Chapter five hundred and fourteen: Tokugawa Katsuyoshi and his nation

The Japanese army defending Kyoto surrendered to the Ming League!

When the first Japanese army to put down their weapons and walk out of the defense line appeared, more and more Japanese troops chose to go out of the anti-aircraft cave to surrender on the spot, and handed over the entire Heian Kyo to the Ming League. Only a few officers from the samurai family chose to commit suicide by separatism and died for their country.

What a great so-called Patriotic War that was regarded by Ashikaga Yoshiki and countless Japanese people, it ended in such a way.

The war dominated by the unsuccessful technological gap in the times cannot be affected by human will.

The Japanese army defending Kyoto is unrestrained and its combat effectiveness is strong, but in front of thousands of heavy artillery, they are destined to be just a group of lambs waiting to die.

Xue Ke's combat boots set foot on the land of Kyoto!

"Be sure to capture Shiren alive!"

This was the first military order issued by Xue Ke after entering the city. This glorious task was handed over by Xue Ke to his own guard camp.

The greatest contribution to the destruction of Japan is always to be captured alive and called Emperor Guang. This contribution naturally cannot belong to those who join the army.

"Yoshika Ashikaga is a man, so I will give him this face."

Since Ashikaga Yoshiji chose to surrender within the time limit, Xue Ke was willing to keep his promise. Whether it was the surrendered Japanese army or the entry into Kyoto, Xue Ke did not kill even one person, restraining military discipline and stabilizing the overall situation.

"How to deal with Japan is not something that I am qualified to worry about. Similarly, no one can make his own decisions before His Majesty's holy wishes are issued. Violators will be killed without mercy."

Xue Ke warned several commanders who joined the army, and was so scared that they nodded and hurriedly left the strict discipline.

It is not difficult to capture Shiren alive. There are only less than a thousand guards in the entire Emperor Palace. Facing the strong guard battalion of wolves and tigers, they were completely wiped out without even resisting for half an hour.

Shiren was tied up in Xue Ke's tent.

"Go on."

Xue Ke didn't have much spare energy to talk nonsense to Shiren, so he took his back and shouted loudly: "Submit to Nanjing.

The minister of the Yongcheng Hou, Xue Ke, commander-in-chief of Dingwu, asked my emperor to take care of his peace.

At the beginning of the year, he was honored to be the commander-in-chief of the Japanese commander-in-chief and prepared for war. In the early summer, he was in charge of the four-nation coalition forces of the four countries and left the South China to conquer the Japanese islands, first Osaka and then Kobe, and finally met in Kyoto in the autumn.

Relying on the favor of our emperor, the soldiers who fought bravely and sharply, were lucky enough to succeed in one battle.

One of the thief chiefs, Ashikaga Yoshiki, committed suicide, and the rest of them surrendered. At this time, the hypocrite Emperor Shiren was also captured alive and sent it to Nanjing with this letter.

Since then, the Battle of Dingwu was greatly won with our army conquering Kyoto, and Japan's destiny has since been extinct. East Asia, which was determined by the king and father, will be included in the Ming League system from today and bathed in the holy light of the king and father.

Long live the Ming couplet! Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live my emperor!"

After the military book was drafted, the memorial was handed over to Xue Ke for review. After confirming that it was correct, Xue Ke solemnly stamped the seal of the commander and handed it to his personal soldiers next to him: "Go, eight hundred miles to report the saints in an urgent manner."

Ashikaga Yoshiji committed suicide, saying that Emperor Hiroshi was captured alive, and more than 200,000 Japanese troops died or surrendered. As Xue Ke said, the Japanese destiny was destroyed and the war was about to end.

"Make good use of the surrendered soldiers to build fortifications at various intersections of Kyoto, and send troops to garrison to control every local area of ​​Kyoto and stabilize the post-war situation."

After receiving this task, the staff officer rushed to several prisoners of war camps outside the city where the surrendered soldiers gathered together to take care of them.

Under the threat of bayonets and killing, these surrendered soldiers were driven into Kyoto City in rows, entering the traffic intersections of the city, and began to build various defensive fortifications for garrisoning troops.

Although he is obedient, the efficiency is obviously a bit negative and negligent.

This made Xue Ke very dissatisfied with the inspection.

"Everyone is like his mother who died. When fighting, they are native chickens and dogs. When they work, they are still like this. They are living wastes of food."

After cursing for several words, Xue Ke had no better way, and he was unable to destroy his military order and killed prisoners, so he had to ask the staff officer how to deal with it.

The staff officer had no choice but to spread his hands and smiled bitterly when he was helpless.

"Or why, let's ask which Japanese people?"

The person who tied the bell must untie it.

Xue Ke scratched his head and thought for a long time but there was no better way, so he had to utter a dumb and ask the personal soldiers beside him to bring a surrendered Japanese soldier.

"May I have your name?"

Facing the question from the Ming League marshal in front of him, the surrendered soldiers were obviously extremely nervous and tried hard to lift their chests to calm themselves down: "Report to the marshal, I'm called Tokugawa Katsuyoshi, who was a steward before."

Guanling is a local official position, and Daming is a local chief with a high degree of autonomy. Guanling is a local chief appointed by the central government. It does not have too high autonomy and is under the jurisdiction of the central government.

A leader became a member of the surrendered army, which shows that in the previous Kyoto defense battle, Tokugawa Katsuyoshi came to Kyoto from elsewhere to join the war.

"Guan Ling, then you are still a nobleman?"

Xue Ke raised his eyebrows and became interested: "Since you are a noble, the conversation between us is much simpler. I am very dissatisfied with your current fortification progress. I hope you can call on your comrades to complete the task quickly and not force me to use force."

Faced with Xue Ke's intimidation, Tokugawa Katsuki naturally responded with a bitter face. This expression made Xue Ke feel dissatisfied. He slapped him and threw Tokugawa Katsuki to the ground.

"I'm talking to you with shameless things. Can you be so desperate?"

Katsuki Tokugawa, who was slapped, became much more honest. However, the staff officer stopped Xue Ke, who was still trying to take action, turned his head and looked at Katsuki Tokugawa and asked, "Are you embarrassed or do you have a better way?"

Tokugawa Hideyoshi knelt on the ground and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Your Excellency, every nation is not perfect. Our Yamato people are also humans. If they are humans, they have selfishness and disadvantages, and they can be motivated, intimidated and exploited.

You just need to give an order to hand over the fortifications to everyone in segments. The first few people who complete them can get rewards, and the last one will be killed. I promise, you can see what you want to see."

Xue Ke and the staff officer were both stunned.

Both of them were military officers. They had never thought about this method before. Now, when they heard it suddenly, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Just do what you said, and you will leave the assigned tasks and supervisors to do."

When he heard that he could be a supervisor instead of continuing to work hard, Tokugawa Katsukichi was overjoyed, and paused on the ground, and went down happily to make arrangements.

Not long after, more than 100 Japanese surrendered soldiers on this fortification were instantly inspired.

It shows a completely different trend from the negative and negligence just now.

Soon five people took the lead in completing the fortifications they were responsible for, and came to receive the reward under the leadership of Tokugawa Katsuyoshi.

"Each person has a bowl of rice and a piece of meat, and then find a woman."

Xue Ke waved his hand and someone took them down to settle down. It was easy to arrange food and drink, and he could eat on the ground. However, there was no camp to provide them with selfish desires. In desperation, the five people pulled the woman who was snatched from their homes and plunged into an alley not far away.

Soon, a burst of babbling screams sounded.

"It's a bunch of beasts."

Xue Ke laughed and scolded a few times. Before he could hear it, the five people ran out and ran to Xue Ke and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Xue Ke ignored the five people, but waved over Tokugawa Katsuki and said coldly: "You have found the five people who were completed at the earliest, so have you discovered the five people who were completed at the latest?"

Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's face changed a few times, and then a hint of resentment appeared: "I discovered it."

"What should I do?"

The silence lasted for only a short moment, and Tokugawa Katsuki called out the five people before and said to Xue Ke: "I will take them with me to deal with the waste that has not completed the task."

Xue Ke laughed, pulled out the waist knife of his personal soldiers beside him and threw it in front of Tokugawa Katsuki: "Go and do it."

Tokugawa Katsuki silently picked up the knife and suddenly said before leaving.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Marshal."

After personally executing his compatriots, Tokugawa Katsuki actually said thank you to Xue Ke.

Seeing Tokugawa Hideyoshi pull out the five surrendered soldiers who had completed the fortifications at the latest and took them to the fortifications not far away, and cut off their heads one by one. Even though Xue Ke killed countless times, his face was a little numb at this moment.

It was not shocked by blood, but the bloodthirsty and perseverance in Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's eyes before his execution.

Even Xue Ke saw a sense of pleasure hidden in his eyes?

"This nation is a wolf."

Xue Ke's back felt a little cold, and he whispered to the staff officer beside him: " Raising a tiger will eventually backfire, and raising a wolf will be the same. Tokugawa Hideyoshi was so excited when he even killed his fellow tribe. Do you still expect him to be our Ming dog in the future?"

"Yes." The staff officer also said horrifiedly: "The Japanese are different from the Southern Myanmar and the Siamese, let alone expect them to be as gentle and respectful as the Indians. They value glory. When building fortifications just now, in order to win the first place, these people grabbed a piece of brick and stone to speed up the process of their fortifications, and even kicked over their earlier comrades, which shows that they were extremely fame and fortune.

And when punishing the weak, it is so natural. He has no mercy and kindness when starting, and the onlookers are also indifferent. A nation with such personality will never make it slow. Once they become stronger and become bigger, it will be dangerous."

Through Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's performance, Xue Ke can already see that this is a nation that infinitely admires the strong and disdains the weak. It can be said that the jungle law of survival of the fittest has been completely engraved into its bones.

As a conqueror to Japan, the strength of the Minglian may make people like Tokugawa Katsukichi willingly become a lackey, but what if the Minglian or the Ming Dynasty, which holds the core leadership of the Minglian, weakens?

After the execution, Tokugawa Hideyoshi didn't know what Xue Ke was thinking at this moment. At this moment, he knelt in front of Xue Ke with blood, and raised the execution knife high above his head with respect.

"I did not disappoint the Marshal. The five wastes at the latest have been disposed of, and they have received the punishment they should have received."

“You did a great job.”

Xue Ke reached out to pick up the knife, looked at the blood beads slowly sliding down the blade, and said affirmatively.

"Tokugawa Katsuyoshi, now I appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Japanese surrendered army, fully responsible for the construction and stability maintenance tasks of the entire Kyoto. I hope you can live up to the heavy responsibility."

“As you wish!”

Tokugawa Hideyoshi, who was overjoyed, smashed his head to the ground, his face full of blood.
