my days with tyrants

Chapter 131 I am invincible tomorrow!

Ningbo...

Ningbo is definitely not going to work.

Now the coast of Daming has entered a state of full combat readiness.

After all, war has officially started against the Wa country.

And the only retaliation that Japan can do is to take advantage of the north wind in winter to harass the southeast coast. Therefore, before the expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang has decreed that all the guards along the coast will be put on alert, and the small warships left behind will patrol the outer sea. Even Zhou Dexing was reactivated...

Zhu Yuanzhang is short of people.

His stall is a bit big now.

The most important thing is to keep an eye on Can Yuan, so the two veterans, Fu Youde and Feng Sheng, cannot move in the north.

Zhu Di has already gone to the Japanese country, Zhu Wei is still in poor health, and Xu Huizu's level cannot reassure him after all, and Fu Youde and Feng Sheng have to sit in charge to ensure that the north is safe.So Fu Youde is still in Beiping, Feng Sheng is in Guanzhong, Xu Huizu is in Taiyuan, Zhou Xing is in Kaiping, Guo Ying is in Liaoyang, Song Sheng is in Gansu, the north can still be said to be the strongest configuration that can be achieved so far.Southern Sapphire is still in Guangxi, and it will be Annan's turn after the Wa Kingdom is settled, so he has to continue to train soldiers. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately threw him there, lest he couldn't help chopping this somewhat domineering guy one day.

Can't kill him.

He has to be kept for Zhu Yunxi.

But looking at him is really getting angry, so let him stay in Guangxi!
The rest of Cao Zhen, Wang Bi and others also have their own responsibilities.

After Zhu Shou, Yang Wen and other coastal generals had almost all gone north, they could only use Zhou Dexing, who was also familiar with the coast and even built a coastal defense system with his own hands, to lead the army to patrol the coast to prevent the Japanese dogs from jumping over the wall to harass Daming.

So Yang Feng couldn't go directly to Ningbo, after all he wanted to surprise Zhu Yuanzhang.

Go to Ryukyu.

Ryukyu.

"understood?"

Yang Feng looked at the Ryukyu King.

At this time, there are three kings of Ryukyu, Shannan, Shanbei, and Zhongshan.

But they were all canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang.

And in front of him was King Zhongshan, who was tremblingly looking at the samurai in his hand, which was the bravest samurai in Ryukyu, and was carried by this guy like a chicken.

He nodded hastily.

The devil-like man in front of me came with a Japanese merchant ship. At this time, Ryukyu relied on maritime trade to establish a country. Daming purchased goods and then sold them to Nanyang. At this time, Ryukyu was like a coachman on the sea in East Asia.However, today was a nightmare. This devil-like man overturned the soldiers on the dock as soon as he got off the boat, and grabbed the dock official by the neck to let the latter take him to his palace.

Then continue to beat the guards.

All the way violently stepping on the screaming guards came to him.

Let him truly feel the oppression of the soul.

"Immortal, the immortal came to this humble place, but I dare not refuse to obey my orders."

He said tremblingly.

Of course he can speak Chinese.

At this time, Ryukyu not only had frequent exchanges with Ming Dynasty, but even a group of Ryukyu scholars were studying in the Imperial College under the gift of Zhu Yuanzhang.

A large number of them were Fujianese.

"Immediately organize a group of tribute envoys to Ming Dynasty. I am the deputy envoy. Give me a name. If you dare to inform me, I will come back and kill your whole country. Anyway, with your small population, it probably won't take long."

Yang Feng threw the bravest warrior aside and said.

Well, his solution is to become a Ryukyu tribute.

Ryukyu Zhongshan King agreed without hesitation.

So only three days later, Ryukyu paid tribute to Daming and congratulated Daming's conquest of the Japanese mission, and set sail for Daming. However, it was winter at this time, so they could not go to Ningbo, so they could only go to Fuzhou.They have many trading ports in Daming, and now Zhu Yuanzhang has liberalized the trade between Ryukyu and North Korea, and all major coastal ports can receive their ships.It’s just that Ryukyu, like North Korea, had to use treasure banknotes for transactions. In fact, they brought gold, silver and copper to Daming, and then exchanged them with the local competent government for treasure banknotes, and then used the exchanged treasure banknotes to purchase.

They have nothing to lose.

Because when the goods they got were resold to Nanyang, they still received metal currency.

But this process supported Zhu Yuanzhang's precious banknotes.

To put it simply, the precious metal belongs to him.

The folks are forced to trade precious banknotes, and dare to trade precious metals in private. All capital offenses include those Ryukyu and North Korean businessmen, so the latter are not stupid, and they have no real losses. Why use precious metals at the risk of beheading?
In fact, it is compulsory settlement.

The vassal states that took advantage of these overseas trades received external precious metals into the hands of the emperor.

What the common people get when they sell their goods is precious banknotes.

And the precious metals are in his hands to maintain the value of the banknotes, but this is still not enough, because the precious metals in his hands are still too small to support free exchange, and if they cannot be freely exchanged, they cannot really support the banknotes.

At present, this is done by a series of means, such as changing to a new version of treasure banknotes to prevent counterfeit banknotes, saving money in banks to reduce market circulation, bank loans to reduce printing volume, and forcing the use of banknotes with a knife, and then maintaining the temporary stability of treasure banknotes.But the printing volume of treasure banknotes is still increasing after all, so it will definitely depreciate. This is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is impatient to attack the country of Japan, using the gold and silver mines of the country of Japan to support free exchange.

Free conversion can ensure the stability of currency value.

As for the more gold and silver, the same will depreciate...

That's not depreciation of treasure notes.

Banknotes are legal.

For treasure banknotes, it will never depreciate, because it is exchanged for those gold and silver coins according to the law. The decline in the purchasing power of gold and silver is a problem of prices, not a problem of treasure banknotes.

In the end, Yang Feng was already a Ryukyu tribute envoy when he set foot on the land of Ming Dynasty again.

Deputy envoy.

His name is Yang Xin.

Ryukyu has a surname Yang, and he is still a famous family.

Fuzhou.

"My lord, I don't know how the Japanese war is going?"

At the banquet, he asked the magistrate.

"Naturally, there are frequent success reports, but Fuzhou is far away, and the residence report was received half a month ago. If you count the Japanese battlefield, it may have been nearly two months ago. The latest good news is that King Yan's army defeated the Japanese again and fought back with Yang Wen. Meet the masters, where is the place where the Marquis of Chuyu will recruit and surrender the Japanese tycoon Qiangsaki Quanji, this seems like a big blow."

The prefect said with a smile.

indeed.

The momentum is overwhelming.

Osaki Kanji is the head of these big names in Oshu. Originally, his family should be the governor of Oshu, but after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu completed the unification, the governor was abolished and the Kamakura government was directly under the jurisdiction.

Date Masamune was the one who led the rebellion by fooling Osaki Kanchi.

Osaki Kanji, him, and the lord of Aizu Ashina Manmori, the three fought against the Kamakura government, but were defeated by Uesugi Tomomune's son and successor Kanto governor Uesugi Zenhide.Now that Osaki Kanchi surrendered to Zhu Shou, it meant that Ashina Mansei and Date Masamune would not be able to fight against Daming, after all, what they wanted was local separatism.

Zhu Yuanzhang can give them.

Although the Fuso Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division will be established in Echigo in the future, it has nothing to do with them.

Originally, the Ashikaga family was under the control of the Kamakura government.

It makes no difference.

Even Daming will give them more.

After all, compared with Daming, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's little financial resources are a joke. The Emperor Daming just plucked a leg hair for them, which is enough for them to live in luxury, and they can drink soup with Daming. Earn money from Japan through trade.

And the surrender of the three of them to Daming actually meant that Daming had obtained the territory he wanted.

The meeting of Zhu Di and Yang Wen means that they are preparing to march from Joetsu to Kamakura.

The rest is the decisive battle.

As for the decisive battle...

Hell if he loses!

Zhu Di, Yang Wen, Zhang Fu, Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan...

What a gorgeous configuration.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was able to be defeated by this group of people, and he was lucky in his three lives.

"I am invincible tomorrow!"

Deputy Yang shouted excitedly.

"I am invincible tomorrow!"

Zhengshi hurriedly shouted.

"Haha, I am invincible tomorrow!"

The prefect also shouted with a smile.

"My lord, there is one more thing. In Ryukyu, I heard that there is a strange man in Ming Dynasty, Yang Feng, who claims to be a descendant of 600 years. I don't know if there is such a thing, but I really want to see him in the capital."

Yang Feng said.

"I can't see the envoy. This person was originally with the army of King Yan to conquer the country of Wa, but when he crossed the sea, an accident happened. The warship he was on accidentally caught fire, causing the gunpowder to explode, and everyone in the boat sank into the sea. But he was just a madman at first. , although he claims to be from the so-called Great Xia Kingdom 600 years later, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, His Majesty used him for some strange skills, so Yourong, now he is dead."

Zhifu stroked his beard and said.

The person next to him looked at Yang Feng tremblingly, and he had obviously guessed it.

but……

Then I dare not.

A monster that wasn't killed by a whole ship of gunpowder!

Yang Feng turned his head and smiled at him sinisterly, which made him suddenly feel the ghostly atmosphere around him, and almost fainted from fright.

In this way, the Ryukyu mission headed northward with the shouts of the invincibility of the Ming Dynasty. This is the first time Yang Feng has penetrated into the southern inland of the Ming Dynasty. However, the inland areas of Fujian are all mountainous, and the population is also small. Zhang Xianzong's home is in this area.Then they left Shanguan and entered Jiangxi, boarded a ship in Jiangxi and began to sail down the Yangtze River. In Nanchang, they got the news that Zhu Di had won the decisive battle in Heyue City.In this version of the Kagoe Battle, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu led the main force of [-] Japanese troops to go northward, against Zhu Di's [-] Ming army, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu needed to allocate [-], led by Uesugi Tomomune to block Zhu Shou who went south from the north.

The latter indeed quickly recruited Date Masamune and Ashina Mansei, and replaced Zhu Yuanzhang with Zhu Di, and made the three of them Xuanfu envoys. In addition, of course, there were some small tyrants who were also appointed officials.

They all became chieftains of Ming Dynasty.

hereditary.

Clearly tell them hereditary replacement.

In this way, Olu, Izuha, and Echigo all belonged to Daming.

Then they gathered more than 1 elites and happily followed Zhu Shou's left army to the south.

So in the end, it was [-] Japanese troops against [-] Ming troops on the Heyue battlefield.

The winner is of course Zhu Di.

The Ming army first bombarded the Japanese army formation with a large number of rapid-fire guns. Even if it was not a thousand catties of rapid-fire guns, it was only one or two hundred catties or even tens of catties, which would absolutely crush the Japanese army.

The latter did not even have firearms.

He bow is a heavy arrow with good armor-piercing effect but short range. It is basically a thing that can shoot against the three-eyed gun. It may not even catch up with the three-eyed gun. It is completely slaughtered against a bunch of rapid-fire guns.What's more, the Ming army also had curved Hongwu cannons, which could even bombard the rear of the formation. In the end, the Japanese army could not maintain the formation soon.

After blasting the formation, the cavalry charged.

Tan Yuan's fierce generals continued to trample on them with all four hooves.

They are all real fierce generals, Li Rusong is strong in any Fangbiguan, but at this time the Japanese army is not as good as Bidiguan, although Tan Yuan is bullied by Yang Feng once, but he is actually an absolute fierce general.

Such a group of ferocious beasts are really trampling!
While the cavalry charged, the infantry followed up, and the three-eyed musketeers fired and charged.

Japanese army corpses littered the field.

Zhu Di's victory memorial stated that he beheaded [-] people and captured [-] enemies, while Zhu Shoubu also achieved great success on the northern front, beheading [-] people and capturing Uesugi Zenhide, the son of Uesugi Tomomune.

Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lost one-third, and he was no longer able to fight again.

Heyue City was subsequently breached.

Of course, he didn't lose.

After all, he could retreat into the mountainous area for defense, and it would be very difficult for the Ming army to continue marching westward, because the logistics supply was insufficient, and there was no logistical problem in Heyue City, which was only [-] kilometers away from Shangyue.

But Xiangxi has to be entangled in the mountains.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not prepared to do this.

The reason why Kagoe Castle has become a strategically important place is because it is the center of the Musashi Kingdom, that is, the center of the Kanto Plain. Opening Kawagoe Castle means that you can directly march into Kamakura. Then it is enough to seal Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the king of the Wa Kingdom, so smart people like Ashikaga Yoshimitsu should have already chosen to seek peace, and it is time for the two sides to negotiate next, but the war did go smoothly.

Zhu Di personally conquered!

It's no wonder it doesn't go well!

Then Deputy Envoy Yang continued to shout in Nanchang that I am invincible tomorrow.

He continued to drift towards Nanjing amidst the shouts that I am invincible tomorrow. When he arrived in Nanjing, it was already the first month of the 28th year of Hongwu. When they arrived, the messenger of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also arrived in Taicang.So His Majesty the Emperor was very happy with the Ryukyu tribute envoy in such a hurry. After all, he had just defeated him to seek peace, and on the other hand, he had always been obedient to him.

Again……

I am invincible tomorrow!

But after Yang Feng arrived in Nanjing, he declared that he was seriously ill...

There are too many acquaintances, so I can only hide first.

Otherwise, it would be easy to be recognized when going out. In fact, he already needs makeup now, that is, to smear his face to make himself look as dark as Zhengshi. In addition, his beard has not been trimmed for a long time. It was difficult to recognize him.

Of course, if he is seriously ill, he doesn't need to see Zhu Yuanzhang. Besides, he has an official envoy. It doesn't matter whether he goes as a deputy envoy or not. Envoys, tribute envoys of the Japanese state, and the tributes of the three Xuanfu envoys of Deba, Aizu, and Olu from Daming.

And open Royal Street that day.

The Qianbulang commercial street outside Chengtianmen is open to the common people.

Let these vassals see the prosperity of Ming Dynasty.

This is obviously a good opportunity to surprise him.
