Yuezhou Governor's Office, Yuezhou Xuanfu Division, and Yuezhou Governor's Office submitted to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet:
In the spring of the fifth year of Yong'an, Prince Naruhito, the bandit leader of the Japanese nation, led more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers to circumambulate Siming from the Japanese island with the intention of invading our country. Siming naval commander Liu Renxi led his troops to resist, but they were outnumbered.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty, including General Liu, was martyred.
Siming Port fell immediately.
The counties, cities and counties are in danger.
In this autumn, when life is at stake, there are righteous citizens, Li Taibai, Mo Guanlan, and Lang Fanyun. They hold swords to protect the country. They fight to the death on the bank of the East China Sea. The ocean is full of blood. They finally defeat the Japanese pirates and capture the enemy chief alive.
Prince Naruhito of Japan.
…
The governor's office of Yuezhou, the Xuanfu Department of Yuezhou, and the governor's office of Yuezhou jointly submit a submission to the Ministry of War, the cabinet, the emperor, and their officials, and bow their heads before paying homage!
…
After reading this urgent official document from Yuezhou, Li Chengguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, felt a little down.
What the hell?!
When watching the first half, Li Chengguang felt completely bad!
To the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Japanese Japanese pirates were just a scabies disease. Although they occasionally harassed neighboring countries, they were still a small country and could not really threaten the Kingdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, the defense against Japan is not like that in the north.
The southern border is guarded by the Longwu Army, the western region is overseen by the Shence Army, the northern border is guarded by the Longwu Army, and the Tiance Army guards the outside world. Only the eastern coast is not even qualified to have a separate title for the Sixth Army of the Emperor.
Even the newly formed Zhen Haijun force established by Qi Yuanjing specifically to deal with Japanese pirates could not be compared with the Sixth Army of the Emperor in terms of level. It was at best equivalent to the border troops of the four borders.
It can also be seen from this that the Zhou Dynasty's contempt for Japan, and even its recent defenses, were gradually strengthened under Yang Qingyuan's support.
But such a small country almost caused great trouble to Zhou Dynasty this time.
If the Japanese army of 50,000 were really allowed to land at Siming and march north to Qiantang, it would be like a stab in the waist of Zhou Dynasty.
If it were a normal day, there would be no problem in mobilizing the Longwu Army to encircle and suppress them. Although wars would break out in Yuezhou for the time being, within a few months, the chaos would be over.
But what is the situation now?!
King Zhao raised an army to rebel. Although both sides had victories and defeats, the newly built elite Pingjing army of the Zhou Dynasty was almost completely wiped out. King Zhao's power was spreading to Qing, Qi, Xu, and all around.
Dazhou could only defend with all its strength, waiting for the deployment of troops and horses, and then fight against the rebels of King Zhao Zhu Kai.
The situation on the western front and southern Xinjiang is not optimistic either.
It seemed that they had discussed it with Zhao Wang Zhu Kai, and they started things at almost the same time.
Among the thirty-six countries in the Western Region, the stronger countries gathered into a coalition to fight against the Shence Army.
Southern Xinjiang is also experiencing constant turmoil.
If there is a loss in the East China Sea, Zhou Dynasty will not be able to mobilize enough troops to deal with these Japanese Japanese pirates.
However, it's pretty good, there's nothing serious about Yuezhou.
But this idea only remained in Li Chengguang's mind for a moment, and was then replaced by strong doubts and disbelief.
He did not believe that his own eyes could see such a ridiculous report, nor did he believe that the Third Division of Yuezhou could write such an outrageous official document, nor did he believe that there were really three people who could defeat the tens of thousands of Japanese troops with three swords.
Do they think this is a Jianghu storybook?! Or a novel about the end of the Tang Dynasty?! They think it’s the reincarnation of Li Yuanba!
Three people for 50,000?!
Just when Li Chengguang was about to question, the clerk on the side presented him with a brocade box.
"Sir, this is the brocade box sent by Yuezhou together with the letter."
Li Chengguang glanced at the long brocade box, then motioned for it to be placed on the table and opened.
Among them is a Japanese Japanese sword. The decorative decoration of this sword is engraved with the family emblem of the Japanese royal family, "Sixteen petals and eight layers of chrysanthemum".
Although Li Chengguang is not as knowledgeable as Yang Qingyuan, he can immediately recognize this knife and the patterns on it.
There is also such a sword in the Ministry of War's inventory.
This is the emperor's sword that Japan paid tribute to during the period of Emperor Taizu Gao. I would like to use this sword to congratulate the great emperor of the Great Zhou Empire for a long time to come!
Although Emperor Taizu Gao was not happy with the Japanese kingdom, due to their surrender, he also went ahead with the canonization and accepted the sword.
Later, it was presented to the then Minister of War, Xu Tiande, King of Zhongshan.
Although it was a sword worn by the royal family of a small country, Xu Tiande's character would not wear it without permission. Instead, he chose to leave it in the treasure house of the Ministry of War when he resigned as Minister of War.
"Send the message to Wai Lang, the director of the arsenal, and ask him to immediately bring out the Japanese sword given by Emperor Taizu Gao from the treasury."
Whether it is true or false, you will know after comparing it!
The method of forging swords in Japan was learned from the Pre-Tang Dynasty, and is completely different from the method of forging swords currently used in the Zhou Dynasty.
Although it is said that it is taking out a knife from the arsenal, it is actually a troublesome matter.
This sword was a gift from Emperor Taizu Gao. Once things got involved with him, etiquette matters would be very troublesome.
After some complicated etiquette, the Japanese sword was placed on Li Chengguang's desk.
After cleansing his hands and burning incense, Li Chengguang and the two ministers began to compare the swords.
Whether it is the accessories on the knife or the patterns on the blade, they are both the same.
"Sir, I believe that these two swords should be made by the same craftsman." Yu Dawei, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who spoke. Although he was a scholar, he had been responsible for the management of the generals and the casting of weapons.
Quite insightful.
His vision can still be trusted!
Li Chengguang was thoughtful when he heard this. If this knife is real, then the official document sent from Yuezhou is also real?!
Li Chengguang is not a martial arts practitioner. Although he has martial arts skills, he still cannot understand the record of three people breaking 50,000.
However, he is not a self-righteous person. There are many experts in the palace. Maybe someone can explain it to the cabinet and the emperor.
Li Chengguang then took the seized sword and this official document and went to the Daming Palace.
…
"Your Majesty, although this official document from Yuezhou is ridiculous, I have already verified that the seized sword is the same as the sword of the Japanese king presented by Japan." Li Chengguang did not express his own opinion, but simply summarized the existing facts.
Once it was reported to the emperor, it was reported to his colleagues.
After reading Li Chengguang's report, the young Emperor Linde on the dragon throne showed a hint of joy on his face.
"Li Qing, this is probably true!"
"Your Majesty, why are you so sure?!" Wang Hua, the great scholar of Zhongji Palace, believed what the emperor said, but he didn't know the reason.
"Your Majesty's words are true!" Qian Muqian, who has always been the mascot, said.
At this moment, he is no longer a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, but a grand master, ranking among the three nobles.
He was originally raised in his hometown in Qiantang, but due to the compilation of the classics, he returned to the capital again.
"Everyone, although I am a scholar, I am also proficient in martial arts." Qian Muqian was habitually modest.
Mastery is equal to the realm of Dharma, Heaven, Phantasm and Earth...
"If it is really Li Taibai, Mo Guanlan, and Lang Fanyun who join forces, they may really have the strength to defeat the Japanese army!"
