Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Two months have passed quickly.

At this moment, the red light on the phantom of the Longevity Fruit Tree was significantly stronger than before.

At the same time, Zhu Ying also discovered that the longevity fruits on the longevity fruit tree were gradually ripening.

This is naturally what Zhu Ying hoped to see.

The reason why the Longevity Fruit was able to mature so quickly in such a short time was mainly due to the achievements of the Ming Dynasty navy.

During these two months, the Ming navy bombarded the Southern Dynasty of Japan almost every day.

It can be said.

The entire island of Wa (Japan) during the Southern Dynasties had become a scorched wasteland, barren of everything.

Also.

In order to completely wipe out the Southern Dynasty of Japan and prevent the Japanese from restoring their country, Zhu Ying issued a very severe order for a massacre.

One hundred thousand Ming Dynasty naval soldiers were allowed to enter the city.

and.

Zhu Ying allowed the Ming Dynasty's naval soldiers to commit arson, murder, and looting without any restrictions!
Ever since.

The Southern Dynasty on the Japanese islands was thus completely transformed into a living hell.

After 100,000 Ming Dynasty naval soldiers landed, despite the fact that the emperor of the Southern Court of Japan had previously organized a portion of his forces to resist them.

But the result was cruel.

These soldiers from the Southern Dynasty on the Japanese islands quickly became victims of the Ming Dynasty's naval forces.

Also.

Following Zhu Ying's orders, Ming soldiers also began massacring adult males in the Southern Court of Japan.

For a while.

The entire Southern Dynasty of Japan was a scene of bloodshed.

As the emperor of the Southern Court of Japan, Go-Kameyama's mentality completely collapsed after hearing the various battle reports.

Meanwhile, the civil and military officials of the Southern Court on the Japanese islands even proposed surrendering to the Ming Dynasty's navy.

Hou Guishan naturally agreed with this.

just.

The envoy sent by Guishan was killed by Ming soldiers before he even got to see Zhu Ying.

Without a doubt, for the Ming Dynasty at this time, negotiating with the Southern Dynasty of Japan was utterly meaningless.

At that time, Zhu Ying only wanted to destroy the Southern Dynasty of Japan and make it disappear from history completely!
Before long, the Ming soldiers stormed into the palace, taking only two hours.

The palace of the Southern Dynasty on the Japanese island was reduced to ruins, and all members of the royal family and civil and military officials were massacred by the Ming army.

As the emperor of the Southern Court of Japan, Go-Kameyama's body was dismembered and thrown into the East China Sea to feed the fish.

Although the people of the Southern Court of Japan spontaneously rebelled afterward.

However, these people were no match for the Ming Dynasty's navy.

Within two months, the Ming Dynasty wiped out all the resistance forces in various regions!

During this time.

Many resistance fighters also used the city walls in an attempt to block the Ming Dynasty's attack.

But all the results are the same.

The city fell and its people perished.

Furthermore, wherever they went, the Ming soldiers would carry out massacres!

A massacre was carried out on all fronts!

The main reason Zhu Ying ordered this was that, in his view, these Japanese could not be called human beings at all.

These Japanese people have a chaotic social atmosphere, and some ordinary people simply make a living by fishing.

However, once it gets dark, if a merchant ship passes through the waters where they fish, these fishermen will instantly transform into pirates.

They committed arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of atrocities!
and so.

In Zhu Ying's view, these Japanese are evil people at heart, and the current situation is entirely their own fault.

Even if he killed them all, Zhu Ying would have no qualms about it...

that's it.

After two months of frenzied slaughter, the Southern Court of Japan is now completely reduced to ruins, littered with corpses and desolate.

Throughout the entire country, adult men are virtually nonexistent!

……

now.

Northern Dynasty of Japan.

royal palace.

above the hall.

Looking around, every official's face showed panic and worry.

Ever since the Ming navy stormed into the Southern Court of Japan, the Northern Court of Japan, from the Emperor to the civil and military officials, all feared that the Ming would invade the Northern Court.

Therefore, they have been living in fear and trepidation for some time now.

Every day was worse than death for them, and they were terrified that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would suddenly attack from the Southern Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, according to the latest news from the front lines, the Southern Dynasty has been basically occupied by the Ming Dynasty."

"Ming soldiers carried out another frenzied massacre in the Southern Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty has basically lost all ability to resist."

"Now, corpses litter the fields of the Southern Dynasty, and all adult men have been slaughtered by the Ming Dynasty. The entire South is like a living hell..."

"This is not just an invasion, it's a one-sided genocide!"

A minister in charge of the Ministry of War spoke first.

His tone revealed that the official was both helpless and afraid.

And at this moment, on the dragon throne.

When Xiaosong heard the news, his face was full of sorrow.

He said in a trembling voice, "In the end, the Southern Dynasty could not withstand the bloodshed of the Ming Dynasty!"

It is clear that Gosho Komatsu had mixed feelings about the fall of the Southern Dynasty.

Although the relationship between the Southern and Northern Dynasties was not good.

The two countries have been in a state of hostility for many years, and have also fought wars against each other many times.

But... after all, they are all countries on the Japanese island.

People of the same bloodline.

Moreover, all the people of the Northern Court on the Japanese islands were well aware that if the Southern Court were destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Court would be left vulnerable.

There is a high probability that the Ming Dynasty will continue its campaign against the Northern Dynasty.

At that time, the Northern Court of Japan will also fall into the same fate as the Southern Court.

so! !

When the Minister of War recounted the tragic state of the Southern Dynasty, the faces of all the officials in the court changed drastically!
"Since the fall of the Southern Dynasty is only a matter of time, what do you all think we, the Northern Dynasty of Japan, should do?" After sighing, Komatsu asked the civil and military officials.

But at this moment, all the civil and military officials of the Northern Court of Japan fell silent in the entire hall.

Clearly, these people also did not know how to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

"say something!"

"Are they all mute?" Hou Xiaosong was furious when he saw that everyone was silent, and he roared.

At this moment, the Minister of War who had just reported on the situation of the Southern Dynasty took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is extremely cruel and has great ambitions. Now that the Southern Dynasty is about to be destroyed, our Northern Dynasty must make plans as soon as possible!"

"The Northern and Southern Courts of Japan belong to the same island and share the same bloodline. I believe we should actively prepare for war."

When this high-ranking official from the Ministry of War expressed his thoughts, he immediately encountered opposition from other officials!
"We absolutely cannot engage in war with the Ming Dynasty! Everyone knows how powerful the Ming Dynasty is. If we rashly start a war with the Ming Dynasty, then... today's Southern Dynasty will be tomorrow's Northern Dynasty!"

Empress Xiaosong agreed with this statement and said, "That makes sense. Since the Southern Dynasty is no match for the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Dynasty is naturally no match for the Ming Dynasty either."

"Now that things have come to this, we must maintain good relations with the Ming Dynasty and absolutely cannot allow any conflict to break out."

The officials of the Northern Court were well aware of what the Southern Court had been going through, so Emperor Go-Komatsu, as the emperor of the Northern Court of Japan, naturally did not want to follow in the footsteps of the Southern Court.

The other officials, upon hearing what Komatsu said, naturally offered their support.

"Your Majesty, I also believe that at present, we must not have any conflict with the Ming Dynasty, and we should prioritize stability!"

"That's right, it's also possible that the Ming Dynasty's goal this time is only to massacre the Southern Dynasty of Japan, and they won't attack our Northern Dynasty!"

"The reason why the Ming Dynasty attacked the Southern Court of Japan was largely because the Southern Court of Japan rashly launched an attack on a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, while the Northern Court of Japan had always maintained peaceful relations with the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty naturally had no reason to punish them!"

"Yes, we have already missed the best opportunity to go to war with the Ming Dynasty. If we really wanted to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, we should have sent troops when the Ming Dynasty invaded the Southern Dynasty!"

"Now that the Southern Dynasty has been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, sending troops now would be like inviting trouble!"

Basically, officials of the Northern Court of Japan hoped not to provoke the Ming Dynasty. After all, if a war really broke out, the Northern Court of Japan would be no match for the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the high-ranking official from the Ministry of War spoke up again: "Is this really so ridiculous? Do you really think that as long as our Northern Dynasty doesn't go to war with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will let us go?"

"Stop dreaming! The Ming Dynasty is no longer a land of etiquette. Don't you know what Ming soldiers did in the Southern Court of Japan?"

"They have committed arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of atrocities. Now, there are no adult males left in the Southern Dynasty! It is almost a nation on the verge of extinction!"

"After the Ming Dynasty destroys the Southern Dynasty, it will surely launch a northern expedition to attack our Northern Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty is ambitious and definitely wants to dominate the entire island!"

After the Ministry of War official launched into a tirade, the atmosphere in the hall became tense once again.

after all.

The words spoken by this high-ranking official from the Ministry of War were truly insightful and made great sense.

Seeing that everyone remained silent, the high-ranking official from the Ministry of War continued, "According to the latest intelligence, the reason why the Ming Dynasty attacked the Southern Dynasty of Japan was not only because the Southern Dynasty attacked Ryukyu, but also for other reasons."

Upon hearing this, Empress Xiaosong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, quickly asked, "Why is that? Tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty, according to my understanding, the reason why the Ming Dynasty has launched such a large-scale war is mainly to retaliate against the Japanese for sending spies to steal gunpowder and technology!"

"If I remember correctly, it was His Majesty the Emperor who issued the decree!"

no doubt.

After the high-ranking official from the Ministry of War finished speaking, the faces of all the civil and military officials in the hall turned deathly pale!

They all turned their gazes toward Hou Xiaosong without prior arrangement.

At this moment, the Northern Court Emperor also looked flustered.

after all!

It was indeed he who gave the order to send spies to Yingtian Prefecture to steal gunpowder and technology.

Back then, after hearing that the Ming Dynasty possessed powerful firearms and gunpowder, Hou Xiaosong harbored wicked intentions.

So they sent spies to infiltrate the Ming Dynasty, attempting to steal gunpowder and technology, and then use this gunpowder to strengthen their own power, thereby destroying the Southern Dynasty.

just.

Later, Komatsu never imagined that his decision would directly lead to the destruction of his country and the extinction of his race!

What Xiaosong didn't expect was that the Ming Dynasty didn't directly attack its Northern Dynasty, but instead destroyed the Southern Dynasty first.

After witnessing the tragic state of the Southern Dynasty, Xiaosong naturally became even more fearful and wary of the Ming army.

"Then...what should we do?"

Hou Xiaosong knew very well that if the Ming Dynasty had really come for this matter, then the Northern Dynasty would surely suffer a massacre as well!

He urgently needs to discuss countermeasures with his civil and military officials.

At this time.

After a moment's thought, an official from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said to Komatsu, "Your Majesty, things have come to this point, and we can only send an envoy to negotiate with the commander of the Ming Dynasty."

"Inform the Ming commander that we, the Northern Court of Japan, are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty forever!"

"Perhaps, only in this way can the Northern Court of Japan be spared from the bloodshed of the Ming Dynasty!"

When this high-ranking official from the Ministry of Rites expressed his idea of ​​submitting to the Ming Dynasty, Gokomatsu immediately agreed!

After all, he had no other choice at this point.

Unable to fight back or escape, Hou Xiaosong had no choice but to submit!

"As long as the Northern Court of Japan is spared from slaughter, I am naturally willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty!"

Subsequently, Komatsu immediately appointed an official to travel swiftly to the Southern Dynasty to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty.

a few days later.

Inside the Ming Dynasty navy's barracks.

Feng Sheng, the naval admiral, suddenly arrived at Zhu Ying's camp.

"Your Highness, a messenger claiming to be from the Northern Court of Japan has come to request an audience!"

"An envoy from the Northern Dynasty? My army hasn't even entered the Northern Dynasty yet, and they're already getting restless."

"Let him in. I'd like to see what this Northern Dynasty is really up to."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Feng Sheng immediately sent someone to bring the Northern Dynasty envoy into the camp.

As soon as the Northern Dynasty envoy entered the tent, he immediately knelt before Zhu Ying.

"Reporting to the Celestial Emperor! I am an envoy from the Northern Court of Japan, and I have come here to submit to the Celestial Emperor! I humbly request the Celestial Emperor's permission!"

After saying this, the Northern Dynasty envoy kowtowed repeatedly to Zhu Ying.

However, Feng Sheng, who was standing to the side, immediately shouted, "Shut up!"

"This is not a general of the Ming Dynasty, but the grandson of the Ming Emperor! How dare you call the grandson of the Emperor a general of the Celestial Empire? I think you're tired of living!"

After saying that, Feng Sheng drew the sword from his waist.

At this moment, the Northern Dynasty envoy was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that Zhu Ying, the grandson of the emperor, would personally lead the expedition.

After pausing for a moment, the Northern Dynasty envoy immediately began to kowtow frantically to Zhu Ying.

He even banged his forehead until it bled!
"We are all ignorant fools who didn't recognize your greatness! Please, Your Highness, spare our lives!"

Zhu Ying waved his hand, signaling Feng Sheng to put away his weapon. Then, Zhu Ying spoke again: "Speak, what is your purpose in coming here this time?"

The Northern Court envoy immediately addressed Zhu Ying with utmost respect, saying, "Your Highness, I have been entrusted by the Emperor to represent the Northern Court of Japan in paying homage to Your Highness!"

"The Northern Court of Japan is willing to submit to the Celestial Empire forever! We will serve His Highness the Imperial Prince with utmost loyalty!"

“From now on, the Northern Court of Japan will pay tribute to the Celestial Empire with gold, silver, jewels, beauties, and slaves every year... We only ask that His Highness the Grand Prince be merciful and bypass the Northern Court of Japan.”
