Chapter 739: Destroying the Yanagi Family (Part II)
Zuo Zongtang asked the soldiers to surround the Yanagi family's mansion, which immediately attracted the attention of the samurai in the mansion.
After all, the Yagyu family is a big family with a long history.
The strength of the Yagyu family was almost accompanied by the Tokugawa shogunate, and the family heritage was extremely deep. When the soldiers surrounded, the elders of the Yagyu clan immediately reacted, ordering the samurai in the mansion to gather, and a wave of samurai ran out of the mansion, and then guarded various positions in the mansion and began to prepare for battle.
A gray-haired old man walked out, hunched on his back, but with a terrifying momentum. This man's name is Yagyu Okamoto, and he is the patriarch of the Yagyu family.
He leaned on crutches and said in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”
A samurai ran over and reported, "My lord, there are countless soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom outside the mansion, and they have surrounded the mansion. Look at the appearance, and immediately attack. The samurai had already seen the situation outside the mansion, especially when he saw the deployment of troops outside, and the samurai's face was full of worried expressions.
Yanagi Okamoto said in a deep voice: "Immediately ask the reason, why did the army of the Great Qing Kingdom surround the Yanagi family?" ”
Yanagi Okamoto ordered, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart. Rao is that he is used to seeing the world, and he doesn't even put the emperor in his eyes, but when the army of the Great Qing Kingdom comes, Yanagi Okamoto does not dare to ignore it. He swept his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the little hero of Yanagi?" Let him roll over at once. What about Taro Yanagi, is he dead? When the family is at a critical juncture, none of them are there, what kind of system has it become. ”
"My lord, the little hero of Yanagi and Taro Yanagi have gone to see Li Zhen." A samurai said.
Yanagi Okamoto chuckled in his heart, and suddenly knew that it was not good.
Different samurai shouted, he had already guessed. If Yagyu Little Hero and Taro Yanagi Hara visit Li Zhen make progress, it will definitely not be the current situation. At present, the Qing army is surrounding the mansion of the Yanagi family, and it must be the problem of the little hero of Yanagi and Taro Yanagi Hara, which will lead to today's situation.
Yanagi Okamoto's heart lifted and he said loudly: "Immediately gather all the samurai in the palace to break through and run towards the place where the emperor lives, avoiding Li Zhen's army." ”
"Boom!!"
As he spoke, there was a bombardment at the door.
Immediately, the gate shook violently. Yanagi Okamoto stared at the gate tightly, his heart hung up, and he shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, you must guard the gate, and you must not let the gate be breached." At this moment, Yanagioka only wanted to gather the samurai quickly and rush out together.
Outside the house, Zuo Zongtang was ordering soldiers to use grenades to bombard.
A bundle of grenades was thrown at the gate, and it exploded with a bang.
This time, the power is increased by a multiplier of the set.
The gate was blown into sawdust and flew everywhere.
Liu Jintang held the pistol and yelled: "Rush in and kill all the little devils!" ”
He roared, and his soldiers, instigated by him, rushed in with a scream, gunfire and shouts of killing. The soldiers entered the house and cut down anyone they saw. The samurai in the palace resisted, but in the face of the soldiers' rush and the difference in weapons between the two sides, the samurai of the Yanagi family could not stop it. Yagyu Okamoto has not yet figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and has already been killed.
In an hour and a half, the Yanagi family was completely wiped out, and no one remained.
Zuo Zongtang instructed: "Take out all the money!" ”
Liu Jintang said with a smile: "Don't worry, commander, it's impossible to forget this matter." I have already begun to have the soldiers search for money and bring out all the gold, silver and jewelry from the house. ”
Zuo Zongtang nodded and waited outside.
Time was fast, and the soldiers under Zuo Zongtang emptied the money of the Yanagi family and ordered the soldiers to set fire.
Under a fire, the smoke billows from the Yanagi family's house and it falls into flames.
Zuo Zongtang ordered the troops to be collected, and ordered the soldiers to carry boxes of silver and rush towards the location of the warship. Back on the battleship, Zuo Zongtang counted all the silver and found that there were millions of taels of silver, grinning, feeling extremely excited and full of a sense of accomplishment.
Next, Zuo Zongtang quickly came to Li Zhen's residence, he saw Li Zhen in the study, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, the Liusheng family is completely wiped out, and the confiscated money has been sealed and ready to be put into storage, you can take a look at the bill." After that, Zuo Zongtang handed over the confiscated money to Li Zhen and let Li Zhen be responsible for this matter.
After Li Zhen finished reading it, he praised it before letting Zuo Zongtang leave.
Word spread about the destruction of the Yanagi family, and the Great Lang was immediately set off in Nagasaki. But Li Zhen is the prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the Liu Sheng family is an initiative provocation that is beyond his strength, and he ended up exterminating the clan, and there are not many people who sympathize with him.
……
The Miyamoto family, in the hall.
At this moment, the heads of the Miyamoto family, as well as the elders of the clan, the heads of the clan, and other leaders all gathered to discuss important matters. This time, the meeting was presided over by the patriarch of the Miyamoto family, Yoshihiko Miyamoto, and Miyamoto Taiken stood next to him to assist Yoshihiko Miyamoto in handling things.
Miyamoto Yoshihiko's gaze swept over everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I gathered everyone together to discuss the next direction of the family. Many of the uncles and seniors present knew that Miyamoto Taijian and Li Zhen were connected. This time, Miyamoto Taijian went to visit Li Zhen and obtained Li Zhen's promise that Li Zhen would fully support the family and promote the family to replace the Tokugawa family in one fell swoop and become the largest family in Japan. What are your thoughts on this? ”
"Patriarch, I agree!" A person in charge of the family immediately said.
"I also agree, it is our blessing to be able to go online with Li Zhen, the king of Zhennan, and we can cooperate."
"I approve of the inclination to work with Li Zhen, which is a good idea. However, I have to be skeptical, because Li Zhen has great strength, why did he have to support us to take the Tokugawa shogunate? Among them, will there be any ulterior secrets? I hope we can be cautious so as not to fall into the trap. ”
"Patriarch, the old man is against it!" In the midst of many voices of support, an old man stood up and said.
This person's name is Miyamoto Leng Ming, who is in charge of the family's punishment, and as soon as he speaks, the atmosphere immediately changes.
Seeing this, Miyamoto Yoshihiko's expression did not change.
From the very beginning, he knew that there would be various situations, even in the case of a big fight at a meeting. At the moment, only one Miyamoto Leng Ming stood up against it, and Miyamoto Yoshihiko felt a little happy in his heart, because the matter was not intense. It's just that the smile on Yoshihiko Miyamoto's face has not disappeared, and another person has stood up and is against cooperating with Li Zhen.
For a time, the people in the hall were divided into two factions, the first was to support cooperation with Li Zhen; The second was against cooperating with Li Zhen, and the two sides argued endlessly, and the hall was extremely chaotic and fiercely quarreled.
The situation became a mess and out of control.
Miyamoto Taijian frowned and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, some stubborn elements who do not want to make progress have really come out. Your expected goal is not done well, and the number of people who oppose it is not a small number. ”
Yoshihiko Miyamoto nodded and said in a low voice: "It's true that a lot is missing, but we have to agree on it anyway." The more people who oppose it, the more we deal with it together, and it also saves a lot of trouble for the future. 'ps: the third shift, call it a day;
