Chapter 842: Zhu Biao: Use Daming As A Knife? By Coincidence, Daming Also Wanted To Be A Swordsman!
After the Japanese envoy was escorted away, Liang Guogong Lan Yu, who was originally sitting in the first place, and Song Sheng and other generals beside him, immediately knelt down and asked for orders:
"Your Highness, please calm down. I will go and wipe out the Japanese country right away!!!"
Looking at the group of noble generals in front of him who asked to fight, Prince Zhu Biao shook his head and said:
"Get up, it was just intentional."
Although just now he was counting the crimes committed by the Japanese pirates in Ming Dynasty, Prince Zhu Biao did feel a surge of anger in his heart.
But at most, only three-thirds of this anger is real, and the other seven-tenths are all deliberately feigned.
Because from the short exchange he had just had with the Japanese envoys, he found that these Japanese envoys seemed to really not know that the Japanese pirates had invaded the Ming Dynasty before, and that Prince Huailiang on Kyushu Island had detained the Ming envoys and killed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. matter.
Combined with the intelligence they had gathered before, it showed that the Japanese country was now splitting into two countries, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as the words of the envoys who just said that they were representatives of the Northern Dynasties.
Prince Zhu Biao speculated that Prince Huai Liang, who previously detained the Ming envoys and beheaded their followers, should be Japanese from the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese state.
Therefore, in a sense, the detention of Ming envoys and the execution of their followers may have nothing to do with the Japanese in the Northern Dynasty of Japan.
However, regardless of whether the detention of the Ming envoys and the execution of their followers had anything to do with the Japanese in the Northern Dynasties of Japan, now he will also pin the matter on the Japanese in the Northern Dynasties of Japan, and then use the topic to play on it.
First, on the grounds that the Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty had offended him by "knowingly asking questions", he took the envoys from the Northern Dynasty of Japan and took them down, and gave them a good show of humiliation.
In this way, when the Japanese envoys talk to them later, their attitude will naturally be lowered, and they will know what the heavenly soldiers of the upper country are and what the envoys of the lower country are.
Secondly, this was used to cover up the real reason why the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack the Izumo Kingdom, so that the envoys of the Northern Dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom mistakenly believed that the reason why the Izumo Kingdom would be destroyed was because their envoys "knowingly asked questions" and offended the Ming Dynasty.
That's why the Ming Dynasty wanted to destroy the Izumo Kingdom to give them a stern warning and lesson.
In this way, "things happen for a reason", and the envoys of the Japanese and Northern Dynasties would only think that they were too overbearing in the Ming Dynasty.
It will not be said that Lian 17 thought that the reason why the Ming Dynasty wanted to destroy the Izumo Kingdom was actually to make it easier to gradually encroach on the Japanese Honshu Island.
In this way, the Japanese country will not be too resistant to the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, nor will they all unite to resist them.
Instead, they will continue to try to spend more time communicating and negotiating with them, hoping to exchange for them to withdraw from the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, their Ming Dynasty can have more time to build a higher, larger, and stronger military base city on Honshu Island, and gain more development time, so that they can better encroach on Honshu Island in the future.
As for these thoughts, Prince Zhu Biao did not give detailed explanations to Liang Guogong Lan Yu, Song Sheng and other generals. If they could guess it, then it would naturally be their ability.
If they can't guess it, it doesn't matter.
As generals, as long as they know how to fight, can fight, and win, that is enough.
As for these twists and turns, it doesn’t matter whether you understand them or not.
So Prince Zhu Biao's eyes fell on Liang Guogong Lan Yu, Song Sheng and other generals, and he said calmly:
"Go ahead and defeat Izumo Kingdom alone."
Liang Guogong Lan Yu, Song Sheng and other generals all raised their hands and responded:
"Yes, Your Highness!!!"
Immediately, Liang Guogong Lan Yu, Song Sheng and other generals turned around and went out to prepare for the attack on Deyun State.
Time passed by in the blink of an eye.
And within these ten days, Liang Guogong Lan Yu also kept his word. He said that Izumo Kingdom would be conquered within seven days, so it would never take more than seven days.
Even two days ahead of schedule, Izumo Country was defeated on the fifth day.
They also captured all 300,000 Japanese people in the Izumo Kingdom as slaves, and then built the Daming Ginzan military base city on the spot near the mountains near Iwami Ginzan.
After the Izumo Kingdom was captured, Prince Zhu Biao once again ordered people to bring the Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasties.
As before ten days ago, Liang Guogong Lan Yu sat in the main seat, while Prince Zhu Biao continued to play the role of military counselor and sat in the second place.
It's just that compared to ten days ago, the envoys of the Japanese and Northern Dynasties after ten days obviously looked a lot more haggard.
But this is normal. In the past ten days, a group of Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasties have been under house arrest in a small courtyard. No one can leave the courtyard. Three meals a day and other matters are also settled in the small courtyard.
Once they try to force their way out of the small courtyard, the guarding Ming soldiers will chop them down without hesitation, regardless of their life or death.
In addition, Zhu Biao had previously said that he wanted to conquer the Izumo Kingdom, which made them even more uneasy.
It would be strange if they were still in good spirits despite worrying day and night and being restricted in their movements.
Zhu Biao, who was sitting in the second seat, glanced at Song Sheng who was standing aside. Song Sheng understood immediately, and then threw a bundle wrapped in something at the feet of the Japanese envoy from the Northern Dynasty.
Then, Zhu Biao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said nonchalantly:
"Envoys, you might as well open it and take a look."
The envoys of the Northern Dynasty of Japan looked at each other, with some bad premonition in their hearts, and then slowly opened the bundle. They were shocked when they saw the head with eyes open and a face full of fear and unwillingness inside the bundle.
"Envoys, do you know whose head this is?!!"
Zhu Biao put down the teacup and said with a gentle expression.
"Know, know, know...it's the head of the guardian daimyo of Izumo Kingdom!!!"
A group of Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty replied tremblingly.
They knew this head very well, but they didn't expect Daming to be so cruel!
If you say that Izumo Kingdom will be captured within ten days, then Izumo Kingdom will be captured within ten days.
Even the head of the guardian daimyo of Izumo Kingdom was chopped off and thrown in front of them.
For a time, a group of Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty's evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty Army rose a lot again.
At least, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there is really no local guardian daimyo that can compete with the Great Tomorrow Army alone.
At least other Japanese local guardian daimyo could not attack the huge Izumo Kingdom within ten days.
"So now, do you know where our Ming Dynasty will reach in the future?!!"
Zhu Biao's gentle expression also softened, and his eyes became sharper. He looked at the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty and said coldly.
The envoys of the Japanese Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty were even more frightened when they heard this. They once again fell to the ground and bowed:
"I know!"
Seeing the humble appearance of the Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty, Zhu Biao returned to his nonchalant look and said:
"In this case, what explanation do you have, Daming?!"
The leader of the Japanese envoy from the Northern Dynasty knocked his forehead heavily on the ground and said with great sincerity:
"I beg your Majesty, please forgive me. This matter really has nothing to do with our Northern Dynasty..."
Immediately, the envoys from the Northern Dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom told the story of the split of the Japanese Kingdom into the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as well as the fact that Ashikaga General of the Muromachi Shogunate controlled the military and political power of the Northern Dynasties.
After listening to the story of the Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty, Prince Zhu Biao looked at the envoys from the Japanese Northern Dynasty with a strange expression and said:
"Are you saying that the previous incidents of detaining the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, beheading the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and the invasion of the Ming Dynasty by Japanese pirates were all done by your Japanese people from the Southern Dynasty?!!
"And you, the Emperor of the Northern Dynasties, admire the Ming Dynasty very much in your heart, and are very willing to submit your vassal status to the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty."
"It's just that the Japanese country is now divided into the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the military and political power of your Northern Dynasty is still controlled by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Muromachi Shogunate.
"So you, the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty, are temporarily unable to control the Japanese Japanese in the Southern Dynasty, and that's why you caused the Japanese Japanese in the Southern Dynasty to cause rebellion and do something extremely disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty?!!"
"At the same time, it was also because of the obstruction of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Muromachi Shogunate that your Northern Emperor was unable to declare his vassal status to the Ming Dynasty immediately and become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?!"
"Now you hope that Ming Dynasty can canonize your Northern Dynasty Emperor as the only orthodox emperor [and that your Northern Dynasty Emperor is also willing to cooperate with Mu Ming to go out to crusade against the Southern Dynasty, as well as the Muromachi Shogunate and other rebellious officials and traitors."
"Would you like to use the lives of those rebellious officials and traitors in the Southern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate as an explanation to my Ming Dynasty?!!
The envoy from the Northern Dynasty of Japan raised his head and replied firmly:
"Your Majesty Mingjian, that's exactly what it is!"
To be honest, in fact, the Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty did not know whether the Japanese pirates who invaded the Ming Dynasty, detained the Ming envoys, and beheaded the followers of the Ming envoys were really all done by people from the Southern Dynasty.
Maybe some people from the Northern Dynasty secretly did something so disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty. It is also possible.
But now, no matter whether it was done by people from the Southern Dynasty or not, it must be done by the people from the Southern Dynasty!
At least the people in the Southern Dynasty were attacked by the Ming Dynasty, which was better than the people in the Northern Dynasty who were attacked by the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, by throwing the blame on the Southern Dynasty, the Ming army could also be tempted to attack the Southern Dynasty.
By the way, while killing the Southern Dynasty, we can also kill Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Muromachi Shogunate who controlled the military and political power of the Northern Dynasty.
Finally, the emperor of the Northern Dynasties unified the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan and regained power in Japan.
As for how many Japanese people died under the Tomorrow Army during this process, this was not within their scope of consideration.
Or in other words, as long as the emperor of the Northern Dynasty can achieve the goal of unifying the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan and regaining power in Japan.
So no matter how many Japanese died, the Northern Emperor and his retainers and generals who supported the Northern Emperor would not take it to heart.
Anyway, they were not the ones who died. They would only regard the deaths of these Japanese people as necessary sacrifices for the Northern Emperor to unify the Northern and Southern Japanese Dynasties and regain the power of the Japanese Empire.
And even if more Japanese people die, as long as the Japanese people are not completely exterminated, the remaining Japanese people will grow back like a batch of leeks that have been cut.
By then, in twenty or thirty years, the Japanese will be as prosperous as before.
After hearing this, Prince Zhu Biao finally understood the meaning of the words of these Japanese envoys.
On the surface, the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty was willing to send troops with the Ming Dynasty to attack the Southern Dynasty, the Muromachi Shogunate and other rebellious officials and traitors, and was willing to sacrifice the lives of these rebellious officials and traitors to make amends to the Ming Dynasty.
But, in fact, this is trying to use Daming as a knife!
It is said that he is willing to send troops with the Ming Dynasty to attack the Southern Dynasty, as well as the Muromachi Shogunate and other rebellious officials. However, how much troops can a Northern Emperor, whose military and political power is controlled by the Muromachi Shogunate, have in his hands to send troops with the Ming Dynasty to attack those rebellious officials? Thief?!!
In the end, the one who was mainly responsible for the crusade against the Southern Dynasties and the rebellious officials and traitors of the Muromachi Shogunate was still the Ming Dynasty!
As for saying that he is willing to use the lives of these rebellious officials and traitors to make amends to the Ming Dynasty
That would be even more of a joke.
If the lives of these rebellious ministers and traitors are now in the hands of the Northern Emperor, then in order to appease the anger of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Emperor took the initiative to hand over these rebellious ministers and traitors and let the Ming Dynasty deal with them.
Then this can still be regarded as the sincerity of the Northern Emperor.
But now the lives of the rebellious officials and traitors of the Southern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate are not in the hands of the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty.
If he wanted to take away the lives of the rebellious officials and traitors of the Southern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate, then Ming Dynasty would have to personally send troops to capture them.
So here comes the question, if the Ming Dynasty personally sent troops to take down the rebellious ministers and traitors of the Southern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate [then the lives of those rebellious ministers and traitors are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty?!!
Or is it in the hands of the Northern Emperor?!!
It is obviously in the hands of Ming Dynasty!
And with the things in the hands of Ming Dynasty, what qualifications did the envoys of the Northern Dynasty of Japan have to make decisions on behalf of Ming Dynasty, and to say that they are willing to take things that belong to Ming Dynasty and give them to Ming Dynasty to make amends with such shameless words?!!
To put it bluntly, the envoys of the Northern Dynasty of Japan said that they were willing to take the lives of the rebellious officials and traitors of the Southern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate to make amends to the Ming Dynasty. From the beginning to the end, it was just an empty promise and the generosity of the Southern Dynasty, the Muromachi Shogunate, and the Ming Dynasty.
Just hearing these words from the Japanese envoys to the Northern Dynasties 783, Prince Zhu Biao's eyes turned slightly cold, feeling that these Japanese envoys to the Northern Dynasties were treating him as a fool.
But even so, Prince Zhu Biao did not have an attack on the spot.
Because the Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty wanted to use their Daming Dynasty as swords, and their Daming Dynasty happened to be willing to use them as swords now!
In any case, the Emperor of Japan's Northern Dynasties can be regarded as one of the two orthodox figures of Japan today.
If the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom chose to join the Ming Dynasty, then their attack on the Japanese Kingdom by the Ming Dynasty would not be regarded as an external invasion, but would instead be helping the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty suppress the rebellious ministers and traitors.
In this way, their attack on the Japanese forces of the Southern Dynasties and the forces of the Muromachi shogunate can be regarded as "famous" and will not cause joint resistance from all the Japanese people in Yi.
At that time, the Japanese people in the Japanese country will be divided into two or three parts. One part will stand on the side of the Japanese Northern Dynasty and follow them in the Ming Dynasty to attack the Japanese Southern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate.
Some of them stood on the side of the Japanese and Southern Dynasties and resisted the forces of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese and Northern Dynasties emperors.
Some stood like the Muromachi Shogunate of Japan, and also resisted the forces of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty Emperor of Japan.
Regardless of how many parts the Japanese were eventually divided into, for the Ming Dynasty, it was a way to reduce the difficulty of attacking Honshu Island.
Therefore, in order to reduce the difficulty of attacking Honshu Island, Zhu Biao is still willing to be the sword of the Japanese Northern Dynasty for the time being.
However, since you dare to use the Ming Dynasty as a sword, it is normal for the Ming Dynasty to massacre the Southern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate, and then also massacre the Northern Dynasty of Japan.
Thinking about it, the Japanese and Northern Dynasties will also understand their Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Prince Zhu Biao once again had a fake smile on his face and said:
"I already know what you mean."
"However, this is a serious matter, and I have to send it back to inform His Majesty, who will make the decision!"
"Before that, you can leave half of the envoys to continue waiting here. The other half of the envoys may wish to go back and inform your Northern Emperor that you are safe."
"But I can tell you in advance that I still think your proposal is quite good."
It was sent back to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that this was naturally false. They had already obtained Zhu Yuanzhang's permission before setting off, and all matters regarding the Japanese country were decided through discussion among their brothers.
Now he just wants to spread the news to his other brothers and let them see if they want to cooperate.
The envoys from the Japanese Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty below heard Zhu Biao's words and immediately paid their respects:
"Thank you, sir, for your comfort!"
"Thank you, sir, for your comfort!"
"I will send someone back to tell the emperor the good news!"
After saying that, all the Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty banged their heads several times.
Seeing this, Prince Zhu Biao waved his hand and motioned for them to retreat.
