After Xiao Ming and Wu Song converged in Nara, the troops were directed towards Kyoto, while Yang Qizhong was circling in circles with 20,000 troops, and all the countries he encountered were all destroyed, and the place he passed was in a mess, and after learning the news of Wu Song's meeting with Xiao Ming, he also rushed to Nara on the third day.

Wu Song went to meet Xiao Ming and was still commensurate with the lord, Xiao Ming helped him up, and asked about the results of the recent battle, Wu Song told Xiao Ming the reason for his slow progress, that was because he had been operating in Kyushu for several years, and the results were very good, because he also married a Japanese noble woman as a wife, so the local Japanese in Kyushu treated Wu Song very friendly and respected his wishes, but this caused the hatred of Honshu Island against Kyushu.

So at the beginning, when Wu Song landed in Honshu, he was met with strong resistance, but after the failure of the attack on Wu Song's Tiger Guard, they turned to target the local requisitioned troops in Kyushu, and these people were basically all to transport supplies and supplies for Wu Song, and suffered heavy losses for a while.

In order to avoid large losses, Wu Song had no choice but to act step by step, acting slowly, and the situation he encountered was very special, that is, the hatred of the local Japanese in Benzhou towards them turned out to be all, regardless of whether they were high or low and good! This is different from what Xiao Ming didn't encounter.

When Xiao Ming landed in Hokkaido, the local residents didn't even know who they were! Many people followed behind the ass to watch the excitement, and the local class contradictions were also exploited by Xiao Ming, so he made slow progress in Hokkaido but achieved great results, while Wu Song encountered resistance as soon as he landed on the island.

Their resistance was completely a kind of common hatred, not only the participation of officials and nobles, but also a large number of civilians, and in the absence of spears and swords, many people actually came with bamboo guns, which Wu Song was quite annoyed by! He then took very drastic measures.

For those who came to resist him, whether they were from the city-states and manors, or from the wilderness and villages, Wu Song ordered all shelling to raze them to the ground, which was an act of revenge, but the resistance not only did not stop, but intensified, almost becoming a prairie fire, in desperation, Wu Song had to give up revenge and let the army stick to the port, and he and the Tiger Guards brought enough supplies for ten days to rush to the place Xiao Ming predetermined to meet.

All the generals gathered, Wu Song's light artillery regiment plus Yelusha's heavy artillery regiment were Xiao Ming's main weapons, and the missing ammunition and weapon supplies of Wu Song's department could be replenished here by Xiao Ming, thanks to the several large ports controlled by Xiao Ming after entering the state, and also established a steady supply line.

Xiao Ming held a meeting to analyze the situation, seeing that it was October, before the winter came, it was necessary to end the Japanese soldiers first, from the current point of view, it was only the navy, and Xiao Ming spent countless money! This kind of war is all about money, so in the next step, Xiao Ming must make up for the entire deficit in Japan.

What is the idea of Ping Qingsheng, Xiao Ming is not clear now, with the current comprehensive national strength of Japan, he is not able to organize a large-scale frontal defense at all, it is just to send food to Xiao Ming, but if he does not defend and let Xiao Ming continue like this, it will not take a few days to break through Kyoto, and even if he surrenders, it will not end well.

In view of the kind of sneak attack that Yang Qizhong encountered, which was dominated by masked assassins, Xiao Ming felt that it was necessary to guard against it, this was an organized ninja operation, and those assassins were all ninjas, but the use of ninjas in large quantities had already exposed their strength, and they had also suffered heavy losses, but for the slaughter of Yang Qizhong in the later stage, Yang Qizhong and Wu Song were very uneasy.

Wu Song also did such a thing in the process of entering the new army, they thought that Xiao Ming needed a large number of captive laborers on Fusang Island, and he killed so many people, Xiao Ming would definitely be unhappy, because Xiao Ming had always done this.

But Xiao Ming didn't mean to reproach them, and even said: "Kill them, kill them, those people should be killed!" ”

The entire Japanese archipelago is only more than 1.5 million households, with a total population of less than 5 million, just because of Xiao Ming's words, yes, at least nearly two million people were killed, if Xiao Ming used the Jurchens to slaughter the Goryeo people, then this time it was he who did it himself!

Every great migration of ethnic groups is often accompanied by a great vendetta of races, although in the near future there have been Mongols slaughtered nearly 100 million people in the world, but that belongs to the brutal people's animal nature, if you want to make a place your territory, without the slightest resistance, killing the local population is the best way.

But Xiao Ming's actions are not like this, subjectively he doesn't want to be so cruel, he just wants to remove the entire Japanese nation through his big immigration plan, and then let those barbaric nomads live on this island country, which is a man-made change and a kind of punishment.

But the development of things often exceeds their expectations, and Yang Qizhong and Han Lu are murderous people, and now with Wu Song, the corpses of the entire Japanese archipelago are all over the field, and the gloomy wind is also expected! But when Xiao Ming thought of Ding Jianpeng letting himself not have the kindness of a woman, he didn't care about these things!

Because the other party used ninja assassination, Xiao Ming ordered everyone to strengthen their vigilance, send sentry patrols in the military tent, and control the lights at night, and the camp tent of the main general must be brightly lit within thirty steps, and at the same time, the hot air balloon is lifted off and kerosene is used as a lighting tool to implement uninterrupted lighting on the ground to eliminate any dead ends.

Kyushu was very profitable in its economic and trade dealings with the Great Song Dynasty, and did not have to pay taxes at all during the reign of Wu Song, and of course did not have to pay any money to the Japanese emperor's court, so they were the closest people to the Song people, and Wu Song brought a lot of local soldiers from Kyushu this time, and these people were used as spies by Xiao Ming.

The news they found soon reached Xiao Ming, and it turned out that after waiting for the will of the Great Song Dynasty to fail, he finally lost his patience, and he gathered tens of thousands of Yulin guards from the Ten Kingdoms of and the Emperor's internal guard, plus all the people of the Kansai Samurai Regiment, there were 130,000, and they were ready to fight Xiao Ming head-on.

In addition, Taira Kiyomori did not send ninjas to assassinate Xiao Ming's generals, but because Xiao Ming was very well guarded, the ninjas had no choice but to give up, and after he prepared his troops and horses, he finally set up a position on the Ueno Plain north of Kyoto, ready to fight!

Xiao Ming's total strength is less than 40,000 people, under his jurisdiction two artillery regiments, more than 20,000 heavy cavalry, more than 10,000 infantry, now the war is about to break out, but Xiao Ming sent someone to Ping Qingsheng to send a letter of persuasion to surrender, let him surrender completely, if he refuses to bear the consequences, the entire emperor's court and Japan will be destroyed!

The letter was written in Chinese, and the most important sentence of the letter was: "The kingdom of Erzhi is completely wiped out ......!" ”

After receiving the letter, Ping Qingsheng was also extremely hesitant, Xiao Ming's terrifying combat power he didn't know, in less than a month, Hokkaido and half of Honshu had been killed in his hands, although he had more than 100,000 horses, but in addition to the Kansai Samurai Regiment, there were only tens of thousands of people left in the Emperor's internal guard!

Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the ten countries of, but those civilian armed with swords and spears can play a limited role, and it will be very good if they do not surrender on the battlefield at that time, and they have no support in their hands, and now Xiao Ming is about to come to the city, and he blames himself for being confused for a while and wants to assassinate Xiao Ming.

And all the princes and ministers of the entire court, as well as the emperor and the emperor, were all in a panic, many people advocated surrender, as long as Xiao Ming retained the emperor's heir, any other conditions could be agreed, and now the entire court was the people of the Ping clan, what he didn't expect was that their rivals the Genji family were also about to move.

Taira Kiyomori is worthy of being an outstanding politician in the area, he knows deeply that if he surrenders, what will the whole of Japan face, to put it mildly, it must be the threat of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, but if he fights to the death, although he may be defeated, but there is still a glimmer of life, and as a samurai, even if he dies, he will still be allowed to die!

His speculative psychological initiative will make Japan to a situation of no return, but no one dares to oppose him, Ping Qingsheng wants to delay as much as possible, he also has a one-ten-thousandth hope for the reply of the Song Dynasty, after receiving Xiao Ming's letter of persuasion, his reply is: "Let five days to discuss!" ”

Xiao Ming finally agreed to his request, he knew that this battle was inevitable, so the five days were just to increase the replenishment of weapons, ammunition and supplies, but just when he thought he would have to fight, a merchant ship suddenly turned from the Weihai base, and they brought a letter to Xiao Ming, a letter from Gaozong Zhaogou!

Gaozong said in the letter: "The country of Fusang has sent envoys to meet many times, claiming that the Great Song Dynasty has committed crimes for no reason, and the small country of Fusang Puer is ignorant and violates Tianwei!" In addition, to pay tribute to the heavenly kingdom, the descendants cannot be violated, and ask the Celestial Empire to stop the heavenly soldiers......! This is Zhao Gou telling Xiao Ming the reason, and then he gave Xiao Ming eye medicine, saying that the Taishi is not in the court, the national teacher is relied on, and as a hall of national celebration, the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet are not even absent, and I hope that Xiao Ming will return to the dynasty and so on!

The more Xiao Ming looked at this letter, the more angry he became, according to the convention, every time Xiao Ming stayed away from the court, Zhao Gou would find a traitorous minister to mess around around, this time I don't know who I found, if Zhao Gou himself is this kind of thought, then Japan doesn't know what a valuable gift Zhao Gou sent, so that Zhao Gou's hands are short, and he had to call back Xiao Ming to strike the army.

If Xiao Ming didn't listen to Zhao Gou's request, it was estimated that the next step would be to make an order, but he had been planning and deploying for so long, and the war against Japan had also ended in this way, so it was not easy for him to stop the army! Xiao Ming was angry but had to reply to the letter, he grabbed the pen and wrote a letter, and soon replied to Zhao Gou with a letter.

"The minister asked for leave to recuperate for half a year, but he was injured by the evil slaves, and now he led the family Ding warriors to teach the Japanese slaves a lesson, why is the big thing not over? At the end of the month, I will definitely return to the court to preside, please rest assured! ”

That means I'm just teaching me a lesson to the evil minions who hurt me, and I'm not making a big move! Your Majesty, don't make a big fuss, I will be in charge at the end of this month, and you won't give me another decree to give me a gold medal or something!

Thinking that Ping Qingsheng also got the edict of Gaozong Zhao Gou, after all, they also had an envoy in Kangjing, but Xiao Ming was thinking about how to fool Ping Qingsheng, and then the person who sent him the letter bowed down to Xiao Ming and said: "Master Xiao is on again, the villain came this time is a villain sent by Lord Xue, and he brought a batch of things with the ship, which was brought to you by Lord Gu of the Gu family's refining workshop, and you must be in a hurry!" ”

Xiao Mingqi said: "Are you from the pedestrian division?" What's it about? ”

The man said: "Master Xiao will know when you see it, please come with me"

The things that the man was carrying had been unloaded from the ship, and they were transported to the front line along the supply line established by Xiao Ming by carriage, thinking that Xue Bingchang and Gu Shouzhen had explained like this, and it must have been something that Xiao Ming needed recently, so that person did not dare to slack off, and supervised all the way to the front line.

When Xiao Ming saw that thing, he slapped his thigh and said, "Great, it's exactly the ...... I need!" ”
