Surrounded by the generals of the Ming army, Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty walked into the mansion of the General Zhengyi.

Seeing the plaque of General Zhengyi's Mansion, Zhu Cixiang was a little surprised and smiled lightly:

"The Shogun's Mansion is in Edo, so it turns out there is a Shogun's Mansion in Osaka too!"

Zhu Chenggong cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Osaka is the home base of the Tokugawa shogunate. The banquet has been prepared. Your Majesty, please come to the banquet!"

When he heard about the banquet, Zhu Cixi guessed that the soldiers were celebrating, smiled slightly, and said:

"Okay, let's go to the banquet to celebrate the victory. The generals who attended the banquet earlier must not be missing. The soldiers who have expanded the country's territory cannot be allowed to leave the banquet because of my arrival."

After that, Zhu Cihong said to Yan Yingyuan:

"I have given instructions to the officers and men to take turns on duty. Today the whole army will hold a banquet to celebrate the annihilation of the Tokugawa shogunate. Drinking is allowed, but it must be done in moderation!"

"According to the order!"

The Tokugawa shogunate had been overthrown. In order to reward the soldiers on the front line, Zhu Cixi sent an order and held a large banquet to celebrate the soldiers.

He brought a lot of delicious food and wine this time, specially prepared for the soldiers on the front line. If it were not a war time, he would definitely not come home drunk.

All the soldiers in the military camp and on the naval battleships celebrated with extra meals, but not too much drinking. They waited until the Japanese conquered all before holding a large celebration banquet.

Emperor Shenwu came from Edo. The standard of the previous banquet was obviously too low, so Yan Yingyuan asked for more good dishes, and the wine was the emperor's reward.

As soon as the Huotou Army had served the food and wine, another person came, this time Yang Bao, Li Erniu, and Chen De, and behind them was Mao Li, the leader of the Ming Xie Army.

After being notified, several people entered the general's mansion and when they saw the emperor, they knelt down and kowtowed directly without any regard for military salutes:

"See Your Majesty."

"See His Majesty the Great Emperor!"

Zhu Cixi smiled and said:

"No courtesy, take a seat!"

Zhu Cixiang has learned about their performance. They are all brave and good at fighting. Zhu Cixiang is very pleased. These young players are the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Emperor Shenwu looking at Mao Li, Yan Yingyuan smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, Maori has performed very well. He very much hopes to become an honorary subject of the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if your Majesty can make it happen?"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"Yes, as long as Maori is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and does his best for the interests of the Ming Dynasty in Japan, I will give you the status of a citizen of the Ming Dynasty!"

Mao Li did not expect that the Ming Emperor would personally grant him the status of a great citizen, which was much more beneficial than an honorary citizen.

He knelt down and kowtowed in thanksgiving:

"Thank you very much for the gift from His Majesty the Great Emperor. Maori will swear allegiance to His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty to the death!"

After the Ming Dynasty completely controls the Japanese country, it will change the Japanese country into the Japanese province. The status of the Japanese people will definitely not be comparable to that of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they will not be able to enter and leave the Ming Dynasty at will.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are different. They can travel freely to any place under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and they will also enjoy priority status that cannot be obtained by the people of overseas territories.

For example, if the people of the Ming Dynasty break the law in Japan in the future, the Japanese local government will not have the right to judge them. Only the Ming Dynasty has the right to deal with them.

Mao Li is the first person in Japan to obtain the status of a Ming citizen, which can be regarded as a reward for his outstanding performance in recent wars.

After the celebration banquet was over, Emperor Jimmu issued a decree on the second day to launch a campaign to clear up the Japanese Japanese in Osaka. Those who did not cooperate were killed on the spot, and those who obeyed were sent back to the Ming Dynasty to work for free.

…

The Guandong Plain is the largest of the three plains of the Japanese Kingdom, but it is also the latest to be developed.

This place was originally a wasteland. After it became a fiefdom of the Tokugawa family decades ago, the Tokugawa family carried out large-scale development of the Kanto Plain.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate, he designated Edo in the Kanto Plain as the actual capital. Kyoto, where the emperor lived, was only the nominal capital of Japan.

Since then, the Guandong Plain has become the political and economic center of the Japanese state, with less than 5% of the land being home to one-third of the Japanese population.

The sky was bright and mist was rising on the Wuchuan river, and dense reeds grew on the shallows, swaying gently in the morning breeze and making bursts of rustling sounds.

Along the way, the roads were crowded and filled with dust and smoke. Troops stationed in various places kept heading west. Some took boats upstream, while others walked along the river.

The Japanese people along the way looked at the hurried remnants of the shogunate with numb expressions, wondering where the front line was about to fight again.

When the last requisitioned civilian ship left loaded with supplies, a Japanese Ashigaru dressed in rags emerged from the dense reeds.

He helplessly looked at the sailing ship going away, and after a moment, he lowered his head and fled eastward.

His identity is just an ashigaru, which is the lowest infantryman in the Japanese country. He usually does labor and becomes an infantry in wartime, serving as cannon fodder and blocking bullets.

Without any hesitation, Yamada Guiichi relied on his rich escape experience to easily get rid of the troops and return to freedom.

In the hearts of the people, it actually doesn't matter where the war is going to take place or with whom.

War is a matter between the shogunate and the daimyo. Those daimyo will fight whoever they want.

Whether he wins or loses, it's all the big name's business and has nothing to do with the common people. Whoever wins won't give them a bite.

But how could they know that the Kwantung Plain was the birthplace of the Kwantung Army? How could Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty let the Kwantung Army go?

Although the Tokugawa shogunate was destroyed, many vassal states still existed in Japan.

Dozens of powerful daimyo such as Sendai Clan, Nagato Clan, etc. are still waiting and watching.

Ming Dynasty will not surrender to them.

If they want to surrender, they must lead their troops and take the initiative to Osaka to express their loyalty to Emperor Jinmu of Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, they will all be wiped out. Ming Dynasty has the strength and determination to wipe them all out.

On Honshu Island, in addition to Yan Yingyuan, the four commanders of the national defense army, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan, and Lu Xiangkun, were all there at this time.

The total strength of the Ming army on Honshu Island reached more than 200,000, and there were also 50,000 naval forces present.

Before the Ming army launched an attack on the Kanto Plain, more than a dozen daimyo learned of the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate. They were horrified and hurriedly came to surrender.

The Ming Emperor did not accept their surrender for the time being and asked them to attack the Guandong Plain together with the Ming army.

If they perform well enough, Ming Dynasty will accept their surrender, otherwise they will go to Ming Dynasty to do free labor...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After these famous people returned, they felt very unhappy. They felt that the Ming Dynasty was too arrogant, and decided not to mention surrender for the time being, nor to participate in the battle with the Ming army.

There were more than 200 vassals in the Japanese country, and it was almost impossible for the Ming army to take over the entire Japanese country.

…

Who would have imagined that the famous names of the Japanese country would have two armies of the Ming Dynasty Protectorate Army, under the command of Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, launching an attack on the Guandong Plain.

The Ming army's powerful attack power and sophisticated equipment swept the Japanese all the way. They would definitely kill Buddhas if they stood in the way of Buddha, and gods if they stood in the way of gods.

The seemingly powerful Kanto daimyo had basically no ability to resist. There were corpses of Japanese people everywhere at the feet of the Ming army...

When Huang Degong led the Tiger Spray Army across the Kanto Plain, Sun Yingyuan and Lu Xiangkun also led the army, with the cooperation of the navy, to launch attacks on Yokohama and Nagoya...

The Ming army attacked everywhere. As long as the Japanese resisted even a little bit, they would immediately massacre the city?

There is a huge gap in strength and firearms, and all wars become unilateral massacres.

The Ming army also achieved a brilliant record of annihilating the Japanese army of 80,000 soldiers after fierce battles with 3,000 soldiers.

Seeing how ferocious the Ming army was, the ten Ming dynasty decisively gave up resistance and immediately surrendered unconditionally to the Ming army. However, they were surrounded and killed by the Ming army, and the entire army was wiped out...

The Ming Dynasty had more than 200,000 troops, plus North Korea's 100,000 troops. After more than three months of fighting, all the territory of the Japanese country except Kyoto was finally captured by the Ming army.

In more than three months of fighting, the Ming army killed more than 6 million Japanese people, including more than 900,000 Japanese soldiers, and captured more than 3 million Japanese men and more than 1 million women...

This humble nation that worshiped the strong finally surrendered completely in front of the strong ships and cannons of the Ming Dynasty.

Some captured soldiers were originally going to be sent to the Ming Dynasty to work as coolies, but the Ming army was so crazy that they actually killed all the captured Japanese soldiers.

Zhu Cixi shook his head helplessly and could only send the Japanese people to the Ming Dynasty to work as free labor.

…

At this time, in the Japanese imperial palace, the young Emperor Myōsho was in a dilemma.

She originally wanted to use the Ming army to overthrow the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, but after the Tokugawa shogunate was overthrown by the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army launched a bloody massacre against the Japanese country, which made Emperor Meisho extremely distressed.

She sent letters several times to the Ming army generals, requesting meetings and talks, hoping that the Ming army would not massacre innocent Japanese people.

But the Ming army commander never gave her a reply, not even a letter.

Watching the Japanese territory fall, only Kyoto is safe and sound. Emperor Meisho doesn't know what medicine the Ming army is selling in the gourd.

When he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it. The depressed Emperor Meisho was ready to take a bath in a hot spring. He felt at ease only when he soaked in the hot spring pool.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army has surrounded Kyoto, run away quickly!"

Just as he closed his eyes, Emperor Meisho's wet nurse hurried over.

Emperor Meisho stood up from the hot spring pool, his beautiful and alluring body completely exposed to the air...

However, he then lay down in the hot spring pool again and said softly:

"Run, wherever you go, Japan is all under the control of the Ming army, just leave it to fate!"

Seeing the emperor say this, her wet nurse was speechless...
