During the battle against Japan, Lu Bu felt a sudden sense of being in another world, as if World War II had happened again, but the difference was that the roles had been reversed.
Zhou Yu and Gan Ning threw some broken and obsolete weapons to the hundreds of thousands of young men from more than 30 small countries in Yamatai to organize them into a decent army. Zhou Yu sent a brigade to act as their grassroots officers and drove these The Japanese fought repeatedly with the army of their compatriots, the Gounu Kingdom.
Obviously, Lu Bu wanted the Japanese to kill each other this time. The reason why he did not take revenge personally was because he had learned a lesson. A thousand years later, Mongolia sent large armies to attack Japan twice and failed, even miserably. This serious lesson must be learned.
In early October 1274 AD, Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, ordered Xindu, the strategic envoy of Fengzhou, and Hong Chali, the military and civilian commander of Goryeo, to expedition to Japan with 900 warships and 25,000 soldiers, and finally occupied Tsushima, The two islands of Iki and then invaded Hizen Matsuura County, which put the Japanese army at a disadvantage and had to temporarily retreat to the vicinity of Dazaifu. Although the Yuan army drove away the Japanese army, they did not camp on land and returned to their ships at night. When the Yuan army returned to the ship, there happened to be a storm that night, and more than two hundred Yuan ships sank. The remaining Yuan army retreated, and the Japanese were saved from disaster. When the storm first broke out, because they were unfamiliar with the terrain, the Yuan army's fleet anchored at the mouth of Hakata Bay was in chaos. They either collided with each other and capsized, or were sunk by big waves. After midnight, the strong wind gradually subsided, but the heavy rain fell again, and it was dark. In one piece, the soldiers who fell into the sea could not be rescued at all. Xindu was afraid that the Japanese army would take the opportunity to attack, so he ordered the troops to withdraw in the rain and return home. In this battle, more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers died, and Japanese history books called it the "Battle of Water."
In May 1281 AD, Kublai Khan gathered 100,000 new auxiliary troops from the Southern Song Dynasty to form a large army to expedition to Japan on the grounds that the Japanese had killed the Mongolian envoys. The troops were divided into two groups. Hongchaqiu and Xindu led 40,000 Mongolian, Goryeo, and Han troops to cross the sea from Goryeo. Atahai, Fan Hu, and Li Ting led the new auxiliary army to sail from Qingyuan and Dinghai in 9,000 sea-going ships. The King of Goryeo provided the Yuan Dynasty with 10,000 troops, 1,500 sailors, 900 ships and a large amount of food. Commander Atahai led an army of 140,000 and dispatched 4,400 warships. The entire fleet is mighty and powerful, heading straight towards the Japanese country. It is very likely that it will not defeat the Japanese country in one fell swoop, will not avenge the past, and will never give up. In early June, two huge fleets met off the coast of Kyushu, and then the Yuan army began landing operations. This time the expedition encountered stronger resistance, but the Mongol coalition was unable to coordinate operations due to conflicts between the Goryeo, Han, and Mongol commanders. The two armies fell into a stalemate. In early August, a violent hurricane suddenly blew up in the Pacific. The storm lasted for four days. The ship base of the Yuan Army's Southern Fleet was destroyed, and most of the ships of the Northern Fleet were also lost. The remaining ships of the Northern Fleet carried the commander and part of the Mongolian and Goryeo troops to escape the battlefield and sail back to Goryeo. The commanders of the Confederate Army and some senior officials were helpless. They had no choice but to abandon the main force and escape on the few remaining ships of the Southern Fleet. At this time, there are still nearly 100,000 yuan troops left on the beach of Jiulong Mountain. These people have lost their supplies and retreat, and are unable to break through the Japanese defense line. Now they have to wait for death. Three days later, the Japanese began to counterattack and drove the remaining Yuan troops to a narrow area called Bajiao Island. Then attack with troops. Most of the Yuan army was killed, and the remaining 20,000 people were taken prisoner. The Japanese divided the prisoners into four classes according to Mongolian standards. The first three classes were Mongols. The Semu people, Jurchens, Koreans and northern Han people were all executed, and the fourth-class Tang people (southern Han people) were spared from becoming untouchables after death. in this fiasco. Only three Confederate soldiers escaped, cobbling together a small boat. Fortunately, I floated back to China. Through these three survivors, Kublai Khan finally learned the truth about the defeat. Fan Hu, the deputy commander-in-chief of the war, was beheaded, and other officials were also punished to varying degrees. The Japanese government and opposition parties were very surprised by the sudden typhoon that drove away the Yuan army, and launched a large-scale worship activity across the country, called "divine wind". After that, the "divine wind" accompanied the Japanese slaves for more than 600 years until the end of World War II.
The most powerful army in the cold weapon era, the Mongolian cavalry, had been defeated twice. Lu Bu did not dare to take it lightly. He was unwilling to force all the Japanese to unite at once. He had to divide them and make them suffer from internal friction before taking advantage of them.
During the Japanese civil war, Hanzo's army was beaten to a pulp by the army of the Gonu Kingdom. They retreated to the northern part of the Yamatai Kingdom in embarrassment and joined the armies of Zhou Yu and Gan Ning who came for reinforcements. Lu Bu deliberately imitated the "Twenty-One Articles" that the Japanese forced Yuan Shikai to sign and drafted a new "Twenty-One Articles" for Hanzo to sign. Hanzo was not only worried about the pressure of the dog-slave country's army, but also frightened by the might of the Chinese Empire's army. My sister Himiko had no choice but to sign the new "Twenty-One Articles".
When the treaty was sent back to Luoyang, Lu Bu held it in his hands and laughed loudly. The drafting of this new "Twenty-one Articles" really avenged the shame of the past. However, this seemingly excessive treaty was drawn up purely to amuse the Japanese people, to stabilize their minds, and to make them mistakenly believe that the Chinese Empire had such a conspiracy. Who knew that Lu Bu would uproot the Japanese slaves in the future, and these twenty-one points were enough Useless.
Lu Bu led 50,000 imperial guards to Donglai County, Qingzhou.They gathered 50,000 county soldiers and 50,000 field guards from Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou counties, a total of 100,000 horses, quietly left the port and sailed to Yamatai Kingdom.
Zhou Yu and Gan Ning dispatched fleets to meet Lu Bu's army. Lu Bu led many new generation generals this time, including Lu Meng, Wang Ji, Wu Ban, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, E Huan, Guo Huai, Sun Li, Ling Tong and others. , the officials included Guo Jia, Kan Ze, Li Hui, Zhuge Jin and others.
Lu Bu's army did not intervene in the civil wars between the Yamatai Kingdom and the Gonu Kingdom at the beginning. Instead, they took advantage of the Japanese civil war to take care of other things. With the support of the East China Sea and Bohai Fleets, they invaded the four major territories of Japan, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Hokkaido. All the more than 6,000 islands outside the island were occupied.
This took a full year, and during this year, the Yamatai Kingdom was not as powerful as the Gounu Kingdom after all, and both sides received the same weapon support. Although both sides suffered numerous casualties, the front line was still gradually moving towards evil. As the capital of Matai Kingdom moved forward, Yamatai Kingdom was retreating step by step.
The latest intelligence shows that both sides suffered numerous casualties, and most of the remaining ones were injured, with almost no ability to fight on a large scale. Lu Bu felt that the time had come for the Chinese Emperor's team to intervene.
Lu Bu's army advanced to Baihe Bridge, the front line of the Gounu Kingdom. The Gounu team did not dare to react at all. The Chinese army stationed here continued to hold provocative military exercises.
On the night of August 8th of this year, the Chinese army held a so-called military exercise near the Dog Slave Kingdom without notifying the authorities of the Dog Slave Kingdom. They claimed that a Chinese soldier was missing and requested entry into the important town of Sunshine City and the military. The search at Baihe Bridge, an important place, was sternly rejected by the garrison of the Dog Slave Kingdom.
Lu Bu then issued a solemn statement to the King of the Inuo Kingdom: "The Inuo Kingdom's insults to China are happening one after another, and our Greater China Army in Japan is patiently watching this. You will be here at midnight on August 8th. Illegal archery was conducted near Baihe Bridge, resulting in one missing soldier from our Heavenly Army. We were searching for the missing soldiers at Baihe Bridge and Sunlight City, but were attacked by you. For this reason, the situation in the northern part of the state is urgent, and our overseas Chinese are in danger, but we have not given up. We hope for a peaceful settlement and strive to resolve the incident in a local area based on the policy of not expanding the incident. Although you promised a peaceful settlement, you suddenly and illegally attacked us again on the night of August 10th, causing considerable casualties to our troops, and the number continues to increase. The troops on the front line prepared for war, showed no sincerity in peace negotiations, and finally completely refused to negotiate in Sunlight City. This incident was completely a planned armed resistance against China by the Dog Slave Kingdom, and there was no room for doubt. We believe that it is necessary for the slave country to apologize for illegal behaviors, especially those that exclude and insult China, and guarantee that similar behaviors will not occur again in the future, otherwise the Empire of China reserves the right to take further actions."
Lu Bu also issued an order: "As far as the Chinese Empire is concerned, maintaining public security in the northern part of the island is a very urgent matter, which goes without saying. In order to maintain peace in East Asia, the most important thing is for the Dog Slave Kingdom to deal with illegal behaviors, especially anti-Chinese behavior. , apologized for the act of insulting China, and took appropriate guarantees to prevent such behavior from happening in the future. As a result, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire made a major determination and decided to take necessary measures to immediately increase the number of troops on the island."
The reason why Lu Bu made such a move was simply to vent his resentment towards the Japanese invaders who invaded Marco Polo Bridge, and to treat others with their own way.
After King Inuye of the Inu Kingdom received the statement, he was furious after reading it: "It's so shameless! It's so despicable!" Little did he know that this was a tactic used by later Japanese pirates when they invaded China, so Lu Bu followed the instructions and used it.
King Inuye was so furious that he refused to put down his body and compromise, so he ordered his troops not to give in at all and to wait for an opportunity to attack.
Lu Bu just wanted to find a normal excuse to intervene in Japan's civil war, and Inuno King's attitude played into his heart.
Lu Bu used the excuse that the Dog Slave Kingdom continued to oppose China and carried out illegal military activities, and decided to start a legitimate military resistance.
However, Lu Bu was not willing to devote all his troops to it at first. There were still many wars in the Chinese Empire in the future, and we could not lose too much in this dirty land. The Japanese pirates still had to rely on their own people to consume their troops.
Lu Bu strengthened his support for the Yamatai Kingdom, so that the two Japanese alliances would be of equal strength, so that they could fight more fiercely, and he would die more due to internal strife.
Lu Bu did not show his coveting of the Japanese land at the beginning, nor did he brazenly attack the Japanese land. He just occupied other small islands besides the three major Japanese islands, and took advantage of the principle that every force within the Japanese country adheres to: "When resisting foreigners, you must first The stupid policy of "Anai" supports one Japanese force to fight with another force in order to benefit from it. When Japan is almost exhausted, it will turn its back.
Lu Bu also transferred some of the eliminated weapons and sold them to Yamatai. According to the provisions of the new "Twenty-one Articles", Lu Bu took over the command of the Yamatai army.
