Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 647 The Shogun and the Emperor

As soon as it landed on the Honshu of the Wa Kingdom, it meant that the Wa Kingdom had completely lost any possibility of resisting the main force of the Ming army from advancing to Edo.

Next, after a temporary rest at Yamaguchi, the Ming army quickly captured Hiroshima, Hyogo, Maizuru and other cities.

When Daming occupied Osaka, it meant that it was not far from Kyoto.

However, at this time the emperor had also fled Kyoto and was temporarily stationed in Nagoya.

The whole country of Wa was in turmoil, and the big names from all over the country began to expand their troops and horses, and the city defended itself.

At this time, the shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna also began to feel uneasy and at a loss.

"Boss, what should we do now, the Ming army is too strong, we can't beat it!"

Tokugawa Jiazuna asked Sakai Zhongqing anxiously.

"Invite the emperor back first. In the name of the emperor, recruit the daimyo's army and organize them to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army on Mount Fuji. Using the mountains and rivers may be able to defeat the Ming army. If not, we can only let the emperor represent us. surrender!"

Therefore, Tokugawa Ietsuna really sent people to bring the emperor from Nagoya to Edo, and at the same time called on the daimyos from all over the world to gather samurai on Mount Fuji, preparing for a decisive battle with Ming Dynasty.

The emperor and the shogun Tokugawa Jiazuna also hid in Mount Fuji.

After the Ming Dynasty successively occupied Kyoto, Nara and other cities in Japan, it officially arrived near Tokyo in June 40th year of Chongzhen, and came to the foot of Mount Fuji, where it was blocked by 30 Japanese troops from Japan.

The Wa country also dispatched cavalry this time, but they were still defeated like chickens and dogs in front of the Daming army coordinated by infantry and artillery.

In the end, the Japanese army of the Japanese country still had to circle in Mount Fuji to deal with the Ming army.

"This is the highest place in the Wa country, and now the shogun and the emperor of the Wa country are inside. We must first wipe out all the Japanese pirates hiding in Mount Fuji before we can effectively occupy the Wa country."

Li Dingguo looked at the vast mountain and said something.

"But the mountains are sprawling, the forest is deep and the road is dangerous, and our army is very unfamiliar with this place. It may be very difficult to wipe out the Japanese pirates. Although our army has excellent weapons, if they are scattered, it is inevitable that they will be scattered among the mountains. Being ambushed by a sneak attack, I am afraid that there will be more casualties, and it may even be futile."

Zheng Chenggong had to add something, and couldn't help sighing while looking at the snow-capped Mount Fuji in the distance.

Li Dingguo also remained silent. Nuo Da, a Japanese country, gave these Japanese pirates a temporary shelter because of the many mountains, so that the Ming army had to temporarily stop attacking it in order to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Li Dingguo thought for a long time, and finally decided to adopt the strategy of closing the door and beating dogs. He gathered 20 Ming troops to surround the entire Mount Fuji, and did not let the main force disperse into the mountain to search and suppress. Constantly patrolling around the entire Mount Fuji.

At the same time, Li Dingguo selected only [-] special warfare soldiers armed with submachine guns and thunderbolts on their waists, scattered into the mountains, and attacked the Japanese pirates hiding in the mountains, but did not wipe them out, but drove them out. The main force is responsible for exterminating these Japanese pirates.

All in all, let the main force set up cages outside, and let the most capable Ming army act as hounds, enter the hunting grounds and drive out all the Japanese countries that are regarded as prey, which can also be said to be grass and rabbits.

Today's Japanese pirates are all densely distributed in Mt. Fuji, and relying on their familiarity with the terrain in this area, they are very safe and stubborn in the mountains.

"General, will we defeat the Ming army, will the Ming army break into the mountains and kill us?"

The Japanese Emperor asked the shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna, and Tokugawa Ietsuna sneered: "Don't worry, the Emperor, Sakai Jingchu said that we are now in Mount Fuji, just like fish swimming back to the sea, it is difficult for them to find us Yes, but if we want to find them, we can only divide our troops to look for them, and then we will have the opportunity to attack them coldly, so that they will never come back."

"The general is wise!" The Emperor of Japan nodded, and felt a little relieved.

At this time, the sound of gunshots sounded, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army special warfare suddenly appeared nearby with submachine guns. They fired at these Japanese pirates violently, and then shouted to kill them, for fear that these Japanese pirates would not know their appearance. .

The Japanese pirates panicked, and both Tokugawa Ietsuna and the Japanese emperor rushed out under the protection of their subordinates.

Such scenes continued to happen in the next period of time. These Japanese pirates hiding in Mount Fuji were chased around by the Ming army like rabbits.

At this time, the main force of the Ming army was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and once a group of Japanese pirates ran to the foot of the mountain, they would unceremoniously gather and annihilate them, or beat them back, so that these Japanese pirates can't go down the mountain now, and they can't do it in the mountain. An Ning, the Japanese pirates in the entire Mount Fuji have been in a state of running around, and have no energy to spend time farming to accumulate strength.

However, the main force of the Ming army at the foot of the mountain has established a more stable foundation at the foot of the mountain, searching for the wealth of the Japanese pirates, establishing a ruling order, and accumulating logistical resources.

As a result, within a year, there were fewer and fewer surviving Japanese pirates who remained in the mountains, and even if there were still ones, they were hungry and cold, and had to starve because of the shortage of production materials.

"General, I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry", the Emperor of Japan has become less bullish.

And Tokugawa Ietsuna, who was able to feast on fish and meat before, but now can only live on porridge, also said helplessly: "I can't eat enough."

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had already started to adopt a political offensive, and dispatched ordinary Japanese civilians who had already been trained to follow the Ming army special warfare soldiers into the mountains and beat the gongs and shouted: "Listen up, the Japanese, and capture the Japanese shogunate Tokugawa Iezuna or The Emperor of the Japanese pirates will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and his life will be spared!"

This price is not unattractive, but on the verge of death and hunger, although some warriors are still loyal to these Japanese nobles, they are more likely to use this as a way to save themselves.

Even Tokugawa Iezuna wanted to sell the Emperor Wa, but he was worried that the Emperor Wa would sell himself again in a blink of an eye, so he kept the Emperor Wa with him.

"They are the Emperor and the General, they are!"

At this time, the first to betray Tokugawa Ietsuna and the Japanese Emperor was the elder Sakai Seitada. When he saw the Ming army appearing, he hurriedly stood up and pointed at Tokugawa Ietsuna and the Japanese Emperor and shouted.

And Tokugawa Ietsuna hated Sakai Jingtada to death now, and couldn't help being furious: "Why did you betray me?"

"There is no way, I still want to live!"

Just as Sakai Jingzhong finished speaking, a samurai stabbed a Japanese sword into Sakai Jingzhong's stomach: "Disloyal and unrighteous guy, I will kill you for the general!"

But now the Ming army has come over, asking Tokugawa Ietsuna, the Emperor of Japan and the samurai beside them.

"Which of you is the emperor and the general?"

"he is!"

Both Tokugawa Ietsuna and the Emperor of Japan pointed to the samurai who had just killed Shujin Jingzhong.

The samurai was a little stunned, a little regretful, and a little disappointed.

"It's strange. I heard that the Emperor of Japan and the General are not the same person. Why did they become the same person today? This person looks honest. He is obviously not the Emperor and General. You are lying to us!"
