Chapter 325 The Great Fire Burns the City of Kyoto (Please subscribe)

More and more Ming troops rushed into Kyoto City, quickly poured into all parts of Kyoto City, and occupied various city defense fortresses in Kyoto.

Wang Xianwu also rode towards Kyoto city.

As the first general of the Ming Dynasty to lead troops to invade the Japanese kingdom of Kyoto, soon after he entered the city, he saw Emperor Reigen Shiren and all the members of the royal family prostrate outside the gate of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

These members of the Japanese royal family have been surrounded by the Ming army that came first.

"Shiren is willing to go to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty. He has issued an edict to the whole country and resigned from the throne. He advises the people of the Japanese country not to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Please treat the Japanese people well and not to hurt their lives or destroy their property." Shiren saw Wang Xianwu coming.

After that, let’s talk first.

What a shame, those bastards of the Tokugawa shogunate, if they hadn't tied him up, he would have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and become a younger brother. How come today he was attacked by troops and had to leave the throne.

The Tokugawa shogunate was afraid that Emperor Reigen would be supported by the Ming Dynasty, and would definitely try to destroy the Tokugawa shogunate, so they resorted to such a dirty trick.

Those who play politics have a dark heart!

Now, the Tokugawa shogunate left an empty shell of the emperor and the royal family, rowing boats all night long to hunt for Ezo Island in the north.

The next important thing is to clean up the island and welcome its new owner.

Regarding the fire in Kyoto, the local chronicles of Ming Dynasty recorded that after the brutal Tokugawa shogunate escaped, in order to strengthen the walls and clear the country, without leaving supplies for the Ming Dynasty, the prosperous Kyoto was burned down.

Ishii Shinichi saw with his own eyes that a gangster who had come to threaten his mother several times because of loan sharking was stabbed to death by a tall Ming Dynasty soldier.

About a month after the capture of Kyoto, the gunfire from various parts of the island gradually became sparse.

Unlike the soldiers of the shogunate and daimyo, these Ming soldiers seemed to have little interest in invading civilian homes.

That's right, the Governor's Palace in Japan will be removed soon. The Governor's Palace can only exist in the colonies. Japan Island will soon become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally it will have to be replaced by a Protectorate Palace.

He remembered that Zhu Kezang told him that he could leave other places alone, but he must carry out a thorough cleansing of Kyoto.

"yes!"

The squires, who were frightened by the high-intensity gunfire, took some gold and silver with them and ran away as fast as they could, risking their lives, by boat.

He had to admit that the Japanese in Kyoto might be under the direct control of the emperor. In addition, most of the Japanese who could stay in Kyoto also had inextricable interests with the royal family, so they were loyal enough to the emperor. If they were not eliminated,

If it falls, I'm afraid the grass will be cut but the root will not be removed, and the spring breeze will blow it and it will grow again.

The uncles who usurped his father's inheritance, the grain merchants who broke bones and sucked marrow, the arrogant warriors, the mediocre lords and vassals, and even the temple where my mother spent all her savings to send her to study, the mages who married wives and had children were equally sanctimonious.

Kyoto was captured and the special operation to conquer Japan was basically a success. As long as we continued to advance the front lines and drove away the Tokugawa shogunate, everything would be complete.

In the process of advancement, along with the propaganda of the Zunming faction, the resistance received by the Japanese civilians in the Ming Dynasty was not fierce. Therefore, the Ming army was not as brutal as in Kyoto, and military discipline was still strict.

This is a hopeless world, forever lifeless.

In Ishii Shinichi's memory, this world is cold and cruel.

Following the response from the Ming Dynasty's messenger, Shiren and other members of the Japanese royal family began to be taken away.

The Japanese gentry, who had confiscated a large sum of funds for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty's Protectorate of Japan, were sent out of the country with bayonets by the Ming army.

Therefore, an order was issued: "Take away all members of the Japanese royal family! Temporarily take them to the local prison, torture their relatives and relatives of the ten clans, and confiscate the Kyoto Imperial Palace! The whole city will be sealed for five days. During this period, the Japanese Army will not seal their swords!"

It is said that they are from the army of Ming Dynasty.

This simple swordsmanship was something Ishii Shinichi had never seen before.

Until one day, another foreign army that had never been seen before entered Nagano Castle.

The anger of the Japanese royal family was gone, only fear remained.

He had some knowledge, but he only knew that the Ming Dynasty was not far from the Japanese country. It was a very large country that had already perished.

The so-called "expulsion of good men" is only a scene seen in the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats and nobles who are attached to the land.

As for who the Great Protector will be, Ming Dynasty is still choosing.

It is impossible for the rural clearance committees established in various places to kill all the landlords. After all, not all landlords are bullies.

Needless to say, it is quite useful. Both the Japanese and the authentic Ming people believe this statement.

Only Japanese women could go to Luzon Island, but these gentry brought their families with them. The places arranged for them by the Ming Dynasty were the Southeast Asian islands, such as Sumatra, Java, and the Malay Peninsula. These places were in urgent need of Confucian people!

Ezo Island was Hokkaido in later generations. At this time, Ezo Island was still relatively desolate, and the Tokugawa shogunate had no other way out. It could only go there and bully the Ainu people to survive.

Of course, they were not running aimlessly. Ming Dynasty showed them a clear path: the Nanyang Islands.

Moreover, it is also an island, so these Japanese gentry will definitely be able to get used to it!

The descendants of the gentry called this movement: expulsion of good men.

Other than that, I don't know much.

History books are written by the victors.

Ishii Shinichi cautiously looked through the gap in the window.

Shiren had already begun to tremble. Although he spoke beautifully, he was still a little scared when he thought of saying goodbye to this flowery world.

Wang Xianwu looked back at the Japanese who were surrounded by the Ming Dynasty's army. Seeing that these Japanese looked at him with hatred, his expression gradually became serious.

As a Japanese with a surname, Ishii Shinichi is the son of a rural scholar.

Instead, they quickly killed the unscrupulous elements who took advantage of the chaos and the landowners and bullies who committed evil deeds, and they were ruthless and not sloppy.

His father died of pneumonia two years ago, and Ishii Shinichi lived with his mother in Nagano Castle.

Subsequently, the Japanese Army under Wang Xianwu struck hard, and the entire Kyoto was plunged into a sea of ​​fire.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had another trick, which was to send out the country's "virtuous people" with serious gifts.

In the eyes of ordinary people or progressive-minded gentry, things are completely different.

This trick was learned from the Tatars and is a great way to shift the blame.

Today, there are still a large number of landowners in large areas of Japanese island land, so what should we do?

But even such a group of fierce people would actively line up in a team on the empty streets and walk in an orderly manner.

If it were a samurai with the same fighting ability, he would probably have walked away with a sword in his hand as if he didn't recognize his relatives.

It was precisely because he was curious about why these Ming soldiers walked so rhythmically and so pleasingly that Ishii leaned out of the window, hoping to see more clearly.

This move made him quickly decide on one idea: he should strive to become a Ming Dynasty man.
