Doi Toshiki led several of his followers to the Ming army's formation.
Li Lu had already arrived in front of the formation to wait.
When he saw this Japanese old man approaching and bowing in front of him, Li Lu waved his hand disdainfully, and the soldiers behind him Make a passage to both sides.
Doi Toshiki pretended not to see the contempt of the Ming army general.
He led his followers towards the Ming army's rear formation without changing his expression.
He has never been shocked by honor or disgrace in his life.
He has experienced the glory of defeating the Western Army in the bloody battle of Osaka, and also experienced the humiliation after the defeat.
Of course, the last one was given to him by Akito Shimonoseki, but at that time he was the Navy Commander.
The series of defeats tired him, and Doi Tori was extremely unconvinced by the victory or defeat.
However, in this battle, Doi Toshi was convinced of the victory or defeat.
Not to mention the cavalry, even the Ming army had the upper hand.
The Ming army was as indestructible as a rock, causing the shogunate army to hit their heads and bleed.
If you can't fight, you have to surrender.
This is what he learned from his old family leader, Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Ieyasu first obeyed Takeda Shingen, and then successively submitted to Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
The reason for this was that he was incapable of defeating the enemy.
Tokugawa Ieyasu just endured and practiced his internal skills while waiting for the enemy's flaws, and then suddenly Fatal shot.
Doi Toshikatsu clearly felt that it was time to be patient again, but now the person he had to endure was Akito.
The fully-armored Ming soldiers on both sides were tall and burly, and their red and black battle robes increased their power.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty watched them pass by, showing disdain and contempt, as well as the injured Ming soldiers.
The army stared at them with disgust and resentment.
Just looking at their fire-breathing eyes, one could tell that they wanted to eat these Japanese alive.
But strict military discipline prevented them from doing so, and they could only express their anger in this way.
Several of Toi Toshi's followers looked frightened and their legs and feet were trembling a little, but Doi Toshi was not affected at all and continued to move forward.
He could already see hundreds of tall Ming troops guarding tall military flags hundreds of steps away.
Seeing Zhao Lie again, Doi Toshikatsu bowed deeply and respectfully to meet him.
Zhao Liean sat on his horse and accepted his salute with a strong thrust, but simply returned the favor with an arched hand.
This is the welfare of the winner, and no one can blame it.
If you feel that the humiliation cannot be tolerated, you can fight again.
Of course Doi Toshikatsu could bear it, "The shogunate's envoy Doi Toshikatsu paid a visit to His Excellency the General.
This time our army was defeated and we have no face to fight again.
Our army decided to have a temporary truce and wait here for the approval of His Highness the Edo Shogun.
I hope the General will Your Excellency grants a truce."
After saying this, Doi Toishi bowed deeply again, his attitude was extremely obedient.
If Mingting's reception staff saw this performance, they would be ecstatic, and they would probably let their guard down.
Then he agreed to the Japanese's request.
Look, the Japanese have already succumbed to this.
What are you afraid of waiting for a few days?
Edo is not far away.
You can wait for the decision of the so-called general of the Japanese.
Then, after the night, it was probably a fight.
Zhao Lie has witnessed countless wonderful performances of this nation that lies with its eyes wide open in later generations, and will never be easily deceived.
"At this point in the war, you and the Japanese pirates have been severely defeated.
We, the Ming Army, only want you to wait for more than 10,000 Japanese pirates to lay down their armor and surrender.
No other conditions will be accepted."

Zhao Lie took a good look at the Japanese actor opposite him.
He noticed that Doi Risheng's eyes shrank and couldn't help but sneered, "As for the so-called Japanese general, haha, I will march to Edo with a large army and horses to have a good fight with Tokugawa Iemitsu."
Zhao Lie ignored Doi Lisheng, whose expression changed greatly, and looked up at the sky.
"I'll give you time to wait for a stick of incense.
If you don't put down your armor and surrender after that, then I will let the artillery continue to bombard until the army you are waiting for is destroyed, and then the cavalry will descend in one fell swoop.
At that time, my order will be to leave no one alive."
Zhao Lie looked at Doi Lisheng with cold eyes.
Doi Lisheng gritted his teeth and looked back at Zhao Lie.
He didn't see any fluctuation in Zhao Lie's eyes.
It seemed that General Mingren was telling the truth.
If he disobeyed his orders, he would not mind killing him.
"If their safety is not guaranteed, these more than 10,000 soldiers may not lay down their weapons."
Doi Toshiki decided to delay it and negotiate terms.
"Don't say more.
I can only say that I will not destroy their lives easily.
After all, I am here for money and food and Japan's letter of surrender, not for a killing spree.
With these soldiers in hand, I will also Let’s have a good discussion with the Tokugawa family.
Of course, if some people try to get away with it or are just trying to get lucky, I, the Ming Army, don’t mind allowing them to be reincarnated as soon as possible and let your Lord Hachiman accept them as soon as possible.”
After Zhao Lie finished speaking, he grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth, which shone in the sunlight, making it look indescribably weird against his slightly dark face.
Doi Risheng wanted to say more, but Zhao Lie stopped him with a raised hand and raised his hand to the guards, "Take them out of the formation."
Then he turned to Doi Toshikatsu, "Remember, there is only one time to burn incense.
If the time passes, the cannon will roar again, and you will never survive the sunset."
Without waiting for Doi Risheng to say anything, Zhao Lie waved his hand, and more than a dozen guards swarmed up and pushed them towards the front of the formation.
Doi Toshi was upset, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Now that he was a fish and he was a knife, what can you say, you can only say it after you go back.
On the way back, he passed by the marching artillery position.
He saw many gunners sitting on the ground waiting, and some even talked and laughed in a low voice, appearing to be in a good mood.
Doi Toshikatsu looked at these big guys with mixed emotions.
He was passive today thanks to these thick black barrels.
These barrels will continue to wreak havoc in the future, but the shogunate army has no way to deal with them.
They can only attack them in the hundreds of seconds.
If we step outside and fight hard, alas, today's defeat can be said that these big cannons and cavalry are the reason why the Ming Dynasty will win.
But the troops of the Ming army were really poor.
To be fair to Toi Toshiki, the troops of the Ming army were enough to compete with the ashigaru of the shogunate, and even gain the upper hand.
Skills are not as good as people, skills are not as good as people.
Doi Toshiki returned to his home military formation with mixed feelings.
"So, Akito, do you agree?"
The first person to ask this question was Naotaka Ii.
It seemed that the elder could no longer keep his temper.
Doi Toshiki shook his head and sighed, "The other side's general clearly refused and asked our army to lay down their armor and surrender within a stick of incense.
Otherwise, they will continue to bombard our army.
When the big cannon defeats our army, it will be a full-scale attack, and said , then no one will be left alive.”
Ii Naotaka's face immediately fell.
He had been waiting for this bad news for a long time.
It was strange that he was in a good mood.

"It's shameless to say that even if our army is completely annihilated, the Ming army will suffer heavy casualties."
Hota Masamori said fiercely.
He was holding back a fire in his heart.
This battle was hampered at every turn.
He felt that the shogunate army had not used its full strength and the battle was just a defeat.
This made Hota Masamori, who was fighting as a veteran for the first time, extremely angry.
"Then, nearly half of the shogunate's elite troops were lost here.
In addition to the more than 20,000 standing troops, our Tokugawa family only has 60,000 standing troops that can be used.
We have to guard millions of koku of acres of land and monitor nearly 200 daimyo from various places. , once there is any trouble, you can only use more than 20,000 standing troops to go out.
Is this the annihilation of your entire army?
Besides, Akito will definitely approach Edo.
How do you deal with it, Your Majesty the General?
" Doi Toshiki was really anxious.
This idiot somehow knew how to advance and retreat.
Yes, the shogunate had 80,000 standing troops and nearly 10,000 banner warriors.
However, nearly half of the elites were here.
Once they were all wiped out, the shogunate had only troops stationed everywhere.
They could only reluctantly dispatch 20,000 troops.
Once the Sendai Domain in the northeast, the Choshu Domain in the west, and the Satsuma Domain in the southwest were in trouble, or they colluded with each other, where would the shogunate come from to attack with a large army.
Not to mention that Ming people would give up and retreat if they did not get any benefits.
They would definitely not go to Edo.
The shogunate army defeated the Ming army based on the fortified city and let the Ming army return defeated.
As the saying goes, kill.
The enemy has lost one thousand to eight hundred, and I am afraid that the shogunate army will continue to lose strength.
By then, I am afraid that all the daimyo in Japan will be ready to take action, and the rule of the Tokugawa family will be on the verge of collapse.
This Hota Masamori is too ambitious.
Well, Hota Masamori was immediately speechless.
Yes, what he did made him happy, and it was also in line with the spirit of Bushido proposed by General Hidetada.
It could be regarded as killing one's life, but it was harmful to the Tokugawa family.
After all, nearly half of the elites were lost, and then the general was asked to deal with this mess.
Thinking of this, Hota Masamori had a headache for the general.
Seeing that Hota was declining, Doi Toshikatsu did not continue to ridicule him.
The time was not right now.
How to deal with Akito was the most important thing now, and everything else was secondary.
At this moment, there was an uproar in front of the shogunate's formation.
After a while, the big gunners guarding the Ming army began to load the big cannon, and they were about to launch it again.
The three of them looked at each other and knew that they had to give up now, but no one wanted to be the first to bring it up, otherwise they would bear the eternal infamy.
However, they thought that this infamy would last for eternity and become the eternal pillar of shame for the family.
In fact, it is very easy to understand.
Think about Li Hongzhang's life.
He has made great achievements, but the Treaty of Shimonoseki that was signed in the end wiped out his reputation.
As long as the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which ceded territory to pay compensation and lost power and humiliated the country, was mentioned, Li Hongzhang's name would be mentioned. and.
At this time, these three people all want to get rid of the big label of surrendering family boss in Japanese history, but the artillery of the Polu army will not wait for them.
Boom boom boom, dozens of cannons roared again, and all kinds of screams and screams began to fill the entire battlefield.
Blood alleys and various flying trapezes began to appear in the shogunate army's formation.

Here, it became a human world in the daytime. hell.
Doi Toshikatsu looked at his two colleagues who still closed their eyes and said nothing, and sighed.
"I can't bear to see all the elite members of the Tokugawa family lost, that's all, I'll go ahead."
Naotaka Ii and Masamori Hotta breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that someone finally took the lead.
However, they were not very young and were really unwilling to leave their positions as eldest and middle-aged, not to mention leaving with such an infamy.
Both of them felt guilty and bowed deeply to apologize
