Chapter 50: The Conquest of Kyushu (3)
Zheng Heng was dressed in a simple military uniform, sitting firmly on Mount Tai, this Taizheng minister, who had just turned thirty, was tall and strong, if it wasn't for the one-eyed destruction of his face, he would definitely be a handsome young man, but that eye was as sharp as an eagle, and his whole body exuded a terrifying majesty.

The six of them are heroes in the Chikuzen National Club, even if they try to calm themselves, the faint tremor finally reveals a bit of their true emotions.
Zhengheng has grown from a small local tyrant to the world's No. 1 hero in only ten years, not a conspiracy, betrayal, or conspiracy, but a real power cultivated from the sea of corpses and blood, and a casual glance scares them with fear.
In this troubled era, what is important is the real military force, and the power of Zhengheng is inseparable from the support of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. In the troubled times of the Warring States, the Date family became stronger and stronger, and the efforts of Zhengheng were poured into it, and the momentum of Zhengheng became more majestic under each other. You must know that Zhengheng is the founder of the Date family, which is equivalent to the ancestor of a regime, and it is not like the latecomers who are involved in all kinds of things, and the combination of power and power makes people dare not look at it directly.
The arrival of the six people together is nothing more than huddling together to keep warm, but in the eyes of Zheng Heng, it is just jumping off the beam and offering ugliness, and countless thoughts turn in his heart in the blink of an eye, but Zheng Heng has always been able to bury all his hesitations deep in his heart, and the expression on his face does not change because of this. He just said casually, "I don't know what you're here for?" ”
The six of them chuckled in their hearts and glanced at each other, Qiu Yue Wenchong had to stand up, and said humbly: "The ministers were deeply harmed by the enemy of the court, Dayouyizhen, and learned that Taizheng was rebellious, so they came to die before the battle and swore to break the enemy. ”
Under the leadership of the Akizuki genre, the clan of Muneka, Tachibana Jianzai, Takahashi Jianzhong, Harada Ryei, and Tsukushi Weimen all shouted: "I will die and swear to break the enemy." ”
The power of the dynasty is in the hands of Zhengheng, and he coerced the emperor to order the princes, saying that whoever is the enemy of the dynasty is the enemy of the dynasty, and Otomo Yoshijin has committed a crime on his head, where is there any possibility of sparing.
The six of them all bowed their heads, none of them saw the smile on Zheng Heng's face with a chill, and his eyes glanced at Qiuyue Wen, who took the lead in bowing down. Qiuyue Wen couldn't help but meditate coldly, and even lowered his voice.
Chikuzen Province has the port of Hakata, which is a treaty port for foreign exchanges, and the people of Chikuzen Province are one of the most seafaring and adventurous areas in the Wa Kingdom.
Zheng Heng withdrew his dangerous eyes, with a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't have the intention to see Qiuyue Wenzhong, and said, "I will be happy to know that there are such loyal and brave people in Chikuzen, so go down." ”
The six of them were stunned, did not dare to say more, and said goodbye and left.
After the six of them left, Zheng Heng said to a young general beside him: "Kan Guanwei, do you know what I am worried about now?" ”
The young general is none other than Kuroda Kanwei, who has gradually shown the wisdom of the country's advisers, often accompanying Zhengheng, and knows some things that are not known to ordinary people, and replied: "Otomo Yoshizhen is just an ordinary ringworm disease in His Royal Highness, and the rest of the heroes such as Shaoji, Ito, Sagara, Hefu, Omura, Ryuzoji, Yang, Satsuma, and Shimazu in Osumi are not in their eyes. ”
Zheng Heng said noncommittally: "Really? ”
The characters in Kuroda Kanwei's mouth that are not in his eyes are all heroes of the Kyushu side, but they are not worth mentioning in his mouth, and Zhengheng did not refute it, obviously Kuroda Kanwei said that he was in his mind.
Kuroda Kanbei only felt that Zhengheng's eyes were as dark as a thousand zhang cold pools, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and replied: "Your Highness has transcended the jurisdiction of the Japanese State and looked at the world. ”
Zheng Heng muttered: "Look at the world? ”
In his subconscious, he didn't want to do anything to hurt the Ming Dynasty, obviously the development of things was all beyond his expectations, and the butterfly effect forced him to come in person, hoping to be able to visit Kyushu Island, which was closest to the Ming Dynasty, and do his best to save the situation from continuing to deteriorate.
Zhengheng's pro-conquest must have been regarded by some people as a great ambition, and the Battle of Baijiangkou was exactly 900 years ago, and many Japanese people had long forgotten the painful defeat.
Kuroda Kanwei was clearly one of those who saw the Battle of the Baekekou 900 years ago as a way for the Wa Kingdom to resist the invasion of the Tang and Silla coalition forces at the invitation of its allies, Baekje, and to inferiorize them in terms of strategy, tactics, weapons, warships, and numbers. In his eyes, the Battle of Baijiangkou was undefeated with 42,000 Japanese troops against the 130,000 Tang army in its heyday.
The powerful Tang Dynasty had long since disappeared, and the defeated of the Wa Kingdom had gone overseas and become thieves, who abused the Central Plains Dynasty, and the reverence for the Central Plains Dynasty in the eyes of the Wa people was gone. On the contrary, many Japanese people had unrealistic delusions, vainly trying to learn from the Yuan Kou who was overthrown by the kamikaze to invade the Central Plains Dynasty and claim the throne as the hegemon. In the eyes of some people, the political and pro-conquest of Kyushu is the beginning of a great ambition.
Zhengheng glanced at Kuroda Kanbei, he couldn't see Kuroda Kanbei's careful thoughts, his expression was cold, and he had the intention to deny it, but he knew that the more he denied it, the more it made people think about it.
Zhengheng pondered for a moment and said: "The Wa Kingdom is in a corner, if you want to develop, you must repair with North Korea, and then build a relationship with the Ming Dynasty, know yourself and know the other side in order to communicate with each other, Kankanwei, you go to Hakata, Hirado and other places to contact local wealthy businessmen, the focus is to inquire about North Korea and Ming Dynasty affairs." ”
Kuroda replied, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
Zhengheng said that he wanted to reconcile with North Korea and then establish relations with the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of Kuroda Kanwei, he wanted to cover up. You must know that the main theme between the Japanese and North Korea is that both sides despise each other. The Koreans were close to the Ming Kingdom, a great power of the Celestial Empire, and considered themselves to be the eldest of the heavens and the second of them, and they believed that they represented the side of civilization, while the Wa Kingdom was a barbarian. At that time, the Japanese still had Rennafu stationed in Korea, so in the thinking of the Japanese people, they thought that Korea was once their own colony, so it should naturally be under them. Of course, there is also the matter of Yuankou, the Wa State defeated the Yuan Kou twice, and the Ming State was established by defeating the Yuan Kou, and naturally the Wa State thinks very highly of itself, what is North Korea, let the Yuan Kou wreak havoc, and dare to play in front of the Wa people.
An important purpose of Zhengheng's pro-conquest of Kyushu was to establish diplomatic relations with North Korea, and then his biggest goal was to restore relations with the Ming Kingdom and recognize the Date family regime as the only legitimate regime of the Japanese State.
The Ming Kingdom, which is vulnerable in the eyes of a few people, is high in the eyes of the majority, and the political balance needs a name, as long as it is recognized by the Ming Kingdom, then he will be one step closer to becoming the king of the Wa.
