Chapter 584: Helpless (2nd Update)

The situation of the Japanese Civil War was not very complicated, and the advantages of the new government army were also very limited. It's a pity that Shanyu didn't have a chance to turn the tide, because he had already tied his hands and feet before he came to help.

There was such a bad thing in Japan, and Goxinga was ready to directly send troops to intervene in Japan's civil war, and even planned to take the opportunity to destroy Japan in one fell swoop, but Goxinga's plan was completely rejected by the cabinet. Pi Runmin and Zou Degui were okay with Goxinga's recovery of Sakhalin Island and small-scale troublemaking in Japan, but Goxinga launched a full-scale war against Japan, but the two resolutely disagreed. Because now that Japan is destroyed, there is no benefit to the current North Manchuria.

Although North Manchuria won a brilliant victory in the war against Russia, its own ammunition reserves were also very huge. At present, if it is just to send troops to beat Japan violently, it may be able to hold on, but if the war is in a state of anxiety, the ammunition depot in North Manchurian will be a little unbearable. And North Manchuria, which now has no troops, launched a large-scale attack on Japan. The Ximen Armistice allowed Northern Manchurian to acquire a large territory, even larger than the original Northern Manchurian proper, although it was somewhat barren, but it was also garrisoned. The division of troops to occupy the new territory occupied a large number of troops in Northern Manchuria, and Bo Zhitu's Fifth Army Group also went to the northwest to help the imperial court fight, and now there are still people going to Japan to toss. Since Japan cannot be annihilated by sending troops, then the intervention in Japan will mainly be a small-scale troublemaker, and there is no need to sink yourself too deeply.

In addition to the fact that North Manchuria's own heart is more than enough and its strength is insufficient, the external conditions are not too good. Japan is very different from Korea, it is not a subject country of the Qing Dynasty, and the dispatch of troops by Guoxinga is somewhat unjustifiable. Moreover, Japan had already signed many unequal treaties during the Xianfeng period, and Western powers such as Britain, France, and the United States had great interests in Japan. The United States, which is already half-crippled, can have no scruples, but Britain and France still have to give some face. Now it's just Asano and some other Japanese mercenaries who are making small moves in Nihonmatsu, and the British have begun to lash out at North Manchurian for unreasonably interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. North Manchuria, which has just taken a big advantage from Russia, should now do something to cultivate its voice and digest the war dividends it has just obtained, and there is no need to go to Japan to cause trouble.

Moreover, Guo Xing'a can't come up with any decent reasons, he wants to fight Japan, it is completely because he himself does not like Japan. The Qing Emperor who was arbitrary could not use such an absurd reason to start a war against other countries, and Guoxinga, who had given a lot of power to the cabinet, was certainly not able to do so. And in the eyes of Pi Runmin and others, Japan really can't see any oil and water except for the slightly lower price of gold. It was really worth the loss to fight such a poor and white country, and it was impossible to waste bullets, so the cabinet resolutely rejected Goxinga's opinion.

Guoxing, who can predict the future, has a deep obsession with the matter of destroying the sun. However, the power of the cabinet was given by him personally, and in order to improve the country's development in the future, he could only accept the cabinet's refutation. There are still many opportunities to destroy the sun, and the establishment of his own administrative mechanism is of course more important, so Guo Xing'a gave up, and Shanyu was tied hand and foot.

Running to the Aizu Domain to show Matsudaira Rongbao a clear path is not something that Shanyu can do with a red mouth and white teeth. In addition to giving enough military support, he also had to come up with a large amount of material aid to the Aizu Domain, otherwise why would Matsudaira Rongbao listen to Shanyu. But Shanyu can't overspend his military power, and the cabinet also feels that it's not worth spending money on Matsudaira Rongbao, so Shanyu can only take one step at a time.

The meeting in the castle tower was very embarrassing, and Zenyu scolded all the feudal lords as pig-headed three, and Niwa Ichigaku, who was also a member of the feudal clan, was naturally uncomfortable. After talking vernacular for a long time, but he couldn't take out anything practical, Shanyu was naturally uncomfortable. Asano, who is sandwiched in the middle, is even more difficult to be. Fortunately, the new government troops outside the city were knowledgeable and used them to attack like death, and resolved the embarrassment of several people.

Itagaki Resuke, Oyama Yasuke, and Ijiji Masachi also had a headache for a day, and he never came up with a way to deal with the fierce mercenaries. But it's really not going to work if you don't fight, it's autumn now, and if the stalemate continues, the cold winter will come. At that time, the silver of the northern country will be covered in snow, and the cold can also freeze to death these southwestern warriors. Although there were still 40,000 troops of Yamaguchi Kurasuke in the Echigo direction, it was estimated that it would be difficult to break through the Echigo defense line of the Aizu Domain after they crossed the mountains and mountains. Once the new government forces encircle and suppress the Aizu domain to no avail, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future. Now the Northeast feudal clans still only want to gain a place in the imperial court, and when they win, they don't necessarily have any requirements. Matsudaira Yoho, who has always been loyal to the shogunate, will take advantage of the power of victory to restore the rule of the shogunate, only God knows.

In any case, Ijiji Masachi and the others could no longer be delayed in Nihonmatsu, and they must immediately break through Nihonmatsu and reach the bottom of Wakamatsu Crane Castle, and hit Matsudaira Rongbao by surprise. So the three of them discussed for a day and a night, and after several quarrels, they finally came to a unanimous opinion, that is, to carry forward the spirit of Japanese bushido, no matter who you are, try it for a while. Since the formation of the new government army, the powerful shogunate army has also been wiped out, so I don't believe that you mercenaries are three-headed and six-armed, and you can still defeat the military luck of the new government army for a long time. While Zendama and Asano were in the castle tower, practicing some of the symptoms of embarrassment cancer, the new government forces launched a desperate attack on Nihonmatsu.

Ijiji Masachi gathered 2,000 government troops, and he sat in the rear, and Itagaki retreated to command on the front line, and after bypassing the confession, he once again approached the mouth of the big altar, preparing to fight to the death with the mercenaries. The new government army, which followed the British method of warfare, did not put up any hollow phalanx, but it also stood very densely, and still used the queue attack as its magic weapon for victory. In the open space outside the entrance of the big altar, the new government troops, lined up in a not very neat line, began to slowly advance towards the mercenaries' positions.

How to face such an enemy, the mercenaries have a lot of experience, and the Russians they fought in Outer Manchuria are such virtues. The riflemen bowed their bodies in the trenches, and the heavy machine gunners loaded their ammunition and waited for the enemy to arrive, but the artillery stole all the limelight.
