There was not much suspense in the battle between the Ming Navy Division and Edo from the beginning, although Yang He, the commander in command of the battle and the Governor of the Governor's Mansion, thought that the Japanese samurai were in bad brains, but he may not have realized that the reason why the Ming Navy Division and the Ming army were able to be strong and strong was all thanks to the strict military discipline and military regulations cast the military spirit, as well as good logistics support.

During the shogunate period, Japan was closed to the outside world, which was very similar to the last years of the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later.

The Fran planes stopped bombing, and the Japanese samurai guarding Edo actually took the initiative to attack, and cavalry appeared.

Yang He saw the Japanese cavalry in the high-powered telescope, and he was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't know what kind of horse the Japanese samurai were riding, short and pitiful, the Japanese samurai's stature was not high, and it was a good match to lose such a short horse, but such a soldier, when facing the sailor cavalry, it completely became a fight between adults and children.

Of course, Yang He would not be polite, he immediately ordered the troops to be dispatched.

The fiery red torrent began to strike, and the crisp sound of gunfire and the whining of bows and crossbows could be heard in the sky.

The one-sided slaughter was repeated, and the Japanese samurai cavalry barely had a chance to get close to the cavalry of the naval division, and many samurai and war horses were overturned by bullets and shot by crossbows.

Some of the Japanese soldiers, barely able to fight the cavalry of the sailors, were helpless against spears and spears, and their horses were too short to reach their opponents.

The cavalry attack was thwarted, and the shouts of one after another were louder, and as the drums became louder, countless Japanese samurai began to charge towards the battlefield with their swords held high in both hands.

Yang He immediately gave the order for a general attack.

Except for the 5,000 reserves led by Zheng Zhilong, they will not participate in the attack for the time being. The remaining more than 10,000 sailors and soldiers all charged.

The gunfire became unusually dense, and a larger slaughter began.

Yang He held a high-powered telescope in his hand, shaking his head and sighing all the time, he felt that this kind of battle was too boring, there was no need for fierce fighting, and there was no need for any technical level. As long as the Mauser guns in the hands of the soldiers fired accurate bullets, the battle was basically over.

The momentum of the Japanese samurai charge is indeed very terrifying, it can be said that the people in front of them fall, and the people behind will not retreat, and they still charge forward, so that more people fall.

However, after the battle lasted for a while, Yang He's face gradually became serious, and he thought of another question. That is, these Japanese samurai who are not afraid of death, if they get advanced Mauser guns, excellent war horses, and even sharp Hongyi cannons and Furlong machines, what sharp combat effectiveness they will burst out.

At this time, Yang He finally understood the deep meaning of the emperor's words.

It is impossible to suppress any nation by means of killing, and only with strong strength and extraordinary mind can a nation be truly subjugated.

The battle lasted from midnight to noon.

Countless corpses on the battlefield. Most of them are the corpses of Japanese samurai.

Edo Castle is right in front of you, and the sailors can rush into it at any time. The Japanese samurai guarding Edo were basically annihilated, and it can be said that the Tokugawa family, the Japanese shogunate, had been completely wiped out.

Yang He once again ordered that when the sailors entered the Edo Castle, they were not allowed to burn, kill, and loot. Violators are dealt with by warlords.

The army finally entered Edo Castle.

The city was already in chaos, and the ordinary people had already closed the door, and they knew that this was a way to cover their ears and steal the bell, and if the sergeants forced the gate open, they would not be able to resist it.

The sailors did not harass the people. They went straight to the location of the shogunate, and the general Tokugawa Ieyasu was still in the shogunate, and this person would never be able to escape, as for the emperor of Japan, there was naturally Zheng Zhilong to deal with.

When they stormed the shogunate, many sergeants saw an incredible scene, and most of the people in the shogunate chose to commit suicide by breaking their stomachs, and as for the women, they chose to hang themselves.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's body was dragged out, and he had already committed suicide by breaking his stomach.

Yang He watched this scene and did not speak, during the Jiajing period, the Japanese Japanese pirates were able to wreak havoc on the southeast coast, and it seems that there is still a certain reason.

Zheng Zhilong, escorted by the sailors, went to the Emperor's Palace.

When the young Japanese emperor saw Zheng Zhilong, his face turned pale, his body trembled, and he couldn't speak at all.

Zheng Zhilong spoke in Japanese, which surprised the emperor unexpectedly, he didn't expect that the Ming sergeant could actually speak Japanese.

Negotiations began at this moment.

Zheng Zhilong simply explained that the reason why the Ming army conquered Japan was because Tokugawa Ieyasu refused to trade with the Ming Dynasty at sea, and also plundered the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, resulting in losses for the Ming court, so the emperor ordered the sailors to conquer Japan, and the purpose of the Ming army's expedition to Japan was to exterminate the Tokugawa family, end the Japanese shogunate, and return power to the emperor.

Zheng Zhilong obviously saw that the emperor's expression had softened, and a hint of a smile actually flashed on his face.

Next, Zheng Zhilong made a clear request, that is, the Tagawa family of Hirado, hoping to be favored by the emperor.

The emperor readily agreed to this request, but in fact, the emperor didn't know anything about the Tagawa family in Hirado, and according to Zheng Zhilong's request, the emperor could just canonize the Tagawa family as the lord of the domain.

This is Zheng Zhilong's selfishness, his son is still in the Tagawa family in Hirado, once the Tagawa family is canonized as a vassal state, the power will become stronger, plus he Zheng Zhilong can lean towards the Tagawa family in terms of commerce, I believe that it will not take long for the Tagawa family to rise, become the leading family in Japan, and even replace the Tokugawa family to rule the whole of Japan.

As for returning power to the emperor, this is just a joke, the emperor does not have an army, how to control the feudal states and families with many armies, and then Japan will be plunged into a chaotic civil war, many families will have to fight for the rule of the shogunate, and in the process, no matter which family, will need trade support.

As long as Zheng Zhilong helps the Tagawa family at this time, the Tagawa family will be able to develop at the fastest speed.

Zheng Zhilong thinks about his son's future, which is understandable, but he is still very worried, because the emperor will definitely know about such a thing, so he still has to report it directly to Yang He.

After the discussion with the Japanese emperor was over, Zheng Zhilong quickly rushed to the shogunate.

The shogunate has been cleaned up by the sailors, and the courtyard is full of large and small chests, which must be countless treasures, and the Tokugawa family has been ruling the shogunate for decades, and must have gathered a lot of wealth.

Yang He was meditating alone in the room.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong come in, Yang He was a little surprised, could it be that Zheng Zhilong's negotiations with the Japanese emperor ended so quickly.

"Marshal, the last general has already talked with the Japanese emperor, and the emperor has agreed to all the requests put forward by the last general, and in the future, the commercial and trade matters on the sea will be handled in full accordance with the rules of the Ming court."

"Well, this is also expected, in fact, I don't think the emperor's statement has much effect, but the Tokugawa family was exterminated by my Ming Sailor, which must cause a great shock in Japan, and I dare not have any family to go against my Ming court in the future."

"What the marshal said is that the last general has one more thing to report, and if the commander feels that there is something wrong with what the last general has done, the last general is willing to be punished."

Yang He looked at Zheng Zhilong and did not speak.

Zheng Zhilong began to report, including his wife Tagawa family, as well as the Tagawa family in Hido, Japan, who has left his son Tagawa seven left guards in the Tagawa family, and the relevant arrangements later, it is easier to say, Zheng Zhilong's meaning is nothing more than thinking about his son's life in Japan.

After listening to what Zheng Zhilong said, Yang He smiled.

"What's wrong with this, after returning to the capital, I will personally report this matter to the emperor, General Zheng's son is in Japan, if the Tagawa family can rule Japan, it will be very beneficial to my Ming court."

Zheng Zhilong looked at Yang He and opened his mouth wide, Yang He was not a cabinet minister of the imperial court, how could he say such words casually, at least he would not express his position.

Perhaps seeing Zheng Zhilong's surprised expression, Yang He smiled and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zheng Zhilong.

"When I set off from the capital, the emperor gave me this letter, and the emperor specifically said that General Zheng's second son, Tagawa Qizuo Guard, is still in Japan, if General Zheng wants to bring back the Ming Dynasty, then let Tian Chuan's seven left guards enter the capital to study, if you don't want to bring back the Ming Dynasty, then let General Zheng assist Tagawa Qizuo Guard, it is best to let the Tagawa family grow rapidly and become the real shogunate ruler of Japan as soon as possible."

Zheng Zhilong's body trembled slightly, and he took the letter with trembling hands.

opened the letter, although Zheng Zhilong didn't know many words, he still understood the words in the letter, that is, only more than 200 words, and the meaning was very clear.

After reading the letter, Zheng Zhilong turned around and knelt down in the direction of Da Ming, kowtowing respectfully.

"The emperor's love for the minister, the minister's death is difficult to repay, the minister must let the Tagawa family become the shogunate of Japan, so that Japan will always submit to my Ming court and the emperor."

When Yang He spoke again, his tone was a little serious.

"General Zheng has already made a decision, I won't say more, the Tagawa family in Hirado is not very strong, and there is almost no advantage in the upcoming battle in Japan, so the emperor said that he will provide the Tagawa family with five Hongyi cannons, ten furlong machines, and a thousand Mauser guns, as well as two large warships, and leave five hundred sailors to assist the Tagawa family, so that it can quickly become strong......"

Zheng Zhilong's body trembled, and he finished listening to these words. (To be continued.) )
