Chen Han is getting closer and closer to the big day, and at this time, there is news that the protest crowd was brutally suppressed by the military and police, and more than 300 people died, which is definitely big news.

The intelligence system and the diplomatic organs immediately informed the country, and the newspapers in the country immediately received the news.

……

On the same day, Yamamoto Takeoka, the commander of the Kyoto garrison, received the news of the outbreak of the march in Kyoto Castle, immediately gathered his troops, and at the same time ordered the defenders in Kyoto Castle to be on strict alert.

When the gunshots rang out, when a large number of soldiers armed with sticks pounced into the crowd like wolves and slashed and killed, the marchers who had gathered on the street suddenly scattered and fled like a storm of fish hunted by giant whales, and the scene was extremely chaotic, many people were pushed to the ground, trampled, and many even rushed towards the government in a panic.

But where would Okubo Tadashi let these 'traitors' rush into the government, "Shoot, shoot, shoot me!" ”

He also did not hesitate to give the order to the guard troops to shoot, and in order to prevent the government from being attacked, he specially mobilized half a brigade of troops to the government early this morning.

Another burst of gunfire rang out, and then a large group of Japanese soldiers rushed forward like hungry wolves, each holding sticks and beating people when they saw them, and beating them when they saw those who stood up. A group of marching 'leaders', including Akifumi Tomita, were all taken into custody one by one.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the crowd was chaotic, Takashi Takashi, Tadashi Ichijo, Mishima and others retreated into the gate one after another, only Okubo Tadashi stood alone in the distance, looking at the people crying for his father and mother with disdain, and even more disdainful of the people standing behind them. It took great effort to organize a group of such waste snacks, which shows that they themselves are also a group of mallets.

It took two or three hours for the chaos to come under control. After all, there are tens of thousands of people, and how many people have been killed by shooting before and after, and it will take a long, long time to disperse and arrest these people. In addition, it seems that the government officials in Kyoto Castle are also going to clean it up. With so many people marching, the procession drove directly to the door of the government, and Okubo Tadashi knew that there could be no ghosts among them.

Then it didn't take long for Takeoka Yamamoto, dressed in a black military uniform, to drive in with the guards.

"General Yamamoto has arrived!"

In the conference room, the people who had been before were now back in their seats. Hearing the shouts outside, many individuals subconsciously straightened their bodies.

Yamamoto Takeoka, the supreme commander of the Kyoto garrison, General Yamamoto who had just been in office for two months.

The origin has long been known to everyone, and the backer behind it is very hard, because the backer is directly in Nanjing. Before this year, Takeoka Yamamoto had not been in the Japanese army, but he had no substantive duties, and he was a warrior who had been fighting on the front line.

From joining the security team at the age of less than 20, to joining the standing team at the age of 20, and then for the next 20 years, he was non-stop, moving to the southeast and northwest, and he did not take off his uniform. Now he is just forty years old, and he is already one of the few generals in the Japanese army, if it weren't for the work done by the shogunate - his parents, they would have been from Shangguo for a long time, and they are definitely the banner figures among the Japanese soldiers of Shangguo.

Takeoka Yamamoto had many friends in the Wehrmacht, and many of them were in high positions.

He was seriously wounded in the battle this spring, so he returned to Japan to recuperate, first as a member of the Shogun's Praetorian Guard, and then sent to Kyoto after his injuries had fully recovered.

The entire Kyoto garrison is a fully equipped brigade, with two main battle wings and one reserve wing, plus artillery and attached to the central auxiliary troops, with a total strength of tens of thousands of troops. How many troops are there in the whole of Japan? So Yamamoto Takeoka is just a general, but he is a real big man in Japan, and in the hearts of the shogun, his status is definitely much more important than Okubo Tadashi, and his power is much greater. Although nominally he was under the jurisdiction of Tadashi Okubo.

The situation is under control, but that doesn't mean it's over. The people hiding inside are already thinking about how to deal with the aftermath. Although they did not see the entire crackdown with their own eyes, many of them heard with their own ears that Tadashi Okubo ordered the shooting, and they did not know how many people died in the march and how many were taken into custody.

And this order to shoot was given by Takeoka Yamamoto first. This master has been in Kyoto for almost two months, but he has always been stealth as a tablet, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got started, he immediately gave all of them a dismount.

They are now guessing how many people who marched were killed by this 'dismount'.

None of the people here are simple characters, and they don't see things only in Japan, they know the current days, and if this matter spreads to the west, ...... no one can say whether there will be trouble.

Takeoka Yamamoto is a fighter who came out of the team, and his feelings for China do not need to be said. It was it that changed the fate of his lower-class samurai family, as a low-class samurai background, if he only struggled in Japan, how could he get to where he is today? Many of the top officials of the Japanese army were born into high-ranking samurai families, or were themselves descendants of the shogunate and local daimyos. Just like Japan in the original time and space, aren't the people of the Chrysanthemum family also in high positions one by one? Even though they won't really go to the battlefield and won't really control the troops on the front line, there are still many people who have a strong influence in the Japanese army like Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya. It's the same in Japan today.

So after Okubo Tadashi informed him, Yamamoto Takeoka made a decision without hesitation, even if he knew that Okubo Tadashi was intentionally using him as a shield, Yamamoto Takeoka didn't care. Anyway, the shogunate has always asked him to give a little expression, so this time it should be a vote.

Yamamoto Takeoka did not hesitate to order a shooting suppression, and at least 200 people were killed and wounded in the crowd of gunfire before and after.

Moreover, the gunfire and the strong crackdown by the military and police plunged the city into a state of chaos for a short time. A few ruffians took advantage of the chaos to loot, until Yamamoto Takeoka's follow-up troops entered the city, and with the cooperation of the police, they suppressed it with all their might, which restored order to the whole city.

How many people are there in Kyoto?

This time, there was a large march of 10,000 people, and it was successfully pushed in front of the government, and there will be no shortage of moths under the hands of Tadashi Okubo.

"What three hundred and nine?"

Yamamoto Takeoka came with a summary of the specific circumstances of the whole incident, this time the Kyoto military police arrested a total of 532 people, anyway, watching the parade crowd jumping and active, greeting and shouting, or dressed well, then they were all arrested, and the entire prison was stuffed. But this number has not been slandered by everyone, even if a thousand people are arrested?

More than 200 people were taken to the hospital, of course, no longer with minor injuries. There were three hundred and nine corpses.

The people in the conference room were already mentally prepared for the casualties, but when they heard that more than 200 people had been sent to the hospital and 309 corpses, they couldn't help but gasp. There are more than 500 casualties, and this is going to make big news.

"General Yamamoto, this matter is not easy to deal with. That's more than 500 casualties and more than 300 lives. "Ichijo Tadashi couldn't sit still, this Yamamoto Takeoka and Okubo Tadashi are not from Kyoto, and it's a big deal to leave; But he wants to stay in Kyoto for a long time, and his family needs to live here for generations. There are also Takaji Masashi and Anzai Mishima, they are the same, they can't do without Kyoto City, such a big matter involves them, if it causes public resentment, they can't afford it.

More than 500 people were killed or wounded, and nine out of the first ten here were Kyoto people, which is equivalent to hundreds of families behind them. Burdened with the hatred of hundreds of families, they are not willing to carry such a black cauldron.

It's just clear that Takeoka Yamamoto doesn't care about the casualties at all. When he was in the South Seas, he was in India, and when he was in the Americas, three or five hundred dead and wounded were counted as a ball?

Yamamoto Takeoka listened expressionlessly to the complaints and prevarications of the people in the conference room, and he firmly believed that those who oppose Sino-Japanese friendship and persecute the government are thugs! And if you are a thug, why can't you kill it?

A sneer appeared directly on Yamamoto Takeoka's face.

Okubo Tadashi is really not so domineering, he is older than Yamamoto Takeoka, decades of officialdom experience makes him not surprised by the situation in front of him, they are all old foxes who are proficient in human affairs, and no one wants to take responsibility other than their own responsibilities.

For example, if Anzai Mishima could buy out the number of participants in today's meeting with money, he would be willing to pay 100,000 yen.

Don't look at the repressive order from Yamamoto Takeoka and Okubo Tadashima, but in the eyes of outsiders, the iron-blooded and ruthless order was decided by everyone in this room.

The big black cauldron was now fastened to their backs.

Therefore, if there is a regret medicine in this world, Anzai Mishima would rather buy one for 100,000 yen, then make himself sick, and finally send a family representative over.

Now they don't let the black cauldron on their backs get bigger and thicker.

"General Yamamoto, this matter must be reported to Edo as soon as possible, no matter what! In addition, I have heard that the general has many contacts with the officials of the embassy in Japan, so I wonder if the general can contact the embassy and ask them to raise their noble hands. "Okubo is not expecting China not to send news to the country, but just to relax a little bit and then give them a little more bias in the intelligence narrative.

There is no need to make it obvious, just a complete narrative of some 'facts'.

Takeoka Yamamoto smiled smugly, he has a deep relationship with China. Although there are some people in the Japanese military and politics who regard him as China's infiltration of Japan's rights and describe him as Japan's Chinese lackey, Yamamoto Takeoka does not care at all.

He is not a lackey of the Chinese, but a Japanese friend of China, don't think that he lost the dignity of a samurai to climb to a high position, and the position of general was fought by him battle after battle. He is a Japanese, not a Chinese. As an adult, Takeoka Yamamoto has his own three views on life. He will not betray his homeland.

When he decided to return to Japan, Yamamoto Takeoka had already figured it out. Those Japanese who looked at him with colored glasses were all rats with small bellies, and maybe they still deeply envied the strong Chinese color on his body behind their backs.

Therefore, Yamamoto Takeoka did not hide anything at all, and answered Okubo Tadashi in the conference room directly: "Okubo-kun, please rest assured, before sending troops, I have already contacted the Chinese consulate in Kyoto. "Everything is in plain sight. Okubo was overjoyed when he heard this.

……

The speed and debriefing of the incident was indeed delayed a little, as Okubo had hoped, and the narrative of the report was more inclined to the Kyoto government. But it always reached Chen Ming's hands.

The government in power has cracked down on demonstrations and killed and injured more than 500 people. Wherever the people are, they will subconsciously point the finger at the government in power.

Just like the Peterloo Massacre in England, if the lid was tightly closed, the news would not have reached the whole world. The reason is simple, the constraints and limitations of the times. This is the early 19th century, not the 21st century of the information explosion.

But the news was widely reported by the Chinese-controlled media, and it still nailed the British government to the pillar of shame.

Just as China controls some newspapers in Europe, either openly and transparently or in secret, Europeans also control some newspapers and magazines in China, Japan, and Siam. China can make the Petrus massacre known to the whole world, and add fuel to the fire, so that the image of the British in the Eastern world is greatly discounted; Then the Europeans could also pour basins of black and ink-like sewage on the heads of the Japanese, and then drag them out of China by the way.

In this matter, Chen Han must cover the lid here, and in addition, he must communicate with the Europeans in the official face.

Of course, there is a big premise. Japan must hold on.

"Tell Tokugawa Ishige that this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible and not leave hidden dangers."

Chen Ming threw the report on several cases, and he didn't want to care about it. It's still the Great Northwest that worries him more. As the time approached, Chen Ming did not feel how great the temptation of power was for him, on the contrary, it was still a battlefield in the northwest.

It's like shrimp chips in a hot oil pan, and they swell up several times with a bang! Now he doesn't even pay much attention to the Americas.

So, move your mouth at the top and break your leg at the bottom. Chen Ming only conveyed his own intentions, but how to do it, how to communicate with Japan, with European countries, and with major domestic newspapers, that is the matter of the cabinet and intelligence agencies.

But it's really a rush together. It was not absolutely stable and peaceful in Nanjing during these days, and some unclean things ran in. Some of the rats have been caught, but some of them have only been caught in the net. The police and intelligence agencies are even more convinced that there must still be rats hidden in this huge capital that have not been caught......
