Chapter 0391. Exile, the state of the Japanese affair

This year, the winter in the Wa Kingdom was particularly cold. [This site has a new domain name. initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

I don't know if it's the strife in the world that makes God angry, even if there are a few snow disasters in the usually warm western country, plus Asuka Jing has experienced a rebellion, and the western army that has just ended the Battle of Sekigahara had to withdraw back, as a general, Li You is very active in participating in the disaster relief, appeasing the frightened ministers and Tang tourists.

The vigorous and resolute action of the Western Army and the victory of the Battle of Sekigahara once again appeased the hearts of the people, and the Tang Dynasty tourists who were curious to hear about the war were not less, but there were a few more tourists, and the tourists drove the economy of Jinnai, coupled with the reward for their military achievements, even the old aristocratic ministers were appeased, and the Western Kingdom returned to stability.

But because of this, the number of casualties in the Battle of Sekigahara has forever become a mystery, some say it is 100,000, some say it is 200,000, and there are even rumors that there are millions of corpses buried there.

In November, in the colorful snow, in addition to welcoming the Tang Dynasty to come, the rich local tyrants who took a hot spring vacation, the three uninvited guests disturbed the peace here, kneeling at the gate of the Bird Palace, the old Xiaoye girl, the first person in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Xiao Yechen, held the Tiancong Cloud Sword high above his head because of the high trembling, and on the side, holding the monk Wu of the Yasaka Qiong Hook Jade and the Eight Mirrors, Nan Chongzi was even more faceless, holding things above his head, and buried his face in the snow.

As Li Jie said, how to take it back and how to get it back!

On the first day of November, Emperor Tenchi's Eastern Imperial Court formally surrendered, and two days later, the Western Army marched into Hachiman Castle, the headquarters of the Eastern Imperial Court.

It is said that it is the imperial court of the Eastern Kingdom, but in fact, after Li You rode into the city, it was a desolation in the eyes, as if he had just experienced a ****, the originally rich city of Meinong Kingdom was in ruins at this time, it seemed that there had been internal strife, there were ruins everywhere, and the charred black corpse was half-buried in the snow that had just fallen.

The samurai guarded the streets in an orderly manner, forming a human wall, as the general of the military and political affairs, Li You stood tall and strode towards Hachimangu Shrine under the cluster, and the surviving Japanese people in the city along the way were like wandering spirits around the street, cowardly and greedily looking at the Western samurai with bamboo armor on their backs.

At this time, it is said that it is the imperial court of the eastern country, in fact, it is an exaggeration, after the defeat of the Battle of Sekigahara, the offensive of the Tang army has completely frightened the courage of the eastern princes, hundreds of thousands of troops fled from the battlefield, and in fact, there are only more than 10,000 people who returned to Hachiman Castle.

The huge Hachiman Palace, which was actually guarded by only a few hundred old and weak soldiers, and less than a thousand palace ministers, shivered in the cold wind and hugged Emperor Tenchi to greet him.

"The eldest brother of the guilty ministers meets the emperor's envoy."

Compared with the previous momentum of being sharp and compelling, the eldest brother at this time is like a different person, his hair is unkempt, more than half white, his face is full of wrinkles when he is only less than thirty years old, his eyes are cloudy and his clothes are also tattered, it seems that he has not changed since he escaped from the battlefield, and with the support of Zhongchen's sickle foot, he finally knelt down in the snow with difficulty and bowed down.

"Brother Zhong, the Erben royal family, should have served the emperor, but after his death, he was bold, coveted the artifact, assassinated the minister, plotted to usurp the throne, set off a rebellion, and created boundless killing, which is a heinous crime......"

Wu is basically carried out almost in progress, the victory or defeat has been decided, as the long history of the King of Qi, Yan Weizhen sat in a scholar robe, and stepped forward to recite the edict that had been prepared in a dashing manner, and the murderous edict listened to a group of followers who followed the eldest brother and the ministers were all trembling, only the middle minister still knelt calmly beside the eldest brother.

Seeing that the eldest brother had completely lost his fighting spirit, and the opponents in front of him who had been playing for several months were really not opponents now, Yan Weizhen was chattering endlessly, Li You finally waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay, let's not talk much about red tape, big brother Zhong, Zhongchen Kazu, this king will escort you to Chang'an and wait for the verdict of the imperial court, can you wait?"

Li You said this, Zhongchen Kamazu and a large group of Eastern ministers were relieved, and even Zhongchen Kamazu himself showed a trace of yearning, as the capital of civilization at that time, Chang'an was a yearning for even the Zhongchen Kazuzu who was in the Wa Kingdom, and the Tang Dynasty would never execute the captured monarchs and ministers of other countries, which can be regarded as the best placement.

"The sinners are convinced!" In the neat bowing, all the ministers of the Eastern Kingdom lowered their proud heads in the past.

A few four-wheeled carriages filled the remaining ministers of the eastern kingdom after the split, even the former emperor did not have much good treatment, but there was an extra old blanket, and the court bigwigs who were originally surprised by the three million people of the eastern country were simply loaded and dragged out of Hachiman Castle by the carriage, and a desolate feeling permeated everyone, sitting in the car, some of the ministers actually howled and cried.

The carriage creaked and slowly left Hachiman Castle, but when passing by the city gate, there were some twists and turns, and the surviving citizens of Hachiman City were driven out by a large number of Western samurai.

In the puzzled gaze of the eldest brother, a young woman who was bound and sturdy was pushed to the execution ground amid the doubtful discussions of the residents of Hachiman Castle, and in an instant, the eldest brother's originally cloudy and distracted eyes widened.

It is indeed the most unexpected scene of the whole game, Zanra Tsuno, the third daughter of the eldest brother of Emperor Tenchi, no one would have imagined that such a delicate princess could actually lurk among the people, and finally sat on the position of the daimyo of the Western Army, and almost rewrote the situation of the war.

In order to win over his younger brother the prince of the sea to support the coup d'Γ©tat, the eldest brother promised her to the sea man as his uncle, from the first year of Emperor Qi Ming, the princess ran away from home because of this matter, no one expected that the little princess would become the leader of a traitor by herself.

According to normal history, this imperial daughter would eventually marry her uncle Damito, and later ascended to the throne with the victory of Damiren in the struggle for imperial power, and then became the third female emperor of the Wa Kingdom after a series of games, and wrote heavy poems in the Heian Dynasty, but unfortunately, Li Jie appeared before this.

After capturing Asuka Castle, Tsumono Sanryo pursued Emperor Kotoku while making the most wrong move, summoning the old ministers of the Kotoku Dynasty and entrusting Asuka Castle to Soga Hinata, on the one hand, she overestimated Soga Hinata's resistance, and on the other hand, she underestimated the impact of the Tang Dynasty's coming for a few months.

In the direct traffic of the Tang Dynasty, the original scarce Tang goods enriched the Wa market, and similarly, the varnish, gold, silver, copper, wood, medicine, deerskin, and a lot of things that were special products of the Wa Kingdom were also favored by the Tang merchants and nobles.

In the past, even if the secretary of state made a new dress, he had to weigh it, two meals a day, and now all kinds of wine and food are endless, you can eat how you want, you can eat as much as you want, you can wear silk and satin casually, politically, you still enjoy the privilege of entering the office, and the secretary of state at the bottom is in series, and it has already been all the tea and tea Ji, and Su I Hinata, who has become a frightened bird, set up an ambush and sneak attack without thinking about it, pitiful, it is rare that a female tiger will not be defeated on the battlefield and easily taken down at the banquet.

No matter how brilliant the future is, it will turn into smoke and dust, and it almost subverts his efforts, both Li You and the Western Dynasty hate Zanra Tsuno, and directly denied her royal identity, and beheaded her in the capital of the Eastern Kingdom as a traitor Uesugi Kenshin, and the people of Hachiman Castle were talking about it, and he was wearing the gorgeous dress of the day he was caught, and Zanra was pushed to the execution platform with his hands tied behind his back.

is also familiar with the heart, the eldest brother stared at the round eyes for a moment, and the eyes of the cormorant Zanliang also looked over, and the eyes met for a moment, and it was rare to show a rich bitterness on the beautiful face outside the light gauze. In a panic, he stretched out his hand to the outside of the car, but looking at the Tang Army knight escorting him on horseback on the side of the road, a trace of cowardice climbed up his face, and the eldest brother finally retracted into the carriage.

The eyes were staggered, and the cormorant Zanliang, who was famous for her name as Kenshin Usugi, also closed her eyes, and the next moment, with the fierce and stern roar of the prison officer, Xueliang's big knife whistled and fell.

"The House of the Rising Suns wept for me!"

I didn't expect that when he was about to behead, Corno Sanliang actually raised his head and shouted again, and the head fell heavily to the ground with the words, blood splattered out, and a large group of Hachiman Castle citizens took a few steps back in a panic, women are always sympathetic, and the tragedy of the last scene is really lamented by many Hachiman Castle residents, but after a while, Cormorant Sanra was forgotten.

"The Tang people have sent rice to help!"

I don't know who shouted, and thousands of Hachimanjo Castle citizens all scattered in a hurry, rushing out with the sound, after all, compared to emotion, survival is still above.

"Alas, it's finally over."

Although it is a bit early to say this, there are still more than a dozen forces in the land of Kanto since the fall of the Eastern Imperial Court to stand on their own, and the war will continue, but no matter that force, troops, morale, orthodox name, and equipment are not the opponents of Li You, the general of Zhengyi, and it is a matter of time before the unification of the Japanese kingdom is unified.

Riding a horse at the gate of Hachiman Castle, Li You really felt a little lonely as a hero, and after sighing with emotion, Li You casually raised his horse whip and ordered: "Onimuro Fukushin, Lone appointed you as the governor of the Kanto region, leading the rank of the daimyo to conquer the Kanto heroes, and at the same time monitoring the daimyo of various countries, including Baekje Kingdom, can you do it?" ”

"The minister swears to die for the general's allegiance!"

In the envious eyes of the generals under the command of the Qi Palace, Liang Mengbiao and other generals, the ghost room Fushin who had just joined the Qi Palace, knelt down on one knee excitedly, and promised loudly, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, this will be done, Echigo Yuzen in the north of the Wa Kingdom was lent to the Baekje king Fuyufeng as a temporary residence in Baekje, and after the pacification of Kanto in the future, the shogunate will help Baekje obtain Hokkaido as a permanent territory, and the ghost family will be loyal to the shogunate as a condition, which can not only achieve what he wants, but also have a bright future, It's no wonder that Fushino, who is as calm as a ghost, can't help but tremble with excitement.

"Hey, Kanto Commander, if you want to say that this official name is still Lao Jiu's idea." Looking back at the desolate Hachiman Castle in the heavy snow, Li You waved his horsewhip with emotion and ordered: "Send a message to Lao Jiu, the Eastern Imperial Court has successfully taken it, ask him what to do next?" ”

"This ......" Yan Weizhen, who had been following Li You's horse, couldn't help but hesitate, and then carefully bowed his hand and said: "Your Highness, the King of Min began to return to Min by boat when you were open, and now you have to make your own decisions about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom." ”

"What?"

Full of astonishment, Li You jumped off the horse directly, but looking at Yan Weizhen nodding affirmatively, a different kind of relief suddenly bloomed in Li You's chest, indeed, today all this was won by Li Jie for him, but with such a capable younger brother pressing, it is also a sense of shadow, now, Li Jie is really gone!

"Waha, the order, conscription of 200,000 samurai, conquest of Kanto, and then select the beauties of the whole country, enrich the harem for Lone, and now the country listens to Lone!"

Yan Weizhen was dizzy for a while, Li You didn't look like an arrogant head and laughed, the majesty of the general was gone, and after he laughed for a long time, Yan Weizhen reluctantly took out another official document from his sleeve, and carefully handed it to Li You: "This is what the King of Min left for His Highness before leaving." ”

"Haha, this Lao Jiu also left a letter of identification for Lonely, the forehead is ......"

Laughing wildly and opening the official document, Li You's smile immediately froze there, and there was a big war mercenary fee title and big IOU at the beginning of the official letter in hand, and then how much was the total cost of Zhenguan Tongbao at the bottom, and Li You's head was about to explode when he looked at the Arabic numerals.

"Tell Lao Jiu, this general of Zhengyi Lao Tzu is not doing it!!"

In the snow, Li You's screams spread far and wide, shaking the snowdrifts of Hachiman Castle and falling from ......the city walls.
