Chapter 246 The Japanese surname is Li (please subscribe for monthly tickets)

The Kyoto of Japan was also called Heian Kyo.

In 794 AD, Emperor Kanmu moved the capital here and named it after "Heian", which means peace, stability and prosperity.

The city's planning and design were influenced by the ancient Chinese city of Chang'an, and is thought to be modeled after the capital of China's Tang Dynasty.

The buildings are arranged in a rectangular shape, with Zhuque Road as the axis running through the north and south. The city is divided into two capitals, namely Chang'an and Luoyang, with the imperial palace in the middle and residential and commercial areas surrounding it.

In addition, Heian Kyo also drew on the concept of Feng Shui and chose a dangerous place as the capital to avoid natural disasters. Therefore, Kyoto not only imitated the capital of the Tang Dynasty in terms of geographical location, but also tried its best to achieve similar effects to ancient Chinese capitals in terms of urban planning.

However, due to the two major projects of establishing the capital and conquering barbarians during the Huanwu Dynasty, they were abandoned halfway. Some places in the capital were only renovated and divided to complete the construction of Luocheng and other places.

Youjing (Chang'an) is also a low-lying area dotted with swamps and swamps, presenting a scene where "the number of homes is gradually sparse, almost secluded ruins, people never return, and the houses are broken and not repaired."

Therefore, most people are concentrated in the high and dry areas north of Shitiao in Zuojing (Luoyang).

During the Yuan administration period, many temples and palaces were built around the Kamogawa River flowing east of Sakyo Chichi Road and the Higashi Shiro River as the center, making Sakyo more prosperous. Therefore, Japanese people always like to call Kyoto "Luoyang", "Luocheng", "Lodu".

During the Warring States Period of the Japanese Kingdom, those daimyo who led troops to invade Kyoto were called "Shangluo".

Li Xianzhong also successfully completed a "Shangluo".

Due to the war, the city of Kyoto at this time seemed a bit messy, and the streets were devastated.

However, the Kyoto Imperial Palace where the Japanese Emperor resided was still intact.

This has also become the last place in Kyoto that did not surrender to China.

Both the royalist forces loyal to the emperor and the samurai still loyal to the Tokugawa shogunate gathered at Jianchun Gate in the east.

Although many people were already in disarray, they still held Japanese swords and iron cannons in their hands, trying to make a final struggle.

In front of this group of defeated soldiers were a group of monks holding sticks.

The monks of Japan were different from those of China in that they enjoyed a higher political status.

During the Warring States Period, many temples had monk soldiers, and the monks cooperated with the daimyo of the vassal state. The temple could even be regarded as a political force.

After all, the Japanese government was far inferior to the central government of China and could not depoliticize Buddhism, so it could only allow these monks to grow.

It was precisely because of the special status of Japanese monks that Li Xianzhong ordered the Chinese army not to kill Japanese monks easily to avoid causing more resistance from the Japanese.

At this time, this group of monks and soldiers actually did not know how high the limit was to prevent the Chinese army from entering the Kyoto Imperial Palace. This was Mao Lingli lighting a lamp - seeking death (shit)!

The Chinese army gave them one stick of incense. If these people did not surrender to the Chinese army after one stick of incense, then Li Xianzhong would directly have people bombard the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

However, in the face of the Chinese ultimatum, these Japanese did not back down.

Behind this group of Japanese warriors and monks appeared some more monks who were beating wooden fish and meditating and chanting sutras. It seemed that they were ready to fight to the death!

The Chinese soldiers were also unceremonious. After they fired the cannons into the sky, they were about to light the fuses of the artillery.

At this time, these Japanese warriors were sweating profusely, and they could only rely on the scriptures recited by the monks to support their will.

At this critical moment, a man wearing a tassel crown and a yellow-dyed royal robe appeared at Jianchun Gate.

When the warriors and monks saw this man, they quickly saluted.

Then those warriors used their bodies to block the man's face.

This person looked like a teenage boy, but his identity was certainly unusual, and the Chinese soldiers did not open fire rashly.

Although the emperor of the Edo period had completely become a puppet in the hands of the shogun, the civilian emperor in Japan was still supreme.

This young man is the 109th emperor of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty of Japan, Emperor Meisheng.

Emperor Meisho was born in 1624 AD. His real name was Koiko. Before he became emperor, he was called Princess Koiko, or Prince Kouchinai (the emperor's daughter was granted the title of prince, and his son was granted the title of prince).

His father is Emperor Gomizuo, the 108th generation of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty, and his mother is Tokugawa Kazuko, the daughter of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second generation shogunate of the Tokugawa shogunate.

In other words, Emperor Meisho was the niece of Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, and she was also a female emperor.

In the early days of Japan, the maternal line had a relatively high status, so there were 6 female emperors in the early days, but this was more than 800 years ago.

Emperor Mingzheng was another female emperor who appeared in the Japanese country in more than 800 years.

After Emperor Meisho succeeded to the throne, he was raised by his mother, the Empress Dowager Tokugawa Kazuko. Although she did not have any real power, she and her mother had a blood relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate, so she received preferential treatment from the Tokugawa shogunate. It means having no worries about food and clothing.

At this time, Emperor Mingzheng waved his hand and signaled the Japanese warriors in front of him to get out of the way.

He slowly walked towards the Chinese army in the distance and said in her not-so-fluent Chinese: "I want to meet your Chinese emperor!"

Emperor Mingzheng was brought to Li Xianzhong, accompanied by the eminent monk Huiguang Zen Master of Kyoto's Manpukuji Temple and two maids.

Emperor Mingzheng bowed to Li Xianzhong and said: "Xingzi can make the samurai of the Kyoto Imperial Palace surrender. Please don't destroy this place, otherwise we will have no place to live."

Li Xianzhong took a look at the little loli in front of him. Her makeup was very thick, and her face was covered with heavy powder. Coupled with the unique eyebrows of Japanese people, it is really difficult to distinguish between men and women.

If Li Xianzhong hadn't known that she was a female emperor, he would have regarded her as a tomboy.

Li Xianzhong said: "I will treat the Japanese royal family well. This Kyoto Imperial Palace is quite crude. I have ordered the recruitment of craftsmen from China to renovate it for Emperor Meisheng."

After hearing what Li Xianzhong said, Xingzi and Huiguang behind her were also relieved.

It seems that the Chinese emperor will treat the Japanese royal family favorably.

A powerless puppet, why would Li Xianzhong embarrass them?

As for the bald donkey behind Xingzi, Li Xianzhong naturally knew the purpose of his trip.

Li Xianzhong said: "We in China have always stood for freedom of religious belief and will not interfere with people's beliefs. Master, please rest assured that I will definitely visit Guibao Temple in person to offer incense one day."

Of course Li Xianzhong knew that the temples in Japan were by no means as simple as those in China, but at this time he needed the support of the monks, and naturally he had to stabilize these people first.

After the Japanese state was stabilized, these monk soldiers and the large amount of property controlled by the temple were naturally his targets.

After receiving Li Xianzhong's statement, Huiguang was very happy. As long as their status as monks did not change, they would naturally not jump out to take the lead.

Huiguang immediately stated that he would immediately evacuate the monk soldiers from the Kyoto Imperial Palace and welcomed Li Xianzhong to come to Wanfu Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

But then Li Xianzhong changed the topic and said: "His Royal Highness Xingzi's mother-in-law, Tokugawa Kazuko, is really not suitable to stay in Kyoto as the daughter of the general family. I will send her back to Edo."

As soon as Li Xianzhong said this, both Xingzi and Huiguang's expressions changed drastically.

Although Kouko is the emperor, it is his mother, Concubine Tokugawa Kazuko, who is truly in charge of the affairs of Kyoto.

Tokugawa Kazuko sent Xingzi to come forward because he felt that Li Xianzhong, a Chinese, must not understand the political situation of the Japanese country, so that she could continue to control everything behind the scenes.

But unexpectedly, Li Xianzhong actually expelled him directly from Kyoto. At this time, Xingzi became a little shy. Although his face was covered with thick powder, his embarrassed expression could still be seen.

She said softly: "Mother wants Xingzi to stay and sleep with you. I hope your majesty will agree!"

Li Xianzhong did not expect that the female emperor of the Japanese country would be so open-minded, and even said such words as sleeping in bed.

Although he was married to the female emperor, according to Li Xianzhong's plan, after all, his harem already had a bunch of concubines resulting from the marriage, and he didn't care about one more.

However, Xingzi is really a little younger, only eleven years old. Even when Hailanzhu and Bumubutai were pestering him, Li Xianzhong still waited until they were thirteen or fourteen before consummating their marriage. of.

Li Xianzhong finally declined Xingzi's request to sleep with him because he was too young.

But then Xingzi insisted that two maids stay to take her place.

Li Xianzhong reluctantly agreed.

However, he was not interested in these two maids, so he rewarded them to his guards.

Li Xianzhong is 36 years old this year, and he is not as enthusiastic about romantic affairs as before.

How could two Japanese women of unknown origin be allowed to sleep with them?

However, he still made a mistake, which was to give them to his bodyguards, so that the two of them could stay around Li Xianzhong's mansion.

Naturally, Li Xianzhong did not live in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, but found a large mansion in Kyoto city as his temporary palace.

After the two maids stunned the guards who were about to have sex with them, they put on night clothes and quietly sneaked into Li Xianzhong's palace.

They were already very familiar with Li Xianzhong's temporary palace, and they took the opportunity to visit Li Xianzhong during the day to observe the security situation of the palace.

And he learned from the two guards about their shift changes.

They quickly reached outside Li Xianzhong's bedroom.

However, this last courtyard was guarded by regular guards, so it was impossible for them to sneak in.

Fortunately, both of them were specially trained ninjas.

A female ninja named Sasaki used ventriloquism to imitate the cry of a night owl and successfully attracted several guards.

Then I saw several flashes of cold light, and the guards were killed instantly.

At this time, another female ninja named Ito took the opportunity to get rid of the two guards guarding the door, and soon opened the door of Li Xianzhong's room.

I saw that the candle that was still lit just now was extinguished!

However, Ito still relied on his excellent hearing to detect Li Xianzhong's weak breathing.

He quickly swung his knife in that direction and stabbed it!

Li Xianzhong himself is also a veteran in the battlefield for many years, and his hearing is naturally different from ordinary people.

There was only a "bang" sound, and Ito was shot and fell to the ground, letting out a scream!

Sasaki, who was outside the house at this time, was also surrounded by Li Xianzhong's guards and captured alive.

Li Xianzhong had long heard that the Japanese ninjas were good at pretending to assassinate people, but he didn't expect them to actually touch his palace.

If the two guards hadn't noticed that the two maids were asking about the guard shift situation, which aroused their alarm, they might have fallen into their hands.

In the end, the two female ninjas could not bear the torture and confessed that they were ordered by the emperor's concubine Tokugawa Kazuko.

Without saying a word, the Chinese army broke into the Kyoto Imperial Palace overnight and pulled Tokugawa Kazuko out of bed.

According to the laws of China, King Assassin Shajia wanted to annihilate the nine tribes.

Xingzi was just a manipulated puppet, and Li Xianzhong did not embarrass her.

Instead, she targeted her mother's family, the Tokugawa family.

Since Tokugawa Iemitsu wants to kill Li Xianzhong, he will naturally not be polite.

More than 100,000 Chinese troops in various parts of the Japanese country launched a surprise attack on the Tokugawa family.

With a huge explosion, the shogunate army camp near Kawanaka Island was bombarded, and then countless Chinese troops took advantage of the night to attack the shogunate army camp.

As the commander of the shogunate army, Masayuki Hoshina, died in the rebellion, the 4 shogunate army in Kawanakajima collapsed instantly.

The Chinese army in Kyoto went directly eastward and occupied Owari, Mikawa, Toga and other places.

On February 18, the two Chinese armies met at Sunpu Castle, the largest city on Tokaido.

Sunpu Castle is the gateway to the west of Edo Castle. At this time, the panicked Tokugawa Iemitsu had to shrink his troops to defend Edo Castle.

On the eighth day of March, Emperor Mingzheng of Japan married the Chinese Emperor Li Xianzhong and officially became Li Xianzhong's concubine.

The two parties got married at the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and all the daimyo of the Japanese vassals, except the Tokugawa family, sent envoys and congratulatory gifts to express their congratulations.

However, a fire broke out in the Kyoto Imperial Palace that night, and all the royal family members who came to attend the emperor's wedding banquet were destroyed in the flames.

In this way, only Li Xianzhong's son can inherit the throne of Japan in the future.

Although Li Xianzhong eventually wanted to directly annex the Japanese country, he did not mind continuing to retain the emperor as a mascot.

Of course, this "shit basin" was naturally reserved for Tokugawa Iemitsu.

In order to prevent the emperor's wedding, the Tokugawa family even set fire to death almost all the royal members of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty of Japan. Naturally, they must be punished.

On the tenth day of March, Emperor Meisho officially revoked the title of Tokugawa Iemitsu's title as Shogun.

He also appointed Shimazu Iehisa as the new generation of generals to conquer the barbarians, commanding the troops of various vassal states to attack Edo Castle.

The Battle of Edo lasted for more than three months. With the help of Chinese military artillery, the entire Edo City was reduced to ruins.

The former shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu was forced to set fire to himself in the Edo Castle Castle Tower on June 20, together with his male favorite Hota Masamori.

Thus ended the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

However, unexpectedly, the emperor relied on the support of the Chinese army to officially take over the Tokugawa family's territory as his own.

This also marked the end of the entire Japanese shogunate era!

Soon after, Emperor Meisheng abdicated, and Li Xianzhong concurrently served as Emperor of Japan as Emperor of China.

The direct rule of China over Japan began.
