Domineering Daming

Both sides seemed to feel the breath of a decisive battle, and a chilling air permeated the entire Jiuguo Island.

Edo, the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Meizheng Xingzi and General Tokugawa Iemitsu sat facing each other, both of them looked unhappy.

Tokugawa Iemitsu suspected that Emperor Gomizuo had colluded with the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Gomizuo denied it, but Tokugawa Iemitsu naturally didn't believe it. He even had a favorite niece, and Emperor Meisho also suspected it.

The excuse for the Ming Dynasty’s dispatch of troops this time was that Tokugawa Iemitsu disrespected the emperor and violated the order of heaven.

From this point of view, it is reasonable for Emperor Gomizuo to collude with the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Gomizuo was very dissatisfied with Tokugawa Iemitsu, and even hated it. This is well known in Japan, but because of Tokugawa Iemitsu's power, it couldn't happen.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is now aggressively questioning, and Emperor Gomizuo has no other choice but to deny it.

Xingzi frowned, looked at Iemitsu Tokugawa, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Uncle, you should trust us."

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked ugly and his eyes flickered.Although this Xingzi is his sister's daughter, she is the biological daughter of Emperor Gomizuo. It is hard to say which side she is on.

However, the battle was imminent, and Tokugawa Iemitsu did not force him too much, and said in a blunt tone, "I disagree with your passing on the throne. Also, the cost of the imperial palace will be halved..."

Xingzi's complexion changed suddenly, and just as he was about to speak, Tokugawa Iemitsu said coldly: "I don't need two overlords in Japan. Now that foreign enemies are invading, the imperial palace can no longer be so extravagant. It's settled like this."

Tokugawa Iemitsu got up and left without stopping.

Xingzi looked at his back with a complex expression, hesitated for a while, then turned to walk deep into the palace.

Emperor Gomizuo had just turned forty years old, when he was in the prime of his life, he knelt and sat in the Buddhist chamber the whole time, muttering to himself.

Xingzi didn't like Buddha, so he opened the door, knelt down beside the door, and said, "The general is gone."

Emperor Gomizuo's voice stopped abruptly, and said, "What conditions did he propose?"

Xingzi looked up at him, with a worried look on his face, and said: "The general disagrees with my advance to the Zen position, and also deducts half of the palace fee."

Because of the "Purple Clothes Incident", Tokugawa Iemitsu was furious and blocked all the sources of income of the palace except the shogunate. If the Tokugawa shogunate refused to pay, the life of the palace would be very sad.

Emperor Gomizuo sat up without turning around, and said in an unusually cold and cold tone, "I see."

Xingzi looked at his back, hesitated again and again, and said: "Father, do you..."

"Is there any collusion with the Ming Dynasty?" Emperor Gomizuo said in a cold voice, "What do you think?"

Xingzi was afraid of this strange and familiar father, bowed slightly, and said, "Father won't."

What she said was an affirmative sentence, an expectation, an apprehension, but also a question mark.

Emperor Gomizuo didn't answer her, and knelt down again, muttering to himself. He was wearing a monk's robe, with a small Buddha statue in front of him.

Xingzi looked at his back with a sad expression, remained silent for a while, knelt down, and then slowly backed out.

The sound of Emperor Meisho's footsteps was crisp and hasty, and he quickly left the courtyard of Emperor Gomizuo.

Not long after she left, a samurai walked in and knelt in the place where Emperor Meizheng had been.

Emperor Gomizuo muttered to himself for a long time, sat up slowly, his voice became erratic and gentle, and said: "You promised that if I cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, I will be the real emperor in the future."

The kneeling man lowered his head and said, "That's right, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has ordered that once they wipe out the Tokugawa shogunate, they will all withdraw their troops."

Emperor Gomizuo was silent for a long time, and said: "There are more than 20 famous people who are loyal to me. At the critical moment, I will help you."

The person kneeling and sitting was also silent for a long time, and said again: "It's not enough."

Emperor Gomizuo bowed to the Buddha statue again, and said, "Regardless of the victory or defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will marry Xingzi."

The kneeling person was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay."

Emperor Gomizuo didn't move, the Buddhist room was quiet for a while, and said: "I have a list in my hand. Apart from the famous names from all over the world, there are still many family governors and retainers. They will be of great use."

"It's still not enough," said the kneeling man.

Emperor Gomizuo seemed to sigh, with a fluttering voice, took something from in front of him, pushed it over, and said: "Xingzi, as the emperor, is the edict to crusade against the Tokugawa shogunate."

The kneeling man raised his head, looked at a box next to him, his eyes flickered, and said, "Enough."

The kneeling person stepped forward, took the box, and stepped back quietly.

Emperor Mizuo was quiet for a while, and the chanting sounded again.

Daming had infiltrated the imperial palace of the Wa country six years ago, and at this time, there were finally some results.

This information was quickly passed on in a top-secret piece of information, and the target was Tsushima Island.

Before this information arrived, the situation on Jiuguo Island changed again.

Aoyama Tadatoshi and Itakura Shigesho joined forces, and an army of [-] swept across the countries of West Kaido, and the five northern countries of Kyugoku Island fell into the hands of the Tokugawa shogunate again.

And the [-] army is preparing to go south aggressively, as if to have a decisive battle with Dorgon of Uto County.

Dorgon had already joined Li Dingguo, and the army gathered from all over the place, with a total of more than [-] scattered, confronting Qingshan Zhongjun on the front line of Utu County.

Yutu City.

Dorgon, Li Dingguo, Zuo Liangyu and others gathered together, staring at the huge sand table in front of them, each with solemn expressions.

Dai Shan opened his mouth, cherishing words like gold and said: "The situation is not right."

The others did not answer, and the room was silent.

If Qingshan Zhongjun wanted to fight Da Ming decisively, he didn't have to wait so long at all. Now that he was setting up a battle, he was telling Da Ming that they had another purpose.

Dorgon sat on the chair, his eyes were dim, and the wrench in his hand slowly turned.

Zuo Liangyu looked around, conscious of his low status, and said, "Our main force is on Jiuguo Island, and it's nothing more than us. Have they found a way to defeat us?"

This sentence made everyone startled and fell into thought.

The way to defeat the Ming army?what is it

Dorgon spoke at this time, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, the first battle of Zhongqing is enough to scare the courage of the Wa Kingdom, and they dare not face it head-on."

Zhongqing is the name of Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo fought with 1 Itakura Shigechang with [-] people for several hours, forcing Itakura Shigechang to withdraw his troops the most.

"Did they set up a trap and wait for me to fall into it?" Li Dingguo pondered for a while, then said to himself.

As for the strategic purpose of the Wa Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty was equally confused.
