Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Bechuchi was a small commercial city that had risen up from the Warring States Period. It was originally meant to divide the land between the fields and the small roads, but in Japan, it had gradually evolved into a gathering place for the common people and artisans.

In the history of Japan, the concept of hierarchy was very prominent. The Celestial Emperor lived in the imperial palaces of the capital and Nai Liang, while the ministers of the Public official resided in this place.

The residential city of Japan was actually a castle of Europe, built for the military from the very beginning. There were too many sporadic wars in Japan, and if the generals, their wives and children did not live in the city, who knows when they would be annihilated by the enemy.

That was why the city that the Japanese was referring to, was a castle, not a city that the Chinese were referring to. The city in which the people live is known as Machi in Japan.

Relying on the protection of the famous city, a lot of people would gather under the city. In peacetime, they would produce a living in the city, and once there was a war, they could quickly escape into the city to escape the flames of war.

There were many mountains in the Japan, and most of the residential cities were built on the mountains with the help of the terrain. Naturally, the land that was attached to the Gucheng was built on the slopes and plains below the city, so most of the land was called the Underhill.

Of course, there were exceptions, which were the famous Bechuchi s of the Battle Country of Japan. This pure commercial town was very different from the normal ones.

However, there was still a distance of 40 kilometers between them. It was impossible to control the Bechuchi at all from such a distance. Of course there was no need to control it, the purpose of the Bechuchi was to gain control of the name, what they wanted was the freedom of the merchants.

In the Warring States Period, the merchants there controlled almost all of the firearms trading in Japan, and it was also the most prosperous foreign trade port in the Beijing area.

The merchants with huge amounts of wealth and control over the source of Gun began to seek independence. They benefited from different names, and not only did they earn a lot of money, they also obtained a lot of political rights, such as their own armies, and the promises of not attacking different names. Gradually, the Bechuchi began to have the feeling of an independent financial center.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the Switzerland of the Warring States Period. Furthermore, the military equipment raised by the Bechuchi's financial resources were excellent, even with his reputation, he did not dare to humiliate these merchants.

The glory of the Bechuchi began with the war and gradually disappeared with it. When the Tsurukawa's Palace unified the entire Japan, the arms trade immediately decreased, and the merchants of the Bechuchi no longer had the good days of working hard to earn money.

Adding on the fact that the political and economic center had been transferred to River Household, the Bechuchi began to decline for more than 200 years. After that, the Bechuchi began to slowly merge with the urban areas of the Osaka.

Today, the people of Bechuchi did not expect that dozens of merchant ships would come to the sea during the war. Looking at the heavy food line, everyone knew that a big sale was coming.

The excited merchants and stevedores all gathered at the dock in an attempt to snatch more business. The shop assistant loudly introduced his firm's reputation and wealth, bragging that they could also sell goods worth one million silver coins.

Originally, it was not easy to find work for the workers in Bechuchi, but now, there were countless Osaka refugees who came to snatch business during this period of time. Before the two groups of people could say anything, they had already raised their fists, causing the entire pier to be in chaos.

The people who were leaning against the shore were pushed down with a crackling sound. The sound of cursing never stopped. The crying sounds of women and children shook the sky.

Right at the moment of chaos, the leading merchant ship went up to the dock, and before they could steadily put down the pedals, a group of warriors carrying flags suddenly appeared on the deck. They jumped onto the deck, and without saying a word, Bechuchi rushed forward to kill them.

"Big Brother Duck …" Control All Channels... Whoever blocks my way will die! " The blade flashed, and a huge head fell into the sea. The blood spurted out from the head of the arrow about three feet high.

"He killed someone …" The crowd crumbled, and it was only then that they knew that what awaited them was not the sale, but the killing devil.

"Make way, make way …" Don't kill anyone who gets in your way... "" No, We are the general's warriors, not the sea cuttlefish's … Kneel on the ground and avoid death! "

More and more merchant ships got on the bridge, and more and more warriors jumped off. Following them were teams of Japanese soldiers carrying the latest Remington rifle who neatly walked off the pedals.

The eyes of the merchants in Bechuchi lit up. From the time their ancestors were here, they had started to sell weapons, and their sensitivity towards guns surpassed that of ordinary people.

"Good boy, are you rushing towards the Osaka? Such a good spear of fire … "This, this, this is definitely the general's trump card!"

"Don't resist, don't flee. As long as we obediently stay, there will be no danger. Kneel down, and quickly …"

The merchants had some prestige in the Bechuchi. Very soon, the crowd calmed down, and the warriors stopped killing.

Especially when the refugees from Osaka who had just escaped from a war were at their most cautious and prudent, when they saw that an army had arrived, they scattered and ran in different directions towards the paths in the Bechuchi.

How could the army let them leak the secret? As the kill order was given on the flagship, the group of warriors madly chased after them.

"Whoever escapes from Bechuchi's trench, kill without mercy!"

The warriors rushed out with their helmets on, trying to kill the civilians who were running away. However, the warriors in armor could not outrun the commoners in civilian clothes, or even just their crotch pants! Quite a number of civilians had already left the army's line of sight.

By this time, the rifle squad had just reached the shore. Even if they chased after them, it would be too late. At the most chaotic moment, the commander in chief of the Japanese army appeared.

At the bow of a merchant boat, Huizinfan Lord Matsudaira Katamori appeared. A thirty year old Matsudaira Katamori was in his prime, he sneered as he looked at the commoners who were trying to escape, and suddenly shouted, "Where is the young team of Songcheng? Kill all the commoners who do not listen to orders! "

Before he finished speaking, over a hundred warriors in plain clothes rushed out from the new army at the dock. Their average age was only 17 or 18 years old, these young faces were the pride of the Huizinfan.

In the true history of the Wanchen Battle, these youths had once battled against the Curtainfall Army. The youngest among them was actually only 12 years old. In that real war, none of the teenagers surrendered and ran away. All of them died.

This was the pride of the Huizinfan, and also the reason why Matsudaira Katamori gained the most trust of the Tokugawa.

Historically, the strongest resistance the Tokugawa had during the Wanchen War had brought the biggest casualties to the Curtainfall Army. Under Matsudaira Katamori's lead, the entire Huizinfan was fighting to the very last person.

It was also because of this that the Huizinfan received the most severe punishment after the war. After the victory of the new government army, the Changzhou vassal declared the war dead members of the Huizinfan to be "thieves' gang" and did not allow them to be buried. During the entire Wanchen War, the humiliation of the dead body was the most cruel after the war. Some people were even imprisoned for a few days because they buried the dead. Half a year later, the burial of the dead was allowed because of the epidemic, and the burial of the remains was extremely extreme.

Due to the cruel way of handling this after the war, the grudges that the people of the region had against the Changzhou vassal had persisted for more than a hundred years. Even those who have entered the modern society of Fukushima Prefecture (renaming of the Huizinfan) are still brooding over the war.

After the end of the Wanchen War, when the military and other government departments recruited people, most of the people in Shankou County (Changzhou vassal) would be accepted. In the First World War, on the other hand, they were generally sent to the battlefield where the chances of survival were slim.

For the citizens of Jürgensen, the war reminded them not of the Second World War, but of the Wuten War. The people of Fukushima Prefecture basically did not communicate with the people of Shankou County and Deer Island County. People in the city of Jutong refused to stay in Yamaguchi County, or even the taxi drivers refused to take them.

In 1986, when the city of Hokkaido, the former Changzhou vassal City, thought that the war had been over for nearly 120 years, it was proposed to bring the two peoples to terms with each other.

What kind of hatred was this! To be able to form such a deep enmity with him showed how tragic the war was all those years ago.

With Matsudaira Katamori's order, the young soldiers who had their minds washed by the loyal monarch's thoughts rushed into the mountain forest. There were tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao in their left hands, big Katana in their right, and there were even costal deviation in their mouths.

They, who were lightly dressed, had long since gotten used to shuttling through the forest. Their speed was comparable to that of famous generals, and their agility was comparable to that of apes and monkeys. Soon, these children had surpassed those warriors who were bound by heavy armors, and were slowly approaching the people who were running in all directions.

"Kill!" With a loud shout, the tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao rolled and flew to the front, and with a single stab, it pierced the back of the heart.

The teenager did not hesitate and continued to rush forward. With a light pull of the long Katana, a foot-long wound appeared on the back of the fleeing person, to the point that his ribs were exposed.

This was a one-sided massacre. More than a hundred teenage soldiers were the first to make their move, overtaking all the other refugees. They blocked a few major traffic crossroads, flipped over, and continued with the massacre of the refugees.

At this time, the armored warriors who were chasing after them also arrived. The pincer attack from both sides only took them twenty minutes to finish the battle. All the civilians who were running away were beheaded.

"Honorable Minister Luo Shen, please see how my young army is able to handle this?" Matsudaira Katamori asked politely.

Luo Shen's back was covered in cold sweat. Seeing a group of seventeen or eighteen year old children calmly killing people, this feeling was really, really bad.
