Tokugawa's Datianshou was waving the stern and bright lights in the hall of the Shangluokai Mansion. Dozens of old men in public uniforms, if the Tokugawa retainers were kneeling down, between the two oil lamps, there was a fat young man wearing a beautiful general uniform, and the light was shining with a faint light, but the face, which was covered with a thick layer of powder, showed a sense of fatigue and anger.

This year can be said to be the most glorious moment in Tokugawa Ieki's life. He was not favored by his father Tokugawa Hidetaka since childhood because of his weak body. Even if he finally succeeded to the throne, his abdicated father was still the Dayu Sect, which involved him power, binary politics, and even generals. He, as a general, had to listen to Dayu Sect. Just last year, he finally survived this annoying father. Tokugawa Ieki became a real person in the world. This year is the first year when he ruled alone.

But at this critical moment, Mao Jue hit the bottom of Edo City from Kyushu in one breath, as if a big slap was slapped hard on the young general's face, causing his majesty to be thrown to the ground. No wonder Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was so bad.

Indeed, proposing peace talks was a delaying strategy for the shogunate. Just today, Honda Tadao came back. At this point, the generals' meeting was still debating how to deal with the invasion of the Tang thieves. However, reinforcements arrived, but the opinions of these Japanese bosses had not been unified yet.

"It's time for our army to attack!"

A garlic nose was fluttering red, a short person jumped tall, and her braids combed forward on her head were trembling due to excitement. She was considered Tokugawa Iemitsu's most confidant old man. His teacher Tadaoka Sakai was waving the fan excitedly.

"The troops of the Honda Tada Dynasty have arrived in the suburbs and have gathered 50,000 troops from the pro-vassal period. The Edo samurai also has 30,000, eight times the enemy! What are you still hesitating about?"

"There are still 100,000 troops in the Kyushu crusade team. Matsuhei Nobutsu is known as a famous general, but he has lost to Tang Kou!"

Unfortunately, even though he was so excited, the other old guys were still so careless. From the third-rank Ministry of Revenue Masaoqing, the old middle-aged Masao Inaba, he slowly closed his eyes and said.

"It is not easy for Lord Ieyasu to conquer the world. As a minister, Ieyasu should be guarded by Lord Ieyasu. Now I am in Edo Castle, so I must be foolproof. It is safest to wait for the return of the army of the commander or the Kyushu crusade team to fight the Tang Kou again!"

"Safe? By then, Shinoo, Ueno, Shinoo, and Kakai Musashi will turn into scorched earth! The elite soldiers are waiting for the city and divided the troops to plunder. Now the thief's command is burning, killing and plundering in the core of the shogunate. You are still safe! Are you still warriors?"

The young and strong school Shigetsu Hiroko couldn't help but resist his anger and knelt down from behind, scolding the few people.

"But what if the troops are defeated? If Edo Castle is lost, how big a storm will arise in the Toyotomi family's remnants? Can you afford this responsibility?"

…………

The big and small leaders of the shogunate were still arguing about whether to send troops or not. Tokugawa Iemitsu, who played the arbitrator, was even more irritable. He never looked at the politics on the surface. The radicals and the old-fashioned faction seemed to be arguing about war every word, but in fact the focus of the debate was still around the power of him, the general.

He sent troops early and wiped out Mao Jue in one breath. No matter how tens of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars were fought, it was his Tokugawa family that had regained his dignity. At that time, it would make the world famous and no one dared to obey.

But it would be too late to drag the Hokkaido garrison mixed with many famous legions or the shogunate army heading south to return, and his face as a general would plummet.

Going further, in the past two years, Tokugawa Ieki's main political work has only developed a prototype "Martial Laws" in the revision of Tokugawa Ieyasu, strengthening control over the national vassal daimyo, and implementing a closed-loop lockdown order. There are many of the interests that touch people. Once his authority is weakened, these policies will not be implemented in the future.

Transactions and settlements are all disputes of interests. As for those who were robbed and ravaged by the Li Koreans, they seem less important.

While this end was still arguing, the little surname outside suddenly opened the door and knocked heavily on his head and reported.

"General, Lord Qingshan is back!"

Suddenly, the debate came to an abrupt end, and everyone's attention was all focused on the door. After all, the matter of dealing with Tang Zhe has always been done by Yuki Aoyama, and he has the most say, so it is unrealistic for anyone to bypass him.

Mao Jue had dinner at least, but the old man Qingshan had no time to eat. After the negotiations, he went directly to the Great Imperial Souvenir. Regardless of the dust, he blew and fell to the front of the Imperial Palace.

"I am the minister Aoyama, I will pay homage to His Highness General!"

"What is the result of today's negotiations with Tang Thief?"

After all, Tokugawa Iemitsu could not bear it, so he asked first, instead of waiting for Aoyama Yukizuki to report it himself, but it was harmless. After all, everyone was also involved in this matter. Listening to this urgent article, Aoyama Yukizuki didn't talk nonsense and bowed directly.

"The Tang thieves wanted to make a decision of 500,000 stones and not let go, but the remnants of the Toyotomi family insisted on Osaka Castle."

Speaking of this, the old guy was not depressed at all, but instead showed a gloomy pride and reported in a slight and slight manner.

"The Tang thieves have been completely confused by the shogunate. The generals are waiting for the shogunate's compensation. The military soldiers are in a state of disrespect and the soldiers are scattered. These days, a ghost market has emerged outside the Yoshibashi Gate. It was formed by the Tang thieves buying wine and food from the city and recruiting geisha. When the old minister came to the city today, he saw the samurai coming from the north in a hurry, but Honda Tadao came back. In that case, the general, the shogunate can march!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as this old guy came back, his mouth pressed on his support for the march. Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but show his joy, but the old-fashioned guys on the other side looked unaware of it.

"Mr. Aoyama, aren't you afraid of being impatient and making a rash move and repeating Matsuhira Nobusuo's mistake?"

Inaba Masaka's voice suddenly became high, but before the blame was finished, Aoyama Yukizuru turned his body suddenly and raised his hand to blame him with anger on his face.

"Donald Ieyasu was immortal and unwilling to die! Now the remnants of the Toyotomi family are outside the city, and may threaten the life and death of the Toyotomi family at any time, but you are still hesitating. Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the Toyotomi family? Let the remnants not fight, are you willing to be determined?"

This question was so cruel. At that time, the Toyotomi family was just a woman named Yonei. Seeing that the head of Ishida San had started a war with the head of the martial artists, led by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and he did nothing, he eventually became a dead clan. Even the old minister Inaba Masakatsu stuttered.

However, before he could refute in anger, the noise suddenly started to ring. At the critical moment, Tokugawa Iemitsu waved his sleeves impatiently.

"Go out and see who's making noise?"

The little family members in front of the hall immediately lowered their heads and retreated, hurried out of the door. After a while, they ran back in panic.

"General! The Tang thieves have attacked the city, and the southeast is full of fire!"

"What?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly stood up, and the two old ghosts, Masao Inaba and Yuki Aoyama, turned their heads in disbelief and shouted.

…………

There is nothing impossible. Tigers can hurt others, and people can also beat tigers! But Yuki Aoyama took the upper route to stabilize Mao Jue and other leaders of the Dongjiang Army. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the lower-level soldiers were acting in bee pupa.

Do you think wine is for nothing, cigarettes are for nothing, and money is for nothing?

Taking advantage of the contact with these vendors, I accidentally said that reinforcements came from wherever there were, where there were samurai masters and wherever there were ships, and they were trapped out.

If it were the complete Dongjiang Army, the outer city defense of Edo Castle was simply slack, but now Mao Jue can be considered half-destroyed. The low walls of the Japanese are nothing, but this urgent and fast trenches really made him embarrassed. It was unrealistic to fill the trenches. If you want to break the outer city and have no ships, you have to attack from Yukibashi Gate.

But Mao Jue has lost a lot of money in the battle of Yunmu Mountain. He doesn't want to have any more troops. In the past few days, Qingshan has calmed down and he is also secretly looking for a fighter opportunity. Sure enough, he has found it!

Edo Castle is almost at the estuary of the Sumida River. The reason why the Tsukiji Market behind the Yoshibashi Gate is called the Tsukiji Market is that this area is almost all attacked by the estuary delta. On land, Edo Castle is full of ravines and strong defenses. However, the shogunate, whether it is defensive offensive or military force, is more than a few points. In the past few days, Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingxian have been collecting ships nearby. After dinner in the evening, the lazy Dongjiang Army suddenly attacked like a fierce wolf. The second regiment was the main attack and boarded the Edo Island Teng Island. Under the surprise of the Japanese, they easily captured the other palaces of the shogunate here, and the Muhama Oden of the Buddhist Temple.

When Tokugawa Iemitsu discovered it, Mao Jue had already advanced quickly and seized the Shibaguchi Gate, which was lacking in defense, sent several house bridge gates, and entered Osaka Castle.

Half of the city was illuminated by the war. On the street, the panicked shogunate qinmoto held a knife forward, shouted and asked his subordinates to charge, holding a trembling bamboo spear, retreated from Yukihashi Gate in panting, and groups of samurai ran out of the street, trying to block the pace of the Dongjiang Army's attack.

Seeing this scene, Pang Dahai, who was ordering a house, couldn't help but sneer, and he also pulled out his battle knife. The soldiers in front of him half kneeled on the ground, and the one behind him was holding the gun on their shoulders. Looking at the Oda family's large gun formation that made them suffer a few days ago, no Dongjiang army showed a grin on their faces.

The streets and street fighting were too small, and there was a burst of gunfire. The front row of the Japanese army formation was directly penetrated. The dense guns lie on the ground, and the thick layer of samurai corpses fell directly at the intersection of the street. Before the support of the warriors woke up, they held the bayonets. The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army wildly carried the bayonets and launched a charge.

I'm just better than you, and you'll be done when you get close to me!

In the sound of puff, a slap of twenty samurai was hit by the corner of the wall and stabbed him to death. On the other side, a samurai threw away the spear that was inconvenient without waiting for a panic. Before he could pull out the knife, a bayonet had already stabbed him in his chest, picked him up and threw him out in a scream.

This is the army that Mao Jue wants. He is crazy about fighting and is heading in front. The pony sea looks like a big pirate, with a knife in his right hand, a musket in his left hand, and a close revolver squirting and then slashing. There are no bullets behind him and his personal soldiers handed it to him. He cut half a street, and none of them can withstand such a hooligan style of fighting.

But just as he was dying and laughing wildly, the Japanese warriors who were barely supporting him suddenly became in chaos. In the hurrying horse hooves, sabers with redness in the flames were raised high.

Facing the infantry, these warriors dared to hold on, but when they were rushed by the cavalry, the flag team of thousands of people collapsed directly. They didn't need to swing their bloody swords. As the war horses dragged directly, the iron gunners who were hiding behind the team and had not had time to go on the field were rammed like cutting wheat.

"What the hell are you doing? If you don't hit you, why are you here to make trouble?"

These are all military achievements! Seeing that Liu Xingzuo took action, his military achievements were harvested. Pang Dahai was so angry that he jumped straight behind him, but with his sabre high, Liu Xingzuo shouted proudly at the top of his throat.

"Jiang Ye has an order! Each unit will speed up. After twenty minutes, you must arrive in front of the Forge Bridge. You are right behind. If you don't agree, you tell me how to go!"

As he said that, urging the cavalry, Liu Xingzuo ran forward with a smirk. In the streets not far away, he could hear the roar of the cavalry and the screams of the dying. He turned around suddenly, and Pang Dahai slapped his head sadly.

Under the flames, a big black flag with a wool-shaped lettering was like a white banner that summoned the soul, and was not far from him.
