    Hearing Yu Dayou insult Hu Wanli in this way, Tang Jinbao couldn't help but change his color and angrily shouted: "How dare you, the defeated general, be so arrogant in front of my general?" Hearing the defeated general, Yu Dayou couldn't help but raise his brows, wanting to retaliate, and raised his lips  He moved, but was speechless. He was indeed defeated and captured, and Dongxing Port also defeated them in an upright manner. It was impossible not to be convinced.  Hu Wanli looked back at Tang Jinbao with dissatisfaction, then turned around and said in a deep voice: "According to what General Yu said, aren't all Dongxing Port people disloyal, unfilial, and unkind?" Yu Dayou glanced at him sideways.  , snorted softly in his nose, and then said: "Isn't it?" Looking at his expression, Hu Wanli felt angry, but he suppressed it and stared at him for a moment before saying disdainfully.  : "A mere martial scholar can't rule the country with his literary skills, and can't open up frontiers and defend his territory with his martial arts. Why are you so arrogant in front of me?" As he spoke, his voice suddenly became louder, "Dongxing Gang is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust.  Franji invaded and occupied the Ming Dynasty for 20 years. Where are the loyal, filial, and benevolent people of the Ming Dynasty? In the past few years, disasters have occurred one after another in the Ming Dynasty. Dongxing Port has donated up to 1.2 million taels of silver.  How much did people donate? The Three Proclaims and Six Welfares of the Ming Dynasty were gradually eroded. Where were the loyal, filial, and benevolent people of the Ming Dynasty? Ningbo competed for tribute, and the Japanese pirates fought from Ningbo to Shaoxing. The road was like a deserted place. Where were the loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous people of the Ming Dynasty?  Where? The Japanese invaded the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and they committed numerous evil deeds. Dongxing Port was unfaithful, unkind and unjust, but they led a large army to conquer the Japanese. What were the loyal and righteous people of the Ming Dynasty doing to hinder Dongxing's alliance?  Hong Kong conquers Japan! Is this what you call loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness?¡± Listening to Hu Wanli¡¯s angry rebuke, Yu Dayou¡¯s nonchalant expression suddenly turned serious. He wanted to refute, but he couldn¡¯t refute a word.  In fact, it was Dongxing Port that defeated the Franji people.  Recovering Mancajia and expedition to Annan, Dongxing Port also eliminated Japanese troubles on the southeast coast and wiped out pirates in the southeast sea.  As for the amount of money Dongxing Port has donated to disaster-stricken areas in various places over the years, it is indeed an astonishing amount. Every time the Charity Association publishes a donation list in Jinling News, Dongxing Port is always at the top of the list. The amount is astonishing. This is  It's something that everyone knows tomorrow.  Seeing the change in his expression, Hu Wanli slowly sat down.  He said something even more heart-wrenching, "Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, regicide and usurped the throne, and his uncle usurped the throne of his nephew. Is this considered unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind?" After hearing these words, Yu Dayou's face immediately turned pale. This is really cruel.  If you are extremely concerned, even though Zhu Di is the king of Yan.  But for Emperor Jianwen, after all, it was the status of monarch and minister.  Regicide and usurping the throne is a real act of unfaithfulness, filial piety, benevolence and unrighteousness. According to this statement, the current Ming Dynasty kings are all descendants of Zhu Di.  The whole world is full of unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people!  After a long while, he muttered softly: "That's his Zhu family's family affairs." "You haven't heard of the saying that the emperor has no family affairs?" Hu Wanli glanced at him sideways and said lightly: "You are a martial artist.  Don¡¯t get pedantic after reading a few books. As a soldier, your bounden duty is to expand the territory and protect the environment and the people. Xiaoliuqiu is the Xiaoliuqiu of the Ming Dynasty. I am also the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty guarding Xiaoliuqiu.  The current conquest of the East, the South, and the future conquest of the West are all for the Ming Dynasty. You don't seem to be a sensible person" After hearing this, Yu Dayou couldn't help but raise his head and said: "Dongxing.  Can Hong Kong become independent overseas?" Hu Wanli glanced at him and said, "Idiot, do I have to wait until now to become a king?" Yu Dayou didn't care at all when he was called an idiot.  It goes without saying that the strength of Dongxing Port is as high as 100,000 troops and nearly 200 battleships. In terms of combat power, it is comparable to the Ming Dynasty. The entire Southeast Asia and dozens of island countries have been included in Dongxing Port.  In this name, if Hu Wanli is determined to stand on his own feet, why wait until now?  A country could have been established long ago.  What moved him even more was Hu Wanli's words of conquering the East, South, and West. Dongxing Port was very ambitious. Only by investing in Dongxing Port did he have the opportunity to show off his skills and what he had learned. In the past few years in the Haizhou Fleet, he  It's really unspeakably frustrating. Now that the two major naval forces of the imperial court have been defeated, not to mention that there is no chance for a comeback. Even if he can make a comeback, he can only huddle in the military port. Besides, he can't go back. Is it really possible in this life?  Will Xiaoliuqiu be an ordinary citizen for the rest of his life?  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed. After a slight hesitation, he said: "I heard that Ashikaga Yoshimi and Ouchi Yoshitaka of the Japanese country sent envoys to Tianjin and entered into an alliance with the imperial court at the cost of one million taels of silver. It seems that  He also purchased 200 sailing ships from the imperial court. "Is the imperial court going crazy for just one million taels of silver?"Li smiled disdainfully, Ashikaga Yoshimi and Ouchi Yoshitaka were quite rich, and they really wanted to make a big deal this time. After thinking for a while, he looked at Yu Dayou and said: "You don't understand very well.  , The attitude is not good either. I¡¯ll be hungry for three days. Go down.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be hungry for three days!¡±  Yu Dayou immediately exclaimed: "Why do I have to be hungry for three days? This is because the rewards and punishments are unclear." Hu Wanli said with a half-smile: "The unclear rewards and punishments are for my subordinates, you are now a prisoner  " Hearing these words, Yu Dayou still didn't understand what the other party was thinking. He immediately knelt down on one leg without hesitation, and with the etiquette of a subordinate in the army meeting a superior officer, he handed over his hands and said: "I am willing to fight for the commander-in-chief in all directions.  "Decisive killing is the talent of a general," Hu Wanli said with a smile.  Hearing Hu Wanli's words of encouragement as a general, Yu Dayou felt warm in his heart. He had never been so valued in the Haizhou Fleet. What was even more rare was that the meaning of Hu Wanli's words was that he would not be ignored just because he was a demoted general.  He, he quickly raised his hands and said: "The commander-in-chief praises you too much, but you really can't take it seriously. I will try my best to live up to the commander-in-chief's expectations." "Someone will give him food." Hu Wanli pondered for a while before saying: "Fa Ge  The letter, using red pigeons, ordered Xiamen Xie Wenchang to immediately arrange for people to go to Quanzhou to bring Yu Dayou and his family to Hanwu. "As he said, he looked at Yu Dayou and said: "If you have relatives who are worried, please make a list.  Pick them up together to prevent them from being implicated." Dongxing Port also carries carrier pigeons with the fleet?  Yu Dayou couldn't help but feel happy, although this move might have announced that Yu Dayou had defected to Dongxing Port.  He was forced to have no room for regret, but he was still grateful. He was also afraid that his family and relatives would be implicated because of this. After a slight hesitation, he said: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your consideration." "Let's go down." Hu Wanli said and turned around.  Come and take a look at Tang Jinbao.  He said: "Don't be arrogant when swearing at people. It has no courage and pleasure. You are a military commander, so don't be tainted by the sour smell of scholars." "Yes, I will remember the commander's instructions." Tang Jinbao quickly stood up and said, secretly thinking, Dongshi imitated.  , embarrassing the commander-in-chief.  When Yu Dayou walked to the door, he smiled.  This Hu Wanli is really a wonderful person. He is a serious scholar and a typical literati, but he keeps saying that literati are rotten. It seems that Dongxing Port does not emphasize literature over martial arts, but emphasizes martial arts over literature. No wonder Dongxing  Hong Kong's martial arts is at its peak.  Two days later.  Dongxing Port's huge fleet entered Kyoto Bay with a murderous look.  The news of the Battle of Satsuma has already spread.  Officials, merchants, soldiers, and civilians from cities near Kyoto Bay either fled into Sakai Port or elsewhere. People in Kyoto were even more panicked. Dongxing Port sent hundreds of warships. It was obvious that they were not here just for tourism, and their goals were not  It might be Sakai Port, but it can only be Kyoto.  The news that Lord Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimi had offended Toko Port also spread like wildfire.  Many ministers, shogunate officials, and merchants of all sizes have abandoned their homes and fled. Dongxing Port has been powerful in recent years, and Sakai Port has been trading with Wanli Port.  Although Kyoto is located in a corner, the news about Toxing Port has never been cut off. They still remember the achievements of Guangzhou and Fuzhou City in the Ming Dynasty that were captured by Toxing Port in less than half a day. No one believes in Ashikaga Yoshimi's story.  The troops and the dilapidated city of Kyoto resisted the soldiers at Dongxing Port.  Yes, no one believed that they could withstand the attack of Dongxing Port. In recent years, the general Ashikaga Yoshiki, who has become more and more prestigious and powerful, also knew it well and did not dare to clamor to compete with Dongxing Port. He only hesitated for half a day.  , he packed up his gold and silver and fled Kyoto with a large number of troops loyal to him.  Emperor Nara was not to be outdone, and fled Kyoto with his royal family members. When the news spread, the entire Kyoto immediately staged a great escape. Nine out of ten rooms were empty, and in less than two days it became an empty city.  Hu Wanli can be regarded as revisiting his old place. Dongxing Port's first expedition to the Japanese Kingdom was in the twelfth year of Jiajing. At that time, he also led the expedition in person. However, at that time, Dongxing Port only had more than 2,000 troops. Eight years later, he went there again.  Come, his troops have expanded to 20,000, and this time he is not here to extort money.  Standing on the deck and observing Sakai Port with a telescope, he said with some emotion: "Sakai Port is much more prosperous than it was back then." Liu Siwu did not follow him back then, so Wang Fugui quickly took over and said: "Commander  , since Ashikaga Yoshivi integrated the Kyoto area, this area has been relatively peaceful, and Sakai Port is also a free port. In recent years, the reputation of maritime trade with Wanli Port is indeed far greater than before. "" Sakai Port must be suppressed." Hu Wanli said quietly.  Said: "The trade with Japanese pirates must be completely controlled by our maritime merchants in Dongxing Port"  Plan, hearing Hu Wanli's tone, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Commander, are you going to let Sakai Harbor go? Japanese pirates are not fun." Hu Wanli turned around and looked.He glanced at it and said with a smile: "You are not very old. Have you ever fought with Japanese pirates in your early years?" Xu Zhegui said bitterly: "My father's mistake at sea was the fault of Japanese pirates." Hu Wanli nodded slightly and said  : "The Japanese country has a population of nearly ten million, how many can be killed?" The Japanese country has such a large population?  Xu Zhegui couldn't help but was stunned and immediately speechless. Hu Wanli glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and then said: "A man, you should be happy with your grudges. Since you have the revenge of killing your father, I will give you two  I want you to join the attack on Kyoto." "Thank you, Marshal!" Xu Zhegui saluted quickly.  Hu Wanli turned around, pointed toward the northern part of the harbor, and said: "I surveyed that area eight years ago. It is a good place to build a port. Except for Xu Zhegui, everyone else tried to capture as many prisoners as possible and build it.  To build a city and build a port, we must turn Japan into our territory." "I obey," a group of officers responded loudly.  After a brief pause, Liu Siwu said: "Commander, since we are going to build a city, please give me the name of the city." After thinking for a moment, Hu Wanli said: "It is said that the Japanese Kingdom originated from Xu Fu who led thousands of boys and girls to go to sea to seek the Penglai Holy Mountain.  And the immortal medicine was named Qinyuan City." The huge fleet slowly arrived at the northern bay.  A group of officers and soldiers immediately disembarked and went ashore to build a camp. The reason why Hu Wanli chose this place to build the city was because the terrain was good, with mountains and the sea, which was conducive to defense, and the bay was wide.  It is conducive to the entry and exit of sea-going ships. What Dongxing Port needs is a good port.  At dusk, Hu Wanli walked slowly along the beach. Tang Jinbao and Yu Dayou followed not far away. Hu Wanli was quite relieved about Yu Dayou. This guy was originally from Fengyang Prefecture, Anhui Province, but he had already multiplied in Quanzhou.  In the fifth generation, he handed over the list of people who wanted to move to Hanwu Port.  There are seventeen families with more than two hundred people, which is enough to show his sincerity. Such a martial arts master cannot be wasted.  While walking, Hu Wanli thought about the situation in Japan. If Toko Port was established in Kyoto Bay, it would have to withstand attacks from Ouchi Yoshitaka, Ashikaga Yoshimi, and Hojo Ujitsuna.  It would be okay if Ashikaga Yoshivi could be seriously injured or killed this time, otherwise.  At least one division of troops must be stationed here.  Just as he was thinking to himself, Liu Siwu, Wang Fugui, and Yu Dayou quickly caught up and reported: "Commander, several people from Sakai Port have brought a fleet" Hu Wanli had no intention of seeing them.  , immediately said: "Liu Siwu went to see them on my behalf and asked them to prepare food. Tell them clearly that Dongxing Port will build a city here, and the free port status of Sakai Port will be retained." "Yes." Liu Siwu said and continued:  "The spies from Sakai Port sent information that the Emperor of Japan and Ashikaga Yoshiki have abandoned the city and fled. Kyoto is now an empty city." "All ran away?" Hu Wanli frowned. It seemed that they wanted to temporarily  Avoiding the edge, he also estimated that the escort team would not be able to stay here for a long time. He pondered for a while and then said: "What do you think of this matter?" "Ashikaga Yoshimi obviously wants to delay." Liu Siwu considered it and said: "It is impossible for us with 20,000 troops.  After spending a long time with him, his subordinates secretly thought that they should first clean up the surrounding area and make all the surrounding cities surrender. When Qinyuan City begins to take shape, they can withdraw their troops and leave five thousand people to garrison.  Wait a few years and then attack the Ouchi and Hojo families. " "The Japanese country is not the Ming Dynasty. To the Japanese country, we are a foreign nation. The emperor will not die and the general will not be destroyed. We will do little to win over the people." Yu Dayou said.  He said without hesitation: "We must destroy the emperor and the general, and cut off their thoughts." "That's right." Hu Wanli nodded slightly and said: "The emperor of Japan has always been a good example. Although he has no real power, he still has power in Japan.  He is a god-like existence. The emperor must be destroyed, and all the members of the royal family must be cut off. Their roots will be cut off. The same is true for the general. Killing the emperor and the general may cause great public outrage, but it is gone.  The spiritual support of the Japanese country is a mess. As for taxation, just let the people make a living. Refer to how they tax. If there is resistance, we will suppress it mercilessly. We are foreigners and must rule with an iron fist. How about sweeping it first.  Leave two divisions of troops and thirty warships here in the Japanese country, and let me continue to conquer the surrounding areas. First, consolidate this area. " In the past few years, Toko Port has been sending officers and soldiers to Ashikaga Yoshiki in turns to observe and train, and has long been interested in Kyoto.  He knows the surrounding area well, and is very familiar with the castle topography of Kawachi, Izumi, Settsu, Yamajo, Awaji, Kii, Yamato, Iga, Omi, Tanba, Harima and other places.  That night, officers at the battalion level or above held a meeting and determined their respective tasks again based on the map. Early the next morning, 20,000 soldiers of the escort marched towards their respective targets in four groups. Groups of soldiers were armed with live ammunition, well-equipped, and in neat military uniforms.  They attack everywhere, and wherever they pass, they are all quiet and afraid of people.Most of the people fled their homes, and the few who did not escape closed their homes, too scared to speak out.  In Sakai Port City, although they received a guarantee from Dongxing Port last night to retain Sakai Port's free port status, they saw well-dressed escort officers and soldiers landing from the dock one after another, and artillery pieces were unloaded from the ship.  People were still on tenterhooks, and most of the escort officers and soldiers did not enter the city. They only sent two small teams into the city to collect all the horses in the city, and then went around the city.  It was only then that all the officials and merchants in Sakai Port breathed a secret sigh of relief and began to talk about the soldiers in Dongxing Port, their novel military uniforms, artillery with huge wheels, each man holding a black and shiny musket, and the neat queue.  , are all topics they talk about, and it¡¯s not surprising that they are very interested. In fact, the difference between the soldiers of Dongxing Port and the Ashgaru of Japan is really too big. The Japanese Ashigaru, which is mostly composed of farmers, is the same as the Dongxing Port Guards.  After all, Jane is no different from a beggar.  At this time, the news that Dongxing Port was going to build a city in the northern part of the bay gradually spread, which immediately caused everyone's uneasiness. Everyone knew what it meant to build a city here, which meant that Dongxing Port would be here for a long time.  Soldiers are stationed in Tokoko Port to replace the general Ashikaga Yoshivi in ??ruling this place.  There is no worse news than this. People were panicked for a while, and everyone was talking about it. The maritime trade between Wanli Port and Sakai Port has been quite stable in recent years. The merchants of Sakai Port all know that it is no longer possible for Wanli Port to come to Japan.  Limited to the monsoon season, you can come at any time all year round, and the voyage usually only takes half a month. In this case, it is impossible to prevent Dongxing Port from invading the Japanese country. Many people realize for the first time that the smooth sea route brings not only  It¡¯s sea trade, but also invasion!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
