The stubborn warriors were willing to fight to the death with the invading Qing invaders under the leadership of the patriarch, but the retainers could not just watch the patriarch go to die.

Otherwise, according to the current Japanese rules, they will all commit seppuku!

Zong Yigao broke away from the retainers beside him, and said with a painful face.

"This battle has been defeated, and the ashigaru warriors under my Muneyoshi clan have suffered heavy losses. If a certain one survives by idling, will he face the elders in his hometown with face?"

While speaking, Zong Yigao wanted to continue to charge forward.

However, the retainer beside him spoke.

"The owner of the house is impossible!"

"I have sent the letterhead asking for help from the shogunate, and I believe the reinforcements will arrive soon."

"My Zongyi family still has a fortress to rely on, and there is no shortage of food, grass and armor in the fortress. It is the best policy to retreat to the fortress and wait for help!"

Under the persuasion of his retainers, the expression on Zong Yigao's face finally changed.

he gritted his teeth.

"it is good!"

"Send the order, withdraw the troops, return to the fortress and stand firm, waiting for reinforcements!"

"..."

After Zong Yigao's military order to withdraw the troops was issued, the Xiaori army formation, which was still gritting its teeth and persevering under the impact of the Qing army's heavy steps and cavalry, collapsed in an instant.

A large number of samurai, ashigaru, dropped their weapons, turned and fled!

A real scene was staged in front of the Qing army, what is called throwing away armor and armor.

"kill!"

"Break the formation, break the formation!"

The soldiers on the horsebacks of the Qing army shouted that the battle would not stop, and urged the horses to gallop.

Driven by the speed of the galloping horse, the sharp spear can easily penetrate several warriors.

In front of the spear driven by the sprint of the horse, the carcass worn by the samurai in the small days is no different from the one made of paper.

The sharp spear tip can easily pierce the bamboo pill on Xiao Zizi's body.

Zong Yigao wanted to withdraw the city fortress and defend it, and stood by for help.

But where is that easy thing?
In front of the cavalry, once the infantry retreated and lost their formation, they would only end up being slaughtered wantonly!

"kill!"

"Fall!"

"Long live the Qing Dynasty!"

"..."

Amidst the shouts, the cavalry of the Qing army recklessly chased after Xiaori's rout.

The ground trampled by the horseshoes kept shaking. The tall horses, the strong knights, and the heavy armor gave off a sense of oppression.

However, it is a pity that the Qing cavalry who have landed now are only a small number after all.

Although they chased the enemy's rout with horses, there were not many enemies they could catch.

Otherwise, Xiaotian would not be given the chance to withdraw the fort at all!

……

On the sea!
Seeing their own land battle and defeating the enemy, all the generals of the Qing army couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Ha ha!"

"Hahaha!"

"The Japanese army is vulnerable!"

"The Japanese are short and cowardly, how can they be the opponents of my Qing Heavenly Soldiers?"

"..."

The Qing army that came out of the monster room in the Central Plains had quite good combat effectiveness.

Just like the Ming army led by Li Dingguo back then, don't look at them being forced by the Qing army to be untenable in the Central Plains.

But when facing the Burmese, they are also invincible!

If Yongli hadn't run too fast at the beginning, lost touch with the army, and led a group of old and weak women and children into Awa, the capital of Myanmar.

It was Ava who arrived with the Ming army under Li Dingguo, and the Burmese king Mangbai probably would not have dared to launch the curse water disaster.

Instead, he will choose to obediently be my loyal minister and filial son of Daming!

When Hetai saw this scene, Lang laughed and said.

"Pass down the order and prepare to send someone to report victory to the imperial court in Incheon!"

For the Qing army, they were not good at water warfare.

But as long as the landing can be completed, Tsushima Island will be in the pocket of the Qing Dynasty.

As for the fortress on Tsushima Island in childhood, the Qing army didn't take it seriously!
It's just a tough fight, I still have some experience in Qing Dynasty!

……

Three years after the restoration of Ming Dynasty, early February!

It was only three or five days after the Qing army's battle on Tsushima Island, Zhu Hongyu received the news of the Qing army's victory in Tsushima Island through a telegram.

After seeing this news, Zhu Hongyu's first reaction was that this wave of my Qing Dynasty was also a shame for the Sino-Japanese War.

"King Yanping, do you think I should allow the North Korean Chamber of Commerce to sell artillery to the Qing?"

Zheng Chenggong entered the palace today to pay his respects to the emperor.

Then, during Zheng Chenggong's greeting, Zhu Hongyu received news of the Qing army's naval battle on Tsushima Island.

And after the North Korean Chamber of Commerce asked whether to sell arms to the Qing army.

Zhu Hongyu left Zheng Chenggong as his staff.

Although the North Korean Chamber of Commerce also sold weapons to the Qing army before, they were all scattered personal businesses.

That is, some swords, armor, and at most muskets or something!

Zhu Hongyu agreed to such a business.

However, what the North Korean Chamber of Commerce asked this time was the sale of artillery and other large items to the Qing army.

Zhu Hongyu couldn't make up his mind for the time being, so he wanted to ask Zheng Chenggong for his opinion.

Zheng Chenggong pondered for a while, then spoke.

"It's all based on His Majesty's Sacred Heart!"

Even if the emperor asks, Zheng Chenggong is unwilling to take the lead. He just wants to live the rest of his life in peace.

It's best to spend a good time before dying, so that the Zheng family won't be too conspicuous to the emperor.

The corner of Zhu Hongyu's mouth twitched, but he still spoke.

"King Yanping just speak out his own thoughts, I will not sin because of my words!"

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong said helplessly.

"The war between Jiannu and Japan is going well now, it's not critical!"

"If my Ming Dynasty wants to sell arms and establish slaves, now is not a good time!"

"It's better to sit back and watch the development of the Qing Dynasty war, and then sell some arms according to the situation."

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu showed approval, nodded and said.

"So good!"

Zheng Chenggong's thinking is similar to that of Zhu Hongyu. No matter whether it is the Qing army or Xiaotian, they have not invested the main force yet.

Although the scale of the battle is not small, it is not too intense!
Now if Daming just sells arms, it's not easy to sit on the ground and raise the price.

The best time for Daming to sell arms is when the war between the two sides has really reached a fever pitch and reached a point where it cannot be fought.

At that time, how many times the price of Daming's arms will be doubled depends on Zhu Hongyu's mood!
After all, ammunition is a real seller's market!

Love it or not!

If you don't want it, I'll sell it to your enemies at a reduced price!
At that time, it will be too late for you to regret it!
After discussing this matter, Zhu Hongyu spoke again.

"I heard that the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate is going to send envoys to Daming?"

Zhu Hongyu said he had heard about it, but he had already confirmed the news.

Asking Zheng Chenggong now, of course, has his purpose.

Zheng Chenggong heard the words and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to what my younger brother said, this time the Japanese sent envoys to Daming, one is to seek trade and repair, and the other is to send Ming envoys to come to our Daming to study Confucian classics."

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Hehe, it's interesting!"

Zhu Hongyu didn't have the slightest liking for Little Days.

Especially the "locust licking" in his childhood, Zhu Hongyu was even more disgusted.

However, Zhu Hongyu was not prepared to refuse the envoy sent by the Japanese this time.

The reason is very simple. Now the Japanese are actively sending envoys to Ming Dynasty, and there is no difference between actively asking Ming Dynasty to carry out a color revolution in Japan.

You know, Xiaotian has a fine tradition of following grams!

Zhu Hongyu promised that among the envoys sent in these days, one counts as one, and all of them will be limped by him!

Confucianism may be a little crotch in other aspects, but it is unique in brainwashing foreigners.

After a few years, when the Qing army invaded and fought continuously outside the small days, and there were deceptive envoys who secretly poked trouble with the support of Daming, I don't believe that he can still keep the country from perishing.

When the time comes, Zhu Hongyu will definitely let Licking Locust and Burni from his childhood be colleagues, and pull them out to perform a dance together if they have nothing to do.

Isn't this more exciting than killing people directly?

In the future, every time the Ming Dynasty destroyed a country, its king would be captured and danced in the Taimiao, and a heavenly group of kings would be formed to force Gela to be full.

At that time, it might be possible to add another side job to Kang Mazi. After the Manchu Qing has no use value and Daming captures Kang Mazi, let him be the head of the Heavenly Regiment of the King of Subjugation.

Who can have such an idea among the emperors in ancient and modern China and abroad?Who can do this?
Zhu Hongyu fantasized about his future plans for the formation of the King of Subjugation, and took a sip from his teacup.

As if remembering something, Zhu Hongyu spoke to Zheng Chenggong.

"The plateau mission is not far from Nanjing, and it will take at most a few days for the mission to enter Beijing."

"When the time comes, please trouble King Yanping to go out of the city to welcome the mission!"

Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong clasped his fists and said.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, indicating that Zheng Chenggong could resign.

After Zheng Chenggong left, Zhu Hongyu sighed.

Now he has a respected status, but he is also feeling what it means to be alone!
After all, even Zheng Chenggong has become respectful and restrained in front of him now.

Zhu Hongyu's heart is very complicated now.

That is, he is obsessed with the power brought by the imperial power, but also wants to have a few friends who can make friends.

However, if he wanted to maintain his current power, no one would dare to say that he would be friends with the emperor.

Even the concubines are very restrained in front of him, um, except when they are on the bed...

Now Zhu Hongyu really feels that he is a very lonely person.

Because, in the entire Ming Dynasty, no one regarded him as a human being anymore. To a certain extent, in terms of his prestige at this time, he was a god walking in the world.

……

On the seventh day of February in the third year of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong left Nanjing with the relevant officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and guards of honor, all the way west, and came to the outside of Nanjing.

Prepare to welcome the plateau mission outside the city to the emperor who is coming to Beijing for a pilgrimage!
After the living Buddha and his party left Sichuan and Shu, they went all the way down the river by boat.

The reason why it took more than a month to arrive in Nanjing from Chengdu was mainly because the Living Buddha was old and seasick.

Every time you walk for a while, you have to rest for a day or two before you can continue walking!
Therefore, the delay was longer, otherwise, it would have been time to enter Beijing long ago.

Perhaps, the living Buddha was also using this to show the emperor that his dissatisfaction was in it.

After all, in the incident in Chengdu, Zhu Hongyu didn't give the mission any face.

Acting old and tough!

If it wasn't for worrying about the strength of Ming's force, perhaps the Living Buddha would lead the team back to the plateau instead of going to Nanjing.

With the support of several monks, the Living Buddha disembarked from the boat at the ferry, and then raised his eyes to see the relevant officials of the Lifan Academy under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

At the diplomatic level, Ming Dynasty had an extremely strict hierarchy.

Countries or regions within the tributary and vassal system of the Ming Dynasty were in charge of the Li Fan Yuan.

It is a relatively high level!

And for those countries that do not have suzerain-vassal relations with Ming Dynasty, Honglu Temple is generally responsible for receiving them.

The treatment and level will be lower!
Well, for Daming now, my rules are the rules, and sooner or later it will become the rules of the whole world!

Feudal states are more important than foreign countries, this is the pride of the Heavenly Kingdom!

Dissatisfied?

Come and practice if you are not convinced!

And standing at the forefront, Zheng Chenggong, wearing a blue satin four-claw prince's python robe.

Seeing the mission disembark, relevant officials approached and introduced Zheng Chenggong's identity to the members of the mission.

"This is the surname of Zheng Guo, King Yanping of the Ming Dynasty. I am ordered by His Majesty to go out of the city to welcome the mission!"

Seeing this, the Living Buddha took the initiative to greet Zheng Chenggong.

"The poor monk has seen the prince!"

Zheng Chenggong stepped forward to salute.

"Living Buddha doesn't need to be too polite!!"

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and we, as courtiers, naturally have to share your majesty's worries."

"Please come to the Lifan Court with me to stay with the Living Buddha!"

Under the guidance of Zheng Chenggong, the mission went to the city of Nanjing.

Looking at the bustling Ming Dynasty capital in front of him, the living Buddha's eyes were full of inexplicable expressions.

How great would it be if this capital of Ming Dynasty could be turned into a Buddhist country?

"Dare to ask the prince, when will His Majesty receive the poor monk?"

Zheng Chenggong heard the words and said.

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so he will meet the Living Buddha when he is free!"

"..."

……

Three days later, the Great Court Meeting!
Zhu Hongyu sat on the dragon chair, accepting the worship of the courtiers with a blank face.

"Your Majesty, my ministers, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Your Majesty, my ministers, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu said in a gentle voice amidst the sound of cheers from the mountains.

"Zhu Qing is flat!"

After Zhu Hongyu's words fell, the courtiers who were worshiping got up from the ground one after another and divided into two groups.

After a routine report on government affairs, an official from the Li Fan Yuan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stood up and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, the plateau mission is seeking an audience outside the Meridian Gate!"

Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke.

"Xuan!"

Zhu Hongyu's gentle voice was transmitted outside the hall through the loudspeaker.

Then the guards in golden armor standing on both sides of the hall spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty has a decree, the envoys will see you!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, the envoys will see you!"

"..."

As the voice was transmitted, the plateau mission waiting outside the palace gate finally received the imperial decree to allow an audience.

Then, under the leadership of the living Buddha, the two deputy envoys walked into the imperial city of Ming Dynasty.

Then step by step towards Fengtian Temple!
