Xinshun 1730

Chapter 432 Only treat loyal ministers as traitors

On the opposite side of the main combat faction, there are not only the capitulation faction, but also the main peace faction.

Rolling all over the ground in pain, with mud all over his bowels, Jing Yi Naoding is the Zhuhe faction.

The reason why there was such a big commotion was that he believed that some conditions of Dashun should be agreed to, and that there should be a bottom-line peace talks.

If you keep fighting, something big will happen.

The lords of the strong vassals will not stop cooperating with Dashun just because they are Japanese.Ordinary people may not understand why, but nobles like Ii Naodada are extremely sober. There have always been rumors in the circle of nobles that Date Masamune asked Spain to borrow troops and divided Japan three-thirds.

The reason for such a big commotion is that they hope to suppress the voice of the main combat faction with death and facilitate peace talks as soon as possible.

After Tokugawa Yoshimune heard the servant's report, his heart sank suddenly, and he tightly grasped the fan in his hand with both hands.

This is a loyal minister.

But he can only be a traitor at this time.

Otherwise, it will be very detrimental to the shogunate.

Regarding the peace talks, the public can talk about it, and the outsiders can talk about it, but the shogunate, pro-fan daimyo, and genealogical daimyo can't talk about it first.

He took two heavy breaths, felt a pain in his heart, then suppressed the pain, pretended to be angry, and shouted: "Inaba Shou is so cowardly in fighting, disturbing our army's morale, talking nonsense about peace. After the embarrassment of Jingkang How is Qin Hui different?"

He cursed angrily, but in his heart he still wanted to see this loyal minister for the last time.

In a state of arrogance, he got up with a flick of his sleeves, and without waiting for the guard of honor, he only wore wooden clogs and stepped out.In fact, he feels sorry for his loyal ministers, not to find fault, but also to bear the infamy, but it is difficult to show concern, so he has to take advantage of the situation.

Hurrying to the place where the crowd was watching, Ii Naodada was not dead yet, he cut very level and did not hurt the main artery.

The retainers who followed couldn't bear to watch it anymore, but the Patriarch's order was that no one should intervene, so they could only kneel down on the ground, weeping bitterly, not daring to raise their heads.

When Tokugawa Yoshimune approached, the retainer knelt down and handed over Ii Naadada's last pen and saber.

Ii Naosada, who was almost fainted, heard Tokugawa Yoshimune's voice, and wanted to struggle a few times to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

It is also the first time Tokugawa Yoshimune has seen such seppuku. There have been many seppuku before, but most of them are fan-cut, and they are just gestures; occasionally there are real ones, which are just cut open, and the wrong person chops them off with a single knife. .

It has never happened before that people really don't behead their heads and endure them alive.

Even the most staunch Nishina Shengxin in the legend, he tore off his intestines immediately after seppuku and threw it to the Oda family; Hattori Hanzo, known as the ninja leader, saw the seppuku scene when he was the wrong person for Tokugawa Nobuyasu , but also had a mental breakdown and had no strength to lift a knife and behead his head.

Before seppuku, watch the bustling inside and outside three floors.The uproar has reached the present, even the faintest can't take it anymore, and ran away.

But Ii Naosada's goal has also been achieved, and the words of seppuku in the downtown area will soon spread throughout Japan.

He wanted to use this most painful way of death to prove one thing, that he was not afraid of fighting, even such a death, so was he still afraid of dying in battle?

It's just that if you really can't fight, if you continue to fight, you will definitely end.So he could only use this method of death to suppress the sound of continuing to fight.

Tokugawa Yoshimune resisted the trembling of his legs, his eyes seemed a little moist, but he still shouted angrily: "You are not afraid of death, how can you be afraid to fight? The shame of Yuen, why don't you fight He Xue?"

After a few angry reprimands, he turned and left without looking back at Jing Yi Naoding.

But after walking a few steps, he finally couldn't bear it and asked his attendants to carry Jing Yi Zhiding into the city.

After entering the city, the rest of the people were dismissed, and Tokugawa Yoshimune came to Ii Naosada alone, tossing until now that Ii Naosada had come back to the light, and wanted to say something, but he had no energy left.

Tokugawa Yoshimune clung to his ear and whispered: "You are a loyal minister, I know you are not afraid of fighting."

After saying a few times, Jing Yi Zhiding let out a sound of exhaling, and knocked on the floor with the last bit of strength, indicating that he heard it.

Tokugawa Yoshimune stood up, left Ii Naodada, called someone, cut off Ii Naodada's head, and finally attached a little skin, ending his pain.

Returning to the living room, dismissed the people around her, and opened the must-pen that was stained with Ii Nao's blood.

When he read about the Battle of Kohama, he pulled out his knife and cut three times on his finger as a memory.

The first of the three cuts, I regret that I should have met Liu Yu at the first time, and I should remember Liu Yu's words in the future, and I can't believe it; the second of the three cuts, I hate Liu Yu for sending him the historical use of riding and shooting, but I use muskets and cannons; At the end of the three cuts, I hated myself for dismissing Arai Shiraishi as soon as I came to power, and for not listening to his suggestion that "Nanman Shixue should be separated from Qiezhidan religion".

After introspecting myself three times, looking at the suggestion of "abandoning water divisions and heavy land warfare" put forward by Naodada Ii, and recalling the tragedy of Naodada Jingi before his death, a few tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, moistening the dry skin on the letter. Blood, a little bit of petals spread out, like a bright red plum.

Originally, according to his thinking, the battle of Dashun was won by the navy, and he should also build a navy.But now seeing Jing Yi Naoding's last words, carefully analyzing the dangers of the Dajian navy, and feeling the extreme distrust of Liu Yu from one of the three provinces who had just cut his finger, he felt that Jing Yi Naoding's words were really reasonable.

If he spends gold and silver to build a navy, as long as Dashun doesn't kill Liu Yu, Liu Yu will definitely think of a way to sink all the navy with his fleet in the middle of his construction.

He would neither do this at the beginning of construction, nor would he do it after completion. Tokugawa Yoshimune thought of Liu Yu's shamelessness and viciousness, and thought that he would definitely do what Ii Naodada said. When all the money was spent and the combat effectiveness was not yet scheduled, there was a wave of burning and killing.

However, even if Ii Naodaka has insight into the direction of the future, building a new type of army, is it easier said than done?

It is said that there are [-] people in the banner, and the interests of the samurai cannot be moved, so there is no money to train new troops.

Before enjoying the famine, the poor couldn't even pay their banner salary, and even suspended their attendance at the pilgrimage.

The financial situation has just improved in the past few years. After fighting such a battle with Dashun, thinking that Liu Yu will definitely ask for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of catties of gold and silver, the financial situation will be even more embarrassing.

There are already five publics and five publics. In addition to the food and card requirements of Wutou Village, it is actually six publics, four publics, or even seven publics and three publics. Is it possible to receive eight publics and two publics?

If the harvest is really like this, I am afraid that the common people will not just negotiate terms with the feudal lord, but will rise up.

The reason why Arai Shiraishi reduced trade and changed policies was because the outflow of gold and silver was too serious.In Liu Yu's letter to him, it clearly stated that he wanted Japan to open up trade, and the outflow of gold and silver would be even more serious by then, and he still had no money.

Even if you can buy guns and cannons, where does the money come from?
The interests of the samurai cannot be changed, so the policy of separation of farmers and soldiers must be guaranteed, and the salary of the samurai must be guaranteed, otherwise the rule of the shogunate will be in jeopardy.

Peasants and soldiers were separated, and the soldiers could only be warriors, and if one died, one less, could it compare to the number of peasants captured by Dashun to serve as soldiers?
At this moment, Tokugawa Yoshimune finally felt the despair of Ii Naodada in the Battle of Obama.

Just like in the first battle of Xiao Bin, the strategy was right, the tactics were good, and the courage was also there, but he just couldn't win.

The future he faces now is the same.

With the idea, the general idea of ​​first land and then sea is correct, but nothing can be done.

After reading it for a long time, it finally turned into a tired long sigh, put the letter away, summoned the old and middle-ranking officials, and issued a series of orders to "defend to the death", which was actually to scare the southwestern feudal clans for the last time.

Command the banner samurai near Wakayama to immediately go north to Osaka and Kyoto.

Order Osaka Joshiro's troops to retreat from Tottori to Kyoto.

Order the samurai of the Okayama and Hiroshima domains to support Kyoto and make preparations for the final battle.

Order the troops supporting the Sendai Domain to return to Edo quickly to prevent Dashun from taking the opportunity to land.

Then, the news of Kyoto was passed on to the vassal lords, indicating that they would establish a new king, resist to the end, and fight to the last person.

These few orders, just sound, are very reasonable.Since they want to fight to the last man, and the Dashun army is strong, it is necessary to gather and fight together.

In fact, letting the samurai of the Okayama and Hiroshima domains support Kyoto is equivalent to opening the flanks of the Changshu domain, deliberately revealing a huge flaw.

This is for Changzhou Fan to express its position: fight or peace.If you continue to fight, Hagi City will be lost.

Anyway, Changzhou Fanshan is far away from the shogunate, so it is not the territory of the shogunate.

Letting the samurai who supported the Sendai domain return is tantamount to giving up the Date family of the Sendai domain.

If you have the ability, you can fight with Dashun by yourself. If you don’t have the ability, you must firmly oppose it when the shogunate wants to establish a new king and fight to the end.

Anyway, even if the Dashun army wanted to attack Edo, they would have to step over the corpses of the feudal clans first.

In order to make a good gesture, Tokugawa Yoshimune wanted to lead the soldiers to Kyoto in person, while Tokugawa Ieshige, who was almost thirty and still wet his pants, stayed behind in Edo.

He indicated that he would fight decisively in Kyoto, encircle and destroy the Dashun Army in Kyoto, and regain Kyoto—after all, even if a new monarch is established and the battle is fought to the death, the new monarch must be in Kyoto to ascend the throne.

…………

In Kyoto, Li Yan is busy asking people to erase all the arrogant words in the imperial palace.

All the usurping plaques that could be taken off were also taken off.

In the past, Wu Fangrui had few people, so in order not to irritate Zhaoren too much, just do not despise evil, there is no problem with this.

As a prince, Li Yan can't just ignore indecent behavior, but smash it if inappropriate, and tear it down if indecent.

More than 4000 troops were stationed in Kyoto, and Wu Fangrui, who had a surprise attack with more than [-] people, was much tougher.

But considering that the other party is also the lord of a country after all, even if he is a subjugated king, he still has the attitude he should have.Zhaoren said to death that he was there for peace talks, not to be a prisoner, otherwise he would commit suicide.

Of course, Li Yan understood what credit it was to catch a job, and what credit it was to behead his head, and he agreed without hesitation, allowing the other party to retain a certain amount of ceremonies for traveling, but he must not exceed the rules of Dashun's etiquette.

Considering the previous exchanges between Japan and North Korea, North Korea is the king of the county, but it can use the prince's ceremony, so Zhaoren is also allowed to use the prince's honor.The etiquette of the two sides is different, Li Yan didn't ask too much, as long as he cut it with the prince's ceremony according to Dashun's rules.

Zhaoren didn't have much ostentation, he was just a shrine.Li Yan fully agreed, saying that he was invited to negotiate instead of taking him as a prisoner, saving a little bit of face so that such a great contribution would not become a dead person.
