Not to mention Tanaka Kuro, even Zhu Chenggong and others were surprised, Yan Yingyuan still knows how to play...

"Hahaha, Mr. Hou, you are so awesome..."

Yan Yingyuan smiled proudly:

"Commander, do you think His Majesty will negotiate with the Tokugawa Shogunate? Definitely not. In that case, of course, we must offer conditions that the Japanese cannot achieve."

Li Erniu cupped his hands and said:

"Master Hou, your conditions scared the Japanese ambassador into fainting..."

"Someone, wake him up!"

Yan Yingyuan smiled slightly and waved his hand, and the soldier immediately brought a basin of cold water and poured it directly on Tanaka Jiulang's face.

"Oh my god..."

Tanaka Kuro was woken up by cold water, and his first words were "God..."

At this time, he believed that only God could save the Japanese country.

Reaching out to wipe the water off his face, Tanaka Kuro turned over with difficulty and knelt in front of the Ming Dynasty general again.

Regardless of whether the shogunate agreed to Ming Dynasty's conditions or not, Tanaka Jiu didn't want to die, it was better to pray for his life:

"The conditions offered by the Celestial Empire are a bit high, and the villain dare not make the decision. I hope that the Celestial Empire will let the villain go back and wait until he reports to the shogunate before making a decision. I wonder what the Celestial Empire will do?"

Zhu Chenggong had no intention of letting the shogunate, an old man, go back.

Seeing that he actually spent all his money to negotiate, he was still filial, so he asked Yan Yingyuan and others for their opinions:

"General Yan, how do you think we should handle this?"

Yan Yingyuan smiled slightly:

"The governor can make the decision."

Seeing that Yan Yingyuan did not express his personal opinion, Zhu Chenggong said:

"They're just a few losers, let them go back!"

"Come here, leave the gifts brought by Kuro Tanaka and blast them out of Edo Castle."

"Here!"

In this way, Tanaka Kuro and others were driven out of Edo by the Ming army.

The old boy felt very lucky that he finally managed to save his life. I heard that the Ming army killed people without batting an eyelid.

…

After Edo stabilized, Zhu Chenggong, Yan Yingyuan and other generals went to the dock to greet Emperor Shenwu.

The Ming army advanced too fast. In order to stabilize the occupied area, Emperor Shenwu issued an order for the Ming army to suspend the attack, consolidate the occupied area, and rest for three days.

Kyoto

After escaping to Kyoto, Tokugawa Iemitsu fell into a trance and lay in bed for two days.

He didn't hear any bad news today. He felt better and hurriedly summoned Tadaki Sakai and others.

After hearing Lao Naka Sakai Tadayoshi's report on the war situation in recent days, Tokugawa Iemitsu let out a long sigh, his face showing haggardness.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"What did the Ming army do? Did they pursue Kyoto?"

Sakai Zhongqing said hurriedly:

"Reporting to my lord, after the main force of the Ming army entered Edo, the attack was suspended. There has been no action for the past two days, but the Ming army is still attacking elsewhere."

Tokugawa Iemitsu scratched his head and asked again: "Have any of Prince Kin's men come recently?"

"Yes, the Nagashima Clan and Kuwana Clan sent troops to help the king, and the Okayama Clan and Akita Clan also sent letters. They came to help the king recently."

When Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, he felt happy and said:

"Nagashima Domain and Kuwana Domain are indeed close relatives of the Tokugawa family, but King Kinto of Okayama Domain and Akita Domain are still very surprised. How are they doing today?"

Sakai Tadaki smiled bitterly:

"All four domains encountered the Ming army. Nagashima domain and Kuwana domain of the Ise domain sent troops to support the king, and the fleet was completely destroyed by Ming warships at sea.

The armies of the two feudal lords, Okayama and Akatsuki, encountered the Ming army outside Edo Castle. Under the fierce attack of the Ming army, the two feudal armies were completely wiped out..."

An elder in the shogunate added:

"Since Nagashima, the two Kuwana clans were defeated, the Okayama clan and the Akita clan were destroyed, and no one from the various feudal lords dared to send troops to serve the king."

The joy on Tokugawa Iemitsu's face solidified almost instantly...

Sakai Tadakichi hesitated to speak, and finally handed over the document in his hand:

"My Lord, Tanaka Kuro was negotiating with Ming Guo, and damn Ming Guo offered some extremely insulting conditions..."

Tokugawa Iemitsu took the document and opened it. His hands trembled violently, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he fainted.

"My lord..."

"Call the doctor quickly..."

The shogunate officials shouted loudly and hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor. When the imperial doctor arrived to check, Tokugawa Iemitsu made the appeal.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, the majestic shogunate general who conquered the barbarians, actually burst into anger after seeing the conditions offered by the Ming Dynasty.

The entire shogunate was in chaos. Fortunately, Tadakiyo Sakai, the old man, was there. He decided to support Tokugawa Iemitsu's son, Tokugawa Ietsuna, to ascend the throne, and he took advantage of the emperor to order the princes.

…

Emperor Meisho (reigned 1629-1643)

The daughter of Emperor Gomizuo and Tokugawa Kazuko, the 109th emperor and the seventh female emperor in the history of Japan.

In 1629, his father, Emperor Gomizuo, performed inner Zen and ascended the throne.

In 1643, he succeeded his half-brother, Emperor Gomitsu, and became the Supreme Emperor.

Emperor Koumei is fifteen years old this year, and their power has long been taken away by the shogunate, and it is just an empty shelf.

After hearing the news that Tokugawa Iemitsu died in anger, this boy felt that his opportunity had come and immediately summoned all the feudal clans to overthrow the shogunate.

But all the vassals knew that the Ming army was powerful, and the shogunate was so thin that a camel was bigger than a horse. They decided to wait and see for the time being and did not immediately respond to the emperor's call.

Whether it is Japan or other countries, only those who have soldiers in their hands have power. The great man once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. This is absolutely true.

The thinking of the Japanese vassals was similar to that of the Tokugawa shogunate. Whoever was in charge would ignore the emperor.

Emperor Guangming has no military power and is just a child. Which prince will listen to him? Not every emperor is as awesome as Zhu Cixiang...

The greatest asset of the Emperor of Light is that he has a beautiful sister.

Emperor Mingzheng is nineteen years old this year. He has a gorgeous and voluptuous appearance and a great figure. He is 1.6 meters tall. He does not have the genes of Japanese people at all.

I have too high standards and completely look down on Japanese people with short stature. I am still single to this day.

Seeing that all the feudal lords ignored him, Emperor Guangming wanted to marry his sister to a powerful military man in order to find a backer.

At present, the only one who can overthrow the shogunate is the Ming Dynasty. The brainless and arrogant Emperor Guangming actually sets his target on the Ming Dynasty general.

Later, I heard the news that the Ming general intended to give him the Zen throne to his sister, and then let his sister marry into the Ming royal family.

Emperor Guangming made plans to return the throne of emperor to his sister. When his sister, Emperor Mingzheng, married to the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of Japan would still be the Emperor of Japan.

In the future, we can look for opportunities to make a comeback. Once the Ming Dynasty is weak, we can expel the Ming army and unify the Japanese country.

The idea was good, but it was quite difficult to implement, and he was unable to get in touch with Ming.

But the news that the emperor wanted to surrender reached the ears of the shogunate.

Tadaki Sakai, the old man who listened behind the curtain, issued a proclamation condemning the emperor for collaborating with the enemy.

Under normal circumstances, when the emperor's authority is questioned, the cohesion of the shogunate will be strengthened.

What the shogunate elder did was not wrong, but unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of it.

One night, Jin Yiwei Lu Qian and others dressed up as Japanese warriors, captured two shogunate samurai alive, and entered the Japanese palace.

With the skills of the two of them, those proud Japanese warriors couldn't guard against them.

The next day, an earth-shattering incident came out of the Japanese imperial palace. The Japanese emperor was assassinated by a samurai of the Tokugawa shogunate.

At the scene where the emperor was assassinated, Yagyu Tairo, a famous samurai in the shogunate, committed seppuku.

The emperor's throat was cut with a knife, his shirt was taken off, and a sentence was carved on his back:

"Shameful treason!"

A discerning person would immediately guess that the Tokugawa shogunate sent samurai to assassinate the emperor.

When the emperor wanted to approach the Ming Dynasty, the Tokugawa shogunate issued a reprimanding announcement.

There was also the body of the shogunate samurai Yagyu Tairo who committed suicide at the scene. The shogunate was so speechless that he could not explain clearly.

When he learned that the emperor had been assassinated by Yagyu Dairo, the new general Tokugawa Ietsuna clapped his hands happily. He believed that he was the real boss of Japan.
