Chapter 839: Muromachi Shogunate: I Also Want To Use This Sword Of The Ming Dynasty [Please Subscrib
Honshu Island, Muromachi Shogunate.
The current shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at the retainers and generals below and said seriously:
"The Ming army came in force and destroyed the Ishimi, Tango, Noto and Bizen kingdoms of the Northern Dynasty one after another!"
"How do you think we should respond?!!"
After hearing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's words, the generals below immediately became excited and said:
"Call back immediately!"
"How can we let the Ming army show off its power on our land of Japan!"
"Since the Ming army dares to attack in a large scale, we must show them how powerful we are waiting for!"
"In the past, the Yuan invaders could not get any benefit from us, so how can the Ming army be an exception now!"
"Let's just attack with the whole army, leave all the Ming army behind, and use the lives of the Ming army to warn the Ming Dynasty that we, the Japanese country, are not easy people!"
Compared with the retainers and generals of the Northern Emperor and the retainers and generals of the Southern Emperor, the Muromachi Shogunate's generals were much more ambitious.
At least after knowing that the Ming army launched a massive attack and destroyed four local kingdoms, the first thought of the Muromachi shogunate generals was to send troops to fight back, rather than fear or fear.
The reason why there is such a mentality is also related to the fact that the Yuan Dynasty conquered the Japanese twice eastward, and the entire army was wiped out by the divine wind both times.
And under the leadership of Ashikaga Takauji and Ashikaga Yoshigetsu, the first and second generation shoguns, they overthrew the Kamakura shogunate, forced Emperor Go-Daigo to abdicate, reopened the Muromachi shogunate, and established a separate emperor Go-Daigo. Continuous defeats and so on.
To put it bluntly, their mental energy was cultivated under the stimulation of various victories in the past.
Now I am in the arrogant and arrogant state of mind of being the second in heaven and my boss.
However, if they are allowed to further defeat Ming's army, then this arrogant and arrogant psychological state will transform into a true and true psychological self-confidence.
At that time, the glorious image of majesty and power planted in the hearts of the Japanese nation by the past dynasties of the Central Plains will be completely shattered.
Even though the Japanese country is small and narrow, they will no longer regard themselves as inferior Japanese people inferior to the Han people in the Central Plains.
Instead, they will put themselves on the same status as the Central Plains Dynasty and the Central Plains Han people, and even go one step further to put themselves above the Central Plains Dynasty and the Central Plains Han people!
In the future, the Ming Dynasty, or other Central Plains dynasties, would like to once again rely on the majesty and powerful aura accumulated by the Celestial Kingdom in the past 513 years.
When facing the Japanese country and the Japanese, it would be very difficult to achieve the result of defeating the enemy without fighting, or to crush the advantage with one against five or one against ten.
Upon hearing the request of the generals below to fight, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at some of the other retainers who had not yet spoken, wanting to see if they had any different opinions.
Feeling the gaze of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, other retainers who had not yet spoken also knew that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not satisfied with the suggestions put forward by the ministers who had just spoken.
After knowing this, most of the retainers knew what advice Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to hear, and they immediately stood up and said tactfully:
"General, please don't directly conflict with the Ming army for the time being!"
"First of all, we don't know how many troops the Ming Dynasty has sent to attack our country. If we rashly send troops to fight the Ming army, we may suffer a hidden loss.
"Secondly, it is easy to expel the Ming army or even destroy it. However, in the process of expelling and destroying the Ming army, even the Japanese warriors like me were not afraid of death and were brave and good at fighting." 1
"However, if too many ants kill the elephant, we will inevitably suffer losses."
"If we suffer more losses in the process of expelling and destroying the Ming army, then the Southern Dynasty, which was previously suppressed by us, will most likely take this opportunity to attack us again.
north!"
"By then, even if we can suppress the Southern Dynasty again, we will also suffer heavy losses in the process of suppression.'
"After all, the warriors of the Southern Dynasties come from the same origin as us. They are all equally brave and fearless of death, equally brave and good at fighting, and equally far superior to the Ming army."
"So if we want to suppress the Southern Dynasty warriors, we will inevitably have to pay a higher price than expelling the Ming army and destroying the Ming army.'
"With such a severe loss of vitality, the time for our Northern Dynasty to reunify the Japanese and Southern Dynasties will inevitably be delayed a lot.'
"For us, the unification of the northern and southern dynasties of Japan should still be our top priority at the moment."
Upon hearing this, the other generals who had just asked for a fight immediately expressed dissatisfaction:
"Is it possible that in order to unify the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan, can we tolerate the Ming army to continue to run rampant on our land?!!"
"You can tolerate it, but we can't tolerate it!!!"
"Besides, you underestimate us too much!"
"What does the Ming army mean? There will be no loss at all if we attack them!"
"Even after attacking the Ming army, we still have enough strength to suppress the warriors of the Southern Dynasty!"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stretched out his hand and pressed it softly. The noisy generals immediately gradually became quiet, and then they looked at the retainer who had just spoken and said:
"You have also heard that even if the shogunate wants to unify the northern and southern dynasties of Japan as its top priority, it cannot continue to allow the Ming army to run rampant in Japan and damage the majesty of Japan.
"Do you have any other suggestions for this?!!"
The retainer who just spoke nodded and said confidently:
"Of course there is!"
"As far as I know, when the Han people send out armies, they all pay attention to one division's reputation!"
"In other words, the reason why the Ming army attacked us must be because we did something to anger the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty raised troops to attack us!"
"Therefore, we might as well send an envoy to contact the Ming army first, and ask why Ming attacked us.
"Let's see if there is any 'misunderstanding' in it. If there is really a 'misunderstanding', then both parties can resolve the 'misunderstanding'."
"We can even show a little weakness without humiliating the Japanese country, so as to achieve the effect of subduing the enemy's troops without fighting and causing the Ming Dynasty to retreat.
"If the Ming Dynasty's master is unknown, then we can tell other small countries that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack us."
"For example, the Kingdom of Koryo, Annan, Champa, etc., used this to make other small foreign countries also have a certain degree of panic towards the Ming Dynasty, thus forming a kind of vassal pressure."
"Forcing Ming to take into consideration the feelings of other small foreign countries, it had to withdraw its troops from us."
"If the Ming army is still unwilling to retreat, then they will fight hard!"
"Drive the Ming army out, and even let the Ming army be buried in the Japanese country like the Yuan invaders in the past!"
"However, expelling the Ming army and defeating the Ming army cannot be just a matter for us in the Northern Dynasties."
"After all, the Ming army is not attacking the Northern Dynasties like us, nor the Southern Dynasties, but the entire Japanese kingdom!"
"In other words, every place in the entire Japanese country is responsible for protecting the Daimyo and resisting the Ming army."
"So instead we can use this opportunity to summon the Southern Dynasty and the guardian daimyo from various places to gather in the Northern Dynasty to discuss the fight against the Ming army."
"In this process, we can form an anti-Ming coalition and occupy a dominant position in this anti-Ming coalition."
"At that time, in the process of expelling the Ming army or even destroying the Ming army, we can secretly mobilize the guardian daimyo from other places and the samurai from the Southern Dynasty to attack the Ming army.
"On the one hand, it can further weaken (bhba) the strength of the Southern Dynasties."
"Secondly, we can also further eliminate the powerful forces that protect the Daimyo.
"As for our shogunate, we can take the opportunity to retain our maximum strength."
"Wait until the anti-Ming coalition led by our shogunate drives out the Ming army, and even destroys the Ming army."
"The prestige of our shogunate will definitely be greatly strengthened. In addition, after fighting against the Ming army, our shogunate will retain the strongest strength."
"At that time, for us and the shogunate to unify the two dynasties of the south, it will only be a matter of course and a matter of course."
After listening to the retainer's words, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finally showed a satisfied smile on his face and said:
"This is a wonderful statement!"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was naturally furious when he first heard the news that the Ming army had launched a massive attack on Japan and had successively destroyed the Iwami, Tango, Noto, and Bizen kingdoms.
But after being furious, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was also keenly aware that the sudden massive attack by the Ming army might also be an opportunity for their Muromachi shogunate.
Today's Japanese country is like a piece of broken porcelain.
There were two dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, opposing each other at the top, and at the bottom there were various local guardians of the feudal dynasties.
If he wanted to reunite the divided Japanese country, he would need to spend a lot of time to first eliminate the powerful forces protecting the daimyo one by one.
Then, by eliminating the power of the powerful local guardian daimyo, we can either peacefully unify the Southern Dynasties or unify the Southern Dynasties by force.
In this way, the ruling status of the Muromachi shogunate can be determined and the rule of the Muromachi shogunate can be maintained.
In fact, he did so in the original history.
But now that there is an external force like the Ming army's massive invasion, he no longer needs to spend so much time slowly trying to do it.
He could completely use the external threat of the Ming army to force the Southern Dynasty and other powerful local guardian daimyo to actively unite with him to jointly fight, expel and destroy the Ming army.
Then in the process of fighting, expelling, and destroying the Ming army, they subtly captured and controlled the samurai forces that guarded the Daimyo in the Southern Dynasties and other powerful places.
In the end, the Southern Dynasty and other powerful local guardian daimyo were quietly annexed and solved, and then a court that truly ruled with the Muromachi Shogunate as the core was established!
And he himself, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, was the supreme ruler and powerful person of the Muromachi Shogunate!
It is not impossible for him to replace the Northern Emperor Gokomatsu and become the new emperor!
Thinking of this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu first looked at the retainer who had given advice before and ordered:
"First send an envoy to the Ming army and ask them why they invaded our country in large numbers."
"If they are willing to retreat now, then we can forget about it."
"But if they are still stubborn, don't blame me, the Japanese warriors, for keeping them all on the Japanese land!"
The retainer immediately nodded sharply and responded loudly:
"Hi!"
Then Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at the other generals and arranged:
"In the name of the shogunate, you send an invitation letter to the guardian daimyo of the Southern Dynasty and other places, and invite them to come to the Muromachi shogunate in Kyoto to discuss together how to expel and destroy the Ming army!"
“The letter emphasized that the Ming army had successively destroyed Iwami, Tango, Noto, and Bizen countries, and that Iwami, Tango, Noto, and Bizen had almost no resistance.
"
"Warn them that if they continue to resist the Ming army with the power of one order to control the country, then the fate of the previous Iwami Kingdom, Tango Kingdom, Noto Kingdom, and Bizen Kingdom will be the same as theirs in the future.
That's what happened!"
"So the best way is for all of us to unite.
"In this way, we can ensure that the country we belong to will not be destroyed by the Ming army, and we can also drive the Ming army out of the land of Japan!"
"Even if all the Ming troops were allowed to stay on the land of Japan, even their souls would not be able to return to their homeland!"
"In the process of expelling and destroying the Ming army, we in the Northern Dynasty will not use troops against the Southern Dynasty, and at the same time we will not allow any conflict between the guardian daimyo in any place!"
"What if someone takes advantage of the process of expelling and destroying the Ming army to attack other places without authorization to protect the Daimyo."
"Then after the Ming army is expelled and destroyed, the Northern Dynasty will definitely expel and destroy them as well!"
"have you understood?!!"
All the generals also bowed ninety degrees and nodded, and responded loudly:
"Hi, got it!!!"
After determining the response plan, all the retainers and generals of the Muromachi Shogunate immediately took action.
The envoys representing the Muromachi shogunate rushed towards the direction of the Ming army where King Yan Zhu Di was, preparing to contact them.
Dozens of other envoys also represented the Muromachi shogunate, and they were also rushing towards the Southern Dynasty and other places to protect the daimyo, preparing to convey the purpose of the Muromachi shogunate in the Northern Dynasty.
