Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty - Chapter 621
A few days later, in the distant East China Sea, the waves were rough.
At this moment, more than ten small boats are heading west.
There were dozens of people in the boat, all of whom were dressed as standard Eastern samurai! They were holding katana in their hands, and some people were still practicing swordsmanship on the boat, chopping a few times from time to time.
However, most of the Eastern Samurai warriors have lonely expressions on their faces.
Now is the era of regent politics in the history of Dongying. The nobles of Dongying are in charge of state affairs, and the emperor is just a puppet in the hands of nobles! The largest aristocratic family now is the Fujiwara clan in history. The Fujiwara clan is called the “Clan”, and the patriarch of the Fujiwara clan is the regent of Toei! This kind of political situation has lasted for more than three hundred years, and it is getting closer and closer to the era of the samurai shogunate in history!
These dozens of warriors wanted to support the emperor and assassinate the Fujiwara clan, but they were discovered by the Fujiwara clan. In the end, they had to wander overseas, and they would become Japanese pirates in the future.
“We will be heading to the Central Plains soon, where gold is everywhere, and there are beauties everywhere! The Han people there are incredibly weak, and it is very easy to **** wealth from them!” A tattered Dongying warrior stood on the bow of the ship. , Yelling like venting.
“We will go to Jiangnan last. Jiangnan is the richest, and Jiangnan has the weakest defense!” There is another Bushido.
“His Majesty the Emperor is still under the control of the Fujiwara Clan. It is really uncomfortable to think about it! If His Majesty the Emperor is under the control of our samurai, we samurai can control the entire country, and then we can become stronger, and we can even invade. Goryeo, then use Goryeo as a springboard to enter the Central Plains!” A bushido with unusually messy hair.
In history, until the 16th century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi truly unified Dongying for the first time, and Dongying first had a centralized government. At that time, Dongying began to invade Korea, but was soon defeated by the Central Plains regime! There are still four hundred years of history from that era, but the ambition of the Toyo Warrior has already been revealed.
“The nobles in Kyoto don’t want to make progress, and the country is chaotic, like scattered sand. How can such a country be comparable to the unified power of the Central Plains?” The Eastern warrior standing at the bow hates iron and cannot make steel.
“None of this has anything to do with us. We can no longer return to Dongying! Let’s go to the Central Plains and enjoy the world of flowers and blossoms in the Central Plains!” An older Dongying warrior sighed long behind him.
More than a dozen small boats continued to move forward in the face of the wind and waves, and the sky was slightly dark. Some Oriental samurai were sitting quietly on the boat. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of exclamation around, and the meditating Toyo samurai awakened.
“What happened?” A meditating Bushido.
“Look!” someone in front yelled.
These samurai looked forward, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
A black line appeared on the sea ahead, and the black line got closer and closer to them. You can see that endless warships are coming in this direction! It is dark now, they can’t see where the end of the battleship is, and they don’t know how many battleships have entered this sea area!
In July of the eleventh year of Xuanwu, Wu Yun and Wu Lin led the navy from Goryeo Pyongyang, Ganghwa Island, Jeju Island and other places. They gathered on Tsushima Island and rested for three days. After that, nearly 1,000 warships and more than 300 ships transported supplies. The logistic ships entered the sea of Japan for later generations together! The total force led by Wu Jie and Wu Lin reached 90,000, plus the militia who transported logistical materials, and the total force reached 110,000!
And as they entered the Sea of Japan eastward, Libin Mansion, where the later generations of Vladivostok was located, Wang Gui led five hundred warships and fifty thousand navy into the vast sea, heading in the direction of Dongying!
The dozens of Dongying Japanese pirate boats were flooded with arrows in the sky before they could escape, and none of the Dongying warriors could survive!
On July 23, the entire Dongying autumn rains continued, and more than a thousand warships led by Wu Yan and Wu Lin landed in Ruojia Bay on the west coast of Dongying!
The local lords of Dongying in Ruo Fjord kowtow to pay respects, and then these local lords lead the Song army towards Kyoto!
The rain was extremely heavy, but the Song army was advancing extremely fast, and no soldier was delayed because of the rain.
They have been in Goryeo for more than two years, training hard every day, and now it’s time for the Tigers to come out of the basket!
Those Dongying lords who led the way were shocked. From their birth to the present, they have never seen so many troops! In this era, Dongying has almost no established army, and most lords have warriors, but the size of the warriors is also extremely limited. They secretly rejoiced in their hearts and felt that they were right to take refuge in Da Song.
Since landing on July 23, the Song Army had almost no rest for four days and four nights. At the afternoon of July 27, the Song Army came to the west of Kyoto!
At the same time, the fifty thousand Song army led by Wang Gui entered Biwa Lake, a long and narrow lake north of Kyoto by sea. On the night of July 27, Wang Gui’s army landed from east of Kyoto, and a large amount of ordnance was transported. come!
Overnight, more than one hundred thousand Song army surrounded Kyoto.
In this era, although Kyoto was the capital of Dongying, the level of urban construction was very low. Inside the city walls, there are buildings like slum cellars everywhere! Going inside the city wall, the buildings are sparse, and there are some courtyards, but most of the courtyards are dilapidated.
Until the innermost part of Kyoto, the buildings gradually increased. The courtyard construction here is much more brilliant than the outside! The palace of Dongying is also here! However, Dongying’s palace is far inferior to the Yanjing palace, the former Bianliang palace, and the Hangzhou palace! The palace here covers an area of only more than 40 acres, and there are only four palaces and three attics.
The heavy rain is still going on, the sky is getting bright, and the whole Kyoto is in chaos!
The poor people of Kyoto are hiding in their homes, while the samurai of Kyoto came to the wall and prepared to defend the city! Some warriors came to the palace and petitioned to go out of the city to fight the Song army!
In the palace, Emperor Toba, who was only 19 years old, looked pale, and a dozen ministers of Toba sat cross-legged underneath.
The leading minister looks more than sixty years old, wearing a gray kimono with a calm expression on his face. This person is the head of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Izumi, and the regent of Toei of this era.
Everyone’s eyes were on Fujiwara Izumi’s face, no one went to see the emperor! The emperor is just a puppet. If it is not a matter of great importance, these people will never enter the palace to see the emperor.
“Master Fujiwara, who is it on earth?” a minister couldn’t help asking.
“It should be the Song Army! The local lord, they can’t build such an army!” Fujiwara Izumi said.
“The Song Army is extremely powerful, how do we deal with these Song Army?” the minister said.
“Kyoto City is very strong, and it is almost impossible for the Song Army to defeat it! You know, there are more than 40,000 warriors in the entire Kyoto City, and almost half of the warriors in the East are here! Moreover, the Song Army crossed the sea to fight and logistically. The supply must be insufficient, and they will inevitably retreat over time!” Fujiwara Izumi said.
In fact, Fujiwara Izumi is pretending to be calm. Since the founding of Dongying, until now, they have never dealt with the Han army! Everyone in Dongying knows that the Central Plains is powerful, prosperous, and civilized, but they don’t know how powerful the Central Plains is! Faced with such a situation, he was extremely frightened.
“Fujiwara-kun, we should call on the samurai from all over the world to help Kyoto!” At this moment, a samurai dressed up humanely.
This person is Oda Mitsuyoshi, the priest of Emperor Toei, and the so-called priest is the teacher! On the other hand, this person is the most famous samurai in Dongying, and it can be said that he is the samurai leader of the whole Dongying!
This era has reached the end of political politics, and the power of the samurai group is getting stronger and stronger. This Oda Mitsuyue is the only person in the entire Toei who can compete with Fujiwara Izumi.
Hearing Oda Mitsuyuki’s words, Izumi Fujiwara became silent! He naturally wants to drive away the Song army, but he can’t tolerate that the samurai all over the world gather in Kyoto, so the power of the samurai will definitely increase again! If the samurai can defeat the Song army, the samurai group is likely to replace the noble power in the future.
“Fujiwara-kun, I am thinking for the whole of Toyo! The Song army is coming fiercely, and it is difficult to stop the Song army with the tens of thousands of samurai in Kyoto alone. Only the arrival of the samurai from all over the country can resist the Song army!” Oda Mitsuyuki said sincerely.
“I still have to think about this.” Fujiwara Izumi frowned.
They were talking here, suddenly there was a sharp noise outside, and the sound of rain seemed to disappear for a moment!
“What happened?” Fujiwara Izumi asked in surprise.
“It’s the sound of bows and arrows! But this sound is so loud, how many bows and arrows should be shot together!” Oda Mitsuyuki’s expression also changed drastically!
Just in the early morning of this day, the Song army fired all arrows and began to fiercely attack Kyoto Prefecture!
There are samurai everywhere on the walls of Kyoto, but most of the Eastern samurai use Eastern swords to fight, and most of them don’t have bows and arrows! Although the city walls of Kyoto are high and strong, the entire city has never dealt with such a large-scale war. They basically have no weapons to defend the city!
The sound of shouting, the sound of bows and arrows, the sound of a stone thrower, and the sound of a siege vehicle hitting the city gates continued to come. No other sound was heard in Kyoto. Fujiwara Izumi, Oda Mitsuyue and others were shocked by this sound. , They hurriedly left the palace and headed towards the gate in the rain.
