Chapter 832: The Kyushu Daimyo’S Response, The Troops Unite In One Place [Please Subscribe, Please S
Soon Kikuchi Takemasa came in covered in blood and knelt down to the side again.
After Prince Liangcheng saw that all the generals were there, he said with a solemn expression:
"How did the Ming army come so fast and so violently?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had received the edict to start war against Japan more than half a month ago.
But in fact, the edict was not for him, but for his uncle, the former Kyushu daimyo Prince Huai Liang.
However, it is not quite right to say that it was addressed to Prince Huailiang, because to be more precise, the edict issued by Zhu Yuanzhang was actually addressed to Emperor Kangguo according to the specifications.
Regardless of whether it is the current Kyushu daimyo Prince Ryōsei or the previous Kyushu daimyo Prince Huairō, they are only guardians of the daimyo in one place. Strictly speaking, they cannot truly represent the current Japanese emperor.
It's just that although the routes sent by the Ming Dynasty's envoys were slightly different, they all landed on Kyushu Island in the Japanese Kingdom.
Kyushu was the sphere of influence of Japan's Southern Dynasties, and was previously controlled by Prince Huai Liang, the son of Emperor Go-Daigo, the great general in the west.
Well, by the way, it was Prince Huai Liang who had previously detained the Ming envoys, beheaded the Ming envoys' attendants, and scorned Zhu Yuanzhang's edicts.
However, it may be because the person who always met the Ming envoys was Prince Huai Liang, so the Ming Dynasty assumed that Prince Huai Liang was the king of Japan.
For example, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu (1381) in original history, Zhu Yuanzhang once sent an envoy to blame the "Japanese King's good intentions" and threatened to go to Japan.
The "Japanese King Lianghuai" replied that if the Ming Dynasty conquered Japan, he would actively prepare for the war.
But in fact, in the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), Imagawa Sadeyo, who belonged to the Northern Dynasty, defeated the Southern Dynasty army led by Kikuchi Takemitsu for 17 years at Mount Gaora in Chikugo Province and recaptured Dazaifu.
Seeing that the situation was over, Prince Huairo gave up the post of Shosei Shogun to Emperor Gomurakami's son, who is now Prince Yoshinoge, and he retired to Yabe in Chikugo.
After that, the bad prince died of illness in the 16th year of Hongwu (1383) and left his own secluded place.
Therefore, in fact, from the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), the so-called "King Lianghuai of Japan" did not refer to the real Prince Huailiang himself.
It was just that the later Kyushu daimyo used the name of "The Good Wife of the King of Japan" in their dealings with the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Prince Liangcheng naturally regarded the war edict given by the Ming Dynasty to his uncle, Prince Huai Liang, as a war edict for himself.
As for the Ming Dynasty's edict to start war, Prince Liangcheng also scorned it like his uncle Prince Huailiang.
After all, there have been edicts like this before, but so what is the result?!
His uncle, Prince Huai Liang, imprisoned the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and even beheaded the attendants of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the face of the Ming Dynasty was thrown to the ground and stepped on again and again.
But what is the result?!
Da Ming doesn’t even dare to fart!!!
And even if the Ming Dynasty really raised troops to attack their Japanese country, so what, wouldn't the "Yuan Kou" who were not inferior to the Ming Dynasty also raise their troops to attack them?!
But so what?!!
Even though the Yuan invaders were fierce for a while, their Japanese country was still protected by the divine wind!!!
As long as the Ming Dynasty dares to raise troops to invade, the divine wind that protects their Japanese country will surely bury the Ming army in the sea just like the Yuan invaders in the past!!!
Therefore, Prince Liangcheng did not care about the Ming Dynasty's edict to start war.
He even wrote a very tough reply to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying in the letter that as long as the Ming army dared to fight, he would actively prepare for the war and keep all the Ming army on the Japanese soil.
After that, there will be no after.
Because it only took two days for the Ming Dynasty envoy who received the reply to return from Kyushu Island to the nearest Ming Dynasty Busan naval military base.
Then, after the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes read the reply, they were speechless. The mighty 600,000-strong naval fleet set off the next day.
On the fourth day after that, a hundred thousand navy commanded by Chu King Zhu Zhen and Dingguo Duke Wang Bi arrived at Kyushu Island.
After that, within half a month, one-third of Kyushu Island was captured, and three Japanese local guardian daimyo were destroyed.
During this period of more than half a month, Prince Liangcheng only briefly talked to his subordinates about the need to train more to prevent an invasion by Xi Mingjun.
As for other more things, Prince Liangcheng has no arrangements.
Because in the subconscious mind of Prince Liangcheng, he did not think that the Ming Dynasty would really send troops to attack the Japanese country.
Even if the Ming Dynasty really planned to send troops to attack the Japanese country, it would not be possible to send troops so quickly.
Even after Ming Dynasty received his reply, he was so angry that he wanted to send troops to attack Japan.
But whether it is mobilizing soldiers for the Eastern Expedition or raising needed food, grass and other materials, it also takes time.
By the time Ming Dynasty gets all this ready, it will probably be summer and autumn by then.
And now there are still several months before the summer and autumn seasons, which is enough time for them to wait for an opportunity to send Japanese warriors to the Ming Dynasty to inquire about some relevant situations.
After all, if the Ming Dynasty really wanted to conquer the Japanese country, there would definitely be unusual movements along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.
And this kind of big news involving the Eastern Expedition was not something that the Ming Dynasty could hide.
By then, as long as it is discovered that Ming Dynasty really has the tendency to conquer the East, it will not be too late for him to make arrangements.
Otherwise, as soon as we receive the Ming Dynasty's edict to start the war, we will immediately respond in a hurry.
On the contrary, he would be ridiculed by the local lords who belonged to the Northern Dynasty, and he was frightened by an edict from the Ming Dynasty.
Such a shameful thing is unacceptable to him.
But what he never expected was that the Ming Dynasty would actually send troops to conquer their Japanese country!!!
The Eastern Expedition to their Japanese country had even started half a month ago, and we also calculated the time of the visit of the Ming Dynasty envoy and the time of his reply.
Prince Liangcheng suspected that the Ming Dynasty's envoys and the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Expedition army set out on both sides. Even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty might not have seen his reply before the Ming Dynasty's army started the Eastern Expedition.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Expedition army was still so fierce, and it destroyed the three kingdoms in just half a month.
When I think of the Ming Dynasty's unknown number of naval fleets and ships, as well as its elite soldiers ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, as well as the terrifyingly powerful muskets and artillery equipped by those elite soldiers.
Prince Liangcheng's heart was filled with a thick shadow.
When Prince Liangcheng's retainers and generals heard what Prince Liangcheng said, they all looked ugly and said:
"I'm afraid that Ming Dynasty has had evil intentions towards our Japanese country for a long time. Even before this, he was already thinking about how to conquer us."
"Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Expeditionary Army would not have arrived at us so quickly!"
"Whether it was calculated by heart or not, the Ming army suddenly attacked. We were unprepared, so we let the Ming army succeed."
"As long as we take precautions in advance, even the Ming army will not be able to easily overthrow us and Higo country like they did with Chikuzen, Hizen and Bunzen countries!"
...
Listening to the words of these retainers and generals, Prince Yoshinori did not show any satisfaction on his face. His eyes fell on Kikuchi Takemasa who had been silent and asked:
"Wu Zhengjun, what do you think?!"
After hearing his master's question, Kikuchi Takemasa just came back from his thoughts and said with an extremely serious expression:
"I think the top priority now is to immediately contact the daimyo of Chikugo, Bungo, Hyuga, Ohsumi, and Satsuma, so that we can unite our forces."
"This way it is possible to prevent us from being divided and attacked by the Ming army in an attempt to defeat them all!"
"Similarly, only if we all unite can we be able to counterattack the Ming army in the Eastern Expedition, and even drive the Ming army out of Kyushu Island!"
"Otherwise, sooner or later we will be destroyed one by one by the Ming army!"
Suddenly, Prince Liangcheng flashed a hint of hesitation and said:
"The daimyo of Bungo and Hyuga countries, will they be willing to join forces with us?!!"
Because compared with the Chikugo Kingdom, Osumi Kingdom, and Satsuma Kingdom, which were affiliated to the Southern Dynasties, Bungo Kingdom and Hyuga Kingdom were the remaining local daimyo on Kyushu Island that were affiliated with the Northern Dynasties. "They were not of the same mind as those of the Southern Dynasties.
Just like the Central Plains that was in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the previous Japanese country was also in war, and the war has not ended until now.
Since Emperor Go-Daigo eliminated the Kamakura shogunate, he carried out the first restoration of royal government and implemented the New Deal, which is known as the Kenbu New Deal in history.
However, because the new policy failed to meet the requirements of the samurai and only reused the ministers and nobles of Kyoto, it aroused dissatisfaction among the samurai.
Among them, Ashikaga Takauji, the fallen general, was even more dissatisfied. Although he was given the title "Town" in the emperor's name, he wanted to open the palace.
Later, Ashikaga Takauji forced Emperor Go-Daigo to abdicate, and Emperor Komei should take over the throne.
Emperor Komei made him the general to conquer barbarians and established the Muromachi shogunate, which was the beginning of the Northern Dynasty.
Then Emperor Daigo managed to escape after being forced to abdicate, and retreated to Yoshino in Yamato with the three sacred weapons that symbolized the emperor. This was the beginning of the Southern Dynasty.
Since then, the four islands of the Japanese Kingdom have been in a state of chaos between the Southern and Northern Dynasties. All the four main islands of the Japanese Kingdom have local imperial states affiliated with the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
There are constant disputes between each other, and the hostility continues to this day.
This is also the reason why Prince Yoshinari is worried that the daimyo of Bungo and Hyuga are not willing to join forces with them.
Ju090 Chi Wuzheng looked up at his master, Prince Liangcheng, nodded, and said solemnly:
"Will do!"
"Whether it is a local daimyo from the Southern Dynasties or a local daimyo from the Northern Dynasties, now we all have a common name, and that is the Japanese daimyo!"
"At this moment, the Ming army is invading on a large scale and foreign enemies are attacking. It is time for us to put aside our past grudges and join hands to defend against foreign enemies!"
"I believe that at this moment, the daimyo of Kunashi and Hyuga will make the right choice!"
"And they have no extra choice. Now that they join forces with us, they at least have a glimmer of hope."
"But if the status quo continues, then the previously destroyed Chikuzen, Hizen, and Bunzen countries will be their next fate!"
After Prince Yoshinari thought for a moment, he quickly made a decision and looked at Kikuchi Takemasamichi:
"Bumasa-kun, I have sent you as my envoy to contact the daimyo of Chikugo, Bungo, Hyuga, Ohsumi, and Satsuma, and invite them to join forces and jointly defend the Ming army!"
"As for the daimyo of Bungo and Hyuga, I can swear in the name of Emperor Go-Daigo that until the Ming army is repulsed, I will definitely regard Bungo and Yugai as our brother countries of Higo! I will never take advantage of this crisis to harm them!"
"Anyone who violates this will be punished by Emperor Go-Daigo!"
Kikuchi Takemasa immediately bowed his head at 90 degrees and responded:
"Hi!"
Then Prince Liangcheng looked at the other retainers and generals and said:
"Even if the Kanmon Strait is lost, we will still find a way to send back the news of the Ming army's massive attack to Emperor Go-Daigo and Emperor Komei, asking them to suspend their disputes and jointly send troops to support Kyushu and repel the Ming army!"
"Also, all the warriors in the country have been mobilized, and all the young and strong people have been temporarily mobilized as warriors, day and night.
Patrol to prevent another sudden attack by the Ming army!"
"In addition, all spies will be sent to Chikuzen Country, Hizen Country, and Bunzen Country to explore the situation of the Japanese army. Any news must be reported back as soon as possible!"
All the other retainers and generals also bowed their heads ninety degrees and responded:
"Hi!"
Immediately, all the retainers and generals immediately went to carry out Prince Liangcheng's order.
