Chapter 1288 Jia Heng: It seems like a female emperor? (Please vote for me)
Tamba Castle
At this moment, under the lime-covered city wall of Qingyan Strip, a large number of Han soldiers were carrying ladders, wearing heavy armor with chains, and their bows, crossbows and arrows were raining down on the city wall.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
Accompanied by the crisp sound of arrows hitting the blue bricks, many soldiers were hit by arrows and their faces were dripping with blood.
The Jurchen soldiers and horses in this city were mostly Han flag men and horses, led by Wang Shixuan. The real elite Jurchen soldiers were only four thousand, led by Tong Tulai, the commander of the Jurchen capital.
Looking down at the fierce Han army attacking like a ball of flames, Wang Shixuan looked worried and whispered: "There are too many Han soldiers and horses under the city. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken."
Tong Tulai said: "Let the Japanese in the city help defend the city."
Wang Shixuan pondered for a moment and said: "No, these Japanese have a grudge. If they turn against them, the situation will be even more difficult."
A cold light flashed in Tong Tulai's eyes, and he said: "Even if it only consumes the arrows of the Han people, it will be good."
Wang Shixuan heard the words, said yes, and then ordered his men to recruit Japanese people to go to the city gate to help guard, of course, mainly to carry rolling logs and rocks.
On the other side, in a military tent five miles away from Damba City, there were white tents, like clouds in the sky, and the tents were crowded with people, including high-ranking generals of the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng, the Duke of Wei of the Han Dynasty, was discussing with his generals, discussing the preparations for attacking the city.
"Relevant artillery and muskets have been sent by mules and horses. Hongyi cannons can bombard the city. Then the troops climb up the ladder to the city and they will surely capture the city." Under Jia Heng's sword-browed eyebrows, he glanced at the generals below and stared at them.
Xiang Shuiyu said in a deep voice: "Shui Jiedu, you can lead ten thousand soldiers and horses to attack the east gate of Danba City. There must be no mistakes."
With superior military strength and firepower, this battle can be won with just upright soldiers.
Shui Yu looked solemn, raised his hands and said yes.
Jia Heng said loudly: "General Wei, you lead 10,000 troops and attack the city from the south."
Weche also clasped his fists in response.
Jia Heng then raised his head, glanced at the people present with a pair of calm eyes, and said solemnly: "The remaining troops and horses will follow my commander, attack from the southwest of Damba City, and bombard Damba City! There must be no mistake!"
Everyone present said yes.
Then, Jia Heng issued the order, and the Jiangnan Navy and Denglai Navy received the military order and began to act quickly.
At this point, the Han army's large-scale siege began.
"Boom!"
The roar of cannons almost shook the surrounding areas, and the smoke filled the air with an awe-inspiring murderous intent.
This was a siege battle with characteristics of modern warfare. Artillery fire rumbled. Amidst the bursts of gunpowder smoke, shells fell on the top of the city. The exploding shrapnel sliced open the Jurchen Eight Banners in an instant.
The body of a soldier.
And the air wave shook the Jurchen soldiers into the air like a broken sack.
In a small house downstairs of Damba City Gate, several people were talking together.
At this moment, Tong Tulai's head was buzzing. He looked at the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers on the city wall who were busy in the city. Under his thick eyebrows, his eyes were full of shock. He turned to look at Wu Shoujin aside.
Worried: "Old Wu, the Han people's artillery fire is too fierce. If this continues, it is not a good sign."
Tong Tulai had never seen this method of going up first and bombarding them.
At this moment, the entire Danbo City had been lowered by almost half a foot, and the city walls were full of holes. There were no Han troops yet.
Then, amid the rumble of artillery fire, the Han soldiers of the Jiangnan Navy and the Denglai Navy began to carry ladders and charge towards Dambo City.
Jia Heng stood under a large banner of the Chinese army, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the soldiers in bronze armor with spiked nails above the city, resisting the attack of the Han army.
Wei Wang Chen Ran also looked at the city with a monocular telescope. He seemed a little stunned at the moment and said: "Zi Yu, this Hongyi cannon is really an important military weapon. It can attack cities and plunder territory. It is so sharp."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Fire guns are not only used on sea ships, but also used in land battles. They can also attack cities and land, and attack cities."
King Wei Chen Ran nodded, with traces of lightness also visible on his handsome and fair face, and said: "What Zi Yu said is true, this kind of artillery fire is more lethal than a trebuchet.
.”
This fire blunderbuss is indeed a weapon for the military. Especially during this period, he saw that there was a team of fire blunderbuss beside Zi Yu. Under the volley of blunderbuss and bullets, they were invincible.
When will he also have one?
After a period of indiscriminate bombing, it seemed as if a layer had been cut off the top of Tamba City, and the turrets were blown to the side, with bricks and dust falling down.
The flags were also ablaze, and several large holes were vaguely visible.
A large number of Han soldiers carried ladders, and under the cover of artillery fire and crossbows, they climbed up to Danbo City. Several figures jumped from the crenellations into the city wall, and met with the already bombed Wumi Sandao.
The elite Jurchen soldiers fought together.
At this moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Seeing this scene, Tong Tulai felt a little inexplicable fear in his heart, and shouted: "Come here, come with me and kill them to drive away the bandits!"
Immediately, many soldiers around him responded with a promise, drew their swords, and broke into the large number of Han troops who had gradually gained a foothold.
"Dang Dang!!!"
Just like this, the swords clashed with each other, and the "pop" sounds of the blades entering the flesh were heard one after another. The Jurchen soldiers and navy sailors fell into a pool of blood, and their fate was unknown.
Some navy soldiers rushed to the city wall and opened the city gate.
Then, a large number of soldiers from the Han Navy were seen, wearing armor and holding steel knives, pouring in from the city gate almost like a tide, drowning the elite soldiers of the Jurchen Eight Banners.
At this point, Tamba was lost!
Wu Shoujin led his troops to meet the enemy. Not far away, he raised his eyes and saw a tall young general with a young face. He was waving a saber in his hand. The blazing sword was shining brightly, and wherever he passed, there were stumps
Broken arms, blood raining everywhere.
Wu Shoujin frowned, his chubby face was full of anger, and his heart was furious. He stepped forward, walked a few steps quickly, and chopped off the young general's head.
Jia Fang raised her eyes and saw the person, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and she went up to him with a shining steel knife in her hand.
"clang!"
The two swords struck each other, causing sparks to fly and screams to be heard.
But the expression on Wu Shoujin's bearded face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
In the past two years, Jia Fang has killed two generals in a row, and his martial arts and self-confidence have grown rapidly. Now his sword skills are becoming more and more proficient.
After all, Wu Shoujin was old and frail. Not long after, he was retreating steadily under the repeated slashes of Jia Fang's long sword. The surrounding soldiers wanted to surround him and save him from the critical situation, but there was no way.
All you can see is that Wu Shojin was hit several times by Jia Fang's saber and fell to the ground.
At this moment, as the Jiangnan Navy and Denglai Navy poured into Danbo City in large numbers, the elite soldiers of the Jurchen Eight Banners, although brave and skilled in fighting, were still retreating, and it was clear that the situation was over.
In the evening, as the sun set in the west, Jia Heng and Wei King Chen Ran entered Danbo City in large numbers, accompanied by Jinyi Tiqi and elite soldiers from the Beijing camp.
In the city, the infantry of Jiangnan Navy and Denglai Navy began to clean up the traces of the battle in the streets and alleys, collecting broken swords and guns, and lifting up corpses one after another.
"My lord." At this time, Jia Fang led a group of soldiers to the front, clasped his fists and said, "The remaining enemies in the city have been eliminated."
Jia Heng's eyes were warm and he asked: "What was the result of this war?"
Jia Fang clasped her fists and said: "Gui Guogong, the Jurchens have about 10,000 soldiers and horses, annihilated 6,000, and 2,000 surrendered. However, Tong Tu Lai led about 1,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners and fled. The Han army's flag commander Wu Shojin was under the command of a low-ranking officer.
Behead."
Jia Heng nodded and praised: "Well done."
Among the young generals of the Jia family, Jia Fang should be the one who has grown the fastest. I am afraid that it will not be long before he can be entrusted with big things.
There was a hint of joy in Jia Fang's tone as she said: "My lord, in Dambo City, the Jurchens have previously accumulated a lot of grain, which can supply the army."
Any time a large number of soldiers cross the sea to attack, the supply of food and fodder is a big problem. If we can provide food to the enemy, it is actually a good thing.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Let's go into the Yamen to talk."
While talking, Jia Heng, accompanied by a group of soldiers and retinues, entered Danbo City in a grand manner. One can see wooden houses standing among them, with cornices and cornices.
This is a standard wooden roof beam structure with an antique shape and the house is not very high. It was originally the residence of a daimyo.
Jia Heng, accompanied by a group of soldiers, generals and retinues, entered a hall with a plaque "Mingde Hall" hanging on it and sat down.
King Chen Ran of Wei said: "Zi Yu, now that Danbo City is down, what's going to happen next?"
Jia Heng said: "Let the soldiers rest for two days and send someone to contact the emperor first."
At this time, Tokugawa Tsusushige, who was sitting not far away, quickly added: "The Emperor fled from Kyoto to Satsuma Domain, Duke Wei, if possible, I would like to go to Satsuma Domain and raise an uprising with the Emperor who fled there.
Flag, calling on the Japanese feudal lords and samurai to fight back to Edo together."
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, he looked at Tokugawa Tsunashige curiously with cold eyes, and said: "Is this emperor the Emperor Meisho?"
He remembered that this emperor was Emperor Meisho or who he was? He seemed to be a female emperor. She ascended the throne at the age of five and abdicated at the age of nineteen. She remained unmarried and died alone.
It can be said that he is a relatively clean and aloof emperor.
Tokugawa Tsusashige raised his eyebrows, and his face couldn't help but froze for a moment. Apparently he didn't know how Jia Heng knew Mingzheng's name. Then he thought about it, maybe it was mentioned in the official credentials.
He paused and explained: "Emperor Meisho abdicated seven years ago, and the current emperor is Emperor Goko."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Then let the two emperors come to Tamba City and order the feudal lords and warriors to respect the emperor and fight against the barbarians."
With that said, Jia Heng looked at Jia Fang aside and said, "Go down and send five thousand troops to Kyoto to attack the city."
Jia Fang looked solemn, raised her hands and said yes.
Tokugawa Tsunashige left Tanba City accompanied by several servants. Wei King Chen Ran said: "Ziyu, do you plan to order the names of all the vassals as the master of the Japanese?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The Japanese country was previously ruled by the emperor, and the shogunate presided over government affairs. Now that the emperor orders the name, I, the Han Dynasty, can save a lot of money by garrisoning here in the future."
Regarding the long distance between the two places, inconvenient transportation, and high cost of governance, in fact, if you calculate the distance from Shenjing to the Japanese Kingdom, it may be similar to the distance to Lingnan and western Guangdong.
Wei Wang Chen Ran looked thoughtfully, nodded and said: "Since Ziyu is confident, he might as well act accordingly."
Jia Heng said: "This is only a temporary matter. If we can connect North Korea and Japan through sea trade in the future, and ships can travel between the countries in the future, we can exchange what we have."
At that time, a trade system dominated by China would probably be formed, instead of the simple tribute system of the past.
Then, the Han court's Jiangnan Navy and Denglai Navy divided their forces into several groups and attacked the city that had originally fallen into the hands of the Jurchens.
…
…
Japan, Edo Castle
Aobai and Azige led their troops to occupy this magnificent and antique city. At this moment, they came to the shogun's residence. On the green and white stone steps, the blood seemed to have not been wiped clean, and there was a hunting feeling.
The bloody smell rises in the air.
Azig sat on a soft mattress covered with cushions where Tokugawa Iemitsu originally sat. He looked around and asked, "You haven't found the general of the Tokugawa family yet?"
Obai frowned and said, "Prince Ying, I heard from his men that he escaped from the sea by boat. His troops are chasing him, but he probably won't be able to catch up at this moment."
Edo Castle was originally built on the sea. Before the city was destroyed and the war was in chaos, the two brothers Tokugawa Tsunashige and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, escorted by elite generals and soldiers, had fled to sea on a building ship.
As for people dying together, don't even think about it.
Azig furrowed his brows into the character "Chuan" and said: "In the past few days, the Duke of Wei of the Han court has led his troops behind. At this moment, he is sending troops to attack the city we previously occupied."
Obei said: "Those cities in the past gave up when they needed to transfer grain and crops."
Azig said: "Damba City must not be given up. Otherwise, there will be only Edo City, and our army will become a lone army from now on, hanging outside the island, unable to make a sound."
Oboi nodded and said: "The men who went to Kyoto to capture the emperor said that the Japanese emperor had escaped. They wanted to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes, but now it is difficult to implement it."
Originally, the result of the discussion between Aobai and Azig was to coerce the emperor to order the princes. This was actually a strategy in the Three Kingdoms script.
Azig said: "That's all, if it really doesn't work, we can only rely on my Jurchen son to fight his way out."
Obei said: "Prince Ying, the ships that should be prepared should also be prepared. If nothing happens, you should lead the soldiers back to Shengjing, Liaodong."
Azig nodded, agreeing with what Obai said.
The tens of thousands of Eight Banners elites at present can be said to be the essence of the Qing Dynasty, and they cannot all be consumed endlessly here.
Of course, if we could defeat the Han army from the expedition in one fell swoop, these would not seem to be a big deal.
Azige pondered for a moment and said: "However, if we can completely defeat the Han navy, we can completely occupy the Japanese country. At that time, we can cross the sea and attack Korea, and the rise of the Qing Dynasty will not be far away."
It was okay if I had never been here before, but now that I have personally experienced this land, I naturally covet it.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that unless there is a big change in the Han Dynasty, this situation of confrontation between the Han and the captives will continue for a long time, and it may last for a hundred years in the Liao and Song Dynasties.
The Manchus also need to open up their own living space and replenish their blood packs for the long-term confrontation in the future.
At this time, a Manchu Qing commander named Baha, who was Obai's second brother, strode into the hall with a solemn expression. He cupped his hands and said: "Prince Ying, brother, the sentinels have discovered the Han forward."
Troops and horses have arrived at Edo at this moment."
Azig and Obai looked at each other, and both noticed some shock in each other's eyes.
So fast?
Azig said: "Let's go to the city gate tower to have a look."
While they were talking, Prince Azig and Obai went to the city gate tower and looked into the distance.
After a gap of two or three months, the British princes Azig and Oboi also saw the familiar flags with Chinese characters fluttering in the wind.
…
…
On the other side, southwestern Kyushu where the Satsuma clan is located——
After half a month of traveling, Tokugawa Tsusushige and Kinkifu guards escorted him to the manor where the Satsuma clan was located.
The manor where the Shimazu family is located——
It is the autumn season, and the maple leaves are like fire, swaying in the wind, like billowing flames.
At this moment, the governor of the Shimazu family specially prepared a residence similar to the imperial palace for Emperor Meisho and his sister. It was magnificent and magnificent. A string of wind chimes hung on the eaves were ringing. Under the autumn sunset, the golden light of the wind chimes shone.
Burning its brilliance.
Emperor Meisho was wearing a dress embroidered with maple leaves, his arms were crisp and white, and his skin was dazzling.
Although this prince does not apply makeup, his pure and beautiful aura is concentrated between his eyebrows. He is beautiful and attractive, especially his plump figure, but his eyebrows are covered with a trace of ignorance and innocence like a little girl who is not familiar with the world.
Emperor Meisho ascended the throne at the age of five. He has always resisted the invasion of external disturbances and was able to maintain his inner peace. Therefore, he can see through the world and has the innocence of a little girl.
"Sister, Tokugawa Tsuna is back." At this moment, the current Empress of Heaven, Emperor Komei, entered the wing and looked at the picturesque Emperor Meisho.
Emperor Meisho put down the book in his hand, stared at the young man, and said: "Isn't Edo Castle ruined? Isn't Tokugawa Tsunashige..."
"I heard from Shimazu Mitsuhisa that he went to find Duke Wei of the Han Dynasty," Emperor Gomitsu said.
"Duke Wei." Beauty Xiuli raised her eyebrows and murmured with her pink lips slightly parted.
After a while, a servant from outside came into the hall and said: "His Majesty the Emperor, Governor Shimazu invites you to come over."
Emperor Hou Guangming said softly: "Sister, I will go over first."
Emperor Mingzheng nodded his head. Under his bun, his beautiful eyebrows were as green as black and his bright eyes were as bright as water. He watched Emperor Mingming leave.
It seems that the changes in the external situation cannot cause any change in Emperor Meisho's mood.
In the front hall, Mitsuhisa Shimazu, the lord of the Satsuma Domain and the current governor of the Shimazu family, said angrily: "The Tokugawa family is selling out my Japanese interests to the Han people."
Tokugawa Tsusushige said in a low voice: "The Jurchen Tatars were burning, killing, looting, and killing the people in the country. The vassals and the Ming Dynasty were unable to stop them. Now that the Han navy has arrived here, how can we not attract help?"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa said: "I have previously contacted Mouri Tsunamitsu of the Choshu Domain, and we have agreed to send troops to Jianghui."
Tokugawa Tsunashige said: "The Jurchens have been unable to resist the Jurchens since they landed at Nagato. Now they are joined by Han soldiers and horses. How can they win?"
Previously, after Obai and Azig led the Jurchen Eight Banners to land at Changmen, the Changzhou Domain suffered a big defeat. In order to avoid the Jurchen attack, they fled to Chiqian.
Later, Jurchen elites continued to attack Zhou Fang, and the Changzhou clan lost a lot of territory and food.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa frowned and was silent for a moment.
Edo naturally wanted to be restored, but it could not be left to the Tokugawa family and it needed to return power to the emperor.
Thinking of this, Shimazu Mitsuhisa looked deeply and said, "Since the Han people have sent an envoy, what are the conditions?"
Tokugawa Tsunashige said: "Help defeat the Manchu Tatars, but we must garrison Edo."
"This is impossible." Shimazu Mitsuhisa paused slightly and said in a deep voice.
Tokugawa Tsunazhong said: "The Chinese court is a country of etiquette. As long as we surrender, accept the imperial edict, and are not as cruel as the Jurchens, in my estimation, the troops will be stationed for a short time before returning to the country."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa looked gloomy and uncertain, and his mood was inexplicable.
Tokugawa Tsusushige said loudly: "At this point, is there any other choice? Now our Yamato clan has reached a critical moment of national subjugation and extinction."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa sneered, pondered for a moment, and said: "Looking at it today, to be in such a situation today, your Tokugawa family is the sinner of the entire Yamato clan!"
Just as the two were making impassioned speeches, the servant outside said: "The Emperor is here."
The two people who were arguing had no choice but to remain silent.
This foreign war dungeon will not be too long. It is mainly to quickly pull back the timeline of the seventeenth year of Chongping through a war scene that is not too lengthy, so that the New Deal can be completed, and then the Jurchens can be defeated and the princes can be crowned.
