Thirty years of recuperation since the Great Battle of Sekigahara erupted on the edge of Osaka Castle, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, which is not enough to describe the battlefield, and the young samurai who were born and raised in the thirty years after the Great War of Sekigahara were thrown on the ground in piles, lying in pits, and floating in the river.

This is not only the shogunate army, but also the left and right flanks of the Western Army, which have suffered heavy blows from the left and right sides of the shogunate in the morning, especially the Maori family, which was not spelled out in the Battle of Sekigahara thirty years ago, and this is a major repayment with profits, before the war, the Maori family was able to mobilize more than 30,000 samurai at its limit, and after this battle, there were only more than 10,000 left.

The astonishing smell of blood is overwhelming, and the specific number of casualties can no longer be counted, but it definitely exceeds the last battle of Osaka, when the Toyotomi family lost more than 30,000 or 40,000 people, and the shogunate also killed more than 10,000 people.

However, Mao Jue was looking forward to it, and those samurai who cut their bellies after losing the battle did not see a few, and when Mao Jue finally ordered to accept the surrender in the evening, the Date Tadazong of the Date family, as well as several daimyo such as Naito, Torii, Hiraiwa, Ishikawa, etc., all abandoned the military flag and surrendered, as for the Matsudaira family, there are no more kidneys than the spectrum and the outer daimyo, the captured Matsudaira family, and the Tokugawa family can be counted.

Coupled with the surrender of more than 7,000 samurai from the Uesugi family and 15,000 from the Maeda family, the combat effectiveness of the Western Army basically remained the same as before the war, while the main army of the Eastern Shogunate was almost destroyed, the Tokugawa Banner army was scattered and suffered about three or four thousand casualties on the spot, and the rest retreated, and the 140,000 people of the right army were stirred up by two-stirring sticks, plus the left army of the Western Army was captured from the mountain, and the authority was also retreated, and the casualties should be in the tens of thousands, and the left army, including the main force of the Tokugawa family in the Kanto Plain, was considered to be annihilated, with the back of the Kizu River, There was simply no room for retreat, and there was no formed unit to break out.

In fact, in terms of numbers, the Western Army was even more inferior than the historical Battle of Osaka, but the results of the two major battles were completely different, just because there was an additional elite cavalry regiment that could quickly destroy the command center of the shogunate army, and history is so capricious.

But what is the specific result, the night is already dark, and Mao Jue, who is exhausted from a hard day's battle, and the Western Army really don't have the energy to count, and even the captured Eastern Army only locked up the daimyo and heavy generals, and the army's weapons were confiscated, as for the samurai of the Eastern Army who had no weapons, they simply went to the Tokugawa Kizugawa camp, and even if they ran away, they didn't bother to care.

The day of hard fighting was so tiring that the Dongjiang Army, which had always gotten up on time to run drills, got up more than half an hour late the next day, and at about eight o'clock in the morning, the Western Army reorganized itself in the camp of Nishifuyama, and the bleak night wind did not take away a bit of blood, trampling on the corpses all over the ground, and the army completely took over the Tokugawa Iemitsu military camp and began to plan to march to Osaka Castle.

But unexpectedly, at about ten o'clock in the morning, before the army was ready to cross the river, the pontoon bridge on the other side of the river actually came back, and thousands of Japanese people were full of tears, trembling across the river to find it in person, and knelt fiercely under the three or five paulownia patterns of the Toyotomi family, and the old men who were half-bald at the head of the head kowtowed excitedly.

"Toyotomi family, it's back!"

Osaka Castle has surrendered by itself!

At this time, the Wa country did not have the national idea of the great unification of later generations, and the sense of subordination of the people to which country and which leader was still quite strong, especially the Toyotomi family, which once ruled the world, left a very deep imprint on Osaka City, especially the people of Osaka can never forget, after the destruction of the Toyotomi family, the Tokugawa shogunate carried out a massacre in Osaka Castle, and there were as many as 14,000 heads cut off alone, and everything related to the Toyotomi family, the old and weak, women and children did not let go.

This hatred even continued into World War II, when the Osaka Fourth Division, composed of Osaka vendors, was a notoriously wasted division in both the Chinese and Pacific theaters, and became the unit with the fewest casualties and the most complete structure in the entire war, precisely because of this unique cultural heritage that has been precipitated by more than 200 years of history.

Now it's only thirty years later, and the generation that experienced the scars of the war in the previous generation has not died, and when the Toyotomi family's five-seven pailowni pattern appeared outside the city, the old party clan in the city had already planned to rebel, if it wasn't for the Tokugawa Iemitsu's attack too quickly, and the decisive battle went too fast, it is estimated that in a few days, Osaka Castle itself would have to make a mess and let the shogunate's backyard catch fire.

However, the peaceful surrender of Osaka Castle still brought great benefits to Mao Jue, a complete Osaka Castle with 100,000 taels of gold and 450,000 stone grains stored in it, in order to show the dominance of the Tokugawa family in the western country, it was rebuilt, no less than the castle tower of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, and everything needed to rebuild the regime was received in the city.

It was really regarded as a liberator, when the troops entered the city, even almost the entire city was boiling, those samurai from the west originally wanted to get some souvenirs with unclean hands and feet, who knew that the crazy people who entered the city directly put eggs, cakes, sake, sushi These condolences desperately stuffed into the hands of the soldiers, and the beautiful big girls gave hot kisses regardless of etiquette, and looked like they were picking up, even if these soldiers were embarrassed, and their faces were red.

Kunimatsumaru and Chiyohime were sent out of Osaka Castle when one was still in infancy, and the other was still young, and they had no impression of this mother city, but Kai Kai Ji was different, although she also belonged to the trophies that were dedicated to Toyotomi Hideyoshi after the defeat, but as a member of the Toyotomi family, here, she experienced the most glorious and blank era of the Toyotomi family, and the streets and alleys seemed to have the shadow left by yesterday's youth.

was originally in the rear army, but when she entered the city, the old lady was stunned and took Kunimatsumaru and Chiyoji to the forefront of the army, so that Mao Jue and Yuan Chonghuan had no choice, and threw the matter of receiving the spoils to Su Changmei, and accompanied the crazy old lady to rush into the castle tower first.

There are still some wooden flutes, and in the spacious castle tower hall, Kunimatsumaru is looking left and right in a daze, and Chiyohime's mind is all on the brilliant cherry blossoms in the courtyard, and the little brain can't help but look back, and the heart has already flown out wildly.

Full of madness, the Jiafei Hall staggered and slammed into the platform specially built by the city lord general, his hands full of sorrow were raised, with a mixture of desolation and excitement, and some heart-rending shouts.

"Hideyoshi, you have a spirit in the sky, the Toyotomi family is back!"

After all, I have lived for so long again, I am afraid that this old lady will be excited, on the side, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly persuaded him softly, this atmosphere made Mao Jue feel quite uncomfortable, looked in the room, and immediately put his hands behind his back, Mao Jue turned around and went out.

It is no wonder that the most powerful people throughout the ages have been willing to build high-rise buildings, and the castle tower is located at the highest point of Osaka Castle, and from the balcony on the third floor here, you can see the whole of Osaka Castle, and the people who have not yet dispersed are still shouting excitedly, and a sense of accomplishment for all the world is born.

The cheering people didn't know that it was not so much the Osaka City of the Toyotomi family, but the Toyotomi Castle family of his Mao Jue, when he came to this era, this was the first major thing he did, the history of the Ming Dynasty had not been rewritten by him, but Japan with a strip of water was completely changed because of him, Mao Jue didn't believe it, after this defeat, his Tokugawa family could still turn over.

I don't know how to cultivate the evening cherry blossoms below, this fashion and in full bloom, the colorful petals are romantically flying, but there is no such feelings as Jia Fei Ji, get off the sedan chair, Su Yi and Yu Leer have been excited to play in the yard, these days the dull military career has made the two Nizi suffocated, broken two cherry blossoms hanging on their heads, two girls are crazy like two flowers and butterflies.

Holding a stack of military newspapers standing aside, although Adlena did not follow a piece of madness, but her bright smile still showed that the girl's heart was bursting, and Mao Jue was the most heart-warming is her, when Mao Jue looked down, she also felt something, suddenly turned around, and immediately looked at Mao Jue on the balcony, she suddenly crooked her little brain, and showed him a bright smile.

Suddenly, his heart felt like he was soaked in honey ice cream, Mao Jue also smiled and nodded, waving his hand gently.

The huge military array outside the city is still slowly returning to the barracks, and the frolicking sound of His Royal Highness's beauty is in his ears, although there is no flower world before the crossing, but all this in front of him is still enough to make the man's blood boil, looking at it, a thing called ambition in Mao Jue's chest is once again vigorously sprouting out.

Landscape! Beauty!

…………

"Meet His Highness Taiko!"

Lang Lang's voice came out brightly from the spacious palace of Osaka Castle, and hundreds of daimyos, flags, and retainers bowed neatly to the ground, bowing respectfully, and the wide prince's robes were swept on both sides, and their buttocks were high above their heads, and their respectful appearance was like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who worshiped the fierce and mighty Megatron in the past.

In 1634 AD, the seventh year of Chongzhen, the tenth year of Kanei in Japan, and the eighteenth day of June, the Toyotomi family, which had been away from Fuso politics for fifteen years, once again won Osaka with the attitude of the world, but unlike before, kneeling on the hall, it was just a teenager who looked down with a nervous look, and the center of all the princes' fear was the man standing beside him, who was dressed in black feathers, and did not paint any family crests on his body. The hair is not shaved like the samurai, but it is on the same young man.

In the second Osaka Summer Battle, the main force of the Tokugawa family of the shogunate was defeated, and then the head inspection was carried out, and more than 50,000 heads were picked out on the battlefield, not including those who jumped into the river and drowned, or were beaten by cannons.

The hideous tired head once again proclaimed Mao Jue's hegemony, and after participating in the first level inspection, he didn't dare to intervene in how Mao Jue would manipulate the government of the Toyotomi family next, even if he was also a daimyo of the Western Army.

The Toyotomi family's five commissions system was restored again, and Mao Jue, the big commissioner, naturally no one could move away, but then Yuan Chonghuan was actually given a position by him, followed by Kuroda Tadayuki, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, Maori Hide, although the Nabeshima family also participated in the war a lot, but after all, the Nabeshima family is not as strong as Shimazu, and it is still subordinate to the Eastern Army in history, and it was finally squeezed out of the decision-making center, and it was hung up in the name of Ruonian, and the rest of the people who participated in the Western Army, the daimyo of more than 100,000 stones, were also hung up in the official position of Ruonian, Participated in the politics of the Toyotomi family.

However, although Mao Jue presided over the pacification of meritorious deeds, the huge western country cut one knife in the east and one knife in the west, and newly divided more than a dozen daimyo and more than 100 retainers of the banner family, and the Maori family had 750,000 stones, and the Toyotomi family only had 660,000 stones left in Settsu, which naturally could not satisfy Mao Jue's appetite.

Fortunately, the shogunate has been beaten into a grandson, and there is no power to resist, I spent about a month in Osaka to re-establish the ruling order, after the official position, in July, Mao Jue continued to ignite the flames of war, and launched an offensive to the south and north at the same time, Wakasa, Tamba, Yamashiro, Omi in the north, Kawachi in the south, Kii, Yamato, Iga Ise, etc. fell into the hands of Mao Jue one after another, and by October, he had expanded his power to a higher level than the peak of the Toyotomi family, sitting on twelve kingdoms, with a stone height of more than 4.2 million stones.

However, it is worth mentioning that even if the 580,000 koku of the Kishu domain of the Gosanchu clan is lost, and the Nishikoku Tenryo is more than 1.5 million koku, the Tokugawa family's general's domain and the daimyo domain of the pro-clan are still almost 5.8 million koku, which is still higher than that of the Toyotomi family.

It's just that this year, Mao Jue is going to stop here, after all, since the end of last year, he has been fighting for more than half a year, and the Dongjiang Army is also tired.

Kishu, Wakayama Castle.

It was another very familiar scene, at the door of the Kishu Tokugawa family's apartment, a large row of carriages was parked there, and inside was the Dongjiang sergeants constantly carrying back and forth, what world-famous tea utensils, those jade screens, fans, boxes, gold and silverware, and grain and rice, were carried to the cart one after another, and they were continuously transported to the port.

In the final analysis, what did Mao Jue fight desperately for, not for the spoils of war, to feed the Dongjiang family, the property of those landlords and old rich people of the Tokugawa family is stolen, as a righteous party, he will confiscate it, and take it to reward the righteous soldiers, rightfully so!

This Wen Meng personally shouted and moved happily, but behind Mao Jue, Su Changmei turned into a fart, suffering with a bitter gourd face, and chattering sadly.

"Master General, last time I cleared the inventory of Edo City, Lord Yuan was already very unhappy! If the Kishu Domain is emptied again this time, Lord Yuan will not be mad! Save some! ”

"I said, are you our Dongjiang military commander, or these little devils' military horses!"

was three points bigger by his nagging head, Mao Jue turned around impatiently and shouted, who knows, one sentence made this thing's face even more bitter.
