Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Two East Expedition to Japan (1)(1/2)

When the eunuchs and maids in the palace saw someone finally breaking into the palace, they immediately fled.

For the past two days, there have been constant sounds of fighting in the city, and the entrances and exits of the palace have been blocked. People in the palace also know that someone will enter the palace sooner or later, but they still have to panic when things happen.

Chao Yong asked someone to capture a few eunuchs and palace maids who were running slowly, and said: "Let everyone come to the square in front of the palace, and then I will send troops to search the palace, and behead all those who are caught hiding."

One of the eunuchs actually replied in trembling Chinese: "Yes."

Chao Yong looked at the eunuch in his thirties in surprise and said, "How much Chinese do you know?"

The eunuch said: "I can all understand it and know some Chinese characters."

Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, there is still a talent, then you are responsible for delivering orders. If you do a good job, I can let you go free."

When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes."

Chao Yong came to the palace hall with his soldiers and admired the Korean architecture.

People in the palace kept rushing to the square outside, huddled together and shivered, waiting for Prince Daliang to die.

Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng came in from outside and reported: "King Wang Kai of Goryeo has arrived."

Chao Yong turned around and said with a smile: "There will be no more Goryeo in the future. He will be one of my captives in Daliang."

Guo Sheng nodded and said, "Yes."

Chao Yong led people out. Thousands of people had gathered in the square outside the main hall. At the front were a dozen Korean guards holding knives to protect a young man who looked very weak. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why are there still people there?"

arms?"

Hebule said: "When we entered the city, some guards escaped into the palace, and I didn't lead anyone to search for them."

Chao Yong said to Guo Sheng aside: "Hand over their weapons, and any offenders will be killed without mercy."

Guo Sheng was originally afraid of hurting the life of the King of Goryeo, but after hearing the prince's order, he lost his worries and led his men to press forward.

Wang Kai could also understand Chinese, and when he heard Chao Yong's kill order, he quickly asked the guards to put down their weapons.

He had a weak temperament and was ostracized by his grandfather and father-in-law Li Ziqian just after he ascended the throne. He has been under house arrest for the past two years. If Li Ziqian had not married his two daughters to protect him, he would have been murdered by Li Ziqian long ago.

For him, it would be good if he could save his life. As for whether the country would be subjugated or not, that was always out of his control.

The palace guards were not willing to risk their lives, so they all threw down their weapons after seeing the king's order.

Guo Sheng led people to escort all the guards out.

There were more women than eunuchs in the Goryeo palace, but Chao Yong found them boring after just one glance.

Without the plastic surgery technology of later generations, Koreans would basically have big face and small eyes. It would be difficult to find a few women who could be comparable to the palace maids in the palace.

Chao Yong asked Hebule: "How are these women?"

Hebule looked at the woman below greedily and said, "She's pretty."

Chao Yong smiled and said: "Take your people to sweep across the country of Goryeo. Within half a month, I will end the war in Goryeo. All these women will be rewarded to you. I have brought people with royal votes, and they will take care of you."

I will estimate the loot and exchange it for you in silver notes. Silver notes are easy to carry and you can exchange them for gold and silver when you return to Prairie Road."

Hebule also felt that it would be difficult to continue fighting with the things he grabbed. He was immediately overjoyed when he heard that he could exchange them for silver notes with a royal ticket number.

After the establishment of Prairie Road, the Royal Ticket Office also expanded to the newly built city on Prairie Road. All ministries have heard of the Royal Ticket Office's business, but their wealth is basically cattle and sheep, which cannot save the Royal Ticket Office. And they are more

I like the reality of having gold and silver in my hands. Of course, the customers of the Royal Bank on Prairie Road are mainly businessmen traveling between the prairie and the mainland, not these poor tribes who only have wool.

However, after looting Kaijing, they had money and deposited it in the Royal Bank.

Of course, the royal bank will also make a lot of money from it, in addition to gold and silver. These grassland people who have only seen cattle and sheep will not know its value even if they grab the Goryeo national treasure. Of course, the royal bank has no interest in these barbarian national treasures.

, the most you can do is take it back and auction it off to some wealthy people in the Central Plains who like rare things.

Chao Yong stayed in Kaijing for ten days and then took the Prince fleet to Busan.

Busan is located on the southeastern border of Goryeo. There are countless small islands on the calm, mirror-like sea, and there are endless cliffs on the shore. The scenery is very good.

According to the Korean Erjizi, many Korean emperors visited here. Of course, it has now become a small bay in Daliang.

The North Sea Fleet continued to travel between Korea and Dengzhou, sending batches of Korean slaves back to the Central Plains.

It is much closer to travel between two places by sea than by land.

On April 1, Chao Yong led Wu Song's troops, 10,000 Jurchen soldiers, and 80,000 grassland vassal troops to march eastward to Japan. Hua Rong led his troops and 20,000 grassland road vassal troops to continue the purge of Goryeo.

The task given to him by Chao Yong was to return the world to a clean paradise, ensuring that there was no Korean in it, and waiting for the people to move to Daliang and re-develop it in the future.

Since Daliang announced that Japan would be wiped out in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Japan sent several waves of envoys to sue for peace. However, each time the envoys were captured by Daliang as soon as they landed, they were immediately stamped as slaves and sent to the mines.

After Japan sent envoys several times but never returned, they also knew that Daliang was determined to go to war with them, so they stopped making unnecessary peace pleas and directly began to prepare to defend against Daliang's attack.

Japan deployed almost all its national troops on the coasts of Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, and built a stone wall at Hakata Bay, the best landing site on Kyushu Island, to prevent the Daliang army from landing.

On the other hand, Japan also built a fleet, hoping to keep the majority of its troops out of the country. However, after the spies saw the towering Prince, the Japanese wisely hid all their warships.

The situation in Japan is somewhat similar to that of Goryeo. Wang Kai married his aunt, and Emperor Toba of Japan married Fujiwara Shoko, the adopted daughter of his grandfather, Emperor Shirakawa.

If that were the case, it would not be a weird thing, but Emperor Shirakawa and Fujiwara Shoko actually had an affair, which meant that Fujiwara Shoko was serving both his grandfather and grandson at the same time.

Emperor Shirakawa has held power in Japan for decades and can be said to have become stronger with age. Emperor Toba could only tolerate this situation.

However, Hierophant Shirakawa seemed to know what kind of person his grandson was. Although the Japanese were all ninjas, there were not many people who could tolerate this. So in the third year of the Apocalypse, Hiroyuki Shirakawa asked Emperor Toba to abdicate and become Emperor Toba.

The emperor was succeeded by the eldest son of Toba and Fujiwara Shoko, who became Emperor Sutoku.

The policy implemented in Japan at this time was the imperial government established by Emperor Shirakawa. The emperor abdicated and was called the emperor. The emperor recruited troops and was called the Northern Samurai. Orders issued in the name of the emperor were more authoritative than the emperor's edict. The emperor became a monk and was called the emperor. The rights of the emperor

Then it was transferred to the hands of the King of France.

In order to solve the problem of the regency system that Emperor Shirakawa used to delegate power in Japan to his relative, the Fujiwara clan, the power of the emperor was weakened, and the Fujiwara clan relied on the regent appointed by the emperor, so the guanbai naturally became worthless.

In fact, Emperor Sotoku was not the son of Emperor Toba, but the son of Emperor Shirakawa and Shoko Fujiwara. Emperor Toba helped his grandfather raise his son for several years, and then he was ousted from the throne by his grandfather's son. You can imagine his frustration.

And know it.

However, Emperor Toba was also a ninja, and he continued to endure it until his grandfather, Emperor Shirakawa, died. Emperor Toba took control of the real power, and then he began to take action. He gave his other son to Emperor Sutoku as his adopted son. In name, Emperor Sutoku still remained.

His son naturally had no reason to give his younger son to his older son as the eldest son.

Perhaps Emperor Toba was using this move to vent his anger, saying that Emperor Sutoku was not his son.

Okay, now the whole of Japan knows that the Emperor's family is in chaos.

Within two years, Emperor Toba, who became a monk, abdicated Emperor Sutoku, and then allowed his own son to succeed him as Emperor Konoe.

It's a pity that Emperor Konoe died not many years ago, and then the war between Emperor Toba and Emperor Sutoku began. Emperor Sutoku hoped that he or his son would become emperor. But the powerful Emperor Toba would not be willing to be an old man again.

Ninja, I am determined not to let my grandfather's bastard become the emperor again, but to let my other son become the emperor.

In the end, Emperor Toba, who had endured for more years, became more advanced in ninja skills and made his other son the emperor. That is Emperor Go-Shirakawa.

After the death of Emperor Toba, Emperor Sotoku, who had endured for many years, also showed some moral integrity. He entangled the samurai who were loyal to him and started a war with Emperor Go-Shirakawa, which was the Homoto Rebellion.

The Homoto Rebellion allowed the samurai class to begin to interfere in politics. It also allowed the later shogunate system to take root.

The history of Japan can be said to be the chaotic history of the emperor's family, or it can be said to be the history of emperors practicing ninjutsu throughout the generations.

During the Baoyuan Rebellion, Emperor Chongde was defeated and exiled. After Chongde was exiled, he spent three years writing five Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in blood, hoping to atone for his sins, and begged the court to send the Buddhist scriptures to Kyoto and have them in the temple. However, this request was also rejected.

When he refused, the emperor also said that his life was meaningless.

Chongde suffered a complete mental breakdown after being exiled for eight years. From then on, he stopped trimming his hair and nails, and soon he became what the Japanese call a tengu.

On the scriptures written in his own blood, he wrote: I copied Buddhist scriptures to accumulate good karma and atone for my sins. Since I will not be forgiven, I will let those karma go into the three evil realms to help me become the great devil in Japan and kill the people for the king.

He committed regicide for the people. After writing the scriptures, he sank into the sea and committed suicide by biting his tongue. He died at the age of forty-six.

After Sotoku's death, disasters continued in Japan, and there was no peace for both the government and the public. The Japanese felt that this was all a curse from Emperor Sotoku, so they built temples to honor him.

They worshiped together, but this did not seem to calm Chongde's resentment, so a disaster that destroyed the court - the "Ping clan's dictatorship" came.

From then on, Japan fell into a war that lasted for seven hundred years. It was not until Emperor Meiji sent a special envoy to the Shiroho Imperial Mausoleum to bring Sotoku's spiritual throne to the Shiroho Shrine in Kyoto for enshrinement that Japan ushered in a brief period of peace.

People are afraid of Sotoku's curse and call it "Japan's Great Demon Fate" and "Misfortune God". According to the legend, the image of Emperor Sotoku is a golden kite, which resembles the protector god in Buddhism, holding a steel pestle in his hand.

With wings attached to his body, he leads the Tengu to guard the White Peak.

In Japan, which is known as the eight million gods, the number one wraith spirit and the number one demon king are generally said to be Emperor Sotoku.

Back to the main story, four years after the Apocalypse, Emperor Shirakawa is still alive. Emperor Toba can only be a ninja, watching his queen go to play with his grandfather every day. Emperor Sotoku, the most resentful spirit in Japan, is still a six-year-old little Shota.

He still doesn't know that the person he calls daddy every day is actually his nephew.

The person responsible for the defense of Kyushu Island is Japan's Kanshiro (equivalent to the Prime Minister, but only in name only during the Yuanzheng era) Fujiwara Tadamichi.

Daliang soldiers and horses crossed the sea from Goryeo and captured the two relatively large islands of Tsushima and Yiqi Island first.

Chao Yong originally thought that the Japanese on the two islands should have evacuated to Kyushu Island or Honshu Island, but he did not expect that the Japanese on the two islands actually tried to resist on the spot.

Unsaid, 50,000 prairie people pressed forward, killed the resisting Japanese, and sent all the others back to the Central Plains as mining slaves.

Within a few days, the army arrived at Hakata Bay. Chao Yong also found out that the Japanese were building stone walls in Hakata Bay. However, they did not land elsewhere, but prepared to crush the Japanese with powerful force and let the Japanese know that Daliang was

irresistible.

Chao Yong also knew that the Yuan Dynasty had twice conquered Japan, but both failed. But this time Daliang came well-prepared. The ships of the North Sea Fleet were all sea-going ships, and their ability to withstand wind and waves was unquestionable. Moreover, he had sent people to inquire all year round.

Maritime merchants traveling between the two countries were busy. There were many hurricanes in Japan in August. He was scheduled to go on an expedition in April and planned to use three months to support a Japanese puppet to mine gold and silver for him.
