Chapter 737 Take Ezo Island

Hong Chengchou rode a war horse, looked at Matsudaira Nobutsuna standing below, and asked, "Are you really the envoy sent by Tokugawa Iemitsu? Does Tokugawa Iemitsu really want to surrender? Or is it just yours?" A plan to slow down the troops?"

Hong Chengchou looked at Matsudaira Nobuzuna coldly, with a stern tone.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna didn't dare to look directly at Hong Chengchou. He lowered his head and said tremblingly: "I am indeed the envoy sent by General Tokugawa Iemitsu, and General Tokugawa Iemitsu really intends to surrender. Now we have reached the end of the road At this point, all that's left is to surrender."

"This is really strange. I heard that what you people like most is to commit suicide by disembowelling. It stands to reason that now that you have become like this, you should commit suicide by disemboweling yourself. How could you surrender?" Hong Chengchou looked playful. Looking at Song Ping Xingang, he said jokingly.

Hong Chengchou had been the governor of the Wa Kingdom for a period of time anyway, so he knew a thing or two about these things.

Song Ping Xingang's face flushed red by Hong Chengchou's words.

Although samurai suicide is the highest honor of a samurai, the highest honor does not mean that samurai like to commit suicide.

Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't want to commit suicide by disembowelling, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's subordinates were also unwilling to commit suicide by disembowelling.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna raised the surrender form in his hand above his head, "My lord, this is the surrender form of our shogun, please have a look at it!"

Hong Chengchou jumped off the horse, stood in front of Song Ping Xingang, and took the surrender form from Song Ping Xingang's hand.

Hong Chengchou opened the watch and squinted his eyes.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's handwriting is good, strong and powerful, but the lines are full of flattery and humility.

If Hong Chengchou didn't know that it was written by Tokugawa Iemitsu, Hong Chengchou would have thought it was written by a flatterer for flattery.

After reading Tokugawa Iemitsu's surrender form, Hong Chengchou closed it and handed it to the guard behind him.

"Your shogun's handwriting is pretty good!" Hong Chengchou looked at Matsudaira Nobuzuna who was kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna said: "Don't dare to use an axe in front of adults!"

"Come on, take him down!" Hong Chengchou pointed at Matsudaira Nobutsuna who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted.

After the words fell, several personal guards came out from behind Hong Chengchou, took Matsudaira Nobutsuna who was kneeling on the ground, and walked back.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't know where he was going to take him, but he didn't resist, he just followed along obediently.

After Matsudaira Nobuzuna was taken down, Hong Chengchou ordered his men to gather the officers and generals at all levels under his command to discuss the surrender.

In the afternoon, Hong Chengchou's generals led their soldiers towards Tokugawa Iemitsu's place.

The next afternoon, Tokugawa Iemitsu and everyone in the Emperor's line were captured by Hong Chengchou.

Since then, the whole territory of Wa Kingdom has been taken down by Hong Chengchou.

The Tokugawa family and the emperor's lineage who fled to Ezo Island were almost all captured by Hong Chengchou.

As for the Ainu people who were harmed by Tokugawa Iemitsu, Hong Chengchou didn't take care of them.

On the way back, Tokugawa Iemitsu and the emperor's line were arranged by Hong Chengchou on his treasure ship.

These two people are the most important people in the Wa country, so Hong Chengchou personally guarded them.

Because Tokugawa Iemitsu surrendered, Hong Chengchou treated Tokugawa Iemitsu fairly well, and did not deal with Tokugawa Iemitsu like he did with other captives.

In the cabin where Tokugawa Iemitsu was imprisoned, Hong Chengchou sat opposite Tokugawa Iemitsu.

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu sat quietly opposite Hong Chengchou, he had completely resigned himself to the current situation.

"I don't dare to say that I understand everything about the situation in the Wa Kingdom, but I do know a thing or two. Although you are only a shogun, you are the real ruler of the Wa Kingdom. Even your emperor must obey your orders." Hong Chengchou calmed down. Said.

In fact, Hong Chengchou wanted to meet this Tokugawa Iemitsu a long time ago, and this Tokugawa Iemitsu was able to play with their emperor in the palm of his hand. For Hong Chengchou who had never seen such a thing, it was a bit unbelievable.

After all, although it is common in the history of the mainland to coerce the emperor to make the princes, in most cases, the emperor still holds the real power.

It is indeed not common for Tokugawa Iemitsu to purely treat the emperor as a puppet.

What's more, the emperor of Japan seems to have rarely been in power since his birth. An emperor without power can continue until now. Hong Chengchou is also very curious about how all this is done.

"My lord, you don't have to insult me ​​like this. If I lose, I lose. You don't have to insult me ​​in this way." Tokugawa Iemitsu turned his head stubbornly, and stopped looking at Hong Chengchou.

Tokugawa Iemitsu can also speak Chinese, and he speaks it well.

In Tokugawa Iemitsu's view, Hong Chengchou was insulting him.

"To be honest, I'm still more interested in these things, so you might as well talk about it." Hong Chengchou didn't give up, and asked.

"My lord, our country of Wa is not like yours. It has a vast land and abundant resources, and it takes a long time to go from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. Our country's area is too small, and it won't take long to traverse the entire country of Wa.

I know that many things in our Wa country are a joke in the eyes of you people.But you can't deny that this is the real situation in the country of Wa. You have been in the country of Wa for so long, and you know what the situation in the country of Wa is.

Here there are many mountains and little land, few fields suitable for cultivation, and very little food production. Insufficient food will lead to insufficient population.

The population is insufficient, so the Wa country has no way to launch a large-scale war.I know you look down on our Wa country, but there is no way.

In our Warring States period, the number of people killed in battle in the entire era may not be as many as yours in a single battle.

But we are small, we can't afford it, every time our soldiers die in battle, it is a huge loss, let alone well-trained warriors.

The lineage of the emperor has stretched for thousands of years. As for why there is no change of dynasty, in my opinion, it is because it is unnecessary.

..." Tokugawa Iemitsu talked about things related to the Wa country in detail.

Hong Chengchou listened to Tokugawa Iemitsu's introduction, his face was full of seriousness.

Hong Chengchou is the governor of the Wa country, and these things still need to be carefully understood, which are still more important for the future governance of the Wa country.

"Okay, let's stop here today!" Hong Chengchou stood up and walked outside.

When Hong Chengchou just walked to the door of the cabin, Tokugawa Iemitsu hurriedly stopped Hong Chengchou, "My lord, wait a minute!"

Hong Chengchou stopped, turned around, and looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu, "What's the matter?"

"I want to know how you plan to deal with me and our emperor?" Iemitsu Tokugawa asked anxiously.

"I don't know, these matters are not up to me, but His Majesty has the final say. I will send you to Xuanzhen and let Your Majesty deal with it." Hong Chengchou said, turned around, and walked forward.

……

After Hong Chengchou returned to Edo, he sent people to Dengzhou with Tokugawa Iemitsu and the Emperor.

After sending them away, Hong Chengchou began to send civil servants and garrisons to Ezo Island.

Ezo Island in this era was still in a barren state, so the number of civil servants sent there was not many.As for the garrison, the number is not too large.

Seven or eight ships sailed quietly on the sea to Dengzhou.

These seven or eight ships were the ones sent by Hong Chengchou to escort Tokugawa Iemitsu and the Emperor of Japan and others.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was sitting in the cabin of the first ship. Because it was not a treasure ship, the cabin was not very spacious and a bit crowded.

The soldiers on the ship would come to inspect the cabin almost every hour, fearing that Tokugawa Iemitsu would escape.

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat on the bed in the middle of the cabin, looking at the window next to the cabin.

The cabin where Tokugawa Iemitsu lives is close to the side, so there is a small window, only the size of a human head.

The window was opened by Iemitsu Tokugawa, and the sound of the sea breeze and waves outside the cabin could be clearly heard while sitting in the cabin.

The current Tokugawa Iemitsu doesn't appreciate these sound ideas at all. The current Tokugawa Iemitsu doesn't even know what his future is, and he doesn't know what he will face.

Tokugawa Iemitsu came to the window and looked at the sea outside the window.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu breathed heavily, and now he was inexplicably flustered.

The farther away from Wa country, the more flustered Tokugawa Iemitsu became.

In the cabin next door was Emperor Meisho.

Because she is still relatively young, she lives with the old woman who took care of her before.

Emperor Meizheng was used to resignation, and she was not as flustered as Tokugawa Iemitsu.

She sat quietly on the bed, holding a book in her hand that she didn't know what was written in it.

This ship was at the forefront of the fleet and the ship with the largest number of soldiers.

In addition to the national flag on the ship, an all-red red flag is also hoisted.

The red flag on the ship is equivalent to the [-]-mile rush on land. No matter what kind of ship it is, as long as it encounters it, it must give way.

A few days later, the fleet arrived at the port outside Dengzhou.

Hong Chengchou had passed the news to Xuanzhen before, so the officials here in Dengzhou also knew the news.

When the fleet just arrived in Dengzhou, the officials of Dengzhou sent soldiers to the port.

After all, Tokugawa Iemitsu and the Emperor are the supreme controllers of the Wa Kingdom, so for safety reasons, Dengzhou officials sent a large number of soldiers to escort Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Tokugawa Iemitsu and Emperor Meizheng were put into the compartment of a wood-fired car by these soldiers and the soldiers on the ship, and then surrounded by groups of soldiers, they went from the pier to the Dengzhou Yamen.

The remaining people were also basically put into the compartments of firewood cars.

The people on the pier watched such a big battle, full of curiosity.

"What's going on here? Why are there so many soldiers?" A businessman looked at the leaving convoy with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, you don't know. Let me tell you, a relative of mine is on duty in the yamen. Let me tell you, the Wa country has been taken by us now. The generals of the Wa country and the emperor of the Wa country have been given to us." captured.

These soldiers were to escort the captives sent from the Wa Kingdom.It's just that the number of soldiers is a bit too large, blocking these prisoners, and they can't see what the prisoners look like. Another businessman standing next to the businessman said with a smile.

The previous businessman turned around and asked incredulously, "Really?"

"Can I still lie to you? Just wait, it won't be long before this will be published in the newspaper!" The businessman said vowedly.

The businessman's voice caught the attention of the people around him, who surrounded the businessman and asked for news.

The businessman proudly showed off his knowledge to these people.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was sitting in the cabin of a wood-burning car, which had a roof welded to it, so Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't see outside.

Opposite Tokugawa Iemitsu is his niece Emperor Meizheng.

Surrounding the two of them were soldiers with live ammunition.

Not long after, Tokugawa Iemitsu and the others were taken to the Dengzhou Yamen.

After the soldiers sent by Hong Chengchou completed the handover in the Dengzhou Yamen, they returned to the fleet and headed towards the country of Wa.

As for the convoy holding Tokugawa Iemitsu, it headed in the direction of Xuanzhen.

In Shandong today, the official roads are basically hardened by cement, so wood-burning cars can drive on them very safely.

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat in the cabin of the wood-burning car and could hardly feel the bumps.

Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't know what kind of wood-burning car he was riding in. He looked curious and wanted to ask very much.

But the soldiers around him all had faces of refusal, so Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't ask.

Emperor Mingzheng could hold back these things, although she was also curious.

After the convoy arrived at the train station in the south of Shanxi, Tokugawa Iemitsu and others changed trains and headed for Xuanzhen.

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat in the train carriage, too restrained to move.

From the moment he got on the train, he didn't move.

Tokugawa Iemitsu has never been on a train, nor has he even heard of it.

When I saw the train before, I almost scared Tokugawa Iemitsu to the ground.

In the eyes of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the train is a steel dragon of unknown length.

He thought the train was a god in the sky, if it wasn't for the soldiers beside him pulling him, he would have knelt down and kowtowed to the train.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked out of the window, the scenery outside the window flew back quickly, Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was full of horror.

"Too fast, too fast, too fast!" Iemitsu Tokugawa yelled with a pale face.

The soldier sitting next to him seemed to have gotten used to his appearance, and didn't react, just looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu quietly.

Tokugawa Iemitsu gasped for breath, his heart seemed to be about to jump out.

"How could it be so fast, how could it be so fast, it's about to fly!" Tokugawa Iemitsu held the table in front of him tightly with both hands.

The people in this carriage are almost all from the Tokugawa family and the emperor's lineage. There are a large number of these people, and most of their reactions are similar to Tokugawa Iemitsu's. There are exclamations in the carriage one after another.

 There is a problem with the input method, the number of chapters is wrong, and it seems that it cannot be changed.I also hope to forgive me! ! !
