"My lord, the war-weariness of the soldiers below is almost uncontrollable, today there is a whole group of soldiers who refuse to go to the city to defend, if this continues, no one of us will want to defend the city!

Moreover, the power of the Han Empire's shells was so great that we had already killed hundreds of loyal warriors and thousands of wounded in the barracks without even seeing the enemy's face......

If we continue to fight, we will have to prepare for street battles with the soldiers of the Han Empire, or with the intact Han army......"

Shogun Tokugawa, who was sitting in the main seat, listened to the report of the retainers who commanded the city wall with a pale face, and asked with a slightly trembling voice, "How many ninja troops do we still have?" Can you kill Mondora, the commander of the Han army? ”

An old man next to him replied: "Lord, after the last successful assassination, the main force of our ninja army was stranded outside the city, so most of the people did not escape the purge of the Han Army Independent Regiment, and we don't have many usable ninja warriors to serve, and Mondora is much more cautious than flax, and rarely leaves the Han army barracks......"

The indiscriminate purge of the wealthy clans around Edo Castle by the Honor of the Americas Independent Regiment can be regarded as a crooked attack and the arrest of those ninja soldiers!

The ninja army may be very effective in sneak attacks and assassinations, but if you face the enemy head-on, it is a matter of several volleys......

Of course, the lessons of the past are in front of us, even if the strength of the shogunate ninja army is intact, it is impossible to assassinate Mondora who was brought with him in the barracks of the army, and the assassination of the military commander is a very tempting shortcut to victory in history, however, not many people can succeed......

"We, really can't fight anymore?" Shogun Tokugawa's voice trembled a little and asked the many retainers below. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The entire hall suddenly became silent, most of the retainers and generals lowered their heads, and only a few high-ranking lords and faction elders stood there indifferently!

Naturally, the Tokugawa shogun understood what this silence meant, and even the belligerents no longer stood up and shouted that they would fight to the end.

Of course, there is another important factor why everyone acquiesces to this fact, the Han Empire did not want to replace the shogunate regime, they just put forward a humiliating 21 articles, and the Tokugawa shogunate agreed to the 21 articles Although it will bow its head in front of the Han Empire in the future, it is at least the boss of Japan, even if the prestige is greatly damaged, oh no, the prestige of the Tokugawa shogunate in the Japanese daimyo who signed the 21 articles should be considered to be gone......

However, with the support of the more powerful Han Empire, it is a big deal to suppress it directly!

It's like if you didn't promise the 21 articles of the Han Empire, and the army of other people drove directly to the gate......

What national righteousness, national independence, in front of muskets and artillery, is not a fart!

My life is gone, and I am a bird of righteousness!

Wouldn't it be necessary to wait for the angry Han Empire army to come in and kill themselves and their opponents, and then support the obedient people to ascend to power?

It's better to continue to sit in the position of the boss of Japan......

In this era, there was no nationalism or nationalism in Japan, and the most important thing for each family, daimyo and even shogun was the continuation of their own family!

General Tokugawa looked at the silent retainers below, and knew that this cauldron that was the first to open his mouth to sue for peace still had to be carried by himself, hey, for the sake of the Tokugawa family, if he was poked in the backbone by later generations, he would poke it......

In fact, some traitors who betrayed the country to seek glory in history were not of their own will, but were pressed down by the general trend and had to do it, the country was weak and humiliated, it was too normal!

The relationship between countries is the real naked law of the jungle!

"Let Yamada Motoshi Daimetsu goke go, and let him be solely responsible for contacting Mondora outside the castle, and as long as the truce is fought and the foundation of our Tokugawa shogunate is retained, all conditions can be granted......"

After finishing speaking, Shogun Tokugawa seemed to have aged by dozens of years in an instant, and hurriedly announced that the discussion was over, and with the support of his personal surname, he left the main hall with staggering steps!

The many retainers below are like a hundred generations, some are relieved, some are full of sorrow, and some have tears of humiliation in the corners of their eyes!

Even if everyone survives and continues to enjoy the glory and wealth, the honor and historical mission of the Tokugawa family will be completely reversed at this moment!

From then on, the Tokugawa family will become the No. 1 traitor in Japan!

Of course, if the Han Empire had been strong and had not abandoned the Tokugawa family, it would not have been recorded in the history books, but this probability is really a bit small......

Yamada Motoshi's residence, dressed in plain clothes, under the gaze of several samurai in full suits, stepped out of the threshold that he was not allowed to cross, regained his freedom and even restored his power, Yamada Motoshi did not have the slightest sense of joy, he just glanced at the samurai who was holding him in full clothes, and sighed: "Why did you bother in the first place when you knew this was the case?" In a few days, Edo Castle will probably not be the world of these samurai, and I don't know if you will be able to live in Edo, which is full of Han Chinese soldiers, in the future! ”

Several samurai next to him heard Yamada Motoshi's rude words, and they were about to draw their swords on the spot, but they were stopped by the samurai wearing dark red feet in the lead, waving his hand and saying, "The war is coming to an end, so let's shed less blood." ”

The voice revealed endless loneliness, and the Tokugawa family's decision was not a small blow to their own samurai!

In the summer of the 16th year of the Han Dynasty, the Japanese conquest that lasted for more than a year ended completely after the Tokugawa Shogun agreed to the 21 Articles of the Han Empire.

The day after Yamada Motoshi negotiated with Mondora, Edo Castle opened its gates to welcome the Han Empire's 'royal division' into the city, and all the soldiers of the army were disarmed by the Han Empire, except for a small number of core flag warriors of the Tokugawa family.

It is said that it is an armistice and a peace treaty, but in fact Edo Castle is no different from surrender, and it is natural that the status of the Tokugawa family and the direct army will be retained, and according to the treaty, the Han Empire will support the rule of the Tokugawa family over Japan!

After Mondora's army entered Edo Castle, the soldiers of the Tokugawa family's army were released and returned after just a formality, and only those daimyo reinforcements were deliberately detained by the army of the Han Empire!

After a long night of talks between Mondora and Tokugawa Shogun, an agreement was reached that soldiers from the Han Empire would be stationed in Edo Castle all year round to protect the newly established embassy area of the Han Empire!

At the same time, the detained foreign aid soldiers were all handed over by Mondora to the Tokugawa family for training and annexation!

The high-level chief officers and samurai sent by the daimyo from all over the country were all imprisoned in the air!

The whole of Japan suddenly became turbulent with the Tokugawa shogunate's affirmation of the 21 privileges of the Han Empire! (To be continued.) )
