Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 29
Speaking, the Emperor looked at the letter Fan Zhuoyuan wrote to him. The content of the letter did not directly agree to join forces, but only told the Emperor that the Yuan army had its own strategy for conquering Japan and was not affected by the outside world.

How to choose, let the Emperor himself decide.

If you are willing to surrender, you will keep your current status and prosperity. If you want to fight, the royal family will be no different from the common people under the sword.

All I could see was that Emperor Kameyama's face turned black, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Your Majesty, what did he say in the letter?"

The Emperor threw the letter to the envoy, who picked it up and looked pale.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, don't lose the big because of small things. No matter what, Fan Zhuoyuan is just a warrior. It's normal to be proud of martial arts. We must not fight against him. Besides, he has promised to guarantee his majesty's status."

Emperor Kameyama said calmly: "You are right! But his tough attitude makes me still worried.

First of all, contact the powerful families in Kinki who are close to the royal family. In the troubled times, no matter how small the power is, I must control it. Even if it is sold, I will sell myself for a high price! "

The emperor's letter quickly spread to the wealthy families in all parts of Kinki, even as far away as Ise, Mino, Echizen and other near Kanto areas.

A large number of powerful families who did not obey the dispatch of the shogunate immediately decided to go to Kyoto to support His Majesty's move.

Nianami Ciyin of Ichijoji Temple in Hokazan, Harima also received a letter from the Emperor. As the former number one swordsman in Japan, even though he has become a monk and is 80 years old, he still has a prestige that is difficult for others to match.

In the cave, Ciyin was reading the letter with one hand, and randomly picked up stones on the ground with the other hand and threw them at Jin Jingjing who was practicing kung fu with a quartz knife not far away.

Every stone is thrown with internal force, fast and heavy.

Kagami Jin had to strike head-on with the quartz knife, otherwise, if he used the blade to block passively, he would be easily broken by stones. After all, the quartz knife itself is hard, but its texture is quite brittle.

Ciyin fired in succession, Jingjing Ren held the knife with one hand, and kept chopping with the change of rhythm, unexpectedly smashing all the more than thirty stones ejected within a few breaths.

There were no stones beside Ciyin, she put down the letter and nodded slightly.

"Compared to the previous period, I have made a lot of progress. Today, there is no leakage, and the quartz knife is not broken. This is considered a preliminary introduction."

Jingjing Ren said: "Master, I feel that my strength and internal strength have increased recently. This quartz knife is so heavy that it can be used like an arm. Can I start to practice that sword?"

Ciyin laughed and said, "That sword? Do you think that sword will definitely be able to kill the Yuan bandit leader you mentioned?"

"Master! If even Ni's sword can't kill him, I'm afraid there is no martial art in this world that can kill him!"

Ci Yin sighed: "I can only say that he can't stop that sword, but I didn't say that that sword alone can kill him."

"Master?"

Ciyin said: "Wait until you can practice the quartz knife until it is as proficient as your katana. Because apart from this method, there is no other method that can create opportunities for you to use that sword."

Hearing this sentence, Jin Jingjing immediately understood what the master wanted to express, so he nodded solemnly.

Ci Yin took the letter and said, "It's from His Majesty the Emperor."

"His Majesty the Emperor? Did he invite Master to come down the mountain to help the shogunate army fight against the Yuan Bandits?"

Ciyin laughed and said: "No, it's an invitation to go to the national calamity and defend the capital. Apart from us, there are also wealthy families from all over the country, and famous swordsmen from all over Japan have been invited."

Jin Jingjing nodded and said: "Our samurai family was originally loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Since this is the case, we should naturally go to Kyoto to serve."

"Well, it's been a long time since famous kendo masters from all over Japan gathered together, and it happens to be beneficial to your brothers' kendo practice."

Jing Jingren shook his head and said: "Master, in the face of foreign enemies, the national crisis should be the first priority."

Ciyin suddenly asked: "Aren, have you seen those merchants and people who came from Kyushu?"

Jing Jingren was startled, he already knew what Master wanted to say, after all, he had seen with his own eyes what the life of the people and businessmen under the rule of the Yuan Kou was like!

"Master, although the Yuan Kou did implement a benevolent government that benefited the people in the occupied areas, but this is digging into the roots of our Japan! When the people agree with them and not with us, I am afraid that Japan will really be destroyed."

Ciyin smiled but didn't speak.

Jingjing Ren said anxiously: "Master! As long as the Yuan Kou are expelled, after learning this lesson, no matter whether it is a samurai or a public family, they will try their best to treat the people well, so as to consolidate the national power!"

Ciyin shook her head slightly, "No, they will only increase their exploitation of the common people more brazenly.

Forget it, it's meaningless to say these things, you go back and clean up, and go to Kyoto with your teacher. "

Kagami Hitoshi looked tangled, he knew what Master said was right, what Hatsuhime and her father had experienced was enough to explain everything.

Maybe Japan will really get better if it is handed over to Yuan Kou?

He shook his head quickly to let himself give up this dangerous thought.

At this time, he may not know that he no longer has much obsession with whether the Yuan army captured Japan.

The only obsession is to kill Fan Zhuoyuan, to avenge his dead friend and the young second Dazai who trusted him.

After Jing Jingren left, Ciyin moved the rosary beads in her hands at a high speed, and unconsciously crushed all the rosary beads into powder.

Ciyin watched the wind blow away the powder, sighed, and said to himself: "That sword can't be passed to him..."

Suddenly his expression became ferocious, and he said again: "But among all the disciples, he is the one who cares the least and is the most suitable for cultivation!"

Ciyin's expression changed violently, and he struggled crazily in his heart. Finally, he regained his kindness and said, "The devil in the sword is so strong. I have practiced for decades before Buddha and I have not been able to completely suppress it. How can I teach him?"

……

June to September is the season of frequent storms, and the storms at sea do not stop until October.

At this time, the system suddenly released the latest task:
"Mission: Destroy Japan within four months!

Achievement conditions: 1. Capture the whole family of the Emperor;
2. Eliminate the Kamakura shogunate army;
3. Behead Hojo Tokimune, the ruling shogunate.

Rewards: 16 proficiency points will be rewarded for reaching the first and third goals, and [-] proficiency points will be rewarded for reaching the second goal. A total of [-] proficiency points will be rewarded. "

Seeing this new mission, Fan Zhuoyuan knew that he could no longer wait for the results of the military training, and at this time the [-] army was leading the new with the old, and the combat effectiveness had not declined.

Taking advantage of these few months, using the copper mine inventory in Kyushu Island to build copper cannons and expand armaments, the strength is more sufficient than before. It is not impossible to destroy Japan in four months.

Fan Zhuoyuan immediately prepared to lead the army to continue the conquest of Japan, and his father Fan Wenhu had also arrived at Dazaifu.

Fan Wenhu told Fan Zhuoyuan that on the day the storm stopped, he had sent messengers to the court to report the situation of the battle, and at the same time, it was also to claim credit and prevent false accusations from the generals of the Eastern Route Army who retreated back.

After hearing this, Fan Zhuoyuan calculated the time in his mind.

It will take at least two months for the envoy to cross the sea and then return to Yuan Dadu by land.

It will take at least two months for Yuanting to discuss the military situation internally, decide on a strategy against Japan, and then send troops or imperial envoys over.

In this way, four months to and fro, exactly the same as the task period stipulated by the system!
Fan Zhuoyuan also didn't know if the system had the ability to predict the future, in short, he had to conquer Japan as soon as possible before the arrival of the court envoy, and take the credit for destroying the country.

In this way, no one in the imperial court, which values ​​military merit, can compete with itself, and it also obtains a certain political status for the southerners who have always been discriminated against by the north.

The most important thing is that only by putting the extermination of Japan in front of the imperial court can we establish a foundation in Japan as soon as possible.
