Chapter 846: Let's Face the Reality
After the young man Lai Pi returned to the Chinese military tent, he heard Wang Bi say in a deep voice:
"Don't think that unconditional surrender is the worst outcome, and the worst outcome is not to accept it! There is a world of difference between the two, at least the vast majority of you can save your lives, and even have a chance to keep your glory and wealth! ”
"You have already missed the opportunity for conditional surrender, do you want to miss the opportunity to surrender unconditionally?" Wang Bi then said word by word:
"From the time our army officially attacked Ono Castle, we no longer accepted surrender."
He waved his hand and said, "Send off!" ”
"Please!" The soldiers put on a straight face and stretched out their hands to invite them out.
Several envoys had no choice but to retire.
Yang Shiqi sent them to the west gate, and the envoy asked him through an interpreter: "After the official siege of the city, do you really not accept surrender?" ”
Yang Shiqi said: "Actually, last year, my emperor sent an envoy to give an ultimatum. You didn't pay attention to it at the time, and it is said that you should no longer accept your surrender. It's just that our Highness has the virtue of a good life and gave you another chance, but you still don't cherish it. There is a saying in my Celestial Empire, repeat it again and again, and don't repeat it. Do it yourself. ”
"We have two million people in Kyushu, and if we really want to resist to the end, with your little strength, we can consume you all!" A samurai finally couldn't help but say angrily.
"I have four million troops in Damingguang, and we are just a small vanguard." Yang Shiqi smiled coldly and said:
"Now that we have found out your truth and truth, there is nothing to worry about, do you think our dynasty will continue to increase troops?"
...... "The samurai wanted to say that we still have Honshu and Shikoku in Japan, but when I thought of the tragic situation in the Kanmon Strait, I couldn't say anything anymore.
"The appetite of a hundred thousand troops is completely different from the appetite of a ten thousand troops." Yang Shiqi said earnestly: "Think it through yourself." ”
"Thank you." I nodded heavily
"Oh yes." Yang Shiqi seemed to have only remembered it at the end, and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you something, the Goryeo Kingdom already knows about our army's attack on Japan. Their king and regent Li Chenggui are actively writing to our emperor to allow them to send reinforcements. ”
"Huh?!" A few envoys couldn't hold back when they heard this, and Shao Er Lai Pi said excitedly: "What does it have to do with them?!" ”
"Goryeo is already a province of my Daming, how can it not matter?" Yang Shiqi said lightly: "Besides, Goryeo has suffered from Japanese troubles for many years, and there is an account from top to bottom that is counted with you." ”
"......" This is what the Japanese are most afraid of.
One is that they had a mortal enmity with Goryeo, and when the Yuan Dynasty attacked Japan, the whole country of Goryeo made great efforts. Later, when the Japanese invaders retaliated, they did not dare to provoke the Yuan Dynasty too much, for fear of attracting the Yuan Dynasty to attack Japan for the third time.
Therefore, the Japanese have been staring at the weak and cheap Goryeo sack, and every time they pour out of the nest and go deep into the territory of Goryeo, the king of Goryeo, who often beats, leaves the capital and hides in the north.
If the Koreans were to counterattack Japan, they would definitely have to retaliate frantically.
Moreover, in the hearts of the Japanese, being defeated by Daming and surrendering to Daming is actually relatively easy to accept, and even many people have a faint feeling that my father is back.
But if you are ridden on the head by Koreans to and pee, it is absolutely unacceptable.
"Absolutely never let them come!" The Japanese said in unison.
"Then it depends on which of you is fast." Yang Shiqi, His Royal Highness's understanding of the Japanese is really thorough, and he knows all their pain points.
~~
In the next few days, the Ming army shifted its position in an orderly manner, and on the other hand, carried out the final sack of Dazaifu.
Now not only the emperor, the prince, and the young family have been scraped clean. It's already the turn of the homes of ordinary Kyushu tyrants......
When the Ming army set up the artillery in front of Ohno Castle and was ready to open fire, Ohno Castle finally raised the white flag with a twist.
Then, under the gaze of the 10,000 Ming army, the city gate slowly opened, and a number of high-ranking officials of the Southern Dynasties, such as Nijo Kyori, Shaoji Yoricheng, Otomo and Shimazu Yoshiguro, went out of the city in white clothes and surrendered.
That Prince Huailiang was also put in a prison car and given to the Ming army.
Wang Bi rode on a tall horse, and watched with an indifferent expression as the Erjo Sect Lai Lai, accompanied by the young two Lai Cheng and the relatives of the Great Friend, bowed down through the gun array composed of two rows of Ming military spears, and came to him.
Nijo Kyolai knelt down and offered the table of surrender.
"You are the king of Japan?" Wang Bi asked in a deep voice.
"No, the lower official is the Japanese Sekihaku Nijo Sect." Nijo Lai replied respectfully.
"You are not qualified to surrender to your king." Wang Bi said lightly.
"Forgive me, General, we ...... His Majesty the King is sick and cannot be worshiped in person. Erjo Jiaolai hurriedly said: "In my country, the king does not care about the affairs of the world, and General Guan Bai does it for him. ”
Wang Bi had expected this, and His Royal Highness had already told him that the emperor had the status of a demigod in Japan, and it was a matter of faith, and he would never come forward easily.
He lowered his face and said: "If the king does not come forward to surrender in person, what is it called unconditional surrender?" Then please go back, and it will not be too late to surrender when he is well. ”
Having said that, the speed at which Hu Bo took over the city defense with the Ming army was not slow at all.
"This ......" Erjo Jiaolai and the others looked embarrassed when they heard this, they had all read the history books of the Celestial Empire. I know that in the Celestial Empire, when a country surrenders, the monarch must wear a plain cloth, wear a cloak and a seal, and personally go out of the city in a sheep cart to surrender.
But they don't have that rule. A few people stubbornly explained that the emperor was a god on earth, and he never needed and could not be humiliated in this way.
Wang Bi listened patiently for a long time, and when he saw that the Ming soldiers had taken over the city defense of Daye City, he snorted according to His Highness's orders: "It's okay if he can't serve him if he's sick, so hand over the three artifacts." ”
Saying that, he said impatiently: "All the kings who surrender must hand over the national seal, your national seal will not be sick and unable to see people, right?" ”
Nijo Kyolai didn't expect that they even knew about the three artifacts, so he had to plead with a bitter face: "The divinity of our king's divinity comes from the three artifacts, and the king can't be called a king." ”
"Isn't this nonsense, isn't the jade seal of any monarch all of them functional? Do you have to be special? Yang Shiqi, who was beside Wang Bi, said at this time: "Besides, two hundred years ago in the Battle of Tanzhipu in the Guanmen Strait, your King Mingde jumped into the sea with one of the three artifacts, the Tiancong Cloud Sword, and the kings behind them all used fakes to make up the numbers, and they didn't delay them from becoming kings?!" ”
"......" Erjo Jiaolai almost fainted, this time the people of the Ming Kingdom really came prepared, and they knew their history too well.
The Tiancong Cloud Sword is indeed a fake, so those myths about the emperor are self-defeating.
It's just that everyone needs this demigod to maintain the existence of the country, so they all choose to ignore this.
But when the Ming people pierced the truth, it was finally time to face reality.
