Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Chapter 185: Spiritual Summoning of the Emperor

Ling Zhao stood in the center of the crowd, feeling the warm and determined gazes of the tribesmen around him.

She took a deep breath, calmed her inner excitement, and then began to speak slowly: "My fellow clansmen, today we stand at a turning point in the history of Japan. Our goal is clear, and that is to avenge Emperor Rei-en and make the entire Tokugawa family pay for their crimes."

She looked around and continued, "We have recaptured Edo Castle from the Tokugawa shogunate. This is our victory and the hope for the future of Japan. However, the battle is far from over. At this moment, nearly 300,000 troops are fighting a life-and-death battle with the Tokugawa army in Kyoto. This is a battle that will determine the fate of Japan. If we win, Japan will usher in a new era. If we lose, our royal family will sink into darkness forever."

At this point, Ling Zhao's eyes flashed with determination. She knew the importance of this battle and was also aware of the responsibility she shouldered.

She took a deep breath and raised her voice: "My fellow clansmen, if you are afraid of death and want to leave now, I will not force you. However, if you are willing to live and die with the royal family and are willing to fight to the end for the future of Japan, then please take up arms and fight alongside me to defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate completely!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a round of warm applause and cheers. The tribesmen were moved by her passion and determination, and expressed their willingness to fight bravely for the future of Japan.

Ling Zhao looked at the tribesmen in front of her, her heart filled with gratitude and pride. She knew that this battle was not only for revenge, but also for the future of Japan and the dignity of the royal family.

She firmly believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to defeat the Tokugawa shogunate and usher in a new era of imperial power.

Seeing that Ling Zhao was highly respected and supported by her clansmen, Hou Xi stepped forward and solemnly announced: "Emperor Ling Yuan has passed away, and the country cannot be without a leader for a day. I now solemnly appoint Princess Ling Zhao as the 113th Emperor of Great Wa, with the title of Emperor Ling Zhao!"

As Emperor Atsushi finished his words, the clan members burst into thunderous applause, like surging waves, one after another.

In the history of Japan, there have been eight outstanding female emperors. Therefore, when Emperor Atsushi announced that Princess Reijo would be the new female emperor, everyone was convinced and had no objection. They firmly believed that Princess Reijo was an envoy sent by Emperor Jimmu to restore order to the royal family.

Wei Xiaobao never expected that Houxi would appoint Lingzhao as the emperor. His eighth wife is now on the throne, so how will he face it? As the husband of the empress, is he a male favorite? Or a face-to-face lover? These identities make him confused and bewildered.

Just as he was lost in thought, the voice of the retired Emperor Hou Xi sounded again: "From today on, Japan will officially join the Tiandi Federation and become one of its member states. At the same time, Emperor Ling Zhao's husband, the Tiandi Federation's Grand Commander Wei Xiaobao, will be named Prince Yamato."

Upon hearing this, the clan members knelt down one after another, kowtowed to Ling Zhao and Wei Xiaobao, and shouted in unison: "Greetings to His Majesty Emperor Ling Zhao, and Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yamato!"

Seeing this, Princess Lingzhao hastily declined, saying, "Father, this is not allowed. My brother is no longer alive, and the throne should be taken by you."

The Grand Emperor Houxi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Silly child, your father is old, and he can't control your soldiers. In order to restore the imperial power, this important task must be undertaken by you."

Ling Zhao found that his father's words were reasonable and it was useless to refuse, so he silently accepted the appointment.

At this moment, the system sound in Wei Xiaobao's mind suddenly rang.

[Congratulations to the host for occupying the Kinai region and gaining a territory value of square kilometers. The current territory value is points]

When the news of the victory in the decisive battle in Kyoto came, Wei Xiaobao was very excited and immediately informed Ling Zhao of the good news.

After hearing this, Ling Zhao was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. It took her a long time to calm down. She looked at everyone and said with a trembling voice: "Fellow clansmen, I just received good news. We won a great victory in the decisive battle in Kyoto, and the Tokugawa army has been annihilated!"

Upon hearing this, the clan members cheered. The two hundred years of imperial power falling into the hands of others had finally come to an end. The nearly eighty years of the Tokugawa shogunate came to an end, and the era of the emperor had arrived again.

At this time, the two cavalry battalions of the Tiandi Alliance Guard Regiment and the Guard Regiment had arrived at the scene and quickly launched a security mission. An hour later, the two regiments led by Su Quan and He Ti Shou also arrived beside Wei Xiaobao.

When Wei Xiaobao asked the Emperor Houxi about the next action plan, the Emperor Houxi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to Kyoto first. Lingyuan's funeral must be held according to the standards of a national funeral. Princess Lingzhao's coronation ceremony must also be held, and both must be held in the ancestral temple in Kyoto."

After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao immediately ordered his troops to march north to Kyoto. He told everyone that if they encountered the defeated Tokugawa army on the way, they could destroy them directly without asking for permission.

The well-equipped Guards and Imperial Guards walked in front, and the Imperial Guards dispatched a battalion of troops to escort the royal convoy following closely behind.

Wei Xiaobao and his group also got on the carriage, and the team slowly moved towards Kyoto.

The crying, mad and crazy Masamizu Oda was acupunctured and thrown into a carriage. Atsushi said that he would use his blood to apologize to the world during the sacrifice to heaven.

.........

Tokugawa Koyasu led more than 200 cavalry guards in a hurry and rushed all the way to Edo. They galloped and did not dare to stop for a moment.

Thinking back to the thrilling decisive battle in Kyoto, the 700,000-strong army was completely wiped out. The Tokugawa shogunate now has no troops available.

Tokugawa Koyasu knew that the war would soon reach Edo Castle, and the fall of the city was only a matter of time. At this moment, the only thing he could count on was the Edo Navy and the Izu Navy.

"We have to act quickly!" Tokugawa Koyasu made up his mind. He had to first ensure that the Emperor's family would not be discovered by the Heaven and Earth Alliance and transfer them to the Hojo family's territory on the Izu Peninsula. In this way, they could temporarily avoid the enemy's edge and buy enough time and space for a comeback in the future.

On horseback, Tokugawa Koyasu had already made up his mind and thought of a way to retreat. He unconsciously patted the horse's back, asking it to speed up and gallop towards Edo Castle.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to hold the emperor hostage and protect the future of the Tokugawa shogunate!

At night, since neither the people nor the horses could see the road clearly, Tokugawa Koyasu had to stop no matter how anxious he was. At a marching speed of 100 kilometers a day, it would take another three days to reach Edo. Tokugawa Koyasu always felt his right eyelid twitching, and he was very nervous, really worried that something might happen in Edo.
