During the 20th year of Chongzhen, Hauge, under the advice of the traitor Bao Chengxian, got his wish and raided Kyoto, completing the plan of "holding the emperor hostage to order the princes".
Of course, the Tokugawa shogunate knew the importance of controlling the emperor, so after Itakura Shigemune fled back, the Tokugawa shogunate mobilized the Aizu clan's Hoshina Masanobu department, gave up intimidating other daimyo, and specifically attacked Kyoto.
However, how could Hauge give up the fat he got? In this year, he fought more than 20 wars with the Tokugawa shogunate. In the end, the Tokugawa shogunate was worried that the loss of strength would be too great and others would sit back and watch the tigers fight to eat him. The shogunate had no choice but to retreat to Edo. Therefore, Hauge has finally secured his position in Kyoto.
Later, Bao Chengxian was still openly raped, and he suggested to Hauge that he forcibly marry the previous emperor, Emperor Meisho.
The reason why it is said to be a forced marriage is because Emperor Meisho's maternal grandfather was Tokugawa Hidetada, the second generation general of Edo. It was also because of this relationship that she accepted her father's abdication of the throne at the age of seven and succeeded to the throne as Empress. However, at the age of twenty, he gave up the throne to his half-brother, who is now Emperor Komei.
As for Emperor Meisho herself, she was of course willing to continue to maintain a good relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate, rather than watch the emperor be controlled by Aisin Gioro who appeared out of nowhere.
However, Hauge controls Kyoto, so how could he care about anything as long as it is beneficial to him. Anyway, Emperor Mingzheng is only twenty-three years old and unmarried, and he, Hauge, is also a man without a fortune.
Besides, as long as it was beneficial to him, he could marry anyone even if Emperor Meisho was an old woman or had a husband.
So, on the last day of the 20th year of Chongzhen, it was also the day that he Hauge married Emperor Meisheng.
The so-called one of the three great joys in life, the wedding night, is what Hauge is experiencing at this time.
But at this time, although it was time for him to enter the bridal chamber, he was not in his new house, but in the side room, conspiring with his people.
I saw Hauge asking his men: "Now that I have married this woman, when will I let that bullshit Emperor give me the Zen throne?"
Yes, forcefully marrying Emperor Meisho was the first step. The second step was to regain the emperor's position and make her Fujin the emperor again. In this way, since he is the emperor's husband, he has even greater control!
Not only that, but there is a third step, which is to return to the throne of Emperor Meisho again, and the target is Hauge himself, thus completing his ultimate goal of becoming the emperor of Japan.
At this time, after hearing Hauge's question, Bao Chengxian respectfully replied: "Master, you still have to be patient and wait at least a few months before taking a look. If the appearance is too ugly, I'm afraid it will arouse strong opposition from the Japanese."
Turge didn't care much, and suggested to Hauge: "With the master's ability, I have made this Japanese woman obedient. She can do whatever she is told. Then when will the Zen position not be the master's final decision?"
Hearing this, all the men in the room laughed heartily and obscenely.
Hauge even slapped his chest and said loudly: "That little bitch, don't think about it these days."
After finishing speaking, he immediately frowned and said: "But the Ming army has been watching with eager eyes. I'm afraid that the situation will change if it is delayed. How about making this concession as soon as possible?"
Bao Cheng listened first, and after thinking about it for a while, he spoke again: "Master, if Fujin can fully support it, it will be really easy to move these two moves. Although the time is definitely a little faster, as long as the master becomes the emperor, If I’m willing to reward you later, I believe the Japanese won’t have too many complaints.”
At this point, he was afraid that Hauge wouldn't understand, so he added: "The Japanese people the slave refers to are not the daimyo of various places, but the warriors. As long as the master gives them rewards and bribes them, it is useless even if the daimyo opposes them."
Relatively speaking, no matter what Hauge does, those big names will definitely oppose it. As for ordinary people, they are cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, so there is no need to care. What they care about most is the warrior class, which is the main group of people affecting the situation in our country.
Hauge had been in Japan for several years, so of course he knew about these situations. Hearing his statement, he nodded immediately.
So, after several people conspired for a while, they came up with a further plan.
In the end, it was Bao Cheng who picked up the wine glass first and said, "In this case, the night is already dark, so I won't disturb the master's great success!"
Turge also laughed after hearing this, and then toasted, telling Hauge not to weaken the name of the Jurchens.
Without saying a word, Hauge picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Without wiping the wine from his beard, he strode out with a big smile and headed towards the bridal chamber.
…………
Fifteen days later, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the 21st year of Chongzhen, Hauge appeared in the court supporting Emperor Mingzheng, followed by a group of Jianqi. He pointed at Emperor Mingzheng in public and said: "The position of emperor belongs to me. Yes, you’ve been sitting here for so long, it’s time to come back!”
The Japanese were already used to Hauge's rudeness. When he forcibly married Emperor Meisho before, he directly led troops into the palace. However, they did not expect that Hauge would be so arrogant and wanted to take the throne of the emperor in public.
So, an old Japanese man finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, pointed his finger at Hauge angrily, and said tremblingly: "You... you are so brave, you dare... you dare to kidnap..."
However, before he could finish his words, Turge strode forward, took out his knife from its sheath, and slashed it out fiercely. In the blink of an eye, a human head rolled to the ground with eyes wide open and a look of horror on his face. Finally stopped.
It can be seen that he never thought until his death that these murderers would kill people so brazenly.
The Emperor Goguangmei on the throne is only fifteen years old. Although countless people died, he was protected in the palace, which was unprecedented. At this time, I suddenly saw an old minister who was talking and was chopped by his brother-in-law's sword. Blood spurted out from his neck and his head rolled. He had seen such a scene before, and he screamed in fright, jumped up quickly, and hid behind the palace maid next to him.
Emperor Mingzheng was also shocked. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was slapped by Hauge and lowered his head. He did not dare to raise his head again.
When the other Japanese saw this scene, no one dared to speak anymore, and many of them even had their legs trembling.
Turge pointed a bloody knife at the Emperor of Hikaru and shouted sternly: "Abdication or not?"
In this case, as long as you don't want to die, you can only do things according to Hauge's will. At this time, swords and guns are the last word, and everything else is of no use.
Just like that, Emperor Meisheng became the emperor of Japan again.
Due to the deliberate efforts of Hauge and others, this matter immediately spread to all the famous names in the Japanese country.
When Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
When Hauge did this, even if others didn't know that he wanted to eventually become the emperor himself, his actions also made everyone feel his ambition.
Suddenly, many big names denounced Hauge. However, the fact that Emperor Meisho became emperor again instead of the Supreme Emperor could not be changed by their denunciation.
What made them even more unexpected was that a month later, in mid-February of the 21st year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, it was revealed that Emperor Zheng was seriously ill, and all emperor affairs were entrusted to Hauge, who was the de facto regent.
After Hauge changed hands, he proclaimed it to the world and greatly improved the treatment of the warrior class. Although the samurai under the other daimyo only had better-sounding names, at least the samurai who took refuge with him all received substantial rewards.
His blatant and arrogant behavior caused many famous people to rebel against him. Among them, the daimyo closest to him was the first to lead troops to attack Kyoto, named Qingjunbei.
However, when the two armies faced each other, the daimyo's samurai suddenly switched sides and were completely defeated.
It can be said that during this period, Hauge was high-spirited and extremely arrogant. This daimyo's head was hung on the top of Kyoto City, so frightened that the daimyo who originally wanted to attack Kyoto together immediately retreated.
Hauge was overjoyed and rewarded the traitor Bao Chengxian heavily. Because it was Bao Cheng who proposed the strategy first and bribed the daimyo's samurai in advance, promising huge profits, that's why this scene happened.
After this battle, Hauge officially began to declare who and so were rebels in the name of the emperor (currently the regent) and began a crusade, turning defense into offense. However, since Bao Chengxian, the traitor, was there, he did not just keep wandering, but used the strategy of making friends from far away and attacking closely.
For example, the Aizu clan was originally guarded to intimidate the daimyo in the northern part of Honshu Island, but Haug adopted an alliance approach, which was to increase the rewards and even transfer other people's fiefdoms to them, so that they could all have their own. An excuse to take advantage of these troubled times to expand their power.
Suddenly, the Japanese war spread across the country again. There were wars everywhere, and it was a bit more chaotic than the Warring States Period before Japan.
During the war, how many people would go into production and the land being barren was a trivial matter. As more people died, the plague began to spread. Not only Hauge's troops, but almost all the daimyo, every time they attacked a place, they plundered the place and then took the population to attack the next place. Under the trouble of Hauge, the scene in the Ming Dynasty. , and began to be repeated in the Japanese country.
On March 28, the 21st year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting, who had been waiting anxiously on Tsushima Island, finally received the order from Emperor Chongzhen, asking him to send troops to occupy Kyushu Island.
Although the imperial edict only occupied Kyushu Island, an island with basically no population, Sun Chuanting was still very excited and immediately ordered the dispatch of troops.
If he really had to wait any longer, Sun Chuanting would really be anxious to death. Not only did Lu Xiangsheng make military exploits in Nanyang, but Hong Chengchou was also transferred to the northwest grasslands to reorganize the army.
Sun Chuanting, hurry up! Now that I got the will, I acted immediately.
Of course he understood what the emperor meant and knew exactly what to do.
