Section 1339 The Fallen Shogunate marched head-on
Edo blossoms, and the spectacle is a sight to behold, and the Japanese people are heartbroken, and they do not distinguish between friend and foe.
Needless to say, this is the home they worked so hard to build, and they had to abandon their homeland, and they were burned, which is painful!
The fallen shogunate army is a pity, they lost the biggest spoils of war, there should be a lot of goods in the city, the most that the escapees took away is fine, the key is that Edo was burned, they can't stand in the palace of the shogunate to show off their might, boasting of their victory, alas!
All in all, none of the Japanese people were happy.
But overseas, there was a guy who was so happy that his heart was overjoyed, and the Ming army fleet that came to help arrived!
Standing on the deck of the battleship, Yan Changwu put down his binoculars, looked happy, and couldn't help humming a small tune.
His voice was not very loud, and if you listened carefully, you could hear that it was "a big knife cutting off the heads of the devils......
Normally, the police always arrive after the fact, but if they really have the heart, the police can also come in advance, for example, if the Ming fleet that came to help is in a hurry, it is really possible to arrive before the Edo blossoms.
But how could Yan Changwu do this!
One day late, the Japanese will die more than 10,000, this business is good, the dead Japanese are good Japanese people, as a red soldier of the Celestial Empire, Yan Changwu deeply understands this truth, in order to better intervene in the affairs of the Japanese country, he does not hesitate to put down his body to deal with those dwarf winter melons, I am easy!
He is full of malice towards the Wa Kingdom, and the people close to him are clear, but they all think that Yan Changwu is because of his father's hatred--- his cheap father Yan Siqi was driven away in the Wa Kingdom because of his opposition to the shogunate, and he ran away to Taiwan to gnaw on the sand in embarrassment, avenging his father was a great filial piety in ancient times, and no one knew that Yan Changwu was due to some kind of resentment that came from birth.
In fact, there are still people who wake up, the uncles Chen Xinji and Yang Tiansheng have bright eyes, if they really want to avenge their father, they should settle accounts with the Japanese Shogunate, but Yan Changwu did the opposite, helped the Shogunate, and killed the Japanese people, he was majestic and prosperous, Chen Yang and both of them did not dare to say, and others did not dare to ask.
Yan Changwu ordered the fleet to go to Edo Bay first, appear in front of the fallen shogunate army, and then turn the rudder to the northeast to prepare to join the withdrawn shogunate army.
Seeing the sails of a huge fleet on the seashore, their battleships pressed forward!
Like a big ship in the eyes of the Japanese people, the cannon was fired at the shore, and the cannonball fired at a 45-degree angle shot straight into the inland 4 miles, not hitting a single person, but it made the people of the fallen army feel bad!
The complete capture of Edo was in vain, which had seriously affected their mood, and the arrival of Ming reinforcements made them even more dilemma, and the morale of the army was suddenly weakened, so they gave up the great opportunity to pursue and kill the shogunate army.
Tents were set up on the seashore, and the rebellious daimyo gathered together to discuss what to do?
Continuing to march?
Strong enemies are watching, and the road ahead is unpredictable!
Retreat and flee, each to his own home, or each region to defend against the Ming army and the shogunate army.
This is a confession, but can it be fought?
Some people retreated, such as the head of the Hizen Domain, Nabeshima Mitsushige, whose shoes were like earth, and his legs were fighting, and he was sweating like pulp!
He remembered that during the period of the three generations of generals Iemitsu, his father, the former lord of the Hizen Domain, Nabeshima Katsushige, rebelled, in fact, there was still a great chance of victory, but Iemitsu's brother was Yan Changwu, the southeast king of the Ming Kingdom, who helped Iemitsu break the shogunate army, and in front of Nabeshima Mitsushige, Nabeshima Katsushige was ordered to commit suicide by seppuku, that miserable!
The nightmare reappeared, and when I saw the big ship in the sea and the flag on the warship, Mitsushige Nabeshima trembled!
At the beginning, he was dizzy with the thought of avenging his father, and he heard that the Ming Kingdom and the shogunate were at odds, so he didn't have to worry about the southeast king of the Ming Kingdom, so he became one of the leading big brothers who fell the curtain.
Seeing him like this, other big names didn't laugh at him, everyone had something on their minds, and they were not in the mood to laugh at him, when it came to the end, the eldest brother didn't laugh at the second brother!
Some people complained, they knew that they would have provoked the shogunate, after all, they had the support of the Ming Kingdom, it was a big country of the Celestial Empire, who could afford to provoke them!
The other Japanese people are nothing, and the daimyo will not know what the situation of the two China is?
Seeing that everyone was looking like a bear without the bottom of it, Shuiyue Dazong was furious and said loudly: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" ”
His analogy was a bit inappropriate, and some of the daimyo frowned.
"What's wrong with the Ming Kingdom, the Celestial Empire is a big country?! Even if they are three-headed and six-armed, this sect master will cut them into sticks! The Water Moon Sect said proudly, took out two swords that looked like snow, and slashed a few times in the void, whirring the wind to demonstrate the wind.
He also squinted at the great names and said: "This sect master has two knives, one to kill the enemy, and the other is used to kill some duplicitous people!" ”
This fake monk does not have the appearance of a virtuous monk at all, like a butcher descending into the world, with a murderous aura in his eyes, and the great name he saw was all frightened, and said inappropriately: "Since the oath has been sworn by the gods, I will not break the oath!" ”
"That's good!" The Suigetsu Daizong nodded with satisfaction, compared to the other daimyos, due to the dispute between gods and Buddhas, he was a firm downfall faction, and the other daimyos were difficult to say, if the shogunate offered the right conditions, it would be difficult to guarantee their sincerity in the downfall.
Shuiyue Dazong cheered everyone up: "The burning of Edo is actually the victory of our army, the traitors of the Tokugawa family abandoned the city and fled, and the army's heart must be in chaos, although there are Ming people to help in the war, but how many reinforcements can the Ming country come, at most tens of thousands of horses, against our army's 500,000 troops, how can it be an opponent!" ”
He gushed endlessly, and said without hesitation: "...... We have to take advantage of the first arrival of the Ming army and kill them when their foothold is not stable, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor! ”
Good idea, however, it is not so pleasant to continue, and after agreeing to continue the march, Mori Tsunahiro, the daimyo of the Choshu Domain, who was in charge of the baggage, said worriedly: "The military rations are insufficient......
The daimyo are desperate, and the 500,000 troops pulled up by the signing army are certainly cool, but the daily consumption is huge, although the cannon fodder does not need to pay salaries, they always have to eat, how can the Japanese country have any accumulation and support the war?
Their so-called "Warring States Period" compared with China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is simply a child's house, the battle generally belongs to the "county fight", that is, a county fights a county, and the military food is at most supported for ten days and eight days, and then it is dispersed, because there is really no excess food, the productivity at that time is extremely weak, and the Japanese country is even worse, even if the farmland is carefully cared for, the grain output is not high, the reason is simple, the crops grow well, all rely on water and fertilizer, there is no chemical fertilizer in ancient times, rely on human manure and livestock manure to fertilize the field, human manure is limited, How can there be any livestock in the country to produce fertilizer!
The equipment is also extremely child's play, those ashigaru infantry wear cloth clothes and fight with wooden sticks, the elite troops wear leather armor at most, and bamboo armor, the equipment of the Qin army during the Warring States period in the Central Plains is much better than them, and there are not a few who wear iron armor.
One of the leading elder brothers, the Daimyo of the Tosa Domain, Chozong and my department, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said categorically: "The supply is halved, and a rice ball is sent to those who sign the army at noon every day, and that's it!" ”
Ruthless enough, the cannon fodder originally distributed two rice balls a day, one at noon and one at night, but now it has become only one at noon.
It's a pity, the ancient Japanese country was poor, and the cannon fodder was so miserable that they didn't rebel after the order was issued.
At least when cannon fodder there is still a rice ball to eat every day, if you are not cannon fodder, you don't even have to eat a rice ball!
