The shogunate did not capture Edo, mainly because the shogunate still had talents, such as Aizu feudal lord Masayuki Hoke and Tadachi Sakai, Nobutsuna Nakamatsu, Tadaki Abe, and other ministers were always loyal and would not surrender to those outsiders. Daimyo.

Once surrendered, it is involuntary, it would be better to fight together, besides, they still have a strong reliance and support.

They claimed to have the aid of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Southeast King and the former general Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was in control of the Ming Dynasty, were brothers. The ministers threatened Zhuwa and said: "Once the Southeast King arrives, all the thieves will be killed and the Nine Clans! "

It really scared many people. Everyone thought, if you don't surrender, you will die, but if you surrender, you will die. It is better not to surrender, at least to fight for a good reputation.

So after the initial losing streak, I finally got a firm foothold. Although the fallen shogunate had won successive battles and had great morale, they could not attack the Edo Castle that the shogunate had been defending, and ultimately failed to achieve a final victory. Instead, Edo Castle looked forward to it. Here comes the long-awaited news of reinforcements!

Kenroku Abe, Yoshiro Ishihara, and Kiyoshi Abe went ashore and were immediately taken to the General's Mansion. They came on behalf of Daming, and the news spread like a storm throughout Edo Castle!

In the main hall, the young and handsome General Tokugawa Ietsuna was accompanied by ministers and met with the envoy of the Ming Dynasty at the "Honmaru" palace.

The three lieutenants paid tribute to the Tokugawa Ietsuna's army. Kenroku Abe's father Tadaki Abe could not help but feel relieved when he looked at his son with a big cap on his head, wearing a southeast army uniform and a saber.

Kenroku Abe and Yoshihiro Ishihara have been recruited by the Southeast Army and become soldiers in the Southeast Army, but as the envoys of Ming Dynasty, they are really messy, but there is no problem at all, so they saved the etiquette of Japanese people to pay respects to the general. .

They stood in full view, but they were calm and composed.

Facing the scrutiny of the top level of the Japanese country, the pressure was so great that ordinary Japanese people would have been unable to catch so many sharp gazes and knelt down, but they just marched and bowed in salute.

Will not kneel, because the national emblem on their heads represents the two Chinas!

They will explain their future intentions, and at the same time provide a formal diplomatic note and a private letter from Yan Changwu.

Both things were very polite. The note stated that Ming sent troops to Japan to vindicate justice, punish non-confidantes, strengthen the righteousness and exorcise evil spirits, and put it in a high-sounding and upright manner.

In private messages, he called "Hyun Nephew of Family Tsunami" affectionately, indicating that this is the uncle's supportive nephew. The family is unfortunate. Yan Changwu remembers his friendship with the former two-generation generals of the Tokugawa family. As an old friend of Japan, Xingyi When soldiers arrive in Japan, they will destroy the unrighteous ministers and help the nephew Jia Tsuna to secure the position of the shogunate, so as to protect Japan's domestic security and territorial integrity!

The monarchs and ministers of the shogunate all smiled, and now it’s good, after all, they will be able to see the moon and the moon. The southeast king of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Changwu, is a generation of heroes, saying one is one, saying two is two, and he will do what he says.

But when asked about the arrival of the Da Ming reinforcements, when they heard that the reinforcements were still at sea, perhaps halfway through, the faces of the senior officials dimmed.

The Aizu feudal lord, Hoke Masahiro, said in a deep voice, "No!"

The arrival of reinforcements is good news, why is it bad?

The young general Tokugawa Iaizuna looked at Masayuki Hoko in a puzzled way, wanting to hear an explanation.

Masayuki Hoke, the third son of Hidetada Tokugawa, the second-generation general of the Edo shogunate, was the half-brother of the third-generation general Tokugawa Iamitsu. He was highly valued by Tokugawa Iamitsu, and when I was no longer there, Masayu Hoko became the minister of the Tokugawa, and he was strong. The Tokugawa shogunate did not fall, and he was unparalleled in the loyalty of the Japanese. The Tokugawa family's outline was not supported by him, and it was almost impossible to protect it.

Bao Ke Zhengzhi slowly said, "Everyone in Edo City knows that reinforcements are coming, and the bandits will soon know."

The ministers nodded unanimously. This is something that cannot be kept secret. Edo soldiers and civilians must be informed about the arrival of reinforcements to encourage morale. The problem is that there are many different people in Edo Castle, and there are many fencers. The news must be passed to the Kyoto thief. Where the army.

Once the thief army knows, what will happen?

Masayuki Tokugawa taught Tokugawa Kazusuna: "...For the troops who broke through, the most dangerous and difficult time was not the process of breaking through the encirclement, but the time when they broke through the enemy's defense line and their way of life was right in front of them. Because of this. At that time, the whole army only wanted to escape, and it had completely lost its fighting spirit."

Tokugawa Kazusuna is not too stupid, he immediately understood, and inferred from the other things: "When the defenders of our city know the news of the arrival of reinforcements, they think that they can eliminate the enemy with reinforcements, so they will lose the courage to fight to death. On the contrary, the thieves are gone. To retreat, we must break through the cauldron and come here, and the momentum of this depletion is 10%, and our army is in danger!"

Bao Ke Zhengzhi praised authentically: "Great General Mingjian!"

This is the legendary "seeing the light to die", the hearts of the people are scattered, the team is not easy to take!

The Japanese monarchs pondered how to deal with the current situation. An Qingzhi, the real staff member of the Southeast Army who hadn't made much noise before, said: "Enlighten the general, before leaving, the Southeast King has given an explanation!"

Everyone refreshed, and Bao Kezheng said politely: "Please speak!"

"Heavy firepower, burning the city and hunting!" An Qingzhi said calmly.

Listen to him explain: "When fighting the enemy, you don't have to fight hard, you don't need to fill it with human lives, but you can shoot out all the firepower. When half of the ammunition is used up, you will retreat in an orderly manner and block!"

"It's really unstoppable, don't have to stop it, and evacuate the army and civilians~lightnovelpub.net~ burned Edo Castle to prevent it from falling into the enemy's hands. The general can patrol and hunt out. When my Ming reinforcements arrive, the thieves will be relieved. Come on!"

"It will be even more beautiful and magnificent to be defeated by the enemy and rebuild Edo!"

This is a good idea. I heard that there is no need to fight to the death, all the Japanese people are smiling!

Tokugawa Kazuna looked at Masayuki Hoko with a questioning gaze, and when he nodded, he decided to say, "The idea of ​​Staff An is clever, and our army can use it!"

Therefore, the envoy of Ming Dynasty was invited to rest at the "Sakurakan" of the State Guest House. As the general of the shogunate army, Masaichi Hoko began fighting and retreating military and civilian matters.

...

Besides, the scenery in the Sakura Pavilion where the Daming Envoy stayed is elegant, and the traditional Japanese culture is full of flavor. It is actually Tang style. The cherry blossoms are planted in the pavilion. When the blooming season comes, the guests in the State Guest House can enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms without leaving their homes. Sakura is the national flower of the country. It can be said that only the most distinguished guests can stay in the Sakurakan. If the second generation of Japanese officials like Kenroku Abe is not an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, they are not qualified to live here, they must occupy a big house. .

The Japanese people treated them with enthusiasm. There were two small lords and several ministers to accompany guests, as well as the princes under the seat of the Japanese imperial palace. Moaning without illness, they are characterized by their unique Chinese culture, they are extremely proficient, and they speak even the Nanjing dialect of the Ming Dynasty. They belong to the level of Chinese culture that can be passed by Qian Mingju people.

On the contrary, if they have to test their Japanese proficiency, they will be dumbfounded and unable to speak Japanese!

Kenroku Abe and Yoshiro Ishihara are also good players in Chinese culture, and they are like fish in water.

An Qingzhi couldn't help laughing secretly when seeing these Japanese people's full-speaking Chinese being pretentious!

Even if you don't conquer Wadao Island, how different is it from conquering now!
