Chapter 516: Judging the Emperor (1)

After Tokugawa Katsuyoshi assumed command of the Kyoto Japanese Army, the progress of the communication fortifications in Kyoto Castle was rapidly accelerated, and then a large number of Ming Coalition troops began to enter these areas, taking over control of the whole of Kyoto.

And Tokugawa Katsuyoshi and his Japanese army, except for a small number of people such as Tokugawa Katsuyoshi, who had already taken the lead of the Ming Alliance, the remaining tens of thousands of people returned to their centralized prisoner of war camps again.

Xue Ke lived in the former Ashikaga Yoshinori's Zhengyi General's Mansion and waited for the latest orders from Nanjing.

And one step earlier than Zhu Yunwenjun's order was an edict from Shiren.

In this edict, Shihito first announced that he would cancel the emperor's throne and change his name to the king of Japan, and signed the Minglian agreement, officially announcing Japan's accession to the Minglian, and honoring Zhu Yunwen, the emperor of the Minglian.

Later, Zhu Yunwen, in his capacity as the emperor of the Minglian, announced that the executive orders signed and some of the edicts issued by Shiren, the king of the Minglian and its allies, during his reign, essentially violated the law of the Minglian Convention, and even if Shiren was the king of Japan, he only had legal immunity in Japan.

However, Shiren's behavior violated the law of the Convention, and it was the entire Minglian that was affected by Shiren's erroneous order.

In the Ming system, only the lineage of the Ming Emperor had complete legal immunity, ruling, correction and final judgment, and since Shiren did not have immunity, he had to accept the prosecution under the Convention Law.

He immediately escorted Shiren back to Kyoto from Nanjing, and was prosecuted and tried by Gao Su, the secretary of Dali Temple of the Ming Dynasty, the sole leader of the Ming Dynasty, in accordance with the law of the Ming Union Convention.

After these news reached Kyoto, the Japanese people in Kyoto of course exploded, who wants to see the emperor of their lifelong faith being judged by the enemy country at their own doorstep?

Inevitably, the commotion began.

In response to these commotions, Xue Ke and the garrisons in the city did not choose to act in person, but found Tokugawa Katsuyoshi, the commander of the Kyoto Japanese Army.

"Maintaining the stability of Kyoto is within your responsibility, now, Japan belongs to the Ming Federation and allies, you and Ben Shuai are also colleagues, how to deal with these unstable factors, I am a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, it is not good to meddle in the internal affairs of the alliance, all the decisions lie with you."

Xue Ke patted Tokugawa Katsuyoshi on the shoulder, which made the latter a little flattered.

"Right now, His Majesty the Emperor is also your monarch, as long as you can stabilize Kyoto and let the public trial go smoothly, then your merits will enter the eyes of the monarch, cherish this opportunity."

Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's body trembled with excitement, and he responded loudly: "Hi Yi, please rest assured, when Gao Sujun comes to Kyoto, he will definitely see an orderly, stable and chaotic Kyoto City!" ”

"Well, you do things, Ben Shuai is very relieved."

After encouraging Tokugawa Katsuyoshi again, Xue Ke watched Tokugawa Katsuyoshi leave, and asked the staff officer beside him, "Guess what he will do?" ”

"This son looks at the wolf and is violent." Faced with Xue Ke's question, the staff officer sneered and commented: "In the next few days, Kyoto City is afraid that it will be a river of blood. ”

"We don't have to do it ourselves, anyway."

Xue Ke stretched his waist cracklingly, and then said with a smile: "Have a good rest for two days, and wait for the next order from Nanjing." ”

Daming's side is peaceful, and he should rest and go shopping, but Tokugawa Hideyoshi, who received the order on the other side, is not so leisurely and relaxed.

When he returned to his mansion, Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's eyes oozed a terrifying hideousness.

"All the sinners who make trouble and try to disrupt the smooth progress of the public trial and affect the stability of Kyoto will be killed on the spot!"

Dozens of Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's generals and cronies should drink together.

"Hey!"

A massacre was inevitable.

It's just ridiculous that it was not the Ming Lian who was the aggressor, but Tokugawa Katsuyoshi and the Japanese soldiers who participated in the Battle of Kyoto.

When this group of Japanese soldiers chose to surrender instead of choosing to live and die with Kyoto and die for their country, it was destined that this group of soldiers could be rebelled.

And Tokugawa Katsuyoshi was the biggest contributor to the rebellion.

The Japanese army, consisting of thirty or fifty people, scattered to every street in Kyoto Castle and began to search the door by door.

It is said that it is to examine the residents' views on the upcoming public trial, but in fact it is also a kind of indulgence in military discipline.

Plunder, adultery, killing.

And those who shouted the most fiercely, the diehards who resisted the Minglian and the public trial the most, were even more cruelly burned alive.

The first offender was put to death, his wealth was plundered, his wife was raped, and his son was tortured.

Tokugawa Katsuyoshi and his Sunfall Army did almost all the bestiality that even wild beasts might not be able to do.

The entire city of Kyoto was ravaged by such madness and tyranny, and for several days there was endless suffering, and the sound of wails resounded in the sky.

On the sixth day of the incident, groups of Kyoto residents ran to the vicinity of the Meiren fortifications to seek refuge, begging the Meiren army to protect them.

"Ben Shuai is really grateful to Tokugawa Katsuyoshi, he is a good friend of our Minglian."

For this kind of development, Xue Ke naturally laughed happily, only the staff officer couldn't bear it.

"Xue Shuai, let Tokugawa Katsuyoshi stop, in just a few days, he killed nearly 30,000 people in Kyoto, this brute, even a three- or two-year-old child, cut with a knife, scalded with a soldering iron, split the body and skinned, damn it, I can't wait to kill him now!"

"He's running out of use."

The earliest lecture martial arts hall has now been renamed the Nanjing Military Academy of the Ming Alliance, and his staff officer, who was born in a military academy, is different from the academy, Xue Ke has fought for more than ten years, and he has long been accustomed to the cruelty of war, even if these atrocities make the staff officers want to tear their eyes, Xue Ke doesn't care much.

However, Xue Ke still assured his staff officer: "After the trial of Shihito, Tokugawa Katsuyoshi and his Japanese army can go to Huangquan to repent, no, to be precise, it should be that all the surrendered troops who participated in the Battle of Kyoto will not live anymore." ”

The news was very sudden, and the staff officer was taken aback, and just wanted to ask, and then suddenly realized.

"Is this my father's order?"

"Yes."

Xue Ke bowed his head and took out a letter from his arms: "Father's hand." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Zhu Yunwen's handwritten letter, the staff officer subconsciously straightened his spine, put his hand on his clothes and wiped it several times before solemnly taking it with both hands.

After reading the letter, the staff officer shouted loudly regardless of whether Zhu Yunwen, who was far away in Nanjing, could hear it.

"The last general obeys the order, long live my emperor."
