When the Ming army was lined up, they immediately launched an attack on the Japanese in the city. Everything was planned. The generals of the Ming Dynasty had simulated today's events countless times on the sand table. They had been waiting for this day.
On the contrary, the Japanese had no prior anticipation for what was happening today, because they put most of their attention on the three city defenses. Even though they had built countless bunkers and forts in the city, they became useless because of a fire in the daytime.
Even Hirohito Hiroichi himself had never thought that he would command tens of thousands of soldiers to compete with the Ming army in the city. What's even more ridiculous is that Hirohito Hiroichi did not have the ability to command tens of thousands of troops in battle. For a general who led troops in battle, commanding 50,000 troops was a dividing line.
Just like Yang Xiao and others, in fact, the talents of these generals and the armies they can command are mostly limited to less than 50,000 people. It is not that they are not brave enough, but that they simply do not have the talent.
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhao Min was the first person who could command large-scale military operations, and Zhang Wuji was the second. As for the Japanese, the deceased Tokugawa Hideyoshi was one. As for the likes of Musashi Hideki and Inoue Takeshi, their talents were only enough to command tens of thousands of people.
Not to mention the bravery of the soldiers, just talking about the talents of the generals, the Japanese are far inferior.
…
After the Ming army began to attack, as the strategic space became larger and larger, there were more and more Ming army soldiers in the city. Unless the Japanese soldiers in the city could suppress the Ming army in one go, otherwise, the subversive nature of this situation would only become more and more obvious.
However, at this moment, a woman with a dusty face and wearing a tattered kimono was watching everything here.
Although the woman was covered in dust and looked disheveled, it was still difficult to conceal her stunning beauty. After all, a beautiful woman would look beautiful even in rags.
That stunning woman was the most beautiful woman in Japan. She was Qianye Kong. She had been tossing and turning in Tokyo for a day and a night. From setting fire to her own bedroom yesterday, she was very tired now. However, with the Ming army entering the city, her heart was relieved a little.
It was not for anything else, but because with the Ming army entering the city, her own safety would be better guaranteed. At this moment, she no longer considered herself a Japanese. She just wanted to survive, and the condition for survival was to make a contribution. The fire in Tokyo City was her contribution. With today's contribution, even Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min could not ignore her existence.
As long as this country wants to continue, it cannot disappoint those who have made contributions, especially a dynasty like the Ming Dynasty, which is a newly rising dynasty. Regardless of gender, it is time for everyone to speak with military merit.
Qianye Kong, who was watching the battle in a secret place, curled up the corner of her mouth into a smile. After all, she was a cruel woman, and a cruel woman could do anything as long as she made up her mind. Just for the fire yesterday, more than tens of thousands of Japanese people died because of her. Based on this, she could not consider herself a Japanese. What's more, Qianye Kong was actually a proud and arrogant person. She felt that the small country of Japan was not worthy of her, and people like her should serve the strong.
Hirohito Hiroichi is not considered a strong man. At this moment, in Qianye Kong's eyes, the only person who can be called a strong man is Zhang Wuji.
That's why Qianye Kong chose the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this may just be her own psychological suggestion. After all, to the people of Japan, her crime is unforgivable. Only by classifying herself in another camp can she feel at ease.
…
The two armies engaged in battle. Although the number of Ming troops in the city was still small, fortunately they already had organized soldiers, and there were still a steady stream of soldiers gathering behind them. This meant that after the battle, although they did not suppress the Japanese in the city, fortunately they were not suppressed by the Japanese. At least on the surface, there was still a stalemate between the two sides, but everyone understood, even Hirohito Hiroichi knew in his heart that this stalemate could not continue. If they could not get rid of this group of Ming troops who entered the city first, then as time went on, their side would become more and more passive.
"Soldiers, the time has come to serve the Great East Japan. What are you waiting for? Muster your courage, charge forward, and crush the Ming army in the city for me."
"We have no way to retreat, soldiers, the emperor is with you."
Hirohito was roaring with all his might. As the emperor, he had never imagined that one day he would be in front of the two armies and personally cheering up his own soldiers.
Saburo Abe, who had already retreated from the third line of defense, said: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has already entered the city. Under the current situation, if we want to turn the tables, we should do something substantial."
Hirohito smiled and said, "Are you talking about rewards like gold and silver, Mr. Abe?"
Saburo Abe nodded quickly: "It is the reward of gold and silver. No matter when and where, things like gold and silver are the most practical. If the soldiers have some gold and silver in their hands, their morale will naturally be higher."
"At this point, the country is on the verge of destruction, and the family is doomed. We must distinguish between the priorities. As long as we can defend Tokyo, there will still be hope of a comeback in the future. Even if there is a lot of gold and silver, we can still plunder it back. If we can't defend Tokyo, no matter how much gold and silver there is, it will all be in the pocket of the Ming army. Instead of waiting for the Ming army to plunder it, it is better for us to reward it now."
After hearing these words, Hirohito smiled again and said: "What Abe said makes sense, but you said it a little late. In fact, I have already arranged people to do the things you just mentioned."
"Otherwise, why would I gather all these noble children here? The purpose of gathering them here is to make it easier when confiscating their properties."
After hearing this, Saburo Abe's eyes widened instantly: "Your Majesty, it turns out that you have thought of this. It is very smart, really smart."
In the face of Saburo Abe's flattery, Hirohito Hiroichi did not care: "Let's get through this first. In fact, I have another idea, but I don't know if it will have any effect when I implement it later."
