As soon as it landed in Honshu, it meant that the Japanese had completely lost any possibility of resisting the advance of the main Ming army towards Edo.

Next, after the Ming army temporarily rested at the mountain pass, they quickly took Hiroshima, Hyogo, Maizuru and other cities.

When the Ming Dynasty occupied Osaka, it meant that it was not far from Kyoto.

However, by this time, the emperor had already fled Kyoto and was temporarily stationed in Nagoya.

The entire Wa Kingdom was in turmoil, and the daimyo began to expand their troops and horses to fortify the city.

And the shogun Tokugawa Ietssuna also began to feel uneasy and at a loss at this time.

"Elder, what should we do now, the strength of the Ming army is too strong, we can't beat it!"

Tokugawa Ietssuna asked Sakai Tadashi anxiously.

"First invite the emperor back, in the name of the emperor, collect the armies of the daimyo, organize them, and have a decisive battle with the Ming army on Mount Fuji, using the terrain of the mountains and rivers may be able to defeat the Ming army, if not, we can only let the emperor surrender to the Ming on our behalf!"

Therefore, the Tokugawa Ietsuna really sent someone to bring the emperor from Nagoya to Edo, and at the same time called on the daimyo from all over the country to gather samurai at Mt. Fuji and prepare for a decisive battle with the Ming here.

The emperor and shogun Tokugawa Ietssuna also took refuge in Mt. Fuji.

After waiting for the Ming Dynasty to occupy Kyoto, Nara and other cities in the Japanese Kingdom one after another, he officially arrived near Tokyo in June of the 40th year of Chongzhen, came to the foot of Mount Fuji, and was blocked by 300,000 Japanese troops.

The Wa State also dispatched cavalry this time, but it was still defeated like a chicken and a dog in front of the Ming army coordinated by infantry and artillery.

In the end, the Japanese army still had to fight with the Ming army in the Fuji Mountains.

"This is the highest place in the Wa Kingdom, and now that the Shogun and the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom are in it, we must first annihilate all the Wako hiding in this Mt. Fuji before we can effectively occupy the Wa Kingdom."

Li Dingguo looked at the vast mountains and said.

"But this mountain is spreading, the forest is deep and the road is dangerous, and our army is very unfamiliar with this place, and it is very difficult to annihilate the Japanese invaders, although our army has excellent weapons, but if it is scattered, it is inevitable that it will be ambushed by sneak attacks and ambushes if it is scattered among the mountains, and I am afraid that it will increase casualties, or even in vain."

Zheng Chenggong had to add, and he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the snow-capped Mount Fuji in the distance.

Li Dingguo also remained silent, but because of the large number of Japanese countries, they gave these Japanese robbers a temporary shelter, so that the Ming army had to temporarily stop attacking them in order to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Li Dingguo thought for a long time, and finally decided to adopt the strategy of closing the door and fighting the dogs, concentrating 200,000 Ming troops to surround the entire Mount Fuji, and did not let the main force disperse into the mountains to search and suppress, but tied up into a cage under the mountain, and 20,000 iron horsemen divided into ten classes to continuously patrol around the entire Mount Fuji day and night.

At the same time, Li Dingguo also selected only 5,000 special operations soldiers armed with submachine guns and earth-shaking thunder on their waists, scattered into the mountains, and attacked the Japanese who were hiding in the mountains, but did not exterminate them, but only drove them out, and the main force under the mountain was responsible for exterminating these Japanese soldiers.

In short, it is to let the main force set up a cage outside, and let the most capable Ming army act as a hunting dog, enter the hunting ground to drive out all the Wa kingdoms that are regarded as prey, which can also be said to be a grass and rabbits.

Today, they are all densely populated in the mountains of Mt. Fuji, and with their familiarity with the topography of the area, they are able to resist in the mountains.

"General, will we defeat the Ming army, will the Ming army break into the mountains and kill us?"

Emperor Wako asked the shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna, and Tokugawa Ietsuna smiled coldly: "The Emperor can rest assured, the elder Sakai Seitadada said, we are now in Mt. Fuji, like a fish swimming back to the sea, it is difficult for them to find us, and if we want to find us, we can only divide our troops to look everywhere, and then we will have the opportunity to attack them with cold arrows and cold guns, so that they will not return." ”

"The general is wise!" The Emperor nodded, and he was a little relieved.

At this time, the sound of gunfire rang out, and the special operations officers and soldiers of the Ming army suddenly appeared nearby with submachine guns, and shot fiercely at these Japanese robbers, and then shouted to kill, for fear that these Japanese wouldn't know about their appearance.

As a result, the Wakoku panicked, and both Tokugawa Ietsuna and the Emperor were busy running out under the escort of their men.

This kind of scene continued to occur for the next period of time, and these Japanese robbers hiding in the mountains of Mt. Fuji were chased around like rabbits by the Ming army.

At this time, the main force of the Ming army waited at the bottom of the mountain, once a group of Japanese invaders ran to the bottom of the mountain, they unceremoniously gathered and annihilated, or beat them back, so that these Japanese invaders now want to go down the mountain, and there is no peace in the mountains, and the Japanese in the entire Fuji Mountains have been in a state of running, and have no energy to idle to farm and accumulate strength.

However, the main force of the Ming army under the mountain laid a more and more solid foundation at the foot of the mountain, searched for the wealth of the Japanese daimyo, established the ruling order, and accumulated logistical resources.

As a result, within a year, there were fewer and fewer surviving widows who remained in the mountains, and even if there were, they were hungry and cold, and had to starve because of the shortage of means of production.

"General, I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry", the Emperor of the Wakuni has become unbullish.

And Tokugawa Ietsuna, who used to be able to eat big fish and meat, but now he can only drink porridge to survive, also said helplessly: "I can't eat enough." ”

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had already begun to adopt a political offensive, sending ordinary Japanese civilians who had been trained to follow the Ming army's special combat soldiers into the mountains to beat the gong and shout: "Wait for the Japanese people to listen, and those who capture the Japanese shogunate general Tokugawa Ietsuna or the Japanese Emperor will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and spare his life!" ”

The price was not unattractive, but on the verge of death and starvation, although some samurai were still loyal to these Japanese nobles, more of them began to want to save themselves.

Even Tokugawa Ietsuna wanted to sell the Emperor of the Wakuni Kingdom, but he was worried that the Emperor of the Wakuni would sell him again in a blink of an eye, so he kept the Emperor of the Wakoku with him.

"They are the emperor and the shogun, they are!"

At this time, the first to betray Tokugawa Ietsuna and the Emperor of the Wakoku Kingdom was the elder Sakai Seitadada, and as soon as he saw the Ming army appearing, he hurriedly stood up and pointed at the Tokugawa Ietsuna and the Emperor Wako.

And Tokugawa Ietsuna now hated this Sakai Seitada, and couldn't help but be furious: "Why did you betray me? ”

"There's no way, I still want to live!"

As soon as Sakai Sekitaka finished speaking, a samurai stabbed a sword into Sakai Sekitada's stomach: "Disloyal and unrighteous guy, my general will kill you!" ”

But now the Ming army had come over and asked Tokugawa Ietssuna and Emperor Wakuni and the samurai beside them.

"Which of you is the emperor and the general?"

"He is!"

Both Tokugawa Ietsuna and the Emperor of Wakoku pointed to the samurai who had just killed Sakajin Seitada.

The warrior was a little stunned, a little regretful, and a little disappointed.

"It's strange, I heard that the emperor and the general are not the same person, why did they become the same person today, this person looks honest, obviously not the emperor and the general, you are lying to us!"
