On the first day of the Ming army's siege, there was no progress, but they had one advantage over the Japanese defending the city: their casualties were also zero.
In today's battle, the people who died from beginning to end were only the 20,000 Japanese civilians.
…
As night fell, Zhang Wuji suddenly remembered something. If the corpses of more than 20,000 Japanese civilians were left there unattended for a long time, they might turn into a plague.
So, Zhang Wuji asked Yang Xiao to lead the soldiers to find thousands of Japanese civilians in the Ming army camp again. Those Japanese civilians dug a big pit not far from their camp and also not far from Tokyo City.
The purpose of digging the pit was obvious, of course, it was to bury the bodies of the Japanese people.
They dug their own holes and buried their own people, and the people buried were all their own people. Zhang Wuji couldn't help but feel refreshed.
…
Looking at Tokyo again, after today's battle ended, he returned to his own palace. Those who came back with him included the little Zhuge Abe Saburo, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet Ichiro Tanaka, etc., as well as many royal relatives of the Hirohito family and other Japanese nobles.
After experiencing today, many of them have understood the meaning of war. Only by letting the culprits of war experience what war is, will they understand the horror and cruelty of war.
"Tell us all, don't be mute in front of me. Tell me, if Zhang Wuji continues to do this tomorrow, what should we do?"
Inside the Amaterasu Palace, hundreds of the Japanese Empire's elites were speechless, and for a moment, the atmosphere was silent.
However, Hirohito Koichi had no intention of letting this group of so-called imperial elites go.
"Hahahaha, interesting, really interesting."
"You guys, you guys always shout your allegiance to the emperor, you always bully men and women and act tyrannically. Now, Japan is at a critical moment of life and death, but you dare not even fart."
As he spoke, Hirohito Hiroichi turned his attention to a figure that did not often appear in the Amaterasu Hall.
"Sixth Uncle, what do you think we should do now?"
The person who is called Sixth Uncle is undoubtedly Hirohito Koichi's sixth uncle, whose name is Hirohito Oda.
Hirohito Oda did not expect that his eldest nephew would throw such a difficult problem to him. You know, he is just a prince who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex in Tokyo.
He came to the Amaterasu Palace today only because he was shocked by the war and subconsciously thought that the place where Hirohito Hiroichi was staying was the safest, so he followed here.
When Hirohito Oda saw Hirohito Koichi's fierce gaze, he knew that his nephew was not joking, so he thought again that he must not lose face for Hirohito's family.
Hirohito Oda walked slowly between the courtiers on both sides and said: "In reply to Your Majesty, he deserves to be beaten."
Hirohito Hiroichi sneered: "Should we fight? Who should we fight and how should we fight?"
Hirohito Oda said: "Of course we should fight the Ming army."
"Now that Japan has no place to retreat, we should learn from the former King of Chu, Xiang Yu, in the Middle-earth world. We should burn our boats and cross the river and drive the Ming army and Zhang Wuji into the sea in one breath."
Hirohito was stunned for a moment: "Oh, my sixth uncle, who has been eating, drinking, whoring and gambling for decades, has actually heard the story of Xiang Yu, the King of Chu."
Hirohito Oda looked embarrassed: "In reply to the Emperor, eating, drinking, gambling and whoring are all folk rumors. They all misunderstand me. As a member of Hirohito's family, how could I possibly eat, drink, gamble and whore? Even if I occasionally do those things, it is just to conserve my energy."
After hearing this shameless answer, Hirohito wished he could skin his sixth uncle to pieces on the spot.
However, Hirohito Hiroichi still suppressed his anger. He turned his gaze to another person: "Uncle Eight, what do you say?"
The person called Eighth Uncle is undoubtedly Hirohito Koichi's eighth uncle.
The eighth uncle's name was Hirohito Onobu.
Hirohito Oshin was smarter than Oda. He knew that Hirohito Koichi must be in a bad mood today, so he became nervous.
"I don't know, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor wants me to say?"
Hirohito smiled and said, "What else can I say? Of course, I'm talking about how to deal with the Ming army and Zhang Wuji. Do you think I'm going to talk about the dozens of wives and concubines you have at home?"
Hirohito Oshin was frightened for a moment. He felt that he should not have come to the Amaterasu Palace today.
Faced with the Emperor's question, Onobu did not dare to refuse to answer, but he did not dare to say the same words as Hirohito and Oda: "We should, we should defend."
Hirohito smiled and said, "Uncle, that's a good idea, but I don't know where we should defend."
Hirohito Nobuyuki said: "Of course we have to defend Tokyo. We will defend it for a year or two. When the Ming army is exhausted, we will drive them back to the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, this time, Hirohito Koichi no longer sneered, but laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha, it's time to defend, it's time to attack, attack first and then defend, defend first and then attack, these are all fucking bullshit."
"You two are my uncles. You have been eating, drinking, gambling, and bullying men and women all your life. You have been drinking the fat of the Japanese people all your life. But now that the time has come and Japan has acted like this, you dare to use these nonsense to fool me."
"Come, take good care of my sixth uncle and eighth uncle, and then go to their house and confiscate all the valuables for me, as well as all the beautiful women in their homes. I will give those things as rewards to the meritorious soldiers."
Hirohito Koichi finally showed his claws. At this point, this is what he really wants to do. Starting with the royal relatives first is enough to show that Hirohito Koichi is really going to be ruthless.
Those two useless guys, Hirohito Oda and Hirohito Onobu, were suppressed by Hirohito Koichi's personal guards while they were stunned.
Afterwards, the Amaterasu Hall became quiet again. Everyone was afraid. They were afraid that the names that Hirohito would call out one by one would be theirs.
When Hirohito saw this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Of course, he knew exactly what these people in the Amaterasu Hall were thinking.
However, two people have been dealt with today, and the things seized from the house search should be enough to reward them for a while, so Hirohito did not plan to continue.
"My dear ministers, the matter of my sixth uncle and eighth uncle is in the past. They were all members of Hirohito's family. Now that Japan is in danger, they should have spent all their family wealth to support the troops. But you now need to think about how to deal with the Ming army. Speak something reliable and humane, and don't be like my sixth uncle and eighth uncle."
