    Next, Cao Ling read out the imperial edict again, and Wang Quan once again showed off his hard-practiced ability to read the imperial edict in Japanese. After the edict was read out, Tokugawa Hidetada's face looked like he had eaten shit!

    Tokugawa Hidetada wanted to jump up and shout: "Bullying the emperor is not just a matter for our Tokugawa family. All powerful daimyo in Japan do this. Why did our Tokugawa family encounter so many people?"  The nosy Ming Emperor?"

    But now Tokugawa Hidetada does not dare to make a mistake even if he is suffering from internal injuries. He can only suppress the grievances in his heart and accept this fatal imperial edict!

    Originally, Cao Ling thought that after receiving the order, Tokugawa Hidetada would pretend to be a dead dog and wait for Beibei to be sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to accept the just trial of His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Empire!

    But what people didn't expect was that Tokugawa Hidetada said in an extremely impassioned tone in front of the public: "I know that I have sinned deeply, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to atone for my sins. If General Mingguo is willing, please accept my Tokugawa first  Family loyalty!"

    After saying that, Tokugawa Hidetada seriously knocked his head to the ground. Seeing this scene, Tokugawa Iemitsu and other Tokugawa family retainers did not feel any indignation or humiliation at all. On the contrary, these people's faces showed excitement.  look.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu followed his father and kowtowed heavily: "The Tokugawa family is willing to be loyal to the general, and please take him in, the general!"

    The other retainers of the Tokugawa family also knelt on the ground and kowtowed. It seemed that they were determined to follow their master and surrender to the death!

    However, Cao Ling was not so arrogant that he dared to accept the allegiance of the Tokugawa family. He took the horse with him to avoid Tokugawa Hidetada's gift, and said in a deep voice: "In my Ming Dynasty, only His Majesty the Emperor is the supreme being, and I have no right to accept it.  Any familyĦŻs allegiance, if you father and son really abandon the dark side and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, then go to the Ming Dynasty and let His Majesty handle it!Ħħ

    After listening to Wang Quan's translation, Tokugawa Hidetada felt bitter in his heart, but he said without hesitation: "My father and son are willing to go to the Ming Dynasty. Before His Majesty the Emperor decides on my father and son, the territory and vassals of the Tokugawa family will be taken care of by the general!"  "

    At first, Cao Ling couldn't figure out why Tokugawa Hidetada was so cooperative, but after some thinking, Cao Ling figured out that the reason why Tokugawa Hidetada did this was simply to let him retain the power of the Tokugawa family.  This would also prepare the Tokugawa family for a comeback in the future, but Cao Ling knew that the wise and mighty Emperor would not give the Tokugawa family any chance of a comeback.

    After figuring out what Tokugawa Hidetada wanted to do, Cao Ling nodded cooperatively and said with a smile: "In that case, you and your son should get on the road as soon as possible! I will take care of the affairs of Japan!"

    After Tokugawa Hidetada thanked him again, he turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "From today on, you all will obey the orders of General Cao Ling. I hope you will serve General Cao Ling more. Please!"

    How could all the retainers not know Tokugawa HidetadaĦŻs thoughts?  They all kowtowed and said: "Please rest assured, sir, my subordinates will do their best to serve General Cao Ling!"

    ¨OĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦ¨OĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦĦÔĵ you ¨D

    After singing the double act between Tokugawa Hidetada and his retainers, Cao Ling applauded on his horse, but there was deep ridicule and disdain on his face!

    Tokugawa Hidetada's heart suddenly pounded, and he quickly asked: "What does General Cao mean by this? Isn't the sincerity of my Tokugawa family enough?"

    Cao Ling sneered and said: "You are worthy of being a descendant of the 'Magical Turtle' Tokugawa Ieyasu. This ability to bend and bend freely is beyond the reach of ordinary people. I really admire you!"

    When Tokugawa Hidetada heard Cao Ling mention the word "Turtle", his old face couldn't help but blush, because even if his father created the Tokugawa Shogunate, the reputation of "Turtle" could not be washed away no matter what!

    The reason why the wise and powerful Tokugawa Ieyasu received such a title was mainly because he always looked like a yes man in front of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Moreover, as long as Toyotomi Hideyoshi summoned him, Tokugawa Ieyasu would definitely go there in disgrace, which had shown that he was very loyal to Tokugawa Ieyasu.  How resolutely Toyotomi Hideyoshi's orders were carried out!

    And no matter what issues Toyotomi Hideyoshi raised, Tokugawa Ieyasu would never be the first to express his stance. He always had to figure out Toyotomi Hideyoshi's thoughts before he would do what he wanted in order to win Toyotomi Hideyoshi's favor.  It is because of this that Tokugawa Ieyasu, a surrendered daimyo, became one of the "five elders" of the Toyotomi family, and also created the most basic conditions for the Tokugawa family to fight for hegemony over Japan!

    Today Cao Ling brought up the old story again just to remind Tokugawa Hidetada that I know all the bad things about your father, so please stop acting in front of me!

    Tokugawa Hidetada naturally understood what Cao Ling meant, but he only slightlyAfter a moment of embarrassment, he said with a serious face: "What did you say, General? On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, the General came to the Japanese country to attack the rebels. He felt deeply guilty for the people being attacked, so he let the entire Tokugawa family  It is my intention to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, please donĦŻt misunderstand me, General!"

    Seeing that Tokugawa Hidetada was really shameless, Cao Ling could only wave his hands and said: "Since you have such intention, I would like to thank you for your hard work in advance. Now you and your family will all go to my office."  Wait for it! One day later, the support fleet of the Japanese expeditionary force of the Ming Empire will return to Jeju Island, and your family will leave with the ship. As for what will happen to you, it depends on His MajestyĦŻs decision!"

    Tokugawa Hidetada knelt down and said: "General, don't worry, Hidetada will definitely apologize to His Majesty the Ming Emperor. No matter how severe the punishment His Majesty gives Hidetada, Hidetada will be willing to accept it!"

    Cao Ling said nothing more to Tokugawa Hidetada, just waved his hand, and the Tokugawa father and son were escorted away by the soldiers. Although the remaining retainers of the Tokugawa family stayed where they were, they all looked nervous and had erratic eyes.  I donĦŻt know what they are thinking!

    Cao Ling didn't care at all what these people thought. After today's battle, Cao Ling had understood a truth. With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, it was a complete dimensionality reduction attack for the Japanese country, just like a person pouring boiling water from a pot.  Like an ant's nest, it is impossible for the Japanese to make any effective resistance in this situation. Since the Japanese are unable to resist, there is no need for Cao Ling to bother with them!

    "Disarm them and let them, together with the people of Edo City, build a temple on the old site of Edo City!" Cao Ling looked at Gesleng and ordered, then left with Wang Hua!

    Geslen naturally took care of the rest. After Cao Ling left, he directly ordered all the surrendered shogunate soldiers to remove their armor, and then drove them to collect the scattered corpses!

    Since Cao Ling led his army to land in Japan, it only took six or seven days to burn Edo Castle, causing 50,000 people in Edo Castle to die in the flames. Today, he fought a decisive battle with Tokugawa Hidetada, and destroyed Tokugawa Hidetada in half a day.  Nearly 20,000 people!

    After all, Cao LingĦŻs journey to conquer the Japanese country has just begun, and it has already caused the death of nearly 70,000 Japanese people. This does not include the sailors who supported the fleet and captured nearly 30,000 young men!

    It can be said that as soon as Cao Ling's army arrived, the Japanese people around Edo Castle were unlucky. Not only did they die and their families were ruined, but even if they survived, they would not escape the tragic end of being sold into slavery!

    But this is the trend of the times. In the original history, the Chinese people also suffered from the misfortune of the peasant army and the Hou Jin Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of families were killed at every turn. Now it is just because of Zhu Youxiao's time travel that this disaster has been brought to an end.  Passed on to foreigners!

    When the surviving people of Edo City and the prisoners of the shogunate army cleared out the burned-to-white Edo City, they sadly discovered that it was difficult to find the bodies of the victims among the ruins!

    The fire of Edo Castle that burned for two full days has turned everything in the past of Edo Castle into a fleeting smoke, but before sadness could occupy the hearts of those losers, boundless fear swept over them!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
