550 Give up resistance
Keizo Harada: "Among the countries of the East, they have grown up by absorbing the nutrients of Chinese civilization, whether it is Korea, Vietnam or Japan, the roots of culture are deeply rooted in Chinese civilization, and Chinese civilization is also the mother civilization and core civilization of Oriental civilization. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Tang Dynasty is also the best representative of Chinese civilization. Looking at our Japan, in fact, it was not achieved under the influence of Tang and Song customs. It's just that after all, the Japanese are still too small, they can't see the world, and they are even narrower. Although Uncle Boyi is virtuous, he is famous for his master. Although Yan Yuan is diligent in learning, he is more obvious with his tail. Only when Japan closely follows Datang and becomes a part of the great country of Datang can it share the greatest glory! ”
Lin Ziping stared at Keizo Harada, who seemed to be a little fanatical, with wide eyes, and shouted, "You madman, what kind of nonsense is this?" Don't you even want the national dignity and are willing to be the slaves of the Tang people? ”
Keizo Harada sneered, "Slave? It's really ridiculous, the commoners in Japan, they can't lift their heads when they see the samurai, and they are oppressed and exploited by the samurai ministers, and there are daimyos, shogunates and imperial courts above the samurai, they can't eat enough and don't wear warm, and their waists can't be straight, who is the real slave? In Datang, everyone's personality is equal and has the right to struggle and enjoy, but what is there in Japan is only a pool of stagnant water and mud. ”
Speaking of which, Keizo Harada has no interest in continuing to talk to Lin Ziping, he knows that Lin Ziping can't be the master at all, and the two daimyos of the Sachang Alliance who can really decide things.
Time is not on the side of the Sachang Alliance. Because the Tang army relied on the trick of false ways to destroy Yu. Within a few days, he took full control of the Kanto region of the shogunate. And tens of thousands of shogunate troops were defeated and disarmed, and the shogun himself and some important daimyo were also controlled by the Tang army, and at the beginning the Tang army was only a brigade of 5,000 troops of the Yamato Corps, but then the Tang army not only increased its troops on the periphery of Kyoto, but also pulled the naval fleet to the Seto Inland Sea, and blockaded it on the periphery of Osaka.
Although the actual strength of the Don army was not much. However, the combat power is strong, and as soon as the Fallen Curtain Army comes into contact with the Tang Army, it is often encountered by devastating offensives and counterattacks, so even if it is a Tang Army unit of 1,000 people, the Fallen Curtain Army feels like it is as many as 10,000 people.
In fact, the strength of the army was not bad, especially the units of the new army, which were equipped with thousands of new muskets and had hundreds of artillery pieces, were also organized and trained according to a relatively new organizational model, but their flexibility on the battlefield was still worse than that of the Tang army, which had rich experience. In addition, the firepower is relatively different, so although the down-curtain army has the heart to fight. But there isn't much that can be done either. The Tang army first used artillery to bombard the inverted army, and the artillery performance and number of the inverted army were poorer. It was even less experienced than the Tang Army in arranging artillery positions, and it would soon be stunned, and then the Tang Army would divide into several forces to attack the positions of the Fallen Curtain Army and divide and surround the Fallen Curtain Army. It's just such a simple tactic, tried and tested, and how the inverted army fights is how to lose.
The Fallen Shogun Army also tried to use tactics such as cavalry charge, but both the Yamato Corps and the German Corps were now equipped with a certain number of machine guns, and the cavalry of the Fallen Shogun Army was not large.
The successive defeats on the battlefield also made the Sachang Alliance soberly realize that they could not defeat the Tang Army, and the Tang Army asked them to surrender, in fact, from some angles, it can be regarded as a delaying tactic, because from various traces, it can be perceived that the Tang Army is deploying troops, and if the downfall faction of the Sachang Alliance refuses the Tang Army's persuasion to surrender, then the Tang Army will launch a final offensive against Sachang. According to intelligence, even in the waters of Kyushu Island, on the territory of the Satsuma Domain, the fleet of the Tang Army appeared on the periphery, and it seemed that it was ready to launch an attack on the hometown of the Satsuma Domain at any time, which also made the Satsuma Alliance even more panicked.
Despite some struggles, to no avail. In the end, the Sachang Alliance realistically chose to surrender to the Tang Army, and the Fallen Shogunate troops stationed in Kyoto and Osaka laid down their arms and went out of the city in groups to surrender to the Tang Army. Naturally, there are relatively individual samurai who disemboweled their abdomen because they couldn't bear the humiliation of surrender, and the Tang people didn't have any feelings about this, so they would dissect it.
As for Emperor Guangge, he was actually a little relieved, although the Tang people did not explain how to deal with him, but the conditions were also clearly written, and there would be no harm to Emperor Guangge's personal safety, and there would be no humiliation of the dignity of the Japanese imperial family. The failure of the Curtain Movement made Emperor Guangge not think about it, and it was already earned to be able to save his life.
The Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain also wanted to fight for their own rights and interests, such as keeping the territories of the feudal domains, and were even willing to save them by reducing the stone high or stepping down the feudal lord, but the Tang Dynasty was not a shogunate, and would not maintain the original shogunate system and allow the strong feudal domain to exist on the land of Japan.
The Tang army directly threw out a 72-hour ultimatum, demanding that the fallen army of the Sachang Alliance surrender unconditionally to the Tang army, and if the Tang army did not receive a positive answer after 72 hours, it would be a devastating blow to the fallen army of the Sachang Alliance, and the outcome of the Satsuma Domain, the Choshu Domain, and the emperor and others, the Tang side did not make any guarantees.
The Satsuma Clan and the Choshu Clan knew that if they chose to surrender with dignity, then at least some of the interests of the two families could be preserved, and Harada Keizo also said that in the future of the Japanese pattern dominated by the Tang Dynasty, the Shimazu clan and the Mori clan would have a place, and some of the assets of their domains could also be retained after being certified and examined by the relevant aspects of the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor's personal safety was guaranteed, and some property rights could also be granted, but the emperor would not be allowed to participate in politics, and the Tang people would later transfer the emperor and his imperial family to Hawaii, South America, and other places in batches to prevent them from being used to influence the Tang Dynasty's control of Japan.
Finally, on June 29, 1790, the Shogunate of the Sacho League surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty, in the name of Emperor Mitsukaku and the shogun Tokugawa Ieki, issued a notice to the daimyos of all Japan, asking them to give up resistance and go to Edo to participate in the Japanese regime reform conference convened by the Tang Dynasty.
Almost most of the daimyo wisely chose to compromise, and the few daimyo who did not accept were also wiped out by the Tang army in a short time. By the end of July, the Tang Dynasty had basically wiped out all the disobedient daimyo and their armies. On August 1, Emperor Kokaku abdicated in Kyoto, and the shogunate officially transferred power to the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
