.One one, Bu Wu, the real decisive battle is coming (Part 1) Kyoto, the Emperor's Imperial Hall

This ancient capital of Japan, located in the Yamacai Kingdom, is a large city with a radius of nearly forty miles and a population of about 300,000. Its scale is second only to Edo in the Japan Island Country, while its cultural relics and famous scenic spots are hundreds of times higher than that.

From the beginning of the construction of the city, the city of Kyoto has undergone rigorous planning: a Suzaku Street that runs through the north and south, reaching 60 steps, divides the city into two and directly connects to the main gate square of the Emperor's Imperial Hall. The chessboard-shaped streets and alleys are like streets, cutting the city into neat lifangs. On both sides of the street, willow cherry blossoms are lined up, and in the lifangs, there are continuous houses, which make tourists intoxicated and linger.

Although as the political center of this country, Kyoto is inevitably destroyed repeatedly, even if it is burned to white ground, it will soon be rebuilt again, and the unique elegant charm of this ancient capital will never lose its unique charm.

At this moment, this ancient city with a long history has begun its reconstruction work again.

On a large construction site, thousands of ragged workers, facing the scorching sun, were busy under the supervisor's whip. The middle of several temporarily flat dirt roads were paved with rows of rolling wood that had been demolished from the houses, and heavy rectangular stones were lying across them. Groups of boatmen were shirtless, dragging them with ropes in front and prying them with wooden sticks behind them. They tied tightly into the black and red shoulders regardless of the rough ropes, and slowly moved the stones inch by inch by inch.

A wide and deep trench around the construction site is being dug in full swing. Several carpenters are measuring the dimensions on the unformed trench to build a small bridge.

Even the digging soil was transported elsewhere by the laborers in a small cart, stirring the traditional solidification agent with glutinous rice juice as the main raw material. Then it was mixed into various colors of soil in a certain proportion, and then used to build walls with molds.

On the clearing ground a little further away, rows of huge brick and tile kilns were neatly arranged, and the vigorous red flames were never extinguished all day long. Every moment, thick black smoke lingered over Kyoto, in order to burn as many bricks and tiles as possible to keep up with the progress of the project. Due to the shortage of firewood and charcoal, the construction team had to dismantle many beams, columns and wall panels of nearby houses, and they broke all the fire regardless of the 2011-21-21-21-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31-31

In the center of the construction site, several palace buildings damaged in the war have been pushed down and flattened by hardworking workers, and wooden scaffoldings of new palaces have been re-established. In addition, some people are busy hanging up and down with ropes, using sharp tools to clean up and down the moss and thatch on the tiles, and painted the already mottled walls with lime. Finally, they have to apply a layer of new paint, or even decorate the expensive gold or silver powder.

It was only more than a month from planning to construction. A magnificent and magnificent new imperial imperial palace had already taken shape from the ruins after the war. Around this new palace, there were many powerful ministers and nobles who were also following the construction of a large number of constructions, busy renovating or building their own mansions, and trying their best to make it magnificent, elegant without losing its luxury.

In order to convey materials to this huge construction site, there are many cargo ships crowded on the docks of Yodogawa every day. The masts are dense like forests and piles of various cargo. They are as high as hills. Countless porters and coolies squat on their shoulders and sweat like rain. If they are seen by people who don’t know the truth, they might think this place is a bustling and prosperous scene.

?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?

However, just outside this busy construction site, between the streets and alleys of this ancient Kyoto, there were unimaginable bleakness and dilapidated citizens of about 300,000 people who died in war or were left out, and the remaining people had no livelihoods. In order to have a bite of food, they had to sharpen their heads and look for work in His Majesty's construction site. Except for the construction site, the whole city was almost deserted and invisible. Instead, dilapidated buildings that had become ruins could be seen everywhere.

Among them, only a few houses were destroyed in that short fire. As for most of the remaining ruins, it was because His Majesty the Emperor's construction project required a large amount of building materials. In order to facilitate the convenience, the construction workers took materials as close as possible, and as a result, almost all the intact houses in the surrounding blocks were forcibly requisitioned and dismantled. "... The whole city has been destroyed so much, even if the peaceful world has been restored, it will definitely not be able to recover its vitality within three to five years.

Therefore, it is in sharp contrast to the noisy scene near the palace. The former bustling commercial area, which is only a few streets away, has few pedestrians, cars and horses, and almost all kinds of shops are closed. The remaining residents have pale and thin faces. Only a few samurai are still showing off their power, each carrying a sword on his waist, holding a woman in his arms, and swaying across the market drunk with a wine pot, making everyone tremble.

But this place is far from the worst place. After all, it is at the foot of the emperor. No matter where the "King King" came from, the downward army here usually has to abide by the rules, at least not slaughtering in the streets. And just outside the suburbs of this city, the large amount of poison gas released by the Naserel Far Eastern Army in order to cover the retreat was so desolate that no people could be seen. Countless villages that were once quite prosperous were smoked by strong poison gas. And those villages that were lucky enough not to be affected by the poison gas also faced the willful burning, killing, looting of a "King King's righteous man" and could not escape the destruction life."

After repeated ravages of tens of thousands of "rebels" who were more brutal than robbers, the place quickly fell into a wilderness of death without any law and order, Shi Er and how many living people were. But who had been out of the Kyoto city. Shi Die stepped on a few pieces of broken armor from time to time and half a cut knife. He was not lucky, and would kick out several rotten and smelly limbs in the grass to bring these "righteous men to the king. They almost killed people when they saw them and burned them when they saw them, and did not distinguish between the enemy and our camps. Even the princes and generals of the Anti-State Army, without dozens of guards, did not dare to go out to act casually.

Then expand the observation field to the outside, from Kyoto to the brigade, a radius of 100 miles. It was originally the essence of the country's most densely populated, economically developed and culturally prosperous. Now it is all like a terrible little destruction like a locust passing through the border, as if it were like a ghost town.

From Buddhist temples, manors, market towns to the castles of the princes. In addition to a few strongly defended strongholds, they have been completely damaged by the rampant sweep of various "rebels".

Polites emitting foul smells everywhere in the fields. The monks in the remaining temples had no time to bury them. In order to prevent the outbreak of plague, they had to throw all the bodies into Yodogawa and Kamogawa. As a result, the surging river water in the past was blocked and no longer flowed.

However, in the center of such a scorched earth in purgatory, as the culprit of all these human tragedies, His Majesty Renxiao, who is wise and powerful, is still intoxicated by the success of the fallen curtain. He is full of his desire to build a luxurious palace that suits his identity as a "glorious wise ruler". He turns a blind eye to the bloody sufferings of thousands of creatures around him.

The flatterers who are deeply favored by the Emperor also only know how to praise and flatter, hold banquets, tea parties, and singing parties from morning to night, and at most they will find Onmyoji to do a few times to pray for the sacrificial rituals of "pacifying Kanto". They did not try to recruit warriors or form personal troops, and they did not expect to provide relief to refugees and win people's hearts. It was simply that the king and ministers "sing in the elixir of the leaking elixir and drink in the burning house"!

It seems that all the end times have such similar characteristics, that is, the entire ruling class is trapped in an unreasonable madness, step by step towards its destined destruction. Finally, in the fire of burning all things, everything is dyed crazy blood red.

A decisive battle that determines the final fate of Japan's island nation is not far from now on.

?Knife?Knife?Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife??Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?

Standing in a luxurious guest room on the top floor of Kyoto Inn. Looking out the contrasting absurd scene outside the window, the Dragon Witch Envoy Aiklinn couldn't help but reach out and press his forehead, which was almost filled with blue veins, and sighed quietly.

But then he could only helplessly lower his shoulders, turned around and sat down, dipped his quill into the ink bottle, took out a stack of new blank letters from the drawer, and continued to write his report.

Perhaps because Ecklinn has accumulated a staggering amount of resentment over the past period, although this is an evaluation report that should be kept as rigorous, objective and fair as possible, he unconsciously brought a lot of quite distinctive color to him.

Dear Mr. Samust: As you know, about a year has passed since the time of the order of Huyi to cancel the investigation of the Tukan Prairie and to rush to this strange Far East island nation to assist local allies in their mission of subverting the regime.

During this period, Huyi not only initially grasped the country's political, economic and military profile, but also fully experienced the difficulty of cooperating with the country's imperial court, and thus felt deeply exhausted and powerless.

To sum up, the allies we chose this time are the emperor and court who nominally dominate the country. Just like the vase and puppet status it originally owns, they are a bunch of decay, weakness, incompetence, arrogance, hypocrisy and non-cooperation. The historical relics that should have been thrown into the garbage dump long ago. Defeating it only requires hundreds of ordinary soldiers to be dispatched, beware of two fully armed thousand-man teams. And forming an alliance with it, fighting hand in hand, and fighting side by side." That is simply the biggest nightmare in the world!!!

Since the beginning of this cooperation, the Wu side has provided the court with 100,000 taels of silver in activity funds, and then assisted 300,000 taels of silver in military funds and advanced military equipment that are enough to arm 10,000 soldiers.

In addition, Nishiyi spent 400,000 taels of silver to buy multiple pirates from the East to launch an annihilation war against the shogunate fleet, and to cover the transport ships through the blockade of the Naserel Far East Fleet to transport the ordnance into the Hexiao.

In addition, the "co-funds" that bribed various vassal states to participate in the collapse of the curtain-breaking "San'an's "relief and support funds" for the ronin in Beijing, in just one year, our investment in this island country has exceeded 5 million taels of silver. According to the current common practice in the Feren continent, this money can maintain at least three regular legions and conduct high-intensity combat for a year!

However, although as a party who gives assistance, Huye has done his best. However, the emperor and the court, who receive our support and assistance, have never even really thought about how to seize power!

The first payment of the 100,000 taels of silver activity to the court was that the rank of the 100,000 taels of silver was not in Kyoto at that time. Therefore, it was impossible to verify its specific purpose. However, the second payment of the 300,000 taels of military expenses was confirmed that the Emperor and his courtiers misappropriated at least 80% of them. Then they "reasonably waste" the remaining 20% ​​of the remaining funds, and the actual amount of money used for military use would not exceed 1,000 taels at most!

And these removed silver were not used as I originally imagined, to recruit soldiers and form an imperial guards that were truly controlled by the Emperor, so as to get rid of their dependence on foreign troops; to bribe and buy more princes to join the rebellious camp in Kyoto; to be moved to serve as construction funds. The new luxury for His Majesty, Gorhini, at the critical moment when the war broke out, not only did not sell the money to raise money to strengthen military power, but instead misappropriated the only precious military expenditure and squandered it for personal enjoyment. Please forgive me for my humble duty and rude, and I could not understand the way of thinking of this Emperor!

As for the new-style armed armies that were enough to arm ten thousand soldiers, the Ubiquit had not yet been able to figure out their whereabouts. Judging from all the signs, the court did not hoard these armies, but it was not used to arm any rebels along the way.

After many investigations, Bei Zhi only saw a few magic pistols on the guards of several princes, but they could not tell the whereabouts of the remaining weapons. They even had no idea that there had been such a batch of arms aid!

Such an incredible weird book happened under my nose in such a dignified way. The Emperor and the court dared to shamelessly say that they knew nothing!

What is even more unimaginable is that this war has just broken out, and the shogunate far away in Edo still retains its strong strength. The court has only barely controlled Kyoto. His Majesty the Emperor and his favorite ministers have begun to spend their days and celebrate. In addition, they are competing to build palaces and mansions, focusing on enjoyment, without any further strategic policies.

Bei Zhi occasionally went to inquire about this matter, and this Majesty actually declared with confidence that although the position of emperor today is not valued so seriously, in ancient times, whenever the imperial edict was read, even dead grass and rotten trees could bloom and bear fruit. Even the birds in the sky must obey the will. Lian is a descendant of Amaterasu's great god, and was born with a hundred spirits to protect and protect the gods. In the past, he tolerated the shogunate usurpation of power, but only pity the people's suffering and the people's misfortune. Now that he is determined to rectify the situation, many righteous men from all over the world have come to seek refuge in the king. The ugly people in Kanto have already lost their courage in the battle of Kyoto, and are now in a panic all day long. When the army is launched, how can there be a reason that it cannot be passed on?

When he heard what this Majesty meant, it seemed that it was not that he was deliberately trying to win over powerful vassals, instigating rebellion, thereby overthrowing the shogunate and restoring the imperial power, but that others were crying and shouting that they would give the power of the state and the government with both hands. He himself was even reluctant to accept it because he felt it was troublesome!!

Such a ridiculous guiding theory really makes Hu Zhi feel stunned and amused and laughed at by Mr. Samast. Can you believe it? There will be a king in the war era who hopes that he will do nothing, just need to indulge in the luxurious palace, and let others fight bloody outside, bring their own troops, horses, food and salary to defeat all powerful enemies for His Majesty, and finally respectfully present the results of victory with both hands." He himself only needs to say a few words of praise!!! Did he think others are fools or saints?

However, the Emperor and his courtiers seemed to be really stating according to such a ridiculous guiding theory. In this war that concerns the fate of the country, they did not realize the importance of military power in troubled times, never thought of restraining military discipline, strengthening control of various anti-strait troops, nor had any intention of forming their own new army. They even watched tens of thousands of chaotic soldiers looted and slaughtered the entire Gyeonggi outside the city of Kyoto, destroying the fundamental place where they started their own business. In the past two months since the revolt, they had only known that they had issued random documents and commendations, and they were determined based on the bribe amount," he said.

In short, although the emperor and the imperial court ministers were verbally ambitious and claimed to be "retrospect for the king's politics." However, in actual actions, they did not regard the current Japanese civil war as their own war! But they just regarded it as a speculation to make money.

Perhaps, in their habitual thinking mode, this anti-shog war is still the same as the civil wars that occurred in ancient times. It is nothing more than a new samurai group to defeat another old samurai group, and then establish a shogunate under the banner of "acting the royal family and establishing a shogunate under the banner of small. During this period, the only thing that the court needs to consider is to borrow its own inherent great names and ask for a few benefits from the winners.

Therefore, even if the parties involved are completely inaction, even if we provide more military assistance, we may only allow this dangerous leadership core of the invading forces to slightly extend the pitiful life span, but it cannot stop its inevitable internal collapse. Even if we finally defeat the agent of the Naseril Empire, the Edo Shogunate, which was completely infiltrated by the Great Sui Merchants Group, it will be difficult for us to let the court act as the agent for our indirect control of this country. Although theoretically, it should be the most legitimate.

In addition, I don’t know if His Majesty the Emperor really doesn’t understand or is pretending to be confused. During the recent few interviews, he just repeatedly hoped that we would provide more money, more reinforcements, and more various materials. However, for the political, religious and economic returns that should be given to me after the war, this Majesty always expressed a few words of "eternal respect and gratitude" and always avoided talking about the real division of interests after the war. No matter how indirectly the humble post-war position is useless, and even the minimum empty promise is unwilling to make. It seems that all the aid we provide is what he should be. Is he not even the minimum political transaction principle?! Or is he unwilling to understand?!

It is true that the above problems arise in the process of cooperation with the Japanese court. Perhaps it is because of the incompetence and lack of knowledge of the humble position, but I am sorry that I am not aware of it.
Chapter completed!
