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:
The brave and loyal tiger guards!
With a "boom", Tobi Junxiu's head exploded. It's over, it's over, it's completely over this time, there is no hope for the General's Mansion anymore!
But cheers suddenly burst out from the mouths of the Date family warriors!
Come, come, finally come, the reinforcements that have been waiting so hard, they finally showed up when they needed help the most!
These soldiers of the Huben Guards, half holding muskets in their hands, half holding spears, swords and shields, holding the battle flag fluttering in the wind, rushed towards us like a tide with indomitable momentum.
From this moment on, the fate of the General's Mansion is irreversible!
The warriors of the Date family were very smart at this point. They quickly dispersed and made way for the soldiers of the Tiger Guard.
The Tiger Guard soldiers carrying muskets quickly raised their guns under the cover of their companions...and then, intensive gunfire rang out.
A row of guards from the General's Mansion fell down, but soon a new row of guards rushed up. The only thing they could do now was to use their own lives to block the enemy's attack.
However, life is always limited. When the last one of them falls, what else will they use to defend their general?
Junxiu Asahi sighed in despair. He firmly grasped the katana in his hand and rushed forward aimlessly without shouting.
His ending was the same as everyone else's. He died under the gunfire of the Ming army...
A samurai beside him who died later than him seemed to hear a sigh from his throat. Maybe until this moment, Asahi Shunxiu felt that he could let go of all responsibilities.
Almost all the guards in the General's Mansion were dead. The entire battlefield suddenly became quiet...
"Sir, thank you for your timely appearance." Idarigi and his son took a long breath and came to Duan San'er. At this time, they were surprised to find that the person standing next to Duan San'er was actually Chifeng Xuancheng.
Idarigi smiled. Chifeng Xuancheng, the once steadfast defender of the General's Mansion, was now on the same path as him.
Duan San'er and his soldiers strode into the general's mansion. Now there was no force that could stop them from entering.
The servants of the General's Mansion looked at these uninvited guests with fear. The soldiers of the Huben Guards quickly took control of the General's Mansion.
Under the leadership of the familiar Idarigi, Duan Saner appeared outside the general's door. Idarigi couldn't wait to open the door for him.
"Are you finally here?" Tokugawa Iemitsu sat there upright: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. What is your name?"
Duan San'er felt that he should be more polite to ensure that the Huben Guards had a good military appearance: "My name is Duan San'er, and you spoke very well about our conversation."
Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded: "Yes, in Japanese aristocratic families, all children have to learn Chinese characters and Chinese from an early age, so there is no problem for me to talk to you."
Then, he asked with some reluctance: "How is Toshio Asahi doing?"
"He's dead." Idarigi replied for Duan San'er.
Tokugawa Iemitsu's face showed sadness, and then his eyes fell on Date Rigi: "Date-kun, what kind of benefits did the people of the Ming Dynasty give you to make you work hard for them like this?"
"What I care about is the future of Japan." Idarigi's answer was very calm: "Japan is definitely not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty. I once persuaded you, but you did not accept my opinion. I know that if you continue to resist, then welcome
Japan can only be destroyed, and I will never let Japan be destroyed in your hands."
Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled sarcastically, any traitor always has their excuse. He ignored Idarigi and said to Duan Saner: "General Duan, have you seen that pot of chrysanthemums?
"
This was the first time that Duan San'er was called "general". This made him feel very good. Looking in the direction Tokugawa Iemitsu said, he saw a pot of withering chrysanthemums.
"This pot of chrysanthemums is withering, is there any way to stop it?" Tokugawa Iemitsu asked inexplicably.
"Yes!" Duan San'er answered without any hesitation. Then, he strode to the pot of chrysanthemums and stared at it for a while. Suddenly he pulled out his knife and cut off the chrysanthemums with one strong stroke. Then he put away the knife and said:
"Cut it off, and the appearance of the chrysanthemum before it withers will remain in your memory forever!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu was greatly shocked. He had never thought that this Ming Dynasty general would actually say such words.
Cut it off, and the appearance of the chrysanthemum before it withers will remain in your memory forever!
Yes, this is the only way to ensure that the chrysanthemums will not wither, but will the appearance of Japan remain in my memory forever?
Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't know.
"It's time to leave." Duan San'er said calmly: "This is no longer your place to stay, we have prepared a special place for you."
Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up numbly and exhausted...
The Tokugawa Shogunate began with Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In July 1600, with Naoe Sui as the trigger, Tokugawa Ieyasu issued a crusade order to unite the martial arts sect to attack Uesugi Kagekatsu, one of the five elders. However, the dismissed Ishida Mitsunari secretly united with the other followers, the fifth elder Teru Mouri.
Yuan, Ukita Hideie and other princes who opposed Tokugawa Ieyasu conspired to raise armies. When Ieyasu was on his way to Aizu, the Western Army under the leadership of Terumoto Mori was established in Kansai, and soon raised troops in the Kinai area and occupied Osaka.
Ieyasu, who was far away in Kanto, sent the martial arts daimyo as a vanguard to quickly turn back and confront him, called the Eastern Army. The Western Army captured Fushimi Castle and Otsu Castle after a hard battle. Then they attacked Mino and eliminated Oda on the Tokugawa side.
Hidenobu, the two sides faced off in the Mino area. At the same time, Tokugawa Ieyasu sat in Edo and watched the situation. After being convinced that under the attack of Date Masamune, Mogami Yoshimitsu and Satake Yoshinobu, Uesugi Kagekatsu could not pose a threat to Kanto. Tokugawa
Kawakawa Ieyasu and his son Hidetada set out from Edo, leading a total of 68,000 troops. In September of that year, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent his army to Mino. In the Battle of Sekigahara, he defeated the Western Army, eliminated the hostile princes, and established the Tokugawa family.
The necessary foundation was laid for dominating the world.
In February 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed by the imperial court as the general of the conquest of barbarians, the right minister, and the elder of the Genji. In the same year, he opened the founding in Edo. In 1605, he gave up the general position to his son Hidetada, declared the family to be the world, and called himself the Great Imperial Palace.
He lived in seclusion in Sunfu Castle, but still held real military and political power. In May 1615, at the Battle of Osaka, Toyotomi Hideyori was killed.
The following year, it was changed to the Yuan Dynasty and Yuanhe. Since there were no major wars in Japan, it was called "Yuanhe Yanwu" in history.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was the third generation shogun of the Tokugawa family, and it was in his hands that the Tokugawa shogunate was ruined. Perhaps Tokugawa Ieyasu never imagined that the business he had worked so hard to build would turn out to be just
Passed down for three generations.
The Tokugawa shogunate is over, and now the master of Kyoto has become the Ming army!
Or to be more precise: Ding Yunyi!
This Ming Dynasty’s Marquis Wu Lie, the General of the Fujian Army, the General of Hussars, and the Supreme Protector of the Ming Dynasty created a miracle that is unbelievable to everyone:
Relying only on Fujian, he defeated a country in a short time and the speed of advancing troops was shocking.
When two forces that are not at the same level collide with each other, the final outcome has already been determined...
When Ding Yunyi entered the general's residence and met Tokugawa Iemitsu, Tokugawa Iemitsu had already lost his halo as a general, and now he was nothing more than a prisoner.
"I heard that you know the tea ceremony very well. I have prepared the utensils for you." Ding Yunyi said lightly: "You might as well show your tea ceremony."
This is an insult.
After all, Tokugawa Iemitsu was once a Japanese general, but now he must be treated like a servant in front of Ding Yunyi. But Tokugawa Iemitsu must endure. All his family members are in the hands of the other party, and even the life of His Majesty the Emperor is at stake.
It's in the opponent's hands.
Although people from the Ming Dynasty have no intention of entering the palace yet, God knows when they will break into the palace and disturb His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
Seeing Tokugawa Iemitsu's concentration, Ding Yunyi suddenly asked with a smile: "Tokugawa Iemitsu, have you thought about today?"
Seeing Tokugawa Iemitsu shaking his head numbly, Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "I never thought that Japan would be defeated so quickly. You can think of me as a victor, and I don't particularly care about others.
My opinion. In my opinion the winner is the winner."
The winner is the winner, and there is no doubt that Tokugawa Iemitsu is a loser.
"The tea is ready." Tokugawa Iemitsu handed the tea cup to Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi took a sip and was full of praise: "Good tea, good tea. If you don't join me in marching and fighting, when it comes to the skill in the tea ceremony, I am really not as good as you. Today you can let me drink such fragrant and delicious tea."
, I can grant you a death without bloodshed.”
Tokugawa Iemitsu's body trembled.
The meaning conveyed to him by the other party was too obvious, and the people of the Ming Dynasty had no intention of letting him go.
Tokugawa Iemitsu tried hard to adjust his emotions: "Thank you, I have predicted my fate, but I want to ask you one thing, please let my family go."
"I can let others go, but there are a few people I won't let go." Ding Yunyi put down the tea cup and said calmly: "For example, your son, there is an old saying in China that when you cut the grass, you must root it out. I don't
It will give your descendants a chance to take revenge."
Tokugawa Iemitsu's body trembled again, and even his voice became trembling: "Why are you doing this? You have already won the victory, and the Tokugawa family no longer poses any threat to you. My son
Why don't you want to let it go? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"I'm not afraid, I've never been afraid of retribution." Ding Yunyi answered Tokugawa Iemitsu's question with a slight smile: "I told you just now, I am the winner, and you are just a loser.
The victors can do whatever they want in the conquered lands without fear of condemnation, because this is our right."
Tokugawa Iemitsu's lips kept trembling. He had never seen such a terrible person, who regarded human life and death as so insignificant.
This is a devil, an out-and-out devil!
Ding Yunyi poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip carefully: "I know you resent me very much now. You would kill me if possible, but you don't have this chance. Go with peace of mind and treat me
I will also let your son die without bleeding."
He never intended to let go of Tokugawa Iemitsu and his descendants. In his opinion, the Tokugawa family had come to an end with Tokugawa Iemitsu's generation.
To cut weeds, you must remove the roots!
Tokugawa Iemitsu controlled his emotions: "If this is destined by fate, then I am willing to accept this fate, but please let His Majesty the Emperor go."
His Majesty the Emperor? Ding Yunyi tilted his head and thought for a while: "Guess, how will I treat your Majesty the Emperor?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled bitterly: "I think, according to your character, you will not allow His Majesty the Emperor to continue to exist, right?"
Ding Yunyi smiled happily. Tokugawa Iemitsu's answer was not wrong at all. He would never allow any emperor to exist.
"Let her live an ordinary life." Tokugawa Iemitsu almost begged: "She has no responsibility for this war. She is just innocent. And she is already old.
It will no longer pose any threat to you. Why should you have trouble with an older woman?"
Ding Yunyi actually sighed: "Tokugawa Iemitsu, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. If it were a personal grudge between you and me, I would definitely not do anything to an old woman. But it's different now. Not now.
This is a personal grudge between you and me. Now that I have conquered this place, I will transform it according to my own ideas. No one can stop my determination."
Tokugawa Iemitsu really didn't know why Ding Yunyi had such hatred for Japan, but he had no chance to find out.
He is a loser, that's all. The fate of the loser is in the hands of the winner. This has never changed no matter what dynasty it is in from ancient times!
Duan San'er walked in, placed a bottle of wine in front of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and then stood beside Tokugawa Iemitsu without saying a word.
"Drink, drink." Ding Yunyi's words sounded so cold and ruthless: "After drinking this pot of wine, I can guarantee you that you will never have any pain from now on!"
After drinking this pot of wine, I can assure you that you will never have any pain again!
Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third generation general of the Tokugawa shogunate, was killed by a glass of poisonous wine! This work is recommended by registered members of Piaotian Literature
