Chapter 663: On the eve of the decisive battle
The tomb of Emperor Nara had been dug up, and the coffin, which was not very large but looked very heavy, appeared in front of Zhu Houwei's eyes.
Zhu Houzhao said that Emperor Nara is the monarch of Japan, so even if he dies, he should retain a dignity, which is based on his own status and has nothing wrong, and the reason why Zhu Houwei wants to dig up his grave and whip his body is just to vent his anger.
There is no right and wrong, and there is no need to talk about any historical criticism, he can even give a slaughter order, let alone whip the corpse.
But forget it...... Give my brother a little face.
"Burn this coffin along with the corpse......" After saying this, Zhu Houwei turned around and left.
Back to the Emperor's dilapidated Imperial Palace, the people in the Imperial Palace, including members of the Imperial Family, had fled long before the army arrived in Kyoto, and the civilians in Kyoto City had escaped for the time being because Zhu Houwei wanted to live here temporarily......
But they were slaughtered and went to do hard labor to dig rivers, which was mistreated...... Whether it was lucky or unlucky, it's hard to say.
And this is also the reason why Zhu Houwei agreed with Zhu Houzhao's opinion and selectively slaughtered.
If a big river can be dug up with the lives of millions of ghosts, and there is a real chance that Xinjiang will become a land of fish and rice, then this decision is undoubtedly extremely wise.
"Now more than a dozen daimyo choose to join forces, it seems that they also know that they are stationed in the army, and the final outcome must be broken by each one, so they are lucky, and they want to fight to the death with the Ming army, and the defeat will not be worse than the original ending, maybe they can gnaw a piece of flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty before they die, if they win, maybe there will be a turnaround, hehe, I think it is really beautiful."
Zhu Houzhao said with a solemn face: "Although the mourning soldiers may not necessarily win, but they should not be underestimated, there are countless examples of too many absolute advantages in history and finally falling into the sand, you must not be careless to underestimate the enemy, now the daimyo are also fighting against the water, and their sea retreat has been cut off, so only by winning can there be a glimmer of life."
And don't underestimate the Japanese army, the Japanese army has been fighting for many years, these Japanese soldiers are brave and good at fighting, fighting to the death, and the combat effectiveness they can exert must be extremely terrifying......"
"It's a pity that I encountered a dimensionality reduction blow ......"
"Dimensionality reduction strike? What dimensionality reduction strike? Zhu Houzhao looked confused.
Zhu Houwei didn't bother to explain what dimensional space is, even if he explained it, he couldn't explain it clearly, so it was better not to waste saliva, maybe he would be regarded as a neuropathy.
"Now all the daimyo are stationed in Shinano County headed by the Ashikaga Shogunate, and the distance from Ise County is only more than 300 miles, it seems that Ashikaga Yoshiharu is planning to put the main battlefield in Mino County, and fight to the death with us, hehe, the Muromachi Shogunate of the Ashikaga family has been completely declined by the following Keshang, but I didn't expect that because of our arrival, this Ashikaga family has returned to the light."
Zhu Houzhao didn't want to hear this, mainly because he felt big when he heard these messy names.
During the reign of the Ashikaga shogunate, because of the advent of the Warring States period, powerful daimyo such as the Ouchi family, the Hojo family, and the Niko family did not take the shogunate seriously at all, and even launched a war against the shogunate to replace it.
In other words, the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate is really only a matter of time, but now it is different.
No one is convinced by the powerful names, so there must be someone who can convince the public, and how to convince the public is either from the perspective of strength or from the perspective of nominal points.
But obviously, it is impossible from the perspective of strength, and your Ouchi family says that you are strong? Have you asked the Mori family and the Hojo family?
Nizi is dead for a long time, otherwise from the perspective of strength alone, he said second, who would dare to say first!
If the strength can't convince the public, then it can only be from the name, the nominal boss of Japan is Emperor Nara, but Emperor Nara's cowardice, the Ming army is still thousands of miles away, that guy was frightened, and directly chose to commit suicide in Amaterasu Shrine......
The emperor died, and a new emperor was not established, in fact, with the current situation, where there is no emperor to set up, then there is no emperor, naturally the shogun is the largest, so the contemporary shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, naturally became the commander-in-chief.
Everyone understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth, facing the danger of destroying the country and the species, the previous intrigues are all nonsense, how can you not unite at this time, it is really hopeless......
Zhu Houzhao didn't have the slightest interest in these messy and things, and said straightforwardly: "Japan wants to fight, which is exactly what we want, don't talk nonsense, let's go into battle and meet this garbage for a while."
Zhu Houwei was speechless.
It has been four months since he set out on the expedition, and Zhu Houwei is also a little tired, he is not suitable for the battlefield by nature, which is the opposite of his brother.
Shinano-gun.
Ashikaga Yoshiharu sat on the main seat, the faces of the daimyo on both sides were solemn, and the atmosphere was dull and depressing.
"The emperor was martyred, the Ming army was brutal, and the slaughter of Japanese civilians was as high as three million, everyone, the life and death of the Great Japanese Empire is in this battle!"
Mao Liyuan snorted coldly: "The thief is cunning, the advance speed is extremely slow, and the ambush traps we have laid have become useless, and now we are fighting head-on, as a jade crush!"
"There is no way out for Great Japan to retreat...... Hojo Tsuyoshi sighed: "If the Ming army cannot be defeated in this battle, the sinking of the Japanese land is a foregone conclusion."
Ashikaga Yoshiharu nodded and said: "Hojo-kun is true, Great Japan has really reached the last moment of life and death, it is an indisputable fact that the Ming army is strong, and the strength of the Ming army is strong in firearms, strong in unreasonable tactics, if we can't restrain the Ming army's firearms and crack the Ming army's tactics, our chances of winning are really not big."
According to the detailed description of the samurai who fled back from the Niko Jingjiubu, the Ming army's tactics were very simple to bombard with artillery, and then the musketeers stepped forward to shoot, and the fighting style was quite unreasonable, but it was impossible to restrain it at all.
Firearms are no stranger to the daimyos, and even the armies of the daimyo have musketeers, and artillery is not absent, but the number is scarce, so it is not very useful.
However, the firearms of the Japanese army are still in the arquebus era more than ten years ago, and none of the problems of slow rate of fire, low accuracy, and long range have been overcome, so the Japanese soldiers will only use them when they are old and weak, as for the samurai......
A samurai is a warrior, and a warrior uses firearms? I'm sorry, I can't afford to lose that person.
According to the urine nature of the Japanese country, what they like to do most is to steal everything in China, whether it is cultural or military development, and if they improve it a little, it will become their own thing......
The Ming Dynasty has been developing firearms all these years, and with the power of firearms, the grassland, expeditions to the four seas, for such a big killing weapon, you want to say that the Japanese people do not covet it, that is a joke.
It's just a pity that after years of coveting and using countless methods, I couldn't get a musket......
