Compared to the almost unpredictable international relations that were stirred up by the Great Song people, Ito Hirobumi is clear about Japan's domestic political ecology. He knew very well that those ronins in Beihai actually chose to gather a crowd to make trouble at this juncture, and it was obvious that someone was behind it.

After the end of the Southwest War, the Meiji government set up a temporary court in Kyushu, and successively beheaded more than 20 main criminals and imprisoned nearly 1,000 people. After that, the Meiji government's "Decree on the Distribution of Knives" was successfully implemented, and the "Decree on the Mandate of the Feudal Administration" was truly implemented, and the Foot Basin Chicken eventually became a centralized state.

After that, there were basically no samurai roaming the streets of the big cities with long and short swords on their heads and waists, let alone crowds protesting against the Meiji government's decrees.

If this kind of thing happened in Kagoshima Prefecture, that is, in the former Satsuma Domain, it would be fine, after all, it was the place where the Saigo Mori Incident occurred. But now in Hokkaido, which is far away from where the ronin was shot, there is a situation where the ronin is gathering to make trouble, which makes people wonder if there are other forces behind it!

"What did those ronins ask for?" Hirobumi Ito asked.

"They implore the emperor to revoke the ban on 'discarding swords' and to demand that the payment of salaries be resumed." Mutsu Munemitsu said.

In the Footbasin Chicken Restoration Movement, many samurai who supported Emperor Meiji played a significant role in overthrowing the shogunate. After the emperor's reign, they thought they would be able to share in the fruits of their victory, but most of the samurai were not waiting for rewards, but rather a decree issued by the Meiji government to reduce the salaries of the samurai that had been passed down from generation to generation in order to reduce the financial burden.

Even more surprising to the nobility, the salary cut was only the beginning of their demise. One of the fundamental privileges of the scholar clan was the inheritance of the family from generation to generation, and in the old shogunate period, the family was associated with "bonong", which was to fulfill feudal obligations to the lord and undertake certain work, while the ieroku was the reward given by the lord for this, and the two were interdependent. The family is inherited from generation to generation, and the job position is also passed down from generation to generation.

However, after the Meiji government introduced the policy of abolishing the feudal domain and establishing the prefecture, the old feudal government ceased to exist, and the nobles naturally lost the object of their official duties, so that a situation was formed in which they unilaterally received the family roku without assuming the obligation. In addition, although the Shishi clan had been cut by the Meiji government, it still accounted for 20-30% of the government's annual expenditure, which made the Nimadu the largest part of the government's expenditure, which was simply unacceptable to the Meiji Emperor, who sold his own belongings to tinker with the navy.

As a result, the Meiji government resolutely implemented the "Kinroku Public Debt" system and completely abolished the family of the scholars. Although the gentry received a sum of money at that time, most of them, especially the lower classes, went bankrupt due to poor management, and eventually became destitute people waiting to be sold in the labor market.

In other words, the restoration of the Jialu system is not only concerned with the idle ronin, but also involves the interests of the vast majority of the lower class nobles who have turned to production. It is precisely because of this that Inukai a man took the restoration of Yulu as the entry point to cause civil strife in the footbasin chicken.

In the history of the original time and space, how did the footpot chicken solve this contradiction? The Meiji government gave the gentry another way to participate in the government's campaign of foreign military aggression and expansion, and the gentry were forced to participate in the foreign expansion by coercing them into participating in the foreign expansion. It is precisely because of this policy that the footpot chicken has gone farther and farther on the road of no return to ****.

Of course, even in the history of the original time and space, when the Sino-Japanese War was going more smoothly than it is now, the footpot chicken was not able to fully digest these contradictions through the war.

Most of the war reparations extorted from the Manchurians fell into the pockets of the upper-class Chinese, and some of them were used to strengthen armaments, and the funds that were really used to improve people's livelihood were very small, so that after the First Sino-Japanese War, there were many riots in the country.

In this time and space through the intervention of the public, the losses of the two armies of the Foot Basin Chicken Sea and Army in the First Sino-Japanese War of the Japanese Qing Dynasty were much greater than those of the Primordial Air. And because of the fear of being dominated by BB63's 406 large water pipe, it has also led to the fact that the investment in naval armaments of the footbasin chicken is also much higher than that of the original time and space.

In other words, it is not only the ronin class composed of down-and-out samurai who are not happy in the country now, but also those hard-working civilians who are also Wang Xiaoer's New Year-year is not as good as a year.

In such difficult living conditions, as long as there is a troublemaker, there is no shortage of responders in Zhennyima. Of course, even Osaka small traders like Inukai Kazuo can see the potential threat, and old foxes like Ito Hirobumi are also aware of the stakes.

"To mobilize manpower, we must nip chaos in the bud." Hirobumi Ito said that unlike the "cowardice" of the Great Song people, the prime minister is very tough on the inside.

Hmph, even when Saigo Takamori, the so-called spiritual leader, is still there, you can't make a big deal by gathering the power of the entire Satsuma Domain, and now a few down-and-out ronin can make any waves?

Ito Hirobumi certainly didn't want the farce of the "Republic of Ezo" that had been staged in 1868 to repeat it, and he planned to use the power of thunder to extinguish the small flames lit by the ronin, and all the participants would be sent to Korea.

With Hirobumi Ito's permission, Footpot's army immediately intervened in the Ronin protests in Hokkaido. As the Prime Minister had expected, the ronins who had violated the "Scatter Knife Order" in the countryside openly resisted the army's suppression.

Everyone thought that these ronin, who had survived by the protection of the old forces in the countryside, would be crushed by the army, but what was surprising was that after nearly a week of tossing, the red deer not only did not disperse the ronin that gathered, but instead spread the conflict to more places.

"What's going on? Soldiers with rifles can't do anything about those ronins who only have swords at their waists? Ito was so angry that he slapped the message from the Army on the table.

Do those troublesome ronins only have long and short swords pinned to their waists? Joke! Lu Xiaobei's "Euphrates" plan is completely based on the gourd to copy the routine used by Eagle Sauce in Syria, how can it be possible to let those "cute" ronin wield katana to do things?

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, those troublesome ronins not only have pistols, but also use rifles, they even have explosives!" A liaison officer sent by the War Department gave details that were inconvenient to disclose in the cable.

The "Euphrates" plan was originally specially formulated in response to the situation that the Sino-Japanese War was not conducive to crossing the people, and its preliminary steps were implemented long before the signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" in Chunfanlou.

In other words, before BB63 appeared, the Japanese traitors secretly transported the equipment captured from the Manchurians and the Footbasin Chicken Army to Hokkaido.

The red deer with Ito's warrant thought that they would not even have to use the ten bullets in the cowhide bullet bag, and that they would be able to disperse the troublesome ronin by setting up their bayonets with their numerical superiority.

However, unexpectedly, the ronins did not draw their katana to play against them, and when they lined up to disperse each other, they were shot by the ronin who came to the barricade.

What's even more Nima's face is that after firing for a while, the red deer found that when they ran out of ammunition, the other party still kept shooting like firecrackers!

Originally, I thought that this was a small operation to suppress violence and maintain stability at home, and the red deer did not carry much ammunition, but fortunately, the ronin did not receive systematic shooting training, and the battle could barely be maintained.

Finally, I was looking forward to the ammunition replenishment, and the ronin on the opposite side actually started throwing explosives at his side! Big brother, are you sure that Nima herself is a ronin who is about to uncover the pot? This explosive is thrown like a kick, who can withstand it?
