chapter four hundred and thirty seventh.

The smoke from Kyoto City has not yet burned out the Great Wall of Japan by Lake Biwa, which was venting the black smoke again. It has been built for four years. For the first time, this fortification similar to the Berlin Wall was broken.

In the Chengguan building, the sticky blood stream flowed downward like a stream, and even flooded the bonfires for heating. The wandering corpses were piled up in a pile, and the entrance of the city gate was opened. In the door, the East Army carrying spears, pushing cannons, and carrying iron cannons rushed forward like mercury. There is a way to guard against day and night, and it is difficult for the family to prevent the thief. The strong and great fortifications cannot stop the back of the hundreds of Kyoto Donglin Rebellion Party.

Mao Jue made complete plans, but he did not count outside his territory. This time, the joining troops brought by Tokugawa Ie-gun was Toyotomi Kunimotomatsumaru's biggest killer.

…………

There is no love for no reason in the world. It’s good to be the boss myself, especially since I won the Edo defense battle three years ago. The decline of the shogunate seemed to stop. Tokugawa Ie-gun's head was not kicked by a donkey. Why did he suddenly want to hand over half of the annual tax revenue to be a younger brother?

To use the lyrics of a Jackson dance song that doesn’t know its name, it’s all about it! It’s about it!

Toyotomi Kunimotomi Kyotomi treated Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as a cult, and developed for more than four years. Even if he protected his students, Yuan Chonghuan would not turn a blind eye to it once it became a climate. The reason why Yuan Zhuang, who was stationed in Japan, has always endured it and even ignored it a little. It was because in Kyoto, Kyotomi Kyotomi's stall was too small. He took the upper-level elite route and only brought unsuccessful children from the wealthy families into the church. In Kyoto, a major battle between Guomatsumaru and such a major battle to break into the palace to seize the emperor was only launched by more than 4,000 ronin and the children of the aristocratic families. This mob naturally could not arouse Yuan Chonghuan's interest.

But after spending more than four years of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, as Yuan Chonghuan's student and half of Mao Jue's student, Guomatsumaru could not make small fuss. He has been working on a revolutionary export strategy like Cuba. His home is blossoming and Xijiao, and Kyoto is a Bushido cultivation school. This well-educated Neo-scientist was directly bypassed by the Great Wall of Japan and sent to the East to preach and develop there.

Just like the White Lotus Sect, it starts from the bottom and finally spreads across the water like a water hyacinth.

Whenever there are cults in troubled times, there are always people who are confused about the crowd and roaring around. There are always countless people who follow in a daze like shaking trees. Even if they use their flesh and blood to fill the ditch and block the arrows, they will be willing to do so. The reason is that the people in distress and despair need such a spiritual sustenance!

No matter whether this sustenance is a true god or a true demon, as long as it can bring hope, it can attract countless foolish people to seize it like the last straw. And the Eastern Kingdom is now a perfect breeding ground for the spread of cults.

The rampant Mao Jue brought too much pressure to the shogunate. It was almost a sure victory in the Osaka Mitsunomi. The 300,000 shogunate army was put together to fight and more than 100,000 Western Army. Tokugawa Iemitsu had thought about how to write a biography of military merits, but the biography of military merits was not in vain. It was seized by Mao Jue and released as a meritorious deed of the Toyotomi family. Outside Osaka Castle was simply a slaughterhouse, with the corpses of descendants of Eastern samurai everywhere.

Moreover, after the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the maritime power was declining. After the completion of the Great Wall of Japan, the offensive roads were blocked. The eastern country was not as vast as the Mongolian grasslands, and could rely on the vast strategic space to detour. The only way for the farming nations to deal with this situation was to build a fortress and wear a turtle shell.

However, the reinforced concrete city casting method and the traditional Japanese earth-rock casting method are not the same starting line, regardless of efficiency or cost. Mao Jue only took a few months to complete the major project to cut off Japan, spending 270,000 stones of grain and 700,000 taels of silver. However, the shogunate built a city fortress along the road of attacking the Western Kingdom, and the shogunate had been renovated for four years, investing hundreds of thousands of people and millions of stones of grain and funds. It has not been completed yet. The huge project is an absolute disaster for the narrow and crowded eastern country.

Even on the rich Kanto Plain, the Japanese people had to estimate how fat they could grow, and then leave the radish skins to eat by themselves, marinate the radish cores as taxes. After the establishment of the shogunate, the farmers who finally could not starve were degenerated back into a year and starve for half a year. Every year, the time for shortage of food and hunger became longer and longer.

There is no hope!

In this case, the Kyotomatsumaru Bushido cult with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as the core is like a fish in water. The root of all suffering is explained here at Kyotomatsumaru. Confucius said that the rituals and music are broken! The following is the worst! Those traitors stole the emperor's rights and put cruelty on the people of the world!

As long as we defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate and Toyotomi Kazuo, return the Emperor, and let the Kingdom of God come to the world, everything will be beautiful and can come back, and the entire Japanese country can be restored to the ancient times when men farm and women weave, and stability and prosperity. Everyone can eat and wear warm clothes, no need to go to war, no need to fight again, no need to fight to the death, everyone can live a beautiful and rich life.

In front of the Japanese people who were not covered in clothes and could not eat, this was simply a paradise. Who could not follow? Just like the White Lotus Sect, the power of Toyotomi Kōko Matsumaru expanded like a geometric multiple.

Since the time Inaba Masao went to Dongjiang last year, several peasant Ikki broke out in the East Kingdom, and it has spread from Tokugawa to Sendai. During the Warring States Period, Isao Son, who was disgusting in the eyes of the Warring States Period, became restless again. I am afraid that the larger Isao Ikki broke out as well.

Originally, I was unable to deal with a Toyotomi family. After a few years, I was beaten by Kunimotsumaru and became a huge powder keg that was ignited. It seemed that it was not that difficult for the Tokugawa family, who could not bear this political pressure and was good at forbearance, to change their position and position!

However, even Tokugawa Iemitsu did not expect that he and the army of the East Kingdom Daming could be infiltrated to such an extent. I am afraid that if he surrendered for two or three years, the power of Kōmatsumaru could grow into a climate in the East Kingdom. If there is a Li Daye Momozo, then the Tokugawa shogunate will be destined, and Dongjiang will also usher in an unprecedented enemy!

Fortunately, Tokugawa Izumi was so cowardly! The plant that was not given the growth time of Guomatsumaru, was too young to help the seedlings grow. After all, it was too young and could not withstand the baptism of the storm!

The defeat of the Japanese wall was completed in the early morning. At 10 o'clock in the morning, more than 90,000 Eastern Army had already reached the outside of Kyoto. The samurai vassals of the Sendai vassal were formed as the vanguard of the Kyoto suburbs, and the 40,000 shogunate vassals on the Kyoto Plain were centrally armed, the Mito family and the Kurokawa vassals were left wing, and more than a dozen small vassals such as the Ashigaki vassals were right wing, without rear wing, and the 90,000 army was like a huge turtle and supported on the flat plain outside Kyoto.

However, before the attack, the army had already encountered a head-on attack. Just outside the Xicheng Gate of Kyoto, the Yizhou Corps under Mao Jue and the twenty affiliated regiments had already set up their defensive formations. What was more convincing than the cannon was the Hundred-Chara Edge Celestial of the Eastern Country brought by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

In the Battle of Sekihara, Mitsunari Ishida's biggest mistake was that he did not borrow the golden gourd horse seal from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's logo from Osaka. In this era, samurai cannot confront the sect leader. Once the golden gourd horse seal appeared on the battlefield, the old subordinates of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, such as Masashi Fukushima, Takato Takago, Masaki Kato, Nagamasaki Kuroda, and Hideyoshi Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who were the leading troops of the East Army, had to immediately quit the war. Mitsunari Ishida only faced the Tokugawa family's power, and maybe it could really change history.

However, what Ishida Mitsunari did not do, Mao Jue did it now. Seeing that his family's badges stood in the Western Army formation, a large group of officials who were infiltrated or not, were swept up. Until now, he didn't know that he was being tricked. Sora Tamura, the general of the Ida family, looked at the Fujiwara bamboo sparrow pattern in the Sendai vassal opposite, and ran back anxiously on a pony, and roared angrily at Toyotomi Kōmatsumaru, who was surrounded by several Tokugawa's retainers who were infiltrated by Donglin Neo-Confucianism.

"Why! Why did the head of the family and general appear in the military formation of the Western Kingdom? Isn't it said that you Donglin Neo-Confucians will open the city gate and welcome the shogun to Luojing to seize the emperor? Where is the emperor now?"

These words also made the retainers look over with concern, but in the eyes of the general of the North Mainland, he answered him with a real fire.

Dongjiang had close contact with Westerners. Although he did not get Mao Jue's continuous revolver, Guomatsu Maru still had no shortage of exquisite Western pistols. In the unbelievable eyes of the Eastern State ministers, there was an extra blood hole in the forehead of the unpredictable Sora Tamura, and an unbelievable expression remained on his face, and he fell off his horse limply.

Compared with yesterday, Guomatsumaru's face was completely devoid of vitality for progress, and was replaced by a gloomy feeling of death. That expression made the heavenly lord of Fusang like a judge in hell, with a chill all over his body, and his eyes swept across the eastern country ministers like a knife. In the trembling of those people, Guomatsumaru immediately tilted his head to a Sendai vassal retainer beside him.

"Saku Masashimi, go and lead the Ida team!"

Even if they knew they had been trapped, it was too late. A large number of soldiers who believed in Kyoto Neo-Confucianism held iron cannons and gritted their teeth. The ministers of the Eastern countries stepped into the battlefield with difficulty.

He also personally rushed to the forefront. At the ignorant samurai, Toyotomi Kunomatsumaru was like the one in the movie Alexander the Great, riding a horse in front of the military town, while roaring loudly.

"Samurai! The people of Amaterasu! The evil demons of Dongjiang, who were transformed into Yamata Orochi, were right in front of you. They imprisoned the Emperor evilly, seized the power of the world, and put tyranny on you. As long as they defeated them, they rescued the Emperor! Peace will come! No need to fight to the battlefield and pay such heavy taxes! No need to criticize military appearance and pay military service! No need!"

Just like the King of Chuang, he did not pay any food, such a slogan was too inflammatory in the Eastern Army that had completely disliked the war! The spears in the front rows even raised the spears at hand with excitement.

However, at this time, the cheers suddenly came to an abrupt end.

On the same high flag, the royal logo of the sixteen-petal golden chrysanthemum was swaying before the Tokugawa family's black three-leaf aoy pattern. The sixteen-carrying sedan chair carried by the priest maid was in the veils on all sides. A hazy girl appeared in the sight of the East Army in a trance, saying that she was fighting for the Emperor, but the Emperor was on his opposite side. Looking at the royal logo, even the most fanatical foot fu team was shocked.

And the one who suffered the biggest blow was Toyotomi Kunimotsumaru. The painful memory of last night appeared before his eyes again. He even turned over and dismounted, his face was twisted and suddenly knelt on the ground, and his fist hit the ground with blood.
