Under the city of Tokyo.
When Lan Yu received the news of Li Wenzhong's victory, everyone was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Li Jin actually arranged for Li Wenzhong to go to the south to block the returning army of the Ashikaga family.
Although the Ming Dynasty's navy was extremely elite, it was already remarkable that Li Wenzhong could defeat the opponent's 260,000-strong army with 60,000 men.
This achievement made Lan Yu's eyes red with jealousy.
Unlike Li Wenzhong who became famous at a young age, Lan Yu is still just a Marquis of Yongchang.
Of course, now Yongchang Hou was also beaten to the end by Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Lan Yu does not feel that her abilities are inferior to those of other countries.
Now Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Wei Guogong Xu Da, and Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, Lan Yu only admired Xu Da, and the other Dukes were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
But now Li Wenzhong casually defeated 260,000 Japanese pirates, which made Lan Yu a little incredible.
There are not many fierce men who can sit in the position of the Duke of the country who are easy to deal with, not to mention that Li Wenzhong is a ruthless man who has been killing people with a knife since he was a child.
Lan Yu thought of this and looked at Li Jin again. Now that Li Wenzhong had defeated the Japanese army, the next step should be up to him.
Feeling Lan Yu's fiery gaze, Li Jin smiled slightly and then said:
"Marquis Yongchang, don't be anxious. After Cao Guogong withdraws his troops, we will launch a general attack. This way, nothing will go wrong."
It was okay if Li Jin didn't say anything. After saying that, Lan Yu felt even more anxious.
After all, everything good happens to Li Wenzhong, and he, Lan Yu, is his stepmother?
"Master Li, we now have a hundred thousand soldiers, why do we need Duke Cao to take action himself?"
"Sir, give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I will help Mr. Li capture this city tomorrow!!"
Li Jin had a hesitant look on his face and did not make a sound, appearing to be a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Lan Yu even said:
"Mr. Li, do you have doubts? If there is someone who needs Lan's help, I will not hesitate to do so!!"
Li Jin was overjoyed, what he was waiting for was Lan Yu's words.
Immediately, Li Jin told Lan Yu exactly what he had planned for a long time.
Unexpectedly, when Lan Yu heard this plan, she was so frightened by Li Jin that she jumped up immediately.
Even Lan Yu's boldness was frightened into a cold sweat by Li Jin's crazy plan.
"Master Li, this...this is really..."
"What? Is General Lan scared?"
Li Jin looked at Lan Yu with contempt and said:
"If General Lan is afraid, just pretend he didn't say anything."
"In a few days, I will leave this matter to Cao Guo at the worst possible time."
"Who said I'm scared??!"
Lan Yu immediately scratched her neck and said:
"It's just that this is really harmful to Tianhe."
Later, Lan Yu seemed to have thought of something again, and asked again uncertainly:
"Does Mr. Li have to do this?"
"In order for Ming Dynasty to completely rule this land, this must be done!"
Li Jin said categorically:
"General Lan, if there is any difficulty..."
“Don’t be embarrassed!!”
Lan Yu's face also changed into a fierce look, and she said directly:
"Since he is loyal to the country, Lan is willing to do it!!"
"Snapped!!"
Li Jin directly clapped his hands and praised:
"General Lan is a righteous man. Don't worry, General Lan. If anything goes wrong, I will bear the responsibility alone and will not implicate General Lan."
Lan Yu said boldly:
"Since you and I have done this together, how can we let you bear it alone? I am willing to share this matter with you."
Seeing this, Li Jin stopped dawdling and began to whisper with Lan Yu about tomorrow's plans.
...
The next day, the defenders of Tokyo City were horrified to find that the entire Tokyo City was surrounded on all sides.
Before, Li Jin was still surrounded by three and one missing, but now, the Ming Dynasty's 100,000 troops surrounded the entire Tokyo city.
In every direction, there were Ming army cavalry patrolling to prevent the Japanese from escaping from the city.
The Japanese who defended the city knew that they would face the Ming Dynasty's crazy attack next.
Emperor Meiko personally climbed to the top of the city to boost morale.
Unfortunately, Emperor Meikou was very unlucky. As soon as he climbed to the top of the city, he encountered Lan Yu personally leading his army to attack the city.
Seeing Lan Yu's fierce momentum and murderous intent, the fiery red wave seemed to submerge the entire city of Tokyo.
In the end, Emperor Meikou did not say any words to encourage morale, and was frightened and rushed back to the palace in despair.
Lan Yu, however, was wearing three layers of heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand and holding a short blade in his mouth. He did not avoid swords and climbed up desperately with his own soldiers and many adopted sons.
Although the walls of Tokyo City are tall and strong, under Lan Yu's attack like a mad tiger, the Ming army did not even hold on for a day before the Ming army captured the east wall.
Emperor Mingguang believed that the situation was over, so he led all the civil and military officials to surrender to Li Jin, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to take over the four walls of Tokyo City.
In just one day, the capital of Japan, Tokyo City, guarded by a hundred thousand troops, fell.
There were also remnants of the Ashikaga family who tried to resist tenaciously, but were personally strangled by Ayu's leader. The Ashikaga family of the Muromachi shogunate was wiped out by Ayu.
What followed was the surrender of the 100,000 defenders in the city. Li Jin ordered them to unload their weapons, and then they obediently had their hands tied and were taken into the Ming army camp.
Since then, Tokyo City on the Japanese island has completely lost any ability to resist. It has been completely controlled by Li Jin's army of 100,000 people. Hundreds of thousands of people in Kyoto on the Japanese island have been pinched by Li Jin.
Life and death are just a matter of thought.
...
On the second day after the city of Tokyo was captured, Li Jin asked someone to write a memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xu Da and others presented a victory report.
Then, Lan Yu stood on the wall of Tokyo and asked Li Jin for the last time:
"Master Li, do you really want to do this?"
Li Jin took one last look at the city of Tokyo, which is rich in Chinese architectural style, nodded slightly, hummed, and stopped talking.
Lan Yu knew that the matter was irreversible, so she immediately went down to make arrangements.
That night, one hundred thousand Japanese slaves in the Ming army camp rioted, killing and wounding hundreds of Ming soldiers.
Fortunately, Lan Yu appeared in time, which prevented the Ming army from suffering greater casualties.
Immediately, Li Jin ordered that all Japanese prisoners who participated in the riot be killed.
Of the 100,000 Japanese prisoners, 90,000 were buried alive on the spot, and the remaining 10,000 fled into Tokyo in the chaos.
In order to avenge the Ming Dynasty soldiers, Li Jin immediately ordered the eight gates of Luoyang, Tokyo, to be blocked and launched a blanket search in the city.
However, the Japanese people in the city refused to cooperate, and some people even launched a sneak attack on the Ming soldiers, resulting in the death of dozens of Ming soldiers.
The furious Lan Yu immediately issued an order to massacre the entire city of Tokyo.
The 100,000-strong Ming army, like wolves and tigers, launched a bloody purge of more than 200,000 people in Tokyo for ten days.
When Li Wenzhong, Zhu Di, Xu Da, Zhu Biao and Liu Bowen came to this city, which was originally the most prosperous city on the island, they saw corpses all over the city and scenes of rivers of blood.
More than 200,000 Japanese, ranging from octogenarians in their seventies to children under the age of 12, were all killed by the Ming army.
The whole city was filled with the smell of blood. Even ten miles away, the bloody light in the sky lingered for a long time.
This massacre, which shocked China and foreign countries, was clearly recorded in the history books of the Ming Dynasty, and was known as the Tokyo Incident in history.
Historical records: In the fifth year of Hongwu's reign, the Japanese wanted to rebel, but fortunately, the Duke of Liang alerted them, stopped the rebellion, and buried 100,000 corpses. Tokyo was destroyed, and all 300,000 Japanese people were killed. It was because of the Tokyo Incident.
