Daming was over. Daqin was established. Xiao Ruxun established a new dynasty and became the emperor!
Xiao Ruxun, who organized the Korean War and planned to divide Nihon into three parts, had become the emperor!
In any case, this could not be regarded as a good thing for Nihon. Although Daqin must be in chaos now, and Xiao Ruxun must be badly battered, they could tell the difference between a general and an emperor, and they would not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Couldn't they tell the difference between a general and an emperor?
Could the things that a general could do and the things that an emperor could do be the same?
After learning the news, the Toyotomi clan and the Tokugawa Ieyasu withdrew their troops from the Ishikami area almost at the same time, and then carefully continued to inquire for information. Not long after, they received the news that Wu Weizhong had returned by ship.
Although Wu Weizhong had returned, the defense of the Ming Army soldiers in the Ishikami area, especially in the Ginzan mining area, became tighter, as if they were guarding against something.
The Tokugawa clan and the Toyotomi clan were extremely anxious, and they wanted to know what Xiao Ruxun was planning.
As a result, a month later, Wu Weizhong came back. Not only did he come back, but he also came back with 10,000 troops, which increased the number of troops in the Ishikami area to 20,000. They were stronger, and the defense was tighter.
Afterwards, he removed the Bright Flag and replaced it with the Great Qin Flying Dragon War Flag, which had a black background.
The 20,000 Qin Army were guarding the Ishikami mining area. This gesture could not be clearer.
Xiao Ruxun, who had personally created all of this, had never forgotten about Japan. By doing so, he was warning the two major powers of Japan to behave themselves and be careful. Otherwise, it wouldn't be ten thousand troops coming next time, but a hundred thousand subjugation army!
The Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hidetsugu were very frightened. While they were frightened, they also felt a deep sense of frustration.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand how such a huge Great Ming Dynasty, a Great Ming Dynasty that had millions of soldiers, could be defeated by Xiao Ruxun.
How could the Daming court be defeated so badly? So easily defeated?
It was completely unimaginable!
But it was the truth. Soon, Xiao Ruxun sent an envoy to the capital.
On behalf of the emperor of Daqin, Xiao Ruxun, the envoy summoned Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hidetsugu, the two leaders of Nihon, and the so-called puppet emperor. In front of them, he announced that Daqin would inherit all the interests of Daming in the overseas countries and the identity of the suzerain of Daming. He asked them to hand over the seal given by Daming, accept the title of Daqin, and pledge allegiance to Daqin.
In the face of Daqin's strong request, the Tokugawa clan and Toyotomi clan temporarily forgot their hostility and held a meeting. At the meeting, they decided to accept the request of Daqin, let the emperor represent Nihon and pledge allegiance to Daqin, and so on.
In addition, the envoy also asked the emperor of Nihon to accept the title of King of Nihon from Daqin, and not to use the title of Emperor. This request aroused strong opposition from the feudal lords of Nihon. Although Maeda Toshiie and Tokugawa Ieyasu thought that accepting it was better than not accepting it, they were forced to protest due to the opposition of their subordinates.
They said that the emperor of Nihon was a title that existed long before the two countries established relations. It was a tradition of the ancients. Although Daqin was the suzerain, it should not make such an excessive request to Nihon. They also said that the other vassal states were the same. On the surface, they were vassals, but internally, they still called themselves emperors. Why didn't Daqin beg?
The envoy of Daqin responded that Daqin was no longer the Daming. Daming could turn a blind eye to it, but Daqin would not.
Daqin had made the same request to the major vassal states, asking them to learn from Korea. They should respect Daqin sincerely, and they could only call themselves kings, not emperors. Nihon was not the only one.
In order to further deter Nihon, Wu Weizhong decisively ordered a troop to be equipped and dispatched urgently.
The troop was divided into two groups. One group was led by Luo Shangzhi to Nagato State, and the other group was led by Wu Weizhong to Izumo State. The two groups each won a victory.
The latest weapons and tactics of the Qin Army were used for the first time in Nihon, and they achieved great results. More than 10,000 local troops of the Tokugawa clan and the Toyotomi clan fled in panic. The armies of the Toyotomi clan and the Tokugawa clan were uniformly defeated.
More than 1,000 people of the Tokugawa clan army died in battle, the rest fled, and hundreds were captured. More than 1,500 people of the Toyotomi clan died in battle, the rest fled, and a few were captured. The captured captives were beheaded together, and no one was spared.
The Qin Army did not stop there, but began to burn, kill, and loot in Izumo State and Nagato State, committing all kinds of crimes.
More than a dozen villages in Nagato State and Izumo State were burned and looted, and they were basically razed to the ground. The people were either killed or taken as slaves. The losses were very heavy. The daimyo of the Tokugawa clan and the Toyotomi clan and their armies did not dare to resist head-on. All of them retreated.
Not only that, the Qin Army also chopped off the heads of the killed soldiers and cast them as a deterrent. One was left in Nagato State, and the other was left in Izumo State to show off their strength to Nihon.
They also claimed that if Nihon tried to resist the Daqin and did not accept the conditions, they would meet again in Kyoto. At that time, it would not be so simple to solve!
For a time, most of the voices of opposition disappeared. Only a few iron men who wanted to save face or simply did not know how to write the word "death" were still shouting, saying that they wanted the dignity of the country and so on. Of course, no one paid attention to them.
After seven years of no war, it seemed that some people's memory was not very good, so Xiao Ruxun authorized Wu Weizhong. If someone had a bad memory, Xiao Ruxun would help them remember how they were chased from Korea to Nihon by the Ming Army.
There was no need to show mercy. This was a group of uncivilized barbarians who were afraid of power but not virtue. The more you killed and the more you slaughtered, the more they would be afraid, and the more they would not dare to be presumptuous.
Wu Weizhong said that he would obey His Majesty's decree, and then led the army to kill.
After not fighting for a long time, Wu Weizhong felt that his body was rusty. This time, he would personally lead the troops to the battlefield to fight.
The sudden attack of the Qin Army scared Tokugawa Ieyasu and Maeda Toshiie. Especially the situation of defeat made them realize that the combat effectiveness of the Qin Army was not weaker than that of the Ming Army. Instead, it had increased.
They seemed to have wrongly overestimated the growth of their strength, and wrongly underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qin Army.
The people who escaped cried about the powerful firepower and excellent equipment of the Qin Army.
Everyone was wearing armor, and everyone used weapons made of fine steel. The army was neat and orderly, advancing and retreating.
They were suppressed in firearms, and the iron cannons could not beat them. The attack power of the Qin Army's muskets was stronger, and they were better trained.
They also could not beat them with artillery. The range of the Qin Army's artillery was longer, and the gunners were more skilled. They were suppressed.
Finally, they reached the stage of hand-to-hand combat. They waved their long swords and wanted to fight in close combat. As a result, they were defeated by the Qin Army's swords and spears.
Wu Weizhong's deterrence was very effective. He dispatched 5,000 troops, and they completely destroyed the defenses set by Tokugawa Toyotomi in Nagato and Izumo. They also burned and looted many places. They slaughtered and destroyed villages without mercy. Their behavior was very cruel and violent.
