The Taiping officers and soldiers did not understand the murderous Japanese culture at this time, and the civilians at the bottom were basically not treated as human beings, and the women among them were the products of vassals, and the samurai were all cultivated into bloodthirsty monsters, even in peacetime, they would often kill offended civilians because of their bad mood.

The duels between the samurai are countless!

Duels are nothing, and white Europeans are equally prevalent in the West, however, the concept of shame of surrender is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture, the punishment of cowards is extremely severe, and the Japanese spirit of bushido enshrines suicide as a classic......

When the Taiping army entered the city, the shogun sent the most elite and the most fearless samurai elite to try to drive out the Taiping army vanguard camp that entered the city, so the scene just now happened, and hundreds of people rushed to death one by one......

However, this round of slaughter can be regarded as breaking the last backbone of the defenders of Edo Castle, and there are not many samurai classes who are truly fearless of death!

Not all samurai are willing to die for their home!

As the supreme ruler of the island of Japan, the shogun could only gather hundreds of samurai who looked like dead soldiers in Edo Castle.

After killing these people, the commander of the vanguard battalion sent a herald to report the battle situation to the main force that landed behind, and then continued to drive into the city with his men and horses.

During this period, all the Japanese who stayed on the streets and dared to resist, regardless of whether they were civilians or not, were all killed on the spot, and this was the tradition formed by the Taiping army all the way to conquer the city.

Therefore, it is impossible for an old man on the side of the road to die here in the Taiping Army because of the kindness of the soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers are close to the same death.

If you see someone standing in the middle of the street from a distance, even if the other party has no weapon in his hand, the Taiping soldiers will send a bullet to it.

The reason is very simple, those who dare to stand on the street at this time are either fools or have other purposes!

After hundreds of Japanese samurai were slaughtered, the Taiping vanguard battalion quickly rushed into the residence of the Edo shogun, and several rounds of guns and grenades scattered the recalcitrant Japanese ashigaru and samurai inside.

After seeing the suicide attacks of the Japanese samurai, the soldiers of the Taiping Army did not expect to catch the shogun, just as they did not capture the Emperor Kang Mazi after they attacked the Kyoto Division.

If these rulers really want to run, they have a chance.

However, when the Taiping army rushed into the shogunate's residence, they saw the shogun sitting at the top and a group of old people facing the heavily armed Taiping army with empty hands, and they had no intention of fleeing.

Naturally, there is no intention of suicide......

"The supreme heavenly soldier of the Heavenly Kingdom, I, the Edo Shogunate, am willing to submit to the eternal holy monarch of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

After entering here, the first thing the Taiping officers and soldiers who raised their weapons heard was a surrender quote shouted out in awkward Chinese......

And it was played repeatedly, as if I was afraid that the soldiers of the Taiping Army would not understand!

After the Edo shogunate learned that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was powerful when it fell to the Manchu Dynasty, it was actually prepared for two things, on the one hand, it purchased arms on a large scale to reorganize the war, and on the other hand, it made a series of preparations for surrender and possible changes after surrendering.

The Edo shogunate is not a fool, and if it can't be beaten, of course it won't use its life to fight the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

The Manchu Emperor Kang Mazi is the best witness!

Aixin Jueluo and his family, because they fought to the end with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as a result, after Kang Mazi died, none of his descendants could stay......

Coupled with the rumors that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gave preferential treatment to those who surrendered, it was only natural that the Edo shogunate surrendered.

However, even if they were ready to surrender, the Edo shogunate still had the dominant rhetoric of the main war faction, and no one wanted to be a slave of the Han Chinese!

Therefore, after Edo Castle learned that the Taiping fleet was heading south, more than eighty percent of the shogunate's regular army was gathered in the Edo area, and tens of thousands of ashigaru and samurai, as well as reinforcements from the local daimyos, gathered in this area of Edo.

Then, under the shelling of the ironclad ships of the Taiping Army, it disappeared......

The tens of thousands of troops who were pinned on by the Edo shogunate couldn't even withstand the salvo of the Taiping army's naval guns, what a fart!

When the vanguard of the Taiping army entered the city, the last group of samurai of the main battle faction, gathered all the warriors who were willing to play, and launched a wave of heroic attacks, which was a pact between the main battle faction and the shogun, if they could drive the Taiping army out of Edo Castle, the war would continue, if not, the shogun would surrender to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with the peace faction!

The answer was obvious, and when the shogun heard that hundreds of powerful samurai had been slaughtered in less than ten minutes, he was even more determined to surrender.

Tens of thousands of people were crumbled by the volley of the Taiping army's ironclad ship guns, and Edo Castle could not even stop hundreds of Taiping troops.

Sometimes, the Japanese are terrible to the bones, but when the Japanese realize that the enemy is too strong to match, they will instantly turn into a docile husky......

In this way, there was a scene where the Japanese shogun surrendered with a group of family elders.

The commander of the Taiping Army, who was in charge of the conquest of the Japanese islands, was very happy when he received the news of the surrender of the Edo shogunate, and quickly accepted the surrender of the Edo shogunate, and recruited a group of Japanese ashigaru soldiers and ronin samurai in their name to form the vanguard cannon fodder for the invasion of the Japanese islands.

Although the Edo shogunate surrendered, there were a large number of independent daimyo feudal lords on the islands of Japan, and these people would not surrender to the Taiping army in one fell swoop.

As soon as the Japanese Edo shogunate surrendered, the Japanese emperor, who was the mascot in Kyoto, suddenly issued a series of 'holy decrees' to resist to the death, and wantonly wooed the local daimyo and those recalcitrant samurai who were unwilling to be enslaved by the Han Chinese.

The Japanese emperor, who occupied the name of the independence and righteousness of the Yamato nation, really gathered a lot of power, and even faintly replaced the Edo shogunate!

Many of the daimyo on the island of Japan were a group of local buns, and they had very little information about the outside world, and they were completely incomparable with the Edo shogunate, so they did not understand the strength of the Taiping army at all, and naturally resisted very vigorously.

It's a pity that the Japanese emperor enjoyed the power for less than a year, and was beaten to Kyoto by the puppet army of the shogunate formed by the Taiping Army......

At this time, there were more than 10,000 ashigaru of all types of shogunate puppet corps, most of whom were armed with the Japanese own iron cannons (an updated version without arquebus), and as for the Japanese regional daimyo who supported the emperor, two-thirds of them were flown by car, and the remaining one-third basically surrendered......

The Japanese emperor also wanted to surrender, but the Taiping army had the hardcore Japanese traitor of the shogunate, and there was no need for a good-for-nothing Japanese emperor, so the emperor must die! ()
