Chapter 2375 The Betrayal Of Orochi Baqi

Chapter 2371: The Betrayal of Yamata no Orochi

The whole process of Uesugi Kenshin surrendering to the Qin Dynasty was naturally not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. First of all, she had to know the attitude of the rest of the Uesugi family.

After a series of trials, it was discovered that Uesugi Kenshin found that under Zhou Yu's gentle strategy, the Uesugi family did not object to Jiang Qin, and there were only a few people including her in the true sense of the death-fighting faction.

That's right, Uesugi Kenshin is actually a death fighter. If she hadn't been extremely determined to resist Qin, the resistance of the Uesugi family would not have been so strong anyway.

But Uesugi Kenshin, who was a death-fighting faction, had the idea of ​​surrendering because he and she understood the essence of this battle.

This is a war without any hope. The sacrifices and contributions between the two sides are completely out of proportion. Even if the fight continues, it will be nothing but sacrifices.

Uesugi Kenshin didn't want her new national to continue such meaningless sacrifices, so her thoughts changed.

But when he found out that some people in Uesugi's family realized this even earlier than her, Uesugi Kenshin was actually a little confused in his heart, and of course he was more moved.

The retainers knew that resistance would be a road of no return, but they still persisted and were willing to follow her all the way to the dark, so Uesugi Kenshin could not let them go to a dead end.

Negotiations between the two countries are imperative.

Although Uesugi Kenshin has a heart to surrender, he also knows that he must never kneel down easily, otherwise it will only be looked down upon, and he will not get any respect after surrendering. Only her waist is strong enough to win more for the soldiers and civilians of the Uesugi family. many benefits.

Therefore, Uesugi Kenshin still maintains the hawkish approach on the surface, but let the doves go to Qin Ying to show that she is unwilling to surrender, but many people in the Uesugi family want to surrender, and she was forced to initiate negotiations because of the coercion of her courtiers. .

Therefore, if you want the Uesugi family to open the city and surrender, Qin Jun also needs to show sincerity.

Uesugi Kenshin dared to conclude that Zhou Yu must be eager for her to surrender. After all, there are still [-] defenders in Toyama City, and the Uesugi family also has a lot of troops in other places.

For the Qin army, accepting the surrender of the Uesugi family can not only minimize casualties, but also receive an army capable of conscripting and fighting, which is obviously a matter of great benefit and no harm.

As Uesugi Kenshin expected, Zhou Yu and Guo Jia were overjoyed when they learned that the Uesugi family had sent envoys to negotiate.

Although they are sure that they will capture Toyama Castle, or even destroy the Uesugi family, but the losses they have paid are too great, so it is best to win without a fight.

Even though Uesugi Kenshin was still reluctant to surrender, since he sent envoys to negotiate, this was a good sign in Zhou Yu's view.

Of course, even if Zhou Yu could agree to all the conditions put forward by Kenshin Uesugi, it was impossible to really agree to them all.

It's not that Zhou Yu is stingy, but that he can't mess with the beginning. What if other forces in Wa country also follow Uesugi Kenshin's big mouth and don't surrender if they don't agree?
So there must be some negotiation.

After receiving the envoys from the Uesugi family, Zhou Yu immediately sent envoys into the city to tell Uesugi Kenshin what conditions he agreed to and what he disagreed with.

Zhou Yu's sending envoys to the city is not only expressing sincerity, but also testing Uesugi Kenshin's attitude to see if she is really unwilling or pretending to be unwilling.

If he was really unwilling, then Zhou Yu would have to hold back when negotiating. Otherwise, once he was completely enraged and he was unwilling to surrender no matter what, it would be really self-defeating.

If he pretends to be reluctant, it means that Uesugi Kenshin is only relying on this to win more benefits for the soldiers and civilians of the Uesugi family. Then Zhou Yu will have more confidence, and there is no need to promise him so many privileges.

Uesugi Kenshin also guessed Zhou Yu's intentions, so her next meeting with Master Qin will be related to the future of the entire Uesugi family, and it's time to test her acting skills.

Uesugi Kenshin lurks beside Zhou Yu and has been a maid for more than a year, so her acting skills are naturally excellent.

When facing the envoy of Qin, she vividly interpreted the image of a monarch who would rather be broken than broken, but was forced to negotiate under the coercion of his courtiers.

Anyway, the envoy Qin didn't see any flaws, and told Zhou Yu the truth.

After Zhou Yu and Guo Jia learned of this, they were more inclined to relax the conditions in their hearts. First, they surrendered the Uesugi family, and then dragged them into Daqin's chariot.

However, one of the surrender conditions of Uesugi Kenshin is that after the surrender of the Uesugi family, the Qin army will be ruled by the Qin law.

Neither Zhou Yu nor Guo Jia can decide on this condition, after all, Da Qin has not even revoked the order to slaughter the Japanese.

Even if the Great Qin later assimilated the Wa people into the Han people in order to rule the Wa country, and would give them the same legal status as the Han people, but now Zhou Yu and Guo Jia really can't do this.

Around this issue, the two sides launched fierce negotiations, but Uesugi Kenshin refused to let go, and she decided not to back down on this point.

The occupied Kyushu Island and the western region, under the rule of the Central Plains Allied Forces, seem to be the same as before, but in fact there is no guarantee.

Once the Qin army needs it, whether it is food, wealth, or men and women, they must serve the Qin army, which is no different from slaves.

If Uesugi Kenshin surrendered in this way, then she would be the sinner who dragged the entire country's name into the fire pit, so she must strive for the status after the surrender anyway.

Uesugi Kenshin's determination forced Zhou Yu to step back. Although he couldn't make the decision for the time being, he could do his best to help the Uesugi family fight for it.

In short, let the Uesugi family surrender first before talking about anything else.

In the end, after three days of negotiations, Uesugi Kenshin officially signed the surrender and surrendered to the Qin army headed by Zhou Yu.

At the surrender ceremony, Zhou Yu received the letter of surrender from Kenshin Uesugi, as well as the seal of the Uesugi family and the roster of household registration, and his heart couldn't stop the ecstasy.

Since he came to Wa country, the most difficult opponent he has encountered is Uesugi Kenshin, and now this opponent has finally surrendered.

The surrender of the Uesugi family is completely different from that of the Otomo Mori family.

The surrender of the Otomo and Mori families was driven to a desperate situation, so they had to surrender, and the help for the Qin army was limited.

But with Kenshin Uesugi's surrender, the remaining [-] cities of the Uesugi family will also give up resistance to Kaesong's surrender.

Not only can the Qin army acquire a large amount of territory without spending a single soldier, but it will also have an extra [-] to [-] Qin Xiejun out of thin air to help. The situation in the Wa country can be said to be very good.

"General Uesugi, you give up your family's self-interest to fight for the interests of the people. Zhou admires you very much." Zhou Yu said with a look of admiration.

He and Uesugi Kenshin are old rivals, and they know each other very well.

This time Uesugi Kenshin would rather sacrifice the interests of the Uesugi family than fight for the interests of the common people. This made Zhou Yu completely change his impression of him, and his respect and favor in his heart also increased a lot.

"Promise your conditions, Zhou will definitely obey, but Zhou really can't decide the status of the people for the time being, but I will definitely do my best to help you fight for it." Zhou Yu said seriously.

Uesugi Kenshin nodded: "With your words, I can rest assured. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of Daqin will definitely accept the ordinary people of the Uesugi family after knowing what the Uesugi family has done."

Uesugi Kenshin knows her own weight, she can't help all the people of the Wa country to win the same status as the Han people, but at least she must prevent the people of the Uesugi family from becoming slaves.

Zhou Yu's eyes were full of surprise, and he asked again: "General Uesugi, aren't you afraid that Zhou just promises you verbally, but actually doesn't do anything?"

Uesugi Kenshin shook his head: "You are Zhou Yu, a modest gentleman, once you say a word, it is hard to follow, and you will not keep your word."

The surprise in Zhou Yu's eyes was even worse. He didn't understand where Kenshin Uesugi's trust came from, and he seemed to know himself well, but there should be no other communication between him and him except for war. .

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu began to look at Kenshin Uesugi, and under close observation, he actually gave him the feeling of a group of extremely attributes, and the more he looked at them, the more familiar they looked, but he couldn't remember who they were, which was really strange.

"General Uesugi, besides the battlefield, have we met in other places?" Zhou Yu asked with a serious face.

Uesugi Ken couldn't help trembling in confidence. After hesitating for a while, he said bitterly: "You still found out."

Saying that, Uesugi Kenshin took off his helmet and put down his coiled hair. After the three thousand worries fell, the temperament of the whole person immediately changed, revealing an extremely feminine and beautiful face.

Zhou Yu was startled when he saw this, but when he saw his face clearly, his eyes widened and he was completely stunned, so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

"This, no, how could it be you? Shang Shanshan?"

"That's right, Shang Shanshan is Uesugi Kenshin."

Uesugi Kenshin opened his mouth and his voice became more delicate, not as neutral as before.

(⊙ω⊙`)!

Zhou Yu suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, and took a few steps back, leaning on the table behind him, looking frightened.

"Wait, let me take it easy, let me take it easy."

The iron-like facts were in front of him, but Zhou Yu still looked unbelievable.

"Uesugi Kenshin is actually a woman? And monk Shanshan is alone? How is this possible?"

"Kenshin Uesugi was originally a woman. Many people in the Uesugi family know that when I was trapped, I pretended to be a Han girl Shang Shanshan in order to escape, but I didn't expect to become your maid."

"So you took advantage of the situation and stayed by my side, pretending to be a maid on the surface, but in fact it was to inquire about information?"

As he said that, Zhou Yu showed a look of surprise, and smiled wryly: "So, the reason why Dongying was able to know in advance that the news of the Central Plains coalition's conquest of the Japanese was the information you sent?"

"That's right." Uesugi Kenshin nodded.

Things have developed to this point, and she has even surrendered to Qin. There is no need to hide the secrets she has done before from Zhou Yu. It is better to speak out generously to gain his trust and understanding.

щ(゜ロ゜щ)
Zhou Yu didn't know what to say anymore, he was in a state of bewilderment.

In just a few sentences, the amount of information revealed was too great, and he had to slow down a bit.

First of all, Uesugi Kenshin was originally a woman, she disguised herself as Shang Shanshan, and lurked by her side, getting along with her day and night for more than a year.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu only felt cold sweat on his back, and at the same time, a bigger doubt arose in his heart, that is, why didn't Uesugi Kenshin kill him?

At that time, he and Uesugi Kenshin were in a hostile relationship. If the other party wanted to murder him, there were many opportunities.

Zhou Yu didn't ask Uesugi Kenshin again, because these are meaningless, after all, he is still alive and well, and Uesugi Kenshin has also become a colleague of him, but the look he looks at Uesugi Kenshin has become complicated.

"Commander Zhou, I also have a question I want to ask, I hope you can answer me truthfully." Uesugi Kenshin said seriously.

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Just ask."

"If the Uesugi family's resistance was not so strong, would you still agree to those conditions?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhou Yu opened his mouth and said, "Absolutely not."

"really."

Uesugi Kenshin smiled wryly, but he was more relieved,
Facing a monster like Daqin, being weak is the original sin, and the Uesugi family will die on the weak side, so her decision is not wrong, at least all the soldiers and civilians of the Uesugi family will be saved.

"You may be upset now, but decades later, when this country is completely assimilated by the Great Qin, you will definitely be grateful for your decision today, and the descendants of the Japanese will also be grateful to you."

Zhou Yu said confidently, and he would only say this to Uesugi Kenshin, because she is a daimyo who will really consider for the common people at the bottom.

"Being a Japanese, they are not even as good as a dog. Only when they become a Han can they live like a human."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Uesugi Kenshin subconsciously wanted to refute, but the boss who opened his mouth was speechless, because what Zhou Yu said was the truth.

Uesugi Kenshin's voluntary surrender allowed Zhou Yu to complete the battle plan ahead of schedule, and his next goal was the Kai Gold Mine in the Kingdom of Kai, but before that he had to integrate the resources of the Uesugi family.

The Uesugi family owns the five kingdoms of Echigo, Echichu, Echizen, Noto, and Kitashinano.

Zhou Yu only captured Yuehou and Yuezhong, and the other twenty cities of the other three countries surrendered without a fight. The food, wealth, and surrendered troops in these cities all needed to be accepted by the Qin army one by one.

According to statistics, the total population of the 43 cities of the Uesugi Five Kingdoms before the war was 53, but now there are only a little over 40 left.

Nearly 13 soldiers and civilians of the Uesugi family died in this battle.

This is also the battle with the least killing but the biggest loss since the Qin army landed in Wa country.

Since then, the territory controlled by the Qin army in the Wa country has reached as many as eleven countries.

Among them: the population of the three countries in Kyushu is 35, the population of the six countries in the west of Honshu is 25, and the population of the five countries in Uesugi is 40.

There are nearly one million Japanese people under the rule of Daqin.

The total number of Uesugi's surrendered troops was 22. Zhou Yu disrupted the organization for training, and set up 3000 battalions with [-] people in each battalion to control the [-] Qin Xiejun.

As for the candidates for the commander of each battalion, the Han generals and the surrendered generals will be divided in half, so as to gain the trust of the surrendered generals and increase the wariness and sense of identity of the surrendered troops.

While Zhou Yu was sharpening his sword, the battle situation in the Kinki Plain also underwent an astonishing change.

The most surprising thing is that in the fight against the allied forces of Wei, Song and Wu, Yaqi Orochi, who made great achievements in the country, betrayed Oda Nobunaga.
