Edo is more than 300 kilometers away from Heiankyo, which is still quite far for this era.

Fortunately, the shogunate domesticated a large number of homing pigeons for the convenience of message transmission. It was precisely because of this that the news of the fall of Edo reached the ears of Emperor Higashiyama so quickly, and that was why he professed his surrender to Emperor Zhu Dai. telegraph.

In the palace, Emperor Higashiyama, who looked full of food, picked up a bowl of cold water on the table and took a sip.

The palace is about to run out of food. His current food has turned into black beans and there is only a little bit every day.

This was what he ordered the people in the big meal class to use the last white rice from the people in exchange, but even so they couldn't last more than a few days.

Chaoren, who was about to belch from hunger, drank cold water to satisfy his hunger while looking out of the hall eagerly.

At this moment, a palace attendant led a strange man in.

"Futian, which member of the Qing family wants to donate money?"

Chaoren stood up and said.When he met a stranger, the first thing he thought of was that finally a daimyo was willing to give some charity, so he wouldn't have to starve to death.

The attendant was a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, this is the envoy from Ming Dynasty. He is here to discuss with you...discuss..."

"This officer is Li Hongyuan, a member of the Qianhu Office of the Imperial Guards of the Japanese Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty. I am not here to discuss anything with you. This is a letter from His Majesty to you. In addition, His Majesty has spoken. If you want to change the status quo, you can't just talk about it. So simple."

"The words have been brought. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Li Hongyuan didn't delay at all. He interrupted the waiter's hesitation and directly stated his purpose.

Such directness and the impact of the information he brought on Chaohito made the Japanese emperor, who was about to starve to death, unable to react for a moment.

It took a long time before Chaoren came back to his senses.

He was a little angry. After all, he was also the emperor of Japan, but the man in front of him who called himself Daming Kinyiwei had no respect for him, not even the most basic honorific.

But he didn't dare to get angry, what if it was true?Now he wants to seek help from Ming Dynasty!

He took the letter from Li Hongyuan.

"Futian, give this Master Li a gift."

"No need, I will leave on my own... You don't even have a palace wall, how dare you call it a palace?"

Li Hongyuan muttered to himself and left. Looking at his retreating back, Chao Ren suddenly remembered Li Hongyuan's self-introduction just now.

The Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty housed thousands of households in Japan!

Could it be that the power of the Ming Dynasty had already reached the Japanese state?If this person is really Jin Yiwei, then his choice to turn to Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly extremely correct.

He hurriedly opened the letter in his hand.

For Chaoren, a tool man, Zhu Heyi's requirements are actually very low.

In the letter, he just asked him to go to Edo, make a show of misery in front of the people, criticize the rule of the Tokugawa family and other daimyo, and then announce the rebellion and label the shogunate army as a rebel.

The next thing will be taken over by Ming Dynasty, and then when things are basically stable, Chaohito can commit suicide. Since the emperor cannot exist for long, in order to facilitate subsequent actions, Zhu Heyi even temporarily retained the title of Emperor of Japan.

But he didn't expect that because of his words, the tool man really thought a lot.

"If you want to change the status quo, it's not as simple as just talking...I must do something! I must let the Ming Emperor see my sincerity!"

After thinking for a moment, Chaoren seemed to have made a decision.

"Futian, go and call the queen."

……

No one could have imagined that Emperor Higashiyama, who had been a mascot all his life, was also a ruthless person. In order to let the Ming Dynasty see his sincerity in marrying Shimazu Ayaka as the queen, and in order to make a bigger shit basin for the Tokugawa family, Asahito actually He killed his wife.

When Zhu Heyi learned the news, he had to admire Chaoren as a ruthless person, but in this way, Chaoren would not be able to stay.

A few days later, with the help of Kinyiwei, Chaohito successfully arrived at Edo Castle from Heian Kyo.

In order to show his own value, Asahito began his miserable speech as soon as he arrived at Edo Castle.

Being kept in captivity, being ignored, and being used as a mascot were just trivial matters in Chaoren's speech. In Chaoren's words, sleeping with a minotaur was almost the norm.

For the sake of the Kuro Tokugawa family, Asahito dared to say anything without shame. In the end, he even said that his wife's death was because he was beaten to death for not serving the defeated Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

As Chaohito spared no effort in his performance, the people of Edo Castle were filled with indignation at the emperor's tragic experience.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chaohito also took the opportunity to declare the shogunate army as a rebel army and form a new army. The name of this new army was called the Great Japanese National Liberation Army, or the Japanese National Liberation Army for short.

In order to cooperate with Chao Ren's performance, the Ming Xiejun troops stopped their persecution of Edo people.

At the same time, the Ming army also stood up at this time, stating that the Ming army was requested by the Japanese emperor to help him overthrow the brutal rule of the shogunate, help Japan achieve national liberation, and came to achieve common prosperity in Greater East Asia.

The tragedy in Edo Castle was caused by the officers of the Ming Xiejun disobeying orders and acting without authorization. The Ming army has now arrested all the "criminal officers" and will be shot to death as a warning to others.

The people of Edo City actually have no idea about achieving national liberation and achieving common prosperity in East Asia, but the killings in the city have indeed stopped.

The hundreds of "Ming Xiejun officers" who were subsequently shot collectively made the people of Edo feel bad and at the same time, they also lowered their guard a lot.

But what really made the people of Edo accept this change was the establishment of the Japanese National Liberation Army Recruitment Office.

"The settlement fee is 20 kilograms of rice and one kilogram of sugar per person. Military salary is one tael of silver per month, and all required equipment and rations are provided by the army!"

When such recruitment conditions were announced, the Japanese National Liberation Army Recruitment Office was instantly surrounded by people.

A group of unkempt Japanese youths looked at the bags of white rice and sugar piled at the entrance of the recruitment office with gleaming eyes.

Thanks to the rigorous screening of the Ming Xiejun, the merchants, landowners, shogunate officials, samurai, and some elderly people who were deemed to be of no use value in the city were systematically and selectively disappeared.

The original population of Edo was more than 60, but now it has stabilized with only 30 left. The remaining 30 are all at the bottom of society. (Change the previous article to add more, killing 30 cannot be less. After all, Edo is Tokyo.)

These people at the bottom of society who have been working as cows and horses all their lives have never seen such treatment.

In fact, the treatment of the standing armies directly under the Tokugawa family is quite high. Compared with the light foot peasant soldiers of other daimyo, their treatment is almost the same as that of low-level samurai.

A more straightforward point of view is these banner warriors, and the banner standing army is the Eight Banners Master of the Japanese Kingdom.

Therefore, if you want to become one of them, you must not only test your reincarnation skills, but also your up and down management is extremely critical.

Obviously, it is impossible for the cows and horses to come up with the expenses required for taking care of things without mentioning their birth.

Now that the Japanese National Liberation Army's recruitment announcement came out, the cows and horses were excited.

"My lord, is this monthly salary paid every month?"

A little dwarf asked anxiously.

"Isn't this nonsense? If you don't pay every month, why would you call it a moon ring?"

The soldier at the recruiting office glanced at the man and responded.

After receiving such an answer, the dwarf and everyone around him became excited.

1 tael of silver!How many things can you buy?

There are also settlement fees for 20 pounds of white rice and 1 pound of sugar!This is simply samurai treatment!He must be a good soldier!

However, the little dwarf's excitement was dampened by the soldier at the recruitment office the next moment.

"What are you having fun with? Look clearly, our recruitment requirement is that the minimum height is four feet eight inches (145.8 centimeters). How tall are you?"

The soldier at the recruitment office pointed at the red engraved lines painted on a wooden board at the door and said with disdain.

The little man looked up at the scarlet markings on the board.

This is too different...

"Great! I happen to be four feet eight inches! I can be a soldier!"

"Get out of here, I'm four feet nine inches, I'll go first!"

A tick mark made the onlookers groan, and of course some of them exclaimed because they met the requirements.

Although four feet and eight inches is still far less than the height of a bayonet-mounted rifle, there is really no way to ask too much for the height of Japanese people.

Even in World War II, the minimum requirement for Japanese conscription was only 150 centimeters, and now we can only make do with it.
