My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 350

The Ashikaga shogunate finally sent envoys to the door, but Zhu Zhanhe wanted to take the opportunity to place a chess piece of his own inside the shogunate.

The envoy Shiba Yoshino was born in the Shiba clan, who used to be powerful in Japan, but now he is being suppressed by Ashikaga Yoshichi, and the Shiba clan is also going downhill, so Zhu Zhanhe took the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the Shiba clan and the Ashikaga shogunate.

"Yoshino Shiba, I can say for sure that if you Shibashi don't find another way out, you will only get more and more neglected in the future, and eventually start to wither, even worse than ordinary daimyos."

At this time Zhu Zhanhe said to Shibo Yoshino again, the hint in the words was already obvious.

Shiba Yoshino heard the words, and the expression on his face changed again. In fact, just a few years ago, his elder brother Shiba Yoshishige had already been driven away by Ashikaga Yoshichi because of a small mistake, which caused Shiba's power to become much worse than before. Many people in Kyoto were talking behind their backs, and Spode's might be about to decline because of this.

Thinking of this, Yoshino Shiba showed a struggling look on his face. The general of the Ming Dynasty in front of him was already hinting at recruiting Shibo himself. In fact, he wanted to place a chess piece in Japan. Daming's attention revived Spock's prestige.

But the risk is also obvious. After all, Daming is an outsider. If it is not good for them to enter Japan, the big deal is to pat their ass and leave, but they can't leave. The catastrophe.

After a while, Yoshino Shiba finally spoke, "Thank you General for reminding me, but I, Shibashi, have my own opinion!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Shiba Yoshino finally felt that it was too risky to cooperate with Daming, so he rejected Zhu Zhanhe's offer.

Seeing that the other party refused, Zhu Zhanhe was not surprised. After all, it is basically impossible to recruit an insider with just a few words, and he was just trying the other party's tone. Other Japanese are willing to cooperate with them.

"General, the shogunate sent me here to ask what conditions are needed before Daming is willing to retreat?"

Shiba Yoshino stood up straight at this moment, and asked Zhu Zhanhe again as an envoy.

If necessary, Ashikaga Yoshichi is not willing to meet Daming Swordsman, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't.

Although Ashikaga Yoshichi succeeded in taking the position of general, some old nobles in the Southern Dynasty have been making troubles in recent years, so the shogunate needs to mobilize a large number of troops to contain the power of these old nobles. If he sends troops to fight against Ming Dynasty now, in case those The old nobles of the Southern Dynasty took the opportunity to make trouble, and the consequences might be disastrous.

Therefore, before Shiba Yoshino set off, Ashikaga Yoshichi told him to try his best to negotiate terms with Daming, as long as Daming was willing to withdraw, he was willing to pay a huge price, such as compensation for Daming’s losses caused by Japanese pirates, as well as the money and supplies lost by sending troops, etc. .

"condition?"

At this moment, Zhu Zhanhe glanced at Shiba Yoshino with a half-smile, and then said.

"It is impossible for us to withdraw our troops. This time we are sending troops at the request of Prince Kanwa, the son of Prince Huailiang, to help him quell the rebellion in Japan. The source of the rebellion is the Ashikaga Shogunate, unless you let Ashikaga Yoshihisa restrain himself , come to Kyushu to accuse us!"

"General, don't go too far, such a condition simply forces us to fight to the death with Daming!"

Shiba Yoshino roared angrily when he heard this.

"Hehe, are you in a hurry?"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled calmly, then raised his eyebrows and continued.

"If Ashikaga Yoshichi is unwilling to plead guilty, it's not impossible. I heard that most of the Kyushu belonged to Prince Huailiang at the beginning. Now that Kuanhe comes back, the Kyushu will naturally be returned to him, so you go back and tell Ashikaga Yoshinori Hold on, put Kyushu under the name of Kuanhe, and then I, Ming, will naturally retreat."

"You...you actually want to occupy the entire Kyushu!"

Shibo Yoshino was shocked again when he heard the words. As for Zhu Zhanhe's nonsense that Kyushu would be assigned to Kuanhe and that Daming would retreat, he didn't believe it at all. After all, it is impossible to rule with only one person. The whole of Kyushu.

"It's not that we occupy Kyushu, but let Kuanhe rule Kyushu. This is an essential difference!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled and corrected.

If it really occupied the entire Kyushu, it would be impossible for Da Ming to retreat. At that time, he would only need to ask Kuanhe to issue an order to ask Da Ming to help him garrison Kyushu.

"This is impossible. We cannot confirm the identity of Kuanhe, and even if he is really the son of Prince Huailiang, he is not qualified to occupy the entire Kyushu!"

Shiba Yoshino said excitedly again.

Even Prince Huailiang did not occupy the entire Kyushu at the beginning, but was supported by various famous names in Kyushu, such as the Juchi family and Otomo family, who were all subordinates of Prince Huailiang.

But now Daming has defeated the armies of Dayou clan, Juchi clan and others, obviously wanting to rule Kyushu directly, which is very different from Prince Huailiang.

"Hmph! This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. I don't think your shogunate has any sincerity at all. If that's the case, then we can only meet on the battlefield!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally showed an annoyed expression and said angrily.

"General, our shogunate did come here with sincerity, but the conditions you put forward are too much, sorry we can't agree!"

Shibo Yoshino gritted his teeth and replied, he knew that what he said might anger the young general, but there was no way, as an envoy, he would never agree to such a condition, not to mention that even if he agreed, the shogunate behind him would not agree to it. won't admit it.

"Come on, send them back!"

With a big wave of his hand, Zhu Zhanhe saw off the guest directly. Since the conversation has collapsed, there is no need to keep the other party.

In fact, this was also within Zhu Zhanhe's expectations. This time he met Shiba Yoshino, in fact, he wanted to test the bottom line of the Japanese country. It is estimated that the other party also had the same idea, so it was impossible to negotiate a result.

Shiba Yoshino finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party wanted to send him away, and he did not hurt the envoy like last time. Although the negotiation failed, at least he could return to Kyoto safely.

After Shibo Yoshino left, Zhu Zhanhe analyzed the current situation.

The Japanese in Kyushu have been defeated by themselves, and it is only a matter of time before Ashikaga Yoshichi sends a large army into Kyushu to conquer the entire Kyushu. It is possible to resist their offensive.

And Zhu Zhanhe's strategic goal this time is to win the entire Kyushu. If Ashikaga Yoshimoto dares to send troops into Kyushu, he can only teach the opponent a severe lesson, so that they will never dare to enter Kyushu again.

But at this moment, a guard suddenly came in to report: "I want to report to your prince, the British government sent someone to send a Japanese, saying that the other party has something important to see your prince!"
