If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 371 The War Is Over
It took the Ming army several days to completely restore order in Kyoto, but the burned houses were not so easy to restore.

When the city was broken before, although the Ming army entered the city very quickly, Meng Qinglin even directly caused heavy rain to extinguish the fire in the city to prevent the fire from spreading and destroying all life.

However, too many buildings in the city were still burned down, and almost half of the civilian areas were affected by the fire, causing a large number of ordinary people to be displaced.

After all, due to the frequent earthquakes in Japan, most of the houses are made of wood. In addition, the terrain of Kyoto is not wide. Hundreds of years of accumulation have caused the houses to be very close together.

When a fire breaks out, it often burns down entire camps and even half a city.

Even with all the measures taken by the Ming army, fire and water were ruthless. After a siege, the people who suffered the most were ordinary people.

However, this is considered light. If the Ming army adopted a forceful attack, these ordinary people in Kyoto would not only lose their houses, but also their lives.

But this cannot be said to be commonplace for the people of Kyoto, but it is not surprising.

The war between the Ming Dynasty and Japan has lasted for more than two years. During these two years, the war has not stopped, and it has spread almost throughout the entire territory of Japan.

The Kyushu Island where Zhu Zhanchen is located is not bad because the war ended soon, but the situation on Honshu Island has not calmed down in the past two years.

In the area where the Ming army and the shogunate army fought the most fiercely, it can be described as a loss of lives.

Any Japanese who could escape were trying to avoid the war as much as possible, and Kyoto, as the core of the shogunate's rule, was undoubtedly the first choice for many people to take refuge.

This has led to the influx of many refugees in Kyoto in the past two years, and most of them are concentrated in civilian areas, making shelter by pulling out a few wooden boards to build shacks.

When a fire breaks out, the homes of these people are the first to be destroyed.

But this time, they faced the burning home and did not run away again.

Because they know that this war is over.

Kyoto is already the last city controlled by the shogunate. In the past month, other cities controlled by the shogunate have been destroyed by the Qingyu Guards. Except for Kyoto, all other cities have fallen.

When Kyoto, the last stronghold of the shogunate, also fell, the shogunate army no longer had any strongholds or fortresses that could be used to resist the Ming army's attack.

So, the war is over, and they can finally let go of their worries.

The war has been going on for more than two years, and most of those outrageous rumors have been debunked. Those fooling people, such as the Ming army will massacre the city, kill everyone, and will die if they don't resist, obviously can no longer deceive people.

For these civilians, most of them were willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty if they could live a peaceful life by surrendering.

After all, it was the noble Ming Dynasty, a kingdom in heaven, not a small foreign country like Japan.

It is said that it is the honor of a small country to be the dog of Ming Dynasty, but it is nothing more than that.

In fact, for Zhu Zhancheng, these bastards of the Japanese country really had nothing to worry about.

The Japanese country is a poor place to begin with. Even if you crush these little people in a stone mill and squeeze them in an oil press, you won't be able to squeeze out two ounces of oil.

As for gold and silver, the Japanese country mined gold and silver deposits on a large scale. It was not until they learned the smelting technology from North Korea that they had the ability to mine gold and silver deposits.For the current Japanese country, although most of the gold and silver mines are easy to mine, the Japanese country does not have the smelting technology.

If it weren't for the existence of a divine race in the Japanese country that was not in line with its national strength, this small country would have been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty long ago.

Just like Jiaozhi, when the Ming Dynasty dispatched two armies to attack from the front and back, the local rebels and rebel parties have been basically wiped out. Some stubborn leaders fled to neighboring countries and were even tied up and sent away by neighboring countries. Arrive in front of Ming Dynasty's army.

For a small country, being noticed by the Ming Dynasty, especially by the Ming Dynasty's army, is an out-and-out ghost story.

What a joke, Ming Dynasty did not destroy these small neighboring countries, just because the money spent to destroy them was disproportionate to the harvest, not because Ming Dynasty did not have the ability.

In this case, the Ming Dynasty may not really destroy a small country, but it is really possible for the Ming Dynasty to break its capital and replace it with a more obedient king.

And this doesn't even need to alarm the Ming court, the border officials can handle these matters themselves.

They don't need to do it themselves, they just need to provide some support to these small countries, and someone will naturally get things done.

Just like the Cochin rebellion, are the rebel leaders who fled to neighboring countries really that stupid? Did they not know that they would be caught by people from neighboring countries and sent to the Ming Dynasty?

They know, but they have no choice.

Because they have no way to escape.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty has already caused a dimensionality-reducing blow to the surrounding small countries. Even just a few words of verbal support from the feudal officials are enough to set off a wave of trouble in the surrounding small countries, and even cause political instability in these vassal countries and change of dynasties.

For a small country, it is an honor to be Ming Dynasty's dog and it is not an exaggeration.

In a sense, being a dog for Ming Dynasty also requires qualifications. Not everyone is qualified to be a dog for Ming Dynasty. Without a certain identity and status, even if you want to be a dog for Ming Dynasty, you will not be able to be a dog for Ming Dynasty.

Some people don't understand the formality and want to show their teeth at Ming Dynasty. Naturally, there are also people who are willing to rush to do things for Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps in the past, the Ming Dynasty could not quickly put down the rebellion, and it gave these people some illusions, thinking that the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than that. If Jiaozhi could rebel, then they could also bite off a piece of meat from the Ming Dynasty.

But with the smooth progress of the Ming Dynasty's counterinsurgency, especially when there was already a huge army to counter the rebellion in Yunnan, it was really scary that the Ming Dynasty could send another large army to counter the rebellion from the other side.

After all, for these small neighboring countries, mobilizing tens of thousands of troops is already a militancy. If you expect them to be able to mobilize 10,000+ troops like the Ming Dynasty, it is simply a fantasy.

Neither their population nor their economy is sufficient for these small countries to support such a large army.

But for the Ming Dynasty, especially for the current Ming Dynasty, there is no threat from the northern grasslands, and there is gold and silver from the Japanese country to support the finances. I dare not say that there will be more, and the 10,000+ army can still be dispatched at will.

Facing the 10,000+ Ming troops blocking the doorstep, these small neighboring countries knew what to do as long as their brains were not broken.

Therefore, while Zhu Zhanqun solved the Japanese shogunate army, Zhu Zhanji also solved the rebellion in Jiaozhi, and even dealt with Zhu Gaoxu's abuse of the local area reported by the Mu family.
