Qiming 1158

Chapter 1660 Who is the person who will be torn apart?
This is a strange book that fell into his hands strangely after going through countless hands.

It is also a strange book that has long been banned by the Ping regime.

Since he got the book three years ago, Minamoto Yoshitsune couldn't put it down, read the whole book many times, and tried to send someone to get the rumored second and third volumes, but failed.

But just from the first volume, he has already seen how a "man of the world" with a broad mind and a long-standing world, started from humble beginnings, destroyed foreign dynasties and re-established the Han dynasty.

The series of truths he expounded, the series of truths in the world that are so true that even the educated Minamoto Yoshitsune broke out in cold sweat, are all the foundations of the Ming Dynasty.

Minamoto Yoshitsune maintains a strong curiosity about such a country that is very different from the world. He doesn't know whether what is said in this book is true or not, and he doesn't know whether the Ming Dynasty is really a new country, so he is curious.

And with the outbreak of this war, he was able to get a glimpse of the leopard, and had a little understanding of the actual state of the Ming country.

Just a little bit, a little bit.

It is the thing that allows Japanese local civilians to overcome all obstacles and sit and eat with soldiers of the Ming army, which has already made the entire Japanese army, including the strongest man, unable to parry.

In "Hong Wu Zheng Lun", Su Yonglin made a judgment, saying that the empires and kingdoms with feudal and slave-like oppressive systems would definitely collapse under the attack of the Ming Dynasty and cease to exist.

Their citizens will automatically pursue the system of the Ming Dynasty, support the system of the Ming Dynasty, and cast aside their former country.

Even if this country is their home country.

Even if it was not the messenger of peace that brought them these things, but the horn of war.

None of this prevents people from automatically pursuing what they want—happiness.

Whoever can give them happiness will win the final victory, and whoever tries to take all the happiness into his own hands and hide it privately will be torn apart by the wrath of the people.

And now, who is the person who will be torn apart?
Minamoto Yoshitsune closed the book in his hand and sighed softly.

That strong premonition came back again.

After the end of Japan, the Ming Dynasty will definitely win the final victory. They will eventually be swept into the dustbin of history, and no one will miss or remember them.

Because they have done nothing for this country and its people.

What they do is to satisfy their own selfish desires, and for this, they will not hesitate to sacrifice everything.

In their eyes, the lives of the people are nothing more than a simple price for gaining power.

These hateful people, who can even pity a dog by their side, have no pity for people of the same race, it is really hateful.

Occasionally, Minamoto Yoshitsune would also germinate such thoughts that made him feel cold sweat.

He believed that the war was over.

But Minamoto Yoritomo didn't believe it, nor did Hojo Shizheng. They tried their best to dispatch troops, organize more troops and food fodder, and prepare to enter the Shinano country, and supported the guardian of the Shinano country and the Ming army to fight. The Shinano country contained the advance of the Ming army.

But before they could act, more bad news arrived.

A part of the Ming army broke through the Ise country and wiped out the Ise country. It is crossing the sea to attack the Owari and Mikawa countries. The guards of the Owari and Mikawa countries are terrified.

On the other hand, there was a Ming army in the northern region that successively defeated the garrison troops of the Wakasa and Echizen kingdoms, annihilating the official forces of the two countries, and the army was advancing towards the Kaga and Hida countries.

The aggressive advance of the Ming army and the overall retreat of the local national defense forces greatly exceeded the expectations of Minamoto Yoritomo and Hojo Shizheng.

They expected that the Ming army was good at fighting, and they also expected the lack of local defense forces, but they did not expect the enemy army to retreat so quickly.

At this time, it was only July 25th, and it was only a dozen days since the last attack by the Ming army. The first line of defense belonging to the East Japan region had collapsed, and the second line of defense was under rapid attack by the Ming army.

The Ming army was advancing so fast that Minamoto Yoritomo's strong will was shaken a little bit, and he doubted whether the resistance led by him would be successful.

Hojo Shizheng didn't have time to worry about this. It took him more than a month to organize an army of less than 3 people. It would take more time to continue to expand the army. In the current situation, it seems that there is no more Time left for him.

The population of Japan at this season is mainly concentrated in the central region with Heian-kyo as the core. The further to the east, the more sparse the population is. A population of 10 is considered normal in a country of rule, and the population of more than 20 is extremely rare.

So in fact, after the Heianjing area was taken by the Ming army, Japan has actually lost the possibility of a protracted war.

Because the population of the entire area under their control is only about 200 million, even if it is a full-scale military mobilization, 20 combat troops will be the peak.

However, it will take at least half a year to a year for the general mobilization of the army, and the speed of the Ming army's attack is calculated according to "days".

For this reason, it was because the logistics could not keep up so fast, so the pace of progress was slowed down a little.

It was difficult for local Japanese civilians who had not received mobilization training to keep up with the soldiers of the Ming army. For the sake of their lives, the front line was forced to slow down the pace of attack so that they could breathe.

Now that the battle has been fought, the situation is actually quite clear.

The Ming army did not send many political cadres to promote the Ming Dynasty among the Japanese civilian population, because they did not have time to gather so many political cadres who could understand the local language.

But some things can be understood without words, and some relationships can be maintained without words.

The pancake offensive replaced the political offensive, forming a fierce offensive against the vast number of farmers in rural Japan and the urban poor.

Starting from Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, and the west of Honshu Island, a large number of local civilians have become an indispensable link in the logistics and transportation team of the Ming army.

What they pursue is nothing more than to have a full meal, eat a solid pancake baked with salted vegetables, eat delicious food, and eat enough salt, then they will be very happy.

On this basis, if they didn't scold and scold them frequently, they would be happier and feel that they are living in heaven, and they have never been so happy in their lives.

Although the task of transporting food and fodder for the Ming army was urgent and the time was tight, the working hours were very long and tiring.

But you can eat three flatbreads a day.

Every meal can fill the stomach.

They used to be happy if they could eat two meals a day, they were extremely happy if they could eat porridge and pickled vegetables, and they were satisfied if they could eat a full stomach.

But now I can eat solid pancakes with salted vegetables, which are food, and there are enough salted vegetables, which are also salty enough. The simple wild vegetable soup also has salt in it, which tastes very good.

This simple marching meal is no different from the delicious food on earth for them.
