As the son of the second generation ruling Hojo Yoshitoki, Hojo Masamura can be said to have gone through ups and downs, and was exiled to Izu Island by the Ni general Hojo Masako because of the Hojo family's infighting when he was a child. Later, he was pardoned by his brother Taitoki Hojo and returned to the Hojo family. In the following decades, he climbed step by step to the position of the shogunate. Before Tokumune became an adult, he was the one who held the power of the Hojo family.

In this time and space, this veteran of the Hojo family, who is over sixty years old, is the first obstacle to the tendo religion to educate Japan. Hojo Tokimune, who led Japan to resist Kublai Khan's two invasions in history, will grow into a generation of famous generals under his teaching, and become the second great enemy of Tiandao in Japan.

Shi Zong, who was still Zhengtai at the moment, raised his head, and the dark clouds on his face dissipated slightly, "Your Excellency, is it to send an envoy to the Song Dynasty to join the Song Dynasty to resist the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The Kamakura shogunate was not a closed Tokugawa shogunate, and they were quite aware of what was happening on the mainland. Although the shogunate did not establish formal diplomatic relations with the Song dynasty, it maintained some contact with the Song dynasty through studying monks and merchants. What happened on the mainland could also reach Kamakura in a relatively short period of time.

Zhengcun shook his head slightly at Shi Zong, and said lightly: "It's not to join forces with the Song Kingdom, but to contact the Song Kingdom and learn from them." Not only to contact the Song Kingdom, but also to Mongolia if possible! Learn from the Mongols ......"

"Learn from Mongolia?" Shi Zong was stunned for a moment, "Aren't they barbarians?" ”

Because of the two reasons that Mongolia sent to Japan to demand submission after subduing Korea, and because Japan admired the civilization of the Song Dynasty, the Japanese at this time always regarded Mongolia as a barbarian.

Masamura smiled: "What's the matter if it's a barbarian?" As long as they have something to learn from us. If it can help us win the war. ”

His tone became solemn, "Although Shifu is young, he is also a samurai with both wisdom and bravery. The six Polo armies gathered the most brave samurai in Bandong, but they were defeated by the 3,000 rebels of Shimo and Guangshi! This is by no means accidental, if it is replaced by an old man to command the Six Polo Army, I am afraid that people will already be asked for the first rank...... I think that the military science we have mastered now is probably backward, and this is where the biggest danger lies! ”

"Your Excellency is too unconfident!" Shi Zong frowned, "There are no less than 200,000 warriors in Bandong. What is the way of a mere 3,000 rebels? ”

Zhengcun shook his head, "Shi Mao and Guang Shi only had three thousand people before they entered Luozhong, and now they have mastered the imperial court. With the Ming Kingdom as foreign aid, how can there be no warriors in the world who seek refuge in order to become rich? I'm afraid there are 30,000 of them now......"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a sharp sound of footsteps outside the door, and he saw the important minister of the Hojo family. The grandson of Yoshitoki Hojo. Hojo, who was famous for his scholarship and book collection, strode in in real time. Real-time is a rare Confucian general in Japan, who has a collection of many classics from China, and knows a lot about Chinese affairs. He himself is naturally literary and elegant. The Confucian classics for so many years are not read in vain. No matter how angry others are, he is always unhurried and laughs at the way he is gone. But when I walked into the main hall today, I was sweating profusely and panting. It seems to have been running all the way.

When I entered the main hall, I didn't even salute in real time. directly opened his throat and roared: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, your Excellency, the big thing is not good!" News came from Echigo Province that the Guardian Gong had rebelled, and the Sun and Moon Banner was raised on Echigo Fuchu Castle! Gongshi also ordered the Echigo Hao clan to join the Heavenly Taoist Sect and be loyal to the puppet general Gen Hee-hien, who was in peace! ”

There were a few gasps in the room, and several young warriors jumped up first, and the floor was trampled by them.

"The more famous, the scum of the Hojo family! All should be seppuku! ”

There was also a more clear-minded warrior of the Hojo family standing there, his body stiff, his eyes straightened, and he shouted loudly: "Yaga, I'm afraid it's not just the famous...... Omi Sasaki Sadamune, when Bungo was a big friend, the fat and young people were all heavenly disciples! They will definitely respond to Shi Mao and Guang Shi, the two traitors! ”

The Omi Sasaki clan was born from the Uta Gen clan, and the Sasaki clan followed Yoritomo when Minamoto Yoritomo seized the world, and after the Kamakura shogunate opened the prefecture, it was divided into various parts of Omi Province, and became the dominant power of Omi Province close to Heiankyo.

The rich Otomo clan is said to have come from the source of the Yoritomo himself, the first generation of Otomo Nonao is likely to be the illegitimate son of the source of the Yoritomo Dynasty, so under the promotion of the Lai Dynasty, he became the guardian of the Bungo country, and also took turns with the Shao Er family to serve as the Zhenxi Exploration.

The Shoji clan was a member of the Fujiwara clan, who supported the Taira clan during the Minamoto Peace War, and later surrendered to the Minamoto Yoritomo Dynasty, and was named Chikuzen Guardian for his meritorious service in the crusade against Minamoto Yoshitsune and the Oshu Fujiwara clan. It has become a Kyushu samurai family like the Otomo clan and the Shimazu clan in southern Kyushu.

And Sasaki, Otomo and Shao Er's three families are all open Heavenly Daoists!

Although the reason for their conversion was not really convincing - the Sasaki clan wanted to use the power of the Tendo Sect to get involved in the Namba trade and make a little money to settle the livelihood of the more and more Sasaki samurai. And Dayou and Shao Er are both powerful in Kitakyushu, and they are always under the threat of the Ming Beiyang Fleet, and joining the Heavenly Dao Sect is obviously a choice for self-preservation. But now that the Heavenly Dao samurai have controlled Heiankyo and dominated the Japanese court, and they have a righteous name, there is naturally no reason why Sasaki, Otomo and Shaoji should not follow.

Hojo Tokimune sat there dumbfounded, his eyes motionless. Although he was only 14 years old, under the guidance of Masamura and others, he was already well aware of the situation of various samurai groups in Japan. Of course, I know that Sasaki, Otomo and Shaoji are all powerful wealthy families. Among them, the two families of Otomo and Shaoji joined forces, which was enough to subdue Kyushu, and the Shimazu family in the south was neutral at most, so they would not go to war with Otomo and Shaoji for the Hojo Tokumune family, not to mention that their territory was also under the threat of the Daming Naval Army!

As for Kinai, Yamashiro Province and Settsu Province should soon be controlled by the Heavenly Daoists, plus the Omi Province controlled by the Sasaki family, most of Kinai has been controlled by the rebels!

And Hokuriku has always been headed by Echigo, which has always been the territory of the famous Yueliu, and the power of the famous Yueliu in Yuezhong is not small, and the current guardian is Hojo Gongshi! And the Goto clan, who had great influence in Echizen, had a close relationship with Mingyueliu and were Meiyueliu's allies in the "palace turmoil"!

If Kyushu, Hokuriku, and Kinai are in chaos, Japan will be in chaos in the world!

Hojo Masamura didn't panic, just smiled: "It's just expected, Shi Shige is not a reckless person, and Guangshi should have calmed down a lot after suffering for so many years." If they are not sure, how can they rush into the army? You can't win the world with 3,000 people. ”

He looked up at the real time, "Real-time, Mr. Liang is in Kamakura?" ”

Hojo wiped his sweat in real time, regained some of his former bearing, and saluted Masamura and Tokimune first, and then said, "Mr. Liang has arrived in Kamakura, and he lives in the house." ”

Mr. Liang is Liang Chongru, who has lived in Japan for several years, opened a academy in Kanazawa (Hojo's fiefdom) in Musashi Province, spread Confucianism, and became close friends with Hojo Real-time.

"That's good," Hojo Masamura looked back at Hojo Tokimune, who had long lost his mind, "His Royal Highness Tokimune, why don't you ask Mr. Liang to carry the letter of state and send an envoy to Song and Mongolia in the name of the Japanese envoy...... Japan should liaise with the Song and Mongolia kingdoms and learn from them the military science that can defeat the Ming army! ”

"Defeat the Ming army?" Shi Zong looked at Zhengcun, fixed his mind, and asked, "Can Song and Mongolia really help us?" ”

Masamura nodded heavily and said, "Yes!" At least we can get the secret of H medicine from the Song Kingdom, and we can also learn the latest military science on the Haixi Continent! Both the Song and Mongolia kingdoms were enemies of the Ming kingdom, and they should know the strength and weakness of the Ming kingdom, and this is what we continue to understand and learn.

We are now facing a behemoth like the Ming Kingdom, who not only has a powerful horse infantry army, but also a naval army that dominates the seas. The sea around Japan is no longer able to protect us! If we want to survive the attack of the Ming Kingdom, we must learn from the powerful countries on the Haixi Continent! Just like when we studied the Tang Dynasty! ”

Hojo Masamura seemed to say with some emotion: "Japan is not as good as China after all, this is ...... We have to admit it! So we must learn from China! Just like in those days, we had to send a large number of envoys to the Song Dynasty to learn Chinese culture and skills. Only then will we be able to survive this war.

In a way, Shi Mao, Guang Shi and Jue believe that they realized this before we do. When they entered the Heavenly Dao, they thoroughly learned from the mainland, they wanted to copy everything in the Ming Kingdom, and even let the Japanese integrate into China...... And we are not willing to give up our beliefs, our own traditions and culture, but that doesn't mean we don't want to learn from China! All we reject is the Heavenly Dao Sect! ”

Hojo Masamura is right when he says that Japan has been a student of China for thousands of years, and it is a very good student. Japanese Tendo believers, such as Kakunobu Ohtani, Tokishige Hojo, and Mitsutoki Hojo, were just one step ahead of the realization that Japan needed to be good students who studied with an open mind once again.

Hojo Masamura paused for a moment, and then said, "Moreover, it is not only the Song Kingdom that should be visited in real time, but also the Ming Kingdom!" ”

"Mingguo?"

"Yes!" Masamura said, "Hasn't the Ming Kingdom yet declared war on us?" The current enemy is only the Japanese Celestial Samurai, and does not include the Ming Kingdom...... We should try our best to try to ensure that the Ming Kingdom does not directly intervene in the war with Japan. As long as the Ming Kingdom does not send troops, we will always have a way to fight against Heianjing. In Japan, there are only a handful of Heavenly Daoists after all! (To be continued......)
