Chapter 389 Surrender at the same time? Everything was stolen

"Everyone, last night I sent several teams to bypass the three checkpoints in Mungyeong and go to Chungju City..."

When Shimazu Mitsuhisa saw everyone gathered, he signaled for silence, and then told the story of yesterday's exploratory team's destruction and his own analysis. The heads of the various feudal lords suddenly looked ugly.

They were still immersed in the pleasure of pushing Gyeongsang Province flat, and before they came, they thought they were assigning specific steps for the next attack on Chungju.

After all, the attack has been like this all the way, assigning tasks every morning and submitting the next attack point. Unexpectedly, they woke up so early this time and got the news that they were most afraid of.

As a vassal of the Shimadzu family, the Akizuki family of the Hyuga Takanabe clan saw the atmosphere a little awkward and stood up without hesitation, agreeing with Shimazu Mitsuhisa's analysis.

"I think His Excellency Guangjiu's analysis is correct. At the same time, judging from the current situation, the people of the Ming Dynasty must be ready to completely wipe out us, otherwise they will not sink all the ships at sea.

The reason why there was no attack yet was probably because there were not many people escorting the Crown Prince of Goryeo at that time, and they had to wait for the messenger to return to the Ming Dynasty to deliver the message to their emperor.

The artillery we carry now has no advantage at all against their unknown artillery. It is no different from a firecracker.

With Chungju unable to be captured, we can only stand still and face the risk of Ming people going south to attack us at any time.

As long as the Ming people go south, have you figured out how to defend against that artillery? I think we should find a way to break through this deadlock."

Kim Dazai had a question mark on his face. Is there something wrong with his ears?

"???"

The Royal Army stationed on guard saw the people being escorted suddenly shouting. He recognized the Japanese language and was shouting at them, so he patted the Koryo general next to him.

Think about it, Nagasaki, Hirado, and other ports will not be able to get any goods from the Ming Dynasty, such as bicycles, lighters, perfumes, and toiletries. Which of them can we do?

The official road leading to Qingzhou was already occupied by horse-drawn carriages and donkey-carts of wealthy families, as well as people carrying large and small bags. Tens of thousands of people formed a long queue, and it was as far as the eye could see. The city was almost empty.

The trade routes of the Ming Dynasty will be reopened because of us, the rule of the shogunate will be ended, and His Majesty the Emperor will see the loyalty of everyone!

Next, I will arrange the things that each family needs to be responsible for. The Honshu daimyo arranged by Tokugawa Iemitsu, as well as the Matsudaira family, I intend to let them be the vanguard to attack the city.

Ogasawa was stunned in the crowd. Did he mean this? Why did he think about it himself? If this spread, Tokugawa Iemitsu would not kill him.

After the tribute with the Ming Dynasty is restored, we will dominate the entire Japanese kingdom and directly talk to His Majesty the Emperor. By then, all of you present will be generals, don’t you think so?"

Please, Your Majesty, consult with the angels of your kingdom and His Majesty, and provide me with the necessary conditions for an armistice and peace talks as soon as possible so that I can end this war."

I suggest that we send people to check the strength of the Ming people as soon as possible. If there are few people, rely on people to pile them up. As long as there are many people, they will always be able to pile up."

"The Hosokawa family agrees."

His Majesty the Emperor has been deceived! He has been imprisoned by the Tokugawa family. We went to war without receiving His Majesty's real orders. Isn't this a betrayal of the Emperor?

Tokugawa Iemitsu was blinded, betrayed His Majesty the Emperor, made us leave the stable and peaceful life of Japan, and provoked a powerful enemy.

This way we can test whether the Ming army has other weapons besides the artillery, but we have to knock down Wenqing first..."

"That's what I said, haha. In this case, please quickly order the Japanese envoy to come up and plead guilty to me! Then quickly go to Qingzhou to report the victory.

When the group arrived at Jinshan County, the governor Jin Dazai was greeting people at the top of the city, speeding up the delivery of supplies and setting up cannons for defense. Civilians a mile outside the city had also cleared the woods, making them look a little bare.

"Nani?"

"Are you here to persuade them to surrender? We just captured Quanzhou yesterday and are here today. They really have a big appetite. No need to bring them, just kill them directly."

At the foot of Chungju Castle, Shimazu Shikaichiro was led into the city through the main gate. It was here that he looked at the gate and behind the Goryeo soldiers, there was another checkpoint.

"Don't know?"

At the same time, he would spy on the Ming people's support for the Koryo people and see what other weapons the Ming people had besides the artillery.

Your Excellency Guangjiu, what are your ideas? Tell me. Now that our retreat is blocked and there is a Ming army in front of us, we must open up the situation as soon as possible.

On the other side, Shimazu Mitsuhisa's family generals have also arrived at the main gate of Munqing. After all, they all set off early in the morning to deliver messages.

Now, taking advantage of Tokugawa Iemitsu's invasion of Jeolla Province and the dispersion of the Japanese army, they were able to surrender, hoping to cooperate with the Koreans and keep Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The sirens and the explosions of rocket launchers sounded almost at the same time. It took the Goryeo defenders two-quarters of an hour from getting up to gathering to rush to the city. After all, the war had not yet reached Chungju, and it was not time to really sleep in their clothes at any time.

"You are, you are betraying the Japanese country."

Jin Dazai shook his head. He didn't believe in the Japanese people at all. It was strange to think that they suddenly didn't want a place that was within easy reach.

Several checkpoints in Mungyeong were reinforced due to the Goryeo War fifty years ago, and I will lead people to carry them out..."

Dazai Jin was too lazy to meet the Japanese envoys. In the current situation, the Japanese were fighting as if they were in an uninhabited country, so they sent people here, probably because they wanted to capture Jinshan without any troops.

"Guardian, they are here to negotiate a truce and ask for peace talks to end this evil war. To show their sincerity, they use Jeolla Road as the boundary and promise not to move forward one step further."

"Guang Jiu-san, you disappoint me so much. I thought you could tell us some way to deal with the Ming army, so that we could reduce our losses or gain victory.

The official suddenly felt that something was wrong. This Japanese man had been speaking in Japanese. Maybe the soldiers from the Kingdom of Shang could not understand it?

From this, you can see that he has thought about it seriously. He hopes to overthrow the shogunate more than you do, and hopes that the emperor will not be deceived by treacherous ministers. This is good!"

"Count me as one of the Nabeshima family."

Shimazu Mitsuhisa began to integrate the forces of various armies based on his own ideas, and everyone was ready to deal with the surrender that the Ming army needed to see.

So he bowed solemnly directly, as if asking Sun Chuanting to make the decision. Sun Chuanting's hand holding the tea trembled slightly when he heard it. What kind of drama was this?

"Making the decision? What a joke, you Japanese invaded Goryeo several times. Fifty years ago when Emperor Wanli was the emperor, your Toyotomi shogunate invaded Goryeo, and even conspired to invade the Ming Dynasty. At that time, your Shimazu family was not innocent.

"No, the Japanese people have always been cunning and barbaric. This may be a deliberate strategy by the Japanese people to let us relax our alertness. Therefore, we should still be alert when we should be alert."

Why? You say, why?

As long as we get the support of the Ming people and let them know that we are being forced to beg for mercy from the Ming emperor, their ministers will definitely not make things difficult for us.

With such elite troops guarding him, Zhao Youchong had an extremely sweet sleep when he returned to his cage. He now wished that the Japanese pirates would come up and hit the wall, and be smashed to pieces by that mysterious cannon.

The smile on the face of Chungju Governor Zhao Youchong was like a chrysanthemum. Unlike the Geumsan Governor, he was not afraid at all that this would be a fake surrender by the Japanese in Chungju.

"Mitsuhisa-dono, I am not too talkative, but even if the Ming people don't intervene, do you think you can win against General Tokugawa's group?

Just our families together are not enough to fight for the pro-vassal group in this state. When the time comes, we will kill each other, but we will only gain the advantage of the Ming people who are watching from the other side. I don't agree with it."

The expression of the Munqing official who was escorting Shimazu Shikaichiro suddenly changed. The order he received was not to allow contact between the Japanese and the Heavenly Soldiers of the Kingdom of Japan. He did not expect that this Japanese would actually do so.

Then we can bribe their supervisors, give us time to send a message to the Ming Emperor, and slowly and completely occupy Gyeongsang Province.

"Naiteng..."

When Shimazu Shikaichiro heard about Sun Chuanting's official position, he vaguely felt that the bachelor in front of him was a high-ranking official, and the rank of Taifu was even higher.

By the way, I also need to ask the general of the country to send someone over to reprimand the Japanese people, and reprimand them well!"

As for the Koreans wanting to take him there? Sun Chuanting just sent someone to inform Zhao Youchong. Well, that was very polite.

"Hey! You guys..."

Sun Chuanting, who was overlooking the direction of Mungyeong from the city wall, heard the request for instructions on the intercom, thought for a moment, and ordered Shimazu Shikaichiro to be brought to the headquarters.

But as long as we are willing to discuss with the people of the Ming Dynasty, turn the sword and release goodwill.

Jin Dazai instantly felt that his tense body relaxed. It was better now. The Japanese people actually took the initiative to ask him to surrender. His merits were great, his promotion was great, and his chances of becoming a high official were great.

It must be conveyed to the governor, the observer, and the king that, with my own arguments, the Japanese took the initiative to ask me to cease the war and seek peace.

Now that the Tokugawa family has become a general, they have once again launched a war that angered the Ming Dynasty. This kind of behavior will not only completely cut off the Japanese country from the outside world.

Our country, Satsuma, is already tired of war and just wants to focus on doing business. A month ago, the Tokugawa shogunate led an army to gather on the coast..."

"I am the envoy of the Shimazu family of the Japanese country. On behalf of my general, I propose an armistice to the general of the Japanese country! I am the Japanese country..."

The Ming Dynasty punished you by banning trade and business. I didn't expect that you didn't learn your lesson. Now the Tokugawa shogunate has come back and invaded Goryeo again. What? Do you think the Ming Dynasty can't do it?

Goryeo has no enmity with you. You did not send a diplomatic note, provoked a war for no reason, invaded Gyeongsang Province, Jeolla Province, bullied Ming Dynasty's tributary countries, and still wanted Ming Dynasty to make decisions for you.

This wave of operations directly confused the governor. With such a huge advantage, the Japanese only came to rob and then took the initiative to cease the war? Where is your moral integrity?

Your Japanese country provoked a war with Goryeo for no reason, why do you want to cease the war now?"

If it is proven, the Ming people are only responsible for defending the city and will not attack us. They may even need orders from the Ming court to attack.

If it were a traditional war, he would be so happy that he would switch sides before the battle. After all, this meant that the balance of the battle was completely tilted.

My lord is peace-loving, and now our lord has suppressed the militant faction arranged by General Tokugawa, proactively stopped the dispute with Goryeo, and stopped attacking.

The Japanese may not know that the Shangguo army is in Qingzhou, but the news that the Shangguo army is in Seoul has spread throughout Korea. It is normal for the Japanese to be wary and not dare to face it directly.

Thinking of this, Jin Dazai suddenly came back to his senses, with a clear look on his face, so that's it, yes, the Shangguo army is in Qingzhou.

The garrison minister in Chungju and the right observer envoy of Chungcheong Province, Chungju Prefecture Yin, was checking the Ming army's record with his subordinates at this time. While checking the victory letters, he was stunned when he heard the letter from Mungyeong Kuaima and his men.

The head of the Ogasawara family asked carefully, asking out the doubts of most people. The chance of their minds getting crazy was not high. This kind of thing must be feasible before he would express his position.

Shuito Kuroda looked disappointed, Shimazu Mitsuhisa smiled and did not refute, but looked at everyone and continued.

But if it is found that the Ming Dynasty has contacted the Ming Dynasty court, and a large army will enter the country soon, then the Ming Dynasty ministers who come to Goryeo will definitely need military merit to go back and be promoted.

"Well, are you finished?"

Now that there are few soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, those of us who defect in battle will be greatly rewarded. This is a crisis for all of us, but also an opportunity for all of us.

"Master Jin, do you want to spread the news of the Japanese people's request for peace to the city? Call the people back to the city? Such a move will waste people and money."

But, please ask the general of the country to make the decision for our Kyushu vassal!"

Those who have passed down the generations are only close to the ancestors. At this moment of taking sides, if you really want to sing the opposite, Tokugawa will not see that you are loyal, and you will have to be eliminated first.
To be continued...
