Chapter 1370: The Emperor and His Relatives?


Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at his trembling niece with a cloudy expression.

Not to mention that it's not Xingzi's fault, even if it's her, Tokugawa Iemitsu can't do anything to her.

Although the imperial family has always been a puppet, the shogunate has changed from generation to generation, and the imperial family has always stood tall, which shows the importance of tiānhuáng in the Japanese kingdom.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's power far exceeds that of his father, and far beyond his ancestor Tokugawa Ieyasu, and even Toyotomi Hideyoshi is much inferior, after all, they are all conquering the major names by force, Kamirako succeeded, Tokugawa Iemitsu did inherit the Tokugawa family shogun, through a series of drastic means, his control has penetrated into all corners of the Wa Kingdom.

But even so, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't dare to risk the world's big disregard but moved tiānhuáng, with a raging fire in his heart, staring at Ming Zheng tiānhuáng Xingzi and saying, "Where is your father?"

” The queen of Hou Mizuo Tiānhuáng is the sister of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the two are not much different in age, and it stands to reason that the relationship should be good, but their relationship was on the same side more than ten years ago, and they fought openly and secretly with each other, and never stopped.

Xingzi was worried that something would happen, so he bit his lip and said, "Uncle, I will take this matter with all my might." ” The corners of Tokugawa Ieba's face twitched fiercely, and he said coldly: "You bear it?"

How do you bear it?

The edict of crusading against me with the great seal of tiānhuáng has spread throughout the Wa Kingdom, and I don't know how many people have asked me to go into the wilderness!

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was defeated, the navy was destroyed, and 30,000 shogunate elites were buried at the bottom of the sea!

The Ming Kingdom is eyeing the tiger, and the soldiers are gathered in the Guanmen Strait, which may be broken at any time and set foot on Jiuguo Island!

Some people even took the opportunity to add to the chaos, and their attitude was unpredictable, and they unanimously recruited samurai, and they were already disobedient to the dispatch of Mufu......

The island is now in shambles......

Do you think I should pass on the throne now and go to the temple to cultivate?

” Tokugawa Iemitsu was originally angry, but in the end he still pressed it, and he didn't say much until the point.

Koko could feel Tokugawa Iemitsu's anger, and even though she was young and a puppet, she could understand the difficult situation Tokugawa Iemitsu was facing.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, I am willing to marry the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, and ask the Ming Dynasty to call off the army." ” The root of everything is the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, as the Xingzi of Tiānhuáng, he intends to sacrifice her in exchange for the peace of the Wa Kingdom, and also for the sake of Tokugawa Iemitsu to break up with her father.

When Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, he was furious, and instinctively refused, but then his brows furrowed and his eyes flashed.

An elder behind Tokugawa Iemitsu also looked slightly moved, looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu, and did not speak.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's anger suddenly disappeared for some reason, and his face was still full of anger, and he said, "You all stay in the palace honestly for me now, and you must not have any contact with the outside world, and tell him that if you give me honesty, otherwise, I will shut him up forever!"

” Xingzi listened to Tokugawa Iemitsu's undisguised murderous intentions, her pretty face turned pale, and she bit her lip and didn't make a sound.

Tokugawa Iemitsu walked out of the palace, got into the carriage, and said in a cold tone: "I surrounded the palace, and not a single fly is allowed to fly in or out!"

” "Yes!"

A samurai behind him bowed down, and then quickly went to make arrangements.

It didn't take long for the shogunate's troops to surround the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

If it weren't for the scruples of the daimyo who were already suspicious of the various places, Tokugawa Iemitsu would have been eager to wash the palace in the snow.

Soon back at the shogun's mansion, Tokugawa Iyoshi sat on his knees, boiling tea with an expressionless face.

Kneeling in front of him sat two family elders, all of whom were loyal to the top five in the Wa Kingdom, and the two of them bowed their heads slightly with solemn expressions.

An edict from the Ming Dynasty put the Tokugawa shogunate in an extremely embarrassing situation, losing its command of the Wa Kingdom and resisting the righteousness of the Ming Dynasty.

These voices are not groundless, such as Tokugawa Iemitsu's adoptive mother who openly broke into the palace a few years ago and forced Tiānhuáng to come out to see her, a 'lowly woman', which was an insult to Tiānhuáng and was hated by Hou Mizuo Tiānhuáng.

Naturally, there was a lot of discussion among the people of the Japanese country, and the voices accusing Tokugawa Iemitsu had not stopped.

In addition, Tokugawa Iemitsu was extremely harsh on the daimyo in various places, not only did he pay heavy taxes, but also kept his wife and children as hostages in Edo, and he also stipulated a half-year audience, so that they were on the road almost all year round, and almost lost control of the feudal country!

Now that the disaster is surging, the Ming Dynasty is attacking, and Tokugawa Iemitsu is strongly ordering troops to be recruited everywhere, it can be said that one contradiction after another has been catalyzed and inflated at this time.

The old Fujita said: "Gongfang, things haven't come to that point yet, Izu Shou can hold the Guanmen Strait, as long as the Guanmen Strait is handed over again, at most two months, the Ming Dynasty can only truce." ” It will freeze in autumn in two months, and the war has lasted for so long, it is inevitable to rest, and in one winter, I have to fight again next year.

Another old pine said, "Gongfang, although there are some discussions in various places, but they are all controllable, as long as the strait is closed, nothing else is a problem." ” Although the two of them are cheering up Tokugawa Iemitsu, they also said the fact that the Tokugawa family has been cultivated for three generations, and the foundation of the Wa Kingdom is still good, and with Tokugawa Iemitsu's control over various places, no one has been able to turn the sky over.

Tokugawa Iemitsu took a sip of tea, his face was not good-looking, he looked up at the two of them, and said, "How long do you think Izu Mamoru can last?"

” The people here are very aware that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty has been the combat strength of the army, and now more than 100,000 troops have gathered, and there are only 80,000 people in Aoyama Tadashi, even if it is a tough encounter, Aoyama Tadashi does not seem to have any hope of victory.

Fujita hesitated for a while and said, "Izu is skilled in military techniques, and he has been in battle for many years, two months, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be difficult." ” Things on the battlefield, where is there a 'reason'.

Matsuki said, "Don't worry, the newly recruited 30,000 people have already set off, and they will soon arrive on the east shore of the Kanmon Strait to meet Izu Mamoru." ” For the Wa Kingdom, the Guanmen Strait is their gateway, and if this gateway is kept, the Wa State is safe, and if it is lost, the Wa State will be in danger.

This place, very similar to the Shanhaiguan of the Ming Dynasty, is a fortress that cannot be lost!

Tokugawa Iemitsu is not a fool, looking at the two of them, he said with a faint gaze: "How long can the grain and grass in the Guanmen Strait last?"

” 80,000 plus 30,000 is more than 100,000, plus the previous one, the total number of more than 200,000 troops, two months of grain and grass, even if the foundation of the Japanese country is good, it can't withstand consumption, not to mention, I don't know how long it will last.

Fujita's expression was slightly condensed, and he turned his head to look at Matsuki.

Matsuki's expression was a little unsightly, and he said, "Naito's hall raised a month's worth of grain and grass before leaving, and it will not be a problem to close the strait and last for a month." ” This answer punctured their empty words that made Aoyama Tadashi persist for two months.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was not angry, everything was well understood, and said lightly: "You say, how are we going to deal with it now?"

” Fujita's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "We need time, we need to make the Ming army stop." ” Matsuki didn't know Tokugawa Iemitsu as well as Fujita, and thought to himself: "I'm afraid it's impossible to stop the Ming Dynasty, if you can't fight head-on, I suggest that Izu Mamoru take the initiative to attack, if you can thwart the spirit of the Ming army, maybe you can change some of the situation." ” Tokugawa Iemitsu ignored Matsuki's words, looked at Fujita and said, "How do you make the Ming army stop?"

” Fujita bowed slightly and said, "Peaceful with the Ming Dynasty, tiānhuáng married into the Ming Dynasty." ” Tokugawa Iemitsu listened, his face expressionless, and he did not speak.

Matsuki was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't say anything in shock.
