Chapter 3: The Moon Is Like Frost in the Surrendered City (19)
Maybe in this era, maybe as a bystander, Ding Yi is cruel and murderous, using the historical tragedy that has not yet happened as the source of hatred, and is doing his best to take revenge and liquidate. It seems that it is a paradoxical logic, because it will take a few hundred years for the heinous evil deeds committed by the Japanese people against Huaxia to happen, and this is obviously the source of Ding Yi's hatred.
But for Ding Yi, this is not the case, for him, time is continuous, the era after a few hundred years and the current era are emotionally continuous, he will not do bullshit inference, he will not do any speculation, it is to take revenge, it is to take revenge, once he makes a move against the Japanese country, he will not be able to stay.
"Don't say anything about justice, don't say anything about lofty ideals, as a politician, it's too naΓ―ve for you to say such things in front of me." Ding Yi smiled and said to Zong Mingshanquan, "I can have pity on you, really, at least for you, I am willing to give a little respect." Then Ding Yi said to Cao Jixiang, "Allow him to choose twenty cronies to meet him." β
Then Ding Yi said to Zongming Shanquan: "I will give you a chance, within five days, if the Japanese have a master with lofty ideals and can defeat me, I can leave the shogun a life, note that it is only his own life, he will replace the king of Wa and go to Huaxia to sacrifice prisoners." β
There was life in Yamana Soquan's eyes, as if he had grasped the last straw.
Although the Wa King has no real power for the Wa Kingdom, for them, it is more like a spiritual symbol, and if even this spiritual symbol is destroyed, he dare not imagine what kind of situation the Wa Kingdom will fall into. Even if the Ming army withdrew from the Wa State, then in this land. It will also be an endless war.
Without hesitation, he soon reported the names of twenty of his cronies. And Cao Jixiang quickly brought in seventeen of them, and the three people who did not show up, two of them had died on the battlefield, and one was missing.
Yamana Zongquan looked at Ding Yi, he was like a dying wolf, wanting to leave his opponent at the last moment, a claw mark that was enough to prove himself: "How many warriors can Your Highness accept?" "It's a pride, even the last pride.
Ding Yi smiled and nodded: "If you can do it." It could be the whole Wa country, I don't mind. β
So that trace of pride was so fragile and broken, a pride that was more fragile than the ice flower.
Indeed, in the entire Wa Kingdom, what Ding Yi defeated and conquered was not one master, but a few masters, but the entire Wa Kingdom.
He stood in the main hall of the Heian Palace. Looking at the Yamana Soquan who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, he was gently holding a folding fan, with a smile on his face, and there was no smell of killing. There was no domineering momentum, just standing firmly in the hall with one hand behind his back. Holding the folding fan in one hand and shaking it gently, the snow-white Confucian shirt was among the elite in black. is so eye-catching that he doesn't even care about the principle of "generals don't ride white horses" at all. Because this is the Ping'an Palace that he has trampled underfoot, he has enough strength and courage to make this country not turn over.
Yamana Soquan lowered his head, he had nothing left to use as a fig leaf, and died with a little numbness: "Is it okay for ten people?" In fact, when he woke up, he felt that this was a very childish thing. Ding Yi, who had already stepped on the Ping'an Palace, didn't need to accept such a challenge at all.
But he couldn't help but grasp the last straw, a moth to a fire-like action.
"Ten is too little, a hundred." Ding Yi left such a sentence, nodded with a smile, and walked into the palace.
As soon as they entered the palace, not only Yang Shousui, Li Bing, Cao Jixiang and others, but even Li Shao, who was broken by Cao Jixiang and had broken his finger bones, all persuaded him: "Your Highness is the soul of the Ming Army, the royal brother of the Son of Heaven, An Neng personally took the risk and made a blood-spattered five-step battle with them!" β
It seems that many widows sent by Wudu still made Li Shao reconsider his side, of course, the more important thing is the victory, one victory after another, the temptation of being famous outside the territory, so that this old-style scholar doctor has more thoughts and hopes.
"Alright." Ding Yi waved his hand and motioned for them to stop, "I'm not going to play any challenges with them." β
"It's just that the Japanese have people with lofty ideals, so it's better to let them emerge on their own, and it's much easier than us to search for the Japanese country by ourselves."
Ding Yi didn't plan to talk about this matter at all, and asked Li Shao directly: "Xiang Shilang is on the Kyushu side and has begun to take over the military defense, what do you say?" Can you take over the government affairs of this Japanese country? This time I really want to go back to Huaxia, the commander from the military department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, you have also seen it, and I really can't afford to delay here. β
Li Shao, whose phalanges are still on the splint, does not have the strength when he first arrived at Zhuqian, maybe the battlefield can really make people grow.
He didn't talk to Ding Yi anymore, and saluted very respectfully and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, how many usable soldiers can you leave for Xia Guan and Xiang Shilang?" β
"There were also four regiments of Korean soldiers on the Tsushima side, about 8,000 men. When the fleet passes through Tsushima Island, I will transport these regiments to Chikuzen for you. "How to allocate troops, Ding Yi has long been confident, pointing to the map spread out on the case and said to Li Shao, "More than 10,000 Korean soldiers who have experienced the war, and then leave you 2,000, there is only so much for the time being." The garrison was divided into three locations, the Kyushu garrison was stationed in Hizen, the Shikoku garrison was stationed in Tosa, and the Heian garrison was stationed in Kyoto; In addition, the East China Sea Fleet was set up on the Echizen side, and Ma Zhitu was in charge. β
"Your Highness, there are too few soldiers and horses!" After Li Shao consciously changed his side, he began to learn to complain to Ding Yi.
"There is no surprise on the Jeju side, 30,000 recruits will complete their training in two months, and 20,000 will be replenished for you. Anyway, as long as they pay taxes honestly, you don't want to meddle in the internal affairs of the Japanese country. What you have to worry about now is not the problem of military strength, but how to collect war reparations from the daimyo in various places; Hokuriku Province, Higashiyama Province, and Tokaido Province, they surrendered voluntarily, as long as they are honest and donate, you don't have to worry about them. Ding repeatedly told him that he was worried that Li Shaobei would be carried away by the victory, and that he would have soldiers in hand, so he would go around the Wa Kingdom.
Winning does not have a very good effect, once there is a loss, then it will greatly reduce the fear of the Ming army.
That's definitely not worth the cost.
And the Wa King and the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa were brought up, and they were followed into the palace, as well as Goto Gomon and Hosokawa Katsumoto. As soon as Ding waved his hand, Yang Shousui put the paper contract in front of them, this is a treaty on war reparations, the main points are:
The Wa King Yanren slashed himself and claimed the title of the emperor, and ceded the throne of the Wa King to the Houtu Imperial Gate; Hosokawa Katsumoto was appointed as the head of the shogunate.
The shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa assigned the dead man to assassinate the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and the clan was punished, and the Wa King and the shogunate governor paid 10 million taels of silver to compensate for this; Yamana Zongquan killed the envoy Li Sunsin sent by the Great Ming Dynasty, and the Wa King and the shogunate paid 100,000 taels of silver for this, and punished all the men of the Yama Ming Dynasty, and the women were disciplined by the branch of the Sihai Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Ming Dynasty, and the lifelong menial service could not be pardoned.
Da Ming expressed his understanding of this in the spirit of God's virtue of good life. And the country of the Japanese is listed as a country that is not to be levied, and the people of the Ming and the Japanese are at peace with each other, and all the Ming people who live in the country will be protected by the country;
The Wa King and the Shogunate conspired to assassinate the Ming clan and the envoys, so that it was necessary to send a sergeant to ask for justice, and now it is decided that the navy and army will spend 12 million silver dollars, and the Wa King and the Shogunate will be allowed to compensate.
The total was two thousand two million taels of silver, to be repaid in three years.
If the amount is not paid in full on time, a rate of five taels of silver per 100 taels of silver will be raised at the discretion of the year.
Later, there were also concession garrisons, and the Ming people had extraterritorial rights in the Wa State, and so on.
Wang Yanren is happy to sign and seal, he was originally a spiritual symbol in the country, what does it matter?
The Houtu Imperial Gate who inherited the throne of the Wa King and the shogunate leader Hosokawa Katsumoto, needless to say, was already a pug at Ding's feet, and the Houtu Imperial Gate was only afraid that the butcher's knife of the Ming army would be waved on his head, so he hurriedly attached it behind Hikohito.
But Ashikaga Yoshimasa refused to sign, he was the goods of the clan, this sign is also the death of the whole family, and if he doesn't sign, the whole family will die, he knelt outside the Heian Palace and there is a trace of luck, at this time he came to his senses, where is he willing to sign? just kowtowed to Ding Yi again and again and begged for his life.
Li Shao told him: "Your Highness has left you a glimmer of life, if you are sensible, after signing, you may not have a chance to live." He told him about the bet between Ding Yi and Yamana Soquan just now, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa burst into tears and hurriedly signed it.
On the fourth day, when more than 70 samurai of the Wa Kingdom gathered in Heiankyo, Korean soldiers came and led them to the palace and taught them to wait in line outside the palace of the palace. These samurai were the so-called Japanese warriors gathered by Yamana Sozen.
They are not tall personally, but they are all as strong as iron piers, some people wipe the knife with a white scarf, and some hold the scabbard, trying to make their spiritual qi reach the best state; Someone is cheering for his companions: "There is only one person and a knife in the Ming Dynasty!" Do all in one's power! β
"Hello!" Many of his companions were inspired by them to respond loudly.
After about a stick of incense, Ding Yi finally appeared, and King Hikohito, Goto Gomon Waking, Hosokawa Katsumoto, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and Yamana Soquan followed Ding Yi.
And then, there's nothing else.
After a battalion of soldiers of the guard regiment shot the third time with the rifles in their hands, none of the Japanese samurai could still stand, and what the soldiers of the guard regiment did was to put on their bayonets and go forward to mend their swords one by one, until these samurai were freed.
