Domineering Daming

Qingshan Zhongjun turned his head and glanced at the crowd, with a calm expression, as calm as a raging fire before the rage, and said lightly: "Obey."

Tadatoshi Aoyama had a special status in the Tokugawa shogunate, and Iemitsu Tokugawa wanted to be courteous. Even though the famous patriarchs were extremely conflicted, they still responded and did not refute.

The [-] troops of Tadatoshi Aoyama and Shigemasa Itakura turned to the east and quickly entered the Kanmon Strait.

After Dorgon received the order, he knew about the Tsushima Island, and he did not hesitate to raise his army. In addition to the troops of Li Dingguo, Zuo Liangyu, Huashan Jiushou, Heitian Zhongzhi, etc., the total number was nearly [-]. The three-way army went north, swept the five countries of Xikaidao, and brought it under the control of the Ming Dynasty again, and then the army assembled and piled up ten miles outside the fortress of the Kanmen Strait!

At the same time, the Kanmon Strait Fortress, including Tadatoshi Aoyama, Shigemasa Itakura, and Masakatsu Naito, joined forces with a total of more than [-] troops. The gates were closed and the guards were heavily guarded. They obviously planned to stick to it!

On the first day, neither side reacted at all, neither attacked nor tried, as if they were resting, observing each other, and getting ready.

On the second day, Cao Bianjiao's hundreds of warships and thousands of cannons appeared not far from the Guanmen Strait, cruising in the sea, and pretended to enter the Guanmen Strait.

For a moment, the wind in the Guanmen Strait was turbulent, and the murderous air was surging, like a cold wind passing through, and everyone was tense.

Dorgon's camp, Daishan, Duoduo, Mandahai are all there, Li Dingguo, Zuo Liangyu, Huashan Jiushou, Heitian Zhongzhi and others are also there, discussing the battle.

There were two more people present, one was Qian Jinxiao, the head of the staff office, and the other was Cao Bianjiao, the captain of the navy, and they both rushed over.

Qian Jinxiao looked at the crowd and said: "Emperor Mingzheng denounced the Tokugawa shogunate for being unfaithful and unkind, killing recklessly, treating the emperor harshly, and disrespecting the people. The crusade edict is here, and it can be released publicly at any time. In addition, there is also a letter of loyalty to the emperor." The list includes daimyo, family governors from all over the country, the staff office and the military intelligence office discussed it overnight, and they are very useful!"

Dorgon and the others have already seen these, and as soon as he finished speaking, Huashan Jiushou immediately said: "My lords, there are many old stories of my Satsuma clan here, and there are many foreign names, please let me be a lobbyist." , they will definitely fight against the Tokugawa shogunate together with the Heavenly Soldiers anyway!"

After Hei Tianzhong was unwilling to accept others, he quickly said: "I can do it too. I can convince more people. I am also sure that in the Guanmen Strait, I will let many people anyway!"

Nobuzuna Matsudaira's defeat ruined the long-hidden Japanese navy, including the 8 elite shogunate. Don't look at Tadatoshi Aoyama who still has [-] people in his hands, and he is defending the Kanmon Strait. , It also means that the Wa Kingdom does not have much spare power to continue to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

Now with the edict of Emperor Meisho, the crusade against the shogunate is justifiable. Huashan has been guarding for a long time, and Kuroten Tadayuki can feel that the Tokugawa shogunate is about to fall. If we don’t show loyalty and meritorious service at this time, when will we wait?

Dorgon looked up at Cao Bianjiao, and said, "How is the investigation on the other side, is it possible to enter the strait?"

Cao Bianjiao said: "Military intelligence department and the navy made many inquiries and found that it is not easy. Not only are there all kinds of weapons against ships, but the water may be blocked at any time. The navy ships are too big. Once they sink, they may be targets. "

Dorgon rubbed his head, his eyes showed a trace of hostility, he was very tired of this kind of war, but he had to endure it, and said: "Tomorrow, the edict of Emperor Mingzheng will be issued to the whole Wa Kingdom, and the order of my Daming will also be announced. One day, shelling!"

Qian Jinxiao said: "My lord, when will the city be attacked? How can those lists be used?"

Dorgon looked at him and said: "Three days of shelling, take the opportunity to contact, three days later, attack the city!"

"Obey!" A group of people stood in awe and replied in a deep voice.

The defeat of Matsudaira Nobuzuna hurt the morale of the Wa country, and at the same time inspired the strong confidence of Daming.

On the second day, the archers of the Ming Dynasty shot the copied edict of Emperor Mingzheng’s crusade into the pass, thousands of them at a time, which caused a huge disorder in the Kanmon Strait in a short while, and was quickly suppressed and stabilized. .

However, the intelligence network that the Ming Dynasty had operated for many years was running rapidly, and Emperor Mingzheng's edict condemning the Tokugawa shogunate spread throughout the Wa Kingdom, and every corner knew it clearly.

Especially in Edo, there was a huge wave. The threshold of General Tokugawa's mansion was broken. I don't know how many people started to operate with ulterior motives. Countless rumors popped up and became very popular.

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu was not in the General's Mansion, but in the Imperial Palace.

His face was gloomy and cold, his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, staring at Emperor Mingzheng, Xingzi who was kneeling opposite him.

Xingzi lowered his head, his pretty face turned pale, his body trembled, he gritted his teeth and said, "I did it."

Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was extremely ugly, holding a knife in his right hand, and behind him stood thirty samurai, all showing murderous looks, with fierce eyes.

The anger in Tokugawa's chest was about to explode his whole body, and his killing intent was stronger than ever.

Facing his beloved niece, the current emperor, he no longer had the tenderness of the past, with a cold face, he said coldly: "You did it? Do you have a jade seal in your hand?"

The appearance of Emperor Meisho is because Emperor Gomizuo, in order to prevent Tokugawa Iemitsu's nephew from succeeding to the throne, usurped the emperor's blood. When Xingzi was nine years old, he passed the throne to her, and now he is forcing her to give the throne to his half-brother. Brother, we must completely cut off Tokugawa Iemitsu's delusion.

Therefore, Emperor Mingzheng Xingzi has always been a puppet on the table, with no power at all, and the emperor's jade seal has always been in the hands of his father, Taishang Gomizuo.

Xingzi lowered his head, not daring to speak.She was very scared, afraid that the uncle in front of her would really kill her and her father.

Chapter 1372 The Emperor and Marriage?

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at his trembling niece with an uncertain expression.

Not to mention it wasn't Xingzi's fault, even if it was her, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't do anything to her.Although the royal family has always been a puppet, the shogunate has changed from generation to generation, and the royal family has always stood firm, which shows the importance of the emperor in Japan.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's power far exceeds that of his father and his ancestor Tokugawa Ieyasu, and even Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not as good as him. After all, they all conquered the big names by force. If Shangluo succeeded, Tokugawa Iemitsu did inherit The shogun of the Tokugawa family, through a series of fierce means, his control power has penetrated into every corner of Wa country.

But even so, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not dare to risk the world's wrongdoing to destabilize the emperor. With a raging fire in his heart, he stared at Emperor Mingzheng Xingzi and said, "Where is your father?"

The empress of Emperor Gomizuo is Tokugawa Iemitsu's older sister. The two are not much different in age, so they should have a good relationship. However, their relationship has been in conflict for more than ten years.

Worried that something might happen, Xingzi bit his lip and said, "Uncle, I will take full responsibility for this matter."

The Tokugawa family's face twitched fiercely, and he said in a cold voice: "You bear it? How do you bear it? The imperial edict against me with the emperor's seal was spread throughout the Wa Kingdom, and I don't know how many people asked me to go to the wild! Nobuzuna Matsudaira Great defeat, once the navy is destroyed, [-] shogunate elites will be buried in the bottom of the sea! The Ming Dynasty is eyeing a tiger, and the soldiers gather in the Guanmen Strait. They may break through at any time and set foot on Jiuguo Island! Some people even took the opportunity to add chaos, with unpredictable attitudes, and unanimously recruited Samurai, I have disobeyed Mufu's orders... My home island is in chaos now... Do you think I should pass on the throne now and go to the temple to cultivate?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu was originally full of anger, but in the end he suppressed it forcefully, and stopped talking without saying too much.

Xingzi can feel Tokugawa Iemitsu's anger, even though she is young and a puppet, she can understand the difficult situation Tokugawa Iemitsu is facing.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, I am willing to marry the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, and I ask the Ming Dynasty to stop fighting."

The root of everything is the invasion of the Ming Dynasty. As the emperor's Xingzi, he intends to sacrifice her in exchange for the peace of Japan, and at the same time, it is also for Tokugawa Iemitsu to get rid of her father.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was furious when he heard it, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but immediately frowned and his eyes flickered.

An old man behind Tokugawa Iemitsu also moved slightly, looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu, but did not speak.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's anger suddenly disappeared for some reason, and his face was still full of anger, saying: "Now you all stay in the palace honestly and don't have any contact with the outside world, and tell him, if you are honest A little bit, otherwise, I will make him shut up forever!"

Xingzi heard Tokugawa Iemitsu's undisguised murderous intent, her pretty face turned pale, she bit her lip and remained silent.

Iemitsu Tokugawa left the palace, entered the carriage, and said in a cold tone: "Surround the palace for me, and not a single fly is allowed to fly in or out!"

"Yes!" A warrior behind him bowed, and then quickly arranged.

Before long, the army of the shogunate surrounded the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

If it weren't for the scruples to provoke the daimyos who already had ulterior motives everywhere, Tokugawa Iemitsu would have wished to wipe out the imperial palace.

Soon after returning to the General's Mansion, Tokugawa Iemitsu was sitting on his knees, making tea with a blank expression on his face.

Kneeling in front of him were two family elders, both of whom were loyal to the top five in the country of Wa, with their heads slightly lowered, their expressions dignified.

An imperial edict issued by Emperor Mingzheng put the Tokugawa shogunate in an extremely embarrassing situation, and lost the righteousness of leading the Japanese kingdom and resisting the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, daimyos from all over the world, not only those foreign daimyos, genealogical daimyos, even the shogunate vassals have some voices come out.

These voices are not groundless. For example, Tokugawa Iemitsu's adoptive mother broke into the imperial palace a few years ago and forced the emperor to come out to see her, a "lowly woman".

Naturally, there is a lot of discussion in Wa country, and the voice of accusing Tokugawa Iemitsu has not stopped.

In addition, Tokugawa Iemitsu was extremely harsh on the daimyos from all over the country, not only heavy taxes, but also kept their wives and children as hostages in Edo, and also stipulated half-yearly visits, which kept them on the road for almost a whole year, and almost lost control of the vassal state!
