Zhang Hongfan and other generals of the Yuan army, as the vanguard of Cheng Yue, under the leadership of Shimazu Jiujing, immediately advanced inland after crossing the sea, destroying the city all the way, and driving straight in. What is difficult to conquer in one fell swoop is left to Ali Hague and Zhang Gui, who are following behind, and they will solve it with artillery.

Cheng Yue and Angier conquered Hakata Bay and Akama Pass respectively, and marched together on the island of Honshu, and the troops were directed at Kamakura and Kyoto, and the flying feet (messengers) sent by the princes from all over the country sent urgent documents to the Rokupola Prefecture in Kyoto one after another, and the matter was so important that the Rokupola Prefecture did not dare to conceal anything, and while transferring the letter to Kamakura, it also made an exception to pick up a few important letters and gave a copy to the Kyoto Imperial Court.

This copy was handed over to Emperor Kameyama, and the Kyoto court was shocked and frightened, and there was a lot of noise inside and outside, and the ministers of the court and the central government wrote to fiercely criticize the Kamakura shogunate for its misdeeds and even provoked strong enemies.

The news immediately spread to the people, and all the grain stores in Kyoto were looted with rice, and the price of everything in the market increased several times.

Men searched for weapons to protect themselves and their families, and women of all appearance prepared dirty clothes in case the Song and Mongols attacked.

Surprisingly, the Emperor's court did not escape from Kyoto, so that the people of Kyoto could find some comfort, and Kyoto would not be too chaotic.

At the moment of the catastrophe, Emperor Kameyama urgently convened a meeting of the ministers and courtiers in the government to discuss countermeasures, and not only all the current courtiers headed by Sekihaku Takaji Kanhei were present, but also the former Sekihaku Nijo Yoshimi, Ichijo Shijing, the former Taisei Minister Todaiji Minoki, and the former Left Minister Toshiin Minoru and other old ministers were also invited to attend the meeting. Emperor Kameyama even took the initiative to invite Emperor Gofukakusa to discuss with him, which shows how far he has been forced.

Interestingly, Emperor Kameyama did not invite people from Kyoto's Rokubora Prefecture to come. The Rokubora Prefecture was busy preparing for war and did not come to question, and this was the first time in decades that no one from the Shogunate had been present when the imperial court was discussing national affairs.

In the Qingliang Hall, many Japanese ministers and ministers gathered together, and the two brothers, the Emperor and the Emperor, sat at the top, and the Emperor was still young. It is not appropriate to discuss important matters and did not attend.

Emperor Kameyama was the first to speak: "All of you have seen the urgent notice, right?" Cheng Yue easily broke through the fortifications of Hakata Bay in only seven days, and completely annihilated the 120,000 troops of Kyushu led by Fujiwara Economic Resources, and Shimazu surrendered for a long time, and has now crossed the Seto Inland Sea and is heading to Kyoto. The other main force of Cheng Yue, led by Angier, broke through the heavy defense of Chima Pass in a single attack. Rush towards Kamakura. The countries south of Kyoto are doing their best to resist the attack of Cheng Yue and Angier, and the shogunate is also actively dispatching troops to stop Cheng Yue, but the shogunate is behind Kyoto, and it is Kyoto that bears the brunt. Someone wrote to ask the emperor to take refuge in Ruishan, but with Cheng Yue's strength, I'm afraid it's useless to hide anywhere, can I only wait for death? I would like to know what you think. ”

As soon as Emperor Kameyama's words were finished. There was silence in the temple. Cheng Yue's strength was far beyond their expectations. Before that. Everyone thought that with the protection of Hakata Bay and Chima Pass, coupled with the heavy troops gathered in both places, they could at least kill and injure the Song and Yuan armies to the greatest extent, so that they could not cause trouble to Japan. However, people are not as good as heaven, in front of Cheng Yue. The fortifications that the Japanese were proud of had no effect at all, and the heavy troops in both places were basically wiped out!

How many troops can the shogunate muster muster up? Lakh? Two hundred thousand? What if you can make it up? After the defense base, he is not Cheng Yue's opponent, who dares to say that he can turn defeat into victory in Kamakura?

Regardless of whether the shogunate wins or loses, Kyoto is likely to be unable to be saved. The shogunate could recruit troops from all over the country to defend Kamakura, but where did the emperor get his power and troops? With only the pitiful strength of the samurai of Rokubora and Kinai. Once the southern checkpoints can't stop Cheng Yue, Kyoto will be exposed to Cheng Yue's troops, and who will be able to save the emperor and ministers at that time?

Escape from Kyoto, it's easy to say, where to escape? It's still a dead end to be overtaken, and it's almost certainly going to be overtaken! This is Japan's predicament, surrounded by the sea, and there is no escape.

Seeing that no one answered, the Emperor of Kameyama sighed softly. He also knew in his heart that unless there was a miracle, in a few days, Cheng Yue would definitely appear in the imperial palace in Kyoto and dictate to them. How should the Japanese imperial family behave themselves? Will Cheng Yue leave them a way out?

After a long silence, Yoshimi Nijo finally broke the silence and said: "Your Majesty, the messenger sent by Cheng Yue last time made it very clear that he was assassinated by Fujiwara Economists in Lin'an, and he was very angry, so he asked Japan to compensate 20 million taels of silver, if not, he would lead his troops to attack Japan." The old minister thought that the reason why Cheng Yue invaded on a large scale was mostly for money. Ask His Majesty the Emperor to collect all kinds of gold and silver artifacts, take out as many as possible, and then explain to Cheng Yue that this matter has nothing to do with the royal family, it is all the Shogunate and Zhenxi pursuing Fujiwara Economic Resources on their own, Cheng Yue lacks a suitable excuse, it is difficult to be unfavorable to the royal family, at most let him plunder. ”

Dedaiji Shiji said: "The minister thinks otherwise. Cheng Yue did not only send the Song army this time, but joined forces with the Mongols to invade. Have you forgotten? Three years earlier, after the Battle of Bunei, Kublai Khan had sent an envoy to Japan to claim the title of vassal, but the envoy was killed by Hojo Tokimune. With the arrogance of the Mongols, how could they be willing to plunder only once? Most of them want revenge, at least the Hojo clan must die before they stop. ”

As soon as the words of the real foundation of Dedaiji came out, the monarchs and ministers of the hall were all in good spirits!

All right! If the Song and Mongols were able to kill the abominable Hojo clan, it would be good news for the imperial family, right? The royal family is not at fault in this matter, and they can try to reach a compromise with Cheng Yue!

Ying Si Jian Ping said in a deep voice: "Lord Dedaji means that Cheng Yue is wealthy, and the Mongols are here for hatred?" ”

Before the real foundation of Deda Temple could answer, a real scripture had been categorically said: "I don't know Cheng Yue, but Mongolia is definitely not here for hatred!" Kublai Khan wanted us to be vassals in Japan, but Hojo Tokimune killed the envoys he sent. Now that he and Cheng Yue are fighting together, how can he be satisfied if he only kills Hojo Shizong? Subjectivity is a must! As you can imagine, there must be other conditions, but we don't understand them now. ”

Emperor Hou Shencao said sharply: "Among the people here, who is willing to pay tribute to the Mongols?!" ”

The crowd was silent again. (To be continued.) )
