Chapter 1384 Difficult Negotiations in the Japanese Country

The envoy from Tokugawa Ieki's vassal, Tokugawa Ieki was the Hino clan, who sat opposite Dorgon.

Dorgon's battle was full of joy, and to the east was a smooth road. The twenty army, plus the emperor's list, were surrendering all the way, and there was no resistance at all.

Although he had encountered some situations now that he wanted to reorganize his army to prevent the Japanese surrendered army from getting out of control, it would not take long before he could set off on the road again.

Therefore, Dorgon was calm and calm, looking at the thin old man with a calm face.

Hino knew that the situation was urgent and had no intention of bargaining. He directly said: "The Emperor of my country has admired His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire for a long time. He hopes to marry and stop the sword and weapons to avoid this disaster for the people of both countries."

Dorgon groped with his fingertip with his right hand, looked at Hino quietly, and said hoarsely: "The shogunate destroyed the order of heaven and the Chinese system. This time the heavenly soldiers came to fight against the shogunate and had nothing to do with the emperor."

Hino seemed to have not heard such nonsense and continued: "The public is well aware of his fault and is willing to retire and return the great power to the Emperor."

Dorgon didn't know that this was a retreat as an advance. Tokugawa Iemitsu tried to rule the country from behind the curtain, and said with a normal expression: "Tokugawa Iemitsu needs to go to the capital and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor in person."

Of course, I can't go to play with it, otherwise I will definitely not be able to come back. Hino was silent for a moment and said, "General should know that our country's national strength is still there. If your country is too forced and both jade and stones are burned, I believe this is not what the general is willing to see."

Dorgon laughed and said, "At most, I will continue to send troops at noon tomorrow. Within three days, the army will be able to capture Edo!"

Hino's face suddenly became dark. Although Dorgon's words were threatening and unrealistic, they were indeed very dangerous for Japan and had to stop Dorgon's pace.

Hino's eyes flashed and said, "The Emperor of our country has already set out on the road. If your country's navy protects you, you can reach your capital in less than a month. Does the general really need to report such a major matter?"

Dorgon knew that this was already the bottom line of the Tokugawa shogunate. The ring in his hand turned a little slower and said, "I will not accept the orders of the king from outside."

Hino frowned, his heart was impatient, and said bluntly: "How can the general stop the army?"

Dorgon said: "I have already said it."

"The shogunate will never accept this condition." Hino refused decisively, and then said: "The shogunate has ordered the army to retreat fifty miles to show sincerity. I believe that returning home does not want to fight the shogunate bloody battle. Please convey our sincerity to Governor Yang."

Dorgon laughed and said, "Okay."

Hino looked at Dorgon and felt a bad premonition. From here to Tsushima Island, even if there were flying pigeons to pass the letter, it would take only a few days to go back and forth. Judging from Dorgon's intention, it was not the intention to stop the troops.

So, he must convince Dorgon!

Hino's expression changed and his mind flew.

Tadatsuke Aoyama previously judged that the Ming army would cherish their feathers and would not have a hard battle, but now they have as many as 50,000 surrendered soldiers from Japan, so how could they be afraid of sacrifice?

In this way, what are the shortcomings of the Ming army and what other ways can stop them?

Dorgon was so leisurely that he looked at Hino scratching his ears and his face were very happy. He vented his anger after more than two months.

Hino suddenly looked up at Dorgon and said, "Is it okay to go from the new shogunate to the Ming Dynasty?"

Dorgon was stunned and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He had already concluded that the Tokugawa shogunate was really anxious, and his mind turned, saying, "I can stop the army and wait for the orders of Governor Yang and the court, but you must retreat a hundred miles, not only here, but also south of Ekima Island."

Hino's face suddenly changed. Even if it was here, retreating fifty miles was already the limit. If you face Mu Aofan and others on the Hoi Island retreated for a hundred miles, it would be to let the Ming army land, come from both sides, and attack Japan!

"The shogunate will never accept it!"

Hino refused without hesitation and said coldly: "I advise the general to consider clearly. What is the difference between such a request and the surrender of the shogunate!"

Dorgon said, "I will send troops at noon tomorrow at the latest!"

Hino looked ugly, staring at Dorgon for a while, his eyes flashed.

Dorgon had a expressionless face, his eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.

Hino lowered his head violently, feeling very uncomfortable. He knew that what Dorgon said was true, and the situation was stronger than that of others, so he had to bow his head.

After struggling for a while, Hino looked up again and said, "I need to report to the shogunate. I hope that the general will not launch new actions before the shogunate returns."

Dorgon said without hesitation: "Okay, I also need to wait for Governor Yang's opinion."

Hino stood up, bowed, and said, "Please give me everything."

Dorgon didn't move, looking at Hina's face with a playful look.

Hino didn't stay for a long time and quickly turned around and left.

As soon as Hino left, Duoduo, Daishan, Mandahai, Li Dingguo and others walked in one after another. Duoduo said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, we really want to stop? Now when the army is in full swing, many daimyos are waiting for us and are preparing to surrender..."

They broke through the Guanmen Strait and destroyed the 80,000 troops of Tadaoshi Aoyama, and their morale was like rainbow. The shock to the entire Japan was also violent. I don’t know how many Daming was going to give it a try, join the Ming army, and participate in the collapse of the curtain.

If the troops were stopped now, it would be a pity for the Ming army to abandon the pass and give up the advantages that they had finally gained.

Dorgon glanced at everyone and said, "How are those surrendered soldiers purged?"

Zuo Liangyu immediately stepped out and said, "Kuroda Tadayuki, Kasuoyama and others have disrupted and reorganized the surrendered soldiers to ensure that they will not rebel, and will be completed by noon tomorrow at most."

Dorgon's eyes were faint and said, "It's too slow! Li Dingguo, you will lead 10,000 troops, and you will not change your power!"

Li Dingguo was slightly stunned and immediately said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Dai Shan, Dodo and other groups were still staring at Dorgon, worried that he would really stop the army.

Dorgon naturally knew what they meant, stood up, looked at the south with a cold look, and said, "Put the army overnight, and the army will continue to attack tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" Dai Shan, Dorgon and others were enthusiastic and responded in a deep voice.

There is a flat horse in front of them, and there is no danger. They should be quick to occupy them as soon as possible, continue to advance eastward and force into Edo!

Dorgon quickly rested and prepared for the next round of offensive. At this time, the news of his breaking through the Guanmen Strait finally reached Tsushima Island.

When Yang Sichang and others saw it, they were naturally overjoyed. A group of people looked at the good news and smiled happily.

Standing at the dock, hanging with the cold wind at night, the captain of the guard beside Yang Sichang looked at him and said, "Sir, are you relieved this time?"
