    Kyoto!

    At the end of the Nara Period of Japan, Emperor Kanmu had no choice but to move the capital of Japan from Heij¨­kyo (today's Nara City) in the first year of Tang Xingyuan (784 AD) in order to get rid of the influence of the Nara Buddhist temple on Japanese politics.  Nagaokakyo (now Nagaokakyo City).

    However, Nagaoka-kyo was not suitable as the capital, so ten years after moving the capital, Emperor Kanmu followed the advice of Seimaro Wakaki and moved the capital of Japan to Heian-kyo in Yamashiro Province in the tenth year of Zhenyuan (794 AD).  , that is, Kyoto!

    Since then, the peaceful era of Japan has begun, and the history of Kyoto as the capital of Japan has also begun!

    Ping An Jing, that is, the location of Kyoto, was based on the Chinese Feng Shui technique, and was built after Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It is a traditional Chinese city with a square system, but it is much smaller than Chang'an in scale.

    Kyoto is about eleven miles long from north to south and nine miles long from east to west, which is only about one-fifth of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

    The Ouchi Imperial Palace where the Emperor lives is located due north of Heian-kyo, with Suzaku Avenue as the center. The city is divided into Ukyo, also known as "Chang'an" and Sakyo, also known as "Luoyang"!

    It's just that the Feng Shui masters of the Japanese country were not good at studying. When choosing the site, they arranged Ukyo "Chang'an" on a swamp. As a result, Ukyo suffered from water damage all year round and had to give up. As a result, only Zuokyo "Luoyang" was left in Kyoto.  !

    Precisely because of this name, the powerful daimyo of the Japanese country frequently came to Kyoto to show off their power in front of the emperor, and they were habitually called "Shangluo"!

    However, this time Cao Ling invaded Kyoto, so he could not be called "Shangluo". After all, Cao Ling was sent by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to help the leader of the Japanese country to correct the traitors, so Cao Ling entered Kyoto to support Bude on behalf of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so he was called "Shangluo".  To "Bon the State"!

    When Cao Ling's army approached Kyoto, most of the people in Kyoto had already fled, and the only ones left were some people who really couldn't find a place to go, and they had no choice but to linger in Kyoto!

    So when Cao Ling arrived in Kyoto with a feeling of destroying the country and destroying heirs, he saw an almost desolate scene. In Kyoto, which was not a small city, there were only thousands of trembling people, under the coercion of hundreds of warriors.  , kneeling on both sides of the street with a look of horror on their faces to express their welcome to Cao Ling's army!

    Seeing such a scene, most of the pride in Cao Ling's heart was extinguished immediately. He waved to Matsudaira Kubo, who immediately ran over, bowed and asked, "What are your orders, Commander-in-Chief?"

    Cao Ling pointed to the withered and dilapidated Kyoto and asked, "Why is the capital of the Japanese country in such a state of decline?"

    Matsudaira Kubo looked in the direction of Cao Ling's finger and said a little strangely: "Returning to the commander-in-chief, I have been to Kyoto several times in my early years, but it is not like this. I think there is a reason why Kyoto is like this now, why not  Go down and ask what happened, and then report it to the Commander-in-Chief!"

    Cao Ling nodded and said: "Go back quickly!"

    Matsudaira Kubo responded: "I humbly obey!"

    Matsudaira Kubo accepted the errand and immediately led his hundred and ten Imperial Army troops into Kyoto City with great fanfare!

    Seeing Matsudaira Kubo bringing people over, a warrior with a gray face bowed and trotted over. When he arrived in front of Matsudaira Kubo, he knelt down and asked: "Excuse me, are you a samurai under the command of General Ming Dynasty?"

    Matsudaira Kubo nodded arrogantly and said: "I am Matsudaira Kubo, the commander of the Imperial Association Army under Lord Cao Ling, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force. The commander asked me to ask you, how did Kyoto become like this?"

    The samurai said helplessly: "Since I heard that General Ming Dynasty was coming to Kyoto, most of the people in Kyoto have fled. Now Kyoto has almost become a dead city. There is not much food left in the city, and even the king is about to run out of food.  !¡±

    Matsudaira Kubo didn't expect that this would be the case, and he was speechless for a while. Cao Ling's evil reputation was so great that it scared everyone in Kyoto away. If he had come a few days later, he would have been killed.  Starved to death in Kyoto!

    After learning about this situation, Matsudaira Kubo did not delay, ran back to Cao Ling, and said with a smile: "Qi Commander, I have made it clear that all the people in Kyoto fled because they were afraid of your reputation. Now Kyoto City  There are less than 3,000 people left here, and the food supply is about to run out, even Shuiwei, the head of the country, is about to run out of food!"

    Cao Ling pushed up his helmet helplessly, thought for a moment and said: "The Imperial Alliance Army went around Kyoto to capture all the fleeing people. Although the Japanese country is small and has few people, the capital must look like a capital!"

    Matsudaira Kubo immediately bowed and said: "I humbly obey!"

      Immediately, one hundred thousand Imperial Army troops went out to arrest people around Kyoto. Needless to say, what will happen during this period? Cao Ling is not willing to take care of it. He has already entered Kyoto with 20,000 expeditionary troops.  !

    This is the first time that the Ming Dynasty has truly occupied the capital of another country in more than 200 years since its founding. Although it is only a small Japanese country, not everyone can have this kind of glory!

    Therefore, the 20,000 expeditionary troops walked on the narrow streets of Kyoto, each with their heads held high and their chests high, with extraordinary momentum. Their neat footsteps shook the ground slightly. Such power made the already fearful people of Kyoto even more afraid!

    They knelt on both sides of the street and lowered their heads to the ground, not daring to raise their heads to look at the military formations passing in front of them. The only thing they were thinking about now was that these Demon King's men should not suddenly become murderous and kill them.  Kill them all to make food!

    Of course, Cao Ling would not let people kill all the people in Kyoto. After all, in order to rule the Japanese country in the future, Hou Shuiwei, the leader of the country, was needed. As the capital of the Japanese country, Kyoto also needed to have a prosperous appearance. Burning it here  Killing and looting is simply not worth the gain!

    Going north along Suzaku Street in Kyoto, it didn't take long for Cao Ling to see a unique garden. The reason why it is called unique is that there are no tall and majestic buildings in the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Everything is compact and elegant. This is not only  Because of the financial constraints of the Japanese country itself, and more importantly, the Japanese country suffered many earthquakes, it was impossible to build too grand a building!

    Gomizuo and Tokugawa Kazuko were waiting for the arrival of Cao Ling in front of the Imperial Palace. From a distance, they saw an army with golden dragon flags coming like a mountain. Gomizuo began to tremble involuntarily, but Tokugawa Kazuko was there.  He held a hand behind him and whispered: "Remember, you are the leader of the Japanese country, and you cannot be looked down upon by others!"

    Hou Shuiwei barely straightened his waist and looked at the army in front of him walking towards him, but the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, and his legs were still trembling slightly under the wide crown clothes!

    Cao Ling rode up to Hou Shuiwei on horseback. Without waiting for Hou Shuiwei to greet him, he took out a roll of imperial edict and shouted loudly: "The Lord of Japan, Hou Shuiwei, receives the edict!"

    Wang Quan translated Cao Ling's words on the side. Hou Shuiwei quickly took Tokugawa Kazuko and the accompanying ministers to kneel down, kowtowed respectfully and said: "I accept the order!"

    Cao Ling unfolded the imperial edict and read: "The Emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven and summons: I have heard that the Japanese country is only a small country, and its leader can not control more than a hundred cities. He actually brazenly claims to be the emperor. It is the most treasonous and unethical. I specially order to conquer the barbarians.  General Cao Ling's crusade against the Japanese country was supposed to exterminate its descendants and destroy its ancestral temples. However, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of our dynasty, once decreed that the Japanese country was a country that could not be conquered. Therefore, I opened one side of the net and ordered the leader of the Japanese country to repent for his sins.  During the period of repentance, you need to kowtow in the direction of the capital of the Ming Dynasty every day and copy the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" a hundred times. During the period of repentance by the leader of the Japanese country, the affairs of the Japanese country will be managed by Cao Ling, the general who conquered the barbarians. In addition, I heard that the Japanese country's affairs  The leader's lineage has a name but no surname. This is an act of betraying the ancestral line and forgetting the ancestors. I feel deeply saddened by it and specially give the word "Huaishun" as the surname of the leader of the Japanese country. I hope that all the Japanese people will cherish the kindness of our Ming Dynasty and practice  Respect my Ming Dynasty and appreciate this!"

    After hearing the imperial edict, Hou Shuiwei turned pale and burst into tears. Endless humiliation surged in his heart. However, in order to survive, he could only kowtow and say: "I am obedient to Hou Shuiwei, and I thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!  !¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
