Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 160 The Emperor of Japan

------------

After the news of Kyushu Island reached Kyoto, it immediately shook the entire capital.Device: no ads, full text, more

Kyoto in the early 12th century was still very barren and backward.There are low-rise houses everywhere in the city, and there are many stinky gutters on the street. The breeze blows, exuding a stench.Many civilians don't even have clothes, and a piece of rag is considered clothes.There is a huge gap between Japan and China in this era. It can be said that one is underground and the other is heaven.

The wandering warriors in Kyoto were the first to get the news. At this moment, these wandering warriors were extremely angry. Countless wandering warriors ran rampant on the street with katanas, venting their anger.There are also many wandering warriors gathered together and parading on the street. They kept shouting slogans in their mouths to express their attitude towards this matter.

"Get rid of the Central Plains invaders, we must drive them away!"

"Revenge on them, cut them into pieces! Feed their corpses to the dogs!"

"Dongpu belongs to the Emperor, and it belongs to us brave warriors! No place can be occupied by the enemy!"

The samurai were extremely angry. Some wandering samurai had already set off to Kyushu Island alone, preparing to fight to the death with the Liangshan army on Kyushu Island, while others were waiting for orders from the Emperor or the Regent.

The current emperor of Japan is called Emperor Toba, and he is the No.70 fourth generation emperor in Japanese history.However, although he is the emperor in name, in fact he has very little power.For hundreds of years, the power of the Japanese imperial court has been in the hands of the aristocratic Fujiwara family. In each generation, Fujiwara's family members acted as "regents" and took charge of the government.

After Emperor Toba knew about the time of Kyushu Island, he had no choice but to send someone to inform the current regent, Fujiwara Tadada, and let Fujiwara Tadada and the rest of the ministers come to the palace to discuss matters.

It was already very late in the day, and people came towards the palace one after another.When a short old man arrived in a sedan chair, the rest of the people knelt down on the ground and saluted the old man.

"Get up." The old man said coldly.

Suddenly those people got up, and someone hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Fujiwara, you are here, please come in quickly, His Majesty the Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."

Fujiwara snorted coldly and said, "Is Master Konoe here?"

The messenger next to him hurriedly said: "It's already here."

Fujiwara nodded and strode forward.

This person is naturally the contemporary regent Fujiwara Tadashi, and the "Master Konoe" he called is Konoe Sega, the leader of the samurai group.Over the years, the samurai group has grown stronger and stronger, and has already divided up many rights belonging to the Fujiwara clan.Fujiwara Tadashi is very afraid of the samurai group, so he is also very concerned about Konoe Sega.

When they came to the Yizheng Hall in front, it was already brightly lit, and countless warriors stood at the entrance. These warriors knelt down and saluted after seeing Fujiwara Tadashi.

Fujiwara Tadada ignored the samurai and strode in.I saw that Emperor Toba was here, and countless ministers were also here.Those ministers also knelt down when they saw him, and even Emperor Toba stood up to show his respect.

A sneer appeared on Fujiwara's loyal face, and he was quite satisfied with their performance.

He sat straight in the center of the hall and said, "Since everyone has come, let's discuss how to deal with the Central Plains invaders."

Seeing Fujiwara faithfully sitting down, the emperor dared to sit down, and said: "Master Fujiwara, I have already discussed this matter with Mr. Konoe. We are going to gather the samurai under the daimyo from all over the world to form a powerful army and take the Central Plains The invaders drove out of Kyushu Island."

After finishing speaking, the Emperor looked at Fujiwara Tadada timidly, fearing that Fujiwara Tadada would deny his decision.The current Emperor Toba is only 17 years old, not yet an adult.As a puppet like him, he really doesn't have much status in front of the Lord Regent, Fujiwara Tadada, and everything depends on Fujiwara Tadada's face.

Fujiwara Tadashi frowned, his eyes became colder and colder, and he looked at a minister on his right.

The minister on the right side was dressed like a standard samurai. He was in his thirties and his eyes were full of jingle.

This person is Konoe Sega, the most famous samurai in Japan in this era!He was summoned to the palace by the previous emperor and served as a minister in the palace. He was responsible for teaching samurai throughout Kyoto and was also the teacher of the current emperor.Not only that, he is also the spiritual leader in the hearts of the entire Japanese samurai, and he has a huge appeal among samurai everywhere.This person is a great threat to Fujiwara's loyalty. If the samurai from all over the place are called here, Konoe Sega's rights will be even greater.

Konoe Sega looked at Fujiwara Tadashi, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Does the Lord Regent disagree with this idea? Do you want to watch the Central Plains invaders wreak havoc on Kyushu Island, Lord Regent?"

Fujiwara Tadashi was taken aback, and said: "I'm afraid that the daimyos from all over the world might not hand over the samurai in their hands?"

Although the daimyos in various places were subordinate to the emperor in name, they were actually lords and vassals. They all had the right to administer independently in their own territories, and those samurai belonged to these daimyos in name.It is also very difficult to get these daimyos to become samurai.

A smile appeared on Emperor Toba's face, and said: "Don't worry about this matter, I believe those daimyos will put state affairs first, and will definitely hand over the samurai."

In fact, since a hundred years ago, the emperors of all dynasties have been contacting daimyos from all over the world. They strive to obtain the allegiance of these daimyos and overthrow the rule of the Fujiwara family with the power of the bottom.In fact, by the time of Emperor Toba, they had already won the support of more than half of the daimyo from all over the country, and they already had enough strength to seize power from the Fujiwara clan.It's just that the emperor needs an opportunity, and the matter in front of him is the best opportunity.

Tadashi Fujiwara frowned, his gaze was fixed on the Emperor for a while, and Sega Konoe for a while, feeling faintly aware that something was wrong.He didn't want the emperor to recruit warriors from all over the world, but he had no reason to stop it now.And as a real Dongying person, he also hated the Central Plains invaders very much, and he could not let the Central Plains invaders leave Kyushu Island alone.If the Central Plains invaders gained a foothold in Kyushu Island and continued to attack the Japanese main island, it would be terrible.At that time, all of Japan will face the danger of extinction.

The palace was quiet, Tadada Fujiwara did not speak, and the rest of the ministers did not dare to speak. After a long time, Tadada Fujiwara finally nodded and said, "You can recruit warriors from all over the world to form a large army and drive away the invaders from the Central Plains! However, as regent , I must also serve as a general!"

In Japan, "Shogun" specifically refers to "General Who Conquers Yi", who is the highest military leader in Japan.Over the years, because the Fujiwara family has been in power, the position of "general" has not been set for many years.In the original history, it was not until decades later that the samurai group completely replaced the Fujiwara clan before a new general was established, that is, the famous "shogun" in history. The "generals" were all Japanese for hundreds of years. actual ruler.And now there is still a long time before the shogunate, but the power of the samurai group is growing.

In the face of the invasion of the Central Plains, since it is necessary to call up samurai from all over the country, Tadashi Fujiwara must snatch the position of "general".However, Emperor Toba was unwilling to allow Fujiwara to take up this position faithfully. The emperors of all dynasties have endured humiliation for hundreds of years in order to truly take power.If you can't grasp this opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste of the efforts of successive emperors?

Fujiwara Tadashi looked at the Emperor with a sneer, waiting for the Emperor's compromise.The emperor was only 17 years old. Although he was smart and wise, it was a pity that he had experienced too little. For a while, he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how to deal with Fujiwara Tadashi.

"Since Fujiwara-sama is going to be the general, let Fujiwara-sama be the general!" Konoe Sega said suddenly.

Emperor Toba looked at Konoe Sega in disbelief, while Fujiwara Tadada laughed wildly.

So this matter was settled in this way. In the name of the emperor and the regent, the samurai under the daimyo from all over the place were summoned to form an army to drive out the invaders in the Central Plains.

After the court meeting was over, only the Emperor and Konoe Sega were left in the House of Representatives.The Emperor looked anxiously at Konoe Sega, and said, "Master, why do you support Tadashi Fujiwara as a general? Doesn't this give him more power? If he controls all the samurai, don't we want to be in power? Even more impossible?"

Konoe Sega said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if he becomes a general, the warriors from all over the country may not listen to him... Moreover, this time the Central Plains invaders are very powerful, and our warriors from all over the country are scattered and want to destroy the Central Plains The invaders are impossible. If Tadashi Fujiwara is defeated, how can he serve as a general again? At that time, we will have a reason to drive away Tadada Fujiwara and truly control the government."

Emperor Toba couldn't believe it, and said: "You said that our samurai will lose to the invaders of the Central Plains? I don't believe it! Under the protection of God Amaterasu, our samurai will definitely defeat those invaders of the Central Plains."

Konoe Sega shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will just wait and see! This incident is a crisis for Dongpu, but it is a good opportunity for Your Majesty."

At the moment in Fukuoka, Takedong is still in the daimyo's mansion, holding a Japanese samurai sword in his hand, chopping constantly.After a long time, he broke out in a sweat, then stopped, and exclaimed: "It's really a good knife. It seems that Dongying people's knife-making skills have surpassed ours!"

Japanese samurai swords are actually developed from the horizontal swords of the Tang Dynasty, but the casting process has been improved, which is more conducive to chopping and can play a greater role on the battlefield.It is not without reason that Japanese samurai swords became famous in later generations.

"Governor, this knife is really good, but it's a bit troublesome to make. We have arrested all the knife makers in Kyushu Island according to your order, and they will be shipped to Korea tomorrow." Ximenqing stood aside and said.

"Very good, but except for the knife maker, all other craftsmen must be arrested and transported to Korea! On Kyushu Island, as long as they have some skills, even if they are good at farming, they will be arrested and transported to Korea. Goryeo!" Wu Dong sneered.

"Okay, Governor!" Ximen Qing replied with a smile.

Ximenqing is very happy these days. He likes this kind of arrest work, which can greatly reflect his current power.When he was in Yanggu County, he was just a rich man. Later, he entered Liangshan and was also a businessman. How can he be so refreshing now!

Thinking of the cool place, he couldn't help laughing, with a smile all over his face, he was surprised to see Wu Dong.

Wu Dong was about to ask what happened to Ximenqing, at this moment, Gongsun Sheng walked in and said: "The governor, Han Shizhong came back from selling horses, and he is just outside. There is also a great monk named Lu Zhishen who is also there." Come along."
