    When the eunuchs and maids in the palace saw someone finally breaking into the palace, they immediately fled.

    For the past two days, there have been constant sounds of fighting in the city, and the entrances and exits of the palace have been blocked. People in the palace also know that someone will enter the palace sooner or later, but panic is inevitable when things happen.

    Chao Yong asked people to capture a few eunuchs and palace maids who were running slowly, and said: "Let everyone come to the square in front of the palace, and then I will send troops to search the palace, and behead all those who are caught hiding."

    An eunuch actually replied in trembling Chinese: "Yes."

    Chao Yong looked at the eunuch in his thirties in surprise and said, "How much Chinese do you know?"

    The eunuch said: "I can all understand it and know some Chinese characters."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, there is another talent, then you are responsible for delivering orders. If you do a good job, I can let you go free."

    When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes."

    Chao Yong came to the palace hall with his soldiers and admired the Korean architecture.

    People in the palace kept rushing to the square outside, huddled together and shivering, waiting for Prince Daliang to make his move.

    Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng came in from outside and reported: "King Wang Kai of Goryeo has arrived."

    Chao Yong turned around and said with a smile: "There will be no more Goryeo in the future. He will be one of my captives in Daliang."

    Guo Sheng nodded and said, "Yes."

    Chao Yong led people out. Thousands of people had gathered in the square outside the hall. At the front were a dozen Korean guards holding knives to protect a young man who looked very weak. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why are there still people there?"  arms?"

    Hebule said: "When we entered the city, some guards escaped into the palace, and I didn't lead anyone to search for them."

    Chao Yong said to Guo Sheng on the side: "Hand over their weapons, any offenders will be killed without mercy."

    Guo Sheng was originally afraid of hurting the life of the King of Goryeo. After hearing the prince's order, he no longer had any worries and led his men to press forward.

    Wang Kai can also understand Chinese and heard Chao Yong's execution order.  He quickly asked the guards to put down their weapons.

    He has a weak temperament and was ostracized by his grandfather and father-in-law Li Ziqian just after he ascended the throne. He has been under house arrest for the past two years. If Li Ziqian had not married his two daughters to protect him, he would have been murdered by Li Ziqian long ago.

    For him, as long as he can save his life, as for whether the country will be subjugated or not, that has always been out of his control.

    The palace guards were not willing to risk their lives. They all threw down their weapons after seeing the king's order.

    Guo Sheng led people to escort all the guards out.

    There were more women than eunuchs in the Goryeo Palace, but Chao Yong found them boring after just one glance.

    Without the plastic surgery technology of later generations, Koreans would basically have big face and small eyes.  It is difficult to find a few women who are comparable to the maids in the palace.

    Chao Yong asked Hebule, "How are these women?"

    Hebule looked at the woman below greedily and said, "It looks good."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Take your people to sweep across the country of Goryeo. Within half a month, I will end the war in Goryeo. All these women will be rewarded to you. I have brought people from the royal ticket number, and they will take care of you."  I¡¯ll estimate the loot and exchange it for you in silver notes. The silver notes are easy to carry and you can exchange them for gold and silver when you return to Prairie Road.¡±

    Hebule also felt that it was difficult to continue fighting with the things he had grabbed. He was immediately overjoyed when he heard that he could exchange them for silver notes with a royal ticket number.

    After the establishment of Prairie Road.  The Royal Ticket Company has also expanded to the newly built city on Prairie Road. All ministries have heard of the Royal Ticket Company's business, but their wealth is basically cattle and sheep, and there is no way to save the Royal Ticket Company.  And they prefer the reality of gold and silver in their hands.  Of course, the customers of the Royal Ticket Office on Prairie Road are mainly businessmen traveling between the grasslands and the hinterland, not these poor tribes who only have wool.

    But after looting Kaijing, they had enough money to deposit in the Royal Bank.

    Of course, the royal ticket number will also make a lot of money from it, in addition to gold and silver.  These grassland people who have only seen cattle and sheep will not know its value even if they grab the Korean national treasure.  Of course, the royal ticket office has no interest in these barbarian national treasures. The most they can do is take them back and auction them off to some rich people in the Central Plains who like rare things.

    Chao Yong stayed in Kaijing for ten days and then took the Prince fleet to Busan.

    Busan is located on the southeastern border of Goryeo.  There are countless small islands walking on the calm, mirror-like sea, and there are endless cliffs on the shore. The scenery is very good.

    According to the Goryeo Erjizi, many Goryeo emperors visited here. Of course, it has now become a small bay in Daliang.

    The North Sea Fleet continued to travel between Korea and Dengzhou, sending batches of Korean slaves back to the Central Plains.

    It is much closer to travel between two places by sea than by land.

      On April 1, Chao Yong led Wu Song's troops and 10,000 Jurchen soldiers, and 80,000 grassland vassal troops to march eastward to Japan. Hua Rong led his troops and 20,000 grassland road vassal troops to continue the purge of Goryeo.

    The task Chao Yong gave him was to return the world to a clean paradise, ensuring that there was not a single Korean on it, waiting for the people to move to Daliang and re-develop it in the future.

    Since Daliang announced that Japan would be wiped out in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Japan sent several waves of envoys to sue for peace. However, every time the envoys landed, they were captured by Daliang and directly stamped as slaves and sent to the mines.

    After Japan sent envoys several times but never returned, they also knew that Daliang was determined to go to war with them, so they stopped making unnecessary peace negotiations and directly began to prepare to defend against Daliang's attack.

    Japan has deployed almost all its national troops on the coasts of Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, and built a stone wall at Hakata Bay, the best landing site on Kyushu Island, to prevent the Daliang army from landing.

    On the other hand, Japan also built a fleet and wanted to keep the great army out of the country. However, after the spies saw the towering Prince, the Japanese wisely hid all their warships.

    The situation in Japan is somewhat similar to that of Goryeo. Wang Kai married his aunt, while Emperor Toba of Japan married Shoko Fujiwara, the adopted daughter of his grandfather, Emperor Shirakawa.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Prince Shirakawa and Fujiwara Shoko actually have an affair, which means that Fujiwara Shoko is serving both his grandfather and grandson at the same time.

    Emperor Shirakawa has held power in Japan for decades. It can be said that he is getting stronger with age. Emperor Toba can only tolerate this situation.

    "However, Emperor Shirakawa seems to know what kind of person his grandson is. Although the Japanese are all ninjas, there are not many people who can endure this.  So in the third year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Shirakawa asked Emperor Toba to abdicate and became Emperor Toba. The emperor was succeeded by the eldest son of Toba and Fujiwara Shoko, who became Emperor Sutoku.

    The policy implemented by Japan at this time was the imperial government established by Emperor Shirakawa. The emperor abdicated and became the emperor, and the emperor recruited troops called the Northern Samurai.  Orders issued in the name of Yuanxuan have higher authority than the emperor's edict.  The emperor became a monk and became the emperor of France, and the rights of the emperor were transferred to the hands of the emperor.

    The Imperial Government was established by Emperor Shirakawa in order to solve the regency system in which Japanese power was delegated to his relative, the Fujiwara clan. The power of the emperor was weakened, and the Fujiwara family relied on the regent and guanbai appointed by the emperor. Naturally, it was worthless.

    In fact, Emperor Sotoku was not the son of Emperor Toba, but the son of Emperor Shirakawa and Shoko Fujiwara. Emperor Toba helped his grandfather raise his son for several years, and then he was ousted from the throne by his grandfather's son. You can imagine his frustration.  And know it.

    "But Emperor Toba is also a ninja, so he continues to endure.  I endured it until my grandfather Shirakawa Patriarch died.  Emperor Toba took control of the real power and began to attack.  He gave his other son to Emperor Chongtoku as his adopted son. In name, Emperor Chongtoku was still his son. Naturally, there was no reason to give his younger son to his eldest son as his eldest son.

    ¡°Perhaps Emperor Toba was using this move to vent his anger, saying that Emperor Sutoku was not his son.

    ?????????????????????? Now all Japan knows that the Emperor¡¯s family is in chaos.

    Within two years, the monk Toba Emperor asked Emperor Sotoku to abdicate, and then let his biological son succeed him as Emperor Konoe.

    "It's a pity that Emperor Konoe died not many years ago, and then Emperor Toba and Emperor Sutoku began to fight.  Emperor Sutoku hoped that he or his son would become emperor.  However, the powerful Emperor Toba is not willing to be an old ninja again. He is determined not to let his grandfather's bastard become the emperor again, but to let his other son become the emperor.

    In the end, Emperor Toba, who had endured it for more years, had the superior ninja skills and made his other son the emperor.  That is Emperor Go-Shirakawa.

    After the death of Emperor Toba, Emperor Sotoku, who had endured for many years, also showed some moral integrity. He entangled the samurai who were loyal to him and started a war with Emperor Go-Shirakawa, which was the Homoto Rebellion.

    The Baoyuan Rebellion allowed the samurai class to interfere in politics.  It also allowed the later shogunate system to take root.

    The history of Japan can be said to be the chaotic history of the emperor's family, or it can be said to be the history of the emperors practicing ninjutsu throughout the generations.

    During the Baoyuan Rebellion, Emperor Chongde was defeated and exiled. After Chongde was exiled.  It took three years to write five Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in blood, hoping to atone for his sins, and begged the court to send the Buddhist scriptures to Kyoto and put them in the temple. However, this request was rejected, and the emperor said that his life was meaningless.

    Chongde suffered a complete mental breakdown after being exiled for eight years. From then on, he stopped trimming his hair and nails, and soon he became what the Japanese call a tengu.

    On the scriptures written in his own blood, he wrote: I copied Buddhist scriptures to accumulate good karma and atone for my sins. Since I will not be forgiven, let those karma go into the three evil realms to help me become Japan's great devil and kill the people for the king.  Regicide for the people.  After writing the scriptures, he sank into the bottom of the sea, bit his tongue and committed suicide at the age of forty-six.

      After Sotoku's death, disasters continued in Japan, and there was no peace for both the government and the public. The Japanese felt that this was all a curse from Emperor Sotoku, so they built temples to honor him.  They worshiped the main gods together, but this did not seem to quell Chongde's resentment, so a disaster that destroyed the court - the "Ping clan's dictatorship" came.

    Japan has since fallen into a seven-hundred-year-long war. It was not until Emperor Meiji sent a special envoy to the Shiroho Imperial Mausoleum to bring Sotoku's spiritual throne to the Shiroho Shrine in Kyoto for enshrinement that Japan ushered in a brief period of peace.

    People are afraid of the curse of Sotoku, calling it "Japan's Great Demon Fate" and "The God of Disaster". According to the legend, the image of Emperor Sotoku is a golden kite, which resembles the protector god in Buddhism, holding a steel pestle in his hand.  With wings attached to his body, he leads all the tengu to guard the white peak.

    In Japan, which is said to have eight million gods, the number one wraith spirit and the number one demon king are generally said to be Emperor Chongtoku.

    Back to the main story, four years after the apocalypse, Emperor Shirakawa is still alive. Emperor Toba can only be a ninja, watching his queen go to play with his grandfather every day. Emperor Sotoku, the most resentful spirit in Japan, is still a six-year-old little shota.  He didn't know yet that the person he called dad every day was actually his nephew.

    The person responsible for the defense of Kyushu Island is Japanese Kanshiro (equivalent to the Prime Minister, but in the era of Yuanzheng, he existed in name only) Fujiwara Tadamichi.

    The Daliang soldiers and horses crossed the sea from Goryeo and captured the two relatively large islands of Tsushima and Yiqi Island first.

    Chao Yong originally thought that the Japanese on the two islands should have evacuated to Kyushu Island or Honshu Island, but he did not expect that the Japanese on the two islands actually tried to resist on the spot.

    What I didn¡¯t say was that 50,000 prairie people pressed forward and killed the resisting Japanese. All the others were sent back to the Central Plains as mining slaves.

    Within a few days, the army arrived at Hakata Bay, and Chao Yong also found out that the Japanese were building stone walls in Hakata Bay.  However, they did not land in other places, but prepared to crush the Japanese with powerful force and let the Japanese know that Daliang was irresistible.

    Chao Yong also knew that the Yuan Dynasty had twice conquered Japan, but both failed.  But this time Daliang came prepared. All the ships of the North Sea Fleet were sea-going ships, and their ability to withstand wind and waves was unquestionable.  Moreover, he has sent people to inquire about the maritime merchants who travel between the two countries all year round. There are many hurricanes in Japan in August. He is scheduled to go on an expedition in April, preparing to use three months to support a Japanese puppet to mine gold and silver for him.

    Hakata Bay has clear water and beautiful scenery.  However, when huge ships appeared on the sea in the distance, the Japanese on the island had no intention of admiring the sight of thousands of sails competing. They all clutched their weapons and prepared to fight.

    The Prince dropped anchor a few miles offshore to prevent it from running aground.

    Chao Yong held a glass of orange juice in one hand and a telescope in the other to look at the situation in Hakata Bay.

    Orange juice is a must-have drink for the navy to prevent septicemia during naval expeditions.

    Seeing that Little Japan actually planned to build a few stone walls to prevent the fleet from docking, he said to the soldiers on the side in a funny way: "Order the frigate to move forward and use artillery to blast away the stone walls."

    The flagman standing above the mast quickly raised the flag, and the three frigates of the Prince sailed forward.  It stopped less than a mile from the shore, facing the shore with the side of the boat.

    The Japanese on Kyushu Island stood behind the stone wall and looked at the three rarely seen large ships in confusion. They didn't know what the Daliang army was doing.

    But soon, the Japanese knew what Daliang was doing.  Streams of flames emerged from the iron pipes protruding from the side of the ship, and then loud noises were heard on the island.

    Immediately, gaps of different sizes appeared in the stone wall, and many archers behind the stone wall were blown to pieces.

    The bombardment by the three frigates of the Prince lasted for half an hour, destroying all the stone walls that the Japanese had painstakingly built.  It also caused the Japanese to flee the shore.

    The Japanese samurai basically knew that Daliang had gunpowder that could blow up the city wall, but they didn't know that Daliang's ship was still in the sea and could hit the shore.  Many Japanese civilians were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.  Pray to the gods and Buddhas to save them.

    The Buddhist emperor who became a monk controlled the political power and made Buddhism very prosperous in Japan. After Daliang destroyed the religion, many monks traveled east to Japan to preach, making Buddhism even more prosperous.

    At this time, the samurai had not yet formed Bushido. They were just a bunch of killing machines who practiced martial arts every day. They did not believe in any religion, so they were easily used by the later emperors and emperors to deal with the emperor.

    The samurai just thought that Daliang's firearms were powerful, and did not think that it was a ghost or god's method.

    The artillery of Daliang shocked the Japanese, and also shocked the grassland ministries and Jurchens behind.

    Chao Yong saw that the stone wall had been destroyed, so he ordered the North Sea Fleet to move closer and let the grassland ministries and Jurchens land.

    Seeing the Daliang soldiers landing, the Japanese also reacted and rushed to the coast to set upBow shooting.

    The vassal armies and Jurchen soldiers on the grassland also fired arrows to fight back. The archery skills of the grassland vassals and Jurchen soldiers were better than those of the Japanese, and the range of their bows and arrows was also farther than the bows used by the Japanese.  The Japanese archers were quickly suppressed, and a group of vassal troops marched through the sea water to grab the case.

    Fujiwara Tadamichi, who was commanding from behind, saw the Daliang soldiers landing and hurriedly asked the samurai wearing iron armor to come forward and fight.

    The armor of the Japanese samurai was also very well made, and it was almost impossible for bows and arrows to penetrate it at long distances. After suffering very few casualties, the Japanese samurai fought in close quarters with the coalition forces composed of grassland ministries and Jurchens.

    The grassland ministries and the Jurchens did not pay much attention to the short Japanese at first, but after fighting for a while, they found that these short Japanese had very high fighting skills. Although they were not as strong as them, their fighting skills were enough to make up for their small strength.  shortcomings, and short Japanese people are more flexible.

    There was a fierce fight on the coast, but Chao Yong was watching leisurely with orange juice in one hand and a telescope in the other.

    Wu Song watched for a while and said: "The combat effectiveness of the grassland tribes under the horses is not as good as on the horses. Let me lead my troops to fight up. Within an hour, I guarantee to repel the Japanese."

    Chao Yong put down the telescope and slowly lay down on the rocking chair behind him. He looked at the still fierce sun above his head and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient. The Japanese samurai are good at fighting. Let the vassal soldiers play with them first.  After half an hour, you can lead your troops to kill them again."

    Wu Song looked at the anxious battle situation on the shore, but he couldn't lie down like Chao Yong.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "It's still early, sit down and have a rest. I spent money to raise them just to let them fight. I'm going to find a few grassland tribes and let them become mercenary tribes to fight for my beams for generations."  Like this Japanese samurai, he learned fighting skills from an early age. What do you think?"

    Hearing this, Wu Song frowned and said, "If there really is such a tribe, wouldn't it be difficult to suppress them if they cause chaos?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "We can control their population. Ten thousand people like this is enough. If there are more than ten thousand people, let them go to the battlefield. They can always kill people invisible."

    Wu Song was horrified and said: "There are more than hundreds of thousands of people in various tribes on the grassland, right? The prince only plans to keep 10,000 people?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "How could it be? They are already my people in Daliang. As long as they don't rebel, I won't kill them indiscriminately. For most tribes, we want to civilize them and let them become our Han people. Just choose one.  Come out from the tribe and let them become my mercenary tribe in Daliang and fight for my Daliang for generations.¡±

    Wu Song thought for a while and said: "The prince can control hundreds of thousands of people while he is alive. I'm afraid it will be difficult to control him in the future."

    When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but think about it.

    He naturally weakened and assimilated the Jurchen and grassland tribes in order to reduce some enemies that were difficult to deal with for his descendants. If a fighting tribe is really created and some descendants neglect supervision, it is likely that the tribe will expand and eventually become a disaster for Daliang.

    Thinking of the horror, Chao Yong gave up the idea.  (To be continued)
