Chapter 322: A method of warfare that leads the world for centuries (please subscribe!)

"These Japanese people are really stupid!" Wang Xianwu was already a little impatient. He and Zhu Tiangui had previously agreed to try their best to ensure the integrity of Edo City. After all, it would be the emperor's property from now on, and it would be easier to search for property after the war.

Sitting on the chair, Wang Xianwu slowly put down his fan. He was ready to try out a new trick taught to him by Emperor Zhu Kezang.

"Let the Royal Air Force of the Ming Dynasty go to the sky and equip it with secret weapons." Wang Xianwu decided to give the Edo Japanese one last chance.

Soon, when several hot air balloons from the Royal Air Force of the Ming Dynasty passed over Edo, the little brothers in the air force were busy dropping leaflets!

The leaflets inside were naturally scattered all over the place, and were blown to every corner of Edo Castle by the wind.

Naturally, many Japanese people in Edo Castle saw the hot air balloon and picked up the leaflets on the ground.

Many Japanese were so frightened that they fell to their knees, thinking that the leaflets were God's will.

Even though Tokugawa Tsunayoshi had sent samurai and ashigaru as quickly as possible to collect the leaflets, and ordered the Japanese people not to go out, they still couldn't stop the Japanese civilians from reading the leaflets.

After all, many leaflets were dropped directly on their homes. There were too many Japanese people in Edo and there were many courtyards.

Seeing the surrounding shogunate officials fleeing in fear like headless chickens, and the elder shouting something at him, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was sweating profusely, his face was ashen, and he murmured: "What kind of weapon is this?"

One of the black tornado rockets landed less than a hundred meters away from the castle tower. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was so frightened that he took a few steps back, feeling his head buzzing with shock.

In order to increase the appeal of propaganda, the Ming Dynasty used a large number of "unhealthy" cards as propaganda pictures, coupled with descriptions that made Japanese soldiers desperate, which could incite anti-war sentiments among front-line soldiers or provoke conflicts between superiors and subordinates within the enemy's army.

For example, one of the anti-war leaflets from the Ming Dynasty: there is a pair of shoes on the ground, and there is a shogunate official uniform that was taken off on the chair.

There is another picture like this, which depicts a beautiful young Japanese woman lying on a wicker chair. The text behind it says that due to the Japanese expropriation of soldiers, the people's life was poor and difficult, and ordinary Japanese women were forced to sell themselves.

Originally, he had some hope of expelling Akito, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

The meaning of the text above is: "When the Japanese soldiers went to the front line to fight, the powerful people in the shogunate were sleeping with the soldiers' wives or fiancées."

Therefore, many and many leaflets were inevitably seen by Japanese civilians and soldiers, and they even took a lot of them home: in addition to looking at them - it was also good to make a fire and cook.

Propaganda that understands people's hearts best is to add fuel and jealousy to the facts and stir up emotions. The Ming Dynasty did a good job in this regard and can be said to be several centuries ahead of the world.

They have long been accustomed to living like cattle and horses, so they dare not disobey the samurai masters.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi almost lost his breath and vomited blood when he saw the content on the leaflet.

It not only has the meaning of threat, but also has the purpose of conveying one's own intention.

The shogunate army was in complete chaos, with countless men and horses running wildly and roaring.

The picture accompanying this sentence: the top is a Japanese soldier who died in battle, and the bottom is a picture of the Japanese soldiers who followed the Ming Dynasty and became popular and drank spicy food and joined the army. It is clearly advising those soldiers to surrender to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. If they surrender, they will

With good treatment, failure to surrender will lead to death.

"It seems that these little Japanese are still unwilling to surrender. Instead of toasting them, they will have to drink fine wine and launch rockets!" Wang Xianwu completely lost his patience and wanted to attack with fire.

There was an exclamation in Edo Castle, and everyone screamed in fear. Even Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the usually calm general who conquered the barbarians, had a drastic change in his expression.

In addition to these unhealthy things, there are also many normal things, such as: "Accept the protection of Ming Dynasty until the end of the war. You will receive medical care and food, and you will not be humiliated or abused."

After receiving the leaflets, many Japanese soldiers looked at their superiors with slightly unkind eyes.

The appearance of the propaganda leaflets caused huge cracks in the Tokugawa army.

Therefore, in Japanese period dramas, you can occasionally see scenes of civilians kneeling down to apologize to samurai.

Another example: "The enemies of Ming Dynasty are not Japanese civilians, but the superior Japanese nobles and warriors!"

Japanese commoners in the Edo period would avoid samurai when walking on the road.

It can be said that Ming Dynasty's propaganda war was as powerful and elite as advanced weapons through systematic persuasion from many aspects such as the nature of war, moral justice, relief of concerns, and methods of surrender.

This absolute power made them feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts!

The only difference is that in the street battles later, when they fought against the Japanese Army, they were no longer as desperate as before.

Rockets rained down like meteors falling from the sky, landing over Edo Castle.

They never expected that Ming Dynasty would still use this trick. In fact, this trick has been used by people in history, most of which were shot with bows and arrows.

Hundreds of black tornado rockets soared into the sky, dragging their long tail flames and screaming into the sky. The sky was filled with long fireworks trails. It seemed like a rain of meteorites was falling, burning the entire sky!

"Here it comes, here it comes again!"

Because his wife had been bullied by his boss before.

Amidst the sound of a series of explosions, turbulent air waves spread in all directions, and charred corpses were everywhere.

But it is undeniable that this move really caused chaos for the Tokugawa shogunate and others.

The grease contained in the rocket also splashed around the city with the explosion. Houses, streets, and trees were all ravaged, and the city was dotted with flames and turned red, like a burning cloud.

In Edo Castle, bloody corpses can be seen everywhere, as well as fragments of armor and flags scattered everywhere.

The privilege of the samurai in the Edo period was that they could wear swords and directly draw their swords to kill civilians with bad attitudes and disrespect for the samurai.

However, this was not enough. At this time, Xia Keshang's thoughts were still budding. Although the Japanese soldiers had ideas in their hearts, they did not dare.

Because if you accidentally bump into a samurai, it will embarrass the samurai and disrespect society. The samurai has the right to kill the opponent directly.

But he had no choice because the Japanese country was very hierarchical, and just because his superior was a samurai.

The Japanese in the city, whether rich or poor, were all in chaos. Countless people were running and screaming. This unprecedented power made them feel desperate and overwhelmed!

Amidst the shrill roaring sound, hundreds of huge rockets fell into the city, causing an explosion. The entire Edo City trembled instantly!

Black fog continued to rise in Edo Castle, followed by bursts of thunderous explosions.

Wang Xianwu sat on a chair and put down the telescope. The effect of the secret tunnel should be okay. The Ming Dynasty still had to rely on firepower first tactics.

He felt that these Japanese people definitely had psychological problems, otherwise such good psychological warfare would be of little use.

However, we still need to continue to increase the intensity of bombing to deter the Japanese.
