Chapter 332: The fire on the docks

Thinking about the possible consequences, Sun Hui was afraid for a while, and at the same time regretted adopting today's idea.

But the wood is already in the boat, and it is too late to regret it now, and the top priority now is to prevent Li Guangtai from thinking about it for a while and looking for a short-term view.

Just in case, Sun Hui ordered Captain Zhao to follow Li Guangtai with a few men for twelve hours a day to prevent anything uncontrollable from happening.

Sun Hui set a fire, but the size of the fire was obviously not something that he, the arsonist, could control.

Originally, Sun Hui could pat his ass and leave after releasing the rumors, but now it is just people in Kyoto discussing this matter, and it has not achieved the result that Zhang Lingyang wants, Sun Hui does not dare to pat his ass and leave now.

On Li Guangtai's side, after Sun Hui gave the death order, no one dared to point fingers at Li Guangtai, but this only meant that the officers and men of the First Fleet were not pointing at Li Guangtai.

In Kyoto City, as soon as Li Guangtai went out, the Fusang people who knew Li Guangtai's identity still pointed at Li Guangtai.

Although Li Guangtai couldn't understand Fusang's words, it was obvious that Li Guangtai knew what these Fusang people were talking about.

couldn't stand the strange eyes of the Fusang people, and from this day on, Li Guangtai didn't go out much, and even moved back to the battleship directly.

During this period, he constantly urged Sun Hui to return to China as soon as possible, anyway, Li Guangtai's mission had been completed 'successfully', and there was no need to stay in Fusang at all.

But Sun Hui's task was obviously not completed, so how could he return to China easily?

Sun Hui excused himself that the fresh water, vegetables, and grain on the ship had not yet been replenished, and asked Li Guangtai to wait patiently for a few days.

Li Guangtai couldn't, so he had to stuff himself in the boat every day......

The rumors intensified, and in less than two days, several daimyo near Kyoto began to unite and began to gather troops in the name of 'Yasukuni', vowing to crusade against Tokugawa Yasuaki, who had defiled the imperial family, and of course, Li Guangtai was also indispensable.

At this time of crisis, the monarch of Fuso, under the instruction of Tokugawa Yasuaki, repeatedly went out of the palace to explain to the people.

But the people simply thought that their monarch had been coerced by Tokugawa Yasuaki and had to do so. As for the big names outside, they won't believe it even more.

Tokugawa Yasuaki didn't bother to explain to the people, first, because he did those things, and second, because he still had to organize troops to resist those local daimyo who rebelled, so how could he have the time and effort to explain to the people?

However, Tokugawa Yasuaki felt that Li Guangtai was obviously wronged, after all, that night, Li Guangtai really did not have any improper relationship with Empress Hanako and Princess Rishino, but suffered his own unjustified disaster.

As for the source of the spread of the news, the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Great Zhou?

Tokugawa Yasuaki just thought that this was a court dispute within the Great Zhou, and the First Fleet deliberately wronged Li Guangtai.

But for the First Fleet, which was full of ships and guns, Tokugawa Yasuaki was also helpless, and he was not willing to question at all, but just revised a letter to apologize to Li Guangtai.

As for the royal family, at the signal of Mingbei, Prince Matsuhito ran to the First Fleet every once in a while, wanting to apologize to Li Guangtai.

But where will Li Guangtai meet?

How innocent Li Guangtai is, Prince Songren naturally knows it, but at this time, Prince Songren wants to prove Li Guangtai's innocence, but he can't argue, and the people don't do his words at all, what can he do?

Even, because of the appearance of Mingbei and Matsuna, things are showing signs of getting worse.

"They must have done it on purpose, they must have done it on purpose!" After knowing the situation outside, Li Guangtai roared in annoyance.

"Lord Li, it's too late to say anything now, the fleet can be replenished today, and we will leave for China tomorrow, okay?" Sun Hui 'comforted' him.

Li Guangtai had long wanted to escape from Fusang, the land of right and wrong, and after Sun Hui said this, his anger obviously went down a lot, and he nodded, which can be regarded as agreeing.

However, Sun Hui obviously will not leave so easily.

In the evening, Sun Hui gathered several cronies again to discuss and dispersed.

In the wee hours of the morning, it was dark and silent on the Kyoto pier.

Suddenly, several figures ran to the anchorage of the First Fleet of the Great Zhou Royal Navy and climbed up quietly.

Probably because the officers and men of the First Fleet were so poorly prepared, no one noticed that anyone was on board.

Soon, a burst of fire came from a battleship near the dock.

"It's on fire! It's on fire! Suddenly, the soldiers in charge of the patrol saw the light of fire coming from a battleship and hurriedly shouted.

This moment, it suddenly woke up the sleeping officers of the First Fleet.

When he put on his clothes and wanted to put out the fire on the burning battleship, the fire was already uncontrollable, and ordinary people couldn't get close at all, so they could only watch the battleship finally burned to ashes......

By dawn, the fire had finally gone down, and the burning battleship had fallen to the bottom of the sea trembling.

"Hurry up and count the losses and see how many brothers are gone!" Sun Hui said angrily.

"Yes, General!" Sun Hui in the world below was angry, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went to count it.

Half an hour later, the man came back and reported, "General, we have lost twenty-three brothers, and countless other material weapons!" ”

"Have the remains of the brothers been recovered?" Sun Hui asked.

"General, the fire is too big, I'm afraid that the brothers on this ship have already been reduced to ashes."

"What about people?" Sun Hui roared, "Who set the fire?" ”

"The subordinates vaguely saw that it was a few Fuso people dressed as samurai!"

"What? It turned out to be a Fuso person? Sun Hui was annoyed and angry, "Someone is coming, enter the city with General Ben, General Ben wants to see who has the courage to dare to set fire to the warships of our Great Zhou Navy." ”

"Yes!" The man replied and went to gather his forces.

However, at the Kyoto Castle Gate, the guards at the gate saw a large group of men approaching, and hurriedly ordered the gate that had just been opened to be closed, and sent someone to inform Tokugawa Yasuaki.

After Tokugawa Yasuaki received the news, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then reacted: "It must be those daimyo, they want to deceive the city gate under the banner of the Great Zhou, notify it, the surrounding city gates must be strictly guarded, without the order of the general, no one is allowed to open the city gate, and after being cleaned up by the general, go to the city gate to command!" ”

At this moment, Tokugawa Yasuaki had not yet gotten up from bed, and after receiving the news, he gave an order, so he hurriedly freshened up.

After breakfast and armor, by the time Tokugawa Yasuaki climbed the city walls, there would be no trace of rebels outside the city?

Tokugawa Yasuaki was extremely depressed, and only listened to the soldiers defending the city reply: "General, half an hour ago, the rebels saw that they could not open the city gate, so they automatically retreated!" ”
