boom!
At the same time that the Mingzao direct-fire cannon suddenly retreated, there was a shocking sound.
Immediately afterwards.
A pile of smoke and dust suddenly exploded from where Noda Chunpu and other Japanese Confucian scholars were standing.
In fact, Noda Haruura's entire body was directly disintegrated, and his body fragments flew around.
Other Japanese Confucian scholars were also reduced to pieces.
Luo Zhijie was one of the first generals from the Yulin Guards of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty. His biggest characteristic was that he was ruthless and would carry out all the emperor's orders to the letter.
Just like he would obey Zhu Youxiao's order and be the first to draw his sword and kill Luo Sigong without hesitation.
In fact, Luo Zhijie is not very talented in commanding operations and strategic analysis.
Zhu Youxiao appointed him as a general and led his troops to attack the Japanese kingdom of Kyoto. The reason was naturally that he chose him because of his ability to strictly execute orders.
As for command ability.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty wanted to capture Kyoto, a Japanese country that was already on the plate, and its requirements for the commander's command ability were no longer high.
Now that Luo Zhijie has led his army to attack the city of Kyoto, he has not encountered any major setbacks.
At this time, Luo Zhijie also perfectly explained that in order to carry out the emperor's order, he could even dare to kill a Confucian scholar with one shot!
boom!
boom!
boom!
The sound of gunfire continued.
Even the Japanese Confucian scholars under the walls of Kyoto have been completely cut into pieces by cannonballs.
The Japanese soldiers on the city were also bombarded and kept wailing.
The Ming army was still pouring artillery shells on Kyoto City.
Until there was a crash and the walls of Kyoto collapsed.
Seeing the city wall collapse, Luo Zhijie drew his sword and shouted: "Charge!"
As a result, a large number of Ming army infantry began to rush toward Kyoto City in groups of three, with low bodies and scattered.
The Japanese warriors who were determined to fight to the death to defend their emperor began to appear densely at the collapsed city wall, holding flintlock guns they had obtained from the Ming Dynasty, and were waiting for the Ming army to approach.
Snapped!
The sound of gunshots rang out one after another, like the sound of beans being fried.
The Ming army's rifled guns took advantage of their own firearms' longer range and higher accuracy to shoot at Japanese soldiers.
Therefore, Japanese soldiers continued to be shot and fell.
These Japanese soldiers who spontaneously came to defend the emperor seemed to be a group of people who were really fearless of death, with an extreme disregard for life.
When one Japanese soldier fell, another Japanese soldier immediately came up.
However, because these Japanese soldiers had collapsed city walls as bunkers, the Ming army could not kill them in large numbers.
When the first batch of Ming troops rushed up on the ladders, they even encountered intensive fire from Japanese soldiers.
Although this also caused casualties to the Ming army, the Ming army quickly retaliated and threw out many thunderbolts, which exploded among the Japanese soldiers, causing a large number of casualties to the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers were immediately defeated.
The Ming army rolled into the city like a tide and opened the city gate.
Then, more Ming troops rushed into Kyoto City, quickly poured into all parts of Kyoto City, and occupied various city defense fortresses in Kyoto.
Luo Zhijie also rode towards Kyoto city.
As the first Ming army general to lead troops to invade Kyoto of the Japanese state, soon after he entered the city, he saw the Japanese Emperor Yoshihito prostrate outside the gate of the Kyoto Imperial Palace with all members of the royal family.
Moreover, these members of the Japanese royal family have been surrounded by the Ming army infantry who came first.
"The good people of the country are willing to go to heaven to obey the law. They have issued an edict to the whole country and resigned from the throne. I advise the people of the Japanese country not to fight against the heaven because of the small people. I also ask the heaven to treat the people of the Japanese country well and not to hurt their lives or destroy their lives. property."
Liangren spoke first when he saw Luo Zhijie coming.
Luo Zhijie looked back at the Japanese who were surrounded by the Ming army. He saw that these Japanese looked at him with hatred, and his expression gradually became serious. He began to understand why Emperor Zhu Youxiao wanted him to carry out a thorough purge in Kyoto. .
He had to admit that the Japanese in Kyoto might be under the direct control of the emperor. In addition, most of the Japanese who could stay in Kyoto also had inextricable interests with the royal family, so they were loyal enough to the emperor. Yes, if it is not eliminated, it is indeed not a complete eradication of the national consciousness in the hearts of the Japanese.
Therefore, Luo Zhijie ordered: "Take away all the members of the Japanese royal family! Temporarily take them to the local prison, torture their relatives and relatives of the ten clans, and confiscate the Kyoto imperial palace! The whole city is sealed for a month, and the sword will not be sealed during this period!"
"yes!"
With the response of the Ming army's messenger, Liangren, Takamatsu Palace and other members of the Japanese royal family began to be taken away.
Liangren had already begun to tremble. Although he said it was beautiful, he was still a little scared at the thought of saying goodbye to this flowery world.
The anger from before was gone, only fear remained.
Takamatsu Palace was the same, his legs were trembling.
Liangren's son Xingren, who had been silent all this time, looked at Luo Zhijie courageously and asked: "What does your country do to be benevolent? How can you make the world believe in benevolent?!"
"It is a great benevolence to destroy those who are not ministers, so that the foreign people can also benefit from the emperor's favor!"
Luo Zhijie replied.
Yukihito pursed his lips tightly, and when he was being escorted away, he still turned around and shouted: "What you are doing is not a truly benevolent act! No!"
Luo Zhijie ignored him.
The fact that the Ming Dynasty wanted to destroy the Japanese royal family soon spread to the ears of many famous people.
Some daimyo who did not want to see their Japanese royal family disappear were naturally very angry, and many even decided to raise troops to fight against King Qin.
But the shogunate soon sent an order to all the daimyo not to act rashly.
This naturally made some daimyo very angry, and some even directly raised troops to rebel against the shogunate.
Naturally, the shogunate directly sent troops to suppress it.
Although these daimyo received assistance from many royalist forces, the shogunate, with the help of the Ming court, successfully suppressed these rebellions.
The Japanese royal family, including Japanese people related to the royal family, have been put on the ship to Daming.
Zhu Youxiao has ordered that all these people be taken to Xiaoling in Nandu for execution.
The reason given by Zhu Youxiao was that when the execution time came, he would also pay tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang and tell Zhu Yuanzhang that the reason why the Ming Dynasty wanted to execute the Japanese royal family was to eliminate the Japanese invasion forever.
But in fact, Zhu Youxiao wanted to execute these Japanese royal family members in Nandu for a reason that could not be told to others.
"Kneel down!"
Members of the Japanese royal family, including Ryohito and Takamatsu Palace, were ordered to kneel in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum.
And what awaits them will be the most cruel punishment.
Zhu Youxiao looked at these Japanese royal family with a cold face.
He knew that the Japanese royal family in this era did not have much power, but as a person from later generations, he knew very well how much disaster these people would bring to China in another time and space.
No matter what, he must give these people the harshest punishment and cut off some possible appearances.
Liangren knelt on the cold floor and glanced at the superior Zhu Youxiao.
