Chapter 728: Feudal Japan (2)

On the same day that the Han court moved, a group of unusual guests were welcomed in a deep mountain on the Shimabara Peninsula in Japan.

The leader is Feng Jingyi, the commander of the Han Jin Wuwei.

"Amakusa Shigeru, the time has come, and you need to prepare for an uprising as soon as possible."

Looking at the Japanese young man with a mustache in front of him, Feng Jingyi announced the decision of the Han Army to him with a serious face.

This young Japanese man is named Amakusa Tokishigeru, and he is the younger brother of Amakusa Tokisada who led the Shimabara Rebellion ten years ago.

After the defeat of the Shimabara Rebellion, he escaped under the cover of his brother.

Kim Go-wei discovered him while working in Japan, so he took him under his control, and continued to carry out clandestine activities in Kyushu, Japan.

Just outside the house where Feng Jingyi and the others were talking, there was a valley with nearly 10,000 horses.

No one knew that there was such a stronghold in the mountains of Shimabara.

Bursts of shouts and killings continued to come from the school yard in the stronghold, and occasionally a few people wearing the red uniforms of the Han army could be seen on the scene to guide.

A trace of struggle flashed on Amakusa Shimao's face, and he hurriedly kowtowed:

"Haiyi, the adults have a life, and the little ones don't dare to disobey, but after that, ......"

Feng Jingyi showed a smile on his face, "Don't worry, my Han is a well-known daughter, as long as you can make contributions, you will definitely have a place in the Japanese court in the future." ”

"You should have heard that my Han is not like Japan, only samurai can get ahead, whether it is for you or for the Japanese people, this is a great opportunity."

"But the emperor ......"

"Baga", Feng Jingyi slapped on the table, his face full of anger.

"Little Japan, how dare you encroach on the throne, how many times has this official told you, it is the king of Japan."

"You can't worry about the fate of the Chrysanthemum family, do your own thing."

Amakusa Shimao is sweaty and nods, "Hay".

Kagoshima, Kyushu.

The Shimazu family's territory has now become more prosperous than ever.

Kagoshima's castle town has almost tripled in size compared to a decade ago, and it is a thriving scene with a variety of vendors and pedestrians.

Relying on the secret support of the Great Han, the Shimazu family quickly turned around their financial difficulties and quickly became wealthy.

It is precisely for this reason that the Shimazu family, who were originally famous for their appearance, quickly moved closer to the Han.

Especially after Korea also reasserted its vassal to the Han Dynasty, the influence of the Han Dynasty on Japan was more convenient.

Now, even the Choshu Domain and other foreign daimyo have begun to attack the Great Han.

In the Kagoshima castle tower, Mitsuhisa Shimazu looked through the castle tower window with a solemn face at the castle town below.

Behind him, the old Shimazu family Shimazu Hisatsu and others were kneeling to report to him.

"Master of the family, please make up your mind, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has decided to include Japan under his command, and now is the time for my Shimazu family to make contributions."

"Master, please make up your mind."

The ministers of the Shimazu family shouted in unison.

Mitsuhisa Shimazu turned around, a hint of hesitation on his face.

"However, the big man is not Japanese after all, my Shimazu family ......"

Shimazu Jiutong hurriedly said: "My Shimazu family was originally a ferryman, and five hundred years ago it was also a family with the Great Han, and now it is just a return to the sect master." ”

"The head of the family, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is rich all over the world, and the Han army is even more unstoppable, in the face of this situation, why should we go to accompany the shogunate to die."

"Now we can set things right as soon as possible, so that we can maintain the status of my Shimazu family in the Japanese court in the future. The head of the family should also know the foreign policy of the Great Han, and what they promised will definitely be fulfilled. ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa finally made up his mind when he heard this.

"Okay, then according to the requirements of the Han envoy, reorganize the troops, pass on my orders, and fully cooperate with the Han army's actions."

"Hai"

Not long after Mitsuhisa Shimazu gave the order, there was a thud of trotting downstairs.

"The head of the family, Kitakyushu has broken out again, and Hizen Province has been completely captured."

"Huh?"

"It must have been launched by the Han army"

Shimazu Hisatsu looked at Shimazu Mitsuhisa with an excited face.

Everyone in the Shimazu family was stunned, it was only a few days of hard work, and Kitakyushu was able to capture Hizen Province in a flash, and the Han army was so fierce.

"Order, speed up the preparation for war, we must capture Hyuga, Higo and other countries before the shogunate army arrives, and my Shimazu family will rise and fall in this move."

"Hai"

Edo Castle.

"Your Excellency General, something is wrong, the whole territory of Kyushu has rebelled, and rebels have also appeared in Nagato, Tosa and other places."

"Bang Dang"

Tokugawa Iemitsu was so shocked that the tea vessel in his hand fell directly to the ground.

"Quickly send a large army to suppress it!"

The Tokugawa family's actions were not unpleasant, and as soon as they received the information, they immediately began to assemble peasant troops.

But the situation on the battlefield was beyond everyone's expectations.

The rebels are moving too fast.

In just two months, not only Kyushu, but also Shikoku and Chugoku all fell, and the rebels reached Settsu Hanoi!

All the Tokugawa clan daimyo west of Japan were exterminated.

The whole of Japan was shocked.

On September 17 of the fifth year of Mototake, Tokugawa Iemitsu personally led an army of 400,000 troops looted from all over the Kanto region to confront the rebels in Yamashiro Province and Yamato Province.

What the Tokugawa family did not expect was that the Kansai rebels were as high as 200,000.

What made the Tokugawa family even more panic was that looking at the other party's equipment, there were many iron cannons and national collapses.

In Osaka Castle, Nagamune Ibe Yoshimoto smiled on his face.

As the first Japanese to defect to the Han Dynasty, Nagasō Ibu Yoshijin successfully became the general of Western Japan by virtue of this identity and the Japanese army commanded by the officers of the Han Army under his command.

"Gentlemen, pass on my general's order, the whole army will attack, destroy the Tokugawa family, Japan will be my Han's."

"Hai"

On the battlefield of Japan, the rumbling sound of artillery fire sounded again.

Just north of Yamashiro Province, a Han army of 1,000 men landed from Wakasa Province and lurked near Kyoto.

The gang were all dressed as Tokugawa samurai, but the muskets in their hands revealed their identities.

On September 20, the war between Kansai and Kanto began on time.

"Battalion commander, most of the defenders in Kyoto have been transferred to the front line in Settsu, and Kyoto is about to be empty."

"Brothers, rush up and surround Kyoto."

The commander of the Han battalion did not hesitate to give the order.

The Tokugawa family's defensive focus was not on Kyoto at all, and there were only a few hundred ashigaru left in Kyoto City.

Under the attack of the Han army, this little man collapsed before he could hold out for even a quarter of an hour.

"Rush, attack the chrysanthemum house."

"Boom"

A sky-high fire ignited in the castle of Kyoto, and the entire city, including the Imperial Castle, was set on fire.

The firelight like a fire dragon even made the battlefield of Settsu dozens of miles away clearly visible.

Changzong and my Yoshikin pulled out his sword and roared angrily: "The Tokugawa family is mad, and they dare to kill the monarch and rebel, all the kings, follow me to kill the thief." ”

"The Tokugawa family murdered the monarch and plotted rebellion"

"The Tokugawa family murdered the monarch and plotted rebellion"

The roar of the Kansai Army spread throughout the battlefield.

In the formation of the Kwantung army, the Tokugawa family, which had already fallen into chaos due to the defeat on the battlefield, was in chaos.

"Yaga, who is guarding Kyoto, and why is there a fire in Kyoto?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu roared madly.

However, no one could answer him, because the Kansai army suddenly began to exert strength, and in the face of fierce artillery fire, the already crumbling Tokugawa family peasant soldiers collapsed directly.

"Rush, kill Tokugawa Iemitsu"

A group of Han soldiers disguised as soldiers of the Kansai Army cheered and rushed into the Tokugawa family's main camp, and the beaded spears in their hands were like the scythes of death, reaping the lives of the entire Tokugawa family soldiers.

"Bang", "Bang"

A random shot came, and Tokugawa Iemitsu was killed on the spot.

In the Battle of Settsu, the Tokugawa family was wiped out.

Not only Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogun, was killed, but most of the other old middle-class people were also killed, and the ruling foundation of the entire Tokugawa shogunate collapsed in an instant.

In the first month of the sixth year of Yuanwu, because the Japanese king was completely killed by the Tokugawa family, the Japanese general Nagamune Ibe Yoshiqin asked the Han to canonize a son of the clan as the king of Japan.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty readily promised to split Japan into Japan and Yingzhou in view of the different folk customs of the Kanto and Kansai regions in Japan.

In addition, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty canonized his second son Liu Jiayou as the king of Japan, and his third son Liu Jiahao as the king of Yingzhou.

The two kings were bounded by the mountain castle of Zuohe and each had a kingdom.

Since then, Japan has been officially included in the Chinese tributary system.
