25Outwit Nijo Castle

The Ming army, led by Li Long, bypassed Tango Castle at midnight and passed through Tango's Town. Then we arrived at Kyonomachi,...... Five miles southwest of Kyoto Town is Kyoto Castle.

Japanese castles are very different from Chinese castles, which are a complex of castles and cities, with long walls guarding the city and residential areas. In Japan, however, castles were separated from each other, and they were originally only military fortresses for the purpose of stationing troops, but in the Heian period, the samurai class began to rise, and the concept of "castle" arose in addition to the "palaces" and "halls" where civilian officials lived.

In the beginning, the castle consisted of just a few houses, and it was a big deal to build a fence made of wood and bamboo, but after 1370, due to military needs, the concept of "castle" began to be approached to the concept of "castle", and stone walls began to appear, and then military facilities such as guard towers appeared.

Around 1430, the first truly authentic castle appeared in Omi, and it was a complete military fortress with castle walls, gates, and castle towers. Since the Japanese army was all peasants, there were only a few standing troops (usually a few dozen), and most of the peasants lived in the nearby villages, while the cities were inhabited by samurai and their families.

In the case of Osaka, a famous city in Japan, the castle wall is more than 5,000 meters long, and there are 6 watchtowers (Maru) built in it, and there is a 6-story castle tower (Honmaru), where Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his wives live in it.

During the Warring States period, there were probably more than 10,000 "castles" in Japan, which is amazing, right? In fact, most of the castles are made of wood, but they are only samurai houses in the original sense, and there are about 200 castles in the real sense, and the more famous ones are Osaka, Nijo, Odawara, Edo, etc., and these castles will appear one by one in the story of a later date

Nijo Castle is the site of Kyoto, but the Emperor of Japan does not live in Kyoto Castle, but in Kyonomachi. That is, a market without walls.

On this day, fifteen young people came to the town of Kyoto, the buildings imitating the Tang Dynasty are everywhere here, the style of octagonal glazed tiles, in front of which is a wine shop, the two words of the wine shop written in Chinese characters are known to these young people, and they are the special forces specially trained by Li Long, who came to the town of Beijing to carry out reconnaissance and arrest tasks.

First of all, they don't speak a word of Japanese, so when you enter a sake shop, you won't know how to inquire about where the emperor's palace is, and Kyonomachi is huge. It is 5,000 meters long and 5,000 kilometers wide. Blacksmiths, masons, teahouses, leisure clubs, brothels, shops, horse farms, grain shops, cloth shops, and so on are all in sight. It's just that the generals' houses are generally in Nijo Castle, and there is only one imperial palace in Kyonocho.

The fifteen men searched for most of the day in the crowd of people in Kyonocho, and finally came across a huge mansion near a lake. There are Japanese soldiers standing guard at the gate, and there are several characters written in Japanese on the gate, but one of them is the Chinese character "palace"

After confirming that this was the Imperial Palace, these fifteen people lay in ambush around the Imperial Palace, just so that when the army arrived tomorrow night, they heard the sound of siege gunfire, and they cooperated with the army to take the Japanese emperor as a hostage.

Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi has the final say in Japan, nominally Shanghai is the world of the Japanese emperor, and even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi is his official position, his official position is only the emperor's general. The emperor had royalists, such as Tokugawa Ieyasu. Now Li Long only has more than 6,000 people to fight, and there are simply not enough troops to be stationed in Japan, if he can control this puppet emperor, it will be of great help to control the whole of Japan in the future.

On the evening of the same day, an army of 6,000 was encamped ten kilometers away, not moving forward. Yang Dali has already taken people to Jingzhimachi, and now there are Zhang Cheng and Chen Jixiang leading the team. Li Long is gone, and five members of the special combat team are missing.

Outside Nijo Castle, at the time of the third watch, it was the most exhausting time of the day, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi and a group of shogunate generals had already fallen asleep, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's residence was originally in Osaka. It's a pity that I can only live in Nijo Castle now.

Five masked people dressed in black, their heads wrapped in black cloth sneaked into the city of Nijo, at this time the guards guarding the city of Nijo also reached the most tired time, the leader of the five is Li Long, as well as Hu Biao and Hu Ben, two brothers of Wu Suo Wu Ming, Hu Biao Hu Ben was originally a martial arts person, a young martial arts, a golden bell cover, an iron cloth shirt is all fine, and he has learned a good light skill, and Wu Suo Wu Ming is born in the circus, and he is good at raising the pole. Walk the barbed.

Nijo Castle is the main castle of Kyonocho and the main city of the whole of Japan, with a wall of 11 meters high, and it is now home to many warriors in Nijo Castle, the most important of which is that there is Toyotomi Hideyoshi inside.

Li Long and the five people carried a six-meter-long bamboo pole, Wu Suo held the bamboo pole and took a few steps back, and suddenly began to run, only to see him insert the front end of the bamboo pole into the ground, and the whole body jumped up with the bamboo pole, and reached the top of the bamboo pole silently. Then the noon rope is still under a rope, Hu Biao is light and high, catch the rope, pull gently, Hu Biao is like a flying swallow, go straight to the bamboo pole of the noon rope. After Hu Biao reached the top of the bamboo pole, he took out a three-inch-long dagger from his waist, stepped on the shoulder of the noon rope and jumped lightly, and then jumped up three meters again. Hu Biao's dagger was inserted into the crack in the wall after the body reached the highest point, and the whole body hung in the air at a height of nine meters, and then he took out a dagger in his left hand, and inserted a dagger into the crack in the wall with one hand and climbed the eleven-meter-high city wall with the arm strength of both hands.

There was a platoon of Japanese soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, Hu Biao lowered the rope he was carrying from the city wall, and Hu Ben, who was as light as a swallow, went straight up like an elevator and soon climbed to the top of the city tower. Then Li Long and Wu Suo also climbed up the city tower one by one.

Li Long was the last to climb up, and it just so happened that the city wall they chose was relatively remote, and there were no soldiers patrolling this side.

"Do you remember your mission?" Li Long asked softly

"Don't worry, my lord, remember," the four replied in unison

"Okay, let's go"

At this time, Li Long bent down and sneaked along the side of the city wall by the arrow battlement, and when he encountered the Japanese soldiers patrolling, he lay on the ground of the city wall silently, and after taking the patrol soldiers over, he continued to go to the city gate duty room. After a while, he came to the castle tower of the duty room of the Japanese city gate, and Li Long sneaked in gently, and the guards inside were asleep. Li Long looked at the door, and sure enough, Little Japan was an imitation of the Tang Dynasty, and even the duty card was placed behind the city gate.

"Captain: Yagyu Senbei is on duty from the time of the hour to the time of the ugly, the captain: Kurokawa Ryutaro is on duty from the time of the ugly time to the time of the time, the captain: Jun Takeshita, the time of the duty is the time of the time of the ,,,," Li Long knew the Japanese, so he read it lightly in his heart. Look at the timer, it's almost past the sub-hour. Yagyu Senbei is coming back to change Kurokawa Ryutaro.

Li Long gently changed Kurokawa Ryutaro's brand with Takeshita Jun's, and then quietly slipped out.

In the duty room of the Japanese city gate, Yanagi Shibei came to the duty room with his team of twenty people and woke up Kurokawa Ryutaro: "Ryutaro, it's time for you to be on duty."

After Yanagi Senbei finished speaking, he didn't care whether Kurokawa heard it or not, and went straight back to his bed to sleep. Kurokawa Ryutaro opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Yagyu Senbei had gone to sleep, so he got up and went to duty, got dressed, took his saber and was about to call his team to get up, but when he looked at the duty card: Takeshita Jun's duty time is ugly to Yin, and Kurokawa Ryutaro's duty time is Yinshi.

"Eight grid Yalu, Yanagi Sang-kun, actually dare to coax Ben Taijun" Kurokawa Ryutaro scolded secretly, and did not wake up Takeshita Jun, so he took off his clothes and went to bed and continued to sleep.

Four watches, ugly, there was no defender on the west gate of the Japanese two city gates, Li Long changed the city tower duty card again, resulting in the Japanese soldiers for a whole hour will not be on duty, Hu Biao opened the city gate when the ugly time, Hu Ben shot a rocket in the direction of the Ming army in the sky. The rocket shot was only 200 meters, but the rocket fired into the sky from the top of the city tower was particularly dazzling.

In the Daming military camp, Zhang Cheng, Chen Jixiang and more than 6,500 soldiers had already been dressed neatly, and steel knives, iron spears, and spears were all ready. Suddenly, three rockets appeared in the sky in the distance. The sentry standing on the arrow tower immediately saw it and hurriedly shouted: "General Zhang, General Chen, General Li have succeeded." ”

Zhang Cheng, Chen Jixiang turned over and got on the horse, and shouted: "Let's go, when it's close to the city, shut up to Lao Tzu, dare to make a noise, cut!" ”

More than 6,500 soldiers all gave up their artillery and went into battle lightly, carrying bows and crossbows that were steel swords, muskets and spears. The army stretched for several miles, and the Ming army was stationed less than five miles away from Erjo City, and it was there in a moment.

In less than half an hour, the army arrived at the west gate of Nijo Castle, and the west gate opened. Li Long, Hu Biao, Hu Ben, Wu Suo, and Wu Ming were waiting at the city gate.

Although Zhang Cheng saw Li Long standing at the door, he did not dismount to say hello, and there was no need to be polite at the critical moment, and the task of the noon order was to reconnoiter the location of the Japanese military camp. Seeing Zhang Cheng at noon, Chen Jixiang arrived, so he said softly: "Two adults, please come with me." ”

The Japanese military camp in Nijo Castle was in the southwest of the city, all of them were duplex houses, and there were a few sentries chatting listlessly at the entrance of the barracks.

"It's August, why is it so cold, the weather in Japan is changeable," said the Japanese soldier

"Who's to say it's not, you see I'm wearing a jacket," said the Japanese soldier

"It's better for our brothers to drink two cups first, it's the fourth watch, and we can't rest until the fifth watch," said the Japanese soldier

At this time, Zhang Cheng and Chen Jixiang had already surrounded the entire military camp in two ways, and a thousand crossbowmen occupied two advantageous positions to prevent the reinforcements from being blocked when there were still enemies coming to reinforce them. The rest followed the two generals to the front of the barracks.

"Whoosh, whoosh" two bows and arrows were fired at the throats of Japanese soldiers A and Japanese B respectively, and the throats of the two Japanese soldiers were shot through, hugging the air, and they couldn't scream if they wanted to. The sword-wielding musketeers of the Ming army rushed over with short knives, cutting off their heads one by one.

Thirty members of the Special Operations Team bore the brunt of the killing, their steps were light, their methods were clean, and their moves were deadly. and the knife shall cut the throat. and if he is empty-handed, he will break his neck. The army followed behind the thirty special combat soldiers and slaughtered them to the dormitory of the Japanese military camp in one go.

Zhang Cheng ordered his soldiers: "Kill them all, don't leave them alive" Chen Jixiang ordered his soldiers: "Pikeman, block the gate of the barracks for me." The others come with me."

A bloody slaughter in August 1642 AD, occurred in Kyoto, Japan, a Ming army from the sky suddenly appeared in the Japanese soldiers' dormitory in Nijo Castle, stabbed the sleeping Japanese soldiers to death on the bed, fortunately did not be stabbed to death in the bed of the Japanese soldiers, in a panic, a headlong crashed into the five hundred pikemen blocked at the door, the Japanese soldiers who woke up in their sleep, unarmed, in addition to their private parts, there was no bit of fabric. When it hit the spear array, it was slaughtered like a pig last time.

Chen Jixiang led his musketeers, all holding bayonets to the bed of the Japanese soldiers, and at this time Zhang Cheng also killed in the same house and asked, "General Chen, where did you kill it?" ”

Chen Jixiang smiled happily: "Don't worry, you can't run a single one." I have arranged 500 super spearmen at the gate of the barracks, and as long as there is a fish that slips through the net, they will hit the spears, and not a single one of them can be can't be fired."

Zhang Cheng laughed: "Brother Chen is still smart, right Brother Chen." The chief soldier asked us to capture Toyotomi Hideyoshi alive, who is Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Where does he live? ”

Chen Jixiang explained: "Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the lord of the Japanese domain, he was the one who unified Japan, and now he is sending troops to attack Korea, and he should be in a certain compound in Nijo Castle."

Zhang Chengzheng said: "Such a bad person, you must not let him go." In this way, you and I will each arrange two thousand generals, lead 500 to 4 city gates, guard the four city gates, and not let a single soldier go out of the city, and then search for this person named Toyotomi Hideyoshi throughout the whole process."

Chen Jixiang said: "Okay, without further ado, let's go." This barracks is guarded by 500 super spearmen under my command, and not a single one of them can escape. Hurry up and get ...... going"

Li Long arrived at this time, took out a few blank pieces of paper and said: "Two generals, you haven't seen Toyotomi Hideyoshi, this is a portrait of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, you two must live him, you must not die"

It's dawn. Nijo Castle changed owners, and the Great Dragon Banner was raised at each gate of Nijo Castle, and hundreds of Ming soldiers guarded each gate, and the Japanese barracks were thrown into the barracks after Li Long was sure that there were no living people inside, and they were burned to the barracks. The fire burned until dawn. The 1.5 million people transferred by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the castle did not continue to resist after the fall of the castle. It's saying that they are also unarmed and unable to resist. They were all blocked in the concentration camps.

At this time, the square in the center of Nijo Castle was crowded with people, Li Long, Zhang Cheng, Chen Jixiang and more than a thousand soldiers who maintained law and order, and dozens of people knelt in this square. All dressed in kimonos, bald on their foreheads,

"Kuroda Rusui, Kuroda Kanwei, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa, Wasuka Masakatsu, Wasuka Housekei, Koizumi Junichiro" Li Long looked at the list of captured generals sent by Zhang Cheng on the side. Surprised why there was no Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Li Long strode up to the Japanese military general, looked at an older general and said in Japanese: "Tokugawa Shogun, I know you"

Tokugawa Ieyasu was originally going to go straight to Tango Castle with his 3,000 reinforcements, but he flew to report that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was going to shrink his forces to Nijo Castle to defend, so he gave up the calculation of going to Tango Castle and came to Nijo Castle to camp there.

Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "Since the general knows me, but I don't know the general, Japan and the Ming Dynasty have no enmity the day before yesterday, and no grudge today, why attack Japan?" ”

Li Long said with a smile: "More than 200 years later, Japan's strength will surpass that of the Ming Dynasty, and then Japan will invade the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will be enveloped in war." Nanjing, the capital of the southern part of the Great Dynasty, will be destroyed. The Nanjing Massacre of 30 adults was done by Japan, so General Ben took the lead in conquering Japan, turning Japan into a part of our Ming Dynasty, and setting up a political secretary here...... And I'm Li Long, the chief soldier of Shandong,"

Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't understand what Li Long meant, how could he know what happened three hundred years later, it was obviously a neurosis, and Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't pay attention to Li Long. Li Long, who provoked him, touched his nose with ash.

Li Long asked again, "Where is Toyotomi Hideyoshi?" ”

Li Long glanced at it with the afterglow of his eyes, and saw that he bowed his head and was silent, only that Junichiro Koizumi was very temperamental, and Li Long's eyes stayed on Koizumi, and said with a smile: "Yushiba Hideyoshi, monkey, aren't you going to call the noble Toyotomi Hideyoshi but Junichiro Koizumi?" ”

A Japanese overlord like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, of course, was a person who acted right and walked straight, and when the Ming army suddenly rushed in to arrest someone, a general persuaded him to change his name, but he didn't agree at first. Kuroda Kanbei used his own caesarean section to force him, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi agreed to temporarily change his name to Junichiro Koizumi. But now this Ming Shandong general soldier Li Long has recognized his true identity, and has to admit: "That's right, I am Toyotomi Hideyoshi"

Li Long smiled and said, "Japan and Korea both belong to the vassal kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi said: "Yes"

Li Long said again: "Why should Japan, as a courtier, rebel, you think."

Ukita Hideie was the marshal, Konishi Yukinaga, Kato Kiyomasa was the vanguard, and Kuki Yoshitaka was the commander of the navy, with 200,000 infantry, 9,000 sailors, and more than 700 warships, crossed the Korean Strait and landed on the front line of Busan and Gyeongju

After His Majesty (Li Long), Long Yan was furious and sent a special army to lead 20,000 treasure ships and 500,000 artillery pieces. A million soldiers came to crusade against Japan. I arrived at the Japanese battlefield first as a pioneer officer, and His Majesty appointed me as the political envoy of the Japanese political secretary to manage Japan, don't play tricks on me."

"You immediately order Shimazu and Hattori in Tango Castle to surrender immediately, otherwise the heavenly soldiers will arrive and no one will be left" Li Long ordered Toyotomi Hideyoshi

Toyotomi Hideyoshi muttered: "The political secretary was sealed by the Ming Emperor, and as the lord of the domain, I must see the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen in order to accept the lord of the political secretary, otherwise, it will still be an invasion." I, the samurai, will definitely resist to the end. ”

Li Long said: "Brother Toyotomi, regard practitioners as junjie, why bother.? Think back then, you cruelly burned your master, His Excellency Oda Nobunaga, to death in Honnoji Temple for your own rights, haven't you ever regretted it, he single-handedly promoted you to make you where you are today? Without Oda Nobunaga, you're still farming in your hometown of Kiyoshu, and you're ,,,,"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi interrupted Li Long's words: "Don't say it, my lord said this, it is nothing more than to touch the sadness in my heart, His Excellency Nobunaga has the grace of reinvention to me, but he is cruel and stupid, and he can't complete the story of unifying Japan at all, and he is also known as "The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven" by the world, I will get rid of him for the people" Li Long said about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's sore spot

Li Long said angrily: "Isn't it brutal enough for you to raise troops to invade Korea, won't more people die, if Toyotomi Hideyoshi is still stubborn, I have no choice but to carry out the order given to me by His Majesty and execute you."

Long

Finally, Toyotomi Hideyoshi spoke: "Okay, I accept you as the chief minister, but it doesn't mean that all of Japan accepts ,......"

"How's that?" Li Long asked

"Ishiyama Hongoji Temple, the Maori family, and the Edo people all have their own private soldiers, and they will definitely rebel," Toyotomi Hideyoshi said

Li Long laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay." I have a population of more than 200 million people, and I can immigrate here step by step, and then the whole of Japan will be able to speak Chinese. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was speechless, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to agree to be Li Long's courtier, and he didn't know what the fate of Japan was. I just hope that Ishiyama Honkoji, the Mori family, and the Edo family can work together to do something.
