52 Asian Overlord 1
At the same time as seizing access to the Black Sea, the Third Army clashed with the Ottoman Empire and occupied a number of Ottoman territories
The Ottoman Empire was founded by the Turks, the first king of Osman I, who first lived in Central Asia and adopted Islam as the state religion, and later moved to Asia Minor, and when it flourished and flourished, it reached the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and dominated most of Southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, west to Morocco, east to the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf, north to Austria and Romania, and south and Sudan Since the destruction of the Eastern Roman Empire, the capital of Constantinople was renamed Istanbul, and the heir of the Roman Empire regarded himself as the lord of the world. Inheriting the Roman Empire and Islamic civilization, Eastern and Western civilizations were thus united in his hands
The Ottoman Empire began to decline in the seventeenth century, but this period was not simply a period of stagnation and decline for the Ottoman Empire, but also a period when the empire and its institutions began to adapt to internal and external pressures and things
The period of the Sultan's feminist period 1648-1656 was a period when the imperial harem had a great influence on politics, and it was not unprecedented for the empress dowager to exercise power on behalf of her son, and after Sultan Xurem succeeded Sultan Nurbanu as Sultana in the early 1530s, she was replaced by Venice by Venetian Bairo Andrea? Described by Jeridi as a "woman of great kindness, courage and intelligence", due to the inability of Ibrahim I to govern the country and the accession of the young Muhammad IV to the throne in 1646, the government was handed over to the imperial harem, the most famous women of this period were the Sultan of Kosem and his daughter-in-law Duheng? Hattijie, the Sultan of Kosem invited political enemies to kill her in 1651
The current Ottoman Empire entered the Coplülu period, during which the empire was appointed Grand Vizier by a member of the Koprülu familyOn September 15, 1656, at the age of eighty, Koprülü? Muhammad? Pasha get Duchen? Hattijie guaranteed that the imperial harem would not interfere with his handling of government affairs? Muhammad? Pasha was a radical conservative enforcer who restored central power and imperial power, and Prince Eugen conquered Crete in 1657
The current Ottoman emperor is Muhammad IV, the nineteenth Ottoman Sultan's full name is Muhammad? Root? Ibrahim? Root? Ahmed ascended the throne at the age of 6 after his father Ibrahim was deposed, and his grandmother and then his mother presided over the government.
During the first eight years of Muhammad's ascension to the throne, there was corruption in the court** and rebellions in various places. Koplulu (1576~1661) took severe measures, executed about 30,000 corrupt officials, lawless soldiers and rebels within 5 years, rectified and restored domestic order, diverted the religious fund to secular use, and alleviated the financial crisis Since 1663, Mehmed IV began to lead the conquest of various Christian countries in Europe as the leader of the orthodox sect of Islam, but due to serious internal injuries in the empire and lack of financial resources, although he once achieved excellent results, but his record deteriorated in 1657, defeating the Venetian army, The conquest of Crete in 1663 attacked the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was defeated by the Central European alliance, and was forced to sign a 20-year peace treaty, and the Sudan no longer had the right to depose the monarchs of Eastern Europe
Since the Ottoman Empire had just been defeated by Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire now did not have much military strength to deal with the army of the Ming Empire, they were defeated by the Third Army, due to the decline of the Ottoman Empire, they did not counterattack, but only stabilized the front first, and the army of the Ming Empire did not launch a closer offensive, and the two sides temporarily stopped fighting
Although the Ming Empire paid the other side a million silver coins for military expenses, Li Long also knew that it must be more beneficial, Li Long sent envoys to negotiate with Finland again, and adopted low taxes and trade preferential policies for Finland, so that Finland also got some practical benefits, and also strengthened the relationship between the two
As the Ming Imperial fleet was idle, they received Li Long's task, and the Ming Imperial fleet began to cross the vast Pacific Ocean, extending its tentacles to the American continent, and getting in touch with the Tokyo Military Region that was entrenched in the Yukon Territory At this time, the northern part of North America was inaccessible, and the colonial armies of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries had not yet extended their hands to the north of North America, and they were still stationed in large coastal areas in the central and southern regions of North America to establish their colonial bases
In the morning, when the sun had just risen and shone brightly, the heavens and the earth began to light up, and on the walls of the city of Bukhara, the capital of the Bukhara, the king of the Bukhara, Abdullah? Aziz looked at the 100,000 combined troops of the Uzbek tribes besieging the city and at least 500,000 Japanese coerced troops attacking the city, he was worried and didn't know what to do, the city was already bleeding, and the 200,000 troops on the city had already killed and wounded more than 20,000 people
Baoke Masayuki looked at the city wall in front of him, frowning, more than 40,000 of the 500,000 Japanese army has died under the city, and there are thousands of wounded, the city of Bukhara is also strong enough, dozens of cannons have not opened a gap for ten days, and the city wall is too strong Now the commander of Sakai Tadashi Masashi has 1.5 million Japanese soldiers and 300,000 Korean soldiers robbing people everywhere in Bukhara, what they don't know is that now their own country is being robbed by their own masters, However, the Ming Empire strictly sealed the news, and they naturally didn't know about these things, but even if they knew, most of the Japanese people threatened the military high-level and didn't take it seriously, after all, they had money, property and women, and they followed the Ming Empire to eat and drink spicy food, and naturally they didn't care what happened to the Japanese people
Kharbek was the leader of the Uzbek tribal alliance army, and his troops signed a treaty with Sakai Tadakatsu, the commander of the Ming Empire's Ukra Khanate Army, and they agreed that after the two armies jointly occupied and defeated the Bukhara Khanate, the Ming Empire would support the Uzbek tribes to establish their own state, so he led the army together with the Uzuk Wagon army with the King of the Bukhara Khanate, Abdullah? Aziz's army fought
Khalbek walked up to Masayuki Hoshina and said, "General Masayuki Hoshina, since our artillery is relatively small, our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, it is better to wait for General Tadashi Sakai to come and concentrate all the artillery to bombard the opponent to reduce casualties."
"No" Baoke Masayuk glanced at Halbek coldly, and thought to himself, hum, finished beating Abdullah? Aziz, it's your turn, if you don't destroy your Uzbek clans, I won't be a good general of the Ming Empire
Bao Ke Masayuki thought in his heart naturally he couldn't say it, he said: "Yesterday I almost rushed to the city wall, just a little bit, today I am ready to let more than 400,000 soldiers of our army all attack the city, if you are sincere, act with us, I don't believe it, we can't take this city to capture the city, how about we loot together, we have a share of treasures and beautiful women"
After Baoke Masayuki finished speaking, Halbek was a little moved when he heard it, and he said: "Okay, let's attack the city together, and loot the bubble book together_)" Halbek thought: Hmph, we will run behind your army when the time comes, so that we will have fewer losses and still get benefits
Bao Ke Masayuki didn't care about whether he contributed or not, anyway, it was the target he wanted to eliminate, what he was worried about now was his own military exploits, the credit for capturing the enemy's capital was not small, and he wanted to get this credit, so he desperately let the Japanese soldiers fight upward
"Rush", "Rush into the city to loot the city", "Kill", "Rush in, there is a beautiful woman" Countless shouts sounded in the rumbling cannons, forming a note that made the Japanese people excited
The Japanese army began to charge on all fronts, Baoke Masayuki watched the battle with binoculars, 440,000 people rushed to the city wall from all directions, under the cover of artillery fire and the suppression of 10,000 flintlock musketeers, countless Japanese soldiers climbed the ladder and rushed to the city wall
Halbek led their more than 90,000 tribal warriors behind the ass of the Japanese army, waiting for the Japanese army to take the lead
The warriors of the Bukhara Khanate raised their swords and slashed at the Japanese who climbed up, but many of them were shot by the musketeers below, and the Japanese warriors who rushed forward were also fearless of death and fought desperately with the warriors of the Bukhara Khanate
Under the cover of artillery and musketeers, a large number of Japanese warriors finally rushed to the city wall, and there were five or six places on the city wall that were broken open by the Japanese warriors, and the soldiers of the Bukhara Khanate were beaten back, and seeing that there were more and more Japanese soldiers who climbed the city, and seeing that they were cheap and could be picked up, Harbek led their more than 90,000 Uzbek clan warriors to follow the Japanese army to climb the city, and also began to rush up the city wall to fight
"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish, all for me to withstand, withstand" Abdullah, the king of the Bukhara Khanate, who personally supervised the war? Aziz shouted, but found that he could not withstand the attack of the Japanese army, and he was disappointed to see more and more soldiers of the Japanese army rushing to the city wall, mixed with many Uzbek clan warriors
"Big fish, a big fish" Several Japanese soldiers found King Abdullah under the protection of the guards of the Bukhara Khanate? Aziz, seeing the gorgeous costume, knew that he was an important person, and they rushed up one after another, wanting to cut down this Abdullah? Aziz's head, as long as he cuts off the head of this high official, he can not only get a reward of at least fifty silver coins, but also upgrade to a well-paid and safe musketeer
Seeing more and more Japanese troops and Uzbek clan warriors rushing into the city, and many Japanese soldiers began to storm the city gates in an attempt to open them to protect Abdullah? The chief of Aziz's guard said: "Your Majesty, we retreat quickly, the enemy has already attacked the city" Abdullah? Aziz was slightly stunned, and then said: "We retreat to the Forbidden City of Alka"
The circumference of the Arka Forbidden City Wall is 780 meters, the wall is 11 meters high and 4 meters wide, and there are toothed perforations in the wall What is now Abdullah? Aziz had the last barrier, he gathered tens of thousands of soldiers to retreat to the Arka Forbidden City, he also had more than 500 musketeers, and thousands of archers, tightly defended the Arka Forbidden City, when the Japanese coerced the army to the Arka Forbidden City, they were immediately blocked by musketeers and archers
After the army rushed into the city, Masayuki Hoshina immediately mobilized musketeers and artillery into the city to prepare for an attack on the Arka Forbidden City
At this time, all the warriors of the Uzbek clan plundered everywhere, and they did not come to attack the Arka Forbidden City at all
"The king who killed them will be rewarded with a thousand silver coins and promoted to the third rank," Hoshina Masayuki shouted, and the Japanese soldiers below immediately shouted as well
Under the command of Masayuki Baoke, the artillery unit began to bombard the eleven-meter-high city walls, and the musketeers below also shot at the enemies on the city, but Abdullah? Most of Aziz's soldiers were safe from the firing holes, covered by thick walls, but many of the Japanese musketeers they shot were killed
"Boom the gate, bang the gate for me," Masayuki Baoke pulled out his sword and shouted to command the artillery, all of which were aimed at the gate
Under the bombardment of dozens of shells, the gates of the Arka Forbidden City were cracked, and the gates of the Arka Forbidden City were blasted open
"Kill" There was no need for Baoke Masayuki to shout, and all the soldiers of the Japanese army rushed in from the cracks in the ruins of the city gate
Seeing countless Japanese soldiers killed in the army, Abdullah? Aziz was frightened, he shouted: "I surrender, I surrender", but how did the Japanese know what he was shouting, they could not understand at all, and a few Japanese warriors with spears came up and stabbed him with several bloody holes in his body with a spear, and a Japanese soldier with a katana came and cut off his head
Khalbek was taking thousands of Uzbek clan warriors under his command to loot and was happily plundering, when suddenly dozens of Uzbek clan warriors covered in blood ran in, and they shouted: "Chief, the leader is not good, the Japanese suddenly killed our people, and many of our people were killed unexpectedly, and only a few of us survived of more than 3,000 of us, woo woo" A warrior of the Uzbek clan said as he remembered that many brothers had been killed, and cried
"What?" Halbek, who was clutching a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuables in his hands and smiling all over his face, suddenly turned into shock and anger when he heard this, and he didn't ask what was going on with these dozens of soldiers, but when he heard that there was already a fight outside, shouts of killing continued, and gunshots also rang out
"What's going on?" Khalbek hurriedly ran out with the people in the house, and he saw countless Japanese soldiers outside surrounding their men and attacking the people who slaughtered them, "What are you going to do? Where did General Masayuki Hoshina go? We are allies, why are they attacking us? Halbek shouted
"It's you who kill, our Ming Empire wants to occupy the entire Bukhara, how can we let you build a country? Not only that, but all of your tribes will all be dead or slaves, and Commander Sakai Tadakatsu has led a large army to bulldoze all your tribes, what do you think our 1.8 million army is going to do? Hahaha, you also die" In the Japanese army, Masayuki Hoshina laughed and shouted: "Kill them"
Khalbek and his soldiers are only a few thousand people, and the other tribal warriors are also scattered in the city to loot, it is estimated that they are also more auspicious, Halbek roared: "Despicable, shameless, not reputable, I fought with you" shouted and rushed up with his subordinate soldiers, although they were all extremely brave, but surrounded by tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, and there were a large number of musketeers in the Japanese army, and after a while, the soldiers under Harbek were killed and wounded, Khalbek, covered in blood, was also shot indiscriminately
In the darkness before dawn, on the border between the Bukhara Khanate and the Turkmen and Siva Khanates, the mighty and boundless fire dragon long queue meandered forward for dozens of miles, the darkness gradually disappeared, the torches were extinguished one by one, but the dawn gradually showed the purple, blue, blue and green, the rising sun revealed that the first particle had never seen this bright red so red; I had never seen this bright red so fresh, and in an instant, the fireball soared into the air; The light and shadow reflected in the colorful glow at the gaze have changed in a thousand ways; Space shoots down a hundred pillars of light...... It's dawn
A great war was imminent, but on the horse, the commander of the five-nation alliance of the Khiva Khanate, the king of the Khiva Khanate, seemed to be very relaxed, because the huge army behind him was not only the army of the Khiva Khanate, but also the Turkmen state and the alliance from the powerful Persian and Ottoman empires in the west, as well as the distant Arab states of Oman, because he was the king of the Khiva Khanate, which was the closest to Bukhara, plus his people were familiar with the terrain here, so nominally he was the commander of the coalition army, of course, The armies of other countries only listen to him in the general direction of the advance and attack of the coalition forces, everything else is negotiated, and he cannot command the armies of those countries
Turkmenistan is a relatively weak country, and his army is actually weaker than the Khiva Khanate, but although he is hostile to the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate, they still know the power of the other party in the face of the powerful army of the Ming Empire, which can obviously annex all the nearby countries, and they also know the truth of cold lips and teeth, so they immediately sent troops
As a powerful country in Central Asia, the Persian Empire naturally knew the news that its neighbor, the also powerful Mughal Empire, was completely occupied by the army of the Ming Empire, and more than 2 million troops of the Ming Empire broke into the Bukhara Khanate, which made the royal family and ministers and nobles in the Persian Empire very frightened, and they immediately gathered men and horses to prepare to confront the army of the Ming Empire
The Ottoman Empire had just experienced a war with Europe and was defeated, and the domestic situation was gradually unstable, but at this time, a large number of Chinese imperial ** teams with powerful and advanced musket troops that destroyed the Russian Empire appeared at the junction of the northeast and the already greedy Russian Empire, so that their great Ottoman Empire lost a large area of territory by surprise, and the Ming Empire's troops did not matter if such an attack made the Ottoman Empire not only defeated by the Austro-Hungarian army, And under the joint attack of a large number of rebel armies, even Greece was restored, and the Ottoman Empire, which was fighting on all sides, had to retreat again and again, losing a large area of European territory, so that the Third Army of the Ming Empire took a big advantage, and gained a large area of land on the Black Sea coast that belonged to the Ottoman Empire without a few battles and no obstacles. The Ottoman Empire could only raise troops from Africa and West Asia to prepare for a war with the army of the Ming Empire, when they learned that the Persian Empire and Turkmenistan and the Khiva Khanate were going to join forces to destroy the army of the Ming Empire when they were going to take advantage of the Ming Empire's army of more than 2 million troops to attack Bukhara, so they also united with the Persian Empire and the Turkmen and Khiva Khanate, and they sent troops to Persia to enter the territory of the Turkmen and Khiva Khanate, and the armies of several countries were ready to unite against the army of the Ming Empire
As soon as the Portuguese colonial army that controlled Oman left, Persia took control of the country, and now this country belongs to the subject state of Persia, due to the plundering and colonization of the coast of Central and Western Asia by the navy of the Ming Empire, the capital of Oman, Muscat, as well as the Citadel of Mirani and Jalali and Salalah, were occupied by the Fourth Naval Fleet of the Ming Empire and their marines, both for Oman itself and for the suzerainty of Persia, Oman also dispatched all the troops that could be gathered in the country to cooperate with the Persian army to expedition against the Ming Empire in Bukhara and the Korean coercive army

At the beginning of the reign of Muhammad in 1602~1623, the Russian Cossacks fled to Urgench* twice and were annihilated by the Khiva people In 1622, Prince Irbars and others rebelled, Khan was deposed, and his eyes were gouged out, and a long period of royal infighting and fierce struggle between the Uzbeks and Turkmens began
"Turkmenistan" means "Turkic region", and the ancestors of Turkmenistan can be traced back to the ancient Iranian-speaking Daha? Massagait, Sarmat? Around the 5th century, the Alans and some of the inhabitants of the ancient countries of Marchiana and Khorezm were incorporated into the steppe areas along the Caspian Sea and later the Oghuz people

This time, the king of the Khiva Khanate, Abkhazi, mobilized all the troops of the whole country of the Khiva Khanate, and almost conscripted all the young and middle-aged people in the country to enter the army, and established an army of 700,000 at once, and the Turkmen State also knew that this war could not hide its own interests, and also mobilized all the 300,000 troops in the country, and the powerful Persian Empire directly raised all the troops in the country except for a small number of troops on the border with the Ottoman Empire and the army in the northwest of the Black Sea and the border between the original Russia and the current Ming Empire. The Ottoman Empire also sent a huge army of 300,000 troops to deal with the Ming Empire's Japanese and Korean coercions, and Oman from the Arab countries also raised 100,000 strong men to the front
The combined forces of the Five Nations Alliance have as many as 2.2 million troops, which can be said to be the largest number of troops that can be gathered in the world except for the Ming Empire
Sakai Tadashi led an army of more than 800,000 people to escort rich property, materials and more than 500,000 young or juvenile male and female slaves into Bukhara, and Hou Yongxi, commander of the Fifth Army of the Ming Empire, who led the Fourth Army of the Tokyo Military Region into Bukhara, also changed into military uniforms, and the commander of the Fourth Army beside him, Meng Yachang, also came to greet Sakai Tadakatsu together with Hoshina Masayuki
Hou Yongxi ordered the army to put the supplies into the warehouse, and rewarded the goods and coins that had been rewarded to the Japanese people, and then the more than 500,000 slaves were escorted by the second division of the Fourth Army to the Xinjiang Blog Seri without rest, where there were cars that could transport these slaves to the places where the whole country needed them
After doing these things, Hou Yongxi asked the quartermaster, "What about the sugar that you brought to the Japanese brothers' troops?" The quartermaster said: "In the hall, I got up early and let people move in" The Chinese have a long history of making sugar, and there are two kinds of sugar at the earliest: one is honey; One is that maltose was called a lot of maltose in ancient times, such as gluttony, syrup, shop, rice, etc., the white sugar at this time was extracted from sugarcane, and the sugarcane sugar made by people in ancient times was coarse and astringent, so in ancient China, people loved honey and maltose, the price of these two kinds of sugar is high but the Chinese civilization has a long history, the Chinese, especially the Han people, are very shrewd, they take sugarcane and squeeze the juice with a stone mill and then put the sugar and lime in the water tank and stir it, mix well, and then filter the sugar water with lime with gauze after filtering it again. A lot of rough fibers in the original sugar cube have been removed, and then heated with a furnace, after several processing and filtration, the brown sugar will come out, and then all the brown sugar is poured into the water tank, and poured into the water, mix well, and put the crushed charcoal into the water After a day, it is heated, evaporated, cooled, and the white sugar came out, and then people dissolved this white sugar, and the kernel and fruit juice coagulated substances are organized together, and then wrapped into small sugar with vegetable oil-soaked oil paper, it becomes the candy that people eat now, The candy at this time is pure natural and pollution-free compared to the messy candy of the future era where Li Long is located
In the future era where Li Long lived, chocolate was a product designated by the military, and some athletes often ate chocolate to replenish their energy, especially for swimming
Before the founding of the Ming Empire, Li Long ordered the regular army to ration candy and other things, which would allow soldiers to ensure strong combat effectiveness and endurance even when they were hungry
Because the Japanese army never belonged to the regular army, they never enjoyed the rationing of candy, and now they quickly conquered Bukhara and established outstanding achievements, and Li Long personally ordered Hou Yongxi to distribute candy to the troops of the Japanese army and the Korean army
A few people entered the hall of the palace in Bukhara, Sakai Tadashi and several Japanese generals under his command saw the countless large boxes at a glance, which were wrapped in small sugar cubes Sakai Tadashi immediately called the soldiers, and Hou Yongxi, Meng Yachang and Baoke Masayuki set off together with the guards, they successively went to each 10,000-person division to distribute candy, and gave condolences to the soldiers of the Japanese army who were restingSakai Tadasheng and Hou Yongxi personally gave five candies to each of the Japanese soldiers, let them eat, and give them sugar, Let them fill their small steel kettles with tea
The morale of the soldiers of the Wajin Shogunate was very high, and their current life was far from that when they were soldiers for the daimyo of the feudal towns, they couldn't even eat enough, even if they were the best-paid shogunate elites of that era, when it came to the pure income of the soldiers, they couldn't hold their heads up in front of these Japanese soldiers now
Along the way, Sakai Tadashi sighed with emotion: "I think we spend too much money on the soldiers, some of which are unnecessary, and they can also get a lot of the property they loot by themselves" Hou Yongxi looked back and said with a smile: "Then what expenses are we going to cancel, is it their weapons, military armor, or their salaries and utensils?" ”
The cost of a Japanese coercion soldier is not to mention that compared to the expensive regular army of the Chinese Emperor, that is, compared to the armies of other countries, it is also a relatively low amount of money from the Ming Empire, in addition to the construction of the country, education and the improvement of the lives of civilians, almost most of the rest are thrown into the army, but for these coerced soldiers, it is far worse, a low-level regular army soldier, they will have three sets of underwear in spring, summer and winter, they have two sets of underwear a year, and they will be issued once every two years. There is also a tweed uniform and a felt cloth jacket, in addition to weapons, most of the regular army soldiers will have a dagger, a military thorn, an advanced rifle with a magazine, and they will also have two magazines and a large number of bullets, and they also have helmets and tactical vests to put down, a soldier costs about ten silver coins a year
With the damage of a large number of firefighters and bullets can not be equipped and abandoned, only about 50,000 soldiers are using arquebuses, and 10,000 soldiers are using flintlock pistols, only some black powder and arquebuses and flintlock bullets are used, and on average, a Japanese soldier can not even use a silver coin a year
Sakai Tadashi smiled and did not answer Hou Yongxi's question, and Masayuki Hoshina interjected with a smile: "There are really a lot of people in this country, and we have captured millions of slaves of young and strong young men before and after, hehe"
Hearing his words, Hou Yongxi's heart was tight, although the general fleet of the Navy and the First Army of the Sixth Army were very secret to the outside world, but as the commander of the Fifth Army, he also got some heard, but he was afraid that these generals of the Japanese army would know about this matter before the troops of the Japanese army and the Five Nations Alliance Army were exhausted. Led the five-nation alliance to fight against the Ming Empire, the 700,000 army of the Khiva Khanate, the 300,000 army of the Turkmen State, the 800,000 army of the Persian Empire, the 300,000 army of the Ottoman Empire and the 100,000 army of Oman came to Bukhara, the total of the coalition army was as many as 220,000 troops, an unprecedentedly large army, in order to reduce the casualties of the regular army, Li Long ordered Hou Yongxi to personally come here to command the battle, let the Japanese and the alliance army fight to the death, consume the number of the two armies, and let the Ming Empire reduce the threat
After several people expressed their condolences to the soldiers of the Japanese army, Hou Yongxi, Busy Tooth Chief, Sakai Tadakatsu and Hoshina Masayuki entered the palace hall, Hou Yongxi smiled and said to Sakai Tadakatsu and Hoshina Masayuki: "I came this time, one is to get the order of Commander-in-Chief Li to command you in the next battle, and the other purpose is to award you the meritorious medal awarded to you by Commander-in-Chief Li."
As he spoke, Hou Yongxi took out an order conferring the rank of lieutenant general on Sakai Tadakatsu and the rank of deputy chief commander of the army major general of Hoshina Masashi, and he also took out two sets of general uniforms and gave them to the two of them
Sakai Tadashi and Hoshina Masanuki said with gratitude: "Obey the orders of the empire, be loyal to the command of the empire, for the glory of the empire, we will go to the soup and die without giving up" Their hearts finally fell, they did not have a formal military rank before, but now they finally have a formal imperial title, they have changed from a Japanese military officer to a formal general of the Ming Empire
