Chapter 791: The Fall of the Rising Sun - Shogun

Aiko Hiroshi has become Emperor Heisei, so she can't just study what her husband likes to eat, and she has to have her own government. Everything about the Heisei government had a result at the meeting where Aiko had been crying and crying, and Goxinga had already arranged it for his wife.

Aiko, the Heisei Emperor, inherited the legal system of Emperor Komei, and it is only natural that he should inherit the political proposition of Emperor Komei's combination of public and military forces in policy. Therefore, Emperor Heisei's first edict was to crusade against Meiji, and the second edict was to restore samurai politics, and the shogunate was established again, and the de facto ruler of Japan was still the shogun Seiyi. However, this time, the shogun was no longer the Tokugawa family, but Aiko's husband, the Koko-Yehenara family.

Guo Xinga has knelt behind his son's back many times, and he has not knelt in front of him less, and it doesn't matter if he kneels once when he has clothes, husband and wife! Therefore, a ceremony was held in Tokyo again, and Kokokoa accepted the canonization of Emperor Heisei and was inaugurated as the Japanese general of the Shogun, and his shogunate was the same set of people as the government of Northern Manchuria, and everyone changed their official names. After the ceremony ended, Guo Xing'a had the title of two great generals, one was the general of Fuyuan of the Qing Dynasty, and the other was the general of Zhengyi of Japan.

Guo Xing'a was very disgusted with accepting the Japanese official title, and he didn't care about kneeling in front of his wife, but he was very uncomfortable with the symbolism, but Pi Runmin and other ministers felt that it was the best. The last time the Manchurian army attacked Japan, the killing was too heavy, and although it shocked a large part of the people, it also aroused the disgust of another part of the people. The cost of conquest by force is too high, and it is better to solve the problem in a relatively cost-effective way. As long as Aiko's legitimacy is recognized by the Japanese, the rest is not up to Goxinga, and it is worth giving the Japanese a little sweetness. In the future, all policies have been implemented, and the Japanese will no longer have the ability to continue to resist, and Goxinga will not be able to do whatever he wants.

"My son and I will go back to Changchun tomorrow, and you can do the rest!" Everything was done according to the wishes of the ministers, and the money was saved, but Guo Xing'a was very unhappy, and he wanted to go home to repair his daughter-in-law.

"General, please rest assured, the ministers should handle it properly!" Pi Runmin knew that Guoxing was unhappy, so he could only coax him like a child.

Guo Xing'a, who returned to Changchun angrily, felt that his acceptance of the Japanese official title was equivalent to working part-time in Japan, although it was only nominal, but he was also very uncomfortable. The Japanese people were happy this time, and the Great General of Northern Manchuria had bowed the knee to their emperor, which had satisfied their vanity for decades. Pi Runmin and others, who stayed in Japan, felt that the benefits were the most important, and that Goxing Adan's name of the general of Zhengyi could break down the resistance of fifty percent of the Japanese people, what a bargain it was. No matter what the Japanese think, whether it is Japan annexing North Manchuria, or North Manchuria's annexation of Japan, in the end, the Chinese are a first-class nation, and those in power are also Chinese, isn't this enough?

After Emperor Heisei returned to Changchun to serve as a side Fujin, Pi Runmin took the jade seal he made in Tokyo and exercised the power of the emperor and the head of the cabinet. The first edict was to break up the 5th Marine Division of North Manchuria and the 1st Division of the Imperial Japanese Army into the Japanese army and reorganize them into the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army. Then Takumi Takizawa was appointed as the Minister of Imperial Affairs of Japan, Munehide Asano was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, navy and air force, Nafumi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Wulin was the only chief of the Japanese general staff, and Yuyuki Uesugi was the commander-in-chief of the Japanese rebel army. Pi Runmin's edict is very ingenious, on the surface, all the paper is full of Japanese, and the Japanese will definitely be ecstatic after reading it, but in fact, these people are all descendants of the Manchurian army, and their nationality is North Manchuria.

Pi Runmin's second edict was a desperate plan, announcing the restoration of the samurai traditions, the domain of the feudal lords would still be maintained, and the samurai's family and military privileges would be restored, which would kill the Meiji government. The Meiji government had been working hard to combat samurai privileges, and the feudal lords and samurai had not been very vocal about the new government. As soon as Pi Runmin's edict came out, there must be a large number of samurai anyway, and the main combat power of the Japanese army had to rely on samurai. If the samurai support the Heisei government and the civilian soldiers support the Meiji government, the Meiji government will be able to see it alone, not to mention the elite of Northern Manchuria.

Sure enough, as soon as Pi Runmin's two wills went, the whole of Japan was in chaos. The guerrillas in the areas of Yamagata, Shinchu, and Utsunomiya were unwilling to submit to the samurai, and they all went down the mountain to surrender to Emperor Heisei and turn their allegiance to Emperor Heisei. Several prefectures, including Matsuyama, Wakayama, Chiba, and Yamaguchi, also voluntarily surrendered without any attack, expressing their willingness to honor Emperor Heisei as orthodox. Even Osaka, which had been fighting hard for more than half a month with Naobumi Tachimi, Munehide Asano and others, also loosened, and the city took the initiative to send envoys to ask for peace talks with Naomi Tachimi and others. After Takumi Takizawa personally promised not to slaughter the castle and protect the rights and interests of the Samurai Toucheng, Osaka Castle surrendered, and the southwest gateway to Kyoto was opened.

"Teacher, the Tokyo government's inscription is very chaotic, and many troops on the front line are no longer easy to control!" Yeli Qiutong said about the actual situation, but there were also some changes in his heart. He began to feel that Emperor Heisei was better than Emperor Meiji, and at least the interests of the samurai class were safeguarded, which was exactly what he had been pursuing in recent years.

"I had long thought that the Manchurians would set up another puppet, but I didn't think they would do so badly, so they directly set up a sacrificial palace. You must do your best to inform the troops that Prince Aikonai has married outside and is no longer a member of the royal family, and is not qualified to inherit the legal system at all. The so-called Heisei Emperor is nothing more than a trick by the Manchurians to divide and provoke us. "Saigo Takamori is quite helpless, Meiji started very suddenly on the palace family, and it was indeed lightning fast, but there is no impermeable wall in the world.

There are legends among the people and the military in Kyoto about the Meiji massacre of various palaces, and the Manchurians are also working hard to spread the word all over the world, and there is no one who does not know about it. Meiji's massacre of the various palaces may have been just to prevent the ministers and politicians from uniting the palaces to usurp the throne, but now it doesn't matter what the truth is, Meiji's behavior is mixed with the accusations of the Manchurians, no matter how you look at it, Meiji is empty-minded. Meiji, who is not of royal blood, in order to avoid the leakage of his identity, the royal family was reinstated, so he killed all the royal families first. This matter is difficult to explain, and it is easy to get darker and darker, and Saigo Takamori can only not mention it, and attack Emperor Heisei with all his strength for the injustice of the legal system.

"The policy of the Tokyo government is very popular, the veterans and officers in the army are more inclined to them, and the lords of the various feudal domains are not stable, even the general and Rong Baogong think that Tokyo's policy is better!" Yeli Qiutong found that the teacher's heart was empty, and what he said to the teacher was not a legal issue at all, but a policy issue.

"Policies are no longer important, and those who can follow the emperor here are all loyal and pure people, and they will not be swayed by interests. The Tokyo government is simply trying to win over the samurai with its policies and disintegrate the main combat strength of our army. Saigo Takamori knew what Nori Akiki meant, but he didn't want to take it, and the Meiji government would never agree to it.

"Teacher, why don't we go to the imperial court and ask the emperor to restore the samurai tradition as well! Now that the front line is relying on the children of the martial arts family to fight bravely, it is not good for the imperial court to continue to treat the martial artists harshly! If not better than the Tokyo government, at least it has to be the same! Yeli Qiutong hesitated again and again, but still said what he thought in his heart, whether it was practical or not, he wanted to shout for the samurai class.

"You have fallen for the tricks of the Manchurians!" Saigo Takamori squatted down, he had this idea before, but unfortunately he knew that Meiji, who wanted to save face, would only play against the enemy, and would never carry out the same policy with the enemy.

"Teacher?" Yeli Qiutong saw some sly expressions on Saigo Takamori's face.

"When the Manchurians ordered the government in Tokyo to give such an order, they were counting on me to wait for a letter from His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers to make a decision. Once we are in the book, there are no more than two results, if the court allows it, virtue is in Tokyo, the court does not allow it, and the grievances are returned to themselves. Therefore, as long as we write a book, the court will be in a dilemma, and no matter what we do, we will further lose the hearts and minds of the people. Saigo Takamori really has his point, this is an excuse for him to convince himself, and Meiji's opposition also needs a reason.

"Yes, the students are taught!" Yeli Qiutong bowed his head and admitted his mistake, he found that he was too inconsiderate, and he didn't think about many things in detail.

"And maintaining the existing policy is even more beneficial to the imperial court! The Manchurians blindly made a fuss about the samurai, although the means were very clever, but they ignored one very important thing, and the imperial army is now mainly composed of the children of the common people. The privileges of the samurai and the demands of the people were in many ways contradictory, and pleasing the samurai would inevitably offend the people. Now that our samurai are doing their best, and the children of the common people are more supportive of our policies, it is in the best interests of the imperial court to keep the policy unchanged. Saigo Takamori thought of another good excuse in a short time.

Nori Akiki gave up the letter, but Saigo Takamori forgot to tell everyone what he thought, and Tokugawa Yoshiki and Matsudaira Yoho wrote the letter, and they explicitly demanded that the imperial court restore the privileges of the samurai. While Saigo Takamori was secretly complaining, the Meiji government neatly rejected the joint request of Tokugawa Yoshiki and Matsudaira Yoho, refuting them more harshly, and using quite fierce words, almost completely repudiating the samurai class.

This edict may just be a catharsis for Meiji, who shot himself in the foot, but the impact is by no means limited to Meiji and Tokugawa Yoshiki and others. When the contents of the edict spread, the old samurai were in an uproar, and the emperor was treating them too harshly. Kuwana, Mito, and a few other samurai of the feudal kingdom who had been at odds with the emperor in the first place, simply connected with each other privately, and secretly crossed the defense line in Nagoya, Osaka, Gifu and other places, and defected to the Heisei government. There are also more and more people who desert sporadically, and there are even cases of defection in various defense lines.

The samurai's large-scale vacancies and slips led to a great shock in the ranks of the Japanese army, which directly led to the collapse of the Japanese army in the Battle of Nagoya, and a complete rout and fled to Kyoto.
