Chapter 56 Ming Dynasty Japan Province
When he took action, Hosokawa Yorimoto had already predicted Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's movements, and used the smallest amount of effort to kill Ashikaga Yoshimitsu with one blow. It can be seen that Hosokawa Yorimoto's swordsmanship is infinitely better than Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's.
Hosokawa Yorimoto took a step back.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu fell to the ground with his head up to the sky. What is already dead cannot die again.
Hosokawa Yorimoto looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's corpse and suddenly felt extremely ridiculous.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is dead, and Ashikaga will cease to exist. And although he is not dead. But will the Hosokawa family still exist? No longer exists.
The feud between the Ashikaga family and the Hosokawa family is meaningless at all.
Their time is over.
A new master has arrived.
------
Kyoto is in sight.
The Ming army's advance was no longer hindered.
Countless Japanese people saw the Ming army's flag and knelt down in the dust devoutly. Wherever Fu Zhong glanced, no one stood up. Fu Zhong is still not used to this kind of situation. After all, even outside the Ming army's camp, long arrows often shot into the camp in the middle of the night.
If you shoot it, it won't kill you, and it will disgust you to death.
He didn't know why the Japanese suddenly became so obedient.
Fu Zhong actually doesn't agree with Fu Youde's iron-blooded policy. After all, he wants long-term peace and stability and needs to be gentle. Killing people like this will never be the same, but just killing people is enough. Fu Zhong thought to himself: "It seems that I still have a lot to learn from my father."
Of course, Fu Youde took all the responsibility for the killing of Japan out of the desire to protect the emperor's privacy, and did not reveal the emperor's intentions at all.
Fu Youde also has some dissatisfaction with this kind of success.
I don’t know if it’s the two-level split in Japanese national character, or Zhu Yuanzhang’s belief that a capable person can do anything.
However, no matter what, as long as we can successfully get here.
Fu Zhong turned his head and said to a Japanese behind him: "Okura Palace, when you arrive in Kyoto, you will do many things."
This Japanese man has a handsome face and is only in his twenties. He said to Fu Zhong: "I will remember the general's order."
Just for a moment when he raised his head, his eyes were a little complicated.
His name is Ogura Miya. Or this is not a name, but the name of a palace, referring to a big shot by the name of the palace. But Fu Zhongcai didn't want to understand this twist and turn. Just assume his name is Ogura Palace.
He was the son of Emperor Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty.
That is, the heir of the Southern Dynasty.
After the Ashikaga family defeated the Southern Dynasty, the forces behind the Southern Dynasty could no longer support it and asked Emperor Go-Kameyama to give up the three artifacts and reunite the two emperors, thus ending the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan. However, Emperor Go-Kameyama's lineage has always been dissatisfied.
Emperor Go-Kameyama's last words before his death were that he must regain his throne as emperor.
By the way, it seems that the current Emperor of Japan is from the Southern Dynasty lineage. In fact, the strange thing about this incident is that after Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the descendants of Prince Jianwen were suddenly promoted to the position of emperor. I just don’t know if the Japanese have done any genetic tracing project on the emperor.
This can be regarded as the last wish of Emperor Go-Kameyama finally being fulfilled after a long, long time.
But that was a long time later.
Today, Ogura Miya's heart is extremely complicated. Because he finally defeated the Northern Dynasty lineage. The problem is that Japan is no longer there. There may be one more emperor of Japan, and that is him. But he is the last one. Perhaps, he will not even be the last emperor.
Because until now, Daming has not given him any guarantee.
He also saw something. At least Ming Dynasty did not want to reset the emperor in Japan.
As a member of the emperor's lineage, he personally destroyed Japan, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. But the problem is that he has no choice in many things. The remnants of yesterday's Southern Dynasty have no one to support them. He could only hide in Tibet under the pursuit of the Ashikaga family. Under such circumstances, it was normal for someone to be caught by the Ming Dynasty.
After being caught, there is no chance to say whether you are willing or not.
After a while, they arrived outside Kyoto.
Fu Zhong looked at it from a distance and felt that it was very impressive, but very uncoordinated. the reason is simple. Kyoto was built in imitation of Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty. But it’s not a one-to-one replica. Although it is more ambitious than many prefectures and counties in the Central Plains.
But Japan’s pattern has not been completely replicated. But that alone wouldn’t be incongruous.
Also, there was the Battle of Kyoto decades ago.
The two sides broke through the Kyoto city and opened several gaps in the Kyoto city wall. Thousands of people rushed into the Kyoto city through these gaps, killing each other for a while. It even overturned a long section of Kyoto's city wall. After that, the Northern and Southern Dynasties began, so the walls of Kyoto were not repaired for a long time.
Later, after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu came to power, he had the money to repair this section of the wall.
Therefore, this section of the city wall is very new and has many major differences from the ancient city. And over the hundreds of years, many technologies have undergone some changes. If it is exposed to wind and sun, it will naturally look old and difficult to detect. But it didn't take long for this to be repaired. On the contrary, it can be seen at a glance.
However, these are minor issues.
But I saw the Japanese Emperor, shirtless and holding a sheep, kneeling at the gate of the city. Hosokawa Yorimoto, also dressed in white, knelt at the city gate holding a box.
Fu Zhong said to Xiaocang Palace: "You can take people to take over Kyoto."
Ogura Miya agreed and said: "Hi."
Fu Zhong frowned and said, "Don't speak Japanese dialect."
Ogura Palace immediately changed his mind and said, "Yes."
Then he took it down.
A group of more than a thousand people entered through the city gate and took over the key places in the city. Prevent problems from happening. Although Fu Zhong feels that by this time, Japan's blood has been shed almost completely, and the Japanese should not have any problems.
Even if they wanted to do something, they couldn't do it. He was just a pioneer. There is Fu Youde's army behind. Even if they find a way to trick themselves, how can they face the army behind them? It all ends the same, so why bother.
But precautions should still be taken. It would be bad if the boat capsizes in the gutter.
Fu Zhong made arrangements and came to the city gate. He looked at the so-called Japanese Emperor and asked several Japanese generals. Naturally, he was someone who had seen the Japanese Emperor and confirmed it was correct. Only then did the Emperor of Japan continue to wait at the door.
Because accepting the surrender of the Japanese Emperor was something only Fu Youde could do. Even if Fu Zhong is a son. You can't go past him either.
Fu Zhong immediately came to Hosokawa Yorimoto, took the box from Hosokawa Yorimoto, opened it and saw that it was none other than Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. ,
Fu Zhong was actually prepared for this.
Because there are only two prerequisites for accepting Japan's surrender.
It is a prerequisite, that is, the Japanese must do these two things before they can surrender. Otherwise, let the war continue. These two things are nothing else. One is the emperor personally leading the sheep, and the other is the head of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
The ceremony of leading the sheep means unconditional surrender.
And everything is satisfied.
Fu Zhong had never seen Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but seeing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's expression of stubbornness, he said with some curiosity: "Who killed him."
Hosokawa Yorimoto said: "I"
Fu Zhong asked: "Who is he?"
Someone around him immediately made the identity of Hosokawa Yorimoto clear.
Fu Zhong said: "My fellow clan, the son of Minister Tuogu, the most trusted minister, you Japanese are really good at playing."
After hearing Fu Zhong's words, Hosokawa Yorimoto suddenly smiled sadly and said, "Sir, since I said so, I will give you an explanation."
Then he pulled out a dagger from his body. Open the chest and abdomen, insert a knife into the abdomen, and then cut it transversely. Blood spurted out, and Hosokawa Yorimoto gritted his teeth and fought hard, but he was in great pain but could not die.
Japanese people usually behead people during seppuku because this method of death is very painful and takes too long.
This look shocked Fu Zhong. Fu Zhong thought that Hosokawa Yorimoto was going to assassinate him, and he was ready to fight back, but he didn't expect this to be the case. He didn't know what to do, so he asked the people around him: "What's wrong with him? Why is he acting like this suddenly?"
For a while, many Japanese people didn't know the details. They didn't know the details, but they could guess some things. It was probably because of the family. ,
