My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 358 Ashikaga Yoshinori
On the dining table, Zhu Yong gnawed fiercely with a big elbow in his arms, looking like a starved ghost reincarnated.

Seeing Zhu Yong's appearance, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but worry and said: "Brother Zhu, if you can't hold on, why don't you let it go?"

"No, Mr. British is deliberately embarrassing me. I still don't believe it. Why can't I do what he can do?"

Zhu Yong took a bite of the pork and said vaguely.

Zhu Yong's visit to Kyushu this time was not only to reward the three armies, but also to follow Zhu Di's order to follow Zhang Fu and learn how to lead troops in war.

Although Zhu Yong had served in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion before, he had no experience in leading troops in battle. Therefore, taking this opportunity, Zhu Di wanted to exercise Zhu Yong's ability, so he was asked to serve under Zhang Fu to accumulate some experience.

As a result, Zhang Fu was not polite to Zhu Yong, and directly sent him 2000 troops to quell a rebellion in the southern part of the country.

The scale of this rebellion was not large. It was an aristocrat from the Hyuga Kingdom who was dissatisfied with Ming's occupation of Kyushu, so he rebelled. Rebellions like this also happen in Kyushu from time to time. Zhang Fu has extinguished this kind of rebellion many times. .

After Zhu Yong received the order, he immediately led his troops to put down the rebellion. However, because of the long distance, he suffered a lot on the road, and even almost ran out of food for a time. Finally, he went to the south of Hyuga and quelled the rebellion after hardships.

But after Zhu Yong came back, he was scolded by Zhang Fu, because although he won the battle, the casualties exceeded expectations, and because Zhu Yong lacked experience and did not prepare in advance, various problems occurred on the march.

So in the end, Zhang Fu judged that Zhu Yong's merits and demerits in this battle were equal, which was equivalent to Zhu Yongbai's busy life, but he failed to get any credit.

Looking at Zhu Yong who has lost a few rounds of weight, Zhu Zhanhe is also a little helpless, but he also knows that in such things as war, you must practice your real skills on the battlefield. Zhu Yong is indeed a little tender now, don't worry. Compared with Zhang Fu, even Liu Rong, Zhang Fu and others are much stronger than Zhu Yong.

A table of delicacies was eaten up by Zhu Yong, and then he bid farewell to Zhu Zhanhe and left.

Because Zhang Fu assigned Zhu Yong a new task, this time the task was relatively easy, requiring him to lead troops to garrison in one place, and at the same time drill some newly recruited Japanese soldiers.

Looking at Zhu Yong who left, Zhu Zhanhe also smiled slightly. In fact, this is also good. After all, Zhu Yong can only grow up if he has truly experienced the battlefield. Maybe he can really succeed Zhang Fu in the future.

But just as Zhu Yong left, Zhang Fu hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, when we were patrolling the sea, we found a Japanese warship, and the Japanese on board were very unusual. , so I brought him to see the prince!"

"Unusual identity? Who is he?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked in surprise.

"He refused to say his name, but he said he was from Ashikaga!"

Zhang Fei replied immediately.

"Ashikashi!"

Zhu Zhanhe was also very shocked when he heard the words, someone from the Ashikaga family came to see him, could it be said that they were sent by Ashikaga Yoshichi?
"Bring him in!"

Zhu Zhanhe gave orders immediately.

Zhang Fu agreed, and immediately went out to lead the people in person.

After a while, a fair-looking Japanese man who looked quite gentle was brought in.

"Who are you?"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at the other party before asking.

This white and clean Japanese was also looking at Zhu Zhanhe. He probably didn't expect that the general of Daming was so young, so his face was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to normal, and immediately saluted: "I am Ashikaga Yoshinori, and I pay my respects to General Daming!"

"Ashikaga Yoshiki? Who are you, Ashikaga Yoshichi?"

Zhu Zhanhe showed a surprised expression again when he heard the other party's name, and immediately asked.

Japanese people have no taboos in naming names. Sons often use the words in their father's name. For example, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's son is called Ashikaga Yoshichi, so Zhu Zhanhe is not sure who this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is.

"General Qi, Yoshichi is my elder brother. When my father was still alive, he used to love me the most. So after Yoshichi became the general, he targeted me everywhere. Last year I was forced to have nowhere to go. This is why he joined the Uesugi family to work together. Raised troops, and conquered Kamakura and other places."

Ashikaga Yoshinori was very frank, not only confessing his identity, but also telling about his participation in the Uesugi Clan's rebellion.

"It turns out that you are the one who raised the army with Ken Uesugi. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you. If you hadn't restrained Ashikaga Yoshichi's troops, I am afraid we would not have conquered Kyushu so easily."

It is rare to meet a candid person, Zhu Zhanhe replied very candidly.

"General, Yoshichi is our common enemy, I think we can cooperate on some things!"

Ashikaga Yoshitsuji said again very directly.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows and asked with an interested expression.

"To tell you the truth, the general, we started our army last year, but we were hit hard by Giji, and now we can't hold on anymore, so I hope the general can help us withdraw to Kyushu and provide us with a place of refuge!"

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu stood up straight and said calmly again.

"Haha~, this is not called cooperation, but my unilateral assistance. Don't get this wrong!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe laughed and said, asking for help is so calm, this Ashikaga Yoshinori is also a wonderful person.

"No, I'm not mistaken. Although we are indeed going to be defeated, as long as Uesugi and I are still alive, it will be a huge threat to Yoshichi. Even if we can counterattack the capital in the future and seize the power of the shogunate, we will eventually be able to General Shi will definitely get a bigger reward!"

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu replied plausibly.

"What you said is just drawing cakes."

Zhu Zhanhe shook his head, and did not agree with Ashikaga Yoshitsuru's words.

Ashikaga Yoshitsuru's expression also changed when he heard the words, and he unconsciously showed a bit of anxiety. After all, they were really desperate, so they had no choice but to come to Daming for help. If the other party was unwilling to help them, then they might have to wait. died.

"But it's not impossible for me to help you, and I can even support you to fight back to the shogunate and win the power of Japan in the future!"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly laughed again at this moment.

"Really?"

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu's eyes widened excitedly, but then he asked with a vigilant expression.

"General, you will definitely not help us for no reason. Are there any additional conditions?"

"You are very smart, I do have an additional condition, as long as you agree to me, then I can help you!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed again.
