Chapter 848: Coercion And Inducement, One Third Of Honshu Island Has Been Acquired [Please Subscribe
When King Zhu Di of Yan and Duke Feng Sheng of Song fought and retreated, they lured 500,000 Japanese warriors commanded by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to go deep into Noto country.
The four Ming armies, Prince Zhu Biao, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Zhen of Chu, and King Zhu Bo of Qi, also began to further attack other Lingzhi countries on Honshu Island at the same time.
Among them, Prince Zhu Biao and Chu King Zhu Zhen also joined forces to attack the Bingo Kingdom.
This move also shocked and dismayed the Japanese local guardian daimyo and Japanese warriors who belonged to the Northern Dynasty Emperor who had taken refuge with Prince Zhu Biao.
This is because the Bingo Kingdom is a territorial state that is loyal to the Northern Emperor, and these regional territorial states and Japanese samurai who are loyal to the Northern Emperor are now allied with the Ming army including Prince Zhu Biao!
To put it bluntly, big brother, I am your little brother!!!
Why are you hitting me?!!
In response to this, Prince Zhu Biao also responded very domineeringly:
"Wherever the Ming army is, no place is allowed to exist that is not under its control!"
To put it bluntly, although you have formed an alliance with the Ming Army, the Ming Army does not trust you.
The places where the Ming army passed through, whether it belonged to the Lingzhi country of the Southern Dynasty or the Lingzhi country of the Northern Dynasty, must all be under the control of the Ming army.
So even if you are allies of the Ming army, if your Lingzhi country does not temporarily surrender to the Ming army and accept the control of the Ming army, then the Ming army will also attack you!
As soon as these words came out, the Emperor of Northern Dynasty, as well as the local guardian daimyo and Japanese warriors who belonged to Northern Dynasty, all had a look of anger on their faces.
They "sincerely" formed an alliance with the Ming army, but the Ming army looked down on them at all.
Japanese warriors like them were not allowed to enter Mingzhou City, and they were not allowed to live in the same city with the Ming Dynasty soldiers. It was clear that they were on guard against them, so they tolerated it.
But if the Ming army passes through the places where Ling Zhiguo doesn't temporarily surrender to the Ming army and accept the control of the Ming army, the Ming army will fight them too!
Is this even justified?!!
Is there any royal law for this?!
Even if the other party is the Ming army, you can't be so overbearing and humiliate them!!!
Just when the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty, as well as the local guardian Daimyo of the Northern Dynasty, were ready to unite to express their "dissatisfaction" to the Ming army.
Prince Zhu Biao once again sent a message to the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty and the local order of the Northern Dynasty to the country to protect the Daimyo Road:
"Anyone who is willing to temporarily surrender the country to the Ming army and accept its control."
"The Ming army will also bulldoze their original imperial kingdoms in the future, and then rebuild a city as tall, strong, and reliable as Mingzhou City as one of the temporary military strongholds of the Ming army!"
"Afterwards, when the Ming army completes its crusade against the Muromachi shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and withdraws from the Japanese country, then these cities that have been built now will naturally be left to you."
"Of course, many Japanese people will definitely die in this process."
"However, I think you won't mind such a few casualties."
As soon as these words came out, the Emperor of the Northern Dynasties, who was about to express his "dissatisfaction" to the Ming army, and the local guardian Daimyo of the Northern Dynasties, stopped immediately.
Then they looked up at Mingzhou City, where the Ming army did not allow them to enter, with greed in their eyes.
Mingzhou City can be said to be one of the most majestic, tall and solid cities in their Japanese country!
It was several times taller and more magnificent than the emperor of the Northern Dynasty or the capital of the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty!
It can be said that the only cities currently comparable to Mingzhou City are those built by other Lu Ming armies.
And how could they not want such a majestic, tall and solid city?
If they can have such a majestic, tall and solid city as the capital of their Lingzhi Kingdom, then they no longer have to worry about anyone being able to attack their Lingzhi Kingdom.
It can be said that I will have a solid backing that will almost never fall in the future. The sense of security this brings is simply overwhelming!
Moreover, the reason why the Emperor of the Northern Dynasties chose to form an alliance with the Ming army was also because he had the idea of waiting for the Ming army to withdraw to Japan, and then, as an ally of the Ming army, inherit the property left by the Ming army in Japan.
Just like Mingzhou City, although it still belongs to Ming Dynasty.
But the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty had already secretly thought in his heart that after the Ming army retreated to the Japanese country, he would move the capital of the Northern Dynasty to Mingzhou City.
One can imagine how tempting Mingzhou City is to them.
But now what do they hear?!!
After the Ming Dynasty, other Lingzhi countries that were willing to temporarily surrender their entire country and accept the control of the Ming Dynasty would also build a state city as majestic, tall and solid as Mingzhou City?!
After the Ming army withdraws from Japan, will such a state and city be left to them?!!
Hiss, what’s the difference between this and the Ming Dynasty helping them, the Japanese, to protect their names and build cities!!!
As long as they wait for the Ming Dynasty to withdraw their troops, they will be able to build one Ming Dynasty for free, or even several majestic, tall and solid state cities!!!
And all they had to pay for this was to temporarily surrender the country to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, it may not sound nice to say this.
To put it mildly, the whole country is temporarily under the control of the Ming army. The local guardian daimyo, retainers, and generals and samurai have temporarily lost the freedom to move around.
In fact, this kind of transaction does not seem to be unacceptable.
As for the number of Japanese people who might die during the construction of these state cities by the army, this was not within their scope of consideration.
Anyway, they are the local guardian daimyo of the Japanese country, or they are retainers, generals, and samurai, as long as they do not fight with the Ming army and become prisoners of the Ming army.
So as the nominal allies of the Ming army, they still don't need to build the state city themselves. They just need to sit back and enjoy their achievements.
Even after the Ming army withdrew from the Japanese country, they could still blame all the Japanese people who died of exhaustion from building these cities and towns on the brutal Ming army!
At that time, they can also take the opportunity to refresh the hearts and minds of the Japanese people!
If this is the case, the local guardian daimyo of Japan are still just moved.
Then the next words that Prince Zhu Biao ordered to be passed on to them not only made their hearts flutter, but also made them want to throw their lives and blood for the Ming Dynasty right now.
"The land of Japan is small and narrow, and the Ming Dynasty wants it to be useless." "
"Today, the Ming Dynasty's soldiers have arrived, so we should redefine the affairs of the Japanese country, redraw the territory, and redistribute the population [Tong Jian's authority!"
"During the attack on the Muromachi shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, all the territories attacked by the Ming army, as well as the captured Japanese slaves, will be rewarded based on their merits when the Ming army successfully retreats!
"At that time, the warriors who have made great contributions to the Ming army can be promoted to generals!"
"If your generals have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, they can be promoted to ministers!"
"Young ministers who have made great contributions to the Ming army can be promoted to daimyo!"
"Originally, the name of the country that only occupied one land was due to the Ming army. Now it can gain the land of two countries and become the name of the two countries!"
"The daimyo who originally occupied the land of the two countries have contributed to the Ming army. They can occupy the land of the three kingdoms and become the daimyo of the three kingdoms!"
"If his contribution is great, then it would not be a bad idea for the Ming Dynasty to reward him with all the Japanese territory and Japanese slaves that he conquered!"
As soon as the words of Prince Zhu Biao came out, the local guardian daimyo of the Northern Dynasty emperor's power, as well as the retainers, generals, and Japanese warriors all became excited.
The Japanese state of this period, or the Japanese state has always attached great importance to the theory of blood since ancient times.
The Japanese believed that the bloodlines of the emperor and daimyo were noble, and the only people who could become emperors and daimyo were their descendants.
Therefore, no matter how useless the emperor or daimyo is in their opinion, at most they will abolish one emperor or daimyo, and then install another emperor or daimyo, instead of replacing them with the emperor or daimyo!
Just like the Ashikaga clan, even the Northern Emperor was supported by them, and the Northern Emperor was a puppet to them.
But even so, they still dare not openly say that they want to depose the Northern Emperor and then become the new Emperor. The most they can do is to open the office, appoint themselves a general, and take charge of the government.
The respect for the theory of blood can be said to be engraved in the blood of the Japanese people.
Even in Yan Changqing's previous life, this lineage theory still lingers.
For example, Yan Changqing's most famous migrant comics in his previous life, such as "Dragon Pearl", "Death God", "King of the Sea", "Naruto", etc., can almost all be summarized in one sentence.
That is: no matter what race I have the blood of, I am the best. People who don’t have the corresponding blood will not be able to catch up with me even if they fly a spaceship, let alone flatter me!
Therefore, under the influence of such a concept of bloodline theory, those middle and low-level retainers, generals, and warriors, their highest goal is to hope that they can become a noble official who protects the daimyo in a certain place, or perhaps They are just ministers and dignitaries under the emperor.
As for letting themselves become local guardian daimyo, or even become the emperor, they dare not think about it.
Well, it’s not that I dare not think about it.
After all, the concept of subordinates overcoming superiors is also very popular in Japan. At most, they can only think about it, but if they are really asked to do such a thing.
They often feel unworthy under the influence of the concept of blood.
But now the Ming Dynasty says that as long as they serve the Ming army, let alone officials and dignitaries, even if they are directly allowed to be the guardian of a certain country's daimyo, or even the emperor, that is not impossible!
After all, if the Ming Dynasty really rewards all the Japanese lands and all the Japanese slaves and people to a certain person, then this is no different from the Ming Dynasty appointing this person as the new emperor of the Japanese country.
And if such words were spoken by their local guardian daimyo, or if it were spoken by the emperor, then they would definitely not believe it.
After all, the status of a local guardian daimyo is only to the level of a local guardian daimyo. How can he have the power and ability to reward other retainers, generals, and Japanese warriors to become new local guardian daimyo.
In the case where other kingdoms can be annexed, the guardian daimyo of these places would rather serve as the guardian daimyo of multiple kingdoms than to promote a certain retainer, general, or Japanese warrior to the position of guardian of a certain place. Daimyo.
Because this is not to reward retainers, generals and Japanese warriors, but to make the retainers, generals and Japanese warriors who were named daimyo become their enemies.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the guardians of daimyo in these places would only promote certain retainers, generals and Japanese warriors to the level of imperial ministers.
The same is true for the emperor. As the emperor, at most he can promote certain retainers, generals and Japanese samurai to the level of local order to protect the daimyo, but he will never say that he will promote certain retainers, generals and Japanese samurai to the level of protecting the daimyo. Promoted to the emperor.
Otherwise, once there are multiple emperors in Japan at the same time, the emperors of the northern and southern dynasties will inevitably be divided like now!
And although all the Japanese may not be willing to admit it, these Japanese have to admit that the existence of the Ming Dynasty
It is to protect the daimyo from the local area of Japan, even to the existence of the emperor.
The local guardian daimyo cannot promote a retainer, general, or samurai to the local guardian daimyo, but the Ming Dynasty can!
Similarly, the emperor cannot promote a certain retainer, general or Japanese warrior to the emperor, but the Ming Dynasty can still do it!
In other words, these middle and low-level retainers, generals and Japanese warriors may really become the most noble local guardian daimyo of the Japanese country, or even become the emperor!
The excitement this brought to the middle and low-level retainers, generals and Japanese warriors of the Japanese state is somewhat similar to what Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said during the uprising of China in the past:
"."Princes, generals, and ministers would rather have peace of mind!"
It was this sentence that broke the lineage theory that the six pre-Qin countries had always respected, and let the Chinese people know that the princes, generals and ministers were not that great. Whatever they could do, I can do too.
And the words "Princes, generals and ministers would rather have their own kind" brought so much shock and excitement to the Chinese people, so how much shock and excitement the words of Prince Zhu Biao now brought to the Emperor of Japan.
The Ming army could promote them to protect the local daimyo, and even under the temptation of the emperor, not to mention those ordinary middle and low-level retainers, generals and Japanese samurai, even the emperor of the Northern Dynasty stopped staying in his "Kyoto".
Instead, he personally led his remaining 10,000 Japanese warriors to protect himself and rushed to Mingzhou City to listen to the words of the Ming army in person.
The purpose is also very simple, that is, to strive for more merit and make some contributions to the Ming army.
In this way, maybe the Ming army will finally get all the territory they conquered, make people enslave the people, and reward them all to him.
And he will also unify the Northern and Southern Dynasties and truly become the emperor with great power!
Of course, he is not the only one who has this idea.
Nanchao Tianli, as well as the local guardian daimyo of Nanchao, as well as other middle and low-level retainers, generals and Japanese warriors, also had similar thoughts after hearing the words from the prince Zhu Biao.
In order to make his contribution large enough, he can get more rewards from the Ming army when the Ming army retreats in the future.
As a result, all the emperors, local guardian daimyo, middle and low-level retainers, generals and Japanese samurai who were attached to the Ming army also took action.
For example, why did the Ming army want to pass through my country of Lingzhi?!!
No problem, I will temporarily surrender the whole country, and all the Japanese people under my rule will be turned into slaves, at the mercy of the Ming army!
For another example, what other place made Zhiguo unwilling to temporarily surrender to the Ming army?!!
Please let me go and talk to him. If we can talk well, that's good.
If the negotiation doesn't go well, then just chop off the other party's head and take it back.
If you think about it this way, when the Ming army fights against them, it will be much easier.
Under such circumstances, the five imperial kingdoms of Inaba, Boqi, Beizhong, Meizuo, and Harimo were successively defeated by the four Ming armies: Prince Zhu Biao, King of Jin Zhu Fan, King of Chu Zhu Zhen, and King of Qi Zhu Ping. Annexed.
At this point, it can be said that the left side of one-third of Bengoku Honshu Island has been encroached and occupied by the Ming Dynasty.
