Chapter 794: The Fall of the Rising Sun - Five Hundred Years of Ambition

The purpose of the Manchurian Army's use of cloudburst bombs was only to test in actual combat, and when it was delivered as actual combat weapons, a full 100 cloudburst bombs had already solved many problems. Saigo Takamori's hard-held defensive line completely collapsed, several of the strongest and most important firepower points fell, and several large openings were spread on the defensive line, and even the Korean soldiers broke into the interior of the position. The line of defense, to which Saigo Takamori had poured his last bit of effort, had lost his meaning.

"Ye Lijun, gather up all the troops that can still be withdrawn, take them back to the city, and find a way to protect His Majesty the Emperor!" Saigo Takamori has not been able to fully recover his eyesight since he was injured by the poison gas, and his vision is always very blurry, and he looked carefully for a long time before he was sure that the person who stuck to his side was Yeli Akiki.

"Teacher!" Yeli Qiutong didn't want to give up yet, the Japanese army had no way to retreat, so it was better to give it a go.

"The Manchurian Army, the Korean Army, and those puppet armies have completely broken through our defense line and occupied many important nodes, so what's the point of holding on? The Manchurian army was extremely good at interspersing detours, and the divided units would soon be encircled, and it was better to make them withdraw than to let them be strangled after running out of ammunition and food. Let's go back to town! There is still hope if you can go back, His Majesty the Emperor needs someone to protect him, so you can take them back! Saigo Takamori has lost all hopes, he knows that retreating to the city is just sitting and waiting to die, but he can't bear more than 100,000 samurai to die in vain in vain.

"Hay!" Yeli Qiutong saw despair in the teacher's eyes, and at the same time saw the gray hair on the teacher's sideburns, he didn't want to say anything anymore, the last moment had come.

After Yeli Qiutong left, Saigo Takamori sat alone in the command post, looking at the gray sky and looking back at his life. From the impoverished subtle samurai who jumped up, the Ansei Prison, and the Restoration, all the way through ups and downs, Saigo Takamori has experienced too much. I thought that I could help the world at the same time, but I didn't expect that in the end everything was in vain, the Manchurians tore everything apart, and the era of Saigo Takashi came to an abrupt end.

If Saigo Takamori could also travel and know the original historical situation, he would definitely be glad for the end of today, and thank the Gokoko who destroyed all his efforts. Because if there was no Guoxinga to stir up the situation, Saigo Takamori's ending would still be bleak, and he died at the hands of his own people, far less dignified and glorious than dying in battle now. It's a pity that Saigo Takamori didn't have that opportunity, he could only sigh the difficulty of the rise of a small country, and secretly lament the injustice of heaven.

"Xixiang Palace, a messenger from the Heisei Army has come, and he wants to meet you!" A guard barged in, interrupting Saigo Takamori's thoughts.

"Let him go back! Didn't I confess? I don't see their messenger! "Saigo Takamori no longer has the heart to kill the envoy again.

"The attitude of the messenger is very resolute, he must see you! He said his name was Wulin Only! "The soldiers didn't dare to make their own decisions, the Heisei army had already reached a position less than a kilometer away from them, and the significance of this messenger was definitely extraordinary.

"The only one in martial arts? Let him in! Saigo Takamori had heard the name, and Yasuke Oyama had mentioned the young traitorous general.

Soon after the guards went out, they brought in a young general dressed in a splendid military uniform, with three glittering golden stars on his shoulders. The young general's face was a little oily, and he was not an honest guy at first glance, but his attitude was very respectful. The young general did not salute Saigo Takamori, but took off his military hat and bowed to Saigo Takamori.

"The junior martial arts is the only one who has ever seen a senior in Xixiang!" Wulin only used honorifics, but it didn't seem to be so respectful.

"The chief of the general staff of the Heisei puppet dynasty, Wulin only?" Saigo Takamori knew that the young man was a high-ranking general, but he couldn't equate him with the chief of the general staff of a country.

"Yes, the junior is currently the chief of the general staff of the army, navy and air force of the Imperial Japanese Empire!" Wu Lin only bowed again, but he was very unceremoniously asked for Ma Zha to sit down.

"The Great Japanese Empire, the Yamato nation, will never recognize the chief of the general staff appointed by a foreign nation!" Saigo Takamori was not angry, but his tone was very stern.

"The juniors were not appointed by foreign clans, but by the decree of Emperor Heisei!" The only thing in the martial arts is still light and light.

"The prince in the palace has been married, she is no longer a royal family, and how can a female stream be the emperor, the Heicheng puppet dynasty is just a puppet of the Manchurians! If I'm not mistaken, your Excellency was once an officer of the Mercenary Corps! Saigo Takamori was a little surprised, few people could be so calm in front of him, his murderous aura and majesty actually had no effect on this young man.

"Emperor Tuigu and Emperor Huangji are not women, but there have been eight female emperors in the Japanese Empire, and now His Majesty Emperor Heisei has succeeded to the throne according to the ancient system, there is nothing wrong with it! And my Heisei Emperor His Majesty succeeded to the throne is also a last resort, the puppet emperor Meiji slaughtered the imperial family, and the bloodline of my imperial family of the Japanese Empire was almost cut off, if my Majesty the Emperor Heisei did not follow the heavens and inherit the unification, would I let the heir of the Emperor of the Japanese Empire be cut off and fall into the hands of traitors! "The only thing in the martial arts is that he is righteous and strict, and he didn't mention the question of his origin, but he just bit the legitimacy of Emperor Heisei.

"His Majesty the Emperor is not a puppet emperor!" Saigo Takamori was almost out of words, and although the Meiji massacre of the palace family cut off the delusions of the ministers, it also forced himself into a desperate situation, and Saigo Takamori could not defend him.

"Saigo's seniors, juniors are visiting today, and I don't want to argue with you about these inconsequential things. It is an indisputable fact that Meiji murdered the first emperor and killed the imperial family, and no matter what his bloodline was, he was no longer worthy of being emperor. His Majesty the Emperor Heisei cherishes talents, and the Shogun also thinks that you are a rare hero in Japan, and they can't bear to bury you for the Meiji Puppet Emperor, so they specially sent the younger generations to persuade you to get lost! "The only thing Wu Lin doesn't want to talk nonsense is, his purpose is just to persuade Saigo to surrender to Takamori.

"Morning Meng's grace meets the night and burns the pit, and life is like a gloom.

Even if you don't return to the sun, if you don't have luck, you can push sincerity.

Luoyang's confidants are all ghosts, and the Nanyu prisoners are alone.

Life and death are not suspicious of talent, and I am willing to leave my soul to protect the imperial city. ”

Saigo Takamori did not answer the only one in the martial arts, but muttered his old poems.

"Although the predecessors are already under siege by our army, in addition to calmly dying, they can also abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Isn't the imminent rise of the Great Japanese Empire exactly what our predecessors have been looking forward to for years? Seniors and do not leave a useful body, serve the country and the nation! The Japanese Empire and the Yamato nation need you, and Meiji Child's comparison with these two is just a feather! "The only thing that Wu Lin has prepared is some rhetoric.

"Have you ever heard the words of the Seventh Servant Country?" Saigo Takamori asked about some irrelevant things.

"As a samurai, the younger generation naturally heard it, so he came to beg his predecessors to beg his predecessors to leave a useful body to repay his family and country!" The only thing that Wulin does not leave the country and the nation is, he just wants to persuade Saigo Takamori once.

"My ancestor is a great hero who is known as Nanmu Zhengchenggong! I've wanted to be like him since I was a kid! Saigo Takamori seemed to be stuck in memory again.

"The younger generation is lonely and unheard!" The only thing in Wulin was brainstorming for a while, and he didn't remember that when the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were any famous generals surnamed Xixiang.

"My ancestor's surname was Kikuchi!" Saigo Takamori looked at Wu Lin and laughed.

"Kikuchi Takemitsu?" Wu Lin was only surprised, he never thought that Saigo Takamori was actually a descendant of a famous general of the Southern Dynasty.

"Yes, when the Southern Dynasty was stormy, it was the ancestors who had been guarding Prince Huailiang's side, repeatedly defeating the army of the Northern Dynasty and protecting the integrity of the orthodoxy!" Saigo Takamori mentioned his ancestors, his face full of pride. It's just that Kikuchi Takemitsu failed to turn the tide and collapsed, and Saigo Takamori couldn't help the building to fall.

"Is it true that seniors? It can't be misinformation! "The only brain of martial arts is running at high speed, and if Saigo Takamori is really a descendant of Kikuchi Takemitsu, then he will have a lot of fun. Not only will Saigo Takamori not surrender, but if he can't do it, he will have to pull him as a cushion before he dies.

"My Saigo clan has lived on Kyushu Island for generations, and I am a descendant of the Kumamoto Kikuchi clan! During my exile, I changed my name to Gengo Kikuchi, and that's the reason! "The Saigo Takamori family has been known for generations in the name of Takashi, and they have also passed on the exploits of their ancestors from generation to generation, and Saigo Takamori certainly knows very well who his ancestors are.

"The vicissitudes of life have been hundreds of years ago, and how many heroes and heroes have been ancients!" Wu Lin only started to go around the bend, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Yes! 500 years! The world is in turmoil, the Muromachi Shogunate has been ruined, and the Tokugawa Shogunate has been overthrown by my own hands, and that era is long gone! When Saigo Takamori talked about this, he couldn't help but feel a lot more emotion.

"What the predecessors said is very true, it is all old from hundreds of years ago!" The only thing that is strange in martial arts is that Saigo Takamori's mental arithmetic is very fast! He still hasn't figured out how many years Kikuchi Takemitsu has been now.

"Many things have changed, but the loyalty of my Kikuchi clan to the orthodoxy of the Southern Dynasty will not change! Saigo Takamori's defeat is unjustifiable, but my loyalty will not change! Your Excellency doesn't need to say much, today's defeat is today, and Saigo Takamori is ready to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! Saigo Takamori suddenly regained the majesty of a general, and his speech speed increased a lot.

"Is Meiji really the blessing of Omuro-in, the descendant of Emperor Go-Daigo?" Wu Lin only subconsciously asked, Meiji is not Omuro Yin's blessing Guo Xing'a can't be confirmed at all, and the words are just for propaganda.

"Hahahaha...... You guys! His Royal Highness Gokoko is very wise, and his clever plan has disturbed the hearts of the Japanese people, but the facts are the facts, and he cannot change them. His Majesty the Emperor is the son and son of Emperor Komei, and it is Prince Muhito back then, and the blessing of Omuro Yin is nothing but nonsense! Saigo Takamori laughed loudly, the Manchurians were either misjudged, they were deliberately disturbing people's hearts.

"I really didn't expect that there were so many changes before and after Meiji's accession to the throne, and it was really ...... Hehehe...... "Wulin is only a little embarrassed.

"My Kikuchi clan has not dared to forget the revival of the Southern Dynasty for five hundred years, but where can the descendants of the Southern Dynasty go to find it! His Majesty the Emperor has been taught by me since he was a child, he is a wise monarch who knows right from wrong and understands the principles of heaven, and he knows where orthodoxy lies! Saigo Takamori's voice is getting louder and louder, Meiji's respect for the Southern Dynasty as orthodoxy is completely a means to win people's hearts, where are the twists and turns that Gokoko said.

"Your Excellency, go back! See you on the battlefield! "Saigo didn't plan to kill Wulin only, he already looked down on everything.
