Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 736 The Surrender of Tokugawa Iemitsu

What Tokugawa Iemitsu wrote was nothing else but the surrender form handed over to Hong Chengchou.

Things have progressed to the present, and Tokugawa Iemitsu also knows that he has no way out.

The current him, even if he pushes all the soldiers and horses up, he is not Hong Chengchou's opponent.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was lying on the ground blankly, his eyes glazed over, and his heart was disorganized.

He thought of many things, he thought of the first decree he issued when he had just become the shogun, he thought of a lot.

Things from the past kept reappearing in Tokugawa Iemitsu's mind.

The sun rose above the horizon, and sunlight streamed in through the windows of the tent.

Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up from the ground, he didn't sleep all night last night.

Tokugawa Iemitsu picked up the watch on the table and walked outside.

At this time, his important minister Matsudaira Nobutsuna had just come to him.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at Matsudaira Nobuzuna and handed him the surrender form in his hand.

"You take this to find those people!" Tokugawa Iemitsu said.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna took the watch from Tokugawa Iemitsu, but because he didn't open it, Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't know what was in it.

"General, what's in it?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna asked.

Iemitsu Tokugawa said: "What else? Surrender, we are not their opponents, let's surrender, we can only surrender, we only have to surrender!"

After Tokugawa Iemitsu finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the tent.Matsudaira Nobutsuna was thrown in place.

"Hoohoo!"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at the watch in his hand, panting heavily.

In fact, Matsudaira Nobuzuna had already thought of Tokugawa Iemitsu's surrender, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at the watch in his hand with complicated emotions.

There is sadness, arrogance, and the joy of surviving a catastrophe.

No one in this world is willing to die, and no one is not afraid of death.

Although Matsudaira Nobuzuna is an important minister under Tokugawa Iemitsu, he is also afraid of death.

All the bullshit bushido is a lie, the real ability is to survive.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna took a deep breath, and walked towards the distance with the drop watch.

Not long after, Matsudaira Nobutsuna rode a war horse and headed south with a few guards.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground, Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at the road ahead, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was actually not far away from Tokugawa Iemitsu, and it took half a day to die.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was running forward on a pony horse. There were almost no decent roads on Ezo Island, so Matsudaira Nobutsuna was not fast.

At the location where Matsudaira Nobutsuna gathered for a mile or so, a group of Ye Bushou on horseback were searching.

There were about 20 people in this group who were not accepted at night, and they were led by a man named Zeng Hailong.

Zeng Hailong rode the horse and controlled the horse to move forward slowly.

"Boom!"

Several bursts of hurried hoofbeats reached Zeng Hailong's ears.

"The sound of horseshoes is not from our horses!" Zeng Hailong soon discovered that the sound of horseshoes was not from their horses.

The reason is very simple, that is, the sound of the horse's hooves is a bit ethereal and not very clear.

Zeng Hailong took off the 56 Chong on his shoulder, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound of horseshoes.

"Everyone, get ready, don't panic!" Zeng Hailong shouted to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers behind him hastily removed the weapons from their shoulders, and looked around vigilantly like Zeng Hailong.

The sound of horseshoes in Zeng Hailong's ears became louder and louder. Zeng Hailong's eyes gradually narrowed and he looked forward.

A figure appeared in front of Zeng Hailong. Zeng Hailong looked at the figure in front of him and became vigilant.

"Someone is coming in front, let's go up!" Zeng Hailong said, holding the 56 in his left hand, and holding the horse's rein with his right hand, and walked towards the front.

The person who appeared in front of Zeng Hailong was none other than Matsudaira Nobuzuna with Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna also saw Zeng Hailong coming towards him.

However, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was not afraid for this reason, and was even a little happy.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, slowing down the pony under his crotch.

"Surrender, surrender, I'm here to surrender, I'm here to surrender, I'm here to surrender!" Matsudaira Nobutsuna stopped, jumped off his horse, and shouted loudly at Zeng Hailong.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna can speak Chinese, so Zeng Hailong and the others can understand what Matsudaira Nobutsuna is saying.

Hearing Matsudaira Nobuzuna's voice, Zeng Hailong frowned, and said with a smile: "Surrender? There's an avatar, I didn't expect it, to surrender?"

Zeng Hailong laughed jokingly, looked at the soldiers behind him, "Brothers, charge up!"

While speaking, Zeng Hailong led the soldiers under his command to rush forward.

Zeng Hailong was not afraid of Matsudaira Nobutsuna's tricks at all, because Matsudaira Nobutsuna's number was not many, only about seven or eight people.

From Zeng Hailong's point of view, these seven or eight people are better than ordinary dogs.

"Applause!!!"

Zeng Hailong pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, and stopped in front of Nobutsuna Matsudaira.

The smoke under the horse's hoof narrowed Matsudaira Nobutsuna's face, but Matsudaira Nobuzuna did not avoid it, but bowed respectfully.

The Japanese people in this era are not tall. To put it bluntly, 1.6 meters is very tall among the Japanese people.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna's height is not even 1.6 meters, only about 1.5 meters five.

Zeng Hailong is a big man with a height of 1.8 meters. He jumped off his horse and came to Nobuzuna Matsudaira.

Zeng Hailong stood in front of Matsudaira Nobuzuna, the gap was like the gap between father and son.

Zeng Hailong looked down at Matsudaira Nobuzuna, and jokingly said: "I just heard you say that you want to surrender? Is it true?"

Matsudaira Nobuzuna smiled flatteringly and said, "My lord, it's not me who wants to surrender, but our shogun who wants to surrender!"

"What do you mean? Explain clearly!"

"I mean, our shogun wants to surrender to you, and all of us want to surrender to you." Matsudaira Nobutsuna explained.

"what?"

Zeng Hailong's face was full of excitement, he really didn't expect this result.

Just now, Zeng Hailong thought it was only the few people in front of him who wanted to surrender, but he didn't expect so many people to surrender.

"Didn't you lie to me? You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?" Zeng Hailong couldn't believe it.

After all, Tokugawa Iemitsu and the others have not surrendered for such a long time before, and there is no serious battle now, so they surrendered?
"This is the shogun's surrender list, I really didn't deceive you!"

Seeing that Zeng Hailong didn't believe it, Matsudaira Nobuzuna took out the surrender form that Tokugawa Iemitsu had given him and handed it to Zeng Hailong.

Zeng Hailong looked at the surrender watch in Matsudaira Nobutsuna's hand, but didn't take it.

"I believe it, you should put away this surrender form. Surrender is a very important matter, how about this, you follow me, follow me to my master!" Zeng Hailong said and got on his horse.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna also hurriedly got on his horse, followed behind Zeng Hailong, and headed south.

Zeng Hailong met many Ye Bu Shou along the way. After hearing Zeng Hai Long's voice, these Ye Bu Shou hurriedly followed behind Zeng Hai Long, surrounding Matsudaira Nobutsuna in the middle.

Zeng Hailong and his gang headed towards Hong Chengchou's direction.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was riding a war horse and heading forward under the protection of a group of people.

Sakata Arii followed behind Hong Chengchou, his face was full of excitement.

Hong Chengchou looked at the excited Sakata Arii and asked, "Why are you so excited?"

"The reason why the villain is excited is very simple, that is, we are about to defeat Tokugawa Iemitsu, and we are about to take down all of Wa Kingdom." Sakata Arui said with a smile.

"It's just a small Japanese country. To this old man, it's just within reach." Hong Chengchou said solemnly.

Hong Chengchou is also in a good mood now. After all, the greatest contribution is the founding of the country. Apart from the founding of the country, the greatest contribution is the opening of Xinjiang.

To a certain extent, Hong Chengchou felt that what he did in the country of Wa was the opening of the frontier.

"Report!"

At this moment, a loud and bold voice came from a distance.

A soldier on a horse came to Hong Chengchou with an excited expression on his face.

"Report, my lord, Tokugawa Iemitsu surrendered, and he sent an envoy to deliver the surrender form!" The soldier came to Hong Chengchou and shouted at Hong Chengchou.

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Is this true?"

"My lord, I dare not deceive you with such words!" The soldier replied.

Hong Chengchou shook his head, "I'm not talking about that, I'm saying, is it really the envoy sent by Iemitsu Tokugawa? Is there really a letter from Iemitsu Tokugawa in the envoy's hand?"

"My lord, although I haven't seen the surrender table, I have seen the envoy sent by Tokugawa Iemitsu. I can't be wrong." The soldier replied.

"Okay, if that's the case, let him come to see me!" Hong Chengchou said enthusiastically.

"As ordered!"

The soldier replied, turned around, and headed forward.

Not long after, more than a dozen soldiers with live ammunition came towards Hong Chengchou.

In the center of these soldiers is Nobuzuna Matsudaira holding the surrender form of the Tokugawa family.

Because Matsudaira Nobutsuna was too short, Hong Chengchou didn't see him.

These soldiers stopped in front of Hong Chengchou, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna walked out from among the soldiers.

"I have seen the Governor!"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna held the surrender form written by Tokugawa Iemitsu high above his head, and at the same time knelt down.

Hong Chengchou rode on a war horse, condescending, looking down at Matsudaira Nobuzuna.

"Are you the envoy sent by Tokugawa Iemitsu? Is Tokugawa Iemitsu really going to surrender?" Hong Chengchou asked calmly.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna knelt there with his head bowed. "I am the envoy sent by the shogun, and what I have in my hand is the surrender form written by the shogun himself!"
