Chapter 1127: The End of Toyotomi (7)
The second day of the seventh month.
Wu Nian led fifteen infantry troops and ten thousand soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Edo Castle. Military camps are being built by the Ministries. Wu Nian led Wang Gui, Yasuyamaya, Hojo Clan and others out of the military camp to see Edo Castle ahead.
In his previous life, Wu Nian had never been to Tokyo. But I also learned about the prosperity of Tokyo through various channels. But at this moment, Edo Castle is not as prosperous as Edo Castle.
Quite primitive.
Same as Osaka.
The real Edo Castle, in a central location, is protected by a moat. There are majestic and strong walls. The tallest of these buildings is the castle tower.
Outside of Edo Castle, there is the town of castle.
According to the spies of the Imperial City Division, the news heard by the detectives. At present, there are still 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the people in the towns under the city have run out.
"The King. Do you want to send troops to demolish the castle town first, and prepare for the siege. Wang Gui looked at Edo Castle, which was even more majestic than Osaka Castle, with a solemn look on his face, and turned his head to ask Wu Niandao.
"Nope. Toyotomi's prestige is almost ruined. How long can the lonely city be held? If the widow expects it to be true. It won't be long before Edo Castle collapses on its own. There is no need to tear down people's houses. ”
Wu Nian shook his head, and then ordered, "Set up camp outside the city today." Let Kyogoku Michizo, Kumamoto Ninji and others lead 100,000 households tomorrow to sweep away the lands that have not yet surrendered to the widows except Edo Castle. ”
"Yes." One of Ouchi's guards answered, and rode down.
Wang Gui thought about it too. As long as you conquer all the lands of Fuso, you surrender to all the daimyo. There is only one isolated city left in Edo, how can Toyotomi Daikichi not be defeated?
Wu Nian led the crowd, and after looking at Edo Castle for a while, he rode back to the barracks.
Great minds think alike.
Toyotomi Daji was not bad, and Wu Nian divided his troops into two ways. Progress is also extremely smooth. Under the siege of Fuso generals such as Kyogoku Michizo and Kumamoto Ninji.
Including the Hokkaido region, the entire land of Fuso was captured by the Han army. The daimyo and samurai either seppuku or surrendered.
Fuso.
This country, which has never been attacked by foreign enemies, is only one step away from being completely broken by Wu Nian.
Edo Castle.
And the city has also been shaken.
Night. Outside Edo Castle.
The Han army's large camp of 50,000 households is located in five directions. Between the camps, there is a fairly wide space. Edo Castle was not sealed.
Cheng. Wang Gui camp.
Although the victory was only one kick away. However, the guard of the Han army was still tight. Whether it was Wu Nian or Wang Gui, they did not allow themselves to capsize in the gutter at the last moment.
Ouchi's guards wore armor and spears, stared and raised their ears, standing guard and patrolling the camp.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Wu Nian was wearing a purple robe and sitting on a handsome seat. The oil lamp on the long case is bright. With the help of the light, Wu Nian carefully looked at the letter in his hand.
This is a letter sent by a genealogy daimyo of the Toyotomi family in Edo Castle.
Same as Osaka Castle.
Edo Castle began to crumble from the inside.
After reading the letter, Wu Nian put it down, didn't give any instructions, reached out and pinched the middle of the person, showing fatigue, and after taking a breath, he stood up and entered the inner tent to rest.
Edo Castle is different from Osaka Castle.
This is the base camp of the Toyotomi family. Recently, he has received a lot of letters of surrender. But it's hard to distinguish between the real and the fake, so let's wait for a while before acting.
It has been three years since the sea crossed the sea to attack Fuso. Not bad for this last bit of time.
As Wu Nian fell asleep, the inner guards who were serving beside him carefully left the inner tent with the oil lamp, lowered the curtain, and guarded the outer tent.
Three years.
Three whole years.
At this point, Wu Nian slept very peacefully.
Toyotomi Daikichi tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night.
Edo Castle. Oku, Toyotomi Daikichi's bedroom.
Toyotomi Daikichi went to sleep after a long period of suffering. Suddenly, a cacophony rang in his ears.
Then, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Toyotomi Daikichi immediately opened his eyes, lifted the futon and stood up.
"Da-da-da-da." The little surname who was guarding outside the door immediately pushed the door and walked in. Kneeling down and saying with a frightened face, "Your Excellency General." The third pill and the second pill all sounded shouting and killing. But it is not known who rebelled, nor is it clear the size of the rebels. ”
Toyotomi Daikichi is calm.
His death, after the fall of Osaka Castle, was just around the corner.
Now, it's just the time.
"Tell Keiju, Katakura, do what you want."
"Also. Bring the white garments. I'm going to seppuku. Toyotomi Daikichi lowered his head and said calmly to the little surname.
"Yes." Xiao Xiao opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, held back his tears, lowered his head in response, and turned to leave.
Soon after, a group of small surnames walked in. The futon in the room was removed. There is a small surname to help Toyotomi Daikichi put on white clothes and prepare a blade specially used for seppuku.
The swordsmanship master of the Toyotomi family, the famous great sword hero Kozaburo Sakamoto, held the famous sword of the Toyotomi family [Three Days and Moons] and stood aside respectfully.
Toyotomi Daikichi took one last look at the world, his eyes open and his essence flickered as he approached the shouts of killing.
Immediately, he held the blade in his hand and stabbed his arms into his abdomen with force.
After completing the cross cut, he turned his head with difficulty, lifted a sweaty iron blue cheek, and nodded at Kozaburo Sakamoto.
Kozaburo Sakamoto took a deep breath and chopped off Toyotomi Daikichi's head with Mikazuki Konmune in his hand.
Then, Kozaburo Sakamoto came to Toyotomi Daikichi's body, touched his knees to the ground, and fell down on the tatami mat.
Meanwhile. There were samurai who set fire to the Honmaru in Edo Castle. Not long after. The entire Honmaru was engulfed in flames.
The blazing flames prevented the rebels from entering the Honmaru.
It also made the Toyotomi family in the Honmaru die in the fire.
Early the next morning.
Wu Nian, under the protection of many Ouchi guards, came to Honmaru and looked at the scorched earth that was still smoking, and the charred corpses that had been excavated.
In such a situation, even if you know that Toyotomi Daikichi may have already seppuku.
But I can't recognize who is the body of Toyotomi Daikichi.
Because there are many samurai who have seppuku.
Wu Nian turned his head to the Hojo clan and said, "No matter how you say it, you are also the overlord of Fusang." Find a place with good feng shui and bury them. Erect a monument and write Toyotomi one door. ”
"Yes." Hojo clan masa bent over should be. Looking at the tragic situation of the Toyotomi family, a sense of joy welled up in his heart.
I think back then, Hojo Ichigomi was attacked by the Toyotomi family, and he also ended up like this. The descendants of the descendants, except him, are dead.
It's really a heavenly cycle, and retribution is not happy.
"The King. The minister got the news. Grandson of Toyotomi Daikichi. Toyotomi Yoshimasa, Toyotomi Yoshida brothers. Before Edo Castle was besieged, it was taken away by the Iga ninja and its whereabouts are unknown. ”
At this moment, the Wind Demon walked to Wu Nian's side, and bent down with a solemn face.
Wu Nian's gaze froze.
Hojo Massa's face showed a look of surprise.
