Chapter 1064 The Calamity of Edo
Along with the system prompt, a ball of dazzling white light suddenly burst out in the western suburbs of Edo City, and spread rapidly, almost covering the entire western suburbs, making people look sideways.
The white light dissipated, revealing the 500,000 Dali imperial guards.
…………
The royal city of Dali, the imperial palace.
Duan Zhengchun, the Emperor of Dali Kingdom, received the message from the main god, but he couldn't react for a while, and then he cursed a long time ago, "Damn it, let people live?!"
Duan Zhengchun wanted to die when half of the imperial army was conscripted at once.
"Should I take the initiative to abdicate to Xian?"
Duan Zhengchun was pacing back and forth in the study, and for a moment he thought of converting to Buddhism.
Ever since he appeared in the wilderness and settled in Dali, Duan Zhengchun hadn't had a good night's sleep, and bad news came one after another. Not to mention the inexplicable addition of a foreign prince, the entire Dali Kingdom is barren except for the royal city.
Ten million people in the city were starving for food, and Duan Zhengchun's hair was grey. Even if he had ordered the people to go out of the city to reclaim farmland, the distant water could not quench their thirst.
In desperation, they can only buy food to survive, otherwise the people will have to rebel.
Dali is not short of money. The problem is, even if they have money, they can't buy food. Dali County was blocked on all sides by Daxia, cutting off all foreign trade channels.
Even if they want to smuggle food, no one has the guts.
Although Bai Hua, the governor of Yunnan in the Great Xia, may not look like a woman, she is a figure who has been a lord after all, with a combination of toughness and softness. When it's time to be tough, it's not soft at all.
Since Bai Hua took office, he has started to crack down on the smuggling of Dali by the people.
Once a chamber of commerce or caravan is found to be smuggling, according to the "Great Xia Law", not only will all the goods be confiscated, but a heavy fine will also be imposed. Basically, if this fine is imposed, the smuggling merchants will go bankrupt.
Not only that, but the merchant will be on the official blacklist from now on.
This also means that the Chamber of Commerce not only has no relationship with government and military purchases, it can't even go to sea, and it is forbidden to engage in ocean-going trade.
Under Bai Hua's heavy hand, no matter how big the smuggling profit is, no one dares to cross the line.
Meeting such an unreasonable neighbor, Duan Zhengchun could only knock his teeth and swallow his blood, and he would cry if he said too much. Right now, Dali City can only rely on strangers to transport food from other royal cities through storage bags. Of course, this is just a drop in the bucket, and it can barely maintain food and clothing.
Besides, Yiren is not a living Bodhisattva, and he has recognized Dali's weakness, and the food he sells is more expensive than gold. Even as rich as Dali, it can't afford such consumption.
Since Duan Zhengchun settled in Dali, a large number of people fled into Daxia every day.
Duan Zhengchun, who believed in Buddhism, really couldn't bear the starvation of the people in the territory, so he didn't adopt the suggestion of the foreign prince Duan Hong to use the imperial army to seal the border, but let the people go away.
Such attitudes undoubtedly exacerbated the rate of loss of people.
Duan Zhengchun noticed that Duan Hong looked at him strangely. In the eyes of this son, what Duan Zhengchun saw was naked desire and ambition for power.
It's a pity that Duan Zhengchun didn't see from Duan Hong the talent that matched his ambition.
"Great aspirations and few talents." Duan Zhengchun concluded.
Right now, half of the imperial guards are inexplicably conscripted, which is tantamount to cutting off the biggest foundation of Dali Kingdom's foothold in the wilderness.
The heavy blows made Duan Zhengchun extremely frustrated.
"That's all, that's all!"
After wandering for a long time, Duan Zhengchun finally made up his mind, "Come here!"
"exist!"
"Let the Minister of Honglu Temple come to see me."
"promise!"
Duan Zhengchun finally made up his mind and prepared to bow his head to Daxia. As long as the continuation of Duan's blood can be preserved, Duan Zhengchun doesn't mind surrendering Dali City.
"Since the throne is unstable in the end, it is better to step down voluntarily and save yourself from being kicked out." It has to be said that Duan Zhengchun at this time embodies the decisiveness of a ZTE emperor.
There have been countless romantic figures throughout the history, how many of them can voluntarily give up the throne? !
The royal family of Dali can be regarded as an anomaly, and there are countless people who converted to Buddhism in their later years, so it is no wonder that Duan Zhengchun also made this determination.
What Duan Zhengchun didn't know was that the news that he summoned the minister of Honglu Temple and was going to send a mission to Daxia to express his intention to surrender was learned by Duan Hong, the prince of the alien.
A storm is quietly hitting Dali Kingdom.
…………
Edo battlefield.
The 500,000 imperial troops "falling from the sky" completely blinded Oda Nobunaga's eyes.
"What kind of operation is this???"
Huaxia didn't play cards according to common sense, which made Oda Nobunaga very helpless. Before he finished expressing his emotions, the half a million forbidden troops had already rushed towards the west gate under the command of Han Xin himself.
The First Legion of the City Guards, which was originally in charge of the town, withdrew from the battlefield very tacitly.
"If you have soldiers, you don't need them, they will become invalid after the expiration date!"
Since he spent a lot of money, Ouyang Shuo naturally let the imperial army take the lead. There is a saying how to say the comer, "A dead fellow Taoist will not die a poor Taoist".
If Ouyang Shuo knew that this forbidden army would eventually join Da Xia, he would probably cry.
The ensuing siege battle basically has no suspense. The 500,000 imperial guards, who were recharging their energy, cooperated with Han Xin's swift and smooth command, and caught Edo by surprise again.
If we don't break the city, it's too much for God.
Han Xin is undoubtedly a genius general. No matter how many troops he commands, even if he adds 500,000 imperial troops, he can take care of the west, north, south, and east, and not give Edo any chance.
Ouyang Shuo watched from the side, and there was only the word "Fu" in capital letters on his face, "General Han Xin, the more the better", it really wasn't bragging.
It is indeed a great blessing to be helped by such a god general.
…………
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, with a loud "bang", under the onslaught of 500,000 forbidden troops regardless of sacrifice, the already weakly defended west city gate was finally breached.
The vast army poured into Edo like a tide.
Oda Nobunaga wanted to command the remnants, and led Emperor Meiji and Honda Keisuke to break through, but Edo Castle was besieged on all sides, and there was no so-called way out.
Breaking through again and again is just a futile struggle.
As the North City Gate and the East City Gate fell one after another, Emperor Meiji quietly retreated to the palace and committed seppuku. Honda Keisuke neither wanted to face a group of subordinates, nor had the face to face a group of compatriots in the Hall of Reincarnation, silently found an unknown corner, waited for the end of the national war, and was sent to the place of trial.
Oda Nobunaga still wanted to struggle to the death, but in the end he was outnumbered and was captured alive by Han Xin.
In the evening, as the army rushed into the palace and smashed the Edo stele, the Battle of Japan came to an end, and system announcements sounded one after another.
"World Announcement: Congratulations to the Huaxia District for capturing Dongpu and winning the national war. The military exploits are unparalleled. Every Chinese player who participated in the war will be rewarded with 300 contribution points for the national war. Congratulations to the Huaxia District players!"
...
Gaia is really proud. There are about 1.65 million Chinese players participating in the battle this time. If the national war contribution value rewarded by everyone is combined, they will receive 500 million points.
an astronomical figure.
Sure enough, the saying goes, "There is strength in numbers."
And that's not all.
Immediately afterwards, Gaia issued another regional announcement.
"Regional Announcement: Congratulations to the Huaxia District for capturing the royal city of Edo and winning the national war. Every player who participated in the Edo War will be rewarded with 500 national war contribution points as an encouragement. Congratulations!"
...
Gaia was still very fair, and didn't let the players of the South Route Army follow suit.
"If you pay, you will get rewarded!"
As soon as the announcement came out, there were bursts of cheers inside and outside Edo Castle. Compared with the 500 national war contribution points that Gaia rewarded extra, players enjoy this extraordinary glory even more.
After going back, it is enough for them to show off for a lifetime.
The adventurous players who are still following the South Route Army at this time, are afraid that the intestines of regret are green.
"World Announcement: Japan is destroyed, all game achievements such as levels, skills, and exercises of all players in Japan will be cleared, and they will be collectively sent to the [sealed land] as a punishment!"
...
As soon as the announcement came out, millions of Japanese players were mercilessly teleported away before they could howl.
In an unnamed corner, Keisuke Honda said secretly: "I will come back." As he spoke, it turned into a burst of white light, and completely disappeared into the secret room with loss and melancholy.
"World Announcement: Huaxia District won the national war and won 10 points of national honor. At the same time, all players in Huaxia District will be rewarded with +1 innate attributes to encourage them. Congratulations to Huaxia District!"
...
Domestic players got the news and cheered.
This is a national feast.
As early as three days ago, when Bai Qi led his troops to capture Nanzhang, they had already enjoyed it once.
In this way, the national honor points of the Huaxia District have reached 60 points. If the foreseeable Battle of Korea and Chenla are included, after the national war, it will reach a terrifying 80 points.
It was only 20 points away from the 100 national honor points required for the birth of the second national weapon.
And the "innate attribute +8" bonus brought by 80 national honor points is basically equivalent to doubling the innate aptitude of the players in Huaxia District, which is against the sky.
From then on, players from Huaxia District will travel across the world.
…………
Tonight's Edo Castle is destined to have no sleep.
The victor made no secret of his inner joy and excitement, and was busy celebrating; although the loser had already left, countless people were left behind, trembling in the dark night, not knowing what fate they would face.
Before attacking Edo, Ouyang Shuo had already made three chapters with Phoenix Prisoner, Bloody Romance and others. After taking Edo, the army and players are prohibited from looting in the city, and all loot must be collected and distributed uniformly.
Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law.
The army is very restrained, and the elite groups of the super guild also have their own integrity and pride. It's the casual players who are hard to control. After winning a battle with great difficulty, how can they resist not reaping the spoils.
Because of this, the entire Edo city was disturbed and restless.
Although Ouyang Shuo had arranged for the army and the elite group to go to the streets to maintain order, he couldn't do too much. He just arranged for the army to guard the treasury, the palace and other important places.
Other places can only be looted by players.
Hundreds of thousands of adventurers are like locusts, haunting the city all night without sleep, searching for all the valuables they can find, without any scruple.
The whole Edo city shivered in the dark night and spent the most difficult night.
