"Guard the door, no one shall come in without my orders."

When Wu Hai and others made the emperor into a pig's head, Wu Shan came to a room alone and ordered his guards to guard the door and not allow anyone to enter.

Coming to a tatami mat, Wu Shan sat cross-legged and took off the iron helmet above his head, slowly turned it over, uncovered a layer of partition inside, and took out a letter.

Before this iron helmet set off, Zhu Gaoyu took it for a while, and when he returned it to him, Zhu Gaoyu confessed: "After breaking through Kyoto, take out the letter inside and do what is instructed inside." ”

Looking at the unsigned letter, Wu Shan fell silent.

Zhu Gaoyu also told him that if he didn't want to execute it after reading it, he would destroy the letter directly.

After so many ups and downs in officialdom, Wu Shan can naturally understand the meaning of the words.

The content of this letter is absolutely shocking, and even challenges the bottom line of human beings.

Refused, Wu Shan didn't think about it.

Zhu Gaoyu handed him this letter, which represents his absolute trust in him.

I have no family background, and I have no connections, and I have climbed to the level of school captain, which is already at the end.

If you want to rise one more level, or even get the ultimate goal knighthood of a soldier, there is almost no possibility.

Before Zhu Gaoyu left, he had promised to break through Kyoto City and ask him for an earl.

If a confidant dies, Zhu Gaoyu treats him with sincerity and gives him absolute trust, and Wu Shan will never live up to Zhu Gaoyu.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly opened the letter and took out the letter inside.

Wu Shan read the above content word by word, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

After reading the last word, Wu Shan silently lit the letter and quietly watched the letter burn.

The contents of the letter were not much different from what he had guessed.

He didn't know why His Highness hated the Wa Kingdom so much, as far as he knew, His Highness had lived in the palace since he was a child, and he had never been in contact with the Wa Kingdom, so there was no possibility of enmity at all.

But do these matter?

Unimportant.

No matter how the Wako offended His Highness, His Highness said that they deserved to die, and they deserved to die.

After the letter was burned, Wu Shan put the iron helmet on his head and prepared to carry out the order.

And he's ready to do it in his own name.

His Royal Highness is a golden body, and he will have great achievements in the future, and he cannot be tainted with such a bad name.

As a subordinate, it is a matter of duty to share the pressure for the monarch.

Maybe His Highness doesn't care about this, but as a subordinate, he can't ignore it.

"Captain, we've caught their emperor."

As soon as Wu Shan got up, the voice of his younger brother Wu Hai sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

As soon as Wu Shan's words fell, the door was opened, and Wu Hai and the veteran third walked in happily dragging a pig's head.

"Brother, this is their emperor, good fellow, he hid well enough, he was hidden in the secret room, if it wasn't for a brother who accidentally touched the switch, he might have run away."

Wu Hai was very excited, and excitedly told Wu Shan about the process of catching the emperor.

The third child was also excited, looking at Wu Shan expectantly, waiting for him to nod.

As long as Wu Shan nodded, the credit of their team of brothers would not be able to run.

However, Wu Shan's next action made the two stunned in place.

Wu Shan ignored the excited Wu Hai, crossed the two of them and the Emperor Chengguang on the ground like a dead pig, closed the door and opened it.

Then he reflexively pulled out the dagger at his waist, and under the bewildered expressions of the two, he stabbed directly into the chest of Emperor Chengguang.

"Brother, what are you doing, this is ...... Woohoo......"

As soon as the surprised Wu Hai spoke, he was covered by the third child next to him.

"Is there anyone else with him?"

Wu Shan calmly wiped the dagger and asked the third child who covered Wu Hai's mouth.

"And a minister and his queen." The third replied in a whisper.

Wu Shan nodded, "You go and dispose of them and clean up the corpses for me." ”

The third child nodded, let go of Wu Hai, and walked out quickly.

"Brother, they're ......"

"I know!"

"Then why did you kill him, it's your credit."

"I don't need them to prove my credit."

"But if you kill him, how can Your Highness explain it, in case Your Highness blames him, it will be in vain for the brothers to suffer for so long."

Wu Shan looked up at Wu Hai and said seriously: "The moment we set off, our credit has already been decided. ”

Without waiting for Wu Hai to ask, Wu Shan continued: "Xiaohai, you have to remember that if you are at the bottom of the officialdom, you may be able to use merit to be promoted, but if you want to be promoted after reaching a certain level, it is not a matter of merit." ”

"Our two brothers are both born in mud legs, and I was able to get to the position of commander at the beginning, all by following Eunuch Zheng to risk his life to go to sea."

"The position above, a radish and a pit, just because our two brothers have no background, my life of command will come to an end."

"Fortunately, we met His Highness, he gave me a chance and a stage for me to perform, so that my brother, a mud leg, has further hope."

Wu Hai nodded seriously, "Brother, don't worry, I will follow His Highness Ding in this life." ”

But after saying that, he was still a little puzzled, and pointed to the corpse of Emperor Chengguang and said, "What does that have to do with killing him." ”

Wu Shan was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Now there is an opportunity for our Wu family to move to the top and become a marquis or even a duke in the future." ”

Wu Hai looked confused, wondering if his brother had a cold and fever, and the earl promised by His Highness hadn't gotten it yet, so how could he think of the marquis and duke again.

Ignoring Wu Hai, Wu Shan continued: "But this opportunity is too risky, and it is easy for my brother and me to be pointed at by Qianfu, so I thought about it for a while and decided to change to a more tactful way." ”

"What's the solution?" Wu Hai subconsciously asked.

"Hurry up, hurry up, whoever dares to drag on and kill again!"

Groups of Ming troops rushed into the homes of the Japanese people in Kyoto, drove all the people inside, and at the same time, according to the orders from above, stripped off everyone's cotton clothes and forbade them to wear shoes.

The people wept and struggled, and begged the soldiers loudly to give them a cotton coat.

But the soldiers' expressions were as cold as ice, and they didn't pay attention to them at all, and their wielding weapons drove them out, and anyone who dared to struggle and resist was hacked to death.

Kyoto Castle is the most populous city in the country.

Before Ashikaga Yoshinori left with his troops, the population was about 130,000.

With the number of troops defending the city and the strong men being withdrawn, there are still more than 80,000 people.

After last night's chaos, combined with the killing of the rebels today, the population is just over 70,000.

At this time, more than 70,000 people, driven by soldiers, were heading to a vacant lot outside the city.

These men, women, young and old, were barefoot and dressed in single clothes.

Their bare feet were on the thick snow, and they shivered from the cold.

Some of them really couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, and the soldiers were not allowed to help them at all, so they directly stepped forward and solved it with a knife.

Every time someone who fell was killed, it caused a wave of weeping and wailing.

Soon everyone was gathered outside the city, and under the watchful eye of the soldiers, they were shivering and huddled in a heap.

Wu Shan led the officers and walked to a high platform, looking coldly at the frightened crowd below.

"All quiet!"

As Kureyama raised his hand, the people of the Shimazu family, who were hiding in Kyoto, shouted loudly around the crowd with whips to keep them quiet.

When the scene was completely quiet, Wu Shan said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty is very angry and sent us to ask the emperor for his guilt when the imperial court of the Japanese Kingdom sent someone to kill the descendants of our Confucian saints of the Ming Dynasty. ”

As Wu Shan spoke, those two dogs also held iron horns and translated loudly.

The people of the gourd were at a loss, this was what their emperor did, what did it have to do with them?

"Originally, one person did the same thing, we took your emperor and went back to ask for the guilt."

"But yesterday we stormed the city, but your emperor and empress were nowhere to be found."

"We got the news, and they were hiding in your crowd."

After saying this, Wu Shan looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Emperor Chengguang, if you are still a monarch and can't bear to let your subjects suffer, stand up yourself." ”

However, there was silence below, and the people of the Japanese country in the crowd watched left and right with blank expressions.

After waiting for a long time, no one stood up, Wu Shan turned around and sat on the chair, stretched out his hand to bake the fire, and looked at the crowd with a sneer.

There are many ways to slaughter the city, and Wu Shan chose the mildest one.

And this kind of excuse can also be explained to the court in the future.

They don't know any emperor, so how can they force the emperor out without this method.

As for all of them freezing to death, and none of them came forward, it can only show that their emperor completely disregarded the lives of the people.

And once this matter spreads in the Wa Kingdom, it will completely dispel the last bit of thought of the Japanese people in the Wa Kingdom, and it will also be very convenient for future rule.

Time passed little by little, and the people of the Japanese country, who were wearing only shame clothes and bare feet, stood in the snow and shivered.

To make matters worse, it snowed heavily in the sky again.

In this case, with such thin clothes, no matter how strong a man is, he can't last a few minutes, let alone barefoot.

In less than half an hour, someone fell to the ground.

Looking at the hard people lying on the ground, there was a trace of commotion in the crowd.

All kinds of shouts rang out incessantly, and some even pushed each other to escape from the place.

What these little nests are shouting, Wu Shan doesn't care, and he doesn't want to know.

Seeing that someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to create chaos and escape, Wu Shan raised his hand with a calm expression.

"Ready!"

With the order of several thousand households, the soldiers held shields in one hand and weapons in the other, and looked coldly at the gourds who wanted to storm the defense line.

"Flax falls, flax falls ......"

Looking at the sharp blades, some of the little gourds who were pushed screamed loudly.

But the people behind didn't pay attention to him at all, and pushed forward vigorously, trying to use his body to break through the defense.

"Poof!"

The spear pierced through the gap in the shield, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced the body with ease.

After another half an hour, the soldiers, under the orders of the officer, lined up and walked into the square, which was lying all over the ground.

Every time you pass by a corpse, you can stab it whether you are dead or not.

"Captain, if we don't find their emperor, our merits will be greatly reduced."

Qianhu of the third team looked at the soldiers who were examining the corpses, and their faces were sad.

They did not know that the Wa Kingdom was ruled by the shogunate, and that the emperor was just a mascot, a puppet.

In their concept, if they break through the enemy's royal capital and fail to capture the opponent's emperor, then half of the credit will be discounted.

After all, once the emperor escapes, he can still call on the people to resist the Ming Dynasty in other places, and it will be worthless to break through the royal capital.

The other thousands of households were also worried.

Isn't it because everyone has worked so hard to come here for this little credit?

As a result, the emperor ran away, and the ducks in his hands also flew.

Wu Shan also responded worriedly, and said to several thousand households: "The snow covers the mountain, I estimate that he can't run far, let the brothers search the surrounding towns, see people in life, and see corpses in death, we must find him." ”

"Yes!"

Over the next few days, the Ming army frantically searched the surrounding towns to find the missing emperor.

However, this emperor seems to have evaporated from the world, and no matter how he looks for it, there is no clue.

The destruction of Kyoto and the destruction of Ashikaga Yoshinori's legions spread almost simultaneously.

Just received these two news, many feudal lords were at a loss.

The two leading forces are gone, and where should they go?

What's more, Ashikaga Yoshinori took most of their samurai with him, and even many of the feudal lords went with him.

As a result, a big battle came down and it was all gone.

Without the head of the family, it is a big deal to be elected again, but without the samurai, how can they resist the Ming Dynasty.

As for the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to rise, occupy a piece of land, and confront the Ming Dynasty, they didn't think about it.

But looking at the two or three kittens and dogs under his command, not to mention this little strength, can you take other land, even if you take it, you can't hold it.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty still did not stop attacking in this cold winter, and the Ming army braved the heavy snow and attacked one domain after another at the end.

Any domain that dares to resist, after it is broken, it is still according to the old rules, and half of it is directly killed.

Such a cruel method has made many forces shudder.

Some even couldn't stand the pressure, and as soon as the sentinels of the Ming army arrived, they surrendered.

As the resistance became less and less, the Ming army marched faster and faster.

Even in the later stage of development, even the army is not sent, and a team of ten people can take over a large piece of territory.

When Zhu Gaoyu led his troops to Kyoto, all the areas south of Kyoto were occupied.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

Outside the city of Kyoto, Wu Shan led his officers to greet Zhu Gaoyu, who arrived with the main army.

Zhu Gaoyu did not respond immediately, but quietly looked at the dead city.

He had received Wu Shan's report, and although he felt that these little gourds were a little cheap, he couldn't refuse the wishes of his subordinates.

"Where?"

Zhu Gaoyu asked without a word, Wu Shan understood the meaning, and pointed to an area outside the city.

"In order to prevent the plague, the last general ordered them to be buried there."

"But the last general thinks it's not very useful, once it thaws after the beginning of spring, the smell will definitely rush to the brain."

"Hahaha..."

Zhu Gaoyu laughed and said to Wu Shan: "Don't worry, you can't smell it!" ”

With that, he waved his whip and rode his horse towards the area.

Wu Shan arched his hand towards Liu Sheng, and hurriedly followed.

"Alas!"

Looking at the distant back, Liu Sheng sighed slightly.

He is now a little worried about Zhu Gaoyu.

According to his calculations, since the landing in the Japanese Kingdom, no less than 900,000 Japanese have disappeared from this world under various wars and killings.

This is only half of the battle, and there is still a small area that has not been occupied.

If the remaining half of the area is completely taken down, this death number, Liu Sheng conservatively estimates that it will be at least more than one million.

A war that kills more than a million people in an enemy country.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a situation.

Although there is an excuse for Yan Shenggong, it will still have a great impact on Zhu Gaoyu's reputation after it spreads.

Liu Sheng didn't dare to imagine what the well-fed, idle-free Confucians would arrange Zhu Gaoyu into.

Don't say that these dead are all enemies, for those people, as long as it is something they are not used to, even if Zhu Gaoyu kills their father-killing enemy, they will not hesitate to attack and slander.

The military general group wants to support Zhu Gaoyu, but once Zhu Gaoyu's reputation is ruined, it will be difficult to get on the throne.

Liu Sheng's worries, Zhu Gaoyu naturally didn't know, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Fame is nothing.

Since you can't be a saint of the ages, then be a tyrant who has been passed down through the ages.

He wouldn't be like his own old man, who was as tired as a dead dog in order to wash away that little stain.

What's the use of being so busy.

The history books of later generations are not just what they should say, and the descendants of later generations are not as sarcastic as they should be.

Even some people who like other emperors devalue the old man to nothing.

understands the urine nature of those people in later generations, and Zhu Gaoyu, who was also one of them, will not let himself live so tired.

How to be reborn in a chic life.

In the future, those who earn thousands of yuan a month, and worry about national affairs all day long, talk about the past and the present, and comment on the great powers of emperors of all generations, how to evaluate him, let them go.

"Your Highness, it's all here!"

Coming to a clearing covered with snow, Wu Shan pointed and whispered: "There are about 80,000 people in the city, plus the surrounding towns, a total of more than 150,000 points, all of which are buried here." ”

Listening to Wu Shan's introduction and looking at the snowdrift in front of him, Zhu Gaoyu showed a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, and when the smile converged, he said softly:

"From today onwards, I will live up to me, and I will live up to me."

Wu Shan's body trembled slightly, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, put his hand on his chest, and looked at Zhu Gaoyu: "The minister is willing to go to the soup for His Highness and sweep everything!" ”

Zhu Gaoyu looked at him, nodded seriously, and then let out a low snort.

"Left Army!"

"Your Highness!"

Zhu Gaoyu took the horsewhip and pointed to the place in front of him.

"Let someone carry me what I ordered someone to build."

"Yes!"

The left army answered, turned and walked towards the rear camp.

Soon, a horse-drawn sleigh was led by soldiers.

A stone monument is tied to the sleigh.

The stele is nine feet high and five feet wide.

There is no word on one side, but there are dense carved marks.

There are countless Jin Ge iron horse warriors, holding high the red flag and charging bravely.

And on the other side, a short poem is written.

A poem that Zhu Gaoyu has always remembered in his heart since he knew it.

White mountains and black waters are hated,

The country is ruined, the family is ruined, and a hundred generations are wounded.

Mo and the jackal empty reasoning,

Jin Ge Iron Horse stepped on Fusang.

This poem records the dreams of countless people, and today Zhu Gaoyu engraved it here.

In the future, no one may know what it means, but this is Zhu Gaoyu's declaration, and it is also a message to those who have been looking forward to it for countless years.

What you ever dreamed of, I did for you.

ps: Some plots can't be written too much, so it's the only way to do it, and if you write too much, you'll be closed.
