The fire was burning in Kyoto, and everything had become uncontrollable. The only thing he could do now was sit in his general's palace and wait.
Waiting for that hopeless wait.
When Asahi Toshihide came in, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't even raise his eyes to look at him, but stared blankly at the pot of chrysanthemums in front of him.
Asahi Junxiu didn't know what to say to the general...
"It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly said this inexplicably.
Asahi Junxiu was startled for a moment: "Ah, yes, this is really a beautiful flower..."
"But it will wither soon." Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed: "Such a beautiful flower has attracted the attention of countless people, but now it will be broken and then thrown away ruthlessly. Asahi-kun,
Is Japan’s fate the same as this flower?”
Asahi Junxiu finally knew what the general was going to say, and he could only nodded silently...
"Okay, now please tell me how the situation is." Tokugawa Iemitsu cheered up and asked.
Toshihide Asahi stabilized his emotions: "The situation is not optimistic. The Ming army has entered Kyoto, and the fire is difficult to control for the time being. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Kyoto no longer has the determination to continue to resist."
"Really?" Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't look particularly surprised: "If they are unwilling to continue to resist, then let them go."
Asahi Junxiu hesitated for a moment: "Chifeng Xuancheng has also disappeared. Chifeng Lord either died in the battle or surrendered to the Ming Dynasty people."
Tokugawa Iemitsu's body trembled. This was the last thing he wanted to hear.
Akamine Nobuyoshi, like Asahi Toshihide, is an important minister of the Tokugawa family. He once placed unlimited high hopes on Akamine Nobuyoshi, but why did even Akamine Nobuyoshi betray him?
"What about you?" Tokugawa Iemitsu's voice was trembling: "When are you going to surrender to the Ming Dynasty people?"
"No, I will never surrender!" Chifeng Xuancheng seemed to have been greatly insulted. His voice suddenly became louder: "No matter how far the situation develops, I will always be with the General!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled happily: "Thank you, Asahi-kun. No matter what, I will always be with Kyoto City."
Suddenly, a guard rushed in in a hurry. He completely forgot about the proper etiquette: "General, sir, it's bad, Lord Idarigi is leading many people to forcefully break into the general's mansion!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu's body trembled.
Asahi Junxiu stood up suddenly: "What does he want to do?"
"Don't you know what he wants to do?" Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed: "Everything is over, and his best choice now is to take my head in exchange for the future of the Date family...
....”
"Bastard!" Tobi Junxiu shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, General, I would rather die in the hands of the Ming Dynasty people than suffer the humiliation of these traitors. I will definitely repel them for General!
"
"Please, Asahi-kun."
Tobi Junxiu walked out angrily...
The fire was difficult to control, and at this time Idarigi's envoy finally found Ding Yunyi. When he told Idarigi's intention, Ding Yunyi frowned.
The fire was really too big. How should I send troops to respond to Idarigi's people?
Whether Tokugawa Iemitsu can be captured alive or killed as soon as possible is of great significance to the offensive and defensive battle in Kyoto. This will to a large extent prevent Japan from organizing resistance in the future.
Ding Yunyi thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Bring me that Chifeng Xuancheng."
Chifeng Xuancheng didn't know what happened. Ding Yunyi said to him slowly: "You want to save your family, your wife and children. I can completely promise you this, but before that, I need your help."
I do one thing."
There is no greater sadness than heartbreak. This is the best psychological portrayal of Chifeng Xuancheng now.
Now that you have surrendered, you have lost all your reputation. No matter what the other party wants you to do, you must accept it. Complete the task unconditionally, and then continue to live in humiliation.
So when Ding Yunyi told him the mission, Chifeng Xuancheng nodded silently...
"Duan San, bring 500 elite soldiers to meet Idarigi. It's best if Tokugawa Iemitsu can be captured alive. If not, he must be captured alive." Ding Yunyi gave such an order with high spirits.
By now, tens of thousands of people in Kyoto have chosen to surrender, and the capture of Kyoto is now within easy reach.
In fact, to be honest, not only the soldiers of Huben Guards, but also Ding Yunyi did not expect that the Battle of Japan would go so smoothly.
Marching in three directions, although the resistance encountered in each way was very fierce, it was not too difficult. And the reason for all this is actually very simple:
Japan is already far behind.
It was not the Ming Dynasty that was far behind, but Fujian led by Ding Yunyi...
A contest between two different forces. One side is closed to the outside world, while the other side is striving to make progress. Once a war breaks out, the huge gap between the two sides will be exposed in the war...
...
The battle at the gate of the General's Mansion was fierce.
There are also several hundred guards in the general's palace, and the people in these guards never imagined that one day they would face an attack by their own people.
The warriors of the Date family went crazy and launched a wave of attacks on the general's palace, as if the people standing in front of them were not their compatriots, but their enemies.
The guards of the General's Mansion could not figure out why such a thing happened!
A wave of enemies surged up like a tide, trying to use human sea tactics to completely submerge the guards. The guards also knew very well what terrible consequences they would face if they lost this place.
But there were too many enemies, and the flood of attacks made the situation of the guards very precarious.
At this time, Toshihide Asahi arrived with reinforcements. Toshihide Asahi's arrival quickly stabilized the situation.
Although the Date family has a large number of people, they cannot compare with the elite guards of the General's Mansion. They come with a purpose and a sense of confidence. Once their offensive is thwarted, this confidence will disappear.
It will also be shaken quickly.
This is the so-called mob.
Another attack was quickly repulsed. Even Ida Benzon, the son of Idarigi, suffered a slight injury. Ida Benzon, who was panting heavily, had to ask his father what he should do now.
.
"Continue to attack!" Idarigi's answer was very firm: "There is no turning back when you open your bow. Since we have come to this step, we must persist no matter what. I have already sent people to reinforce Wu Liehou.
I believe they will arrive soon."
"Really?" Date Benzong seemed a little unconvinced that reinforcements would arrive so soon.
"You don't understand Wu Liehou." Idarigi seemed to be thinking deeply: "He wants to seize the entire Kyoto and quickly stabilize the situation. Then capturing the general alive is the best choice."
Date Honzon hesitated for a moment: "But there is a fire burning in Kyoto now..."
Idarigi smiled, a bit mockingly: "Don't forget, people like us in Kyoto are not just here."
Ida Benzong immediately understood what his father said. Yes, there are actually many, many people like them...
The attack began again, and Date and his son tried their best to mobilize the determination of the samurai to fight.
Crazy attacks swept past like a strong wind again and again.
As he fought hard, Toshihide Asahi's heart was filled with sadness. He really couldn't imagine why the other party was working so hard. If they had put this desperate effort into the defense of Kyoto, maybe they wouldn't be in such a passive situation now.
These are extremely hateful traitors... Asahi Junxiu let out a long sigh in his heart...
Toshihide Asahi and his guards were very dedicated. They desperately blocked the enemy's attempt to overwhelm the Shogun's Mansion, forcing the enemy to leave countless corpses outside the Shogun's Mansion.
Another attack was successfully repelled...
"Lord Asahi, Lord Date wishes to have an interview with you!"
A voice reached the ears of Chaobi Junxiu. Chaobi Junxiu was silent for a moment, but he still stood up. He saw Idarigi slowly walking towards here, and Chaobi Junxiu hesitated again. Then he also walked towards
Idarigi walked over.
When the two of them were standing only ten steps apart, Idarigi raised his voice: "Master Chaobi, everything is over, why do you continue to resist?"
"Because I'm not you!" Asahi Toshihide's words were full of anger and disdain: "Even if I fight to the last person, I will never live as humble as you."
"Yes, I am living humbly." Idarigi did not deny it at all. He was not even angry: "I also want to save Japan, but the methods you and I use are different. The Ming army has occupied Kyoto.
No one can stop it. Useless resistance will only lead to greater casualties. Do you really have to see the destruction of Kyoto before you will be willing to do so? I have met Wu Liehou of the Ming Dynasty several times, and he personally said
He promised me that as long as we give up resistance, he will not make things difficult for us and he will treat every Japanese kindly."
"Treat him kindly?" Asahi Junxiu smiled sarcastically: "Do you really believe what he said? Do you really think that Kyoto under the occupation of the Ming army will be the same as before? No, we were all subjugated slaves at that time.
We will live under the slavery of the Ming Dynasty people, and all of this was brought by your Marquis Wu Lie!"
Idarigi shook his head, feeling very sad for the other party's stubbornness: "It's better to live in humiliation and die like this. Lord Asahi, failure is inevitable, but have you ever thought about the aftermath of the war? Kyoto after the war.
, someone needs to step forward and rebuild a new Kyoto!"
Asahi Junxiu said with a cold smile: "So this important task must be handed over to you, right? So you have to choose to betray your country in a despicable way, right?"
"It is us. Idarigi patiently persuaded the other party: "It is us who will build a brand new Japan. A Japan that is quiet and prosperous without war."
Asahi Toshihide looked up to the sky and laughed. When he finished laughing, the sarcasm in his words became more profound: "It's great, a brand new Japan, a quiet and prosperous Japan without war. This Japan is a Japan that was invaded;
Those who rule this place are just a group of invaders. Is this your Japan? Is this the Japan of your dreams?"
Idarigi sighed, knowing that no matter how hard he tried, he could not persuade the other party to change his mind: "Then, from now on we are the real enemies."
"We have been real enemies for a long time!" Shunxiu Asahi kept sneering: "A country will have traitors, but it will also have loyal people. My head is right here, you can come and get it anytime, anywhere.
go!"
Idarigi turned around and left here. He knew that someone had to fall between him and Asahi Junxiu.
When he returned to his formation, looking at the expectant eyes of his son and subordinates, he shook his head silently: "Asahi Junxiu is really stubborn. He is unwilling to choose the same path as us, but I want to ask him to
Don’t worry, everyone, the reinforcements will arrive soon. Before that, I beg you to make another effort for our future!”
In fact, without Idarigi's mobilization, the people under him now know that they have no way out at this point.
As long as they can wait until the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrive, each of them will be the biggest contributor!
The crazy killing has reached a terrifying level, and now life is actually not that important anymore. Those who can survive will enjoy great honors, and those who die can only blame their bad fate.
Already.
The guards of the General's Mansion are also making their last efforts. They don't know when this persistence will end, but for them, every moment they persist brings an extra glimmer of hope to the General.
Asahi Shunxiu has always been fighting side by side with these guards. He knows very well that he will not be able to leave here alive today, but he does not particularly care. In his heart, he has already regarded himself as a dead person.
Tobi Junxiu vigorously waved the katana in his hand, killing the enemies that rushed up one after another. He didn't know how many injuries he suffered, but he found that he didn't feel any pain at all.
General, this is the only thing I can do for you.
Asahi Junxiu thought silently in his heart.
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, a burst of intense gunfire suddenly came.
Both sides were startled, and stopped what they were doing in unison.
Gunshots? Where did the gunshots come from?
At this time, a huge battle flag appeared in everyone's eyes:
