On the strait, several ironclad ships sailed slowly.

The target of these armored ships was Hokkaido in the north. Li Dingguo stood on the frontmost warship, looking at the sea ahead with a serious face.

A few days ago, Zhao Dading dispatched Li Dingguo's troops and led his troops to attack Tokugawa Iemitsu for the final blow.

When issuing this order, the other officers were extremely unbalanced.

At present, Tokugawa Iemitsu has nothing left, and a team of a hundred people can wipe it out.

Before attacking Tokugawa Iemitsu, countless soldiers and officers pleaded with Zhao Dading to attack Tokugawa Iemitsu.

As long as you can win Tokugawa Iemitsu, that is a great achievement.

Now, the war in the Wa country is coming to an end, and after taking Tokugawa Iemitsu, there will be no credit for it.

In the future, it will not be so easy to make meritorious service.

Everyone is staring at the last chance, and no one is willing to let it go.

When Zhao Dading said that Li Dingguo was going to attack Tokugawa Iemitsu, the hearts of the other officers and soldiers were almost broken.

For a while, Li Dingguo became the target of public criticism.

At the beginning, Li Dingguo didn't want to go, but under Zhao Dading's strong order, he had no choice but to lead the soldiers there.

He knew very well that as long as he took Tokugawa Iemitsu by himself, he would become the target of public criticism. At that time, the situation would not be good.

But he had no choice but to take orders to go.

Behind him are the soldiers from the Wa country under his command, they account for the vast majority, and they can be said to be his main force.

In the establishment of Zhao Dading's army, he can only be regarded as a second-rate. No matter how you look at it, such a major event as the destruction of Tokugawa Iemitsu would never fall on him, but in the end, he never expected that it would actually be handed over to him. .

Li Dingguo didn't understand for a while, why Zhao Dading entrusted him with such an important matter, did he trust himself so much?

Or did he have other ideas?

Li Dingguo doesn't think he can't defeat Tokugawa Iemitsu. In fact, the current Tokugawa Iemitsu has reached the point where he has run out of ammunition and food. Even a small army can defeat Tokugawa Iemitsu. Down.

What Li Dingguo didn't understand was that taking Tokugawa Iemitsu was a great achievement, and the relationship between Li Dingguo and Zhao Dading was not that close. He couldn't figure out why he should give such a big credit to himself?

From Li Dingguo's point of view, if he were Zhao Dading, he would definitely give such a big credit to his better subordinates instead of him.

After thinking for a long time, he didn't understand what Zhao Dading's purpose was. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and stopped thinking about this issue.

The ship moved forward slowly, and soon after, it finally came to the coast in the south of Hokkaido.

The ship released the landing boat, and densely packed soldiers rushed towards the coastline in the boat.

Tokugawa Iemitsu left a certain amount of guards here, but these guards looked like ragged beggars, they had no fighting power at all, and they ran away when they saw them, and they didn't dare to resist at all.

Li Dingguo landed on the land of Hokkaido, he quickly assembled the soldiers in his hands, and then led them towards the place where Tokugawa Iemitsu was.

Because Li Dingguo's soldiers were not the elite of Zhao Dading, they did not have such powerful weapons, nor did they have tanks or trucks. They could only rely on their own legs and move forward on foot.

But this is nothing to Li Dingguo, he has long been used to it during the time he was a thief.

The number of soldiers in Li Dingguo's hands is about 1, of which [-] soldiers are serious elites, soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The remaining 9000 people were warriors and young adults recruited or recruited by Li Dingguo from the Wa Kingdom.

The weapons used by these warriors and young men are basically broadswords and spears, or waist knives issued by the army.

And the weapons used by those thousand elites are basically powerful firearms, and they even have a certain number of cannons.

In other words, the combat power erupted by these one thousand soldiers far exceeds that of these nine thousand warriors.

With this arrangement, even if the [-] Japanese warriors and Qing Zhuang were disobedient, it would not cause too much turmoil.

In fact, these Japanese warriors and young men had no intention of rebelling at all. Although their status was far lower than before, their treatment was much better than before.

In the past, although they were all high-ranking samurai, their treatment was not very good. They could not eat white noodles a few times throughout the year, and they were always ready to fight for Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Working for Tokugawa Iemitsu may not necessarily lead to good results. Tokugawa Iemitsu is a very ruthless person. He may not remember his achievements, but he will never forget them if he makes a mistake.

Tokugawa Iemitsu worked hard to fight the war, and they had to find their own way to deal with all the weapons and equipment.

If you are injured, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

But as soldiers under Li Dingguo, they don't have so many worries at all. They just need to follow Li Dingguo's footsteps, attack cities and conquer territories, and make meritorious deeds. They don't need to consider other issues. After all, the supply chain in the army is sufficient.

Even if they are injured, there will be corresponding military doctors to diagnose and treat them. They don't need to worry at all, and they have no worries at all.

There is even a very perfect promotion route, class solidification does not exist at all, as long as they work hard, as long as they dare to fight and kill, a bright future lies ahead of them.

Now these samurai are striding forward to attack Tokugawa Iemitsu. They didn't hesitate because Tokugawa Iemitsu used to be their immediate boss, and they were even full of excitement.

These pirate warriors wished they could cut off Tokugawa Iemitsu's head right away, and reward them.

Li Dingguo led these troops without stopping for a moment. They kept running day and night, and they were getting closer and closer to the place where Tokugawa Iemitsu was.

Outside Tokugawa Iemitsu's garrison, although there are some wandering sentries and defensive soldiers and horses, they are very few in number, and they are all some shabby beggar soldiers. It is a joke to expect them to discover Li Dingguo and the others in advance.

Not long after, Li Dingguo led the troops to the outskirts of Tokugawa Iemitsu's garrison.

……

The sun continued to brew below the horizon, and dawn finally pierced the dark night sky.

Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't sleep at night and woke up early. He wandered aimlessly in the resident, thinking about his future and his future.

He thought of surrender, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to commit suicide, and he didn't want to be martyred.

In his opinion, surrender is his only way now.

Huddled in this barren place, even if Zhao Dading doesn't call, he has no hope. Sooner or later, these soldiers under him will all collapse, and when that time really comes, he will not end well.

The sun finally rose above the horizon, the sky and the earth became brighter, and all the darkness had been dispelled. Tokugawa Iemitsu took a deep breath of the morning air.

Just when his mood was about to improve, a samurai dressed in rags rushed from the front in a hurry.

With blood on his face, he looked terrified, like a sheep meeting a pack of wolves.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at this samurai, and his heart skipped a beat.

Hastily asked: "What happened, why are you so flustered? Where did the blood on your face come from?"

The samurai hurriedly came to Tokugawa Iemitsu, and immediately shouted: "General, it's not good, call those damned ones!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu panicked for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "What? What did you say? Who called, who called, and where did they go?"

"My lord, it's those damned Qin people, those damned Qin people, they're coming, they're coming!" The warrior shouted even more panicked.

The samurai shouted loudly, and finally ran away without looking back, leaving Tokugawa Iemitsu here alone.

While Tokugawa Iemitsu was still in a daze, many soldiers with waist knives suddenly appeared in front of him.

Although these soldiers were wearing Daqin military uniforms, they were short in stature and hideous in appearance, and they were still yelling indiscriminately. After listening carefully, Tokugawa Iemitsu found that these people were yelling in the language of the Japanese country.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's face darkened in an instant, and he also knew the origin of these people.

These people, those warriors who betrayed him a long time ago, have all become his enemies now.

Tokugawa Iemitsu did not hesitate, turned around and ran in an instant, fearing that he would run too slowly.

Tokugawa Iemitsu ran all the way and hurried to the station. He did not choose to call up soldiers to resist, but packed up his things and fled hurriedly with a few confidants.

He was able to escape from Shengtian before because Zhao Dading didn't want to deal with him, but now he is not so lucky.

Just a few steps after running out, a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them, and the leader was none other than Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo led his personal guards and stopped Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"Want to leave? It's not that simple!" Li Dingguo's face was gloomy.

Li Dingguo had never met Tokugawa Iemitsu, and he didn't know what he looked like, but he had many soldiers who came over from Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"My lord, he is Tokugawa Iemitsu, he is the Shogun!"

A follower standing beside Li Dingguo pointed at Tokugawa Iemitsu and shouted, his eyes were full of light.

"It turns out that he is the famous Tokugawa Iemitsu. I thought he had several heads and arms!" Li Dingguo smiled.

"You damned, what do you want!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu yelled frantically, he wanted to use this method to cover up his inner fear.

Li Dingguo didn't pay attention at all, and led his personal guards, constantly reducing the encirclement.

"You damn thing, give me to die!"

A samurai standing beside Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly brandished a rusty samurai sword and rushed towards Li Dingguo.

His face was ferocious, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Looking at it like that, he wished he could split Li Dingguo in half.

Li Dingguo smiled contemptuously, raised the pistol he was holding tightly in his hand, and shot the warrior.

"Oh!"

The gunshot rang out, and the bullet penetrated into the guard's chest and passed out from his back, directly killing him.

Blood splattered Tokugawa Iemitsu's face, causing him to scream in fright.

"What age is it, still learning the way it was before? It's ridiculous!"

Li Dingguo said contemptuously, and finally gave the order to attack.

The surrounding guards rushed towards Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately.

Seeing the soldiers rushing towards him, Tokugawa Iemitsu panicked all of a sudden.

He tightly held the samurai sword in his hand, but he dared not draw it out for a long time, he was afraid that once he pulled out the sword in his hand, he would suffer a devastating blow.

Just as he was vacillating, the guards guarding him died tragically again. In a short period of time, several of them had already died.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, and there were more and more corpses lying on the ground.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's psychological defense finally collapsed.

"I surrender!"

He threw the samurai sword in his hand directly on the ground, then knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed continuously towards Li Dingguo.

His head was like a chicken pecking at rice, and it kept hitting the ground. Soon, his forehead was covered with blood, with his blood on it, and blood flowing on the ground.

"stop!"

Li Dingguo shouted and stopped the soldiers under him.

He walked out from the crowd and came to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"I asked you to surrender just now, why don't you just surrender? You have to resist, you have to resist, now it's all right, it's a pity that so many people died!" Li Dingguo said.

"My lord, I am blind, please forgive me, I plead guilty, I surrender, please don't kill me!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu kept kowtowing to Li Dingguo, hoping that Li Dingguo would spare him.

He didn't have the determination to fight to the death, and he didn't want to die. Even though he was the only one left now, he still didn't give up his desire to survive.

"You are a typical example of not crying when you see the coffin." Li Dingguo shook his head, and finally asked his subordinates to arrest Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Like supporting a dead dog, Li Dingguo's subordinates helped him up from the ground and pushed him down.

The remaining garrisons have now been overwhelmed by the soldiers brought by Li Dingguo.

All the living facilities and property left by Tokugawa Iemitsu here were confiscated by these subordinates of Li Dingguo.

When everything was swept away, a strong flame burned here.

As the flames spread, everything here disappeared and turned into ashes.

Afterwards, they searched around here as the center, and caught all the fish that slipped through the net that escaped.

The country of Wa was completely destroyed.

Li Dingguo took Tokugawa Iemitsu on the way back.

This battle ended very quickly, and the most time-consuming part was the rush. The frontal battlefield didn't even last a day. If it wasn't for the rugged roads and the rout of soldiers running around, it might end in a day.

Li Dingguo boarded the boat back, but his mood was not as happy as when he caught Tokugawa Iemitsu.

He was thinking, how would he face the other soldiers and generals after he went back?
