Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 685 I won't act anymore, I already have a bright father!

Shiren has figured it out, so he doesn't want to act anymore. Now that he has a bright father, he still plays the emperor?

It’s not true. There are only [-] taels of white rice a year, and he doesn’t spend it alone. He has to raise a “theatre troupe”, buy props, and repair the house—the house can leak wind, rain, mold, It stinks, but it can't collapse!That was his stage, where would he perform if it collapsed?

So Emperor Shiren is really poor and frightened, poor and crazy!Now that Father Ming praises him as a real king with a yearly income of several million, what kind of poor actor is he, and what kind of fake emperor is he?

Thinking of this, Shiren suddenly stood up from the moldy and smelly tatami, strode forward, and walked up to Captain Aoi, looking at him with scorching eyes, without saying "babbling" Crane sound", but said in human language: "Aoi Shangshi, I can be a king, and I can also serve as a vassal to the Great Ming Dynasty... But I don't have the strength to resist the shogunate! Although Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's flag is all I have left Kyoto, but the samurai under the control of Kyoto Soshidai can still easily take over the Imperial Palace."

Aoi Anton smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as you are willing to step back as the king of Japan, this envoy and Lord Guan Bai will take care of everything. Your Majesty can just sit quietly in the palace and wait for the good news."

Can you just sit in the hall?

Shiren always felt something was wrong... Hadn't he been sitting in the palace all the time before?How to become a king or sit comfortably?

A winter scripture quickly added: "Your Highness, I have already done the calculations. As long as you can take back the great government, your hiding place will not be less than 200 million shi... The income of the 200 million shi hiding is all It can be used for expenses in the palace. In addition, Nijo Castle and Osaka Castle, which are now owned by the general, can immediately become the palace of the king!"

The so-called Tibetan territory is not actually a territory directly under the central government, but a territory managed by daimyo and feudal lords from various places.The monarch only collects money and does not directly participate in management.

This kind of benefit of hiding in the ground saves worry and trouble, just lie down and collect rent.The disadvantage is that the monarch cannot directly control the land, so he cannot control the warriors and farmers attached to the land by occupying the land.

In history, the collapse of the Toyotomi regime after the Sekigahara War was largely due to the fact that most of the territories passed down by Hideyoshi were hidden lands-about 100 million koku, while the direct-controlled territory was only 65 koku.When Tokugawa Ieyasu used the name of a reward to deprive the Toyotomi family of the hidden places, the Toyotomi family was powerless to resist... because those hidden places were not under the actual control of the Toyotomi family.Otherwise, the territory of more than 200 million stones can at least maintain an army of [-] warriors!

This is quite a huge interest group, and if Tokugawa Ieyasu wants to deprive them of their interests, it will inevitably arouse fierce resistance.And the [-] samurai army plus the strength of Moori, Shimadzu, Uesugi, Nagamunebu, and Ukita, the defeated Sekihara generals, is enough to fight Tokugawa Ieyasu again.

But how does the emperor Shiren, an actor, understand this?When he heard that the 200 million stones were hidden in the ground, his eyes were narrowed into slits with a smile.

"Yaoxi, Yaoxi," the actor emperor nodded repeatedly, "Then I will sit in the palace and wait for your good news!"

A winter scripture saw that the Emperor Actor had already coaxed him, so he hurriedly continued the words of the Emperor Actor, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will arrange everything by myself...but later I will invite Toda Zhongchang, the governor of Kyoto, into the palace , and ask Your Highness to come forward and persuade him to be loyal to you."

"Okay!" Emperor Actor nodded again, "When can you invite Toda into the palace?"

Aoi said: "After the general is defeated in Hakata Bay, you can invite Toda into the palace!"

"The general's defeat?" The Emperor Actor was still a little worried, "The general has mobilized 15 troops this time, plus the troops of the powerful feudal clans in the Western Kingdom, there are at least [-]. Will the army really be defeated?"

"That is inevitable!" Yi Dongjing said to the actor emperor, "Because the ministers will issue secret orders to the southwestern feudal vassals in your name, announcing the fall of the curtain with the help of the Ming army, and designate General Tokugawa as the enemy of the court! "

One did not tell the truth to the Emperor Actor—in fact, he, Kanbai-sama, has sent the "Edict of Falling Curtain" to Shimadzu Tsunaki, Mori Tsunahiro, and Kuroda Mitsuyuki in the name of the Actor Emperor!

The emperor has already turned his back...but he doesn't know it yet!

……

"Sanriyue Mountain, Yuanjian Mountain, Yuecheng Mountain... These three mountains are connected together to form a crane-wing formation, and the Quanming Mountain where Lord Gongfang is located is located behind this crane-wing formation. Now I The army formation has been completed, you can look down at the enemy camp from a high position, it is foolproof!

In addition, troops have also been deployed in Dazaifu, south of Fukuoka Castle, and Gaozu Mountain and Hyuga Pass, east of Fukuoka. "

Inugong Fang Tokugawa Tsunayoshi has now arrived at Inunaki Mountain, thirty or forty miles west of Fukuoka City-Inugong Fang went to Inunaki Mountain, which is quite good.

Before the arrival of Inugongfang, the coalition forces of the Southwest feudal lords had already deployed a large army on Sanriyue Mountain, Yuanjian Mountain, and Yuecheng Mountain to the east of Inuning Mountain, forming a crane-wing formation. Set up troops on the high ground.

In a temple that was regarded as the shogun's headquarters, Masatoshi Hotta, the leader of the shogunate, was introducing the deployment of the army to the Inugong Fang.

Looking at the positions of the various armies marked on the map, Quan Gongfang breathed out lightly: "So... the Ming Kou who landed have been surrounded on three sides?"

"That's right," said Hotta, "Ming Kou is indeed surrounded on three sides... Fukuoka Castle is flat and low-lying, and the surrounding hills are now under the control of the Shogunate Army and the Southwest Allied Forces. , Yuanjian Mountain, Yuecheng Mountain, Gaozu Mountain, Hyuga Pass and the high ground north of Dazaifu have all built strong camps, which are strong enough to trap the Ming invaders."

Well, the situation is still good!

The Ming army moved slowly after landing in Bodo Bay. They did not attack the surrounding highlands immediately, but were satisfied with controlling the strongholds around Bodo Bay. Therefore, from the map, they were surrounded by Japanese pirates.Moreover, the Japanese pirates around the Fukuoka Plain also occupy high ground, and they can condescend to deal with the Ming army...the advantage lies in the Japanese!

"Negotiations with Ming Kou..." Fang Quan asked in a low voice.

"Gongfang," Masato Tsuchiya leaned forward and said, "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has already arrived in Fukuoka City, and he also proposed to 'remove the title, enter the Confucianism, and follow the Celestial Dynasty' and limit the territory of Japan to Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. , Ezo and its affiliated islands and other four requirements. If we can agree, then the Emperor of Heaven will confer the title of Lord Gongfang as the King of Japan."

The conditions that Zhu Heqi offered were not harsh...Of course, there is no decisive battle yet, and Ming has not won an overwhelming military victory, so it is meaningless to offer very harsh conditions.

Once the dog's army is defeated, then Zhu and Qi will increase their prices!

"The king of Japan..." Inugong Fang murmured, "This is the most difficult thing to accept!"

The emperor himself could happily accept this, but he couldn't.

Because although the Actor Emperor is an actor, he plays the role of the descendant of God, and he still plays a little "divine personality". It was cut.Just like the Emperor Showa in history went to kneel and lick the Emperor Mai, no right winger can bring a knife into the palace to kill the Emperor!

But it's not appropriate for the dog to do this!He thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "If, I mean if! If Ming Kou lands in Osaka, and then fights all the way east to Kyoto, killing all the people in the Imperial Palace... Do you think there is such a thing?" possible?"

Both Masatoshi Hotta and Masao Tsuchiya were taken aback by Inukokata's words, neither of them dared to say anything... they didn't hear it!We didn't hear anything!If you heard about this, you might be murdered!

The atmosphere in the house is getting weird...

Just as it was strange, Ruo Nianyose Inaba's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Master Gongfang, Lord Gongfang, Ming Kou has entered the battle, and Ming Kou's army is leaving Fukuoka City and coming towards us!"

Chapter 686 Not Sekigahara, Better Than Sekigahara!

In the early morning of July [-]th, Fukuoka, the front line of the Tatara River.

General Tokugawa's three-leaf sunflower flag, Hinomaru flag, and the sixteen-petalled eight-fold table chrysanthemum pattern symbolizing the imperial family appeared on the top of the mountain.This means that General Tokugawa himself has come to the front line in person!

The Inugong Fang Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is standing on a watchtower on the top of Mount Yuanjian, holding his beloved binoculars produced by the Crystal Palace, and scanning the Ming army lines on both sides of the Tatara River. The continuous sound of drums and suona, accompanied by the sound of orderly steps, the infantry of the Ming army entered the battlefield continuously in a wide column. wide line.From the camera, we can see the bayonets inserted into the muzzles of the Ming army infantry's flintlock guns shining in the sun, and the sun and moon military flags and team flags marked with numbers lead the soldiers carrying the guns neatly and orderly. The sequence of progress is like a forest of bayonets moving one by one.When they spread out into a horizontal line, you can see that the infantry standing in the front row are all covered with breastplates that reflect the dazzling light.

Under the bright autumn sunshine of Kyushu, the orderly armored soldiers contrasted with the golden color in the field, conveying a strong visual stimulation, making everyone who saw them feel invincible.

After the infantry formation of the Ming army was completed, their cavalry and artillery also appeared on the battlefield.

The Ming army had a large number of cavalry, more than 1 cavalry, and they were divided into cuirassiers, chain cavalry, and light cavalry without armor.Among them, groups of light cavalry were placed on the two wings of the infantry, while cuirassiers and mail cavalry were placed behind the second line of the Ming army's infantry that formed a column - a piece of silver light shining and flags waving!

The artillery of the Ming army was divided into three types: long artillery, mortar artillery, and rocket artillery.Among them, the long cannons were pushed to the position in front of the first line of the infantry, and they were not evenly arranged, but concentrated in the center of the large formation, that is, directly in front of Yuan Jianyue.Of course, those long cannons couldn't hit Yuan Jianyue. They were aimed at the Allied Forces of the Eastern Kingdoms under the command of Tokugawa Mitsuki located in the vicinity of Jiuyuan Village and Yamada Village under Yuanjianyue Mountain.

The mortars of the Ming army used the method of light artillery and super-caliber bullets, which were mainly used to support infantry at close range, so they were equipped at the battalion level. These small artillery are now placed behind the horizontal and column columns of each battalion level of the Ming army. .

The strongest artillery of the Ming army is undoubtedly the multi-tube sugar rocket launcher, which simply shouldn't have appeared in this era!

Now the artillery battalion under the jurisdiction of an infantry town of the Ming army has two rocket launchers and is equipped with twelve multi-barrel sugar rocket launchers.In this Japanese battle, Emperor Zhu sent a total of seven infantry towns, with a total of 84 multi-barrel sugar rocket launchers, and they are now concentrated in the rear of the Ming army's first-line infantry line.

After the formation of the Ming army, looking from Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's vision, there was a blue and dazzling silver light on the horizon. All the officers and soldiers on the front line stood upright in awe and silence.Even Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who was more than ten miles away on the top of Yuanjianyue Mountain, could feel the murderous aura exuded by the Daimyo Soldiers on the opposite side, and couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Although it was the first time for the dog to be on the battlefield, he could still see that the Ming army's aura was far superior to his own army...

Quan Gongfang suppressed the extreme anxiety in his heart... because he knew little about the war in the age of sugar medicine, the so-called ignorant is fearless, so he can withstand it without collapsing.He glanced at Masao Tsuchiya next to him. This Tsuchiya had "experienced" the Ming, Qing, and Korean Wars, and was besieged by the Ming army in the Japanese Pavilion in Caoliang and starved for a long time. After returning to Japan, he was in charge of negotiating with Ming. He was also ordered to study the military strategy of the Ming army, and he was regarded as the "Knowledge School" among Japanese samurai.

"Tsuchiya, you know Ming Kou's military strategy best, what do you mean by Ming Kou's formation?"

Tsuchiya, like Inugongfang, has been watching with a binoculars, and has seen some tricks.Hearing Quan Gongfang's question, he immediately replied: "Master Gongfang, I see that the formation of the Ming army should be to concentrate its forces to attack the Eastern Allied Forces in Jiuyuan Village and Shantian Village."

"Hit Jiuyuan Village and Shantian Village?" Quan Gongfang was taken aback, "Aren't they afraid that our two wings will rush down from Sanriyue Mountain and Yuecheng Mountain to double-team them?"

On Tokugawa Tsunakichi's side is a Crane Wing Formation, and on Sanriyue Mountain and Yuecheng Mountain are the two wings of the Crane Wing Formation, all of which are elites from the Western Kingdom.Among them, the army on Mt. Sanriyue was commanded by the boss Masatoshi Horita and Tsunaki Shimadzu, and the army on Mt. Yuecheng was commanded by the old middle-aged Okubo Tadatomo and Mori Tsunahiro.

The middle road of the Crane Wing Formation stretches from Jiuyuan Village and Yamada Village all the way to Mount Yuanjian.Among them, those placed in Jiuyuan Village and Yamada Village were the Eastern Allied Forces led by Tokugawa Mitsuki of the Mito Domain.Placed on Mt. Yuanjian is the troops composed of the Tokugawa family banner and the royal family led by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

In addition, there is Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's "General Headquarters" on Inuning Mountain to the east of Mount Tomi, which is composed of troops dominated by pro-vassal warriors, commanded by Tokugawa Mitsusada, the lord of Kishu Domain, as the general reserve team.

And according to the military strategy learned by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the two wings of the Crane Wing Formation are usually attacked first. If the two wings are placed on high ground, then the two wings should be attacked... That's why he sent those not so strange Xiguo elite soldiers They are all placed on the mountains on both wings-those one-water appearances!

And the troops placed in Jiuyuan Village and Yamada Village are all genealogy generations who are more closely related to the Tokugawa family...

Now the Ming army is making it clear that they are not attacking the two wings but the center... Is this going to charge into the pocket formation?

Tsuchiya Masao also shook his head: "Ming Kou's chief general is their emperor Zhu Heqi. He is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. He is comparable to a god. How could he make such a mistake?"

When Tokugawa Tsunakichi heard this, his spine felt a little chilly... Zhu Hechi is Tokugawa Ieyasu, so what about him?Mitsunari Ishida?

Who are Shimadzu Tsunaki and Mori Tsunahiro?

Not good!

Tokugawa Tsunakichi looked left and right, and the "Ichiji Sanxing" flag and the "Maru Cross" flag fluttering on Mount Mikazuki and Yuecheng Mountain made him feel palpitations.

At this moment, waves of cheers came from the opposite side. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi hurriedly raised the binoculars to look, and found a petite knight wearing a breastplate and a silver helmet, counting Under the escort of ten cuirassiers, they galloped past the front of the Ming army.

……

In the cheers of the tide, Princess Ming'an, Li Wenji, is galloping. She is 16 years old this year, and she is at the same age... Three years ago, it was she who handed over the Kingdom of Korea to Zhu Hexi !

But this matter has won her a very high reputation, especially those soldiers of the Korean Ming army who joined the Ming army and received unimaginable "high salaries", and even regarded her as a saint of North Korea.

That's why Zhu Heqi let her go into battle in armor to boost morale!

At this time, Zhu Heqi boarded a watchtower that had just been set up, accompanied by Song Shilie and Anukodun.He looked at the black Japanese invaders in front of him, and at the colorful flags hidden in the forest on both wings, and then asked Song Shilie: "Mr. Huayang, are you all connected?"

"We're all in touch!" Song Shiyeol said, "Both Shimadzu Tsunaki and Mori Tsunahiro have obtained the imperial edict from King Shiren, and know that Tokugawa Tsunakichi is the enemy of the court... As long as we defeat the middle lane of the Japanese pirates, they will definitely come back immediately." Raise the flag of righteousness that has fallen."

Zhu Hechi nodded, and said to himself, "This is the reincarnation of heaven! I don't know how angry the old turtle Ieyasu will be if he sees that his great-grandson is about to turn into Ishida Sancheng?"

"Your Majesty," Anukedun asked for the battle at this time, "I and Ce Wangtai Ji are willing to lead Junggar's iron cavalry to break through the middle of the Japanese pirates for Ming!"

"Okay!" Zhu Heqi nodded and smiled at Anu Ke Dun, "After the shelling is over, I will be waiting for Anu's good news!"

Chapter 687 Righteousness is in the Celestial Dynasty, and the Emperor has defected to the enemy!

The eighteenth day of the seventh month of the third year of the Grand Duke.

From the eyes of Tsunahiro Mori, the second-generation feudal lord of the Choshu Clan in Japan, Ozen Dafu, and his attendant, it was already full of fire and blood.

Although the Sanriyue Mountain Highland where he was located was not attacked by Ming invaders, no, it was bombarded and violently attacked by Ming soldiers.However, looking to the south at the battlefields of Jiuyuan Village and Yamada Village, one can see Da Ming soldiers beating the Tokugawa samurai of the Tokugawa family in different ways.On the open and flat battlefield, there are high and low smoke columns from Ming army rockets everywhere.The Ming army's chain armored cavalry and infantry wearing blue clothes (some with breastplates) will take turns to attack after each round of rocket artillery and long artillery bombardment.The positions and camps held by the warriors of the Eastern Kingdom collapsed quickly without exception under the impact of the Ming army's cavalry and infantry.The battle flags with weird family crests on each side have been overturned one after another.Wearing armor and holding a spear or musket, the ashigaru risked their lives to fight under the command of senior samurai.But helplessly, the equipment, training, and even fighting spirit of the Tianming soldiers crushed them.

The samurai army in Japan, regardless of equipment, tactics, or training, is still in the Warring States era that has gone away.Over the past few decades, there has been no progress at all, and even a certain regression has occurred due to the long period of peace.

Moreover, even the Japanese samurai army in the subversive state did not perform as well as the generals of the Ming army in the Korean battle.If you don't count the battles of defending the coastal fortresses, the most successful Japanese invaders in North Korea was the Battle of Byekjekwan.Takakage Kobayakawa, Tachibana Muneshige, Kuroda Nagamasa and other famous generals of the Warring States Period all came to the field, and tens of thousands of troops were mobilized, but they couldn't deal with the two or three thousand Ding cavalry of Li Rusong and Cha Dashou... and Anukodun and The [-] Junggar cavalry led by Cewang Allabtan were no weaker than Li Rusong's and Zha Dashou's Liaozhen servants.Moreover, they also have fire support provided by rocket launchers and five-pound field artillery that can shake the mountains when they fight, and there are more than [-] North Korean and Ming troops to cooperate with them-Zhu Heqi still keeps his hands, he is here to collect dogs, They were not here to kill dogs, so they only sent more than [-] North Korean Ming army infantry and Junggar cavalry to cooperate.

The Junggar cavalry couldn't move forward, and the North Korean infantry went up to line up and shoot them. After the line-up was finished, the artillery and rockets fired again. After the bombardment, the Junggar cavalry rushed up again.

This level of offensive, not to mention the Mito Komon (Tokugawa Mitsuki) who wrote "The History of Japan", even if his grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu played, he would not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, the Dongguo samurai under Tokugawa Mitsuki have a ready-made camp to hold on to.And Junggar's mail cavalry likes to shoot arrows, shoot guns and hack people... They are the kind of cavalry who can do everything, but can't do anything.

Therefore, under their repeated attacks, the samurai army of Tokugawa Mitsukaki's pedigree masters can still rely on a samurai spirit... Although the spirit is commendable, the loss is still huge!

Therefore, after being beaten by the Ming army for a few rounds, Mitsuki Tokugawa couldn't bear it anymore, and kept sending people to Mt. Mikayuesan and Mount Yuecheng to ask for help from Mori Tsunahiro and Shimadzu Tsunaki.

And Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who saw the mountain from afar, saw the Pudai coalition army commanded by Tokugawa Mikaki being rubbed on the ground by Ming, and the jade was about to be broken. , Shimadzu Tsunaki sent troops to double-wing the Ming army that broke into Jiuyuan Village and Yamada Village... Although only a few thousand troops have broken into Jiuyuan Village and Yamada Village, there are still 8 to [-] people gearing up and eager to try.But the Ming army could wait, but the army commanded by Mitsuki Tokugawa couldn't wait, and they would be wiped out if they waited any longer!

So Tokugawa Tsunayoshi can only send people to remind him again and again!

And Mori Tsunahiro is not the Sekihara God of Cookery Yoshikawa Hiroka, he has ordered the whole army to assemble two quarters of an hour ago, ready to go down the mountain.He also ordered all the feudal lords and vassal lords who lead troops under him in China to come to his main line to listen to orders!

"Marquis of Changzhou, everyone is here..."

The shogunate Okubo Tadatomo's hoarse voice came from behind Mori Tsunahiro.Tsunahiro looked back at him, saw a very nervous face, and then he laughed: "Okuboden, don't worry... I have already had lunch."

Great, Okubo Tomada finally showed a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Gongfang will never forget your contribution."

"Of course! Hahaha..." Maori Tsuna smiled and walked into his main formation.

The battle was already crowded with feudal lords and important ministers of various feudal lords wearing various exaggerated armors... Before Maori Tsunahiro walked in, these people were still talking and laughing loudly, saying something like "Marquis of Changzhou" I will definitely eat my lunch for a long time", "Nagato Cuisine has at least [-] dishes" and so on.But when the big guys saw the Changzhou feudal lord in armor, Okubo Tadatomo and two small surnames walking in together, they were all dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

Shouldn't Maori's specialties be eaten for a long time?

What happened to you Maori Tsunahiro?Didn't you hear the movement of the Ming army firing cannons, didn't you see how badly the Tokugawa family was beaten by Pudai?

Now rushing down from Sanriyue Mountain is to die!

While the big guy was staring blankly, something even more unexpected happened. Mori Tsunahiro suddenly shouted: "His Majesty has an order!"

what?

His Majesty the Emperor……

The people below all opened their mouths wide open, looking at Tsunahiro Mori in surprise.

Okubo Tomotada was also stunned, and just about to say something, the two Tsunahiro's surnames had already pulled out their samurai swords and put them on his neck.

At this time, Mori Tsunahiro had already found out a small box with a chrysanthemum pattern painted on the confession. After opening it, he took out a stack of folded white paper from inside, and held it up high, "This is the imperial decree of His Majesty the Emperor! His Majesty the Emperor!" Said: righteousness lies in the heavenly dynasty, facing the enemy Tokugawa's family!

The army of the Celestial Dynasty was originally invited by His Majesty the Emperor to help him get back the great government! "

The emperor rebelled!

The emperor actually turned to the Ming Kou, no, he turned to the Celestial Dynasty!

"Yes, but didn't the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty say that the title of the emperor is an abusive title? He also asked His Majesty to submit to him. The emperor is the descendant of God!"

Immediately someone objected.

"Hahaha," Mori Tsunahiro said with a smile, "Are you suspecting that I have falsely conveyed the will of His Majesty the Emperor? Since you said that His Majesty is the descendant of God, please come forward now, in order to restore the dignity that the descendant of God should have." Fighting for honor and power... You don't think that His Majesty's current situation is what a child of a god should be?

Do you want to fight against the [-] Tomorrow Soldiers under the mountain for the sake of the Tokugawa family who have become the imperial court? "
