom was the focus of the Ming Dynasty...... At that time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had just unified the Southern Dynasty, and in order to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to maintain the rule of the shogunate, he was very decisive and started the tribute trade with the Ming Dynasty, and it has continued for so many years.

However, with the deepening of trade, the Japanese faced a serious trade deficit...... They really had nothing to export except gold, silver, and some handicrafts.

On the contrary, the goods of the Ming Dynasty continued to pour in, earning huge sums of gold and silver.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, the Wa State did not dare to do anything, but when Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, the conservative forces of the Wa State decisively decided to stop paying tribute.

Zhu Yunwen, who was indulged in the reduction of the feudal domain, had no time to take care of the situation of the Japanese state, which was tantamount to acquiescence.

When Zhu Di ascended the throne, although trade was opened again, there was always opposition on the side of the Japanese state.

The fiercest opposition was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's son, Ashikaga Yoshimori.

I don't know what is going on in the brains of the Japanese people, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave up the position of general to his nine-year-old son, Ashikaga Yoshinori many years ago.

A nine-year-old child obviously cannot hold power, and the actual power is still in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

But at this time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had another son, Ashikaga Yoshitsu, who was madly partial to this child...... He didn't have the ability to give the position of general to his younger son, so he tried to find the throne for his son...... Therefore, it is good to listen to what the Wa Kingdom claims to be one for all generations, and there is never a shortage of careerists in this world.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's move was obviously beyond the tolerance limit of the entire upper echelons of the Japanese Ministers, and even his son Ashikaga Yoshinori was resolutely opposed.

The internal strife of the Wa state also continued to the foreign policy.

For example, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu advocated continuing to expand trade and exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, and he even had the intention of introducing the county system...... In this way, all obstacles can be cleared and the younger son can smoothly take power.

But on the other hand, he resolutely opposes communicating with Daming.

The reason is even more sufficient, doing business with the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese State is at a loss, blocking trade, not only to ensure that the wealth of the Japanese State is not lost, but also to safeguard the interests of the entire ruling group, why not!

is as strong as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and in the face of this situation, it is also helpless!

At this time, the Ming army came to the pass, and the rumbling cannon fire shattered all the ambitions of the Wa Kingdom, making them understand the simplest fact, the Ming Dynasty is an objective existence, not something they can avoid if they want to close the country and avoid it.

Open the door!

Daming sent warmth!

"Quick, you go quickly, go and meet the generals of the Ming Dynasty and tell them that we are willing to agree to any conditions...... The Ashikaga family is the most loyal partner of the kingdom, and we are willing to do our best to serve the kingdom. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu called his youngest son Yoshitsugu in front of him, and said in an almost flattering tone that he wanted to use vivid acting skills to tell his son how to deal with Kamikoku.

But the young and vigorous righteous heir was very confused, he couldn't believe that his wise and martial father would show such a shameless side, was he possessed?

"Father, why are we doing this? Da Ming made so much money from us, and attacked us for no reason, the child thinks we should concentrate our forces and fight Da Ming, so that they know how powerful we are! ”

The son said indignantly, and even waved his arms to accentuate his tone when he was emotional.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at his son, his old eyes rolled, and he didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Child, did your brother say this?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded, but then argued, "The child thinks the same way." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sneered: "Silly boy, do you know how powerful Daming is? The former Great Yuan was completely defeated and wiped out, how can we be the opponents of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Then, isn't that Dayuan also defeated in our hands? And twice! ”

"Hahaha!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu laughed and said, "That's by kamikaze, in other words, once Daimoto's army crosses the ocean, we are ready to surrender." Now that the Ming army has done it, we have to surrender even more. “

He straightened his face, "Kid, you have to use the fastest speed to meet the generals of the Ming Dynasty...... Father will find a way to help you hold back Yoshiki. As long as you can get the support of the Ming Dynasty first, not only the general's throne, but even the throne may be yours. ”

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu trembled, but he was still reluctant, "Father, in this way, won't the child become a puppet of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Hahaha!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu smiled even more happily, "Silly boy, it's not a shame to serve the strong, as an island nation, we should be proud to serve the strong...... It's just that we need to be smart enough to be able to defeat the strong one day, and that's enough. ”

This old fox, who is nearly half a hundred years old, teaches his son the ultimate secret: from attachment to betrayal - the survival guide of the island nation!

Yoshiki, who has received the guide, finally comes to his senses.

He didn't stop and immediately embarked on the road to Daming.

In order to prevent accidents, he even invited a comprador who was quite famous in the Japanese country to do import and export business, as a pathfinder, to ask to meet the Ming generals.

After receiving permission, Ashikaga Yoshitsugu finally saw peace, and he prostrated himself in front of peace, throwing himself to the ground with the standard five bodies, and doing his best to be humble.

Facing the young man at his feet, Ping An also kept shaking his head, what is going on with this Wa country, he was tough, why did he coax it so quickly?

"I'm here to investigate the assassination of Taifu, you have harbored the murderer, you must hand it over immediately, and you must also hand over the relevant personnel to Daming for interrogation."

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu didn't hesitate at all, didn't even raise his head, and agreed directly.

"I'm going to do it."

"Also, my Daming fleet is on an expedition and needs a place to be repaired."

"Yes, we are willing to provide a radius of 20 miles of land and give it to the kingdom for use."

"We also need people, strong labor."

"It's okay, the contemptible can provide 20,000 slaves, and please ask the general to laugh."

Ping An is not a person who can negotiate, and after seeing that the other party agreed in full, he hesitated for a moment, "Then what do you want?" ”

"Me? I think the kingdom can support the villain, and the villain will become the most loyal slave of the kingdom! Ashikaga Yoshitsugu was prostrate on the ground, his ass pouting high.

"As long as Shangguo is willing to help the villain win the throne, the villain can give Shangguo everything he wants."

Ping An smiled, smiling very happily.

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu also smiled.

"Did Your Excellency the General agree?"

"No!" Heian shook his head decisively, "Ashikaga Yoshiji, you're late." ”

"Late?" Yoshiji is confused, what do you mean?

At this moment, Ping An clapped his hands, and from behind the screen, a person who looked seven points similar to him came out.

"O my stupid brother! How dare you make rude demands of your country! Ashikaga Yoshinori patted his chest and said sternly: "The whole country of Wa can only obey the arrangements of the kingdom, and should not expect anything...... Because it is our supreme honor to serve God! ”
