———————
Kublai Khan's imperial edict was heard, not only Zhao Wei was quite surprised, but even Boyan was very puzzled, why did Your Majesty change so quickly?
However, no matter what, the situation on the four islands of Japan will change, or even permanently, due to this imperial edict.
In March, Boyan's army changed its normal state and no longer stagnated due to the gains and losses of a city and a pool.
The troops are divided into two groups:
Along the way, led by Kazuyan himself, he raised 70,000 troops and returned to Yokosuka camp on the east coast of the province.
In mid-March, Tsakakura Castle encountered almost no resistance and soon marched into Kyoto, the capital of Japan.
On March 21, the troops arrived at the capital of Kyoto, and they surrounded them without attacking them, nor were they surrendered.
The second route, a 100,000 army, went south from Kanze.
In early April, it had already penetrated to the southwest coast of Honshu - Ube.
Here, Zhang Hongfan's Sino-State fleet was accompanied. He boarded the boat and crossed the Zhoufang Bay, which facilitated the landing of Zhongjin on Jiuzhou Island in one day.
Nakatsu is only two hundred miles away from the main battlefield of Jiuzhou Fukuoka, and is right behind the defenders of Jiuzhou.
In one month, the Yuan army penetrated from the inland continent to the battlefield of Jiuzhou.
I can only say that Boyan is really good at acting, and the Mongol Yuan army, which is invincible in the world, is really good at taking action.
The 100,000 old soldiers in Jiuzhou were attacked from both sides and had no chance to win. The only way to survive was to surrender.
However, Hojo Toshizo said nothing wrong. These 100,000 white-haired samurai did not intend to leave.
With a hundred thousand old man, he defeated the army of 500,000 yuan when he lost the high coastal walls, and he had to tie Zhang Hongfan for a month.
After the Yuan army paid the price of 100,000 casualties, they were all broken.
What shocked Zhang Hongfan the most was that in the battle of hundreds of thousands of people, he failed to capture a Japanese prisoner alive.
......
In early May, the battle in Jiuzhou was over.
While Zhang Hongfan personally took charge of Jiuzhou, rectified the Han army and Goryeo auxiliary troops, and occupied the cities of Jiuzhou. On the other hand, he ordered the elite army, the Mongolian army, to explore the Chima army, to advance north quickly and counterattack the island.
In mid-May, he met with the army of Bekaan who besieged Kyoto.
When Emperor Udo learned that Jiuzhou had lost its situation, the situation was hopeless. He asked for surrender several times, but was ignored by Boyan.
On the fifth day of the fifth month, the emperor ordered an oath to declare a rebellion and began to launch a formal siege on Kyoto.
After the city was broken in three days, it was immediately entered into the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Udo hangs himself in despair, and the rest of his relatives drove into the Imperial Palace to burn him.
At this point, on the eighth day of the fifth month of the 19th year of Zhiyuan, the King of Japanese was executed, and the Emperor's lineage was left with only the sidelines, and Japan destroyed the country.
When Hojo Toshizo, who was in Muro, heard the news, he was shocked and happy.
Well, he thought it was a big gift from Zhao Wei.
Decide immediately to speed up the evacuation of military and civilians.
Hojo Toshizo himself was like the elders of the Son family who died in Kyushu, vowed to defend Muro and gain more time for his people to evacuate.
After this order, the shogunate was naturally moved.
But how can we allow the master to take risks?
In the end, Hojo Toshizo was almost forced to board the ship by his subordinates and sailed towards that new world.
A few months later, Hojo Toshizo had just landed in North America. Before he could stand firm, he was coerced by the people, and was kind to the public, and he ascended the throne and became emperor under the coercion of the people.
The country's name is "Japan", and the year name is Jianxiang.
The term Japan has a long history, and it means the place where the sun rises. Since the Tang Dynasty, Japan has called itself Japan.
However, at that time, Japan had no status and could only accept the humiliating name of the Central Plains dynasty called "Water".
Now it has become the official national name of Japan in the hands of Hojo Toshizo.
The careful preparations in the past two years have also enabled Japan to govern the people and the army to be more than 200,000, with its population strength especially above the Song Dynasty.
In February of the first year of Jianxiang, Emperor Zong of the Daying Dynasty established the capital of Xin Kyoto, which is the Pacific Ocean 500 miles north of Vancouver in later generations, and is more than 600 miles away from the Seattle outpost of the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Shizong also issued a letter to the people:
The emperor governed the country and inherited the ambition of the Emperor, but he was different from the Emperor, and he suffered with the people and lived in harmony with the country. His current mission is to build a city with the whole country to control the invasion of the barbarian enemy.
Of course, while mobilizing the people to unite, Emperor Shizo did not miss any available resources, and the natives near Kyoto became one of the goals of Hojo Toshisen.
The monks were ordered to spread Buddhism and educate the barbarians.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal.
The local Yin people don’t even take his tricks. What kind of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are we? Are we the ones who believe in the true dragon?
The introduction of Buddhism not only did not help Hojo Toshizong to gain friendship with the Yin people, but instead caused the vast majority of Yin people to migrate south and integrate into the Yin people of the Tertek and Song people.
After all, compared with the Japanese, Song people are close relatives who are of the same clan and origin and believe in the True Dragon.
......
While Hojo Toshizo was busy in the Americas, life was not easy for the Yuan Dynasty, which completely conquered the four islands of Japan.
Although the Yuan Dynasty completely controlled the four islands of Japan, the Yuan Dynasty was able to destroy the original Japanese political system, the Yuan Dynasty's ruling over the four islands also increased.
Kublai Khan had to urgently establish the Japanese province, appoint political and military chiefs, and implement a series of moderate policies to ease the hearts of the Japanese people.
At the same time, troops must be sent to garrison, slaves must be sent to farm, local Japanese officials, and grassroots officials from Mongolia and Han dynasties must be appointed.
Of course, we must always pay attention to the integration and harmony between the officials of the Mongolian, Han and Japanese tribes.
This is not as easy as the Emperor's direct surrender. It is as simple as appointing a Japanese king with an edict.
Without two or three years of adaptation and running-in, it is difficult to usher in real peace on the four islands.
In other words, in the past two or three years, the Yuan Dynasty could not get any benefits from the four islands, but instead had to continue to invest manpower and material resources.
It will take at least five years before it can truly become the bridgehead for the Yuan Dynasty to march into Fusang.
Of course, Kublai Khan may not know that even if he sent troops across the ocean five years later, he would face the first Japanese.
I wanted to cross Japan and attack the Song Dynasty, but it took countless years to come.
If you look at it from an outsider's perspective:
Although the Shizong shogunate lost the four islands of Japan, it finally realized its dream of the mainland and had a broader strategic depth and development prospects.
A winner.
Although the Yuan Dynasty spent more time on the four islands of Japan, it expanded its territory and won the entry to the Americas.
Moreover, due to the limitations of navigation technology at that time, the only way to the route around the archipelago to North America was to control the four islands of Japan.
It can also be called win.
However, after careful consideration, the real winner is actually the Song Dynasty.
First, it delayed the time when the Mongolian Yuan entered America. Moreover, Japan also, according to Zhao Wei's expectations, was sandwiched between the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty and became the first barrier.
Secondly, and the most important point, and it is something that Zhao Wei has not realized yet.
It is the tens of thousands of books in the Kanze Library, which is the foundation of Chinese civilization. Its meaning is far-reaching and immeasurable.
......
In the Yuan calendar, June of the summer of the 19th year of Zhiyuan.
That is, at the same time when Boyan captured Kyoto and massacred the city, Zhao Wei and Mr. Dieshan had already returned to the Central Plains by boat.
Logically speaking, Zhao Wei should stay for a while, at least he would have to wait until Emperor Yuda was cooled down before coming back to prevent any changes.
However, first of all, there is little possibility of a problem; secondly, time is tight, so I can't stay in Japan for too long.
Because according to the original history, it was only half a year before Wen Tianxiang was executed.
In fact, history has deviated under Zhao Wei's subtle influence.
Kublai Khan's policy to the south is changing, and Liu Mengyan's position in Kublai Khan's heart is also changing, unlike the ones he said before.
However, no one dares to take this risk, and he dares to make a conclusion until the last moment.
As for why Zhao Wei is so persistent in saving Wen Tianxiang from trouble?
Perhaps, Zhao Wei was sympathetic to the generous husband Wen who went to the official position in his original history.
It may also be as Die Shansheng said, they did not save Wen Tianxiang alone, but they saved people's hearts!
The Song Dynasty was destroyed and fled, and the country was destroyed and the people were lost.
