In fact, he still had something to say that he didn't know how to say to Emperor Sutoku in front of him.
Fujiwara Seiko clearly stated in the biography that she had been accepted by Emperor Yan as his imperial concubine, and she would spare no effort to intercede in front of Emperor Yan and strive for the greatest escape route for the Fujiwara family.
Naturally, her marriage to Chongde was annulled because of this.
In his letters, Seiko Fujiwara repeatedly advised Fujiwara to be aware of the current affairs and leave Heianjing to submit to the Yan army, lest the Emperor of Yan massacre Heianjing.
But how could Fujiwara Kei, who was proud and arrogant, surrender without a fight?
Besides, if Heian Kyo and the Emperor were handed over to the Yan people, Japan would be destroyed.
At this moment, his father, Fujiwara Tadamichi, who was leading the three coalition forces to fight the Yan army on Kyushu Island, and the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Fujiwara family, would all become victims.
Therefore, when Fujiwara Kei entered the palace to meet Emperor Sutoku, he had already laid out a careful plan to defend the city, preparing to defend Heian Kyo to the death and wait for reinforcements.
When Fujiwara Keimasa was discussing matters with Chongde, he suddenly felt the earth tremble, and the roar of horse hooves came from far to near like muffled thunder in the sky. Fujiwara Keizheng's expression suddenly changed, knowing that the Yan army had begun to approach the city, he could no longer continue the discussion with Chongde.
Regarding the matter of the Holy Son, I hurriedly handed the letter from the Holy Son Fujiwara to Chongtoku, then rushed out of the palace and led the imperial army straight to the tower.
Chongde looked horrified. After he read the biography of Fujiwara Seiko, a look of deep shame and anger appeared on his face involuntarily.
As the Emperor of Japan and his future queen, he was forced to become his concubine by Emperor Yan. Chongde raised his head and cried out in grief. He went back to the palace in anger, closed the door tightly, and started wailing in the palace.
In fact, he had no feelings for Fujiwara Seiko, it was just about his emperor's authority and face.
The Japanese dignitaries outside the palace became even more frightened when they heard the emperor's cry and tears coming from the palace. These people led various samurai to attack the tower.
At this critical moment, few people would consider the emperor's safety.
In fact, almost everyone in Ping'an Jing climbed onto the tower of Ping'an Jing, while the Japanese Imperial Palace in Nuoda was completely silent.
Even the servants and maids around the emperor began to secretly pack their bags and prepare to escape from Heian Kyo.
…
The red sun hangs high.
The solemn Heianjing City Wall is towering and majestic.
Wang Lin chuckled lightly on his horse, looked around at Seiko Fujiwara and said, "I never thought that the capital of your Japanese people would be the same as my Dayan City."
Fujiwara Seiko looked complicated and said lightly: "To answer your Majesty's question, Heian Jing was built after Chang'an in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is said that many of the craftsmen back then came from the Central Plains. At that time, our envoys from Japan to the Tang Dynasty would travel thousands of miles across the sea to the Han Dynasty every year.
.”
Wang Lin said calmly: "To put it bluntly, your Japanese characters, clothes, customs and people are all influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. Without Chinese culture, you Japanese people must still be eating hair and drinking blood. But later on, you Japanese people became arrogant and stopped paying attention to the culture of the Central Plains."
The Middle Kingdom becomes a vassal."
Fujiwara Seiko slowly lowered his head.
She was really irrefutable to Emperor Yan's words.
She could not deny that the Japanese people were greatly influenced by the Central Plains.
They once regarded the Central Plains as their superior state and called themselves vassals.
But this was all hundreds of years ago.
After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Central Plains declined, the Central Plains dynasty declined, and the Japanese gradually no longer took China seriously.
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the city gate tower of Ping An Jing, and saw the Japanese military flags hunting. There were Japanese soldiers and horses on the four walls, and on the tower of Zhuque Gate in the middle, there were dense groups of Japanese people looking at the city below.
Yan army formation.
Wang Lin knew very well that given the nature of the Japanese people, it was almost impossible for them to surrender without a fight.
In other words, if he wanted to capture Heian-kyo and kidnap the Emperor of Japan without any bloodshed, he had to conquer Heian-kyo.
In this raid on Ping'an Jing, Wang Lin's troops did not carry siege equipment. It can be imagined how difficult it would be to break through such a large city with such light cavalry.
But Wang Lin was already prepared.
Wang Lin glanced at Fujiwara Seiko and said calmly: "Miss Seiko, it seems that your letter does not work. Your brother Fujiwara Kei and the Japanese nobles in the city have never taken me seriously. In this case,
Then don’t blame me for being ruthless. When the city is destroyed, both jade and stone will be destroyed."
Fujiwara Seiko looked pale, bowed on his horse, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, please be magnanimous and leave a way for my Fujiwara family to survive."
Wang Lin roared loudly and waved his hand.
Yan Qingdun ordered the military officer beside him to blow the loud horn bugle.
Five thousand cavalry in brocade clothes raised their backs and let out an earth-shattering roar. They immediately galloped towards the majestic city of Ping'an Jing in a neat military formation. The Japanese people thought that the Yan army had begun to attack the city, so they cocked their bows and arrows and prepared to fight, but they saw the Yan army.
When the formation of the cavalry was about to enter the bow and arrow range of the Japanese soldiers, it suddenly divided into two teams on the left and right like a tide. Then, while marching at high speed, the cavalry in armor set up their bows and arrows, and fired dense rockets into the city.
This is the latest individual rocket launcher that has been personally presided over by the emperor and is based on the magical arrows of the Song Dynasty and repeatedly improved by the Arms Manufacturing Department of the Ministry of Industry. Due to the limited number, it is currently only equipped with cavalry.
"The method is to make a tube of alum paper, put gunpowder inside to make it full, and put a fire block and oil paper to seal it to prevent rain. Then a hole was made to charge the wire, and bamboo was used as the stem. The iron arrows were clustered in the shape of a swallow's tail, without feathers.
, put two or three arrows into a big bamboo tube. If you look at the enemy's fire, you can shoot a hundred steps into the wind, but against the headwind. It can be used in water and land battles. If you use it in water battles, you can burn the boat tent, if you use it in land battles, you can destroy the nest, and you will die if you are poisoned."
Of course, subject to the current level of technology and craftsmanship, the lethality of this rocket is actually unsatisfactory.
But when used in Heian Jingzhong at this moment, in this season of dry weather and irritable weather, not only can it easily cause fires in the city, but it can also spread poisonous gas with the help of wind.
The Yan army did not attack by force. Instead, they used their military formations to circle around the four gates of Ping'an Jing and fired rockets into the city.
Dense rockets flew through the air and fell into the city like locusts. Before long, fires broke out everywhere in Ping An Capital, and thick smoke billowed.
Fujiwara Seiko's expression suddenly became a little shocked.
She originally thought that the Yan army was going to lead an army to attack Ping'an Capital, but she didn't expect that the Yan army was just demonstrating around the city and shooting arrows into the city. All she saw was fire in Ping'an Capital, people shouting, horses neighing, ghosts crying and wolves howling. Fujiwara Seiko frowned lightly. She
Don’t you believe that just with these few waves of arrows, you can force the Japanese defenders in the city to surrender?
…
But Fujiwara Seiko did not expect that Yan Jun's rocket had a miraculous effect. Instead of being extinguished, the fire in Heian Jingzhong became more and more explosive. At least within Fujiwara Seiko's field of vision, there were four or five fires soaring into the sky and dyed red.
For most of the horizon.
Fujiwara Seiko suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Lin, and twitched his lips slightly: "Could it be that His Majesty has already sent people to sneak into Ping An Capital and set fires everywhere, and the Yan army fired rockets, just to deceive others?"
