"N-Nani?"
The Japanese king couldn't help but speak his native dialect.
He can understand the Central Plains dialect. The Japanese country is a vassal state of the Central Plains. In addition to being raised as mascots, the Japanese kings in the past generations were not completely useless. They have to learn tea ceremony, etiquette, Chinese language, and various types of academics. In addition to political tactics, the Japanese king has countless things to learn. Although he may not be able to learn it, he still has to learn it symbolically.
Fortunately, the Japanese king learned the Central Plains language, so he could understand what King Qi was saying.
Unfortunately, he heard King Qi saying that he wanted to kill him.
"Qiaodou Sack, His Highness King Qi, we can discuss and solve something if we have something to do."
The Japanese king just turned eighteen this year. He said that he was still young and didn't want to die yet. He tried hard to defend himself, "Your Highness, King Qi, whether I die or not doesn't mean anything to you, right?"
"It makes sense." Zhu Gaojie replied seriously, "I just want to kill you, Lao Lu, go and kill him."
Lu Chaoyang expressionlessly pulled out the sharp Xiuchun knife from the scabbard at his waist, and slowly approached the Japanese king. It was like the god of death knocking on the door, and black and white Wu Chang crossed out your name with cinnabar on the book of life and death. It's frighteningly smooth.
The Japanese king hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, I am willing to give up all my wealth and only ask you to keep my life. Please believe that the wealth accumulated by the kings of the past dynasties will definitely move you!"
Zhu Gaojie said with emotion: "Foolish, if I kill you, the wealth accumulated by the Japanese kings in the past will also belong to me!"
The Japanese king: "???"
Qiaodou Sack, what he said made sense, and for a moment I couldn’t refute it!
idiot! Why are there people like King Qi in this world who don't play by the rules?
"Your Highness King Qi, please listen to me."
"If I don't listen, I want to kill you."
"Your Highness King Qi, will killing me do you any good?"
The Japanese king no longer cares about anything in order to save his life, "You may not understand the status of our Japanese king in the hearts of the Japanese people. In their hearts, the Japanese king is as majestic as a god. If you kill me, it will inevitably cause continuous troubles in the Japanese country." Rebellion. This is why the shoguns who control the power of the Japanese country have changed from generation to generation, but the Japanese kings have always been passed down from generation to generation. As long as you leave my life, I swear to Amaterasu in the name of the ancestors of the past, and you will be the king of Japan for generations to come. Be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and never betray, this oath will be learned by all the ghosts and gods in the world!"
Hearing this, Lu Chaoyang couldn't help but stop and turned to look at King Qi.
He felt that what Xiao Baga said made sense.
Zhu Gaojie also felt that this King Baga was not lying to him.
"What you said makes sense, but that doesn't stop me from killing you."
Zhu Gaojie waved his hand, "Let's do it."
The Japanese king forced himself to use his eloquence to save his life for several minutes. However, Lu Chaoyang's knife was very fast. He stepped forward quickly and slashed the blade towards the Japanese king's throat!
The Japanese king wanted to say something more, but the Xiuchun Sword had chopped his neck into pieces, and large flowers of blood spurted out. His head rolled to the ground, rolled twice and then stopped.
Lu Chaoyang put the blood-stained Xiuchun knife back into its scabbard, cupped his fist at King Qi and said, "Your Majesty, I think what the Japanese king just said is indeed reasonable. Now that we kill him, what will happen if the Japanese mutiny happens?"
"An Xin, I had already counted on this day when we were in Jinling City."
Zhu Gaojie's eyes gradually turned cold, "The senior officials of the Japanese country have all come with the Japanese king. This saves me the effort of looking for them one by one. Kill them all! Hang their heads on the city wall to warn everyone, including the shogunate. After killing the high-level officials, guardian daimyo, and aristocratic families, Japan will not be able to organize any large-scale rebellion. Well... the Japanese royal family should remain in Kyoto Prefecture, Nara and other places. After our army takes control of Japan, we can put these maggots away. Find them all one by one and kill them!"
Lu Chaoyang was stunned for a moment and then said after hesitation: "Your Majesty, I would like to venture to say that your approach is indeed effective in the short term. It can guarantee the dominance of Ming Dynasty in the Japanese territory for at least one or two years. But in ten years, Twenty years from now, the hidden dangers left within the Japanese country will explode sooner or later."
Zhu Gaojie raised his finger: "First of all, under my rule, the Japanese country will not have this kind of civil strife, because compared to their Japanese king, I am their god, and their life and death are under my control. Only Only by obeying can you find peace.”
"Secondly."
When Zhu Gaojie said this, he grinned, but the smile was filled with bloodthirsty cruelty: "When civil strife breaks out, then suppress it. If suppression cannot solve the problem, then massacre. After killing this generation of people who believe in the Japanese king, the next generation of Japanese people will , whoever teaches them to believe in the Japanese king will be killed!"
He doesn't like to use massacre to conquer a nation, because it is too cumbersome and massacre cannot solve the problem, but burning their Bibles can conquer them forever.
There is no need to show mercy to Japan.
These people have a strong sense of hostility in their bones. The gentler your methods are, the more ferocious these people will become. But the stronger you are, the more loyal these people will be like a pug.
…
Outside the commander's camp, the senior officials of the Japanese country looked eagerly, waiting for their Japanese king to come out of the commander's camp.
However, it was not the Japanese king who came out, but Lu Chaoyang.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi stepped forward and asked: "Master Lu, His Highness King Qi has decided to deal with us. Where is our king?"
Unlike the Japanese king, these senior officials of the Japanese country had not learned the Central Plains dialect, and they spoke in a gibberish-like manner, which Lu Chaoyang was stunned for a moment and did not understand.
But he didn't care whether he could understand or not, and waved to Su Wen who was patrolling with guards outside the commander's camp.
"Su Wen, come here and bring a few people to kill all these Japanese people. The prince said that their heads should be hung on the wall of the Japanese capital of Kyoto."
"okay."
After saying that, Lu Chaoyang turned around and returned to the commander's camp, and Su Wenze came over with a few guards from the commander's camp.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi asked Su Wen distressedly: "Sir, what did Mr. Lu just say to you? Did he tell us to return to Kyoto Prefecture and wait?"
Su Wen didn't understand what Xiao Baga was saying. He nodded perfunctorily: "Ah, yes, yes, yes. Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I know that you are probably going to die."
Ashikaga Yoshinori didn't understand either, but when he saw the Ming army general in front of him had such a good attitude, he thought it was King Qi who wanted to treat them preferentially.
Seeing the two men singing along, the rest of the Japanese high-level officials hurriedly came over and asked Ashikaga Yoshimichi: "How is it? What are the Ming army going to do with us?"
Ashikaga Yoshimochi replied triumphantly: "Don't worry, gentlemen. I have already asked. The Ming army will treat us preferentially. You will take care of us in the future. You can eat and drink as you should. It will not have any impact."
The senior Japanese officials breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, that's good."
"Hmph, it seems that King Qi of the Ming Dynasty still has some ideas in mind. Only by relying on us can they maintain their rule."
"This is the Japanese country. Even if King Qi defeats us, he will still extend an olive branch to us, haha."
"We are not defeated, we just win in a different way!"
Su Wen heard these little Baga chirping and nodded: "Ah, yes, yes."
He put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist and slowly revealed the snow-white blade.
…
The Ming army entered the Japanese capital of Kyoto, but the remaining Japanese troops did not resist and were captured without any resistance.
The next day, rows of heads were hung on the walls of Kyoto in Japan. They were all the heads of high-ranking officials in Japan. Their blackened faces were stained with blood, and panic could be seen in their dull eyes.
These Japanese high-level officials never expected that it would end like this.
They ended their sinful lives with blood and killing.
After the Ming army occupied Kyoto Prefecture, under the arrangement of Zhu Gaojie, it began to spread to various parts of the Japanese country, stationing troops on the four major Japanese islands of Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu, and Hokkaido to suppress local unrest.
The native Japanese army had been wiped out in Kyushu, and the Ming army's garrison did not have any obstacles at all. In just a few days, it controlled all the towns and cities in the Japanese territory.
The local residents didn't realize what happened at first. They only knew that their daimyo went out to fight with his army and never came back. A group of troops they didn't recognize stationed in the area and took over the rule of the daimyo. .
After that, they learned an unheard news.
——The Japanese king was killed!
This is simply sensational! The Japanese kings in the past dynasties often made small moves to resist the rule of the senior officials, and were then ruthlessly suppressed. Even so, no senior official ever dared to openly kill the Japanese king!
The status of the Japanese king in the hearts of the people is too high. The previous generation of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu succeeded him as the general of the conquest of barbarians at the age of eleven. After taking office, he consolidated his position with his talented tactics and conquered the East China Sea, Sanin and other places. Protecting the name, intimidating the high-ranking Japanese officials, and finally completing the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, pushing his power and fame to the pinnacle.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu came up with the idea of deposing the original Japanese king and proclaiming himself king, but he was unanimously opposed and ultimately failed.
From this we can see the importance of the mascot of the Japanese King.
It doesn't matter whether the Japanese king has power or not, but he must have something like this to stabilize the situation.
Now that the Ming army had killed the Japanese king, it instantly aroused the anger of the Japanese natives, and mutinies and uprisings had even begun in some places.
However, at this time, all the Japanese guardian daimyo in various places had been killed by Zhu Gaojie in Kyoto Prefecture. The local indigenous people were leaderless and were easily suppressed by the Ming army with force.
Under Zhu Gaojie's iron-blooded hand, he ended the Japanese resistance with blood and war. After the turmoil, there was a long period of calm.
In the beginning, human beings are inherently evil. Idiots are not ignorant and kind, but more primitive evil.
When a brave man is angry, he will draw his sword against the stronger; when a timid man is angry, he will draw his sword against the weaker.
Zhu Gaojie did not see a single brave man on the four islands of Japan. After he conquered an island, he only saw the incompetent rage of the weak and the cowardice of the disparity in human strength.
Break their backs!
Surrender or die!
