Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 631
Now that it's discounted.

In the face of the Black Flag's offensive, the captured daimyo's attitude is much more obedient, especially when the daimyo who accompanied the army in the Black Flag Army acted as a lobbyist to persuade them.

The fighting outside was extremely fierce, and the pro-vassal daimyos of the several fiefdoms captured by Zhu Tianxing around Osaka Castle were also in prison.

In total, he wanted to preserve his fiefdom, and then see if he could preserve the Tokugawa family, which was also to preserve his family as a pro-vassal daimyo.

The prisoner is thinking.

The people outside the prison are also thinking about it.

In the darkness of night, the Black Banner Army began to select sharp soldiers to prepare for the attack on Osaka Castle tomorrow, in order to win in one battle.

At the same time, the clamoring kamikaze and fire in the shogunate army also reached Zhu Youjian, so the Black Banner Army was still preparing the equipment needed for firefighting overnight, and even ordered the destruction of part of the urban area to form a isolation zone, so as to prevent the shogunate army from playing for real.

It's better to destroy only part of it than burn it all out.

Also have to beware of ghosts.

In short, we must try our best to avoid being hit hard by the fire that may ignite at any time.

The memories in Zhu Youjian's mind all show that one must never place one's hopes on the virtues of others, especially the Japanese.

Black Flag is extremely cautious in the face of the fire that has not yet appeared.

The same is true for the shogunate.

When a big fire goes down, it depends on God's will to burn more or less. It is the most ideal state to only burn the enemy, and it is also possible to burn your own people.

Furthermore, the idea of ​​Yu Sui has not yet germinated, and the fierce clamor of setting fire to the city, when it comes to how to attack and who to attack, the generals in the shogunate army, daimyo and their respective samurai retainers are a little taciturn.

The people who fled the city and took refuge in Osaka City below clamored to light the fire for a day. In the end, they were severely suppressed by most of the people who did not want to burn the city, and became street rats.

It's the same as Zhu Youjian's fear that the shogunate would really ignite the fire.

The famous samurai in the shogunate and the Japanese people below were also afraid, so the surrender faction took this opportunity to tear off their last skin.

That night.

People and horses outside the city of Osaka kept coming and going, and there were also many small-scale troops still fighting against each other in the dark.

Zhu Youjian had treated a group of Japanese daimyo preferentially before, and guaranteed the ownership of all the fiefdoms that belonged to the daimyo in exchange for rewards.

One night, the daimyos of the four domains secretly sent letters to surrender the black flag, revealing all the decisions made by the shogunate in the battle of Osaka Castle, and their entanglement over whether to light the fire.

The next day.

600 people from Black Banner Ba Yala attacked Osaka Castle as the forward, and [-] troops were deployed on the front line to fight the shogunate army in all parts of the Osaka Plain.

At the same time, Takaji Todo, the daimyo of the Annotsu domain, the daimyos of the Takayama domain, the daimyos of the Hachiman domain, and the daimyo of the Naegi domain joined forces in the southern part of Osaka city to surrender to the black flag.

Shounobu Sato, located in the north of Osaka Castle, suddenly released news, claiming that the shogunate army was going to burn Osaka Castle, and showed the letters in the hands of many daimyo to the leaders of the various forces of the rebel army under his command.

The letter is naturally false, or half true and false.

But how can truth and falsehood be easily refuted in this battlefield.

The ronin groups were originally concentrated in Osaka and Edo on a large scale, and the backbone of the rebel army was all ronin.

Having lived in Osaka for many years, no matter how they have feelings, they naturally don't let it burn.

"How dare the shogunate burn down Osaka!? We will welcome the emperor to visit Osaka!"

So the rebels who were originally going to support Osaka City turned their backs in an instant outside the city, and went directly to the emperor's line near the city of Kyoto, among which the Tianzhu group was the most enthusiastic.

The scattered shogunate troops encountered along the way were directly overwhelmed.

At noon that day, Emperor Gokomyo of Japan fell into the hands of the rebels.

Emperor Shaoren of Houguang didn't have any old crooked neck tree to hang himself on, and seppuku was also impossible. Seeing a large group of wild warriors and a hundred fanatic Tianzhu groups supporting him, he was mostly bitter and anxious, but a wave of ambition also surged up.

As long as the rebel army is fooled into place, this is also the military power and the martial arts team!

"I already know Zhu Qing's sincere love for the king, but now it is better to quickly go south to support Osaka Castle!"

"Hi!"

It was also the first time in Shao Ren's life that he gave an order to the army that obeyed his orders. With a wave of his fan, the rebel army immediately became active, and the power of faith was immediately manifested. Many generals in the rebel army did not have much objection to the emperor's order for a while.

But Shao Ren experienced this for the first time, and obviously forgot who the real leader of this army is.

Sanada Shounobu, the rebel general, rode a horse and stared at the young emperor's chariot not far away, shaking his head in disappointment after looking at it for a long time.

"There is no trace of a wise monarch."

Of course, ordinary people would be able to tell something from a distance like this, but the Black Banner King is different. He can see extraordinary things at a glance, and there is no comparison between the two.

The last trace of doubt in his heart was dispelled, and looking into the eyes of several samurai around him, Sanada Shouxin said calmly: "We can gather all the trustworthy people, and the ship is ready. Wait until Moriguchi, let Masato lead the troops and take him to the Black Flag King. This great achievement is enough to make us all famous."

After half an hour.

There was sudden turmoil within the rebel army on the march, and a rebel cavalry of only thirty or forty people suddenly rushed to the chariot of Houguang Emperor Shaoren, captured him on the horse, and then rushed to the nearby big river to board a fishing boat that happened to come.

Since the main force of the rebel army was in the front, there were not many troops guarding the emperor, and they were deliberately dispersed by Sanada Mamoru, so the emperor who was brought in during the chaotic battle was lost under their noses.

And the one who led the action was not the rebel general Sato Shouxin.

He was under the command of the warrior leader of another major force in the rebel army.

Sato Shouxin was furious because of this, and directly ignored Osaka Castle, ordering the rebel generals to besiege the army under the samurai leader.

The rebels start a civil war in the north of Osaka Castle.

Inside the shogunate, there were daimyo who raised their troops and turned against the black, and the front was also attacked by the shogunate army. The entire Osaka City was extremely chaotic!

The general of the shogunate army, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who was outside the city and finally regained his spirits, heard the news from all parties, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth while covering his chest.

Whether it was the daimyos in the rear or the daimyos and samurai fighting on the front line, they were all panicked by this sudden turn of events, and they inevitably retreated steadily, and many surrendered.

In the evening of the same day, Osaka Castle was destroyed.

The black flag came to Sakai Castle in the south of Osaka Castle, and it was also the last remaining castle in Osaka.

Nobukatsu Tsuokabe, the defender of Sakai Castle, surrendered to the black flag that night, and the remaining shogunate tried to ignite fires in the unconquered city of Osaka that night, but this led to internal strife.

Masakatsu Honda, the daimyo of the Himeji Nitta Clan, surrendered the black flag.

After the two surrendered, the daimyo and senior warriors who were still in the city either retreated in the dark, or directly surrendered to the black flag.

Black Flag completely took over the city of Osaka the next morning.

Zhu Youjian also summoned Emperor Houguang of Japan at noon.
