Kagoshima Castle was the central castle of the Satsuma Domain. Shimazu Tsunaki, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, was sitting on a tatami mat eating when someone suddenly stumbled into the living room and reported, "Lord, the envoy of His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" ”

"Angels coming?" Shimazu Tsunaki was taken aback and quickly stood up to greet the angel.

The person who came walked into Shimazu's living room, and when he saw Shimazu Tsunaki, this person bent down ninety degrees and bowed deeply: "Hay! ”

"Hello!" Tsunaki Shimazu also bent down at 90 degrees and bowed back.

The person who came respectfully presented the secret edict of the Japanese Emperor to Shimazu Tsunaki: "General Shimazu, this is the secret edict of His Majesty the Emperor, please take a look." ”

Shimazu Tsunaki opened the secret edict and saw that it was written: The Tokugawa shogunate did not hesitate to sell the whole of Japan for its own interests! The traitor Tokugawa Tsunayoshi sold all the ownership of the railroad to the Ming Dynasty, who could garrison troops along the railway line, drive minerals, and educate us Yamato people in assimilation. In the long run, the Yamato nation will cease to exist! The Tokugawa family betrayed all of Japan, not the interests of their own shogunate! They wanted to merge the whole of Japan into the Ming Dynasty! In order to stop the traitorous acts of the Tokugawa family, I secretly issued an edict to the world and called on all Japanese samurai to resist the traitorous acts of the Tokugawa shogunate!

There is another secret edict, which reads: Wang Zheng Retro Edict.

The contents of the Imperial Edict were roughly as follows: abolish the Tokugawa shogunate system, order Tokugawa Tsunayoshi to resign, return the power held by the Tokugawa shogunate to the emperor, and if the Tokugawa shogunate refuses the holy decree, then each feudal clan will form a shogunate army and declare war on the Tokugawa shogunate.

The Emperor's envoy said, "Mori Tsunahiro of the Choshu Domain has received the Emperor's decree and is ready to declare war on the Tokugawa family!" ”

Shimazu Tsunaki thought for a moment, he felt that the power of the Tokugawa shogunate was too strong, and now the Japanese emperor issued an edict to the world, calling on all the shogunates to rise up against the Tokugawa shogunate. However, the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate was too strong, and Shimazu Tsunaki was worried that it would be difficult to confront the Tokugawa shogunate by relying only on himself and Mori Tsunhiro.

"Aside from us and the Maori shogunate, what is their attitude towards the other shogunates?" Tsunaki Shimazu asked.

The Emperor's envoy replied, "In addition to the Hoshina Masashi of the Aizu Domain, who supported the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Tosa Domain, the Uishu Domain, the Uwajima Domain, and the Echizen Domain all advocated the return of the Great Administration. ”

In fact, although the Tosa, Geshu, Uwajima, and Echizen domains advocated the return of the Daisei Shogunate, they did not intend to go to war against the Tokugawa Shogunate, after all, the Tokugawa Shogunate was there, and these small feudal clans were also afraid.

At present, in addition to the Tokugawa shogunate, the strongest ones are the Satsuma domain and the Choshu domain.

After some consideration, in order to be able to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, in fact, it was to replace it himself, Shimazu Tsunaki finally agreed: "Yes, we will send troops in the direction of Kyoto to support His Majesty the Emperor's royal government revival movement!" ”

Over the next three months, Shimazu Tsunaki made intensive preparations, ordering the creation of a large number of weapons, such as the manufacture of a large number of arquebuses, casting artillery, and training of soldiers. After more than three months of preparation, on January 3, 1676, Shimazu Tsunaki led an army of more than 10,000 men across the Kanmon Strait, and this large army from Kyushu Island set foot on the land of Honshu Island, joined forces with the 8,000 troops of Mori Tsunahiro of the Choshu Domain, and prepared to march in the direction of Kyoto and enter King Kyoke.

The small feudal clans such as the Tosa Domain, the Yunshu Domain, the Uwajima Domain, and the Echizen Domain were in fact a group of wall-headed feuds, and although they supported Emperor Lingyuan to take back power, they still did not dare to send troops against the Tokugawa Shogunate, they stood on the side and observed, and once the Shogunate Army was victorious, these small feudal clans would stand on the side of the Shogunate; In the event of a defeat of the Shogunate, these wall-roots plants would turn in favor of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

In Edo Castle, in Koishikawa Castle, where Tokugawa lived, a ninja in charge of spying entered the castle and reported the situation to Tokugawa Tsunyoshi: "Your Excellency Shogun, the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain have sent troops to Kyoto!" ”

"Yaga!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi knocked over a set of precious Daming porcelain on the table, stood up, and roared: "They dare to send troops to Kyoto!" None of our Tokugawa clans dared to send troops to Kyoto! Someone! Send me a letter to Nanjing right away! I'm going to tell the general of the Ming Dynasty that Japan is about to be in chaos! ”

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi sent an envoy to Nanjing, and while delivering a message to Wang Yu, he was also in full swing preparing for war.

The shogunate army accelerated the replacement of weapons and equipment, and the old arquebuses were eliminated, and all were replaced with all mini-bullet rifled guns, and even the most advanced breech-loading rifles and hand-cranked machine guns were also equipped.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi issued a conscription order, and the army was formed by selecting strong peasants between the ages of 17 and 45 and recruiting troops according to the size of the territory on the basis of one for every 500 koku, three for every 1,000 koku, and 10 for every 3,000 koku.

In terms of artillery, the Ming Dynasty provided the Tokugawa shogunate with four of the most advanced 15-centimeter cannons of the first year of the Zhaohan Dynasty and 12 7.5-centimeter mountain guns of the 24th year of the Yongli Dynasty, as well as 20 8.2-centimeter mortars of the 27th year of the Yongli Dynasty.

The most advanced 15-centimeter howitzer of the first year of the Zhaohan Dynasty, with a caliber of 149.1 mm, the weight of this cannon is an astonishing weight of 22 tons, and the maximum firing range can reach 20 kilometers! The shells weighed forty kilograms and could destroy buildings such as the strongest castles of those years. Because of its weight and the fact that the railroad was not yet completed, the huge heavy cannon could only be towed by thirty horses, and the march was very slow.

The weight of the 7.5 cm mountain cannon is much lighter, and two horses can be pulled up and run.

The Yongli 27-year mortar is a sharp weapon against the infantry, the mortar has an extremely fast rate of fire, and the machine gun can cause great damage to the infantry.

On March 6, more than 8,000 troops of the shogunate's new army set out from Edo and marched towards Kyoto.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi raised the banner of the Qing monarch and declared war on the fallen Satsuma and Choshu domains.

Knowing that the new shogunate was armed with powerful artillery capable of destroying fortified castles, the Shogunate decided to ambush the shogunate halfway. They dispatched 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry to set up an ambush position at Toba Fushimi, where they prepared to ambush the new shogunate army.

The new shogunate army marched south, and on April 2, the fallen shogunate army, which had already been ambushed in Toba Fumi, launched a surprise attack on the new shogunate army that was on the march.

Fierce gunfire rang out in the grass on both sides of the avenue, and the fallen shogunate army who was ambushed in the grass opened fire with arquebuses, and the people in front of the unprepared shogunate army fell one by one.

Immediately afterward, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the woods not far away, and a horde of cavalry of the Shogunate Army, riding Japanese bantams, rushed out of the woods and slaughtered the new shogunate army, trying to destroy the powerful heavy guns in the middle of the ranks.

The shogunate, which was suddenly attacked, was in confusion for less than a minute and immediately organized a fire counterattack.

"Bang bang bang" The Mini bullet rifled gun in the hands of the new army soldiers of the shogunate rang out, and the dense bullets burrowed into the grass, hitting the flesh and blood of the fallen shogunate army who only had arquebuses in their hands.
