Chapter 808 Missions, Preparations, Mines
Ashikaga Yoshichi has not been in a good mood recently, so the important ministers around him are cautious, not daring to offend this general who is deeply in the whirlpool.
The current political situation in Wa country is very chaotic, local governments are in their own ways, and the emperor is purely for decoration.
And what Ashikaga Yoshichi, who has the name of Daiyi, wants most is to cut down the feudal clan, that is, to clean up those guardian daimyos.
But after several operations, Ashikaga Yoshimura found sadly that all these efforts were useless.
If there is a large-scale attack, those daimyos will form a group and fight against the shogunate. The outcome is really unpredictable, but Ashikaga Yoshichi is not sure of victory.
"My lord, Shiba Yoshizumi asks to see you."
Ashikaga Yoshichi put down his teacup and said in a very cold and emotionless voice, "Let him in."
Shiba Yichun saluted, but Liu Ming beside him just bowed his hands.
"Who are you?"
Someone shouted and asked, and at the same time glanced away, the guards beside him all held the handle of the knife.
Shiba Yichun groaned in his heart, and quickly introduced: "My lord, this person is the envoy of Ming Dynasty."
"My next brother, Liu Ming, came here on the orders of Daming Xinghe Bo."
Ashikaga Yoshichi waved his hand, and the atmosphere relaxed.
"Why did Xing Hebo send you here?"
Liu Ming went in, stood still, and said: "Xing and Bo have something to say, the North Korean fleet has already set off, and if Wa is not prepared, it will capsize in a blink of an eye."
"nonsense!"
After hearing the translator's words, an important official said angrily: "How dare North Korea attack the Japanese country? Are you here to bring trouble to our country? Then Daming can profit from it!"
"Li Fangyuan is not enough to protect himself, does he dare to covet the Wa Kingdom?"
A senior official said disdainfully: "North Korea suffered heavy losses in the last battle of Tsushima Island. If it weren't for the lack of ships in our country, North Korea would no longer exist at this moment!"
"Including people with evil intentions! Be punished!"
"Put to death!"
Immediately, the sound of drawing a knife was endless,
The light of the knife was cold and reflected in the room, and the chilling air made the sunlight outside become eclipsed.
Ashikaga Yoshichi looked at Liu Ming indifferently, his Confucian shirt showed that he was a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and he was famous.
Are you a scholar of Ming Dynasty?
Ashikaga Yoshichi thought of the Daming envoy who was slaughtered before, and couldn't help sneering.
"Master General."
Liu Ming was a little apprehensive in the face of the sword light, but remembering Fang Xing's explanation before leaving, he closed his eyes and said loudly: "Da Ming's fleet can cover the entire sea, and Da Ming's army formation can destroy mountains! I don't regret my personal death , just wait for the Koreans to land, please remember, general, that Xinghebo will not forgive any forces that harm the Ming people, and all of you here will wait for the whole family to die!"
"kill him!"
After hearing the interpreter's words, a general couldn't help being furious, drew his knife and rushed over.
Yoshinori Shiba cried out inwardly, thinking, are you stupid? How dare you speak nonsense in front of Ashikaga Yoshichi!
"My lord..."
The knife light was already close to him, Liu Ming wanted to hide, but the guards around him slowly surrounded him, and the result of hiding would be to dismember the body with the knife!
Don't hide!
Liu Ming stood with his head held high, his legs under the Confucian shirt were trembling, but he fixed his eyes on Ashikaga Yoshichi.
You are dead!
Liu Ming also got a feel for Fang Xing's character. If he died here, none of the people present today would survive when Daming marched into the Wa kingdom.
"stop!"
Ashikaga Yoshichi said softly, but the general acted as if he had heard Hong Zhong Dalu, and after glaring at Liu Ming, he withdrew his sword and returned to his position.
Liu Ming inhaled slowly, feeling his heart beating like thunder, but his appearance was very calm.
good!
Ashikaga Yoshichi secretly praised, and then asked: "Is there any evidence?"
Liu Ming cleared his throat and said, "North Korea's warships have already been built. What are they doing building them? General, please think about it carefully."
"What?"
Even Ashikaga Yoshichi was stunned.
After closing the country, the shogunate didn't know much about things outside the Wa country, let alone such secrets.
Liu Ming said proudly: "Is there any benefit to Daming by being on guard in advance? Or how much has Japan lost?"
"North Korea is disrespectful to Daming, otherwise do you think I will come today? It's better to just watch!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Shiba Yichun also chimed in: "My lord, North Korea is indeed a wolf's ambition!"
Ashikaga Yoshichi's complexion immediately returned to indifference, and he waved: "Just wait and go."
Liu Ming cupped his hands and said: "Master General, Xinghe Bo still has to explain that the Wa country must donate a thousand girls every year, otherwise don't blame Daming for helping North Korea!"
"Bold!"
Several generals scolded, but the counselors looked relaxed.
Ashikaga Yoshichi didn't answer, and waved: "Go!"
After the two left, Ashikaga pressed his hand to suppress the restlessness of his subordinates, and then he looked outside blankly: "Since the Battle of Tsushima Island, Japan and North Korea can only solve their problems through war. One step, not only the North Koreans will gain an inch, but the rebels in the country will also take the opportunity to climb up and shout, and the situation will inevitably deteriorate, you have to wait."
Seeing that his subordinates bowed their heads and ears, Ashikaga Yoshichi snorted coldly in his heart, knowing that this was just an appearance.
"It doesn't hurt to be prepared. Go ahead, gather people, send ships, and find the North Koreans!"
In the blink of an eye, only the guards were left in the room.
"A bunch of idiots who are blind to money!"
Ashikaga Yoshihiro drew his sword and slashed down vigorously.
After turning around and swinging the knife continuously, Ashikaga Yoshichi bowed his head in thought.
Why did Xing Hebo notify me?
Isn't it good for the Wa country to be weakened?
strangeness……
...
"Uncle, they are back!"
Fang Xing's days are quite carefree, sleeping in the cabin every day until he wakes up naturally, then fishing, touching seafood, and making delicious food when he comes back, the tempted guys salivate.
Fang Xing was eating oysters with Huang Jinlu, but this time Fang Xing came prepared and brought garlic.
Garlic oysters are delicious when baked!
Feeling the smoothness of the oysters, the lookout whistle shouted.
Fang Xing didn't move, Huang Jinlu stood up and looked through the binoculars for a while, then said happily, "Uncle, Master Fang and the others are back."
Fang Xing picked up an oyster from the charcoal stove, and said casually: "Don't worry, Shi Jianguo didn't pay attention to it, Fang Wu and the others are safe."
After Fang Xing ate three grilled oysters, Fang Wu's boat approached.
"Master, I found it!"
Fang Wu jumped over with a smile on his face. This guy has adapted to life on the water, and he has mastered the skills of jumping well.
Fang Xing nodded when he saw someone carrying a few boxes: "Thanks for your hard work, how many boxes are there?"
"A lot, a lot!"
Fang Wu recalled the mine that was opened and said: "Master, that is simply a mountain of silver!"
Fang Xing pointed to the charcoal stove, and Fang Wu was not polite, with one oyster in each hand, he ate it in two mouthfuls without fear of being hot.
"tasty!"
Fang Xing called someone to roast the oysters, then got up, looked at the open box, narrowed his eyes and said: "Put it away, there are still, is the mine closed?"
Fang Wu was hiccupping, and hurriedly responded when he heard the question: "Old...uh, er...it's closed!"
Fang Xing nodded, turned around and saw Fang Wu and the others grabbing the roasted oysters, and couldn't help cursing, "Goofy! Eat, eat, there's a lot on the bottom of the boat, pick it yourself!"
Huang Jinlu came over and asked, "Uncle, should it start soon?"
Fang Xing stretched his neck, and said calmly, "When Liu Ming comes back, we'll set off to watch the battle!"
