"General, do you still throw it?"

The subordinates on the side asked Lu Tang.

Lu Tang withdrew his gaze from the city, landed on the remaining incendiary bombs in the box, groaned, and said, "Throw, throw them all!" ”

He followed Li Wei's side, and he knew very clearly the attitude of his Hou Ye towards these widows, and of course he would not show mercy to his subordinates!

"Yes!"

After a few moments, these horrible incendiary bombs flew into the city again with their tail smoke.

The Japanese people in the city had seen the horror of these things, and they fled in terror.

These incendiary bombs can not only ignite the grass and trees of the house, but also burst into flames when they fall on the ground, which will not be extinguished for a long time, which is very terrifying.

Isshiki Quanfan couldn't care about Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's orders now, so he rushed to the city with his people, away from these vicious Ming people!

After the refueling and firewood of the Ming army, the fire in the city became more vigorous, and the city was full of acquaintances.

The soldiers in the city could feel the heat wave from a distance of dozens of meters, and they had to retreat again and again, and finally temporarily retreated from the city wall.

Inside the city, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had already been alarmed by this monstrous fire, and looked in this direction with a shocked face.

Yishi Quanfan broke into the courtyard in embarrassment, and said in horror: "General, it's not good, the Ming army's methods are vicious, and the city is burning with fire, we can't stop it at all!" ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu opened his mouth, sighed helplessly, and could only order: "You immediately go to Gongteng Xingmasa, so that he doesn't have to look for it, let's go quickly, withdraw to Kamakura first and then make plans!" ”

"Yes!"

Yishi Quanfan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly turned around to find Gong Tengxingzheng.

The city of Kyoto was in flames, and thick smoke was billowing out, and the Persian righteous general Wadayama Manjia, who was hiding in the mountains and forests on one side, could see it clearly.

"Kyoto...... It's just gone? ”

Tian Shan Manjia's face turned pale and murmured in a low voice.

The Persian generals also swallowed their saliva with difficulty, unable to speak.

After a long time, the Persian righteous general said: "The Ming army is too powerful, let's avoid its front for the time being." ”

"As it should be!"

Tian Shan Manjia hurriedly nodded in agreement.

They really don't want to fight with these Ming troops anymore, it's not a question of being brave or not, it's that they can't touch the corners of people's clothes at all, and they can only be slaughtered.

After the two made a decision, they immediately quietly left here with their men and horses, and each went back to his own territory to make other plans.

The Japanese were killed and wounded countless under the devastating fire, and the few who escaped with their lives also fled in embarrassment, Kyoto is a mountain city, although the Ming army occupied the city wall, but they were not without a way out.

The fire burned for a whole day before it gradually subsided, and the next day, Li Wei waited for the temperature in the city to cool down before giving the order to let the army enter the city.

The city of Kyoto has now become a ruin, there is still black smoke in many places, the collapsed houses have become pieces of ashes, the air is still filled with the smell of burning, from time to time you can still see the corpses of some Japanese people on the streets and corners, most of them can no longer see the appearance before they were born, after the Ming army entered the city, they had to clean up a simple way to make room for the army.

Although the fire was very large, there were still some Japanese people in the city who had survived and had not escaped, and these people were all arrested by the Ming army first.

Emperor Go-Komatsu's palace was also in ruins at this time, and shortly after the Ming army entered the castle, one of the stone slabs in this ruin was pushed open, revealing a hole and the heads of the Japanese people emerged from it.

He first took a cautious look at the surroundings, and when he saw the palace that had become a ruin at this time, his eyes were immediately terrified.

After taking a closer look, he found that there was silence around him, so he panicked and covered the stone slab and returned to the cave.

Soon after, the slate was opened again, and Nijo Yoshiki, with Emperor Gokomatsu and a group of imperial ministers, crawled out of the cave one after another.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them burned to ruins, and they were suddenly shocked and sad.

"Your Majesty, it seems ...... It seems that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu should be defeated! Nijo said with difficulty.

Emperor Xuren, who had already abdicated, glanced at him dissatisfiedly, do you still need to say anything obvious?

Emperor Gokomatsu looked at the scene in front of him with a dull gaze, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Wow...... It's gone, it's all gone......"

His palace, his toys, nothing.

Nijo Yoshiji spoke out and said, "Your Majesty don't worry, as long as you can bring down the shogunate and Your Majesty regains power, these can be rebuilt!" ”

In the era before the shogunate, it was their ministers who held the power, and he talked about His Majesty, but in his heart he didn't necessarily think that his ministers would make a comeback.

Emperor Gokomatsu was too young to understand these at all, and he only knew that he was crying.

The soldiers of the Ming army, who were searching nearby, were quickly alarmed by the cry and surrounded them.

"There are still widows here, arrest them."

Seeing Nijo Yoshiji and the others, the captain who led the team immediately shouted.

Nijo Liangji didn't think about resisting the Ming army, and immediately explained in Chinese: "This general, we are not in the same group as the rebels and thieves of the shogunate, this is the heavenly ...... who was held hostage by the shogunate Ah no, the Wa King, please be the general Mingjian! ”

When the captain of the Ming military heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and shouted urgently: "Brothers, this is the king of the Japanese, quickly arrest them and send them to the Hou Ye, we are going to make a great contribution!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were also overjoyed and immediately rushed forward.

Nijo Liangji was a little panicked when he saw this, and there were some samurai guards around them, but they didn't dare to resist in the face of these Ming troops, and they were honestly escorted up by the Ming soldiers.

Li Wei, Hu Hai, Guo Ying and others stood together in a slightly clean and empty place, looking at the ruins of Kyoto, the country of Japan, and they all felt a little emotional.

The lieutenant escorted these imperial ministers of the Wa Kingdom to Li Wei, and reported with a happy face: "Lord Yu, I have caught some Japanese people in my humble position, and these people claim to be the Japanese royal family and ministers!" ”

When Li Wei, Guo Ying and others heard this, they all looked at these grizzled people in surprise.

Although these people seem to be a little embarrassed, the clothes on their bodies are very luxurious, and they are unusual at first glance.

"Are you really a royal family?" Li Wei asked.

Nijo Liangji stepped forward to answer, but Xu Ren took the first step and bowed: "Xu Ren, the former king of the Japanese Kingdom, meet the general of the kingdom, and return to the general's words, this is my son, he is the current Japanese king, and the others are all my Japanese royal family and public family." ”

Seeing this, Nijo Liangji could only silently retract his steps, feeling a little unhappy.

When he raised his head, Li Wei took a look, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Damn, this guy is so ugly!

He doesn't think he's a person who judges people by his appearance, but the guy in front of him, who claims to be the former king of the Wa, looks really sorry for the public.

The nostrils are turned out, the jaw is protruding, and the facial features are also a little deformed.

And the current king he was referring to seemed to know that it must be his son, who looked just as ugly!

Li Weiqiang endured the discomfort and withdrew his gaze, and glanced at the royal families around them, they were worthy of a family, and they didn't look much better.

"Okay, okay, since it's the king of the Wa, let's drag it down and cut it." Li Wei waved his hand in disgust.

Li Wei's words fell, and Hu Hai and Guo Ying on the side couldn't help but change their faces slightly, and Ertiao Liangji and Xu Ren were even more shocked.

"General, didn't you purge the rebellious ministers for us? Why did you kill us? Xu Ren said urgently.

Li Wei glanced at him, a little speechless.

Do you believe that?

"You indulge in the people, my emperor asks you for daring to reply to the book to provoke, of course you should be killed!"

Li Wei's eyes were murderous, and he said coldly.

"No, no, no, this is all done by the puppet king of Dajue Temple, and it has nothing to do with us!"

Xu Ren waved his hand again and again in denial.

It was King Huailiang who replied to the Ming Dynasty, and King Huailiang was the commander of the Dajue Temple, and it really had nothing to do with their Northern Dynasty.

"Is that so?"

Li Wei frowned, this is not easy to do.

It was almost impossible to completely exterminate the Wa Kingdom, so he wanted to exterminate this "one line of eternity" first, so that they would be completely extinct!

But now the situation is a little difficult to handle, and it is difficult to convince the public to kill people directly without a legitimate reason, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't say it.

"General, the king of the Japanese is the king of the vassal country, his life and death still need to be decided by His Majesty personally, and the general must not kill without permission!"

Guo Ying took the opportunity to persuade out.

Hu Hai also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, it's better to report this matter to Your Majesty!" ”

Li Wei glanced at them and was a little disappointed.

If these two people weren't there, he would have killed the Wa King directly and brutally, and he would have reported an excuse for accidentally burning him to death or killing the shogunate.

But now that Hu Hai and Guo Ying are watching, if he really does this, Hu Hai may not tell the truth, but Guo Ying will definitely not help him hide it.

"Okay, let's take them down first, and then report to Your Majesty for a decision when Yoshino is captured and the situation is ascertained." Li Wei said softly.

When Xu Ren and the others heard this, they wiped their cold sweat and thanked them repeatedly: "General Xie, General Xie!" ”

Li Wei really didn't want to see his ugly face, so he waved his hand and asked the captain to take them all down.

The city was in ruins, and there must have been no place to live, and after the army had cleaned up the battlefield, they found a wide area and camped for the night, and the next day, after a little repair, they went south to Yoshino.

Yoshino's Southern Dynasty was really ruled by the Emperor, and the current reigning Emperor is called Emperor GoKameyama.

Emperor Go-Kameyama was a capitulation faction, before the Ming army attacked the Wa Kingdom, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was already negotiating with the Northern Dynasty, due to the great power of the Northern Dynasty and the decline of the Southern Dynasty, there were many surrender factions in the Southern Dynasty, and the Emperor Go-Kameyama, who supported the same surrender faction, replaced the Chokei Emperor who insisted on fighting against the Northern Dynasty.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, the Ming army came, and the Northern Dynasty was directly destroyed, which was a shocking joy for their Southern Dynasty!

Upon learning that the Ming army was coming towards Yoshino, Emperor Gokameyama, together with Emperor Chokei, who was forced to abdicate, led the crowd out to welcome Shili.

Li Wei saw these ugly monsters on the road, and guessed their identities without their introduction.

"Xicheng, the little king of the Japanese Kingdom, meet the general of the kingdom!"

"Meet the General!"

Emperor Go-Kameyama led the crowd to salute.

Li Wei nodded slightly, seeing that he couldn't barbecue again, he was slightly disappointed in his heart.

The Northern Dynasty Xuren and Nijo Yoshiji and others in the crowd couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when they saw these Southern Dynasty royal families.

Now that the Ming army has destroyed Kyoto, the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu fled to Kamakura in the Kanto region, and the imperial families of both the north and the south have fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

Emperor Gokameyama respectfully welcomed Li Wei and Hu Hai and other generals into the Yoshino Palace and entertained them, while other Ming troops entered the city and forcibly seized control.

Although these Japanese people in Yoshino were unwilling, they did not dare to resist, so they could only let them control the danger.

Yoshino's palace, called the Imperial Palace, is actually a temple, originally called Eizanji Temple, but after Emperor Daigo was overthrown by the Ashikaga clan, he fled here and occupied this place as a palace.

Li Wei unceremoniously occupies the top position, Hu Hai and Guo Yingzhong will be listed on the left, and the two royal families of the Japanese people will compete with each other on the right side, in order to give way to the front and back positions.

"General, I have three artifacts in my hands, which is the orthodoxy of the Wa Kingdom, thank you to the general for exterminating the puppet king for us, I will definitely write to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to thank you!"

Emperor Gokameyama said respectfully.

"You fart!" Emperor Xuren of the Northern Dynasty immediately reprimanded angrily, "General, don't listen to his nonsense, the King Huailiang who wrote to provoke your country is the person of their Dajue Temple, and I implore the general to punish them!" ”

Emperor Houguishan's face changed, and he immediately retorted: "You are spewing blood, Uncle Huailiang died of illness as early as last year, and he had already retired many years ago, how could he provoke the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Prince Ziliang of the Dajue Temple also came out and explained: "I can prove this that Uncle Wang handed over the post of general of Zhengxi to me seven years ago, and Uncle Wang has long since stopped caring about political affairs. ”

"Hmph, anyway, King Huailiang is your person, and it's useless for you to quibble!" Xu Ren insisted on biting the matter of King Huailiang, and Nijo Liangji also echoed it again and again, and they were absolutely consistent in the dispute between the north and the south.

The royal family and the ministers of the Southern Dynasty also did not give in, and flatly denied the matter of King Huailiang, and even refuted that the Northern Dynasty deliberately impersonated the book.

The two sides quarreled and shouted, looking like they didn't share the sky, but instead relied on Li Wei, who slaughtered the Japanese people, and hoped that he could uphold justice and support his own side.

Li Wei pursed his lips, he didn't care about the three artifacts Huailiang King at all, it was best to kill them all according to his wishes.

"That's it!"

Li Weiwei stopped their quarrel with a shout.

Everyone on both sides was shocked, and they all shut up and stood aside obediently.

Li Wei pondered for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, and said, "Why don't you say that the shogunate did it?" ”

"Oh, yes!"

"Yes, it's Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, thank you to the general for exterminating this rebel for us!"

"General Xie!"

The eyes of both parties lit up, and they echoed each other.

No matter which of them can win the throne, this shogunate must be destroyed first, and it is best to push this matter to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!

Of course, they didn't know that this was actually done by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Li Wei nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, then you should quickly give an order and call on the people of the world to crusade against this chaotic minister and thief!" ”

"Yes, I'll do as I was told!"

"Let's do it!"

The two parties scrambled to agree, for fear of being preempted by the other party.

Li Wei was too lazy to instigate these ugly monsters, and waved them to get out of the way after he finished the order.

Both parties were a little disappointed when they saw that he did not clearly express which side he supported to take the position, but they didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly went back and ordered the guardian daimyo to crusade against Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

In fact, there is no bottom on how many people can listen to their own orders, but with this edict, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is basically abolished, unless one day he can snatch back another imperial family and set it up as the emperor's signboard, otherwise he can't take off the hat of this chaotic minister and thief.

After sending them away, Li Wei also discussed with Hu Hai and the others, and drafted a good news of the current situation and sent someone to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He didn't show his attitude just now, not only because he didn't want to, but also because he couldn't.

The Emperor of the Wa Kingdom is also a vassal king, and this is not something that he can appoint whoever he wants to lead the army, if he really does this, it will be arrogance!

Whether to issue an edict to make one of the royal families of the Wa Kingdom king, or to kill them and set up someone else, must be decided by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

Of course, although Li Wei can't make his own decisions, he can still put forward his own opinions.

He gave Zhu Yuanzhang two suggestions in the recital, one is to kill all others and set up others, which is the best.

The other is to take all these people to the Ming Dynasty, and then seal a few shoguns or something, in short, let them fight by themselves.

In order to prevent accidents, the Ming army also had to garrison troops in the Japanese country, sell weapons, dig up silver, and engage in the slave trade or something, and empty the people and money of the Japanese country to him, so that he would never have to worry about the Japanese in the future.

The good news prepared by Li Wei was sent to the Ming Dynasty by fast horse clipper, and the two emperors of the northern and southern dynasties also issued orders respectively, calling on the major names of the Wa Kingdom to crusade against the rebellious Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and the situation of the Wa Kingdom changed suddenly!

The nearest Persian righteous general, Hetianshan Manjia and others, after getting the news, their minds suddenly became active.

Now that the emperor has issued an edict, there is no need for them to follow the Ashikaga clan to confront the Ming army, and if the Ashikaga clan is really destroyed, the next shogun will most likely be one of them!

Hosokawa Yoriyuki, who was on his way home, had just shut up when he was shocked to hear the bad news that Kyoto had been burned down by a fire, followed by the simultaneous edict of the emperors of the two dynasties to attack Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

After two successive blows, the 200,000 troops in his hands were immediately reduced by half, and the soldiers and horses sent by the local daimyo who obeyed the orders of the shogunate dispersed one after another, and each returned to his own home.

Although he was the nominal leader of the army, he could not stop the soldiers and horses belonging to each family.

And Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who fled back to his hometown in Kanto, also quickly got the news, and his face turned blue with anger at the moment.

He endured humiliation for more than ten years, and the shogunate, which he managed to run with great difficulty, was completely disrupted by the Ming army!

Although the emperor's edict did not allow the daimyo of Wakoku to obey his orders, he, the shogun, completely lost his former authority and had to face a siege by some hostile forces.

"Yaga!"

Ashikaga Yoshishi was so angry that he scolded regardless of his image, and the scriptures and wooden fish in the house were broken and torn apart by him, and it was still difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Hosokawa Yoriyuki, who led the troops back to help, soon collided with the Persian righteous general and Tayama Manjia, who had a different heart, and the two parties already had unresolved grievances, and they fought unceremoniously at the moment.

After a few days of recuperation, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also began to actively prepare for a counterattack, but he felt powerless when he thought of the terrifying firearms of the Ming army.

The huge gap between cold weapons and firearms can be made up by several times the number of soldiers and horses, and although he Ashikaga is still the most powerful daimyo in the Wa Kingdom, he has no righteous reputation, and if he wants to pull up an army of hundreds of thousands or even two or three hundred thousand, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky!

As the two sides of the Persian Yoshinori and Hosokawa Yoriyuki fought, the other daimyo began to either take sides or wait for the opportunity to move, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's loss of power plunged the Wa Kingdom into turmoil once again.

More than ten days later, Li Wei's good news was finally sent back to Jingshi, which immediately caused an uproar in the court! (End of chapter)
