Kyoto Prefecture, in a dwelling.

This house has also collapsed under the influence of the earthquake.

In the courtyard, there were many people sitting, including gray-haired old people, middle-aged people who were not very old, and even young people, with a large number of people. One of them was the first to speak: "Li Zhen supported the heart palace to ascend the throne, and something like an earthquake immediately occurred, which is clearly a sign given by the heavens, and a punishment for Li Zhen's reckless guidance in Japan. I think that's our chance. ”

"Li Zhen is not easy to deal with, don't you remember what happened in the hall that day? Anyone who opposed Li Zhen was shot. I believe that we should adopt an appropriate strategy in order to force Li Zhen to return to power. However, we should try to use gentle means, once the measures are too drastic, it will cause a strong backlash from Li Zhen, which is not good for us. In addition, the earthquake in Kyoto Prefecture has affected the people, and at this juncture, if we still have to come hard, we will definitely be affected in the end. ”

"Hmph, can this help? You have to make Li Zhen scared. ”

The people in the courtyard chattered and kept talking, and determined the next strategy.

……

Li Zhen lived in the Imperial Palace and continued to provide help to the people affected by the disaster in Kyoto Prefecture. With Zhao Liewen in charge of supplying food, Zuo Zongtang leading the army to rescue, and Zeng Guofan leading the troops to defend the town, everything was carried out in an orderly manner and very smoothly.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, Zhao Liewen came to the palace.

He bowed slightly and said, "Lord Wang, there are rumors in the city, and something is wrong. ”

"What's the situation?" Li Zhen asked.

Zhao Liewen said: "Since last night, all over Kyoto Prefecture have been saying that the earthquake is because the princess inherited the throne of the emperor, and it is the princess who angers the heavens, so there will be an earthquake. This is a very ridiculous inference, but it has affected many people. Now, the story has spread and many people already know about it. ”

Li Zhen snorted and said, "There are still some people who are not convinced!" ”

Zhao Liewen smiled helplessly and continued: "After the news of the earthquake and the princess's succession to the throne spread, after the encouragement of well-intentioned people, many people gathered, and even some young people began to gather. If this matter evolves, it will definitely become the best. I have asked Sakamoto Kayo's Black Dragon Society to investigate, and I haven't gotten any news yet, so I can only wait. ”

Li Zhen tapped the table lightly with his right hand and suddenly smiled.

He said unappreciably: "Inform Zeng Guofan's army to be on alert, but anyone who provokes the army will be killed." As for the Japanese who gathered, don't stop it for the time being. Hmph, if they dare to come, Lao Tzu will dare to send troops to suppress it, to see whose people are powerful. After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "It is right to let Sakamoto Jiayang investigate, and we must find out who instigated it." ”

"Understood!"

Zhao Liewen turned to leave, already having a feeling that a storm was coming.

This time, Japan is afraid that it will have to carry out a major purge.

……

As time passed, people gradually emerged from the shadow of the earthquake and began to rebuild. It's just that the matter of the succession of the heart palace to the throne of the emperor has angered the heavens, and it has been spread to everyone. Privately, more and more people gathered, countless people were agitated, and a wave of anger began to form, pointing at Xingong one after another, wanting to force Xingong to abdicate, and completely forgetting who was helping them in disaster relief.

On the eighth day of the seventh month, on this day, the sky was overcast and gloomy, and the dark clouds were clustered one after another, and there was a feeling that the black clouds were pressing down on the city.

Countless people came out of their homes and gathered in the streets.

The leader held up a banner and led everyone towards the location of the palace.

"Li Zhen left Japan, and Xingong abdicated!!"

The person standing at the front was the first to shout.

This man was the leader of all the people, and as soon as he shouted, countless people immediately echoed him with a loud voice. All the people were agitated, and they all thought that Shingu was not fighting for the emperor and wanted to overthrow Shingu. They kept yelling, they kept yelling, it was like a parade.

This news reached the palace in the shortest possible time.

Li Zhen got the news and immediately summoned Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang.

Zuo Zongtang bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, the Japanese are white-eyed wolves that can't be raised, no matter how they are fed, he is hard-hearted. In this earthquake, we opened warehouses to distribute food and relief to the people, and I don't know how many people survived because of our help. Now these people don't know how to attack you, I think that there is no need to take care of these people, and troops should be deployed to suppress them. Massive shocks. And, machine guns should be called in for use. ”

A look of unbearability appeared on Zeng Guofan's face, but he did not speak.

He had already gotten the news through Zhao Liewen about this matter, and he did not stand up to dissuade him.

The people of Little Japan are looking for death, and no one else is to blame.

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, and finally said: "It is allowed to use machine guns to strafe, and if necessary, you can even use grenades, etc." However, I hope that at the beginning, I will mainly persuade the people, after all, I don't want to shed a river of blood in Japan. ”

"Don't worry, I understand."

Zuo Zongtang smiled and immediately went down to prepare.

Outside the gate of the palace, Zuo Zongtang had already led the troops to arrange a cordon, and also prepared to resist the horses, so that the soldiers could guard it to prevent the Japanese people from attacking. It didn't take long for the incited people to approach the outside of the palace.

"Li Zhen left Japan, and the heart palace abdicated!"

The shouts came out one after another. Especially the closer they got to the palace gate, the more excited the people seemed to become, and the roar shook the sky. At this time, Li Zhen had already come to the city tower, and he looked at the dense crowd of people outside the city, with a gloomy face, which was very unpleasant. How ironic that the people he was giving great relief would come and make trouble. Especially after the people arrived at the place where the horses were rejected, they were not satisfied, and they actually wanted to destroy the wooden horses and rush forward.

"Brothers, let's smash them with eggs, throw things, and smash them to death!"

In the crowd, there was a sudden shout.

This sentence drove countless people, but I saw that one by one Japanese people actually took out eggs, vegetables and other things and threw them out quickly. Some of the eggs smashed on the soldier's body and immediately cracked, and the yolk and egg white flowed out, leaving heavy marks on the clothes. The soldiers in charge of the guard warned again and again, but the people were still disobedient and rushed forward fearlessly. The soldiers guarding the town reminded again, but to no avail, and finally resolutely retreated ten meters, set up machine guns, and aimed at the people who were using them.

"Shoot!"

With a loud shout, I suddenly remembered.

"Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!!! ”

Dense bullets shot out of machine guns and lightning-fast into the crowd. The sound of puff and puff came out, and one by one the people fell in a pool of blood, unable to get up again.
