"die!"

Sanada Yukimura retreated to the Nijo Imperial Palace in the city. His cross spear swept through the pursuing Xia army cavalry, killing hundreds of them, dripping with blood, and temporarily repelled the Xia army's pursuit.

Sanada Yukimura did not dare to stay longer, so he joined up with Sanada Masayuki and led the remaining defeated troops in Kyoto to retreat to Tenno Mountain outside the West Castle.

If Kyoto cannot be defended, then the only choice is to cut off one's wrists.

The Xia army broke through Nancheng, attacked the Nijo Imperial Palace and other important places in the city, and captured them one after another.

Chuwu's goal became the palace of Emperor Zhengqin.

Emperor Masachikamachi is the currently reigning emperor. The various daimyo coerce the emperor to order the princes, so they will not do anything to the emperor, nor will they do anything to the ministers of the previous court. They will even provide money to support the emperor and ministers, so that the samurai class can Justifiably rule the four islands of Japan.

The shogun has always relied on this wonderful system to maintain his rule.

Various Xia army generals led their cavalry galloping through Kyoto!

As long as the city wall is breached, Kyoto will be completely flat for the Xia army's cavalry, and there will be no danger to defend it!

The royal wild boar charged all the way to the palace, causing panic in the palace.

Kyoto was built in imitation of Chang'an and Luoyang, and its layout was similar to the cities in the Central Plains to a certain extent, so it felt somewhat familiar to the generals of the Xia army.

These cavalry galloped across the remaining defeated soldiers in the city until they controlled all the city gates and drove all the remaining defeated soldiers out of Kyoto!

When Kyoto fell, it was already sunset on the afternoon of the third day of the Kyoto War. Chu Wu led Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying and others to the front of the palace.

Emperor Masachimachi was unwilling to leave Kyoto, and no one thought of the fallen emperor in the chaos.

To put it bluntly, the emperor during this period was in poverty and needed financial relief from the daimyo. If there was no "great righteousness" at his disposal, the daimyo might not be willing to save the emperor of the four Japanese islands.

"poverty."

Chuwu's first thought when he saw Emperor Masachin's palace was "poor".

The Imperial Palace in Xiacheng, where Chu Wu grew up, occupies an extremely large area, with a dancing pavilion and a singing stage.

In comparison, the palace in front of me was in dilapidated condition and could not be called a palace at all.

Chu Wu believed that any palace or academy in the Central Plains would not be as luxurious as the dilapidated Imperial Palace in Kyoto, but it would certainly be brand new.

Obviously, Emperor Masachimachi, who even required daimyo to pay for his enthronement ceremony, had to support his family and could not afford the cost of repairing the palace, so he could only watch the palace gradually decline. The palace, like the authority of Emperor Masachimachi, plummeted. .

As for asking the daimyo to donate money to repair the palace?

The daimyo are busy waging wars and recruiting troops. Before the world is completely stable, how can they have the spare money to repair the palace for the emperor who is beyond his reach?

With that kind of money, it would be better to recruit a thousand more ashigaru.

Zhuge Liang dismounted and walked on the stone road of the dilapidated palace: "I didn't expect that the Emperor of Japan would be so depressed. It's really unexpected. From this point of view, I can't get much benefit from the Emperor of Japan."

"What the military advisor said makes sense. My mother often told me that great things can be accomplished only if we have soldiers and money. From this point of view, my mother is indeed right.

"

Chu Wu thought of his mother who was good at business. It is said that when his father was young, his mother took part in managing the finances, so she had money to launch wars and sweep away powerful enemies.

Without soldiers and money, this would be the fate of Emperor Masachimachi.

Seriously speaking, there is no difference between the Emperor Masachimachi and a dog raised by the daimyo.

If the daimyo were happy, they would be rewarded with a few bones.

If the daimyo were unhappy, they would go to Luo at every turn.

Historically, the daimyo did not take the emperor seriously. It was not until Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to Luo that they slightly improved the emperor's authority. It would take the Meiji Restoration to truly have influence.

In "Lord", the emperor really has no status or even any sense of existence. At most, he only holds the emperor hostage to control the princes.

Chu Wu surrounded the palace, and the old Emperor Masachika came out with the royal family trembling.

They couldn't help sweating when they saw the timid Xue Jun who was wearing sharp clothes and cold armor.

Chu Wu said sternly: "In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land. On the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers. There can only be one palace in the world, but not a second palace. Come, loot this palace and set it on fire." Burn it!”

Emperor Masachimachi couldn't help but tremble when he heard Chuwu's order: "What crime is this palace guilty of?"

"It is a sin to be weak."

Chuwu sent out troops to loot the palace, which made Emperor Masachimachi even worse.

"In addition, Lord Tianwu, you need to issue an abdication edict and announce your abdication to the people of the four islands of Japan."

"The emperor has been around for thousands of years, how can he be ashamed..."

With the sound of a stirrup, Chuwu threw a sharp sword and thrust it in front of Emperor Masachimachi. The Empress was so frightened that she took two or three steps back and turned pale.

Emperor Masachimachi was discriminated against by the daimyo and was impoverished. Faced with the tough Chuwu, he was submissive and did not dare to object.

Xue's army looted the palace and found that the palace's property was not as much as the property looted from some large households in Kyoto.

Eventually, Chu Wu ordered people to set fire to the palace in Kyoto.

If we keep this palace and spend money on repairs in the future, it is better to avoid future troubles and shake the morale of the Japanese civilized area.

Emperor Masachimachi, the royal family, and the captured ministers looked at the blazing fire with fear and a bit of sadness and indignation.

The imperial palace that symbolized Japan's imperial power was burned down, and the emperor abdicated. It would be very difficult to restore the country in the name of the emperor in the future.

A minister stood up and said, "What do you want to do to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Take him back to the Central Plains and wait for his fate."

Before Chu Wu launched the Japanese conquest, Chu Tian had already ordered his eldest son to capture the emperor, escort him back to the Central Plains, and then secretly eradicate him, completely giving up hope on the four Japanese islands.

Although the emperor has no power, he still has legitimacy.

Once the emperor's legitimacy in the four islands of Japan is taken advantage of by those who want to, it will be easy to restore the country in the future.

"I can't go to the Central Plains..."

Emperor Masachimachi also realized that when he arrived in the Central Plains, he would probably not be able to escape, and wanted to struggle.

He was a poor and down-and-out emperor with no value at all, and Chuwu ordered him to be escorted to the Central Plains. The best outcome was just house arrest.

However, the Emperor Masachimachi had no choice, and the Koxue army forcibly seized the Emperor and all the ministers as spoils of war.

Even if Kyoto was recaptured, Emperor Masachimachi had become a hostage in Chuwu's hands.

Unlike various daimyo who were still a little wary of the emperor and wooed ministers to improve their own background, Chuwu did not act in accordance with Japanese rules at all, and there was no need to act in accordance with Japanese rules.

As outsiders, the Xia army destroyed everything and captured the emperor and ministers alive without giving them any face.

Emperor Masachikamachi was forced to announce his abdication under the coercion of the Kosei Army, and the players on the four Japanese islands were in an uproar.

Even though Emperor Masachimachi usually has no sense of existence, he is still the emperor after all. At this time, he announced his abdication, which meant that the four Japanese islands lost their emperor, leaving only Oda Nobunaga as the shogun.

With the fire raging into the sky, Chu Wu continued to loot the properties of Kyoto officials, merchants, and warriors to make up for the losses in the conquest of the four Japanese islands.

"It is said that the emperor had some treasures that were robbed by various daimyo."

When Lu Lingqi checked the poor property of Emperor Masachikamachi, she learned that the emperor had some special props, but they were taken away by various daimyo. Compared with the daimyo, the current emperor is really poor and has no oil and water.

"It seems that we can only blackmail these daimyo. The daimyo's family has ruled various kingdoms for a long time and has accumulated a lot of savings. There are also businessmen in Kyoto who have made a lot of war fortune and even loaned money to the daimyo. These are also good targets for looting. .”

Chu Wu captured a group of Kyoto businessmen alive, set up crimes, forced them to buy indulgences, and would not let them go until they lost all their money.

These merchants may have property in various daimyo territories, so they need to be extorted.

For a time, the wealth of the entire city flowed into the hands of Chu Wu. Chu Wu looted tens of millions of gold and silver and property.

On the main battlefield of An Yun Kingdom, Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu were shocked to hear that Kyoto had been captured and Emperor Masachimachi was captured alive, and they remained silent for a long time.

The fact that Emperor Masachikamachi was captured alive was not an important matter, but what was more important was the loss of the royal city of Kyoto.

Many of the supplies that Oda Nobunaga hoarded in Kyoto also became Chuwu's trophies.

"Calling all the daimyo, samurai, and ronin in the rear to gather to Kyoto and make sure to recapture Kyoto. The emperor's life or death is not important."

Oda Nobunaga called on all the warriors of the Eastern Kingdom and Gyeonggi Province to serve as kings.

After Chuwu occupied Kyoto, he opened the teleportation array in Kyoto, allowing reinforcements from the Central Plains to enter Kyoto, which threatened the strongholds of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
