Chapter 831
Under the strong arrangement of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the chaotic Heian-kyo gradually calmed down.
The daimyo who came to Heian-kyo from various regions to provide support also successfully regrouped their soldiers.
Although it took a long time, more than four hours to finish, it finally stopped the chaos.
At eleven o'clock, the daimyo, who received the order from the shogunate, brought his soldiers to Suzaku Avenue as required.
It was then that everyone discovered that at the end of Suzaku Avenue, there was a platform at the gate of the Emperor's Palace.
At this time, the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was standing on the stage, looking at the people below with a serious expression.
Then, about fifteen minutes later, all the soldiers in Heian-kyō returned to Suzaku Avenue.
Seeing that most of the people had gathered, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's subordinate quickly came up behind him and whispered:
"General, the soldiers are almost here. You may begin speaking."
"Well, go get ready and do what I ask you to do later."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu nodded in response, then immediately turned to look at the crowd surging below the stage.
“Soldiers!!”
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's voice spread from the stage through the speaker-like amplifier.
The Japanese pirate soldiers, who were originally a little noisy, immediately quieted down and looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu standing on the stage.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu spoke again.
"We, the Yamato people, have lived and multiplied on this land for thousands of years. This is our home and our roots."
"But now, the Ming emperor is cruel and inhumane, presumptuously ruling a great nation. He has disregarded the dignity of his great nation and has sent troops to attack our country of Japan."
"They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of evil. Wherever they passed, not a blade of grass grew, and no one or animal survived. They intended to destroy our nation of Japan."
As soon as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finished speaking, several cries of grief were heard from the audience, attracting the attention of the surrounding soldiers.
At first no one knew why these people were crying, but soon they knew why they were crying.
It turned out that these people had survived the massacre by the Ming army and fled to Heian-kyo.
They joined the army with hatred in their hearts, just to avenge their relatives and friends who were massacred by the Ming army.
Seeing them weeping, the soldiers around them felt as if something was blocking their throats and chests.
These weeping people were naturally arranged by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that they would cry at this time.
I have to say that these people's acting skills are really good. As soon as they cried, the soldiers around them immediately empathized with them.
At this moment, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was standing on the stage, took the opportunity to speak again.
"We, the Yamato people, will never abandon the land on which we depend for our survival, so this general has summoned you."
"Because of your support, Heian-kyō was able to gather over 500,000 troops. However, this also caused the Ming army to be wary."
"They were afraid, afraid of our unity. They knew they couldn't win, so they resorted to underhanded tactics."
Having said that, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took a deep breath and said with an expression full of grief and indignation:
"You experienced what happened last night. The despicable Ming army attacked us at night, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties."
"Now, the bodies of your brothers, your relatives, and your friends lie behind you."
After hearing what Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said, the Japanese pirate soldiers turned around, but only those at the back could see it.
Originally they were a little afraid of the corpses, but they were not afraid of the corpses, but because they remembered what happened last night.
But now, looking at these corpses again, what is most evident in their eyes is not fear but grief, anger and hatred.
At this moment, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu on the stage spoke again, shouting angrily:
