Chapter 814 Hakata’s Sakura (5)
The "rumbling" sound of horse hooves filled the air, and in the gray-yellow dust, the shadows of black arrows were looming, mixed with the "whooshing" sound of the wind. On the other side of the Japanese cavalry riding ponies, the horses neighed and people shouted.
After a while, a Ming army cavalry here rushed close to the Japanese cavalry. The galloping Ming army horses kept passing by. Facing the slow Japanese horse soldiers, the cherry spears pierced the enemy soldiers' bodies condescendingly. The light of the sword flashed in the hazy air, and there were screams everywhere.
"Hiss..." A Japanese horse was hit by a cavalryman who was too close. The pony was knocked to the ground and struggled on the ground, kicking its hooves desperately in the air. The samurai on the horse had disappeared.
The Ming army's cavalry swept through the Japanese cavalry formation one after another, occasionally beheading some enemy soldiers. More cavalry columns rushed in from

"Clang! Clang..." A gong sounded from the center of the Ming army. The mounted generals on the left wing turned their heads and saw several blue pennants of the center army waving eastward. The generals raised their heads and shouted, "Turn right, retreat!"Each hundred-household team held up a military flag with its number, lined up and ran, moving in two columns toward the square formations in the east.When the Japanese soldiers, gasping with their mouths wide open, ran towards the Ming army formation, the Ming army's phalanx on the edge had already run towards the center. Behind the column, in the diffuse dust, neat rows of muskets were facing west. Three rows of light infantry wearing wide-brimmed iron helmets and cloth armor seemed to have been waiting in line.The faces of the Japanese soldiers who were already about ten or twenty steps ahead could be seen clearly, and many of them had surprised and ominous expressions on their faces.The Japane
Game of the Throne Chapter 816 New Deal East China Sea
By the second day, the battle had long ended, but the Ming army's infantry and cavalry pursuit continued in separate directions. Sheng Yong led his troops towards the main road to the east, but there was no sign of fighting on the road.It started to rain again, the rain was blowing diagonally in the wind, making the view on the plain hazy. After the rain in the morning, this was the second time it had rained today."Heaven is not on Japan's side." Sheng Yong looked up at the raindrops and sighed with a complicated expression.Usually, warring armies are reluctant to fight on rainy days. Firearms cannot be fired when exposed to rain, and even crossbows will become debonded and damaged when exposed to rain. In addition, the ground will become muddy due to rain, making it difficult to march and mobilize, so major battles are often fought on sunny days.But for armies like the Ming and Japanese armies, the situation is different. The Ming army is obviousl

When Sheng Yong's memorial reached the capital, it was less than two months before the government troops to fight against Japan left Hong Kong.In Rouyi Hall, Zhu Gaoxu was personally reading the memorial of more than ten thousand words, and he was in a very good mood.(Your Majesty rules the universe, and his grace and power are spread all over the world. He has drawn up the outlines and governed all the countries. When he was the governor of Annan, some people made irresponsible comments in the court and the public...) Your Majesty rules the universe, and he has both grace and power over all the countries. He has designed the general principles and made all the countries have norms and laws. When the Jiaozhi Provincial Administration was abolished and the Governor's Office was established, some people made unauthorized comments inside and outside the court, criticizing Your Majesty for giving up the land.However, the rebellion in Annan was soon quelled, a
Game of the Throne Chapter 818: Etiquette
In May of the third year of Wude, the weather in the capital became increasingly hot.In addition to Zhu Gaoxu receiving the good news about the battle at Bodo Bay, a few days later, the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital came to the palace to diagnose the pulse and reported that both the concubine Xian and the concubine Shu had a happy pulse. The ministers in the court always said some words of congratulations while meeting the saint. Each of them only spoke once, but Zhu Gaoxu had to listen to it many times, and eventually he got a little bored.The situation is becoming increasingly stable. The content of Sheng Yong's memorial shows that there is no need to expand the war, which is consistent with the views of the court officials. Zhu Gaoxu already has two sons, and the imperial concubine is pregnant. More princes can also stabilize people's hearts.Zhu Gaoxu's walking pace was also brisker than usual. The entourage who followed him out of the mai
Game of the Throne Chapter 819 The Fallen City
In the city of Chikuzen Kunisuya County, groups of heavy infantrymen of the Ming Army were marching in formation, not moving very fast. On the seemingly deserted road, the neat footsteps of the Ming army came and went one after another, making a lot of noise.The soldiers' uniforms and armors are complete, and such attire is incomparable even in Japan and among the samurai class. The sparse passers-by who couldn't tell the situation suddenly encountered such a group of people, knelt down on the roadside to avoid the way, not daring to come forward to provoke them.The Ming army did not arrest the samurai officials in the city; so Ouchi Sheng did not make any mistakes and did not go to see Yao Fang without permission.He stood some distance away from the road, silently watching the Ming army's appearance, thinking about something without saying a word.Ouchi Katsu did not participate in the great battle that took place in the Hakata area. He and some sa
Game of the Throne Chapter 820: Summer Cicadas
Before Liu Ming arrived in Kyoto, Muromachi-dono had already received the letter from the Ming army, and the contents of the letter were also known to Muromachi-dono and his subordinates.More than a month passed, but Ashikaga Yoshimochi and others did not respond. It was because they were in a dilemma and had no choice.In June, the Sanjo-bo residence was lush with vegetation. The chirping of cicadas and summer insects seemed to reflect Ashikaga Yoshimochi's state of mind. Even if he closed the door to visitors, he could not find a moment of peace.The sun has already set, but it will be even more lively in the evening. Perhaps only in the second half of the night will there be no disturbance here.Ashikaga Yoshimochi sat on the observation deck in the backyard, gazing at the clouds in the sky, the houses and the plants for a long time, attempting to comprehend a solution from Neo-Confucianism, psychology, or Zen Buddhism, but it seemed all in vain.
Game of the Throne Chapter 821 Peace Treaty
Muromachi finally agreed to the peace proposal. The two sides decided to sign the treaty in Yamashiro Province in the "Kinai" area and hold a ceremony to enthrone the Japanese king.The Ming Empire seemed to have already decided to do this, and they were well prepared. Liu Ming, the Ming envoy, claimed that they only needed to wait a few days and send someone back to Hakata Bay to invite Zhou Quan, the "official envoy to Japan," to hold the ceremony. This was because the gold book and seal of Japan were in the hands of the eunuch Zhou Quan.After some preparations, both sides led their troops to Yamashiro Province, which was located south of Kyoto, and the ceremony took place in front of Ishiki Hachimangu Shrine.Outside the shrine, a camp-like area was formed with silk cloth. There was a platform on the top, and the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi was on the platform. Below, officials from the Ming Dynasty delegation and Japanese civil and military nobles from t
Game of the Throne Chapter 822 The Hidden Truth
Eunuch Zhou Quan and a large group of people have left Yamashiro Province and are at the Yodogawa Pier in Naniwa-kyo.The Muromachi-dono Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimochi, was assassinated. When the news was being passed to the Kinki countries, someone came to tell the Ming envoys. The situation suddenly became tense. In addition to the eunuchs and civil officials in the delegation, the guards were of a lower rank, so several civil officials and eunuchs discussed countermeasures at the dock.There seemed to be some debate among the delegation members about what to do next.Everyone did not board the ship immediately and leave this dangerous place; the reason was that the person who came to reveal the news was the envoy of Uesugi Zenhide, a retainer of the Kanto Kanrei who had taken the lead in contacting the Ming army last time.But the guarding general didn't care about that. He did not participate in military decision-making and was busy performing his own
