Chapter 3: The Moon Is Like Frost in the Surrendered City (18)
There were still five days left before the month of the battle plan, and Ding Yi got off the four-wheeled carriage and stepped on the Vermilion Bird Road. This is not the Luoyang of China, but the Suzaku Road of Heianjing of the Japanese Kingdom. The Wu Dalang baked cake flag that is circulated in China is naturally a joke, but the plagiarism and theft of Chinese culture by the Wa Kingdom are really countless. Not only were nouns such as Suzaku Taiji and hiragana stolen from Chinese characters, but also because the Tang envoys absorbed a lot of Chinese culture, they even liked to call Heiankyo, Kyoto, Luoyang.
Suzaku Avenue is the main road of Heiankyo and connects the Ouchiri Suzaku Gate and the Rajomon Gate, the main roads such as Tozuki Omiya, Nishi Tonin, Higashi Tonin and Tokyo Goku, the east-west main roads of Nishishu Shidainomiya, Dozu, Kitsuji and Nishikyogoku, and various main roads such as Tsuchiomon, Nakaomon, and Nijo to Kujo, all of which intersect perpendicularly with Suzaku Taiji.
Heiankyo is surrounded by shrines such as Kamo, Matsuo, and Inari, which are believed by the locals.
It is true that you can vaguely see a few wisps of Tang Dynasty charm, but at this time, all the visual focus is focused on the outside of the Ping'an Palace, leading the ministers to kneel in front of Ding Yi's carriage, with his hair scattered, his upper body naked, his mouth with a jade wall, leading the sheep and carrying the coffin, and the body of the king who is tied with a straw rope. The shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, knelt behind the Wa King, and Yamana Munesumi, Akamatsu Masanori and other powerful figures of the Wa Kingdom knelt behind Ashikaga Yoshimasa.
On both sides of the main road, there was a long queue of kneeling generals, all of whom were army generals, powerful leaders, guardian daimyos, and so on.
And the price of this result is that of the 30,000 soldiers of the Foreign Legion, now only more than 10,000 remain, and the loss is Yan zhòng. It was more than 10,000 people under Wu Dugan, and now there are less than 3,000 people. Most of those losses were non-combat attrition, that is, exhaustion. He was sick and had to set up a battalion for wounded soldiers in the Kyushu region.
The most complete formation was the two regiments under the direct command of Yang Shousui, with a shortage of less than 300 people.
Interests are often sharper than knives and guns, and it was not the Korean soldiers under Li Bing who captured Heianjing, nor the foreign army under Yang Shousui, but the Japanese people. The first to enter the city. It was the Hao clan servant army under the command of Yang Shousui, and then the Japanese volunteers recruited by Li Bing, as for Wu Dugan, the initial army was amazing, but in fact, when it arrived in the Changmen area, it had already lost its sharpness, and its successor was weak, and it basically stayed in the Kyushu region.
Ding Yi put his hands behind his back. looked at the Wawang who was kneeling on Suzaku Street, full of tears, the frightened Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and the unwilling and gritted teeth of Yamana Soquan and Akamatsu Masanori and other powerful ministers. Ding Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Who instructed the dead soldier to assassinate the student's stepmother?" And who sent the samurai to kill Yi Sunsin, a lone student? ”
When the king heard this, he began to weep. Because he had a jade wall in his mouth, he couldn't cry well. I can't say anything, I just know that I kowtow desperately there; Ashikaga Yoshimasa is quite a bit of a haste of the Empress Lee. I don't know how to answer; However, the mountain name Zongquan behind him gritted his teeth and kowtowed, straightened his body and said to Ding Yi: "Your Highness, it is all done by Weichen, please give Weichen seppuku!" ”
Ding Yi looked up to this guy a little bit, laughed and said to Hosokawa Katsumoto, who was bowing his waist beside him: "Your father-in-law is a little burdensome. "Hosokawa Katsumoto's wife is the adopted daughter of Soquan Yamana, so the two protagonists of the Onin Rebellion in this history are the relationship between Weng and son-in-law.
Hosokawa Katsumoto, who had already received the Kyogoku Clearing-Line Report, had made up his mind as early as the 15th and surrendered to Yang Shou's subordinate department.
So this time Ding Yi entered Heiankyo, Hosokawa Katsumoto was able to follow Ding Yi like a pug instead of being the losing party and following behind the shogun. Listening to Ding Yi's words at this time, Hosokawa Katsumoto hurriedly said, "Your Highness! He's lying! His conscience is greatly broken! Hosokawa's Daming official didn't speak very well, and he said it stiffly, which made Ding Yi sound familiar.
Ding Yi didn't laugh unconsciously, but said to Hosokawa Katsumoto: "You ask him, I think he can't do such a big thing by himself." "Ding someone came to the Wa Kingdom, definitely not to kill a powerful minister, just the mountain name Zongquan, can not satisfy Ding Yi's appetite, this does not achieve his purpose of making the entire Wa Kingdom reshuffle.
"Hello!" Hosokawa Katsumoto listened, immediately bent down to respond, ran to the front of Yamana Soquan, slapped it over, and directly whipped Yamana Soquan's big teeth away by two, "Yours, honest explanation!" Who told you to do this! ”
"I did it." Yamana Soquan struggled to get up, staring at Hosokawa Katsumoto's eyes, but there was no hatred, he thought that Hosokawa Katsumoto could save himself by doing this, and if someone needed to come out and bear Ding Yi's anger in order to protect the Wa Kingdom, then he chose to do so.
Even he figured out the logic, if it weren't for Ding Yi, Li Bing, and Yang Shou accompanying them, they would all know that there would be no assassin who assassinated the Empress Dowager Sun at all, but I was afraid that they would all believe what Yamana Soquan said: "Since the beginning of the Kamakura shogunate, the emperor has been handled by the shogun in handling Japanese military and political affairs." The general relies on Weichen, and these things are all done by Weichen. His Daming official words are much stronger than Hosokawa Katsumoto, and there is no such weird tone at all, "Chikuzen, is where the power of Weichen lies, and the disciple who harmed His Highness is also Weichen, who instructed the people below to do it!" Please, Your Highness, punish it! "Bow your head.
"See? It's tragic. Ding Yi pointed to the mountain name Zongquan, smiled and said to Li Bing and Yang Shousui beside him, "I hope that this kind of tragedy will never appear in the ministers of Huaxia, and leave this kind of tragic glory to our enemies, and give them more opportunities to create more tragedy." ”
Then Ding Yi said to Yamana Zongquan: "Lonely thinks, it's not just you who did it, so don't say that Lonely won't give you a chance." ”
Cao Jixiang got Ding Yi's signal, and immediately took someone down, and after a while, the cry sounded, and the people who came up were all men and women from the whole family of Yamana Zong, both old and young, all kicked down beside Yamana Zongquan, Ding Yi pointed to Hosokawa Katsumoto and said, "I heard that your wife is also the adopted daughter of Yamana Zongquan?" ”
"Hello!" Hosokawa Katsumoto bent down and replied.
"Is she here too?" Ding Yi asked with interest.
Hosokawa Katsumoto glanced at them, pointed to one of the women, and said to Ding Yiyu, "Yes, she is here." ”
Ding Yi said to Cao Jixiang: "Give him a knife." ”
"Young Master." Cao Jixiang hesitated for a moment and called someone to Ding, because he thought it was very unsafe, especially since Hosokawa Katsumoto was by Ding Yi's side, but Ding Yi obviously didn't plan to change his mind, so Cao Jixiang had to ask the soldiers of the Foreign Legion to give Hosokawa Katsumoto a knife.
"If Yamana Zongquan refuses to say who instructed him, then kill the men in his people, and then you ask him again, if he refuses to say, kill all the women, and then Ling Chi, I want him to die for seven days, and if he dies early, then you will die for him." Ding Yi gently patted Hosokawa Katsumoto's shoulder and whispered to him.
A few cloudy tears dripped from Yamana Soquan's eyes, but his mind was decided, and he still said: "I instructed it, and there is no one else!" ”
Ding Yi didn't speak, there was a cherry blossom petal flying in the autumn wind, Ding Yi caught it, Cao Jixiang gave an order, the sword was bright, and in an instant, more than thirty heads landed. Ding Yi looked at the cherry blossom and didn't look up, but just said softly: "Forget to tell you, after you, it's Akamatsu Masano, if Akamatsu Masano also refuses to tell the truth, it will be next, and someone will be willing to say it." ”
Hearing this, Yamana Zongquan immediately lost blood on his face, he couldn't protect anyone, and only then did he understand.
"Sample, be brave, sample!" Yamana Soquan roared at the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa in front of him, hoping that the shogun, like himself, would stand up and bear the wrath of Dingichi. But Ashikaga Yoshimasa began to cry, but for Ding Yi, this was enough.
Ding Yi smiled and nodded, and patted Hosokawa Katsumoto's shoulder: "You can put down the knife, I have always been very trustworthy." ”
"The king of the Japanese was escorted to Beijing and sacrificed the capture of the Beijing division; Ashikaga Yoshimasa, clan punishment; Yamana Zongquan entered Beijing with the Wa King, and his clansmen handed over the Ministry of Rites to the head of the chapter. Ding Yi gave the order very calmly, then got into a four-wheeled carriage, and entered the Heian Palace under the escort of a cavalry battalion wearing chicken breastplates.
"Lord Shengming!" Li Bing sang loudly, and Yang Shousui also shouted, "Mr. has an order, and those who commit great tomorrow will be punished!" From today on, anyone who dares to call himself the emperor will be killed! ”
And after Ding Yi's carriage, those daimyo and powerful ministers who knelt behind the king of Wa got a kind of relief, like a knife hanging over their heads finally fell, and they could finally not worry about their lives. Akamatsu Masanori and other powerful ministers, Haoqiang, and daimyo took the lead in chanting:
"Jinghai black card, onboard! Onboard! ”
And the Japanese officials kneeling on both sides of Suzaku Road also chanted one after another: "Jinghai black card, onboard!" Onboard! ”
The whole of Kyoto was boiling, and the civilians cheered, relatively speaking, they were more sincere, because Yang Shousui and Li Bing of Heiankyo had accused him, and the soldiers had held various grievance meetings among the people, and gave them the title deeds confiscated from the homes of the Haoqiang of Heianjing. Whether it is Ding Yi or the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, who wants the land of the Wa Kingdom? Will the U.S. military be keen to buy a house in Iraq?
And the soldiers of the Ming Foreign Legion, sue these people of the Ming Dynasty, after the end of the qiē, the Ming Dynasty will not embarrass the people of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Daimyo or Haoqiang bullied them in the future, they can also go to the garrison of the Ming Dynasty in the Japanese State to complain.
For the people at the bottom of the Wa Kingdom, his cry was more sincere: "Jinghai black card, onboard!" Onboard! ”
This is Heiankyo, the only voice in this autumn day. (To be continued......)
