Chapter 1052 Attack on Kyoto

The Han army's magical weapons came from the sky.

The two famous families in Fusang Wakasa Country melted like snowflakes.

Good news kept coming. Unlike Heiharu Nobugu’s life-threatening guards, the Sato family cleaned up gold, silver and fine materials before fighting, and took away some of the food and ran away.

The other four small cities were either broken or successfully accepted.

All were occupied by the Han army.

When Wu Nian woke up after sleep, it was already the next morning. The Wakasa Kingdom, which had more than 80,000 high, could no longer find a force that was enemies with the Han army.

Songping Yixin also found a good place, moored warships, and planned to build a water camp to protect the warships and military supplies.

On the third day, Wu Nian's strong body recovered. Most of the Han army soldiers also recovered.

Inside the Central Army's tent.

Wu Nian was wearing the armor of the King of Han and sat majestic in the main seat. Below were Wang Gui and five infantry generals, as well as Cheng Yulian, Songping Yixin, and Ruosa County Magistrate Chen Zongyao.

Wu Nian said in a deep voice: "Wangsaka Prefecture, there is no enemy on the surface anymore. But there are hidden dangers in secret, and Toyotomi's Navy will definitely attack."

"According to the original plan, Lord Chen, General Songping, General Li, you three stayed behind. They are in charge of civil affairs, land defense, and navy."

"Military supplies shall be distributed as appropriate."

"The rest of the people followed me along the avenue, crossed mountains and ridges, attacked Kyoto, and captured the Emperor."

At the end, Wu Nian held the handle of the steel knife at his waist in his left hand and stood up. His voice was loud, like a thunderous bell, with a magnificent momentum.

Wakasa is just a small quagmire, and Kyoto is the vast sky.

I, Wu Nian, are here.

Lead troops to kill.

"yes."

Everyone stood up neatly and bowed to Wu Nian.

Not long after, four thousand-hundred-house Han troops began to demolish the camps, load the necessary military supplies on the collected trucks, and head towards Kyoto along the avenue.

Kyoto is in the south and needs to cross many short mountains. But for the strong Han army soldiers, it is not a problem at all.

During the march, their weak bodies were further recovered due to seasickness.

There are many famous castles near the road. However, the Han army ignored them and headed straight to Kyoto City.

Kyoto City is already in chaos.

Kyoto Castle.

As a huge city built in Chang'an, Luoyang, which imitated the Tang Dynasty. Kyoto City is the only Han-style city in the entire Fusang style.

Wrapped up by huge city walls, the people, merchants, nobles, and royal families all live in the city.

Fusang is currently a shogunate power, completely undermining the Emperor. However, the Emperor is nominally the monarch of the shogun and has a small court of his own.

This Kyoto City is the territory of the Emperor.

The Emperor is the supreme existence in this city. After leaving the city, no one will listen to the Emperor's orders.

The shogunate also gives the emperor a certain amount of food every year, otherwise the emperor and his officials in the small court may starve to death.

General Toyotomi also has his own power in the city of Kyoto.

It is named Kyoto Soshita.

There are more than 3,000 regular troops under his command.

The first generation was also the Kyoto Soshita of this generation, and it was Okubo Tadashi and the genealogy of the Toyotomi Shogunate, which had a territory of 50,000 stones.

He is known as one of the sixteen generals of Toyotomi, and is a powerful and talented general.

The news spread rapidly. The wealthy businessmen, nobles and other people in the city who were able to escape flocked out of the city and fled.

Ordinary people who were unable to escape were locked up in the city.

The palace was also very chaotic. The contemporary Fuso Emperor, Akimasa, summoned the ministers and the shogunate representative of Kyoto Soshitao.

Emperor Akimasa knelt on his throne, wearing the Emperor's clothes, and looked very panicked.

This year is the eighth year of Mingzheng in Fusang. It has been eight years since Emperor Mingzheng ascended the throne, but he ascended the throne at the age of fourteen. He is only twenty-two years old this year, very young.

He is handsome, slender and has a royal grace.

He and his subordinates were separated by a curtain made by bamboo.

The ministers and ministers have gorgeous sleeves and are pampered and live a life of luxury. At this moment, most of them are very panicked.

Among them, Tadashi Okubo was unique. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and looked very majestic, strong figure, and exuded a shrewd and capable aura all over his body.

Emperor Akimasa panicked, but he still maintained his demeanor and did not speak. Instead, he was a speech by the Wu family who specifically communicated with the court and the shogunate.

The Wu family made a statement and said to Tadashi Okubo: "Master Tadashi. One hundred thousand Han army landed in Wakasa Kingdom, and Your Majesty may not be able to protect the Kyoto. If you want to go to the south, you will avoid the edge of the attack."

To be honest, it is actually to take the small court and leave the city and flee.

Tadashiki Okubo was very calm and bent down to salute, saying, "Report to Your Majesty. It is rumored that there are 100,000 Han troops, but I think it is not credible."

"According to intelligence, the Han army has a maximum of 60,000 to 70,000."

"And the navy cannot land on the shore to fight, and staying behind requires troops. Even if the Han army comes to attack Kyoto, it will only have up to 40,000 to 50,000 people."

"Although Kyoto City is built on a plain, the city walls are tall and strong enough. The troops under my command are 3,000. In a short period of time, the troops from nearby Daming can be gathered to reach 8,000."

"You can also recruit ronin and people from the city to form a temporary army."

"In three days, warriors, soldiers and militias can reach 20,000 people. There is no problem in defending Kyoto. Please rest assured by Your Majesty."

At present, the best strategy is to let the emperor and the small court escape. The safest strategy is to let the emperor escape.

However, as one of Toyotomi's sixteen generals, Okubo Tadashi is strong and brave, and has great confidence in his abilities. In addition, if he abandons the city and flees, then he, the Kyoto Soji, may be held accountable afterwards.

After gritting his teeth, he decided to hold on to the city and call for reinforcements.

Of course he would not tell the Emperor about these things, as he seemed very strong and confident on the surface.

The Wu family reported to the ministers of the court. Seeing that Tadao Okubo was so confident, the panic gradually subsided, and most of them calmed down.

Emperor Mingzheng reached out to ring the golden bell beside him.

With a "ding" sound, the palace maids on both sides slowly pulled up the curtains, revealing his true face.

Tadaokutao and the nobles in the palace immediately lowered their heads and pressed their foreheads against the tatami.

Regardless of whether the Emperor is a puppet or not.

It is correct to be in the Emperor Fusang.

He is the descendant of the gods and the highest existence in the family.

Emperor Akimasa also calmed down and used the emperor's unique pronunciation, [Tsukatsuno] as if he was singing a opera, and said to Tadashi Okubo: "I'll ask Tadashikyu for everything."

After a pause, Emperor Akimasa said again: "If there is anything, I need me. Please don't be polite, even if you say it."

"Yes." Tadakukuto didn't dare to look up, his head pressed against the tatami and responded loudly.

Immediately, he said, "Please rest assured. Your Majesty only needs to sit in the Imperial Palace. Just a mere Han army, I will retreat to the enemy for Your Majesty."

Emperor Mingzheng felt more at ease when he saw this and said, "Give wine."

Okubo Tadashi was both surprised and delighted, and the Emperor gave him wine. Among the daimyos in the world, there are only a handful of people who can enjoy such honors.

After drinking the imperial wine given by the Emperor, Tadashi Okubo left the palace and returned to Sojitoshi, and began to dispatch troops.
