Vol 11 Chapter 88: Mutiny plan expanded

Remember [New] for a second,! "The salaries are far from enough!"

Soldiers are naturally going to be noisy. It was a good thing to say at the beginning. We left our country and risked our lives to fight the British, with double stipends and subsidies.

Sure enough, even if you send it all out, you may not be able to get it well!

If according to some scripts hundreds of years ago, Songping Qixuan should choose not to send the money at this time. I only said that there was no Mao, and then I picked a place called Chen Qiaoyi and told the soldiers that now everyone owes wages for a long time, and the court does not want to give money at all.

I have no savings myself, and now I have sold my daughter to a wealthy family in the city for 200,000 yuan. With this money, everyone can go back to their hometown to marry a daughter-in-law, or buy something for a small business.

Then some of the soldiers instigated, we are all willing to follow the commander!

So a person jumped out, pulled a yellow flag, wrapped it around Matsudaira Qixuan, and then surrounded Matsudaira Qixuan and entered Edo Castle. After winning the bird position, Big Brother Matsudaira will be the general, and we will observe.

It is a pity that this is in Japan, and it is the Edo period when the shogunate system has been running smoothly for more than 200 years. This set of things, unlike the Warring States period, can be played so easily.

Seeing the soldiers clamoring below, Hijikata Toshizo and Enomoto Wuyang immediately came forward to appease the troops, saying that in seven days, there would still be 100,000 people who could solve it, and they would continue to distribute them to everyone at that time.

And in order to let the soldiers settle down, they also said that it was Songping Qixuan's old face, and the British wanted to come. You have to be grateful for the kindness of the old chief, but stop making trouble.

These words made the soldiers quiet down, and all of them thought that the old elder still loved us. We were betrayed by the British, and the shogunate did not say to come and help us find two replacements. Only the old elder who loved us, Matsudaira Qixuan, talked about our life and death every day and paid us salaries.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but the resentment in his heart would not dissipate so easily.

"British people are rich and powerful, and India alone has paid 40 million yuan. How can they not be able to pay our hundreds of thousands of dollars." A non-commissioned officer was full of fire in his stomach.

Of the soldiers he brought out from the same village, 12 died and 5 died. If the pension can be paid in full, then he can bring the survivors back to the village to honor their ancestors. To appease the family members of the five or six children in the family, whose death is not a big deal, and then enjoy the awe-inspiring eyes of the villagers.

By the way, I married the youngest daughter of the village chief Zhuangwu’s family, who I had long been interested in. Although I didn’t grab much in India, I still got a piece of emerald, and I found a better teacher and made a gold hairpin. Inlaid with gemstones, you can propose marriage.

How do you say it now?

Soldiers were born and died in India. They did not grab too many spoils, and they still owed their wages. The dead ones didn't even see a hairy pension, and the special mother didn't have the face to go back to the village.

"It's really annoying, or I'll wait until I'm in Yokohama and detain Alcock, and I won't ask for it at will." Another non-commissioned officer suddenly had a different idea.

Before, their idea was to support Songping Qixuan to take charge of the shogunate and serve as the elder. Ii Naobi and others who deceived Shengcong were ousted, and then they assisted Matsudaira Qixuan as members of the House of Commons, with the army as their backing.

To reform the government and other things, let's not talk about it, you have to get everyone's hard-working money and the British back. Otherwise, if you go to India here, you will die in vain.

You have to do big things horizontally and vertically, so why not do it completely!

"Hey! First, we opened the Binhaiguan Silver Vault, swept the gold and silver, and distributed it to the soldiers of the various armies. It happened that Marquis Akashi was also there, and we, with Marquis Akashi as the leader, called on all the armies to return to Edo together, and the event would be completed at that time. "

The plan is further refined, bold, but clearly more likely to succeed. As long as the Binhai Customs is broken, the large amount of foreign exchange and gold stored in the customs will be obtained by them.

Originally, they could only gather and influence a few hundred soldiers. Now, if they can use Songping Qixuan as the leader and use money to get all the soldiers on board, the number of soldiers in the uprising will exceed 3,000.

Then control the railway station and the telegraph office, and cut off the traffic from east to west in Japan. Arrest a few train drivers, drive two trains, and in an hour, you can send the lightly loaded soldiers under the Japanese bridge.

Leaping out of Nihonbashi Terminal, he quickly captured Edo Castle, which was guarded by only a few hundred people, and brought Matsudaira Qixuan to meet Tokugawa Kasada in person. In the form of half persecution and half negotiation, the Tokugawa family was required to issue an imperial order to announce the reform of the shogunate.

Abolish the current incompetent Muge, establish Songping and proclaim him as the eldest son, hold a parliament, make a new internal affairs, talk about military affairs, and reform old malpractices. In the end, he controlled the training team of tens of thousands of heroes and kept the key points.

The British were at war with the Qing at this time, and they may not have the strength to devote themselves to the war against Japan. In the process of suppressing the uprising, the British army in India suffered heavy losses, and it would take at least a year or two to replenish their troops.

By that time, the shogunate's side was already fully equipped with guns and guns, and the battleships were like forests. As long as it is necessary to protect Edo and prevent it from being invaded, the new government can make the people neutral and the princes obey.

Shogunate ZTE is promising!

"It's just that Yokohama is also guarded by hundreds of British troops. In a hurry, it is possible to fight?" There were also some doubts. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Although they thought they were no worse than the British army, they couldn't get over the other soldiers until they broke through the coastal customs and got a lot of cash. With only a few hundred people in their hands, they have to attack the Binhaiguan Building, blow up the bank vault, and resist the possible counterattack of the British army.

"Not necessarily! The main force of the British army gathered in the small barracks near the embassy, ​​pulled up two cannons, and directly bombed him upside down. It is not an easy task."

At that time, you can take advantage of the chaos, go directly to the embassy, ​​and kidnap Alcock. Maybe with Alcock as a hostage, the military and police station in the residential area can be directly surrendered, and then the gate and silver vault of Binhai Customs can be deceived, saving more effort.

In short, if you want to do something big, you have to do it quickly, and you have to get everything done overnight. The next morning, the soldiers of the various armies could make a fortune, and everyone would share a few hundred taels, so that they could quickly encourage them to follow and attack Edo Castle.

"Hmm..." Several non-commissioned officers sitting together began to think about the feasibility of this plan.

In the end, when he was going to Edo to accept the inspection of Naobi Ii, the shogunate, he suddenly launched a military and changed for the better. Or is it better to start the army directly in Yokohama, kill the British first, and then quickly move to Edo?
