Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 804 Seven Corpses (Ninth Update)
"Tanaka-san, we have already assassinated a general of the shogunate and four bannermen one after another. When will this dark assassination activity end?" some members of the Huaxia Society complained.

"Assassinating just one general will not deal a blow to the shogunate. We must assassinate more senior shogunate officials, so as to cause panic in the shogunate!" Tanaka Chengyi lay on the Taishi chair.

"The reason why we were able to successfully assassinate Itakura Shigemasa was because it was our first operation, and they had no defenses. But after that, their security became stricter, and each general traveled with at least a dozen In our own yard, there are more warriors. We have sacrificed more than [-] members to achieve the present results. Not every member is willing to be a dead warrior. If we continue to die, we must personally It's up." A core member said.

Tanaka Chengyi closed his eyes and thought.The assassination of the Huaxia Society has achieved certain results because they are in the dark and the shogunate is in the open.Now the shogunate is playing the same tricks with them, and the loose Huaxia Society is really no match for the shogunate.His only advantage lies in his own growth in the struggle.

"Stop meaningless assassinations, we can use more effective means. During the riots in Edo Castle, I understood a truth. To overthrow the shogunate, we don't need to rely on the army, as long as we have the hearts of the people in Edo Castle, we can do it." , Think about how easy it was for us to instigate the people at that time? It was almost a hundred responses! To make the people dissatisfied with the shogunate, if we find a breakthrough, we may be able to overthrow the shogunate overnight!" Tanaka Chengichi said excitedly.

"What you said is too ideal." The other core members shook their heads.

"Sometimes there is only a thin line between ideal and reality." Tanaka Chengyi got up from the teacher's chair, "I feel sick to my stomach, go to the toilet, you wait for me to come back."

After Tanaka Chengyi left, the remaining core members continued to discuss how to overthrow the shogunate, but every time they discussed it, they felt that there were many difficulties, and in the end they would pin their hopes on the Kyushu Army as foreign aid.

"We think the shogunate is too weak. After all, the shogunate has a standing army of tens of thousands, and a large number of daimyo, bannermen, and samurai work hard for them. If there is no Kyushu army to attack them, how can we rise to power by assassination?" some core Members have never been able to understand Tanaka Chengichi's thoughts.

Soon there were footsteps outside the door.

"This guy Tanaka came back quite quickly this time, Tanaka-san, I think we should go to Zheng..." Before a core member could finish speaking, his throat was cut.

……

"Let the people resent the shogunate, and at the same time find a way to win over the samurai of the shogunate, promising them a lot of benefits, so that the shogunate can be gradually disintegrated." Tanaka Chengyi came out of the toilet talking to himself.

When he returned to his residence, he found several Beiyang Fleet soldiers with muskets on their backs carrying the corpse out of his residence.

"What happened?" Tanaka Chengichi hurried over.

When he saw clearly that the corpse carried out by the soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet was the core member of the Huaxia Society who had talked with him just now, his face turned pale.

"Someone reported to the patrol room just now that there was the sound of broken porcelain and screams. We came immediately and found that all seven people in the room had been killed." The soldier of the Beiyang Fleet said, "Do you know these people?"

"Take... take me to see you... your chief...! Hurry up!" Tanaka Cheng could not help but feel horrified when he saw the blood on these corpses.

He can be sure that this is a killer sent by the shogunate, and he has gone deep into the Yokohama Concession!
"Who are you?" The soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet felt a little strange.

"I am...friend...friend of these people, take me to...see your chief...sir!" Tanaka Chengyi was frightened out of his wits, and seven of the core members were killed at once!If he didn't go to the toilet temporarily just now, maybe eight people fell on the ground!

Shi Daxuan, the adjutant of the Beiyang Fleet, stayed at Yokohama Port after Zheng Zhilong led the main force of the fleet to Edo Castle.

The bewildered Tanaka Chengyi was brought in front of Shi Daxuan by the soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet. When he saw him, he knelt down and hugged his military boots: "General...help me, save me!"

"Get up and talk!" Shi Daxuan knew this person, Tanaka Chengichi, the leader of the Huaxia Society that Zheng Zhilong had supported, and he had indeed caused a lot of trouble for the shogunate over the years.

It's just a person who leads the Huaxia Society, and he is in the relatively safe Yokohama Concession, how could he be frightened into such a bird.

"I...I...I..." Tanaka Chengyi wanted to speak, but found that he was stuttering and couldn't speak. He pointed his finger at his big tongue, and couldn't speak even more anxiously.

"General, a murder occurred in his house. We found seven dead bodies at the scene. This man claimed to be their friend, and he was the only one who survived." The soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet who brought Tanaka and his band explained to Shi Daxuan situation at the moment.

Seven corpses!Shi Daxuan finally understood why Tanaka Chengyi was frightened and stuttered. Anyone who found out that his seven companions were dead would probably be shocked on the spot.

If civilians were killed, then this case may be the largest case in the history of Yokohama Port!

But if the one who was killed was Tanaka Chengichi's companion, it was very likely to be a core member of the Huaxia Society, and then it was a killer sent by the shogunate.

"Tanaka Chengyi, calm down. Now that you are in the barracks of our Beiyang Fleet, it is impossible for the killer to come here again. Your life is no longer in danger, you know?" Shi Daxuan comforted Tanaka Chengyi first.

The trembling Tanaka nodded vigorously.

"Come here, mobilize half of the troops in the patrol room to search for the murderer in the concession, and the murderer must be brought to justice!" Shi Daxuan felt uncomfortable when he saw a shogunate killer appearing in the Yokohama concession.

Sure enough, the shogunate had a huge influence in Japan, and even the port of Yokohama, where the Beiyang Fleet was stationed, could get in with their people.

"Did you get it?" the grocery store owner asked Kazuko who had returned.

Kazuko shook his head.

"How is it possible that your shot will fail? Could it be that he was not in the room at the time?"

Kazuko nodded.

"Tanaka Chengichi is really lucky...but you can lurk in his room until he comes back and then assassinate him. Why did you come back empty-handed?" the grocery store owner said dissatisfied.

"I killed seven of them, and the police station has been alerted." Hezi finally spoke.
