I'm the best catcher in martial arts

Surrender also requires skill.

Some simply knelt down and surrendered neatly, while others needed to act to show that they were "forced to have no choice." The Emperor of Japan fell into the latter category and rehearsed many big dramas.

Tang Shunzhi guessed what the Emperor of Japan was thinking, and tacitly acted with him, asking Zhu Xi to persuade him to surrender.

As for the next matter, of course, it is left to the real envoys. Zhu Ju and Zhu Tan are the mascots from above. The real person in charge is the last envoy to arrive, Lao Li Tanhua, the Minister of Rites.

Lao Li Tanhua is the true messenger who holds the imperial edict, has the power to act expediently, and represents the emperor.

The specific process is:

Based on the situation in Japan, Lao Li Tanhua worked out various plans, including how to reward the names of those who surrendered, how to divide the aristocratic families in various parts of Japan, and which families were chickens to scare the monkeys, and which families were the bones of the rich.

After the draft was completed, it was handed over to Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tan.

The two princes stamped it.

The will is distributed.

The Yagyu family, which was the first to surrender, was given preferential treatment in some aspects, such as granting fiefs and swords.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and other powerful tycoons divided themselves from within, similar to the Han Dynasty's favor order, and rewarded their cronies.

In terms of power, the rise and fall of power puts the two people in a state of struggle and maintains a special balance. This is what Lao Li Tanhua is good at, and he does it like a fish in water.

The most important thing is one more task.

Zhu Yuanzhang's goal in launching this war was not just silver mines, but killing three birds with one stone.

From the Central Plains to Japan, due to the natural barrier of the sea, it is very time-consuming. It is easy to ignore foreign military orders and endanger tigers.

What if we start from Goguryeo?

Is the distance much closer?

Thinking about it conversely, if we advance from Japan, we can attack Goguryeo from both sides, and then use it as a springboard to encircle the Manchus and completely wipe out the northern Xinjiang.

Shen Lian originally had no idea about this, and even felt that sending Lao Li to explore the flowers was a bit excessive. However, after seeing the various actions of the accompanying deputy envoy, Yuan Shaoqing, the Minister of War, he realized that Lao Zhu was far-sighted.

These things have nothing to do with Shen Lian.

To put it bluntly, if the target of this expedition was not Japan, Shen Lian would probably have taken a leave of absence due to illness and recuperated at home, waiting for the training in August.

Now that Shen Lian's part of the affairs of Japan is over, how to govern Japan and how to use it as a springboard to attack Goguryeo and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not to mention Shen Lian, an outsider, Zhu Zhutan doesn't care.

In addition to stamping, Zhu Ju also studies plants.

In addition to stamping, Zhu Tan also studied ancient books.

Although the mirage was driven away by Li Bai, the bamboo slips left by Xu Fu are still there. Wang Lianhua, who is knowledgeable and talented and naturally has a high thirst for knowledge, stayed to translate the bamboo slips and unravel the secrets of the pre-Qin Dynasty.

Shen Lang wanted to go back to the Central Plains to see.

On the one hand, he went home to worship his ancestors, and on the other hand, there should be an explanation for what happened with Bai Feifei.

Amid the farewells of the Japanese warriors, Shen Lian and others left by boat. Compared to Tang Shunzhi, Shen Lian had a greater reputation in Japan and was equivalent to a martial arts myth.

It is not only the nightmare of countless Japanese warriors, scaring them away from the courage to draw their swords, but also the target of countless young geniuses who hope to defeat the disciples carefully trained by Shen Lian in five years.

…

bow.

Feng Siniang asked curiously: "Husband, Miyagi Xuanwu, the three masters of the Japanese royal family, was defeated by you. What about the other two? Why didn't they take action?"

Zuo Shi was also quite curious about this.

The Japanese worship warriors very much, this worship is much higher than that in the Central Plains, and the status of warriors is very high.

There were many battles between dragons and tigers in the early stage, which allowed Feng Siniang to see the demeanor of Japanese warriors, especially their ruthless determination to fight to the death and their indifference to death, which is really unforgettable.

Since Shen Lian defeated Miyamoto Musashi, the Japanese warriors not only did not come for revenge, but actively retreated.

The masters trained by the Japanese royal family, except Miyagi Xuanwu, all avoided fighting. Where did the courage of these people go? Where is their bravery?

What about the royal genius who focuses on martial arts?

What about the mysterious royal offering?

Are they all scared?

Why did you get discouraged so quickly?

Shen Lian stretched out, stretched his slightly stiff muscles, stretched his veins, and spoke the most pretentious words in the most indifferent tone.

"Because they don't want to die!"

"Husband, do you know who they are?"

"Of course I know that the royal genius is the mysterious man in white. Although this man is not afraid of death, he knows that his martial arts skills are far inferior. The challenge is to risk death.

He needs more training. When he feels that he is successful in martial arts, he will definitely come to the Central Plains to challenge.

I hope that by that time, my apprentice will have grown up enough to receive his katana.

The royal family worships the king of Japan. This man has kept a low profile for decades and balanced the situation in Japan. If the Ming Dynasty had not arrived, he might have been able to achieve great results.

It's a pity that he doesn't have this chance!

All his pride lies in his power. When the army comes to the city, his power disappears, and his martial arts goes with it. Without his martial arts, he will naturally lose the courage to take action and only think about how to save his life.

When we first landed in Japan, if the King of Japan personally marched and fought with me in front of the two armies, I would have at most an 80% chance of winning, and I would definitely be injured. "

Feng Siniang rolled her eyes when she heard this.

Are you speaking human language?

Two peerless masters, one knows that his martial arts skills are far inferior to yours, and can only compete with your apprentice, the other is even more speechless, and his words are not even close to each other!

It is not unusual for an emperor to lead a military expedition in person, but how can an emperor personally go to the battlefield to participate in a battle?

What did the civil and military ministers do for food?

Are all martial arts worshipers freeloaders?

If something like this happened in the Central Plains, the civil and military ministers would feel extremely ashamed and humiliated. Most of those martial arts worshippers would not have the shame to stay. It would be so embarrassing!

Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhu Yuanzhang all personally led the charge. Li Shimin charged three thousand against one hundred thousand. Zhao Kuangyin claimed to conquer the world with a pair of fists and a stick. When Zhu Yuanzhang charged, Chang Yuchun would be frightened.

However, they were not emperors at that time. It was the stage when they were conquering the world. In certain battles, they needed to take the lead to boost morale. This was a must.

Even so, it was a unified charge, a group of people charging into battle, not a one-on-one battle with others.

What should you do when facing a fighting general?

Li Shimin sent Qin Qiong:

Whenever Shu Bao went on an expedition with Emperor Taizong, there would be some brave generals and soldiers among the enemy, showing off their men and horses, coming and going. Emperor Taizong would be very angry and would order Shu Bao to go and get them. Shu Bao would obey the order, jump on his horse and advance with a spear, and he would stab everyone. middle……

This means that if a master provokes a provocation, Li Shimin will ask Qin Qiong to take action. Qin Qiong will single-handedly kill the enemy master in front of thousands of troops.

Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates who did this kind of task were Chang Yuchun in the early stage and Chang Mao in the later stage. The martial arts masters were handed over to Xu Ruowu, Guo Bujing, and even Yan Jing'an.

Even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, the most courageous "overlord" in history, charged into the battle instead of looking for someone to challenge him. Even if it was a one-on-one challenge, he wanted to fight Liu Bang one-on-one, not a warrior.

Picture that.

The Emperor of Japan went on a personal expedition and led tens of thousands of Japanese warriors into formation. In front of the formation, the two armies were fighting one-on-one with Shen Lian to the death. Does the army still have morale?

This is an absolutely impossible scenario.

Even under such circumstances, Shen Lian assigned the Emperor of Japan only a 20% chance of winning...

Can you die if you are more modest?

Forgot to mention, Japan no longer has an emperor, nor will there be an emperor, only the king of Japan.

The title "Emperor" is too overbearing and will damage one's own luck. Lao Zhu helped them change their names and restore their names during the Han Dynasty, which was regarded as a "reward" for them.

The imperial army did not return, and the returning fleet was divided into three parts: Tang Shunzhi returned to the court to report his merits, Shen Lang went to the God of Wealth Island first, and then returned to the Central Plains, and Shen Lian took a dozen boatmen and returned to Hangzhou in a small boat.

Of course, a small warship is not a small fishing boat.

Apart from the boatman in charge of driving the boat, only Shen Lianfeng and Siniang Zuo Shi were the only ones. It wasn't that she didn't want to go with Shen Lang, but Shen Lang expressed that he wanted to go to the God of Wealth Island to see his uncle whom he hadn't seen for a long time and help him solve some minor problems.

It’s no secret that sea voyages are pretty boring.

When we go there, we call it marching and fighting. We can't fight in the front half of the army, but we are still singing and dancing under the beauties' tents.

It won't matter when you return.

Therefore, Shen Lang politely declined.

Play however you like!

…

The weather at sea can change at any time.

If you use "ghost weather" to describe the storm at sea, it must be too exaggerated. How could the "ghost weather" look like this? It's so crazy.

It was calm during the day, but suddenly a violent storm rolled up at night, covering the sky and the sun, destroying the sky and the earth.

The hurricane rolled up hundreds of feet of waves, and the terrifying power of the natural world was clearly revealed at this moment. Several waterspouts tens of feet high could even be seen in the distance.

If Ximen Chuixue, Xiao Feng, Yan Nantian and other friends were here and combined with Shen Lian, they would be able to roll up three or four tornadoes of this height, but there were seven or eight tornadoes in front of them, and as the hurricane became stronger and stronger.

The power of heaven and earth is so terrifying!

The battleship, which has been tempered for thousands of years, was easily torn into thousands of pieces by the wind and waves. It was even stronger than a master like Shen Lian, and was swept away by the violent hurricane.

Not to mention humans, even Ah Jin kept wailing in the face of such violent wind and waves.

At dawn, the storm finally passed.

Pieces of broken ship planks floated on the surface of the sea, like the remains that a giant beast of the deep sea devoured flesh and bones, chewed up bones, and spit out after eating and drinking. Together with the whine of seabirds in mid-air, it sounded like a death knell on the sea surface.

…

Shen Lian woke up leisurely on an island.

He was drawn by the undercurrent.

Shen Lian heard an old sailor say that if there is a violent storm on the sea and there is really nowhere to hide, you can try to dive underwater and escape along the undercurrent.

This is the exclusive Shen Lian method.

Only the body of the Vajra that has been refined thousands of times can survive the undercurrent.

Shen Lian took the risk to dive into the undercurrent and followed its direction. The undercurrent seemed to be conscious and actually sent Shen Lian to a certain island, along with a variety of precious commodities and ship fragments.

Apparently, there were many shipwrecks.

Shen Lian relied on his physical advantage to pick and choose, and found several useful things, such as a golden kettle, salt sealed in a sack, a large piece of relatively complete ship plank, and even a person.

——Lu Xiaofeng!

The moment he saw Lu Xiaofeng, Shen Lian knew why he was in a shipwreck. It must have been this unlucky guy who offended the Dragon King and caused a violent tsunami.

Shen Lian did not explore the island, but first caught three or four sea fish and grilled them to eat to regain some strength, and then helped Lu Xiaofeng guide Qi back to the origin and sort out the Qi.

Not long after, Lu Xiaofeng woke up leisurely.

Looking at the sturdy figure in front of him, Lu Xiaofeng showed a bitter smile: "Am I dead? Is this the heaven? Shen Lian, are you back?"

Shen Lian pressed hard on his numb tendons.

"Ouch, what are you doing?"

"Does it hurt?"

"Nonsense, if I press you, you will know if it hurts or not. I will spend the rest of my life, just kidding, can't you let me enjoy my suffering for a little bit?"

"If it's Chu Liuxiang, I definitely agree. If it's Lu Xiaofeng, I just want to beat you to death. You know your unlucky physique, how dare you go out to sea on a boat without me following you?"

Lu Xiaofeng was born to be incompatible with water.

Taking a boat is almost certain to lead to disaster.

The only few times he was safe, Shen Lian was with him every time. He almost didn't know how to go to sea, especially when Shen Lian wasn't around, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't know how to go to sea.

Hearing Shen Lian's words, Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "I burned incense and bathed before departure, fasted for three days, and offered incense to Mazu, and got her permission."

Shen Lian pointed at himself: "That's why Mazu asked me to save you, lest you die in the belly of a fish."

"Then don't I need to thank you?"

"Do you want to be thrown back into the ocean?"

"Ahem! Shen Lian, where is this?"

"have no idea."

"Aren't you in Japan?"

"We won the battle and went home to recuperate."

"What should we do now?"

"Eat, recharge your batteries, and then explore the situation on this island, waiting for my uncle to come to the rescue."

"Your uncle knows what's going on here?"

"Mazu will tell him in her dreams."

Shen Lian turned around and went to the beach.

The aquatic products around this island are very rich. Shen Lian quickly caught more than 20 sea fish, and Lu Xiaofeng picked up more than 30 sea shells and several large lobsters.

The two lit a fire to grill the fish, ate and drank, and then explored the island together. The island was very large and had an excellent internal environment, with lush flowers and trees, waterfalls and springs, and rare and exotic animals such as cranes and elk.

Lu Xiaofeng was like a drowned rat in the water, but on land he was a phoenix, taking the initiative to undertake the task of exploring the path.

With his unrivaled martial arts skills, even if there were eight hundred pirates on the island, they would not be able to harm him at all.

There are no pirates on the island.

The first figure they saw was a kind-hearted little old man with a round, red face and a half-bald head. He smiled very kindly.

It can be seen from his smile that this person has absolutely no hostility and welcomes guests.

"Welcome two brave men to the island."

The little old man made a "please" gesture.

"Refining while sinking."

"I'm here, Lu Xiaofeng."

"It turns out to be Mr. Lu and Mr. Shen. The young man's name is Wu Ming. His mouth is Wu, and the sun and the moon are bright."

Lu Xiaofeng had a look of surprise on her face and said to herself that the little old man was very discerning and his title was very accurate.

This old man is so cute! (End of chapter)
