The Great Song Dynasty wanted to go to sea, and the Wa Kingdom was destined to be their goal.In this case, Matsusaka Akiyoshi's eyes naturally fell on Ryukyu.Once the Ryukyu Kingdom fell into the hands of the Song army, the Song army was able to use the Ryukyus as a base and continuously send a large army to the Wajima Island to completely destroy them.But if it is in his hands, it is to defend the Wa Kingdom, at least it is also an outpost for the defense of Kyushu, and the Song army is firmly resisted outside.Destroy Goryeo first, and then destroy Dayue, he doesn't think that the ambitious emperor of the Great Song Dynasty spent so much money to build a sailor, which is good-looking.After the Song army got Goryeo, they took Ryukyu again, and then the entire Wa Kingdom became meat on the chopping board of the Great Song Dynasty, and they could eat it as much as they wanted, and they could eat it whenever they wanted.Therefore, Matsusaka Akiyoshi launched this war against the Ryukyus, not to plunder and leave as before, but to really want to take down the Ryukyus.Let the Ryukyuan people become slaves of the Wa Kingdom, build weapons, build fronts, and protect the Wa Kingdom.In other words, what happened to Ryukyu today is essentially because of the Great Song Dynasty.Matsusaka Akiyoshi fought very well and wiped out the living force of the Ryukyus in one fell swoop, and just as he was about to completely annex the Ryukyus, he did not expect that a Great Song official appeared there.This made Matsusaka even more nervous.The Song army really had bad intentions towards the Wa Kingdom, otherwise why would their officials appear to be in Ryukyu?
Nine times out of ten, I came here to warn myself.Having said that, in the face of the Great Song Dynasty, which was countless times stronger than the Wa Kingdom, he did not dare to really tear his face with the Great Song Dynasty, let alone kill their envoys.Therefore, after Xue Huaili came, even though Matsusaka Akiyoshi was already resentful to the extreme, he still received him in person and allowed him to go back.It turned out that it was only a month before and after, and this guy came again.Not only did people come, but they also came with the huge warships and sergeants of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as muskets.This is clearly to come here to warn yourself, but nominally it is communication, so people can't find fault with it.Xue Huaili didn't go out today, he sat in the room, and in front of him was a blank piece of music.Beside him, sat a tall, rough-skinned man, whose gaze kept falling on the window, not knowing what to think."
Lord Zhu, our people are all in Matsusaka Zhangyi's eyelids The man next to Xue Huaili is none other than Zhu Qiming.Xue Huaili is a typical saint's child, his brain is wooden, and it is impossible to rely on him to do these things behind his back.Therefore, Zhu Qiming also followed.Not only him, but dozens of people in the entire mission, only four of them were officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the others were all secret agents, disguised as Xue Huaili's guards, who came to Wadao together.Not only that, but those gentlemen who carry out cultural exchanges are all secret agents, but Xue Huaili is not clear about these things.The Japanese people must be on guard, if they don't use their brains, they want to be in their eyelids but from another angle, the Japanese people know that the target of the Great Song Dynasty is them, if they come, they don't make any moves, but it will cause suspicion, and when the time comes, those gentlemen will leak out, and it will be troublesome.Therefore, at the beginning of the fight, this matter was to hide the whole process from Xue Huaili, and then let Xue Huaili stand in the open, and the talents behind his back were convenient to act.Xue Huaili didn't know Zhu Qiming's arrangement behind their backs, and he was at a loss when he thought of Tie Xi's entrustment.In the past few days since he came to Kyushu Island, his little actions have already leaked himself.Looking at Xue Huaili, who was full of pressure, Zhu Qiming sighed and persuaded: "Tomorrow, the emperor's envoy from the Wa Kingdom will come to Kyushu Island, and they disagree with the generals of Kyushu Island, maybe it will be an opportunity for us to attack." ”The Great Song Dynasty delegation came to Kyushu Island, and Matsusaka Akiyoshi didn't want to leak the news, but the mission was very high-profile, especially the gentlemen who were responsible for exchanging cultures, and they even held classes in person to teach children and people who were interested in the Great Song Dynasty culture, which was impossible to hide.When the emperor and the general got the news, they immediately sent an envoy to Kyushu to receive the envoys of the Great Song Kingdom.After Xue Huaili heard Zhu Qiming's words, the expression on his face softened a little.In a room in the Matsusaka Shoyoshi Mansion.At this moment, there were more than a dozen people kneeling, and these people were all powerful generals of Kyushu Island.Everyone was waiting for Matsusaka Akiyoshi's arrival.They didn't have to wait long, and Matsusaka Akiyoshi, accompanied by two maids, walked into the room.Everyone bowed their heads and saluted.Matsusaka Akiyoshi walked directly past the crowd and knelt on the throne.He looked around, and then said in a cold voice: "The Song people came here, the purpose is to investigate our reality, it can be imagined, their first target is our Kyushu, tomorrow the angels of Kyoto will also come here, you think, how should we deal with ......"
"The Great Song Dynasty and our Wa Kingdom are very far away, and it is destined that their army will not be able to cross the sea to come directly to our Wa Kingdom, but if they occupy the Ryukyus, the situation will be different, so no matter what, we must hold the Ryukyus in our hands, and this time the angels of Kyoto are here, We must conceal this, or with the greed of those people in Kyoto, they will definitely refuse to allow us to intervene in the Ryukyus, so that they can use the power of the Great Song Dynasty to destroy us. ”This sentence reached Matsusaka Akiyoshi's heart, and he looked at the speaker with satisfaction.Listening to the conversation between these two people, everyone else showed more or less panicked expressions, and everyone could see that these words must have been prepared in advance, so they were already planning to start a war with Da Song?
Can they beat the Great Song?
How can it be!
Goryeo and Da Yue, in terms of hard power, are stronger than the Wa Kingdom, and they have all been taken by the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention a mere Kyushu Island, even if the entire Wa Kingdom is added together, it is not the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty.Faced with which behemoth on the other side of the sea, they were all full of fear and did not dare to face it.A bloated general raised his head and looked at Matsusaka Akiyoshi: "General, is it possible for us......
What about taking refuge in the Great Song Dynasty?
”When the other people in the room heard this, they all looked at the man who spoke.Matsusaka Akiyoshi looked at Xiuhei Kazuo, and a fierceness flashed in his eyes.Xiuping Kazusheng is a smart person, he just said that sentence is to test it, and after seeing the fierce light in Matsuban's eyes, he immediately began to explain what he meant by that sentence just now.It is unwise to rush into war with the Great Song Dynasty, even if you really want to fight, you must first find out the situation of the Great Song sailors, how many ships they have, how many people, how to solve the logistics, etc......
Therefore, his sentence was to show goodwill with Da Song first, let Da Song relax his vigilance, and then make a decision after taking these things out of their mouths.Matsusaka Akiyoshi's expression relaxed a little, nodded, and agreed with Hidehei Kazuo's plan, in fact, Matsusaka Akiyoshi had no other choice at all.What's more, Matsusaka Akiyoshi doesn't look down on Xiuping Kazusheng at all, this is a very cowardly person, he definitely doesn't have the guts to collude with the Great Song Dynasty to betray the Japanese state, not to mention that his territory is adjacent to him, once he finds out that he has the slightest mistake, he also has an excuse to directly send troops to destroy Xiuping's family and turn everything about him into his own.That night, Xiuping and Sheng came to the residence of the Great Song Mission.Xiupei and Sheng, as they approached, organized their words in their heads.When he came to the front of several guards, Xiuping and Sheng said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the head of the Xiuping family, and I want to come to meet the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and I hope that you will help inform you." ”He spoke pure Song dialect, and although the accent was a little strange, it didn't prevent the guards from understanding what he meant."
Lord Xue has rested, you can come back tomorrow."
Hearing the guard say this, Xiuping and Sheng hesitated, but still nodded, not choosing to continue to bother.After Hidehei Kazuo left, he returned to his house, sat on a straw mat, and fell into deep thought.A maid came out from behind the screen and pressed his shoulder: "General, you shouldn't talk today......
Xiuping Hesheng shook his head and said: "I did it on purpose, otherwise how could I have come into contact with the angels of the Great Song Dynasty in a bright way." ”"General, there are some things that should not be rushed.The Xiuhei family is still fairly stable, and the other families have no reason to attack us, so why should we take risks. ”"Matsusaka Masakiyoshi didn't destroy us today, just because he didn't need it for the time being, and when the day came his army didn't have enough food to eat, and there were not enough soldiers, he couldn't let us go.What's more, even if he doesn't do anything to us, our Xiuping family's blood feud can't be avenged, my father, my mother, my grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters, all died in his hands, and now the Great Song Kingdom wants to make a move on Kyushu, if I don't seize this opportunity, then we will never have a chance to take revenge. ”Xiuping and Sheng's eyes are full of fierceness, which is completely different from the timidity of ordinary days.The maid sighed and leaned lightly against Xiuhei Kazusheng.Xiuping and Sheng said lightly: "I've endured it for so many years, it's enough......"
"Now that the opportunity has come to me, I can't miss him, even if this life is lost, I will admit it." ”The maid's expression was even more sad: "General, they are too powerful, and the Great Song Dynasty will not send troops so easily, you think everything is too simple......"
"Yes, otherwise Matsusaka Akiyoshi would not be so nervous, and the others would not be so united to support him, in the previous Goryeo matter, they all felt that the Great Song Dynasty would not send troops, what was the result?"
”Hidehei and Isaimichi."
The Wa Kingdom is too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a sea in the middle, even if the Wa Kingdom is taken, the Great Song Dynasty does not know how to govern it, because sending people here is no different from splitting the earth, and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will not do such a thing......"
"Matsusaka Shoyoshi is so nervous and asks everyone to contribute money and efforts, in my opinion, he is not to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, but to establish his prestige and prepare for the unification of Kyushu in the future..."
