Chapter 331: Capture the City of Tokyo
Outside of Tokyo, a flat plain area became the temporary garrison of the Ming Expeditionary Force.
All the generals of the Combined Fleet at the regimental level and above who came to participate in the decisive battle this time have been ordered to come to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Looking at the young faces in front of him, Zhu Youxiao clenched his fists and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember what I told you when I was on an expedition to the Wa Kingdom?"
"Today's world is the age of the ocean, and it has always been a world of the jungle!"
"If we want to develop greatly and live comfortably in this world, we must open up a broad enough space!"
"If we want the Han nation to prosper forever, we must destroy or conquer all other races in this world!"
The eyes of the generals looked at Zhu Youxiao for a moment, and the eyes in their eyes were full of strange scorching.
Zhu Youxiao continued: "Therefore, we need the land here, and we need to turn this country into a state capital of our Ming Empire, which will be called Yingzhou in the future!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao obviously felt the excitement in these guys' hearts, and shouted: "Everyone, what are you hesitating about? The city of Tokyo has no defense, no different from a lamb to the slaughter! ”
"Most of the samurai and ashigaru elites of the Wakuni Shogunate have been wiped out in the Ueharano......"
"I command! Hit Tokyo now! ”|
Amid deafening cheers, the officers and men of the various divisions dispersed at the extraordinary meeting and began to make preparations for the capture of the largest city in the Japanese kingdom.
Half an hour later, except for the troops who were in charge of the surrounding guards, almost all the soldiers lined up in a neat military formation and shouted and killed the city of Tokyo!
The shogunate army at the head of Tokyo had already lost the will to resist, and before the soldiers of the Ming Expeditionary Force rushed to the front, they dispersed in a hurry!
As early as the Battle of Ueno, the resistance consciousness of the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom had been completely destroyed by the Ming Expeditionary Force.
The artillery officers and men who fired first fired only three salvos lifted the gates of the huge Tokyo Castle, and Zhong Jixiang personally led a Royal Marine Brigade officers and men to take charge of the first arrival.
After a while, the soldiers wiped out all the widows guarding the city gate area.
The army then rushed into the city without much effort.
Since the beginning of the written record in the history of the Japanese Invaders, the bloodiest, most brutal, most inhumane, and darkest clean-up and clean-up work has slowly kicked off......
A battalion-level officer kicked open a courtyard door, and when he looked inside, he was immediately stunned:
I saw that the courtyard, which was not very spacious, was already crowded with people.
Old and young, men and women, peasants who fled to the city from the countryside outside the city to seek refuge, and refugees who fled from the west along the way.
There were unarmed civilians, and there were shogunate soldiers with weapons in their hands.
These people are of different ages and appearances, but the expressions on their faces and the expressions in their eyes are all the same:
Fear, despair, and death, each of them seems to have lost all their spirits, and they all have the appearance of being weak and slaughtered!
The Royal Navy officer was taken aback, and quickly grabbed the whistle hanging from his neck and blew it, and the sharp sound of the horn pierced the sky.
On the street in the distance, the sound of chaotic footsteps soon sounded, and a black-clothed and black-armored soldier of a thousand-man team rushed to the scene with swords, guns and crossbows.
The leader of the general stepped forward with a repeater and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The school officer pointed to the courtyard and replied loudly: "Report, there are a lot of Japanese people in this courtyard, as well as shogunate soldiers!" ”
The regimental general waved the repeater crossbow in his hand and shouted, "Fence up!" ”
When the soldiers surrounded the entire courtyard, the general hurried to the gate of the courtyard, and when he looked up, he was also startled: the courtyard was shoulder to shoulder, head to head, crowded with water, not to mention 2,000 people!
"Alert!"
As soon as the regimental general gave the order, the heavily armed soldiers quickly raised the crossbows in their hands and began to wait for the battle.
He turned back to an intelligence officer who knew a little Japanese and beckoned, "Xiao Mao, go up and shout to them." ”
As early as the beginning of the war, the Royal Military Intelligence Service was ready to gather 2,000 linguistically gifted intelligence officers to conduct surprise training of interpreters in case of emergency.
The intelligence officer, in accordance with the commander's instructions, stepped forward and shouted in the Japanese language: "Listen, the people inside all put down their weapons and squat, holding their heads in their hands!" Disobedient, dead, dead. ”
There was a commotion in the courtyard, and the general of the Ming New Army shouted loudly, and the group of soldiers behind him "hulala" was the sound of crossbow arrows winding.
Seeing this battle, the riot in the courtyard quickly subsided.
All the Japanese soldiers, including the shogunate soldiers, squatted on the ground very obediently.
The resistance of the Japanese people had been completely destroyed in the Battle of Uenohara, and they were like waste that had been stripped of their backbones, and they could no longer stand up in their chests. I love to read Chinese
Even if there were only a few invaders' soldiers outside the courtyard, they would be as pliable as lambs.
Even if these vicious invaders put knives and guns on their necks, they would not dare to resist at all, but would only obediently lead their necks and kill them.
These soldiers and civilians who had already surrendered belonged to the category of people who could be reformed through labor because Zhu Youxiao had told them to be let go and used to form a labor reform team.
A moment later, this large group of people was driven to a designated place, where a team of staff clerks and a team of 1,000 soldiers were registered and interrogated and incorporated into one labor camp after screening and interrogation.
……
Tokyo's Kitajo district was a gathering place for civil and military officials and high-ranking samurai.
In addition to the shogun's mansion of Tokugawa Iemitsu, there are also residences of Sakai Tadayo, Doi Toshikatsu and others.
These mansions have mountains, rivers and gardens, and they are very magnificent.
A general of the Ming Expeditionary Army, with a thousand-strong team of soldiers, broke into Sakai Tadashi's mansion, and more than a dozen samurai brandished katana and howled to meet him.
There was a piercing sound of repeaters, and the dozen or so warriors quickly collapsed in a pool of blood.
The general did not stop and led his soldiers straight into the backyard.
The yard is full of cherry blossom trees, and the cherry blossoms on the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom, and the courtyard is full of fragrance.
However, the peace here was quickly broken, and the screams were incessant, which made people feel sad......
……
Tokyo City South.
Hundreds of shogunate soldiers who had no time to escape were besieged in a neighborhood and had become prisoners of the soldiers of the Ming Expeditionary Army.
On the rooftops on both sides of the street, there were already soldiers in black clothes and black armor, and the cold light of the crossbows and the bright swords and guns were already aimed at the shogunate soldiers in the encirclement.
All the soldiers of the shogunate had already put down their weapons and were driven into a mass by the soldiers like sheep.
"Get on your knees!"
A warrior general who knew a little about the Japanese language roared, and hundreds of shogunate soldiers surrendered, and they immediately fell to their knees in unison.
"Blindfolded!"
The general shouted again, and no one hesitated, let alone dared to disobey his orders.
All the shogunate soldiers obediently tore off a strip of cloth from themselves and honestly blindfolded themselves.
A few hours ago, they were soldiers with weapons in hand, but now they were just a herd of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The general strode forward, drew his personal saber and shouted:
"The soldiers of the third squadron are out!"
“…… Preparation! ”
In the sound of "click" footsteps, a hundred-man soldier strode forward with a firearm and stood behind the rows of shogunate captives kneeling on the ground, and the swarthy muzzle of the gun was already aimed at the vest of the shogunate captives.
"Shoot!"
"Bang ......"
With the general's order, countless bullets shot through the bodies of the two hundred shogunate soldiers who knelt in front of him.
The faces of these captives were filled with expressions of intense pain, and they fell to the ground one after another, red blood slowly pouring out from under them, and their slightly twitching bodies soon stopped moving.
"The hundred-man squad of the 4th squadron is out of the ......"
The general turned his gaze to another group of soldiers who were waiting for him.
Another hundred-man soldier stepped forward and stood behind another row of shogunate captives kneeling on the ground, repeating the movements of his comrades as usual.
Later, the general shouted, "Ready! ”
"Bang ......"
It wasn't until most of the soldiers of the thousand-man squad under this general took turns to kill once, and the Japanese warriors here were captured and slaughtered.
Zhu Youxiao had just ridden the snow-stepping horse Xiaobai and came not far from the corner of the street.
He witnessed this bloody scene, his face was indifferent as usual, and there was an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.
