The "Scoffee" is a mysterious ship, but Ding Yunyi, who is commanding all the loyal and brave Tiger Guard soldiers in a bloody battle in Japan, does not yet know that such a ship is slowly approaching Japan.
Ding Yunyi, who captured Gaogang City, must now face a problem:
Red Rock Mountain!
Although it took the shortest time to capture Chishi Mountain, we have to admit that the method of Shangchuan Lake has achieved certain results. Takaoka delayed the Ming army's advance to a certain extent.
Now, the defense of the entire Chishi Mountain is roughly complete.
If the Huben Guards want to pass through Chishi Mountain and take Kyoto directly, they will have to pay a certain price. But obviously Ding Yunyi is not prepared to do this.
Fighting does not necessarily require a strong attack to win...
The Japanese traitors once again played a huge role.
In any country, there will always be traitors. For their own benefit, these people will always betray the national interest without hesitation. This is true whether it is the Ming Dynasty or Japan.
Ding Yunyi did everything possible to find and cultivate the traitors, and did everything possible to get all the information available from their mouths.
And those Japanese traitors did not disappoint him.
The hidden path was spoken in the mouths of those traitors...
"Right here!" Pointing to the march map, Ding Yunyi said with a smile on his face: "If we send a team of three hundred people, we will be able to successfully get behind the Japanese pirates and give them a severe blow! But commanding this
The general of a team must be bold and careful."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Li Dingguo intentionally or unintentionally...
As if feeling Ding Yunyi's call, Li Dingguo stood up first: "Wu Liehou, let me go!"
Ding Yunyi smiled and nodded. In his mind, no one was more suitable for this task than the young Li Dingguo: "Dingguo, carefully select 300 people from your musketeers and set off immediately, before the opponent has any chance.
Discover this path and enter it first. At noon the day after tomorrow, we will prepare to launch an attack. Once the front becomes stalemate, if a surprise force appears from behind them, it will give them the heaviest blow!"
"Yes, I understand!"
"There is one more thing you have to do for me." Ding Yunyi was silent for a moment: "There is a man named Shangchuanhu. Catch him back for me!"
"Yes!" Li Dingguo's answer was loud and resounding...
...
Red Rock Mountain.
The entire defense has been roughly completed, and Aida Sho is quite confident, because he is convinced that Kamikawa Lake can help him defend this place.
But Shangchuan Lake's mood was not relaxed.
The attack speed of the Ming army was really too fast. Although he knew that the Ming army would attack Japan sooner or later, he never thought that this day would come so fast!
Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi!
This is my biggest enemy in life...
No matter where he goes or what he does, he has only one purpose: revenge!
Everything that happened in Penghu will never be forgotten for the rest of his life. It was his greatest shame. Every time he closed his eyes, he would wake up from the nightmare soon.
He knew that there was only one way to solve his heartache, and that was to completely kill Ding Yunyi! But this task seemed too difficult at least from now on.
Ding Yunyi's power is getting stronger and stronger...
Aida Sho is just like Shimazu Mitsuhisa, just a pawn for his own use!
But the question he faces now is, if this chess piece is lost again, where can he go? There is still no clear answer in Shangchuan Lake.
The only hope is that we can hold on to Akaishi Mountain for a while longer, delay the Ming army's attack a little longer, and buy enough time for the entire defense of Kyoto.
Now I am afraid that the only country that I can use against Ding Yunyi is Japan...
...
Kyoto.
Tokugawa Iemitsu finally got the news about the Ming army's massive "invasion" of Japan. When he learned the news, he was stunned.
It's terrible. This is really terrible. But how is this possible? Where did Japan offend the Ming Dynasty, which made the Ming Dynasty send troops in anger?
Soon he got the answer:
Japan openly assisted the Filipinos in Luzon and plotted to assassinate the Ming generals!
Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't even know what was going on?
Conspired to assassinate the Ming generals? Who sent them out? But it must not be you!
His subordinates also looked at each other in confusion.
But the confused Tokugawa Iemitsu quickly vented all his anger on his subordinate Idariki.
When the Tiger Guards launched a large-scale attack on the Satsuma Domain, it was Idariki who sent an envoy to the Satsuma Domain on his behalf, bringing him a guarantee that the Tiger Guards would not invade Japan.
But what now? But what now?
The Tiger Guards are wreaking havoc on the land of Japan...
And they actually sent out troops in three directions! It was clear that they wanted to destroy Japan! Tokugawa Iemitsu angrily reprimanded Idariki, but now the reprimand could not solve any problem.
His ministers looked at each other in shock, obviously they were also shocked by this terrible news.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been any plan to attack Japan. Even when the samurai plundered the coastal cities of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty only repelled them.
But what happens now?
Faced with the loud accusation from His Excellency the General, the important minister Nishijima Takae said: "According to the intelligence from the front line, this time the Ming army used troops in three directions with a fierce momentum, and it was only the Tiger Guards who invaded Japan. Therefore, I can roughly judge that this is about
It’s not likely that the Ming Dynasty court meant it, it was probably an action carried out by the Tiger Guards privately, so I don’t think it’s anything terrible..."
"Asshole!" Tokugawa Iemitsu interrupted him loudly: "There is nothing to be afraid of? Now those damn Tiger Guards are wreaking havoc on the land of Japan. If there is really nothing to be afraid of, then please go to Nishijima
Defeat them!"
Nishijima Takae swallowed all the rest of the words back into his stomach in one go.
Tokugawa Iemitsu turned his attention to the mature and steady Asahi Shunshu. Asahi Shunxiu was silent for a moment: "Since the enemy has arrived, it is useless to panic. Now the general must remain calm in order to keep the whole of Japan
Everyone calm down. I think that based on the current situation, we must divide it into three steps. The first step is to immediately send envoys to the Ming Dynasty capital to inform the Ming Dynasty emperor of the situation, and use the power of the Ming Dynasty court to force the Huben guards to follow
Evacuate from Japanese soil.”
"Would the emperor of the Ming Dynasty do this?" Tokugawa Iemitsu frowned.
"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty may not know it, but his ministers will definitely know it." Junxiu Chaobi answered very definitely: "I heard that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were very greedy, so I asked the general to give me a large sum of treasure.
.Leave it to a shrewd envoy to bribe those Ming Dynasty officials. After accepting our benefits, they will definitely use all kinds of pressure to force the Huben Guards to withdraw..."
Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded: "Then what?"
"Then send people to the Tiger Guards' army to condemn and negotiate." Toshihide Asahi continued: "Although this is not very useful, it can find out the Tiger Guards' true intentions. This will allow them to judge their
What do you want? So that we can make timely adjustments!"
"I'll leave this matter to you!" Tokugawa Iemitsu threw this hot potato to Idariki: "It was you who believed the enemy's words, now it's up to you to make up for this mistake."
Idarigi took on the task bravely.
"The last point is to prepare for the worst." Toshihide Asahi said slowly: "Now the enemy has captured Takaoka. Once they pass Akaishi Mountain, Kyoto will be under the most direct threat. Please ask, General
Meet His Majesty the Emperor immediately!"
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor?" Tokugawa Iemitsu became hesitant.
"Yes!" Toshihide Asahi answered without any hesitation: "His Majesty must be informed of the current situation, and at the same time, in the name of Your Majesty, we call on all Japan to rise up against this aggression. With your Majesty's call, everything will become beneficial to us.
At the same time, Your Majesty the General, you can arm the army and organize the men, women, and children of Kyoto to prepare for a tough defensive battle. As long as we can defend Kyoto, everything may turn around!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu thought carefully for a long time, and then stood up suddenly: "I will go to meet His Majesty the Emperor right away. And you, go arm the people of Kyoto! The moment that determines Japan's destiny has arrived!"
The so-called emperor of Japan of this generation is very strange because she is a woman:
Emperor Meisho of Japan!
Emperor Meisho was born in the ninth year of Genwa in Japan. His father was Emperor Gomizuo, and his mother was Minawako. Minawako was actually the daughter of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second generation general of the Tokugawa shogunate. Emperor Meisho's childhood name was Okiko, so
Before he came to the throne, he was also called Prince Koikouchi. When Koiko was born, the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate was already very stable. When Koiko was born, his father, Emperor Gomizuo, was 28 years old, and his mother, Kazuko, was 17 years old. Generally speaking, Koiko was born.
There is no possibility that the emperor will ascend the throne in a short period of time, not to mention the possibility that the emperor will give birth to another male heir. Even if he does not, there will still be years until the emperor dies at the age of 28. From the appearance, Emperor Gomizuo is very interested in
The relationship between Empress and Empress was good. In 1625, her sister, Prince Akikonai, was born. In 1626, her brother, Prince Takahito, was born and made the crown prince. In 1628, Prince Takahito died, and her younger brother, Wakamiya, was born (shortly afterwards).
Death from illness.
After Kouko, Emperor Mizuo had two more sons born, but they did not grow up, so Kouko had a chance to ascend the throne.
Originally, Xingzi could live a stable life as a royal daughter, but soon the famous "Purple Clothes Incident" occurred. "Purple Clothes" is a symbol of honor and status awarded to monks, and it was clearly stipulated by the imperial court in the "Forbidden and Public Laws"
Purple robes cannot be awarded privately, but awarding purple robes to monks is a major source of income for the imperial court, so Emperor Gomizuo awarded purple robes to more than 70 monks at one time. Therefore, the Tokugawa shogunate responded quickly, and Tokugawa Iemitsu gave the order to Kyoto
Itakura Shigemune, the head of the department, announced that in the future, anyone who violates the provisions on purple clothing in the "Public Laws and Regulations" will be removed from office and punished. The imperial court stated: "In the future, we will never do such invalid things again."
The incident came to an end temporarily, but the "Kasuga Bureau's visit to the shrine" that followed completely changed the life of Prince Kokouchi. Kasuga Bureau was the daughter of Rizo Saito and the wet nurse of the third-generation general Tokugawa Iemitsu.
Not long after the "Purple Clothes Incident" occurred, the Kasuga Bureau went to the capital to pay an audience to Emperor Gomizuo under the instruction of the shogunate. However, the traditional rule is that only people with official positions above "the fifth rank" can enter the palace to pay an audience to the emperor. Of course, Kasuga Bureau could not do so.
She had an official position of five or more, but due to pressure from the shogunate, Emperor Gomizuo had no choice but to receive her.
Later, many eminent monks who received purple robes from the imperial court were exiled for refusing orders from the shogunate. After the "Purple Clothes Incident" and the "Kasuga Bureau Visitation Incident", Emperor Gomizuo felt greatly insulted, but he was unable to carry out other resistance activities.
He announced his abdication, and Prince Oikouchi, who was related to the Tokugawa family, ascended the throne and became the 109th emperor in Japanese history - Emperor Meisho. The year was 1630.
As a relatively rare female emperor in Japanese history, Mingzheng was actually unwilling to sit in this position. She knew that she simply could not shoulder such a responsibility.
And after this woman who reluctantly became the emperor took this position, something that she and the whole of Japan did not want to see happened: the Ming army invaded Japan in a large scale!
After hearing the news, Mingzheng was completely confused. Like Tokugawa Iemitsu, he couldn't believe it at all.
"The situation is already very bad, Your Majesty." Tokugawa Iemitsu tried his best to maintain his composure in front of the emperor: "The enemy divided into three groups to invade in large numbers, and has occupied a large number of our lands. And in front of Kyoto, Aida Sho is
Commanding the defense of Akaishi Mountain, however, once Akaishi Mountain is captured by the enemy, Kyoto will face the most direct threat."
"What should we do now, general?" Mingzheng looked a little flustered.
Tokugawa Iemitsu said what his retainers wanted, and Mingzheng said after only a brief thought: "General, please do what you want to do. I will personally call on everyone in Kyoto to take up arms and resist."
The enemy invades. If necessary, I will also take up arms and go to the battlefield if this can bring victory to Japan!"
"With your Majesty's full support, I think we will be able to win." Tokugawa Iemitsu encouraged the Emperor's confidence: "In history, Japan has been invaded by the powerful Yuan Dynasty, but we also achieved victory. I
I believe this time is no exception. With the blessing of Amaterasu, the final victory must belong to Japan!"
He is encouraging confidence in the emperor, and at the same time, he is also encouraging confidence in himself. Although he does not know what the final result will be, he firmly believes that Japan will never perish in his own hands!
