Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 526 Japanese people, Grandpa Lanyu is here
Heian Kyo, Ashikaga Shogunate.

With a livid face, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu asked his subordinates to pass on the latest news to the senior ministers below.

"The Fujiwara family launched a coup in the Southern Dynasty. Emperor Chokei and Prince Huairo died, and the Fujiwara family took real power."

"Let's talk about what we should do next."

The atmosphere in the shogunate suddenly became agitated. All the old ministers stood up and rushed to see this battle report from the front line. From time to time, there were low discussions and scoldings.

"Sir Shogun, this is all the fault of that monk named Dogen!" Tokishi Yamana, the daimyo of the Yamana family, suddenly stood up and complained to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

"We have spent several generations trying to win over Prince Huai Liang. But Dao Yan suggested that the General give the order for Huai Liang to launch a coup."

"As a result of the death of Prince Huai Liang, our shogunate fell short of the plan for the Southern Dynasty. Please, General, order Dao Yan to commit seppuku and apologize!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face turned darker when he heard this, but he said nothing.Monk Huiru was also listening in the next room. Hearing the words, he refuted: "What Mr. Yamana said makes no sense!"

"Although it was suggested by my master, this resolution was approved by the General!"

"By saying this, Lord Yamana, does he mean that Lord General made a mistake in his decision?"

Yamana Toki's face froze, and he quickly knelt down to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu: "Shogun, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

"That's enough, stand down!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu glanced at Yamana Toki with disgust.Yamana Toki opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but was speechless for a moment and had to retreat slowly.Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked around and saw that no one had any intention to speak, so he looked at Yao Guangxiao again.

"Master Daoyan, what do you say?"

"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao's face remained calm. "Master Yamana feels that all this happened because of the poor monk, so then it just happened because of the poor monk."

"It's just that the poor monk doesn't understand that this matter is clearly the defeat of the Southern Dynasty and the victory of the shogunate. Why do all the princes look so solemn and not happy at all?"

"Oh?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu turned slightly to the side. "How can it be better?"

"The coup of the Southern Dynasty, many famous people abandoned the emperor of the Southern Dynasty and took refuge in our shogunate, which caused the Southern Dynasty to become even weaker, and we are stronger. This is one of the reasons." Yao Guangxiao talked eloquently.

"Secondly, haven't you discovered that...the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty has already lost the title of Emperor and instead accepted the title of 'King of the Wonu Kingdom' conferred by the Ming Dynasty?"

"What... does this mean?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was still confused.

Yao Guangxiao was secretly scornful in his heart, but his face was still incomprehensible, and he smiled and said: "This means that there is only one emperor left in our country of Yamato, and that is the 'Emperor Gokomatsu' of our Northern Dynasty."

"Now the situation of two dynasties standing side by side no longer exists. The long-cherished wish of the three generations of the Ashikaga Shogunate has been achieved!"

"The Southern Dynasties are just weak and disabled, but they are just rebels who established a new country... They have lost their righteousness, and there will no longer be any daimyo willing to join them, and they will only become weaker and weaker."

"The general's unification of Yamato is just around the corner!"

As soon as he said this, all the Japanese in the shogunate looked surprised.Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyes widened: "...Is that so?"

"Of course that's the case." Monk Daoyan looked determined and saluted Ashikaga Yoshimitsu: "Congratulations to the general, poor monk, congratulations to the general."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu tried hard to turn his head, thinking according to the ideas Yao Guangtaka said. The more he thought, the more he felt that what he said made sense: Originally, the emperor of the Southern Dynasties was defeated by the first general Ashikaga Takauji and fled to Yoshino in the south in embarrassment. , there are no soldiers, no generals, nothing in hand.

Relying on the emperor's name, he managed to win over some daimyo and managed to survive the struggle against the shogunate for so long.It can be said that the emperor's title is the greatest reliance of the Southern Dynasties.

But now that the emperor of the Southern Dynasties has removed his title, it is equivalent to destroying the Great Wall. He will no longer be the opponent of the Northern Dynasty shogunate.Such a result is even more beneficial than Huai Liang taking control of the Southern Dynasties?After all, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could not guarantee whether Huairang would still be loyal to their shogunate after he established a firm foothold in the Southern Dynasties.

"Okay, okay!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face turned from anger to joy, and he even stood up from his seat.

"Sure enough, this is a great event! This is all due to Master Daoyan's plan! There will be a reward, and I will give you a lot of rewards, general!"

"Thank you, General. However, there is no need for a reward. A poor monk is an outsider and does not need such extraneous things. It is a great honor for the poor monk to be reused by the General."

Seeing the master's majestic appearance, monk Huiru quickly lowered his eyelids, but he was muttering in his heart: Master will leave here in a while, why do you need so many gold, silver and jewelry?When the Ming Dynasty soldiers arrive here, won’t all the treasures of the Ashikaga family belong to me, the Ming Dynasty?

However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu felt more and more that Dao Yan was really noble, and he was even more overjoyed. He clapped his hands and called the servants: "Let's have a banquet, have a banquet!"

"I, the general, want to celebrate! Not only do I celebrate the defeat of the Southern Dynasty, but I also celebrate that I, the general, have such a powerful helper as Master Daoyan!"

"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao still looked indifferent, showing the demeanor of a master.

Naturally, the Southern Dynasty no longer needs to rely on those famous names... because the Southern Dynasty now has a stronger support.

It is only necessary to retain the minimum righteousness, so as not to arouse the common hatred of all Japanese.The rest, such as the shogun Ashikaga family, are die-hards who are unlikely to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they can be eliminated with thunderous means...

"My lord! My lord!"

The Ashikaga Shogunate was setting up a banquet to celebrate the victory, and because of the general's joy, the atmosphere in the palace was also filled with joy.At this time of joy and congratulations, a man with a small flag of the Ashikaga family crest on his back rushed in with a look of fear and knelt in front of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was thinking about having a good discussion with Yao Guangxiao and his ministers during the banquet, and speeding up the matter of going south to destroy the remaining forces of the "Go Kameyama Japanese King".As long as this force is eliminated, he will be a legitimate "man of the world" in Yamato.The pinnacle of power was already at his fingertips, and this feeling made him fascinated.

But Yaxing was disturbed by Xiaoqi, who was running and sweating profusely, and the expression on his face suddenly became unhappy.

"There are no rules! Don't you know that the general is hosting a banquet in honor of all the family bosses? Tell me quickly! If it's not a big deal, I won't let you go!"

The little flag was not timid because of this, and did not even notice that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was extremely dissatisfied at this time.His whole body and mind were trembling with fear because of the news he heard.

"Sir General, the guardian of the Tango area has come to report."

"The Ming army has landed in Tango and is attacking Heian-kyo!"

"what!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stood up in a hurry and knocked over the desk in front of him.

The fine wine soaked the tatami like blood.

……

Japanese country, Dango.

"Hey, it's finally time for us to take the field." Lan Yu, surrounded by tens of thousands of Ming troops, stepped off the Ming Dynasty's warship.

"Japanese people, your grandfather is here!"
