The most arrogant in history

Zhuge Hong knew Ye Kun's intention. As it was not easy to deal with the issue of the red seal and iron certificate, he suggested to do it slowly. He should let Yan Zixiao pay tribute first, and then say that the imperial court was in financial difficulties and ordered him to hand over three million taels of silver to see how he would respond.

Ye Kun agreed with Zhuge Hong's opinion and asked Ye Feng to issue the edict.

Jiang Yourong and others are not in charge of government affairs.

The old sisters felt more at ease when they arrived on Izu Island. They drank and played cards every day, admired flowers and chatted, or went out of the city to enjoy the scenery and taste fresh fruits and delicacies.

Ye Lesheng was very filial. Knowing that his father was concerned about state affairs, he often asked him for advice on how to govern the country so that his father would not be idle and suffer from dementia.

Ishu Island is a small place and there are not many government affairs.

Ye Kun handled it as easily as a butcher slaughtering an ox.

But when it comes to military affairs, Ye Kun does not allow Ye Lesheng to overdevelop.

If they are too powerful, their descendants will establish themselves as kings and fight against the Chinese imperial court.

Ten days later, Ye Feng sent another telegram, saying that Yan Zixiao disobeyed the order and only agreed to pay a tribute of 100,000 taels of silver, on the grounds that the gold and silver mines in Fuso Nagashima had been mined out and were gone!

Ye Kun understood and called Ye Feng back: "Prepare the navy immediately. One month later, we will set out from Tianjin Port and approach Yan Zixiao. Inform the governor of Donghua Peninsula to prepare troops and food.

I will personally lead the navy of Yizhou Island to the north of Donghua Peninsula, and the three armed forces will unite to severely punish Yan Zixiao!"

The southernmost large island of Fuso Nagashima, now renamed Zhenhua Island.

The administrative level of Zhenhua Island is higher than that of a province, and a governor is appointed.

The current governor is Ma Zhao's youngest son, Ma Changyu.

Because Ye Kun was also wary of the Yan family, he attached great importance to the construction of Zhenhua Island.

Ma Changyu is one of their own and can intimidate Yan Zixiao.

When Ye Feng received the telegram, he immediately replied, dispatched troops and arranged to attack Yan Zixiao.

In mid-April, Ye Kun planned to send troops.

Ye Lesheng dissuaded him, "Father is old, why should he travel across the ocean for Yan Zixiao? Let me go, I promise to bring Yan Zixiao's entire family to you!"

Jiang Yourong and others were also worried.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I am personally leading the troops there to show my determination. Donghua Changdao will always be my Chinese territory, and no one can secede from it.

I went north from Iju Island. Along the way, there are the Dongyang Islands. We can dock at any time. It is very safe. We have thirteen small ports on the islands, and we can provide supplies. You don't have to worry. "

Ye Lesheng was still worried: "Father, I will accompany you and take good care of you along the way."

"No, I have Tan Jingang and Lu Qiangguo with me, so it will be absolutely fine."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "If I really die on Donghua Changdao, then bury me there. Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, so why should I return home wrapped in horsehide?"

Lu Qiangguo and Tan Jingang also repeatedly assured: "With us here, we can definitely guarantee the safety of the emperor!"

Ye Lesheng had no choice but to nod.

Unexpectedly, before Ye Kun launched his rebellion, he received an emergency telegram from Ma Changyu of Zhenhua Island.

Yan Zixiao actually knew about the court's actions, and took action in advance, leading more than 50,000 troops to attack Zhenhua Island!

Ma Changyu was caught off guard and suffered a defeat, with more than a thousand people killed and two small cities lost!

Ye Kun was furious and gritted his teeth, "If Yan Zixiao dares to be disrespectful, I will tear him into pieces!"

Ever since Ye Kun pacified the Central Plains, no prince has dared to openly rebel.

Although Gongsun Shangfei and Zhao Biao had rebellious intentions at that time, they were eventually forced to admit their mistakes to Ye Kun under pressure.

Yan Zixiao is the first person to betray in the past thirty years!

Ye Kun wrote back to Ma Changyu: "If you can hold on, hold on. If you can't, take your men and money and retreat step by step. My three armies have already set out and will arrive at Zhenhua Island soon. We will definitely inflict a heavy blow on Yan Zixiao!"

At the same time, Ye Feng also received an emergency telegram, ordering the vanguard team to set off immediately!

The vanguard team of 3,000 people, equipped with machine guns and rockets, was extremely powerful.

The governor of Jizui Peninsula, who was closer to Donghua Changdao, quickly dispatched troops to attack Yan Zixiao's rear.

Yan Zixiao also knew that he could not stop Ye Kun's three armies, plus the garrison on Zhenhua Island, that was a four-army army. So after Yan Zixiao's small victory, he immediately returned to defend.

Ma Changyu also breathed a sigh of relief, reorganized his troops, prepared food and supplies, and waited for Ye Kun to arrive.

Four days later, Ye Kun led 3,000 of his personal soldiers and 3,000 marines from Iju Island and arrived at Zhenhua Island.

Ma Changyu stepped forward and kowtowed, asking for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have suffered heavy casualties. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Ye Kun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Victory and defeat are common in the military, what's the crime?"

This is Ma Zhao's son. Ye Kun, thinking of their old friendship, couldn't bear to hold him accountable.

Besides, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with Yan Zixiao, not to hold Ma Changyu responsible!

Ma Changyu then stood up and sighed, "I didn't expect that Yan Ju and the emperor had a good beginning and a good end, and the monarch and his subjects were in harmony, but his son was so rebellious and openly rebelled. I got the news that he has established his own "Da Yan" country and ascended the throne to become emperor."

"It's just a monkey in human clothing."

Ye Kun laughed and said, "Yan Zixiao has been on Donghua Island for more than 20 years. He has lived in peace for a long time and has never seen a sword. He thought that Donghua Island is surrounded by the sea and the terrain is complicated. The court cannot attack, so he is fearless."

Ma Changyu nodded: "That's right. Yan Zixiao once said that if the court wanted to destroy him, at least one million troops would be needed to bury him. The worst result would be a fight to the death, with both sides suffering losses!"

Ye Kun laughed: "That's because he didn't see our machine guns and rocket launchers!"

In recent years, Ye Kun’s new weapons have never been displayed in Donghua Changdao.

Although the annual national situation report included information about the progress of weapons, Yan Zixiao felt that this was just a scare tactic by the imperial court. He did not believe in machine guns or long-range rockets.

Yan Zixiao also knew how to make black gunpowder and matching guns and cannons. With these, he felt he could establish his own control over Donghua Changdao.

Ye Kun was not in a hurry to attack. He first reorganized his troops and waited for the other two armies.

Three days later, all three armies were in place, and Ye Kun gave the order to launch a general attack.

One army harassed Yan Zixiao's rear, while the other two armies pushed forward from south to north.

Wherever they went, the Chinese people on the island responded by opening the passes and city gates to welcome the imperial troops.

In the Nakajima city controlled by Yan Zixiao, members of the Mohist Alliance also launched a riot, starting a civil war mode in response to the court's actions.

In just twelve days, Yan Zixiao's situation was hopeless and he was trapped in the city of Nakajima.

However, the action of the Mohist Alliance in the city failed, and more than 300 people were killed by Yan Zixiao.

There were also some officials and common people who were close to the court who were not killed.

For a time, the city of Nakajima was filled with blood and gore, like hell.

Ye Kun’s troops arrived at the city gates and surrounded the Nakajima Castle.

Lu Qiangguo made a call to the city through a large radio:

"Yan Zixiao, the imperial court has sent 100,000 troops, and the emperor is leading the army in person, and you still don't surrender? If you surrender now, the emperor can spare the lives of your entire family!

If you dare to resist, our army will fire all the cannons at once, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city will become cannon fodder!"
