This may be the darkest period in Japanese history, and it was also the most brutal time that the Ming Dynasty showed in foreign wars.

Almost one-third of the Japanese were killed in this war. It was from this time that the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of the Japanese, would no longer be a country that is kind and bullied and longed for, but a country that is hated and feared.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't care what these Japanese people viewed the Ming Dynasty. Even in Zhu Youxiao's view, instead of letting these Japanese people admire them clearly, they would rather let him hold a grudge against the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guards and the Border Army had completely ignored the military discipline in the country and showed their most violent side. Just as the Japanese in later generations treated the Chinese, the bayonet stabbed into the Japanese without hesitation. Sometimes they were too lazy to use bayonets, so they directly used poison gas bombs to kill the Japanese in the entire village.

The only surviving Japanese people where the Imperial Guards and the Border Army passed were young and beautiful women. What could save their lives was not only because of their small and delicate figure and charming faces, but also their warm nature and affectionate brutes that could be ravaged at will.

The Japanese samurai and daimyos were indeed angry, their fighting will had been ignited, and the Tokugawa shogunate had to stand up to show that they would fight to the death with the Ming army and denounce the atrocities of the Ming army.

In this era, there are no international organizations and no other superpowers to exploit. Even if they are ambitious, Japan will have to face the disaster of overturning.

What's more, Japan does not have the so-called strategic depth, and its sea has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty's major naval fleets. The Western fleet, which could have been relied on, was driven out of the Ming Dynasty's waters by the Ming Dynasty. Now no fleet in the entire Southeast Asian region dares to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao did not arrange a commander in the war against Japan. It was just that Chang Yanling, the general of the First Army of the Imperial Guard, entered Ishimi from Nagato, and Exile, Boqi and other places on the line to sweep along Honshu Island from north to south, while the Imperial Guard Third Army advanced along Zhou Fang, Anyun and other places, swept from south to north.

The border army Zhao led the sect to the south to Fei, Hinata and other places to sweep the entire Kyushu area. The border army Zhou Yu Yoshimitsu team swept the Tosa, Yiyu and other places, which is the current Shikoku Island. The border army Mangui team joined forces with the navy to go directly to the Heiyi Island, which has now been occupied by the Japanese.

Chang Yanling was not very obsessed with women. After he had just tasted a few Japanese girls, he felt distracted. He did not know how to be charmed and acted like a spoiled horse in Yangzhou. Apart from being so happy, he had no sign of challenge. So Chang Yanling was more interested in killing people. The commander was like this, and other officers and soldiers of the First Army were also deeply influenced by it. Therefore, on the way of the First Army, they were more blood flowing rather than being delicate and graceful.

On the contrary, the Third Army of the Imperial Guards Fu Dahai. Although Fu Dahai is a little obese and has fair skin, he is even better than Ximen Qing. In addition, he has trained a good physique. The same is true for the officers and soldiers under his command, as if they had not touched women for several years. When they saw Japanese women, they could not move their legs and could not suppress their third legs. Therefore, on the way of his Third Army, many Japanese women were ruined by them, sowing countless seeds and shooting many descendants. Even many years later, when the Royal Academy of Sciences did research, they found that the new residents in this area had the highest genetic similarity with the people of the Ming Dynasty. They just didn't know how many of them were descendants of the Third Army officers and soldiers.

Zhao Ruijiao likes to cut off head competitions, and has formulated many evaluation rules for this, such as how many Japanese women can be served by every 100 Japanese killed, etc. Zhao Ruijiao is happy with this kind of entertainment competition, and it is precisely because of his atrocities that the entire Kyushu Island in Japan is full of wailing and densely filled with junglasses.

Zhou Yuji is quite talented as an artist and likes to build Jingguan. Every time he slaughtered a city, he must build a Jingguan, and it must be larger and more spectacular than the previous Jingguan.

Man Gui's troops and the Marine Corps like to instigate children from the Ainu people who were bullied by the Japanese to shoot Japanese samurai, and even specifically ask the elderly, weak, women and children to attack the Japanese. According to their statement, they want to re-up justice and let them learn to avenge themselves.

In short, the performance of the Ming army in Japan is unique, but they are all completed in order to eliminate the Japanese military mission. Although they were later denounced by countless conservatives or advocated politeness as an inhumane behavior, they did make the Japanese pay a heavy price, and also made the Japanese deeply realize the most terrifying side of the Celestial Kingdom.

According to the instructions of the Ministry of War, three months later, the First Army of the Imperial Guards and the Third Army joined forces in Japan (avoid sensitive words, not directly called Japan), and used this as the final stage of the major raid on Japan, that is, to completely destroy the Kyoto City of Japan and arrest the Japanese Emperor and the current general of the Tokugawa Shogunate Tokugawa Ieki.

Therefore, most of the news of the atrocities of the Ming army in Japan was concentrated in Kyoto, Japan. At this time, Kyoto was in panic and many fanatical Japanese warriors threatened to resist to the death and engage in the final bloody battle with the Ming army.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also tried his best to inspire his subordinates. He even met the emperor himself and vowed that he would defend Kyoto to the end and fight for the last drop of blood for Japan. However, only he knew that his own psychology was actually unsure.

In order not to let his shogunate rule be shaken by the atrocities and aggression of the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu while encouraging the soldiers to be the main writers of the destruction and boating, he also sent secret envoys to contact the Third Army of the Imperial Guards to pass the letter to the Ming Dynasty, and hoped that he could get the forgiveness of the Emperor Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao by ceding territory, compensation for property or surrendering to the emperor.

However, the First Army and the Third Army of the Imperial Guards ignored Tokugawa Ieki's envoy, because the purpose of the Ming Dynasty at this time was to completely eliminate the rule of your Tokugawa shogunate and destroy the Emperor, a symbol of faith that maintains the unity of Yamato.

After learning that the Ming Imperial Guards had arrived all the way to Tanba, Tokugawa Iemitsu completely gave up the fantasy of cedeing territory, paying compensation for guilt, or even bowing down to surrender.

Tokugawa Iemitsu had to mobilize 200,000 troops to Tanba immediately to prevent the Ming Imperial Guard from meeting with another Ming army. In that case, he would lose his last chance to turn the tables, and Kyoto would soon be occupied by the Ming army and fall into an unprecedented disaster.

This season is the season when cherry blossoms bloom. The entire area of ​​Kyoto has turned into a snow-white world. Countless Japanese pirates holding samurai swords stepped on the cherry blossoms and rushed towards the Ming army in the wet air.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the First Army of the Ming Imperial Guards also walked towards the densely packed and countless Japanese pirates. The cherry blossom petals fell down and fell on the bolts of the Ming officers and soldiers, looking more and more white.

A neat sound of the bolt pulling sound shook the cherry blossoms on the bolt. Before the cherry blossoms fell to the ground, there was a bang! Bullets with flames and smoke passed through the chamber, quickly breaking the iron armored clothes of the Japanese pirates and taking their lives.

The wind blew gently, and countless cherry blossoms were spinning and falling, like dancing white butterflies wandering among the flowers, and the bullets passing by quickly took the lives of Japanese pirates one after another among the cherry blossoms.

The firearms and sharp swords in their hands were not close to the Imperial Guards, and they sprinkled blood on the entire cherry blossoms, and they were dyed with countless blood in vain.

The Japanese army had gradually shown signs of being out of reach and began to slowly retreat, while the First Army of the Imperial Guards was still advancing steadily at a normal speed. As long as the Japanese pirates could not stand it and were about to rush up to fight the Ming army, the bullets in the hands of the Ming army would penetrate people's chest without hesitation.

Because of this, all the bloody Japanese pirates could not resist the tide of the Ming Imperial Guards and rushed towards the gun of the Ming Imperial Guards because they could not resist the tide of the Ming Imperial Guards.

Although this is somewhat like a moth flying into a fire, it is the result that the Ming Dynasty wanted. As long as everyone who is more rebellious among the Japanese pirates can be killed, it is guaranteed that the future Japanese country will no longer have the ambition to offend the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Ming Dynasty.

After the 200,000 elite troops organized by Tokugawa Ieki fled back to Kyoto, Tokugawa Ieyasu naturally became even more nervous. He didn't know how to get the Ming army to stop the atrocities against the Japanese and allow his shogunate to continue to exist.

But the fact now is that even though he sent an envoy to Tokugawa Ie-kwang, the Ming army did not reply to him. So he could only take some actions through his own guesses to seek forgiveness from the Ming Dynasty.

In Tokugawa Iemitsu, there are only two things that have offended the majesty of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom so far. One is the invasion of the southeast coast with the support of pirates during the Jiajing period, and the other is the Renchen Rebellion. Although the Japanese country only attacked North Korea, it still confronted the Ming Dynasty and offended the Ming Dynasty.

Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't know what to do to make the Ming Dynasty truly satisfied, so that the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youxiao could forgive him for his goal, but he could only try his best to make the Ming Dynasty and even the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youxiao happy.

Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu captured and killed all the Daimei Yada Kanaki who had participated in the plunder of the southeast coast. The group of people including Konishi, Oda Nobunaga, and even Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had participated in the Ionchen Rebellion, were killed.

Even in the end, Tokugawa Iemitsu directly found the Emperor. At this time, the Emperor also knew that the Ming Empire on the other side of the ocean was about to be destroyed. It was finally settled by his own country, so the Emperor of Japan also asked Tokugawa Iemitsu a little anxiously:

"General Tokugawa, the Ming army is coming in full force. In name, it is punishing us that the Japanese country is secretly punishing the retaliatory offenders of the court. In fact, it is trying to completely deal with our Japanese country. I wonder what good strategies will General Tokugawa have?"

The Tokugawa Shogunate, who has always been a shogunate, knelt down to the Japanese Emperor today, and bowed to the Japanese Emperor devoutly, and said to the Japanese Emperor solemnly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, but its purpose is naturally to retaliate against the Battle of Ionchen."

As he said that, Tokugawa Iemitsu first pulled out the knife, pressed one hand on the extremely cold samurai sword, and held the hilt tightly with the other hand, and said to the Emperor of Japan extremely seriously: "By Your Majesty, now perhaps you can only borrow the head of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to eliminate the anger of the Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

As he said that, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not wait for His Majesty of the Japanese Emperor to let him stand up, so he stood up first, held the hilt of the knife in his hands and was about to chop the head of the Japanese Emperor.

The Emperor of Japan did not expect that the Tokugawa family was just here to ask for the head of his neck. He was so scared that he immediately sat down on the ground and took a few steps back desperately. He also trembled and asked, "Why did the general say that?"

"Although the last general governs the world for His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor is the lord of the Japanese Kingdom after all. Therefore, in the eyes of the Ming Kingdom, the Japanese pirate rebellion during the Jiajing period and the Renchen rebellion during the Wanli period are all related to His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, for the sake of the rule of the shogunate, we have to borrow His Majesty the Emperor's head for now!"

As Tokugawa Ie-kun said, he slashed it down with one knife. In an instant, blood sprinkled on the window, reflecting a string of gorgeous plum blossom patterns. The head of the Emperor of Japan also rolled onto the desk table, and then rolled onto the ground from the desk table.

Tokugawa Iemitsu lifted the head of the Emperor of Japan with one hand and walked out step by step with heavy steps. He never thought that he would kill His Majesty the Emperor with his own hands.

At this time, the First Army and the Third Army of the Ming Imperial Guard had joined forces in the area of ​​Yama Castle and surrounded Kyoto. The people near Kyoto, Japan, had already fled, most of them had fled into Kyoto.

Therefore, at this time, the city of Kyoto was already overcrowded. The Tokugawa shogunate took advantage of this to continue to expand its army, hoping to increase its garrison in Kyoto. At the same time, he had presented the heads of the Emperor of Japan and dozens of generals who had fought with the Ming Dynasty and their families to Chang Yanling and Fu Dahai, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would retreat now.

However, people always unconsciously imagine in a better direction. At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu was the same. Although he knew that he was powerless to turn the world in his current state and Mingguo would not give up on Kyoto, he still held a glimmer of hope and hoped that Mingguo would let his general shogunate be spared in this way.

Fu Dahai was obviously not interested in the heads given by Tokugawa Iemitsu in Japan. He is now only concerned about how many beauties there are in Japan that have not been occupied by him, while Chang Yanling is more interested in the food and grass in Kyoto.

Therefore, Chang Yanling, the general of the First Army of the Ming Imperial Guard, directly asked Tokugawa Iemitsu tens of thousands of stones of food and grass and some important weapons to supply the long-term besiege of Kyoto City in the future. Tokugawa Iemitsu did not dare to refuse. After all, Tokugawa Iemitsu now had to accommodate the Ming army in every way in order to maintain the direct shogunate rule, and did not dare to violate it at all.
