After the fire at Osaka Castle, the Ming army never thought of entering Osaka, and it was already a dead place.On the second day of the fire, the main force of the Ming army had already landed. After the assembly, they immediately rushed to Kyoto with great speed.

Sakai Tadakiyo rode his donkey-like war horse and was walking forward non-stop. The road behind him was crowded with short shogunate troops.

"Go forward! We must arrive at Kyoto before the sun sets." Sakai Tadakiyo waved his saber in a pretentious manner.

The end of the Osaka War was tantamount to directly announcing the defeat of the royalists, but the shogunate had considerations for the shogunate.The shogunate did not want the Ming army to be the first to attack Kyoto, and the shogunate did not want the royalist party to be wiped out.Therefore, the order that Abe Tadaaki gave Sakai Tadaki was to enter the capital city desperately.

At this time, Li Guo stayed in Mihara and did not leave at all. The entire Marine Corps of the Ming Army was still lying in the tent and sleeping soundly when the shogunate army set off.

Seeing all the shogunate troops go west, Li Laiheng ordered the buglers to sound the rallying horn.

"General, is it too late for us to leave now?" Lin Yin asked as he looked at the messy shogunate army camp not far away.

"It's not too late, we can definitely catch up." Li Guo looked confident.

"The group of dwarf soldiers must not be able to run fast. Besides, the Zheng family has replenished us with a lot of chariots and horses recently, which is very useful." Lin Yinguan looked down on these Japanese people at all. He felt that even if he left, they would be enough for them. I ran away.

After the team was assembled, the marines at this time had already changed their shotguns, a large number of carriages had arrived in Yonehara, and all the supplies were in Nagoya.

"Let's go, march into Nagoya." Li Laiheng waved his hand and directly gave the order to march.

"What? Let's not go to Kyoto anymore?" Lin Yinguan only realized it at this time.

"What are you going to do in the capital? Are you afraid that the army can't beat that boy Sakai?" Zhang Guangqi smiled slyly.

By now, anyone who has not understood the Ming army's combat intentions is an idiot.The main force of the royalist party has been burned out in Osaka Castle, and the main force of the shogunate has also chased to Kyoto. At this time, there are no heavy troops in Nagoya or even eastern Japan.Moreover, Nagoya is the gathering place for the supplies of the shogunate army. If Nagoya is robbed, what will the shogunate army use to fight?I'm afraid they won't even have enough to eat.

One thing Lin Yinguan said was right, the marching speed of the Ming army was indeed very fast. Except for a few troops stationed in Yonehara to stop the Japanese army who might come back to help, most of the Ming army took advantage of the carriage and rushed all the way back to Nagoya. of.This kind of marching speed was several times faster than that of the Japanese army.

Nagoya, Abe Tadaaki got up a little late that day, but he still didn't forget to drink the tea he made himself.The Japanese tea ceremony is very cumbersome and pays attention to rituals. The movements look decent, but the taste of the tea is fading out.

Just when Tadaaki Abe was leisurely preparing to taste his first cup of green tea, a scary person rushed into his room in a hurry.

"Baga! What are you doing?" The angry Abe Tadaaki slapped the servant unconscious, he really couldn't stand people who broke the rules.

"Big, big, my lord, there is an army coming." The servant covered his red and swollen cheeks and said indistinctly.

"What army?" Tadaki Abe didn't care. When Nagoya came in, there were troops from all over the world. Even the Zheng family's army had delivered supplies. It wasn't a big deal.

"Yes, it's the Ming army." The servant continued nervously: "There are so many Ming troops."

"Yo Xibaga!" Abe Tadaaki was quite happy at first, but he reacted after thinking about it.

This surprise was no small matter, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, and rushed out of the house barefoot before he could put on his clogs.How did he know that at this time Li Laiheng had already led his troops into Nagoya.

Chapter 681: The Battle of Destruction and Harmony II

Abe Zhongqiu did not expect that he would become a prisoner so soon, and just as he went out, he bumped into the Ming army's arms.Before he had time to curse, the Ming army gagged his mouth with a stinky loincloth.Li Laiheng also didn't want to listen to his nonsense here. The Ming army's battle plan was drawn up long ago, so Li Laiheng was not allowed to change it.

Sakai Zhongqing was also very smart. He ran for a long time, but he still didn't see the Ming army chasing him. After thinking about it, he still felt something was wrong.

"You, ride a horse and go to the back to see why those Ming soldiers still haven't come." Sakai Zhongqing ordered, and he had a faint feeling that something was wrong.No, it's not right. At this time, he and his troops were already tens of miles away from Mihara.

Although the horses are small, they are still horses. Sakai Zhongqing's men ran for two hours, and finally found out that there was no Ming army behind them.This time, Sakai Zhongqing was half awake.Don't say they're going back now, even if they go back to Mihara, are they capable of surpassing Li Laiheng's troops?Obviously it can't be beaten.Moreover, the entire defense of Yonehara fell into the hands of the Ming army. If they pass by now, they will die.

In front of Tadaki Sakai is Kyoto, where there is the army of the Ming army, behind is Yonehara, and the marines of the Ming army, Lake Biwa is on the left, and a large forest is on the right; going forward is death, and going back is also death, Sakai Tadaki is determined not to go .

Let's talk about Li Laiheng later, Li Laiheng who took Nagoya, it is impossible to stay in Nagoya and do nothing.Nagoya is still far away from Edo, and it is impossible to attack by land. Li Laiheng and the others are the Marine Corps, not the Army.Therefore, at this time, the third move of the entire battle plan appeared instead.

Just off the coast of Nagoya, a large piece of sail that hadn't appeared for a long time finally appeared.And the shape of this batch of warships is somewhat different from that of Zheng Chenggong's navy's main battleships. These are not considered advanced warships of the Ming Dynasty, and some of them are Fuchuan, a mixed fleet.

"Old Yu is here." Li Laiheng smiled.

Yu Dahai himself didn't know how far he had traveled. Anyway, Yu Dahai, who hadn't played for a long time, this time he had a taste of wandering at sea.Although he claims to be from an old navy master, he is far behind Zheng Chenggong, an old water ghost.The commander of the Daming Vladivostok Fleet is in the sea, and he is still a little seasick.Seasickness of course, after all, he is an authentic Sichuanese, and he is still quite old.

"I said Old Yu, aren't you ashamed?" Li Laiheng said when he saw Yu Dahai whose face was pale.

"Dussazi! I'm not Hu Jianren," Yu Dahai retorted with a glare.He was only slightly seasick, it didn't matter, he was much better than Li Guo and others.

"Hurry up and board the ship, this time my Marine Corps is going to fight a real landing battle." Li Laiheng said while urging.

"Don't worry, the news has already been found out, and Edo has so many short soldiers. There are less than 3 people in total, which is not enough for you to squeeze between your teeth." Yu Dahai took out a Zhonghua cigarette and handed it to Li Laiheng.

"Thirty thousand is still a soldier. If Edo is taken down, there will be no more troops in the entire Wa country. It also fulfills the emperor's wish." Li Laiheng leaned in front of the burning match in the sea and said with a sigh.

"The emperor just hates the Japanese, especially the men from the Japanese country. He doesn't even want to take a second look. This time, the old man can be regarded as fulfilling his wish! However, I don't know how the emperor will deal with these Japanese men?" Yu Dahai has seen Zhu Youjian hates the Japanese expression.

"What should I do? Other places may still survive, but Kyoto, I'm afraid it will be the same as Osaka." Li Laiheng said.

"All the people here are transported away?" Yu Dahai asked, pointing to Nagoya.

"Of course. The emperor has explained that all the population in the coastal cities of Japan is divided according to age and gender. Those under three years old will be raised in Nanyang, those between three and ten years old will be temporarily raised in Kyushu Island, and those over ten years old will be raised in Nanyang Island. All the men will be shipped to North America to open up wasteland. The women will be assigned separately." Li Laiheng replied.

This is the first time that there is a definite instruction stating the treatment policy for the Wa country.Before the war, no one knew how Zhu Youjian would treat the Wa people.

"My darlings, all of them are sent to North America. That's a lot of work for me." Yu Dahai said in surprise.

"The grown-up men have been sent away, and the children have also been sent to other places. You said that in this Japanese country, there will still be scholars in the future?" Li Laiheng smiled cunningly.

"Why are all the men sent to North America? What would happen if there were no women there?" Yu Dahai asked mischievously.

"Of course it takes labor to open up wasteland. What can women do if they go there! I heard that there are savage tribes in North America. These Japanese men will definitely go with the savages to snatch the female savages. There will be a good show then." Li Laiheng said indifferently.

Japan in this era, after all, has not yet entered industrialization, and there are still quite a lot of people staying in the mountainous areas.As for the big cities by the sea, they don't actually have a large population. There are only tens of thousands of people in a remarkable city, and the labor force that can be recruited is also limited.

After the marines boarded the ship, Nagoya directly entered military control, and a division of the Northeast Military Region officially took over the defense of Nagoya. Of course, it also took over the defense of Yonehara.As for Li Laiheng's troops, with the help of the sea, they marched eastward along the Japanese coastline and captured coastal towns.Shizuoka, Fujikawa, Yokohama, Chiba, all the way to the march speed is not too fast, but the pressure on the rivers and lakes is unprecedentedly huge.

When the warships of the Ming army gathered in Edo Bay, the shogunate had no possibility of moving the capital.Where to move?Several major cities on the island have already fallen into the hands of the Ming army.Now, before the shogunate, is to resist or surrender, this is a question.

Of course, at this time, the war in Kyoto was over, and Nagoya's Ming army policy was known, and the shogunate made no difference between surrender and resistance.

Zheng Chenggong was just off the coast of Edo, sitting on the deck of a ship, drunk.The Ming Navy Fleet, apart from serving as the captain of the transportation brigade, hardly played a big role.The Haishengwei fleet in the sea is busier than Zheng Chenggong's subordinates at this time.As another squadron of the navy, Liu Guoxuan has been busy intercepting wandering warriors from Kyushu and Shikoku who smuggled to the island all day long, and has already done a lot of meritorious service.

Chapter 682: The Battle of Destruction and Harmony III

Let me talk about the war in Kyoto first.

The royalists and the Japanese imperial family never expected that the main force of the Japanese army would be defeated so quickly and so thoroughly.Even if there were not many defeated soldiers, it was equivalent to losing most of the family property at once.

Almost in the blink of an eye, before the royalists had time to react, the army of the Ming army had already approached the city.

Kyoto, modeled after Chang'an City, is the spiritual hometown of the Japanese, the source of Japanese culture, and a cultural symbol of Japan.Therefore, the foundation of the royal family in this place is very deep.

When the Ming army appeared on the outskirts of Kyoto, the news had already spread throughout Kyoto, and countless Japanese of all ages flocked to Kyoto, preparing for the final resistance.The Japanese imperial family has also been helpless, but the high-level officials understand that resistance is almost meaningless. If peace talks can be achieved, it may be the only hope for retaining the imperial family.

"General, the Japanese sent envoys to see you." At the headquarters of the Ming army, the messenger brought two Japanese men to Li Guo's tent.
