Chapter 348 The war is over

Hojo Tokimune hides a lot of strength, this is a means he arranged in advance, and its purpose is only one, that is, the Hojo family can continue to maintain the identity of the manager in the future, so as not to be wiped out in the war.

However, the coalition led by Yamada was not strong in combat but numerous, and there were many fanatical followers of His Majesty the Emperor, and even a few farmers could burst out when they were swayed by faith.

Hojo Tokimune has always controlled the rhythm of the battle in a state of anxiety, as long as the Song army's firearms battalion has a little help, it can gain the upper hand in front of the Yamada coalition army, although it can't win or lose in one battle, but it can also make Yamada bleed.

Zhao Tianyou's order, Hojo Shizong was like pouring a bucket of ice water from his head, from his hair to his heels, Zhao Tianyou was like having a pair of eyes that saw through all his inner thoughts, making him powerless to resist and unable to escape.

Blocking Yamada's coalition army, if the Song army directly participated in the battle, it is estimated that Yamada's head is now hanging high on the flagpole, and there will be no chance to shout in front of the battle.

Now that it has been seen through, if the ink goes down, I am afraid that Zhao Tianyou will really kill his Hojo family first, and then support another family to be the manager, wouldn't it be in vain to do so much useless work, and to fight hard to gain Zhao Tianyou's trust is the only way out for the Hojo family.

So Hojo Tokimune issued a secret order, summoning three thousand elite samurai who had been hidden before the war, and when they were added to the ranks, the strength of the Hojo family increased greatly, and the unknown Yamada was defeated and returned, and he abandoned his armor and fled all the way for dozens of miles.

This tough battle shook the prestige of the Hojo family, and the morale of the troops on the opposite side of Yamada's department began to waver, and the coalition army of more than 100,000 people could not kill the team of more than 10,000 people of the Hojo family, which was really a great shame, and Yamada, who had been leading the army, was also punished and deprived of command.

Sensing that Hojo Shizong was doing his best, Zhao Tianyou also relented, and asked the firearms battalion that was in front of the battle to provide part of the fire support, and followed the Hojo family team to the north to speed up the liquidation of the forces of the Emperor family supported by the north.

Once the critical point of confrontation is exceeded in a war, the gap between the strengths of the two sides has already been illustrated, and the examples of defeating the strong with the weak and the more with less often deliberately ignore the details of their determining factors, and only by drawing out the story of individual heroism can they be made into a wonderful story that will be passed down for a long time.

The strength on the battlefield contains many aspects, and the coalition forces that now represent the emperor's forces, except for the large number of people and the large number of food, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to find a place stronger than the Hojo family or the Song army, and it is unknown how long they can hold out without being driven into the sea.

The entire northern part of Honshu Island, covered with swamps and wetlands, was not suitable for large-scale group battles, so the Hojo family, which was a strong soldier, was like a fish in water, and one small victory after another slowly weakened the advantage of the coalition forces, and the gap between the two sides became smaller and smaller.

The Emperor's coalition army, which had always been strong, was also full of contradictions internally at this time, and some small forces that were coerced into joining the coalition were now able to suppress them and became weaker and weaker, so they wanted to take this opportunity to get out of control.

The hesitant emperor has a weak personality, and it is the nature of all living beings to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and no one wants to die meaninglessly, but as an emperor who inherits the imperial family of the Japanese country, although the power is sidelined, he does not think about surrendering and surviving every day.

From the South China Sea Fleet when the troops pressed the border, the emperor did not think about resisting, and directly knelt down and surrendered to be a vassal, which did not have any impact on him, on the surface he was the respect of a country admired by thousands of people, and the representative of the entire Japanese inheritance, but it was the Kamakura shogunate who controlled everything, and he was just a puppet on the stage.

So he doesn't care who the new master is, it doesn't matter who he calls his minister, he just hopes to continue to live in the palace in peace, and a few more beautiful women every day is much more interesting than managing the country and governing the people.

When Yamada was defeated by Hojo Tokimune, the emperor once again proposed, simply surrender now, we still have men and horses, and it is better to give our wealth to the Song army from afar than to consume it in the war.

How can four or five families who are fighting the main battle agree, at this time, everyone has already boarded this boat, either sink together or carry it together, your emperor has a special status, that is, if you surrender, it is estimated that all the treatment will be retained, and continue to be your chic puppet on the stage, but what about our families who send troops and money?

The invaders of the Song Dynasty may not care, but will the ruthless Hojo Tokimune pretend not to know? With their years of experience in fighting openly and secretly together, the Hojo family will divide them one after another, and those who can surrender to him will be selectively absorbed, while the fate of the others will be extremely miserable, and there will be no way to live at all.

With the passage of time, some small family forces will get lost on the march, maybe they really went in the wrong direction, maybe they turned around and looked for another way to live, and the most worrying thing for these big family leaders was that this small force went to Hojo Tokimune to find a way out.

As the firearms battalion entered the battle, the coalition of more than 100,000 emperors' forces collapsed, and in addition to the loss of 20,000 people on the battlefield, most of them were scattered, leaving only three families with the strength of more than 10,000 people.

The emperor was no longer involved in any military affairs, and under the protection of dozens of close guards and guards, he played with a few young girls behind closed doors every day, as if he had long forgotten his identity as the king of the dead country.

Hojo Shizong acted decisively and ruthlessly, and the speculations of the three families were not in vain, the strength of their families allowed Hojo Shizong to recruit and absorb about half, and the other half was slaughtered cleanly, and the core children and immediate family members of the big family were even more killed without leaving behind.

As the war in the north drew to a close, the samurai army under Hojo Tokimune had exceeded 40,000, and in the process of destroying the Emperor's coalition forces, more than 100,000 samurai were killed or wounded, almost as many as the total number of deaths in the civil wars that had fought for power in the past few decades.

So far, Hojo Tokijong has become Zhao Tianyou's only choice, and there is no other family that can compete with him for the ability to manage the management, and there is only one Hokkaido left, and there is no room for the second family to develop and grow.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Hojo Tokijong's rescue is too late, His Majesty the Emperor would rather suffer!"

"General Hojo, you are here, save me from the dire situation, otherwise I will be killed by them soon, and these thieves who rebel against the royal family should be stripped of their skins and ashes for three days."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their faces relaxed.
