Vol 2 Chapter 2334: Slaughter the Japanese Order

 Chapter 2334: Slaughter of the Japanese Order

 Chapter 2330: Slaughter of the Japanese Order

Two consecutive pursuit failures also made Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo aware of the gap in war-making technology between the two countries.

 In the case of being unable to catch up with the Qin army, unless the Qin army takes the initiative to fight, otherwise, with the speed of the Japanese navy, they can only follow the Qin army and blow the sea breeze.

 The faces of the great names of various countries who realized this became extremely ugly. They gathered 70,000 naval troops and ambitiously wanted to defeat the Qin army, but they never expected that this would be such a situation.

 Late night.

“Report...report to the leader of the alliance that the Qin army has gone to the Five Islands again.”

"What?"

After hearing the news, Oda Nobunaga summoned all the daimyo overnight to discuss how to respond.

After Dayou Zonglin learned about it, he screamed in surprise because Da Qin was attacking their territory again.

Goto is an archipelago in western Kyushu, not far from Tsushima Island, with a total population of three to four thousand.

Great Qin slaughtered all Tsushima Islands, but spared the Goto Islands. Otomo Zonglin thought that Great Qin didn’t know the location of the Goto Islands, but he didn’t expect that he would be targeted in the end.

  Great Qin has set its sights on the islands near Kyushu for the third time. This is the rhythm to massacre all the Japanese people on the islands affiliated with Kyushu.

Now not only Otomo Sorin, but also Mouri Takamoto and Shimazu Yoshihisa also regretted not moving the people on the islands outside Kyushu at the first time.

But the key point is that the Qin army came so fast. They were extremely reluctant to even dispatch troops and generals. They were almost crazy busy these days, so they still had to worry about relocating the people.

What's more, even if he really wants to move, it will take time to move people, and there is no time to move in such a short period of time.

Otomo Sorin looked to Oda Nobunaga and the other two deputy leaders as if asking for help, hoping that they could help.

Takeda Shingen said with a cold face: "So what if I go? I just went to collect the corpse."

"you…"

Otomo Sorin glared at Takeda Shingen and said: "Sir Takeda, don't forget that Kyushu suffered this disaster because you robbed the Central Plains. We are now taking the blame for your mistakes."

When Takeda Shingen heard this, his face instantly darkened. Although he also knew that they were responsible for this catastrophe, knowing it was one thing, and admitting his mistake was another. He, Takeda Shingen, is the kind of person who acknowledges his mistakes and corrects them, but he absolutely does not People who admit their mistakes.

Takeda Shingen just wanted to refute and scold Otomo Sorin, but was stopped by Oda Nobunaga.

 “That’s enough, the enemy is at hand, please stop this meaningless quarrel.”

Oda Nobunaga now dare not say that he defeated the Qin army. After all, if the Qin army did not take the initiative to fight, they would not even be able to catch up. It would be good if they could wear down the Qin army's logistics through a protracted battle and force the Qin army to retreat. .

“The alliance leader has decided to send troops to rescue the five islands.” Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice.

Takeda Shingen looked ugly and said: "But this is meaningless."

"Even if it is destined to be useless, the Five Islands must be saved. If the Qin army is allowed to massacre our compatriots, how will the soldiers treat us?" Oda Nobunaga said seriously.

Takeda Shingen couldn't help but was startled. He immediately realized the intention and opened his mouth, but in the end he did not object.

Oda Nobunaga went on an expedition again, but it was still the same as the previous two times. When they arrived, the Qin army just fled by boat, leaving only innocent corpses everywhere.

　　　After seeing this scene, Otomo Zonglin felt dizzy.

 Tsushima, Iki, and Goto were all the territory of the Otomo family, but they were all massacred by Da Qin, with the number of casualties reaching 13,000 or 4,000.

Such casualties may not be a big deal to the Tian family, which has a total population of three million, but it is already a considerable loss to the Dayou family, which only has more than 40 people.

After Tachibana Michizuki saw this tragic situation, his eyes were full of sadness, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "Damn Great Qin, every grievance has its own debtor, and you have to take revenge on whoever kills the Han people. Why do you want to kill my Otomo family?" Innocent people.”

As soon as these words came out, Takeda Shingen and many others looked at Tachibana Michyuki, and their eyes suddenly became dangerous.

After Takeda Shingen winked at his men, Takeda Nobushige put his hand on the handle of the sword and scolded loudly: "Are you criticizing the mulberry tree?"

Tachibana Michiyuki was completely angry and said coldly: "So what?"

"you…"

"enough."

Oda Nobunaga roared angrily, and then said: "Bury the dead people on the spot. In addition, immediately write a message to report the indiscriminate massacre of Ma Kingdom, Iki Kingdom, and Goto Island by Da Qin as soon as possible. The whole country, let the people of the whole country know the atrocities of Da Qin."

After everyone looked at each other, they all nodded in agreement. After all, if the Qin army continues to refuse to fight, then this battle may be protracted. If the hatred of the people across the country against Qin can be aroused, it will be easier for them to recruit troops and collect food next time. .

Although Japan has been learning from the advanced civilization of the Central Plains, it is obviously not that fast if it wants to be completely like the Central Plains. However, the changes in Japan have also progressed, and they are indeed visible to the naked eye, such as in the transmission of information.

Japan also learned from Da Qin and established a sound carrier pigeon communication system. In less than two days, the news that Da Qin massacred 15,000 innocent people on the three islands spread throughout most of Japan's urban areas.

As soon as this news came out, all the Japanese people exploded.

The people of Japan were originally wondering why the eleven countries that were hostile to each other suddenly united. Now they finally understand. It turns out that the Qin Empire came to take revenge.

As for the reasons for Qin's revenge, Oda Nobunaga also stated in his statement, but they were all lies to justify his own side.

Oda Nobunaga only said in his statement that the coastal areas of the Qin Dynasty were plundered by Japanese pirates, but did not mention that this was a deliberate plan by Takeda Tokugawa and other countries. However, the overbearing Qin Empire did not listen to the Japanese explanation at all. He even threatened to massacre one million Japanese people in revenge.

The people of Japan have only just begun to possess civilization, and most of what they have learned is the civilization of the Central Plains, so they are naturally in awe of the Central Plains overlord, Qin.

However, no matter how awed he was, he was still outraged by Oda Nobunaga's lies and the domineering and unreasonable behavior of Great Qin.

There are so many people in Japan, so it is normal for some scum to appear. You, the Qin Dynasty, are angry at the entire Japan just because of a small number of scum. Isn't this too much?

The people of Japan who did not know the truth were furious and supported the Eleven-Nation Alliance one after another, and threatened to show the arrogance of Da Qin.

However, even if they know their true intentions, it is estimated that these fools will still excuse themselves and be fooled by the mistakes of high-level officials who will never admit their mistakes.

 The support of the people gave Oda Nobunaga and others the confidence to fight a protracted war with Da Qin and Zhou Yu.

Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin and others thought that Zhou Yu was preparing for a protracted war, so they deliberately depleted Japan's reserves, but they did not know that Zhou Yu did not want to fight a protracted war with them.

 The reason why the people of the Three Islands were massacred was just to attract the attention of the Japanese navy and completely anger them, so the massacre will still continue. In the next four days, Zhou Yu followed the same method, relying on the speed advantage of the warships to engage in maritime guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army.

Under the command of Zhou Yu, the Qin army successively captured eight islands including Okinawa, Osumi Islands, and Amami Islands, and massacred more than 20,000 people in Otomo Shimazu.

There were also islands in Sioux under the Maori family, but they were temporarily spared because they were located near Honshu.

 In fact, as early as the massacre of the second island, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other generals approached Zhou Yu and clearly expressed their opposition to the massacre of the Japanese people.

“Gongjin, we can’t continue the massacre, otherwise it will definitely arouse the opposition of the Japanese people, and then our Japanese allied forces will be unable to move forward in Japan.”

Zhao Yun said with a serious face, not even calling Zhou Yu the Commander-in-Chief. This shows that the massacres during this period have made him dissatisfied with Zhou Yu.

Huang Zhong and other generals also agreed. It was natural for them to kill the enemy, but they were disgusted with attacking civilians who had no power to restrain the enemy.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other land generals objected because they did not fight the Japanese pirates and did not know the brutality of the Japanese pirates and the tragic situation of the people of Qingzhou at that time.

Qi Jiguang, Li Sunchen and other navy generals participated in that battle. They hated the Japanese pirates deeply and supported the massacre.

 The two sides started to quarrel over whether to kill or not to kill.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu felt helpless. He knew from the beginning that the massacre would attract opposition. After all, the Qin army had very good military discipline and had never massacred innocent civilians. It was expected that the generals would be disgusted by this. thing.

 “Okay, don’t make any noise.”

After Zhou Yu spoke, all the generals shut up, but Zhou Yu said to Zhao Yun: "General Zilong, you only saw me slaughtering Japanese people. Do you know how many Han people were slaughtered when the Japanese invaded the eastern coast? How many people were displaced? ?”

Zhao Yun was silent. He was not too clear about this, but he also knew that the casualties must be considerable, otherwise there would never have been a four-nation alliance to conquer Japan.

"Let me tell you generals that when the Japanese pirates invaded the eastern coast, our country of Qin alone suffered casualties of 100,000 people, and as many as 30,000 people died directly. Nearly 70,000 people lost their homes and became homeless. Returnable.

 Our Great Qin suffered the smallest casualties among the other countries. The casualties of the three kingdoms of Yan, Wu, and Ming were much greater than those of our Great Qin. Among them, Wu suffered the greatest losses.

The number of casualties was as many as 400,000, more than 100,000 people died directly, and more than 300,000 affected people were made homeless.

 After the war, statistics showed that in the Japanese pirate rebellion two years ago, as many as 200,000 Han people died, and as many as one million Han people had their homes destroyed. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in a collective uproar. Most people's eyes turned red, and they looked like they were gnashing their teeth, as if they wanted to eat the Japanese alive.

Dian Wei looked in disbelief and said, "How can there be so many?"

 He thought that the Japanese pirate rebellion was just a minor disaster, but he didn't expect that it involved millions of people, and as many as 200,000 people died directly.

Zhou Yuze said: "This is the war damage statistics of various countries, and it cannot be false.

The Japanese pirates knew how powerful Da Qin was, but they still dared to attack the people of Da Qin without mercy at all.

Since the Japanese can massacre the Han people, why can’t we Han people massacre the Japanese? "

Hearing this, all the generals who came to petition, including Zhao Yun, fell silent.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, massacres in cities and towns have become taboo.

Not only did the princes of the Central Plains dare not do it, even the arrogant barbarians like the Yuan and Qing Dynasties also did not dare to massacre the Han people.

 However, the Japanese pirates still dared to commit crimes and committed heinous crimes in the Central Plains. So the blood debt can only be washed away with blood.

The blood of the Japanese who did not kill them has flowed into rivers, mountains of corpses and seas of blood. This hatred is difficult to eliminate.

Zhao Yun is not the Virgin, he just hates the massacre. Now that he knows the hatred between the two countries, he will naturally not continue to oppose it, but he still has a concern in his heart.

"But if the massacre continues like this, I am afraid that you, the Governor, will be impeached by the civil servants in the country." Zhao Yun said.

Back then, Bai Qi massacred the Liaodong family without being convicted, so he was collectively impeached by the ministers of the DPRK. The impeachment memorials could pile up into a hill. But this Bai Qi did it deliberately to prevent his superiority from overshadowing his master. ,.

 Zhou Yu had no scruples in this regard. If he slaughtered too many civilians, his reputation in the country would be affected, and he would inevitably be called a butcher.

Zhou Yu naturally knew about this, but he didn't care at all.

“Originally, I wanted to attack the Japanese mainland and I was telling the generals. In this case, I’d better tell the generals in advance.”

As he spoke, Zhou Yu took out a letter of appeal from his arms. When he opened it, he saw only three big characters: Tu Japanese Order.

Everyone immediately gathered around to watch the above content. They basically criticized the Japanese country for not overestimating its own capabilities, taking the initiative to provoke Da Qin, and committing heinous crimes in the Central Plains. Therefore, Da Qin came here to avenge its own people, a just act.

As for the end of the imperial edict, in addition to the jade seal of Qin, there are also the royal seals of Wei, Song and Wu.

 Obviously, this was an edict to massacre the Japanese signed jointly by the monarchs of the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, and Wu.

 Generals who hold this order do not need to bear any psychological burden. Even if they slaughter the entire Japanese country, they do not need to bear any responsibility.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other generals looked at each other, obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem. The allied forces of these countries were conquering the Japanese for revenge, and it seemed that they would never give up until the Japanese were decimated.

Zhou Yu said: "Generals, you don't have to be mentally burdened. It doesn't matter if you don't want to massacre Japanese civilians. After attacking the Japanese mainland, the armies of Wei, Song and Wu will come to carry out the massacre on your behalf, and the governor will also support you." A group of Japanese traitors, let the Japanese massacre their own people."

Zhou Yu's words were all about peace, and with the "Order to Slaughter the Japanese", Zhao Yun and other generals no longer had any reason to object, so they all resigned and took the initiative to implement the "Order to Slaughter the Japanese".

The Qin army took advantage of its speed and strength to massacre eleven Japanese islands in succession, directly killing all the Japanese people on the islands near Kyushu, but its own casualties were minimal.

If you want to continue killing, you can only go to the islands around Honshu and Shikoku further away, or directly attack Kyushu Island, one of the four major islands.

Zhou Yu calculated the time and realized that the Wu-Song coalition was about to arrive, and he was not ready to continue to be entangled like this, so he directly sent a letter of challenge to Oda Nobunaga.
