Chapter 795: The Fall of the Rising Sun - Puppet Emperor
All the fighting was over in one day, and Saigo's defense line was in ashes, leaving only corpses all over the ground. Saigo Takamori completed the perfect end of his samurai, and he collapsed in the way of the charge, and died by seppuku himself. Saigo Takamori's only regret is that his disciple Yeli Akiki did not listen to him and returned to the city, but returned to his side. At the end of the shogunate, the outstanding man slashed the field force Akikiri, personally made a mistake for Saigo Takamori, and then died by himself.
After the collapse of the defensive line, the various units of the Manchurian Army, as Saigo expected, quickly completed the division and encirclement of the Japanese army, except for the more than 10,000 people snatched out by Yeli Qiutong, all the 100,000 Japanese elites were annihilated. However, more than 70,000 of them survived, and Emperor Heisei's edict became an excuse for them to lay down their arms, and the samurai chose to be loyal to the new emperor. They were willing to surrender and then accept the adaptation and become military men of the Great Japanese Empire again. The Manchurian Army, in a rare move, did not raise the butcher's knife, but received them leniently.
After the end of Saigo Takamori, the god of war, some of the small towns that were still holding on to the Meiji government also surrendered, and Kyoto completely became the burial place of the Meiji government. Gu Gancheng also wanted to take the remnants of the soldiers to fight for a while, at least to buy some time to come out and let Meiji escape, but the people's hearts were scattered, and the team couldn't take it at all. In less than a day, all the defensive points of the inner city of Kyoto were lost, and the Heisei government army was the first to break into the inner city.
Korea and Japan are mortal enemies, and Japan has bullied Korea many times for thousands of years, and it almost wiped out the Lee dynasty. This time, it was finally Japan's turn to be destroyed, and the Koreans immediately trembled. The governor of the Korean military affairs is Li Xi's elder brother Xingyinjun Li Zhiying, this guy changed into a gorgeous dress early, and urged his subordinates to attack the city day and night, just wanting to grab the first credit and be the first to enter Kyoto City. This guy also asked someone to privately send a gift to the headquarters of the Manchurian Army, hoping that the Manchurian Army could give him a chance to let the Korean army capture Meiji and let out a bad anger that he had endured for thousands of years.
The front commander of the Manchurian Army, headed by Mu Shun, and the front commander of the Heisei Army, headed by Asano Munehide, had no opinion on Lee's most requested request. Mu Shun didn't care about these false names, coaxed the little brothers to be happy, and Asano Sohide and others didn't want to bear the infamy. Meiji has been the emperor for nine years, and he is considered a recognized monarch of Japan, and the Japanese will always inevitably be scolded when they go to capture and kill him in person, and Asano and others are still better to hide. It's a pity that Changchun doesn't care much about Li Zhiying's feelings, and Goxinga personally sent a telegram, strictly ordering the Manchurian Army and the Korean Army not to enter the city of Kyoto, capture Kyoto, and capture the glory of Meiji must belong to the Heisei Army.
"Who wants to be the first to enter the city!" After Changchun's order came, Kyoto, whose city defense was completely lost, held out for another three days, and the generals of the Heisei army pushed me so that no one would be the first to enter. There was really no way, Takumi Takizawa, who was a symbol in Kyoto, could only come to the front line in Kyoto to supervise the battle.
"Kyoto has been divided everywhere, whichever war zone is enterprising and convenient, just go straight in, this supreme glory, don't be humble." Asano Sohide was the first to come out and say that he was the commander-in-chief and would definitely not be able to run, but he didn't have to get started directly, and he didn't have a backache when he stood and talked. However, Asano also drew the way down, and gave several of his cronies a look, all of which were for Lao Tzu to hide behind.
"It's not a problem for our department to control the castle town, but the remnants of the Gugan Castle Guard Bureau are still resisting stubbornly, and our department will delay a lot of time to search for and kill the remnants of the enemy, and this great credit has to be made to people!" Uesugi Yuyuki is the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, personally leading the first division of the Heisei Army, and he is very happy to pick himself and his descendants out.
"Our department will not dare to be greedy for merit, some of Saigo Takamori's sworn friends are still fighting guerrillas outside the city, our department needs to eliminate these remnant enemies, and we can't get away for the time being!" Manpower is limited, and the only chief of general staff in Wulin also personally leads the second division. The only martial artist who mixed up with Shanyu, and his ability to make excuses is even more first-class.
"The first to attack Kyoto is none other than our department! …… However, the location of our department is too far away from the palace, and the remnants of the enemy in the city are insisting on street fighting, and it may take a lot of time to assault the palace! "Seeing that Shangwen's Third Division is his old foundation, he also knows that there are some things he can't dodge, but a famous general is a famous general, and he pretends to be dead more beautiful than others. Naofumi Tachimi took the cauldron that was the first to invade Kyoto, but threw out the cauldron that captured Meiji.
After the first, second, and third divisions expressed their positions, everyone stopped talking, and looked at Youpeng in Shanxian of the Fourth Division. Youpeng in Shan County was embarrassed, sweating down, and his brain was running at high speed, but he really couldn't find an excuse. When Kyoto Castle was divided, Asano Munehide and Uesugi Yuyuki, two people who lacked virtue, gave good positions to their own people, and the position of the Fourth Division was the most fatal, not only very convenient to attack, but also the closest to the Imperial Palace. Yama County Youpeng originally wanted to say that his troops were insufficient, but the elites of those who surrendered under Saigo Takamori were replenished into his Fourth Division, and his current strength was not less than others. The remaining troops were selected to surrender, and the fifth and sixth divisions were formed, but these two divisions, one was transferred to Osaka and the other to Sendai, and they had long since disappeared.
"The immortal merit is none other than the king of Shanxian County!" Yama County Youpeng still wanted to prevaricate, but Takumi Takizawa directly set it for him.
There is a relative in everything, Takizawa Takumi is also a person from the mercenary division, and he makes decisions with his heels, and he will not let Uesugi Yuyuki and Wulin be the only ones to go to the thunder. Immediately saw that Shangwen was another layer behind, but the first good baby who surrendered to Cheng should still be taken care of. Youpeng in Shan County turned out to be an enemy, and after surrendering, he was a little daughter-in-law, and he didn't go to Lei.
"Thank you for your tolerance!" Yama County Youpeng's smile was very bitter.
"Good! All units feint and fully cooperate with the 4th Division to take Meiji! Takizawa Takumi pulled Tachimi back at the last moment.
The plan has been decided, and there are friends in the county who are unwilling to do so, so they can only carry out the order. Tatsumi Naofumi stood with Asano Munehide, Takizawa Takumi and others completely, and watched the big play start very happily. When the battle really started, the remnants of the city had no power to fight back, and the Fourth Division only took half a day to attack Tokyo. The envisioned street fight was simply a beautiful one, and the remnants of the soldiers almost fell in despair. And not everyone is Saigo Takamori, everyone can see death as home, and there are not so many heroes in this world.
After attacking the inner castle of the Imperial Palace, Yama Prefecture Aritomo very much hoped that Iwakura Gushi, Sanjo Minoru and other ministers would cut their stomachs, hoping that Meiji would also commit suicide, at least to avoid the embarrassment when he saw these people again. However, the ending made Shan Shan Youpeng very disappointed, the princess is the minister, and the royal family is not a samurai. All of these nobles lived proudly, and then they were captured alive, and not one of them tried to escape the shame of being captured by death. The only samurai who committed suicide were Tokugawa Yoshiki and Matsudaira Yoho.
There are friends in Shan County who are hiding far away, and I haven't seen any of them, but I really met, and Friends in Shan County really don't know how to deal with themselves. Out of respect for the old lord and the former governors, Youpeng in Shanxian gave these captives good treatment, and even left a maid to take care of them. When Takumi Takizawa entered Kyoto and announced the complete demise of the Meiji regime, Yamaguchi Youpeng thought that he could be freed, but he didn't think that Takumi Takizawa threw him a big thunder again.
"Shan Shanjun is really hard work! I will put the icing on the cake and give Shanshan Jun another credit. His Majesty the Emperor and the Shogun have arrived in Tokyo, ready to take down the Meiji puppet emperor and the rebellious ministers. These people were captured by the Yamatar-kun, and the Yamagu-kun escorted them to Tokyo to repay His Majesty the Emperor and the shogun! Takizawa Takumi has the face that Lao Tzu is the best person in the world, but Shan County Youpeng is completely dumbfounded.
Takumi Takizawa is really ruthless! Not only did he have to bear the infamy of capturing Meiji and the ministers, but he also wanted to pull him out of the exhibition, for fear that he would not be scolded hard enough by the Japanese. Yama Prefecture Yutomo pulled Meiji and walked from Kyoto to Tokyo, at best, it was called a declaration of martial arts, and when it was ugly, it was called a parade in the streets. Meiji, the king of the dead country, wants to parade the streets, and the county has a friend, the second minister, who has a friend, also has to go through the street, and the county has a friend who has the heart to commit suicide.
If Goxinga really wants to see Meiji and send an airship over, it will take less than two hours for people to reach him, so why let the Yama Prefecture have friends all the way over. The purpose of this escort is to publicize and completely extinguish the fire of resistance in the hearts of the Japanese, and to put an end to the bad things of the birdmen rebelling in the name of Meiji. At the same time, you can also tease those remnants of the Meiji era, such as Hirobumi Ito, who suddenly disappeared. These must find a way to rescue Meiji, and it is the best way to lure them out and kill them by taking this opportunity.
"Yamasan-kun, have we arrived in Shizuoka?" Meiji's mood has been very stable along the way, but there is always something to talk to Yamaguchi Youpeng.
"Yes, nobleman!" Yama Prefecture Youpeng really wanted to avoid Meiji, but he really couldn't dodge, so he could only prevaricate. The most troublesome thing for him is to call Meiji, it is definitely not possible to call the emperor, and it is really every charter to call others, and can only be replaced by nobles.
"When I moved the capital, I went to Shizuoka, and the cherry blossoms here are beautiful. The cherry blossoms are gorgeous! Just like Saigo Takamori-sensei, a samurai-like flower, loyal and white! "There are some unclear things in Meiji's words every time, to put it bluntly, there are friends in Dianshan County, and I hope that this second minister can repent.
Meiji's cautious eye was not at all, he had already discovered that the fourth division escorting him was all Japanese, and there were very few people in the mercenary division who were tainted with Manchurian habits. Therefore, Meiji is committed to plotting against Yama Prefecture Youpeng, as long as Yamayama Prefecture Somemo leads this army anyway, Meiji will still have a lot to do, and it is not impossible to rule the world again. Meiji didn't know much about the person Yama Yama Youtomo, but he knew that during the Boshin War, Yama Prefecture Aritomo contributed a lot, at least he had a deep affection for the Meiji government.
"Your Excellency, I'll be in Tokyo soon!" Youpeng in Shanxian County fled again, and he had long lost the capital to rebel.
