Chapter 342 Massacre

On the seventh day of the second month of Longwu in the Ming Dynasty (1650), the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty defeated the Japanese shogunate army in Uenohara. More than 100,000 shogunate troops were completely defeated. After only seven days, the 80,000 Kansai cluster army led by Tadashi Sakai led by Tadashi Sakai was also ambushed by the Ming army and returned home. The shogunate elder Tadashi Sakai died in battle.

On February 12th, the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty advanced to the Edo Castle.

The sun is setting in the west, and the huge city outline of Edo Castle has already revealed its true face on the horizon ahead. Wang Pu slams the war horse hard, and a trace of inexplicable sternness flashes through his eyes when he looks at Edo Castle. Edo! Edo Castle is ahead! The so-called Edo Castle is Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese later!

Tokyo! Tokyo!

"call……"

Wang Pu sighed with a long sigh. Although time and space were misaligned, history was reversed, and although the Japanese in this time and space did not bring any humiliation to the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates who had suffered from the southeast coast were not supported by the Japanese shogunate. They were just groups of ronin who were not tolerated by Japan. But even so, Wang Pu did not intend to change his original intention!

Liu Rushi rode his horse to Wang Pu and asked in a low voice: "Prince, is Edo Castle ahead?"

"No, that's called Tokyo!" Wang Pu replied calmly, "From today, Edo has officially changed its name to Tokyo."

"Tokyo?" Liu Qingyan smiled, "The Ming Dynasty originally had Nanjing. Beijing. If Xi'an was changed to Xijing and Edo was changed to Tokyo, then all four Kyotos would be complete, and there would be palaces everywhere, hahaha."

"Xijing?" Wang Pu was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "There will be Xijing, but Xi'an is probably not able to become Xijing of the Ming Empire. Xijing of the Ming Empire should be in a farther distance, very far away West."

After saying that, Wang Pu ignored the two women, turned around and said to Lu Liu behind him: "Lu Liu."

Lu Liu quickly saluted on the horse's back and said, "Here."

Wang Pu said: "Immediately convene officers above the captains of each battalion to hold an emergency military meeting."

"yes!"

Lu Liu agreed and took the order.

In Tokyo City, the General's Mansion.

Upon hearing that the Ming Dynasty army was rushing outside the city, Tokugawa Iemitsu was so anxious that he was about to jump off his feet, but now he couldn't find it even if he wanted to discuss it. Doi Tadatsuki was already dead in the battle of Uenohara. He had one of his legs broken in the battle of Uenohara, and now he was lying at home and has become a useless person.

The shogunate master Sakai Tadae has not returned to Edo yet, and there is no news about the Kansai Cluster Army. Inaba Masayoshi is not sure whether he has lived or died. It is not known that Hiromasaki Itan and Nobuzumatsu had committed suicide by separatism, Masamoto Oda, and Tetra to the Toda clan have already fled with the army of the vassal state. Tokugawa Iemitsu really said that every day is not effective, and the earth is not effective.

"Sir, it's not good."

When Tokugawa Iemitsu was so anxious that the chief guard hurried in again and knelt down and replied, "Two more daimyos escaped with their troops."

"Baga." Tokugawa Iemitsu said furiously, "I can't spare these cowards."

Two more daimyos led their troops to run away, which undoubtedly added frost to the Tokugawa shogunate. The more than 100,000 shogunate troops that had finally assembled were severely damaged in the Battle of Uenohara. In the end, only more than 30,000 people fled back to Edo. The rest of the troops were either annihilated or fled halfway.

The remaining 30,000 troops were already exhausted to defend the city. Now two Daming followed Masamoto Okuda and the Toda family's Iron Seizure led their troops to escape. In this way, there were only less than 10,000 troops left in Edo Castle. How could this army resist the fierce attack of the Ming army?

What's worse is that the Ming Dynasty army has already reached the outside of the city. It's too late to organize the strong men in the city. Suddenly, a thought of Maki Naka passed through Tokugawa Iemitsu, surrender! Now that the matter has to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. If surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it may be possible to save a life. The Tokugawa Shogunate may be able to continue to survive.

There is an old saying in China, saying that if you keep the green mountains, aren’t you afraid of burning firewood?

As long as life is saved and the blood of the Tokugawa Shogunate is continued, there is still a chance to start over.

However, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't know that Wang Pu didn't plan to give him a chance to surrender.

This time, Wang Pu was determined to eradicate the Tokugawa shogunate and even more determined to stage an unprecedented massacre in Tokyo. How could he give the Tokugawa shogunate a chance to surrender?

Outside Tokyo City.

All officers above the corps commander in the Central Army have been ordered to come to Wang Pu. Looking at the young faces in front of him, Wang Pu clenched his fists and said loudly: "Do you remember what I told you at the graduation ceremony? This world has always been a world where the strong prey on the weak. If our Han people want to survive, we must open up a broad enough space. If our Han people want to be prosperous and strong, we must slave other races in the world!"

The officers looked at Wang Pu without a moment, and the eyes in their eyes were filled with strange burning heat.

Wang Pu continued: "We don't need the barren and desolate land on the four islands of Japan, but we need Japanese men to open up land, plant soil, mine, and build roads for us. We need Japanese women to give birth to children for us and reproduce more descendants for our Han people... So, we must conquer this country and conquer this race! Let their men become our slaves, and let their women become our women!"

The officers burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became hot and relaxed.

After the Ming Empire calmed down internal and external troubles, it is now carrying out unprecedented rest and recuperation, including the vigorous "man-making" movement. In order to encourage Han people to have more descendants, the Ming Dynasty even established a reward system. Each family can get a reward of ten taels of silver if they have five children, and if they have more than ten children, they can get a reward of hundreds of silver if they have hundreds of taels of silver if they have more than ten children.

And what's even more terrible is that this is not the number of children a woman has, but the number of children in a family. If a man can marry ten women and let ten women have children at the same time, then he can also get a reward of 100 taels of silver! Which man can refuse such a beautiful thing that can both gleam and gold?

However, the number of women in the Ming Dynasty was limited after all. If a man marrys more women, some men would inevitably not be able to marry women. So the Ming Dynasty officials turned their attention abroad, hoping to make up for the shortage of women in their country by importing foreign women.

Although the official main idea of ​​the Ming Dynasty was "if not my race, their hearts must be different", this race only refers to men from different races, while women from different races are not within this category.

The Han people have always only recognized the continuation of the bloodline of the paternal line. In other words, as long as the father is a Han Chinese, no matter what race the mother is, the children born will be regarded as Han Chinese. On the contrary, if the father is a foreign race, even if the mother is a Han Chinese, the children born are also of foreign blood.

After everyone's laughter calmed down, Wang Pu slowly pulled out his waist knife, turned around and raised it high towards Tokyo City, and an inexplicable solemn aura spread out from his eyes: "Now I announce that after the city is broken, all soldiers of the army can move freely for ten days, men and the elderly will be killed without mercy, and women will stay!"

The officers immediately cheered with great shock.

What is free activity? That means they do whatever they want after entering the city, grab the things in the city, kill the Japanese in the city, and ride the Japanese women in the city. Such a good thing may be like this in this life. Can you say these young animals be unhappy?

Wang Pu also felt the excitement from the bottom of his heart, pointed the knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "The women in Tokyo are waving to you. They can't wait to comfort you with their soft bodies. Babies, why are you hesitating? Just carry your guns and hurry up..."

Amid the deafening cheers, the officers of the Central Army rode away and returned to their respective corpses.

The next moment, except for the guards, almost all the troops shouted and rushed towards Tokyo City. The shogunate army at the top of Tokyo City had already lost its will to resist and scattered before the Central Army rushed to the front. As early as the Battle of Ueno, the Japanese's intention to resist had been completely destroyed by the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty.

The Central Army of the Ming Dynasty, which was swarming, quickly exploded the city gate with the Dragon King cannon, and then rushed into Tokyo without any effort. Since the written records in Japanese history, the bloodiest, most brutal, most miserable, and most inhumane, and most dizzy massacre slowly kicked off...

A Central Army soldier kicked open a courtyard door and was stunned when he looked inside.

The not-so-spacious yard was already crowded with people, old and young, male and female, farmers who fled from the countryside outside the city to take refuge, refugees who fled from the west along the way, unarmed civilians, and shogunate soldiers holding weapons. These people are of different ages and look different, but the expressions on their faces and the expressions in their eyes are the same.

Fear, endless fear!

Despair, endless despair!

The Central Army soldier was shocked and quickly grabbed the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it up. The sharp whistle pierced the sky. The sound of chaotic footsteps quickly sounded on the street in the distance. A squadron of Central Army arrived with a bayonet rifle.

The squadron leader, who was in charge, stepped forward with his waist knife and shouted, "What's going on?"

The soldier responded loudly by pointing to the yard: "Sir, there are many Japanese in this yard, as well as shogunate soldiers!"

The squadron leader waved the waist knife in his hand and shouted: "Full up!"

When the soldiers surrounded the entire yard, the squadron leader quickly came to the gate of the yard. When he looked up, he was shocked. The yard was shoulder to shoulder, head to head, and it was so crowded that there were at least hundreds of people! At the command of the squadron leader, the fully armed soldiers quickly raised the rifles in their hands and were ready for battle.

The squadron leader turned around and greeted a soldier who knew a little Japanese: "You, shout to them."

As early as the beginning of his troops sent to Japan, Wang Pu was ready and specially summoned 200 soldiers with language talents to conduct rapid training for them in Japan in case of emergency needs.

The soldier followed the command of the squadron leader and went up to shout in Japanese: "Listen, everyone inside squatted down, disobedient, dying."

There was a riot in the yard. The squadron leader shouted loudly. The dozens of Central Army soldiers behind him were hustling the sound of pulling the gun bolts. Seeing this, the riots in the yard quickly subsided. All the Japanese, including the shogunate soldiers, squatted to the ground obediently.

The soldier said again: "Woman, stand up."

All the women in the yard stood up, many of them were quite beautiful. The Central Army soldiers guarding outside the yard, including the squadron leader, their eyes suddenly began to burn. The soldier swallowed and continued, "All those under thirty years old will come out, and the rest will not be moved."

All young women under the age of thirty, including a few little girls, walked out of the crowded crowd obediently. The Japanese men and shogunate soldiers in the yard did not resist at all. Although the Central Army outside the yard had only one squadron of thirty or forty people, there were at least four or five hundred Japanese men in the yard, of which there were more than two hundred shogunate soldiers.

The Japanese's resistance was completely destroyed in the Battle of Uenohara. They were like wastes whose backbone was removed. They could not stand up any longer. Even if there was only one Central Army soldier outside the courtyard, they would be as gentle as lambs. Even if the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty put the steel knife on their necks, they would not dare to resist at all, but would just obediently slaughter.

More than a hundred Japanese women were taken out of the yard and lined up on the street.

The leader of the Ming army squadron nodded with satisfaction and shouted: "Close the yard gate, set fire, and burn these dogs to death."

At the command of the squadron leader, the soldiers quickly closed the gate of the courtyard and found dozens of bundles of firewood from nearby and piled them under the courtyard wall. The soldiers had already ignited the fire and burned the fire, and the fire began to burn. Most of the Japanese houses in this era were made of grass and trees, and the fire quickly began to spread. In less than a moment, the entire courtyard had been completely swallowed by the fire.

The Japanese shrill wailing sounded in the burning fire. From time to time, Japanese people with flames all over their bodies tried to cross over the wall to escape, but were coldly shot dead by the Central Army soldiers guarding outside. The fire became more and more fierce, and the smell of barbecue began to float in the air soon, but the wailing sound in the yard gradually became smaller...

South of Tokyo.

Two thousand shogunate soldiers who had no time to escape were trapped in a block and had become prisoners of the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty.

The roofs on both sides of the street were already full of Central Army soldiers carrying guns and live ammunition. The black muzzles and bright bayonets had been aimed at the shogun soldiers in the encirclement. All the shogun soldiers had put down their weapons and were driven to the middle by the Ming army like sheep and squeezed into a group.

"Kneel down!"

A soldier who was slightly Japanese roared in Japanese, and two thousand surrendered soldiers fell to the ground in a loud voice.

"Blind your eyes!"

The Ming soldiers gave another order. No one hesitated, and no one dared to disobey the Ming army's orders. All the shogunate soldiers obediently tore off a strip of cloth from themselves and blindfolded their eyes. A few hours ago, they were soldiers holding weapons, but now they were just a group of dogs and sheep to be slaughtered.

A Central Army officer stepped forward and yelled: "The Third Squadron...prepare!"

Amid the sound of footsteps, a squadron of Central Army soldiers stepped forward with a bayonet rifle, standing behind a row of shogunate prisoners who were kneeling on the ground. The bright bayonet was aimed at the vest of the shogunate prisoners.

"Tutu...spit!"

At the command of the Central Army officer, a squadron of Central Army soldiers stabbed the rifle in their hands forward, and the sharp bayonet instantly pierced the bodies of dozens of shogunate prisoners. The faces of the shogunate prisoners showed a violent expression of pain, and they fell to the ground one after another. The red blood slowly oozed out from under them, and the slightly twitching body soon disappeared.

"Fourth Squadron..." The Central Army officer's eyes turned to another group of soldiers who were ready for battle and shouted sternly, "Prepare!"

Another group of Central Army soldiers stepped forward and stood behind another row of shogunate prisoners who were kneeling on the ground.

Not far from the corner of the street, Wang Pu witnessed this bloody scene.

Although there is a shortage of labor in the country, Wang Pu has no intention of stopping his subordinates from massacring shogunate prisoners of war. Although selling these prisoners of war back to China is a considerable wealth, the current conditions are not yet ripe. On the one hand, this expedition is intended to conquer Japan, not to plunder labor, and on the other hand, there is also a lack of enough ships to transport these prisoners of war.

As long as the Japanese will to resist is destroyed and the Japanese are transformed from brave and fierce samurai into cowardly and bullied sheep, is there not many cheap laborers? After all, Japan has a population of 15 million, and killing such 300,000 people is a drop in the bucket!

In the west of Tokyo, a larger-scale massacre is being staged, and the executioner is Li Dingguo.

The night breeze was blowing, and Wang Pu slowly walked on the streets of Tokyo surrounded by the guards. Everything he saw was full of dead Japanese corpses, a large number of houses were burned, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and a burnt human flesh. Liu Rushi and Liu Qingyan, who were accompanying him, had an unbearable look in their beautiful eyes, but Wang Pu's eyes were as cold as iron.

In history textbooks hundreds of years later, Wang Pu may be named a butcher by his descendants, just like the Qin general Bai Qi, but Wang Pu firmly believes that he will never be deliberately ignored by later history books like Wu Dao Tianwang Ran Min!
