The Genpei War that broke out in advance in Japan did not affect the whole country at all. It was just the Gyeonggi Samurai Group facing off against the Eastern Samurai Group.
A large number of Western warriors did not join the war, and all of them were watching the show.
For example, Heitadaka of Bungo Kingdom on Kyushu Island was too lazy to send troops to help his family.
Historically, Ping Zhongguo even married his daughter to Yuan Weichao, indirectly competing with the Ping family.
Taira Kiyomori did learn real skills in the Ming Dynasty, but his troops were too few, and the army's combat effectiveness was low. In the face of absolute strength, no advanced strategies and tactics could be used, and the garbage army could not effectively execute tactics.
Finally, Daming’s father came.
Five hundred Ming Dynasty cavalry, fifteen hundred Ming Dynasty infantry.
At this time, the Genji army had occupied the entire Kanto region. Under repeated fierce attacks, some of the Taira defenders who could not break through the pass defected to help the Genji conquer the pass.
Without breaking through the pass and losing the defense, the Genji army marched straight in and was about to reach the capital.
Under the guidance of Taira's guide, the elite of the Ming Dynasty landed in Ise on a battleship, and divine soldiers appeared at the rear of the Genji South Road army like heaven.
The Genji South Route Army, which was storming Suzuka Pass, was attacked by the soldiers guarding the pass and the Ming army. They lost their armor and armor and retreated for more than a hundred miles.
As for the Genji Northern Route Army that had reached the Gyeonggi area, it suddenly became a lone army and penetrated deeply. Even the food routes were cut off by the Ming army.
The Ming Dynasty’s aid to Japan version of the “Incheon Landing”!
Well, it should be called Ise Landing.
"The little ministers of the vassal state, please pay homage to the general of the Celestial Dynasty!"
Outside Ping'an, Ping Qingsheng and his son took the ministers ten miles out of the city to welcome the Ming soldiers' triumphant return, and also invited Xue Daoguang to help support the scene.
Xu Liangyou was riding on a tall horse, glaring at the group of dwarf monkeys in front of him, not even bothering to dismount and speak.
His father is Xu Ning, Yang Zhi’s old brother.
He himself went to the military academy at the age of fifteen and was the first graduate of the Kaifeng Military Academy. He joined the army as a grassroots officer at the age of seventeen and participated in the battles to exterminate the Jin Dynasty and Xixia.
Two years ago, his father Xu Ning died of illness, and Xu Liangyou was demoted to inherit the title.
How can such a noble disciple look down on the people of Japan?
However, there was one person who did not kneel at the scene. He was an old Taoist priest with an immortal demeanor.
Perhaps realizing who this person was, Xu Liangyou finally got off his horse, took two steps forward and handed over his hands: "But is it in front of Mr. Xue?"
Xue Daoguang bowed as a Taoist priest and said: "I have seen the general."
How dare Xu Liangyou make a mistake? He quickly said: "Junior Xu Liangyou, my father, Xu Shiding Tao Gong."
Dingtaogong was the county duke, the title held by Xu Ning when he was still alive.
The title Xu Liangyou has now inherited has been downgraded to Marquis of Dingtao.
The two began to reminisce about old times, completely ignoring the Japanese ministers.
Those Japanese ministers did not dare to say anything. They knelt on the spot and at the same time became even more "admired" for Xue Daoguang.
The fighting power of the Ming army was so strong that it only took seventeen days from landing in Ise to wiping out the enemy forces. Such a devastating attack frightened all the Japanese ministers, fearing that the Ming general would plunder his troops.
Heian Kyo.
Ping Qingmori secretly rejoiced that the stronger the Ming army was, the more stable he would be.
Moreover, General Xu's attitude was indifferent. Fortunately, he was prepared and invited Xue Shenxian to close the relationship.
"Are you Ping Qingmori?" Xu Liangyou glanced over.
Taira Kiyomori knelt down and said, "That's the minister."
Xu Liangyou nodded and said: "Get up and talk. You have been studying in the Ming Dynasty for several years, so you are probably a civilized person who understands etiquette."
"Thank you, General!"
Taira Kiyomori was very proud of himself, and he also thought that he was a civilized person.
Xu Liangyou said: "Looking for a place in the suburbs, my soldiers will camp."
As soon as these words came out, several young officials who had studied in the Ming Dynasty were extremely happy to flatter them: "Without entering the city without entering, the military discipline is so strict, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are really benevolent and righteous troops!"
Xu Liangyou smiled and said to Ping Qingsheng: "Find some prostitutes and send them to the military camp. Their teeth should not be too black. My soldiers will stay here for another month or two to help you calm down what may happen next.
of rebellion.”
Taira Kiyomori quickly said: "Since the Ming Dynasty spread eastward, fewer and fewer nobles in Japan have dyed their teeth. Especially young men and women, dyeing their teeth is considered an uncivilized bad custom."
This sentence is half true and half false. It is true that fewer Japanese nobles dye their teeth, but there are still many who insist on dyeing their teeth.
The crowd gathered around Xu Liangyou and headed to the city, while Ping Qingsheng sent people to arrange the army garrison.
Two thousand Ming Dynasty elites were stationed outside Ping An Jing, and there were also naval soldiers and sailors at the port.
Japanese merchants saw that the Ming army did not loot, so they took the lead and came to ask if they needed daily necessities. The place where the navy and army were stationed was soon full of merchants, bringing in various daily necessities for sale.
All kinds of coins of the Ming Dynasty can be passed here without hindrance.
There was no need for Ping Qianmori to arrange it. The brothel also came to inquire about the news and tried to send some prostitutes to see if the Ming army officers would give money.
Even the daughters-in-law and daughters of civilian families were sent to military camps by their elders to make money by selling meat and "breeding" at the same time. Because in their eyes, the soldiers of the Ming Army were all tall and powerful, and the children they gave birth to would definitely be burly.
.
Nobles and businessmen are much more reserved.
Military discipline must still be maintained. The Ming soldiers stationed here cannot go shopping or whoring in a swarm. They are on duty at the military camp as normal every day, and then go out in batches in turns. Special areas are also set up to deal with physiological needs.
Such strict military discipline astonished the Japanese people, and they all praised him as a great tomorrow's soldier, much cuter than those arrogant and domineering samurai.
Military-civilian exchanges are extremely harmonious.
The next day, Xu Liangyou was invited to watch a play. Taira Kiyomori wanted to execute senior prisoners of war. Especially the head of the Genji family, Taira Kiyomori planned to kill them all.
Seeing that there were children, Xu Liangyou frowned and said, "Children are not necessary, right? I can take away those under twelve years old."
Taira Kiyomori was startled: "Where are you taking the general?"
Xu Liangyou smiled and said: "The place you ceded."
Taira Kiyomori was furious when he heard this, but he still had to smile.
Bringing the children of the Genji family to the Kyushu Island ceded to the Ming Dynasty to raise them, how can he feel at ease when each of them has a blood feud?
"What? You don't want to?" Xu Liangyou asked.
Taira Kiyomori quickly said: "The general is compassionate and cannot bear to kill children. I admire him very much."
As a result, all the children of the Genji family under the age of twelve were untied and brought to Xu Liangyou.
Xu Liangyou looked at a boy and said in surprise: "You are not yet twelve years old? Even if you were born in Ming Dynasty, you are not short."
Taira Kiyomori introduced: "This is the eighth son of Yuan Weiyi, born to a lowly prostitute."
The child in front of me was only half a year old before he turned 12. He was the "Zhenxi Hachiro" in Japanese history, who was praised by people at the time as "the unparalleled master of bows and arrows in our dynasty".
Yuan Weichao was bullied by his brothers since he was a child because he was born into a prostitute. But he was tall and strong, and had extremely long wingspan. Whenever his brothers insulted him, he would catch them and beat them up.
Historically, he became an outcast in the Minamoto family, and was thrown to Kyushu Island by his father at the age of 13. This young man made cronies on Kyushu Island, proclaimed himself the "Chief Envoy of Zhenxi", and led a group of country warriors to defeat Kyushu.
Various wealthy families provoked the emperor to issue arrest warrants for them.
Later, during the Homoto Rebellion, he sided with his father and fought against his elder brother. With the army at an absolute disadvantage, Minamoto turned the situation around with one man and one bow, and forced Taira Kiyomori and Minamoto no Yoshi to retreat by shooting a large number of samurai.
North Korean coalition forces.
Later, he was defeated and captured, and was exiled to an island after having his hand tendons cut off.
This didn't stop, after he recovered from his injuries, Minamoto led an army against the Japanese court on the island where he was exiled. He led the surrounding wealthy families of the seven islands to fight against the Japanese court. Unfortunately, he was defeated and committed suicide. It is said that he was the first person in Japan to commit seppuku.
His son later also rebelled.
Xu Liangyou called for an interpreter and asked, "Can you learn martial arts?"
Yuan Weichao replied: "I know how to ride a horse, shoot an arrow, and use a sword. All the brothers in the family, except for the eldest brother who has been away since childhood, were beaten by me until they could not fight back. Even those who are adults can't beat me. I am taller than them."
, more powerful.”
Less than twelve years old, he is already taller than an adult Japanese man...
"Is your mother a prostitute?" Xu Liangyou asked.
