Chapter 247: The Tokyo Incident
Tokyo Castle Castle.
When Lan Yu received the news of Li Wenzhong's victory, the whole person was stupid.
Unexpectedly, Li Jin actually arranged for Li Wenzhong to go to the south to block the returning army of the Ashikaga family.
Although it is said that the Ming Navy is extremely elite, Li Wenzhong can break the opponent's army of 260,000 with 60,000, which is already very remarkable.
This achievement made Lan Yu's eyes red with jealousy.
Unlike Li Wenzhong, who became famous at a young age, Lan Yu is still only a Yongchang Marquis.
Of course, now Yongchang Hou was also pushed to the end by Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Lan Yu didn't feel that his ability was worse than those countries.
Now Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao, Duke Xu Da of Wei, and Chang Mao, Duke of Zheng, Lan Yu is only very convinced of Xu Da, and other princes are not worth mentioning at all in his eyes.
It's just that now Li Wenzhong is downplaying and breaking through 260,000 Japanese captives, which makes Lan Yu a little incredible.
There are few fierce people who can sit in the position of the prince of the country, not to mention that Li Wenzhong is still a ruthless person who has been picking up a knife and slashing people since he was a child.
Lan Yu thought of this, and looked at Li Jin again, now that Li Wenzhong had defeated the Japanese army, then it should be up to him next.
Feeling Lan Yu's blazing gaze, Li Jin smiled slightly, and then said:
"Marquis Yongchang, don't worry, wait until Cao Guogong withdraws his troops, and then we will launch a general attack, so that nothing goes wrong."
Li Jin didn't say anything, but after finishing speaking, Lan Yu was even more anxious.
After all, it is Li Wenzhong's turn to do any good thing, and his blue jade was raised by his stepmother?
"Master Li, we now have 100,000 soldiers in our hands, why do we need Cao Guogong to take action personally?"
"Your Excellency will give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I will help Lord Li capture this city tomorrow!!"
Li Jin's face showed hesitation, and he didn't make a sound, looking a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Lan Yu said:
"Master Li has doubts? If you need Lan's help, you will not hesitate to make up your mind!! ”
Li Jin was overjoyed in his heart, what he was waiting for was Lan Yu's words.
Immediately, Li Jin told Lan Yu the plan he had been planning for a long time in his heart.
Who knew that after Lan Yu heard this plan, he was so frightened by Li Jin that he jumped up immediately.
Even with Lan Yu's audacity, he was scared out of a cold sweat by Li Jin's crazy plan.
"Master Li, this... It's really..."
"What? Is General Lan afraid? ”
Li Jin looked at Lan Yu with disdain and said:
"If General Lan is afraid, he should not say anything."
"Wait until a few days later, and leave this matter to Cao Guo to do."
"Who said I was scared ??!"
Lan Yu immediately stiffened his neck and said:
"It's just that this is really hurtful."
Then, Lan Yu seemed to think of something again, and asked uncertainly again:
"Does Lord Li have to do this?"
"In order for the Ming Dynasty to completely rule this land, this matter must be done!"
Li Jin said categorically:
"General Lan, if there is a difficulty..."
"Don't be embarrassed!!"
Lan Yu's face also changed to a ruthless color, and said directly:
"Since it is loyal to the country, Lan is willing to do it!!"
"Smack!!"
Li Jin directly high-fived and praised:
"General Lan is righteous, General Lan can rest assured in this matter, if there is any mistake, I am willing to bear it alone, and I will never affect General Lan."
Lan Yu said arrogantly:
"Since this matter is done by you and me together, how can you bear it alone, I am willing to share this matter with you."
Seeing this, Li Jin stopped grinding and began to talk about tomorrow's plan with Lan Yu.
...
The next day, the defenders of Tokyo City were horrified to find that the entire city of Tokyo was surrounded on all sides.
In the past, Li Jin was still surrounded by three and missing one, but now, the Ming 100,000 troops surrounded the entire Tokyo City.
In each direction, Ming cavalry patrolled around to prevent the Japanese from escaping the city.
The Japanese people defending the city knew that the next thing was to face the crazy attack of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Meiguang personally ascended to the top of the castle to boost morale.
It's a pity that Emperor Mingguang's luck is very bad, and as soon as he ascended to the top of the city, he met Lan Yu's personal army to attack the city.
Seeing the blue jade coming violently and murderously, the fiery red wave seemed to be about to submerge the entire Tokyo city.
In the end, Emperor Meiguang did not say anything to boost morale, and he was so frightened that he rushed back to the palace.
However, Lan Yu was wearing three layers of heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand, holding a short blade in his mouth, not avoiding the sword, with his own soldiers and many righteous sons, climbing upwards without his life.
Although the city walls of Tokyo City were tall and strong, under the attack of Lan Yu like a mad tiger, it did not even hold on for a day, and the eastern city wall was taken by the Ming army.
Emperor Meiguang believed that the general situation was gone, so he led a hundred civil and military officials to surrender to Li Jin, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to take over the four walls of Tokyo City.
In just one day, the capital of Wajima, which was guarded by 100,000 troops, fell to the city of Tokyo.
There are also remnants of the Ashikaga family who want to resist stubbornly, but they are personally strangled by Lan Yu, and the Ashikaga family of the Muromachi shogunate is wiped out by Lan Yu.
This was followed by the surrender of the 100,000 defenders in the city, who were ordered by Li Jin to unload their weapons, and then obediently tied their hands and escorted into the Ming army camp.
Since then, the city of Tokyo on Wajima has completely lost any ability to resist, and has been completely controlled by Li Jin's 100,000-strong army, and hundreds of thousands of people in Kyoto have been pinched by Li Jin.
Life and death are only a thought.
...
On the second day of the capture of Tokyo City, Li Jin asked people to write a recital to Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others to present good news.
Then, Lan Yu stood on top of the Tokyo city wall and asked Li Jin one last time:
"Master Li, do you really want to do it?"
Li Jin took one last look at the city of Tokyo, which was rich in Chinese architectural style, nodded slightly, mumbled, and stopped talking.
Lan Yu knew that the matter was irreparable, so she immediately went down and began to make arrangements.
That night, 100,000 Japanese slaves in the Ming army camp rioted, killing and wounding hundreds of Ming soldiers.
Fortunately, Lan Yu appeared in time, which prevented the Ming army from suffering greater casualties.
Immediately, Li Jin ordered that all the Japanese prisoners who participated in the riot be trapped.
Of the 100,000 Japanese captives, 90,000 were buried alive on the spot, and 10,000 escaped into the city.
In order to avenge the Ming soldiers, Li Jin immediately ordered the blockade of the eight gates of Luoyang, Tokyo, and launched a carpet search in the city.
However, the Japanese people in the city refused to cooperate, and some people even launched a sneak attack on the Ming soldiers, resulting in the death of dozens of Ming soldiers.
Enraged, Lan Yu immediately issued an order to slaughter the entire Tokyo City.
The 100,000-strong wolf-like Ming army launched a 10-day bloody purge of more than 200,000 Tokyo City.
When Li Wenzhong, Zhu Di, Xu Da, Zhu Biao and Liu Bowen came to the most prosperous city on the original island, they saw dead bodies all over the city and a river of blood.
More than 200,000 Japanese people, from the 70-year-old to the children under the age of 10, were all slaughtered by the Ming army.
The whole city was filled with blood, and ten miles away, the blood light that rushed to the sky did not disperse for a long time.
This massacre, which shocked China and the rest of the world, was clearly recorded in the history books of the Ming Dynasty, known as the Tokyo Incident.
Historical records: In the fifth year of Hongwu, the Japanese wanted to rebel, but fortunately they were shocked by the Duke of Liangguo, stopped the riot, and buried 100,000 corpses. The destruction of Tokyo, 300,000 Japanese people, all of them were spared, because of the Tokyo Incident.
