Chapter 134 Coup!The Ming army seized power in the Southern Dynasties!
The old slave in the tent was so frightened that he shrank into a ball.
Mu Dong looked at Zhao Shenyan: "What should I do, general?"
The old slave looked at Zhao Shenyan with pleading eyes.
Because he knew that if Zhao Shenyan handed him over, he would definitely die.
After all, their master had just been dealt with by them.
Zhao Shenyan thought for a while: "You guys go to the back first!"
Mu Dong took the old slave and hid in the back.
Then Zhao Shenyan said to the translator: "Ask him to come in!"
The translator was also from the Ming Dynasty, so he nodded and went out.
Not long after, the gentleman from the winter melon mountain came in from outside.
As soon as he came in, he cupped his hands and fists at Zhao Shenyan with a smile on his face.
Two people standing together are like children standing in front of adults.
This gentleman at the foot of the mountain looks like a big wine barrel, short, fat, and round.
Yamashita Masato complimented Zhao Shenyan, and then talked about some of the customs and customs of the Japanese slaves.
Then the conversation changed and he said directly: "General Zhao, you have worked so hard but you are not reused in the Ming Dynasty, and you are sent to fight in such a distant place. Are you willing in your heart?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shenyan felt wary.
Mu Dong, who was hiding behind, also increased his vigilance and showed a sneer at the same time.
Nothing else, just this sentence showed that this guy actually wanted to bribe Zhao Shenyan.
They guys may not know that Zhao Shenyan was single-handedly promoted by his adoptive father, Mu Ying, and stayed with his adoptive father for decades, from the founding of the country to guarding Yunnan.
Otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with the important task of coming to Japan.
In fact, it's not that Zhao Shenyan can't be promoted, but that he doesn't want to. He wants to stay with his adoptive father.
Sure enough, Zhao Shenyan immediately showed disgust after hearing this: "Yamashita Daimyo, what do you mean by this?"
Masato Yamashita smiled and said: "My Majesty intends to recruit the general to be the great general of our country. The position will be lower than one person and higher than ten thousand, with countless lands and unlimited rewards. Isn't it better to be a mere general in the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhao Shenyan almost kicked him out, but he held back his anger.
I really didn't expect that these guys could be so shameless. I had just helped them, and they were trying to bribe me.
Could he be that disloyal? However, Zhao Shenyan is not a simple person. If he refuses directly, he will not know what plans these people have to deal with him.
If they agreed on the spot, these people would definitely wonder if it was too easy, and instead be wary.
So Zhao Shenyan let out a long sigh and pretended to test: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. What you want is just Mr. Zhao?"
Masato Yamashita smiled: "It would be even better if the general could teach you a thing or two about firearms manufacturing skills!"
Oh! !
Zhao Shenyan and Mu Dong inside suddenly realized that what these dwarfs valued was the Ming army's firearms technology.
Now Zhao Shenyan felt confident and pretended to be embarrassed: "I can't say anything about such a big matter alone. Can you allow me to discuss it with my subordinates and then give an answer?"
Sure enough, Masato Yamashita also felt that this was the attitude to do great things.
If you agree too decisively, they should think about it.
Now that Zhao Shenyan said this, he felt that there was something interesting about it.
So he didn't stay any longer and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Mu Dong came out from behind the tent: "I really didn't expect that this Japanese slave from the Southern Dynasty would have such a big appetite and want to bribe us? General, what are your plans?"
Zhao Shenyan called out the translator and the old slave Matsushita Ijiro.
"These little devils took advantage of me to wait in front, and now they still want to get the firearms manufacturing technology. It's ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!" Zhao Shenyan sneered.
Mu Dong was a little worried: "General, now that we are far away from our homeland, we still need their support for food and salary. If we are not afraid of thieves stealing, we are afraid of being missed by thieves. What can we do now?"
Zhao Shenyan's eyes were cold and he took out a secret order from his pocket: "This is the secret order given by Mu Shuailin when he set off!"
Mu Dong took it and was surprised: "Take the opportunity to annex the Southern Dynasty!"
Zhao Shenyan paced back and forth in the tent: "Mr. Chen means to let the Ming Dynasty unite with the Japanese slaves from the Southern Dynasty to attack the Northern Dynasty, so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty attacking from the north can land better and dig out silver and gold mines more smoothly.
Your Majesty and the others have even more brilliant ideas. They took advantage of the opportunity of aiding the Southern Dynasty to take advantage of the chaos to seize the power of the Southern Dynasty, thereby opening up a gap to attack the Japanese slaves. What we have in front of us now is a good move. "
Mu Dong was very interested after hearing this: "This is a dangerous move. General, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Shenyan pondered for a long time and finally said: "Since they intend to bribe us, we can take the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the terrain, preferably their palace, and then control their emperor and thus the entire Southern Dynasty."
Mu Dong suddenly thought: "Do you want to do what Dong Zhuo did?"
Zhao Shenyan smiled tacitly.
What did Dong Zhuo do at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?
He led troops from Xiliang to the capital, controlled the emperor, deposed the young emperor and established Emperor Xian Liu Xie, so that the power was firmly in his hands.
Although the Southern Dynasty now only has a few thousand troops and can be easily wiped out, once a fight breaks out, the entire Southern Dynasty will understand that they are not here to aid, but to invade.
They will definitely resist to the death, and it will be disadvantageous for Zhao Shenyan and his team to play away from home.
……
So in the following time, Zhao Shenyan not only helped the Southern Dynasty capture several more cities.
The most important thing he did was to take Mu Dong in and out of the palace, and distribute the gold and silver he received from the emperor to the guards guarding the palace without hesitation.
Mu Dong thus had the opportunity to get close to the guards and learn the secrets of the palace.
During this period, Zhao Shenyan also repeatedly negotiated with Masato Yamashita and Emperor Go-Kameyama on the conditions for selling the technology.
After more than half a month of this, after Zhao Shenyan negotiated every day with Emperor Gogeyama and Masato Yamashita, it was finally agreed to go to the palace for final confirmation on the second day of July in the 24th year of Hongwu.
During this half month, Zhao Shenyan succeeded in convincing Emperor Gogeyama and Masato Yamashita through his attitude towards status, money, and beauties that Zhao Shenyan had indeed received a lot of unequal treatment in the Ming Dynasty.
So now he is very eager to stay in Southern Dynasty.
What Zhao Shenyan proposed was that if he stayed in the Japanese slaves in the Southern Dynasty, the Japanese slaves must ensure that they could bring all their relatives to the Japanese slaves in the southern Dynasty through diplomatic relations.
Emperor Go-Kameyama and the others swore this promise.
On the night of the first day of July in the 24th year of Hongwu.
Zhao Shenyan and Emperor Gogeyama met for a drink at the palace.
Emperor Gokuyama had long regarded Zhao Shenyan as his general in the Southern Dynasties, and his guards had long been familiar with them.
Mu Dong's daily reward of golden beans made them pay no attention to Zhao Shenyan and the more than 20 guards around him.
In the past, anyone who entered the palace had to be searched, and the rule that no iron guy could be brought in was forgotten.
The palace of the Southern Dynasties.
Zhao Shenyan led Mu Dong and twenty skilled guards, armed with weapons, to the palace gate.
"See General Zhao!" The palace guard leader even respected Zhao Shenyan very much.
Two first is that they have only been in the Japanese slaves' Southern Dynasty for half a month, but they have already made many extraordinary achievements, helping them recover eight cities and killing more than 1 Northern Dynasty rebels, which shocked the entire Japanese slaves.
The rebels of the Northern Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, all knew that the Southern Dynasty had come to the aid of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not dare to underestimate the Southern Dynasty.
The second is that Zhao Shenyan really knows how to be a good person. Every time he gets a reward, he takes great care of the guards in the palace. He is always rewarded with golden beans. Of course, he must be polite when taking money from others.
The guard leader came forward to salute. Just as he lowered his head, Mu Dong suddenly stepped forward and stabbed a sharp dagger into his heart.
Mu Dong was two heads taller than him, and much stronger than him. He wanted to scream, but Mu Dong covered his mouth, making him unable to scream.
He never expected that Mu Dong, who was so peaceful before, would suddenly take action.
After Mu Dong killed the guard leader, he waved his hand, and twenty highly skilled guards were already familiar with the palace guards of the palace. After they eliminated the guards guarding the palace one by one, he whistled, and more than 1000 soldiers filed in. After entering, two hundred soldiers took over the palace city.
Then Zhao Shenyan led Mu Dong and [-] soldiers all the way in, killing everyone who stood in the way.
Fortunately, the palace of the Southern Dynasty was not big. After killing dozens of guards, it did not cause any big noise and allowed him to arrive at the Rende Hall of the Southern Dynasty Palace smoothly.
At this time, Emperor Go Kameyama was still dreaming about getting Zhao Shenyan's firearm technology soon. He was drinking by himself, and no one told him that Zhao Shenyan had already entered the palace.
Outside Rende Hall.
Tuk Tuk Tuk…
The guard outside knocked on the door of the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, General Zhao... Zhao... is here!"
Emperor Gogeyama didn't even notice that the guard outside was vibrating when he spoke, and even shouted from inside: "General Zhao is here, why don't you let him in quickly!"
The door creaked open.
The candlelight was dim and it was impossible to see clearly.
Emperor Gogeyama could only see Zhao Shenyan, who was tall and mighty with his back to the moonlight, and seemed to be holding a knife in his hand.
A gust of wind blew in, and the heavy smell of blood instantly hit my nose.
pat! ! After Emperor Gogameyama smelled the smell of blood, he dropped the cup in his hand on the carpet.
"Is that you, General Zhao?" Emperor Gogeyama still couldn't believe it.
After all, they had a pleasant conversation before and even discussed the conditions for their surrender.
But why suddenly he felt extremely uneasy.
Da da da……
Zhao Shenyan entered the main hall, followed by Mu Dong and others.
Everyone smells like blood.
After entering, the six guards in the palace were frightened and did not dare to approach.
They were originally very afraid of these guys who were two heads taller than them.
Not to mention that Zhao Shenyan and the others still smelled so heavily of blood.
Zhao Shenyan slowly approached Emperor Gogeyama and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't you want me to surrender to you? Now that the end has come, what are you afraid of?"
When Emperor Gogameyama saw him like this, he was so frightened that he took a step back in panic, tripped over a chair and fell to the ground.
Zhao Shenyan took the opportunity to step forward and look at him condescendingly. There was still blood on his face, and it looked like Emperor Kameyama had seen a ghost.
"What do you want? I'll give you whatever you want! Just don't kill me!"
Zhao Shenyan smiled and said: "How could it be possible? Your Majesty, our relationship has always been very good. Just like the time you were planning to flee south half a month ago and wanted my Ming army to be your scapegoat, didn't we obediently do it?"
Boom!
Emperor Kameyama was astonished as soon as these words came out.
He thought that if Jing Erlang died, no one would leak the matter easily.
But how did Zhao Shenyan know? Emperor Gogeyama hurriedly made excuses: "General Zhao, listen to me. At that time, I always insisted that the Ming army could win the war. It was my ministers who did not believe it and insisted on escaping.
Yes... they insisted on leaving, especially Masato Yamashita, the daimyo of Tosa Province, who even encouraged me to escape. "
Zhao Shenyan smiled and said: "If that's the case, then His Majesty declares him to be admitted to the palace. How about we ask him face to face?"
If it is really Masato Yamashita's fault, let's just punish him once. "
Emperor Go Kameyama could only nod his head, "Okay, okay... let him enter the palace, I will declare him to enter the palace..."
Zhao Shenyan knew that this guy was in a critical condition and sought medical treatment. He just wanted to find someone to back him up, and he didn't even have time to think about whether he would deal with Masato Yamashita or whether he would deal with him.
……
An hour later.
Masato Yamashita came in from outside the palace. He never expected that someone would actually deal with him in the palace.
He thought it was just the Emperor who asked him to come over for a chat.
How could he have imagined that such a situation would be waiting for him.
He came unsuspectingly to the palace that had been cleaned up by the Ming army. He didn't even notice that the guards who had not been killed were trembling.
Da Lala Lala entered the Hall of Rende.
"Your Majesty, why are you summoned late at night?"
Masato Yamashita was a little confused, and suddenly he heard someone closing the main hall door behind him.
Masato Yamashita turned around and saw Mu Dong standing behind him with a bloody face and a knife in his hand.
Seeing him turn around, Mu Dong sneered and stepped forward.
Emperor Kameyama looked stern and said, "Bold Masato Yamashita, you instigated the officials to flee, abandoned the Ming army, and instigated me to bribe the generals of the Ming army. It is an unpardonable crime. You have not confessed!"
No matter how stupid Yamashita Masato was, he knew what was going on. Just as he was about to quibble, Mu Dong stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
Zhao Shenyan also came out at this time: "You two monarchs are really interesting. We, the Ming Dynasty, are helping you, but you actually dare to secretly use such tactics to deal with us. How do you think we should deal with you?"
Masato Yamashita shouted: "General Zhao, this is all a misunderstanding. I can surrender. I can surrender. The Southern Dynasty says it belongs to the imperial court, but actually the territory belongs to our Yamashita family. I can give up all my rights and just beg for my life!"
At this time, Masato Yamashita had nothing to say, even if he tried to frame Emperor Kameyama, he couldn't do it.
This is what Zhao Shenyan wanted, and his goal was achieved by taking down Yamashita Masato and Queen Houguishan.
So the next morning.
The emperor announced that Zhao Shenyan was the general marshal in charge of the troops of the Southern Dynasties.
At the same time, he announced that Masato Yamashita was a deceitful person who deceived the emperor and even conspired to assassinate the emperor. The guards last night were killed by their servants.
If the Ming army hadn't helped him, the emperor, he would have died.
Masato Yamashita also cried bitterly and reflected on himself in front of the ministers, and vowed to face his mistakes in the palace and hand over all his rights to Zhao Shenyan.
It was precisely because of the Ming army's life-saving grace that Zhao Shenyan was canonized as a general.
The emperor himself said that after last night's assassination, he was too frightened and temporarily handed over all government affairs to Zhao Shenyan. He wanted to rest for a while.
Although the ministers were all doubtful, they did smell the strong smell of blood when they went to court the next day. Zhao Shenyan had become a general again inexplicably. They probably knew what was going on.
But now that the Yamashita clan's territory and army are under the control of the Ming army, they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb...
