Chapter 588: Edo Shogunate

Japan's culture of shame originated in China, and surrender is shameful, but it is also necessary to divide the target. For example, if the Americans come and drop two atomic bombs, Japan will be very well-behaved. Immediately knelt down, 360 degrees, no dead ends in all directions, kneeling and licking the American emperor in tricks. To put it bluntly, what shame culture is, in fact, it is underbeaten. Before the atomic bomb was dropped, 100 million Japanese people were threatened to break jade, but in the end, the jade shattered in front of the atomic bomb, and they completely forgot about it, and there was no such thing.

Chen Xie went ashore, the time was not early, and the sun was slanting fiercely. Zong Yizhen knelt on the shore with a group of subordinates, didn't dare to raise his head at all, and shouted loudly: "Zong Yizhen, a junior minister of the foreign domain, has seen the Lord of the Ming Dynasty." "Objectively speaking, for a long time, China has been in the same rhythm in the eyes of Japan as Japan is now looking at US imperialism. After the defeat of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Tokugawa shogunate directly played the policy of closing the country to the outside world. In the face of the Ming Dynasty, there is still not much courage to fight. After all, in the impression of the Japanese, the Ming Dynasty is very large, there are many people, and the country is very strong. The population is more than that of Japan, I don't know how many Ming Dynasty, who knows how many heroes and heroes will be produced.

Chen Xie tilted his head, looked at Zong Yizhen kneeling on the ground, and the peasants kneeling in the barbed wire circle, and said to Su Haochen with satisfaction: "Good job, let him get up, for the sake of his surrender, spare him from death." By the way, remember to tell him that Tsushima will be under the jurisdiction of the Korean State in the future, and if you are willing to stay, then stay. He didn't want to stay, so he took his people back to Japan. ”

This kind of arrogance and complete disregard for the true existence of the sect is taken for granted in everyone's eyes. The so-called castle of the Tsushima Domain, what pills and the like, are actually a strengthened version of a small turret. Chen Xie disdained to enter the town of Yanyuan, and directly set up camp outside and let the North Koreans take over the town.

Surrendered Zong Yizhen. He was treated well, and there was a tent for him and his family to live in, but the rest of the people were not so lucky, and they all had to work and unload their goods on the docks overnight. Tsushima as a springboard, the greatest benefit. is to allow North Korea to provide grain and grass, and Chen Xie can save a lot of trouble.

North Korea mainly provides meat, rice and vegetables and the like, and Chen Xie can't look down on anything else, just to get a fresh meat dish, and the officers and soldiers who eat luncheon meat + biscuits all want to vomit when they see this thing.

The Japanese on the island were initially uneasy, but soon found that things were not what they had thought. There is no so-called Ming officers and soldiers in sight. All the people who came were Korean sticks, and they stormed the town, and the robbery began. To say that this ruthlessness, the North Korean soldiers are more than the Ming officers and soldiers, especially when it comes to grabbing things.

On this night, the Japanese people in the town, who were not seen by the Ming soldiers, were tossed by the Korean soldiers all night. All hit the big deals, merchants. None of them were spared, and all of them were looted. throughout the process. More than 100 people were killed by indiscriminate shooting, and more than 30 North Korean soldiers were killed or wounded. It is said that there are hundreds of women who have been forced X, and because it is said, there is no then.

At dawn, Chen Xie got up. He could have spent the night comfortably on the standing boat, but he didn't choose to do so. Every time he went out on an expedition, Chen Xie lived with the soldiers. The only difference is that the tent is a little bigger, and there are a few North Korean girls waiting around you.

When I am familiar. This guy Li Shu came to ask to see him, his face was full of flattering smiles, and his eyes were full of awe. Even if he was blocked by a few soldiers outside the barbed wire fence outside the camp, he was not angry at all, and explained to the officer at the sentry post in a Ming official dialect: "A few Japanese women, who are good-looking, are very good at serving people, and they are specially reserved for the cabinet lords." ”

Chen Xie really couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, this bastard is afraid of death in battle, but he is a good hand at patting sycophants. Dressed neatly, he glanced at the so-called Japanese women, and immediately burst out laughing. How many are these, this is obviously more than a hundred, okay, you don't know how to count. It is estimated that the women in Yanyuan Town, who are a little better, between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, have been left by him and specially sent over for them to choose first. Frankly speaking, Chen Xie deeply admired this guy's shamelessness.

During this period, Japan was no longer the so-called black tooth country. Dongying women are characterized by delicate skin, and there are naturally many shortcomings, short legs, walking circles, etc. Chen Xie basically doesn't have much interest in Japanese women in this era. Lao Qian worked hard to get a few of the best products, and asked Zhu Cihong to get them.

"Alright, let him go back, I don't have the heart to do that now." Chen Xie didn't even let him in, and he wasn't Li Liang, so there was no need to give him face. Li Liang, this guy is still floating on the sea, and it is said that it will take a few days to hold a recovery ceremony before he officially lands on the island. Chen Xie didn't care about this matter, he was concerned that the water of the Tsushima Canal was too shallow, and he couldn't cross the warship, so he had to go around the island to get to the dock opposite. In this way, there was a two-day delay, which happened to give the infantry two days of rest. The comparison is okay, the infantry is earned.

While Chen Xie was waiting for a steady stream of munitions to arrive on Tsushima Island, the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo was meeting to discuss how to deal with the menacing Ming and Korean coalition forces. In the current Edo shogunate, the shogun is the third-generation Tokugawa Iemitsu. At this time, his father Xiuzhong also set up a big palace, and the general and the big palace ruled the world together, also known as the dual government.

What does that mean? It is the current Edo shogunate, and there are two sets of leadership groups. Let's discuss what is going on. At this time, the Japanese Emperor Mizuo was actually a puppet. The so-called emperor of Japan is not a puppet for a period of time, but a puppet for a long time. The general went to see the emperor, and it was called "Kamiraku", which is a saying that gray is often high.

When there were no foreign enemies, there was not much problem with the rule of the shogunate, and anyway, between the Great Imperial Palace and the Great Shogun, the compromise between the government could still make do. As soon as Hidetada died, Tokugawa Iemitsu changed his face, established the system of Laochu, Wakanen, Shogun, and Ometsu, and designated the current shogun of the shogunate as the supreme authority. This system, in the historical Edo shogunate system, is basically formed. The power is concentrated in the hands of the general, and everything is up to him. As for the emperor, if he is happy, he will give three melons and two dates. Not happy, hum!

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu was at a time when his power was monstrous, and he completed the shogunate system and monopolized the interests of Nagasaki's foreign trade. When life reaches its peak, it will naturally swell. What happened in Nagasaki, he really didn't take it too seriously, didn't he just kill a few people? Go back and lose a few bucks, give the merchant a little benefit, and the matter will be over. The people of the Ming Dynasty want to save face, give him some face and benefits, and things are easy to handle. But then a large number of Chinese merchants left one after another and did not come back, he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, and there was no chance to save the relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

When the messenger of the Tsushima clan arrived, Tokugawa Iemitsu took it very seriously, and immediately called a meeting of important subordinates to discuss whether or not to reinforce Tsushima Island, and the conclusion was obvious, everyone was against reinforcements. Crossing the sea to fight is actually a very annoying thing. First of all, you have to have enough boats and all kinds of military supplies. If you have this time to reinforce, it is better to prepare for war in the Edo generation, wait for the coalition to arrive, and meet the attack. This is the mainstream opinion at the meeting, and no one really cares too much about Ma Fan's life or death.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also felt that it was very reasonable, and the meeting decided on the battle strategy, began to prepare the army, mobilized men, and prepared for war in the Edo generation. At the same time, he sent people to Nagasaki to ask the Dutch for help, and asked if they could buy some cannons and other handy guys.

During the period of Japan's lockdown, the Netherlands and the Ming Dynasty were the only two countries that could trade with Japan, and the Netherlands at this time in the Sea of Japan and the East Indies was not the most awesome period. They had already received news that Chen Xie, the Minister of War and Minister of the Navy of the Ming Dynasty, was going to wage a war of retaliation against Japan. In order to achieve the goal of friendly peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, John, who lived in Borneo, had already sent someone to deliver the news that he must not agree to any form of assistance agreement with Japan. On this sea, I can't afford to offend Daming.

The messenger of the shogunate naturally ran away, and he didn't buy a low-grade arquebus. Not to mention the cannons, none of this thing was left. The news was very disappointing, and Tokugawa Iemitsu had to prepare his men for an anti-landing operation, and it would be unrealistic to say that there was any dangerous terrain in this part of Edo. Japan is surrounded by the sea, so you can land anywhere. It is only possible to prepare forces and react according to the actions of the adversary, and targeted defense is unrealistic.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was in full swing preparing for battle, while Chen Xie's side was resting slowly. The North Koreans were a bit slow, and it took about three days to deliver military supplies to prepare enough rations for the coalition forces. There's no way, so I'll have to wait, anyway, Chen Xie is not in a hurry about this matter.

On the third day after landing on Tsushima, the fleet came in circles, and after anchoring, the navy began to rest. Although the efficiency of the allies was a bit low, Chen Xie decided to endure it. After all, after taking over the Tsushima Domain, they immediately presented the silver mine that Zongyi Zhen had worked so hard to develop, saying that it was a little meaning for Master Chen to drink tea.

Chen Xie naturally laughed, who doesn't like silver mines. The more the merrier! It took five days to get all the supplies to Tsushima, and the army boarded again, and the target was naturally Edo. But this time, Chen Xie didn't let the North Korean army play the vanguard, these grandsons were too unreliable, so they let them watch the supplies of Tsushima in the back, so Chen Xie was not at ease, he didn't bring the two A-shaped battalions, and he took the fleet to go first and see the situation. It's not too far anyway, so let's get acquainted with it first. (To be continued......)
