Chapter 124: Behind-the-Scenes Deals
Carl watched the White Flag team approach the castle tower, and immediately saw the aging Jin Shi family elder, "I didn't expect you to come in person, it's really positive." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What are you waiting for if you are not active at this time...... Do you want to wait for the Edo people to die......"
"Well, what the hell are you doing here?"
"On behalf of the Oda family, I support the leadership of Emperor Kuho and have come to take refuge." Seeing the stunned look of Carl on the other side, Jin Shi could only smile bitterly, "Don't doubt my sincerity, the Oda family and Edo can't hold it anymore." ”
In fact, as the old man of the Jin Shi family said, the Oda family did not have a designated successor in the first place, and Nobunaga's sons and nephews were all useless waste, and there were a few girls with good qualifications, but unfortunately the age was too young.
The family is unreliable, and there is no need to count on the separation of the family or anything - in the battle between the narrow barrels of the year, the returning Nobunaga raised the butcher's knife and cleaned up the division well, so that it has not been relieved now.
The Oda family was like this, and the Edo shogunate had no good way, especially the civilian faction headed by Jin Shi, which had far fewer troops at hand than the military commanders, which was why they had no way to stop the civil strife in Edo.
"I see, it seems that there is nothing you can do...... If you want to join His Majesty Jiufeng's camp, shouldn't you come up with something? ”
“…… Of course, I know that we captured more than 300 enemies, as well as several generals, such as Kondo Haku, Fujiko Fujiko, ......."
"Good vote, but not enough!"
“…… The 200,000 taels of silver, 3,000 pairs of ashigaru armor and corresponding weapons, the shogunate's civil official family fully supported Emperor Jiuho, are these enough? ”
Carl was once again suppressed, he didn't expect these suppressed civil officials to have so much money, and there was always a feeling of robbing a big dog!
Jin Shijia stared at Carl closely, and found that the other party did not respond, and his face became a little ugly, so he could only take out something to please Carl.
"Ahem...... All of the above were given to His Majesty the Emperor, as well as 50,000 pieces of silver, three sets of generals' residences as gifts, and of course 500 servants were given free of charge to the adults...... Rest assured, these people's salaries are all paid by the civilian authorities. ”
"Deal! If all of you in the shogunate are as knowledgeable as you, Your Majesty's great cause will be just around the corner! ”
“…… Hehe. ”
The behind-the-scenes PY deal is over, Kim gets the promise he wants, Carl accepts a handsome bribe, and it's time to end the civil strife in Edo.
After all, the Eastern Army outside the city was still waiting for support.
After the civil officials and Karl and them merged, the other forces in Edo Castle began to be surrounded and suppressed, and for a time it was like a volcano erupting!
With roars, wails, explosions, the clash of swords and the roar of artillery fire, the attackers and defenders quickly fell into an extremely fierce and arduous struggle.
The remnants of the general's faction frantically resisted the enemy's killing in order to survive, but the casualties caused by the aerial bombardment were too severe, and the tired soldiers had to disperse to various battlefields, fighting with the Eastern Army on the wreckage, fighting in the alleys, and fighting in the houses.
Volleys with muskets, bombardment with front-loading bronze cannons, slashing with knives and axes, and even sharpening with bamboo to thrust......
But it is useless, with enough cannon fodder, the veterans of the Eastern Army can calmly give full play to their shooting advantages, and even if they resist, they will be killed with rifles.
In this way, after the initial period of panic and panic, the Eastern Army gradually took control of the situation.
I have to say that desperate recovery is futile, when the husband, son and even the father who are in front of them are either killed or captured, the women in the inner house bravely rush out.
Then they were quickly put down, and the ugly-looking ones were immediately executed, and more Edo daughters were dragged into the house, screaming in despair and praprapra with their bodies, and the scene was truly terrifying.
"Sir Karl! As the sweep in the East Sector comes to an end, and the recalcitrant rebels have been executed, what will happen to the captives? ”
"Leave it to Lord Jinshi's troops to take care of, remember not to kill too much cannon fodder, the admiral is still waiting for our reinforcements!"
"Understood!"
"Sir! We have contacted the Edo Concession, and they thank us for our help, but there is still a threat of pirates in the open sea, so we can only send a rifle team of 500 men to follow the battle. ”
"The information is transferred to the commander of the Far East Fleet, General Vivien, and let that rifle team join the clearance sequence, we are running out of time!"
"Yes!"
In such a high-intensity battle, the rebel forces in Edo Castle were quickly resolved, and the cleared marines immediately called for a fleet bombardment as soon as they encountered obstacles.
No matter how strong the ground defense is, the fortress will be solved in an instant by the aerial bombardment, and those necromantic bombs are so powerful that no one will survive at all.
"Very well, it looks like no one can stop us anymore, tell the fleet to stop the bombing and let them go to the aid of Admiral Lorraine."
Looking at Carl's high-spirited appearance, as well as the bloodthirsty Eastern Army soldiers around him, Jin Shi's old family's face became more and more pale.
Although the decisiveness of the Shogunate kept most of the civilian faction alive, the number of troops in the civilian faction increased to 30,000 due to the successive routs and defectors of the military commander's faction.
However, the price was so great that almost the entire Edo was razed to the ground, especially Edo's most famous song and dance.
The Oirans of the past are now fleeing in all directions by the rebels, and of course, more of them have fallen to the evil laughter of the men.
Silently praying for their plight for a second, the old Jin Shi family no longer remembered these pains, anyway, there were several more Oiran and beautiful embryos in his inner house, and no one would talk nonsense.
"Lord Shingo, thanks to you for the suppression in Edo Castle, I don't know what the next arrangements will be?"
"Arrangement? Go outside the city and take out those rebels, of course! "Carl looked excited, as long as the besieging enemy army was defeated, the actual rule of the Nine Phoenix Emperor could become a reality, of course he had to send troops quickly!
"Yes...... It's just that after this catastrophe in the city, I really don't know if we can come up with the most troops to help......"
Jin Shi's speed of speech was very slow, but what it revealed was that we really couldn't get troops with heavy casualties, so it was better to make a deal, right?
"Not enough troops? How could it be...... It would be nice to hand it all over to the concession troops, or rather...... Are there still some rebels in Edo Castle who don't obey orders and need to be suppressed? ”
The big hat must not be hard pressed down, especially when Carl looked at himself with a smile, Jin Shi knew that the idea of retaining strength could not be realized.
"Hey...... I didn't say that, I'll talk to the others and send 10,000 troops to help......"
"It's not a discussion, it's an order! Absolute order! And the number of troops must not be less than 20,000, otherwise you will have to explain to Emperor Jiufeng and Admiral Lorraine yourself! ”
“…… Hi, follow your orders. ”
That's it, when it comes to unreasonable bastards, no matter how neat the civil official's mouth is, it will not help.
Stand up obediently, phew, obediently and obediently send troops to fight is the right thing to do.
