Chapter 475 Japan unconditionally surrenders (please vote!)

...

Emperor Toba very much hoped that Li Cun would show mercy and let Japan go!

But how could Li Cun tolerate Japan's Gyeonggi region dividing the Japanese island into two, making it impossible for the Daqian Dynasty to obtain all the gold and silver on Japan's treasure island? Not to mention, in the future, it would also be blocked by Japan's Gyeonggi region. , it’s inconvenient to do anything.

What's more, as far as Li Cun knows, Japan has mined a large amount of gold and silver over the years, and all of these gold and silver are in the Gyeonggi area. As long as the Qian army can conquer the Gyeonggi area of ​​Japan, the Daqian dynasty will immediately have enough. gold and silver used.

Under such circumstances, if the Daqian Dynasty stopped, it cannot be said that they would have entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed, but it would still be a lot worse, which would inevitably leave Li Cun with regrets.

Also, how could Li Cun not know this simple truth: "If you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows"?

Therefore, all the envoys sent by Emperor Toba were detained by Li Cun. Li Cun used practical actions to tell the soldiers on the front line: "I am determined to win Japan!"

July 23, the 19rd year of Hongwu.

The East China Sea Navy suddenly appeared on the coast of Tosa, Shikoku Island, under the personal command of the East China Sea Navy Commander Seizo.

The Tosa guardian was horrified and concluded that Ganjun would forcefully attack Shikoku Island from Tosa as before.

Tosa Guardian hurriedly dispatched troops to prepare for the battle.

Things turned out to be pretty much what Tosa Shuto had expected.

time.

The East China Sea Navy suddenly launched intensive artillery bombardment at several landing places in the Tosa area.

In addition, the Donghai Navy also launched thousands of small boats, which were filled with soldiers from the South Route Army and the Right Route Army.

——They seem to be preparing to land on the beach again.

During this period, while Japan was retreating steadily, it not only organized a large number of Japanese samurai, monk soldiers, and reserve forces, but also mobilized the country's military and civilians to build fortresses and other defense facilities wherever they could land.

Among these places where you can land is Tosa, Shikoku Island.

Here, the Japanese built a stone barrier more than [-] kilometers long and more than one foot wide, which could not be broken by the largest-caliber red cannon, to prevent the Qian army from landing. The Japanese named it the "Qian bandit defense barrier".

Moreover, war is the easiest way for people to grow.

After the baptism of this brutal war for a month, and after paying the price of countless lives, Japan has begun to adapt to some of the tactics of the Qianjun.

For example, the Japanese have learned to dig holes in the ground to avoid the artillery bombardment.

In addition, it was so difficult to seize the beach and land on the battlefield that veteran Wang Zhen failed to capture Shikoku Island for so many days.

In response to this, Wang Zhen was furious and felt that this was a great shame and humiliation!

Therefore, Wang Zhen is bound to capture Shikoku Island today.

After discussing with Sheng Zheng, Wang Zhen proposed that he would personally command the red cannons on the Donghai Navy today.

To be honest, Sheng Zheng was a little unhappy that Wang Zhen put his hand into the bowl of their navy.

However, it has been a month since the troops on the south route were blocked from moving north. If they can't break through, and if Li Cun issues an imperial edict, senior commanders like them will not be able to escape punishment. The key is that it would be too embarrassing.

Considering this, when Wang Zhen was willing to issue a military order, Sheng Zheng gave Wang Zhen the bombardment rights of the East China Sea Navy.

As soon as the war began, under the command of Wang Zhen, thousands of large-caliber fire-coated cannons of the Donghai Navy launched a blanket attack on Tosa, so that the Japanese did not even dare to show their heads.

At the same time, Wang Zhen sent his son Wang Xun as the vanguard, leading three thousand death squads to brave the artillery fire and land on the beach.

Soon, Wang Xun led the three thousand death squads to successfully land under the cover of artillery fire, and then rushed towards the Japanese positions.

At this time, Wang Zhen ordered the artillery fire to stop.

After hearing the end of the bombardment, the Japanese troops all got out of the holes. When the three thousand death squads led by Wang Xun rushed to the Ganjie defense base, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers drew their samurai swords and rushed forward screaming, fearing life and death, and fought hand-to-hand combat with the Ganjun.

Soon, the two sides were fighting in a stalemate.

At this time, the superiority of Qianjun in weapons could no longer be highlighted. In the end, some Qianjun officers and soldiers fired their own explosive packs or thunderbolts, one for many.

But in front of the Japanese army's human sea tactics, such sacrifices were obviously of little use.

The two sides can only engage in the most primitive fighting.

This is the main reason why Shikoku Island has not been attacked.

Without it.

Taking advantage of the fact that they were fighting on their home field, the Japanese army engaged in a life-or-death human wave tactic, which offset much of the combat power of the Japanese army.

This is similar to the way Fang La and the others defeated the Song Army.

Today, the Japanese army obviously underestimated the determination of Wang Zhen, the commander of this battle.

Seeing this familiar scene, Wang Xun and the others seemed to be outmatched again. Wang Xun did not sound the gong and withdraw his troops as before, or use the tactics of refueling. He continued to send people to seize the beach and land on the beach, following the Japanese rhythm. People were exhausted, but he said with an extremely firm look: "The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road, cover the attack, and fire!"

Following Wang Zhen's order, the artillery of the Donghai Navy, which had little connection with the army of the Daqian Dynasty, almost without any hesitation once again launched a covering attack on the stalemate Qian army and the Japanese army on the shore.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the Qian army on the shore were accidentally injured by artillery fire, or even killed directly, Wang Xun burst into tears. He stared at Wang Xun, who bravely fought the enemy despite artillery fire, as if he was talking to others, and as if He said to himself: "The world only knows that our army is invincible in battles because our army has advanced weapons, but they forget that our officers and soldiers are less afraid of life and death than any enemy."

Wang Xun's words moved everyone present, especially when they saw a cannonball explode not far away from Wang Xun, who was originally killing everyone. When the black smoke passed, Wang Xun's figure disappeared.

At this moment, Wang Zhen made people awe-inspiring.

Wang Zhen's body swayed, then he stabilized his body with a sword, and then continued to direct the battle pretending to be calm.

Seeing this, all the officers and soldiers in the army risked their lives!

You know, even Wang Zhen's only son can be sent to the front line to be bombarded. At this time, anyone who dares to touch Wang Zhen's bad luck will definitely be killed by Wang Zhenli in front of the battle line. I am afraid that the whole family will also be feared by him. The impact of being outnumbered.

——This is the most embarrassing thing in the Daqian Dynasty.

It has to be said that Wang Xun's method of sacrificing his only son, although it makes people's scalp numb, is really effective.

Under Wang Zhen's strategy of not willing to risk death together, the Japanese army in Tosa could no longer withstand the attack of Ganjun.

Before the afternoon passed, the Japanese defense line was completely defeated by Qianjun, who successfully established a bridgehead on the shore.

Then, Qianjun used the small boats they were riding in to build a protective belt, and continued to expand the protective belt. Then more Qianjun officers and soldiers landed, and the protective belt became longer and stronger.

Seeing this, the Tosa guardian ordered the Japanese samurai to fire rockets and burn the protective belt of Ganjun's boat.

However, the Japanese army's reaction was still a little slow - before the protective belt of the boat was burned, tens of thousands of soldiers with sufficient firearms had landed on Shikoku Island. They set up the tiger squatting guns and lined them up. Then, with the cooperation of the red cannons on the Donghai Navy Fleet, they smashed the Japanese attacks one after another.

but--

Although the Gan army has sharp firearms, the Japanese also have strong defenses against the Gan invaders.

Therefore, after Ganjun landed, the two sides still fought a bloody battle similar to a siege.

This battle lasted until dawn, and the Japanese army still defended the Ganji defense base without taking a step back!

It wasn't until Li Xianzhong came after hearing the news that he led [-] elite troops to fight out from behind Wang's troops, completely defeating the Japanese psychological defense line and eventually leading to a complete defeat of the Japanese...

After the war, almost all the Qianjun troops were dispatched to search for Wang Xun's body.

Wang Zhen had given up hope that Wang Xun would survive. He just gave an order to massacre all the Japanese who participated in the resistance, then returned to his Chinese army tent alone, locked himself in it, and howled loudly. cry……

Li Xianzhong did not stop Wang Zhen, who had personally buried his only son in order to defeat the enemy, but quietly took over the command. While dispatching troops to clear out the remaining Japanese troops on Shikoku Island, he personally led the main force to pursue Honshu Island.Yue Yun reached the pass leading from Shikoku Island to Honshu Island before all the troops, even before the defeated Japanese army, and took advantage of the defenders' unpreparedness to break the pass.

Subsequently, the Gan army marched from Shikoku Island to Honshu Island...

Soon, the South Route Army's Right Route Army landed in Hiroshima, and then attacked Nagato and Shufang from behind.

The left and right armies of the Nanlu Ganjun attacked Nagato and Shufang from the front and rear. How could the lock and key of the west gate be unbreakable?

One day later, the door to Honshu Island was completely open to Ganjun...

It is worth mentioning that Wang Xun was so lucky that he did not die under such a violent bombardment. Later, when the soldiers of the Qian army were cleaning the battlefield, they picked up a man whose whole body was injured but still alive from the pile of corpses. Wang Xun, who was still alive, was dug out.

Of course, this was also because several of Wang Xun's soldiers pinned him down and protected his vital parts...

……

When the Japanese nobles in Kyoto learned that Shikoku Island, Shufang, and Nagato had all been conquered by Ganjun, they were all shocked!

Some people suggested that Emperor Toba surrender to the Gan army.

Some people suggested that samurai, monk soldiers and reserve troops from Gyeonggi and Kanto should be transferred to help Kyoto.

There were also secret discussions to capture Emperor Toba and other people who dared to resist the attack of the Dakan Dynasty and offer them to the Dakan Dynasty in order to quell the war.

and many more……

Emperor Toba's political methods were quite ruthless.

After hearing the news, Emperor Toba took action to clear out all those who wanted to capture him and present him to the Daqian Dynasty, and then transferred all samurai, monk soldiers and reserves from the Gyeonggi and Kanto regions to the Kanai (that is, Tokaido Suzuka (later Mie Prefecture), Hokuriku Road Fuwa (later Gifu Prefecture) and Higashiyama Road Aifa (later Fukui Prefecture) to the west of the three passes), then the northern line was guarded according to the three passes, and the southern line was hoarded Heavy troops guard all important roads.

At the same time, Emperor Toba continued to send envoys to discuss with the Dakan Dynasty the issue of paying tribute to the domain.

This time, Emperor Toba did not mention where to cede. He only said that he wanted to keep the Kinki area to rest in his old age.

The Kinki region is in the central and western part of Honshu, Japan, bordering the Chubu region to the east, China to the west, the Seto Inland Sea, Osaka Bay and the Pacific Ocean to the south, and Wakasa Bay and the Sea of ​​Japan to the north, which just cuts Japan off from north to south.

Let me ask, how could Li Cun let the Japanese nobles occupy this important land?

What's more, they still have hundreds of thousands of Japanese samurai, monk soldiers and reservists on hand, which seriously endangers the stability of Japan under the Daqian Dynasty.

Therefore, the fight has reached this level. No matter what tempting conditions Emperor Toba puts forward next, Li Cun will have to destroy Japan in one breath and then completely occupy Japan.

Therefore, in the face of the Japanese's repeated requests for peace, Li Cun refused to answer the question and focused on fighting Japan in a final battle.

Soon after, the North Road army also reached the third pass and made a move to knock on the pass.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but the final decisive battle between the Japanese and Japanese armies turned out to be the legendary Nasuno.

In Nasuno (later around Nasu County, Tochigi Prefecture), on a huge rock, the Gan army and the Japanese army fought three times.

In the first scene, the Nanlu Ganjun just arrived in Nasuno.

At that time, the South Route Army had only more than 5 troops.

At the suggestion of the Nasuno lord Sudō Sakimori Sadanobu, Emperor Toba prepared to take advantage of the Nanlu Ganjun's unsteady footing to defeat the Nanlu Ganjun and gain bargaining chips.

Therefore, Emperor Toba ordered the formation of a crusade army, appointed Miura Suke Yoshiaki, Chiba Suke Tsunein and Kamisosuke Hirotsune as generals, Onmyoji Abe Yasushi became military advisor, and sent an army of 32 Japanese samurai and monk soldiers to conquer that country. Suno.

Although the South Road Gan Army only has more than 5 troops, most of them are horse troops, and there are also many heavy armored cavalry and pure firearms troops.

On the Japanese side, although the main forces dispatched were also the main forces, these main forces had been defeated several times by the South Route Army, and the reserve forces added after that had already greatly reduced their combat effectiveness.

At this point, some people may ask, how many troops does Japan have? At this point, it has almost produced millions of troops, right?

In fact, the total number of samurai warriors in all parts of Japan is only 40 to 65. The reason why there are millions of soldiers is mainly because Emperor Toba gathered monk soldiers and organized various places to recruit men under the age of [-] to serve as reserves. .

Shortly after Buddhism was introduced to Japan in the seventh century (corresponding to the early Tang Dynasty), the Japanese Emperor at that time banned the eating of cows, horses, dogs, apes, and chickens.

After 200 years of repeated emphasis, by the Heian period after the ninth century, Japanese officials and nobles had developed the habit of basically not eating meat.

During the period of Emperor Toba's predecessor, Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Shirakawa felt that not eating meat was not pious enough, so he promulgated a strengthened decree to further prohibit the consumption of fish, shrimp and shellfish, that is, nothing except vegetarian food was allowed. eat!

Compared with Patriarch Baihe, Emperor Wu of Liang who lost his country because of his worship of Buddhism in Chinese history (the emperor who first formulated the commandment that monks should not eat meat) is simply not pious, because Emperor Wu of Liang only asked monks to eat vegetarian food, while Baihe The King of France managed to make all the people vegetarian...

The reason why Emperor Shirakawa is so devout is not only because he believed in Buddhism, but also because Japanese Buddhism gained the status of state religion after the ninth century, and Buddhist temples were everywhere. The temples not only represented a huge economic, political and military power, but also gained In order to achieve absolute dominance, it was precisely with the support of these monasteries that Shirakawa became the supreme ruler of Japan, and he ruled for decades.

After the death of Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Toba inherited all this and also received the support of the temple.

All in all, there are 10,000+ or ​​even more than 20 monk soldiers in Japan in this era.

Moreover, monk soldiers from some sects would attack the monasteries of other sects and loot them, showing no mercy. Therefore, Japanese monk soldiers had actually become no different from armed elements of secular feudal lords.

In addition, Japan in this era has a population of nearly [-] million.

In terms of population alone, Japan ranks among the best in the world.

Therefore, it is normal for the reserve forces in various places to add up to hundreds of thousands.

but--

Although the Japanese army has a large number of troops, the quality of the soldiers is far behind. Not to mention the temporarily recruited reserves, even the monk soldiers have very limited combat power.

The Japanese samurai are a little better, but due to differences in physical fitness, tacit cooperation, equipment, advanced combat techniques, fighting spirit, etc., three Japanese samurai can barely equal a single soldier.

Therefore, although the strength of the troops was less than one-sixth of the Japanese army, Li Xianzhong still decisively fought the Japanese army decisively.

In the end, the 30 Japanese troops were defeated by [-] Gan troops without any suspense.

In this battle, only less than 30 of the [-] Japanese troops escaped. The blood of the Japanese dyed the boulder red. Later, people called this boulder the "Killing Stone."

second round.

Soon, Emperor Toba went out to organize hundreds of thousands of samurai and monk soldiers, and invited eminent monks and masters from all over the country to come to help in the battle.

At this time, reinforcements led by Wang Zhen had arrived, and the number of Gan troops increased to [-].

On the other hand, in Japan, although Japanese samurai, monk soldiers, and reservists came out in full force, the overall strength and fighting will were actually not as good as the previous one.

The result is self-evident, the Qian army defeated the Japanese army again.

By the time of the third game.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of the three passes, the troops from the North Road captured the three passes in one fell swoop and came to join the troops from the South Route.

At this point, the number of Gan troops exceeded [-] for the first time.

Emperor Toba distributed weapons to everyone in the Gyeonggi area who could handle weapons, hoping to fight to the death.

As a result, after a round of artillery bombardment by the Qian army, these people who did not know how to fight immediately turned into birds and beasts, and what followed was a one-sided massacre...

On August 23, the [-]rd year of Hongwu, Emperor Toba announced the unconditional surrender of Japan, and the Japanese royal family and clan were shipped to the Daqian Dynasty...
