It's over, the Tokugawa family is going to perish!
When Tokugawa Tsunayoshi returned to the Inuning Mountain main formation, he felt extremely desperate.
The Battle of Tataragawa actually ended in the Battle of Sekigahara, and he became Ishida Mitsunari... What made him even more sad was that it was the Emperor who betrayed him this time!
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is now fighting for the Imperial Family! The emperor shamelessly betrayed him...
It was agreed that we should share the blessings and share the burdens with the dogs. As a result, the emperor himself surrendered to the Ming Dynasty first, went to serve as the leader of the Ming Dynasty, and completely sold out the Tokugawa family... He even accused the Tokugawa family, who were dedicated to protecting Japan and the emperor, as enemies of the court. This gave the two treacherous villains Shimazu Tsunaki and Mouri Tsunahiro the right to defect and rebel, and also forced Tokugawa Tsunayoshi to a desperate end.
It was really a dead end, because when Tokugawa Tsunayoshi discovered that Shimazu Tsunaki and Mori Tsunahiro had turned against each other, the troops led by these two people had already rushed to the vicinity of Mt. Tokugawa and started a battle with Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's Hatamoto samurai. .
Although Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's flag warriors resisted Shimadzu and Maori's troops, the Kuroda army under Shimadzu took the opportunity to take a detour to the east of Inunaki Mountain and blocked Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's retreat to Kokura. the way. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who withdrew from Yuanyuandake, quickly organized his forces to break out, but before his men could repel Shimazu and Maori's troops, Anu Kotun and Cewan Alabutan led the Zungarian chainmail cavalry to kill them. !
Although these chainmail cavalry are a bit "tasteless" - they can do everything, but they are not good at anything.
But it seems just right to use them to fight the Japanese. The Japanese samurai army did not have many bows and arrows, nor many muskets. In terms of long-range firepower, it was much worse than the Junggar cavalry equipped with bows and arrows and flintlock muskets. When it comes to melee combat, the little devil is also at a clear disadvantage. . The armor coverage rate of the Junggar chainmail cavalry is as high as 100%, and all of them are strong Mongolian men with excellent physical fitness. In the original history, the elites of the Junggar also traveled thousands of miles, all the way from Ili, to the snowy areas. Plateau, the matter of the destruction of Lhasang Khan. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, this group of people can't be compared to any Japanese samurai. Moreover, the Japanese samurai swords could not damage the chain armor on their bodies.
Under the attack of this group of Junggar elites, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's retreat was quickly and completely blocked, and he had no choice but to lead his remaining troops to hide in Inuning Mountain... and wait for help, no, wait for death!
Because there is only death, no help... The emperor has turned over to the enemy and become a dog. Who else in Japan will come to save him, the last general?
The honorable seppuku was probably Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's final outcome, right?
But having hara-kiri will cause stomachache!
At the thought of committing seppuku, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who was sitting in the main hall of a temple, felt a burst of abdominal pain - he had a stomach problem. Tsuna quickly covered his belly with both hands, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face looked painful.
When I was in pain, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Master Gongfang, have you committed seppuku?"
This person seems to be Masanao Tsuchiya who likes to talk nonsense!
"Mito Nakagan, the Lord committed seppuku, what should we do?" Tokugawa Mitsusada of the Kishu Tokugawa family also started shouting.
"Kishu Nakaton, what did you say? Why did the public commit seppuku..." This is Tokugawa Mitsuki of Mito Domain, a disciple of Zhu Shunsui.
Tokugawa Mitsuki was familiar with the books of sages, but he was a rare warm-hearted person. He couldn't bear to see the general suffer, so he approached him and asked with concern: "Master Gongfang, are you okay? Can you rescue me? Do you need to apologize?"
"Excuse me?" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was in pain and couldn't speak clearly, so he finally squeezed out two words.
"Hai!" As soon as the warm-hearted Mito Nakato Mitsuaki heard this, he took out his katana!
This time Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was so frightened that he didn't even care about the pain in his stomach. He quickly shouted: "Yaga, I didn't commit seppuku, I just have a stomachache. Mito Nakaton, what do you want to do?"
Tokugawa Mitsuaki discovered that Tokugawa Tsunayoshi did not commit seppuku, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Kokata, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Tagawa Nanasaemon, has arrived."
"Nanasaemon Tagawa?" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi frowned, "What is he here for? Is he here to persuade me to surrender? Mito Nakaton, you tell him to go back, I am a descendant of the Lord of Gods, right? Will surrender!"
Tokugawa Mitsusada of the Kishu Domain became a little anxious when he heard what Tsunayoshi said, "My Lord, if you don't dare commit seppuku, you might as well meet the envoy of the Ming Dynasty."
"Who, who said I dare not commit seppuku?" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi felt a little pain in his stomach again when he thought of seppuku. He quickly covered his stomach, and then said to Tokugawa Mitsuaki, "Mito Nakaton, you go and take Tagawa Nanasaemon, please come and see me... If after the meeting, there is still nothing you can do, I'm afraid..."
It’s really about committing seppuku!
...
Tagawa Nanasaemon looks a bit frail, always has a kind smile on his face, and has a bit of wealth in his movements... He is the son of Zheng Zhilong, who took his mother's surname and inherited the Grandpa's family business.
He was originally the representative of Taiwan's Zheng family in Japan. After the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, he served as the Ming Dynasty's envoy to Japan, responsible for negotiations with Japan. Therefore, I was very familiar with Mito Mitsuhiro and the others, and I also knew Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.
He had been worried that Tsuna would not be able to think about it and would commit seppuku and die in despair... This was not in line with Zhu Heji's requirements.
Now that he saw that Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was still alive, he was relieved and said with a smile: "Master Gongfang, you are still here, that's great!"
These words made Tokugawa Tsunuki frown, "Why do you mean I'm still here?" Are you also expecting me to die?
"Tagawa, just say what you want to say, hurry up!"
What he said was a bit scary... What are you hurrying up for? Is he reincarnated in a hurry?
After hearing General Tokugawa's words, Tagawa smiled and said: "Master Gongfang, don't worry, the matter has not reached that point yet."
"Really?" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said, "I am a descendant of the Lord God, and I will not be a lackey for the Ming invaders!"
When he said this, he felt extremely sad in his heart.
He is no longer qualified to be a dog now, it's all because of the Emperor's fault...
"How come he is a lackey?" Tagawa shook his head and said, "Master Gongfang, you have misunderstood the Holy Lord... He neither wants to destroy Japan nor the Tokugawa family."
"Then why did he send 100,000 troops?"
"Of course I'm here to help Japan!" Tagawa said, "Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Japan has been isolated overseas, isolated from China, and closed to the country. As a result, military affairs, politics, and economy have all lagged behind the times. My Majesty heard this and was heartbroken. I can't bear it. That's why the Japanese emperor asked me to send 100,000 troops to help Japan progress."
What this said is really... quite consistent with the actual situation.
Although Zhu Heji does not like Japan at all, the rise of the Ming Dynasty and the Age of Discovery belonging to the Ming Dynasty will definitely greatly raise the "lower limit" of the country Japan... In any case, this country is a scrap of Chinese civilization. Although he has never been very obedient, he still belongs to this circle.
"Then how do you plan to help Japan?" General Tokugawa asked angrily.
"My lord," Tagawa Nanasemon smiled and took out two large thread-bound volumes and placed them in front of General Tokugawa, "These are two copies of "The Ming Dynasty - Japan Goodwill Pact", as long as you sign... ...The Ming Dynasty can fulfill its responsibility to protect and help Japan.
With the protection of the Ming Dynasty, Japan no longer has to worry about being bullied by Westerners, nor does it need to resort to seclusion to resist Westerners. "
The general shook his head, "But what kind of agreement is this? The emperor should sign it, right?"
"Emperor, no, it's the King of Japan, of course he has to sign it." Tagawa smiled, "But Mr. Gongfang can also sign it... As long as you sign the contract, you can continue to be Japan's general to conquer barbarians.
At that time, you will be able to govern Japan together with the Emperor. "
What? Governing Japan together? When General Tokugawa heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked, "Together? With whom will we jointly govern Japan?"
"Of course it's with the King of Japan..."
