The fire is burning in Kyoto, and everything has become uncontrollable. The only thing he can do now is to sit in his general's mansion and wait.
Waiting for that hopeless wait.
When Asahi Toshihide came in, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't even raise his eyes to look at him, but stared blankly at the pot of chrysanthemums in front of him.
For a moment, Asahi Junxiu didn¡¯t know what to say to the general
"It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly said this inexplicably.
Asahi Junxiu was startled for a moment: "Ah, yes, this is really a beautiful flower"
"But it will wither soon." Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed: "Such a beautiful flower once attracted the attention of countless people, but now it will be broken and then thrown away ruthlessly. Asahi-kun, Is Japan¡¯s fate the same as this flower?¡±
Asahi Junxiu finally knew what the general was going to say, and he could only nod silently
"Okay, now please tell me how the situation is." Tokugawa Iemitsu cheered up and asked.
Asahi Shunshu stabilized his emotions: "The situation is not optimistic. The Ming army has entered Kyoto, and the fire is difficult to control for the time being. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Kyoto no longer has the determination to continue to resist."
"Really?" Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't look particularly surprised: "If they are unwilling to continue to resist, then let them go."
Chaobi Junxiu hesitated for a moment: "Chifeng Xuancheng has also disappeared. Chifeng Lord either died in the battle or has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty people."
Tokugawa Iemitsu's body trembled. This was the last thing he wanted to hear.
Like Toshihide Asahi, Akamine Nobuyoshi is an important minister of the Tokugawa family. He once placed infinite high hopes on Akamine Nobuyoshi, but why did he even betray him?
"What about you?" Tokugawa Iemitsu's voice was trembling: "When are you going to surrender to the Ming Dynasty people?"
"No, I will never surrender!" Chifeng Xuancheng seemed to have been greatly insulted. His voice suddenly became louder: "No matter how far the situation develops, I will always be with the General!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled happily: "Thank you, Asahi-kun. No matter what, I will always be with Kyoto City."
Suddenly, a guard rushed in. Completely forgetting the proper etiquette: "Sir General, what's wrong, Lord Idarigi is leading many people to forcefully break into the General's Mansion!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu's body trembled.
Asahi Junxiu stood up suddenly: "What does he want to do?"
"Don't you know what he wants to do?" Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed: "Everything is over. His best choice now is to take my head in exchange for the future of the Date family ¡±
"Asshole!" Tobi Junxiu shouted loudly: "Please don't worry, General, I would rather die in the hands of the Ming Dynasty people than suffer the humiliation of these traitors. I will definitely repel them for the General!" "
"Please, Asahi-kun."
Tobi Junxiu walked out angrily
The fire was difficult to control, and at this time Idarigi's envoy finally found Ding Yunyi. After he told Idarigi's intention, Ding Yunyi frowned.
The fire is really too big. How should I send troops to respond to Idarigi¡¯s people?
Can I capture or kill Tokugawa Iemitsu as soon as possible? The offensive and defensive battle in Kyoto is of great significance, which will largely eliminate future organized resistance in Japan.
Ding Yunyi thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Bring me the Chifeng Xuancheng."
Chifeng Xuancheng didn't know what happened. Ding Yunyi said to him slowly: "You want to save your family, your wife and children. I can completely promise you this, but before that, I need your help." I do one thing.¡±
"There is nothing greater than grief," which is the best psychological portrayal of the current Chifeng Xuancheng.
Since you have surrendered, you have lost all your reputation. No matter what the other party wants you to do, you must accept it. Complete the mission unconditionally, and then continue to live in humiliation.
So when Ding Yunyi told him the mission, Chifeng Xuancheng nodded silently
"Duan San, bring 500 elite soldiers to meet Idarigi. It's best if Tokugawa Iemitsu can be captured alive. If you can't capture him alive, you must die." Ding Yunyi gave such an order with high spirits.
By now, tens of thousands of people in Kyoto have chosen to surrender, and the capture of Kyoto is already within easy reach.
To be honest, not only the soldiers of Huben Guards, but also Ding Yunyi did not expect that the Battle of Japan would go so smoothly.
Marching in three directions, although the resistance encountered on each way was very fierce, it was not too difficult. The reason for all this is actually very simple:
Japan is already far behind.
It is not the Ming Dynasty that is far behind, but Fujian led by Ding Yunyi
??The contest between two different forces, one side is closed to the outside world and the other side is striving to make progress. Once the war breaks out, the huge gap between the two sides will be exposed in the war
?¡
The battle at the gate of the General's Mansion was very fierce.
There are hundreds of guards in the general's mansion, and the people in these guards never imagined that one day they would face an attack from their own people.
The warriors of the Date family went crazy and launched a wave of attacks on the general's mansion, as if the people standing in front of them were not their compatriots, but their enemies.
The guards of the General's Mansion can't figure out why such a thing happened!
A wave of enemies surged up like a tide, trying to use human sea tactics to completely submerge these guards. The guards also knew very well what terrible consequences they would face if they lost this place.
But there were too many enemies, and the flood of attacks made the situation of the guards precarious.
Just at this time. Toshihide Asahi arrives with reinforcements. The arrival of Toshihide Asahi quickly stabilized the situation.
Although the Date family has a large number of people, they cannot compare with the elite guards of the General's Mansion. They come with a purpose and a sense of confidence. Once their offensive is frustrated, this confidence will disappear. It will also be shaken quickly.
This is the so-called mob.
Another attack was quickly repelled. Even Ida Benzon, the son of Idarigi, suffered a minor injury. Ida Benzon, gasping for air, had to ask his father what he should do now.
"Continue to attack!" Idarigi's answer was very firm: "There is no turning back when you open your bow. Since we have come to this step, we must persist no matter what. I have already sent people to reinforce Wu Liehou. I believe they will arrive soon.¡±
"Really?" Date Benzong seemed a little unconvinced that reinforcements would arrive so soon.
"You don't understand Wu Liehou." Idarigi seemed to be thinking about something there: "He wants to seize the entire Kyoto and quickly stabilize the situation. Then capturing the general alive is the best option."
Date Honzon hesitated for a moment: "But there is a fire burning in Kyoto now"
Idarigi smiled, a bit mockingly: "Don't forget, people like us in Kyoto are not all here."
Ida Benzong immediately understood what his father said. Yes, there are actually many, many people like them
The attack began again, and Date and his son tried their best to mobilize the determination of the samurai to fight.
Crazy attacks swept past like strong winds again and again.
As he fought hard, Toshihide Asahi's heart was filled with sadness. He really couldn't imagine why the other party was working so hard. If they put this desperate effort into the defense battle of Kyoto, maybe they wouldn't be in such a passive situation now.
These traitors are extremely hateful Chaobi Junxiu let out a long sigh in his heart
Asahi Junxiu and his guards were still very dedicated. They desperately blocked the enemy's attempt to overwhelm the general's palace. The enemy was forced to leave countless corpses outside the general's mansion.
Another attack was successfully repelled
"Asahi-sama, Date-sama wishes to have an interview with you!"
A voice reached Asahi Junxiu's ears. Asahi Junxiu was silent for a while, but still stood up. He saw Idarigi walking slowly towards here, and Chaobi Junxiu hesitated again. Then he also walked towards Idarigi.
When the two stood no more than ten steps apart, Idarigi raised his voice: "Master Chaobi, everything is over, why do you continue to resist?"
"Because I'm not you!" Asahi Toshihide's words were full of anger and disdain: "Even if I fight to the last person, I will never live as humble as you."
"Yes, I am living humbly." YiDarigi didn't deny it at all. Not even angry: "I also want to save Japan, but the methods you and I use are different. No one can stop the Ming army from occupying Kyoto. Useless resistance will only lead to greater casualties. Don't you Are you really going to be willing to see the destruction of Kyoto? I have met Wu Liehou of the Ming Dynasty several times. He personally promised me that as long as we give up resistance, he will not make things difficult for us and he will treat everyone kindly. Japanese."
"Be kind?" Asahi Junxiu smiled sarcastically: "Do you really believe what he said? Do you really think that Kyoto under the occupation of the Ming army will be the same as before? No, we were all subjugated slaves at that time. We will live under the slavery of the Ming Dynasty people, and all of this was brought about by your Marquis Wu Lie!"
Idarigi shook his head, feeling very sad for the other party's stubbornness: "It's better to live in humiliation and die like this. Lord Asahi, failure is inevitable, but have you ever thought about the aftermath of the war? Kyoto after the war , Someone needs to step up and rebuild a new Kyoto!¡±
Asahi Junxiu said with a cold smile: "So this important task has to be handed over to you, right? So you have to choose to betray your country in a despicable way, right?"
"It's us." Idarigi patiently persuaded the other party: "It's us who will build a new Japan." A war-free, quiet and prosperous Japan. "
Asahi Toshihide looked up to the sky and laughed. When he finished laughing, the sarcasm in his words became deeper: "It's great, a brand new Japan, a quiet and prosperous Japan without war. This Japan is a Japan that was invaded; It¡¯s just a group of invaders who rule this place. Is this your Japan? Is it the Japan of your dreams?¡±
Idarigi sighed, knowing that no matter how hard he tried, he could not persuade the other party to change his mind: "Then, from now on we are the real enemies."
"We have been real enemies for a long time!" Asahi Junxiu kept sneering: "A country will have traitors, but there will also be loyal people. My head is right here, you can come and get it anytime, anywhere. go!"
Idarigi turned around and left here. He knew that one of them had to fall between him and Toshio Asahi.
When he returned to his formation, looking at the expectant eyes of his son and subordinates, he shook his head silently: "Asahi Junxiu is really stubborn. He is unwilling to choose the same path as us, but I want to ask Don¡¯t worry, everyone, the reinforcements will arrive soon. Before that, I beg you to make another effort for our future!¡±
In fact, there is no need for Idarigi to mobilize. Now the people under him also know that they have no way out at this point.
As long as they can wait until the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrive, each of them will be the biggest contributor!
The crazy killing has reached a terrifying level, and now life is actually not that important anymore. Those who survive will enjoy great honors, and those who die can only blame themselves for their bad fate.
The guards of the General's Mansion are also making their last efforts. They don't know when this persistence will end, but for them, every extra moment of persistence brings a glimmer of hope to the General.
Asahi Junxiu has always been fighting side by side with these guards. He knows very well that he will not be able to leave here alive today, but he does not particularly care. In his heart, he has already regarded himself as a dead person.
Asahi Junxiu vigorously waved the katana in his hand, killing the enemies that rushed up one after another. He didn't know how many injuries he suffered on his body, but he found that he didn't feel any pain at all.
General, this is the only thing I can do for you.
Asahi Junxiu thought silently in his heart.
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, a burst of intense gunfire suddenly came.
Both sides were startled and stopped their movements in unison.
Gunshots? Where did the gunfire come from?
At this time, a huge battle flag appeared in everyone¡¯s eyes:
The brave and loyal tiger guards! Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work
