Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

epydz (The evening is heavy, Mito feudal lord Tokugawa Tsunajo is restless in Edo Castle Nishinomaru. Nishinomaru is the residence of the general's son. Since the current general Tsunayoshi has no heirs, it is natural for the deputy general to move in There is nothing taboo about it, it's just that Daoyan of Hefu Temple, who is now sent to contact Xia Jun outside the city, will never return, which makes Gangtiao a little uneasy

After using the two dishes offered by the chef in the city (note: the general’s diet has strict regulations, about four dishes and one soup, and the portion is very small, each serving is only enough for two chopsticks), the guidelines for ordering tea without intention After waiting for half an hour, Daoyan still didn't come back." "As a last resort, Gangtiao can only go to rest first."

But I couldn’t sleep well this time. Thinking about the harsh demands that Xia Jun might have made, and thinking about the impact of the general’s escape on the Tokugawa world, Gang Tiao’s resentment towards the unsatisfactory Tsuna Kichi deepened. But after thinking about it, my own The fate is still uncertain. If Edo falls, Tsunayoshi will definitely not take the responsibility by himself. At that time, he will definitely hold the blame on himself. Maybe he will be forced to live in seclusion just like Matsudaira.

It’s okay to live in seclusion, but the pension allowances ranging from thousands of shi to tens of thousands of shi are not affordable for the Mito clan who are so financially distressed that they want to try their best to get rid of the military service payment imposed by the shogunate. Tsunayoshi may not be able to make up for the Mito clan, not to mention that the shogunate itself will be in a difficult situation.

Gangtiao tossed and turned in his mind, unable to fall asleep, finally fell asleep and dreamed vaguely, half dreaming and half awake, Gangtiao seemed to hear someone calling him, he was shocked, opened his eyes immediately, but saw The valet Xiao Xing who was startled looked at him with innocent eyes

Gangtiao, who was not yet sober, gave Xiao surname a hard look, and it was this glance that reminded him why he woke up Gangtiao: "Master, lord, Monk Quan is coming back from outside the city. As you ordered, as long as Monk Quan is coming back, and he will wake you up anytime."

Gang Tiao waved his hand, interrupted the valet's defense, and slowly got up from the bed: "Changing clothes."

The scarlet-eyed Daoyan of Hefu Temple was obviously exhausted. Seeing that Gang Tiao was sitting firmly, he didn't care about etiquette, and reported his itinerary straightforwardly: "I went early before, and Xia Jun, who is in charge of the forward, is the four right guards. The supervisor dragged the monk to persuade the left-behind warriors from all the prefectures to surrender, wasting most of the day."

Maybe it was impossible to explain to Gangtiao what the concept of a third-class captain is, or maybe Daoyan of Hefu Temple himself didn't understand Xia Jun's system, so when introducing Fu Shaolin's identity, he could only use the official title corresponding to Japan, which gave The guidelines are misleading. You must know that among the samurai families in Japan, the right-hand guard is already a national-level daimyo like Mae Tajima Tsuida, and such a high-ranking official is just a mere vanguard. It is conceivable that Huaxia is bound to win this conquest

"Before night, the Xia people drove up to [-] soldiers and horses, and only then did I see the envoy of the Xia people presiding over the peace negotiation." Daoyan didn't know the impact of his words on the outline, and he was still talking to himself, "But the other party didn't The idea of ​​​​resuming the peace agreement immediately, and the other party already knows that the general has left Edo Castle, so he asked us to open the castle."

"Kaicheng?" Gang Tiao frowned, this is his last wish, but the more he is, the more things will happen

"Yes, Kaesong?" Daoyan knew Gangtiao's worries, but he had no choice but to relay the other party's danger to Gangtiao. And it's dangerous, if you don't open the city, the brigade will arrive tomorrow, and they will attack by force."

"Intimidation!" Gang Tiao commented angrily, "It's completely intimidation, Xia Kou is really deceiving people too much." How can water and two thousand troops be conquered by more than ten thousand Xia Kou in a short time?"

"The poor monk also knows that the Xia people are intimidating, but the wavering people of more than a thousand soldiers will not be able to defend Edo City." Daoyan responded with a wry smile, "Please also think twice about the Huangmen Palace, the Xia people only have half a day's time limit." , if you don’t respond before noon, I’m afraid everything will be irreparable.”

The sky was bright again, and Edo Town, which was supposed to be noisy, was as silent as a dead zone at the moment. Occasionally, some domestic dogs and wild dogs were barking, but on the contrary, it reflected the bleakness of the city town even more. Not all townspeople have fled, but at this moment, no matter warriors or civilians, everyone is huddled at home, and only a few courageous ones open the door to peek outside.

Rumbling footsteps sounded, and the peeping townspeople trembled while looking out more carefully. They saw the battle flags in full swing, and groups of Xia troops were marching in the direction of Edo Castle neatly, fighting against the enemy. The weird weapon with long thorns on the shoulder exudes a chilling air, and the artillery team that follows it shows the strength of the winner

"Mito-sama," Matsudaira Jonao, who almost rushed in front of Tsunajo, reported in a stammering tone, "Huangmen Huangmendian, Xia, Xia Kou dragged the big tube up and they are going to bomb Edo Castle."

Tsunade's brain buzzed, and his body was shaky. Yes, he remembers very clearly. 86 years ago, during the Osaka Summer War, it was the ancestor god Tokugawa Ieyasu who used a large tube to threaten Toyotomi Hideyori's mother and son to commit suicide. The unique dominance of the shogunate has been broken, and now the Xia people have given the even more powerful Da
