Kyoto Prefecture of Japan.
"Report! The Kyushu defenders successfully resisted the first wave of the Ming army's offensive. The Kyushu defenders are requesting reinforcements to defend Kyushu and keep the enemy at bay!"
When the senior officials of Japan heard this, they all jumped for joy.
What they are most worried about is that the Ming army will directly overrun Kyushu Island in one go, and then drive straight in, march from Shikoku Island to Honshu Island, and aim at Kyoto Prefecture.
As long as you can resist in the first battle, the subsequent offensive pressure is actually not that great. It's just that King Qi's destruction of a country in April made the top Japanese officials in Kyoto Prefecture anxious. Now it seems that the rumored Ming army is not so scary.
"Just follow this idea and drag the Ming army to Kyushu Island!"
An old man was full of energy, dancing and pointing the wind and clouds, "We are protected by Amaterasu, and we are the invincible land of the Kingdom of God. King Qi also wants to conquer the territory of our Kingdom of God. It is simply a wishful thinking!"
"Continue to add troops to Kyushu Island, and we must bring down the Ming army at all costs!"
"King Qi? Make sure he never comes back!"
The senior officials of Japan made confident gestures one after another. Kyushu Island's stubborn resistance made them feel dizzy and lost themselves.
Perhaps they have forgotten that before the Ming army attacked the city, they were frightened like birds with a bow.
The thinking of small countries is such a short-sightedness, and their narrow vision has cultivated abnormal expansion in their hearts, as well as arrogance that does not match their ambitions.
Ashikaga Yoshimichi was a little worried. He felt that something was wrong that he couldn't explain. The first round of the Ming army's offensive seemed too weak. It was so weak that it made people wonder, was the Ming army deliberately showing weakness?
However, the current situation cannot be controlled by Ashikaga Yoshimochi. After all, he is not a dictator. If he wants to continue to be in power, he must rely on the wishes of these senior officials.
"Then according to your wishes, we will deploy troops from Shikoku Island and Honshu Island, and increase the defense line of Kyushu Island."
…
When the Kyoto Prefecture decided to continue adding troops to the Kyushu Prefecture, the landing army led by Zheng He had already quietly moved in from the rear of the Kyoto Prefecture.
The Ezo land, once inhabited by the Ainnu tribe, also known as Hokkaido, has always been the land with the weakest control of the Japanese state. It only had a small number of symbolic garrison troops stationed and no city or defense line was built.
However, Zheng He led his army and broke through this weak defense line. He led his army directly across the Tsugaru Strait and drove in at an extremely fast speed. The weak defense line of Japan could not stop this large-scale attack. The elite troops' attack was like a sharp knife emerging from a pile of loose sand, reaching straight to the throat!
By the time the Japanese nation reacted, the troops led by Zheng He had already set up camp in Kyoto Prefecture, perfectly surrounding Kyoto Prefecture and blocking the way. The Kyoto Prefecture of Japan is like being stuck by the fangs of a tiger and may fall at any time!
When they wanted to mobilize troops to deal with the Ming army's attack, they discovered that the surrounding troops had been transferred to Kyushu Island and would not be able to come back for a while!
Dead end!
…
The Japanese general on Kyushu Island was in high spirits. He found that as long as he stayed here, the Ming army on Tsushima Island could not even organize an effective offensive. They hit and run every time, with no effect at all.
….
Although they have not been able to cause any casualties to the Ming army, this does not affect the expansion of the Japanese army's general: That's it, that's it?
I thought you were so capable!
"Press the main force on the shore and line the road. Yes, let's fight like this. I will pin the Ming army to death on the coastline. They will not be allowed to cross a step. I will drag them all into the water to feed the fish!"
Just as the Japanese leader was making arrogant gestures, the herald broke into the camp regardless and said urgently: "General, please quickly lead the Kyushu Army back to Kyoto to aid!"
"What's the answer? Don't rush. Just wait. The Ming army won't be able to delay it for long..."
"General! Kyoto Prefecture is about to fall!"
Like five thunders, the Japanese general asked in disbelief: "What are you talking about? I have dragged the Ming army behind
On the southern defense line, I can guarantee that no Ming army has broken through my defense line! How could Kyoto Prefecture fall! "
The herald said solemnly: "Although the Kyushu defense line has not fallen, our rear has fallen. The Ming army has crossed the Tsugaru Strait from the territory of the Ainnu people and surrounded Kyoto Prefecture. No matter how the battle in Kyushu is, please General, return to Kyoto Prefecture quickly. Once Kyoto Prefecture falls, it will be all over!"
Even before the war started, all the guardian daimyo from all over Japan had taken refuge in Kyoto Prefecture. Their troops stayed in Kyushu to continue resisting the Ming army, but once Kyushu fell, they would remain in the same place and could not defend themselves. Kyoto Prefecture was the safest area. Even if Kyoto Prefecture fell, it would only fall after the entire Japanese country fell.
But they never expected that Kyoto Prefecture would be the first to fall!
At this time, the high-ranking officials of the Japanese kingdom and the leaders from various places were all gathered in Kyoto Prefecture, including their "mascot leader" King Shiguang, who all stayed there. Once Kyoto Prefecture falls, it will be as if the Ming army will take over the old nest. How about beating it with feathers?
The Japanese general who was stationed on Kyushu Island waved his hand feebly as if his spine had been taken away.
"Withdraw your troops."
…
"Get out of here!"
"The whole army has landed in Kyushu, do I allow them to withdraw?"
Zhu Gaojie doesn't want to be friendly with Japanese people at all. Damn it, I've been playing house with you here for so long, and I forced you to pretend, and now you just want to leave?
Why do you think it's so beautiful?
The Ming army on Tsushima Island came out in full force and landed directly on Kyushu. They chased and beat the retreating Japanese army!
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
Are you a soldier? Do you know how to fight? You can always count if you haven't fought, right? "
"Our allied forces were completely wiped out on Kyushu Island. King Qi's army met outside Kyoto Prefecture. At a rough glance, there were probably hundreds of thousands of elite troops. Okay, let's calculate it as one hundred thousand, how many defenders are there in Kyoto Prefecture now? ?」
"Not even five thousand!"
"We're going to use this garrison, which can't even gather five thousand, to deal with King Qi's one hundred thousand elites?"
"Should I dig your mother's head out of the ground?"
Ashikaga Yoshimochi was scolded so badly that he didn't dare to refute, so he could only swallow his anger and say nothing.
An aging old man stood up to smooth things over: "Now that the matter is over, it doesn't matter how big of a mistake Ashikaga Yoshimichi has made. The plan for now is to discuss how to deal with the Ming army. Should we surrender or fight?"
Ashikaga Yoshimichi was stunned. What he said made him bear the blame alone.
When the Ming army was unable to attack Kyushu Island for a long time, weren't you very arrogant?
Are you starting to pretend to be a good person now?
Ashikaga Yoshinori felt a deep helplessness. The Ashikaga family's rise to power still relied on these elders and daimyo. Without the support of these bastards, whether the Ashikaga family could secure the position of shogunate was a question.
The King is the mascot promoted by these people to maintain the stage. The shogun himself is just a more respectable mascot.
When his father Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was still alive, he could still control power with his superb tactics, but after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's death, the shogun also began to stretch his hips.
"Surrender, or fight?"
This question has become the current theme.
….
Ashikaga Yoshimochi said, "How about we vote by secret ballot and ultimately decide whether to surrender based on the number of votes?"
As soon as this suggestion came out, it was recognized by everyone.
…
There are two white cloths hanging on the walls of the room. The white cloth on the left has a big word "submission" written on it, and the right side has the word "war" written on it.
Between the two white cloths, there was an exquisite wooden box.
He and the people in the room wrote down their inner answers on the slips of paper, stepped forward and put them into the wooden box. After everyone had finished placing their votes, Ashikaga Yoshinori opened the wooden box, took out the slips of paper and counted them.
There is a person in front of both sides of the white cloth, ready to record numbers on the white cloth.
Ashikaga Yoshimachi opened the note and read: "Surrender!"
"drop!"
"drop!"
"drop!"
"drop!"
"..."
After finishing reciting, the white cloth with the word "submit" was already filled with numbers, while the white cloth with the word "war" was completely blank except for the word "war".
Ashikaga Yoshimochi even wanted to smash this wooden box!
It’s all down! In this case, why don’t you just discuss it and vote for it!
Why don't we all just leave the city and surrender together?
The whole thing was quite ritualistic, but in the end they were all cowards!
"The result is already obvious. In this case, I declare surrender!"
After saying this, Ashikaga Yoshimachi closed his eyes and sighed.
"The king will bring three artifacts to act as envoys, and we will serve as accompanying envoys to go out of the city to surrender to King Qi of the Ming Dynasty..."
…
The main entrance of Kyoto Mansion opened wide, and a group of people slowly walked out.
The leader is a dwarf... Well, to be precise, all Japanese people are dwarfs.
This dwarf was wearing a royal robe dyed with yellow cotin, and he led the team forward cautiously.
"...I, the Japanese state, call me King Guang Shiren, bring three sacred weapons, and surrender to His Highness King Qi of the Ming Dynasty..."
He is King Chengguang of the Japanese Kingdom and the nominal leader of the Japanese Kingdom.
The Japanese king called himself the "Emperor" at the earliest, but later Emperor Sui Yang found out about it, which aroused Emperor Sui Yang's anger. After that, the Japanese state became honest and no longer called themselves emperor, but "king" or "big king".
king".
King Chengguang, the Japanese king, feels a little aggrieved. He is regarded by everyone as a mascot to maintain the stage. If the Japanese country wants to be stable, there must be such a thing as the Japanese king.
But he has become accustomed to this. The Japanese kings being regarded as mascots are not just a matter of his dynasty. All the Japanese kings in the past dynasties have been regarded as mascots. Although some Japanese kings who have ideals and control real power often cause trouble, in the end Still being ruthlessly suppressed.
Well, you can just let me be the mascot, serve you delicious food and drink, and live a good life this little time. What does this mean now? You have lost the battle and pushed me, the mascot, out to surrender?
Can I have a face?
However, the Japanese king did not dare to resist. As long as he dared to resist, those people would dare to replace him with a Japanese king. Who would be the king or not?
Zhu Gaojie sat in the commander's camp and touched his chin: "The Japanese king surrendered? And he brought the senior officials of the Japanese country with him?"
Liu Rong nodded: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
….
Zhu Gaojie waved his hand: "Let those people come in, well, let that Lao Shizi Japanese king come to see me."
…
The Japanese king carefully walked into the commander's camp. As soon as he entered, he saw the back of the young man wielding a sword and a gun. He couldn't help being frightened. All the three artifacts in his arms fell to the ground.
Zhu Gaojie turned around and glanced, his eyes cold and sarcastic.
The Japanese king knelt on the ground without hesitation and said loudly: "I, the Japanese king Shiren, bring three sacred weapons to pay homage to the great Ming Dynasty Prince Qi! Your Highness, King Qi, may you be blessed!"
"Three artifacts? Just these junk?" Zhu Gaojie glanced at the three junks scattered on the ground.
The three artifacts are Tian Cong Yun Sword, Bachi Qiong Magatama, and Bachi Mirror. The Japanese people regard the three artifacts as the most precious treasures. They are indispensable tokens passed down from generation to generation by the Japanese royal family. It is said that they were passed down to the royal family from the Japanese Amaterasu. It is passed down from generation to generation as a direct descendant.
Zhu Gaojie said indifferently: "Put away these things. There are many such things in the Ming Dynasty Palace. Even if they are the fragments taken out by the eunuchs from the palace, none of them are worth more than this."
"Thank you, His Highness King Qi!"
The Japanese king was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't care about King Qi's humiliating remarks and put the so-called three artifacts into his arms as if they were treasures. To him, these three artifacts were worth more than his life.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaojie nodded slightly: "Yes, that's right, just put it away and let these garbage go to the underworld with you."
"Lao Lu, kill him, drag him outside and kill him. Don't let his blood stain my tent."
Poor Atu
