In October of the 21st year of Chongzhen, in Kyoto, Japan, the cold wind from Siberia blew, and the temperature suddenly dropped sharply.

The Japanese people who were already struggling on the brink of life and death because of the war could only curl up into a ball and tremble.

However, on the top of Kyoto, a group of Japanese people stood there, laughing loudly to the sky, and they could all be heard far away.

The man in the leader looked about forty or fifty years old, and his temples were covered with white hair, but he was very happy at this time and couldn't stop smiling.

After finally stopping laughing, the man pointed his hand at Kyoto, which was half-destroyed, and said domineeringly: "Who can take Kyoto away? My Tokugawa Imitsu is back!"

That's right, this person is Tokugawa Ieki, the third general of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the former ruler of the former Japan.

"The Majesty!" The man next to him, his half-brother, Boko Masayuki, quickly said respectfully and firmly, "Water is always the Majesty's Japan!"

On the other side of Tokugawa Iemitsu, there was another person, naturally Tokugawa Iemitsu's other important minister, Hiroso. Seeing that they were both happy, they couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

The general personally led the expedition and agreed to the non-separate conditions of Daming, and drew all his troops to attack the Jianlu forces. Now he has finally occupied Kyoto again. No matter what, he should be happy.

Therefore, after waiting for a while, Hirosen Itakura saw that Tokugawa Iemitsu and Masayuki were still in high spirits, he had to remind him: "Master, Aisin Gioro has not been eliminated yet. We must take this opportunity to chase him to the end and cannot give them a chance to breathe."

"Of course!" When Tokugawa Ie-kwang heard this, he replied without hesitation, and then said with hatred: "Turn the wolf into the house, causing our country to fall into such civil strife again. I really regret it. If I don't eat the Jianlu raw, how could I give up!"

If I had not coveted North Korea at the beginning, nor had I listened to the instigation of Jianlu, and sent troops to fight with the Ming army to fight, it would have been like this at all. To be honest, Tokugawa Ie-Kiwa has woken up from my dreams for many times. He often worried that the Tokugawa shogunate would be ruined in his hands.

After hearing this, Hirosect of Itankura immediately suggested: "Master, now a very urgent thing is to restore the palace. At least it must be like so that Emperor Hou Guangming can move in, so that other daimyos know that the Emperor is not someone else, only Emperor Hou Guangming!"

This is a political need. As an old minister, he is certainly aware of this most important point, so he raised it immediately.

When Tokugawa Iemitsu was not just a shogun, he naturally knew that this matter was very important, so he nodded and immediately ordered that the matter would be the responsibility of Hirosomusu Ichikura.

Seeing Hirosumu Onakura hurriedly taking the order and leaving, he glanced at the inside and outside of Kyoto, all of his subordinates were shouting and neighing. Tokugawa Iemitsu was once again proud and energetic. He looked to the south, pointed his hand and said loudly: "Try more hard, drive the Jianli to the south, and let the Ming army clean up them all!"

"Hi!" Bao Ke Zhengzhi agreed immediately, and then said confidently, "Don't worry, now the Jianlu army has no food, and most of them have dispersed. As long as we chase and fight hard, they will not have a chance to breathe, and they will be dead!"

…………

Two days later, in the temporary palace hall, Emperor Mitsuki took the throne back to the throne under the witness of Tokugawa Iemitsu and worshiped the courtiers.

However, this is not worth being happy for Emperor Hou Guangming. At this time, he had already understood that he was just a puppet. Not only that, but his sister Emperor Mingzheng was also.

Therefore, during this familiar ritual that he experienced again, Emperor Guangming seemed a little absent-minded. More often, he looked at the army lined up outside through the uncovered walls of the hall.

Emperor Guangming knew that the troops outside the hall would set out to continue pursuing Aisin Gioro's troops. He just bites dogs, and he didn't care at all. What he cared about was the army outside. If he obeyed his orders, it would be great!

Unfortunately, the army outside obeyed the orders of the person in front of him. Judging from his proud and arrogant look, it was because of the army outside!

He was right. Seeing that the small court of Emperor Gokuming was under his control again, Tokugawa Igami couldn't help but be happy. Seeing that the time was almost done, he pretended to leave, bowed to Emperor Gokuming, and said loudly: "Please wait for your majesty to return soon. I will definitely offer Aisin Gioro and the head of the pseudo-Emperor who is accomplicing the tiger to congratulate you!"

Although he was related to Emperor Mingzheng, he now made it clear that Emperor Mingzheng must die. In his words, he was still firm and undisputed.

Seeing that Tokugawa Iemitsu is so strong, what else can Emperor Hiroshi say?

In fact, Tokugawa Ie-Kiang had turned around and strode out of the hall without waiting for his reply.

As soon as the court officials responded, they ignored the Emperor Mitsumi. They all followed Tokugawa Iemitsu and sent him out of the palace.

Suddenly, only Emperor Gokuming and a few guards were left in the hall, and they seemed particularly lonely. When no one saw it, Emperor Gokuming looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu's back, and his eyes were full of fire.

Outside the hall, countless troops were ready to go, with flags flying, and were very majestic.

As soon as Tokugawa Iegami appeared, all the samurai bowed their heads and bowed, showing their surrender to him.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was still very satisfied with this situation. He strode to his war horse, turned over the horse quickly, and took the reins to prepare to start. However, before that, he turned his head and looked behind him. Seeing that Emperor Guangming had also come out, he nodded slightly to him with a flattering smile, and felt proud again.

Looking back, Tokugawa Iemitsu raised the whip in his hand and was about to point forward and ordered the army to set off, he saw a messenger with the banner of 800 miles of rapid growth in front of him. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and the order to get out of his throat could not come out.

Seeing him like this, when he heard the rushing sound of horse hooves, everyone's eyes turned to the messenger.

In this chaos, 800 miles of rushing in 800 miles is definitely not a good thing!

Sure enough, the messenger stopped dozens of steps in front of Tokugawa Iegami, and fell off his horse. He stumbled to a few feet away from Tokugawa Iegami, and knelt down a few feet away. He reported in panic: "The Lord is not good, Edo is falling..."

When he heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue slashing on Tokugawa Igami's forehead. He shouted sternly: "How is it possible? How can Edo fall? Haven't it been agreed? And there are troops who are guarding against them not keeping the alliance. How can Edo say that he is lost and fall?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu was not a naive child. Although he had made a covenant with several daimyos in the north so that he could mobilize troops south to conquer Hauge's troops. However, he was somewhat prepared and had troops to arrange dangerous places in the north. Even if daimyos wanted to tear the covenant and sneak attack him behind, he could give him enough time to react.

Therefore, when he heard the fall of Edo, he was the first to disbelieve it. Of course, this also has something to do with his inability to accept that the fall of Edo will fall.

The people around him also heard a loud bang, and it felt incredible. Edo is the base camp of the Tokugawa Shogunate. How could it be that the old nest that has been running for many years suddenly fallen?

The messenger's words were interrupted, and as he spoke, he was covered up by the "buzzing" discussion. He suddenly became anxious, and he didn't even bother to wipe his sweat. He immediately shouted: "It was the Ming army, the Ming army captured Edo, and the Ming army from the sea captured Edo!"

He shouted in a straight voice, either the voice was indeed high, or the word Ming Jun was too sensitive, and suddenly, he was shocked to the point where he was "buzzing" just now, like a vegetable market, and suddenly became silent.

Now, the most recognized power in Japan is definitely the Ming army. However, before, the Ming army had been huddled in the south and there was no movement. Even after the sneak attack on Kyoto, it was because Haoge took the initiative to attack the Ming army.

Therefore, before that, all the Japanese, of course, did not refer to ordinary Japanese people, automatically filtered out the Ming army. They thought that after winning the world, they would contact the Ming army. At that time, it would not matter how much they beg their grandfather to sue their grandmother, they just wanted the Ming army to let go.

"Ming Army, Ming Army..." Tokugawa Iemitsu sat on the horse's back, his face looked very ugly, and he murmured to himself and repeated it.

If the Ming army captured Edo, to be honest, even if he didn't want to believe it, this would definitely be true. With Edo's military defense, if other daimyos bypassed the defensive line he arranged to attack Edo, it would be dangerous to fall, not to mention that with the strength of the Ming army, Edo was raided from the sea, eight out of ten, Edo was really falling!

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was just in full swing, had no commander of the three armies at all. The real man behind the emperor looked a little confused and even more desperate.

"What to do? What to do..."

In fact, let alone Tokugawa Iehiro, everyone else, including Masao Boko and other samurai, didn't know what to do.

Go back to the aid quickly, can you beat the Ming army?

If you don’t return to the aid, your old nest will be gone. How about your family? Are you all your property gone? If your morale is unstable, problems may arise!

However, there was only one person in this square, and he was not affected much by this news, and he was even a little gloating. This person was Emperor Hou Guangming.

You, the traitor of Japan, deserves it!

At this time, Tokugawa Iehiko looked at the oldest Hirosomus of Itakura and asked in a panic: "What should we do, what should we do now?"

Ichikura Shigesen didn't know what to do. Just when he didn't know how to answer, the messenger said again.
Chapter completed!
