Chapter 206 The Awakened People
Dissatisfaction with the enemy is loyalty to oneself, and Tokugawa Ieyasu is quite satisfied with this.

"Soon, Zhongsheng, you get ready right away. Once we start here, we will march straight to the side gate of the inner city. Where is our internal response, who can help us break through the gate and surround the inner city as soon as possible to search for Toyotomi Hideyoshi? If you find it, you will be captured alive immediately, and you are not allowed to kill it."

"As ordered!"

Tadakatsu Honda was fearless, took his formidable big gun, and went to organize his own army. Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rushui entered the camp of the Chinese army. There is a gate belonging to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The Guobeng artillery is specially used to deal with the naval warships of the Ming army cruising on the sea, but the artillery of the Ming army is fast and powerful, and there are a large number of them. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's artillery team can often only shoot one shot. It was covered by the artillery shells of the Ming army, so it is impossible to count on these artillery to counterattack.

Even so, as a powerful long-range firearm, artillery is also an important asset of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Honda Tadakashi's more than 2 elite Eastern Army was equipped with only this artillery, while there were more than ten guns on the inner city wall. It is said that there are still a large number of artillery in the arsenal of the inner city that have not been assembled and used. It is conceivable that Toyotomi Hideyoshi seems to be planning to fight a protracted battle with the Ming army in Nagoya Castle.

And this cannon is the signal for this incident. Tokugawa Ieyasu will use this cannon to shoot at the inner city wall. When the artillery fires, it is when the Eastern Army launches an attack on Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The western army in the city had only [-] troops, while the eastern army had [-]. The eastern army had an overwhelming strength.

Although most of the Western Army guards important checkpoints and towers, the most important inner city has Tokugawa's internal response. As long as the inner city is breached, Toyotomi Hideyoshi will be captured without a fight, and Tokugawa Ieyasu will quickly kill him and carry his head Surrendering is fine, but Xiao Ruxun, the admiral of the Ming army, seems to say that he also needs Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head, probably to ask their emperor for a reward. Therefore, this head is really useful and needs to be kept properly.

Tokugawa Ieyasu caressed the barrel of this terrifying cannon, and the scenes in front of him reproduced every imprint since he stepped on the world stage at the age of 17.

When he was 17 years old, he followed Imagawa Yoshimoto Shangluo to kill Nobunaga's important minister Sakuma Morishaga.

At the age of 19, he made an alliance with Oda Nobunaga.

At the age of 25, he assisted Nobunaga in Shangluo.

At the age of 27, he followed Nobunaga to attack Yoshikage Asakura, and Kanezaki retreated. In June of the same year, Anegawa joined forces to establish the position of the Oda regime in Kinki.

At the age of 29, he fought against Takeda Shingen, fighting more with less. After the disastrous defeat, in March of the first year of Tensho, he regained the five castles of Tianfang, Kekurin, Horaiji, Xiangli and Ichinomiya.

The 32-year-old battle of Nagashino.

At the age of 39, he followed Nobunaga to destroy Takeda. In the same year, Honnoji was sitting on the Five Kingdoms. Later, he used the weak to resist the strong and defeated Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi had to use diplomatic means to subdue himself. After that, he sat on a large area of ​​Kanto and became the territory of Hideyoshi. The biggest and strongest external daimyo.

Until now, it is not a big deal for him to usurp the throne as the head of the five elders of the Toyotomi clan, and to unite with foreign enemies to destroy Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At least he and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are also enemies, and the most important thing Yes, after this cannonball is fired, he will officially step into the footsteps of General Kaifu. He is a descendant of Genji nobles, and he has the qualifications to become General Kaifu.

This is something that Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't do even if he went crazy, but in his opinion, it is so close at hand and within reach.

"Guan Bingwei, once the cannon fires, we really have no way out."

"We have no retreat for a long time. From the very beginning, we have no retreat."

Kuroda Rushui's determination is stronger than Tokugawa Ieyasu's. He and Toyotomi Hideyoshi have already taken two completely different paths and parted ways long ago.

"I know, I have dreamed of this moment countless times, but I never imagined that this moment will come so quickly. Officer, Bingwei, I still need your help in the future."

"Your servant will do his best."

Ieyasu Tokugawa swallowed his last reassurance and ordered the gunners to load the artillery into the vehicle. Along with the large troops ready to go, they dived outside the inner city together. Within the range of the artillery, the moon was dark and the wind was high tonight. It was completely concealed, the muzzle of the artillery was aimed at the inner city wall, the gunner had finished loading, and handed a fire bag to Tokugawa Ieyasu-asking him to light the match himself.

Ask him to take the first step, and his loyal soldiers will carry him along for the rest.

Tokugawa Ieyasu took the fire pocket, took a deep breath, opened the lid, and blew on the fire pocket, and the little blue flame was a bit conspicuous in the night. Tokugawa Ieyasu aimed the flame at the A lead rope was stabbed, and the lead rope was ignited. Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated quickly, waiting for the arrival of fate.

A night watch soldier on the top of the city happened to witness the sudden appearance of the faint blue flame in the dark environment. He wondered if he had misread it, and was a little surprised. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, and saw what seemed to be The thing that was the match was ignited, and a little bit of sparks were constantly flowing downstream. He felt that he seemed to have seen this kind of scene somewhere.

Where is it?

It seems to be... when the cannon ignites the fuse and is about to fire?
right!Really like it!

"Hey, look at that..."

"boom------"

A loud noise covered the soldier's voice, and the ensuing huge shells also harvested his life. The first martyr of this great change, he is destined not to be remembered by anyone.

The firing of the cannon was a symbol, which awakened countless people who were sleeping, and also excited more people who were not asleep instantly.

Since ancient times, regime changes have been accompanied by a large amount of redistribution of power and interests. The Owari generals and Omi civil servants who followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi back then all made a lot of money because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's status as a man in the world. The top hundreds of thousands of stone princes, while the rest of the foreign daimyos were excluded from the list of benefit redistribution due to various circumstances, and the fattest meat was not eaten.

This time, God-given opportunity, all the daimyos of the Western Army probably died in North Korea and were killed by the Ming army, and the remaining remnants could not compete with them at all. As long as they kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Toyotomi regime will completely collapse , once the Toyotomi regime collapses, the entire Western Kingdom will be the spoils of these Eastern Kingdom daimyos. There are only more than 20 of them in total. Their.

Compared with the cakes painted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, those who have experienced the power of the Ming Dynasty have already taken back their vision and invested in those fertile unclaimed lands. Once things succeed, they will get at least twice the return. Such a rate of return , enough to drive anyone crazy.
