The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

After the one-eyed Lei Xiong,

Chang Kuohai joined the battlefield holding a terrifying giant axe.

This unparalleled warrior rushed back and forth in the Japanese army, and blood splattered and broken limbs flew everywhere he passed. He was indeed a brave and unparalleled warrior.

"Protect the general!"

The deputy general of the Xiandeng Camp sighed helplessly when he saw this, and then signaled the soldiers to prepare to shoot immediately.

Of course, the three-eyed gun could not be used this time. It would be a joke if it hurt one of their own people, so the Rumi gun was quickly in place and started shooting.

The thunderous sound of the fire gun sounded, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Japanese army.

At first, they were frightened by the fierce slashing of the one-eyed Lei and Chang Kuohai, and then the sharp firearms in the hands of the Ming army were so frightened that they cried for their parents.

Before they could react, one warrior after another fell into a pool of blood, unable to even resist!

What kind of terrifying weapon is this?

The Ming army is too terrifying!

There is no way to defeat them!

Driven by the instinct of survival, many warriors actually gave up resistance and turned around and ran away in the chaos.

At this moment, Hosokawa Sumimoto was still in shock!

He was the adopted son of Hosokawa Masamoto, the most noble Japanese noble in this era besides the emperor, how could he not know the existence of firearms.

But where did these sharp firearms of the Ming army come from?

Why didn't Japan know about it before!

Those damn Japanese pirates never mentioned it!

Damn things!

"Go!"

"My lord, run away!"

Seeing the warriors under his command fleeing one after another, the confidant immediately protected Hosokawa Sumimoto and fled into the city.

Chang Kuohai chopped and killed frantically for a while, but suddenly found that there was no one in front of him, so he put away the battle axe unhappily.

Lei Xiong also came to his senses and immediately ordered: "Don't chase, guard the city gate, and welcome the main army into the city!"

Of course, he wanted to continue chasing and killing, but guarding the city gate was the most important thing.

As long as the main force entered Kyoto, the capital of Japan would be declared to have changed its owner.

The remaining Japanese troops who had not had time to escape were all killed by the three-eyed gun.

Then Tangmu, An Guo and others led the main force to the battlefield, and Tangmu did not waste words and directly began to deploy the battle plan.

"An Guo, you lead your troops to the emperor's palace, and you must... protect these Japanese royal families!"

"Lei Xiong Chang Kuohai, lead your troops to continue chasing that Hosokawa Sumiko and take down the Muromachi shogunate!"

"The rest of the generals, lead your troops to the gate of Kyoto, seize and control the gate!"

"Remember one sentence, anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

As the first confidant of Zhongshan Hou, the generals naturally did not dare to question Tangmu's orders, and they quickly took the order and left.

And Tangmu stayed at the gate, waiting for Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao to enter the city.

Soon, the entire Japanese capital was plunged into war. All the dignitaries in the city closed their doors and watched through the cracks in the windows as the Ming soldiers took over the entire capital.

An Guo led the elite troops of the Xianzhen Camp to the Japanese imperial palace.

In fact, it is disrespectful to call it an imperial palace.

After all, in the minds of the Chinese people, there is only one emperor in the world, and that is the Chinese emperor, the current Ming Zhengde Emperor.

The so-called emperors of the other vassal states, including Annan and Japan, are all pseudo-emperors who usurp the imperial system!

The palace where the Japanese king lives in front of us should be called the "Kyoto Imperial Palace". It was built in the Heian period and has experienced many fires and wars. The most recent reconstruction was after the Onin War.

It seems to have everything it should have, such as the Purple Palace and the Imperial Pond Garden, but it is still not comparable to the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

It is too small, so small that it makes people feel distressed.

After dealing with the Japanese warriors stationed at the palace gate, An Guo was about to lead his army into the Japanese king's palace, but he turned his head and looked at the elite soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp with a serious expression.

"Except for the warriors and armored soldiers, do not kill anyone indiscriminately, especially the Japanese fake emperor!"

"We are not qualified to deal with these Japanese royal family members, including those concubines. This is a taboo and will cost you your head. Remember it?"

The soldiers looked solemn and nodded.

"Also, the gold, silver, and jewelry will be distributed uniformly by the Marquis. He will never treat the soldiers unfairly. Don't lose the face of my Xianzhen Camp, otherwise I will whip him to death myself!"

It's not that An Guo is too cautious, but the mansion in front of him is different.

In any case, it is the palace of the Japanese king. What kind of gold, silver, treasures, and beautiful women must be very common.

So An Guo is worried that his soldiers will not be able to resist the temptation and violate the military order. When the Marquis blames them, some military merits will be lost for nothing, and some soldiers will be severely punished for it!

So no matter what, we should warn these soldiers first, otherwise if such a thing really happens, An Guo will also be embarrassed.

After repeated instructions, An Guo led his soldiers to fight into the Japanese King's Palace.

However, they were soon dumbfounded.

This palace only looks big, but it is empty inside.

What gold, silver and jewelry, no!

What stunning beauties, no!

What... Anyway, what should be in the palace... is not there!

There are only a group of trembling royal family members and an old man wearing coarse linen clothes like a monk.

An Guo was dumbfounded and commanded the soldiers to bring the old man up.

"Are you the fake emperor of Japan?"

Emperor Go-Kashiwara and the elder brother Katsuhito shook their heads angrily.

"I am not!"

"I didn't even hold the enthronement ceremony, so what kind of emperor am I?!"

All Japanese culture and etiquette were learned from the Central Plains Dynasty, from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Japanese emperor also called himself "I".

It's a pity that the big brother hasn't figured out the situation yet. When Anguo heard his "I" several times, he was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him with a big mouth, and shouted: "What a bastard!"

"The leader of a small country actually dares to overstep the imperial system and call himself... I think you are seeking death!"

Trespassing the imperial system!

This is a capital crime!

So even Anguo didn't dare to say that word.

Brother Shengren was stunned for a moment and fell to the ground crying.

This sudden change really put Anguo in trouble.

Aren't you talking about being a man?

I just gave you a few big mouths, why are you howling?

Brother Katsuhito began to cry while crying, saying that his life as an emperor was really frustrating.

He is the first prince of Emperor Gotsuchimikado, and his mother is Asako Nedada, the daughter of Gon Dai Nagon Nedada Nagaken.

Because the Onin Rebellion caused many sequelae, one of which was the financial difficulties of the imperial court. Not only was the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Gokashiwara unable to be held, but even the funeral of Emperor Gotsuchimikado was not held forty-three days after his death.

His father, who was the emperor of the first generation, died but had no money to bury him. The body was left there for forty-three days and it stinked with no one paying attention. In the end, several famous figures couldn't bear it anymore and they gathered money together to finally bury him. It’s settled.

But his father was buried, but no one paid attention to his own enthronement ceremony.

Brother Katsuhito also planned to levy special taxes in the controllable territory to raise the cost of the ceremony. However, Wakasa's guardian Takeda Motobu and Takeda Gendo and his son were attacked and killed by local tyrants, and the tax plan was shelved.

And Hosokawa Masamoto, that damned thief, actually said: "The enthronement ceremony is of no benefit and is a waste of money."

So to this day, even though he has been the emperor for almost ten years, he has not yet held an enthronement ceremony!

Because of the in-depth study of the etiquette of the Central Plains, the concept of etiquette and law is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If there is no enthronement ceremony and the name is not justified, what kind of emperor is he?

Especially after Hosokawa Masamoto was assassinated by his adopted son Hosokawa Sumiyuki, the political situation in Kinei reached an extreme level of confusion, and no one paid attention to the emperor's enthronement ceremony.

Brother Qi Ren also tried to discuss with Ashikaga Yosumi, the current shogun, but it turned out that Ashikaga Yosumi was a puppet and could not escape the control of Hosokawa Masamoto.

Now, the Heavenly Soldiers have arrived, and they have given a few big mouths to completely defeat Brother Lai Shengren's psychological defense.

Why is he, the Emperor of Japan, so miserable? !

Anguo also wrote about hemp.

This Japanese puppet emperor is really... eye-opening.

It is really a strange thing in the world that an emperor should be so poor.

He still dared to overstep the imperial system. Anguo really didn't know where these Japanese royal families got the courage.

"Okay, okay, stop howling!"

"Just wait patiently for my Lord Marquis to handle it!"

"Maybe we can even organize a ceremony for your enthronement to fulfill your long-cherished wish!"

As soon as these words came out, brother Shengren stopped howling instantly and suddenly raised his head to look at Anguo.

"Is the Ming Dynasty really willing to hold the enthronement ceremony for Yue...me?"

Fortunately, he didn't say the word "I", otherwise he would have been beaten severely again.

"Why isn't it possible?"

"My Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to etiquette. Since you are the king of Japan, the enthronement ceremony still needs to be held. But if you are overstepping the imperial system, it is impossible to give you an emperor's ceremony. At most, it will be a king's ceremony!"

Brother Shengren's eyes lit up.

The King's Ceremony and the Emperor's Ceremony, these battles are not important.

As long as the Ming army leaves behind, he will still be the Emperor of Japan, because the concept of the emperor has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and external reputations are nothing. The situation is stronger than the people!

As long as these Ming troops leave, he will be the legitimate Emperor of Japan.

It might even be possible to completely eliminate the shogunate with the support of the Ming army and restore the peak period of the emperor's rule!

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan, Emperor Go-Daigo actually carried out the first imperial restoration after annihilating the Kamakura shogunate and implemented the New Deal, known as the Kenbu New Deal in history, in an attempt to regain control of the power of Japan.

However, because the new policy failed to meet the requirements of the samurai and only reused the nobles of Kyoto, it aroused dissatisfaction among the samurai. Among them, the fallen general Ashikaga Takauji was even more dissatisfied. Although he was given the title "Town" in the emperor's name, he intended to open the palace. Later, Ashikaga Takauji forced Emperor Go-Daigo to abdicate and established Emperor Komei as Emperor Chimei-in.

Emperor Komei made him the general to conquer the barbarians and established the Muromachi shogunate, which was the beginning of the Northern Dynasty. Then Emperor Daigo managed to escape after being forced to abdicate, and retreated to Yoshino in Yamato with the three sacred weapons that symbolized the emperor. This was the beginning of the Southern Dynasty. So far, the Southern and Northern Dynasties It finally took shape, and history books also call it "two emperors in one day in South Beijing".

This "Heaven" refers to Ashikaga Takauji!

After all, since the Kamakura shogunate, the imperial court has been reduced to an empty mascot. There are countless emperors who are unwilling to be controlled by others and want to regain power. Emperor Go-Daigo is the best example, but unfortunately they have all failed.

Brother Shengren was also unwilling to live such a miserable life for the rest of his life. Now he finally got the chance, so he immediately cheered up.

Unfortunately, An Guo was too lazy to talk too much nonsense with him. He Zong felt that this Japanese fake emperor was mentally abnormal, and if he continued to communicate, it would infect him.

At the same time, Muromachi shogunate.

Ashikaga Yoshizumi didn't know what was going on, so he carried Hosokawa Sumiko on his back and prepared to escape.

However, Lei Xiong and Chang Kuohai arrived in time and blocked their way. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Unfortunately, the Hosokawa family had just experienced the massacre of the Ming army at the city gate and had long lost all their fighting spirit. They were also extremely afraid of the terrifying weapons in the hands of the Ming army. After only a moment of fighting, these samurai abandoned the head of the family, Hosokawa Sumiko, and fled.

With almost no effort, Lei Xiong and Chang Kuohai took down the Muromachi shogunate and captured Hosokawa Sumiko and Ashikaga Yoshizumi alive.

There is no doubt that the two of them made the first contribution in this battle!

The Emperor's Palace was taken down in the Muromachi shogunate, and the Japanese army in Kyoto completely lost its backbone. They ran around like headless flies, trying to escape from this Kyoto battlefield.

However, the four city gates had been seized by the Ming army, so in the end, the Japanese army had no choice but to surrender.

After controlling the situation in Kyoto, Tang Mu immediately sent soldiers to clear the chaotic army in the city, and also sent people to notify the Zhongshan Marquis who was in the camp outside the city.

Looking at the rising sun in the sky, Tang Hao couldn't help but smile.

In the middle of the night, the Japanese army in Kyoto was defeated and controlled the entire Kyoto. The combat capability of the Ming soldiers did not disappoint him.

Tang Hao formally entered Kyoto with his personal army, and then went straight to the Emperor's Palace.

After all, the Japanese emperor is a royal family that the Japanese people have always respected, and this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Tang Hao wants to reform Japan next, so this Japanese emperor is a good trump card.

As for Ashikaga Yoshihide, he is also a suitable candidate for the shogun.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to completely control Japan, it must ensure that no unified power will appear in Japan. The emperor and the shogunate are naturally the best choice because of the power opposition.

Tang Hao believes that the humiliated Japanese emperor will make a wise choice.

Soon they arrived at the emperor's palace, and An Guo immediately came up to report and briefly reported the situation of the Japanese pseudo-emperor.

Tang Hao was a little amused and helpless after hearing this. How could he not have any imperial airs at all?

It seems that the days of these Japanese emperors are much more miserable than he imagined.

When Brother Shengren heard that the Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Hou was coming, he immediately tidied up his clothes and stood in front of Tang Hao without being humble or arrogant, and then...

He was kicked out!

Brother Shengren spit out a mouthful of old blood and looked at Tang Hao with horror.

How could this Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Hou be so tyrannical and arrogant, and start fighting at the slightest disagreement?

Tang Hao walked forward, squatted down and looked at the Japanese emperor with contempt.

"First, you are transgressing the imperial system. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is no problem for me to chop you off with a knife now!"

"Second, you are just a puppet mascot worshipped by the Muromachi shogunate. Your father has been dead for more than a month and has been stinking, but there is no money to bury him. You, the pseudo-emperor of Japan, still have no money to hold the coronation ceremony. What kind of Japanese emperor can you be considered?"

"Third, I am the Marquis of Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the military generals and nobles, the confidant of Emperor Zhengde, and I command the war soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with you, a puppet mascot, my status is much higher than that of you. Why are you putting on airs in front of me?"

Hearing this, Brother Shengren was ashamed and embarrassed. Then he was ruthless and threw away his face. He struggled to get up and kneel in front of Tang Hao.

"Marquis Zhongshan, please forgive me!"

"The little king begs the Marquis of Zhongshan to support me in restoring the ancient monarchy and implementing the new policy!"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Hao laughed immediately, and laughed very happily.

"Lord Zhongshan, I am wise!"

"Since the founding of Yamato, the king has been the supreme ruler and ruled the people. However, the traitor Minamoto no Yoritomo established the shogunate, stole the power of the government, and undermined the power of the king. The same was true of the Muromachi shogunate. They are all damned traitors!"

"When Emperor Go-Daigo ascended the throne, he was determined to restore the authority of the royal family, abolish the government, start ruling the country himself, and plot to overthrow the shogunate. He succeeded and failed. In the end, Ashikaga Takauji stole the fruits of victory, established the Muromachi shogunate, and continued to steal the power of the country!"

"My prince knows that the Ming Dynasty has always advocated etiquette and law, and will never tolerate these traitors who destroy the etiquette and poison the people. Please support my prince and restore the royal government!"

Brother Katsuhito's words can be said to be passionate.

First, he took the name of righteousness and criticized the generals Minamoto no Yoritomo who established the Kamakura shogunate and Ashikaga Takauji who established the Muromachi shogunate as traitors. Then he pointed out that the Ming Dynasty has always advocated etiquette and law, and it will never tolerate these traitors to continue to destroy the etiquette and poison the people. It can be said that he has a legitimate reason and is righteous.

But Tang Hao is not a fool, so how can he be easily fooled by his words.

To put it bluntly, this guy just saw the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty soldiers to completely bloodbath the entire Muromachi shogunate, and then re-establish the majesty of the Japanese court and take back the power of state affairs that has been stolen by the shogunate!

Tang Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at this humble emperor.

"Yes, it can be!"

Hearing this, Brother Katsuhito trembled with excitement!

The great cause that Emperor Go-Daigo has never achieved in his life will be realized in his hands today!

Restore the royal government and restore the royal authority!

However, the next sentence from Marquis Zhongshan made Brother Shengren fall into an ice cave.

"But why should I do this?"

"To put it bluntly, what can you, the pseudo-emperor of Japan, give to the Ming Dynasty? And what can you give to me?"

After these words came out, Brother Shengren was stunned.

"Marquis Zhongshan, isn't the Ming Dynasty a country of etiquette? Are we going to watch these traitors destroy the etiquette of the vassal state..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Hao kicked him again, and this time Brother Shengren was so painful that he couldn't speak anymore.

"Don't use any etiquette to kidnap me, otherwise I don't mind killing you!"

Feeling the sharp murderous aura, Brother Shengren trembled and curled up directly.

Tang Hao looked at Zuo Yidao and ordered impatiently.

"Take him away and treat his wounds first!"

"Then torture him with water, so that he will remember this lesson!"

"When you figure it out, bring him to see me again!"

Zuo Yidao's mouth twitched, and he dragged the idiot away directly.

Why bother? He just can't see the situation clearly, and he has to be tortured with water before he will behave.

Tang Hao then looked at Tang Mu and quickly ordered: "In the name of the Japanese emperor, send a message to Ouchi Yoshioki and Ashikaga Yoshitane, summoning them to Kyoto to discuss the future of Japan together."

"In less than three days, I will slaughter them in the name of suppressing rebellion!"

Three days is enough time for Ouchi Yoshioki to consider the severity of the situation.

If he had any brains, he would have entered Kyoto obediently.

And then...
