Chapter 1029: A Trip to Mount Fuji
On the morning of November 23, 4622 A.D., Emperor Wu Haoxuan made the last stop of his trip to Japan, which was to travel from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji to see the so-called sacred mountain of Japan.
At over 3,600 meters above sea level, Mt. Fuji is Japan's highest peak, straddling Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, and is an active volcanic complex. The peaks of Mt. Fuji are towering into the sky, and the summits are covered with snow. The mountain is cone-shaped, like a fan hanging upside down in the air, and Japanese poets have praised it with poems such as "jade fan hanging upside down in the East China Sea and sky" and "Fuji white snow reflecting the morning sun". However, if you look at it from a distance, the whole mountain is more like a towering female breast room. The Japanese have always been more perverted, and it is understandable that they worship Mt. Fuji like a milk room.
Mt. Fuji is 80 kilometers from Tokyo and takes two hours by car. The vicinity of this area is also the area of activity of the Japanese resistance forces. However, three days earlier, the 16th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army had carried out a sweep against the Japanese resistance around Mt. Fuji, killing more than 100 people. The remnants of the Japanese resistance have fled the area.
The Imperial Army did this, naturally, to ensure Wu Haoxuan's safety. The 16th Infantry Division had been clearing the perimeter of Mt. Fuji to ensure that the pressure on the Japanese resistance would prevent them from penetrating further into these areas.
Marshal Shi Deshan, the imperial governor in Japan, accompanied Wu Haoxuan. He was accompanied by the Governor's Palace's Guards. In addition, Saionji Gongwang and others were also invited by Wu Haoxuan to visit Mount Fuji together. For them, it is undoubtedly a great honor. Even though the public prestige of Xiyuan Temple is over seventy, Yuan Jing is also seventy years old. However, they all rushed to go. In their words, His Majesty the Emperor invited them to visit Mt. Fuji together, and even if they did, they would climb it.
Of course, it's impossible to climb up. In addition to themselves, there are also their retinues, and if they really can't climb, their retinues will carry them up.
Wu Haoxuan also brought Masako from Xiyuan Temple, no matter what, this woman will give birth to a son for him. Although he could not give her a name, he should try to give her some comfort. Bringing her on such an occasion is undoubtedly Wu Haoxuan's affirmation of her. This made Masako Saionji very happy, and she got up early in the morning with a smile on her face.
Along the way, Masako Saionji introduced the attractions of Mt. Fuji to Wu Haoxuan, as well as related legends, like a happy bird.
Wu Haoxuan and the others set off in the morning and arrived at the foot of Mt. Fuji, and it was 11 o'clock in the morning. Mt. Fuji in autumn is not the best time to visit Mt. Fuji, even though it is not in full bloom. However, the scenery is also unique.
After the group got out of the car, they waited for Wu Haoxuan to give the order to climb the mountain.
"Your Majesty, the preparations are almost complete, we can go up the mountain." Marshal Shi Deshan said. His guard, a company formation, had already sent a platoon to explore the way first. The others were scattered all around. The guards brought by Wu Haoxuan from China followed them even more and protected them closely.
"Well, okay, let's go up the mountain." Wu Haoxuan nodded and said.
In a valley not far from Mt. Fuji, several Japanese people are gathering here. They were dressed in tattered clothes and had pistols pinned to their waists. Although their faces were full of exhaustion, the occasional gleam in their eyes showed their fierceness.
"Ninomiya-kun, what is the purpose of the large number of people who are moving around Mt. Fuji, and even sending a large army into the vicinity of Mt. Fuji to encircle and suppress?" A middle-aged man asked.
"I don't know, but if it's going to be a big man visiting Mt. Fuji?" A slightly younger man returned. His name was Jishige Ninomiya, and he was the wing commander of the 3rd Infantry Wing of the former Japanese Army Guards Division. During the Battle of Koshigaya, the Guards Division was crippled, and they were lucky enough to take the remnants with them and fled to the mountains around Mt. Fuji. In the beginning, there were more than 2,000 people under their command. However, after many encirclements and suppressions by the Chinese* army, only a few hundred people remained. However, the rest of these people are also elites.
In peacetime, these Japanese troops were scattered around Mt. Fuji and would assemble to attack if the need arose.
"Big shots? Will the big shots of Shina come to Mt. Fuji? Unless they don't want to live anymore. The middle-aged man scoffed. Like Jishige Ninomiya, he was the wing commander of the 2nd Wing of the Japanese Guards Division, named Nomura Kujiro.
"Whether or not there are big people coming to Mt. Fuji, let's try it out and try it, what if we can catch a big fish? Even killing the governor of Japan against the Shina people would be a heavy blow to them. Jishige Ninomiya said.
Kujiro Nomura did not answer, but fell into hard contemplation. Now, the strength of their ranks is already very weak, and attacking your important targets in the Chinese* army, whether successful or not, will result in heavy losses. Moreover, it will be frantically encircled and suppressed by the Chinese* army afterwards. If not, they'll all have to die here. Therefore, Kujiro Nomura thinks that it is too risky.
"Ninomiya-kun, our intelligence officer in Tokyo, is there any news coming back?" Kujiro Nomura asked.
Jinomiya shook his head: "There is no news yet. ”
"Ninomiya-kun, our current strength is already very weak, and if we rashly launch an attack, whether we succeed or not, we will suffer heavy losses. Afterwards, they will be surrounded and suppressed by the Chinese people. When the time comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on. Kujiro Nomura said.
"Nomura-kun? Is it necessary for us to continue to survive like this? It has only been a year since the Shina people occupied Japan, and we have lost most of our strength. If the Shina people continue to rule Japan, it won't be long before we are all wiped out. His Majesty the Emperor is in the United States, and he is out of reach of us, and if he wants to rescue us, he will not be able to take care of it for a while. Counting on the Americans to go to war with the Chinese is even more unlikely. At least, not in a short period of time. Therefore, it is estimated that the war will not begin until we are exterminated. Therefore, even if we survive, we will not be able to last long. We can't go on like this, so it's better to gather the last strength and do a big deal. If it succeeds, it will be considered to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Jishige Ninomiya said.
Kujiro Nomura was silent.
"Nonomura-kun, have you forgotten the instructions of His Excellency the division commander before his death? Have you forgotten how His Majesty the Emperor was hanged by the Shina people? Jishige Ninomiya said.
"I haven't forgotten! I, Nomura Kujiro, am a member of His Majesty's most loyal Guards Division, and I am willing to fight for His Majesty until I die in battle. Kujiro Nomura yelled.
The Guards Division of the Japanese Army was originally the elite of the Japanese Army, and at the same time, it was also the most loyal unit of the Japanese Emperor, and everyone was a diehard member of the Emperor. Although the Chinese Governor-General's Office in Japan tried many ways to weaken the influence of the emperor, it seemed that it was of no use to these guys at all.
"In that case, Nengmura-kun, we will launch an attack and fight with the Shina people. Even if it is a broken jade, it will make the people of China pay a heavy price. Jishige Ninomiya said.
Before Kujiro Nomura could speak, a young man ran over with an excited face.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, great news!" The young man said loudly.
"Koizumi-kun, what's the news?" Kujiro Nomura asked.
"Your Excellency, according to the reliable information we have received, it seems that the emperor of the Shina people has arrived in Japan." Koizumi said.
"What? The emperor of the people of China is coming? How is this possible? Kujiro Nomura said with a look of disbelief.
"Yes! How could the emperor of the Shina people come to Japan? Japan is so dangerous, don't they want to live? Ninomiya Jishige also said. It's unbelievable to think so.
"Your Excellency, this is true. The news came from the Saionji family. Saionji Kobo's second son, Saionji Kawahei, said this after getting drunk. This news should be true. Koizumi said.
"It's so unbelievable that the emperor of the Shina people is here." Kujiro Nomura muttered.
"Nomura-kun, this is an opportunity for us. The emperor of the Shina people is here, and if we can kill him, Shina will be in chaos. When the time comes, we may be able to free ourselves from the rule of the Chinese people. Jishige Ninomiya said excitedly.
"This is Amaterasu blessing us, and it is the will of His Majesty the Emperor. The people of Shina killed His Majesty the Emperor by brutal means. Now, it's time for us to kill the Emperor of the Shina people and save it for His Majesty the Emperor. Nomura-kun, what are you still hesitating about? Jishige Ninomiya said.
"If we launch this attack, whether we succeed or not, the Shina people will not let us go. When the time comes, we will face the encirclement and suppression of the Chinese people, and we will all die. Kujiro Nomura said.
"As long as we can kill the emperor of the Chinese people, even if we die, it is worth it." Jishige Ninomiya said with a firm face.
"Okay, Ninomiya-kun, then we'll bet this time. We gathered all the people and fought with the Chinese people. If you can kill the emperor of the Shina people in one fell swoop, it would be the best. Kujiro Nomura said.
"Okay, Amaterasu bless us, we will definitely succeed this time." Jishige Ninomiya said.
Nomura Kujiro and the others gave the order to gather all the resistance elements and launch an attack on the target of the suspected Chinese emperor who entered Mt. Fuji, and tried to kill the Chinese emperor in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Wu Haoxuan and others, who were visiting Mt. Fuji, did not know about it at all. (To be continued.) )
