Edo Traveler

In the Shangjing and Xiajing districts, at the same time, sparks suddenly appeared. What is the reason, you don't have to guess to know why, but the rioters deliberately set fire to the capital in order to cause chaos.

In addition to the bombing, bombardment of the ban, and arson of the streets, the most critical part is the publicity that Matsudaira Qixuan has been killed, and the Fukui and Hagi domains are fighting against the ban, preparing to rob Emperor Xiaomei, and at the same time defeat the The news that the shogunate garrisoned in Kyoto was opposed to the east and west of the shogunate.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for all kinds of rumors to appear on the street. The means of spreading the rumors are extremely inferior. They directly send people to shout on the street, and then run away after shouting. Anyway, there are hundreds of thousands of people. If you are doing big things, there are not enough people at all. If you do something sideways, you will still be able to open your hands.

You can also set fires everywhere.

It was an explosion and a cannonball. The princes who gathered in the capital, as long as they were not deaf, would have known it by now. It was after four in the morning, the sky was shining, and many people were still asleep, or just got up and were stunned.

Tokugawa Keibao got up early. He was in charge of the defense of Kyoto, and he was not a fool. It was impossible for the two highest commanders of the shogunate in Kyoto to gather together. So when the retainer asked him if he needed to enter the palace with Songping Qixuan, he directly refused.

If something really happened, there would be no leader in the capital, and it would be bad!

Now the streets are in chaos, and some people who escaped passed by the Nijo Imperial Palace, and were immediately captured by the Jingzhong group Roshi for questioning by Tokugawa Keibao. If you don't ask, don't know, if you ask, you will be shocked, and you will say anything.

However, Matsudaira Qixuan was dead, Hagi Domain and Fukui Domain rebelled, and the matter of robbing the official family still spread to Tokugawa Keibao's ears. Because of the fire everywhere, the cries of the people and horses were incessant, and Tokugawa Keibao could not judge whether the Hagi domain and the Fukui domain were really rebelling.

Only the sound of explosions and shelling seemed to be certain, and many people could hear it clearly. A big event really happened in Kyoto, but to what extent it is still unknown.

what to do?

The retainers on the left and right were also panicked for a while. After all, such a big thing happened all of a sudden, and the soldiers of the Hagi Domain and Fukui Domain who were rumored to be rebelling were several times more than the soldiers of the Owari Domain, and all foreign guns were in hand. With such a person as Obari Fan, it may not be enough for others to drink a pot.

As for the soldiers of the training team stationed at the Nijo Imperial Palace together, it was even more chaotic. The infantrymen pursued the death of Songping Qi Xuan, who was one of their most beloved commanders.

Some people shouted to rush to Shangjing District to find Matsudaira Qixuan, some people advocated to fight the Hagi Domain and Fukui Domain immediately, and some people advocated to stick to the Nijo Imperial Palace...

Losing Songping Qi Xuan's order, the soldiers of the training team lost their balance for a while. Unless Chuyouemon or Jiangchuan Yingmin are here, these two participated in the establishment of the training team throughout the whole process, and they can still live in the situation. Others have no possibility of this. Not even Tokugawa Keiho.

But it's okay, Matsudaira Qixuan's order left before departure was to guard the Nijo Imperial Palace and guard the capital. At least there is still an order, and the soldiers of the training team still listen to Songping Qixuan to say hello.

After a little consideration, Tokugawa Keibao immediately ordered the soldiers of the Chuanxiu team to defend the Nijo Imperial Palace. With the combat effectiveness of the Chuanxi team and the fortifications, the two or three thousand people could not break the Nijo Imperial Palace. And he himself led the troops to the Erjo Imperial Palace, and the Emperor Xiaoming was not allowed to fail.

Although it is a mascot, but it has been a mascot for thousands of years, the size of this thing still has some appeal. If it was really robbed, it would be a disaster for the shogunate.

After making arrangements for a while, Tokugawa Keibao immediately led his troops to the inside of the Imperial Palace. He took away 2,000 soldiers from the Owari domain and 2,000 soldiers of the Jingzhong group, leaving only 100 people in the Nijo Imperial Palace. If necessary, you can communicate manually. This kind of familiar person sends a message, which is less prone to errors.

When the people on both sides of the Hagi Domain and Fukui Domain, who were on the left and right of Kyoto, were stunned, what happened? Is this the first move on the other side? Or is there something bad I don't know about?

Maori Yuantoku and Hashimoto Zuochi each summoned the left and right to discuss urgently. Like Tokugawa Keibao, they also heard all kinds of explosions, and they all came from Shangjing. There are various rumors outside, and some of them are true.

Now is not the future. In the future, satellite cameras, direct screen transmission, and everything can be seen at a glance. Once again, you can take a drone and drive directly to the scene to watch the situation and get a general idea.

Now it's all just guesswork, there's no other way. Therefore, in history, many rebellions, Qing monarchs, and powerful ministers were killed. These defeats were all lost because the information was unclear, and the person in charge was hesitant and did not dare to make a decision.

Hashimoto Zuochi knew that Hagi Domain was quite ambitious and arrogant. He would definitely do things like instigating others to attack and kill Matsudaira Qixuan. He was just attacking the palace and robbing Emperor Xiaoming. Can the Maori family do it?

And Mouri Yuande was also wondering if Fukui Fan felt that the driver had arrived, and deliberately assassinated Matsudaira Qixuan in order to drag the Maori family into the water. Then they attacked the palace, and took the emperor to make the princes.

Matsudaira's political ambitions are well known. He has always had an ambition to serve as the head of the shogunate, but it has always been suppressed and cannot be realized.

Now others have gone to Europe and the United States, but his confidants and samurai groups are still in Japan. These people are all promoted by him. Fukui Domain's old conservative samurai group had been suppressed by him for a long time. In fact, Fukui Domain was the young Zhuang faction in power.

This group of people did something out of the ordinary for their protagonist Matsudaira Qingyong~www.readwn.com~, I really can't say for sure. Anyway, if something went wrong, they just cut their belly. Songping Qingyong is abroad, is it possible that he can cross the ocean and command remotely?

It is done, and Songping Qingyong is in charge of the world. No, it has nothing to do with Songping Qingyong.

That being the case...

Can't let the Fukui domain's gang take the lead!

So Maori Yuande ordered that, in the name of guarding Jinzhong Neili, 500 people should be sent to Jinzhong to test. If the Fukui Domain really does it, then it is imperative that Emperor Takamei is moved to the Hagi Domain's residence first. If the Fukui Domain is going to attack the Nijo Imperial Palace, then take over the forbidden city defense, and don't act rashly for the time being.

And Hashimoto Zuochi gave an order that the Fukui domain should be divided into three groups, and one should go to the ban. But this team has the least number of people, only a dozen people, and it is hidden in the dark, and it is not released for the time being. If there is a real war in the ban, then the second main force of the Fukui clan's army of 3,000 people will set off immediately.

The last team was scattered into the city of Kyoto to understand the movement of the whole city of Kyoto. At the same time, he stayed at the residence of the Fukui clan, and once he succeeded or fought a major battle, he would return to the Fukui clan to bring reinforcements.
