Wanli 1592

Chapter 1224
Maeda Toshinaga naturally knew that he had to do this now, but he was not ready physically and psychologically to wear such filthy and lowly clothes.

But the situation is stronger than people, there is the threat of death on the one hand, and the threat of changing clothes on the other, a fool can tell which threat is more terrifying.

So what is there to worry about?

It's just a matter of face, and it's no big deal to lose it once.

If you lose your life, you really lose everything. Is there any comparison between the two?

Absolutely not.

So biting his teeth, Maeda Toshinaga let go of his so-called dignity, changed into dirty clothes with the help of his retainers, and even found ashes from the ground to smear on his face, making himself unkempt, and used this gesture to go Ask Hou Yangcheng and his queen to do this together.

Otherwise everyone will die.

It is very painful for Hou Yangcheng to be reduced to this state, but he is more aware of the fact that the consequences of not doing so will be more painful, so it is better to do it reluctantly.

Hou Yangcheng's queen was the last one to do the job, even though Maeda Toshinaga was so annoyed at that time that he wanted to kill her.

Do you think I'd like to dress like this?
If not for survival, who would? !

The wolf-like Qin army is in the city. If you don't deal with it carefully, what if you are caught and caught?

A group of people changed their clothes in embarrassment, adjusted their lines, and simulated several countermeasures after being discovered by Qin Jun. Anyway, Hou Yangcheng and the queen tried not to speak, and Maeda Toshinaga also tried not to speak. Kneeling on the ground and shivering is fine, and the retainers will deal with the extra words.

If you don't believe it, you can't get along.

Qin Jun should not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Yes, innocent, truly innocent, of course they will not kill indiscriminately, but Xiao Ruxun gave an order not to allow Kyoto and Nara to be destroyed, and all the soldiers in the army know this.

But the point is, are they innocent?

They have no concept of this in their minds.

After Li Rusong led his troops into the city, he ordered the search for important people, and took responsibility for the decision to restore order. At the same time, he sent someone to send a good news to Ma Wei, the coach of this expedition, and told Ma Wei that he had captured the capital and defeated the Japanese kingdom. The capital, in a sense, ended the resistance of the Wa Kingdom.

This is indeed not a lie, in a sense, Li Rusong has indeed ended the resistance of the Wa Kingdom.

But if we can capture the most representative Emperor Goyosei, it will definitely be more meaningful.

Li Rusong also thought in this way.

He ordered to search all over the capital for the traces of Emperor Houyangcheng, and he didn't believe it. Can this person fly away with wings?

…………

It's hard to say. Before Li Rusong set off on the expedition, he had heard that the "Silver Swallowing Beast" department of the Ministry of Military Industry was working on a "hot air balloon".

The ghost knows what these lunatics are doing with the funds of the court.

But Wa country definitely doesn't have this technology, that's for sure, so Li Rusong is even more sure that what he wants is here.

People don’t know each other, and it’s not troublesome. Those things that symbolize status can’t be faked, such as national seals, talismans, edicts, utensils that symbolize imperial power, etc., even if the emperor is fleeing, he will definitely bring those things. It’s a symbol of status. , Li Rusong is very sure of this.

Coupled with the guidance of Blackwater agents who are familiar with the situation in Kyoto, Li Rusong's investigators quickly arrived at the Japanese Imperial Palace and entered it to search for clues.

After entering, Li Ruzhang, who led the team, couldn't help but wonder what was going on here.

This is the palace?
Is this also called the palace?

Not only does it occupy a small area, but also the houses are low and dilapidated. There are not many formal houses that can be seen, but there are some big houses that look like palaces, but the scale is far from being comparable to the Great Qin Palace.

Although he was mentally prepared, Li Ruzhang couldn't help being disappointed by the messy appearance.

"Thought that the Emperor of Laoshizi really has some good place to live. He looks like this, and he still pretends to be the Emperor? The rich people in Daqin may live in a better place than him."

Li Ruzhang pouted, expressing his disdain for the palace.

The accompanying black water spy said: "The general does not know, the emperor of the Japanese country, the emperor they said, actually had no real power hundreds of years ago, and has been controlled by an organization called the shogunate. Puppet, that time should be the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.

I don't know what happened later, the shogunate also lost its authority, and the Wa country began to be in chaos, just like our Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the princes fought chaotically, but the scale was much smaller. When Hideyoshi unified Japan, he took over the highest power and put the emperor in charge.

So although it is said that this person bears the name of an emperor.But in fact, he is just a puppet, and his words don't count, and his life is not good. If we really want to talk about it, then we really don't live as comfortably as our rich man. "

After the blackwater agent explained it in this way, Li Ruzhang probably understood.

"So that's how it is, the power has fallen to the side..."

After that, Li Rusong looked around again: "You said it's all in such a miserable state, why are you bothering? Isn't it good to be a vassal state of Daqin honestly? Isn't it courting death if you insist on angering His Majesty?"

Blackwater Secret Agent didn't know what to say, but it couldn't be said that this was something Xiao Ruxun insisted on. Even if the Wa country bowed its head and surrendered, it couldn't escape the end of being destroyed, right?
Li Ruzhang didn't care about the difficulty, and when the army searched and found that there was no harvest and no one was there, he couldn't help frowning.

"There is no such person, and it's not right. Where will he go? Although this city is not as big as the city of Daqin, it is indeed not small. If you really want to search, you don't know when it will be. You What can be done here?"

Blackwater agent also felt a little embarrassed when asked this question.

"General, my subordinates are incompetent and can't think of a way."

"..."

Li Ruzhang sighed, and ordered several soldiers to stay here not to destroy the buildings, waved his hand, and left with the rest of the army.

Li Ruzhang had no choice but to lead the team away and report all this to Li Rusong, so that Li Rusong would be troubled.

While Li Rusong's side won a complete victory, Ma Wei also led the main force of the Great Qin Army's Eastern Expeditionary Army to advance towards Kyoto, blocking and killing gods and Buddhas along the way.

The power of the Japanese local government is really not strong, especially after losing the organization. It looks weak, weak, weak and incompetent, and cannot cause any obstacles to the Qin army. Few times, 2000 people can be gathered to give the Qin army a little blow, and they are quickly defeated. Qin Jun's counterattack wiped out.

The Qin army advanced steadily in this way, quickly advancing the front line.
