As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "God, something is flying in the sky... It's two balls, so big!"
Needless to say, Zhu and Qi sent two hot air balloons into the sky to scare people!
Mori Tsunahiro also turned his head and took a look. He was also taken aback by the two hot air balloons, but he quickly came to his senses and yelled loudly at the feudal lords and important ministers of the feudal lords who were still a little uncertain about the collapse of the battle: "This is the manifestation of God Amaterasu... The Tokugawa family will perish soon, and His Majesty the Emperor will regain control of Japan. You are willing to follow me to fight against the thieves!"
"willing!"
"Take the thieves!"
"Dayi is in the heaven, and the enemy is the Tokugawa family..."
At the same time, on Yuecheng Mountain in the south, Shimadzu Tsuna also announced to a group of Kyushu feudal lords and vassal lords the Emperor Shiren's decree against rebellion, and also successfully sent a group of Kyushu foreign daimyos and foreign lords The important ministers of the daimyo were mobilized.
Immediately afterwards, the two bands of Japanese pirates who were supposed to rush down Sankayueshan and Yuechengshan turned their guns and began to rush along the mountain road towards Mount Yuanjian, where Tokugawa Tsunakichi was located.
The Ming army on the battlefield of Duo Liangchuan also took the opportunity to launch a general offensive. The Korean Ming army screamed and rushed towards the Tokugawa army that was about to collapse on the battlefields of Jiuyuan Village and Yamada Village.
The Tokugawa family, which has ruled Japan for more than 70 years, is in danger at this time!
Chapter 688 Obedient, sign the unequal treaty!
It's over, the Tokugawa family is going to perish!
When Tokugawa Tsunayoshi returned to the Inunaki Mountain Honjin, he felt so desperate.
The Battle of Tatarakawa turned into the Battle of Sekigahara, and he became Mitsunari Ishida... What made him feel even more sad was that it was the Emperor who betrayed him this time!
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is now fighting for the royal family!The Emperor actually betrayed him shamelessly...
It is agreed that there will be blessings to share and dogs to share.As a result, the emperor himself surrendered to Daming first, and went to serve as a pawn for Daming, and even sold the Tokugawa family completely... He even pointed out that the Tokugawa family, who wholeheartedly protected Japan and the emperor, was an enemy of the court, making Shimadzu Tsuna Gui and Mori Tsunahiro, two treacherous villains, got the righteous name of rebellion and rebellion, and also drove Tokugawa Tsunayoshi to a dead end.
It was really a dead end, because when Tokugawa Tsunayoshi found out that Shimadzu Tsunaki and Mori Tsunahiro had turned against each other, the army led by the two had already rushed to the vicinity of Yuanjianyue, and started a battle with Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's Banner Samurai .
Although Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's banner samurai resisted Shimadzu and Maori's troops, the Kuroda army under Shimadzu's command took the opportunity to take a detour and detour to the east of Inunaki Mountain, blocking Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's retreat to Ogura the way.Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who withdrew from Yuanjianyue, quickly organized a force to break through, but before his men repelled Shimadzu and Maori's troops, Anukodun and Tsewang Allah Butan led Junggar's chain armored cavalry to kill them !
Although these chain mail cavalry are a bit "tasteless" - they can do everything, but they are not good at anything.
But it seems appropriate to use them to fight the Japanese devils.The Japanese samurai army did not have many bows and arrows, and not many muskets. In terms of long-range firepower, it was much worse than the Junggar cavalry equipped with bows, arrows and flintlock guns.And in melee combat, the little devil is also at an obvious disadvantage.The armor rate of the Junggar chain armored cavalry is as high as [-]%, and all of them are Mongolian strong men with excellent physical fitness-in the original history, the elite of Jungar also ran for thousands of miles, from Yili all the way up to the snowy area The plateau, the matter of the demise of Lhazang Khan.This group of people fought hand-to-hand, which is not comparable to any Japanese samurai.And the Japanese samurai swords can't cut the chain armor on them too much.
Under the attack of these Junggar elites, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's escape route was quickly completely blocked, and he had no choice but to lead the remnants to hide in Mount Quanming...Stick for help, no, stick to die!
Because there is only death, no aid... The emperor has turned to the enemy and turned himself into a dog. Who else in Japan will come to rescue him, the last general?
A decent seppuku is probably the end of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, right?
But laparotomy will hurt your stomach!
Sitting in the main hall of a temple, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi felt a stomachache at the thought of seppuku—he had a stomach problem.Gang Ji hurriedly covered his belly with both hands, cold sweat still broke out on his forehead, and his face was also very painful.
When he was in pain, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Master Gongfang, have you cut through your belly?"
This person seems to be that Tsuchiya Masao who likes to talk nonsense!
"Mito Nakonogen, the government has committed seppuku, what should we do?" Tokugawa Mitsusada, the Kishu Tokugawa family, also bluffed.
"Kishu Zhongnayan, what are you talking about? Why did the government commit seppuku..." This was Mitsuki Tokugawa, a disciple of Zhu Shunsui.
Tokugawa Mitsuki is familiar with the books of sages, but he is a rare kind-hearted person. He can't see the general suffering. He came up to him and asked with concern: "Master Gongfang, are you okay? Can it be rescued? Do you need to intervene?"
"Wrong?" Tokugawa Tsunakichi was in pain, and he couldn't speak fluently, and managed to squeeze out two words.
"Hay!" The warm-hearted Mito Nagon Mitsuki took out his samurai sword when he heard this!
This frightened Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, he didn't even care about the pain in his stomach, and hurriedly shouted: "Hachi, I didn't cut seppuku, I just have a stomachache. What do you want to do, Mito Nagon?"
Tokugawa Mitsuki found out that Tokugawa Tsunakichi did not perform seppuku, and he was relieved, "Master Gongfang, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Tagawa Nanasakuemon, has arrived."
"Tagawa Qisaemon?" Tokugawa Tsunakichi frowned, "What is he doing here? Is he here to persuade me to surrender? Mito Nagon, tell him to go back, I am the descendant of the god, right? Will surrender!"
Tokugawa Mitsuzhen of the Jizhou Clan was a little anxious when he heard what Tsunakichi said, "Master Gongfang, if you don't dare to cut seppuku, you might as well meet the envoys of Ming Dynasty."
"Who, who said I wouldn't dare to do seppuku?" Tsunayoshi Tokugawa felt a little pain in his stomach when he thought of seppuku, he quickly covered his stomach, and then said to Mitsuki Tokugawa, "Mito Nagon, go and take Tagawa Shichisaemon come to see me... If you still can't do anything after seeing me, I'm afraid..."
It's really going to be cut open!
……
Tagawa Nanasaemon looks a bit frail, always has a kind smile on his face, and has a little bit of wealth in his gestures... He is the son of Zheng Zhilong, who inherited his grandfather's family after his mother's surname Industry.
He was originally the representative of Taiwan's Zheng family in Japan, and after the revival of the Ming Dynasty, he served as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty in Japan, responsible for negotiating with Japan.Therefore, I am very familiar with Mito Mitsuki and the others, and I also know Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.
He had been worried that Gang Ji couldn't think about it, and died of seppuku in despair... This didn't meet Zhu Heqi's requirements.
Seeing that Tokugawa Tsunakichi is still alive, he also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Master Gongfang, it's great that you're still here!"
This made Tokugawa Tsunaki frowned, what do you mean I'm still here?You also expect me to die, right?
"Tachuan, just say what you want to say, hurry up!"
What he said was a bit scary... Hurry up, what are you doing?Is he reincarnated in a hurry?
Hearing General Tokugawa's words, Tagawa smiled and said, "Master Gongfang, don't worry, the matter hasn't reached that point yet."
"Really?" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said, "I am a descendant of the god, and I will not be a running dog for Ming Kou!"
When he said this, don't mention how sad he was.
He is not qualified to be a dog now, and he blames the emperor for being bad...
"How can you be a running dog?" Tagawa shook his head and said, "Master Gongfang, you have misunderstood the Holy Lord...he does not want to destroy Japan, nor does he want to destroy the Tokugawa family."
"Then why did he send [-] troops?"
"Of course they came to help Japan!" Tagawa said. "Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Japan has been hanging overseas, severing China, and closing the country. As a result, military affairs, politics, and economy are all behind the times. My sage heard it and felt deeply. I can't bear it. That's why the Japanese emperor asked me to send [-] troops to help Japan progress."
What this said is really... quite in line with the actual situation.
Although Zhu Hechi doesn't like Japan at all, the rise of Ming Dynasty and the era of great exploration belonging to Ming Dynasty will definitely greatly raise the "lower limit" of Japan... In any case, this country is a scrap of Chinese civilization.Although he has not been very obedient, he belongs to this circle after all.
"Then how are you going to help Japan?" General Tokugawa asked angrily.
"Gongfang," Tagawa Nanasaemon smiled and took out two large-sized thread-bound books, and placed them in front of General Tokugawa, "Here are two copies of "Da Ming-Japan Goodwill Agreement", as long as you sign it... ...Da Ming can fulfill the responsibility of protecting and helping Japan.
With the protection of Ming Dynasty, Japan no longer has to worry about being bullied by Westerners, nor does it need to use closed-door methods to resist Westerners. "
The general shook his head, "But this contract should be signed by the emperor, right?"
"The emperor, no, of course the king of Japan wants 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 who conquers barbarians.
At that time, you will be able to govern Japan together with the Emperor. "
What?Govern Japan together?When General Tokugawa heard this, he immediately came to the spirit, "Together? With whom to govern Japan together?"
"Of course it's with the king of Japan..."
Chapter 689 The Kingdom of Japan and the Japanese Shogunate
The emperor's grace is mighty!
When Tokugawa Tsunayoshi finished reading "The Great Ming Dynasty - A Promise of Goodwill with Japan" brought to him by Tagawa Nanasaemon, the only words left in his heart were "the great grace of the emperor".
Because this "goodwill covenant" is quite friendly to the defeated Tokugawa family.
According to this treaty, first of all, Japan will be divided into East and West by the Aifa Pass of the Hokuriku Road, the Bupo Pass of the Zhongsen Road, and the Suzuka Pass of the Tokaido. The shogun ruled.
Secondly, the Tokugawa shogunate's Tenryo, Chin-Fan, and Pudai-Fan in the Western Kingdom will be withdrawn, and the vacated land will be redistributed to the Japanese king.
Third, the Tokugawa shogunate must submit to the Japanese king and the Ming emperor at the same time, and the shogun must accept the canonization of the Japanese king, but the shogunate retainers no longer need to submit to the king, they only need to be loyal to the shogunate.
Fourth, the Tokugawa shogunate had to set aside a territory of about 100 million shi from Bupoguan, and the east of Suzuka Pass belonged to Mino, Owari, and Ise Three Kingdoms (parts of Mino and Ise belonged to Xiguo) as the king's territory. Hidden in the ground.
Fifth, both the Japanese king and the shogun must submit to the Ming Dynasty and accept canonization.Among them, the Japanese king was given the title of prince, and the shogun was given the title of county king.
Sixth, the shogunate is not allowed to station Ming-style armies in the four countries of Mino, Owari, Ise, and Echizen (north of Aifaguan). Also accept the supervision of the garrison of the Celestial Dynasty.
Seventh, the shogunate leased Owari-Nagoya Castle and its surrounding ten miles to the Emperor Taiming, and the Emperor Taiming invested in the construction of Nagoya Tenno Castle near Nagoya Castle as a free commercial port.
Eighth, Ming will station troops on Ezo Island in Japan to protect Japan from the aggression of Spain, Holland, England and other countries, so it is necessary to enclose land on Ezo Island.However, Ming’s Yezo garrison troops would not enclose land from the shogunate vassals’ land, but would only enclose undeveloped land.
Ninth, the Ming court will directly recruit samurai and ronin to join the army in Japan, and neither the king of Japan nor the shogun shall stop it.
Tenth, the land of Japan will be limited to Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, Ezo and its affiliated islands.The ownership of the "Ming leased land", including Nagoya Tenno Castle and the Ezo settlements, still belongs to Japan.
The above ten items are called the "Ten Items of Tomorrow's Goodwill" by later generations. They are the guarantee of Japan's long-term stability and stability, and they are also a sign that Japan has officially shed its status as an "orphan in East Asia" and joined the prosperous, wealthy, and progressive family of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty.
At the same time, Japan's acceptance of the "Da Ming-Japan Goodwill Treaty" also marked that Japan completely abandoned its efforts to build the Japanese Celestial Dynasty, and instead accepted its position as a part of the Great Ming Dynasty.
The concept of a sovereign state, equality between countries, and a nation-state all originated from the Treaty of Westphalia signed after the 30-year war in Europe.In the 17th century in the East, or even other regions outside of Europe, this set of ideas did not exist at all.
As far as Japan is concerned, it must either build its own celestial dynasty; or implement a closed country and sever ties with the Chinese civilization circle in East Asia; or it must recognize the suzerainty of the Chinese dynasties.
In fact, the Japanese emperor has been playing the role of a Chinese emperor.In the original history, when Japan rose rapidly through a series of internal reforms and external wars such as the Meiji Restoration, the Sino-Japanese War, and the Russo-Japanese War, they really began to work hard to establish a Japanese dynasty...
In history, before Japan was forcibly opened by Westerners, the foreign policy it adopted was a long-term closed-door policy-in fact, Japan has a long history of closed-door policy. Since the collapse of the Tang Dynasty in China, Japan has The country began to be locked down. Although it was temporarily opened due to war and other reasons, most of the time, Japan was closed and locked down.
And when Japan's closed-door policy was broken by Ming Dynasty instead of by the West, there was only one way before it - to recognize the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty and join it!
As the top members of the Tokugawa shogunate that ruled Japan, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, Tokugawa Mitsuki, Tokugawa Mitsusada and others already knew that this day would come sooner or later—the reason why Japan’s closed country for hundreds of years before It worked because the Huaxia Dynasty did not have enough sea power to pry open Japan's gate.What really protects Japan is not Japan's own national power, but the ocean that surrounds Japan.
And when Ming's warships could easily sail around Japan, Japan's seclusion was already unsustainable.
Once the closed country is broken... besides joining the Celestial Dynasty, does Japan have any other options?
Japan, which does not have a navy and does not have the financial resources to build a powerful navy, is absolutely impossible to resist Ming Dynasty, let alone counterattack.
And it is impossible to win if you are beaten all the time.
In addition, joining the Celestial Dynasty and recognizing the suzerainty of the Celestial Emperor is actually not too bad for the feudal lords and people of Japan.
Just as Tokugawa Tsunayoshi felt the great grace of the emperor, the same copy of "Da Ming-Japan Goodwill Covenant" was also sent to the Emperor of Japan, who was about to become a king, by Yi Dongjing and Aoi Ando. Ren's hands.
Shiren has been playing the emperor for a long time, and he is a little bit into the show, so after learning that he can actually only get half of Japan, he is still a little dissatisfied.
"Isn't this going to divide the country of Japan into two? The west country is my country, not my country. It is a kingdom of widows, and the east side is the general country of the Tokugawa family..."
Hearing Shiren's words, Yiyi and Aoi were almost speechless.You are a "play emperor", now you have half of Japan, and you are also the suzerain of the other half of Japan, and you have a hiding place of 200 million koku, and you can still have a beauty pageant in the half of Japan you have, you are still dissatisfied!
Is this Japanese king going to be replaced by someone else?
Yiyi met Aoi's eyes, and decided to give Shiren one last chance, otherwise he would have to change.
"Your Majesty," said a winter scripture, "without the authority of the Heavenly Court, we would not even be able to control the capital, let alone Japan!"
Aoi also said: "My lord, this treaty is actually to protect you, not the Tokugawa family. Although the Tokugawa family lost the Battle of Tataragawa, they still have a large number of territories and retainers. Now Tokugawa Tsunayoshi has passed away. Submit to Son of Heaven, if you don’t obey Son of Heaven, then it will be a war between you and Gangji! What will you use to defeat Gangji?”
"I'm a widow..." Zhiren was still a little confused.
A winter scripture said loudly: "Your Majesty, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi has now surrendered to the Emperor of Heaven and accepted the title of King of Edo County! If you are not willing to accept the surrender of Tsunayoshi, then the Emperor of Heaven will replace you. Become the only lord of Tsunayoshi and the Tokugawa shogunate!
At that time, you will have nothing! "
I have nothing... I can't even be an actor!
No, I can't even be a human being!
Although Shiren has a tough personality, he is not stupid. Otherwise, how could he have died under the relatively strong Tokugawa shogunate?
After feeling Guan Bai's winter scriptures and the murderous aura of Great Ming envoy Aoi Anto, he immediately shrank back in a sensible manner.
"Think about it carefully, actually it's good to divide into two." Shiren nodded and said, "Those Bando samurai have always been brutal and rude, and I'm annoyed when I see them, why don't I let the Tokugawa family deal with it?" .
By the way, when can the widow move into Erjo City?In addition, the widow's harem... and the widow's expenses..."
It really is the Ming Lord!
Yiyi Dongjing laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you can move into Ertiao City today!"
Aoi Anton said: "The youngest daughter of the minister, A Liang, is quite beautiful, and can be dedicated to the king... and the eldest daughter of the minister, A Zhen, is also the concubine of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
"That's great!" King Zhiren smiled, "The widow will be a relative of the Great Mingzi from now on..."
Chapter 690 If you want to conquer America, you must first conquer Japan!
"My lord! The tall tower ahead is Osaka Castle. I, a Junggar warrior, have taken over the city defense of Osaka. The king of Japan has already greeted the holy driver in the city under the Osaka castle!"
Anukedun led a group of Junggar chain armored cavalry and hurried back from the front, then got off his horse and rushed to Zhu Heqi, knelt down on one knee, and pulled off the veil covering his face, revealing Zhang was already a little tanned, but still had a pretty face, and then loudly reported the latest progress of the Junggar cavalry led by her and Tseng Taiji.
The brigade led by Zhu Heqi was resting on the ground, and the officers and soldiers sat together quietly and neatly, silently eating their marching rations—rice balls with a bit of pickled fish.Most of the people looked a little tired. After crossing the Kanmon Strait and setting foot on the land of Honshu Island, Japan, they headed east all the way, and they had walked nearly a thousand miles.Although all the vassals passing by along the way expressed their surrender to the Great Ming Dynasty, they also offered to provide rations, fodder, and open space for the passing army to set up camp.But because the [-] troops are moving very fast, they have to advance about [-] miles a day, and the road conditions in Japan are really not very good.So everyone is very tired.But Zhu Heqi still insisted that everyone walk the thousand miles!
Because he needs to use the illustrious military capacity of the [-] troops to frighten the Xiaoxiao in Japan and cut off their thoughts of rebelling against the Celestial Dynasty.This is the so-called conquest of Japan!Through conquest, let the Japanese devils be completely convinced, don't even think about closing the country, let alone leaving Asia and entering Europe.
There is only one way out in front of 2000 million Japanese devils, and that is to become part of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty and provide a source of troops and a logistics base for the Great Tomorrow Dynasty's next conquest.
