Chapter Fifty-fifth

When Ashigaru General Shimizu Oishi saw the crossbowmen hidden everywhere, he couldn't help but screamed in his heart.

The crossbow is a powerful weapon in the army. There were also powerful crossbows before the Japanese Kingdom.

It's just that the construction of the crossbow machine is complicated and requires a lot of materials. The Japanese country is humid, which greatly corrodes the crossbow machine, and the materials on the island are poor, making it difficult to maintain a crossbow army. Crossbows are limited to personal playthings and have not been promoted in the military.

Qingshui Dashi still understood the power of the strong crossbow.

But he couldn't do anything, everything happened too fast.

The charging soldiers are all on the boat. How can the small moving distance be compared to the crossbow bolts that are faster than arrows?

Qingmizu Oishi had no choice but to watch helplessly as his front part was being shot so hard that he fell over his feet.

"Fortunately, it's just peasant soldiers!"

Shimizu Oishi muttered to himself, compared to the regular Ashigaru, farmers and soldiers have always acted as cannon fodder.

But just as this thought flashed through his mind, what happened next left him dumbfounded and at a loss.

After the soldiers on the opposite side fired their crossbows, they did not fire a second round of shooting. Instead, they drew out their straight swords and boarded the canoe at the port, charging towards them.

Qingshui Dashi reacted instantly and exclaimed: "You are not allowed to retreat, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Before his order could be conveyed, the Ashigaru warriors who were following him were beaten to pieces by his own people.

Some boats collided with each other and even rolled over.

Peasants and samurai ashigaru fluttered in the water like ducks.

Lu Jiang looked at the battlefield with bright eyes and shouted: "Bite them and don't let up!"

In fact, there was no need for him to give any special orders. Each squad of soldiers had already launched a counterattack under the leadership of their respective ten generals.

The Donghai Navy of Dayu originated from the Central Plains Navy and was established in the Later Zhou Dynasty. The soldiers were all brave men with rich experience in water warfare and boating.

The grasp of fighter opportunities and the execution of orders have long been developed into an instinct.

After the opponent was defeated, the soldiers all fought bravely to take the lead. Driven by them, the boat rushed towards the fleeing Japanese peasant soldiers with arrows from the string.

The warriors standing at the bow of the boat slashed the Japanese soldiers in the water with their swords, but they were not reluctant to fight, but just harvested them casually. They shouted to each other, followed the Japanese soldiers who fled in the boat, and rushed into the samurai ashigaru who were pressing behind.

The brave soldiers of the Donghai Navy took advantage of the opponent's turmoil and waved their butcher knives mercilessly.

Qingshui Dashi raised his sword high and slashed three of his own people who were in confusion, shouting: "Hold on!"

But all to no avail...

The well-trained samurai ashigaru could barely obey orders under such circumstances, but once the peasants and soldiers lost their fighting spirit, even the nine-headed oxen could not pull them back.

Their chaos also affected the Ashigaru of the Wu family who were originally able to obey orders, making them increasingly chaotic and unable to form an effective confrontation. Even Shimizu Oishi himself was forced to retreat.

Those shouting for killing on the sea are all soldiers of the Donghai Navy!!!

Fujiwara Shisuke, who was watching this scene from a distance, turned pale, scolded Ono Yoshiko for being a waste, and shouted to the herald beside him: "Tell Onohashi Furu, the Ono family's reputation has been trampled under his feet."

Yuan Wan, who was standing behind Yuan Manzhong, looked at the tragic scene in the distance with a horrified expression. He glanced at Yuan Manzhong in front of him, thinking about him pulling her up, and whispered: "Master Manzhong already knew?

"

Yuan Manzhong shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice: "No. It's just that I saw that the opponent's coastal defense line is very organized. I can't believe that a small country that has not been at war for more than two hundred years can set up its defense line so neatly. Some

Just doubts, not sure."

He glanced left and right and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he whispered: "This island is our only escape route. No matter what, we must let people try it. I just didn't expect that the power of Yu State's crossbows is so terrifying!"

He looked ahead with lingering fear, his brows knitted together.

At the same time, Yoshiko Ono also received a message from Shisuke Fujiwara.

"The Ono family's reputation has been trampled under his feet!"

This simple sentence made Ono's heart burn with anger and shame, and he burst into tears.

The Ono family was born in the Ono noble family of Shiga County, Omi. Their ancestors had numerous important ministers of the Japanese state, among whom the most famous one was the Ono family.

Wild girl.

Ono Meizi was the first person to lead a Japanese diplomatic mission to visit Xia. At that time, the Central Plains was still the Sui Dynasty. Ono Meizi visited the Sui Dynasty twice, which started the comprehensive absorption of Chinese culture. Thousands of years later, Japanese historians said that this period

The Japanese nation greedily absorbed the advanced civilizations of Korea and China like a baby seeking mother's milk, and entered the civilized stage from the barbaric stage.

Onoya occupies a pivotal position in the entire history of the development of Japan.

When Ono heard that his ancestors had been humiliated, he didn't know where he got the courage. He jumped on the bow and shouted: "The thieves are only a few hundred, we have outnumbered them multiple times, and let them be so humiliated. How can our family name survive? For Ono

Every family name will last forever, follow me to kill thieves..."

As a century-old wealthy family, the Ono family has nurtured scholars for hundreds of years.

Many ronin samurai relied on the Ono family for their survival.

Seeing Ono's behavior, many warriors shouted loudly and rushed forward.

But at this moment, the sound of a golden gong sounded from the other side.

Lu Jiang did not give Ono Yoshigu a chance to show off. Before the opponent officially entered the battlefield, he saw the opponent's intentions through the telescope and ordered him to call the gold.

The Donghai navy rushed swiftly and retreated without any sloppiness.

As soon as the golden gong sounded, the helmsman began to row the oars backwards, and the soldiers who were originally attacking at the bow also switched from attacking to defending, following military orders first.

The transition from offense to defense was completed in a few breaths, allowing Ono Yoshiko to gather his strength and punch like cotton.

Fu Kun had opened his mouth wide since Donghai Navy fired the crossbow, and he had been calmly withdrawing it now. Only then did he wake up. He wanted to speak but found that his mouth had been open for a long time and was a little stiff. He made a "knot" sound and his bones were grinding.

The sound made him cry out in pain.

"The heavenly generals, the heavenly soldiers of the heavenly dynasty are so powerful, the country of Tamluo can be saved, haha..."

Fu Kun pulled Lu Jiang, as excited as a child.

Lu Jiang is confident and enigmatic. With his white beard and hair, he really looks like a master.

Andong Mansion!

As the cultural capital of Goryeo, Andong has always played an important role in the history of Goryeo.

From the Unified Silla period to the Goryeo period, Andong was a big cultural dyeing vat, with Buddhism, Taoism, and Shamanism. Buddhism was also divided into Jogye sect, Um sect, Cheondae Shuzi sect, Cheondae Boshi sect, Jongji sect, Domun sect, and Ci'eun sect.

etc.

Goryeo's own national culture is lacking, and most of them came from the Central Plains and Northeast China. Various mixed things collided with each other, forming a unique culture. There is a little bit of everything, but it is like four different things, and most of them have lost their original characteristics.

soul.

Andong is the source of this culture and the area where Goryeo's literary style flourishes most.

The people of Andong have always regarded themselves very highly and believe that they are the most cultured among the people around Haidong. They don't even think highly of their own countrymen, and they even look down on the Japanese barbarians.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese barbarians captured Andong as soon as they entered the island. Andong was deeply humiliated, so the first fire of the rebel army was lit in Andong.

At this moment, Li Xingyou put his hand on his forehead, listening to the noise below, and suddenly felt a headache.

Li Xingyou became the leader of the rebel army not of his own free will, but on the recommendation of the rebel army.

Li Xingyou was born into a famous family in Goryeo. For several generations, his family had been married to another wealthy family in Goryeo, the Kim family, and he had a pivotal position in Goryeo.

Ri Heung-woo himself loved literature and was one of the few Confucian masters in Goryeo. He was well received in Andong, a place where literary style flourished.

Anton's rebel army killed Japanese officials and gathered a group of people to fight against the Japanese because the common people Hu Mo could not make a living.

However, Hu Mo was the one who forced the common people to go up to Liangshan. The uprising was successful and the Japanese pirates were driven away. Then a group of common people who had suffered from the Japanese pirates for a long time fell in love with each other and became one of the most popular insurrectionary armies.

But Hu Mo is a farmer. The more power he has in his hands, the less he knows what he should do. How to use this power reasonably?

So in the end, he was blinded by the power in his hands, made frequent mistakes, and became the second Japanese pirate. He began to cause harm to the village and even slept with his best friend's wife.

In the end, there was an internal betrayal, and Hu Mo was killed by his brother who had started the rebellion together.

As a result, the huge rebel army was leaderless, either afraid to take power, or dissatisfied with each other.

So a group of people worked together to push Li Xingyou out.

Li Xingyou was a puppet at first, but after all he came from a famous family, had connections, means, talents and money.

By clearing up the upper and lower ranks and arranging his cronies in key positions, he easily took control of the rebel army.

Li Xingyou, a scholar, was born with no ambition to be an emperor. He only wanted to appease the countryside, find a Ming master to rely on, and add capital to his family.

Until recently, Li Xingyou received news from three parties respectively.

Wang Min, the crown prince of Goryeo, Jin Xingbo, a powerful man in Dongzhou, and Xunzhi, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites of the Central Plains.

He Liang said loudly: "The prince is the orthodox king of Goryeo. Sir, we should support the prince. Jin Xingbo recommended a six or seven-year-old boy. He is obviously planning to rebel. He is a rebellious minister and a thief who can be killed by everyone."

He Liang was one of the veterans who followed Hu Mo's uprising. He was a farmhand. He had studied with his master for several years and knew some principles.

In order to strengthen his royal power, Wang Zhao, the king of Goryeo, offended many nobles and nobles, but he was deeply loved by the people.

Because he promulgated the "Slave Prosecution Law", he liberated good people who were illegally taken as slaves by wealthy families and protected the rights of slaves.

This move was supported by a large number of people.

He Liang naturally turned towards Wang Zhao's son, Wang Min, the crown prince of Korea.

As soon as He Liang said this, he was immediately refuted.

The person who retorted was Li Yu, a member of Li Xingyou’s clan.

The Lee family of Goryeo and the Jin family of Dongzhou, the former is a century-old prominent family in Haedong, while the latter is a founding figure.

The Jin family of Dongzhou is not the Jin family of Jin Yuxin, the famous Haidong family that Li married. When Wang Jian, the great ancestor of Goryeo, usurped the throne, Jin Xingbo had made great contributions to the dragon. In order to commend his contribution, Wang Jian gave his surname Jin, promoted him to the nobility of Goryeo, and also

He adopted his two daughters. Jin Xingbo himself also married the daughter of Huangfu, a descendant of Goryeo, and became one of the nobles of Goryeo.

Wang Zhao suppressed nobles no less than the powerful families.

Jin Xingbo was forced to retire three years ago and pretended to be ill in his hometown to survive.

The Lee family of Goryeo and the Jin family of Dongzhou all share the same fate.

Although the crown prince Wang Nian is not Wang Zhao, the person who prompted Wang Zhao to suppress the powerful nobles was his wife Shuangji. And the person Wang Nian trusted the most was also his wife...

Li Yu said unceremoniously: "The disaster we have today in Goryeo is all caused by the late king's heavy use of the throne. If the late king had not listened to the slander and unreasonably suppressed our noble and powerful families, just Japanese bandits and barbarians would have the courage to invade our territory."

?As long as I, the Li family, still hold the military power, when the Japanese bandits step into Andong, it will be the day of their defeat. The thieves have double hopes in front of them, and there is no guarantee that Chen Chuyao will not become the second double hope. I, Korea, cannot afford to gamble.

For a long-term plan, the only way to benefit the country and the people is to serve Mr. Ning."

Kai Ningjun is talking about the young master of Jin Xingbo Zun, the grandson of Goryeo Taizu Wang Jian and the second son of Dai Zong Wang Xu, who was granted the title of Kaining Jun.

Both sides had their own interests and the quarrel was intense.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now!"

Li Xingyou's head was about to explode as he listened to both sides talking to each other. He stopped the two sides who were about to take action and said, "Let's talk about the affairs of the Celestial Dynasty first. Xun Zhi is still waiting for a reply."

He Liang said without hesitation: "There is no hesitation in this. If the Celestial Empire had not sent troops to control Tsushima Island and drive back the Japanese pirates, our country, Goryeo, would have been in danger of annihilation. Borrowing a port does not require this condition.

If you agree, it would be too much to repay a favor with a grudge."

Li Yu doesn't speak, and not speaking means acquiescing.

Pan Zhe said: "Although the Goryeo Japanese pirates have escaped now, there are still more terrifying Khitans in the north. If there is no help from the Celestial Empire, who will be the opponent of the Khitan? I, Goryeo, want to restore our country, and we cannot do without the support of the Celestial Empire."

Li Xingyou frowned, obviously not satisfied with these answers.

"Everyone, go down and let me think about it alone!" Li Xingyou sighed again and waved his hand feebly.

Everyone was startled at first, but then retreated one after another.

Li Xingyou was about to get up when he saw a man standing motionless on His Highness and said, "Does General Kang have something important?"

Your Highness's name is Kang Zhao. He was originally from a wealthy family in Baekje. His family moved to Andong. After he became the leader, he came to seek refuge.

Li Xingyou was deeply impressed by him.

Kang Zhao bowed and said: "My lord, I don't know how to make twists and turns, but I know the art of war. It is the most important thing for the Heavenly Dynasty to cut off the food route of the Japanese country."

A clever use of troops. But the reaction of the Japanese pirates is arousing suspicion. This way of retreat has been cut off, so we should recapture it. In the Japanese country of Kyushu, I will move towards Donglai and attack Tsushima Island from front to back. It may not be impossible to win. Even if it is not possible to win,

, it is not possible to escape directly, so the final general will suspect that something happened on Kyushu Island in the Japanese country, which made the Japanese country not dare to go south to attack Tsushima Island."

Li Xingyou's expression suddenly changed. He was paranoid and feared that the Central Plains would invade Guo by false means. However, if the Central Plains invaded the Japanese islands, it would mean that the Central Plains came for the land.

If we can have Washima, why can’t we have Haidong Peninsula?

Just when he was frightened, a piece of news came: Jin Xingbo had recaptured Kaijing and Jiang Gongzhen's troops attacked Pingzhou. All members of the Jin family except Jin Xingbo were killed.

Jin Xingbo turns 80 this year, is his family exterminated?

A trace of disbelief flashed in Li Xingyou's eyes
