As Japan completely opened its door to the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Ming Dynasty businessmen poured into Japan. Scandium
While they brought a large amount of various goods to Japan, they also promoted Japan's economic development.
Although generally speaking, Japan was being harvested by the Ming Dynasty, Japan also developed in this process.
Especially Edo!
As the territory of the Tokugawa family, Edo is the true capital of Japan and one of its important ports for opening up to the outside world. Its prosperity is needless to say.
If many Ming merchants wanted to come to Japan for trade, Edo would be their first choice.
Zhuang Qiang stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the Edo coastline that was getting closer in the distance, his eyes full of anticipation.
Zhuang Qiang's business is selling sugar. While selling sugar, he is also involved in human trafficking and hired labor from Japan. Scandium
His family has a sugar cane plantation on Taiyuan Island. From sugar cane planting to sugar production, the plantation basically has all the industries and one-stop services.
Every time he came to Japan, he would bring a boat full of sugar to Edo for trading.
After selling the sugar in Edo, the money from the sugar sales was used to buy some Japanese women or hire some Japanese laborers to replenish the fleet and then return.
Come and go, it can be said that you make a lot of money.
Whether it's sugar or human trade, they are both very lucrative industries.
The reason why Japanese women were bought was because, after being transported back to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, these Japanese women would be sold as wives to bachelors who could not find wives.
If the relationship is just an employment relationship, then whether or not to marry depends on the Japanese girl's own wishes. Scandium
Daming still has certain protection for the rights and interests of workers, even if the workers are foreign workers.
As long as he is still a free man, his autonomy in life is protected by the Ming Law. (Except for large agricultural tools)
Therefore, in order to save these troubles, Ming merchants like Zhuang Qiang always purchased Japanese women directly.
After buying them, he has the right to dispose and own the Japanese girls, and it is he who has the final say on how to arrange them.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty don’t care!
The reason why laborers need to be hired is not to directly purchase slaves to use as laborers.
To put it bluntly, that’s because slaves are property. Scandium
And workers are just workers!
If a slave is sick, injured, or dead, it will be a serious property loss for the owner.
As long as the master is not stupid, it is impossible to really use the slave to death.
After all, if you buy a big animal, you have to be careful with it, let alone a person?
What about laborers?
You can hire them by paying them, and they have nothing to do with the boss.
Since they are hired with money, they will naturally try their best to extract their residual value. Scandium
To put it bluntly, it means using it to death.
It won't hurt at all!
Even if you are injured, disabled, or even dead, the most you can do is pay compensation.
And this money is definitely not as much as what is needed to buy a slave.
Therefore, labor must be hired rather than directly purchased as slaves.
Those capitalists in Ming Dynasty are not good people.
Don't look at them. They all behave like good children in front of the imperial power. They buy government bonds and so on. They also actively support each of the policies of the imperial court, and they stand out as a well-behaved and sensible person. Scandium
But when it's time to grab profits, everyone is just a maggot with a dark heart.
My conscience is greatly damaged!
Zhuang Qiang's fleet docked at Edo Port, and he strode down the gangway.
A Japanese businessman wearing a samurai uniform and a Tsukiyo haircut strode up to greet him with a smile on his face.
"Zhuang Sang, long time no see!"
Zhuang Qiang also responded with a smile.
"Yes, Takeda-kun, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Scandium
"This time my ship is filled with sugar and rubber products. I wonder if your arrangements for slaves and laborers are in place."
There are a large number of rubber plantations on Damuan Island. When Zhuang Qiang set out, he also bought some rubber factory labels and prepared to test the water to see if he could sell them.
To engage in big business such as human trade and labor introduction in Japan is not something that a foreigner like Zhuang Qiang can handle.
It is inevitable to have the cooperation of local forces!
This Japanese businessman named Takeda is Zhuang Qiang’s business partner in Japan.
Responsible for reselling Zhuang Qiang's goods shipped to Japan, as well as helping Zhuang Qiang purchase slaves and hire laborers.
In this business, it can be said to be a win-win situation for both parties! Scandium
Zhuang Qiang and Takeda held hands with each other, and then, surrounded by a group of people, walked towards the port.
When they were passing by the business area on the port, they saw a group of Japanese samurai gathered outside the business area. This group of Japanese samurai were demonstrating.
"Expel the unscrupulous Ming merchants and end the criminal human trade!"
A poorly dressed Japanese samurai stood in front of a group of people and shouted loudly.
When his voice fell, the demonstrators shouted in unison.
"Expel the unscrupulous Ming merchants and end the criminal human trade!"
“Expell the unscrupulous Ming merchants and end the criminal human trade!” Scandium
"..."
A group of warriors were excited and kept shouting.
The leading warrior continued to shout.
"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, Shogun Tokugawa steps down!"
Everyone immediately followed and shouted.
"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, Shogun Tokugawa steps down!"
"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, Shogun Tokugawa steps down!" Scandium
"..."
As soon as his voice fell, the warrior shouted again.
"Return the power to the emperor, long live Japan!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the demonstrators was completely ignited.
Everyone's face turned red and they roared.
"Return the power to the emperor, long live Japan!"
"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, Shogun Tokugawa steps down!" Scandium
"Expell Chinese businessmen and end the human trade!"
"..."
The entire business area of the dock was in chaos, with moving heads and loud shouts everywhere.
Zhuang Qiang was surrounded by a group of guards. Looking at the chaos in the business area, he couldn't help but frown.
If you want to do business with Japanese people, Zhuang Qiang naturally knows some Japanese.
The slogans of those warriors demonstrating made him slightly uneasy.
Those Japanese samurai demonstrated to expel the unscrupulous Ming merchants and end the criminal human trade, and wasn't he the same Chinese businessman who was engaged in the human trade? Scandium
Precise positioning!
Seeing this scene, Takeda on the side seemed to understand Zhuang Qiang's worries, and spoke with a rather indifferent expression on his face.
"Don't worry Zhuang Sang, these people are useless!"
"They are just a group of so-called samurai. Let alone them, even if the people behind them come forward, they cannot threaten the good relationship between the shogunate and the Ming Dynasty."
The current relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa Shogunate is not just a sect-vassal relationship in name only.
There is a real interest relationship between the two parties.
The Ming Dynasty needed the Tokugawa Shogunate to maintain the stable rule of Japan so that the Ming Dynasty could draw blood from Japan to feed its own industrial and commercial development. Scandium
The Tokugawa shogunate also needed to purchase arms and weapons from the Ming Dynasty to strengthen its own force and prevent the Northern Expedition of the Manchu Qing forces on Shikoku Island.
A relationship with actual interests cannot be changed by a group of warriors just saying a few words.
Not to mention that those who are out for demonstrations now are just a group of samurai under the orders of the emperor.
Even if the emperor personally came forward, it would not change the current friendly relationship between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Ming Dynasty.
As for how Takeda knew that these samurai who came out to demonstrate were ordered by the Emperor of Japan.
Haha, you can tell by looking at their slogans, okay?
Let the Tokugawa shogunate step down and return power to the emperor. Looking at the slogans, even a fool can know who is behind these people, okay? Scandium
The result was just as Takeda expected. Just when the samurai were about to smash up the Ming Dynasty store in the dock business district, a group of Tokugawa soldiers who maintained law and order appeared.
The Tokugawa soldiers carried muskets and samurai swords, rushed directly into the crowd, and began to suppress the demonstrations, their actions were very rough.
Of course, when they dispersed the crowd, they only used wooden sticks, and the muskets and samurai swords were just decorations, which at most served as a deterrent.
Facing a group of people who were just demonstrating, these Tokugawa samurai would not directly kill people.
Under the violent actions of these soldiers, the crowd that had been demonstrating just a moment ago was dispersed, and calm returned to the pier.
However, the undercurrent hidden under the calmness is seen by many people.
With his thoughts in mind, Zhuang Qiang invited Takeda to find an izakaya to have a drink with him.
Takeda smiled and agreed.
Japan's izakaya culture and geisha culture are both very good.
As long as the white powder on the faces of the geishas and the black paint on the teeth are washed away, these short but gentle Japanese geishas are still quite interesting.
Zhuang Qiang and Takeda were having a drink in the izakaya, and before they knew it, it was midnight. They were going to sleep in the izakaya, and simply waited until tomorrow to inspect the goods and conduct transactions.
Zhuang Qiang was helped to the room by two geishas. Before leaving, he winked at Takeda.
And now Takeda is also holding a geisha up and down his hands, touching the geisha's pretty face and turning red.
Although geisha are nominally prostitutes, not their bodies, but again, you have to pay extra.
As long as enough money is given, whether or not to sell one's body is just a matter of words.
Takeda saw Zhuang Qiang's wink and looked back at him, laughing loudly.
"Zhuang Sang, I want two at once, so don't be unable to get up tomorrow morning!"
Zhuang Qiang waved his hand and said.
"Haha, I am so great!"
"Don't say two, I can handle two more."
Two men spoke in pornographic accents unscrupulously.
The relationship between men and men is also developed little by little in this way.
Zhuang Qiang entered the house with two geishas in his arms, and then lay down under their service.
After that, he didn't have to do anything. These two geishas would provide him with the most considerate services.
Well, it’s simply called sit up and move!
However, just when Zhuang Qiang closed his eyes and enjoyed the beauty's service, suddenly, there was an explosion outside.
Boom! Boom!
Amidst bursts of roaring, a blazing fire broke out in the dock area of Edo, and the light of the fire turned half of the sky red. Scandium
Zhuang Qiang, who had been as big as a fight just now, was frightened and instantly softened.
Although he was a little drunk after drinking, he was not completely drunk to the point where he didn't know anything.
Well, a man who drinks to the point where he doesn't know anything can't get hard.
So, drinking and having sex are all excuses.
Zhuang Qiang resisted his dizziness, climbed up from the tatami with the help of two geishas, came to the window, and looked outside.
Then, he saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of the dock area.
And more importantly, the fire was still spreading towards him. Scandium
Zhuang Qiang's expression changed, and he hurriedly dressed and prepared to go out to escape. As if he remembered something, he stumbled and knocked on Takeda's door.
He pulled Takeda off the geisha, whose buttocks were still twitching, and spoke.
"Stop the fucking thing and leave quickly. There's a fire outside and it's coming towards us!"
"If you don't leave, you will become a roast duck!"
Takeda was also a little dizzy from drinking. He didn't even put on his pants, so he was dragged out by Zhuang Qiang.
When they left the izakaya and came to the street.
Then he saw chaos on the street, with a disheveled man and woman screaming and running away.
A faint shout came from the direction of the fire.
"Return the power to the emperor, long live Japan!"
"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, Shogun Tokugawa steps down!"
“Expel unscrupulous Chinese businessmen and end the criminal human trade!”
"..."
Some Japanese samurai holding samurai swords with white cloths tied on their heads shouted loudly as they headed towards the Shogun's Palace and the Imperial Palace.
The riots are spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye! Scandium
Seeing this scene, no matter how dull a person is, they should realize that something is wrong!
Someone was trying to stage a coup, and the target was the Tokugawa shogunate.
Zhuang Qiang suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and he quickly sobered up from most of his alcoholism.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Zhuang Sang, what should we do!"
Takeda, who had still swore that the samurai demonstrators were useless during the day, was now panicked and subconsciously asked Zhuang Qiang.
However, Zhuang Qiang, a foreigner, didn't know what to do, so he just spoke.
"Either go to the embassy to seek asylum. There are Ming troops stationed at the embassy, which should be able to ensure our safety." Scandium
"Either we take advantage of the current chaos to board the ship, leave the dock, avoid the chaos for a while, and wait for the matter to settle down before we can land again..."
"..."
After thinking for a while, a group of people ran towards the pier.
It's not that they don't trust the embassy's garrison, but because the dock is relatively close and can be easily accessed by boarding a ship.
After they boarded the ship, Takeda became drunk again and climbed on the bulwark to vomit.
A gust of cold wind blew, making Takeda shiver from the cold. Only then did he realize that he was not wearing pants.
Zhuang Qiang, who was also disheveled, ordered the sailors on the boat.
"Go get two pieces of clothing and make some ginger tea."
After saying that, Zhuang Qiang looked towards Edo Castle.
In Edo Castle, fires were blazing, and riots were spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
…
Tokugawa Ieki is sitting in the study.
He was wearing an iron daikai that weighed dozens of kilograms, and in front of him was a samurai sword once used by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
And in front of him, the retainers and elders of the Tokugawa family gathered together. Scandium
The generals who led the troops were all wearing armor!
Tokugawa Ieki stood up from the tatami and drew his katana with a clang.
The sharp blade reflected the cold light in the moonlight.
With a swish sound, the sword flashed.
Under everyone's gaze, Tokugawa Ieki cut off the corner of the table with his sword, and then spoke in an passionate voice.
"Gentlemen, the rise and fall of our Tokugawa clan will all happen today!"
"If it succeeds, I, the Tokugawa clan, will be the master of Japan. If it fails, we will all die without a burial place!" Scandium
"Please do your best, everyone!"
"If nothing big happens today, I, the general, am willing to die on the battlefield!"
"..."
After Tokugawa Ieki finished speaking, everyone around him clasped his hands in agreement.
"Please rest assured, General, I will not disappoint you!"
After saying this, Tokugawa Ieki began to arrange manpower to prepare for the counter-insurgency work.
It is not accurate to say that it is counter-insurgency work! Scandium
Because, to put it bluntly, the chaos in Edo City today is being secretly promoted by the Tokugawa family.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a group of baseless samurai to start an uprising in Edo Castle, the headquarters of the Tokugawa family.
The reason why the Tokugawa family did this was, on the one hand, to have an excuse to attack the Emperor of Japan and force him to step down.
On the other hand, it was also for the purpose of enforcing the law and cleaning up the forces in Edo Castle that were biased towards the emperor.
This further ensured that the Tokugawa family would not face too fierce a counterattack after the emperor passed away.
And the most important thing the Tokugawa family has to do now is not to put down the rebellion, but to take the opportunity to bring down the emperor after putting down the rebellion.
Although Tokugawa Ieki knew that from a comparison of strength, the Tokugawa family definitely defeated the emperor. Scandium
However, as the leader of Shintoism, the emperor has ruled for a long time, even if it is only in name, the influence he has on Japan is self-evident.
Now that they are going to take action against the emperor of the Eternal Line, these retainers of the Tokugawa family will naturally be under great psychological pressure.
Tokugawa Ieki nodded vigorously, and then spoke.
"Gentlemen, the rise and fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate is entirely entrusted to your hands!"
After saying this, Tokugawa Ieki strode out of his study, holding a samurai sword, and led the team out of the Shogun's Mansion.
After defeating the rebels who invaded the General's Mansion, they quickly headed towards the Imperial Palace.
……scandium
Chen Zhang stood on the balcony of the master bedroom on the second floor of the embassy, looking at the chaos and fire in Edo Castle.
He was wearing silk pajamas and holding a glass of red wine in his hand, looking relaxed and confident.
With the exchanges between the East and the West, not only did the Ming Dynasty spread its culture to the West, but Western culture also began to influence the Ming Dynasty.
This thing is mutual!
Many dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty also fell in love with drinking red wine.
Chen Zhang is one of them.
When he drinks red wine, he can taste the taste of it. Scandium
The fruity aroma exploded in his mouth. Enjoying the slightly astringent but very layered taste, Chen Zhang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
I couldn't help but admire it in my heart.
"Although those Westerners are a bit vulgar and ugly, their red wine still tastes good."
Behind Chen Zhang, a Japanese concubine whom he had always doted on stepped forward, gently hugged his waist, rested her head on his back, and spoke in a soft voice.
"Master, what's going on outside? I'm afraid!"
Chen Zhang smiled slightly, placed the red wine glass in his hand on the table on the balcony, turned around, touched his concubine's head, and said.
"It's okay, just go to sleep!" Scandium
"It will be all over early tomorrow morning!"
"It'll be okay!"
Chen Zhang liked this petite, weak, and obedient Japanese concubine very much, and she was also quite gentle when she spoke.
Facts have proved that no man can refuse a little woman who is obedient to his demands and is extremely gentle.
The reason why Chen Zhang said this was not just to appease his concubine, but also because he had confidence in the Tokugawa Shogunate's actions this time.
He felt that the Tokugawa shogunate had a high probability of being able to accomplish this.
And more importantly, Chen Zhang has confidence in Ming Dynasty. Scandium
Chen Zhang knew that no matter whether the Tokugawa shogunate succeeded or failed, no one would dare to touch the Ming embassy.
The Ming Dynasty has just ended its war in Myanmar. The coalition forces organized by the Ming Dynasty subjugated Myanmar, and the king of Myanmar, Mangbai, became a prisoner of war of the Ming Dynasty.
Today's Ming Dynasty is a time of great national prestige.
Looking at the fate of Myanmar, which of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty could not be afraid?
Who dares not to take Ming Dynasty seriously?
Aren’t you afraid that you will become the next Myanmar?
The embassy is the face of the Ming Dynasty in the vassal state. Scandium
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anyone who dares to storm the embassy will be slapping Ming Dynasty in the face.
The Ming Dynasty, which had just conquered Burma with great dignity and demonstrated its national prestige and absolute rule over the world, would never tolerate being slapped in the face.
When the time comes, you won’t know the consequences!
The concubine nodded and continued speaking softly.
"Master, go to bed early, it's not good to stay up late!"
Chen Zhang gently patted his concubine's buttocks. Feeling the amazing touch, he spoke.
"You go to bed first, sir, I still have to wait for the specific results to come out!" Scandium
"Otherwise I won't be able to sleep!"
The success or failure of the Tokugawa shogunate was also related to the Ming Dynasty's policy towards Japan. As an ambassador, Chen Zhang naturally had to take it seriously.
The concubine turned around and returned to the bedroom and lay back on the bed.
Chen Zhang continued to stand on the balcony, looking at the situation in Edo Castle.
Seeing the chaos gradually spreading in Edo Castle and looking at the fire in the direction of the dock, Chen Zhang picked up the red wine glass again.
Then drink it all in one gulp!
He slowly exhaled a breath, and the expression on his face relaxed. Scandium
At this moment, there was a knock on Chen Zhang's bedroom door, and he turned around to open the door.
When he opened the door, he saw his secretary standing outside the door and said with a serious face.
"Sir, there are rebels attacking the embassy!"
When Chen Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but frowned.
"what's the situation?"
He felt like he was slapped in the face!
Just a moment ago, he thought that no one would dare to touch the Ming Dynasty's embassy, but the next moment, someone came to attack. Scandium
Fortunately, he only complained to himself, so he didn't lose face.
The secretary looked serious and shook his head.
"The specific situation has not yet been determined. The embassy garrison and the invading enemy are fighting, but the fighting is not intense."
"The embassy garrison is confident that the embassy will be absolutely safe!"
After hearing this, Chen Zhang's originally tense face relaxed a little.
But he still spoke.
"Send someone to ask the Tokugawa shogunate to send an extra group of guards to the embassy. If something happens to the embassy, the Tokugawa family cannot afford it." Scandium
Although from the current point of view, the embassy does not need to increase its troops.
However, Chen Zhang still asked the Tokugawa shogunate to send more troops to the embassy.
Not for anything else, just for face!
The secretary clasped his hands in agreement and left, preparing to send someone to deliver a message to the Tokugawa family.
…
At the same time, Tokugawa Ieki had led people to kill outside the Imperial Palace of the Emperor of Japan.
At this time, outside the imperial palace, it had already been surrounded by a group of rebels. Scandium
Countless people clamored for the emperor to stand up and depose the Tokugawa family from the ruling position.
"Return the power to the emperor, long live Japan!"
"Return power to the emperor, expel Akito, and abolish the human trade..."
"..."
A group of people gathered outside the Imperial Palace and shouted, and some were even preparing to break into the Imperial Palace and force the Emperor to express his stance.
In the Imperial Palace, the contemporary Emperor Reigen was listening to the commotion outside, but instead of being excited, his face was filled with fear and fear.
"Let the group of people outside disperse! Let them all leave!" Scandium
"The governance of the Tokugawa Shogunate is permitted by me and cannot be changed.
Emperor Reigen kept asking the people around him to pass on orders to disperse the group of rebels outside the imperial palace.
Because he knew that his so-called emperor was only illusory, and his status as the supreme ruler of Japan was only nominal.
I have no real power!
To put it bluntly, the reason why we are able to achieve our current glory and wealth is entirely due to the blessing and recognition of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Now these people outside are noisy and noisy, although it seems to be for his own good.
I want the shogunate to return power to the emperor! Scandium
But where can anything be so easy?
Now Emperor Reigen has no real power at all except in the name of an emperor, and he has no basis for ruling in the local area.
It is absolutely impossible to defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate!
These people outside are seeking death themselves and have gone too far. The Tokugawa shogunate will definitely hold them accountable.
By then, Emperor Reigen might be forced to abdicate voluntarily!
Well, that's right, even if things have reached this point, Emperor Reigen does not feel that his hereditary throne will be threatened.
He felt that the most he could do was to abdicate early and then his son ascend the throne early. Scandium
The power of inertia is terrible. Emperor Reigen has taken the emperor's rule over Japan as a matter of course.
It is completely unexpected that what the Tokugawa family wants to do now is to replace the emperor!
…
Outside the Imperial Palace, on a dark street.
Tokugawa Ieki was wearing armor, and behind him were groups of Tokugawa soldiers holding muskets.
These musketeers were elite troops formed by the Tokugawa family who hired instructors from the Ming Dynasty and purchased weapons.
Tokugawa Ieki suddenly swung his sword, and the katana in his hand made a sound of breaking through the air. Scandium
"Kill the enemy and suppress the rebellion!"
Tokugawa Ieki gave the order, and the Tokugawa family's musketeers lined up and moved forward.
They marched to the beat of drums, their footsteps were extremely neat, and their loaded muskets were aimed ahead.
The bayonet on the muzzle flashed with cold light!
The musketeers marched in formation, with black muzzles forming an array, full of murderous intent and a sense of oppression.
At the same time, the rioters making noise outside the imperial palace also noticed what was going on here.
One by one, the rebel soldiers turned their heads and saw a scene they would never forget. Scandium
The musketeers of the Tokugawa Shogunate appeared outside the Imperial Palace, with black holes pointing at them.
"Prepare for the first salvo, let go!"
With a burst of shouting, the musketeers of the Tokugawa Shogunate all pulled the triggers.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a neat sound of musketry, and the light of fire suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Countless projectiles were fired at the enemy in front of him!
The projectiles rolled and rotated. Driven by the kinetic energy of the gunpowder, they easily penetrated the enemy's body and sprayed blood on the human body. Scandium
The smell of blood permeated the air, mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and was quite pungent.
Bang! Bang!
The Tokugawa shogunate's musketeers fired row after row of volleys.
Countless projectiles swarmed towards the enemy in front of him.
Those rebels had little organization to begin with, and they all panicked after being beaten like this by the musketeers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A look of fear began to appear on everyone's face!
Some people even dropped their weapons and turned around to escape. Scandium
Most of these rebels were samurai who were loyal to the emperor. Although they were secretly encouraged by the Tokugawa shogunate this time, they had no training at all.
Perhaps these people's personal martial arts skills are good, but when it comes to grand battles, these people are far inferior to the musketeers specially trained by the Tokugawa family.
Just one round of volleys of guns was enough to make them unable to lift their heads!
…
Emperor Reigen also heard the sudden volley of gunshots outside the imperial palace.
People were stunned for a moment!
The whole person felt like an electric shock, his whole body was numb, and he stood still. Scandium
The next moment, Emperor Reigen's legs and feet went weak, and he slipped under the table and began to tremble.
Even the table started shaking due to his trembling.
"Help, escort!"
"Someone, come quickly, escort me!"
"..."
Emperor Reigen let out a shrill scream, and the maids, attendants and guards around him were a little at a loss.
Finally, the clever guards closed the door, then worked together to move some heavy furniture and blocked the door. Scandium
Prevent rioters from outside from rushing into the Imperial Palace and disturbing His Majesty the Emperor!
…
Boom! Boom!
This is a grenade going off.
Hand grenades were thrown into the chaos by the musketeers of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Then smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the shock wave carried the fragments and swept around.
The killing effect is extremely amazing! Scandium
That is to say, the streets here are too narrow. Otherwise, Tokugawa Ieki would not even mind bringing in a few cannons to kill the enemy.
In such a crowded street, the killing effect that cannons can exert will be extremely astonishing.
Especially those cannons that fire solid shells, with maximum lethality!
A single cannonball can easily pierce dozens of people in a dense crowd, causing great damage.
After the roar of grenade explosions, Tokugawa Ieki brandished his sword again and gave the order.
"Bayonet charge, defeat the enemy!"
Accompanied by a harsh copper whistle, a musketeer named Tokugawa held a musket with a bayonet and killed the rebels who were in a mess. Scandium
The cry of killing rang out, followed by the sound of a sharp knife piercing flesh...
As people continued to fall to the ground, blood filled the air and flowed everywhere.
The mutilated corpse fell to the ground, with internal organ fragments scattered everywhere. The warm blood dyed the stone pavement red, and the leather boots felt very slippery when stepped on it.
Some people even stepped on blood and accidentally slipped to the ground!
Looking at the scene like Shura hell around him, Oda Nobutaka's mentality completely collapsed.
Go to hell with all the talk about His Majesty the Emperor and the revival of Japan!
Oda Nobutaka has now figured out that nothing is as important as his own life. Scandium
Now his heart is full of regrets, regretting that he should not have been blinded by lard and joined in the fun to do something to return power to the emperor.
However, it was already too late for him to regret it now.
The streets outside the Imperial Palace were filled with screaming warriors and broken corpses.
Oda Nobutaka sat paralyzed on the ground, his crotch was so warm that he had been frightened to the point of peeing.
Suddenly, Oda Nobutaka's body trembled, because he seemed to have touched something while he was slumped on the ground.
It's slimy and quite disgusting!
When he turned around, what he saw was a skull that had been cut in half by shrapnel. Scandium
And the sticky thing he just reached out to touch was white and red tofu curd mixed together...
Oda Nobutaka completely collapsed and let out miserable screams at the top of his lungs.
"Ah~"
"Help!"
Chaos inevitably spreads!
The ragtag group quickly collapsed.
They turned and tried to escape. Scandium
However, what greeted them was not the so-called escape route, but a group of thousands of Tokugawa shogunate musketeers who surrounded and intercepted them.
Bang! Bang!
Bursts of musket fire sounded again.
After three neat rows of rounds of fire, those soldiers who wanted to escape were once again thrown down.
Many people were not dead for a while, covering their wounds and screaming in agony.
Emotions of despair and fear continued to spread.
If the sky had eyes, they would have been closed by now. Scandium
Because Tokugawa Ieki's order was, "Kill them all, leaving no one behind"!
While the massacre outside the Imperial Palace was going on, the Tokugawa shogunate's garrison outside Edo Castle also moved into the city and began to suppress the rebellion.
The rebels who set fires and made trouble everywhere, burned down the docks, and invaded the Ming embassy were wiped out one by one.
Order in Edo Castle is being restored little by little.
The Tokugawa shogunate seemed to be using countless bloodshed and killings to tell everyone that Japan belonged to the Tokugawa shogunate.
