Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 725

The other Jian captives also gathered around Bao Chengxian, listening to any tricks.

I just heard Bao Chengxian respectfully say to Hauge: "The current Wa country is a chaotic world where heroes compete for the throne, which is almost the same as the time of the Three Kingdoms. And the Three Kingdoms won the world, and Cao Wei also..."

After listening to it for a while, Hauge couldn't help but get a little impatient, and immediately interrupted loudly: "Let's get straight to the point, don't talk about the Three Kingdoms, we've all heard of that stuff."

Bao Cheng listened first, feeling a little embarrassed.He wanted to show off but didn't dare to go against Hauge's wishes, so he replied respectfully: "I thought that Your Highness should hold the Emperor hostage to order the princes to take control of the Japanese Emperor first. In this way, he would have great righteousness and drive away the Japanese Emperor." Whether it's devouring tigers or attacking other daimyo, the general will be famous."

When Hauge heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.Today's emperor is in Kyoto, while the Tokugawa shogunate is in Edo.Before that, he had sent envoys to the capital, and he knew about these situations beforehand.

And relying on the emperor to benefit the princes, I have heard a lot of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Of course, Hauge knew that this was the most important move for Cao Cao to stand out among the princes.

If he had the emperor in his hands, what about the shogun?At least in name, the emperor is the emperor of Japan, isn't he!
Thinking of this, Hauge couldn't help but rubbed his hands excitedly and said repeatedly: "Okay, yes, yes, it's a good way..."

Seeing him so happy, Bao Chengxian felt a little proud, and immediately reminded: "Your Highness, this matter must be acted first. If other powerful vassals control the capital, it will be difficult to take the emperor back!"

"Yes, yes, this matter must be done first!" After hearing this, Hauge immediately nodded in agreement, and then ordered his subordinates to take most of the people down to settle down. Then, he ordered his trusted leaders, including Turg and Bao Chengxian. Wait for others together, and then return to the lobby to discuss the matter of "holding the emperor to order the princes".

Through questioning the Japanese, Hauge and others knew that for now, the emperor is in Kyoto, and it can also be said that the imperial court of the Japanese country is in Kyoto.But they are all in name only, and the government orders are actually issued by the shogunate in Edo.The memorials to the emperor by daimyos from all over the country will also be transferred to Edo for review before they are shown to the emperor.

In charge of communication between the shogunate and the imperial court, or in other words, supervising the emperor on behalf of Iemitsu Tokugawa, it was Shigemune Itakura, the deputy governor of the Kyoto office in Kyoto.

This Itakura Shigemune was one of the Big Three in the Tokugawa Iemitsu era. The other two, one was Ii Naotaka in Edo. Of course, he had already died of anger during the Korean War at this time.There is another one, Hoshiyuki Masaoyuki, the lord of the Aizu Domain who defended Tokugawa Iemitsu against the brave daimyo in the North.

This Hoshina Masaoyuki is actually Tokugawa Hidetada's illegitimate son, now Tokugawa Iemitsu's younger brother.He was loyal to the shogunate all his life and passed down the family motto. There are fifteen rules for the Aizu family motto, one of which is this: Aizu Domain exists to protect the general's family, and if the lord betrays, the retainers cannot follow.

Therefore, the Aizu clan of all dynasties was ultimately loyal to the shogun, including the last clan lord, and there are stories.But it has nothing to do with this, so let's not show it.

However, it can be seen from this that this Hoshina is loyal to Iemitsu Tokugawa.

The Korean War was defeated, and big names from all over the world had different ideas.Now the only thing the Tokugawa family can rely on is the Aizu Domain.But there is only one Aizu clan, how can it be possible to rule the entire Wa country.

Therefore, daimyos from all over the world led troops or sent envoys to Kyoto. Although Shigemune Itakura controlled Kyoto, his troops were limited.

In the lobby, a group of people waited to understand the general situation, and Bao Chengxian played to Hauge: "Your Highness, this slave thinks that Itakura Shigemune must have reported the situation in Kyoto to Edo. If the Tokugawa shogunate frees up, If you regain control of Kyoto, it will be even more difficult to snatch the Emperor of Japan. Therefore, the slaves suggested that you should take the capital directly with a surprise army, and first hold the Emperor in your hands!"

After hearing his analysis, Hauge was really impatient.

It is good for him to be impatient, that is, he will do what he says.

After a discussion, he made a decision.Regardless of the side of Kyushu Island, three thousand elites were selected, and two hundred of them were the elites of the elites, and they set off immediately to attack Kyoto.The leader is Turg.

Hauge himself, on the other hand, tidied up the soft things, grabbed as much as he could in Kyushu, and burned them if he couldn't.Anyway, you can't leave resources for other daimyos, let alone give the Ming army a chance to replenish supplies.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom was far less populated than later generations.Although Kyushu Island is big, only those bigger cities are worth plundering.The so-called occupation of territory is actually just capturing these places with a lot of people. As for the mountains, forests and wild lands, no one has the leisure to worry about them.

So, in this way, the Japanese people in Kyushu Island suffered.

Hauge's method is actually similar to that of Daming's thief.Conquering the next land, coercing the people to continue attacking the next land, and what he can really raise are only the young and strong among the Japanese, as for the old and weak, they are all cannon fodder for attacking the next city.

Where Hauge led the army, it was like locusts crossing the border, turning into ruins.It can even be said that it is more terrifying than locusts. After all, locusts do not eat people, but the army of Hauge took away all the people, and killed those who did not dare to submit.

In just two short months, by the end of February in the 20th year of Ming Chongzhen, Kyushu Island had almost lost its popularity.There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the road is frozen to death. The scene of Jianlu adding to Daming was repeated in Wa Kingdom.

For all this, Hauge is very satisfied, even very proud.If the Ming army attacked Kyushu Island, it turned out that there was no one at all, and there was no food and supplies. It would definitely drag down the Ming army's offensive, and it is even possible for them to return without success.

Looking back at Kyushu Island for the last time, Hauge vigorously ordered everyone to board the boat, preparing to harm Honshu Island, and rushed to Kyoto to join Turg's headquarters.

Just ten days ago, Turg had sent someone to report that he had succeeded in directly attacking the capital.That old Japanese guy, Itakura Shigemune, never thought that having a daimyo would really break the rules, so he couldn't guard against it effectively, and Turge personally led the elite white armored soldiers into the city and opened the city gate.It's just a pity that although Emperor Goguangmei was captured, he was still run away by Shigemune Itakura.

Turger was worried that other daimyos would follow suit when they saw this situation, and even Shigemune Itakura might lead people to counterattack.Therefore, he asked Hauge to rush here as soon as possible.

Knowing the situation in Kyoto, Hauge was of course anxious. Therefore, Kyushu Island was not cleaned up, so he crossed the sea to Honshu Island.

At this time, it can be said that the most violent disturbance on the Wa country is the power of Hauge.The other daimyos more or less still abide by the rules left by the past, and are more or less influenced by the traditional thinking of the Japanese country, so they are still restrained in doing things.

However, Hauge, an outsider, does not have this restraint, and he is worried about when the Ming army will come, and he can do anything.

So, as time passed, daimyos from all over the country knew that there was a No. [-] figure like Hauge, who had extremely brutal methods, rose extremely quickly, and even controlled Kyoto.

This situation, of course, was also detected by the Ming army at night, and it was immediately reported to Sun Chuanting in Busan.

The Wa people may not be clear, but for Daming, the word Aixinjueluo really shouldn't be too familiar.As soon as he heard it, Sun Chuanting knew that it must be the remnants of Jianlu who were making trouble.

One thing, Hauge guessed right, the reason why Sun Chuanting has not sent troops to the Wa country is because of the problem of food and grass.

The two provinces of Liaodong and North Korea are not yet capable of self-sufficiency, so they must be transported from Daming Pass just like military rations.Even if there is a transport ship to transport, it will not be able to hoard the food needed to attack the Wa country in a short time.

The reason why troops were sent to attack the Japanese army of the Satsuma Domain in the Ryukyu Kingdom was because most of the food and supplies were borne by the Ryukyu Kingdom.However, the Ryukyu Kingdom was squeezed by the Satsuma Domain, and it was an island country with a shortage of supplies, which could not afford a long-term war.As a result, the Ming army in the Ryukyu Kingdom did not take advantage of the situation to attack Kyushu Island.

However, when Sun Chuanting heard about the situation in the Wa country at this time, he categorically ordered to prepare the army for war.

In his opinion, if the country of Wa was so ravaged by the remnants of Jianlu, what would be the use of defeating Ming Dynasty, people are gone!Moreover, the remnants of Jianlu cannot be allowed to grow up, and it is necessary to kill them all.Although food and grass supplies are not enough, it is always possible if we fight in stages.

When the generals under him heard that they were going to attack the Wa Kingdom, they were all excited.There are battles to fight, which means that there are military achievements to be made.Conferring a wife and a son, conferring a marquis and worshiping a general, all depend on this.

However, what Sun Chuanting never expected was that when he was about to lead the army across the sea to conquer the Japanese kingdom, the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen arrived.

This decree was delivered by Feige, and then sent from Liaodong on a fast horse eight hundred miles.

Emperor Chongzhen's will was very simple, and he ordered Sun Chuanting not to send troops to Japan if he did not agree with his will to send troops.Don't worry about what happens in Japan, just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

To be honest, Sun Chuanting was a little depressed.Because before he came here, Emperor Chongzhen had told him that he should make an impromptu decision depending on the situation of the Wa Kingdom, and that he was allowed to attack the Wa Kingdom and destroy the Wa Kingdom.

But the current decree made him stand still...

If the original Chongzhen Emperor was replaced, he would not have much prestige in the future, then maybe Sun Chuanting would disrespect the order of the emperor. However, at this time, the prestige of the Chongzhen Emperor is so high, who would dare to resist the order?
Therefore, although Sun Chuanting regretted that the Japanese would be killed by the remnants of Jianlu, which made his record less important, in the end, he could only follow the will of Emperor Chongzhen, stay still and continue to sit and watch the situation of the Japanese country.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had just returned to the capital.
