"Your Excellency Shaobao, can you discuss it again." Katsuo Doi pleaded.

"No more negotiable." Wang Yue said to the guards: "Escort him out and send him away." ”

Doi Katsuo left the garrison of the Tence Army in despair, rushed all the way back, entered Edo Castle, and went straight to the Great General's Mansion.

……。

"Osaka?" Tokugawa Iemitsu showed a pained look, Osaka Castle is not easy to cede, there are too many aspects involved.

"The subordinates are incompetent!" Katsuo Doi sat on his knees and nodded with his head.

"It's not your fault, you've done a good job." Tokugawa Iemitsu Road. Now is the time to win hearts and minds, and Doi Katsuo has indeed secured a dignified surrender for himself.

"I was ready to let him open his mouth, but I didn't expect him to want Osaka Castle." Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed and said, "Let's gather the ministers of the shogunate." ”

The shogunate's elders, elders, and mid-ranking vassals came one after another to discuss the matter, and everyone acquiesced in the decision to negotiate peace.

Originally, these vassals were going to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but it was the general Tokugawa Iemitsu who signed them, and they didn't want to care about whether these 21 articles could be implemented or not, and they were afraid of care.

But now it seems that Tokugawa Iemitsu does not want to take responsibility alone, and it is not so easy to make this decision a collective decision. Therefore, the lease of Osaka and the indemnity gave rise to the controversy over the various provisions of Article 21.

The emperor changed his title to the king of Japan, how can this article be recognized by the subjects of the world? The right to build roads, the right to open mines, the right to consular jurisdiction, etc., etc., can the shogunate really implement it after signing it? Japan is a vassal state, and the princes of various places will definitely jump their feet, and when it comes to their own interests, they can't say that they will fight hard with you.

For a while, there was an uproar in the Honmaru Hall of the General's Mansion, as if it had become a vegetable market, and the sound of quarrels was about to lift off the roof tiles.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was silent, what he wanted now was a collective decision from his ministers to share his responsibilities. For the first time today, he felt that if it weren't for himself, this great general would not have suffered such a torment, and this 21 responsibility was indeed too great.

There was a lot of noise in the Honmaru Hall, and a flag samurai ran into the Honmaru Hall and shouted to Tokugawa Iemitsu out of breath, "Shogun, it's not good!" The Tence army suddenly surrounded Edo and was probably about to attack. ”

"What?" Tokugawa Iemitsu was startled, stood up and looked out, it was only afternoon, and it was still early in the dark.

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound of cannon outside.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Tiance army, under the orders of Wang Yue, quickly surrounded Edo Castle.

After arriving at the designated position, 36 self-propelled howitzers and 6 Type 99 tanks launched a heavy shelling of the walls of Edo Castle, and more than 200 mortars subsequently dropped shells into the castle.

For a time, the city walls and gates of Edo Castle were hit by high-explosive grenades, flying sand and rocks, the ground shook and the mountains shook, many city gates were smashed in the artillery fire, the doors were opened, and the Japanese troops on the city head were holding their heads and running around.

"Kill, give!"

I thought it would be a light and enjoyable battle, but I didn't expect a large number of Japanese troops to rush out of the broken city gate, brandishing all kinds of weapons, crossing the drawbridge and shouting to rush towards the Tiance army.

"All of them!" "All of them!" The heavy machine guns that had been prepared for a long time opened heavy fire on these Japanese soldiers, and the heavy bullets continued to penetrate the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground one by one.

The orderly slaughter was staged in front of the eyes, and in the continuous splash of blood, the people who launched the decisive charge fell in rows, becoming fewer and fewer, and the suspension bridge and the moat were covered with corpses, and the blood of the Japanese army stained the moat red.

There are no more Japanese troops charging out in the city gate, and there is a white flag that can be waved in the city.

The nominal master of Japan is the so-called emperor of the eternal lineage. Of course, this is the title they gave themselves, and the generals will not take it seriously.

The reality is that the emperor is a puppet, but he controls the "great righteousness". The emperor is the right, and the generals are just ministers.

Under such circumstances, Tokugawa Iemitsu certainly did not have the idea of dying for Japan. For him, the first thing is to ensure his dominance, without this, everything else is.

The sudden artillery fire immediately put an end to the quarrel in the Honmaru Palace, and the shogunate quickly made the decision to compromise with the Tence Army, because they had no choice.

The firepower of the Tence Army made them realize that Edo had become almost an undefended city.

Tokugawa Iemitsu took the elder Sakai Nakamori, the old Nakai Doi Katsuo and other shogunate ministers out of Edo Castle through the bloodstains and corpses on the road.

"Tokugawa Iemitsu, a minor minister of the foreign domain, asks to see Lord Shaobao, the king of the Ming Dynasty." Standing outside the city, facing the Tence army with loaded guns, Tokugawa Iemitsu was desolate in his heart, and it was only a long time before the shogunate was defeated, and there was no power to fight back in the face of the Tence army.

"You're the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu?" The questioner was Wang Hongwu, commander of the Fourth Brigade.

"Exactly down there." Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded.

Wang Hongwu beckoned: "Come with me." After saying that, he turned around and left, and the people of the shogunate led by Tokugawa Iemitsu, escorted by the soldiers of the Tence Army, boarded four armored vehicles one after another and headed for the port.

Tokugawa Iemitsu and these people are even more unbearable than Doi Katsuo, at least Doi Katsuo has seen a little of the world, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was riding in an armored car for the first time, looked completely in a trance after the armored car started.

As if in a dream, Tokugawa Iemitsu and the others were taken to the foredeck of the dock landing ship, and under a sun umbrella, Wang Yue was drinking tea with three beautiful women.

"Report to the commander, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogun." Wang Hongwu saluted Wang Yue.

Wang Yue said: "Oh, let him come over." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu knows a little Chinese, but his level is very scummy, and after hearing the translation of the interpreter, he was wearing clogs, "Oh, oh! He walked a few steps forward and said, "Tokugawa Iemitsu, the minister of the foreign domain, please surrender to Lord Shaobao, the king of the Ming Dynasty." As he spoke, he held a beautifully decorated katana to Wang Yue in both hands.

Wang Yue's Japanese translator is Li Xuezhu, Li Xuezhu can speak Japanese, but it is surprising that Japan and North Korea are a pair of enemies, and they have frequent contacts with each other.

After listening to Li Xuezhu's translation, Wang Yue stood up, took the katana and handed it to Li Xuezhu, and said to Tokugawa Iemitsu: "This official has agreed to Doi Katsuo's request, and the two of us only claim to negotiate peace with the outside world, after all, you will be your general in the future." ”

"Thank you Wang Shaobao for your magnanimity, and the ministers are grateful." Tokugawa Iemitsu said with joy. The Tiance army bombarded Edo Castle violently, and he thought that Wang Yue had completely torn his face with him.
