Chapter 447: The Dog Has Been Found
Coming out of the palace, at this time, the entire palace of the Japanese Kingdom was in a mess, and you could see zero-yuan purchases everywhere, including but not limited to: gold and silver, cups and jars, and women.
There are screams and wails everywhere, and such a scene will inevitably be severely condemned by various countries in the world in the future, and it will inevitably be attacked by some peacekeeping troops, but this era focuses on the family of soldiers and bandits.
Since the day he landed on Sado Island, I don't know how many times such a scene has happened, and at first he was a little unbearable to look at it directly, but now he is used to numbness, Xia Yuan's heart has no waves, and he is not interested in doing any moral construction.
Even if you want to do it, it will be later.
He looked back at Emperor Kashiwahara to see how the emperor of the Wa Kingdom reacted.
But I saw Hou Baiyuan hanging his head down, escorted by several soldiers, silently, and moving forward slowly.
Xia Yuan glanced at it a few times, and then turned his head back, the imperial palace of the Wa Kingdom did not occupy a large area, about one-fifth or one-quarter of the area of the Forbidden City, and in a few moments, a group of hundreds of people walked to the palace gate.
There is still a steady stream of soldiers pouring in at the palace gate, and it seems that the enemy situation encountered is not serious, and it may just be the invasion of the surrounding daimyo.
After all, the war drums I heard earlier were used to boost morale at war, not to assemble the whole army.
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Xia Yuan suddenly thought of something, and his steps slammed suddenly, "Go to the personal military order, tell those people inside, when you leave, remember to tear down this palace gate for me." โ
"The one at the back called Chengming was also demolished."
These two gates, each with a plaque on it, written in Chinese, one on the Pingtang Gate, the other on the Chengming Gate, especially the main gate called the Pingtang, to say that there is no sinister intentions of the Japanese people, he is the first to not believe.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The enemy situation is indeed not serious, and when Xia Yuan and his party rushed to the city gate where the sound of fighting came, and climbed the city tower, they saw the battlefield where the fierce battle was raging under the city.
The army did not use all the troops to attack the city, even if the city was broken, not everyone entered the city, there were still more than 20,000 Ming troops and tens of thousands of Korean troops guarding the camp, at this time outside the city, it was these soldiers who stayed behind to fight with the enemy.
Judging from the sound of drums, the war should be short, the number of the Japanese army is about tens of thousands, in fact, it is very easy to distinguish, and the Japanese army is not big or small and has dealt with several times, these Japanese camps will often be painted with different patterns of banners.
These different patterns, of course, are the respective family crests of the Japanese people, and in this part of the Japanese country, if you don't have a family crest, you are embarrassed to go out and greet people.
Xia Yuan looked into the distance, trying his best to see the patterns on the flags, and was sure that it was the first time he saw it, and he didn't know where it came from.
At this time, the Ming army, which had the advantage in numbers, had formed an encirclement of the Japanese army.
"Ashikaga clan ใฎ็ด็ซ ใงใ."
A murmuring voice attracted Xia Yuan's attention suddenly, and they turned their heads to look at Emperor Go-Kashiwahara who spoke, "What did you just say?" Do you know the Japanese army down here? โ
The previous situation was not very pleasant, and Hou Baiyuan didn't want to talk to him, but after being silent for a while, he said, "I know." The flag was the coat of arms of the Ashikaga family. โ
"Oh." Xia Yuan suddenly sighed and asked again: "Which is the Ashikaga family?" โ
"Your Excellency doesn't know?"
"Listen to what you mean, I seem to know, what's the matter, the Ashikaga family is very famous?"
Hou Kashiwahara looked at him inexplicably, "The Ashikaga family is the shogunate today. โ
"The shogunate? Kamakura no, Muromachi shogunate? โ
โ.โ Hou Baiyuan was silent, he felt very inexplicable just now, in his opinion, Xia Yuan has an understanding of the Wa Kingdom, after all, he knows about the mistake, but he didn't expect to know who the Ashikaga family is.
After answering himself, he came to the Muromachi shogunate again.
This feeling is like a Japanese person who knows a certain aspect of Chinese etiquette, knowing that the current dynasty in China is the Ming Dynasty, but not knowing that the Ming Emperor's surname is Zhu.
"Yes."
After receiving this confirmation, Xia Yuan's expression became intriguing, and he seemed to smile and said: "I thought that your Muromachi shogunate had been abolished, but I didn't expect to be able to make up these tens of thousands of people, since there are still these tens of thousands of people, why don't you defend the city with you?" โ
According to the book of war, ten are to besiege it, five are to attack it, and multiple times it is to fight, and the law of attacking the city is only a last resort.
If the Ming army attacked the city, there were tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in the city, and the difficulty of the previous siege battle would have risen several notches anyway, of course, the result would not change, and the city would still be conquered by the Ming Dynasty.
But the difference is that the Ming Dynasty needs to invest all its troops, which takes several days, but more than ten days, and there are many casualties during this period.
At this time, the city was broken for at least two hours, and the Ashikaga family led the army to rush over, which was really a great help from God.
However, he was very curious about why the Ashikaga family was late, and why the city was broken and ran back.
โ.โ
Faced with this question, Hou Baiyuan was silent, Xia Yuan stared at him for a while, and then said: "You said, if I hang you on the city gate tower, I will order someone to shout the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom."
Before he could say anything, Hou Kashiwahara spoke: "The current head of the Ashikaga family is Ashikaga Yoshisumi, and he led the army to crusade against the Uesugi family half a month ago, but he went to hunt down Ashikaga Yoshinori, so he is not in the city." โ
Ashikaga Yoshisumi and Ashikaga Yoshiki are two very similar names, which naturally attracted Xia Yuan's attention, "These two surnamed Ashikaga are a family, it sounds like they are quite close, why did this head of the family chase and kill the one named Yoshiki?" His wife let him sleep? โ
"Ashikaga Yoshisumi is the son of a political intellectual. Ashikaga Yoshinori was the son of Yoshiki of the clan, and he was also the previous shogun of the Shogunate, the head of the Ashikaga family. The chase and killing was Yicheng in order to sweep away the troubles and prevent Yicheng from being supported and competing with him for the throne. โ
Hou Baiyuan replied in a stiff Chinese dialect in detail and patiently, and it could be seen that the emperor did not want to be hung on the castle tower, and his desire to survive was very strong.
Xia Yuan is not difficult to force others, he never forces others to do what they don't want to do, which is very rude.
For example, the previous Japanese emperor's request to surrender, he could have ordered someone to tie a horse to the emperor as soon as he entered the main hall, and escorted him away, but he was still patient and waited for him to take the initiative to surrender.
That's the matter of politeness.
And now after listening to Hou Baiyuan's big words, he suddenly became thoughtful, the clan family, the family, one is the current shogun, and the other is the previous shogun.
This plot, if you process it well, you can make a TV series.
Xia Yuan's eyes looked at the city, divided, supported, co-opted, and accepted as a dog.
He felt that the dog had found it, and he had found two at once.
PS: I will end the plot of the Wa Kingdom as soon as possible, in fact, it is quite difficult to write, I have never written a war drama, I can't write it, it is inevitable that the look and feel of writing is not good, end it as soon as possible.
