Chapter 1365 Collusion
The situation on Kyuko Island is changing drastically. Tadatsuke Aoyama has an army of 10,000 toward east, and it seems that he is going to attack 20,000 people from Li Dingguo with Hiromasa Hirosa.
The 30,000 troops of Itankura Shigemasa had already left the gate and moved eastward, and would soon meet with Tadatsushi Aoyama.
Li Dingguo received the order and kept retreating.
Dorgon's 50,000 troops were stationed in Yutu County and did not move, watching the changes in the wind and clouds.
Both sides seemed to feel the aura of a decisive battle, and a solemn aura filled the entire Jiuguo Island.
Edo, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Akimasa Yoshiko sat facing Tokugawa General Tokugawa Iemitsu, and their expressions were not very good.
Tokugawa Iemitsu suspected that Emperor Gomizuo had colluded with the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Gomizuo denied it. Tokugawa Iemitsu naturally did not believe it. As well as his niece whom he liked, Emperor Akimasa also suspected that he had joined.
The excuse for sending troops in the Ming Dynasty this time was that Tokugawa Iemitsu did not respect the Emperor and violated the order of heavenly laws and regulations. He wanted to "clear the king's side" and eliminate the rebellious minister Tokugawa Iemitsu, correct the emperor's name and maintain the great throne.
From this point of view, Emperor Houmizuo has reason to collude with the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Gomizuo was very dissatisfied with Tokugawa Iemitsu, and even hated him. This is well known in Japan, but it was not possible to take the power of Tokugawa Iemitsu.
Tokugawa Iemitsu is now in a fierce question. Emperor Gomizuo has no other way except to deny it.
Xingzi frowned, looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu, and patiently suppressed the anger contained in his heart, saying, "Uncle, you should believe us."
Tokugawa Iemitsu looked ugly and his eyes flashed. Although this Xingko was his sister's daughter, it was hard to say which side she was on.
However, the war was about to come, and Tokugawa Iemitsu did not force him too much. He said in a tough tone, "I don't agree with your transfer of throne. Also, the cost of the palace is reduced by half..."
Xingzi's face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to speak, Tokugawa Iemitsu said coldly, "I, Japan, don't need two emperors. Now that foreign enemies are invading, the palace can no longer be so extravagant. This matter is settled."
After Tokugawa Iemitsu said that, he got up and left without stopping at all.
Xingzi looked at his back with a complicated expression. He hesitated for a while and turned to the depths of the palace.
Emperor Houmizuo was just over forty years old, and it was the time when he was young and strong. At the end of the day, he knelt in the Buddhist room and muttered to himself.
Xingzi didn't like Buddha, so he opened the door, knelt beside the door, and said, "The general is gone."
Emperor Houmizuki's voice stopped abruptly and said, "What conditions did he put forward?"
Xingzi looked up at him, looking a little worried, and said, "The general does not agree to my abdication in advance, and he will also deduct half of the cost of the palace."
Because of the "Purple-coat incident", Tokugawa Iemitsu was furious and blocked all sources of income in the palace except the shogunate. If the Tokugawa shogunate refused to give money, the life in the palace would be quite sad.
Emperor Houmizuo sat up, without turning around, his tone was extremely cold and cold, and said, "I understand."
Xingzi looked at his back, hesitated for a while, and said, "Father, are you..."
"Does there be any collusion with the Ming Dynasty?" Emperor Houmizuo's cold voice rang out, saying, "What do you think?"
Xingzi was afraid of this strange and familiar father, bowed slightly and said, "Father, can't."
Her words are affirmative, expectation, anxiety, but also question marks.
Emperor Houmizuki did not answer her, and knelt down again and murmured to himself. He was wearing a monk's robe and a small Buddha statue in front of him.
Xingzi looked at his back with a sad look, silently for a while, but still kneeled down, and then slowly retreated.
Emperor Akimasa's footsteps were crisp and rapid, and he quickly left Emperor Houmio's yard.
Not long after she left, a warrior came in and knelt down at the place where Emperor Akichi was originally.
Emperor Houmizuo murmured to himself for a long time, slowly sat up, his voice became erratic and gentle, and said, "You promised that if I cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, I will be the real emperor in the future."
The kneeling man lowered his head and said, "Yes, the order of the Ming emperor has been issued. Once they destroy the Tokugawa shogunate, all troops will be withdrawn."
Emperor Houmizuki was silent for a long time and said, "There are more than 20 great names who are loyal to me and will help you at critical moments."
The person who was kneeling was also silent for a long time, and said again, "It's not enough."
Emperor Gomizuo bowed to the Buddha statue again and said, "No matter whether the Tokugawa Shogunate wins or loses, the Ming emperor will marry Hitoko."
The kneeling man was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
Emperor Houshuiwei did not move, and the Buddhist room was quiet for a while, saying, "I have a list in my hand. In addition to the names of the locals, there are many family governors and retainers, and they will be of great use."
"It's still not enough." said the kneeling man.
Emperor Gomizuo seemed to sigh, his voice fluttered. He took something from his front and pushed it over, saying, "As the emperor, the edict to attack the Tokugawa Shogunate."
The man who was kneeling raised his head and looked at a box next to him, his eyes flashed, and said, "Enough."
The man who was kneeling stepped forward, took the box, and quietly stepped back.
Emperor Housui was quiet for a long time, and the chanting of scriptures sounded again.
The Ming Dynasty infiltrated the Japanese palace six years ago, and at this time, some results were finally achieved.
This intelligence was quickly transmitted in a top-secret intelligence, targeting Tsushima Island.
Before this information arrived, the situation on Kyuko Island changed again.
Tadatsushi Aoyama and Shigemasaki Itakura joined forces, and 80,000 troops swept across the countries of Nikko Island, and the five northern countries fell into the hands of the Tokugawa Shogunate again.
In addition, the 80,000 army prepared to move south in a fierce manner, as if they were fighting a decisive battle with Dorgon of Yutu County.
Dorgon had already joined Li Dingguo, and large armies gathered everywhere, scattered in total, and more than 100,000 were confronted with Aoyama Tadatsutsu on the front line of Yutu County.
Yutucheng.
Dorgon, Li Dingguo, Zuo Liangyu and others gathered together, staring at the huge sand table in front of them, and their faces were solemn.
Dai Shan spoke, cherishing words like Jin Dao, "The situation is wrong."
The others didn't answer the conversation, and the room was silent.
If Tadatsutsu Aoyama wants to fight the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't have to wait so long. Now he sets up a formation, which is simply telling the Ming Dynasty that they have other purposes.
Dorgon sat on the chair with a faint look and the ring in his hand slowly turned.
Zuo Liangyu looked around and realized that his status was low, saying, "Our main force is on Jiuguo Island, and he is just us. Have they found a way to defeat us?"
This sentence made everyone stunned and fell into thought.
What is the way to defeat the Ming Dynasty army?
Dorgon spoke at this time, and his voice hoarsely said: "No, Zhongqing's battle was enough to scare the Japanese courage, and they dare not fight head-on."
Zhongqing was the name of Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo fought with Hiromasa Tokura for several hours with 10,000 people, forcing Hiromasa Tokura to withdraw his troops at the most. The terrible combat power shown by the Ming army would definitely not have another head-on battle.
"Did they have made the trap and wait for me to get into the trap?" Li Dingguo pondered for a while and said to himself.
