Chapter 140: Historical Mysteries
This time, Meng Fei led the troops to attack the Japanese country, and issued a news that shocked all the generals, that is, many of the previous military discipline constraints of the Dazhong Army were canceled, and what burning, looting, rape and indiscriminate killing were completely unrestrained, provided that as long as they obeyed the orders during the battle and did not mess around, after winning the war, they would rob and kill at will, and women would play at will.
At this time, these soldiers were a little dumbfounded, but soon the primitive beastliness of human beings was completely unleashed by them, and the Japanese were completely unlucky.
Wherever the Dazhong Army passed, it can be said that the three-light policy was strictly implemented, burning and killing all the people who robbed them all, first co-opting those who were strong and willing to surrender and follow the Dazhong Army as the leader-road-party, and then forced them to kill the remaining ones who could kill the men with the handles, and some were castrated on the spot, and then pierced their pipa bones with wires, and filled them into transport ships in strings, and those who survived were transported back to the country, filled in various labor camps, and went to do all kinds of coolies. It just so happened that these captured Japanese became the best laborers.
Don't pay attention to eating, as long as you don't starve to death temporarily, live simply, the sky is the bed on the ground, squeeze it to warm up if it's cold, it's really unbearable to freeze to death, it's just a good fertilizer, anyway, these people are not people, there is a decree in the saint, you can not treat them as people.
As for the young Japanese women, they were taken prisoner and shipped back to China, and a large number of them were filled into the Goolan Tile House by the newly established Jiaofang Division, and served as prostitutes, which really attracted many lustful people to try the new ones, which greatly added a lot of income to the treasury of Dazhong, and also satisfied the quirky desires of many filthy men.
Anyway, there is no Geneva Convention, and the massacre of prisoners of war in this era will not be condemned by anyone, nor will it invite the armed intervention of other countries, so the large and medium-sized soldiers and generals of the Eastern Crusade really brought out the ugliest side of human nature to the fullest.
Yu Xiaotian's will to Meng Fei was to give him two years to destroy the Japanese state, Meng Fei was obviously a cadre, faithfully performed his duties, led the Dazhong Army and the Chao-Xian Servant Army under his command, and it took nine months to conquer Kyoto, Japan, and the Emperor Houguang, who was regarded by the Japanese as a god, was captured alive, and the Dazhong Army set fire to Kyoto.
Tokugawa Iemitsu finally gathered all the remaining Japanese forces and all the peasants who could participate in the war, and launched a final counterattack against the Great Chinese Army in the summer of the sixth year of Joten.
The two sides launched a fierce battle, which lasted for four days, although the Japanese army was fighting against the water, intending to fight a fish to the death, but these temporarily recruited civilians composed of the Japanese army, whether it is morale, combat skills or equipment quality, are completely incomparable with the large Chinese army, and even those who are used as cannon fodder Goryeo sticks and traitors call themselves knife team is not a level at all, can only rely on the last blood to swarm up, such a battle can no longer be called a battle, It can be said that it was a one-sided massacre, and after seven days, hundreds of thousands of improvised Japanese soldiers became corpses, and the entire battlefield was covered with corpses and blood, and even the elite soldiers and generals of the Dazhong Army who had been in battle for a long time felt a little uncomfortable looking at the tragic situation in front of them.
Seven days later, the entire Japanese army finally collapsed completely, and the remaining Japanese fled in all directions like an avalanche, and the Tokugawa family saw no possibility of turning the tables again, and committed suicide when they were defeated.
At this point, the entire Japanese resistance collapsed, and only scattered local armed forces were still in their dying struggles, but under the encirclement and suppression of the Dazhong Army and the Korea-Xian Servant Army, they were gradually strangled.
And the Japanese kingdom was completely destroyed.
Some Chinese members of the Dazhong-Korean army who accompanied the army recorded this battle of annihilation and later brought it back to China, and some officials of the Dazhong-Korean army saw some records about the battle of the Eastern Crusade and felt that it was too cruel to do so, so they suggested to Yu Xiaotian and persuaded Yu Xiaotian to issue an order to stop such atrocities by the Dazhong army.
However, Yu Xiaotian ignored this, and ordered to confiscate all written records of the Eastern Crusade, and issued a gag order to Meng Fei, ordering Meng Fei to issue a gag order to all those who participated in the Eastern Crusade, and not to transmit back to China the various atrocities they had committed in the Japanese State.
The entire battle of the Eastern Expedition to the Wa Kingdom, counting the later period of the Qing Dynasty in various places, lasted a total of two years, the entire Wa Kingdom basically did not have the full control of the Dazhong Army, it can be said that all parts of the Wa Kingdom were killed all over the field, and later even the people who collected the corpses could not be found, in desperation, Meng Fei in order to avoid the spread of the plague to the Dazhong Army, this ordered to reduce the slaughter, leaving a part of the Wa people, specially collecting corpses, a large number of corpses were directly dug out of the big pit on the spot to bury, and the corpses near the sea were directly thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Later generations of historians have conducted an investigation of the battle of the Eastern Crusade, when the total population of Japan has reached nearly 50 million people, but after the end of the war, the whole of Japan is said to have less than 5 million people left, the entire population of nine out of ten, known as the Wuzi Massacre.
Even the remaining less than 5 million Japanese people were basically completely wiped out in the repeated massacres that lasted for more than ten years, including various historical documents and many architectural relics left by the Japanese state, and even the writing of the Japanese state was banned from use, and finally led to Japan, an island country in the east, which became a mysterious past tense.
Because later, after the end of the Eastern Crusade, the commander at that time, Meng Fei, ordered the burning of all the written materials found in Japan, except for a very small number of technical documents translated and preserved, the rest were basically burned, and at the same time ordered the abolition of Japanese, and the remaining Japanese people were all converted to Chinese, and no one was allowed to speak Japanese anymore or use Japanese to record things.
So much so that later generations of historians basically could not find any records about Japanese history, and this nation was completely lost in the long river of history as if it had evaporated from the world during the Chengtian period of the Great Middle Dynasty.
Later historians can only find some records about the Japanese slaves from some local historical records of the Great and Chinese Dynasties, and only know that during this period of time, the Great and Chinese Dynasties once launched a large-scale military campaign to conquer the Japanese, but what happened is not recorded in detail, as if after this war, the Japanese Kingdom seemed to have evaporated from the world, and can only find some records about the Japanese Kingdom from the historical documents of some other countries.
Of course, it is impossible for Yu Xiaotian to completely exterminate the Japanese people from this world, because in this era, because Japan banned Catholicism in Japan, and persecuted the Catholics in Japan at that time, forcing many Japanese Catholics to leave Japan and flee abroad, distributed in many places in Southeast Asia.
Some local histories of the Great and Middle Dynasties record that at that time, during the Chengtian period, after the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese Kingdom, a large number of castrated Japanese slaves appeared in various parts of the Great and Chinese Dynasties, and they engaged in the most arduous labor in various places.
During the Chengtian period, these Japanese slaves can be said to have made great contributions to the infrastructure construction of the Great Middle Kingdom, and also paid an extremely heavy price, because they were all castrated people, and the long-term extremely heavy labor made them die quickly, and in just ten years, these Japanese slaves basically all died, and they could not leave any descendants.
During this period, the erotic and erotic industry of the Great Middle and Northern Dynasties also developed greatly, and a large number of Japanese women poured into various parts of the Great Middle and Northern Dynasties, and were filled into the government-run brothels in various places, and some private brothels also looked at the purchase of many Japanese women, but as these Japanese women grew old and decrepited, they gradually withdrew from the brothels and married some poor people or rich people as concubines.
Later generations only passed down some tragedies caused by the Great Chinese Army's eastward expedition to the Japanese Kingdom from some descendants who were rumored to be born from these Japanese women.
Two or three hundred years later, some archaeologists excavated a large number of mass graves in some parts of old Japan, which had been renamed Tokai Province in later generations, especially in the area around Kyoto, where a super-large mass grave was excavated, and according to the area and the number of bones per unit area, it was roughly judged that the number of corpses buried in this super-large mass grave exceeded 100,000 people.
In some of the valleys, a large number of bones have been found in later generations, and the number cannot be counted at all, but in short, during the Chengtian period of the Great Chung Dynasty, a country that was once called Japan in the old days seemed to have evaporated from the world.
And those generals who participated in the war back then, after returning to China, the vast majority of them kept silent about what they had done during the Eastern Crusade, and even when asked by their families, they would never say much about what they had done.
Only a very small number of people secretly recorded some of what they saw and heard about this crusade, as well as what they personally did, which was later passed on to future generations by their descendants, and became a very small amount of written records of this period of history, proving that in the Chengtian period, Emperor Yu Xiaotian once decreed a tragic massacre against a nation, and completely wiped out a nation that once called itself Yamato from this world, and even their history. It was also wiped out together, so that this nation became a mystery in the hearts of many curious scholars in later generations.
When some historians in later generations evaluated Yu Xiaotian's life, they said that Yu Xiaotian was a genius, and at the same time an executioner with blood on his hands, which can be said to be a very, very contradictory combination.
On the one hand, he was kind-hearted to the Chinese and introduced a lot of policies that benefited the general public, but at the same time, he was also an extremely murderous person, and during his reign, he destroyed many countries and even exterminated many peoples.
Although later generations know that there were many bad deeds in the history of the Japanese state, in the Ming Dynasty between the 1200 years, there were a large number of Japanese activities in China's coastal areas, which once caused extremely heavy losses to the people in China's coastal areas.
However, compared to Hyoten's later slaughter of the entire Wa Kingdom and the extermination of the self-proclaimed Yamato nation in history, it can be said that he took revenge on this nation by means of a thousand times more than a thousand times.
Many people can't figure out why Yu Xiaotian, as the greatest Ming monarch in Chinese history, hated this Yamato nation so much that after destroying the Wa Kingdom, he even wanted to exterminate the entire Yamato nation, which eventually became a complete mystery.
Just when the battle of the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese Kingdom had not yet finally ended, at the beginning of the sixth year of Chengtian, Yu Xiaotian left the Beijing Division and went to the Dalian Shipyard in person to participate in the launching ceremony of a ship.
