Chapter 176: Tsuneishi Township Incident (1)

The prince of the Japanese chieftain Jia Guang wanted to negotiate, but the public summoned the rebellion and surrendered unconditionally.

Jiaguang refused and sent another envoy, saying that the shogunate could pay tribute to the Emperor and Ming, and marry the Ming Dynasty and pay a million yuan in silver, thinking that the two countries would be friendly for thousands of years.

Just to order the besieged Japanese troops to lay down their weapons and make them live.

Jiaguang suspected that he was cheated and gave it to him by hand, saying that he could form a brotherly alliance.

Jiaguang then squandered his suspicion and brought everyone back.

At the time of Si, the team leader Sanada Mushiro is a son of the Shogunate Banner, so he should not be kept.

The Duke thought for a long time and came out of the Heyin, saying, "You can do it yourself."

At the end of the day, the incident occurred and more than 5,800 Japanese soldiers were killed.

History is known as Changshiyuan Town. - Excerpted from "The Secret File of Japan"

...........

In January of the 47th year of Wanli, Kyoto was so cold that it was so cold that all rivers were frozen.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's surrender made Eunuch Wei feel relieved, because if this guy resisted stubbornly, it would still be difficult for the Imperial Army to do so.

The longer the time goes on, the uncertainty will be.

After all, how could Tokugawa Hidetachi watch his son be captured by the Imperial Army?

Regarding Jiaguang's statement of marriage with his sister, the father-in-law sneered: What have you been doing long ago?

The eleven or twelve-year-old girl cannot arouse any desire for conquest from her father-in-law.

The Imperial Army is the army of justice, and the father-in-law is also the spokesperson for the image of the empire, so naturally it is impossible to do anything to betray.

Therefore, he ordered people to live in the place of Tokugawa Iemitsu and his generals, and later, they went to see the surrendered Japanese army in person.

During the inspection, the staff analyzed the biggest weakness of the Japanese army, that is, they could not bear too many casualties.

Usually only 10% or 20% of the casualties will be lost, and the Japanese army will be dispersed.

In Li Yanzhao's words, the Japanese soldiers could not last long and were afraid of death and were not worthy of carrying shoes to the imperial army.

My father-in-law laughed at this. In fact, the current Japanese army is really bad. It may be because of the Warring States Period that dozens of people usually declare the end of the battle if they die.

During the entire Warring States Period and to the current Tokugawa Shogunate period, the battles between the Japanese army were typical "village groups". Often the casualties of hundreds of people determined the direction of a battle.

The Sekigahara war that laid the foundation for Tokugawa Ieyasu to unify Japan was dispatched by the East and West armies, and the two armies suffered only about 20% of the casualties.

This battle has become the largest battle in Japanese history.

Take the foreign soldiers like Tokugawa Iemitsu for example. In the previous battle in the Sanshanki area, the imperial army cleaned the battlefield after cleaning up the battlefield, and the casualties accounted for only one-tenth or even less than that of the foreign soldiers. But in this way, the foreign soldiers collapsed, which was amazing.

In the Changshi Blocking Battle, more than 200 people in the Imperial Army withstood thousands of Japanese troops, and eventually forced them to surrender. This was also a strange story in the history of the war.

"An army lacking faith is not much stronger than a mob."

The hero's island was ordered to be buried in Changshiyuan by his father-in-law. The soldiers found a coffin from the surrounding villages. The father-in-law personally carried the coffin with tears in his eyes and buried the imperial army hero in the battle place during his lifetime.

According to the customs of the Japanese nation, my father-in-law gave the Kojima a hero title of "Hanzang of Ghost" and changed Changshiyuan to Kojima County to comfort the hero's spirit in the sky.

In terms of military affairs, Cao Wenyao, the commander of the Guard Division, has led two registrars to advance north and act as a defensive fact in an attacking manner.

After two major battles, the First Army was exhausted and lost a lot of personnel.

The first infantry rebel with the largest losses suffered more than 600 officers and soldiers, and the sixth rebel with the least suffered more than 100 deaths.

Since the landing of Tianjin City, the Imperial Army has sacrificed more than 3,000 soldiers, and the souls of these martyrs have remained in Japan forever.

My father-in-law has ordered the establishment of a great country in Nara to worship tablets of the soldiers who fell into battle in Japan, so that they can have a ten thousand years of incense.

The gunpowder equipment of the Engineer Regiment also consumed a lot. Overall, although the officers and soldiers of the First Army were still very motivated, they were at the end of their military supplies, which had an adverse impact on the upcoming attack on the Kyoto General Attack.

Fortunately, the Youxi Detachment and Xuewen Detachment on both sides were progressing smoothly and reported successes one after another, which greatly dispersed the pressure faced by the First Army.

Information shows that in order to avoid the road back to Kanto being captured by the Imperial Army, Tokugawa Hidetachi had to separate a considerable number of elite troops to block the Xuewen Detachment.

Chief of Staff Jiang Xifeng analyzed that Tokugawa Iemitsu's surrender would be the heaviest blow to the shogunate and would likely force the shogunate to split.

Of course, my father-in-law hopes to capture Kyoto quickly and safely, but he will not interfere in the specific deployment.

Previously, the joint fleet had moved towards Edo. Chief of Staff Shen Yurong organized a land force to harass the Edo coastal areas, making the nobles of Edo Castle like frightened birds.

The shogunate officials who were afraid that the Ming army would capture Edo reported almost three times a day, asking the general to return to the army.

This also intensified the doubts of some vassal leaders who followed Tokugawa Hidetachi to Kyoto.

From the perspective of interests, Edo is the source of their power.

Kyoto can really give up.

Affected by the victory of the Imperial Army's attack on Kyoto and Nara, the anti-shog troops in various places are now full of vitality like weeds after the rain. Under the organization of the Fuxing Society, the anti-shog troops attacked the shogunate's baggage team everywhere, and some even captured cities and killed the shogunate's appointed officials.

The "rebellion" of the two powerful vassals in Satsuma and the former fat state made the shogunate worse.

Now, not only is the argument of "defeatism" circulating in the territory of the Anfan, but even the Edo side is already pessimistic and desperate.

Of course, the help of Japanese Confucian scholars is indispensable.

These Confucian scholars everywhere promote that Japan originated from China and that the Japanese nation is a branch of the Han people. Japan should be integrated into China and become completely integrated.

Although the Japanese Confucian community does not occupy a dominant position and has a limited audience, it has also caused a considerable number of Japanese to begin to examine the major events facing the country today.

Things are moving in a good direction. If the Kyoto decisive battle against the Imperial Army can achieve a decisive victory and realize the plan to destroy Hidetachi in three months, the situation will be great, not small.

.............

After having a simple lunch with the officers and soldiers, my father-in-law couldn't hold on anymore, so he prepared to rest in a temporary tent.

However, Captain Sanada United came to disturb his father-in-law at this time. He raised a serious fact to his father-in-law, that is, it is necessary to make a great purge on Tokugawa Iekima, otherwise, once these foreign soldiers were released, they would still be oppressors who rode on the heads of the Japanese people as powerful and prosperous.

Moreover, these foreign soldiers were the children of the escorts of the Shogunate Banner, and their loyalty to the Tokugawa family could not be changed because everything came from the Tokugawa family.

Therefore, if they are not effectively cleaned, they will still be the biggest enemy of the Imperial Army.
