Chapter 799 Edo Castle Riot (Fourth Update)

"Our Tokyo branch strongly condemns the illegal arrest of our citizens by your shogunate, and demands the immediate release of the arrested person and compensation for all losses suffered by the arrested person!"

"All the teachers and students of our Tokyo Academy demand that the shogunate immediately release the arrested Chinese, apologize to the entire Edo Castle residents, and clarify the innocence of the arrested people!"

"Our Kyushu newspaper office will soon print a special journal detailing this incident and sell it to residents of the city free of charge. I hope the shogunate can give us a satisfactory explanation."

Huang Zongxi and others met Matsudaira Nobutsuna who arrested Dayuer.

In addition to the Tokyo branch, the Tokyo school, and the Kyushu newspaper, Chinese businessmen and overseas Chinese in Edo City surrounded the mansion of Matsudaira Nobuzuna and demanded the release of Dayuer.

"We can release him, but you need to explain to us the identity of this pedestrian in your side, why are you so excited?" Seeing the representatives of the Kyushu Army gathered in Edo Castle, Matsudaira Nobuzuna felt more and more Da Yuer and the others are not simple.

"Rejected. The identity of our personnel has nothing to do with this matter. We are talking about the beating of Sakai Tadakichi. There are many residents in Edo Castle who can testify that it was Sakai Tadakichi who intended to rape our woman, but was stopped by our fellow men. However, the attempted crime is justified self-defense, and should be released without charge!" Huang Zongxi, the president of the Tokyo Academy, argued with reason.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira, Tadakatsu Sakai, Tadaaki Abe and others were stunned. What the hell are attempted crimes and self-defense... The only thing they could understand was that Huang Zongxi asked them to release Dayuer and others unconditionally.

"We still need time to investigate this case, please go back." Tadakatsu Sakai did not want to let Dayuer and others go easily.

Now that they are already in a stalemate because of this matter, at least they should use this opportunity to dig out some useful information from Da Yuer and the others.Moreover, a few people were arrested just now, and they were released in a blink of an eye. Where should the face of the shogunate go?
"If you don't release our people, we will never leave here!" said the president of the Tokyo branch.

Their Tokyo branch belongs to the household department, and Da Yuer and others are also colleagues of the household department. If the shogunate does something to Dayuer and others, it is estimated that the entire household department will explode.And Da Yuer still has the identity of a Mongolian tribe, and the prairie will explode.The supporter behind this plan is Chu Yun, the Kyushu Army will explode, and in short, it will cause very bad consequences.

"According to the usual practice, even if our shogunate arrests Dongying people, it is absolutely impossible to release them so soon. Please come back!" Matsudaira Nobutsuna summoned the samurai of the Red Army to forcibly drive Huang Zongxi and others away.

Like Tadakatsu Sakai, he wanted to draw out information that might threaten the rule of the shogunate!
"I want to warn you, absolutely, absolutely do not touch them, or Edo Castle will be razed to the ground!" cried anxiously.

Will Edo Castle be razed to the ground?Matsudaira Nobutsuna and others were warned by the governor, but became more curious.

"He seemed to have used two 'absolute' just now, overlapping words in Chinese to express a strong attitude. It seems that these few people must be very important to their Kyushu Army." Abe Zhongqiu said.

"Do you want to torture that woman and see how the Kyushu Army reacts?" Nobuzuna Matsudaira didn't know that he was playing with fire.

"I think it's better to forget it. Judging from the tone of the other party, razing Edo Castle to the ground doesn't look like a joke. Let's stop quietly. Detain them for a few days first, and wait for them to lose their composure. It will naturally reveal its flaws. As long as we don't use torture, they should not completely break with us." Said Tadakatsu Sakai.

"Second." Abe Tadaaki said.

"Then do it like this." Seeing that Tadakatsu Sakai had compromised under the pressure of the Kyushu Army, Nobuzuna Matsudaira could only reluctantly agree.

Tadakatsu Sakai didn't realize that his compromise preserved a historic city...

The day after the beating of Tadakishi Sakai, hundreds of copies of the special daily issue of "Kyushu Daily" were printed and circulated in Edo Castle!The above article strongly accused the samurai of the shogunate of harming the village, vividly described how Sakai Tadakichi bullied women on weekdays, and the ins and outs of the arrest of Da Yuer and others.In the end, in order to cover up the crimes of the samurai, the shogunate put several people who were originally defending themselves into prison!Behind this incident, there are also letters of complaint against him by several rural women who were once raped by Sakai Tadaki, and some anonymous people's comments on Sakai Tadaki!

The residents of Edo Castle saw the description in the special daily magazine, and they were outraged. They, under the leadership of the members of the Huaxia Society, marched outside the residences of the shogunate and important ministers, threw bricks, and expanded the Tadaki Sakai incident to punish all misbehaving and insulting samurai. The movement of the spiritual shogunate banner!
"Release the innocent, and bring down the Sakai family! Down with the Matsudaira family!" Some members of the Huaxia Society shouted among the crowd.

"Down with the Sakai family! Down with the Matsudaira family!" The angry crowd began to turn their main finger on Sakai Tadakatsu and Matsudaira Nobuzuna, two important figures in the shogunate!

Misbehaving samurai is too broad a concept, their rage needs a more specific outlet!

Thousands of residents of Edo City, instigated by the Huaxia Society, squeezed out of the samurai's siege, and stormed their mansions with bricks and torches.Once a samurai dares to stop them, he will be charged with "misbehavior" and "disgrace the spirit of the samurai" immediately!

"Set fire and purify their sins with flames!" Tanaka Cheng and his group rushed into Sakai Tadakatsu's mansion, throwing the torches in their hands into the room!
Behind him, the irascible citizens threw their torches.

The raging flames began to spread in the mansion of Sakai Tadakatsu, the important minister of the shogunate, and the billowing black smoke made people cry...

"This rice shop is the property of the Matsudaira family. They control the price of rice and cause the people to live in poverty. They really tarnish the spirit of the samurai. They should all be smashed!" The members of the Huaxia Society encouraged the residents of Edo City to pour into the rice shop and began to rob it frantically. of rice.

"And this cloth shop is the property of the Sakai family! Smash it, smash it all!"

The entire Edo Castle suddenly became out of control, and dissatisfaction with the samurai turned into turmoil in the whole city. No one may have imagined the consequences.Originally, the Kyushu newspaper asked Tanaka Chengichi's Huaxia Society to write for Dayuer and others to gain sympathy from the public, but Tanaka Chengyi was behind the scenes to fuel the flames, and even the Kyushu Army was very passive.

"Take the muskets, the people in Edo City are going crazy, don't let them attack our Tokyo branch." The branch manager of Kyushu Bank distributed the muskets to the employees.
