Chapter 175 Ezo wants a bite of meat

After taking Ping'an Jing, Zhu Zhanhe was not in a hurry, but settled down on the spot again.

It can't be said that it was on the spot, because after the Jingguan in the palace was built, Zhu Zhanhe ordered everyone to retreat to the Settsu area.

In fact, if the significance of Ping An Jing was not too great, Zhu Zhanhe would not let people rush in so quickly.

Earthquakes, especially earthquakes with higher magnitudes, will cause greater harm aftershocks. Rushing into Ping'an Jing at this time was already an irrational act by Zhu Zhanhe.

Now that Ping An's capital has been decided, Zhu Zhanhe immediately ordered all troops to retreat.

Fortunately, this is Ping An Jing. Although Zhu Zhanhe dislikes and looks down on Japanese people, he has to say that they still have some biological instincts.

For example, choose a place to stay.

The location of Lake Biwa is actually the waist of Honshu Island in Japan. This is the narrowest part of Honshu Island, and the Pacific volcanic and seismic belt has also created a unique topography here.

Below Lake Biwa, starting from Heiankyo all the way to Settsu, Izumi and other places, there are fairly gentle plains with terrain ranging from high to low. This is why Zhu Zhanhe retreated here.

Zhu Zhanhe planned to stop, firstly to stabilize the place he had gained, and secondly to avoid the earthquake.

After passing the waist of Lake Biwa, the Japanese countries further back are all mountainous areas, such as the Kiso Mountains, the Kanto Mountains, the Echigo Mountains and the Ou Mountains.

Except for the last Ou Mountains, which is better, the rest are basically not good places.

Let's put it this way, if you pull up a terrain map, the colors of the mountains will be yellow and red.

It is difficult to clean a place like this, and even if it is solved, it will still be far from the level of control, at least not as good as the previous control.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe was ready to change his mind.

His main target is Jinshan on Sado Island. If he wants to capture the entire Honshu Island, it will undoubtedly be too difficult, and the procedures will be too cumbersome and time-consuming.

In this case, he might as well capture the plains on the north bank first.

Throughout history, human civilizations basically have something in common: they are close to water sources and are plain areas suitable for farming.

Therefore, as long as the plain areas are solved, at least half of the Japanese people can be solved.

"His Royal Highness!"

Just when Zhu Zhanhe was planning his next journey, Li Bin suddenly entered the camp.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Zhanhe didn't even raise his head.

"A group of people came outside, saying they wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince to discuss the future division of the Japanese kingdom..."

The expression on Li Bin's face was very strange, because he really couldn't understand where this group of people had the confidence.

"Huh? Divide?" Li Bin's words made Zhu Zhanhe raise his head.

"At this time, the shogunate and the emperor have been filled in the capital, who else can talk about such a thing?"

"This..." Li Bin scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"They don't know Chinese, and we also captured two Japanese who can speak Chinese to translate. The Japanese said that these people are from the north, what kind of Ezo people are they..."

"Ezo?" Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows.

Speaking of Ezo, he still knows, but...

"not see!"

"Tell them, if they want to eat meat, they can grab it themselves! If they want to share the meat in our bowls! Dream on!"

"Yes!" Li Bin's momentum rose instantly and he left the camp with his head held high.

Ezo are the aborigines of the northernmost island among the four islands of Japan. However, for a long time, Ezo was not a part of Japan. Instead, it stood on the opposite side of Japan.

It was not until the seventeenth century that Ezo became part of the Japanese state.

For Zhu Zhanhe, these were not bad, because he treated the four Japanese islands and the surrounding archipelago equally.

Now that they know that Japan has no emperor and no shogun, Ezo wants to come over and intervene to get a piece of the pie.

If you say that he had contributed to Zhu Zhanhe's conquest of the Japanese country, then Zhu Zhanhe might have considered leaving a whole body for them, so that his body would not be missing like before.

but now?

Give me a break!

But this is good. Originally, Zhu Zhanhe was planning to put all his focus on the Sado Gold Mountain, and he was planning to take care of the Ezo people in Hokkaido until he had free time later.

Now that it's fine, I can tidy it up.

Zhu Zhanhe knew very well that few people could remain calm in the face of huge interests, especially the Ezo people who lived in Hokkaido.

There is a feud between Ezo and Japan. The name Ezo is insulting and can be translated as captured people, so they are also called Ainu.

Now that the Japanese country is in trouble, it is really unjustifiable for them not to intervene.

——

Ying Tianfu.

As soon as the news spread that Zhu Zhanhe had captured the Japanese capital, it caused a huge sensation.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has made many achievements in warfare, and many of them can even be called milestones.

For example, the Battle of Yuerhai, and another example is the Battle of Chenjikuo in Annan.

If we exclude the disastrous defeat of Qiu Fu in the seventh year of Yongle, then the Yongle Dynasty can be regarded as a dynasty with outstanding military achievements.

Of course, it still is, but the fiasco put some stain on these achievements.

But now people no longer pay attention to that, because the victory in the war of annihilation against the Japanese has made people's emotions unprecedentedly high.

Especially along the coast.

The Japanese were said to be destroyed, but everyone knew that this was only in name. In fact, even if Zhu Zhanhe was determined to destroy the Japanese, he would not be able to do it.

The terrain of the Japanese country is complex and there are many mountains. If you want to complete the true eradication of Japan, you can only rely on nuclear peace.

However, even so, the people along the coast are already very happy, because they know that in at least a hundred years, the Japanese country will not have the time or the ability to harass them again.

On the day the news spread, along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, especially in places such as Songjiang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Yangzhou Prefecture, which were often harassed by Japanese pirates, you could almost see floating ghost coins, which were people trying to comfort their relatives.

Yingtian Mansion, Beizhen Fusi, Chao Prison.

Huang Huai leaned against the wall of the prison, digesting the news he had just received.

"Why, are you still dreaming?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded that made Huang Huai look sideways.

Perhaps no one would have thought that the normally aloof cabinet bachelor would now not only be in prison, but also be imprisoned together with Chen Jikuo.

In fact, this is just a coincidence.

Those who had impeached Zhu Zhanhe in the court were all sent to prison, but they were not imprisoned together, but separately.

Huang Huai may be lucky, or he may be unlucky. The single room he was assigned in the imperial prison was right opposite Chen Jikuo.

"There is no shame in losing to him."

Chen Jikuo seemed to enjoy seeing his opponents who defeated him defeat others. In the dark prison, although his expression could not be seen, one could still feel some emotion called joy from his tone.

Maybe, this is the commonality of human beings.

Well, it's a pity that I can't write about certain aspects of "Jumping into Tokyo with a Knife in Hand". Can we link it up so that everyone can watch it instead?
