Chapter 1680 The Empire Declares War
It is foreseeable that the Japanese will eventually act against the interests of the empire.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

This sentence also applies to Japanese people.

The strategy adopted by the empire in Japan is extreme oppression.

At the beginning, the intensity was relatively slight, and then gradually increased, and now it finally came to the moment when the Dongying people broke out.

The Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo had exhausted all their resources because of the war. Although they knew that offending the empire would end badly, what they had to face was the immediate predicament.

If you can't even get over the difficulties in front of you, how can you talk about the future?

And this is exactly what the empire wanted.

If the Japanese don't do anything, how can there be an excuse for the empire to send troops?
The news of the murder of the imperial businessman in Edo has not yet been sent out, and the incident in Osaka is in full swing.

The looting of the daimyo army was jointly defeated by the Osaka people, and only a few remnants of the defeated generals escaped.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Following the daimyo army, the shogunate army also rushed over.

Hearing that Osaka was plundered by daimyo's army, Toshikatsu Doi keenly felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He immediately moved forward, trying to enter Osaka, but was stopped on the periphery.

Doi Toshi has good reasons for winning.

"Osaka is the top priority and cannot be lost. Our army must enter the city to protect everyone's safety."

The people of Osaka would definitely not be polite to him, especially since they had just won a battle and their morale was high.

"Osaka's affairs, we Osaka people will deal with them on our own. Whether it's foreign daimyo or the Tokugawa shogunate, none of them are allowed to enter."

"idiot!"

Doi Toshikatsu was angry on the surface, but in fact he was ecstatic inside.

He thought he had finally found a reason.

Although Osaka is in a neutral zone, legally, it is the territory of Japan after all.The entry of the Tokugawa shogunate was completely legal and compliant.

Now the obstruction of the Osaka people can be regarded as a rebellion.

So the shogunate army also launched an attack on Osaka.

The purpose, in fact, is the same as that of the daimyo army, it is all for looting.

The resources of the Tokugawa shogunate have also been exhausted. Doi Toshikatsu led his army to chase here, and it has reached the point where the fuel is exhausted, and it is urgent to obtain supplies.

And as long as there are supplies, he has the confidence to continue chasing, and the battle will decide the world.

As for offending the empire because of this...

As long as the foreign daimyos are wiped out and Japan is reunified, there is always a way to deal with it.

Even if the time comes to bear all the guilt alone, it will be an eternal merit for the Tokugawa shogunate.

He didn't know at this time that the imperial businessman was killed in Edo, and he couldn't bear everything.

It's a pity that the attack of the shogunate army was not better than that of the daimyo army.

If the order was reversed, it was the shogunate army that first attacked Osaka, and perhaps they had captured this fat land.

But it is a pity that it was the daimyo's army, which was seriously understrength, who acted first, which gave the people of Osaka time to react.

Through a united battle, the Osaka people not only defeated the daimyo army, but also got tempered, and their spirits also improved.

At the same time, because the communication between Osaka and the Empire is the most active, the weapons obtained are also the most.Therefore, when the shogunate army attacked, Osaka had not yet disarmed.

When the shogunate army attacked, they were attacked by countless muskets and artillery, and the damage was extremely heavy.Not only did it fail to break into the city, but was pushed out by the people of Osaka on the contrary.

This time, even the most hesitant Osakans understood that there was only one way out for them.

Under the organization of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, all Osaka people reached an agreement and signed blood letters one after another, announcing their submission to the empire.

The impact of this incident is unparalleled.

The news spread quickly in the Dongying Islands, and those people who were harmed by the Tokugawa shogunate and foreign daimyo suddenly saw hope.

All of a sudden, greater turmoil occurred all over Japan.Without exception, every uprising force declared submission to the empire.

The news of Edo and Osaka finally reached Shen Tingyang.

Shen Tingyang didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even need to meet with the officials of Dongpu for any questioning, but directly reported it to the center and Dongdu State Affairs.

Everyone in the empire understands that there is no other solution except war when things have progressed to this point.

The empire has waited for this day, and it has waited too long.

When the center received the news, the bosses were gathering at Huang Zongxi's home.

After many years of marriage, Huang Zongxi and Wang Xiuqin finally had a crystallization.A big fat boy was hugged by everyone, and they were all surprised.

"This child was born with extraordinary wealth, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future. In my opinion, he should be called Huang Feihong."

Zuo Menggeng did his part and undertook the job of naming the child.

But for some reason, Huang Zongxi always felt that this guy seemed to be suffering from cramps again.

"The name has no other meaning?"

Zuo Menggeng shook his head like a rattle.

"Just say it's okay?"

"Huang Feihong... Huang Feihong..."

Huang Zongxi tasted it for a long time, but he couldn't find anything unusual.

"Your Majesty is really good at choosing a name. It seems that there will be an endless stream of people who will come to ask His Majesty for a name in the future."

Others also only admired.

So the name of Huang Zongxi's precious son was decided.

Only when others were not paying attention, Zuo Menggeng showed a satisfied smile and hummed softly at the same time.

"Facing thousands of waves with arrogance, blood is like the red sun..."

Standing aside, Xu Ruolin couldn't help giving him a blank look when she felt something.

Others are getting older and more stable, but my husband is becoming more and more like a naughty boy.

"Your Majesty, Dongpu urgently reports."

Long Zuguang's voice broke the laughter and immediately made everyone serious.

"It's time for the things in Japan to come to an end. From now on, there will be no threat to the east of the empire."

At the joint meeting, Zuo Menggeng was firm.

No one objected to this.

The planning of Dongying has lasted for more than ten years, and it is a matter of course that it has come to this point.

Among other things, Busan, Jeju Island, Ryukyu, including Shimabara, all the materials prepared in various places are piled up like mountains, just to wait for this day.

With the development of the empire today, Zuo Menggeng's heart has long been dull under the powerful strength.Be calm about anything.

Only when it came to Dongpu, his heart surged violently.

I believe this is not only him, but what every Chinese dream of doing.

"I will personally command the battle of Dongpu."

Hearing that His Majesty personally made a move, everyone present couldn't help cheering up.

Zuo Menggeng was not only the founding emperor of the empire, but also the founder of the national defense force, the invincible god of war.

Everyone must do their best to keep his myth going.

Chen Zhi is his best partner.

"Declare war on Japan!"
