The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

"What did you say?"

"You want to mobilize troops to capture the Japanese envoy?"

Inside the Qianqing Palace, the little emperor's face was filled with confusion.

It's not normal. Why are you so crazy all of a sudden?

"Savage, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

"Then the Japanese people are here to pay tribute. Why are you arresting them?"

Tang Hao looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty does not know anything. Just now, Cai Chen, An Guo, Tang Mu and others were having dinner in a restaurant. As a result, the Japanese deputy envoy Ouchi Hongzhen and eleven warriors wanted to assassinate Wei. minister!"

Lei Xiong nodded and said in a deep voice: "My humble position is a military household in Dengzhou Camp, Shandong. I have known since I was a child that these Japanese bastards invaded and harassed our coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, so I only have murderous intentions towards them!"

"Practice well!"

Well, he was one rank lower than Li Shiqun, the chief secretary of Honglu Temple. He was an out-and-out low-level official.

The same was true in the Ming Dynasty. The Huitong Pavilion was set up to connect surrounding ethnic minorities and foreign envoys. The Huitong Pavilion took care of the tribute envoys in terms of food, drink, clothing, and housing.

In fact, Japanese pirates have invaded the Central Plains and harassed the coastal areas of the Central Plains since the Yuan Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty established some garrison posts in Shandong Province specifically responsible for coastal defense, such as Dengzhou Camp, Jimo Camp, etc. There were two major military agencies, Shandong Dusi and Shandong Beiwa Dusi, each responsible for different wars.

It is true that the deployment of troops requires imperial edicts and fire cards, as well as the approval of the cabinet and the Ministry of War.

Zhongshan Hou's punch really shattered the good image that Ming Dynasty had accumulated!

After he left, Chen Kuan, who had witnessed everything, spoke in a low voice.

When Tang Hao rushed to the Huitong Hall on horseback, Tang Mu had already led his troops to surround the entire Huitong Hall. A large number of foreign envoys looked at the scene with horror on their faces, wondering why the Ming court suddenly went crazy. .

However, since it is what Tang Hao wants to do, Zhu Houzhao will support it unconditionally!

Therefore, when Liu Kai and Zhang Sheng asked the young emperor to stop the Marquis of Zhongshan from deploying troops, Zhu Houzhao spread his hands with an innocent face.

This Japanese country was previously under the Muromachi shogunate, that is, during the Ashikaga shogunate era. The emperor was a mascot, and the real power was in the hands of the Ashikaga shogunate. The ruler was the shogunate general who conquered barbarians.

Tang Hao looked slightly moved when he heard this.

Tang Hao then showed a warm smile.

According to the records in "History of the Yuan Dynasty": "In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Japanese merchant ships burned and plundered Yuan merchant ships, and the officers and soldiers were unable to defeat them."

Shandong Dengzhou Camp!

Prepare for Japanese troops!

The Japanese noble's mouth was bleeding, but he still struggled to get up from the ground, and then yelled at Tang Hao.

After a while, a large group of Japanese people were dragged out, including an extraordinary Japanese nobleman.

Everyone saw with their own eyes that their Marquis had knocked someone to pieces with one punch, and they all silently shut their mouths.

"You are so brave, I am the official envoy of the Japanese Empire!"

The Japanese nobleman was still clamoring, hoping to rely on his identity to make these wolf-like soldiers fearful.

However, the Japanese army did participate in the defense of Beijing. In the Tumubao Incident, the elite forces of the three major battalions of the capital were completely wiped out (equivalent to the loss of the main front-line troops). In order to resist the Oara army's attack on the capital, the Ming court began The troops drawn from the southern provinces are actually mostly second-line troops.

Such a big person, such a decent person, was beaten to death by you with one punch?

"Are you fucking Ashikaga Yoshimi?!"

Tang Hao thought for a while, then smiled and patted his shoulder.

As soon as these words came out, the little emperor suddenly became furious.

Tang Guanghe's face almost turned green when he heard this. He forced a smile and respectfully sent Tang Hao and others away.

Thinking about it this way, it’s not impossible!

Zhang Sheng: "???"

The serious Japanese and Warring States daimyo conquered each other, and the total number of troops mobilized by both sides was basically less than ten thousand people. After all, "village fighting", there were not that many young people in the village, and a few thousand people were considered powerful. Just think about it.

Under the management of the Ministry of War.

However, from the third year of Seihua to the fourth year of Seihua, during the tenure of the eighth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, a battle broke out between Hosokawa Katsumoto, the leader of the shogunate, and Yamana Mochitoyo and other guardian daimyo. The scope of the battle was not limited to Kyushu and other places. In addition to some places, the war spread across other Japanese lands. The turmoil brought Japan into the "Warring States Period" for nearly a century, which is the so-called Onin Rebellion.

However, after the Battle of Beijing ended, these elite Japanese troops were recruited and selected to form a tenth regiment battalion to defend the safety of the capital.

"Can you speak human language?"

Hiss... I can't afford to offend you!

Tang Guanghe slipped away with his men and stood aside to watch the show.

"Where are the Japanese delegation and the rest?"

"What is your name?"

Just kidding, this is the Marquis of Zhongshan, a famous upstart in the court, a cruel and ruthless maniac!

He, Tang Guanghe, was just a ninth-grade sesame official, but he had the guts to stop others!

The little emperor's face instantly darkened, and he immediately hit the scholar to write the decree, and then threw it to Tang Hao.

Therefore, Lei Xiong said that he was a military household preparing for the Japanese army in Shandong, which was really not a lie.

After all, the Japanese country is one of the fifteen "non-conquest countries" designated by Emperor Taizu Gao, so even if this situation really happened, no matter how angry the little emperor was, he would not be able to issue an order to send troops to the Japanese country!

Even if we put aside the ancestral motto of "a country without conquests", it is not advisable to go to sea for expedition, and those civil servants and gentry will not agree!

"What?"

hiss……

The Japanese envoy was awakened by a splash of cold water, making him tremble with the cold!

"The Marquis of Zhongshan is sending troops with a secret edict!"

Well you damn savage!

Ashikaga Yoshimi!

The second son of Ashikaga Yosumi, the 11th shogunate of the Muromachi shogunate, the younger brother of the 12th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu, the adopted son of the 10th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the father of the 14th shogun Ashikaga Yoshie!

In other words, his father is a shogun, his adoptive father is a shogun, his brother is a shogun, and his son is also a shogun. However, Ashikaga Yoshivi does not have the destiny to become a shogun!

The Onin Rebellion ushered in the so-called Warring States Period in Japan. After the war, the power of the shogunate, guardian daimyo, and manor lords and nobles became even weaker. The history of Japan entered the Warring States Period in which the emerging warring states daimyo fought with each other.

As for the foreign envoys who were watching the excitement, they were also frightened by Tang Hao's punch.

"Yes...I will!"

Damn it, your Ming Dynasty is not a country of etiquette. When did you become so vicious?

"I am now following His Majesty's order to arrest the Japanese delegation and their entourage, and torture them to find out the truth. Do you understand?"

Tang Hao is now Zhu Houzhao's right-hand man and confidant, and he is also a key figure in assisting Zhu Houzhao in reviving the Ming Dynasty!

Even if someone within the Ming Dynasty dares to assassinate Tang Hao, the young emperor will never tolerate it, let alone those bastards from the Japanese country!

"Ahem, take all the Japanese personnel away and escort them back to Dongguanting camp!"

As soon as Tang Guanghe saw the imperial edict, he didn't say much and just got out of the way.

Tang Hao took out the imperial edict, and everyone immediately fell to their knees.

Although, the little emperor couldn't quite understand why Tang Hao was so cruel to the Japanese people.

For example, Tang Hao's cheap ancestor, Tang He, was ordered to inspect the coasts of Shandong and Zhejiang to prepare for Japanese invaders. He built fifty-nine guard cities and created a system for preparing Japanese pirates along the coast. It took a year to finally build the city, and the Japanese pirates did not dare to take it lightly. He was known as "China's No. 1 Anti-Japanese General". People in Ningcun, Zhejiang and other places will remember Tang He's heroic feats of fighting against Japanese invaders until later generations. They built Tang He Temple and Fengyang Pavilion.

For a moment, the foreign envoys looked at each other with fear on their faces.

Liu Kai: "???"

For example, when Zheng He, the three treasure eunuchs, arrived in Japan, the king of Japan who was canonized was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third general of the Muromachi shogunate who conquered barbarians, not Emperor Naraoshiko!

"Well... I, the Marquis of Zhongshan, Tang Hao, just had dinner in Nancheng, and the Japanese deputy envoy led ten warriors to assassinate me. The evidence is conclusive!"

"Did they eat the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard?"

"Simpler!"

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiong stretched out his hand and dragged the guy's leg out like a dead dog, without giving him any face.

Damn it, you really dare to deceive me?

How dare you, just foreign barbarians?

"Oh...huh?!" Tang Hao wanted to continue investigating in depth, but suddenly an alarm bell rang in his mind!

As a coastal defense force to defend against Japanese pirates, the Japanese Army Preparatory Force has a very special status. According to the regulations of the imperial court, officials at all levels in the provinces and prefectures have no right to mobilize the Japanese Japanese Army Preparatory Army. In the event of an emergency, the imperial court must issue an order to mobilize troops, and Use the special golden talisman for mobilizing troops, otherwise the Japanese army will not be able to mobilize even one soldier.

It's not like someone is assassinating you. It's obvious that you want to take the opportunity to cause trouble and give the Japanese people a hard time!

"What?"

Even the little emperor couldn't help but think a little more, whether this was the conspiracy of Li Dongyang's thieves, colluding with the Japanese envoys to attack Tang Hao, and if it succeeded, the blame would be directly blamed on the Japanese!

Tang Hao became interested when he saw this, and punched him directly, and then... the man passed out.

"Your Majesty, the matter may not be so serious!"

"Um... do you want to die or live?"

Compared with the Warring States Period in Chinese history, this so-called Warring States Period was like a battle between villages in several Gobi counties for water sources. In fact, it was also a "village brawl". The number of troops on both sides could reach thousands or even tens of thousands at one time. People, but those are relatively rare.

It's just that Tang Hao didn't expect that he caught a Japanese man casually and thought about peeling off the skin and cramping and lighting a sky lantern, but he caught a big fish!

Ashikaga Yoshimi!

If a serious successor of the shogunate gets his own planning and support, he might not have a chance to ascend to the throne of the general who conquered barbarians in the future!

For a moment, Tang Hao was in trouble.

When Tang Hao saw this, he looked at Lei Xiong suspiciously.

Zhu Houzhao was indeed angry and gave the order directly.

Tang Guanghe, the ambassador of the Huitong Pavilion, looked at Tang Hao with horror on his face. He shivered for a long time, and then he asked bravely, "May I ask the general, what does this mean?"

Now that this madman has led his troops to investigate, he may have to massacre the entire Japanese mission!

"The Minister of Honglu Temple and Uncle Da Zong ask to see you!"

Go to your uncle's "land of etiquette"!

Is there such a vicious etiquette person as you?

Looking at the foreign envoys with frightened faces, Tang Guanghe couldn't help but sigh.

"I give you this power!"

However, what greeted him was Lei Xiong's fist as big as a casserole, which knocked the guy to the ground, and screams resounded throughout the audience.

"I just issued a secret edict!"

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. As a great country or a celestial country, all dynasties in the past have been tolerant towards neighboring countries, and have set up special institutions for foreign exchanges.

Tang Haoce immediately stepped forward and came to the ambassador of Huitong Pavilion.

But in certain emergencies, the emperor can issue secret edicts to mobilize troops, otherwise what kind of emperor would he be?

Tang Hao got the secret edict and turned around and left without hesitation.

Dongguanting camp.

"Soon, I will lead you to conquer the Japanese kingdom!"

Tang Hao waved his hand upon seeing this, and Tang Mu immediately rushed in with his soldiers.

The Marquis of Zhongshan doesn’t seem so hateful anymore!

"Deploy troops, mobilize troops immediately!"

In order to protect the capital, the imperial court assembled various troops from Henan, Shandong, Nanzhili and other regions. Even the troops responsible for food transportation were transferred to the capital, and the Japanese troops preparing for Japan from various coastal areas were naturally included.

"Ashikaga Yoshimi!"

After Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out all the heroes and established the world, the problem of Japanese pirates invading the southeast coast was still unresolved, and even involved many provinces such as Shandong, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Fujian.

After a while, the little emperor learned the truth from Zhang Sheng and Liu Kai. He really couldn't laugh or cry.

Comrade Zhu Chongba wanted to conquer Japan in anger, but was dissuaded by Liu Bowen. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in poverty, knew the suffering of the people, and finally decided to give up conquering Japan to avoid wasting people and money, and listed it as one of fifteen "countries not to be conquered" One, and ordered the Coast Guard to build a system to prepare for Japanese pirates.

As the national power of the Ming Dynasty continued to improve and the economy continued to develop, the influence of foreign exchanges also continued to increase, so that more and more countries came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, especially before and after Zheng He's voyages to the West, which can be called "all nations come" North Korea", the occasion was unprecedented.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"What? You don't like these Japanese bastards either?"

He was about to yell, but the severe pain on his face reminded him not to continue barking, otherwise his life would be in danger!

Tang Hao walked up to this guy and showed a kind smile.

But at the same time, frequently entertaining these foreign envoys also put great pressure on the management of the Huitong Hall. In order to better and effectively manage the affairs of the Huitong Hall, the Ministry of Rites participated in the management of the Huitong Hall. It is equivalent to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites jointly taking charge of the Huitong Pavilion.

"Who is that? Come out to wash the floor. Don't ruin our good image as a "state of etiquette" in the Ming Dynasty!"

Therefore, this conspiracy is really vicious!

Ashikaga Yoshivi looked at the ferocious Ming Zhongshan Marquis and was so frightened that he almost cried.

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiong's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled rarely at Tang Hao.

I bother!

A total of eighteen guard posts have been established in Shandong Province, of which the Shandong Du Command and Envoy Department is responsible for managing seven guards, and the remaining eleven guards are under the management of the Shandong Beiwadu Command and Envoy Department. Because they are under the management of the Beiwadu Department of Defense, they are called Prepare Japanese troops for Shandong.

"I just want to see what these bastards want to do!"

Huitong Pavilion.

"Deploy troops to the Huitong Hall to investigate this matter!"

"late!"

Damn it, it was so dangerous, but fortunately the person is still alive!

In addition, the negotiations between the Hongwu Dynasty and the Japanese state were not successful. Zhu Yuanzhang even sent an envoy to the Japanese state, but at one time, the Japanese prince Huailiang killed five envoys and detained other envoys, without any respect.

Besides, these Japanese people went crazy to assassinate the Marquis of Zhongshan. It would be fine if they succeeded, but they failed.

Seeing this situation, Zhongshan Hou was a little panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to take a breath.

"Fortunately, Wei Chen was very skilled, so he killed them all. There are a large number of people watching to testify to this!"

This strength is growing too fast, I can't control my strength!

There are not many officials in this Huitong Pavilion. There is one ambassador, the ninth rank, and two deputy envoys, the ninth rank.

"Live!" Ashikaga Yoshiki immediately knelt down at Tang Hao's feet and kowtowed loudly.

Seeing this situation, Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh.

Damn it, why did you just ask him his name?
