Kaori Mochizuki joined everyone, and she was about to rush into the alley next to her, but suddenly saw Da Saharu Okoharu.

At this time, the ranks of the military police had completely collapsed under the attack of the Iga ninja Lei Yan Bullet who joined the battlefield later, and the two policemen rushed over and grabbed a pair of arms of Osaharu Sadaharu, dragging him back in shock, and in front of the human barrier formed by the covering policemen, Kaori Mochizuki raised his left hand and aimed at Osaharu with a revolver.

With a dull thud, a bullet whizzed out of the barrel with a silencer and into the back muscles of Da Saharu.

Dasako felt a sharp pain in the shoulder blades of his back, and he turned around and saw the female ninja in black, looking at him coldly.

Da Saharu's eyes fell on the revolver with a thick barrel in her hand, at this time his gun was empty, too late to load, he subconsciously looked around, trying to find a gun, but before he could find the target, the gun in the female ninja's hand rang out again.

Two lines of fire were fired, and the two policemen who were pulling him to escape by Da Forced Zhenqing fell in response.

The female ninja's gun seemed to run out of bullets, because she put away the gun, waved the long knife and rushed to this side, Da forced Sadaharu to pounce on the corpse of his subordinates like crazy, snatched a rifle, he picked up the rifle and was about to aim at the female ninja, but found that the other party had already rushed to the front.

Da Forced Zhenqing desperately pulled the trigger, and a tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, but the other party only flashed, and with a flick of the rifle with the tip of the knife, the shot of Da Forced Zhenqing was empty. Sadaharu roared, swung his rifle, and tried to use the bayonet on the rifle to pick the female ninja. But the female ninja had already stuck to his side. Raise your knife and stab directly. Pierced his shoulder at once.

The pain came, and Da Forced Zhenqing's rifle fell off his hand and fell to the ground, and his body collapsed to the ground at once.

At this time, the military and police were completely in a mess, and they were unable to form an army under the ninjas' fierce counterattack, and they scattered and fled in the sound of explosions.

The female ninja stepped forward and stomped on his chest. He drew his long knife and pressed it against his throat.

"Spare your life......" Osako Sadaharu felt the cold blade pierce the skin on his neck, he had never had such a close "intimate contact" experience with a katana, and for a while, his soul was not possessed, and he couldn't help but shout out such a sentence, completely without the majesty and demeanor of the Tokyo metropolitan police.

Kaori Mochizuki obviously didn't expect him to beg for mercy from him, first stunned for a moment, and then a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Spare me...... I...... Let them let you go......" Seeing that the female ninja in front of her stopped, the desire to survive took over everything for a while, and she trembled and said. "Please......"

Kaori Mochizuki didn't speak, just looked at him steadily. Slowly move the tip of the knife away from his throat.

Thinking that she was moved by her pleading, he was ecstatic, and he wanted to stand up straight, but the sharp pain from the gunshot wound and knife wound just now had made him lose his strength, and he could only lie there, gasping for breath.

At this time, he had already decided in his heart that if he could return alive this time, he must ask the emperor to send the most elite troops to completely exterminate these ninjas who had "caused disasters for hundreds of years, and especially now".

But just when he was still making wishful calculations, he suddenly found that the gaze of the female ninja in front of him became fierce.

He was about to speak again, when he saw the female ninja holding a knife in both hands and slashing at him.

The last thing Da Qiang Zhenqing saw was that the heavens and the earth were spinning.

Soon, as the military and police dispersed, the gunfire gradually subsided.

"This man is...... Da Forced Zhenqing, this thief! "An Iga ninja saw the head of Sadaharu Okoharu who had fallen to the ground and recognized his identity.

"I know it's him." Kaori Mochizuki glanced at the head and said lightly.

"This person actually begged for mercy before he died, and he has no backbone at all, compared to the Iwakura national thief, it is far worse." Another ninja said.

"Put his head on a stake, and write 'He who is a cocoon will bind himself.'" Kaori Mochizuki ordered, "Let the thieves see what happened to the executioners who slaughtered our people." ”

"Yes!"

……

"What happened?"

In the palace, Emperor Meiji looked at the large clouds of black smoke rising from the distant neighborhood, as well as the bursts of explosions and gunshots from time to time, but there was no panic in his eyes.

Seeing the emperor's performance like this, Ito Hirobumi's heart was full of relief.

In his eyes, the once cowardly and timid young master has really grown up.

Meiji Emperor Muhito was the only surviving son of Emperor Komei Tongren, who was raised in the palace from an early age and served by female officials. Because the history of close relatives of the Japanese imperial family is thousands of years, so most of the descendants of the imperial family are weak, and the same is true for Muhito, who was very timid when he was a child, and in the "Forbidden Gate Change" that occurred in the fourth year of Bunhisa, the Choshu feudal soldiers bombarded the imperial palace in Kyoto, and the 12-year-old Muhito was frightened unconscious by the sound of cannons, so that the courtiers were worried that if a similar incident happened in the future, such a weak and timid monarch would be scared to death immediately.

After the successful overthrow, Okubo Ritsu and Saigo Takamori began to carry out a major reform of the imperial court system, eliminating many female officials around the monarch and educating the young emperor in martial arts, in an effort to train him to become a young monarch who was open-minded, respectful of tradition, strong and strong in martial arts, and needed by the reformers. Judging from the performance of the current emperor, the results of the education of the reformists are still very obvious.

"It may be that there are thieves who are causing trouble." Hirofumi Ito replied vaguely.

Emperor Meiji turned his head to look at Ito Hirobumi, who lowered his head and bowed slightly.

Emperor Meiji, of course, understood what Hirobumi Ito meant by this, and sighed.

After the end of the Southwest War, in order to completely sweep away the power of the old scholars, the Japanese government launched a large-scale liquidation of the scholars who were committed to Saigo Takashi throughout the country, resulting in many people being convicted and imprisoned, and Ito Hirobumi has always been worried about the huge rift caused by the Southwest War to the Japanese people's hearts. It is believed that this will only exacerbate domestic contradictions. It is not conducive to Japan's peaceful development. Although the emperor agreed with Ito's suggestion that he repeatedly ask the emperor to stop it and call for the establishment of a "war bereaved family's consolation association" to appease the victims of the war, Ito's proposal has not been implemented to this day.

"Itoqing, I will do what you suggest, don't worry." Emperor Meiji said.

"Your Majesty's Imperial Grace is immense! The world is blessed! Ito bowed with some excitement.

At this moment, the chief of the guard hurriedly walked in.

Emperor Meiji noticed that the chief of the guard was pale. Knowing that something might have happened, he calmly asked, "What happened?" Is there a thief who is causing trouble? Has it been pacified? ”

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency Minister Iwakura...... Killed by thieves at home! The chief guard said in a trembling voice.

"What?" When Ito Hirofumi heard this, he was terrified for a while, and he only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and then his eyes were full of Venus.

"The right minister's house is heavily guarded, and I have sent additional guards, how can this still happen?" Emperor Meiji remained calm on the surface, but his voice had become hoarse.

"Your Majesty, this time...... Thieves are very rampant, and there are more than 100 people in the family guard of His Excellency the Right Minister. He was martyred with the right minister! The chief guard replied in a very painful voice, with his head hung down. When the big police saw the news, His Excellency led 300 military and police to go to the crusade, but the thieves were also scattered! His Excellency was also killed by thieves! The head is stuck on a stake! ”

......Hearing this news, which was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Emperor Meiji was amazed that he did not fall but remained calm.

"Who is the thief, have you found it?" Emperor Meiji asked.

"It is said that the thieves killed many people, but no bodies were found at the scene, so it is not ......known yet," the chief of the guard replied cautiously, "However, according to the maid of the right minister's house, when the thieves killed His Excellency the right minister, they asked and asked the right minister, saying that the dead ninja was revenge, and it was probably the ninja of Koga and Iga......"

"That is to say, it was Lin Yiqing who did it." Emperor Meiji muttered, a terror in his eyes, and he sat down in a chair as if he had some unsteadiness on his feet.

"He's ...... Demonstrating to the government? Ito Hirobumi thought about what Lin Yiqing might do, and his heart was full of chills.

"Ito-qing, I should have listened to you earlier." Emperor Meiji sighed, "The mistake made by Iwakura Qing is the same as that of Okubo......"

Thinking that Iwakura Gushi, who had died after dedicating himself to the prosperity of Japan, was no longer alive, Ito Hirobumi burst into tears for a while.

Lin Yiqing read the news of the death of Iwakura Gushi and Oko Sadaharu from the newspapers, and newspapers from various countries have made quite detailed reports on this major event that happened in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and Lin Yiqing knew that the Mochizuki sisters successfully completed the task.

What he was worried about now was the ninja's casualties.

Unlike what he expected, this time the ninjas took a strong attack instead of a secret attack - when the Mochizuki sisters were leaving, he gave them the task of assassinating Iwakura Gushi, but it cannot be ruled out that the situation has changed, the Japanese government has strengthened its defense, and the Mochizuki sisters have temporarily adjusted their plans - such a large-scale operation, casualties are inevitable, and he only hopes that the ninja casualties will not be too large.

Because the ninjas have always been secretive, and they have their own set of special methods for dealing with their own corpses, and never leave the corpses to the enemy, so about the casualties of the ninjas, newspapers in various countries are vague, some say that more than a dozen people were killed, some say five or six people, and some say that there are no casualties (this is unlikely), Lin Yiqing guessed that even if it was such a fierce battle, the ninjas should not have many casualties, maybe not more than ten, but now he has been on the ship, and he has not received a report, so he is a little uncertain.

Thinking that half of the heroes of Japan's Meiji Restoration had died directly or indirectly at his own hands, Lin Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little shocked by his "achievements", but his thoughts quickly turned back to Qianguo.

Japan is now half abolished, and it will take a long time to recover, and this time is the precious opportunity for the rise of the country!

However, the affairs of Qianguo are much more difficult to handle than those of Japan!

Since returning to Qianguo, what he has seen and heard has made him realize that the changes in Qianguo will make him pay more effort.

Compared with Japan, the ideological stupidity and conservatism of the country. It can be said that it is beyond his imagination before.

The traditional dynasties of Middle-earth have always been based on Confucianism. The core of his political doctrine is "rule by etiquette". The Qianchao Dynasty entered the Central Plains from outside the Guanwai. The inheritance of the tradition of "etiquette" has become the most important source of legitimacy for its rule, and naturally, the "rigidity" in etiquette is stronger than that of its predecessors, and there is less room for maneuver.

Foreign challenges to the tradition of etiquette and governance of the Qian-dynasty began in the 58th year of Jeonlong, when the British Magorny Mission came to Qian. Under the traditional tributary system, the Great Qian court regarded itself as the "co-lord of the world". What the Magornies were seeking, on the other hand, was an improvement in the terms of trade under a diplomacy of equality. The method of the Ministry of Rites, which was in charge of the affairs of the vassals, was to tamper with other people's diplomatic documents without authorization when translating them, in accordance with the needs of the "tributary" system.

The document can be changed according to the meaning you like, and the "Yiren" can't understand it anyway; But when it really came to the juncture when it was necessary for the "Yi people" to kneel and knock the emperor of the Middle Earth Dynasty, they could not help but show their feet. But the word game still had to be played, and the Magourny mission met with the Jeon Long Emperor with the etiquette of kneeling down on one leg to meet the British king; However, the Qianfang literature records in a grand manner: the mission is making "salutes as ceremonies". However, Emperor Jiaqing was not as content with wordplay as his father, and the Amistrid delegation refused to kneel down to him, so he drove them out of Middle-earth.

And in the Shaoguang Xianfeng period, under the impact of the West. Middle-earth is declining, but this ridiculous pride is even stronger. If the emperor never sees a person who does not kneel and bow, it becomes an iron rule that cannot be violated.

As a product of the Second Anti-Smoking War, the third paragraph of the Sino-British Treaty of Tientsin stipulates that Britain is an independent state and equal to Middle-earth. The uniform protocol of British envoys to pay homage to other heads of state must be uniformly applied. Based on the "most-favored-nation treatment" nature of the treaty, this originally meant that the Western countries had met the emperor of the Qianzhou Dynasty with the etiquette of equality in the modern West, and it had been resolved in the form of a treaty. But the envoys soon discovered that implementation was a big problem. Until the signing of the "Tianjin Treaty", Emperor Xianfeng still remembered: "All kneeling rituals are in accordance with the Middle Earth system, and no family members are allowed." What he is worried about is: Once the Western envoys are allowed to bow down instead of bowing to the audience with Western salutes, the Son of Heaven will lose face, and "how can he be the co-lord of the world"?

Emperor Xianfeng's worries actually represented the idea of "etiquette" of the traditional scholars and doctors in Middle-earth.

In the tenth year of Xianfeng, the British and French troops invaded Tongzhou from Tianjin. Emperor Xianfeng did not refuse to accept all the eight peace conditions proposed by the coalition forces, but he said that it was "difficult to allow" the article that the British side proposed that the credentials should be "personally presented to the emperor's imperial review". He instructed Prince Jing Yixin, who was in charge of the negotiations at the front, saying: "The existence of the national system is difficult to allow. The minister of the king may agree with him that if he wishes to deliver the credentials in person, he must bow down as a ritual in accordance with the etiquette of Middle-earth, and then he can do it; If it is not possible, it is only advisable to follow the example of the United States and Russia, send the national letter to the Beijing Division, hand it over to the minister of the Qin Mission, and after accepting it, give the seal letter, which is no different from handing it in person. Now the Fu Bureau will have a successful saying, it is not worth breaking up because of etiquette, and if it is said that it is stubborn, it is not repentant, and it can only be fought with it. ”

As a result, the negotiations failed. The Anglo-French army quickly approached the city of Beijing, and the divisions of the Qin Wang of the Qianjun army were defeated, suffering heavy casualties, and the fire of the war spread to the royal gardens on the outskirts of Beijing. Emperor Xianfeng hurriedly fled to Rehe, leaving the endgame to Prince Jing Yixin. Then came the signing of the new "Treaty of Beijing", and the coalition forces reaped a lot of material benefits, but they still could not shake Emperor Xianfeng's insistence on the ritual of kneeling and worship, so he had to give up for the time being.

At this time, Emperor Xianfeng, who was far away from the Rehe River, was heartbroken - "This time, I can't do anything about it, so that the chief of Yi will meet my brother in person, it is no longer a thing, if he is reinstated to act unscrupulously, I still have someone in the big Qian?" He was reluctant to return to Beijing, because the "Yi people" had only temporarily retreated, and they refused to bow three times and bow nine times, and the idea of seeing him personally hand over the credentials had not been dispelled. In the edict, he said sharply: "If you can't eliminate the layer of the personal letter of state, disaster will come." That is, it may be allowed temporarily, as a recourse, after returning to Luan, reverting from Tianjin to Beijing, there is no end to coercion, and I will ask. ”

In December of that year, Prince Jing obtained assurances from the British and French ministers that he would not insist on entering Hajj. However, Emperor Xianfeng was still suspicious and did not want to return to Beijing. In August of the following year, Emperor Xianfeng died of illness in Rehe, and finally fulfilled his promise of "never seeing people who do not kneel and worship".

Under these circumstances, the British government had no choice but to back down and decide not to insist on the Hajj issue. In that year, the British Foreign Secretary instructed the British envoy to China, ordering him not to ask for a credential to be presented to the Emperor of Daqian, but only to ask the Qianguo government to recognize him as a representative of the British Government. The rest of the countries have taken the same approach as the UK.

After the death of Emperor Xianfeng, Emperor Tongzhi's young age and the inconvenience of the Empress Dowager's wife and Taoist family became the most powerful reason for the Great Qian's court to refuse foreign envoys to enter the Hajj for a long time.

Although foreign diplomatic envoys were stationed in Beijing in the eleventh year of Xianfeng, the Qingliu were still vehemently opposed to foreign envoys meeting the young Emperor Tongzhi. For this reason, Prince Jing had to receive them as semi-regents, and told them that the emperor was still in his prime and that it was not appropriate to meet them. Although the foreign delegates agreed with him that there was no reason to meet with an emperor who was not yet 20 years old at the time, the foreign envoys nevertheless considered the repeated postponement of the visit by the emperor of the Celestial Empire to be an unfriendly act.
