Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Soon after Jiang Hongfei chatted with a group of Japanese who had joined the Yuan Empire, Jiang Hongfei kept Tamamoae by his side to serve as his adviser on Japan and teach him Japanese.

Of course, this is just an excuse.

Within a few days, Tamamo Mae was telling Jiang Hongfei about Japan in bed and teaching Jiang Hongfei Japanese.

Jiang Hongfei felt at ease with this.

In Jiang Hongfei's words, if you want to learn well, you have to sleep with the master.

Jiang Hongfei did this not because he was greedy for Tamamo Mae's body and wanted to taste the taste of this famous vixen, but because he loved learning and class, that's all.

Soon after, Jiang Hongfei appointed Ruan Xiaoer as the marshal of the Japanese capital, Liu Qi as the deputy marshal, Wen Huanzhang as the xuanfu envoy, Zhan Du as the system envoy, Yu Yunwen as the transfer envoy, Ruan Xiaowu, Li Bao, Yang Yizhong He led the left army, and Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun and Wang De led the right army.

Ruan Xiaoer and others planned that the left army, composed of 50,000 navy and 50,000 land troops, would attack Japan's Kyushu Island and then go north to target Kyoto on Japan's Honshu Island.

The Right Army, composed of 50,000 navy and 50,000 land troops, directly attacked Kyoto on Honshu Island, Japan.

In order to make his division famous and to attack people's hearts, Jiang Hongfei asked the Japanese army to attack him in the name of revenge for Tamamo Mae.

This battle——

The route taken by the Left Route Army passed through Tsushima Island and landed directly in Kyushu, Japan. It was a very mature route. Many maritime merchants traveling to Japan were familiar with this route.

When Ruan Xiaoer and others went to Japan, they also took this route.

However, it is precisely because this route has become the main route to Japan that Japan has the most complete defenses in this direction.

In other words, the left army must fight one level at a time.

One hundred years ago, after Toi invaded Japan, it aroused the Japanese court's fear of mainland forces invading Kyushu.

In order to strengthen the defense force along the coast of Kyushu, the Japanese court set up garrison offices in Iki and Tsushima respectively. The local wealthy family Ozo Seika served as the Iki garrison, and the Kyoto noble Fujiwara Masanori was sent to Tsushima as the Tsushima garrison, responsible for Iki and Tsushima respectively. Guarding of horses.

The Japanese court also required Dazaifu to collect information on the attacking party such as the ship's structure, equipment, fighting methods, tactics, etc., changing its previous attitude of indifference to the outside world.

The group warfare method used by Daoyi was not only unseen by the Japanese at the time, but had not even heard of it.

Although the war against Daoyi's invasion was finally victorious, this victory came at a heavy price. In particular, one can imagine how shocking the Toyori's group tactics were to the Japanese at the time.

As a result, the Japanese court began to pay attention to group warfare. Although this did not completely change the form of war in Japan, for the Yuan Empire's attack, they should be able to quickly adapt to the group charge tactics of the Yuan cavalry and stick to the coastal positions. .

Moreover, the legion military system based on the athlete system and the soldier selection system under the Japanese imperial decree system was completely established. Each legion acted in a unified manner under the command of the commander. There would no longer be the original primitive way of fighting alone and fighting alone. Fight.

The Yuan Empire must pay certain attention to this.

But then again, although the Japanese court has made some changes, because Japan has never had a foreign war and does not understand the cruelty of war, they should not be part of the Yuan army that has been fighting in the north and south for many years. opponent.

In short, Jiang Hongfei believed that attacking the Japanese army from the left would definitely break the Japanese defense.

The route taken by the Right Route Army was a brand new route. They set off from Busan and went straight to Japan's Honshu Island, where they made a surprise attack on Kyoto on Honshu Island and carried out beheadings.

When formulating the route for this surprise attack, Ruan Xiaoer and others carefully described the location of Fukui Port to the main generals of the right route army. Ruan Xiaoqi also personally took people to visit Fukui Port.

But even so, Jiang Hongfei and his ministers were worried that the right army would not be able to complete this surprise attack. After all, the navigation technology of this era was still too backward.

Fortunately——

Ruan Xiaoer and others brought back many Japanese, some of whom were Japanese fishermen and were very familiar with Japanese waters.

in short.

With Jiang Hongfei personally seeing him off, the three men of the Ruan family led the Yuan army to set off. They planned to go to Jidi first, and then attack Japan from Jidi.

More than ten days after the army set off, the flying slaves flying from Jidi brought the news that the Japanese army had successfully arrived at Jidi.

Soon, news from the front line began to arrive in Hangzhou.

But what surprised Jiang Hongfei was that all this news came from the left army.

The message said:

After setting off from Hepu, the Left Army successfully landed on Tsushima Island three days later and completely wiped out the Japanese defenders on the island.

On the evening of the 11th day later, forward Li Shifu personally led more than a thousand people from his troops to land on Iki Island. The Japanese guards led more than a hundred cavalry to intercept them and were completely wiped out. The defenders then led more than 200 cavalry to fight fiercely with Li Shifu's troops. Li Shifu took the lead and defeated the Japanese army. The Japanese army was defeated and retreated to the city.

Li Shifu is actually the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Li Xianzhong in history.

He was also from the Western Army. When Yan'an fell, he and his father Li Yongqi defected to the Yuan Empire.

After Jiang Hongfei knew that this treasure had come to vote for him, he transferred Li Shifu to his own army and vigorously trained him.

This time during the invasion of Japan, Jiang Hongfei appointed Li Shifu as the vanguard officer.

The next day, Li Shifu personally led his army to attack the city.

The Japanese army had never expected that the Yuan army had such a magical war skill as flying bridges. As a result, in just half an hour, Tsushima Castle was breached by the Yuan army, and the defender committed suicide.

The Yuan army then prepared to land in Hakata Bay. When approaching the coastal islands of Hizen, they were bravely resisted by the Hizen defenders.

The two sides fought fiercely again.

In the end, the Japanese army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

After the Yuan army successfully landed in Hakata Bay, it approached Imazu.

The terrain in this area was not conducive to the deployment of large troops. There was another day's journey from Dazaifu, so Yang Yizhong ordered the left-wing army to withdraw to the ship that night and prepare to land again and launch an attack the next morning.

The next day, the left-wing army landed in Hakata Bay in two routes, the east and the west - Li Bao led the east-wing army, and Yang Yizhong led the west-wing army.

At this time, Emperor Shirakawa, who had already known that Japan was attacked, sent a reply to the court through the court office, gathering a total of about 100,000 troops from Kyushu countries, preparing for a decisive battle with the left-wing army.

The Western Army, which was separated from the Left Army, landed at Momochihara, and the Japanese sent 2,000 cavalry to fight; the Eastern Army, which was separated from the Left Army, successfully landed at Hakata Hakozaki in the east of Hakata Bay, defeated the defenders, occupied the pine forest on the shore, and attacked the Japanese army fighting with the Western Army in Momochihara from behind.

The Japanese army was attacked from both sides, suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining troops retreated towards the Dazaifu Water Castle.

After the first battle, Emperor Shirakawa knew the strength of the Yuan army, so he ordered: the guards of various places returned to the country to recruit men under the age of 65 from all over the country as reserve soldiers, and the monks of various temples were also mobilized to defend the country and strengthen military construction.

At the same time, Emperor Shirakawa also made a detailed division of labor for the samurai of various countries: the samurai in Shikoku and Kyushu strengthened their defenses in their local areas; the samurai in Chugoku defended Suofang and Nagato, which were the keys to the west gate, and were ready to support the resistance in Shikoku and Kyushu at any time; the samurai in Gyeonggi and Kanto rushed to Kyoto; the samurai in Oshu were also ready to fight at any time.

It is not difficult to see from the deployment of Emperor Shirakawa that Emperor Shirakawa has realized that this will be a war that will destroy the country.

In the face of Emperor Shirakawa's deployment, Ruan Xiaoer also sent a letter of help to Jiang Hongfei, and repeatedly requested that the logistics supply must be guaranteed.

After Jiang Hongfei read Ruan Xiaoer's letter of help, he knew that this battle would definitely not be as easy as they had expected before.

Jiang Hongfei immediately sent an order to Li Jun, asking Li Jun to send the 100,000 Goryeo troops prepared in advance to the Japanese battlefield.

Jiang Hongfei also sent an order to Le He, asking him to ensure the supplies of the army to attack Japan.

In fact, Li Jun and Le He were ready without Jiang Hongfei's instructions.

The reason why Li Jun and Le He were so active was,

Firstly, it must be because this was Jiang Hongfei's order, and they dared not neglect it;

Secondly, the Yuan Empire's attack on Japan would benefit the Jidi they controlled the most. After all, no matter what the Yuan army robbed from Japan, it had to be transported to Jidi first. Apart from anything else, the huge economic activities brought about by the population flow alone were enough to alleviate many of Jidi's financial problems.

What's more, Jiang Hongfei's attack on Japan was to solve the problem of the Yuan Empire (including Jidi) lacking money and food.

How could Li Jun and Le He not work hard?

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Hongfei also made an important instruction, that is, to carry forward the excellent traditions of the Yuan Empire, that is, to eliminate Japan's high officials, wealthy families, and gentry, and liberate Japan's civilians and slaves, exempt them from debts, distribute land and food, and pull them to the side of the Yuan Empire, turning this war into a war of liberation, rather than a war of aggression.

In fact, without Jiang Hongfei's words, Wen Huanzhang, Zhan Du, Yu Yunwen and others were also doing the same.

It's just that the people in Japan are too backward. Many people are like uncivilized savages. They don't understand what liberation means at all.

Wen Huanzhang and others can only teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so the political progress is a little slow.

A few days later, Ruan Xiaowu, Li Bao, and Yang Yizhong led the left-wing army to attack Dazaifu.

Dazaifu is the local administrative agency of Kyushu, Japan, equivalent to the local capital, and also equivalent to the secondary capital of Japan. It is the western capital of Japan connecting to the world.

In short, Dazaifu is extremely important and cannot be lost.

Therefore, the Japanese army had to organize 150,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with the left-wing army.

In this battle, Ruan Xiaowu was nominally the commander-in-chief, but in fact, Li Bao and Yang Yizhong were the commanders-in-chief.

In this battle, the Yuan army finally used its trump card, the Thunder Chariot, to defeat the Japanese army. In the end, only less than 30,000 Japanese soldiers fled to Shikoku, and the rest were killed or captured. Kyushu Island was thus included in the territory of the Yuan Empire.

At the same time, Yu Yunwen quickly organized the navy and civilians to transport the spiritual stones and grain from Kyushu back to Mino, and then to the Yuan Empire to solve the urgent problem.

What no one expected was that Japan was too rich. From Kyushu alone, Yu Yunwen and others looted more than 130 million spiritual stones and more than 10 million stones of grain.

It can be said that even if Ruan Xiaoer and his men stopped fighting, the Yuan Empire could make a big profit.

Ruan Xiaoer left some troops to clear the remnants of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island, and the East Route Army of the Left Route Army continued to attack Suofang and Nagato in the north, trying to completely open the door to Japan.

The West Route Army of the Left Route Army took the waterway to attack Shikoku Island with the East Route Army.

——If they can capture Shikoku Island, the Yuan army can counterattack from the rear to attack the strategic Suo and Nagato.

In short, whether it is the Eastern Route Army of the Left Route Army or the Western Route Army, as long as one of them can win, the door to Japan will be opened.

It has only been more than 20 days since the start of the war, and they have achieved such great results. It is not an exaggeration to say that the left-wing army is unstoppable.

But even so, Jiang Hongfei is still worried.

Where is the right-wing army?

According to the battle plan formulated before, the right-wing army should have completed the beheading, and at the very least, they should have been at the gates of Kyoto.

But now there is no news from the right-wing army.

Ruan Xiaoer has also lost contact with the right-wing army, otherwise he would not have failed to report the matter to Jiang Hongfei.

It can be said that Jiang Hongfei and his ministers are all worried about the right-wing army.

There is no way, that is a 100,000-strong army with a large number of talents from the Yuan Empire.

Moreover, what others don’t know is that several of Jiang Hongfei’s sons are also in the right-wing army.

If something happens to the right-wing army and the whole army is wiped out, it will be a big blow to the Yuan Empire and will also bring haze to the war against Japan.

At the same time, the envoys sent by the White River Dharma King also went to Ruan Xiaoer, Yuan Dadu and Hangzhou respectively.

Whether to fight or make peace, Ruan Xiaoer, including Wang Lun and Chen Ke of Yuan Dadu, only have the right to make suggestions, but no decision-making power at all. There is only one person who can make this decision.

This person is Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei's army has been sent out, and another army is still missing. How can he stop the war?

But the war between countries is not so simple. You have to fight when you should fight and talk when you should talk. What if you can't fight anymore?

After the Southern Song Dynasty was also destroyed by the Yuan Empire, the last Song officials also surrendered to the Yuan Empire.

This includes Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others who are close to Tong Guan.

After Tong Guan was killed by Zhang Jun and others, Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others were actually liquidated, especially Zhao Liangsi, who proposed to ally with Jin to destroy Liao and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Many Song officials believed that if Zhao Liangsi had not proposed to Tong Guan the strategy of joining Jin to destroy Liao and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Zhao Song Dynasty would not have broken with Liao. If the two countries continued to implement the "Chanyuan Alliance", Jiang Hongfei would not have taken the opportunity to attack them separately and finally destroyed both countries.

Zhao Liangsi was almost killed by Zhao Gou and his ministers for this.

Fortunately, at that time, a large number of Song officials surrendered to the Yuan Empire, which caused the Southern Song Dynasty to suffer a great loss of vitality and talent. Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other talents escaped this disaster.

Later, the Yuan Empire destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty. Jiang Hongfei not only pardoned Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others for their past crimes, but also believed that Zhao Liangsi's strategic strategy of joining Jin to destroy Liao and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was very insightful, and transferred Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo to the Honglu Temple to serve as "diplomats" of the Yuan Empire.

This time, Jiang Hongfei personally selected Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo to mediate between the envoys sent by Japan on behalf of the Yuan Empire...
