My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 359 The situation changes suddenly
"What conditions?"

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu heard that Zhu Zhanhe really had conditions, and immediately asked with a serious expression, he was worried that the other party would open his mouth and put forward a condition that he could not agree to.

"We need a foothold in Honshu, and I think Iwami is pretty good."

Zhu Zhanhe smiled calmly and put forward his own conditions.

The silver mine in Shi Jian country was one of the reasons Zhu Zhanhe used to persuade Zhu Di to send troops. He was worried about how to occupy Shi Jian country, but he did not expect Ashikaga Yoshiko to come to his door. Of course, such a good opportunity should not be missed .

"You have already occupied more than half of Kyushu, and you still want to get involved in this state?"

Ashikaga Yoshinori was taken aback when he heard the words, and even suspected that the purpose of Ming's dispatch of troops this time might be to annex the whole of Japan, rather than being limited to Kyushu Island.

"Japan is so mountainous that it's not suitable for farming. It's actually a disadvantage for us to occupy your territory, so I only have Iwami country on Honshu Island, and I'm not interested in touching other places."

Zhu Zhanhe said with a slight smile.

"Ishi Jian country is also a big mountain, why do you want to occupy there?"

Ashikaga Yoshitsugu still asked in puzzlement.

"You don't need to know about this. I only want Shi Jianguo. This is the condition for us to support you to return to the capital and seize the power of the shogunate. If you don't want to, then forget about it and I will send someone to send you back!"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't want to explain, and said directly and arrogantly.

Facing the tough Zhu Zhanhe, Ashikaga Yoshinori also showed a silent expression, he can be sure that Daming definitely has ulterior motives when he wants to leave Shi Jianguo.

But it is a pity that with the current situation of Yoshinori Ashikaga, he has no capital to bargain with Daming at all. If Zhu Zhanhe sends him back, he will only have a dead end at that time, so he has no other choice at all.

"Okay! I promise you!"

Ashikaga Yoshitsuji finally gritted his teeth and said, the most important thing now is to save his own life, and then look for opportunities to seize the power of the shogunate. As for other things, he can't care about them.

"Very good, I believe that when you become the new general of the shogunate in the future, you will definitely be grateful for your choice today!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed and said, he knew that the Ashikaga Yoshinori would definitely agree.

Then Zhu Zhanhe asked someone to draft a treaty, the content of which was very simple. Daming promised to help Ashikaga Yoshinori evacuate to Kyushu Island and provide them with asylum. In the future, he would also provide them with some necessary support to help him capture the shogun position, and Ashikaga Yoshinori promised to cede Ishimi country to Daming as a resident.

After reading the conditions, Ashikaga Yoshisuke found that there was no problem, so he signed his name with Zhu Zhanhe.

It wasn't until this time that Yoshitsugu Ashikaga knew that the young general in front of him was actually named Zhu, but he knew it was the surname of Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the young man in front of him was from the royal family of Ming Dynasty?

In fact, there is no need to keep Zhu Zhanhe's identity secret now. After all, the entire Kyushu is almost occupied by Da Ming, and the Da Nei family is also swaying. It is very likely that they will fall to Da Ming's side, so there is no need to worry about Zhu Zhanhe's safety. up.

Following the signing of the treaty, Zhu Zhanhe also immediately summoned Zhang Fu, told him the identity of the Ashikaga Yoshinori and the conditions reached by the two, and ordered Zhang Fu to prepare a fleet to follow the Ashikaga Yoshinori to the north and send Uesugi Shi Xian and others took them back to Kyushu.

Half a month later, Ken Uesugi, who had been sticking to Kamakura, suddenly disappeared, including the thousands of remnants of his soldiers, which shocked the shogunate troops who were besieging them.

Until half a month later, the disappearing Uesugi Ken and Ashikaga Yoshitsuru suddenly appeared on Kyushu Island, counting Ashikaga Yoshichi's crimes, and publicly announced their support for Prince Kanwa's crusade against Ashikaga Yoshichi.

Ashikaga Yoshichi did not expect that Ashikaga Yoshinori and Uesugi Ken would collude with the Ming people and openly support Kanwa, a remnant of the Southern Dynasty. Most importantly, it is impossible to determine whether Kanwa's identity is true or not.

Faced with this situation, Ashikaga Yoshichi was also very annoyed. Before he endured not sending troops, he wanted to concentrate his forces to quell the Uesugi Ken's rebellion, but now that the Uesugi clan has fled to Kyushu, Ashikaga Yoshichi can finally Troops have been drawn.

So under such circumstances, Ashikaga Yoshichi gave an order, not only mobilizing his own army, but also ordering the daimyos from all over the place to send troops in the name of expelling foreign enemies.

Regarding Daming's invasion, there were many people in the Wa country who wanted to fight back. After all, no matter how they fought before, it was also their internal conflict. But now that the powerful dragon of Daming is here, they must of course unite and drive each other out of themselves. territory.

It’s just that Ashikaga Yoshichi used to be busy dealing with the internal turmoil in the shogunate, so he didn’t have time to pay attention to Daming. Now the internal turmoil has finally been quelled, so as the shogunate took the lead, other daimyos naturally responded one after another, and soon gathered tens of thousands of troops. It is necessary to launch a counterattack against Kyushu.

However, at this critical moment, Ouchi Shengjian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up and accused Ashikaga Yoshichi, saying that after he became a general, he behaved indiscriminately, cronyism, and suppression of dissidents were also the source of internal disputes in the shogunate in recent years.

Therefore, Ouchi Morijian said that he will join Ashikaga Yoshitsuru to attack Ashikaga Yoshichi until he quits the shogunate.

Ouchi Shengjian's statement immediately caused a huge commotion within the Wa country. Although Ouchi Yoshihiro died in battle, the Ouchi family, as one of the most powerful daimyos in the Wa country, still controls the land of the four countries.

The most important thing is that the Ouchi clan's territory spans Kyushu and Honshu Island. If Ashikaga Yoshichi wants to attack Kyushu, he must pass through the Ouchi clan's territory, and vice versa.

But now the Ouchi clan is actually standing with Daming, which means that if Ashikaga Yoshichi wants to attack Kyushu, he must first solve the Ouchi clan.

Of course, Ashikaga Yoshichi could also send troops directly from the sea, but now everyone knows that Daming's navy is extremely powerful, and the joint navy formed by various daimyos in Kyushu was easily defeated by Daming's navy.

Therefore, if troops are dispatched from the sea, I am afraid that Ashikaga Yoshichi's navy will encounter the obstruction of the Daming Navy before they reach Kyushu Island. When a naval battle is over, their entire army may be wiped out.

Regarding Ouchi Moriken's betrayal at a critical moment, Ashikaga Yoshimura was furious, and even said harshly that he would raise troops to destroy the Ouchi clan before marching into Kyushu.

But just as Ashikaga Yoshichi uttered harsh words to Ouchi, Daming's navy suddenly appeared near Kamakura, and then launched a round of shelling on Kamakura's port, and then set fire to the port.

Before Uesugi’s constitution retreated, Kamakura was re-occupied by Ashikaga Yoshichi. The shogunate army that besieged Uesugi’s constitution before was stationed in Kamakura and did not retreat. As a result, it was dizzy by the fire.

This is obviously Daming's actual actions to show his support for Ouchi's grand opinion. As long as Ashikaga Yoshimoto dares to send troops to attack Ouchi, then Daming's navy will attack more ports.
