Sakura glanced at Qianye and said, "Master, my brain is not very useful. In front of you, I always say what I think. If you already have any plans, just give me orders. Sakura will still be the same as before. No matter what your order is, I will carry it out without hesitation."
Chiba also glanced at Sakura; "You have been with me since you were a child. Over the years, you have been my close follower, so I don't want to hide anything from you."
"When I was in front of Zhang Wuji, I had already agreed to surrender."
Sakura smiled and said, "This is normal. People always have to consider staying alive first. I haven't said the word surrender during this period, but that's just because no one pays attention to me."
"No matter what the Pavilion Master thinks, no matter whether he surrenders truly or pretends to surrender, in short, we should first find a way to escape and return to our own territory. This is the right choice."
Qianye nodded with relief; "That's okay, you are worthy of being my man, and you are not pedantic."
"Let's go back to Tokyo first, to Hirohito Hiroichi, and then watch the rise and fall of the two countries' national fortunes. If Japan can withstand the offensive of the Ming army, then I will still be the Queen of Japan and the Master of the Sakura Pavilion, but if it can't, then you and I will be a different matter."
…
On this day, everything was going on in an orderly manner. The generals of the Ming army swept across all directions, trying to control more areas before most of the Japanese army could react. Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min led the army to retreat, while Gong Yu led the fleet back after replenishing some fresh water. After all, her time was the most precious. She needed to transport more troops to Japan as soon as possible, so that her man could decide the outcome with the Japanese as soon as possible.
…
Seven days later, late at night, in the Imperial Palace of Japan, inside Hirohito Hiroichi's bedroom.
Hirohito has been feeling too depressed recently, so he needs to vent, which is why he is still busy.
The lingering sounds that came one after another were spreading outward from the small room. However, at this moment, an old Japanese eunuch came to Hirohito's pleasure room in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened."
Hirohito gasped and said, "Not good? How bad could it be? Could it be that the Ming army fought back so quickly?"
The old eunuch at the door hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Hirohito in the room was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
The old eunuch replied: "The Ming army really attacked. Seven days ago, the Ming army had landed in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Yamaguchi Prefecture defender Sakamoto Taro fought a fierce battle with them, but was finally forced to withdraw due to being outnumbered. His son Sakamoto Jiro was extremely brave. He fought his way in and out of the enemy town seven times. After obtaining the heads of many Ming army generals, he unfortunately died on the battlefield."
…
Everything at the moment was conveyed by Taro Sakamoto through express delivery. Of course, just like he had said to his son before, when it is time to brag, he would naturally brag. Considering that his son had died in the battle, he even made a scene of going in and out seven times.
Of course, in fact, Hirohito Hiroichi didn't listen to what was said later at all. What about being forced to withdraw due to being outnumbered, and what about going in and out seven times to take the head of the general, were all nonsense. Hirohito Hiroichi chose to ignore all that nonsense.
In the room, Hirohito stopped his movements. After a moment, he increased the frequency and ordered the old eunuch outside: "Go and pass the order to all civil and military officials to gather in the Amaterasu Hall immediately."
…
About a quarter of an hour later, inside the residence of the Japanese Army Marshal, Inoue Takeshi.
In fact, it is not only Hirohito Hiroichi who has been upset recently. Inoue Yu is also under a lot of pressure. He has been worried that Zhang Wuji will attack him, and has been thinking about where Zhang Wuji will attack from. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, and gradually he suffered from insomnia.
How could he get through this long night? He could only use the old methods.
A beautiful and lingering sound came from the room where he was. However, at this moment, Inoue Yu's servant came to report: "Master, it's bad. There is news from the palace. The Emperor asked you to go to the Amaterasu Palace immediately for a meeting."
Inoue Yu's movements came to an abrupt halt.
"I was summoned to the palace in the middle of the night. Could it be that something big has happened? Could it be that Zhang Wuji has fought back so quickly?"
Inoue Yu didn't care that the current matter was only half done, and rushed to the Amaterasu Palace in a hurry.
…
Another quarter of an hour later, when Inoue Yu arrived at the Amaterasu Palace, he found that everyone had already gathered there.
Inoue Yu quickly stood in his own position.
Hirohito said: "Grand Marshal, I hope I didn't disturb your good deeds by calling you here so late."
Inoue Yuyan said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any good intentions. I am just planning for the great kingdom of Japan."
Hirohito felt a headache upon hearing this. He wanted to ask, "You recently abducted the women from Yamamoto Neiji's family and brought them to your residence. Do you really think I don't know?" But then he thought, in the vast Japan, the only person he could rely on now was this Army Marshal.
Hirohito Hiroichi calmed himself down and said, "Mr. Inoue, I won't say anything more. The Ming army has already landed in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and this happened seven days ago."
After Hirohito Hiroichi finished speaking, the Japanese court was in an uproar. Although they had known for a long time that Zhang Wuji would definitely attack, they still couldn't help but be shocked when he actually attacked.
"So fast, why did Zhang Wuji reply so quickly..."
Everyone thought that Zhang Wuji was too fast. Many of them even agreed that it would take at least two months for Zhang Wuji to lead his troops to fight. Unfortunately, they underestimated Zhang Wuji's speed. From the previous decisive battle at sea to now, it was less than forty days, and Zhang Wuji had already led his troops to land in Yamaguchi County.
Hirohito felt helpless when he saw his ministers in such a panic, but things had come to this point, what else could he do? He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
"Stop arguing, Inoue, what do you think we should do?"
Inoue Yu didn't want to talk much now, but Hirohito Koichi had already called his name, so he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore.
"Your Majesty, that, that..."
Hirohito frowned and said: "It's already this time, why are you talking about this and that? Just say whatever you want to say."
