Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1072 The lunatic forced out by the shogunate
The Zhili Fleet entered Edo Bay, and one by one the daimyos of the Western Kingdom came down from the Victory and saw this familiar city.When the shogunate ruled Japan, daimyo from all over the world would go to Edo Castle to meet the shogunate every year to avoid being attacked by the shogunate.

"Why did the castle tower become a ruin?" Tachibana Muneshige lived in Edo Castle for a period of time, and when he saw the once tall castle tower of Edo Castle, the symbol of the supreme power of the shogunate in ruins, he couldn't help but sigh. add.

"Huaxia will set fire to create chaos in Edo City to capture Edo City. This is the price." Zhang Yuan personally brought people to meet Nelson, Lu Xiangsheng, and Xiguo daimyo.

The daimyos of the Western Kingdom were stunned.The Huaxia Society seems to be very angry. They dared to set fire to Edo Castle, and they must have obtained the acquiescence of the Kyushu Army above, so they dared to act so boldly.

"The group of people cleaning up the ruins are all samurai from the original Edo city." Sun Xu said from the side.

The daimyos of the Western Kingdom were even more frightened. The Huaxia Society seemed to hate the samurai extremely. The samurai in the Kanto region seemed unlucky. Fortunately, the daimyos of the Western Kingdom were on the side of the Kyushu Army, so the Huaxia Society did not dare to touch their daimyos of the Western Kingdom.

Tanaka Chengyi, the president of the Huaxia Club, learned that the Xiguo daimyo who had won the victory on the front line had arrived, and came with a few key members.When he saw Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, Yamauchi Tadyoshi, Tachibana Soshige and other daimyos wearing samurai uniforms, disgust could not help showing in their eyes.

Because of his hatred for the samurai group, even though Saikuni Daimyo was in the same camp as him, he did not hide his disgust at all.

The reason why the Kyushu Army still reuses Western daimyo and red scarf warriors shows that people from the samurai class still control the resources of Japan, and even the foreign Kyushu Army has to make certain compromises with them in order not to cause a rebellion.

"Tanaka Chengyi has met all the adults." Tanaka Cheng said to a pair of people clasping their hands.

The original purpose of the Huaxia Association was to better learn Chinese culture, and later Tanaka Chengyi added his own Datong social thought.

"Seiichi Tanaka, you were the one who set fire to Edo Castle?" Tachibana Muneshige asked.

"It's right here! Edo Castle Honmaru is the base camp of samurai in the world, and it should be burned!" Tanaka Chengichi said sharply.

He is a ruthless man!The daimyos of the Western Kingdom were quite afraid of Tanaka Chengyi, and they regarded Tanaka Chengyi as a lunatic in their minds. At first, Tanaka Chengyi took the initiative to propose the establishment of the Eastern Province, and the fallen coalition forces later joined in this plan to change history from then on.

"It is said that this guy was cornered several times by the shogunate. His classmate was beaten to death by the son of the shogunate. He's getting crazy, he's an out-and-out lunatic..." Tachibana Tadamo whispered to his uncle Tachibana Somo.

"He hates the samurai so much. If he takes a high position in the new government in the future, won't it be affected along with us daimyos?" The daimyos of the Western Kingdom were afraid when they saw that their future collaborator was someone who hated their samurai group.

Tanaka Chengichi seemed to see some of the fear that Xiguo daimyo had towards him, so he smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone, the samurai working as laborers in Edo Castle are just atoning for their previous crimes. After the ruins of Edo Castle are cleaned up, I will naturally ask the members of the commune to release them all. Although the new government has not yet been established, it has already determined that the samurai system will be abolished. In the future, all peoples will be equal. Status. After the goal of the first stage of our Huaxia Society is achieved, since all peoples are equal and they are not warriors, our Huaxia Society will not continue to embarrass them."

The daimyos of the Western Kingdom heard that the Huaxia Association still has a stage goal, so they couldn't help asking curiously: "Then what is the goal of the Huaxia Association's second stage?"

Chengyi Tanaka opened the folding fan in his hand: "To realize the purpose of our Huaxia Society - to establish a Datong society in Dongying, a society with abundant material resources, selection of talents and abilities, trustworthiness and harmony, the highest ideal society mentioned by ancient Chinese Confucianism."

madman!The daimyos of the Western Kingdom thought to themselves.

Originally they had heard that the leader of the Huaxia Society, Tanaka Chengyi, was a lunatic who was driven mad by the shogunate. After meeting, they were even more convinced of this fact. Tanaka Chengyi was really a lunatic. Construct a Datong society in Confucian theory.

The reason why the daimyos of the Western Kingdom cooperate with the Kyushu Army is definitely not to build an illusory ideal society, but for their own interests.They lost their daimyo and samurai status, but they were still able to reap certain benefits from the new government.

Compared with their noble origins, Tanaka Chengichi, who was born in a poor peasant family, has more radical and fanatical thoughts. He has nothing worth defending, and he is simply going further and further on the road of stubbornly pursuing his own ideals.

This is a bit similar to Chu Yun, except that Chu Yun knows that the development stage of civilization cannot be achieved overnight. It needs to go through several stages of iteration. Compared with Tanaka Chengyi, he is more down-to-earth, starting from infrastructure and basic science to a more advanced civilization. Make bedding.

"Tanaka-kun is really... How do you say there is an idiom in Chinese? Yes, you have lofty aspirations." Although Yamauchi Tadashi and other daimyos from Western countries felt that Tanaka Chengichi was unrealistic, they considered that they would deal with this lunatic in the new government in the future. , on the surface, I still need to be polite.

Zhang Yuan stood up at this time to ease the atmosphere: "The latest telegram came from the capital, and the delegation of civil affairs officials from the Dongying Province is leading a delegation to Edo Castle. We gathered in Edo Castle to discuss the establishment of the Dongying Branch." Regarding the matter of the province, whether to establish the Dongying Province, and if it is decided to establish the Dongying Province, how to set up prefectures and counties. First of all, we will hold the Edo City Citizens’ Assembly to vote in public on whether to establish the Dongying Province. The establishment of the Eastern Province. At that time, the five parties will jointly participate in the conference."

Everyone present knew that the so-called Edo Citizens' Assembly was just a formality for the Kyushu Army to rule legally. In fact, the establishment of the Eastern Ocean Province had been drafted in advance before the Eastern Civil War ended, and it was only waiting to be implemented. .

"Kyushu Army, Huaxia Society, Xiguo Daimyo, Red Scarf Samurai, who else is there?" Shimadzu Mitsuhisa asked.

"There is also a shogunate group headed by Tadakatsu Sakai, who will represent the shogunate in this referendum," Zhang Yuan said.
