Chapter 56 Ming Dongying Province

At the time of the attack, Hosokawa Yorimoto had already predicted Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's movements, and with the least strength, he killed Ashikaga Yoshimitsu with one blow. It can be seen that Hosokawa Yorimoto's swordsmanship is better than Ashikaga Yoshimitsu I don't know how many layers.

Hosokawa Yorimoto took a step back.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu fell to the ground with his head up to the sky. He who is already dead cannot die again.

Hosokawa Yorimoto looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's corpse and suddenly felt ridiculous.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is dead, and this Ashikaga is about to cease to exist. And he didn't die though. But will the Hosokawa family still exist? It doesn't exist anymore.

The grievances and grievances between the Ashikaga family and the Hosokawa family are not interesting at all.

Their time is over.

A new master has arrived.

------

Kyoto is in sight.

The advance of the Ming army was no longer hindered.

Countless Japanese saw the military flag of the Ming army, and they all knelt down in the dust reverently, and where Fu Zhong's eyes swept, no one stood up. In such a situation, Fu Zhong is still not used to it. After all, even outside the camp of the Ming army before, in the middle of the night, long arrows were often shot into the camp.

You can't shoot people, and you can't kill people.

He didn't know why the Japanese had suddenly become so submissive.

Fu Zhong actually didn't agree too much with Fu Youde's iron-blooded policy. After all, he wants to come to long-term peace and stability, and he needs Huairou, so when to kill someone, when is it a head, but on the contrary, just kill people. Fu Zhong secretly said in his heart: "It seems that there are still many things I need to learn from my father. ”

Of course, out of the idea of being a secret for His Holiness, Fu Youde took all the killings of Japan on himself, and did not reveal any of the emperor's intentions.

For this kind of smoothness, Fu Youde also has some disagreements.

I don't know if it's the two-level split in Japan's national character, or Zhu Yuanzhang's omnipotence.

Anyway, it's okay to get it here.

Fu Zhong turned his head and said to a Japanese man behind him: "Kokura Palace, when you arrive in Kyoto, you will do a lot of things. ”

This Japanese man is in his twenties. said to Fu Zhong: "The junior minister remembers the general's order. ”

It's just that the moment he raised his head, his eyes were a little complicated.

His name is Oguranomiya. Or maybe it's not a name, but the name of a palace, a palace name to refer to a big man. And Fu Zhongcai didn't want to understand this kind of twists and turns. Just take his name as Ogura Palace.

He was the son of Emperor Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty.

That is, the heir of the Southern Dynasty.

After the Ashikaga family defeated the Southern Dynasty, the forces behind the Southern Dynasty could not support it, so Emperor Gokameyama gave up the three artifacts, and the emperor returned to one in two days, thus ending the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan, but Emperor Gokameyama has always been unconvinced.

Emperor Go-Kameyama's last words were to regain the throne of emperor.

By the way, it seems that today's emperor is a lineage of the Southern Dynasty. In fact, the weirdness of this thing is that after the Ming Chongzhen, the descendants of Prince Jianwen were suddenly promoted to the position of emperor. It's just that I don't know if the Japanese have done a genetic tracing project for the emperor.

This can be regarded as the fulfillment of Emperor Go-Kameyama's last wish after a long, long time.

But that was a long time later.

Today's Kokura Palace is very complicated in his heart. Because he finally defeated the Northern Dynasty. The problem is that Japan is gone, and the Japanese emperor may have one more person, and that is him. But he was the last, and perhaps, he couldn't even be the last emperor.

Because until now, Da Ming has not given him any guarantees.

He also saw that at least Daming did not want to re-establish the emperor in Japan.

As the emperor, he ruined Japan with his own hands, and the feeling in his heart was very uncomfortable. But the problem is that many things he did not have a choice. Yesterday, the remnants of the Southern Dynasty, they no longer have anyone to support. can only be pursued by the Ashikaga family and hide in Tibet. In this case, it is normal to be caught by the Ming Dynasty.

After being caught, where is there a chance to say yes or no.

Moments later, they came to the outside of Kyoto.

Fu Zhong looked at it from a distance and felt that it was very magnificent, but it was very incongruous. The reason is simple. Kyoto was built in imitation of Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty. But it's not a one-to-one replica. Although it is more ambitious than many prefectures and counties in the Central Plains.

However, Japan's pattern has not been completely replicated. But that alone is not incongruous.

Also, there is the Battle of Kyoto a few decades ago.

The two sides broke the castle and opened several gaps in the walls of Kyoto, from which thousands of people entered the castle for a while. It also toppled a long section of the Kyoto city wall. After that, the Northern and Southern Dynasties began, so the walls of Kyoto were not repaired for a long time.

Later, that is, after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ascended to the throne, he had the money to repair this section of the wall.

Therefore, this section of the city wall is very new, and there are many big differences from the old city. And over the centuries, there have been some changes in many technologies. If it is exposed to the wind and sun, it will naturally be old, but it is not easy to find. But this kind of just repaired not long. On the contrary, you can see it at a glance.

However, these are all minor issues.

But I saw the emperor of Japan, bare-chested with a sheep, kneeling at the gate of the city. Hosokawa Yorimoto, also dressed in white, knelt at the gate of the city with a box in his hand.

Fu Zhong said to Kokura Palace: "You take someone to take over Kyoto." ”

Oguramiya agreed, "Hi." ”

Fu Zhong frowned and said, "Don't speak Japanese. ”

Kokura Palace immediately changed his words and said, "Yes." ”

Then he took it down.

A group of more than 1,000 people entered through the city gate and took over the vital places in the city. Prevent things from going wrong. Although Fu Zhong felt that by this time, the blood of Japan had almost been shed, and the Japanese should not have any problems.

Even if they have the heart to do something, they can't do it, he is just a pioneer. There is Fu Youde's army in the back. Even if they find a way to overshadow themselves, how can they face the army behind them. It's all the same ending, so why bother.

But the precautions that need to be done still need to be done. It's not good if the boat capsizes in the gutter.

Fu Zhong made arrangements to come to the city gate, looked at the so-called Japanese emperor, and asked a few Japanese generals, naturally they were people who had seen the Japanese emperor, and confirmed that it was correct. Only then did the Japanese emperor continue to wait at the door.

Because accepting the surrender of the Japanese emperor is what Fu Youde can do. Fu Zhong is even a son. Nor can they go past him.

Fu Zhong immediately came to Hosokawa Yorimoto's side, took the box from Hosokawa Yorimoto's hand, opened it and saw that it was none other than Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. 、

For this, Fu Zhong has actually been prepared.

Because there are only two prerequisites for accepting Japan's surrender.

It is a precondition, that is, the Japanese can surrender only after they have done these two things, otherwise the war will continue to be fought. These two things are nothing else, one is that the emperor personally leads the sheep, and the other is the head of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

The sheep salute is an unconditional surrender.

And everything is satisfied.

Fu Zhong had never seen Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but seeing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looking dead, he said with some curiosity: "Who killed him." ”

Hosokawa Yorimoto said: "I"

Fu Zhong asked, "Who is he?" ”

Someone around him immediately made Hosokawa Yorimoto's identity clear.

Fu Zhong said: "The same clan, the son of the minister of Tuogu, the most trusted minister, you Japanese are really good at playing." ”

Hosokawa Lai Yuan listened to Fu Zhong's words, suddenly smiled miserably, and said, "My lord, since I said so, I will give your adult an explanation." ”

He then pulled out a dagger from his body. Open the chest and abdomen, insert a knife into the abdomen, and then cut it horizontally. Blood splattered out, and Hosokawa Yorimoto gritted his teeth and slashed hard, but he was in great pain, but he couldn't die.

Japanese seppuku is usually beheaded, and it is because of this method of death that it is very painful and delayed for too long.

This appearance startled Fu Zhong, Fu Zhong thought that Hosokawa Lai Yuan was going to assassinate, and the whole person was ready to fight back, but he didn't expect it to be like this. He didn't know what to do, so he asked the people around him, "What's the matter with him?" Why is this all of a sudden? ”

For a while, many Japanese people don't drop their heads, they don't know the details, but they can guess some because of the family. ，
