The Battle of Osaka has now entered a situation of 'you fight yours, I fight mine'. In Osaka Bay, the shelling of the Ryukyu Navy has completely destroyed all the shipwrecks, and the sea is littered with broken planks and the corpses of sailors, and the survivors are desperately swimming to the shore.

But on land, the Tokugawa family's new army, under the leadership of Matsudaira Yoho, frantically launched an attack on the southwestern coalition army, and one after another shogun flags fell, and one coalition army after another was annihilated.

Matsudaira Rongho didn't dare to look back at the battle in the bay, let alone the chaotic Osaka Castle, he only hoped that the general would understand his painstaking efforts.

"Accelerate...... The whole army accelerates...... Only the more thoroughly we win, the more we can get at the negotiating table in the end......"

After getting through the chaos at the beginning, Tokugawa Yoshiki finally understood Matsudaira Yoshiho's good intentions, and he knew that when Xiao Lotian's army appeared, the Tokugawa family would not be able to win the battle. What you can't get on the battlefield, you have to get it from the negotiating table, anyway, under the interference of the Western powers, he Xiao Lotian can't annex Japan, and all he wants is interests.

Tokugawa Yoshiki, who understood this, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and he calmly said to his subordinate ninjas, "Pass on my orders, the command of the new army is completely entrusted to Matsudaira Rongho, I trust his judgment ......"

"Osaka Castle stops resisting and lets Xiao Lotian's army come in......"

"General!" the surrounding samurai fell to their knees, and Okawachi wept bitterly, "No...... General, we have seen the dawn of hope, why? Why is there such a divine punishment in the sky!"

"We want to fight, we have to rely on Osaka Castle to defend against attacks from the sea, we can hold it! General, the defense system south of Osaka Castle is still very intact, and it is getting dark, we can hold ......

Countless weeping samurai were kneeling and begging the general, but in exchange for Tokugawa Keiki, shaking his head and sighing, "Look at what is on the sea? That's not a ship at all, but countless cannons! Our twelve field guns can crush the allied forces, and what about Xiao Letian? The number of guns on his flagship is no less than forty!"

"What kind of firepower is this! How can we resist the flesh and blood? The rest will be left to the civilian officials......" The general closed his eyes in pain, "Go! Pile up firewood and pour vegetable oil on the castle tower, I would rather die than be a prisoner of Xiao Letian!"

"No...... Woo woo woo ...... "There was a cry of bitterness in the castle tower, but the shogun's mind was broken, "Go, carry out the order, and whoever disobeys, the whole clan will expel the shogunate!"

Such punishments were taken out, and everyone did not dare to disobey, and soon a white flag was raised in Osaka City, and Xiao Letian's army was jubilant "entering the city...... Let's go into town!"

The battleships began to adjust their attitude, the docks in Osaka Castle stopped resisting, and all the soldiers disarmed and waited for the new troops to land. The big scalp boots slammed into the trestle, and the Japanese soldier's eyelids jumped with a thudding thump.

Watching the new troops, armed to the teeth, swarming from the pedals, a feeling of invincibility welled up in the hearts of all Japanese at that moment.

Shiny leather boots and patent-leather hats, yellow-brown belts with grenades and bullets, long Mauser rifles with bayonets glittering, blue uniforms rushing into Osaka Castle like a tidal wave.

From ancient times to the present, uniformly dressed soldiers can give people a strong sense of visual conflict, not to mention Xiao Letian, the traverser, the current military uniform of the new army draws on the characteristics of many later German military uniforms and American military uniforms, focusing on the waist, lapels, ironing, and straight...... When ordinary people wear such a set of military uniforms, their temperament will change significantly.

There is no soft feeling of the people, what the soldiers want is sharp edges and corners.

This is only the equipment of ordinary soldiers, the most beautiful is the officer's uniform, the cuffs, lapels and epaulettes are embroidered with golden silk thread, and the senior officers even use precious gold wire, and even the large-brimmed hat has a golden cockade.

There is also a group of veterans in the crowd, those are the first brothers to mix with Xiao Letian, almost everyone has a few small gold and silver military medals on their chests, such veterans in the crowd are the guarantee of morale, a veteran teaches by word and deed, and the ten recruits around him will be affected by him.

Xiao Letian's new army, oh has now been renamed the Marine Corps, this army has instilled too much experience in the special forces of later generations, although it cannot be compared with the strong armies of later generations, but in the 19th century, such an army was already a strong weapon that Europeans should look at.

The shogunate soldiers themselves didn't know what was going on, and in the face of such a crowd, they were slowly retreating, until finally they even heard a familiar accent.

"Onboard! I'm back again...... Osaka Castle, today I am the conqueror!"

"I'm Hyotaro! I'm a pariah in the mouths of the daimyo, but today I also have my last name, I'm Xiao, my name is Hyotaro Xiao...... Onboard!"

It was the Ryukyus sword drawers who rushed up, these belonged to the Foreign Legion directly led by Xiao Letian, and they were the only samurai team in the Marine Corps who could carry a sword to fight except for officers.

They were all Japanese wild samurai, pirates, and untouchables, and they were treated with endless white eyes in the first half of their lives, but today they were able to lead troops to surround Tokugawa Keiki, and the two hundred years shogunate actually trembled in front of them.

"Hahaha...... But don't you call me a pariah? But do you hear me, a pariah, who has a territory of fifty stones in the Qing Kingdom? Who the fuck dares to call me a pariah!"

The arrogant roar shook the entire Osaka Castle, and all the soldiers of the shogunate were dumbfounded, and it was not until finally that the arrogant shouts stopped when Xiao Lotian's military boots stepped onto the stone road of Osaka Castle.

With tears in their eyes, the swordsmen saluted the prime minister, and then gathered around him and walked proudly towards the castle tower, where all the Tokugawa samurai and ashigaru knelt down on both sides of the road, as a sign of respect for the strong.

"Sure enough, it is a people who are afraid of power but not virtuous, if you want them to respect, you have to trample their land with military boots, dazzle their eyes with bayonets, and shock their hearts with killing, otherwise they will not respect you!"

"Report ...... Tokugawa Yoshiki and all the high-ranking officials are hiding on the highest castle tower, and all the passages are full of firewood, and they want to set themselves on fire......"

"Oh, don't you want to be a prisoner? Let's go and see......" Xiao Lotian walked towards the castle tower surrounded by a group of soldiers, and along the way the Marines had taken control of all the key points of Osaka Castle, the historic city of Japan.

Walking to His Excellency the castle tower, Xiao Lotian looked up at the pale Tokugawa Keiki and smiled slightly, "First time we met, my name is Xiao Letian, this is the shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate......, right?"

Tokugawa bowed and saluted, "I have seen the Prime Minister, you have exalted the majesty of Asia in Europe, and I admire you very much...... It's a shame that we met on the battlefield, and if it's usual, I really want to have a good time with you, the taste of spiny lobster is a must!"

"I didn't expect the general's Chinese to speak so well, admire and admire! It's very simple to drink, and watching the beacon fire outside the city and drinking is also a great joy in life!"

Tokugawa Keiki shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not Liu Chan, and I won't say anything that I don't want to say, I will never be a prisoner in my life!"

"No, no, no......" Xiao Lotian shook his head, "No one wants you to be a prisoner, and I, Ryukyu, have not started a war with you, my army is here for peace! That's right, it's peace......"

Tokugawa Yoshiki's nose was crooked, "What did you say? Peace!" Pointing to the burning Osaka Bay with a trembling hand, "This is your peace? This is the peace you are talking about!"

"That's right!" Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, "This is peace, you two are killing in the dark, if I want to stop this war, then I have to attack the victor's side, I see that you are pressing the Southwest Coalition to fight, so I will stop you...... If I show up and the Southwest Coalition has the upper hand, I will also stop them, and this is what I call peace......"

The important ministers of the Tokugawa family are already mad, what kind of bastard logic is this, deceiving a three-year-old child? The general smashed his fist on the railing, "Prime Minister Xiao, if you understand people, don't say childish things, I can tell you clearly, if you dare to attack me, you will dare to set yourself on fire, and then the whole of Japan will hate me, and all the powers will come to interfere, and you don't want to get a little benefit in Japan!"

"Raise the fire!" At the sound of an order, more than a dozen samurai raised their burning torches and waited for the general to give the order.

"Okay, okay, you won! How about I promise not to go to the city?" Xiao Letian sneered and said, "I know your calculations, no matter how domineering I am Xiao Letian, it is impossible to annex Japan, so you know that I will not kill you...... You dragged my army in Osaka Castle, and then Matsudaira Rongho led the 10,000 new troops to completely defeat the coalition army, so that my allies in Japan would disappear, and finally give me a sum of money to buy the road, and I, Xiao Lotian, will get out......"

"It's so calculating! It's wonderful, you Japanese are really a lot of tactical geniuses, and the level of improvisation is really high...... To tell you the truth, I brought 3,000 marines this time, and although the combat effectiveness is super high, the number is too small, and I can't pursue your new army if I hold Osaka Castle......"

"If you abandon Osaka Castle, you will flee immediately, and the more than 10,000 troops outside are not what my 3,000 people can kill, so you have no fear, right?"

Tokugawa Keiki's face improved a little, "That's right, it's good that you know!" Prime Minister Xiao, I admire you very much, but your troops are too small, even if all of them are gods, how many people can they defeat? Listen to my advice, stay here and wait for the war to end, our shogunate is still willing to negotiate with you diplomatically......" "Hahaha......" Xiao Lotian laughed loudly, "Do you think I can't help you because I have few people? Do you think I have to threaten the shogunate army by arresting you......?"

With Xiao Letian's roar, a bright firework burst into the sky, and a few minutes later, a black shadow pressed up in the southern sky.

"Ahh......h Gods or devils?" the shogunate army in the entire Osaka Castle exploded.
