When the news of Tokugawa Ieharu's surrender to the Japanese army reached the Emperor of Japan and the commander of the Heian Kyo Army, Mouri Shige, the former was trembling with fear, while the latter was in complete disbelief.
The Emperor of Japan has always been a fictitious emperor with no real power. Their family appeared inexplicably, and then told people everywhere like magic sticks that they were descendants of the gods, and slowly evolved into their own lineage of emperors. Those who hold real power most of the time need to borrow their names, and since they have always been "obedient", they have always been "tolerated".
Although the title "Emperor" of Japan sounds noble, in the eyes of those in power, it is just that. Respecting them as "Emperors" is just to borrow their names. In addition, they have been keeping to themselves for thousands of years and have never thought about gaining real power.
Otherwise, it would be very simple to kill their clan.
Of course, the Japanese emperor family also understands these things, so their attitude towards those in power is very flattering. After all, they have to rely on the money and food donated by those in power, otherwise even eating will become a big problem.
Now the Yi Dynasty is directing the war with Japan against the title of their emperor's clan, which is trespassing. Under this charge, as long as the Yi army breaks through Kyoto, the Emperor of Japan will have to shed his skin even if he does not die. So how could the Emperor of Japan not be afraid?
Compared to the Emperor of Japan, Mourishige still had an army of more than 500,000 in his hands at this time. In addition, they had often defeated the Yi Dynasty coalition forces when they attacked Kyushu before, and plundered a lot of food and grass.
He had soldiers and food, so he felt much calmer and calmer.
Mouri Shige never thought that Tokugawa Ieharu would be defeated by the Yijun so quickly. He still has some understanding of the strength of the shogunate's army. You must know that they currently support the imperial army and can fight many battles with Tokugawa Ieharu's shogunate.
Judging from the situation where the Ping An Jing army defeated the Yi Dynasty coalition forces in Kyushu, the Yi army was not that powerful.
Of course, what Maori Shige didn't know was that the Yi Dynasty coalition forces defeated by the Heian Jing army he led were mainly composed of ronin samurai recruited by the Yi army in Japan, as well as armies from Burma, Siam, Annan and other countries. At that time, the main force of the Yi army was all fighting the shogunate's army in the four countries.
However, Tokugawa Ieharu's defeat and surrender always made Mouri Shige feel that something was wrong. But he couldn't tell what was going on. He simply didn't want to come.
Fortunately, when the imperial army and the shogunate signed an agreement, the wives and family members of their "Southern Kingdom" in Edo were all taken back to their territory. Otherwise, there would be a large number of hostages in the hands of the Yi army. Shit.
In addition to having the confidence to hold a large number of troops, the envoys from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties also sent a secret message, saying that Qianlong agreed to send troops to the Yi Dynasty, but the condition was that they must hold off the Yi army living in Japan for about three months. Let the Qing Dynasty be fully prepared.
At this time, Mao Li Zhong wanted to have soldiers, food and food, and a reputation. Not to mention that he only wanted to delay the Yijun for three months, even if he delayed it for another year, Mao Li Zhong felt that he had no problem at all.
And as the army of the Qing Dynasty joins the battle against Yi, the Yi army will not care about it. He will defeat and annex the Yi army in Japan. After digesting their firearms, he will create a new shogunate. , and then borrowing the power of the Yijun's firearms, it is not impossible to achieve Toyotomi Hideyoshi's goal.
As long as he can defeat China, he will eliminate all the incompetent Emperor's lineage and promote his own Maori family to the Emperor's lineage.
Then he will definitely become the true emperor of the ages, more famous than Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tatar Emperor Genghis Khan of the grassland.
Thinking about the future, the infinite possibilities, Mao Li heavy breathing became a little quick.
December, the fourth year of natural selection (the twenty-fifth year of Qianlong reign)
Except for some of the troops who believed in the Japanese emperor, they fled Shikoku and entered the "Southern Kingdom". The shogunate's troops in Shikoku all surrendered to the Yijun.
In the same month, the Yijun issued an unconditional surrender order to the Japanese Emperor and Mori. The Emperor of Japan and Maori killed the messenger, saying that they would not be afraid of the Yijun attack.
In the same month, Japan was in turmoil.
At this time, Japan's Mishima was officially divided into two groups ideologically. One group believed in the Emperor of Japan.
People fled the "Northern Kingdom" and entered the "Southern Kingdom" one after another, joining the Ping An Army or directly declaring rebellion on the land of the "Northern Kingdom".
One group recognized the shogunate's surrender to Da Yi and believed that only Da Yi could provide them with white rice every day. Therefore, they were willing to follow Da Yi's management of them and obtain the beneficial policy of allocating fields and reducing land taxes. When faced with the Yijun recruiting troops, he also actively joined in and eliminated the Ping'an Jingjun to secure his assigned land.
After all, after the Kyushu land previously occupied by the Yi army was counterattacked by the Heian Jing army, the local people who had been allocated fields were brutally killed by the Heian Jing army. Therefore, if they want to completely own the allocated fields, they must follow Dayi's lead. Only by following the footsteps can it be possible to completely defeat the Heian Jing Army.
Early January of the fifth year of natural selection (the twenty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign)
The Spring Festival is coming, and under the tacit understanding, both parties are very calm, and there is no major friction. It can be said that everything is peaceful.
Compared with the difficulties in the "Southern Kingdom", the people in the "Northern Kingdom" live a much more comfortable life.
Because they were backed by the Da Yi Dynasty, and under the military transportation of Da Yi's huge sea ships, their living materials were unprecedentedly sufficient.
As long as you are not extremely lazy, you can always find a good job and get enough food to spend this Spring Festival. After next spring, you can plant some seeds on your assigned field. After the harvest, you can eat them every day in the future. White rice is not completely out of the question.
Japan's huge shipping capacity has brought about the most direct changes to heavyweight cities such as Edo and Osaka.
These cities are constantly building or expanding a large number of docks at this time, and the handling of the docks requires a lot of work. These jobs naturally provide a large number of jobs, and the wages offered in Dayi are higher than those in Japan. The wealthy landowners and businessmen on the border offered much more generous offers, which made many Japanese civilians who had never even had contact with money feel like they were living a dream.
A large amount of money and materials flowed into the city, giving the city further vitality.
With the continuous improvement of the new system and policies, public security is getting better day by day. Although there are occasional criminal incidents, they are becoming less and less under the deterrence of the Yijun's powerful military power.
As the Yijun further consolidated its presence in Japan, many foreign merchant ships also appeared in Japan, which was originally closed to the country. The constant appearance of those blond-haired and blue-eyed Fanbanyi people also gave these cities a different kind of prosperity.
When life starts to get better and better, the happiness that has been looking forward to the future will naturally spread on the faces of the people.
