Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Jimmu personally served a bowl of rice to Prince Nao. This son had placed too many hopes on him.  ¡ê¡ØDian Dian Novel, looking at his son's depressed appearance, Emperor Jimmu felt very sad in his heart.  He is trying to use various methods to awaken his son's fighting spirit. There are countless Han troops and Japanese rebels outside the city.  He believed that father and son would be able to defeat the powerful enemy if they worked together at this time.  "One failure means nothing. There is no smooth sailing in this life, and you are not afraid of falling. If you are afraid, you are afraid of not being able to stand up. As long as you can stand up, it is good. You are the son of the Xu family and the future monarch of this country.  . Now Japan is in crisis, we cannot bow to the Han people. "As a god-like emperor, his words are lacking and his persuasion is powerless.  But every sentence reveals the love of a loving father for his son.  Parents do not seem to need a reason to love their children.  There seems to be no reason for parents to prefer one child to another.  Emperor Jimmu persistently favored Prince Naoki. For some reason, he just liked this son. There was no reason for him to like him from the moment he was born.  Prince Nao is also very competitive. He has been competitive since he was a child, and he is far better than his younger brothers in martial arts and literature.  In Emperor Jimmu's view, this was the result of the royal family's good genes.  Emperor Jimmu was proud to have such a son.  Prince Zhi lowered his head and said nothing, but his face was no longer so lonely.  It seemed that his depressed mood had improved a lot. He raised his head and looked at his father.  His lips moved and he swallowed.  "What do you want to say? If you have anything to say, just say it. I am your father, and now Japan is still the domain of the Xu family. Those young people outside the city are insignificant, and I don't need to care about them." Emperor Jimmu behaved like a man, and  Much like a father.  As a father, you should be like a mountain, protecting your children from wind and rain.  To a certain extent, Emperor Jimmu did.  He is a qualified father.  "Father, will you still let me lead the troops?" Prince Zhi's eyes were distracted, but he was full of hope after saying these words.  "What are you talking about? You are the heir to the empire. You want to lead troops, why not? My father immediately issued an order that all Kyoto soldiers except the Guards will be at your disposal." Emperor Jimmu seemed to recover when he saw his son.  Got some fighting spirit.  Immediately ordered with joy.  After experiencing such a disastrous defeat, he could still hand over the army to Prince Zhi.  I have to say that Emperor Jimmu made decisions without hesitation in employing people.  Prince Zhi seems to have regained his fighting spirit because of his father's love and care. He wears neat clothes and patrols the city defense every day.  With his efforts, the morale that had been low due to Yun Xiao's crossbow seemed to have returned to the soldiers.  Yun Xiao looked at the changes at the top of the city and seemed helpless and helpless.  Attack the city!  Facing such a strong city, it is impossible not to pay heavy casualties.  Stalemate!  The city of Kyoto is plentiful with food and grass, and Mr. Ouyuan said it could last for two years.  Now that there are tens of thousands fewer defenders, they will be fine even if Yun Xiao wears them down.  What worries Yun Xiao the most is logistics.  Supplies for the peninsula must pass through Tsushima, then go to Fukuoka and then disembark from Fukuoka to Kobe.  Finally, they were transported to the military front by land, and the long transportation line was extremely fragile.  If the wolf-like Japanese naval army were to attack again, the consequences would be disastrous.  Aiko has been gone for four days, and no news has come back from the front.  I don¡¯t know if those guys in Yokosuka can be instigated by Aiko to rebel.  Prince Li is still in Kyoto. If the emperor thinks of his younger brother again.  The consequences of sending him to harass your own transportation lines would be disastrous.  "Master Marquis. Now the soldiers in Kyoto are hiding behind the battlements. If they don't show their heads easily, our three-bow crossbows will be useless. Why not use gunpowder crossbows!" Goshawk walked in to report.  "No. The gunpowder crossbow has been depleted and there is not much left. We still have to keep it to blow up the city gate. If it doesn't work in two days, we will attack the city of Kyoto. I want to see what is so great about Kyoto." "Master Hou.  , Why wait another two days? " "Because after two days, a batch of gunpowder crossbows and grenades will arrive in Kobe. In order to reduce casualties, our family can only use these gunpowder crossbows to attack the city.  A lot." Reminiscent of the stubbornness of Japanese soldiers in later generations, Yun Xiao felt that attacking Kyoto required a large number of firearms to ensure minimal casualties.  The scale of gunpowder workshops in the peninsula is very limited, and there are no Qiang laborers who can skillfully operate them.  Only some death row prisoners could do the work of preparing gunpowder and manufacturing gunpowder crossbows.  These people are not familiar with operating procedures.  It has caused several violent explosions in the King's City.  Each casualty was significant, and each explosion resulted in the loss of a large amount of gunpowder.  As a result, the gunpowder on the front line was unable to make ends meet, and Canghu sent several letters to apologize.  Yun Xiao thought that it was not easy for him to guard the King's City, so he wrote back to comfort him every time.  Aiko came back calmly, bringing neither good news nor bad news.    "The navy in Yokosuka was already in civil strife, and news of Prince Rei's imprisonment reached Yokosuka. The navy was divided into two groups. One group advocated immediately going to Kyoto to rescue Prince Rei. The other group advocated holding back for fear that the actions of the navy would irritate His Majesty the Emperor.  This provoked the extremely jealous Emperor to kill Prince Rei. The two sides had a dispute in Yokosuka. When I went there, the two groups were so quarrelsome that many people even wanted to fight each other, although there were many people there.  Miyako's old friend. But at this time, I don't know who can do it. Now everyone in the Yokosuka navy has one idea, and their political opinions have split them into several groups.  A battle is not far away. In any case, this naval force will not be able to affect Lord Hou's actions in the short term. "For Yun Xiao, Aizi's words are good news.  Internal strife has divided the mighty Japanese navy, which is great.  It doesn¡¯t have to be short-term, just give yourself three days.  As long as the batch of gunpowder crossbows arrives in Kobe, I believe it will take less than three days to capture Kyoto City.  "Father, I don't know what kind of mistakes Prince Rei and his uncle have made. Why did you imprison him in the palace?" Prince Nao asked Emperor Jimmu with a suspicious look on his face. Only he dared to say this.  If anyone else told me, they would be pushed out, beheaded, and hung on a flagpole to dry.  "I don't know, but I suspect that Prince Rei has also defected to the Han people like Oon-kun. Just imagine, the news of your siege in Nasuno has just returned to Kyoto. He came to your door hoping to lead troops to rescue. Yokosuka is three or four days away from Kyoto.  Could it be that he had no idea about the journey? "Furthermore, I always feel that it is strange that you are surrounded. According to Minamoto Yoshikyo, he fought with the Han people and then retreated until near Kyoto. Why did you leave Kyoto the next day?"  We were surrounded as soon as we set off? If we say that Kyoto was not careful, I would not believe that this was planned by the Han people. Then why did the Han people know the mountains and rivers of Japan so well, whether it was to occupy the right horse or not?  Fukuoka conquered the pass. It seems that every plant and tree of Japan has been implanted in their hearts. Do you dare to say that there is no traitor in Japan? In my opinion, this traitor is probably your uncle Prince Li!  There is discord on the surface, but privately, your uncle has always been dissatisfied with me when he succeeded to the throne. I would not be surprised at all if he seduces the Han people to occupy Japan. " Emperor Jimmu has been thinking about Prince Li these days.  The more I think about it, the more Prince Li looks like a young man.  Moreover, the motive for committing the crime can be deduced from the results, and it can be deduced with nose and eyes.  "Father, what should we do with the naval forces in Yokosuka? Those naval forces are all old subordinates of Prince Li and his uncle, and he is the only one who can hold them down. I sent people to conduct reconnaissance, and the Han people's supplies mostly go overland. It's not as good as that.  We threatened the life of Prince Li and his uncle and sent the Yokosuka navy to attack the Han fleet from the rear. This would put the Han army in a disadvantaged position and it would not take long for the Han army to retreat.  If we return to Kobe, we can easily escape the siege of Kyoto." I have to say that this prince is very smart.  This strategy can be considered a vicious one, taking advantage of the weaknesses of Prince Li's men and threatening their attack.  Emperor Jimmu touched the beard on his chin and thought about it, let alone this is a way.  These days, the Han army often used their long-range crossbows to kill Japanese soldiers on the city wall.  That kind of crossbow arrow is as thick as a javelin, and anyone who hits it will be killed immediately.  So much so that the Japanese soldiers can only duck their backs on the city wall and hide under the battlements while walking without daring to show their faces.  I heard that the thing can explode, and its power is astonishing, like thunder.  If the Han people really want to go all out to attack the city, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to defend the city of Kyoto.  "This is a good idea, but how can I get your Prince Li to write a letter? Now he is very loyal to me. As long as I let him go, he will rebel immediately and join the Han camp." "Father.  Emperor, this is not easy. If you send the Crown Princess to Yokosuka, the problem can be solved." Emperor Kammu's eyes lit up and he looked at his son with admiration. He is indeed a teachable child.  The Crown Princess is the mother of Prince Li, so it is natural that no edict should be issued to threaten her with such a thing.  If Prince Rei's mother goes to Yokosuka and says, then there will be no problem.  As long as the evidence is not left in black and white, you can turn a blind eye and deny it in the future.  "Okay, that's a good idea. Just do as my son said, uh It's not appropriate for me to go see the Crown Princess, so you should go and see her. Hehe Hahaha!" Thinking that Prince Rei couldn't defeat him after all, Emperor Jimmu beamed with joy.  .  Putting aside His Majesty's reserve, he burst into laughter.  "Then the child will go now." Seeing Emperor Jimmu's appearance, Prince Nao couldn't help but was stunned for a moment, saluted, and then went to the harem.  The excited Emperor Kammu was left alone in the main hall having fun.    "Hey, after fighting for a lifetime, you can't compete with me. I feel so relieved to have a son like this. Haha!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
