Chapter 67: The Fire

and Lin.

Once the center of the world.

More than a hundred years ago, it was the capital of the whole world, and its owner was the greatest conqueror the world has ever seen; Every edict here will form a stormy wave thousands of miles away.

From Vienna on the Rhine in the far west to Bianliang on the banks of the Yellow River in the south, from the frigid Russian steppes to the scorching Arabian desert, most of the world's known territories are shrouded in its majesty.

However, when the aura of power disappeared, Helin City was just a soil city of four miles north and south and about two miles east and west, not to mention that compared with the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, even compared with the border cities of Datong and Suiyuan, they were far behind.

The decline of the Mongol Empire has made it extremely depressed, and the once lively bazaars, merchants from the north and south, and the lively cries of selling have disappeared, and the once prosperous Hui gathering area has long been empty.

But at the end of July and the beginning of August in the ninth year of Jianwen, it was lively here.

When Dibaonu and Eseku led a large army to Tongliao, the subordinates under the command of Dibaonu collectively migrated to Helin, making the surrounding area of Helin a sea of tents.

At the beginning of September, the army led by Jibaonu and Eseku arrived in Horin, which made the atmosphere around Helin even higher.

But......

Dibaonu rode on his horse, looking at Helin City from afar, and hot tears stung his eyes.....

The four gates of Helin were wide open, and countless Lele carts loaded with hay entered Helin City......

"Uncle, does it have to be like this?"

"Samur," said the Dibaonu, who closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, "or else?" ”

Samuel opened his mouth and finally said, "It's just a pity! This is the glory of our Mongols! Genghis Khan, Γ–gedei Khan, MΓΆngke Khan, they are all here......" Speaking of this, Samur couldn't help but sobbed softly.

Samur's cry was contagious, and the Mongols around him could no longer hold back the grief in their hearts, and almost began to cry in unison.

Soon, the whole steppe was immersed in a state of sorrow.

This kind of sadness from the bone marrow seemed to affect the sky, and a few white clouds drifted on Lin Cheng unconsciously, and even the scorching sun did not want to look directly at this scene.

......

"Great Khan, everything is ready, you see......"

Si Re led a team of cavalry, ran out of the south gate of Helin City, went to the Di Bao Nu, bowed down, and saluted.

"......" wanted to speak, but found that his throat was blocked by something, and tears and snot poured out uncontrollably.

The earth protector could not suppress the grief in his heart, and under the gaze of everyone, he rolled his saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and held his hands to the sky: "Immortal heaven! Bless the Mongols! Bless the descendants of Genghis Khan! ”

"Bless the Mongols!"

"Please bless the descendants of Genghis Khan!"

......

I don't know how long time passed, but Di Baonu finally stood up, wiped his tears lightly, and waved his hand at Sire: "Do it!" ”

"Yes!"

Si Re waved his hand, and more than a dozen archers behind him ignited the rocket, then bent their bows and arrows, and as soon as they let go, the rocket flew towards Helin City.

In an instant, smoke rose from Helin City, and the smoke grew bigger and bigger......

The crying all around seemed to be louder......

With these cries, the dark clouds over the forest began to gather......

"Let's go! Sweat! ”

Tara squeezed in from behind and whispered, "The old and young women and children have gone away, we have to hurry!" ”

"Well, okay!"

Dibaonu looked at the city of Helin in front of him, stopped his sorrowful voice, and said: "Passing on the military order of Ben Khan, now that our Great Mongolia has no way to retreat, Ben Khan wants to lead everyone to follow the footsteps of Meng Ke Khan, Batu Khan and Hulagu Khan to the west and re-establish our Mongol paradise!" ”

"Hooray!"

Tara shouted!

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

The sound has become more and more neat from the beginning of the sparse and laar, although it is mixed with pathos that is difficult to be strict, but it also reveals a kind of unyielding and rebellious......

"Tara, has the envoy sent to the Ming Kingdom set off?"

"We already set off yesterday!"

"Hmm!"

"Where's the Eseku?"

"Taishi's body is so sick that he can't ride a horse, so he can only ride a carriage!"

"Very good, we must strengthen the protection of the Eseku, and there must be no accidents!"

"Yes! Sweat! ”

......

"Tara, what do you think the future generations will say about me, the Great Khan?"

"The Great Khan is the immortal lord of the world, the lord of the Mongols!"

"Lord? ZTE? Is there a British lord who has given up his ancestral land? I just hope that the Mongols will live, I just hope that they will live! ”

β€œ......”

......

Wa Kingdom.

When the Ming army's sailors appeared on Lake Biwa, Kyoto was in a panic.

In fact, the Wa State Naval Division had done their best, and they had been blocking the Ming army for more than two months.

This is also the last sailor force of the Wa Kingdom.

The sailors of the Wa Kingdom were all coastal sea divisions, so under the sweep of the Ming navy, they all went north to Lake Biwa through the Yodogawa River.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had two considerations, one was to prevent the Ming army from going north to Kyoto, and the other was just in case, once Kyoto could not be held, he and the emperor could retreat to Mino, Shinano and other places through Lake Biwa and continue to fight.

However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu encountered a thorny problem, that is, Emperor Komatsu was unwilling to go, and he wanted to live and die with Kyoto!

It's a bit tricky.

What to do?

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has been pondering this question.

Emperor Komatsu must not stay in Kyoto, and must not fall into the hands of the Ming army, otherwise once the Ming army controls the emperor, then he will become a rebel in an instant, and it is likely that he will be attacked by a group.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu knew that betrayal did not need a reason, and betrayal only needed an excuse.

So not only Emperor Komatsu, but all members of the Imperial family could not stay in Kyoto unless they turned into corpses.

If the emperor continues to be ignorant of elevation, then the only way to do so is to use coercion.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu thought.

He summoned Shibukawa Mitsuyori and asked him to persuade the emperor one last time, and Shibukawa Mitsuyori agreed.

......

"Your Majesty the Emperor, greetings to Ashikaga-sama!"

"Shibukawa-kun, please take a seat!"

Emperor Komatsu raised his hand, asked people to take away the Go on the table, and then ordered someone to make tea, personally poured a cup for Shibukawa Mitsuyori, and said with a smile: "What do Ashikaga-sama command?" ”

"I don't dare to take orders, but," Shibukawa Mitsuyori pondered his sentence for a while, and said: "The Ming army is only two days away from Kyoto, Kyoto is no longer defendable, and the Ming army has already appeared in Lake Biwa, Ashikaga-sama has decided to evacuate Kyoto, and specially sent his subordinates to ask the emperor, when is it better to leave?" ”

Emperor Komatsu slightly, stroked the short beard under his chin, raised his hand and said, "You all go down, I and Shibukawa-kun have something to talk about!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

When everyone stepped back, there was silence in the room.

After a long time, Emperor Komatsu said in a low voice: "Shibukawa-kun, what you said last time, is it reliable?" ”
