Domineering Daming

He also wanted to hear about the envoys of the shogunate, while waiting for any new orders from Yang Sichang.

Chapter 1386 The Difficult Negotiations of the Wa Country

The envoy of Tokugawa Iemitsu from the Hoki Domain is Hino, who sits opposite Dorgon.

Dorgon's battle was hearty, and the journey to the east was smooth, with twenty troops, plus the emperor's list, there was no resistance at all along the way.

Although in some situations right now, he wants to reorganize the army to prevent the Japanese surrender army from getting out of control, but it won't be long before he can go on the road again.

Therefore, Dorgon calmed down and looked at this thin little old man with a calm face.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Hino had no intention of haggling, and said directly: "The emperor of our country has admired His Majesty the Great Emperor of China for a long time, and hopes to make peace, put aside swords and soldiers, and avoid this disaster for the people of the two countries."

Dorgon fumbled his fingers with his right hand, looked at Hino quietly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The shogunate disrupted the order of heaven and damaged the Huayi system. This time the heavenly soldiers came to conquer the shogunate, and have nothing to do with the emperor."

Hino didn't seem to hear this kind of nonsense, and continued: "The public is well aware of its mistakes, and is willing to retire and return the great power to the emperor."

Dorgon didn't know that this was advancing by retreating. Tokugawa Iemitsu tried to listen to the government behind the curtain, and said with a normal face: "Tokugawa Iemitsu needs to go to the capital to plead guilty to His Majesty the Great Emperor face to face."

This is of course not for fun, otherwise I will never come back. Hino was silent for a moment, and said: "The general should know that our country's national strength is still there. If your country persecutes you too much and burns everything, I believe this is not what the general wants to see."

Dorgon laughed, and said: "I will continue to send troops at noon tomorrow at the most, and within three days, the army will be able to break through Edo!"

Hino's face darkened suddenly. Although Dorgon's words were a threat and a little unrealistic, they were indeed dangerous for the Wa Kingdom, and Dorgon's steps must be stopped.

Hino's eyes flickered, and he said: "The emperor of our country is already on his way. If your country's navy protects him, he will be able to reach your country's capital in less than a month. Does the general really need to report such an important matter?"

Dorgon knew that this was already the bottom line of the Tokugawa shogunate, the wrench in his hand turned a little slower, and said: "I will not accept the orders of the generals."

Hino frowned, his heart was burning with impatience, and he said bluntly: "How can the general be willing to stop the army?"

Dorgon said: "I just said it."

"The shogunate will never accept this condition." Hino resolutely refused, and then said: "The shogunate has ordered the army to retreat fifty miles to show its sincerity. I believe that returning home does not want to fight a bloody battle with the shogunate. Please convey our sincerity to Yang Da. Dudu."

Dorgon laughed and said, "Okay."

Hino looked at Dorgon, and had a bad feeling in his heart. From here to Tsushima Island, even if there were flying pigeons to pass the message, it would not take three or two days to go back and forth. Seeing what Dorgon meant, there was no cessation of troops mean.

Therefore, he must convince Dorgon!

Hino's expression changed and his mind raced.

Qingshan Zhongjun judged that the Ming army cherished feathers and would not have a tough battle, but now they have as many as [-] Japanese soldiers, so how can they be afraid of sacrifice?

In this way, what shortcomings does the Ming army have, and is there any way to stop them?

Dorgon had a good time, watching Hino scratching his ears and cheeks, he felt very refreshed, and vented the hostility that had been suppressed for more than two months.

Hino suddenly looked up at Dorgon, and said, "Is it possible to go to the Ming Dynasty from the new shogunate?"

Dorgon was taken aback, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.He had concluded that the Tokugawa shogunate was really in a hurry, so he turned his mind and said: "I can stop the army and wait for the orders of Governor Yang and the court, but you must retreat a hundred miles, not only here, but also on Ezo Island." So does South."

Hino's face changed suddenly. Even here, retreating [-] miles is the limit. If facing the Mutsu clan of Ezo Island and others retreating [-] miles, it would be to let the Ming army land, come from both sides, and attack the Japanese kingdom!

"The shogunate will never accept it!"

Hino refused without hesitation, and said in a cold voice: "I advise the general to think carefully about how such a request is different from asking the shogunate to surrender!"

Dorgon said: "Tomorrow noon at the latest, I will send troops!"

Hino's face was ugly, and he stared at Dorgon for a while, his eyes flickering.

Dorgon's face was expressionless, his eyes were indifferent, full of killing intent.

Hino lowered his head abruptly, full of discomfort.He knew that what Dorgon said was true, the situation was stronger than people, and he had to bow his head.

After struggling for a while, Hino raised his head again and said, "I need to report to the shogunate. I hope the general will not initiate any new actions until the shogunate returns."

Dorgon said without hesitation: "Okay, I also need to wait for Governor Yang's opinion."

Hino stood up, bowed, and said, "I leave everything to the general."

Dorgon didn't move, he looked at Hino with amused expression.

Hino didn't stay any longer, and quickly turned around and left.

As soon as Hino left, Duoduo, Daishan, Man Dahai, Li Dingguo and others walked in one after another. Duoduo said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, do we really want to stop? Now is the time when the morale of the army is at its peak. Waiting for us, ready to surrender..."

They broke through the Guanmen Strait and wiped out the [-] army of Qingshan Zhongjun, and their morale was like a rainbow.The shock to the entire Wa country was also severe. I don't know how many daimyos are ready to give it a go, join the Ming army, and participate in the collapse.

If the army is stopped now, for the Ming army, it is simply abandoning the pass and giving up the advantage it has gained so hard.

Dorgon glanced at the crowd and said, "How about those who were punished?"

Zuo Liangyu immediately came out and said: "Tadayuki Kuroda, Hisashi Huayama and the others have already disrupted and reorganized those soldiers to ensure that they will not turn back. It will be completed by noon tomorrow at the most."

Dorgon looked dimly, and said: "It's too slow! Li Dingguo, you also go to lead [-] troops, and they can't change!"

Li Dingguo was slightly startled, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

Daishan, Duoduo and a group of people are still staring at Dorgon, worried that he will really stop the army.

Dorgon naturally knew what they meant, stood up, looked to the south with cold eyes, and said: "The army will be assembled overnight, and the army will continue to attack tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" Daishan, Dorgon and the others responded enthusiastically and in a deep voice.

There is a flat river in front of them, no soldiers and no danger, so they should fight quickly, occupy it as soon as possible, continue to advance eastward, and push into Edo!

Dorgon took a quick rest and prepared for the next round of offensive. At this time, the news that he broke through the Guanmen Strait finally reached Tsushima Island.

When Yang Sichang and others saw it, they were naturally overjoyed. A group of people looked at the good news and smiled happily.

Standing on the pier, with the night wind blowing, the captain of the guard beside Yang Sichang looked at him and said, "My lord, are you relieved this time?"

Holding the letter, Yang Sichang looked at the sea with his hands behind his back, and said, "Dorgon's battle will definitely shake the entire Wa Kingdom. The next step is to advance quickly, without giving Tokugawa Iemitsu time to react, and push into Edo!"

Chapter 1387

The captain of the guard is an experienced veteran soldier who has followed Yang Sichang for many years and fought in both the south and the north. He said: "The country of Wa is a long and narrow island. There are no fortresses or big cities. The troops are scattered and each acts independently. At this time, it is easiest to use blitzkrieg. Once it breaks through, as long as the speed is fast enough, it should be able to enter Edo in five days."

Yang Sichang waved his hand and said, "Don't be so optimistic. The Tokugawa family is just a three-generation shogunate with a strong foundation, so they won't be defeated so easily. Besides, they still have an army of [-] in the north... they must be fast and steady. As long as there is no major defeat, the eradication of the Wa Kingdom is within sight."

Before being blocked by the Guanmen Strait, the Ming Dynasty was very anxious, but the Guanmen Fortress was broken, so there is no need to worry about everything, step by step, it is enough to destroy the Wa Kingdom.

The captain of the guard thought for a while, and said: "The Tokugawa shogunate has used more than 30 troops, and the [-] will definitely not move easily. In this way, the shogunate should not have much spare power. The last general's suggestion, Dole Dagon's cavalry, dressed lightly, went straight into Edo regardless of everything!"

Yang Sichang pondered, and said: "What about the logistics? If Dorgon can't attack for a while, he will be trapped inside, which is like throwing himself into a trap."
