…

Emperor Toba is very much looking forward to Li Cun being able to lower his heart and let Japan go!

But how could Li Cun tolerate Japan's Gyeonggi region dividing the Japanese island into two, so that the Daqian Dynasty would not be able to get all the gold and silver on Japan's treasure island, not to mention that it would be inconvenient to do anything in the future because of the interception of Japan's Gyeonggi region.

What's more, as far as Li Cun knows, Japan has mined a large amount of gold and silver over the years, and all of this gold and silver is in the Gyeonggi region.

In this case, if the Daqian Dynasty withdraws, it cannot be said that it will return empty-handed in Baoshan, but it will always be a lot worse, and it will inevitably leave Li Cun with regrets.

There is also the simple truth of "cutting grass without removing roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows", how could Li Cun not know?

Therefore, all the envoys sent by Emperor Toba were detained by Li Cun, and Li Cun used practical actions to tell the soldiers on the front line: "Japan is determined to win!" ”

July 19, 23rd year of Hongwu.

Under the command of the East China Sea Commander, Sheng Zheng personally commanded the East China Sea Force, and suddenly appeared on the coast of the Tosa region of Shikoku Island.

Tosa Guardian was shocked and concluded that the cadres were going to forcibly attack Shikoku Island from the Tosa region as before.

Tosa Guardian hurriedly dispatched troops to prepare for the battle.

Things were exactly as Tosa Guardian had expected.

When.

The East China Sea Army suddenly launched a dense artillery bombardment at several landing sites in Tosa at the same time.

In addition, the East China Sea Army also lowered thousands of small boats, which were filled with officers and men of the Southern Route Army and the Right Route Army.

- They seem to be preparing to land on the beach again.

During this period, while the Japanese side was retreating one after another, it not only organized a large number of Japanese samurai, monks, and reserves, but also mobilized the military and civilians of the whole country to build fortresses and other defensive facilities in all places where they could land.

One of these places where you can land is Tosa on the island of Shikoku.

Here, the Japanese built a stone barrier more than 20 kilometers long, more than one zhang wide, and the largest caliber of red-coated artillery that could not be broken to prevent the Qiankou army from landing.

Moreover, war is the easiest thing for people to grow.

After the baptism of brutal war for the past month, and after paying the price of an unknown number of lives, the Japanese side has begun to adapt to some tactics of the cadres and troops to some extent.

For example, the Japanese have already figured out that they have no teachers and have dug holes in the ground to avoid the shelling of the cadres.

In addition, the difficulty of grabbing the beach and landing on the battlefield is too great, so that for so many days, the veteran Wang Yu has not been able to take Shikoku Island.

In this regard, Wang Yu was furious, feeling that this was a great shame!

Therefore, Wang Yu is bound to seize Shikoku Island today.

After discussing with Sheng Zheng, Wang Yu proposed that today, he would personally command the red-coated artillery on the East China Sea Army.

For Wang Yu to put his hand into the bowl of their water army, to be honest, Sheng Zheng was a little unhappy.

However, it has been a month since the cadres of the southern route were blocked from moving north, and if they can't break through, if Li Cun sends down the holy decree, all of them, the senior commanders, will not be able to escape punishment, and the key is that this is too embarrassing.

Considering this, when Wang Yu was willing to make a military order, Sheng Zheng gave Wang Yu the right to bombard the East China Sea Army.

At the beginning of the war, under the command of Wang Yu, thousands of large-caliber fire-clad cannons of the East China Sea Army covered the Tosa area, so that the Japanese did not even dare to show their heads.

At the same time, Wang Yu sent his son Wang Xun as the vanguard, leading 3,000 death squads, braving artillery fire to rush to the beach and land.

Soon, Wang Xun led these 3,000 death squads, under the cover of artillery fire, successfully landed, and then rushed to the Japanese position.

At this time, Wang Yu ordered the artillery fire to stop.

Hearing that the shelling was over, the Japanese troops all got out of the holes, and when the 3,000 death squad led by Wang Xun rushed to the Qiankou fortification, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers drew their samurai swords and rushed up with a scream, fearless of life and death, and fought hand-to-hand combat with the Qiankou army.

Soon, the two sides were fighting together.

At this time, the superiority of the cadres in weapons could no longer be highlighted, and in the end, some officers and men of the cadres and soldiers pulled out the explosives bags on their bodies or thundered the sky, and exchanged more than one.

But in front of the crowd tactics on the Japanese side, such sacrifices are obviously of little use.

The two sides can only engage in the most primitive fighting.

This is the main reason why Shikoku Island has not been attacked.

Without it.

Relying on its advantage of fighting on the home front, the Japanese army completely engaged in the tactics of not fearing life and death, thus neutralizing a lot of the combat strength of the cadres.

This is similar to the method used by Fang La and them to defeat the Song army.

Today, the Japanese army obviously underestimated the determination of the commander of this battle, Wang Yu.

Seeing this familiar scene, and seeing that Wang Xun and they seemed to be invincible again, Wang Yu did not sound the gong to collect the troops like before, or the tactics of sports refueling, and continued to send people to land on the beach, according to the rhythm of the Japanese, and the Japanese fought for consumption, but said with an extremely firm expression: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, cover the blow, and open the artillery!" ”

With Wang Yu's order, the artillery of the East China Sea Army, which had little connection with the army of the Great Qian Dynasty, almost did not hesitate to cover and strike at the dry army and the Japanese army on the shore again.

Seeing that the officers and men of the cadres and soldiers on the shore were accidentally injured by artillery fire, or even directly killed, Wang Yu burst into tears, and he stared at Wang Xun, who braved the artillery fire and bravely killed the enemy, as if he was saying to others and as if he was saying to himself: "The people of the world only know that our cadres are invincible in battles and invincible because our cadres are advanced in weapons, but they forget that the officers and men of our cadres are more fearless than any enemy in fear of life and death." ”

Wang Yu's words made everyone present moved, especially when they saw a cannonball exploding not far from Wang Xun, who was originally killing in all directions, and after the black smoke passed, Wang Xun's figure disappeared.

At this moment, Wang Yu was awe-inspiring.

Wang Yu's body shook for a moment, then he stabilized his body with his sword, and then continued to command the battle with a pretended calm.

Seeing this, the officers and men of the cadres and soldiers are all willing to die!

You must know that Wang Yu can even send his only son to the front line to be shelled, and if anyone dares to touch Wang Yu's moldy head at this time, he will definitely be beheaded by Wang Yuli in front of the battle, and his family is afraid that he will also be affected by his fear of the enemy.

- This is the most humiliating thing in the Daqian Dynasty.

I have to say that although Wang Yu's practice of sacrificing his only son makes people's scalp numb, it is really useful.

Under Wang Yu's style of fighting at the expense of the same death, the Japanese army in Tosa could no longer resist the attack of the cadres.

As soon as the afternoon passed, the Japanese defense line was completely crushed by the cadres, who successfully established a bridgehead on the shore.

Then, the cadres built a protective belt with the small boats they were riding in, and the protective belt was constantly expanded, and then more cadres and soldiers landed, and the protective belt became longer and stronger.

Seeing this, Tosa Guardian ordered the Japanese samurai to shoot rockets to burn the protective belts of the army's boats.

However, the Japanese reaction was still half a beat slower - before the protective belt of the boat was burned, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers with sufficient firearms had landed on Shikoku Island, and they set up tiger squatting guns, lined up, and then with the cooperation of the red-coated cannons on the East China Sea naval fleet, they crushed the Japanese attack after attack.

But—

Although the cadres had sharp firearms, the Japanese also had strong defensive bases.

Therefore, after the Qianjun landed, the two sides still engaged in a bloody battle similar to a siege.

The battle was fought until dawn, and the Japanese army still stubbornly defended the Qiankou fortifications and did not take a step back!

It was not until Li Xianzhong, who rushed to hear the news, personally led 30,000 elites to kill from behind Wang Yu's army, that he completely defeated the psychological defense line of the Japanese, and finally caused a complete rout of the Japanese......

After the war, almost all members of the cadre army went out to find Wang Xun's body.

Wang Yu no longer had any hope that Wang Xun would survive, he just gave an order to slaughter all the Japanese who participated in the resistance, and returned to his Chinese army tent alone, locked himself inside, and wailed......

Li Xianzhong did not stop Wang Yu, who had buried his only son with his own hands in order to defeat the enemy, but silently took over the command, and while dispatching troops to clear the remnants of the Japanese army on Shikoku Island, he personally led the main force to pursue in the direction of Honshu Island.

Yue Yun preempted the rest of the army, and even the defeated Japanese army, reached the pass leading from Shikoku Island to Honshu Island, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders to break through this pass.

Subsequently, the cadres and troops fought from Shikoku Island to Honshu Island......

Soon, the South Route Army and the Right Route Army landed on Hiroshima and then attacked Nagato and Zhou Defense from behind.

The left and right armies of the South Road Cadre Army attacked the Changmen and Zhou Defense before and after, and the lock and key of the West Gate were not broken?

A day later, the gateway to Honshu Island was completely open to the cadres......

It is worth mentioning that Wang Xun's life was really big, he didn't die under such a fierce shelling - later, when the soldiers of the cadre army were cleaning the battlefield, they dug up Wang Xun, who was wounded all over his body but still alive, from the pile of dead people covered with corpses.

Of course, this is also because several of Wang Xun's personal soldiers crushed him under him to protect his vital parts......

……

The Japanese ministers and nobles in Kyoto were collectively shocked when they learned that Shikoku Island, Zhoufang, and Nagato had all been attacked by the cadres!

It was suggested that Emperor Toba surrender to the dry army.

It was suggested that samurai, monks, and reservists from Gyeonggi and Kanto be transferred to Kyoto.

There were also people who secretly discussed that Emperor Toba and other people who dared to resist the attack of the Daqian Dynasty should be captured and presented to the Daqian Dynasty in order to calm the war.

Wait a minute......

Emperor Toba's political methods are still quite ruthless.

After hearing the news, Emperor Toba first took action to clear out all those who wanted to capture him and dedicate him to the Daqian Dynasty, and then transferred all the samurai, monks, and reservists in Gyeonggi and Kanto to Kannai (that is, west of the three passes of Suzuka (later Mie Prefecture, Hokuriku Province), Hokuriku Province (later Gifu Prefecture), and Higashiyamado Aifa (later Fukui Prefecture)), and then the northern line was guarded according to Sanguan, and the southern line was guarded by heavy troops.

At the same time, Emperor Toba continued to send envoys to discuss with the Daqian Dynasty about the payment of tribute.

This time, Emperor Toba did not mention where the cession was, but only said that he wanted to stay in the region to live for a long time.

The region is bordered by the central and western parts of Honshu, the Chubu region to the east, the Chugoku region to the west, the Seto Inland Sea, Osaka Bay, and the Pacific Ocean to the south, and Wakasa Bay and the Sea of Japan to the north.

Let's ask, how could Li Cun let the Japanese ministers and nobles occupy this important land?

What's more, they still have hundreds of thousands of Japanese samurai, monks, and reservists in their hands, which seriously endangers the stability of Japan in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Therefore, it has been fought to this extent, and no matter what tempting conditions Emperor Toba put forward, Li Cun will have to destroy Japan in one go, and then completely occupy Japan.

Therefore, in the face of the repeated requests for peace by the Japanese, Li Cun just did not accept this stubble and was bent on a general decisive battle with Japan.

Soon after, the army of the North Road had also reached the three passes and made a knocking trend.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the final decisive battle between the two armies turned out to be the legendary Nasuno.

Nasuno (around Nasu County, Tochigi Prefecture in later generations), on a boulder, the cadres and the Japanese army fought a total of three battles.

In the first scene, the South Road cadres had just arrived in Nasuno.

At that time, there were only more than 50,000 horses in the South Road cadre army.

At the suggestion of the lord of Nasino, Sudo Kashimori Sadanobu, Emperor Toba was ready to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Nanji army to defeat the Nanlu army and then obtain a bargaining chip.

Therefore, Emperor Toba ordered the formation of a crusade army, appointing Yoshiaki Miura, Chiba Sutsune, and Kamisaki Sutsutsune as generals, and Onmyoji Abe Yasusu as military advisors, sending an army of 320,000 Japanese samurai and monks to Nasuno against Nasuno.

Although there were only more than 50,000 horses in the southern army, most of them were horse troops, and there were also many heavy cavalry and pure firearms troops.

On the Japanese side, although the main forces dispatched were also the main forces, these main forces had been defeated several times by the Southern Route Cadre Army before, and then the reserves that were replenished had already greatly reduced their combat effectiveness.

Speaking of which, some people may ask, how many troops does Japan have, and has almost made a million troops before and after, right?

In fact, there were only 300,000 samurai in various parts of Japan, and the main reason why he was able to produce a million troops was that Emperor Toba gathered monks and soldiers and organized various localities to recruit men under the age of 65 to serve as reserves.

In the 7th century, shortly after Buddhism was introduced to Japan (equivalent to the early Tang Dynasty), the Japanese emperor banned the consumption of cows, horses, dogs, apes, and chickens.

After 200 years of repeated emphasis, by the Heian period after the ninth century, Japan's ministers and nobles had developed the habit of basically refraining from eating meat.

And during the reign of Emperor Shirakawa, the previous generation of Emperor Toba, Emperor Shirakawa felt that it was not pious enough to simply not eat meat, and issued a strengthened decree to further prohibit the consumption of fish, shrimp and shellfish, that is, nothing but vegetarian food was allowed!

Compared with Emperor Baihe, Emperor Wu of Liang, who died because of his veneration of Buddhism (the first emperor to establish the precept that monks are not allowed to eat meat), is simply not religious, because Emperor Wu of Liang only made the monks vegetarian, while Emperor Baihe got the level of vegetarianism for the whole people......

The reason why Emperor Shirakawa was so devout was not only because he believed in Buddhism, but also because Buddhism in Japan achieved the status of the state religion after the ninth century, and Buddhist temples were everywhere, and temples not only represented a huge economic, political and military power, but even achieved absolute dominance, and it was with the support of these temples that Emperor Shirakawa became the supreme ruler of Japan, and ruled for decades.

After the death of Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Toba inherited all this, and also received the support of the temple.

All in all, in Japan in this era, there were more than 100,000 or even more than 200,000 monks and soldiers.

Moreover, the monks of some sects attacked the monasteries of other sects and looted them without mercy, so the Japanese monks had become indistinguishable from the militants of the secular feudal lords.

In addition, Japan had a population of nearly 10 million at this time.

In terms of population alone, Japan is one of the best in the world.

Therefore, it is normal for the total number of reserves in various localities to be hundreds of thousands.

But—

Although the Japanese army has a lot of troops, the quality of the soldiers is far from good, not to mention those temporarily recruited reserves, even those monks, the combat power is actually very limited.

The Japanese samurai were a little better, but because of their physical fitness, the degree of tacit cooperation, the gap in equipment, the degree of sophistication in tactics, and the spirit of daring to fight, three Japanese samurai could barely tie with one dry sergeant.

Therefore, although the strength of the army was less than one-sixth of the Japanese army, Li Xianzhong still decisively fought a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

In the end, the 300,000 Japanese army was defeated by the 50,000 cadres without any suspense.

In this battle, 300,000 Japanese troops only fled back less than 70,000, and the blood of the Japanese stained the boulder red, and later people called this boulder "killing stone".

The second scene.

Soon, Emperor Toba poured out to organize hundreds of thousands of samurai and monks, and invited high monks and masters from all over the country to come to help in the battle.

At this time, the reinforcements led by Wang Yu had arrived, and the number of cadres had increased to 80,000.

On the other hand, on the Japanese side, although Japanese samurai, monks, and reservists poured out, their overall strength and will to fight were actually not as good as the previous one.

The result is self-evident, the cadres and the Japanese army have a great victory over the Japanese army.

By the third time.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of the three passes, the cadres of the north road seized the three passes in one fell swoop and came to join the cadres of the south route.

At this point, the number of cadres exceeded 100,000 for the first time.

Emperor Toba, on the other hand, distributed weapons to all those in the Gyeonggi area who could hold them, and wanted to fight to the death.

As a result, as soon as the cadres shelled each other, these people who did not know how to fight at all immediately dispersed, and a one-sided massacre followed......

On August 15, the 23rd year of Hongwu, Emperor Toba announced Japan's unconditional surrender, and the Japanese imperial family and clan were all loaded and sent to the Daqian Dynasty......
