Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 39
After Fan Zhuoyuan captured Himeji County, he counted all the war resources stored by the shogunate in the city and in the various fortresses, such as grain, gold, silver, ordnance, and so on.

This batch of resources was originally used to ensure the 20 troops of the shogunate for half a year, which is extremely huge!
Using it to support Fan Zhuoyuan's army can save a lot of resources.

Fan Zhuoyuan first generously rewarded the meritorious soldiers in the army, and compensated the fallen soldiers to make up for the low morale after the heavy casualties.

Even so, the remaining gold and silver, food and grass and other supplies still cannot be counted, and they are piled up like mountains in front of them.

In order to raise this batch of food, grass, gold and silver, the shogunate almost emptied the savings of the people and businessmen in Kinki.

Of course, Fan Zhuoyuan didn't have the kindness to take care of the shogunate's aftermath. Whether the people and businessmen in Kinki starved to death or went bankrupt, he had to wait until he took the capital.

Even if there is compensation at that time, it will only be arranged at the lowest level, just like the disaster relief in Middle-earth, it must be done with work, and food will never be given for nothing.

In this way, there is a lot of cheap labor in vain.

While dealing with these chores in Himeji County,
However, it is interesting to receive many letters. The basic requirement of wealthy families from all over the country who intend to take effect is to preserve their existing territory and interests.

There were also letters to scold Fan Zhuoyuan that he would die badly.

As for the latter, Fan Zhuoyuan still has an elite army of [-] people who is harassing and wandering around. After finding out the person's address, he will go ashore on a battleship and destroy his family.

Fan Zhuoyuan's fierce use of troops can be seen at a glance.

And the envoy sent by the emperor also came to meet Fan Zhuoyuan again.

This time, with a mournful face, he knelt on the ground and said to Fan Zhuoyuan: "General, it's not that His Majesty the Emperor is unwilling to surrender, but that there are many wealthy families below. I fought with the general, so I held His Majesty hostage and couldn't surrender, please, General, don't blame Your Majesty!"

Fan Zhuoyuan looked at the other party expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "This matter is easy to handle, let your emperor urge them to go out of the city to fight against a certain one, and Fan will kill them all, so the emperor will be rescued?"

"Ah... this... I'm afraid the emperor will bear a whole body of infamy..."

Zhang Xi on the side sneered and said, "I want to be a female cousin, but I still want an archway?"

The envoy said with a mournful face: "But His Majesty the Emperor maintains the dignity of the whole of Japan after all. If he is rescued by... the general in a defeated posture, then..."

Fan Zhuoyuan said: "Then what? The general promised to guarantee the prosperity and wealth of the emperor's family at the beginning. Could it be that your emperor still wants to make progress, but can't you hold real power?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." The envoy hastily dropped his body and said, "I just want the general to give His Majesty the last bit of dignity..."

"Decent? We will break through the capital, but then there will be no respect at all.

I don't want to talk nonsense with you. In five days, I will definitely send troops to cross the sea. Let the capital prepare early. "

After finishing speaking, Fan Zhuoyuan ordered the emissary to be thrown out.

He didn't care whether the emperor surrendered or not. Kyoto was already in his pocket, and his only worry was that the emperor's family would escape.

It was an order to the [-] partial divisions to go to Lake Biwa and block the escape route from Kyoto to the east.

Then they called in the [-] Japanese troops who had been recruited. They had little fighting spirit, but it was not a problem to block the mountain road to the east.

The main force landed from the Settsu country in the south of Kyoto, which is later known as Osaka, and attacked from the main gate dignifiedly!

Emperor Kameyama walked back and forth in the palace all day after receiving the messenger's return.

Even when seated, it was as if there were pinholes in the buttocks, twisting from time to time.

I can't eat, I can't drink tea, and the only thought in my mind is to run away!

But where to escape?
The place where they can escape is usually Piwa Lake in Dajin in the east, but news came not long ago that there was an army of Yuan bandits appearing, and it was obvious that General Fan Zhuoyuan had blocked this road.

Then there is Mount Atago in the west, where there is a mountain road leading to the Harima country, but at this time the Harima country has been occupied by the Yuan army, so it is unclear how many troops and Japanese traitors are waiting for him.

Then there is only the narrow and rugged mountain road in the north, which is not only difficult to walk, but also extremely long. Not only does the mountain road have no supplies, but wild animals often appear there.

However, since Yuan Jun thought of blocking himself in advance, the two mountain roads would naturally not let go.

Therefore, Emperor Kameyama was very entangled at this time, he had only one option left to surrender, according to what General Fan Zhuoyuan said, at least he could save his own life, it would be great if he survived!

But those damned martial arts powerhouses in the court actually want to break the jade with the country!
Why don't they go to Yu Sui!As the emperor, I am clearly a puppet, why should I bear the responsibility for the rise and fall of the country!

The Japanese character of evading responsibility and putting down in the face of major events is fully demonstrated in Emperor Kameyama.

"No, we have to find a way to surrender, why don't we sell these wealthy bastards first, but how should we sell them?"

Emperor Kameyama was so heartbroken that he called the envoy and gave him a map, which marked the deployment of the troops of the major aristocratic families and the secret passage into Kyoto...

After Fan Zhuoyuan emptied Himeji County, he only left some basic food for the local people, and then spent two days on Awaji Island preparing troops, and then directly crossed the sea to attack Settsu Kingdom.

As the gateway to Kyoto, Setjin Kingdom is good at attacking but not good at defending.

Fan Zhuoyuan successfully landed without any resistance. Most of the defenders were terrified when they heard the news, and fled in a hurry when they saw Fan Ziqi from a distance.

So much so that the cavalry stalked all over the place without any hindrance, and even rushed under the city wall of Kyoto.

And Fan Zhuoyuan beheaded or chased away the soldiers of the Setjin National War, and led [-] troops to station in Matian City, Toshima County, which is only [-] miles away from Kyoto.

At this moment, he unfolded the blueprint secretly given to him by the envoy, and the secret passage in the blueprint can directly enter the palace.

As long as he could send a group of elite soldiers deep into the palace and at the same time apply pressure from outside, Fan Zhuoyuan would be sure to break through the city in one day.

He shook his head slightly, and now the whole of Japan has been trampled under his feet!
But Fan Zhuoyuan was not very proud, because the day before yesterday in Awaji Island, he received a letter from Fan Wenhu.

It is said that the imperial court has sent envoys to Japan and is expected to arrive in Kyushu within a month.

The reason why it was so fast was because when the typhoon blew three months ago, the imperial court had arranged for people to go to Koryo to investigate the situation of the destruction of the [-] troops on the East Road.

The envoy sent by Fan Wenhu landed in Koryo and met the court envoy. After exchanging news, the envoy sent someone to report the situation to the court, but he himself decided to come in person, so it was two months earlier than Fan Zhuoyuan expected. .

This can only force Fan Zhuoyuan to attack and destroy Japan as soon as possible, and secure the achievement of destroying the country. Otherwise, the envoy will come to give orders on the fly and forcibly seize power, which will be very troublesome.
