My Daming New Empire

The two dared not sit down, and sat sideways and half facing Zhu Zhanji. Tao Zheng, who was a little older, began to describe the beheading operation jointly carried out by Habayashi Guard and the young army.

Chen Li was originally the commander of Habayashi Guard, but because of his meritorious service in forming the young army, after being transferred back to Habayashi Guard, he took up the position of Chief Qian.

Zhu Zhanji wanted to send the most powerful Habayashi guard and the scouts of the young army who were most familiar with the terrain of Japan to execute the beheading operation against Emperor Kameyama, and he became the leader of this team.

A formation of [-] Yulin Guards and [-] young troops set off from Waka Valley and went straight to the Yoshino Palace [-] kilometers away.

They marched quickly all the way, and arrived at the Yoshino Palace in the southeast of Nara in one day.

Today's Yoshino Palace has no samurai guards from the Shogun's Mansion because of the conflict with Ashikaga Yoshimochi. Today's defense mainly relies on the former Southern Dynasty samurai who followed Emperor Kameyama, and the number is less than 400.

The battle proceeded quickly, and even though the warriors were very skilled, they had nothing to do with the muskets.

In less than an hour of fighting, the action team occupied the Yoshino Palace and captured Emperor Kameyama and more than 60 members of his royal family alive.

However, because it was such a sensitive battle to capture the former emperor alive, even though Chen Li and the others captured Emperor Kameyama's family and wanted to evacuate, they were faced with the spontaneous siege of many warriors.

The action team with Emperor Kameyama's family was not so fast when they returned, and they are still in the process of retreating and fighting.

However, Tao Zheng and the others had already reported the information to the [-] Shenji Battalion stationed in Wakayama on the way of sending the letter in advance, and they had already sent most of the soldiers to meet Habayashi Guard.

After learning the detailed information, Zhu Zhanji was not worried about the safety of Habayashi Wei and the others.In today's Osaka area, most of the daimyos have surrendered, and even if there are some stubborn resistance elements, it is not a big deal.

There are 2000 of them alone, plus the 2000 of Shenji Camp, no force can compete with them.

In the end, he just asked casually: "Then what happened to Princess Yang Jijian Yinhuazi?"

Tao Zheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Tan Yuan and said, "This is a matter of the noble camp, Wen Shan has experienced it himself, it is better for Tan Yuan to report it for him."

Tao Zheng is a soldier of Jiazi Company, which is the oldest battalion of orphans.The qualifications of the honorable battalion are much shallower, and they have only been trained for a little over a year now.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Tan Yuan and said: "I remember you, you are the commander of the capital, the eldest son of Tan Yuan, Marquis of Chong'an, your father died early, and you were brought up by your widowed mother. You have won the top three in the young army competition many times."

Tan Yuan knelt down on one knee and said, "It's a great honor for Your Highness to remember the villain."

"Get up and speak, and report what Yang Ji has done."

What Yang Ji did was not complicated. After occupying the Yoshino Palace, one of the main tasks of the young army was to clean up the wealth and antiques in the Yoshino Palace, and then pack them one by one.

Yang Ji was in charge of guarding the female relatives, but was fascinated by Princess Hanako, the youngest daughter of Emperor Kameyama, and dragged her into Jianyin's room regardless of her mission.

If it was a soldier from the Orphan Battalion, Chen Li would definitely kill them directly to make an example.

But now that he has returned to the Habayashi Guard, he has no direct leadership over the young army, and the commander of the young army, Wu Laosi, is a commoner with a low official position. How can he directly deal with Yang Ji, whose father is a Hanlin scholar.

So this matter was reported to Zhu Zhanji, waiting for Zhu Zhanji to deal with it.

Although Tan Yuan came from an extraordinary family background, his father died when he was in command of the Tong Zhi during the Jingnan Battle.At that time, Tan Yuan was just born, and he didn't enjoy the glory of his father at all.

Although his father was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Chong'an, and he was awarded the honor of a lieutenant of the town, but in a family without a male master, his life was very ordinary since he was a child.

His mother had high expectations for him and taught him strictly. When Zhu Zhanji formed the Xungui Camp of the Young Army, he was a top group of people as soon as he entered the Xungui Camp.

Of course, people like him look down on Yang Ji, a playboy, but he can also explain the whole process fairly and justly, without any personal prejudice.

This also made Zhu Zhanji a little interested in him. Because of the confrontation between the noble camp and the orphan camp, the position in the young army is actually quite serious.

It is very rare for Tan Yuan to be able to narrate the whole incident without any personal color and prejudice.

After listening to the whole report, Zhu Zhanji sent them down and turned his attention to Zheng He. "How does the director think this matter should be dealt with?"

Of course, this is not about what to do with Yang Ji, but whether to send troops to welcome Chen Li and the others back.

When they went, they went lightly, and when they came back, there were not only a lot of plundered supplies, but also dozens of captives, which would affect their mobility.

Zheng He thought for a while and said: "Now the guards in Wakayama are going to meet the Habayashi guards. They have 4000 people, which is enough to deal with any situation. Therefore, there is no need to send reinforcements for the time being. However, Wakayama's location is important, and guarding the gate of Osaka Bay, there must be no mistakes. , so two warships should be stationed to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Then you can arrange it, pass on the order of the grandson, and directly behead Yang Ji to show the public, as an example to others."

At this time, Zhu Zhanji didn't bother to take Yang Shiqi's face into consideration. If he was a black sheep and refused to change after repeated admonitions, he would be a model to warn the world.

Of course, such a rough attitude would definitely hurt Yang Shiqi's heart.However, he still has a son, Yang Dao, who is said to be of good character. After returning, he will call Yang Dao into the young army.

Whether he is dissatisfied or grateful, Zhu Zhanji is willing to take the initiative in his own hands.

No matter how high San Yang is praised in history, it is insignificant, because Zhu Zhanji will never govern the country according to their methods.

Calling Yang Dao into the young army can prevent Yang Shiqi from playing tricks behind his back, even if he is the prince's man now.

The sun is shining brightly in Osaka Bay, and the sea transportation that has been interrupted for half a year can now go to the designated port for trade after receiving the customs clearance documents from Daming, making Osaka Bay more lively than ever.

But on Zuodu Island thousands of miles away, it was raining heavily today.

Since a Daming Fleet that "escorted supplies" to Nuergandusi was stranded on Sado Island because of "ship damage", the life of the General's Mansion on the island was not easy for Oe Ichiro.

Zuo Du Island was originally a small island where the Japanese exiled prisoners. Since gold was discovered on the island, the General's Mansion appointed Ruo Nianjiao to lead [-] warriors and [-] civilians to dig for gold on the island.

The detention of the Ming Fleet did not worry them at first, because the gold on the island has not been found in large quantities, and this amount of gold production is not enough to make the people of Ming Dynasty tempted.

But since the arrival of the Ming people, there have been no more ships to exile prisoners and supply ships, and the food on the island has become less and less.

This is an isolated island, and all supplies are brought from the mainland, and there are no large prey on the island. The food eaten by these 3000 people every day is not a small amount.

There are no supply boats, and there are only a few fishing boats on the island, so they dare not go too far out to sea.

When the ships docked, Oe Ichiro knew that all the ships were full of food.When the food on the island ran out, Oe Ichiro had no choice but to buy food from the Ming people.

The people of Daming were very quick and agreed to sell grain to them, but the price was much higher in Japan.

Oe Ichiro knew very well that because of the many mountains and little land in Dongying, the price of grain has always been high, but Daming is rich in products, and a stone of grain is less than three renminbi.

But at this time, they couldn't help bargaining, so they could only buy a batch of grain at a high price of about one tael of silver and one stone.

There are more than 3000 people, and two catties of grain per person per day is six thousand catties, fifty shi. In the past five months, Oe Ichiro has bought nearly ten thousand shi of grain from the guard of Daming, and the gold and silver dug up are at least Half of it flowed into the pockets of Daming people.

In fact, since March, there were still no domestic ships arriving, and the people of Daming still didn't leave, so they already felt that something was wrong.Because the general's mansion will never ignore them for so long, let alone forget that there is gold on the island.

However, they only thought that the people of Daming did not allow ships to come to Zuodu Island, and they never thought that Daming would start a war against Japan.

But since the people of Daming didn't say anything and behaved very kindly, they didn't dare to turn their backs.

Although Daming is only a fleet for transporting grain, there are about 300 people on the four ships, all of whom are regular soldiers.

In addition to 200 civilian husbands and nearly [-] prisoners, they only had more than [-] warriors.

So they didn't dare to fight, so they could only accept the blackmail trade from the Daming people.

But at the end of April, the people of Daming began to refuse to sell grain. Even if Oe Ichiro doubled the price, the other party refused to sell them any more grain.
