After hearing this, Liangren was horrified and couldn't help but stand up and said: "What's going on? Didn't the shogunate execute it? Why did the Ming army suddenly appear in places like Osaka?!"
Gao Songgong was also quite shocked: "The Ming army's progress is so rapid! It doesn't give us any time to react."
Having said that, Takamatsu Palace said to Liangren again: "Perhaps the Ming army's decree to the shogunate is not just for the shogunate to execute it, but for the shogunate to make a choice between you and the Ming emperor, so that the shogunate can be used to suppress possible attacks in various places. The daimyo who were dissatisfied with the Ming Emperor's decree. At the same time, the Ming army sent troops to personally destroy our royal family. They should not trust the shogunate to do this, fearing that the shogunate would secretly let go of some royal blood. "
Liangren smiled bitterly in despair: "It's too bad that our Japanese naval force is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. We are even still in the hands of the shogunate. Our majestic emperor is just a puppet! I can't even escape!"
"Yes, I am a puppet."
Liangren stood up, said one more thing, and then angrily threw a teacup out: "But why won't the Ming Dynasty let go of this puppet of mine?!"
Then, Yoshihito looked back at Takamatsu Palace and said with a cry: "I don't even have a place to hide. Our country of Japan is narrow and surrounded by seas on all sides. The Ming Kingdom also occupied Ezosu, Nagasaki, and Kashima, and our country of Japan was completely destroyed." Trapped tightly, now I think I can only sit back and wait for death! I am really desperate!"
Takamatsu Palace said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! Even if we know that we are difficult to defeat, we will still fight to the death with the Ming people. Please give me your order and call on the soldiers and horses of the world to be diligent!"
Liangren waved his hand and said: "Why use a mantis as a chariot! His strategy for the Ming Dynasty is to use the name of destroying our ten tribes to wipe out all the Japanese who refuse to be Chinese and are unwilling to be slaves to the subjugation of the country. Now, if he really calls The King of Soldiers and Horses of the World is afraid that by then all the Japanese who still care about me will be sent to the sword of the people of the Ming Dynasty! Not only do I not call on the King of Soldiers and Horses of the World, but I also want to stop them and spread the edict to the world. Don’t stop the Heavenly Soldiers. If our Japanese country really wants to perish and exterminate our nation, let our royal family be the first to be destroyed and dye our homeland of Yamato red first!”
After saying this, Liangren looked up to the sky and shed tears.
He really felt powerless against the Ming Dynasty's pressing steps.
"But."
Gao Songgong still wants Liangren to issue an edict to make the world's soldiers and horses diligent.
But Liangren shouted loudly: "There is no but! Can't I even decide this point?!"
"yes!"
Takamatsu Palace didn't say anything more.
Liangren suddenly laughed: "Not only did I issue an edict not to allow the world's soldiers and horses to be diligent, but I also sent a letter to the Ming Dynasty, expressing my willingness to deprive myself of the imperial title and order the entire clan to commit suicide. I only asked the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to let him go. Japanese people, don’t kill Japanese people. If our Japanese country is guilty, the fault lies with our royal family and has nothing to do with the people! In this way, hum, the actions of the Holy Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will only let knowledgeable people know that the Holy Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is a An unbenevolent tyrant! He also let the Japanese in the world know his true identity as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! In turn, the Japanese who were originally dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty hated the Ming Dynasty even more! Once this seed of hatred sprouts and takes root, it will be difficult to eradicate it!"
Having said this, Liangren suddenly pulled out his Japanese sword, and then slashed at the Ming Dynasty steam engine model in front of him: "These are all these damn machines! These damn machines gave the Ming Dynasty such a powerful force! Originally, the sea could Isolating their threats, now, the sea has become a fence for them to trap us! How great would it be if our Japanese country had such advanced machines first? Ah!"
Dang!
Dang!
Dang!
Liangren was chopping very vigorously, and it seemed that only this could make him feel better now.
…
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
The small steam chariots of the Ming army were already advancing on the road to Kyoto, puffing out white smoke.
The tranquility here is broken.
Following the chariot were a large number of organized Ming army infantry.
This was the first time that a Han army set foot in the hinterland of Kyoto, a Japanese country.
Zhu Youxiao has issued a secret order to Dinghai General Luo Zhijie, who is responsible for attacking Kyoto, and asked him to conduct a month-long purge operation in Kyoto, not only to wipe out the ten Japanese royal families.
Luo Zhijie didn't know why the emperor did this.
But as one of the first batch of Habayashi Guards to graduate from the Ming Dynasty Lecture Hall, he only knew that His Majesty's will could not be violated.
"Kill Jiji!"
Although Liangren prevented the soldiers and horses from all over the world from entering the capital to serve the king, under the organization of the Huanghuang Society and many Japanese loyalists, many Japanese voluntarily came to serve the king and prevent the Ming army from occupying Kyoto.
Especially the Japanese near Kyoto.
At this time, many Japanese rushed towards the Ming army with samurai swords or firearms.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The rocket launcher on the steam chariot ruthlessly sent out the white phosphorus bombs, directly turning these Japanese into Pyromen.
At the same time, the Ming army infantry also killed the Japanese behind.
The Japanese were no match for the Ming army.
Although these Japanese people behaved very bravely.
But it is impossible for a country that is still divided and still in a semi-colonial and semi-agrarian state to confront an industrialized country like Ming Dynasty.
What's more, the Japanese country does not have enough strategic depth.
Not long after, after killing countless Japanese, the main force of the Ming army arrived at the gates of Kyoto.
But when the main force of the Ming army arrived at the gates of Kyoto, Luo Zhijie saw a large number of Japanese Confucian scholars wearing Confucian robes and crowns standing outside the door, and bravely blocked the Ming army's guns.
At this time, an old Confucian named Noda Chunpu came to the front and asked loudly: "Your country is the country where Confucianism originated! Why is humanity being destroyed now? What are the crimes of our Japanese royal family? Why should we be punished by you?" Wait for the army to invade the territory and destroy the ten tribes?!"
"The foreign barbarians refuse to be virtuous and claim to be the royal family. This is really treason! The first crime is;"
"Illegal association, conspiracy to rebel, and even instigating Japanese people to cause trouble in the capital! The second crime;"
"Illegal control of the Japanese without the permission of our Holy Emperor, and extortionate taxes, causing the Japanese people to starve to death everywhere! The three crimes."
"The above are all heinous crimes and should be dealt with severely."
Luo Zhijie replied.
"But my emperor is willing to dethrone himself for the sake of our Japanese people, why are you still forcing each other so hard?!"
Noda Haruura continued to ask.
"It's no use even taking off your imperial title!"
Luo Zhijie replied.
"The Great Patriarch of the Celestial Dynasty once said that our country, Japan, is a country without conquests. If His Majesty the Celestial Empire is so disobedient to our ancestors and so unkind, aren't we afraid of being punished by God in the future?!"
Noda Haruura asked with a trembling voice.
"My emperor is the heaven, so how can there be any talk of divine punishment? Now you have to suffer the punishment of heaven, the punishment of my dynasty!"
Luo Zhijie replied.
"In this case, if you want to enter the city and destroy my royal family, you must crush us first. Unfortunately, your country is the country where Confucianism originated. It is actually the country that is most rebellious to Confucianism!"
Noda Haruura said loudly.
Luo Zhijie waved his hand: "From now on, for the next month, all external military disciplines will be temporarily ignored! In order for this place to become the land of our Han family in the future, we must first dye this place red with the blood of the barbarians. I hope to harvest the food of my Han family in the coming year!"
After Luo Zhijie said this, he smiled coldly, pulled out his knife, and pointed at Kyoto City: "Fire!"
