chapter two hundred and ninety three.

Thirty years of rest and recuperation have erupted on the edge of Osaka Castle, and corpses are everywhere in the fields that are not enough to describe the battlefield. Young samurai who were born and grown up in the past thirty years after the Battle of Sekihara were thrown on the ground in piles, lying in pits, and floating in the river.

This is not just the shogunate army. The Western Army, which suffered heavy blows on the left and right sides of the shogunate in one morning, was the same. Especially the Maori family, who did not fight for the Sekigahara War thirty years ago, but now they have received a major repayment of capital and interest. Before the war, the Maori family could mobilize more than 30,000 samurai at the limit. After experiencing this battle, there were only more than 10,000 left.

The amazing smell of blood is overwhelming, and the specific number of casualties cannot be counted, but it definitely exceeds the last Osaka Formation. The Toyotomi family suffered more than 30,000 to 40,000 people, and the shogunate also had more than 10,000 deaths. It can be called a tragic battle like a fire. The tragic battle can be imagined.

However, Mao Jue was expecting that those samurai who had cut their stomachs after losing the battle were punished but did not see many. In the evening, Mao Jue finally ordered to accept surrender. Ida Tadasong of the Ida family, as well as several daimyos such as Nakanato, Torii, Hirai, Ishikawa, etc., all abandoned their military flags and surrendered. As for the Matsuhide family, there was no other kidney than the Matsuhide family and the foreign daimyo. The captive Matsuhide family and Tokugawa family can all be counted on it.

In addition, the Uesugi family surrendered to more than 7,000 samurai and 15,000 Maeda family. The combat effectiveness of the Western Army was basically maintained equal to that before the war, while the main army of the East Army Shogunate was almost destroyed. The Tokugawa Banner's army was dispersed, and there were about 3,000 casualties on the spot. The rest of the people retreated, and the 140,000 Right Army was disturbed by two stutters. In addition, the left army of the Western Army also retreated from the mountain, and the casualties were also retreated in tens of thousands. The left army, including the main force of the Tokugawa family's Kanto Plain, was considered to be wiped out. With the back of Kitsugawa, there was no room for retreat, and there was no established troops to break out.

In fact, in terms of number of people, the Western Army has a greater disadvantage than the Osaka Formation in history, but the results of the two major battles are completely different. It is just because there is an additional elite cavalry regiment that can quickly destroy the command center of the shogunate army. History is so capricious.

However, the specific result of the battle was dark. Mao Jue, who had been exhausted for a day, and the Western Army had no energy to count. Even the captured Eastern Army only locked up the Daming General and confiscated the army's weapons. As for the Eastern Army samurai who had lost the weapons, they simply went to Tokugawa Kitsugawa Camp, and even if there were some people who ran away, they were too lazy to care.

It was so tiring to fight hard on this day that the Dongjiang Army, which had always gotten up on time, got up for more than half an hour late the next day. At about eight o'clock in the morning, the Western Army reorganized the Xijishan Camp again. The bleak night wind did not take away any bloody smell, and stepped on the corpses all over the ground. The army completely took over the Tokugawa Ieguang Army Camp and began to plan to march towards Osaka Castle.

However, unexpectedly, around 10 o'clock in the morning, before the army was about to prepare to cross the river, the floating bridge across the river was actually built back. Thousands of Japanese people were filled with tears and found them tremblingly across the river, kneeling under the three or five tung patterns of Toyotomi family. The leading old men with half-bad forehead kowtowed excitedly.

"Toyotomi family, we're back!"

Osaka Castle actually surrendered by itself!

At this time, Japan did not have the national idea of ​​unification in later generations, and the sense of subordinateness of the people belonged to which country and which leader was still quite strong. Especially the Toyotomi family, which once ruled the world, left a deep mark on Osaka Castle, especially the Osaka people will never forget it. After the Toyotomi family destroyed the Toyotomi family, the Tokugawa Shogunate carried out a massacre in Osaka Castle. The number of heads cut down was as many as 14,000. No one related to the Toyotomi family was spared.

This hatred even continued until World War II. The Osaka Fourth Division, composed of Osaka vegetable dealers, was a well-known waste division, both on the Chinese battlefield and on the Pacific battlefield. It became the unit with the least number of deaths in the entire war and the most complete system, because of this unique cultural heritage that has been incompatible after more than 200 years of history.

Now only thirty years have passed, and the previous generation who experienced the scars of the war has not yet died. When the Toyotomi family's Toyotomi family appeared outside the city, the old party and prominent family in the city had planned to rebel. If it weren't for Tokugawa Iemitsu's attack too quickly and the decisive battle was going too fast, it would probably take a few days before Osaka Castle would have to mess up, causing a fire in the backyard of the shogunate.

However, the peaceful surrender of Osaka Castle still brought great benefits to Mao Jue. A complete Osaka Castle, accompanied by 100,000 taels of gold and 400,000 stones of grain stored therein, was rebuilt in order to demonstrate the Tokugawa family's dominance in the Western Kingdom, which was no less than the Tensou Pavilion in the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era. Everything needed to rebuild the regime was enough to enter the city to receive it.

They were really regarded as liberators. When the troops entered the city, almost the whole city was in full bloom. The samurai from the Western countries wanted to get some souvenirs without any clean hands and feet. Who knew that as soon as they entered the city, the crazy people directly stuffed eggs, pastries, sake, and sushi into the hands of the military man. The beautiful girl kissed her passionately regardless of ethics, as if she could pick them. Even these soldiers and gangsters were embarrassed and their faces were red.

When Kokumatsumaru and Chiyohime were sent out of Osaka Castle, one was still in his infancy, and the other was still young. He had no impression of this mother city, but Kafiki was different. Although she was also a trophy dedicated to Toyotomi Hideyoshi after her defeat, as a member of the Toyotomi family, here she experienced the most glorious and confused era of the Toyotomi family. The streets and alleys seemed to have the shadow of yesterday's youth left behind.

Originally, he was in the rear army, but when he entered the city, the old lady took Guomatsumaru and Chiyohime to the forefront of the army, which made Mao Jue and Yuan Chonghuan unable to do anything. They threw the matter of receiving the spoils to Su Changmei, and accompanied the crazy old lady to rush into the Tianshou Pavilion first.

It was still a bit woody. In the spacious Tianshou Pavilion hall, Kuromaru looked around in a daze, while Chiyohime's thoughts were all in the brilliant cherry blossoms in the yard. His little head kept looking back, and his heart had already flew out wildly.

Full of madness, Jiafei Palace staggered and rushed to the platform specially built by the city lord and general. He raised his hands with sadness, intertwined with desolation and excitement, and shouted heart-wrenchingly.

"Hideyoshi, you are in Tianyou Ling, Toyotomi's house is back!"

After all, after living for so long, I was afraid that the old lady would be excited, and Yuan Chonghuan quickly persuaded her softly. This atmosphere made Mao Jue feel quite uncomfortable. She looked around in the room, then put her hands behind her back, and Mao Jue turned around and went out.

No wonder people from ancient times to the present are willing to build a high-level building. Tianshou Pavilion is located at the highest point of Osaka Castle. Looking out from the balcony on the third floor here, the entire Osaka Castle can be seen. On the street, the people who have not yet dispersed are still shouting excitedly, and a sense of accomplishment that the world has for me is naturally aroused.

The cheering people were completely unaware that it was not so much that it was Osaka Castle of Toyotomi's family, but rather that it was Mao Jue's Toyotomi's family. When he came to this era, it was the first major thing he accomplished. The history of the Ming Dynasty had not been rewritten by him, but Japan, which was covered in water, was completely changed because of him. Mao Jue didn't believe it. After experiencing this great defeat, his Tokugawa family could still turn over.

The evening cherry blossoms that I don’t know how to cultivate are below. They are in full bloom and the colorful petals are flying romantically, but without the feelings of Jia Feiji, after getting out of the sedan chair, Su Yi and Yu Le'er were already excited to play in the yard. The dull military careers these days have made the two girls feel bored, and they broke two cherry blossoms hanging on their heads. The two girls are crazy like two butterflies.

Holding a stack of military newspapers, standing aside. Although Adrena did not follow her, her bright smile still showed that the girl was full of heart. She was the one who had the most intimacy with Mao Jue. When Mao Jue looked down, she felt something. She suddenly turned around and looked at Mao Jue on the balcony. She suddenly tilted her little head and showed him a bright smile.

Suddenly, my heart felt as if it was soaked by honey ice cream. Mao Jue also nodded with a smile and waved his hand gently.

The huge military formation outside the city was still slowly returning to the military camp, and the playful sound of His Highness's beauty was sobbing. Although there was no flower world before traveling through, everything in front of her was still enough to make the man's blood boil. Looking at Mao Jue's chest, something called ambition sprouted again.

Country! Beauty!

…………

"Meet Your Highness the Grandpa!"

A loud voice came out brightly from the spacious Osaka Castle Pavilion. Hundreds of daimyos, qimons, and retainers kowtowed neatly on the ground, bowing respectfully. The wide robe and clothes of the nobles swept on both sides, their butts were higher than their heads, and their respectful appearance was exactly like the Toyotomi Hideyoshi who was so powerful that he had worshipped the evil spirits of the sky.

In 1634 AD, the seventh year of Chongzhen, the tenth year of Kuanyeong in Japan, on June 18th, the Toyotomi family, who had been away from Fusang politics for a full fifteen years, once again re-entered Osaka with the attitude of the world. However, unlike before, the only teenager who was kneeling in the hall was a dull boy who looked down with a nervous look. The center of fear of all the princes was the man standing beside him, the man wearing a black hare, with no paintings on his body, and his hair was not shaved with Nakakizuki as a samurai, but was also a young man.

In the second Osaka Summer Formation, the main force of the Tokugawa family in the Shogunate was defeated. The head-level inspection followed, more than 50,000 heads were selected on the battlefield, not including those who jumped into the river and were drowned or those who were beaten by cannons. Among them, the shogunate vassals, the shogunate vassals, the heads of the Toyotomi family were clearly listed, and the Hokuriku Daimai Tada Tadao Maedaki, and the Yonezawa Daimai Uesugi Keitaki also worshiped at the foot of the Toyotomi family.

The ferocious head once again promoted Mao Jue's hegemony. After participating in the first-level inspection, even Daming, who was also a Western Army, dared not interfere with how Mao Jue would manipulate the government affairs of the Toyotomi family.

The five-persistence system of the Toyotomi family was restored again, and no one could move Mao Jue's great pursuit, but then Yuan Chonghuan was given a position of support by him. Next was Tadao Kuroda, Koshimazu, and Hideyuki Mori. Although the Gunshima family also participated in the war, after all, the Gunshima family was not as strong as Shimazu and was still affiliated with the Eastern Army in history. In the end, he was squeezed out of the decision-making center and named Ruonian. The remaining Danames who participated in the Western Army, more than 100,000 stones, were also held for Ruonian's official positions and participated in the Toyotomi family's shooting politics.

However, although Mao Jue presided over the merits and pacified the huge Western country, the Great Western Country cut the east and the west, and the newly enfeoffed more than a dozen famous names, more than a hundred flag-based officials, and the Maori family had 750,000 stones. The only thing that fell into the hands of the Toyotomi family was left was 660,000 stones. This naturally could not satisfy Mao Jue's appetite.

Fortunately, the shogunate had been beaten to a grandson and was unable to resist at all. I spent about a month in Osaka to re-establish the ruling order and enfeoffed official positions. In July, Mao Jue continued to ignite war and launched an offensive to the south and north. Wakasa, Tanba, Yama Castle, Omi, Hanoi, Kii, Yamato, Iga Ise and others in the south fell into Mao Jue's hands one after another. By October, he had already expanded his power to a higher level than the peak of the Toyotomi family, with a twelve countries and a high of more than 4.2 million stones.

However, it is worth mentioning that even if the three Imperial families, Nakakishu, and the Western Tianling, had a total of more than 1.5 million stones, the Tokugawa family's general territory and the Daming territory of the proprietor together were still almost 5.8 million stones, which was still higher than the Toyotomi family.

But this year, Mao Jue is about to stop here. After all, he started fighting since the end of last year. He fought for more than half a year, and the Dongjiang Army was also tired.

Jizhou, Wakayama Castle.

Another familiar scene was another scene. At the door of the Tokugawa family's apartment in Jizhou, a large row of carriages were parked there, and inside were Dongjiang soldiers carrying back and forth, such famous tea utensils, jade screens, fans, boxes, gold and silver utensils, and grain and rice, transported to the car one after another, and transported them to the port.

After all, why did Mao Jue fight to the death? It was not just for the spoils to support a family in Dongjiang. The property of the landlords and old treasures in the Tokugawa family was stolen goods. As the party of justice, he confiscated it and used it to reward the righteous warriors. It is natural!

Meng personally shouted to move happily, but behind Mao Jue, Su Changmei became a follower, with a bitter face and kept talking sadly.

"Master Cheng, the last time I cleared the inventory of Edo Castle, Lord Yuan is already very unhappy! This time I emptied the Kishu Fan, Lord Yuan will not be angry! Leave some!"

"I said, are you the Sima of the Army of Dongjiang or the Sima of these Japanese devils!"
