Chapter 635 Emissary
Chapter 635: Secret Envoy
Because of the rumors, both sides have actions, and what is important now is to see who moves faster, and the people they fight for are the Ming Dynasty.
In order not to let Hosokawa Katsumoto discover his actions, Ashikaga Yoshimasa did not immediately mobilize his troops to protect himself, but continued to stabilize. At the same time, at the suggestion of Yamana Shinto, he sent someone to secretly negotiate with Elang.
Almost at the same time, Hosokawa Katsumoto also sent someone to negotiate with Elang. One of the two agreed to was to replace Ashikaga Yoshimasa. Now for Hosokawa Katsumoto, the time is quite ripe.
Jianglang is now discussing the next battle plan with other generals of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there are two main ones. The first is to eliminate Yama Natsuki Tatsuki and continue to destroy Yama Natsuki Tatsuki and replace it. On the other hand, of course, it is to negotiate with Ashikaga Yoshimasa to divide the entire main island and govern it. However, the generals below are a little puzzled about the last idea. Relying on their current troops, it is actually a matter of time to defeat Hosokawa Katsumoto.
Of course, Jiang Lang knew that, but there was another issue involved, that is, governance. If all of these people were killed and the Ming Dynasty came to rule the place completely, then they would definitely face continuous harassment. After all, they were considered a country that was destroyed, but if this Ashikaga Yoshima was his puppet, it would be a different matter.
Therefore, Jiang Lang's thought was to use the original troops of the Komu Army to establish a puppet regime, and in this short period of time, vigorously implementing new policies, just like in Washu, to achieve an excessive peace. Another point is to vigorously implement the Chinese policy among them, fundamentally brainwashing, just like in Korea, because it was originally a colony of Komu, it still had the shadow of Komu culture.
However, for these generals, most of them were thinking about how to eliminate the Koumu Army cleanly. As for the other problems, well, that was the problem of civil officials. If there was any rebellion, they just needed to lead troops to suppress them.
However, their General Wang was not what they thought. Even if it was a war, it would have to be far-sighted.
After discussing it, no problem was discussed, so Jiang Lang asked everyone to go down first, then rubbed his temples and walked out slowly.
As soon as he walked to the door, Sun Yuanbiao came to report: "Sir, we have just captured a few Kogi Jun. They said they were the special envoys of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa!"
"Ashikaga Yoshimasa?"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but be surprised and asked again: "Are you sure they are Ashikaga Yoshimasa?"
Sun Yuanbiao nodded and said, "Yes, they said they are indeed Ashikaga Yoshimasa, but there is no way to confirm whether it is specific now!"
Jianglang couldn't help but touch his chin, thought about it carefully, and then said, "If Ashikaga Yoshimasato, why did he come to us? Hosokawa Katsumoto's troops have not moved at all, so he should still have his own strength!"
"Sir, is it the reason for the rumors?"
Sun Yuanbiao carefully reminded him next to him.
When Jiang Lang heard this, he immediately realized something and nodded, "It's entirely possible. Now it seems that it's Ashikaga Yoshimasato was panicked. He probably was worried that Katsumoto Hosokawa would do him, so he came to discuss it with us!"
“Isn’t he afraid of us?”
Sun Yuanbiao couldn't help but wonder.
Jiang Lang laughed and said, "No matter how you say he is also a shogun, but this Kiko Army is the highest and the final commander. Hosokawa Katsumoto is just a daimyo. He is not much more useful than Hosokawa Katsumoto, at least it is legitimate!"
Sun Yuanbiao also understood what Jiang Lang meant, but he still asked with some concern: "But, wouldn't this Hosokawa Katsumoto say that we are not trustworthy?"
Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "These allies are used for use. In front of us, there are only eternal enemies, no eternal allies. Besides, will Hosokawa Katsumoto still speak loudly and say that we are not trustworthy? In that case, we may not care at all. Anyway, we are invaders, but he is different. Now, even if he breaks his teeth, he can only swallow it into his mouth!"
After saying that, Jiang Lang looked behind his back and said, "Take me to see if these people are Ashikaga Yoshimasaki. If Ashikaga Yoshimasaki really wants to negotiate with us, then it will really help me a lot!"
Sun Yuanbiao was still a little confused about what Jiang Lang said to be busy, but he followed Jiang Lang honestly and walked forward.
The people caught were placed in a camp, and the guards were all Jiang Lang's personal guards, so there was no need to worry about someone leaking the secret. After walking in, Jiang Lang saw that there were three men inside, tied up, one of them was middle-aged, and the other two were very young.
Several soldiers were staring at them.
"You are the ones sent by Ashikaga Yoshimasa?"
Jiang Lang asked lightly in a mute language.
The three people showed a look of shock on their faces, and then the middle-aged man in the middle said, "Yes, we officially sent by His Excellency General, am I Yama Nakaki Shifeng?"
"Mountain name Jifeng?"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but be shocked and looked at the man in front of him who claimed to be Shanming Jifeng. He was not of a big age. Perhaps in order to find himself smoothly, his clothes were very ordinary. However, although he was in the enemy camp now, he was not afraid at all, and there was no look of fear on his face, which showed a kind of general style.
So he smiled slightly, believed him for the time being, waved his hand and said, "Come on, loosen your ties and prepare wine and food at the same time!"
The soldiers standing behind the three of them immediately gave Yamashiki Katsuki.
Jiang Lang apologized: "I'm really sorry. I don't know that it was Lord Daming who came here in person. I don't know the people below. If there is any negligence, please bear with me!"
Yama Nakaki Chifeng moved his hands and feet, then said, "You look like you are just a young general. I want to see your supreme commander, well, you seem to be called General Wang!"
"I am!"
Jiang Lang said with a smile, why should these people be the same age in their eyes?
"What?"
Like others, no one expected that the Ming Dynasty commander was so young. Yama Nakaki's face was full of surprise, and he didn't believe it. The person who forced himself to the end of his life was such a young man.
However, in surprise, Yama Nakaki Shifeng immediately returned to normal and said, "Are you the commander of the Ming Dynasty?"
Jiang Lang nodded and answered honestly: "I am indeed, all my hundreds of thousands of soldiers can prove this. So, I wonder why Daming came this time? Now we are both hostile sides, and there are many people who may have been killed by mistake."
Yamana Shitotsu said with a serious look on his face, "I naturally know this, but since I am here, of course I am not afraid of death. And this time I come, I am here on behalf of Lord Ashikaga!"
After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it up, and said, "Please check it out!"
Jiang Lang took the letter and opened it. After opening it, he looked carefully. There were a lot of compliments in the front of the letter, and the truth behind it was, that is, he hoped that the two sides could negotiate!
It was already a painful back and forth, but now I have to flatter my enemies. It must be a bad feeling. However, Jiang Lang didn't care about it, but what he cared about was what Ashikaga Yoshimasa wanted to do. So he pondered for a moment, put away the letter, and asked: "So, Mr. Daming, are you talking about your request in detail? If we think it is OK, it is acceptable. If it is not suitable, both sides still have room for negotiation! Come on, please sit down and talk."
Jiang Lang said this very politely. As the defeated side, Yama Nakaki Tsubaki was not easy to refute. After sitting down honestly, he said: "God of General, I don't talk much nonsense. We can give up resistance now and let you enter the city, but you cannot kill my people and soldiers. At the same time, we must also ensure the safety of us and Ashikaga!"
"This is no problem!"
Jiang Lang agreed very readily, "I can restrain my soldiers so that they will not harm your people, but under the premise, your people cannot take the lead in attacking us. Once an attack occurs, we will defend ourselves and counterattack! If casualties are caused at that time, we will not be responsible. We have an old saying, "The so-called "If someone does not offend me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me, I will offend others!"
Yama Nakaki Shitoshi nodded and said, "I remember what you said, and after I go back, I will naturally strictly demand my people. We will recognize your legal possession of Kyushu Island!"
