The city of Kyoto, the center of power on the island, was not too far from the sea, and a few days later, Li Nan's convoy arrived at the city, modeled after Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Kyoto Castle is about 5.2 kilometers long from north to south and 4.5 kilometers long from east to west, and its area is equivalent to about one-fifth of Chang'an Castle, the capital of the Tang Dynasty of China.

The Ouchiri, where the emperor of the island country lives, is located directly north of the city, and the castle is centered on Suzaku Taiji, and the city is divided into two symmetrical parts, Ukyo and Sakyo.

The news of the arrival of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire had already spread throughout the city of Kyoto, and the people in and around the city also came to watch, but after seeing the majestic and mighty 20,000 strong soldiers of the empire, the people of these island countries were shocked and speechless.

The Imperial Emperor arrived, and Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Birdyu and Emperor Chongtoku, the three lords of the island country, took all the princes and nobles of the island country out of the city to greet them.

The island country is rainy and humid, so the muddy, dirty, and foul-smelling Kyoto City, Li Nan didn't plan to go in, so he set up a big tent outside the city to talk to the three lords.

Judging from the mannerisms and attitudes of these three people, Emperor Shirakawa was unusually tough, although he did not say it explicitly, but he did not welcome the people of the empire, but Emperor Toba was quite pro-emperor, as for the Emperor Chongtoku, who had no rights at all, there was no need to mention it.

Although Emperor Shirakawa was old, he was very irritable, and when he heard his grandson Toba and Li Nan talking and laughing harmoniously and discussing the affairs of the island country, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and returned to Kyoto under the pretext of being unwell.

When his biggest opponent left, he was in the arms of Emperor Toba, and after he ordered his son Emperor Chongde to leave, he talked to Li Nan about business.

Emperor Toba now has two enemies, one is his grandfather Emperor Shirakawa, and the other is Fujiwara Tadashi, an old acquaintance of Li Nan, so the meaning of his words is clear, he can recognize and continue the Treaty of Katsura, but he needs the Empire's military assistance to the island nation.

The so-called military assistance is also very simple, that is, to fight against Emperor Shirakawa's samurai gang and the Fujiwara clan, and to help the imperial family represented by Emperor Toba to train an elite army of island people.

After Emperor Toba left, the frightened Fujiwara arrived soon with a lot of gifts.

Fujiwara Tadashi, as the patriarch of the Fujiwara clan, has been seriously weakened since Emperor Shirakawa established the Imperial Court and received the allegiance of a large number of samurai classes, and the uncontrollable Emperor Toba is also reclaiming power, so he is now more anxious than anyone else.

Li Nan didn't care much about who became the lord of the island country and who held the power of the island country, as long as they obeyed the will of the empire.

The Fujiwara clan is the first family to defect to the empire, and now Emperor Toba also wants to rely on the empire to seize power, and it is not very good for the family to be dominant, so it seems that a more balanced choice should be made.

After thinking about it, Li Nan ordered someone to summon Emperor Toba and Fujiwara Tadashi, and then threw out the conditions of the empire.

To be honest, Li Nan's requirements were very harsh, and the ambitious Toba didn't want to agree, but now that the imperial army was stationed outside Kyoto, and there were no 10,000 soldiers and horses in the entire island country, he was helpless even if he was unwilling.

Toba saw very well that if he refused Li Nan's conditions, the empire would immediately turn to support Fujiwara's loyal side, and then he would hold Emperor Shotoku hostage to order the people of the whole island.

Toba, who was placed on the board, had only two choices, either refusing to wait for death or begging for life in humiliation.

No one wants to die, especially the lord of a country who wants to live forever, so in the end, Toba agreed to all the conditions and requirements put forward by Li Nan.

After the two sides negotiated the terms, a new treaty was signed directly in the big tent outside the castle, and both Emperor Toba and Fujiwara Tadashi signed on it.

Toba and Fujiwara, who had complicated thoughts, returned to Kyoto Castle, and the Imperial Army began to move.

As the leader of the samurai class, Emperor Shirakawa, who was attached to power and did not want to let go, but also wanted to compete with the empire, was naturally the first target.

Five thousand Imperial soldiers entered Kyoto Castle and, with the help of Emperor Toba and the Fujiwara family, captured Emperor Shirakawa and other die-hard soldiers.

10,000 Imperial Navy marched to the Tokaido, Dongshan Road, and North Road Road, and at the same time, the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Royal Navy, under the leadership of Lady Qing, landed on the island nation's Nankai Road and West **.

The samurai class is a hidden danger to change the existing system of the island country, so the empire will carry out an all-round attack on the samurai of the entire island country, of course, in line with the principle of not wasting it, these sturdy island samurai cannot be annihilated all, and the priority is to capture alive.

These samurai, who were also hated by Emperor Toba and the princes and nobles of the island nation, did not stay in the island country after being captured, but were sent to Sichuan Province by the empire.

When the empire built the road, it inevitably encountered some difficulties, such as the Shu Road, which has been difficult since ancient times.

The use of war criminals to build roads is a tradition after the establishment of the empire, but the war criminals within the empire will be exempted from crime after working for several years, so the number is getting smaller and smaller, and the dangerous work of building Shu Road with ropes suspended in mid-air is most suitable for these island warriors to do.

With the exception of the samurai who died in captivity, each samurai who was transported to the Empire was worth an Imperial Silver coin, which went to Emperor Toba and the Fujiwara family.

At the moment, Toba and the others feel pretty good, because they have solved the uncontrollable samurai problem and earned a large amount of income, but they didn't realize that once the opening was opened, they could no longer close it.

"Boom, boom", in the roar of artillery fire, in addition to the broken planks sprinkled with the seawater, it was also dyed a shocking red.

As the sweep of the Imperial Army began, the generals of the Taira clan and the Genji clan began to lead all the samurai under their command to resist.

The Taira clan gathered all the samurai in the surrounding area and gathered a force of 3,000 men, and they launched a night attack on the Pacific Fleet in various small boats.

Unfortunately, despite their boundless courage, the Taira clan and their samurai could not even get close to the hundreds of tall artillery warships, and under the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery, they quickly turned into broken wood and floating corpses on the sea.

The same counterattack was carried out by the samurai of the Genji family, who were finally wiser and did not attack the warships at sea, but attacked the approaching Imperial Navy soldiers.

Many of these samurai were well-known in the island nation, but unfortunately, the Imperial army was equipped with guns that were far more powerful than they could have imagined.

Wielding a long knife to rush forward, you need to pass through the rain of bullets, you have to go through the baptism of grenades, and even if you are lucky enough to rush in front of the Imperial soldiers, there are pistols and sabers waiting for them......

After the continuous sweep of the imperial army, the emerging samurai class of the island country was slaughtered and captured, and the living environment of the country returned to its previous state.

The unchanged island nation was what Li Nan wanted to see, because he knew that the rise of the samurai class would bring the island nation into a more threatening Kamakura shogunate period.

Removing this possibility from the source can continue to take what the Empire needs from the island nation, which is something that everyone in the Empire likes to see.
