The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 830 Japan's Trends (seeking Subscription and Monthly Pass)

As Japan completely opened its doors to Ming Dynasty, a large number of Ming merchants poured into Japan.

While they brought a large amount of various goods to Japan, they also drove Japan's economic development.

Although generally speaking, Japan is being harvested by Ming Dynasty, but in this process, Japan has also developed.

Especially Edo!
As the territory of the Tokugawa family, Edo is the real capital of Japan and one of its important ports for opening up to the outside world. It is needless to say how prosperous it is.

If many Ming businessmen want to come to Japan for trade, Edo is their first choice.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhuang Qiang looked at the coastline of Edo that was getting closer in the distance, his eyes were full of expectation.

Zhuang Qiang's business is selling sugar. While selling sugar, he is also involved in human trafficking and labor hire from Japan.

His family has a sugarcane plantation on Dayuan Island. From sugarcane planting to sugar production, the plantation basically has a complete set of industries and provides one-stop services.

Every time he came to Japan, he would bring a boat full of sugar to Edo for trading.

After selling the white sugar in Edo, the money from selling the white sugar was used to buy some Japanese women, or hire some Japanese laborers, and then return after replenishing the fleet.

It can be said that it is a lot of money to make a lot of money.

Whether it is sugar or human trade, they are all lucrative industries.

The reason why the Japanese women are bought is because, after these Japanese women are transported back to the Ming Dynasty, they will be sold to those bachelors who cannot marry wives as wives.

If it is just an employment relationship, then whether to marry or not depends on the Japanese woman's own wishes.

Daming still has some protection for the rights and interests of workers, even if the worker is a foreign worker.

As long as he is still a free person, his right to autonomy in life will be protected by the Law of the Ming Dynasty. (except for large farm implements)

Therefore, in order to save these troubles, Ming merchants like Zhuang Qiang always buy Japanese girls directly.

After buying them, he has the right to dispose and own the Japanese women, and he has the final say on how to arrange those Japanese women.

Da Ming Law can't control it either!

The reason why laborers are hired is not to buy slaves directly for use as laborers.

To put it bluntly, it was because slaves were property.

And workers are just workers!
If a slave gets sick, gets injured, or dies, it is a very serious loss of property for the master.

As long as the master is not stupid, it is impossible to really use the slave to death.

After all, you have to be careful when buying a big animal, let alone a person?
And what about labor?

You can hire with money, and you have nothing to do with your boss.

Since it was hired with money, it will naturally try its best to extract its surplus value.

To put it bluntly, it is used to death.

I won't feel bad at all!

Even if it is injured, disabled, or even dead, at most it will lose money.

And this money is definitely not as much as the money needed to buy a slave.

Therefore, labor should be hired instead of directly buying slaves.

Those capitalists in Daming are not good people.

Don't look at them in front of the imperial power, they all acted as good babies, they bought national debts and so on, and they also actively supported the policies of the imperial court, highlighting a well-behaved and sensible one.

But when it's time to grab benefits, they are all black-hearted maggots.

My conscience is greatly broken!
Zhuang Qiang's fleet docked at Edo Port, and he strode down the gangway.

A Japanese businessman wearing a samurai uniform and a Tsukidai head greeted him with a big stride, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Zhuang Sang, long time no see!"

Zhuang Qiang also responded with a smile.

"Yes, Takeda-kun, long time no see!"

"This time my boat is full of sugar and rubber products. I don't know if the slaves and labor arrangements on your side are in place."

There are a large number of rubber plantations on Dayuan Island. When Zhuang Qiang set off, he also bought some rubber labels and took them with him to test the water and see if he could sell them.

It is not something Zhuang Qiang, a foreigner, can handle such big business as population trade and labor introduction in Japan.

It is unavoidable to have the cooperation of local forces!

And this Japanese businessman surnamed Takeda is Zhuang Qiang's business partner in Japan.

Responsible for reselling the goods that Zhuang Qiang shipped to Japan, and acting as a bridge for Zhuang Qiang to buy slaves and hire labor.

In this business, both parties can be described as a win-win situation!

Zhuang Qiang and Wu Tian held each other's arms, and then, surrounded by a group of people, they walked towards the port.

When they passed by the business area on the port, they saw a group of Japanese samurai surrounded by the business area, and these Japanese samurai were marching and demonstrating.

"Expel the unscrupulous Ming merchants and end the evil human trade!"

A poorly dressed Japanese samurai stood in front of a group of people and let out a loud shout.

His voice fell, and the demonstrators shouted in unison.

"Expel the unscrupulous Ming merchants and end the evil human trade!"

"Expel the unscrupulous Ming merchants and end the evil human trade!"

"..."

A group of warriors were excited and kept shouting.

The leading samurai continued to shout.

"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, General Tokugawa steps down!"

Then everyone shouted.

"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, General Tokugawa steps down!"

"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, General Tokugawa steps down!"

"..."

As soon as the voice fell, the warrior continued to shout.

"Return to the emperor, long live Great Japan!"

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere of the demonstration crowd was completely ignited.

All of them blushed and let out a roar.

"Return to the emperor, long live Great Japan!"

"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, General Tokugawa steps down!"

"Expel Chinese businessmen, end human trade!"

"..."

The business area of ​​the entire pier was in chaos, with crowded heads and loud shouts everywhere.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Zhuang Qiang couldn't help frowning as he watched the chaos in the business district.

To do business with Japanese, Zhuang Qiang naturally knows some Japanese.

The slogans of those samurai demonstrations made him feel a little uneasy.

Those Japanese samurai marched and demonstrated to expel the unscrupulous Ming merchants and end the criminal human trade, and isn’t he the Chinese businessman engaged in human trade?

Precise positioning!
Seeing this scene, Wutian on the side seemed to understand Zhuang Qiang's worry, and said indifferently with a rather indifferent expression on his face.

"Don't worry, Zhuang Sang, these people are no good!"

"It's just a group of unknown samurai, let alone them, even if the people behind them come forward, it is impossible to threaten the good relationship between the shogunate and Ming Dynasty."

Now the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa shogunate is not just a nominal suzerain-vassal relationship.

There is a real relationship of interest between the two parties.

The Ming Dynasty needed the Tokugawa shogunate to maintain Japan's stable rule, so that it would be convenient for the Ming Dynasty to absorb blood from Japan to feed back its own industrial and commercial development.

And the Tokugawa shogunate also needed to purchase arms and weapons from Ming Dynasty to strengthen its own force and prevent the Northern Expedition of the Manchu and Qing forces on Shikoku Island.

There are actual interests related to the relationship, which cannot be changed by a group of warriors just making a few noises.

Not to mention that those who came out to demonstrate now are just a group of samurai ordered by the emperor.

Even if the emperor himself came forward, it would not change the current friendly relationship between the Tokugawa shogunate and Ming Dynasty.

As for how Takeda knew that these samurai who came out to demonstrate were ordered by the Emperor of Japan.

Hehe, can you tell by looking at their slogans?
Let the Tokugawa shogunate step down and return the emperor, look at the slogan, can a fool know who is behind these people, okay?

As Takeda had expected, just as the samurai were about to smash up the Daming store in the wharf commercial area, a group of Tokugawa soldiers who maintained law and order appeared.

The soldiers of the Tokugawa family charged into the crowd with muskets and samurai swords in their hands, and began to suppress the demonstrations, their actions were very rough.

Of course, when they dispersed the crowd, they only used wooden sticks, and the muskets and katana swords were just decorations, at most serving as a deterrent.

In the face of a group of people who were just demonstrating, these Tokugawa samurai would not kill people directly.

Under the rough actions of these soldiers, the crowd who were still demonstrating just now were dispersed, and the pier regained its calm.

However, many people can see the undercurrent surging hidden in the calm.

With a lot of thought, Zhuang Qiang called Wu Tian to find an izakaya to have a drink together.

Takeda smiled and agreed.

Japan's izakaya culture and geisha culture are very good.

As long as the white powder on the faces of those geishas and the black paint on their teeth are washed off, these small but docile Japanese geishas are quite interesting.

Zhuang Qiang and Wu Tian were drinking in the izakaya, and before they knew it, it was midnight, and they were going to sleep in the izakaya, so they decided to wait until tomorrow to inspect the goods and conduct transactions.

Zhuang Qiang was supported by two geisha and went to the room. Before leaving, he winked at Takeda for a while.

And now Takeda was also holding a geisha up and down, and the geisha's pretty face was flushed when he touched it.

Although it is said that geisha are nominally performing art but not selling themselves, but still the same sentence, you have to pay more.

As long as the money is enough, whether to sell or not is just a matter of words.

Seeing Zhuang Qiang winking, Wu Tian gave him the same look, and laughed loudly.

"Zhuang Sang, I want two at once, don't get stuck tomorrow morning!"

Zhuang Qiang waved his hand and said.

"Haha, I am so great!"

"Don't say two, I can bear two more."

The two men spoke yellow accents recklessly.

The relationship between men and men is also drawn in like this little by little.

Zhuang Qiang entered the house with two geishas in his arms, and then lay down under the service of the two.

After that, he didn't have to do anything, these two geisha would provide him with the most considerate service.

Well, for short, sit up and move yourself!
However, just as Zhuang Qiang closed his eyes and enjoyed the beauty's service, suddenly, there was an explosion outside.

Boom!Boom!
Amidst the roaring sound, a raging fire ignited in the dock area of ​​Edo, and the flames reflected half of the sky red.

Zhuang Qiang, who was still as big as a bucket just now, was frightened, and instantly softened.

Although he was a little drunk after drinking, he was not completely drunk to the point where he didn't know anything.

Well, a man who drinks to such an extent that he doesn't know anything can't get hard.

So, drinking and having sex are all excuses.

Zhuang Qiang endured his dizziness, climbed up from the tatami with the support of two geisha, came to the window, and looked outside.

Then, he saw flames bursting into the sky in the direction of the dock area.

And more importantly, the fire was still spreading towards him.

Zhuang Qiang's complexion changed, he hurriedly dressed and prepared to go out to hide, as if he remembered something, he stumbled and knocked on the door of Wutian's room.

Pulling Takeda, who was still shaking with his bare buttocks, off the geisha, he spoke.

"Don't fucking do it, go away, there's a fire outside, and it's burning towards this side!"

"If you don't leave, you will become a roast duck!"

Wu Tian was also a little dizzy from drinking, and was dragged out by Zhuang Qiang without putting on his pants.

When they left the izakaya and came to the street.

Then I saw chaos on the street, and a man and woman in disheveled clothes screamed and ran away.

There was a faint shout from the direction where the fire was burning.

"Return to the emperor, long live Great Japan!"

"The shogunate is weak and incompetent, General Tokugawa steps down!"

"Expel unscrupulous Chinese businessmen and end the evil human trade!"

"..."

Some Japanese samurai with samurai swords were tied with white cloths on their heads, shouting loudly while heading towards the General's Mansion and the Imperial Palace.

The riots are spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Seeing this scene, no matter how dull a person is, he should realize that something has happened!
This is someone planning a coup d'état, and the finger is directed at the Tokugawa shogunate.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Zhuang Qiang's forehead, and most of the original drunkenness quickly woke up.

"Zhuang Sang, what should we do!"

Takeda, who was still swearing during the day that those samurai demonstrators were not good, panicked now, and subconsciously asked Zhuang Qiang.

However, Zhuang Qiang, a foreigner, didn't know what to do, so he just spoke.

"Either go to the embassy to seek asylum. The embassy has Ming's garrison there, which should guarantee our safety."

"Either take advantage of the current chaos to board the ship, leave the pier, avoid the chaos, and wait until the dust settles before we go ashore..."

"..."

After thinking for a while, a group of people still ran towards the pier.

It's not that they don't trust the garrison of the embassy, ​​but because the pier is relatively close, and they can walk by boarding a boat.

After they boarded the ship, Takeda's drunkenness surged up again, and he vomited on the bulwarks.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Takeda shivered from the cold, and only then did he realize that he was not wearing pants.

Zhuang Qiang, who was also disheveled, instructed the sailors on board.

"Go get two clothes and make some ginger tea."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Qiang turned his gaze to Edo Castle.

Inside Edo Castle, flames were raging, and riots were spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

Tokugawa Iekei sat in the study.

He was wearing an iron kai weighing tens of kilograms, and in front of him was a samurai sword once used by Ieyasu Tokugawa.

In front of him, all the retainers and elders of the Tokugawa family gathered together.

Those generals who lead the army are also all in armor!
Tokugawa Iekei got up from the tatami, and drew out his samurai sword with a clang.

The snow-bright blade reflected the chilling light under the moonlight.

With a swish, the light of the knife flashed.

Under everyone's gaze, Tokugawa Ieyoshi cut off the corner of the table with a knife, and then spoke in a passionate voice.

"My lords, the rise and fall of my Tokugawa Clan is today!"

"If the matter is successful, I, the Tokugawa clan, will be the lord of Japan, and if the matter fails, we will all die without a place to die!"

"Also please do your best!"

"If today's major event fails, the general is willing to die in battle!"

"..."

After Tokugawa Jiaqing's words fell, everyone around clasped their fists in agreement.

"My lord general, please don't worry, I will not let you down!"

After speaking, Tokugawa Jiaqing began to arrange manpower to prepare for the counter-insurgency work.

It is not accurate to say that it is counter-insurgency work!
Because, the chaos in Edo Castle today, to put it bluntly, is the secret promotion of the Tokugawa family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a group of rootless samurai to revolt in Edo Castle, the headquarters of the Tokugawa family.

The reason why the Tokugawa family did this was, on the one hand, to have an excuse to attack the Emperor of Japan and let the Emperor go down.

On the other hand, it is also for fishing and law enforcement, and to clean up the forces in Edo Castle that are biased towards the emperor.

In order to ensure that after the emperor goes to the throne, the Tokugawa family will not face too fierce counterattacks.

And the most important thing for the Tokugawa family to do now is not to suppress the rebellion, but to take the opportunity to pull down the emperor after the rebellion.

Although Tokugawa Jiaqing knew that, judging from the comparison of strength, the Tokugawa family definitely defeated the emperor.

However, as the leader of Shintoism, the emperor has ruled for a long time, even if it is only in name, the influence on Japan is self-evident.

Now that they are going to attack the emperor of the Wanshi line, these retainers of the Tokugawa family will naturally have a lot of psychological pressure.

Tokugawa Jiaqing nodded vigorously, and then spoke.

"My lords, the rise and fall of my Tokugawa shogunate are all entrusted to your hands!"

After finishing his words, Tokugawa Jiaqing strode out of his study, holding a samurai sword, and led the team out of the general's mansion.

After defeating the rebels who invaded the General's Mansion, they quickly headed towards the Imperial Palace.

……

Chen Zhang stood on the balcony of the master bedroom on the second floor of the embassy, ​​looking at the chaos and flames in Edo Castle.

Wearing a silk pajamas and holding a glass of red wine in his hand, he looked relaxed and confident.

With the exchanges between the East and the West, not only is Daming spreading culture to the West, but Western culture has also begun to influence Daming.

This stuff is mutual!
Many dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty also fell in love with drinking red wine.

Chen Zhang is one of them.

He can taste the taste of red wine.

The fruity aroma exploded in his mouth, enjoying the slightly astringent but very layered taste, Chen Zhang slowly let out a foul breath.

I couldn't help but admire in my heart.

"Those Westerners are rough and ugly, but their red wine still tastes good."

Behind Chen Zhang, a Japanese concubine he had always loved stepped forward, gently hugged his waist, leaned his head on his back, and said in a soft voice.

"Master, what's going on outside? I'm afraid!"

Chen Zhang smiled slightly, put the red wine glass in his hand on the table on the balcony, turned around and touched the concubine's head, and said.

"It's okay, go to sleep at ease!"

"Tomorrow morning, it will be over!"

"It'll be fine!"

Chen Zhang liked this petite, weak and obedient Japanese concubine very much, and he was quite gentle when he spoke.

Facts have proved that there is no man who can refuse a little woman who is obedient to her demands and is extremely gentle.

The reason why Chen Zhang said this was not just to appease his concubine, but also because he had confidence in the actions of the Tokugawa shogunate this time.

He felt that there was a high probability that the Tokugawa shogunate would be able to accomplish this.

And more importantly, Chen Zhang has confidence in Daming.

Chen Zhang knew that no matter whether the Tokugawa shogunate succeeded or failed, no one would dare to move the embassy of Ming Dynasty.

The current Ming Dynasty has just ended its war in Myanmar. The coalition forces organized by the Ming Dynasty subjugated Myanmar, and the Burmese king Mangbai became a prisoner of war of the Ming Dynasty.

The current Ming Dynasty is at a time when the country's prestige is grand.

Looking at the fate of Myanmar, which of these vassal states of Ming Dynasty can not be afraid?
Who would dare not take Daming seriously?
Are you not afraid of becoming the next Myanmar?

And the embassy is the face of Daming in the vassal state.

Anyone who dared to attack the embassy would be slapping Daming in the face.

Daming, who had just finished beating Burma majestically and demonstrated his national prestige and absolute rule over the world, absolutely could not tolerate being slapped in the face.

When the time comes, the consequences will be obvious!

The concubine nodded and continued to speak softly.

"Master also go to bed earlier, it's not good to stay up late!"

Chen Zhang lightly patted the concubine's buttocks, feeling the amazing touch, he said.

"You go to bed first, master, I still have to wait for the specific results!"

"Otherwise I won't be able to sleep!"

The success or failure of the Tokugawa shogunate is also related to Ming Dynasty's policy towards Japan. As an ambassador, Chen Zhang naturally has to take it seriously.

The concubine turned back to the bedroom and lay back on the bed.

Chen Zhang continued to stand on the balcony, looking at the situation in Edo Castle.

Watching the chaos in Edo Castle gradually spread, and watching the fire in the direction of the pier, Chen Zhang picked up the red wine glass again.

Then drink it all in one gulp!
He let out a breath of foul air slowly, and the expression on his face relaxed.

At this moment, there was a knock on Chen Zhang's bedroom door, and he turned around to open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw his secretary standing outside the door, speaking with a serious face.

"My lord, there are rioters attacking the embassy!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhang couldn't help frowning instantly.

"what's the situation?"

He felt like he was being slapped in the face!
Just now he thought that no one would dare to touch Daming's embassy, ​​but in the next moment, someone came to attack.

Fortunately, he was only slandering himself, so he didn't lose face.

The secretary looked serious and shook his head.

"The specific situation has not yet been figured out. The embassy garrison and the invading enemy are fighting, but the fighting is not intense."

"The embassy garrison is confident that the embassy will be absolutely safe!"

When Chen Zhang heard this, his originally tense face relaxed a little.

But he still spoke.

"Send someone to ask the Tokugawa shogunate to send a group of guards to the embassy. If something happens to the embassy, ​​the Tokugawa family can't afford it."

Although from the current point of view, there is no need for the embassy to increase its troops.

However, Chen Zhang still asked the Tokugawa shogunate to increase troops to the embassy.

Not for anything else, just for face!
The secretary clasped his fists as promised and left, preparing to send someone to deliver a letter to the Tokugawa family.

……

At the same time, Tokugawa Jiaqing has led people to kill outside the imperial residence of the Japanese emperor.

At this time, the Imperial Palace was already surrounded by a group of rebels.

Countless people clamored for the emperor to stand up and abolish the ruling position of the Tokugawa family.

"Return to the emperor, long live Great Japan!"

"Return the emperor, expel the Ming people, abolish the human trade..."

"..."

A group of people gathered outside the Imperial Palace and shouted, and some people even prepared to forcibly break into the Imperial Palace to force the Emperor to express his opinion.

Inside the Imperial Palace, the current Emperor Lingyuan listened to the noise outside, but instead of being excited, his face was full of fear and fear.

"Let the group of people outside disperse! Let them all leave!"

"The governance of the Tokugawa Shogunate is my permission and cannot be changed.

Emperor Lingyuan kept ordering the people around him to send orders to disperse the group of rebels outside the imperial residence.

Because he knew that his so-called emperor was only a fiction, and his status as the supreme ruler of Japan was only in name.

I have no real power!
To put it bluntly, the reason for being able to have the current prosperity and wealth is entirely due to the blessing and recognition of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Now these people outside are clamoring and clamoring, although it seems to be for his own good.

I want the shogunate to return power to the emperor!

But where is such an easy thing?
Now he, Emperor Lingyuan, has no real power at all except in the name of an emperor, and there is no basis for ruling in the local area at all.

It is absolutely impossible to fight against the Tokugawa shogunate!

It's a joke that these people are courting their own death and making things go too far. At that time, the Tokugawa shogunate will definitely hold him accountable.

At that time, Emperor Lingyuan might be voluntarily abdicated!

Well, that's right, even if things have come to this point, Emperor Lingyuan doesn't feel that his family's hereditary throne will be threatened.

He felt that at most, he would abdicate early and his son ascend the throne early.

The power of inertia is terrifying, and Emperor Lingyuan has taken it for granted that the emperor ruled Japan.

It is completely unexpected that what the Tokugawa family wants to do now is to replace the emperor!
……

Outside the Imperial Palace, on a dark street.

Tokugawa Jiaqing was wearing armor, followed by groups of Tokugawa soldiers holding muskets.

These Musketeers are all elite troops formed by the Tokugawa family hiring instructors from Daming and purchasing weapons.

Tokugawa Ieyoshi swung his sword violently, and the samurai sword in his hand made a sound of breaking through the air.

"Kill the enemy, suppress the rebellion!"

At the order of Tokugawa Jiaqing, the musketeers of the Tokugawa family lined up.

They marched forward with drumbeats, their footsteps were extremely neat, and their loaded muskets were aimed ahead.

The bayonet on the muzzle gleamed coldly!

The musketeers marched forward in an array, and the muzzles of the black holes formed an array, full of murderous aura and full of oppression.

At the same time, those rioting soldiers who were clamoring outside the Imperial Palace also noticed the movement here.

The rebels turned their heads one by one, and then saw a scene they would never forget.

The Musketeers of the Tokugawa Shogunate appeared outside the Imperial Palace, pointing their black muzzles at them.

"Prepare for the first round of salvo, let it go!"

Accompanied by a burst of shouting, the musketeers of the Tokugawa shogunate all pulled the trigger.

Snapped!clap clap!clap clap clap!

A burst of neat gunfire sounded, and the flames suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Countless projectiles are shot towards the enemy in front of you!
The bullets rolled and rotated, and driven by the kinetic energy of the gunpowder, they easily pierced through the enemy's body and sprayed blood on the body.

In the air, the smell of blood filled the air, mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke, quite pungent.

Snapped!clap clap!

The musketeers of the Tokugawa shogunate fired volleys.

Countless projectiles densely covered the enemy in front of him.

Those rebels had no organization at all, so they panicked after being beaten up by the musketeers.

Frightened expressions began to appear on everyone's faces!

Some even dropped their weapons and turned around to run away.

Most of these rebels were warriors who were loyal to the emperor. Although they were assembled this time with the help of the Tokugawa shogunate, they had no training at all.

Perhaps these people's personal martial arts are good, but when it comes to battles, these people are far inferior to the musketeers specially trained by the Tokugawa family.

Just a round of volleys of guns is enough to make them unable to lift their heads!

……

Emperor Lingyuan also heard the sudden volley of gunfire outside the Imperial Palace.

In an instant, people were stunned!
The whole person felt like an electric shock, his whole body went numb, and he stood there dumbfounded.

In the next moment, Emperor Lingyuan's legs and feet softened, and he slipped under the table and began to tremble.

Even the table was shaken by the shivering him.

"Help, escort!"

"Come on, escort!"

"..."

Emperor Lingyuan let out a shrill cry, and the maids and guards around him were a little at a loss.

Finally, the clever guards closed the door, and then moved some heavy furniture together to block the door.

Prevent rioters from outside from rushing into the Imperial Palace and disturbing His Majesty the Emperor!
……

Boom!Boom!
This is the grenade going off.

A grenade was thrown into the rebellion by the musketeers of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Then the smoke and dust shot up into the sky, and the shock wave swept around with fragments.

The killing effect is extremely astonishing!

That is to say, the streets here are too narrow, otherwise, Tokugawa Jiaqing would not even mind pulling a few cannons over to kill the enemy.

In such a crowded street, the killing effect that cannons can exert will be extremely astonishing.

Especially those cannons that fire solid shells, the lethality is properly max!

It is estimated that a shell can easily penetrate a dozen people in a dense crowd, causing great damage.

After the roar of grenade explosions, Tokugawa Ieyoshi waved his knife again and gave the order.

"Bayonet charge, break the enemy!"

Accompanied by a harsh copper whistle, a musketeer from the Tokugawa family held a musket with a bayonet and charged at the chaotic rebels.

The sound of shouting and killing sounded, followed by the sound of sharp knives piercing into flesh...

As people continued to fall to the ground, blood filled the air and flowed everywhere.

The broken corpse fell on the ground, the internal organs were scattered everywhere, the warm blood stained the cobblestone road red, and the leather boots would feel very slippery when stepped on it.

Someone even stepped on blood and accidentally slipped to the ground!

Seeing the Shura hell-like scene around him, Oda Nobutaka's mentality completely collapsed.

What about His Majesty the Emperor, what about the revival of Japan, go to death!
Oda Nobutaka has figured it out now, nothing is as important as his own life.

Now his heart is full of remorse, regretting that he shouldn't have been deceived by lard, and came to join in the fun, and what he wants to do to return the emperor.

However, it was too late for him to regret it now.

The streets outside the Imperial Palace were filled with screaming warriors and broken corpses.

Oda Nobulong sat slumped on the ground, his crotch was warm, and he was already scared to pee.

Suddenly, Oda Nobutaka's body trembled, because he seemed to have touched something while sitting on the ground.

Sticky and pretty gross!
When he turned his head, what he saw was a skull that had been cut off in half by shrapnel.

And the sticky thing he just reached out to touch was white, red and mixed bean curd...

Oda Nobutaka collapsed completely, screaming miserably at the top of his throat.

"Ah~"

"Help!"

The inevitable spread of chaos!
A mob quickly crumbles.

They turned to run away.

However, what they greeted was not the so-called way of life, but a group of Tokugawa shogunate musketeers surrounded by a thousand people.

Snapped!clap clap!

The bursts of musket fire sounded again.

After three neat rows of bursts, those soldiers who wanted to escape fell down again.

Many people did not die for a while, clutching their wounds and letting out screams.

Feelings of despair and fear continued to spread.

If the heavens had eyes, they would have closed them by now.

Because, the order issued by Ieyoshi Tokugawa is, "Kill them all, leave no one behind"!
Just as the massacre outside the Imperial Palace was going on, the Tokugawa shogunate's garrison outside Edo City also entered the city and began to counter the rebellion.

Those rebels who set fire to riots, burned the pier, and invaded the Ming embassy were wiped out one by one.

The order in Edo Castle is gradually being restored.

The Tokugawa shogunate seems to be using countless bloodshed and killings to tell everyone that this Japan is the world of his Tokugawa shogunate.

The emperor is just a decoration!

But now, this decoration is also gone!
