When they arrived at the city wall, their clothes had been wet by the rain, and everyone was like a chicken. However, at this moment, no one wiped the rain on their bodies. They only saw countless Japanese warriors ahead of them escaped from the city wall, and Song troops had already appeared on the city wall!

"Not good!" Fujiwara Izumi was shocked. He never expected that in just a moment, the city wall that was extremely strong in his heart had been put up by Song Jun Pan Deng!

"Bastard, why do you retreat?" Oda Mitsuki grabbed a samurai's collar and said angrily.

"Sir, the Song army's bows and arrows are so powerful that we can only die if we stay on it." Bushi said.

"If you retreat, the Song army will rush forward. At that time, they will occupy the entire Kyoto, and we will have no choice but to die!" Oda Mitsuki said.

"Oda-kun, what should I do now? There are more and more Song troops on the city wall!" Fujiwara Izumi said with a pale face.

"Open the city gate and rush out!" Oda Mitsukai said.

"Run out?" Fujiwara Izumi said in disbelief.

"Not bad! Bounce out! The number of Song troops is too large, and it is impossible for us to retake the city wall! Now, after we open the city gate, we will kill the Song army's chief general, and the Song army will retreat! Now this is the only way to resist!" Oda Mitsuki said.

"This..." Fujiwara Izumi was stunned.

"The Song army on the city wall has rushed down. They have entered Kyoto. It is impossible to stop them now. We rushed out unexpectedly and killed their chief general! Everyone gathered together, followed me, and rushed out!" Oda Mitsuki shouted at the samurai behind him.

Finally, the city gate opened and Oda Mitsuki rushed out with thousands of people!

At this moment, more and more people from the Song army had climbed the city wall, but there were still more than 30,000 Song soldiers outside!

Seeing the Japanese warriors rushing towards him, the more than 30,000 Song troops immediately launched an attack.

The rain of arrows fell from the sky again!

The Japanese team was extremely chaotic. Japanese warriors paid attention to personal force and had no experience in deploying troops on a large scale.

The Song crossbow was extremely powerful, and its range was far greater than that of ordinary bows and arrows. For a moment, only screams in front of him were heard. I don’t know how many Japanese warriors fell in a pool of blood.

"The Song army's crossbow is so powerful!" When he saw an arrow piercing the chests of two samurai one after another, Oda Mitsukei was shocked.

But he could no longer retreat at this moment, so he continued to rush forward with the warriors!

The formation of the 30,000 Song troops was changing rapidly, and the Song troops on both wings had already been pressed up. The Song troops completely surrounded thousands of Japanese warriors from the front, and the whistling sound of bows and crossbows resounded throughout the sky.

When Oda Mitsuki rushed to the Song army, there were less than 500 samurai left beside him!

The five hundred warriors roared and rushed forward, and the Song army rushed towards them without fear!

Japanese warriors fought each other, and the samurai swords in their hands were extremely sharp, while the Song army cooperated with each other. They used pure military killing skills. Countless spears stabbed forward in an instant. The spears in front stopped, and countless spears stabbed forward in a row behind them!

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the Japanese warriors fell into a pool of blood, including Oda Mitsuki, who fell there like any ordinary Japanese warrior, and his whole body was stiff!

At this moment, the city gate in the west was completely opened, and the Song army rushed into the city of Kyoto with a roar!

In the east, Wang Gui had already led a large army into the city at this moment! In the south, Wu Lin's army had also entered the city!

Japan in this era is simply vulnerable to the strong army in the Central Plains! The Song army launched an attack in the morning and in less than an hour it broke through the Kyoto City, which is known as Japan's largest, most prosperous and most sturdy!

The heavy rain was still falling, and the city of Japan became even more chaotic. The screams of Japanese women and children could be heard in the city. Most Japanese civilians were hurried to find a safe place to hide!

More than 100,000 troops of the Song army continued to advance in battalions!

The size of Kyoto also surprised them. It is not inferior to Yanjing City, but most of Kyoto is a poor cellar, which is a completely different place from Yanjing.

Wu Jie and Wang Gui led 10,000 elite troops toward the Japanese Palace. When they surrounded the Japanese Palace, hundreds of Japanese people walked out of the palace and knelt down in the rain!

The leading young man was Emperor Tooba of Japan. Next to him was a young woman, the biological daughter of the Japanese Empress Takako Fujiwara and Fujiwara Izumi! On the other side was an old man in a dragon robe. This man was the "Dharma Emperor" of Japan, known in history as the Shirakawa Emperor! The situation in Japan was somewhat similar to that in Dali. The emperor had no real power. From the ninth century to the twelfth century, most emperors abdicated early and were called the Dharma Emperor.

Behind them were the other Japanese nobles and ministers.

"All get up!" Looking at the people in front of you, Wu Jie nodded and said lightly.

He spoke Chinese, but the Japanese Emperor, the Emperor of the Pharaoh, the nobles, and the ministers in front of him could understand his words! Just like Goryeo, Japanese nobles generally learned Chinese since childhood, and Chinese was the official language of ancient Japan! In history, it was not until the early Ming Dynasty that the Japanese shogunate used Japanese as the official language.

These Japanese monarchs and ministers stood up, but everyone had nervous expressions on their faces. They didn't know how the Song army would treat them.

"People come, please look at them and I will send them to Yanjing tomorrow! General Wang, I got news from Wu Gong before coming!" Wu Jie said.

"Oh, how is he doing now?" Wang Gui said in surprise.

"He is fine. This kid hasn't come back until now. It's so damn! He is still exploring on the sea! Alas!" Wu Jie said.

"Exploring the territory of the North Sea is also the responsibility of our Navy, and it is also considered to be the execution of military orders." Wang Gui said with a smile.

"Forget it, let alone this boy, General Wang, there are fifteen most powerful lords in Japan besides the Emperor, five of which are north of Kyoto. You lead 50,000 troops to clear these five lords north, and I will lead troops to clear the ten lords in the south!" Wu Jie said.

"Okay!" Wang Gui nodded.

"If someone dares to resist our army, he will be killed without mercy! We have just entered Japan. This is a chaotic country. We are about to use the sword in our hands to make them surrender! Before sending the troops, the military headquarters had collected information in Japan for many years, and the Japanese people were the most obedient to power! For this country, the only way for this nation is to be tough and completely subjugate them. After they will be devoted to us! After conquering Japan, military control may be implemented for a long time, and the State Council will truly turn this place into a province of our Song Dynasty!" Wu Jie said.

"I understand." Wang Gui nodded.

Wu Jie entered the Japanese Palace. Although the palace was not large in size, it was built very strangely and full of Japanese flavor.

Looking at the scene here, he was thinking about the way the Government Council governed Japan! In fact, in this era, the national strength of the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of Japan, and the civilization of the Song Dynasty was better than that of Japan for nearly a thousand years. Many people in the upper class of Japan were close to the Song Dynasty, and many Japanese aristocrats even wanted to join the Song Dynasty and become a member of the Song Dynasty. Some Japanese aristocrats wanted to let the Song Dynasty directly manage Japan, and these Japanese aristocrats could all use it.

"The Japanese are far away from overseas. If you want to govern Japan, you must pay attention to shipping! This shipping event will become more and more important in the future!" Wu Jie said intimately.

Early the next morning, the Emperor of Japan, the Emperor of Pharaoh and the rest of the royal family went to Ruoxiao under the escort of more than 2,000 Song troops, and they would be sent to Yanjing City soon!

Although the Emperor of Japan does not have much power, he is an important symbol of the existence of Japan! In the chaotic Japan, the reason why many people regard this place as a complete country is precisely because there is an Emperor who has existed from ancient times to the present! Now this country has lost the Emperor, and countless nobles and warriors will no longer have spiritual pillars, which is also of great benefit to the Song Dynasty ruling Japan.

*******

During the 11th year of Xuanwu, the Song Dynasty carried out two battles to destroy the country in Annan and Japan in the north and south directions.

The Song army was strong and the battle to destroy the country seemed very relaxed, but then it cost huge costs to stabilize the two countries, and the government department used more resources than imagined.

In winter, the Mongols invaded the south again, and the Song army was still mainly defending! Li Xianzhong and Liu Qi, who were stationed in Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Liu Qi's troops repeatedly requested the battle, and Han Shizhong's troops in Xixia also continued to request the battle. Even Yue Yun, Liang Hao and others, under Yue Fei's troops in Liaodong, secretly wrote to ask for the battle. However, in order to stabilize Annan, the court had consumed too much power and was unable to go north in a short period of time.

After receiving the reply from the Government Affairs Council, hundreds of thousands of troops in the north had to continue training. Many generals vented a resentment in their hearts on the soldiers and trained the soldiers fiercely.

The New Year's Eve of Xuanwu 11th is here, and there are clamoring celebrations coming from outside again. Zhao Chen is with many ministers of the State Council to summarize the gains and losses of the year.

"Your Majesty, last year, the arable land area in the world increased from 800 million mu to 1 billion mu! The output of grain per mu also increased from the previous two stones to nearly two five stones now." Hu Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, stood up and said.

In modern society in later generations, China's arable land area reached 1.8 billion mu, but that was the arable land area with a population of 1.4 billion. Now the national population is only about 80 million, and the arable land area reaches more than half of that of later generations. Such a cultivated land area is already enough! But now the yield of grain per mu is much lower than that of later generations!

Two stones are about 200 kilograms, which is the average level of grain in the Song Dynasty! However, in just a few years, due to the overhaul of water conservancy and the large-scale production of farming equipment, the land yield per mu has increased significantly, and now it has reached 250 kilograms. Of course, compared with later generations, the land yield per mu still has a lot of room for growth.

"This year, the grain inventory in various places is close to 100 million stones, which is enough for the whole world to use for one year!" Hu Quan said again.

"So many!" The guards next to them all showed incredible expressions on their faces.

"Next year, the Ministry of Agriculture is preparing to promote Li Yi's cultivation technology that is ripe a year in the entire Jiangnan area. If such cultivation technology is widely promoted, the world's grain output will inevitably double again. By that time, there will be no more famine in the world! In addition, there are other new agricultural technologies that we are planning to promote one after another. After all these are promoted, the land yield will increase significantly regardless of north or south!" Hu Quan's face showed a hint of excitement, saying.

"Very good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

He couldn't help but smile! After the meal problem was solved, a large number of farmers could come out of the land and devote themselves to handicrafts or commerce. At that time, Chinese civilization would make great strides forward again!

"Your Majesty, over the past year, the number of workshops in the world has increased by more than 100,000 in the past year. In Yanjing, Tianjin Wei, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Sichuan and Sichuan, Quanzhou, the trade is extremely prosperous, and a large number of tea, porcelain, dyes, silk, etc. are transported to various places, especially Tianjin Wei and Quanzhou, and a variety of commodities are shipped overseas! Last year, our commercial tax was only 30 million guan, and this year it reached 50 million guan!" Qin Hui, Minister of Commerce, stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, commercial tax has increased almost year by year now. The State Council intends to abolish the salt tax. What do you think?" Wang Shu said.

"Yes! The State Council sets a charter, and I will issue an order to implement it after reading it." Zhao Chen said.

In ancient China, salt tax was the most important income of all dynasties! In the Song Dynasty, the income from salt tax accounted for one fifth of the national treasury, and at most it even reached one quarter! A pound of salt, the salt tax exceeded the cost of salt making dozens of times, which was a naked plunder of property from the people! Because the salt tax was extremely high, there were also many people selling private salt. Many famous Chinese figures, such as the Martial Saint Guan Yu, sold private salt. In the Song Dynasty, selling private salt for more than twenty kilograms of private salt was the crime of beheading! In ancient Chinese, there were many poor families who could not eat salt!

Now that the salt tax is exempted, the court certainly needs to collect a lot of income, but the price of people eating salt is reduced by dozens of times in an instant, and the people will get real benefits.

If this matter is spread, it will be shocking again, because it is really a benefit for the people.

"Your Majesty, at least one public school has been established in 1,500 prefectures and counties across the country. This year, we have ensured that two public schools exist in 136 larger prefectures and counties! This year, the court issued 153,671 textbooks, all of which have been distributed to public and private schools in various places! The court's agricultural tax and commercial tax have been increasing, and we also have enough money to do this! Next year, the school department plans to double the number of public schools. After calculations, several ministers from the Ministry of Finance believe that the country can afford such a fee." Yu Yunwen, the minister of the school department, said.

There are more voices of people celebrating outside, and in the State Council, many ministers are still reporting on their political achievements this year.

Listening to these numbers, Zhao Chen truly felt that an unprecedented power appeared in this era! This country is clear in politics, prosperous in economy, stable in people's livelihood, strong national cohesion, developed education and technology, strong military, prosperous trade, and the population accounts for one-fifth of the world. More importantly, this country has various advanced systems that appeared in later generations. Now this country is developing rapidly at a speed that Zhao Chen himself could not have expected!
