My father-in-law thought about it repeatedly, even if the civil strife in the country was worse than the crusade against the shogunate, and his father-in-law would have to stay in Japan and continue to command the final attack on the Tokugawa shogunate.

The matter of a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, the father-in-law can't do it.

During the Chongzhen period, the Ming army had to deal with both the Liukou and the Manchurians, and the lesson of being forced to fight on two fronts was the goal.

All threats to the new Japan from the Tokugawa family had been effectively eliminated before the emperor's army could be transferred back to Japan to quell the rebellion.

Otherwise, the transfer of the Imperial Army back to the mainland now will inevitably lead to the loss of Japan's current excellent situation and the blood of thousands of martyrs will be shed in vain.

Preparations for the final attack on the Tokugawa shogunate, the battle to storm Edo, were being carried out by the General Staff Headquarters, and the army and navy were to be attacked together with the Imperial Allied Army.

According to the operational plan of the General Staff Headquarters, the First Army, Yan Siqi's Second Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army, the First Mixed Brigade of Shimazu Tadashi, and the Third Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army, which was established by the New Japanese Organization, served as the main combat forces.

On the naval side, the Combined Fleet was responsible for surface support for landing operations in Edo, and provided the Navy's Marine Units to assist the Army.

The Youxi detachment served as the general reserve of the campaign.

On the Allied side, Hizen and other feudal domains planned to send 10,000 to 20,000 troops to cooperate in the battle. However, considering the unequal strength of these friendly feudal clans and the incorrect perception of the new Japan, the General Staff Headquarters did not place high hopes on them.

The First Army, which had suffered heavy losses in the battles of Nara and Kyoto, was being replenished with new troops, some of whom were young immigrants from Fujian and Zhejiang, some of whom were new Han Chinese from Taiwan, and a small number of Han Chinese who were active in the Satsuma Domain and Osaka, as well as Japanese youths who had a full yearning for the empire.

The Hara Gakubun Detachment cooperated with the 6th Infantry Wing stationed in Kyoto to stabilize the security of Kyoto and was responsible for the protection of the Imperial Palace of the New Japanese State.

The final decision was set for June 1, before which the Imperial Army needed to train its recruits and recuperate. Most importantly, the former Japanese gunpowder production institutions received by the Imperial Army needed to be restored.

The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has sent a team of 50 people to Japan to assist in the reception of the goods, and these excellent technicians and professionals will help the Imperial Army to build a new arsenal in Japan.

In line with the full belief in the imperial army and the staff of the base camp that he had single-handedly established, Gonggong Wei did not make specific interventions in the Edo Campaign, and fully trusted the formulation of the staff headquarters.

A few days later, Wei attended the first Fuxing Society Congress in Kyoto.

This conference was proposed by Wei Gonggong.

After learning that Oshima Yugari and Oda had developed the Fuxing Society in Japan, mainly with the chrysanthemum samurai, his father-in-law was very happy and instructed his attendant Murokazaburo to write a program for the Funaissa Society.

The program mentions that under the principle of extreme secrecy, the Society should establish a strong organization with unity of will, strict discipline, clear responsibilities and quick action, with the outstanding officers of the Imperial Army as the backbone, combined with the elite of the young civil and military forces of the Empire, and under the guidance of the great ideas of Wei Gonggong. And I hope to rely on this organization to rectify the possible **, awaken the people of the empire, and finally realize the empire out of Asia, into the world, and realize the great prosperity of the empire as pointed out by Gonggong Wei.

My father-in-law really attached great importance to this matter, and he wrote in his diary: "Others have a party, but we don't have a party, but we have a society." The good people's society is stronger than the bad people's party. ”

At the meeting, all the delegates unanimously approved the organizational system of the Fuxing Society drawn up by Wei Gonggong, and formally established the composition of the society, which is divided into four levels: headquarters, branches, branches, and groups.

The head office is located in the base camp, and the position of president Wei Gonggong is held by 99% of the elected votes. The only vote against was cast by Grandpa Wei himself.

At that time, the venue applauded thunderously.

Under the gaze of all the delegates, Gonggong Wei delivered his acceptance speech.

The General Assembly has an executive committee and a supervisory committee.

The Executive Committee is the executive organ after the closing of the Members' Congress, and consists of personnel, organization, training, publicity, special services, general affairs and other departments.

The secret service was later merged with the chrysanthemum agency, and it was separated to form the emperor's pro-army secret service general agency, which would later be a powerful world.

The Supervision Commission has departments such as secretaries, investigations, and audits.

The branch is the leading organization at the provincial (special region) level. The branch is a branch of the prefecture and the province, and the branch is composed of more than three groups. Those who join the club must be introduced by three members, fill in the form and take an oath.

Finally, Yugari Oshima read out the main tasks of the Renaissance Society, which were to prepare for the war against the reactionary forces in Japan; intelligence work on the elimination of feudal domains against the separatist forces of local Japanese warlords; unifying or disintegrating military blocs outside the Empire; Paradise Propaganda.

Finally, the conference ended again with warm applause from all the delegates.

As the de facto founder of the Renaissance Society, Oshima Yugali was the most uncontroversial leader in the history of the Renaissance Society.

Taro Oda, one of the souls of the Renaissance Society. As a retainer of Grandpa Wei, he has always been regarded as the sharpest knife by Grandpa Wei's side.

Under Oda's hands, the Renaissance Society grew, with more than 200,000 members at its peak in Japan.

However, in the later March 36 mutiny in Kyoto, Oda sympathized with the former Empress Mizuo and refused to participate in the palace forcing incident initiated by Shimazu Tadatsune, Oshima Yugari and others, resulting in him being transferred to North Korea.

A few years later, in the First Imperial Army's Great Western Expedition initiated by Gonggong Wei, Xiao Tian was able to reactivate and became the commander of the First Dispatch Army of the Western Expedition.

In the coup d'état that followed in Beijing, Oda became the main representative of the armed settlement.

In the early days of the development of the Fuxing Society, many heroes emerged one after another, and they were later collectively called the "Thirteen Taibao", and in order to distinguish them from the thirteen righteous sons of Wei Gonggong, they were also called the "Thirteen Eagles of the Empire".

.......

At the end of May, the Battle of Edo was on the verge of breaking out.

On the 27th, the Duke of Wei today had all the people of insight to go to the shogunate, and offered Tokugawa Hidetada's reward - 5,000 taels of gold.

On the 29th, His Excellency the Ruling Authority of the New Kingdom of Japan issued an order to reward His Excellency the Great Tomorrow Envoy with 20,000 taels of gold and 20,000 stone of rice.

On the 30th, the 5th Infantry Wing and the Cavalry Wing of the Guards Division, the vanguard of the First Army, set out, and after easily defeating the enemy defending in front of them, they broke through to Kanto, and the front of the troops was directed towards Edo.

At the same time, the Combined Fleet also began a blockade of the Edo coast.

The Battle of Edo, also known as the Battle of the Kanto Territories, officially began.
