Edo Traveler

The night in Yokohama was also panic. Although it was more than 30 kilometers away from Edo, the tremor spread to Yokohama, and there was still a sense of destruction.

The ministers of various countries who had been asleep got up one after another without even thinking about it, because the telegraph line was interrupted because of the terrible earthquake. As for the railway, I don’t know if it has been damaged. And this is still in the middle of the night, it is impossible to run more than 30 kilometers of road to Edo to investigate the reality.

It was the American Minister Harris Bachelor. Anyway, Yokohama was sheltered by the Miura Peninsula, and there was no possibility of a tsunami in Edo Bay. The steamboat drives faster, and it may be there in more than an hour or two hours. And there is no need to go ashore, just look at the nearshore situation and return.

The Dutch minister Borth Brook and the French minister Roche agreed, and Erkin felt that it was right to look at it first. So I chose a few bold sailors, drove a small steamer, and immediately rushed towards Edo.

In Yokohama's Kawaji Seongmo, Egawa Hideto, and Katsukaishu were very anxious. They suddenly heard that there was a stove in the port and headed for Edo in the dark. They knew that it was a foreigner who was moving. They also rushed to the customs building to look for the foreign ministers who were meeting.

After waiting anxiously all night, the small stove ran back, and the message was sent to you that Edo is now a **** on earth, the whole city is burning, and even corpses washed up to the sea along the Sumida River.

Not only was the Edo Castle destroyed, but the Shinagawa Fort, which was originally tightly guarded, was severely damaged, and even the artificially built Odaiba showed signs of collapse.

Anyway, the world is everywhere, but as for the situation in the city, I don't know yet. But on the surface, it can only be described with the word "horror", and other words appear pale and weak.

Everyone who heard the news also looked heavy. At this time, Yokohama’s loss was also reported. Because it was far from the epicenter, there was almost no loss of buildings in the city. As for the personnel, there were no deaths. Only people suffered minor injuries during the escape.

As the envoy of the British Empire, Erjin naturally became the "chief" of the countries, and immediately asked Chuanlu Shengmo what would the Shogunate do next?

But you ask Shengmo Chuanlu, he doesn't know what to do with Shengmo Chuanlu himself? It can only mean that they will immediately send people back to Edo to confirm the safety of the general Tokugawa Iamatsu and the old ministers of the Shogunate. As long as there are no accidents with these people, at least someone in Edo can preside over the overall situation and carry out disaster relief.

This sentence was justified. Emizu Egawa was too slow to walk, so he immediately ordered the navy to send a small steamer to Edo to get ashore to understand the situation in Edo and report back as soon as possible.

The sky was bright, or whether it was the whole Edo burning that made the sky light up, or it was really dawn, Shimaru and others were sent to Zojoji Temple. The family was completely reunited, and Chuemon's hanging heart was completely let go.

For today's plan, one is public security and the other is disaster relief!

Chuemon thought for a while, and he said that he should gather the men and women of the shogunate. Whether it was suppressing possible disturbances or fighting fires and disasters, the shogunate was the lifeblood of the shogunate and had to be mastered first.

The Tokugawa family thought it so, and immediately ordered Chungemon Chikatsu to protect the troops of the squadron. If there is something wrong with Qixuan Matsudaira, he will immediately replace the commander-in-chief of the squadron. If Matsudaira can be found, the two immediately begin to take over the entire city of Edo.

Distributed manpower to take care of important buildings such as Edo Main Castle, Ueno Kaneiji Temple, Shibizōjoji Temple, and Gosanjia Gosange Mansion, and at the same time evacuated the people of Edo, tried to fight the fire and restore order under Edo Castle.

After receiving the order, Chuemon immediately got up and rushed to the Denshi camp, only to see a collapse of the barracks. The soldiers of the mission team who were pulling through the ruins and rescuing their colleagues saw Chungemon, and they had the backbone. They called the team and formed the ranks. Some of the people and horses rescued people, and some of them started to control the streets gradually according to the arrangement.

When Chungemon was distressed by the more than forty soldiers who had been brought out from the front and back, Matsudaira Qixuan also rushed to the barracks with blood on his face. He fled the mansion in a panic at night and was accidentally smashed by the collapsed wall. Although the attendants beside him struggled to cover him, his head and face were hit by a roof tile, and the people on the spot fainted.

Later, he was rescued, and first went to Edo Castle to inquire about the whereabouts of Tokugawa's family. After learning that Tokugawa's family had fled, he rushed to the barracks, preparing to purge the army and take over the city defense.

Regardless of the injury on his head, after the two were combined, they just divided the troops. Chuemon has basic work experience and is very familiar with the ground in Edo. Leading some people and horses before the fire has burned all over the city, prepared to set up fire belts urgently. At the same time, extinguish the fire in the main castle of Edo and rescue the people in the castle.

On the other hand, Matsudaira Qixuan sent troops to guard Tokugawa Iamatsu, and at the same time rescued the people to flee, determined the safety of the shogunate's senior officials and the shogunate, and assisted everyone to quickly restore the central operation of the shogunate at Zojoji.

After the center of the shogunate was restored, it was possible to give orders to officials at all levels, as well as the vassals of the world, to carry out disaster relief. For example, a human brain is not good enough, no matter how healthy a vegetative person is, it is of no use.

After carrying the necessary weapons, the army quickly dispatched. Chungemon boarded the fire in the barracks, and saw the fire in the city from a distance. At this time, the area north of Edo Castle was extensively fired, and there were also many fires in the south of the city. More importantly, the road was damaged and blocked due to the impact of the earthquake, making it impossible to quickly fight the fire.

This is the end of my thought~www.readwn.com~Tadaemon simply gave up the idea of ​​saving all the towns in the south of the city, and told the army that it would be finished if the key facilities could be secured.

Save Edo Castle first!

At the bottom of Edo Castle, Chuemon also saw Ii Naobi who hurriedly arrived. The Hikone clan's residence collapsed, and Ii Naobi, who had fallen asleep at the time, was directly under the ruins. The retainers on the left and right were panicked, and after a whole night, they pulled the people out.

Fortunately, he had a big life. Although the house fell, the beam that was pressed down broke off in the air, which did not hurt him. Instead, it created a small safe space for him, so that he survived without incident.

After being rescued, Ii Naobi didn't care about himself, but ran to Edo Castle to find out about the situation of Tokugawa's family. After learning that the Tokugawa family was very good and was going to Zojoji, Ii Naobi didn't say much, and turned around and ran to Zojoji.

At this time, Nishimaru was still burning in Edo Castle, and more than half of the buildings had been burned down. The Honmaru did not catch fire, and Tianshu barely survived. But looking at that appearance, who knows whether the inside is still solid.

"Enter the city to fight the fire!"
