When Yang Zhen followed Thomas' footsteps and arrived at Shokei Palace, the female Emperor Ichinomiya, who was lying on the ground almost naked and covered in blood, was already dead.

In the dim Zhaoqing Palace, Thomas was yelling at Feridiric and the other Dutch musketeers and Uppanus who were present who had not even raised their pants.

Thomas' lecture was in Dutch, and Yang Zhen couldn't understand it either.

However, he could hear the sobbing and whimpering of Tokugawa Kazuko, who was curled up in a corner of Shokei Hall and was still naked.

After Yang Zhen saw the situation in the palace clearly, he picked up a scattered kimono from the ground, stepped forward, and casually covered Tokugawa Kazuko, who was covered in filth and curled up into a ball.

With just a glance, Yang Zhen noticed Tokugawa Kazuko's angry eyes filled with endless hostility.

Tokugawa Kazuko, who is in her thirties, has an extraordinary background, and Yang Zhen does not want to offend her.

In Yang Zhen's plan, after reaching a contract with the Tokugawa shogunate, he was going to return Tokugawa Kazuko to the Tokugawa family.

But now, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and the next thing will not be easy to handle.

"Captain Yang, my subordinates are simply a bunch of mindless idiots, but things have happened, and there must be a way to deal with them."

After reprimanding his men, Thomas came to Yang Zhen's side, saw Tokugawa Kazuko who was curled up in a ball with his clothes on, and said sadly:

"The queen of the Kouben people, the Japanese female emperor you call her, is dead. But except for this woman, no Japanese know about it. As long as this woman is killed, the news can be prevented from leaking.

"At that time, as long as the coalition forces insist on denying that we have ever captured the queen of the Kapen people, then our negotiations with the shogunate can still proceed normally, and no one will know what happened here."

Thomas Pedel's words shocked Yang Zhen.

I didn't expect this red-haired ghost to have such a scheming mind.

However, Yang Zhen immediately rejected Thomas's proposal.

"No, there is no need. The coalition forces want to reach a peace treaty with the shogunate, relying on the strength of the coalition forces, not these two women. Moreover, this woman has an extraordinary background. Killing her will not be conducive to the peace talks between the coalition forces and the shogunate."

After Yang Zhen said this, he saw that Thomas Peder seemed to want to say something more. He immediately pointed at the Dutch musketeers and the Upannu who were involved in the incident and said:

"How will Brother Thomas deal with them?"

"Disposal? Governor Yang, what do you mean? He is Feridiric who fought bravely today. He is the gunnery commander of Proven Check. The others are also warriors of Proven Check!"

When Thomas saw that Yang Zhen rejected his proposal and refused to kill Tokugawa Kazuko, the only one of the Japanese who knew the truth, he was already a little unhappy. Now that Yang Zhen pointed the finger at his subordinates, he immediately felt a little angry.

To him, his subordinates were the victors, so what happened to playing with a few captured Jiapen indigenous women?

Yes, these two Japanese girls have a special status, and their subordinates have gone too far, but I have already reprimanded them, how are you going to deal with them?

Do you still want to punish your old subordinates yourself?

"So, how many are there?"

When Yang Zhen saw that Thomas was obviously trying to protect his calf, he stopped talking about the red-haired ghosts at Feridiric, and pointed at the Uban slaves and continued to ask.

"them?"

Thomas looked at the Upannus and thought for a while, but then quickly said to Yang Zhen:

"If the Jiapen people pursue what happened here during the future peace talks, they will be handed over when the time comes. But now, the coalition is in a prime time to employ people, so let's wait until we escape!"

Although Thomas never regarded Upanu as human beings, and even regarded them as talking tools, at this moment, nearly half of his team were Upanu.

Although it didn't matter if a few were executed, after all, one less person would be killed, and the strength of the Dutch Musketeers was already relatively weak. At this time, Thomas didn't want to reduce the number of people due to this.

Of course, Yang Zhen didn't say anything more about Thomas' decision.

In fact, whether he insists on keeping Tokugawa Kazuko alive or allows Thomas to do nothing to deal with his musketeers, Yang Zhen has his own plans.

In the final analysis, his plan was to hope that the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Dutch East India Company would never come together.

Because if they come together, the one who will be in danger in the future will be themselves.

With the death of the female Emperor Ichinomiya, Yang Zhen and others' plan to break out of the encirclement could not help but be greatly advanced.

The Dutch musketeers who originally had objections to evacuating Kyoto so quickly, after learning that their own people had killed the Japanese indigenous female emperor, everyone began to worry about the crazy Japanese counterattack.

Therefore, there was no need for Yang Zhen and Thomas to mobilize again. After returning from Zhaoqing Palace with Tokugawa Kazuko, Yang Zhen immediately ordered the entire army to evacuate Kyoto in two groups.

The first group was led by Yan Shengsan, who escorted Emperor Gomizuo and other members of the Japanese royal family, walked through the east gate, ran to the Kamo River, met up with a group of troops guarding there, and then boarded a ship and took the waterway.

The other group was led by Yang Zhen himself, escorting the Japanese nobles and nobles, and took the south gate, the Suzaku Gate, letting the Japanese nobles and nobles walk in front as a shield.

Then, behind them were arranged the gunners carrying the artillery as well as the grenadiers and musketeers.

The gunners of the soaring cannon should lower their cannons at any time according to the situation and fire at the Japanese monk soldiers and the minister's servants who were blocking the way.

The grenadiers and musketeers followed closely, ready to repel those Japanese who dared to rush forward.

After everything was arranged, night had fallen, and more and more Japanese people gathered outside the Suzaku Gate in the Japanese Imperial City.

Sun Dengxuan, who led people to guard the Suzaku Gate and other places on the south wall of the imperial city, also had to start firing at the densely packed Japanese.

The original thick iron-clad wooden door of Zhuque Gate was shattered by the explosion.

However, after Sun Dengxuan led his men to occupy Zhuque Gate, he was not idle. He used the ruined gate tower scraps on Zhuque Gate to make a simple fence and placed it outside the large door opening, and placed several gates behind the fence.

Sky cannon and a considerable number of gunners.

However, the Japanese, who had already suffered a lot of losses, were not stupid. As soon as Sun Deng chose this side to fire the cannon, they immediately retreated and retreated out of the range of the cannon.

As soon as Sun Dengxuan stopped shelling, they eagerly moved toward the Suzaku Gate with their spears raised.

Yang Zhen hoped to use the darkness to evacuate, but the Japanese outside hoped to use the darkness to attack. Both sides regarded nightfall as a good opportunity to launch an attack.

Of course, Yang Zhen controlled the Japanese Emperor, members of the royal family, and nobles, so the initiative was always in Yang Zhen's hands.

Not long after the sound of cannons from the direction of Zhuque Gate, a fire suddenly broke out in the Japanese palace.

Previously, the reason why Yang Zhen did not allow the coalition forces to kill people and set fires at will in the Japanese imperial palace was because they had to wait until nightfall to evacuate. Once a fire was set in the imperial city during the day, they would lose this foothold protected by city walls on all sides.

.

Now that we are about to evacuate, we will naturally not leave this Japanese palace or even Kyoto to the Japanese.

The task of setting the fire was naturally left to Thomas Peder and his Dutch musketeers who were eager to destroy the corpses of the female Emperor Ichinomiya and Shokeiden.

Shortly after nightfall that day, the fire in the inner palace of the Japanese Imperial City of Kyoto first started at the Shogyeonjeon Hall, and quickly spread in all directions with the help of the wind. It didn't take long for the Daegukjeon Hall to be engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

A large number of young Japanese people gathered outside the Suzaku Gate. They saw a fire in the direction of the Daegoku Hall from a long distance away. They suddenly started shouting "board load" and "board load", like a surging tide, towards the already prepared fire.

Zhuquemen charged.

To be honest, Yang Zhen, who was standing on the Suzaku Gate commanding the battle, was a little uneasy when he first saw such a Banzai charge scene. He was worried that there were too many people on the other side and his own gunners, grenadiers and musketeers would not be able to bear it.

However, the facts proved that Yang Zhen's worries this time were still unnecessary.

Although the Long Live Charge of the Japanese pirates hundreds of years later was very terrifying, it was after all hundreds of years later, and they were all well-trained terrorists with advanced weapons in their hands.

The group of Japanese in front of us were nothing more than a group of armed servants who relied on the monastery or the nobles to make a living.

No matter how many there are, they are nothing more than a rabble.

As the Japanese rushed into the shooting range of the sky cannon with shouts of "ladder, laika", Sun Dengxuan himself immediately gave the order to fire the cannon without Yang Zhen's need to say anything.

This time we followed the ship to the Yodogawa River and brought with the army the Japanese cannons from Kyoto Castle. There were many flying thunder cannons, but the number of cannons that were actually carried into Kyoto Town by the gunners and finally entered the inner city of the Imperial Castle was not that many.

, only thirty gates.

At this moment, half of the city is on top and half is below the city gate.

Naturally, the first to fire were the fifteen guns on the top of the city, because they were located high up and could shoot farther.

Of course, after the fifteen gates on the top of the city opened fire, the fifteen gates below the city also opened fire and cannons almost immediately.

Just in the blink of an eye, outside Zhuque Gate, the place where Yang Zhen had stopped when he led his army to attack Zhuque Gate in the morning was covered by thirty explosive shells indiscriminately.

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

…

The violent explosions of the bombs were continuous. Some fell to the ground and rolled into the crowd before exploding, while others exploded above the heads of the crowd before they even hit the ground.

A large number of Japanese who shouted for the onboard charge were hit by the lead bullets that shot out in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers. They either fell directly to the ground or continued to stagger forward.

But after the artillery plowed the ground and reloaded, the battlefield in front of the Suzaku Gate did not become silent.

On the contrary, the grenadiers deployed by Wang Jun on the city walls on both sides of the Zhuque Gate completely filled the firepower gap of the artillery above and below the city during the reloading period.

Because everyone knew that this was the last battle before evacuating Kyoto, there was no need to save ammunition, so both the gunners and the grenadiers maximized their own army's firepower output.

The result was that another group of Japanese young men took advantage of Yang Zhen's sky cannon to reload ammunition and rushed to another group of young Japanese not far from the Zhuque Gate. They directly ran into the grenadiers and ignited the hundreds of missiles they dropped.

General.

The second batch of young Japanese who mustered up all the courage in their lives to rush here were immediately blown to pieces by the flying generals who flew down on the crowd, and fell to the ground wailing.

Some Japanese young men who were lucky enough to escape the flying general's shrapnel attack had just arrived in front of the fortifications at the city gate, and met head-on with the Dutch musketeers and the Jinhae Town musketeers deployed there.

Within a dozen steps, the musket is of course fast and accurate.

At this point, the lucky ones who had rushed through the area covered by artillery and the attack of the grenadier air generals finally came face to face with the muzzles of the musketeers, and no one was spared.

That night, such a scene only took place twice outside the Suzaku Gate. The young Japanese warriors, who had high morale and charged forward with Japanese swords and spears, dispersed outside the Suzaku Gate.

At this time, the fire inside the Japanese Imperial City was irreversible, the sky was full of fireworks, and it had even spread to several courtyards inside the Suzaku Gate.

Upon seeing this, Yang Zhen immediately issued an order to break out.

The destination of the breakout was the barren hill where the destroyed Fushimi Castle was located.

Fortunately, that place is not too far away. After exiting the Suzaku Gate, just head straight south.

In this way, after verifying that the Japanese monk soldiers and the servants of the wealthy Gongqing family did not have many iron cannons, and did not have large barrels to defeat the country, Yang Zhen was very relieved to let the Dutch musketeers take the lead in breaking out south.

At the same time, let all the gunners and grenadiers be in the center, and let the musketeers from Jinhai Town escort the prisoners and captures from the trip to Kyoto and follow behind.

About an hour later, around midnight, a group of thousands of people marched and fought all the way to the original landing place.

At this time, Yan Shengsan had already led the team that came out of the east gate of the Japanese Imperial City and took a boat down the Yamo River to arrive here early.
