Chapter 636 0633【Leave no one behind】

These words immediately awakened all the court officials.

Yes, how could an envoy carrying both a letter of credence and a declaration of war when visiting another country?

It was obvious that they had already made preparations to attack Japan, and submitting the credentials was just a formality.

After thinking it through, they looked back at the Chinese envoys' unreasonable and domineering attitude, which was obviously intentional, as if it was just to provoke them.

For a moment, all the ministers in the palace were frightened and looked worried.

Because if it was done on short notice, it would be fine, they would have enough time to prepare and even quell the war.

But if it was planned for a long time, it would be terrible.

This shows that the Central Plains has made sufficient preparations. It is possible that the army and food and supplies are already ready, and that war is inevitable.

Although Japan has expanded at this time, it is not as arrogant as the Ming Dynasty in later generations. The power of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is still there. Now Japan only wants to be on an equal footing with China and no longer be treated as a vassal state, that's all.

As for going to war with China, they dare not even think about it.

Toba swallowed, feeling both fear and pleasure at the same time.

Anyway, he won't be the emperor for many days. It won't be long before he is driven to a temple to become a monk. Now that China is going to attack Japan, he feels relieved.

Thinking of this, he glanced towards the screen calmly.

At this moment, Emperor Shirakawa said, "Mr. Fujiwara, you must lead your troops immediately and kill the Chinese envoy before he arrives at Hyogojin!"

At the critical moment of life and death, he displayed the ruthlessness and decisiveness of a superior.

Since war is unavoidable, let's just go all out and completely break off relations.

Killing Chinese envoys could delay China's attack on Japan and buy time for preparation.

Fujiwara Tadamichi's expression froze, and he said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, the Chinese envoys are escorted by more than 200 elite soldiers with excellent weapons and strong combat power. There are only more than a thousand samurai stationed in Kyoto. I'm afraid..."

He felt a little uneasy about the attack and killing of Chinese envoys.

Moreover, just by looking at the momentum of those 200 soldiers, one could tell that they were an elite force, equipped with powerful crossbows, armor, swords, spears and shields. It would be impossible to completely wipe out such an elite force without a force ten times as large.

Tatata!
The crisp sound of wooden clogs was heard.

Emperor Shirakawa, wearing a loose monk's robe, walked out from behind the screen.

This was the first time he had appeared in such an occasion since he retired behind the scenes.

Emperor Shirakawa's cloudy eyes were filled with sharp gazes. He slowly swept over Fujiwara Tadamichi, Taira Tadamori, and Minamoto Tameyoshi, and said in a loud voice: "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy and Japan is in danger, put away your little thoughts, each family sends a thousand samurai, and make sure to kill all the Chinese envoys, leaving no one alive!"

In fact, the two envoys should have been beheaded in the palace just now.

Once the envoy died, the soldiers in the embassy were leaderless, so they were left to the mercy of the enemy.

Unfortunately, the declaration of war shocked everyone, and the Chinese envoys left before they could react, missing the best opportunity.

But it's not too late to make amends.

"Hai!"

Fujiwara Tadamichi and the other two were shocked and nodded in agreement.

……

……

However, after Mr. Yin and Sun Zhi returned to the embassy, ​​they immediately led 200 naval officers out of the city.

The news of the slaps in the face by Saihong yesterday had spread thoroughly among the warriors guarding the city. Therefore, when the warriors on duty at the city gate saw the Chinese envoys about to leave, they did not dare to stop them and let them pass directly, for fear of angering the great monk Saihong.

Ju Zhukang mixed in with the navy soldiers and swaggered out of the city.

After leaving Heian-kyo, everyone headed straight for Hyogo Port.

As long as they reach the harbor and board the warships, they will be completely safe. With those broken ships of Japan, the Shenzhou warship fleet is completely a dimensionality reduction attack.

After a quick march until the evening, Sun Zhi saw that Mr. Yin was exhausted and out of breath, and could not hold on any longer, so he ordered the march to slow down and began to look for a site for the camp.

Today, the prototype of the military academy has taken shape. When promoted, all generals at the battalion level and above must go to the Qingzhou Army Camp stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture to receive six months of theoretical training.

At this time, the benefits of Han Zhen's forced literacy for soldiers became apparent.

From team leader to captain, and then to battalion commander, the amount of literacy must double with each promotion.

If your literacy level is not up to standard, you have to endure it even if you have enough military merits.

Therefore, if one can generally reach the level of battalion commander, there will be no obstacles in learning military tactics.

During the training period, veterans such as He Guan and Wang Yuan, or veterans who have retired from the battlefield, would give them lectures and share their experiences every day.

The main subject is Qi Men Dun Jia, and the second thing to learn is marching formations, getting water for camps, etc.

You should know that Qimen Dunjia had been used in the military before the Song Dynasty.

It was not until the Song Dynasty, when the trend of valuing culture over military affairs prevailed, that it gradually spread among the people.

Although Qi Men Dun Jia seems mysterious, it can actually be understood as a set of formulas, covering almost all the processes of a war, from the deployment of troops to the calculation of food and supplies, to the placement of military tents when setting up camp, etc.

This formula can enable a newcomer to quickly grow into a qualified general in a short period of time.

But if you want to go one step further and become a famous general, then it depends on your talent.

After all, commanding 10,000 people in battle and commanding 100,000 people in battle are two completely different concepts.

In any field, what matters in the end is talent.

As a man who had once rebelled and led tens of thousands of troops to fight against the Western Army, Sun Zhi already had a solid foundation and grew rapidly after systematic training and study.

Soon, Sun Zhi found a temporary camping site on the east side of a dense forest. It was relatively hidden and close to a water source.

At the same time, the north and south sides are open, so any abnormalities can be discovered in time. We only need to focus on arranging a group of spies in the dense forest.

When a simple military camp was built, the sunset had already sunk into the horizon.

After arranging the sentries and the night shifts, Sun Zhi came to sit next to Ju Zhukang and asked, "How are you, can you still hold on?"

"Hai!"

Juzhu Kang tried to cheer himself up and responded, but his pale face exposed his weakness.

He was stabbed in the lower abdomen when he was escaping yesterday, and the rapid march today caused his wound to split open again.

But he did not dare to complain at all, because once he left the protection of the Chinese envoys, he would surely die.

Mr. Yin opposite took off his official boots and was chewing some dry biscuits.

After swallowing hard, he asked, "Can we start a fire?"

"No."

Sun Zhi shook his head.

Glancing in the direction of Heian-kyō, Mr. Yin said, "It's been a whole day. If they wanted to catch up, they would have come long ago."

Originally, the idea that Japan was against them was just a guess. After walking for a whole day and seeing no pursuers, Mr. Yin couldn't help but let down his guard.

However, Sun Zhi shook his head and said solemnly: "It is better to be safe than sorry. When marching or fighting, it is better to be cautious!"

Chasing soldiers?

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ju Zhukang's heart was filled with shock.

He didn't know what the Chinese envoy had done, but it was definitely a big deal!
