On the sixth day of April in the thirteenth year of Hongji, after almost a month of sailing, the expedition army finally arrived in the waters near Kyushu Island of Japan. At this time, it was located in the Tsushima Strait between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
"Yang Hou, we are waiting for you in Kyoto."
On top of Huo Qu's hospital, Liu Jin was bidding farewell to Poluhou Yang Yun. The army was divided into three groups. The 10,000 troops who attacked Ouchi's family and mostly went to Shimane County had to continue walking north here, directly entering the Japanese Sea, and then heading towards The Ouchi family attacks.
The remaining two armies are going to bypass Kyushu Island and march towards the Seto Inland Sea and Kanto region of Japan. The final meeting place of the three armies is still Kyoto and Muromachi, the core of the Muromachi shogunate.
Kyoto is the seat of the Japanese king of Japan. The core of Muromachi is also in Muromachi, which is far from Kyoto. The Kyoto area is also the core of Japan.
"Well, I will sweep over from west to east as soon as possible."
Yang Yun, who was in armor, clasped his fists and said that this time he was commanding an army of 10,000 men alone, which was a bit stressful. After all, he was a soldier before. Last time, he was lucky enough to kill the little prince of the prairie, so he was granted the title of Poluhou.
He is a good player when it comes to charging into battle, but he is also a novice when it comes to commanding large armies in battle.
There is no way. The Ming Dynasty in this era really does not have any good generals. Because for a long time, civil servants have dominated military affairs, and the civil service group has suppressed military generals and nobles. Therefore, there are no famous generals at all. After all, the commanders of the army are all It was in the hands of civil servants and eunuchs.
Since there are no famous generals, we can only choose generals from the short ones, so there is a strange combination like Zhang Mao, Yang Yun, and Liu Jin.
I have to say that this is also sad.
Throughout the dynasties, famous generals have emerged in large numbers, but in the Ming Dynasty, except for some famous generals at the founding of the country, there have never been any famous generals since. Even if there were, they were all civil servants and not real generals. of military commanders.
After all, Yang Yun is very brave, and he is also a serious military commander. It can be said that he came to lead the army.
"Take care~"
Liu Jin said solemnly, and then Yang Yun quickly boarded a small boat, and the small boat quickly rowed towards another large boat.
Then the huge fleet was divided into two, continuing to sail all the way to the north, and all the way to the east. It was so majestic that it covered the sky and the sun, like thousands of armies. The momentum was amazing. There were some passing ships in the surrounding sea area. They were all frightened by this huge army and quickly ran away.
"This is Kyushu Island?"
"Above Huo Qu's hospital bed, Zhang Mao looked at the land above the sea with a telescope and said to Liu Jin beside him.
"Yes, this is Kyushu Island. The Japanese country is mainly divided into three parts, Honshu Island, Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island. This Kyushu Island is the only place our Ming Dynasty merchant ships must pass when traveling to the Japanese country. Now the most important families on Kyushu Island are Shikoku Island. There are three families: the Tsu family, the Otomo family, and the Ito family.¡±
"In addition, some areas in the north of Kyushu Island are occupied by the Ouchi family. Among the Japanese pirates near Kyushu Island, we have two main suspects now. One is the Ouchi family, and the other is the Ouchi family."
Liu Jin nodded, and then explained the division of forces on Kyushu Island.
¡°Ouchi, Otomo?¡±
After listening to this, Zhang Mao silently remembered these two families.
In the past two years, the Ouchi family and the Otomo family have been rising rapidly, which is related to the rise of sea trade. The Ouchi family and the Ouchi family have relied on their geographical advantages on the shipping routes to vigorously develop trade with the Ming Dynasty. sea ??trade.
Many times, merchants from the Ming Dynasty only need to transport goods to Kyushu Island and sell the goods to Japanese merchants here on Kyushu Island. The Japanese merchants here on Kyushu Island will then resell the goods and transport the goods to Honshu Island and make a profit. earned a lot.
But this cannot satisfy the appetites of the Ouchi family and the Otomo family. These two families have huge appetites and are also ambitious.
Because of the weakening of the Muromachi shogunate, the control over the daimyo of various places was reduced. The following offenses became the characteristics of the Japanese country in this era. The daimyo of various places also rose up one after another, and they all wanted to replace the Muromachi shogunate and become the actual ruler of the Japanese country.
Especially for this Ouchi family, the current family governor Ouchi Yoshiki is very ambitious. He is trying his best to expand his power. At the same time, he is also quietly supporting the deposed Muromachi shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshisai. He wants to use Ashikaga Yoshisai to Making a fuss is a bit like Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, who wanted to coerce the emperor to order the princes.
 p; "According to the report, at least 10,000 troops have landed so far, and there should be tens of thousands more on the sea."
" Otomo Yiyou said.
"Tens of thousands of troops?"
When Otomo Masaki heard this, he was completely panicked.
In the Japanese country, although the daimyo in various places are princes and kings, each has its own army, but generally there are not too many. Even if a powerful daimyo can have tens of thousands of people in his hands, it is still too many, and they are usually at the level of a thousand. of.
Therefore, the wars in the Japanese and Warring States periods were basically battles between hundreds of people, and a few could reach thousands of people. As for the battles involving tens of thousands of people, they were very few.
There is no way. The Japanese country has too little land and poor resources. There is no way to feed too many people. Naturally, these daimyo will not have too many troops.
It's okay now. When he heard that Ming's army came with tens of thousands of people, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. All the troops, warriors, etc. in his Dayou family totaled less than 2,000 people, which was not enough to serve as a side dish for the other party. Eat.
"Could it be that they knew about our looting of Ming Dynasty merchant ships?"
As Otomo Masachika walked, sweat poured out from his forehead. The Ming Dynasty¡¯s army would not come to the Japanese country for no reason, let alone land in their Higo country, Otomo¡¯s family, for no reason.
"We don't know yet, but the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of our Japanese country. This is the first time that their Ming Dynasty has come to my country. Maybe this time it may be a mission sent by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to come to our Japanese country. It's hard to say."
Otomo Yiyou thought for a while and said.
"Well, we can't rule out this possibility."
Hearing this, Otomo Masachika also breathed a sigh of relief and prayed silently in his heart.
Higo Country is not big. It is said to be a country, but it is actually the size of a county, very small.
At this time, at the small pier on the east coast of Higo Kingdom, large ships were slowly moored at the small pier. The Japanese people in the small port were already scared to death, looking at the mighty ships on the sea. Team, let¡¯s take a look at the ships anchored here in the port.
From the ships here, groups of Ming soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp swords quickly disembarked, and then quickly took control of the entire dock.
¡°Finally set foot on the land of Japan~¡±
Liu Jin followed the army to Kyushu Island, stepped on the land of Kyushu Island, and looked at the low houses at the port. Liu Jin suddenly felt that conquering Japan did not seem to have much sense of achievement.
The Japanese state of this era is not comparable to the Ming Dynasty in any aspect. What's more, after the efforts of Liu Jin in the past few years, the capitalism of the Ming Dynasty has also developed rapidly.
Looking at Tianjin Port, and then here, Liu Jin also shook his head slightly.
"Destroy this Otomo family as soon as possible and go straight to Kyoto, the core of the Japanese country, to see what Kyoto is like. There will be many Japanese people on Douyin in the future who will blow the Japanese country into a paradise on earth. I wish I could die there."
Soon, Liu Jin also remembered some situations before he traveled through time. In the later generations of Japan, it was a developed country in the world, with a very strong economy, technology, culture, etc.
There are many people who go to Japan and make all kinds of boasts. Little do they know that Japan can develop so well without knocking the bones and sucking out the marrow from the Chinese dragon next to it. Not to mention anything else, the compensation from the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1889 alone will make the Japanese country in later generations a lot of money. He ate and became fat.
The landing army quickly became busy, taking control of the port, unloading the cannons, war horses, supplies, etc. on the ship, and then quickly organized the army to prepare to attack the capital of Higo Kingdom, the core of the Otomo family.
To destroy the Dayou family, you don¡¯t need to actually kill everyone in the Dayou family. You only need to wipe out the warrior power of the Dayou family, and then the Dayou family will be destroyed naturally.
The Shimadzu, Ito, and Otomo families on Kyushu Island have a feud. Historically, the Otomo family was destroyed by the Shimazu family.
As long as the army and samurai of the Otomo family are destroyed, other families on Kyushu Island will naturally uproot the Otomo family.
Attacking a small county town is not difficult at all for the 10,000 Ming army armed to the teeth, not to mention the powerful Miyun cannon. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
