Chapter 1093: The Emperor Is Coming
The Ming Dynasty has no major pressure in Central and North Asia, East Russia and South Asia, and all that is needed now is to exchange time for space, but it is indeed in Japan that it has encountered some troubles, and it is not too much to say that the Ming Dynasty's more than 300,000 troops have fallen into the quagmire of war.
Japan is still two-thirds left, and the northern part of Japan is mountainous, although there are only a few million people, but occupation and extinction are two concepts, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's original idea was to occupy and assimilate, after all, this nation is only a small nation, and later he overturned this idea.
In order to start the assimilation policy, and also because of some estrangement with Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan, he even really thought about not seeing Zhang Yan for the rest of his life, but now his thoughts have changed again, he can't stand the torment of missing, he has too many beauties, each of them is a national beauty in a thousand miles, but no matter who he is with, even the illegal control of the final thinking about Zhang Yan, that feeling is so sweet, so thorough!
Helicopter gunships arrived at the North Korean port, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen boarded the warship, and of course, the helicopter gunships were also carried.
Just when Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Ming Empire, went to Japan, the whole country set off a construction boom at the same time, and the entire inland center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty began to move north and south.
After five days of fatigue at sea, the warships of the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen arrived in Kyoto, where more than 20 infantry divisions and nearly 350,000 troops, including baggage troops, had gathered.
At this time, Japan was bounded by Kyoto, and two-thirds of the people were Japanese. The two islands below are completely owned by the people of the Ming Dynasty. Millions of people were requisitioned. These people have been living here for nearly five years, and it can be said that even if Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen wants to adopt a policy of gentleness and stop the bloody massacre of Japan, the Japanese will have almost no chance to remember it again.
However, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen didn't know why, he often couldn't help but have the idea of killing all the Japanese, because he watched too many historical films and movies in modern times. TV, novels, the damage done by the Japanese to the Chinese cannot be compensated for by dying a thousand times, and since the history of Japan, this wild dog-like nation has been annoying Great China!
In China's modern history, every major landslide of the Chinese nation is caused by Japan, and if it weren't for the fact that there is such a wild dog nation next to it, history would be completely reversed, after all, it is impossible for European powers to occupy China on a large scale, although economic aggression is also a kind of aggression. However, objectively it will also stimulate the growth rate of China's economy, a Sino-Japanese War. Directly knocked China into a land of no return!
Xu Fu crossed to the east, and the eunuchs of the Qin Dynasty actually went to Japan to give birth to a pack of wild dogs.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen finally felt that this pile of wild dogs should be killed, this time was originally the era of colonial expansion that had just begun to rise, it was originally a bloody and cruel era, he just replaced the role of other empires, in the heart of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, killing all the Japanese, he would not have too much guilt, or even not at all, and even slightly cool!
Originally, Zhu Youzhen should have come over with the wedding party of Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan and her party a month ago, but he changed his route to East Russia halfway.
Until this moment, not only did Japan not know that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen had not come, but even the wedding team, including Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan and hundreds of thousands of Ming garrisons in Japan, did not know that the emperor had not come.
Zhu Youzhen's warship arrived at night, and according to the emperor's instructions, it did not make a noise, only Hong Chengchou brought a few commander-level officers to pick it up.
Hong Chengchou and others knelt down and saluted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
The vigorous emperor walked in.
"It's all flat."
Although it was once said that there was no need to kneel and bow in the army, but I don't know when it started, this holy decree did not play a big role, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself forgot who broke this rule first, and he simply did it, the people of the Ming Dynasty only need to kneel to one person now, this is him, this is not retro, but the emperor's prerogative.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is wearing a black cloak outside, and a black dragon robe inside, only the collar is bright yellow, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen loves to wear military uniforms for a while, but in the past two years, he has changed his tastes, and when he goes out of the palace, he basically wears two colors of dragon robes, one is black, the other is gray, and it is either yellow or black in the palace.
The style of the dragon robe is closer to modern clothing, while the pants and shoes are completely modern.
Except for a suit, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen had nothing else on his body, he didn't wear any weapons, and of course he didn't have to bring money.
Zhu Youzhen summoned Hong Chengchou to sit in the same car with him.
"Send three divisions to Hakodate, issue my instruction, order all Japanese on the island of Honshu to come to Kyoto within a month to attend the wedding of Emperor Akisho and Empress Yi'an, and receive residence permits, and those who do not come will go to live on the islands of Hokkaido, the islands of Hokkaido can be self-governing and managed by the Japanese themselves, and the Ming Dynasty promises not to interfere, and at that time it will be divided between Emperor Akisho and Empress Yi'an, which will be my wedding gift to them! If the one-month period has passed, the Japanese who do not get their residence permits and do not leave the island of Honshu will be killed. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes and instructed Hong Chengchou, who was sitting straight, beside him.
Hong Chengchou gasped, he seemed to understand what the emperor meant, and he didn't seem to understand, if the emperor did this, there were two possibilities, either to drive the part of the Japanese who did not return to the barren Hokkaido islands to live, and the remaining Japanese on Honshu Island, the emperor included these people as residents of the Ming Dynasty? There is another possibility, Hong Chengchou didn't dare to think about it, and he was stunned when he thought about it. "Yes, Wechen understands."
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen squinted his eyes and looked at Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou happened to be peeking at the emperor, the eyes of the two people touched, and Hong Chengchou hurriedly lowered his head, "Your Majesty, do you want to kill all the Japanese?" ”
Zhu Youzhen had a cold face, without any expression, and did not answer Hong Chengchou's question. was so frightened that Hong Chengchou didn't dare to ask again. But the heart is already leaning in this direction. Hong Chengchou knew that what the emperor didn't say was what he couldn't convey to the below, including his layer, and even his layer couldn't clearly convey it, so he couldn't reveal the slightest rumor to the below!
After a while, Zhu Youzhen said: "In the future, a ring road will be built around the islands of Hokkaido. A bunker is 100 meters away, and barbed wire is pulled between the bunkers. You have a bottom in your heart, and you can prepare what you need to prepare in advance. ”
As soon as the emperor said this, Hong Chengchou completely understood what the emperor meant, confirming that he asked the emperor just now, and the emperor did not answer him.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not like Hong Chengchou, but he cherished Hong Chengchou's talent, at least so far, Zhu Youzhen has not found a senior military commander who exceeds Hong Chengchou's talent in military affairs, of course. refers to this period in the Ming Dynasty. The founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty are not counted, and the generals of ancient times are not counted. The generals of later generations are not counted.
In the previous life, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the full dog, which is also the place where Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen hates Hong Chengchou the most, Zhu Youzhen not only uses Hong Chengchou, but also has always hated Hong Chengchou in his heart, the reason why he did not give Hong Chengchou a cup of poisoned wine like Wu Xiang and Wu Sanguizu Dashou is because the time has not come, Hong Chengchou does not know that before his career can reach the most brilliant achievements, there will be a cup of poisonous wine waiting for him.
That night, the emperor stayed at the Japanese Imperial Palace in Kyoto, which had long been cleaned up, while Japan's Emperor Meizheng Xingzi and Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan and their entourage stayed in the pavilion outside the palace.
The emperor asked the senior staff officers in the chamberlain to arrange for him to meet with famous families from all walks of life in Japan every day.
Kyoto in Japan seems to have begun to regain its vitality with the pro-Japanese attitude of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, with a resurgence of commerce and an increasingly frequent population exchange.
Hong Chengchou mobilized the three most elite divisions, led by He Kegang, who was at the level of theater commander, and drove to Hakodate, all of which were relatively elite troops, and were also equipped with a heavy howitzer brigade. The Ming Dynasty invested a lot of troops in Japan, which is also something that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen has always been very troubled about, he knows that according to Zheng Yuelin's policy, assimilating the Japanese will make Japan no longer a problem in a very short period of time.
But Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was already determined to take the most extreme route, and the thought of a Japanese in the world would make him sick.
After Hong Chengchou mobilized three divisions to go north to Hakodate, he began to arrange the security affairs of the entire Honshu Island, and he dispersed and scattered all the remaining troops except for the five corps in Kyoto and the vicinity of Kyoto, and temporarily replaced the police with the army. Before Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen came to Japan, in fact, Hong Chengchou had already prepared for these tasks, but he did not get clear instructions from the emperor, and it was inconvenient for Hong Chengchou to take the next step.
And the reason why Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gave Hong Chengchou clear instructions after coming to Japan was not for anything? It's just that he feels that the time is not ripe, he wants to give the Japanese a kind of illusion, that the war has lasted for so long, it should be over, as for how to deal a final blow to the Japanese who are already left, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not think about it.
Hakodate is an important port city located in southwestern Hokkaido. It is located in Hakodate Bay in the southern part of the Toshima Peninsula and faces the Tsugaru Strait. It covers an area of three to four hundred square kilometers and has a population of about 200,000. It is located on a flat sandbar and belongs to the Hakodate Plain. In the eastern part of the bay is Mt. Hakodate, and in front of the mountain is the port of Hakodate, which is a natural harbor and the gateway to Hokkaido. The Matsumae and Kameda peninsulas block the northwest monsoon, making the city one of Hokkaido's milder cities in winter. In the 13th century, it was a penal colony for deposed nobles and criminals in the state. In the Edo period, immigrants began to settle down and engaged in fishing and agriculture.
At this time, the islands of Hokkaido were mainly afraid of the Ming forces and the Japanese who stubbornly resisted the Ming Dynasty, there was not much difference between the two, and it was precisely because the Japanese resistance was far greater than that of North Korea, and the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen repeatedly moved to kill.
Although it was still the military level of feudal society, after several years of confrontation with the Ming army, the Japanese were also improving.
It is not difficult for one country to defeat another, but it is not easy to wipe out all the people in this country, even if it is a hundred times stronger.
In the thirties and forties of the 20th century, the Japanese were much stronger than China, and after eight years of arduous resistance, China finally won the victory. Many say it's because of the meta-bullets of the Americans. Actually, it's wrong. Even without the Americans, it would be impossible for Japan to destroy China, first of all, China's territory is too large, even if the equipment is a hundred times backward, in the mountainous southwest region, even if it fights the Japanese with primitive weapons, the Japanese may not be able to occupy all of the southwest, because China is located on the mainland. The territory can be extended indefinitely, and it is impossible to form a government-in-exile across the border, and China is so large and has such a large population, that Japan's population growth rate alone will not be able to defeat China in even a hundred years.
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen knew very well that if these millions of Japanese ran into the mountains, they might not be able to kill all of them with millions of infantry, not to mention that these were millions of people, even millions of rats. It may not be able to catch it cleanly, not to mention that people have a much higher IQ than rats.
An army led by He Kegang. Without encountering any resistance, the Japanese had long been frightened by the Ming army, and in front of the Ming rifles and cannons, the spirit of bushido was a fart.
On the hill five kilometers away from Hakodate, in the Japanese fortifications, a group of high-ranking Japanese shogunate generals were accompanying Tokugawa Iemitsu, the supreme leader of the shogunate, to secretly observe the movements of the Ming army, and several people condescendingly pointed at them.
Tokugawa Iemitsu: "We have lost so badly, what else do the Ming people want to do?" ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu was almost desperate, he was originally a person with little ability, he relied on hereditary power to achieve his current status, in the original history, he was just a wreck who fed all day long and led Japan to the road of seclusion and seclusion.
Sakai Tadashi: "General, don't pay attention to them, the people of the Ming Dynasty want to eat us step by step, the country's fortunes have ups and downs, although the Ming Dynasty is strong now, as long as we don't die, the children and grandchildren will fight with them, and one day they will be able to recover the lost land." ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed: "However, countless Japanese were enslaved by the Ming people and worked as coolies, our population has plummeted, and there is not enough food, how can we sustain ourselves?" ”
Sakai Tadashi was silent for a while, of course he couldn't think of a way, this is a kind of pain for people to fight for the sword, only those who are in it know, "General, don't think about it so much, or order all departments to pay attention to strengthening the defense line, adding more sentry posts, and preventing the Ming army from coming to sneak attack at any time It is true, our military strength is too far from the Ming army, only the only way to use a never-ending war of attrition to fight the enemy is the only way, they don't let us live a normal life, we don't let them live a normal life, as long as they dare to come to Hokkaido, We will rob them, and I will rob them of whatever they have! ”
Tadashi Sakai doesn't know what to say, rob? What do you rob? In fact, Sakai Tadashi knows better than anything else in his heart that if the Ming Dynasty needs to rely on the Japanese to farm, and wants to enslave the Japanese, it is their gospel, which shows that the Japanese are still a little useful to the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty does not need the Japanese to do anything at all, at least the Japanese are not needed in agricultural and industrial production, then it means that the Japanese are really coming to an end.
Killing people and managing people are completely two different things, and those who don't need to be used have the only way out of being killed, and Sakai Tadashi even thought more meticulously than Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself, if you want to let all the Japanese who are hiding in the mountains die, there are 10,000 ways.
"General, maybe things are not as bad as imagined, the Ming Emperor is here in person, maybe there will be a turnaround, do you want to meet the Ming Emperor in person?" Tadashi Sakai asked Tokugawa Iemitsu.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was almost mad by Sakai Tadashi, "Then will I come back?" Isn't it said that the Ming Emperor is a demon who kills people without blinking? You want me to die? ”
Sakai Tadashi sighed, knowing that it was useless to persuade again, in fact, instead of cowering on this Hokkaido, it was better to really go to the Ming Emperor, which may really be a death for Sakai Tadashi.
Tokugawa Iemitsu talked with his staff for a long time, and it was almost all nonsense, where did everyone have any way.
A battalion-level unit of the Ming army came, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the mountain were scared half to death, although this Ming army only had a few hundred people, but the Japanese did not even dare to have the idea of going to a white-knuckle battle.
This Ming army did not come to fight, but a propaganda-oriented army, and the officers asked the interpreter to use Japanese and shouted to the mountain with a loudspeaker: "Tokugawa Iemitsu!" The samurai of the shogunate, Emperor Daming ordered that Hokkaido would be autonomous, and ordered all Japanese on the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido to come to Kyoto within a month to attend the wedding of Emperor Meisho and Empress Yi'an, and to receive a residence permit, and those who did not come went to live on the islands of Hokkaido. The islands of Hokkaido can be self-governing. It is managed by the Japanese themselves. The Ming Dynasty promised not to interfere, and at that time it would be divided between Emperor Ming Zheng and Empress Yi'an, which would be my wedding gift to them! If the one-month period has passed, the Japanese who do not get their residence permits and do not leave the island of Honshu will be killed. Tokugawa Iemitsu! The samurai of the shogunate, the Ming Emperor ordered that Hokkaido would be autonomous. Order all Japanese on the island of Honshu and Hokkaido to come to Kyoto within a month to attend the wedding of Emperor Meisho and Empress Yi'an, and receive a residence permit, and those who do not come will go to live on the island of Hokkaido, the islands of Hokkaido can be self-governing and managed by the Japanese themselves, and the Ming promised not to interfere, and at that time it will be divided between Emperor Meisho and Empress Yi'an, which will be a congratulatory gift for their wedding! If the one-month period has passed, the Japanese have not received a residence permit and have not left the island of Honshu. Shoot and kill. ”
The army shouted everywhere over and over again, and did propaganda everywhere. It has put great psychological pressure on the Japanese.
After all, Hokkaido is just a remote country, there is nothing, the mountains simply can't let a large number of people live, plus the shogunate with hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of slaves are running here, which makes the people in Hokkaido even more afraid, so many people are crowded on such a desolate mountain island, food is not enough in any case, the original inhabitants of Hokkaido heard the propaganda of the Ming army, plus the Ming army guarded the main road, they went to the direction of Kyoto, they were going to attend the emperor's wedding, I also have to get a residence permit, although these people are also afraid of Daming, but they are even more afraid of death, and they may have a glimmer of life within the jurisdiction of Daming.
In this case, the vast majority of Hokkaido was made up of shogunates, either Tokugawa Iemitsu's army or his slaves. Hundreds of thousands of people live in Hokkaido, which is not small in size but has little arable land.
During this period, Emperor Zhu Youzhen frequently met with Japanese nobles and famous families, frequently intensified propaganda, newspaper offensives wave after wave, and the military and police sent by Hong Chengchou also used both soft and hard measures to gather the residents of Honshu Island, using force and verbal persuasion, so that these people could first go to Kyoto to report, register, and receive rations, and they could get free food and lodging for one month when they attended the emperor's wedding.
Through these means, the people of Kyoto began to converge, this is one of the biggest flaws of Japan compared with China, Japan is such a small piece, the same as a region of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that now through the dispatch of troops to the Hakokan, the Ming army actually controls more than three-quarters of Japan's land at once, and there is no place to run if you want to.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen not only arranged things for himself, but he also asked the chamberlain to arrange things for Emperor Ming Zheng and Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan.
Zhu Youzhen let the two of them get along more, and frequently met celebrities from all walks of life in Japan with the appearance of a couple of newcomers!
The marriage of two women is enough to shock the world, not to mention that this is still a very closed and traditional feudal society, which is even more amazing. But Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen couldn't care about this, he believed that this political marriage could bring him the expected results, and he never thought of treating Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan as a chess piece in his hands.
Zhu Youzhen originally just didn't want to see Zhang Yan anymore, and he became self-esteemed, so he was angry and let Zhang Yan marry a woman, and by the way, he solved the situation that more than 300,000 troops had fallen into Japanese resistance for a long time, but he didn't expect that since this news came out, it was indeed much more powerful than a yuan bullet put into Japan.
At least the resistance of most of the Japanese on Honshu Island weakened, and in addition, the Ming army did not kill indiscriminately, so he gradually let go of his fear, and began to contact more with the Ming Dynasty army, of course, only the army, all the people sent to Japan in the early Ming Dynasty lived in the area below Shikoku Island, including Ryukyu and Okinawa.
Zhang Yan hasn't seen Zhu Youzhen for a long time, I heard that the royal car went outside the hotel, the mood is extremely complicated, today is Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to personally take Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan and Emperor Mingzheng Xingzi to meet and appease some of the people who have rushed to Kyoto from all over Honshu Island, Zhu Youzhen is now doing word-of-mouth, making a word-of-mouth that as long as he takes refuge in the Ming Dynasty, he can let the Japanese live a life of eating, drinking and merrymaking!
In fact, the grain of more than 300,000 troops is only enough to support three months, not that the country does not transfer grain, and now the Ming Dynasty is still in a food shortage, and the migration to the north and south in various places requires a lot of financial and material resources to support, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen also specially asked the northeast to get a batch of grain from East Russia this time, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen hopes that the Japanese problem can be fundamentally solved in the near future! I hope that the military and civilians in Japan can catch up with spring ploughing!
When Zhu Youzhen saw Zhang Yan, he was stunned, although he was an emperor and rich all over the world, he still felt that he was so lonely and pitiful, every time he saw Zhang Yan, he would have a feeling that if he couldn't have the woman in front of him, what happiness would he have in the world? What's the point?
Why is it only the first time we meet every time?
Zhang Yan is not hard-hearted, Zhang Yan's eyes are also red, she has not cried less during this time, of course the tears are all for Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen said that he would never meet her, which broke her heart, and made a fuss to let her marry a Japanese woman, this is the second time to hurt her heart, although Zhang Yan understands that the emperor is angry, he Zhu Youzhen is angry, she doesn't blame him, she still feels very painful.
Both of them are extremely painful, the source of pain comes from the disunity of thought, there is no completely irreparable obstacle in the world, the biggest obstacle is always in people's thoughts, different ideas, will only make the end of the world.
Zhu Youzhen wanted to rush up and hug Zhang Yan and tell him how much he missed coming, but he didn't say anything.
Zhang Yan came to the emperor, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
Emperor Xingzi knelt down and saluted Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
Zhu Youzhen choked his voice: "......"
He didn't know what he said, so he turned his head and glanced at Xu Guowei.
Xu Guowei was distressed and only wanted to slap Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan a few big mouths, of course he understood what the emperor meant, and knew that the emperor was speechless because he felt uncomfortable, so he hurried over: "Get up, the emperor will let you get up." ”
Zhu Youzhen's side is very handsome, with a bright yellow crown, black hair, a handsome face, and melancholy eyes.
"Am I not ashamed? Am I not ashamed? Zhu Youzhen yelled at himself in the depths of his heart, he regretted arranging this event, mainly because he was thinking that it was really unrealistic to never meet Zhang Yan, after all, he had come to Japan, and he still had to appear when Zhang Yan and Japan's Emperor Mingzheng Xingzi got married. (To be continued.) )
