Chapter 782: Japan (26)
Gao Jianguo smiled and said, "Is it that we haven't launched an attack for so long, Shimazu-kun can't wait." ”
Shimazu Tadashi was suddenly shocked, he hurriedly kowtowed again, and said with sincere fear: "The general does not send troops, naturally there are the thoughts of the general, where do I dare to speculate." It's just that the Tokugawa family took advantage of this time to build a strong defensive line around Osaka, and it will ...... then"
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Jianguo waved his hand and interrupted him. He said with a sneer: "Hmph...... They thought they could hold Osaka with a line of defense, hehe...... Even if they build an iron wall, they will not be able to stop the iron fist of our Far East, and they will still smash them to pieces. ”
After he finished speaking, he paused, then raised his head, looked at Shimazu Tadashi who was kneeling opposite with a smile, and then said, "Shimazu-kun, I want to know what you think now?" ”
Shimazu Zhongheng was stunned for a moment, but did not understand Gao Jianguo's words. Gao Jianguo turned his head and glanced at Shi Mingfeng beside him, and then said with a smile: "When we help you destroy the Tokugawa Shogunate, what are you going to do?" ”
Listening to Gao Jianguo's words, Shimazu Tadashi suddenly felt that the blood on his body was hot, his heartbeat accelerated instantly, and his emotions were extremely excited.
"I ...... Our Shimazu family would like to open another ......"
Listening to Shimazu Tadashi's stumbling words, Gao Jianguo shook his head with contempt, and then teased: "Our Far East has spent so much effort to help your Satsuma Domain defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate, is your Shimazu family so good." Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born in Ashigaru, was awarded the title of "Sekihaku" and "Taisei Minister", and was also given the god of Toyokuni after his death. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was born in a new daimyo, promulgated the "Forbidden Laws and Laws of the Public Family" and "Laws of the Samurai Family", and after his death, he proclaimed himself the "Great God of Tosho", hehe...... You Shimazu are so disappointed in me. ”
Shimazu Tadashi, who was trembling with excitement, couldn't help but stay there when he heard this. The original excitement was instantly replaced by horror, and the cold sweat on his body flowed down.
"General...... It's not that our Shimazu family doesn't want to forge ahead. It's just impossible to ...... The general may not know ...... yet."
Gao Jianguo once again interrupted Shimazu Tadashi's words, and said gloomily: "What if we help you Satsuma in the Far East to eradicate all the daimyo in Japan." ”
Shimazu Tadashi's eyes froze, he raised his head and looked at Gao Jianguo blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.
Gao Jianguo looked at Shimazu Zhongheng and said with a smile: "We will cut all the daimyo to the roots, leaving no trace of blood." Kill them all along with their retainers, samurai, hehe......"
Listening to Gao Jianguo's words, Shimazu Zhongheng felt a rush of blood, and "Teng" rushed to the top of his head, and his head was blank. It took him a while to recover from the shock.
Shimazu Tadashi buried his head deeply in the ground, his eyes were full of madness, and said loudly: "General, the Shimazu family is willing to serve the Far East as the lord for generations." Be willing to be a loyal dog for all generations! ”
Gao Jianguo nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "When the Tokugawa shogunate is defeated, our Far East will help you Satsuma Domain sweep away Japan, but Kyoto will be handed over to your Shimazu clan." ”
Sending away Shimazu Tadashi, who was so excited that he seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, Shi Mingfeng said with a smile: "It's no wonder that you are so flickering, he is not moved." I suspect that he will also be like the Tokugawa shogunate, killing the children born to Emperor Gomizuo and other female palaces, leaving only the emperor and his wife. A child born to the daughter and son of the second-generation general Xiuzhong. The purpose was to enable the son born of Kazuko to become emperor smoothly.
In this way, the descendants of their Shimazu clan have the blood of the emperor. Little Japan is really interesting. Why didn't a ruthless person depose the emperor and set up another dynasty and become the emperor himself? And then there's ...... Shouldn't we find a suitable reason and then destroy the Satsuma Domain, we can't do it for no reason, it's too unreasonable! ”
Gao Jianguo lit a cigarette. Then he laughed and said, "The Japanese emperor is actually equivalent to the role of the European pope, and from about the 9th century AD, the secular authority of the emperor began to decline, and after the Seiku Rebellion in the Kamakura period, it was basically reduced to a subsidiary of the shogunate, and it became a complete ornament in the Muromachi period." But the religious significance of the emperor in this process. Far from being weakened, it has become even more important.
The emperor became the source of power, and anyone in power who wanted to justify his power had to secure his relationship with the emperor, because the emperor was the son of God, and this status gave legitimacy to power. In Japan, the idea of a different surname did not spread in Japan, and the so-called prince and general Xiangning had such a formulation, which was unimaginable in the eyes of the ancient Japanese.
So we will help the Shimazu family to kill the Japanese emperor and the nobles of Kyoto. When the time comes, the Shimazu family can only be blackened by this cauldron, haha...... Billy Zhou has already figured out a way, and you will see when the time comes. Anyway, we can't do such things in the Far East ourselves. In case hundreds of years later, our black history is dug up by future generations, it is also a very troublesome matter. ”
Shi Mingfeng listened and let out a sigh of relief, he was actually worried that such a thing would happen, after all, it was not too glorious.
"Leave this kind of thing to Billy Zhou, then I'll be relieved. This guy has a lot of ideas, and he has a crooked belly, but a lot of times, it really works. ”
Three days later, the troops of the Far East began to board the ships of the Admiralty and began to launch the final battle of the Japanese campaign to conquer the island of Honshu.
The Admiralty mobilized a large number of ships, and the inland river and offshore steam deck barges in Liaodong and other places were almost completely evacuated. All of them came to Shikoku, Japan, and participated in the transportation of more than 100,000 troops participating in the war.
At this time, on the front line in Osaka, the Kyushu Division was still training non-stop. Shimazu Tadashi led his retainers in the direction of Osaka, holding a single-barreled telescope and looking at the defense line of the Tokugawa shogunate in the distance.
An old man put down the single-barreled telescope, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lord, we haven't attacked for more than two months, it seems that we have delayed the fighter." The Tokugawa family is really desperate, such a defense line can be almost built in such a short time, this battle is not easy to fight. ”
"Yes, lord, do you ask the general, you can't delay it any longer, the opposite side is still reinforcing the fortifications, how many people will die if you want to break through here."
"The Tokugawa family has at least a hundred thousand people in this direction. They hid in the small mountain cities, and no matter how powerful the firearms in the Far East were, they had to be captured one by one, and they could only be filled with human lives. ”
Shimazu only frowned, of course he knew that what they said was reasonable, but there was no sign of attack in the Far East. He had just returned from the general for a few days, and he dared to harass him again. (To be continued......)
