Chapter 4548 Kill them all

Fang Yi Nao was lying down in his clothes. In the evening, Monobe Ashikaga had someone send him a gift of apology.

Although the Mononobe clan was a wealthy family in the Japanese country, they had fallen into decline since the reign of Emperor Yongmei. Now they had not recovered long ago, and they had nothing of elegance in their home. They could only have a few boxes filled with gold.

The Japanese country is prolific in gold and has been mining it for a long time. However, due to backward technology and lack of population, the output has never been high. As a traditional wealthy family in Japan, the Monobe clan also controls several gold mines, but not much gold is mined.

He lost a lot of gold during the fight with the Suga family, and hid some of it in times of crisis for use in the future when he made a comeback, but now he had to send most of the gold to Fang Yizhi as an apology.

……

The Asuka Temple was built by Suga Mazi, the previous generation of the Suga family. It imitated the scenery of the Central Plains and has the aura of "Luoyang Jialan". However, with the destruction of the Suga family, the temple that was filled with incense and candles and had pleasant scenery in the past Already looked dilapidated.

The Mononobe clan relied on the Tang army to rise, so the entire temple was included in the existing temple. However, the time was still short and there was no time to repair and rebuild it.

But it is still one of the best mansions in Asuka.

Monobe Ashikaga dragged his tired footsteps back home, and sat on his knees in the hall, looking through the window at the falling snowflakes in the courtyard, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

It is very difficult to deal with the people of the Tang Dynasty. The label of "benevolence, justice and humility" is used for the Tang people, but under this label are various methods of calmness. Even a military commander can win over, suppress, divide and rule. This kind of strategy comes easily and makes me tired of dealing with it. In the end, I have to be shy and humiliated and grovel.

If you are not as strong as others, what can you do?

The family has long been worried and anxious because of today's large-scale action by the Tang Army. After all, the Monobe clan has experienced the pain of losing the battle with the Soga clan. Now that it has just risen, the fear of the past has not yet subsided. They are afraid that the Tang army will target Monobe. Shi, the glory and wealth he finally obtained was lost again.

Losing that gold is already heartbreaking. If we lose our current status again...

The children, wives and concubines all gathered around Mononobe Ashikaga, looking at him with worried eyes.

The eldest son Monobe Umaro said in fear: "Father, you must not have any quarrel with the Tang Dynasty. The Tang people's goal is not the territory of the Japanese country, but the resources of the Japanese country. They can take whatever they want, as long as they can ensure that my family controls the Japanese country." Political power, everything else can be abandoned.”

There are also smart people in the Japanese country. They can see clearly that the Tang Dynasty looked down on the poor mountains, volcanic islands and reefs of the Japanese country. They were only interested in the gold and silver mines everywhere, as well as the Japanese population.

However, these were of no use to the Japanese country, because they had no mining technology. Instead of leaving the gold and silver in the mountains, it would be better to use it to applaud the Tang Dynasty, so that the Monobe clan could gain the support of the Tang Dynasty.

As for the population, there is no need to worry about it. If these Japanese people can go to the Tang Dynasty in big ships to make a living, isn't it ten times a hundred times better than staying in the Japanese country? Don't talk about stupid things like doing the hardest and most tiring work in the past, and no one can persist for several years, because staying in Japan will only make it more miserable!

Monobe Ashikaga rubbed his swollen temples and said slowly: "They don't want anything this time, just the Nakatomi clan."

Mononobe Umaro was overjoyed: "Isn't that just right? Now in the Japanese country, there are only three pillars: my family, the Jibu clan, and the Nakatomi clan. If the Nakatomi clan is cut off, only the Jibu clan will be left. My family will gradually grow with the help of the Tang Dynasty, and sooner or later, the Jibu clan will also be swallowed up. By then, my family will be the only one in Japan, and we will be crowned emperor soon.”

Everyone in the hall became excited. Can he be crowned emperor?

The descendants of Amaterasu have ruled the Japanese country for eternity, and they can one day be replaced by our Mononobe clan!

Mononobe Ashikaga looked at this stupid son and was too lazy to say more. He waved his hand and said: "Let's gather the family troops. Join the Tang army tonight and destroy the Nakatomi clan in one fell swoop. Remember to eradicate the roots and not leave any future troubles!"


"Yes! Let's do it now, kid."

Monobe Umaro stood up excitedly and left quickly.

"You all should step aside, and my grandson will stay and talk to me."

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed, leaving only Monobe, the direct grandson of the Mononobe clan.

Monobe is only ten years old this year. He is small and thin, with few burnt-yellow hair. He has a flat nose, bubbly eyes, and a papaya face, but he has already seen the fine bloodline of the Mononobe family. At this moment, he raised his little face and asked curiously. Said: "Grandpa, do you have anything to say to your grandson?"

Mononobe Ashikaga looked at his favorite grandson Monobe, twirled his head, and sighed: "When the Tang army escorts the prisoners to Chang'an for trial, my grandfather will spend money to buy you a boat ticket. Go to the Tang Dynasty, where is The real Takamagahara ”

What can I do if I stay in Japan?

Even if he ascends to the throne of emperor with the support of the Tang army in the future and becomes the nominal ruler of the Japanese country, he will be nothing more than a hawk under the hands of the Tang army. When it is in the interests of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army will vigorously support it, but if it is not in the interests of the Tang army, If the interests of the Tang army are not compromised, the Tang army will become as ruthless as it is today and be completely destroyed.

This little grandson is smart and smart, and has more hope of leading the Monobe clan than his stupid father. He will be sent to the Tang Dynasty to enter Zhenguan Academy or Taixue in the Tang Dynasty. If he is lucky, he can become a disciple of a great Confucian and become a true scholar. A truly authentic Tang Dynasty person, he then moved the entire Mononobe clan into the Tang Dynasty and became a long-established family.

Although the people of the Tang Dynasty were fierce and domineering, they had the world in mind and were kind and generous. Even if something happened to the Japanese country, it would not involve this ten-year-old child.

Monobe's bright eyes were full of longing: "Is the Tang Dynasty really that good? Is Chang'an really as big and prosperous as the legend says?"

Monobe Ashikaga looked doting on his face: "I have never been there either, I just heard others talk about it. My grandson will go there and have a look for his grandfather, okay?"

"Okay!"

No matter how smart the child is, he still doesn't understand the current difficulties that his family is facing, let alone the hardships his grandfather has to face when he is sent to Chang'an.

It's just like all foreigners nowadays, they are full of infinite yearning for that magical country and that sacred city. They would rather spend their whole lives to see and experience it.

……

The path of time is always like this. The harder the pressure, the greater the backlash.

As the loser in the Buddhist war, the Mononobe clan has been severely suppressed and persecuted by the Soga clan in recent years. The clan members are terrified for fear that their fate will be in danger. Originally one of the oldest families in the Japanese country, they are living like the lowest slaves. My heart is filled with fear and anger.

Now that he had gained power, received the support of the Tang army, and became the actual controller of the Japanese regime, all the anger and fear that had been squeezed out burst out.

When Mononobe Umaro led the Tang army to the Nakatomi clan's residence, the Tang army had just completed the siege, and Mononobe Umaro had already led his troops to fight in.

Mononobe Umaro ignored the past friendship between the two families and betrayed the Nakatomi clan today. Then the two families would be mortal enemies from tomorrow on. He had to eradicate the situation without leaving any trouble, so he ordered the massacre of the entire Nakatomi clan.

More than a hundred soldiers rushed into the Nakatomi clan's mansion and killed everyone on sight. The blood instantly stained the most noble clan's palace in Japan.

The Nakatomi clan also organized several counterattacks, but they all failed because the Mononobe clan's attacks were too sudden and too powerful.

When Mononobe's family soldiers rushed into the inner house, the pace of killing was stopped. The beautiful women in the inner house attracted the attention of the family soldiers. One by one, they were dragged into the room and joined by several people, or even in the courtyard. They committed violence in Kinoshita, Inoue, Xiaolin, Zhuzhong... and some even broke into the warehouse and looted wantonly.

Monobe Umaro led his followers from front to back as they entered the courtyard and killed them all, killing all the Nakatomi clan's children.

After he killed all the Nakatomi clan's children, when he returned and saw the miserable state of the entire Nakatomi clan's mansion, he immediately ordered a fire and burned the entire Nakatomi clan's mansion to the ground.

The captain of the Tang army was very dissatisfied and scolded: "The order given to you is to arrest the Zhongchen clan, why do you want to massacre them?"

Mononobe Umaro carefully explained: "Since the Nakatomi clan dared to assassinate the noble man of the Tang Dynasty, he was obviously ready to leak the matter. As soon as we entered the gate, we encountered strong resistance and had to kill them all, including the Nakatomi clan. The disciples wanted to burn everything together and set fire to the entire mansion. Although we tried our best to put out the fire, the fire was too strong and we were unable to do anything. "

After saying that, he asked his soldiers to divide more than half of the looted money...

The Tang Military Academy captain was very angry: "Catching people for stolen goods, and catching traitors and couples. Originally there was no evidence that the Zhongchen clan assassinated nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Now that you have killed everyone in the Zhongchen clan, isn't it true that there is no evidence? This responsibility lies with you!"< br>


Mononobe Umaro was helpless. If you hadn't allowed me to massacre, why didn't you stop it just now?

Now after I finish the killing, will I bear all the charges alone?

But he understood that this was the strategy of the Tang army, which was to throw the crime of eradicating the Nakatomi clan onto the Mononobe clan. The Mononobe clan had no way to avoid it.

After all, if you want to get Tang Jun's firm support, you must have something to hold by the other party. Otherwise, why would Tang Jun trust Monobe and support him?

"General, don't worry, this matter was done by Mononobe, so it will naturally be Monobe's responsibility!"

Now whoever wants to gain a foothold in the Japanese country must hold firmly to the thighs of the Tang army. Their stance must be firm, and they must not be smart or swaying.

The Tang military captain was very satisfied and patted Umaru Monobe on the shoulder: "Although this matter violates the general's order, I will intercede for you in front of the general, so..."

Mononobe Umaro's eyelids twitched, and he could only offer the rest of the looted money in pain.

"Please give me a kind word, General."

"This is right, there is a future..."

……

When Liu Renyuan received the news of the destruction of the Zhongchen clan, his face remained calm. He bent over his desk and wrote a letter to Fang Jun. Then he checked every word carefully, put it in an envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and sent it back to Chang'an with Li Shaokang.

Well, there are also Mononobe clan's direct grandsons who went with the ship to Chang'an to study... (End of this chapter)
