Chapter 1029: King of Japan
On the battlefield, the retreated appeasement army regrouped, and the lord of the Nagato domain, Mori Taka, rode his horse in front of the battle, wearing his whole body and holding a long sword, waiting for news that his superiors had ordered troops to send troops again.
Suddenly, the Tokugawa Golden Trimrock Family Emblem Flag on Nangong Mountain was torn off, the bright red dragon flag gradually floated up, and bursts of cheers were emitted when the appeasement army was neutral.
The retainers of the Nagato Domain said excitedly, "My lord, we have won!" ”
Maori was stunned and said, "We won?" Isn't this a victory for the Ming army? ”
The retainer was stunned for a moment, and replied, "At least our Nagato Domain is on the side of the victor, and that's enough!" ”
The Maori Outline was silent for a moment, and finally acquiesced.
In Japan's major changes, the Maori family is known for its political sense of being a must, and can always stand on the side of the victor and enjoy the results.
In the last Battle of Sekigahara, the Yoshikawa Hiroie, who did not move, the Kobayakawa Hideaki, who rebelled and counterattacked, and Mori Motoki, who deliberately stayed in Osaka and did not go to Sekigahara to participate in the war, are all descendants of the Mori clan.
At dusk, the sky was getting dark, and the daimyo of the feudal lords who had descended to the light breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no doubt that this decisive battle of Sekigahara, which is destined to go down in history, made the right bet!
With the end of the war, good days are coming!
The overall situation has been decided, and Zhu Cihong ordered Li Yu to lead the cavalry to continue to pursue the rout of the shogunate army, expand the results of the battle, and pursue them so that they cannot re-form the formation.
He also ordered Xu Qingshan to be stationed in Nangong Mountain, responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, collecting loot, and reorganizing prisoners.
Zhu Cihong himself turned back to the Sasao Mountain Imperial Camp.
In the imperial camp, Empress Mingzheng suddenly couldn't control her emotions, threw herself into Zhu Cihong's arms, and cried, making Emperor Zhu quite uncomfortable, but fortunately, there were no outsiders in the tent, only a few eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied her.
The Tokugawa shogunate was like a mountain pressing on the head of the emperor's family, and now that the main force of the shogunate army has been defeated, Empress Meimasa has taken revenge, and the mood is indescribable.
Zhu Cihong held her in his arms and let her vent his emotions, and it took a long time to stroke her back and comfort: "It's all over, and the Tokugawa shogunate will soon become a thing of the past." ”
The two have known each other for more than two months, meet and talk every once in a while, sometimes eat and live together, and the relationship has long been unusual......
Empress Mingzheng tapped her forehead and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty......"
Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "What is polite to the family, let's stay in my big tent tonight, we haven't chatted all night together for many days." ”
Empress Mingzheng suddenly blushed and shook her head desperately: "I'm afraid I won't be able to serve Your Majesty......"
Zhu Cihong was surprised: "Why? ”
Empress Mingzheng hung her head, stroked her stomach, and did not reply.
What she hinted at was obvious, and Zhu Cihong immediately understood, and the expression on her face became extremely rich.
Empress Mingzheng saw that he was silent for a long time, her mood was instantly lost, her face turned slightly pale, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't want to stay?" ”
She knows very well that the Ming Dynasty has always regarded Japan as a small foreign country and disdains intermarriage with Japan......
Zhu Cihong knew that she was thinking too much, so he took her hand and said, "In the future, I will crown him as the king of Japan, regardless of gender." ”
Without too many words, the feelings of a politician are so direct.
Empress Mingzheng was stunned when she heard this, and said, "Is Your Majesty serious?" ”
"You have no jokes!"
Empress Xingzi of Mingzheng broke into tears and laughed, showing the reality of women to the fullest.
Zhu Cihong smiled silently, unimpressed, like the richest man threw a small target at a certain woman.
Half of this child is the blood of the Ming royal family, and the other half is the blood of the Japanese royal family, and the two identities coincide, which is extremely noble.
As the son of the emperor, he was originally at the level of a prince, and it is nothing to give this child the title of the king of Japan.
Zhu Cihong's words also expressed that the Japanese emperor system must be abolished, and only the throne can be retained.
Just when Zhu Cihong and Empress Mingzheng were visiting me, the appeasement army began to return to their camps one after another, and the feudal lords rushed to Sasao Mountain to meet Zhu Cihong, mainly to inquire about the reward.
They all knew that this decisive battle in Sekigahara relied entirely on the Ming army, and they just followed behind for a few soy sauce fights.
With the strength of the Ming army, it was enough to sweep the whole of Japan, and many daimyo secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they had followed the right person.
Even if they lost a lot of people, but for Japan, which will be dominated by the Ming Dynasty in the future, these efforts are worth it.
The Tokugawa shogunate was gone, and it was only a matter of time before it perished, so it was only a matter of time before the Celestial Army came to Edo and the shogunate went out of the city to surrender......
When meeting Zhu Cihong, the lords of the feudal clans showed sincerity and fear, and performed three bows and nine bows, which was sufficient.
Zhu Cihong praised them and set up a celebration banquet in Yangen City to celebrate this great victory.
Five days later, after Sekigahara had left some of his men behind, the army returned to Hikone Castle to rest.
At the celebration banquet, Zhu Cihong ordered Xu Qingshan to read out the battle losses of the Battle of Sekigahara.
In this battle, the Ming army lost a total of 532 casualties and 960 wounded.
In the entire Battle of Sekigahara, the Ming army basically did not participate in hand-to-hand combat, and most of them were long-range strikes, and most of these casualties were caused by several rounds of gunfire from the shogunate during the decisive battle against Nangong Mountain, and some were killed and wounded when charging and pursuing the rout soldiers fighting bayonets.
The record of the Ming army: 60,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 80,000 people were captured, including 42 daimyo killed and 65 daimyo captured.
The shogunate army escaped from the Sekigahara battlefield, except for the more than 60,000 people who rushed back to rescue Kofu in the early stage, less than 100,000.
Most of these tens of thousands of people were born as peasants, and they had to face the wandering pursuit of the Ming cavalry, so they could only flee in disarray, and it was almost impossible to gather together to form a combat force.
The Ming army captured more and the booty was very rich.
The shogunate's army of more than 200,000 people used absolutely astronomical amounts, including food, horses, muskets, shields, armor, gongs, drums, tents, and countless more.
The Ming army was not interested in anything but food and samurai swords, and distributed them to the feudal lords.
The daimyo were overjoyed, but they were extremely shocked by the results of the Ming army, and such a casualty ratio was too unreal.
If they hadn't witnessed this big battle with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe anything, and that the battle could be fought like this? Is this sheep slaughtering?
With such an army, the military might is really too strong for anyone to shake!
Every famous person at the celebration banquet invariably engraved the results of the Ming army in their hearts at this time, and even used it as their last words to warn future generations that they must not be enemies with the Ming army!
If there is a virtuous son and grandson who can't think of it, he can choose to drown, burn himself and other ways to die.......
The Ming army in Hikone Castle was celebrating happily, and the prisoner of war camp outside the city was also lively.
The prisoner of war camp was crowded with people, more lively than rushing to the market, and they lined up one by one to be examined.
All the prisoners of the shogunate army, the Ming army rarely did not kill, just as Yoshizawa Bright judged the overall situation, if the Ming Emperor wanted to rule Japan, he could not go against the grain and destroy so many innocent people in one go......
At this time, Yoshizawa was being interrogated in a military tent in a prisoner of war camp, and the interrogators of the Ming army found the diary with historical value from him.
The interrogator could not fully understand the Japanese language, and fearing that it was a military secret, had to find a chanter who knew Japanese.
Zanhua seemed to be deeply attracted by the contents of the diary, and it took him a quarter of an hour to finish it, and then he looked at Yoshizawa in surprise and asked, "You wrote it?" ”
Yoshizawa nodded in a panic, not daring to look up directly.
Zanhua closed the diary and said, "Well, let's do it for half a year." ”
Yoshizawa thought he had heard it wrong, and according to his understanding, Daimyo such as Sakai Tadakatsu, a high-ranking war criminal of the shogunate, were sentenced to life by the Ming army and sent to the Ming Xingguo mining area for a lifetime.
The retainers and generals of the various clans of the shogunate, when they heard that they were not worthy of entering the Xingguo mining area, were all to be arrested and recaptured for 20 years in the Ming Dynasty.
The rest of the ordinary soldiers were in charge of road construction and land reclamation for less than five years and at least half a year in Japan's labor camp, so as to carry out post-war recovery in Japan.
Their own sentence is obviously the lightest.
Ji Ze cautiously raised his head and glanced at the Ming Jun Zanhua, but saw that he was holding his diary, and pointed to a pile of items on the table in front of him, and said seriously: "These are your personal belongings, take them back, and your two bags of silver yuan, keep them yourself!" ”
Yoshizawa was ecstatic in his heart, thinking that he couldn't get these two bags of money by himself!
However, he was faintly worried in his heart, would the Ming army secretly blackmail? Should I hand over some of my own concerns?
Zanhua seemed to see his concern, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, our army is highly disciplined, except for battlefield captures, we don't take a copper plate from anyone!" Offenders are engaged in military justice! You are very good at hiding money, and we didn't find it on the battlefield, that's your ability! ”
At this time, Ji Ze admired the quality of the Ming army's masters of "admitting gambling and losing", and then dared to thank him and left with a silver yuan, patiently waiting for the labor reform arrangement......
