July 18th, the third year of the Grand Duke's reign.
Looking out from the eyes of Tsunahiro Mouri, the second-generation feudal lord of Japan's Choshu Domain, chief baker and attendant, there was already a blaze of blood.
Although the highland of Mikayuki Mountain where he was located was not attacked by Ming invaders, no, it was shelled and attacked by the Great Tomorrow Soldiers. But looking to the south at the battlefields around Kuhara Village and Yamada Village, I saw the Great Tomb Soldiers beating the Tokugawa samurai of the Tokugawa family in various ways. The open and flat battlefield was filled with high and low smoke columns from Ming army rockets. The Ming army's chain-mail cavalry and infantry in blue clothes (some with breastplates) would take turns to attack after each round of rocket launchers and long artillery bombardments. Every position and camp held by the warriors of the Eastern Kingdom quickly collapsed under the impact of the Ming army's cavalry and infantry. The battle flags with strange family crests printed on them have been overturned one after another. Wearing armor and holding spears or muskets, the Ashigaru risked their lives to fight under the command of senior samurai. But helplessly, the equipment, training, and even fighting spirit of the Heavenly Soldiers crushed them.
Japan's domestic samurai army, regardless of equipment, tactics, or training, remains in the long-gone Warring States Period. For decades, there has been no progress at all, and there has even been some regression due to the long period of peace.
And even in a subversive state, the performance of the Japanese samurai army in the Korean battle was not as good as that of the generals and servants of the Ming army. . Excluding those battles in which they defended coastal fortresses, the Japanese aggressors' most successful battle in Korea was the Battle of Byokjeokwan. Famous Warring States generals like Kobayakawa Takakage, Tachibana Munesege, and Kuroda Nagamasa all came on stage, and mobilized tens of thousands of troops, but they were unable to deal with the two or three thousand servant cavalry of Li Rusong and Zha Damou... And Ah The 5,000 Junggar cavalry led by Nukedun and Cewang Alabutan were no weaker than the Liao Town servants of Li Rusong and Zha Damou. Moreover, they also had fire support provided by rocket launchers and five-pound field guns that shook the ground when they started fighting, and more than ten thousand North Korean Ming troops cooperated with them - Zhu Heji still had his hand, he was here to collect the dogs. They were not here to kill dogs, so they only sent more than ten thousand Korean Ming Army infantry and Junggar cavalry to coordinate.
The Dzungar cavalry could no longer charge, so the North Korean infantry went up to fight and shoot them. After the line and shooting, the artillery and rocket launchers fired again. After the Dzungar cavalry finished, they pounced on them again.
This level of offensive, let alone Mito Komon (Tokugawa Mitsuharu) who wrote "History of Great Japan", even if his grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu were to play, he would not be able to withstand it.
Fortunately, the Eastern warriors under Tokugawa Mitsuki had ready-made fortresses to hold on to. Moreover, the Dzungarian chainmail cavalry likes archery, shooting, and killing people... They are the kind of cavalry who can do everything, but are not very good at doing anything.
Therefore, the samurai armies of Tokugawa Mitsuhiro, who were the masters of the great masters of the past, were still able to survive their repeated attacks, relying on the spirit of bushido... Although the spirit was commendable, the losses were still huge!
Therefore, after being beaten for several rounds by the Ming army, Tokugawa Mitsuhiro couldn't bear it anymore and kept sending people to Mount Mikazuki and Mount Takejo to ask for help from Tsunahiro Mori and Tsunaki Shimazu.
And Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who was on Mount Yuan, saw that the Allied Forces commanded by Tokugawa Mitsuhiro were pinned down and rubbed on the ground. They were about to break into pieces, so he became anxious and quickly sent his retainers to Mikazuki Mountain and Gakejo Mountain to urge Tsunahiro to be killed. , Shimazu Tsunaki sent troops to outflank the two wings of the Ming army that broke into Kuhara Village and Yamada Village... Although there are only 10,000 troops that broke into Kuhara Village and Yamada Village, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 people gearing up on the side. , eager to try. But the Ming army could wait, but the army commanded by Tokugawa Mitsuaki could not wait. If they waited any longer, they would be wiped out!
So Tokugawa Tsunayoshi could only send people to urge him again and again!
And Tsunahiro Mouri was not the Sekihara God of Cookery Yoshikawa Hiroie. He had already ordered the entire army to assemble and prepare to go down the mountain two quarters of an hour ago. He also ordered all the feudal lords and feudal lord formations who led troops under him to come to his main formation to listen to his orders!
"Marquis Changzhou, everyone is here..."
The somewhat hoarse voice of Okubo Tadayo, a veteran of the shogunate, came from behind Tsunahiro Mouri. Tsunahiro looked back at him and saw a very nervous face, and then Tsunahiro laughed: "Okubo-den, don't worry...I have already had lunch."
Great, Okubo Chaotada finally showed a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Lord will never forget your contribution."
"Of course! Hahaha..." Tsunahiro Mouri smiled and walked into his own formation.
The main formation was already crowded with feudal lords and ministers wearing various exaggerated armors... Before Tsunahiro Mouri walked in, these people were still talking and laughing loudly, saying something. "The lunch of Marquis Choshu will definitely take a long time", "There are at least thirty dishes in Nagato's cuisine" and so on. But when everyone saw the armor-clad Lord of the Choshu Domain, Okubo Tadashiro and two other minor surnames walking in together, they were all dumbfounded.
What does this mean?
Aren’t Mori’s specialties meant to be eaten for a long time?
What's wrong with you Tsunahiro Mouri? Didn't you hear the Ming army firing artillery, didn't you see how badly the Tokugawa family was beaten?

If you rush down from Mikazuki Mountain now, you will die!
While everyone was stunned, something even more unexpected happened. Tsunahiro Mouri suddenly shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has a decree!"
What?
His Majesty the Emperor......
The people below all opened their mouths and looked at Tsunahiro Mouri in surprise.
Okubo Chaotada was also stunned. Just as he was about to say something, the two Tsunahiro men had already drawn their samurai swords and put them on his neck.
At this time, Tsunahiro Mouri had already taken out a small box with a chrysanthemum pattern on it. After opening it, he took out a folded white paper from the inside and held it up high. "This is the imperial edict of His Majesty the Emperor! His Majesty the Emperor Said: Great justice lies in the Celestial Empire, facing the enemy Tokugawa family!
It turns out that the Celestial Army was invited by His Majesty the Emperor to help him regain his political power! "
The emperor rebelled!
The emperor actually took refuge with Ming Kou, no, he took refuge with the Celestial Empire!
"Yes, but didn't the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty say that the Emperor's title is a false title? And he also asked His Majesty the Emperor to surrender. The Emperor is a descendant of God!"
Immediately someone raised objections.
"Hahaha," Mouri Tsunahiro said with a smile, "Are you suspecting that I am falsely conveying the will of His Majesty the Emperor? Since you said that His Majesty is a descendant of God, please come forward now to restore the rights that descendants of God deserve. Fighting for honor and power... You don't think that His Majesty's current situation is what a descendant of God deserves, do you?
Do you want to fight against Yamashita's 100,000 Great Tomb Soldiers for the sake of the Tokugawa family that has become the imperial court? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "Oh my God, there's something flying in the sky...it's two balls, such big balls!"
Needless to say, Zhu Heji sent two hot air balloons into the sky to scare people!
Tsunahiro Mouri also turned his head and glanced, and was also startled by the two hot air balloons, but he quickly reacted and shouted loudly to the feudal lord and the ministers in the formation who were still a little unsure about the fall: "This is the manifestation of Amaterasu... The Tokugawa family will soon be destroyed, and His Majesty the Emperor will be in charge of Japan again. Please follow me to defeat the thieves!"
"willing!"
"The escaped thief!"
"The great righteousness lies in heaven, and the enemy Tokugawa family..."
At the same time, on Mount Takejo in the south, Shimazu Tsunaki also announced Emperor Chihito's revolt to a group of Kyushu feudal lords and their descendants, and also successfully defeated a group of Kyushu's gaijin daimyo and gaijin. The important ministers of the daimyo were mobilized.
Immediately afterwards, the two groups of Japanese pirates who were supposed to rush down Mount Mikazuki and Mount Takejo turned their guns and began to charge along the mountain road towards Mt. Yuanyuan where Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was located.
The Ming army on the Tatara River battlefield also took the opportunity to launch a general offensive. The tide-like North Korean Ming army roared and pounced on the Tokugawa army that was almost collapsing on the battlefields of Kuhara Village and Yamada Village.
The Tokugawa family, which has ruled Japan for more than seventy years, is now in danger!
