Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 491 The Tokugawa Shogunate Meets the Emperor

This may be the darkest period in the history of the Wa Kingdom, and it is also the most brutal time that Ming has behaved in foreign wars.

Almost one-third of the Wa people were slaughtered in this war, and it was from this time that the country of Daming would no longer be a benevolent and deceitful country in the eyes of the Wa country, but a A nation of hatred and fear.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't care what these Japanese people thought of Daming, and even in Zhu Youxiao's view, it would be better for him to keep hating Daming than to allow these Japanese people to worship Daming but covet him.

The soldiers of the imperial guards and the frontier army completely ignored the domestic military discipline at this time, showing their most violent side, just like the Japanese people of later generations treated the Chinese people, the bayonet stabbed into the chest of the Japanese people without hesitation, Sometimes I was too lazy to use a bayonet, so I just used poison gas bombs to kill the Japanese people in the entire village.

The only surviving Wa people in the place where the imperial guards and border troops passed were young and beautiful women. It was not only because of their small and exquisite figures and charming faces that they were able to save their lives, but also because of their gentleness. The nature and the tenderness that can be trampled at will.

The samurai and daimyos of the Wa kingdom were indeed angry, their will to fight had been ignited, and the Tokugawa shogunate had no choice but to stand up, stating that it would fight to the death with the Ming army and denounced the atrocities committed by the Ming army.

In this era, there are no international organizations, and no other superpowers that can be used. No matter how ambitious the Wa Kingdom is, it will have to face the catastrophe of overthrow.

What's more, the Japanese country does not have the so-called strategic depth, and the sea has been controlled by the major naval fleets of the Ming Dynasty, and the Western Fan, which could have been relied on, has also been driven out of the waters of the Ming Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty. Now there is no fleet in the entire Southeast Asia Dare to compete with Daming.

In this war against Japan, Zhu Youxiao did not arrange a commander-in-chief, but Chang Yanling, the commander-in-chief of the First Army of the Imperial Guard, went from Nagato to Ishimi, Derei, Hoki and other places along the Honshu Island from north to Sweeping in the south, while the Third Army of the Imperial Guard marched along Zhoufang, Anyun and other places, sweeping from south to north.

Frontier Army Zhao led the teaching department to go south to Higo, Hyuga and other places, sweeping the entire territory of Kyushu, while the Frontier Army Zhou Yuji Department swept Tosa, Iyo and other places, which is now Shikoku Island, and the Frontier Army Mangui Department joined the Navy directly to Ezo Island, which is now occupied by the Wa Kingdom.

Chang Yanling is not very obsessed with female sex, after he first tasted a few Japanese girls, he felt that he was not interested. The challenge meant that Chang Yanling was more interested in killing people. The commander was like this, and other officers and soldiers of the First Army were also deeply affected by it. Therefore, on the way of the First Army, more blood flowed like rivers. Rather than being delicate and tactful.

On the contrary is Fu Dahai, the Third Army of the Imperial Guard. Although Fu Dahai is a little fat and fair-skinned, he is even more handsome than Ximen Qing. Good physique, the same is true of the officers and soldiers under his command, as if they haven't touched a woman for several years, they can't move their legs when they see a Japanese woman, and they can't suppress the third leg, so on the way of his third army , There are many Japanese women who were ruined by them, sowed countless seeds, and shot many descendants. Even, many years later, when the Royal Academy of Sciences did research, it was found that the new residents in this area had the highest genetic similarity with the common people of Ming Dynasty. I don't know how many of them are descendants of officers and soldiers of the Third Army.

Zhao Ratejiao likes head-beheading competitions, and has formulated many evaluation rules for this, such as how many Japanese women can be served for every [-] Japanese people killed, etc. For this kind of entertainment competition, Zhao Ratejiao It's just that there is no other, and because of his atrocities, the entire Kyushu Island of the Japanese Kingdom is wailing, and the jackdaws are dense.

Zhou Yuji is quite talented as an artist, and he likes to build capitals. Every time a city is slaughtered, a capital must be built, and it must be bigger and more spectacular than the previous capital.

The Mangui Department and the Marine Corps like to instigate the children of the local Ainu ethnic group who were oppressed by the Japanese to shoot and kill the Japanese warriors, and even specially find old and weak women and children to attack the Japanese. Do justice and let them learn to avenge themselves.

In short, the performances of the various departments of the Ming army in the Wa Kingdom have their own characteristics, but they are all based on the military task of eliminating the Wa people, although they were later denounced by countless conservatives or people who advocate tolerance. Human nature, but they did make the Wa people pay a heavy price, and let the Wa people once again deeply understand the most terrifying side of the Celestial Kingdom.

According to the instructions of the Ministry of War, three months later, the first army of the imperial guards and the third army will join forces in Kyoto (avoiding sensitive words, not directly called Japan) in the country of Japan, and use this as the final stage of the sweep of the country of Japan, that is, to Completely destroy the capital city of the Japanese country, and capture the emperor of the Japanese country and the current general Tokugawa Iemitsu of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Therefore, most of the news of the atrocities committed by the Ming army in the Wa Kingdom were concentrated in the capital of the Wa Kingdom.At this time, people in Kyoto were panicked, and many fanatical Japanese warriors threatened to resist desperately and fight the final bloody battle with the Ming army.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also tried his best to motivate his subordinates at this time. He even met the emperor in person and swore that he would stick to Kyoto to the last drop of blood for Japan.However, only he himself knows that his own psychology is actually bottomless.

In order not to let his shogunate rule be shaken by the atrocities and aggression of the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu encouraged the soldiers to be the chief writers who were in danger, and at the same time sent secret envoys to contact the third army of the imperial guards to deliver the letter To Daming, and hoped that he could get the forgiveness of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, by ceding the territory, compensating property, or bowing his head as a vassal.

However, the First Army and the Third Army of the Imperial Guard ignored Tokugawa Iemitsu's emissary, because the purpose of Ming Dynasty at this time was to completely eliminate the rule of your Tokugawa shogunate and destroy the emperor, a symbol of faith that maintains the unity of the Yamato nation.

After learning that the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty had arrived all the way to Tanba, Tokugawa Iemitsu completely gave up the illusion of surviving his life by ceding territory, making indemnities, or even surrendering his head.

Tokugawa Iemitsu had to immediately mobilize 20 troops to Danba to prevent the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty from joining forces with another army of the Ming Dynasty. In that case, he would lose his last chance to turn the tables, and Kyoto would soon be occupied by the Ming army and fall into an unprecedented situation. disaster.

This season is the season of cherry blossoms, and the entire vicinity of Kyoto has become a snow-white world. Countless Japanese pirates with samurai swords stepped on the cherry blossoms tragically, and killed the Ming army in the humid air.

The officers and soldiers of the First Army of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty also walked towards the densely packed Japanese pirates in unison at this time, and the petals of the cherry blossoms fell down and landed on the guns of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, appearing more and more snow-white.

A neat sound of pulling the trigger knocked off the cherry blossoms on the trigger, and before the cherry blossoms fell to the ground, there was a bang!The bullet with flames and smoke passed directly through the chamber, quickly tore open the Japanese pirate's armor and took his life.

The wind was blowing gently, and countless cherry blossoms swirled and fell, like dancing white butterflies wandering among the flowers, and the bullets passing through the cherry blossoms took the lives of Japanese pirates one after another.

The firearms and sharp sabers in these conceited and arrogant Japanese pirate warriors couldn't even get close to the body of the Imperial Guards, so they spilled blood all over the cherry blossoms, staining countless blood colors in vain.

The Japanese army has begun to show signs of being exhausted, and began to retreat slowly, while the first army of the imperial guards is still advancing steadily and at a normal speed. The bullets in the hands of the Ming army would penetrate people's chests without hesitation.

Because of this, all the bloody Japanese pirates eventually slammed into the guns of the Imperial Guards because they couldn't help the tide of the Imperial Guards.

Although this is a bit like moths jumping into a flame, it is a self-seeking end, but for Daming, it is exactly the desired result. Only by killing those who are more resistant among the Japanese pirates, can the future of the Japanese country be guaranteed. There will be no more ambitions to dare to offend the kingdom of heaven, that is, Ming Dynasty.

After the 20 elite organized by Tokugawa Iemitsu were defeated and fled back to Kyoto, Tokugawa Ieyasu naturally became more nervous. He didn't know how to ask the Ming army to stop the atrocities against the Japanese and allow his shogunate to continue to exist.

But the fact now is that even though Tokugawa Iemitsu sent an envoy, Daming's army did not reply to him why, so he could only take some actions based on his own guesses to seek forgiveness from Daming.

In Tokugawa Iemitsu's view, so far, there are only two incidents that have offended the majesty of the Heavenly Kingdom. It's just about attacking North Korea, but it still confronted Da Ming and offended Da Ming.

Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't know what to do to make Daming truly satisfied, so as to achieve the goal that Emperor Zhu Youxue of Ming Dynasty could forgive his Japanese country, but he could only try his best to make Daming and even His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Zhu Youxiao was happy.

Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu arrested and killed all the daimyo Masuda Kanemitsu and his family who participated in the plundering of the southeast coast, while Konishi Yukichi, Oda Nobunaga and even Toyotomi Hideyoshi who had participated in the Imjin Rebellion All the men and horses were beheaded.

Even in the end, Tokugawa Iemitsu went directly to the Emperor. At this time, the Emperor also knew that the Ming Empire on the other side of the ocean was about to be wiped out and his own Wa Kingdom, which had finally been peacefully peaceful, so the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom also asked anxiously. Tokugawa Iemitsu:

"General Tokugawa, the Ming army is coming in a menacing manner. In name, it intends to punish the hidden imperial court of our Japanese country. In fact, it wants to completely end our Japanese country. I wonder if General Tokugawa has any good strategies?"

The Tokugawa shogunate, which has always been the shogunate governing the country, today rarely knelt down to the Emperor of Japan, and bowed reverently to the Emperor of Japan, and solemnly said to the Emperor of Japan: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and its purpose Naturally, it is a way to bring back the battle of Renchen."

As he said that, Tokugawa Iemitsu drew out his sword first, pressed one hand on the extremely cold samurai sword, and held the handle tightly with the other, and said to the Emperor of Japan very seriously: "His Majesty the Emperor, now Perhaps only the head of the emperor can be used to offset the anger of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

As he said that, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't wait for His Majesty the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom to take the initiative to let him stand up, so he stood up first, holding the handle of the knife in both hands, and raised it up, ready to chop off the head of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom.

The Emperor of Japan didn't expect that the Tokugawa family just came to ask for his own head, and he was so frightened that he immediately sat down on the ground, and stepped back desperately, his whole body trembled, and hurriedly asked : "Why did the general say that?"

"Although it is said that His Majesty the Emperor will rule the world in the end, His Majesty the Emperor is the lord of the Japanese kingdom after all. Therefore, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese rebellion in the Jiajing period and the Renchen rebellion in the Wanli period are all related to His Majesty the Emperor, so for me The rule of the shogunate now has to be borrowed from the head of His Majesty the Emperor!"

As soon as the Tokugawa family said that, they slashed down with a knife. In an instant, the blood was sprinkled on the window, reflecting a string of gorgeous plum blossom patterns. The table fell to the ground.

Tokugawa Iemitsu lifted the head of the Emperor of Japan with one hand, and walked out step by step with heavy steps. He never thought that there would be such a day when he personally killed His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, the First Army and the Third Army of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty had already joined forces in the area of ​​the mountain city and surrounded the city of Kyoto. The people near the capital of the Wa country had already fled, and most of them fled into the city of Kyoto.

Therefore, at this time, the city of Kyoto was already overcrowded. The Tokugawa shogunate took advantage of this time to continue to expand the army, hoping to increase the defense of Kyoto. At the same time, he sent the Emperor of Japan and dozens of generals who had fought against Ming The heads of the extremely family members appeared in front of Chang Yanling and Fu Dahai, hoping that Daming would retreat now.

However, people will always subconsciously think in a good direction, and Tokugawa Iemitsu is the same at this time. Although he knows that he is powerless in his current state, and the Ming Dynasty will not give up Kyoto and not fight, but He still held a sliver of hope that in this way, he could let the Ming Dynasty spare his general shogunate.

Fu Dahai is obviously not interested in the head sent by Tokugawa Iemitsu from the Japanese country, he only cares about how many beauties in the Japanese country have not been occupied by him, while Chang Yanling is more interested in the food and grass in the capital city.

Therefore, Chang Yanling, the commander-in-chief of the First Army of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty, directly asked Tokugawa Iemitsu for tens of thousands of stones, grain, grass and some important ordnance for the long-term siege of Kyoto in the future, and Tokugawa Iemitsu did not Dare not to give it, after all, in order to maintain the direct shogunate rule, the current Tokugawa Iemitsu can only accommodate the Ming army in every possible way, and dare not violate it in the slightest.
