When they came to the city wall, the clothes on their bodies had already been soaked by the rain, and everyone was like a chicken in soup, but at this moment, no one wiped the rain on their bodies at all, they only saw that there were countless Dongying warriors in front of them who had escaped from the city wall, and the Song army had already appeared on the city wall!

"Not good!" Fujiwara Izumi was taken aback, he never thought that in just a moment, the city wall that was extremely strong in his heart had been climbed by Song Jun Pan!

"Bastard, why did you step down?" Oda Mitsukei grabbed a samurai by the collar and said angrily.

"My lord, the bow and arrow of the Song army are too powerful, and we have only a dead end if we stay on it." This bushido.

"If you retreat, the Song army will rush forward, and then they will occupy the entire Kyoto, and we will only have a dead end!" Oda Mitsukeido said.

"Oda-kun, what now? There are more and more Song troops on the city wall! Izumi Fujiwara said with a pale face.

"Open the gates and rush out!" Oda Mitsukeido said.

"Rush out?" Izumi Fujiwara said incredulously.

"Not bad! Rush out! The number of Song troops is so great that it is impossible for us to recapture the city wall! Now open the city gate, after we rush out, kill the main general of the Song army, and the Song army will retreat! Now that's the only way to resist! Oda Mitsukei said.

"This ......" Izumi Fujiwara was stunned.

"The Song army on the city wall has already rushed down, they have entered Kyoto, and now it is impossible to stop them, we rushed out by surprise and killed their main general! Assemble everyone, follow me, and rush out! Oda Mitsukei yelled at the samurai behind him.

Finally, the city gate opened, and Oda Mitsukei rushed out with thousands of people!

At this moment, more and more people from the Song army have climbed the city wall, but there are still more than 30,000 Song troops outside!

Seeing the Dongying warriors rushing towards them, the more than 30,000 Song troops immediately attacked.

Once again, the rain of arrows is falling from the sky!

The ranks of the Dongying people are extremely chaotic, and the Dongying warriors pay attention to personal force, and they have no experience in such a super-large-scale arrangement.

The power of the Song crossbow was extremely powerful, and the range was far beyond that of ordinary bows and arrows, and in a moment, I only heard the screams in front of me, and I don't know how many Dongying warriors fell in a pool of blood.

"Song Jun's bow and crossbow are so powerful!" When he saw an arrow piercing the chests of the two samurai one after another, Oda Mitsukei was taken aback.

It's just that he can't retreat at this moment, and he continues to rush forward with the samurai!

The formation of the 30,000 Song army was changing rapidly, and the Song army on both wings had pressed up, and the Song army completely surrounded thousands of warriors from the front, and the roar of bows and crossbows resounded in the sky.

By the time Oda Mitsukei rushed to the Song army, there were less than five hundred samurai left beside him!

The five hundred warriors roared and rushed forward, and the Song army rushed towards them without fear!

The Dongying warriors fought separately, the katana in their hands was unusually sharp, and the Song army cooperated with each other, they used pure military killing techniques, countless spears stabbed forward together in an instant, the spears in front stopped, and countless spears stabbed forward together in the back row!

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the Toei samurai fell in a pool of blood, including Oda Mitsukei, who also fell there like any ordinary Toei samurai at this moment, stiff!

At this moment, the city gate in the west was completely opened, and the Song army rushed into the city of Kyoto with a roar!

In the east, Wang Gui has also led a large army into the city at this moment! To the south, Wu Luan's army has also entered the city!

Dongying in this era is simply vulnerable in front of the strong army of the Central Plains! The Song army launched an attack from the morning and broke through the largest, most prosperous and strongest Kyoto Castle in less than an hour!

The heavy rain is still falling, and the city is even more chaotic, and the screams of women and children can be heard in the city, and the vast majority of Dongying civilians are hurrying to find a safe place to hide at this moment!

More than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Song army continued to advance forward in battalions and regiments!

They were also surprised by the size of Kyoto, which is no less than Yanjing City, but most of Kyoto is a poor people's cellar, which is completely different from Yanjing.

Wu Jue and Wang Gui respectively led 10,000 elite soldiers towards the Dongying Palace, and when they surrounded the Dongying Palace, hundreds of Dongying people walked out of the palace, and they knelt down in the rain!

The young man in the lead is none other than Emperor Toei Toba, and next to him is a young woman, who is the Empress Fujiwara Zhangzi, the biological daughter of Fujiwara Izumi! On the other side of him is an old man in a dragon robe, this person is the "Emperor" of Dongying, known as the Emperor of Baihe in history! The situation in Dongying is somewhat similar to that of Dali, the emperor has no real power, and from the ninth century to the twelfth century, the vast majority of emperors abdicated early and were called the emperors.

Behind them were the rest of the Dongying nobles and ministers.

"Get up!" Looking at these people in front of him, Wu Jue nodded and said lightly.

He speaks Chinese, but the Emperor Toei, the Emperor of France, the nobles, and the ministers in front of him can all understand him! Like Goryeo, the Dongying aristocracy generally learned Chinese from an early age, and Chinese was the official language of ancient Japan! Historically, it was not until the early years of the Ming Dynasty that the Toei shogunate adopted Japanese as the official language.

These Dongying monarchs stood up, but all of them had worried expressions on their faces, and they didn't know how the Song army would treat them.

"Come on, take care of them, and send them to Yanjing tomorrow! General Wang, I got news of Wu Gong before I came! Wu Jue said.

"Oh, how's he doing now?" Wang Gui said in surprise.

"He's all right, this kid, he hasn't come back yet, damn it! He's still exploring the seas! Ay! Wu Jue said.

"It is also the responsibility of our navy to explore the territory of the North Sea, and he can be regarded as carrying out the orders of the military department." Wang Gui said with a smile.

"Forget it, don't talk about this kid, General Wang, in addition to the emperor, Dongying still has fifteen most powerful lords, five of which are north of Kyoto, you lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to the north to clear these five lords, and I will lead troops to clear the ten lords in the south!" Wu Jue said.

"Good!" Wang Gui nodded.

"If anyone dares to resist our army, there will be no mercy! We have just entered Dongying, a chaotic country that is about to bring them to their knees with the sword in our hands! Before sending troops, the military department had collected intelligence in Dongying for many years, and the people of Dongying were the most obedient to power! The only way to deal with this country, this people, is to be tough, to subdue them completely, and then they will die for us! After the defeat of Dongying, it may take a long time to implement military management, and then the Government Council will truly turn this place into a province of my Great Song Dynasty! Wu Jue said.

"Understood." Wang Gui nodded.

Wu Jue entered the Dongying Palace, although the area of this palace is not large, but the construction is very peculiar, full of Dongying flavor.

Looking at the scene here, he was thinking about the way for the Government Council to govern Dongying! In fact, in this era, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty far exceeded that of Dongying, and the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty was better than that of Dongying for nearly a thousand years, and many people in the upper echelons of Dongying had a close heart to the Great Song Dynasty, and many Dongying nobles were even eager to join the Great Song Dynasty and become a member of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were also some Dongying nobles who were eager to let the Great Song Dynasty directly manage Dongying, and these Dongying nobles could use it.

"Dongying is far overseas, if you want to govern Dongying, you must pay attention to shipping! In the future, this sea freight will become more and more important! Wu Jue said secretly.

Early the next morning, Emperor Dongying, Emperor Fa, and the rest of the royal family were escorted by more than 2,000 Song troops to Wakafjord, and soon after they were sent to Yanjing City!

Although Emperor Toei does not have many rights, he is an important symbol of the existence of the country! In the chaotic city of Toei, the reason why many people regard this place as a whole country is precisely because there is an emperor who has existed from ancient times to the present day! Now that the country has lost its emperor, countless nobles and samurai will no longer have spiritual support, which is also of great benefit to the Great Song Dynasty's rule of Dongying.

******

In the eleventh year of Xuanwu, the Great Song Dynasty carried out two wars of annihilation in the north and south directions, Annan and Dongying.

The Song army was strong, and the battle to destroy the country seemed to be very easy, but after that, in order to stabilize the form of these two countries, it cost a huge amount, and the amount of resources used by the Government Council was beyond imagination.

In winter, the Mongols invaded south again, and the Song army was still mainly defensive! Li Xianzhong and Liu Qi, who were stationed in Shangjing and Zhongjing, repeatedly asked for war, Han Shizhong's troops in Western Xia also continued to ask for war, and even Yue Yun, Liang Hao and others under Yue Fei in Liaodong also secretly wrote to ask for war, but the imperial court had already consumed too much strength in order to stabilize Annan and Dongying, and it was really unable to go north in a short period of time.

After receiving the reply from the Government Council and the Military Department, hundreds of thousands of troops in the north had no choice but to continue training, and many generals vented their grievances on the soldiers and trained the soldiers fiercely.

The Chinese New Year's Eve of the eleventh year of Xuanwu had arrived, and there was once again a noisy celebration outside, and Zhao Chen was with many ministers of the Government Council to summarize the gains and losses of the year.

"Your Majesty, last year, the area of cultivated land in the world increased from 800 million mu to 1 billion mu! The grain yield per mu has also increased from 2 stones in the past to nearly 2.5 stones now. Hu Quan, Minister of Agriculture, stood up and said.

In the modern society of later generations, China's cultivated land area reached 1.8 billion mu, but that was the cultivated land area under the condition of a population of 1.4 billion, and now the national population is only about 80 million, and the cultivated land area has reached more than half of the later generations, so the cultivated land area is enough! It's just that now the yield per mu of grain is much lower than in later generations!

Ershi is about 200 catties, which is the average level of grain in the Song Dynasty! However, in just a few years, because of the overhaul of water conservancy and the production of a large number of farming tools, the yield per mu of land has increased greatly, and now it has reached 250 catties. Of course, compared with later generations, there is still a lot of room for growth in the yield per mu of land.

"This year, the grain stocks in various places are close to 100 million stones, which is enough for the world to use for a year!" Hu Quan said again.

"So much!" The guards next to him all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Next year, the Ministry of Agriculture is ready to promote Li Yi's cultivation technology of two crops a year in the entire Jiangnan area, if such cultivation technology is popularized in large quantities, the world's grain output will inevitably double again, and at that time, there will be no famine in the world! In addition, there are some other new agricultural technologies, we are ready to promote one after another, after all these are promoted, both in the north and south, the yield per mu of land has increased greatly! Hu Quan's face showed a hint of excitement and said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

He couldn't help but smile on his face! After the problem of food is solved, a large number of peasants can come out of the land and devote themselves to handicrafts or commerce, and then the Chinese civilization will make great strides forward!

"Your Majesty, in the past year, the number of various workshops in the world has increased by more than 100,000, Yanjing, Tianjin Wei, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Sichuan and Shu, Quanzhou, the trade is unusually prosperous, a large number of tea, porcelain, dyes, silk, etc. are shipped to various places, especially in Tianjin Wei and Quanzhou, and a variety of commodities are shipped overseas! Last year, our commercial tax was only 30 million yuan, and this year it has reached 50 million yuan! Qin Hui, Minister of Commerce, stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, now that the commercial tax has been increasing almost year after year, the Government Council intends to abolish the salt tax, what do you think?" Wang Shu said.

"Yes! The Council of Ministers has made a charter, and after reading it, I will decree that it will be implemented. Zhao Chen said.

In ancient China, salt tax was the most important revenue of all dynasties! In the Song Dynasty, the revenue from the salt tax accounted for one-fifth of the national treasury, and at the most it even reached a quarter! One pound of salt, the salt tax exceeds the cost of salt production dozens of times, this is the first naked plundering of property from the hands of the people! Because the salt tax is extremely high, there are many people who sell illegal salt, many famous Chinese figures such as the martial saint Guan Yu are selling illegal salt, in the Song Dynasty, selling more than 20 catties of illegal salt is the crime of beheading! In ancient China, poor families who could not eat salt abounded!

Now that the salt tax is exempted, the imperial court will certainly have to collect a lot less revenue, but the price of salt for the people will be reduced dozens of times in an instant, and the people will get tangible benefits.

If this matter spreads, I am afraid that the world will be shaken again, because this is really a benefit for the people.

"Your Majesty, at least one public school has been established in 1,500 states and counties across the country, and this year among the 136 larger states and counties, we have ensured that two public schools exist! This year, the imperial court has issued 153,671 copies of teaching materials, all of which have been distributed to public and private schools in various places! The imperial court's agricultural and commercial taxes are constantly increasing, and we also have enough money to do this! Next year, the Faculty plans to double the number of public schools, and several ministers of the Ministry of Finance have calculated that the state can afford such expenses. Yu Yunwen, Minister of the School Department, said.

Outside, there were more voices of celebration from the people, and in the House of Ministers, many ministers were still reporting on the year's achievements.

Listening to these numbers, Zhao Chen really felt that an unprecedented power appeared in this era! This country is politically clear, economically prosperous, people's livelihood is stable, national cohesion is extremely strong, education and science and technology are developed, the military is strong, trade is prosperous, the population accounts for one-fifth of the world, and more importantly, this country has a variety of advanced systems that only appeared in later generations, and now this country is developing rapidly at a speed that Zhao Chen himself could not have expected!

However, the country that he created with his own hands is still only operating in East Asia, and has not left the traditional region of China.
