One thousand one hundred and seventy-two Wu Weizhong's shock
The Ming Dynasty is over, the Great Qin is established, and Xiao Ruxun has established a new dynasty and become the emperor!
Xiao Ruxun, who organized the Korean campaign with one hand and planned to divide Japan into three parts, actually became the emperor!
This can't be regarded as a good thing for Japan in any case, although Daqin must be in chaos now, and Xiao Ruxun must be in a hurry, but they can distinguish the difference between the general and the emperor, and they won't feel that there is anything wrong with it.
The difference between a general and an emperor, can't you tell the difference?
Can what a general can do the same thing as what an emperor can do?
After learning the news, the Toyotomi clan and Tokugawa Ieyasu withdrew the soldiers and horses in the Iwami area almost simultaneously, and then cautiously continued to listen for the news, and soon after, they received the news that Wu Weizhong had returned to China by boat.
Although Wu Weizhong went back, the Ming soldiers in the Iwami area, especially in the Yinshan mining area, were more tightly defended, as if they were guarding against something.
The Tokugawa clan and the Toyotomi clan were extremely anxious, and they wanted to know what Xiao Ruxun's tricks were.
As a result, a month later, Wu Weizhong returned, not only by himself, but also with 10,000 troops, bringing the number of troops in the Iwami region to 20,000, stronger and more fortified.
Then he removed the Mingzi Banner and replaced it with the Great Qin Flying Dragon Battle Banner with the black background color.
20,000 Qin troops guarded the Ishimi mining area, and this posture couldn't be clearer.
Xiao Ruxun, who created all this with his own hands, has never forgotten Japan, and he is doing this to warn the two major forces in Japan, be honest and careful, otherwise, the next time it will not be 10,000 troops, but 100,000 crusading troops!
Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideji were frightened, frightened at the same time, but also deeply frustrated.
They couldn't figure out how the Ming Dynasty, which had a huge Ming court and a million soldiers, was defeated by Xiao Ruxun?
Why did the Ming court lose so badly? Defeated so simply?
It's completely unimaginable!
But this was the case, and soon, Xiao Ruxun sent envoys to Kyoto.
On behalf of the Great Qin Emperor Xiao Ruxun, the envoy summoned Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideji, two lords of Japanese power, plus the so-called puppet emperor, and announced in front of them that Daqin would inherit all the interests of Daming in overseas countries and inherit the status of the Ming suzerainty, and asked them to hand over the seal given by Daming and accept the title of Daqin instead, and proclaim themselves to Daqin.
In the face of Great Qin's strong demands, the Tokugawa clan and the Toyotomi clan also temporarily forgot about the hostility and held a meeting, at which it was decided to accept Great Qin's request and let the emperor change Great Qin as the suzerainty on behalf of Japan, and so on.
In addition to the order, the envoys also demanded that the Japanese emperor accept the title of "King of Japan" of Daqin, and not allow the use of the title of emperor, for this request, aroused strong opposition from the major Japanese princes, although Maeda Toshiie and Tokugawa Ieyasu thought that it was better to accept than not to accept, but they were forced to protest because of the opposition of the people below.
It is the tradition of the ancients to say that the emperor of Japan was a title that existed before the relationship between the two countries a long time ago, and although Great Qin is the suzerain, it should not make such excessive demands on Japan, and it is also said that other vassal states are also like this, on the surface they are vassals, but internally they still claim to be emperors, why didn't Great Qin ask for it?
The Qin envoy responded that Da Qin was no longer Da Ming, and Da Ming could turn a blind eye, but Da Qin wouldn't.
Great Qin has already put forward the same requirements to the major vassal states, asking them to learn from Korea together, to be sincere in their respect for Great Qin, and to be only able to claim the title of king internally, not to be called emperor, and Japan is not the only one.
In order to further deter Japan, Wu Weizhong decisively ordered a group of men and horses to be reorganized and dispatched urgently.
This army of men and horses was divided into two routes, one way to the Nagato country under the leadership of Luo Shangzhi, and one way to the Izumo country led by Wu Weizhong himself, and the two teams each won a victory.
The Qin army's latest weapons and tactics were used for the first time in Japan, and they achieved great results, killing more than 10,000 local Tokugawa and Toyotomi garrisons, and the Toyotomi and Tokugawa armies were defeated like a mountain.
The Tokugawa clan army lost more than 1,000 people, the rest fled, hundreds were captured, the Toyotomi clan killed more than 1,500 people, the rest fled, a few were captured, and the captured captives were beheaded, and none of them remained.
The Qin army did not stop there, but began to burn, kill and loot in the Izumo and Nagato countries, and did all kinds of evil.
The Nagato and Izumo provinces were each burned and plundered more than a dozen villages, and were basically razed to the ground, and the people were either killed or taken into slavery, and the losses were very heavy, and the daimyo of the Tokugawa and Toyotomi clans and their armies did not dare to resist head-on, and all of them retreated.
Not only that, but the Qin army also cut off the heads of the killed soldiers and cast them into Kyokan as a deterrent, one in Nagato Province and one in Izumo Province to show off their strength to Japan.
And also claimed that if Japan tried to resist Daqin and did not accept the conditions, everyone would meet again in Kyoto, and at that time, it would not be such a simple thing to solve!
For a while, most of the opposition disappeared, and only a few people who wanted to save face or simply didn't know how to write dead words were still shouting, saying that they wanted the dignity of the country and the like, but of course no one paid attention to them.
After not fighting for seven years, it seems that some people don't have a good memory, so Xiao Ruxun authorized Wu Weizhong to help him have a long memory if someone has a bad memory, so that they can remember how they were chased and killed by the Ming army from Korea to Japan.
Don't show mercy to your subordinates, this is a group of uncivilized Yi people who are afraid of power but not virtue, the more ruthless you kill, the more you slaughter, the more afraid they are, the more they dare not be presumptuous.
Wu Weizhong said that he would obey His Majesty's will, and then waved his army to kill.
After not doing it for a long time, Wu Weizhong felt that his body was rusty, and this time he had to personally lead the troops to the battlefield to fight no matter what.
The sudden attack of the Qin army scared Tokugawa Ieyasu and Maeda Toshiie enough, especially the defeat made them realize that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was not weaker than that of the Ming army, but had increased.
They seem to have wrongly overestimated the growth of their own strength, and they also wrongly underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.
Those who fled back cried about the Qin army's powerful firepower and sophisticated equipment.
Everyone wears armor, everyone uses weapons made of stainless steel, the military appearance is neat, and the advance and retreat are well-founded.
They were suppressed in firearms, and the iron cannons couldn't beat them, and the Qin army's bird guns were stronger in attack and more trained.
The artillery could not be beaten, the Qin artillery had a longer range, and the gunners were more well trained, so they were pressed and beaten.
Finally reached the hand-to-hand combat stage, they brandished long knives to fight in close combat, but they were defeated by the Qin army's swords and guns.
Wu Weizhong's deterrence was very effective, and with 5,000 men and horses, he completely destroyed the defenses set up by Tokugawa Toyotomi and Izumo in Nagato and Izumo countries, and also burned and looted many places, slaughtering and destroying villages at every turn, without mercy, and his actions were very cruel and violent.
This was obviously the instruction of Emperor Xiao Ruxun of Qin.
