"During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led an 800,000-strong army to the south, and the world was shaken. Everyone in Soochow was in panic, and the voice of surrender was heard endlessly. Even Sun Quan was shaken by it, and was almost uncertain. Governor Lu Su said: We can all surrender. , there is no shortage of wealth and honor. If you are only a public servant, you will die without a burial place!"
The news that Emperor Meisho planned to negotiate peace with the empire behind the shogunate's back caused an uproar in the shogunate.
Just when people's hearts were unstable, Lin Luoshan made a powerful statement to Tokugawa Iemitsu.
In fact, what he said was very reasonable and spoke to Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart.
Tokugawa Iemitsu has completely gone dark.
"In your opinion, what should it be?"
Monk Lin Luoshan is not peaceful at all, on the contrary, he is very crazy.
"I heard that the Emperor of the Empire is in Japan. If we can make a powerful strike, we may be able to reverse the situation."
Tokugawa Iemitsu's expression kept changing, and he finally made up his mind.
"The rise and fall of the empire depends on this."
He looked at his nickname Yano Heiji again.
"His Majesty the Emperor has betrayed Japan, you go...send her on her way."
Emperor Meisho waited expectantly for a reply from the empire, but what was waiting was a large number of ronin warriors.
"You...what do you want to do? How can I...my residence be invaded by you?"
At the critical moment, Emperor Mingzheng finally exposed the young woman's timidity.
But at this time, all her performance was useless.
Yano Heiji slowly pulled out the sword with a look of madness on his face.
"Anyone who betrayed Japan should die!"
"Help! Someone is coming quickly!"
Emperor Meisho's wailing did not receive any response, and everyone in the palace had been killed.
The sharp knife stabbed into her stomach, taking away her vitality and allowing her to reflect on life in her last moments.
Isn't it a tragedy for such an emperor to be born in Japan?
Perhaps it would be best for Japan to perish.
Japan was in chaos, and two emperors died one after another, but it had no impact.
In a collapsed society, people no longer believed in the authority of the imperial power. If the emperor's death was known, he might add a few spits and a vicious curse.
The Tokugawa shogunate began to prepare for the final madness.
Tokugawa Iemitsu rarely left the town and came to Nara under heavy protection.
This place, in the minds of today's Japanese warriors, is an absolute holy place.
The samurai who come here to visit every year are like crucian carp crossing the river, and the people who are eager to learn skills are even more numerous.
I don’t know since when, this place has become deserted and no one cares about it.
However, the quietness also brings a quiet beauty.
The host sat by the stream and prepared tea.
Obviously, he knew Tokugawa Iemitsu would come.
"How have you been doing these past few years?"
The owner only has one eye, but he can't hide the sharp light, and he is still peaceful when he is not looking at others.
"Only when you are far away from the hustle and bustle can you feel nature. The more you understand nature, the more you can realize your own insignificance. Only by realizing your own insignificance can you continue to make progress."
"So, your martial arts have improved again?"
"Martial arts is always the last word."
"But now the only thing I can rely on is your martial arts."
"Has Japan reached this level?"
"Are you willing to take action?"
"Do you believe me?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed quietly.
"It was because I was young, frivolous, arrogant, and cherished my face too much that I wronged you. Now, for the sake of Japan, please do your best."
When Tokugawa Iemitsu was twenty years old, he thought he had received the true inheritance of the master and wanted to have a real battle with a samurai.
So he wore night clothes and slipped out of the forbidden palace. As a result, he happened to meet the master of the night watch.
The master only used one move to knock Tokugawa Iemitsu to the ground, and then kicked him into the ditch.
When Tokugawa Iemitsu was fished out and his true face was revealed, he became angry and embarrassed.
It was hard to blame the master for his actions, so he simply punished him for accidentally touching the reverse scale and rushed back to his hometown to think about his mistake.
Although Tokugawa Iemitsu later called him back to serve again, the rift had already occurred and he could never go back to the past.
The master, who was not interested in being an official, simply resigned and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. At the same time, he accepted apprentices and taught skills, which was quite satisfying.
Now that Japan is at a critical moment of life and death, Tokugawa Iemitsu thinks that he is the only one who can turn the tide.
After decades, he finally received an apology, causing a flush to appear on the master's originally stern face.
"You make the arrangements."
Lin Luoshan was appointed as a representative by Tokugawa Iemitsu and rushed all the way to Osaka.
Zuo Mengeng had already arrived and received an unparalleled welcome.
Osaka people's love for the emperor is completely from the bottom of their hearts. After all, without this emperor, there would be no paradise on earth.
"The shogunate has realized the mistake of disobeying the empire. Da'ao no longer dares to take any chances, and unconditionally surrenders to His Majesty and the Empire, presenting the seal and yellow book. From now on, Japan will only be a subject of the empire. Da'ao is willing to live a life to remember His Majesty's grace. Vast.”
The Japanese mission was humbled to the extreme and announced unconditional surrender.
This situation brought joy and satisfaction to everyone in the empire.
Zuo Mengeng dismissed Lin Luoshan and others without any joy.
"This surrender is too fake."
The scene calmed down, and Shen Tingyang was a little confused.
"The Tokugawa shogunate has no hope of victory, so isn't it right to surrender?"
Zuo Mengeng looked at Amakusa Tokisada.
"Shiro, please explain."
As a Japanese, Amakusa Tokisada naturally understands the character of his own nation better.
"Although the Tokugawa shogunate is at a disadvantage, it has not yet reached complete despair. This surrender is obviously hiding some conspiracy."
"What other conspiracy can there be? It's just to deal with me."
Zuo Mengeng looked at the fire in his cave.
In this world, the people who know Japan best are definitely not the Japanese themselves.
But him.
His identity in his previous life allowed him to participate in many actions against Japan. The stack of research done is higher than a skyscraper.
Zuo Menggeng could understand what was going on with the Japanese people in his sleep.
"Since His Majesty clearly sees Wanli, the Tokugawa shogunate's plan will not succeed."
Shen Tingyang felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Mengeng laughed.
"No, we have to let their plans come out."
Seeing that everyone wanted to dissuade him, Zuo Mengeng waved his hand and explained the reason.
"If we don't let the Tokugawa shogunate go crazy, how can we eradicate it? If we don't completely eliminate the Tokugawa shogunate, how can the Toyo Province be stable in the future?"
As soon as he said this, everyone knew that he was not headstrong.
Only Shen Tingyang had sweat on his forehead.
"Even if His Majesty is put in danger, if something goes wrong, even a hundred of my heads will not be enough to atone for my sin."
Zuo Mengeng laughed loudly.
"Now that we know what the Tokugawa shogunate wants to do and it can succeed, we, the monarchs and ministers, should just hang themselves."
He looked at Yang Yunsheng and Gu Erzhong.
"Assemble the army, march out of Edo Bay, and hold a surrender ceremony."
