Chapter 743
"Down with the chaebol!"

"Eliminate the traitor!"

"God kills the thieves of the country!"

In the early morning of February 1936, 2, countless people flocked around the Japanese Imperial Palace, raising their right hands and shouting slogans hoarsely.

Dozens of young men with crew-cut hair and yellow clothes were the most active, mixing among the crowd to add fuel to the fire.

For example, the cabinet has ordered to suppress the rebellion, and all those who robbed the chaebol's property will die. The locust is just a puppet of some ambitious people.

Or maybe the wise Prince Yongren couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he deliberately returned to Tokyo from Hongsaki to fight against the evil reactionaries to the end.

In short, it is necessary to completely stink the locust, and let all the citizens know that it is a blessing for Japan to choose Yongren as the new locust, otherwise the country will be ruined.

Three people became tigers, and many people in the frenzied atmosphere couldn't think normally at all, subconsciously believing these carefully woven rumors.

Time passed slowly, the number of people gathered increased, the situation became more and more tense, and the parade was approaching the gate of the palace little by little.

Seeing this scene, the Guards Division and the Marine Corps, who were responsible for the security work outside the palace, were helpless and could only keep retreating.

shot?
Think more.

With so many people, so many old people and children, whoever shoots is a fool, and taking the blame is not unique to the Republic of China.

Especially the people in the navy, they don't understand why they want to protect the chaebol, after all, in terms of rebels, the navy has more red deer than the army.

Leaving aside, let’s just talk about the May [-]th incident a few years ago, when the coup d’état attacked the Prime Minister’s residence, the Metropolitan Police Department, and Minister of Internal Affairs Makino Nobuaki.

The Prime Minister Inukai Takeshi was killed, the sentence he left behind, let me explain, and the mob's words, hands on, became famous quotes.

Yes, it is the familiar prime minister's residence, Metropolitan Police Department and His Excellency Makino Nobuaki, so rebellion is a fine tradition of the Japanese navy.

It is conceivable what attitude these people have towards the people in the rally. It is considered strict military discipline if they did not turn their backs on the spot and rush into the palace.

The Navy is not working hard,
The Guards Division was also absent-minded.

With the appearance of a traitor, Nakahashi Kimaki, the future of the Guards Division is not optimistic. Maybe tomorrow they will be discharged with honor.

Lost the trust of the locust, without the status of a soldier, what will they live on, everyone's heart is heavy.

More importantly, someone brought a message that as long as the Guards Division abandons the dark and turns to the bright or remains neutral at the critical moment, there will be rich rewards in the future.

Specifically, all officers are promoted and appointed after entering the Army University for advanced studies, and soldiers can also receive considerable rewards.

Who made this promise? The answer is self-evident. The other party is calling for heroes from all over the world at the Sanwang Hotel not far away.

On the one hand, they wanted to abandon their old masters, and on the other hand, they were the future bosses who offered a generous price. Many guards officers and soldiers were moved.

It's not about betrayal,
It's just to avoid disadvantages.

The vacillation of the two teams immediately caused panic among the ruling faction, chaebols, and locusts. Who made them have no soldiers to use.

Now that Tokyo is in chaos, some communications and traffic are paralyzed, and the army loyal to the locusts outside the city cannot be mobilized on a large scale.

If things go on like this, it is hard to guarantee that unbearable things will not happen. Gangcun, the intelligence chief of the General Staff Headquarters who is in charge of countering the rebellion on the front line, is in a dilemma.

He has already seen the sinister intentions of the rebels. It is too risky to order the Guards Division and the Navy to forcibly counter the rebellion, and it is easy to lose people's hearts.

Using rioters as a shield is even more despicable and shameless. The First Fleet in Tokyo Bay has huge ship cannons but cannot fire them.

However, the situation cannot be allowed to worsen. If Yongren came to power, his best outcome would be to commit suicide and apologize, and there would be no way out.

"idiot!"

Gangcun's triangular eyes were full of fierce light. After thinking for a long time, he felt that he couldn't sit still like this, so he immediately went to see the locust and asked to encircle and suppress the rebels.

The chaos of beatings, smashing, burning, and looting continues to spread. If it is not dealt with decisively, even if the rebels are defeated, Tokyo's decades of development achievements will be lost.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. He is going to suggest to Tian Locust that the First Fleet will dispatch elite personnel to cover Tian Locust boarding the ship, and then put down the rebellion.

But after listening to his words, the locust sat on the high throne in silence for a long time, and finally asked a question slowly.

"You know that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty in China, who worked hard for more than ten years, was forced to die by Li Ni in Meishan, Beiping, which is sad and deplorable.

At that time, some ministers advised him to go south to Jinling in order to make a comeback and ensure that the foundation of the dynasty for hundreds of years would not be lost. Why didn't he leave? "

Without waiting for Gangcun to reply, Tian Locust said again in an erratic tone: "The Son of Heaven guards the country, this sentence is easy to say, but hard to do.

Then what is the community, the community is the hearts of the people in the world, the dignity of the royal family, if it loses the hearts and dignity, is it still called a country? "

"This minister is stupid."

Gangcun, who was kneeling on the ground, was speechless. Everyone has different identities and considers different things. It is difficult to answer this question.

A courtier has the difficulties of a courtier, and a king has the difficulties of a king. There are some things that a courtier can do, but a king who is rich in the world cannot do.

Seeing Gangcun thoughtful, Tian Locust knew that the other party understood, so he smiled and said his strategy to break the conspiracy against the rebels.

"Okay, let's put the matter of moving the car aside for now, you don't have to worry, the chaebol has already stated that it will immediately reduce the food supply in Tokyo.

They will hand over the extra food to the empire. Since the rebels can exchange wealth for hearts, we will use food.

There are several million people in the city, and food is the top priority. You go to inform the cabinet and let the police station distribute relief food from house to house in my name.

By the way, an Anmin notice was posted, asking everyone to stay at home and not go out until the martial law is lifted, and food supply will be stopped for those who violate it. "

"Hayi, Your Majesty is wise!"

Gangcun's spirit was lifted, and he secretly scolded himself for being stupid. The chaebol monopolized many industries related to people's livelihood, and they could be said to have all-hands-on-the-eyes.

With their assistance, the mob outside would naturally disperse if they had nothing to eat.

He would like to see how the rebels without shields will deal with the navy's cannon, and what tricks the mysterious black hand will come up with.

As for Prince Yongren, Tian Locust didn't say a word. If he didn't say anything, he didn't exist, and if he didn't exist, he could dispose of it at will.

With confidence in his heart, Gangcun retired respectfully and came to the gate of the palace, told his cronies a few words, and waited for the good show to begin.

The locust is on the move.

Yongren was not idle either.

Standing on the roof of Shanwang Hotel, Yongren looked at the crowd of people with great interest, and suddenly turned to ask Zuo Zhong who was accompanying him.

"Sir, the rebel army is spreading rumors according to your order, but the false emperor is very good at winning people's hearts, is this plan really feasible?
I think the response of the security forces is slack, why don't we directly attack the palace, control my brother, and realize the restoration of the empire.

The longer the time drags on, the more fully prepared the control faction troops in various places are. The Chinese often say that there are long nights and dreams, so I can't help feeling a little worried. "

The position he has coveted for many years is in front of him. He seems calm, but in fact he can't wait to kill the whole family of Showa Tianlocust immediately and take the bird position.

"Your Highness, please refrain from haste and impetuosity."

Zuo Zhongxin said that if the locust died, how could he play with himself, and immediately supported the fence on the roof with one hand, and made a pointing gesture with the other.

"In the past, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and within 17 years of his reign, he changed [-] chief ministers. The reason was all because of his eagerness for success.

If you can choose a good minister for long-term appointment, the former Ming Guozuo will last only a mere 270 years. This is a reminder from history.

If the security forces are slack, they don't know what to do. Although a strong attack can win some people to submit, it will also make others disgusted. "

This matter cannot be rushed, we must find a suitable time, and we can know the ups and downs by taking history as a mirror, and I hope His Highness Yongren will take precautions and be cautious. "

For the sake of the devil, Zuo Zhong really broke his heart this time, he was almost dry talking, he had never put so much effort into assisting Dai Chunfeng.

"Gu, I would like to follow the teacher's instruction."

Yong Ren's expression was serious, and he bowed deeply to Zuo Zhong in a polite manner. He still understood the principle that honest words are harmful to the ear and good for deeds.

What's more, all wise monarchs always have a loyal minister who dares to speak out, such as Wei Zheng in Tang Dynasty, and this is how Zhenguan flourished.

Today, this dialogue has been passed down to future generations. It may not be a good talk, but the premise is that they can successfully drive the false Emperor Showa from the throne.

He reminded himself that at this time, he had to calm down, with a minister like Mr. Okamoto, there was nothing to worry about.

Zuo Chong glanced at this guy, nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to somewhere in the crowd, and said something with a smile.

"Your Highness, the opportunity is here."

"Nani?"

Yongren didn't know why, so following his eyes, he saw seven or eight young people fighting with naval officers and soldiers in uniform.

The most surprising thing was that the professional soldiers who had the upper hand lost, and were beaten to the ground by young people in the blink of an eye.

"Baga, let me go, you damned untouchables, His Majesty Tian Locust should order you to be killed, and none of you will be left behind."

One of the naval lieutenants covered his left eye, cursed angrily, and unconsciously put his right hand on the Nambu pistol at his waist.

This person is from a wealthy family and has always looked down on the children of ordinary people, especially after applying for Eta Island and losing to a classmate from an ordinary family.

Ever since he received a secret order to come to Tokyo a few days ago, he has been counting on his success in saving the car to ascend to the top in one step, and he has long disliked the mob.

Now being slapped in the face openly, the murderous intent hidden in his heart could no longer be concealed, he pulled out his pistol and fired several shots at the people in front of him.

"Bang bang bang~"

The masterpiece of master Nanbu Kijiro, a miracle in the history of Japanese industry, this time the chain was not lost at last, and the bullet was fired smoothly.

But the head of the navy in the distance and Gangcun in the distance would rather have the gun broken. If the gun is fired at such a sensitive moment, the situation will definitely get out of control.

Sure enough, as the young man who was shot slowly fell into the arms of his companions, the people present were furious and rushed to the place where the incident happened.

Some people who fear the world will not be chaotic also took the opportunity to spread rumors. Their yellow clothes are particularly conspicuous, attracting many people to follow.

"The locusts are about to be wiped out!"

"The army is killing people!"

"The murderer is gone!"

Hearing the deafening cry, the navy lieutenant who was stunned in place was reminded by the sentence, ran away, and ran into the warning range.

The next moment, the naval soldiers standing in place were knocked down by the angry civilians. There was no way for them to survive, and they were immediately punished.

Beating people into flesh was not enough. After venting their anger, the mob headed towards the palace, but was blocked by various defensive weapons.

The barbed wire fence that was once famous in the trench warfare in the European War is full of barbs, and if you are caught by it, you will tear off a piece of flesh.

Seeing this, the yellow clothes brought planks and ladders from somewhere and put them on top of the barbed wire, and jumped over the blockade with their strength.

As soon as they landed, some of them separated to stop the army, and the other part moved away the obstacles and waved their arms to shout.

"Heavenly Punishment Country Bandit, give it a surprise attack!"
