225 The Battle of the Covenant (Part I)

Of course, no one invited the Ming army to fight, but would Luo Shangzhi say this honestly?

Luo Shangzhi smiled and said: "Well, it is true that it was not said clearly, but Admiral Xiao thinks that it may still be a little difficult for you to fight the Toyotomi clan, so Admiral Xiao took the initiative to send me and other 10,000 soldiers to help the battle and help you clean up the Toyotomi army. ā€

The messenger felt as if he had eaten a fly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"General Luo, you launched artillery to attack the Tokugawa army, and only a few men and horses are left to be the Toyotomi army, you and your army did not kill many Toyotomi troops, but killed hundreds of my Tokugawa soldiers, so that our army suffered heavy losses, this matter, you don't seem to know, right?"

"Huh? Typing a mistake? Luo Shangzhi's face was full of consternation: "Won't it?" Our army was fully prepared before the war, how could it be wrong? The Toyotomi army is so weak? Defeated by you? It's unlikely, right? Are you sure it's your troops that are being shelled? Why don't you get some signs that we can read? That way, you won't be mistaken! Look at you, let's waste so many shells in vain! ā€

The messenger twitched his cheeks - the people who love us have died hundreds or our fault, right? Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things for the time being, wait until we have discussed the most important things before we think about other things, well, first figure out the intentions of these Ming troops, this help, he doesn't believe it.

"General Luo, our two armies have indeed signed a contract, but the contract does not stipulate that the two armies can come and go at will, so, General Luo, you should not bring this army to our territory? Or is there something else going on with Admiral Xiao? What do you think? ā€

Luo Shangzhi patted his head as if he remembered something important: "Look at the general's head!" Ah! Forget it! That's right, that's right, this, you take this back to Tokugawa Ieyasu and let him give an answer, this is the purpose of our coming, yes, yes, that's it! ā€

Luo Shangzhi took out a roll of paper from his pocket and handed it to the messenger, the messenger took it very depressed, opened it and looked at it, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted and died in this tent on the spot.

"Ouch, what's wrong? Dizzy? ā€

Luo Shangzhi stretched out his hand and grabbed the messenger, and the envoy took a breath easily, then looked at Luo Shangzhi in shock, and asked in disbelief: "General Luo, is this really what Admiral Xiao meant?" Is this really what Admiral Xiao said? Admiral Xiao wants to change the contract? Or is it an agreement like this? ā€

Luo Shangzhi stretched out his hand to take the piece of paper, looked at it, "drank", and then said with a smile: "The Admiral's appetite is quite big, but it's not bad, anyway, we don't have too much silver, Daming sent troops to help you clean up the Toyotomi clan, why do you have to give some silver?" Besides, what's wrong with having an Iwami in such a big place as Japan? Has your country been ruined? What a cautious eye! We were really not satisfied with the previous peace agreement, this time we want to change the contract, go back, hand it over to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and ask his opinion! ā€

The envoy was driven out of the camp by Luo Shangzhi, and returned to the Japanese camp in a daze to see Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu saw that the envoy had returned and hurriedly asked: "Is it the Ming army coming?" ā€

The messenger nodded.

"What is the purpose?"

"Swap."

"Swap?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu was very puzzled, and the envoy took out the peace treaty that Luo Shangzhi handed over to him, and said: "Lord, Xiao Ruxun didn't come, it was his general Luo Shangzhi who came, they came under the banner of helping us in the war, but they brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they didn't come to help the war at all, but came to exchange the treaty, saying that they were very dissatisfied with the peace treaty we signed before, and they want to renegotiate the peace treaty, take a look, they are insincere!" It's just here to provoke! ā€

Tokugawa Ieyasu opened the peace agreement with a puzzled face, and when he saw it, his face immediately darkened.

Is this a peace treaty? This is an unequal treaty that humiliates the country! No, it was enough to lose power and humiliate the country before, but this time it is a more excessive treaty that humiliates the country! It's just abominable! It's just hateful! Shame on you!

Iwami Province was ceded in full, Iwami Ginzan was all delivered, and the compensation for the Great Akira Silver was unchanged at 4 million taels, but 6 million taels of silver to help the war was added to thank the Ming Dynasty for helping the Tokugawa clan to exterminate the Toyotomi clan, so a total of 10 million taels of silver and the entire Iwami Province were handed over, and the rest of the treaties remained unchanged and were implemented as usual.

It is not enough to cut the island, now it is directly cut the land.

Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that his brains were about to boil, and he felt that all the cultivation he had gained over the years of self-cultivation had been burned, so he directly tore this "peace treaty" into pieces and shouted: "All arms for war!" Give me the attack on the Ming army! Wipe them all out and kill them all!! ā€

Tokugawa Ieyasu lost his mind, of course, in this case, if he can still hold back, it is really the first old turtle in ancient and modern times, obviously Tokugawa Ieyasu did not have a turtle to this extent, so he couldn't help it, broke out decisively, and burst out of extremely strong strength, Honda Tadakatsu, a loyal dog-legged man, immediately responded, reorganized the soldiers and horses to prepare for war, and after a while, 30,000 elite soldiers were ready to attack the Ming army camp in the Iwami Silver Mountain area at any time.

Tokugawa Ieyasu waved his hand and announced that he would personally go on the expedition, and when he led the army to the vicinity of the Ming army's camp, he had a little hesitation, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was quite terrible, and if he started a war rashly, he might destroy the situation he had created with great difficulty, and in case of defeat, the consequences would not be something he could bear.

Thinking of this, in order to strive for the last glimmer of hope for reconciliation, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent the last peace envoy to the front of the Ming army camp to shoot an arrow, the arrow had his own handwritten letter on it, originally hoping for the deterrence brought by the strictness of his own army formation and the deep understanding of the righteousness of the Ming general, thinking that this was feasible, but what he never imagined was that the Ming army did not intend to negotiate peace with him from the beginning, just to force him to go to war.

So in response to the letter and the arrow was a dense burst of gunfire, and his messenger was beaten into a sieve by the Ming army in front of the two armies.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's face was congested, and he gave an order with a cold face.

Fight now!

The Japanese army array operated frantically, and the number one fierce general Honda Tadashi looked at the Ming army's Dazhai and those temporary barricades, sneered disdainfully, and slowly left the big array with the most elite 5,000 people under his command, becoming the first wave of offensive in this battle.

And inside the camp, Luo Shangzhi stood at the top, looking at the Japanese army's black and oppressive military formation from afar, his face was not too good, he only had 3,000 troops in his hands, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's men and horses had at least 20,000 or 30,000 people at a glance, and if he really wanted to fight, he didn't think that he could escape much, so he decided that he still had to be cautious and not fight at will, at least when he saw the cavalry team in the Japanese army array, he knew that he should never play field battles with them at this time.

At least wait for Li Rusong and Liu Wei to come over before fighting the Japanese army, and now, use artillery to give them a wave of unforgettable memories!
