It is said that within half an hour, Zhao Min secretly gathered the soldiers in the camp.

On the surface, these soldiers did not show any unusual movements. They seemed to be eating and drinking as usual, as if nothing had changed. But in fact, groups of three or four had already taken shifts and started sharpening their swords in the tents.

Of course, the Japanese on the city walls of Tokyo had no idea about this. After all, they had been besieging the city for several months. Not to mention that they didn't see anything, even if they saw some cats, there was nothing to be surprised about.

Because the enemy is at the gates, and if they're lined up, sharpening their weapons, even if they're eager to attack you, isn't that perfectly reasonable?

…

In the Kandong capital, in Qianye Kong's bedroom, Qianye Kong was standing on the roof of the palace, feeling her long black hair fluttering in the wind. She felt very conflicted in her heart. She didn't know how long it had been, until the wind got stronger and stronger, she sighed and said, "It's time to make a decision."

"I don't know how long this autumn wind will last. If I don't take action before the wind stops, Zhang Wuji will not give me another chance."

"This Tokyo city will be reduced to ashes no matter what. Whether it is me who sets it on fire or Zhang Wuji who sets it on fire is not so important to the people and soldiers of Japan, because Zhang Wuji is bound to take this city."

"When the nest is overturned, I can only save myself and Sakura Pavilion."

A moment later, Qianye Kong stepped on a pair of wooden clogs and flew down from the palace. After hearing the sound of a tower, a beautiful maid came to him. There was some panic on the maid's face. Obviously, she knew Qianye Kong's plan and what she wanted to do. What Qianye Kong did would most likely succeed, because the people of Sakura Pavilion have always been steady and cautious in doing things, which is also a necessary condition for people who engage in intelligence.

After another moment of silence, Qianye Kong finally gritted his teeth and said, "The Ming army is too strong. Anyone can see that Tokyo City and the entire Japan are doomed to fail. If Zhang Wuji enters Tokyo City, they will definitely kill everyone here. Even if he can't break in for the time being, the hundreds of thousands of people in our city are destined to starve to death one day."

"Go and pass the message. As long as Tokyo City burns, at least all the sisters of our Sakura Pavilion can be saved."

After hearing this, the beautiful maid naturally said no more. She was just a small person. Since Qianye Kong had made a decision, she would just do it. After the matter was done, she only needed to stay behind Qianye Kong. As long as she stayed behind Qianye Kong honestly, as long as Qianye Kong was fine, she would not be in any trouble either.

…

After waiting for more than a month, a windy day finally arrived. Zhao Min had already made preparations. At this moment, she and Zhang Wuji were observing the movements on the top of the city wall.

"If Qianye doesn't seize this opportunity, I will kill her with my own hands after I break into the city."

Zhang Wuji said: "If that woman really dares to disobey you, then she and her entire Sakura Pavilion will also be eliminated, leaving no one alive."

…

At this moment, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min were feeling a little nervous and a little excited. No matter what, although they did not tell their soldiers about what happened today, they had made their intention of attacking the city very clear.

Once the meaning of some things is expressed, they must be carried out. Otherwise, they will end up declining and finally exhausted.

This was the first time in several months of siege that Zhao Min had almost explicitly told her officers and soldiers about her intention to attack the city. How could there be no follow-up?

Suddenly, Zhang Wuji sniffed hard: "Cigarette?"

Zhang Wuji glanced at Zhao Min, obviously seeking confirmation. Zhao Min calmed herself down and then nodded vigorously: "It's smoke."

"It seems that Qianye Kong has already taken some action."

Afterwards, Zhao Min turned around and shouted loudly to Yang Xiao and other generals not far behind her: "Prepare to attack the city. You generals, as agreed in advance, take turns to fight. No matter what method you use, no matter how long it takes, you are not allowed to stop for a moment until my army enters the city."

Yang Xiao and other generals have been impatient for a long time. After staying outside the city of Tokyo for several months, they are finally ready to attack the city.

There was no siege horn. Yang Xiao just gently raised a large flag with the word "Yang" written on it. Thousands of soldiers in the camp almost instantly formed a siege formation. Hundreds of ladders were carried on the soldiers' shoulders, swords and spears were sharpened, and the soldiers had already put on heavy armor.

They didn't even shout or scream, but just ran towards Tokyo City like crazy under the leadership of Yang Xiao.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers on the city wall, they first smelled the smell of gunpowder. Without knowing why, they just thought that someone's house was on fire due to the dry weather. But what they didn't know was that at this moment, at least Qianye Kong's bedroom had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Just when the Japanese on the city wall were confused, the Ming army rushed to the bottom of the city without beating drums or blowing trumpets, making almost no noise.

"Attack, attack, the Ming army is attacking the city."

"Shoot arrows quickly, don't let them get close to the city wall."

…

Looking back at Kyoto, Hirohito Hiroichi was still holding a meeting in the Amaterasu Palace. For no other reason than that they had already reached a conclusion on the negotiation conditions brought by Chiba Sora a month ago.

That is to grind for a while. The food in the city is enough to eat for a year. After grinding for a few months, when the Ming army can no longer afford it, they should be able to pay less than a few million taels of gold and tens of millions of taels of silver. However, although the result has been discussed, it has become a huge problem when it comes to actually getting the money. That is, no family can honestly give all their property to the Ming army.

At this moment, what Hirohito Hiroichi did was to ask the nobles and ministers in Tokyo to report their own property. This was a cumbersome process. They had already accepted the statement of war reparations, but did not want to pay the money for their own families. Therefore, everyone was trying to find ways to conceal their property.

However, just as they were scheming among themselves, an old eunuch hurriedly pushed open the door of the Amaterasu Hall.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Queen's bedroom is on fire."
