Lu Xuan's army attacked and noticed Tokugawa Ieyasu's order to withdraw. Because of previous experience, he did not go to Tokugawa Ieyasu this time. He tried to recruit as many Japanese prisoners as possible to surrender.
The Japanese prisoners were all money.
These people are sent back to China, and after they are sold, they will go into the Ministry of Household Finance.
Only in this way will domestic resistance be smaller. In addition, external expansion has brought benefits, brought territory and interests, making many domestic people willing to develop outside, which can also further alleviate future domestic conflicts.
This is beneficial and harmless.
Of course Lu Xuan would not stop it.
I am like honey and he is like arsenic. Lu Xuan does not have the heart of the Holy Mother. He knows that in the current environment, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is even less likely to have the heart of the Holy Mother. The starting point for Lu Xuan's consideration will only be the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
, will only be the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Everything is promoted around this foundation.
Just like this, Lu Xuan ordered the troops to surrender.
Even so, Lu Xuan did not stop Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun and others from carrying out the assassination. Most of the Japanese were willing to surrender, but many were unwilling to surrender and were still resisting.
The stubborn Japanese can only be exterminated.
The fighting continued, and it took three and a half hours for the battle to end. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun returned with the escorted prisoners to count the losses and results of the battle.
It was almost early in the evening when everything was finished. Cao Cao, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun went to the Chinese army's tent to meet with them.
After the three people saluted Lu Xuan, Cao Cao reported: "Your Majesty, this time we fought with Tokugawa Ieyasu's army and achieved unprecedented results. The number of Japanese killed was not too many, more than 4,600. We
More than 18,000 Japanese were captured. The gains captured this time were greater than the gains from the Battle of Guangfu Castle and the Battle of Toyama Castle combined."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up and he praised: "Very good, where are our casualties?"
Cao Cao replied: "Our casualties are not large, with 836 people killed in battle. Although the number of casualties among our soldiers is quite large, our current military strength is enough to support us in destroying the Japanese country."
Lu Xuan started to think.
In the battle of Guangfu City, a few were lost. In the battle of Toyama Castle, a few more were lost. This battle was the most brutal, with more than 800 casualties and more than 1,000 casualties.
.
The current battle with Tokugawa Ieyasu has been temporarily victorious, but there is still a long way to go before Tokugawa Ieyasu's Kyoto base camp.
Therefore, the source of troops is the key.
Lu Xuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, we want to govern the Japanese country, rule the Japanese country, and assimilate the Japanese country, and we need further population. Once our population is weak, it cannot be changed."
"Based on the previous strategy, I think further adjustments are needed."
"First, all the women from the Japanese country are kept and will not be sent back. They must be kept in the Japanese country, or given to soldiers, or to people who immigrate later. All the Japanese male prisoners we captured will be sent back."
"Second, tell people in the country that as long as you come to Japan, you can send women and arrange marriages."
"Third, the conditions agreed before remain the same. Whether it is ordinary people or scholars, there are different arrangements."
Lu Xuan said: "In short, it must be very attractive to the people in the country. As long as more people come, one or two generations later, this will be our territory of China and it will be an inseparable part."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "I obey your order!"
Lu Xuan said: "In general, this is the arrangement for the time being."
"Report!"
At this moment, another soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, the latest information has been sent from the direction of the port. Please read it."
Lu Xuan took the letter from the soldier's hand, looked at it and smiled.
Cao Cao smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, was it the port that eliminated Tokugawa Ieyasu's ambush?"
"Yes, everything is solved."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Tokugawa Ieyasu was trying to destroy our battleship, but he only sent more than 300 people. These people came out, approached the battleship, and were killed in one fell swoop."
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "After solving these Japanese, the future troubles will be solved. Let's rest for a while and then continue to advance."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "After we rest, we will postpone the troops. First, the soldiers will recuperate. Second, we will arrange for sentries to inquire about the situation in Kyoto. Third, and most importantly, we will arrange for people to escort all the prisoners back first.
.Otherwise, keeping it will be a waste of food and grass."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Cao Cao nodded.
He agreed with Lu Xuan's arrangement. A steady and steady approach was the most suitable.
However, Cao Cao did not leave. He looked a little hesitant, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Lu Xuandao: "Does anything else happen to my father-in-law?"
Cao Cao couldn't help but said: "Today's conversation between His Majesty and Tokugawa Ieyasu, for a moment..."
At this moment, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also looked over.
Both of them were very curious.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "It's just a lie to Tokugawa Ieyasu, it's not worth mentioning."
The curiosity in Cao Cao's heart was extinguished in an instant, which made it clear that Lu Xuan was unwilling to talk in detail. Under this premise, Cao Cao stopped asking questions, stood up and said: "I leave!"
"I resign!"
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also left together.
Lu Xuan nodded and watched Cao Cao leave.
He smiled in his heart. It was impossible to say that he traveled from the next life. In today's conversation with Tokugawa Ieyasu, Lu Xuan revealed some vague information, which caused him to be the reincarnation of a god in everyone's eyes, or something else.
of the divine reincarnation.
This can make everyone feel more in awe of him.
It will help Lu Xuan further regain power.
There have been gods since the Qin and Han Dynasties, or before the pre-Qin Dynasty. Therefore, Lu Xuan is full of mysteries, and the people below are more in awe of Lu Xuan. Although there will be curiosity, most people are in awe of Lu Xuan.
This has more advantages than disadvantages.
When Riku Xuan's army was stationed in place, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had already retreated far away, retreated until late at night before ordering a stop. He found that no Riku Xuan's pursuers were coming from behind and ordered Tsukuma Kazuo to count the losses.
After taking stock, Tsukama Kazuo had a bad premonition on his face.
The reason is simple: the losses are too great.
Tsukauma Kazuo stood beside Tokugawa Ieyasu in a dignified manner and reported: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the number of troops we escaped from this battle is only about 9,680."
"idiot!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu shouted loudly.
He couldn't help but get angry.
Historically, Tokugawa Ieyasu's rise to power was very similar to that of Sima Yi, who was always patient. When he was a child, he was taken away by Oda Nobunaga's father and followed Oda Nobunaga.
.
When he grew up, he became independent. He was a daimyo and the leader of a country, but he still had to endure Oda Nobunaga. Because Oda Nobunaga was too powerful, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't tolerate him at all.
Even if he killed his wife and son, Tokugawa Ieyasu could not bear it.
After suffering Oda Nobunaga to death, Tokugawa Ieyasu tolerated Toyotomi Hideyoshi and allowed Toyotomi Hideyoshi to run rampant. Seeing him building a tall building, seeing his building collapse, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, Tokugawa Ieyasu finally showed his strength.
Teeth, sweeping all forces.
Now, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't bear it anymore.
More than 40,000 people participated in the battle, but were crushed by Lu Xuan, suffering heavy losses, and only more than 9,000 people returned, which meant that many people were captured.
This result was intolerable to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"thump!"
Tsukama Kazuo knelt on the ground.
He looked horrified and asked for forgiveness: "Your Majesty the Emperor, in the final analysis, the responsibility for this war lies with the sinner. It was my improper planning that caused Lu Xuan's army to land on the shore. Please forgive me for your Majesty the Emperor."
Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes changed. There was anger, murderous intent, and various eyes appeared constantly.
Eventually, everything converged.
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Tsukauma Kazuo and ordered: "The person who makes the specific decisions is me. You just provide strategies. If you want to ask for your crime, shouldn't you first deal with me? At this point, there is no need to plead guilty.
, get up."
"I thank His Majesty the Emperor for your kindness."
Tsukaima Kazuo quickly thanked him.
He felt a little relieved and stood up respectfully. Having been stared at by Tokugawa Ieyasu just now, cold sweat broke out on his back and his clothes were wet.
Tokugawa Ieyasu said in a deep voice: "What we have to consider now is not to plead guilty, but to consider how we should deal with Lu Xuan? We must stabilize Lu Xuan and let Lu Xuan give us a chance to recover."
Speaking of Lu Xuan, Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart was even more clouded.
Lu Xuan knew him.
But, he didn't know Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan knew his relationship with people like Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so Lu Xuan was extremely mysterious. Now that he was going to fight with such people, Tokugawa Ieyasu felt a little scared and felt very unsure.
Tsukauma Kazuo said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we withdraw to Kyoto and summon troops from all places to rush for reinforcements. Everyone gathered in Kyoto, with at least 100,000 troops, enough to fight."
Tokugawa Ieyasu thought in his mind.
Recruiting troops for combat operations must be arranged no matter what. It is a basic arrangement.
He is still worried.
Lu Xuan's offensive was too strong. In the battle at Toyama Castle, his city defenses were broken. In the battle at the camp near the port, Tokugawa Ieyasu was on the defensive side, but he was still defeated by Lu Xuan, and the army suffered heavy losses.
Back in Kyoto, although there were troops, Tokugawa Ieyasu was still worried that he would not be able to stop him.
Seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu's hesitation, Tsukauma Kazuo asked: "Does His Majesty the Emperor have any instructions regarding the battle with Riku Gen?"
