Chapter 2388: Fenghuo Forest
The money stolen by the Japanese soldiers was handed over to the Qin army, and even the three armies of Wei, Song and Wu. There are countless examples of this in Tokyo.
They just surrendered their troops. They were afraid of the Han people to the core. Even if they had knives in their hands, they did not dare to make any serious resistance. They could only honestly give away the money they had robbed, and then rob other Japanese in the city.
After seeing so much property, the elder Qin soldier's eyes flashed green, but he didn't bother too much and waved to the five Qin Alliance soldiers to leave.
He wasn't stupid either. After all, the rabbit bit someone in a hurry, and there were five people on the other side. If he was cornered, he might still be the one to suffer.
As soon as Qin Xiejun left, the older Qin Bing ran over, holding the treasure in his hands, and said with excitement: "We are getting rich, Bo Dao, we are getting rich. If I go back to the country to fight now, I can get a wife. It’s the wedding room.”
The young soldier's name was Hao Zhao, whose courtesy name was Bodao, and he was the nephew of Hao Tong, a senior member of the Jin Dynasty.
After hearing what the veteran said, Hao Zhao couldn't help but frowned. He was not opposed to massacre and looting, but he was worried that the military discipline of the Qin army would be affected.
Compared with the 50,000 Qin troops who first landed on the Japanese island, they were completely different from what they are now.
When the Qin army just landed on the Japanese island, even though they could massacre, rob, and rape... they still had strict military discipline and enforced orders and prohibitions.
But now, after participating in a series of atrocities, the beastly desires in the hearts of the Qin soldiers were completely aroused, and they began to become greedy, violent, murderous, and even enjoyed killing.
Such a change has improved combat effectiveness to a certain extent, but it has also corrupted military discipline.
Once military discipline is ruined, it will not be easy to return to the original state.
Hao Zhao was very worried. Will the Japanese conquering army, which had completely let go of itself, accept the original strict military regulations after returning to the Central Plains?
In addition, as long as the soldiers can return alive, they must have made a lot of money. After all, nothing can make money faster than stealing money.
When the other armies of the Qin Dynasty saw that the Japanese conquering army had robbed so much money, would they be envious and jealous, and then follow suit?
Hao Zhao sighed and shook his head. Although he was full of emotions, he didn't say much. After all, this was not something he, an ordinary soldier, could control.
After calculating the amount of money and property, the veteran divided the property into two parts, one part was handed over to the army, and the other part was divided equally between the two of them.
Half of the proceeds from the massacre and plundering of the city should be turned over and half should belong to the individual. This is a rule that all soldiers must abide by.
If a soldier is greedy and fails to hand over property according to the rules, once he is found hiding his property, not only will all his property be confiscated, but he will also be severely punished, so there are basically not many soldiers who dare to hide it privately.
After dividing the belongings, the veteran opened the courtyard door and prepared to go in to have a rest, but as soon as he walked in, he saw a tragic scene.
The woman was naked, her lower body was in a mess, and not far from her body, there was the body of a child. The death was extremely cruel.
The two of them shuddered at the same time, and the veteran said: "Bo Dao, you have read a lot. Come and tell me, why do these Japanese people treat their compatriots more harshly than us Han people?"
"this……"
Hao Zhao also had a look of confusion in his eyes.
Japanese pirates had massacred Han people, and there was a blood feud between Han and Japanese, so the Han people did not have any psychological burden when they killed the Japanese.
But it’s impossible for the Japanese to have a blood feud with their compatriots, right? How can we treat our compatriots more harshly than the Han people?
After thinking about it, Hao Zhao could only attribute it to the fact that the Japanese were a twisted nation. At the same time, another question came to his mind.
There were only tens of thousands of Han troops who invaded the city, but there were as many as 100,000 Japanese troops. So the question arises: Was the Han people massacred the city of Tokyo? Or were they massacred by Japanese people?
It may be said that Han people were responsible for the massacre, but most of the perpetrators were Japanese.
But if it was a Japanese massacre, it was a Han who gave the order.
"well……"
Hao Zhao sighed, then shook his head, not thinking too much.
Tragic scenes like what Hao Zhao witnessed are happening everywhere in Tokyo.
After the Han coalition forces invaded the city, they also committed violence, but the Han people were very particular about killing people without touching the ground, and they rarely had cruel imaginations like torture and killing.
On the contrary, when facing the Han army, the Japanese army was submissive and did not even dare to take a breath. However, when dealing with their own compatriots, they punched and vented the hatred hidden in their hearts towards the Han people twice as much as they vented it on their own compatriots. On the body.
As a result, there was such a strange phenomenon. Although both Han and Japanese were committing massacres, the Japanese treated the Japanese much more cruelly than the Han. It could be said to be extremely distorted.
At the same time, Oda Nobunaga, after the east gate was completely captured, led the remaining army, as well as Susanoo and other generals, fought and retreated, and finally retreated into the palace, continuing to resist stubbornly.
"Your Majesty, now all the four gates in the east, west, north and south have been lost, and we are completely unable to break out."
Saito Michizan said with a tragic face, and he is the father of 'Nohime' Saito Guiche and the father-in-law of Oda Nobunaga.
Hearing this, Oda Nobun let out a long sigh. He had no intention of breaking out. After all, the entire Nobi area was occupied by the Han people. Regardless of whether he could break out or not, even if he could break out, where could he go? Woolen cloth?
"Where are Akechi Mitsuhide, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and others?" Oda Nobunaga asked.
"Akechi Mitsuhide died in battle, Tokugawa Ieyasu led the remaining army to surrender to the Wei army, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was on his way back to the inner city." Saito Douzan said.
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga fell silent.
If this had been the case before, he would have definitely scolded Tokugawa Ieyasu as a traitor, but now he could not curse him. After all, Tokugawa Ieyasu had tried his best and persisted until the last moment before surrendering.
He has done enough and is completely worthy of Japan. Even if he surrenders to the Han army, Oda Nobunaga cannot blame him.
"I have decided to fight to the death for my country and will never surrender. If any of you want to surrender, please go out of the city and surrender." Oda Nobunaga said with an indifferent expression.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the generals present were different, and most of them were a little moved. After all, who wants to die if he can live?
However, there were also many diehards who became excited after hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, and declared on the spot that they would live or die with the Oda family.
Their determination also infected many people who were moved, and they decided to stay and accompany Oda Nobunaga to fight to the end.
Finally, three thousand people led by Saito Dozo decided to leave the palace and prepared to surrender to the Han army.
For the sake of his own life, Saito Douzan could not care about his daughter and son-in-law.
The Japanese generals who decided to fight to the death for their country were naturally excited when they saw that so many people wanted to surrender. They even prepared to draw their swords, but were stopped by Oda Nobunaga.
"Let them go. They have tried their best. It is not their fault. It is only my incompetence that is to blame." Oda Nobunaga said solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, all the generals changed their expressions, even Susanoo, they all felt Nobunaga's death wish.
After Saito Michizan and his men left the palace, although they were ready to surrender to the Han army, they did not know that they were ambushed by Song army archers on the street outside the palace.
The Song army did not know that Saito Dosan was here to surrender. Seeing so many people pouring out of the palace, they immediately fired thousands of arrows and killed a large number of Japanese soldiers.
Seeing this, Saito Douzan became anxious and shouted in Chinese: "Don't shoot arrows, we are here to surrender."
After the ambush Song army heard the shouting, they immediately stopped firing arrows. This also made Saito Dōsan breathed a sigh of relief and asked everyone to put down their weapons and come out to surrender.
But when everyone actually walked out, the Song Army pulled the trigger again, and in a blink of an eye, they shot and killed all the unarmed Japanese soldiers who came to surrender, leaving only Saito Michizan shivering in the pile of corpses.
Yamata no Orochi led the people out, looked at Saito Douzan with a joking face, and said mockingly: "Hey, isn't this the head of the country? Aren't you the most loyal to Nobunaga? Why did you surrender?"
Seeing that the person coming was Yamata-no-Orochi, Saito Douzan suddenly became excited and asked: "Why are we shooting arrows? We are here to surrender. Why are we shooting arrows?"
"Do you think you can surrender if you want to?"
Hearing this, Saito Douzan fell to the ground. After listening carefully, he realized that all the sounds coming from all directions were wailing, and he immediately understood that the Han army was actually massacring the city.
"why is it like this……"
Saito Michizan said with a lonely face, as if he wanted to kill or behead him casually.
Seeing this, Yamata no Orochi no longer wanted to ridicule the other party, and said to his left and right: "Take good care of him. This person has a special status and is valuable to use."
"promise."
The Song Army soldier shouted, even though he had great disdain for the Yamata no Orochi, he was his superior now after all, and he had to obey orders no matter what.
After Saito Douzan was pressed down, Yamata no Orochi stood on the top of the tallest building. Looking at the wailing city, he no longer had any shame in surrendering in his heart. Some were just happy, and he felt more and more that his Make the right decision, otherwise you will be one of the corpses below.
"The daughter of Saito Dozo, Saito Guidie, is one of the most beautiful women in Japan. After killing Oda Nobunaga, she can be captured and presented to Zhao Guangyi."
Yamata no Orochi secretly thought in his heart, and was thinking about how to please Zhao Guangyi so that his career in the Song Dynasty would be smoother. It would be best to keep him as a local overlord in the Japanese country.
Yamata no Orochi had a beautiful idea, but this was obviously impossible. It was not that his contribution was not great enough, but that the Song Dynasty lacked strong generals, and it was impossible to keep his combat power in the Japanese country.
The people who went out to surrender were all shot dead by the Song army, and the news that the Han army was massacring the city was quickly spread back to the inside of the imperial city.
After learning the news, the remaining Japanese troops did not ridicule those who surrendered. Instead, they felt sad that rabbits had died and foxes were sad. Now they really had no other choice but to fight to the death.
As for the massacre of the city by the Han army, everyone in the Oda family had no reaction. After all, this had been expected by them.
In fact, Oda Nobunaga had already guessed that the Han army would massacre the city after conquering Tokyo, so he kept using the "Han army massacre" as propaganda to increase the people's resistance in the city. However, he failed to defend Tokyo in the end. .
"Your Majesty, Lord Hideyoshi is back."
"Your Majesty..."
As soon as Toyotomi Hideyoshi came back, he burst into tears without caring about his image. If it were not for the protection of the two gods of war, he would not have been able to escape alive.
"Hideyoshi, why don't you surrender? Even if you surrender, I won't blame you." Oda Nobunaga asked with a complicated face.
"Your Majesty has not surrendered. As a minister, how can I surrender first?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi cried.
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga was extremely moved. Even his father-in-law betrayed him, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not. It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Oda Nobunaga waved for everyone to leave, and said to Fengchen Hideyoshi alone: "Hideyoshi, I want to give you one last mission."
"I will obey all your Majesty's orders," Toyotomi Hideyoshi said decisively.
"Surrender."
"Hai...what?"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked shocked and even suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"You heard me right, I want you to surrender."
"But Your Majesty, why is this?"
"I can die, Japan can also perish, but the Japanese cannot be exterminated.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu only came here for wealth, but Great Qin wanted to completely annex Japan. Once Great Qin succeeded, there would be no Japanese anymore in the future.
Therefore, I hope you can surrender, save the last fire for the Japanese, and wait for the opportunity to revive Japan. "
After hearing this, Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt Oda Nobunaga's good intentions and said with a wry smile: "But even if I surrender, the Han people may not accept it?"
"If you take my head and surrender, you will definitely be accepted by the Han people."
"What?"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi exclaimed, then kowtowed heavily and said: "This is absolutely not possible."
"You must do this, otherwise I will die with my eyes resting in peace." Oda Nobunaga scolded sternly.
"But……"
"Hideyoshi, you are my successor, and I entrust everything to you."
…
At the same time, Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, Xia Houyuan, and Zhao Guangyi had also entered the city.
Zhou Yu ignored the tragic scenes along the way and asked to the left and right: "Where are Oda Nobunaga and Susano'o?"
"They have all retreated into the inner city."
"How many troops are there in the inner city of Tokyo now?"
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi also retreated into the inner city palace. Now there should be less than 6,000 troops left in the inner city of Tokyo."
"Organize troops immediately and launch an attack on the inner city. We will never let Oda Nobunaga survive tomorrow." Zhou Yu ordered coldly.
"promise."
Not only Zhou Yu, but also Sun Ce, Xia Houyuan, and Zhao Guangyi were all eager to break into the inner city. After all, most of the wealth of the Japanese Empire was piled in the inner city, on a first-come, first-served basis.
The four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu quickly organized their forces and launched a fierce attack on the inner city of Tokyo, but they encountered desperate resistance from the inner city defenders.
The Han people's massacre of the city, coupled with the move of not taking prisoners, completely eliminated their luck.
Either way, they will die, so it is better to fight with the Han people.
Led by Susano'o, Kagutsuchi and other generals, the remaining six thousand Oda family defenders began to defend the imperial city and risked their lives in the battle.
[Ding dong, Shinato Hiko (wind), Kagutsuchi (fire), and Oyama Tsumi (mountain) are all present at the same time, activating the combo skill: Wind Mountain Forest;]
