Edo, Imado-cho (north to Edo Castle), a certain mansion—
The fierce confrontation between the two armies produced horrors, the roar of anger, and the clanging sound of weapons colliding... The fierce confrontation between the two armies produced horrifying sounds.
The sounds penetrated the tiny world of Akasaka Mimen and spread to the surroundings, reaching the distance, even Keiki Ichihashi and others in Imado Town could vaguely hear them.
Gao Lao raised his eyelids, his eyes were deep, and his mouth was whispering:
"here we go……"
In a room deep in this mansion, a group of high-level officials from the "Yiqiao School" gathered here - Yiqiao Qingxi is also here.
I saw them sitting upright, and a bridge was in the first place. Gao Lao, short man, fat man, thin man and others sat on both sides.
One of them is counted as one, all of whom are fully armed, wearing treasure swords, sculpted with formations of sages, and wearing ancestral armor.
The battle is ready and the sword is tense... Such a scene and such an atmosphere are like the main formation of the army.
If you look up and look closely, you can find all the appearances of sentient beings in this room... No, correct it. In this array, you will find all kinds of sentient beings.
Some people have calm expressions, such as Gao Lao and a few others.
There are people with anxiety expressions, such as fat people and most people.
There are also people with complex expressions, such as Yiqiao Celebration.
Suddenly, the fat man sighed heavily:
"Ah... the seizure of power by force... finally got to this point..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the thin man's echoed:
“Is it really necessary for us to do this?”
As soon as the skinny man finished speaking, Gao Lao cut him coldly.
"At this point, don't say such stupid things! Do you think I don't want to use more secure means?"
Faced with Gao Lao's rebuke, the thin man lowered his head sadly and did not dare to say a word.
Give up literary attacks and assassinations, mobilize the army, seize power by force... There is no doubt that this is the ultimate means without any room for maneuver!
Gao Lao did not lie. If there was a choice, they really wanted to adopt more secure and safer methods.
Just like the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" back then, the impact will be minimized and the power seizure will be achieved at the lowest cost.
A while ago, they had been trying to assassinate Tokugawa Ishiki and Aoto.
To assassinate these two people, there are only two methods -
First, we sent skilled ninjas to cut their throats with short swords.
The second is to drug and kill poison.
The former is so difficult that it is almost impossible.
Although Qingdeng was seriously injured, Gao Lao and others still did not think that there were ninjas in this world who could be close to the king.
Regardless of the feasibility of "assassinating Qingdeng", "how to find Qingdeng" alone is enough to make them helpless.
In recent days, Qingdeng has been missing and has never been able to confirm its movements.
So far, the information received by Gao Lao and others include Edo Castle, the Filipino Reconnaissance Center, the Trial Hospital... and so on, etc.
In comparison, Tokugawa Ishimaki is much easier to find. He is definitely in the Edo Castle Honmaru and it is impossible for him to be in other places.
However... letting the ninja sneak into Edo Castle is also an impossible task.
Edo Castle is the master of Japan's creation technology. How could two or three ninjas easily sneak in?
There is no secret passage directly to Honmaru in the city, and there are not so many dark places for ninjas to hide.
If you want to go to Honmaru, you can only walk on the spacious avenue, cross moats, and pass through Mianomaru and Ninomaru...
As powerful as a boy from Shuitu, when facing this towering city blockade, he never thought of invisible in the dark, but attacked head-on.
To sum up, "inspending into Edo Castle" is impossible to achieve on the physical level!
The only feasible method is the latter, that is, drug poison and kill.
However...facts have proved that the Edo Shogunate was able to last for more than 260 years and become the longest-lived martial arts regime in Japanese history, which was indeed some means.
Regarding how to prevent poisoning, the shogunate designed a series of complete systems.
First of all, the daily diet of the shogunate nobles such as the general, the Imperial Office, and the Great Imperial Office were cooked by the Imperial Office.
The management of the Imperial Food Institute is extremely strict, and it is extremely difficult for people with idle people and unclear wealth backgrounds to get close to the Imperial Food Institute.
How does the Imperial Food Institute make food and how does it deliver food... All of the above have extremely complicated regulations. If you expand it in detail, you can write thousands of words.
Secondly, there were special people trying the food for the general and others.
After the meals are prepared by the Imperial Season, we have to let the sea try the poison first.
The specific number of people who are going to eat ranges from several to dozens of people.
They were responsible for the diet of Edo Castle and were also the drug tester for the diet of the general and others, commonly known as "Ghost Guard".
The drug test process pursued by the meal also has very cumbersome regulations.
After eating the meals of General and others, I waited for a while and confirmed that the meals were not poisonous, I would officially hand over the meals to the meals of General and others.
For this reason, the general and others could only eat cold food every day and hardly had hot food.
Although he paid the price of "eating cold dishes every meal", he successfully minimized the possibility of "poisoning death"!
At first glance, "drug poison" seems to be equally unfeasible.
However, Gao Lao and others didn't think so.
They believe that at the moment, there is a complete chance to poison Tokugawa Ishiki!
There is no reason, they are betting - after a fierce war, the order in Edo Castle has not yet returned to normal operation!
The previous battle caused Edo Castle to stop, and many officials who went to take refuge had not returned yet.
In this chaos, maybe there is an opportunity to take advantage of it!
In order to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Gao Lao and others mobilized all the spies lurking in Edo Castle and ordered them to give medicine to Tokugawa Ishimaki's food at all costs!
They have a very accurate grasp of opportunities, but... they have underestimated the skills of Tianzhangyuan.
Based on their current information, Aoden and others transferred Tokugawa Ieshiro to Oao.
And Dao is the territory of Tianzhangyuan.
The main responsibility of the Dayutai Institute is to assist the general in managing the Dayu.
After years of hard work, Tianzhangyuan has already built the Great Ao as an iron barrel, and it is extremely difficult for foreign forces to penetrate it.
Previously, the "Yiqiao Sect" did not try to plant spies in the past.
What if the women in the Great Ao have really hated the "Yiqiao Sect".
The soul of the "Ichihashi Sect", the biological father of Keiki Ichihashi, and the former lord of the Mito family, Tokugawa Shiaki, once advocated reducing the funds for Osamu and offended the Osamu women.
After some operation by Tianzhangyuan, the "Yiqiao Sect" has no room for intervention in the Great Ao.
The previous war really caused Edo Castle to suffer a heavy blow, like a downtown area that was neglected to control, with noisy and messy scenes everywhere.
People who are unwilling to work take the opportunity to catch fish.
People who are willing to do things don’t know what to do.
Tenzhangyuan knew that it would be impossible to revive the order of Edo Castle in a short period of time.
Therefore, she prioritized the two most important departments, Dao and Imperial Institute.
As long as you take care of these two places, Tokugawa Ishiki will be in danger of being alive!
With her extraordinary skills, she restored the stable environment she responded to within one day and greatly improved her vigilance!
No matter how hard the spies of the "Ichibashi" work hard, they cannot get close to Tokugawa Ishimaki's meals.
At this point, there is no way to talk about the plan to kill Kirikura Aoto and Tokugawa Ishiki through safe and low-key means.
In this case, there is only one last move left - launch a military coup! Use sword and fire to seize power!
This move is undoubtedly a long and defiant move, but as long as you walk through this thorny road, the road ahead is the smooth road!
Tokugawa Ishishi was in a coma, Kirito Toru was seriously injured, and both of them were in Edo now, which was the time.
The Akasaka Mimen became a ruin, and there were huge loopholes in the "Thirty-Six Sees" and this is a good place.
The two sides do not have obvious differences in combat power, so this is the harmony of people.
With the right time, place, and people, how can we not give it a try?
So, Gao Lao and others made suggestions to Yiqiao Qingxi, asking him to raise an army and raise the flag of righteousness!
In any military coup, the first thing to do before the rebellion is to seize the political commanding heights.
An impeccable political commanding heights, better than a million lions.
Therefore, even if it is a forced creation, it is necessary to create a reasonable reason for sending troops that can convince the public.
After careful discussion, Gao Lao and others finally finalized the banner of "determination of the Orange Rebellion".
Tokugawa Ishishi was already dead, and Konomiyaki tried to usurp the rebellion, so he lied to the outside world that Tokugawa Ishishi was still alive, using this as a cover to quietly prepare for the seizure of power, so that the new selection group could control the "Thirty-Six Sees" was not to be argued
Evidence. In order to eliminate traitors, reshape the rules of the shogunate, and restore the world's bright world, Ichihashi personally led a large army to conquer Juiceng - this is the "coup script" carefully designed by Gao Lao and others.
At the beginning, Keihashi Ichihashi was very hesitant and could not make up his mind.
Gao Lao and others repeatedly persuaded him, and a few people even burst into tears... It was not until after a long time that he finally gave a definite reply.
"...Okay, since that's the case, please let me prepare for death with me!" - At that time, Yiqiao said so strongly.
In recent years, whether Tokugawa Ieshima won the position of general or Ichihashi Keiki was forced to retire, the core members of the "Ichihashi Sect" have not been discouraged!
Under the leadership of Yiqiao Qingxi, the "Yiqiao School" has been accumulating strength! There has been no slackness for a day!
They followed the Sima family during the Three Kingdoms period and secretly cultivated loyal and brave dead soldiers, scattered on earth.
If you want to seize power by force, it is not the difficulty of "how to attack Edo Castle" or "how to search for Tokugawa Ishiki in Edo Castle", these are all trivial matters.
The real difficulty is how to summon the dead soldiers under the nose of the "Nanji School"!
If the "Nanji faction" knows that they are recruiting combat power, they will lose the opportunity and be controlled everywhere.
Regarding how to get rid of the "Nanji School", Keiki Ichihashi and others came up with a wonderful method: to use the current "Edo Grand Reconstruction"!
At present, Edo is full of construction sites, and countless young and strong people come from other places just to ask for a job with a gratifying salary in Edo.
Ichihashi Keiki and others asked the dead soldiers to disguise themselves as workers, so that they could avoid the surveillance of the "Nanji Sect" and naturally allowed the dead soldiers to enter Edo.
Then, let the clever confidants dress up as nightingales, peddlers and pawns, acting as "message microphones".
These professions have the same commonality, that is, even if you walk swagger on the street, it will not arouse suspicion.
In this way, through a series of exquisite arrangements, Ichihashi and others successfully gathered the largest force they could summon - two thousand dead soldiers!
The number of people is not large, but it can be used to attack Edo Castle, which has few defensive troops, but it is enough!
In addition, they have a last resort.
While secretly recruiting dead soldiers, Keiki Ichihashi sent orders to Fukui, Mito and other vassal states, demanding that they mobilize their troops and come to Edo to participate in the war!
The Fukui clan, the Mito clan... these vassal states are all die-hard allies of the "Ikabashi faction".
Ichihashi Kaixi was sure that after receiving his secret order, these vassal states would definitely respond to their call.
According to the original plan, Ichihashi Keiki and others wanted to wait for a while before the reinforcements from Fukui and Mito and other vassal states were on the way before they officially launched a coup.
However, just yesterday, they received an uneasy piece of information: There was something wrong with the Qinjin vassal in the Gyeonggi!
Kondo Yu, who is currently in charge of the Qinjin family, seems to be gathering troops!
Not only that, the Aizu family in the northeast is no longer as calm as before.
What does this mean? It goes without saying that the "Nanji Sect" is also gathering a large army!
Although I was mentally prepared, after hearing this series of bad news, Ichihashi and others were still worried.
Is it their reinforcements to arrive first, or the newly selected group, the strong soldiers of the Aijin army will arrive first... Ichihashi Keiki and others dare not bet.
At this stage, judging from the book data, the "Yiqiao Sect" with 2,000 dead soldiers has a certain advantage.
If you start fighting immediately, you may be able to take the initiative.
Therefore, they can only change their plans - launch a coup in advance! On January 1 of the New Year, they will fight to the death with the "Nanji faction"... and the Kiritokura!
Keiki Ichihashi and others have done their best to do everything they can.
The rest... can only be left to fate!
At this time, Gao Lao suddenly noticed the strange color on Yiqiao Qingxi's face.
He glanced at the other party deeply, and then said quietly:
"Sir Yiqiao, no turning back the arrow after you kick the bow..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yiqiao Qingxi interrupted with a indifferent tone of no sorrow or joy:
"I see."
After saying that, he stopped, closed his eyes halfway, and took a deep breath.
And his deep voice hovered in the room:
"At present, there is no way out. Either victory or death!"
...
...
Edo Castle, Mianomaru—
"Master! Madam!"
Shimada, covered in anaconda, rushed into Aoden's room in a hurry.
"The rebels are attacking! We are fighting with the enemy at Akasaka Mimen!"
Qingdeng nodded gently:
"Yeah, I heard it."
He said, turning his head to look in the direction of Akasaka Mimon.
"Is there any movement in other imperial gates?"
"Not yet!"
“…Shida-kun, follow me.”
He said, grabbing Vairocana on his legs and stood up.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Akasaka Mimen."
"Lord, no! Mr. Bei specially instructed you that you can't fight in your current state! Once the wound is cracked, even if Hua Tuo is born again, he will not be able to save him!"
"I know. I just approached the front line to supervise the battle, and I don't plan to go into battle myself, so I don't have to be nervous."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed past the other person like the wind and came to the corridor in the blink of an eye.
"Master! Wait for me!"
Shimada Kui raised his two skulls anxiously and hurriedly chased Aoden's back.
...
...
Akasaka Mimen—
Harada Zuosuke held up the spear in his palm and shouted loudly:
"'Standing on the ground to fight' is no different from'riding on horseback'! What? You don't know how to swing your sword after getting off the horse? Bear Akasaka Mi Gate! Never let a thief miss it! Look good!
Now! You have to treat the enemy like this-"
He dragged the last syllable - the next moment, he flashed into the enemy group, swinging the spear in his palm with great care!
But he saw the tip of his spear turning into silver light, stabbing every enemy soldier around him.
In the blink of an eye, all the enemy soldiers where his spear reached fell!
