PS: Happy New Year's Day, everyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, please go." In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, the restless Minister of the Interior came to the Emperor who was sitting on a tatami mat with his eyes closed, saluted respectfully, and said softly, "The blockade of the Ming Navy is getting tighter and tighter, and it will really be dangerous if you don't leave the port." ”

With the continuous advance of the Ming army, the blockade of Japan by the Ming Navy after the Americans retreated had become very tight. Even the few remaining Japanese dives would be very dangerous to escape in the face of the brutal blockade at night.

"I am the emperor of the eternal line, and I am the patron saint of Japan. I'm not going to leave here anyway! Aiqing doesn't need to say much. "The young emperor did not open his eyes and did not use the crane sound. He told the Minister of the Interior very directly that he would not leave, and that he would live and die with his country.

It sounds like Top Gun, but in fact the main reason the emperor is reluctant to leave is because safety cannot be guaranteed.

Just a week earlier, the emperor's uncle's family and several important members of the imperial family had lost contact on their way to the United States on a Japanese Navy submarine. It's been a week, and there's not been a bit. More than 100 people on an entire submarine disappeared from the world without a sound. Among those people, there are many characters who have called for wind and rain in this land of Japan!

The submarine was either sunk by the Ming Navy. Either they had a mechanical failure for unknown reasons, or they never floated again due to an accident.

And the emperor's uncle's family originally went to the United States to prepare for the emperor. But after disappearing like this, it brought immense pressure to the emperor. Just think of the tiny submarine filled with the pungent smell of engine oil and the stench of life and death waiting silently. The emperor would feel himself tremble.

He was afraid of death, afraid that if something happened, he would frantically wait for death in the cold submarine. It's a feeling of despair just to think about it. In this case, the emperor already tended to stay on the mainland and wait for the Ming arrangement. In his heart, no matter what, Da Ming will not kill him directly, right? Even if he becomes the king of the dead country, at least he can still live, right?

The emperor was already inclined to accept the judgment of fate. However, in order to maintain the dignity of the imperial family, he could not directly say to his courtiers that I would stay and surrender, but only that he could not leave his country and his people as emperor.

As for the escape route in the north, it has been completely blocked after the Ming army landed in Hokkaido more than half a month ago, and no one wants to escape by plane again. Moreover, even if you get on an airplane, it is very dangerous. Daming's air fighters are not vegetarians.

"Your Majesty." The Minister of the Interior's expression changed, and he said softly, "If you are unwilling to leave, you may trigger a mutiny." ”

The Emperor is a very important figure, and even a symbol of Japan. In this case, both the Americans and those Japanese high-level leaders who are unwilling to fail will try their best to send him away, and no matter what, they can't let him fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. If the emperor refuses to leave, anything can happen.

“...... I trust the loyal soldiers of the Imperial Kingdom to protect me. Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I will never leave my country. "The young emperor has already made up his mind, even if he is a junior brother to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is not willing to risk his life to go to sea. Anyway, I've been a little brother for so many years, so it doesn't matter if I go back. Da Ming, who pays attention to face, may let him go.

"Your Majesty." The Minister of the Interior said anxiously, "We still have strong allies, and once the counteroffensive is successful in the future, it will be easy to say anything." But if Your Majesty doesn't leave, once the counteroffensive succeeds in the future, that's two things to say. "The meaning of the Minister of the Interior is obvious, if you don't go to the United States and fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, then when the counteroffensive succeeds in the future, it will not be your turn to continue to be the emperor.

The young emperor's body paused slightly, and he was silent.

"Your Majesty." Seeing the play, the Minister of the Interior hurriedly continued, "The U.S. Navy has sent a submarine with advanced performance, which will definitely be able to send His Majesty to the American continent safely." ”

It's okay that the Minister of the Interior doesn't say anything, but the Emperor is still hesitating. However, as soon as he said that he was going to take an American submarine this time, the emperor's anger suddenly surged into his heart: "What benefits have you received from the Americans?" The emperor who betrayed himself for them like this? Are you still a Japanese?! ”

The young emperor was really angry with the Americans at this time. It was because of the promises and instigations of the Americans that they took the initiative to attack Daming. But when Japan was overwhelmed and needed the help of its allies the most, the Americans pulled the ladder without mercy.

Japan's rapid defeat in the face of the Ming Dynasty had a lot to do with the fact that the Americans did not go all out to support them. And this time I went out on the ship of the Americans, and even if I got to the Americas smoothly, I would have become a puppet of the Americans. What is the difference between this and staying in the homeland to be a puppet of the Ming Dynasty? And at a huge risk?

"Your Majesty!" The white-haired minister hurriedly lay on the ground, his forehead against the floor, and his voice trembled and said, "The minister is panicking." He did receive an order from the Americans to assist in sending the Emperor to the United States. Because his family lives in the United States, the Secretary of the Interior had to accede to the Americans' request.

"Humph!" The young emperor opened his eyes and glanced at the Minister of the Interior, whose body was trembling slightly, Huo Ran stood up, snorted coldly, and then shook his hand and left here. Only the Minister of the Interior, who was covered in cold sweat, was still lying on the ground trembling and trembling.

......

"All ready to go!" The night was quiet, and at Odawara Castle on the Izu Peninsula, a large number of Ming soldiers who had already fallen asleep were woken up by loud rallying calls, and then the commanders of the various units shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to immediately get dressed and board the truck and prepare to leave.

"What's wrong?" He Dazui, who had just gotten up from the belly of a Japanese woman, climbed into the truck of his class with a bag on his back and a duffel bag, and asked out with a puzzled face.

The scale of the scene was huge, and almost all the troops stationed near Odawara were mobilized. Thousands of vehicles of all kinds and countless soldiers are preparing for their departure. Snow-white searchlights, flares rising into the air, and fire pits lit by gasoline everywhere illuminate Odawara Castle at night.

"I don't know." After opening his mouth and yawning for a long time, Song Tieniu rubbed his eyes and said, "But no matter how you look at it, you have to set off to fight." ”

"Where to fight?" He Dazui regretted it after asking, looking at Song Tieniu who was looking at him with disdain, He Dazui raised his hand and scratched his hair with some embarrassment. Where else can they go to fight? At this time, in this place, the only possible thing left is Tokyo, which is not far away.

The roar of the huge engines sounded, and the rows of tanks took the lead, and the huge tracks rolled up the snowflakes on the ground and fell to the ground one after another. Then, hordes of tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, jeeps, and other vehicles drove in the direction of Tokyo under the indifferent gaze of the Japanese. Someone there sent them a plea for help.

The matter is simple, a small group of Japanese high-ranking people who are not willing to accept defeat staged a military coup in Tokyo, trying to hijack the emperor, who is unwilling to leave, to board an American submarine and go to the Americas. There must be Americans behind this incident.

"Your Majesty, please leave for America." A group of generals, led by the Minister of Internal Affairs, broke into the dormitory of the Imperial Palace, and spoke in a deep voice in front of the young emperor with a panicked expression.

"Are you still my people? You actually kidnapped me and went to another country?! The emperor angrily blamed the rebels.

"Your Majesty!" The elderly army general leaned down and touched his head to the ground, "The ministers deserve death, but the ministers do not want to see the Japanese Empire fall into history." We still have strong allies, and as long as Your Majesty goes to the Americas to seek the help of allies, there will definitely be a chance to return to Japan in the future. The sins of the ministers deserve death, and they must apologize for their sins! ”

The young emperor and his empress were escorted to the port, where an American submarine was waiting for them. As for the crown prince, these people who initiated the mutiny were not stupid and knew the truth that you can't put your eggs in one basket. The crown prince was retained.

After the departure of the emperor and his wife, several generals who had participated in the mutiny came to the front of the Imperial Palace. Regardless of the heavy snow and cold weather, they untied their clothes and began the procedure of committing suicide by cutting their abdomen. They are responsible for their actions, and holding the emperor hostage can only be a death and apology.

In the distance, when the sky began to gradually turn white, the sound of gunfire that had gradually stopped suddenly became dense again. And it has completely increased several levels compared to before. The sound of these gunshots came from the direction of Odawara. It was the Ming army that killed it.

When the mutiny broke out, the emperor had already ordered someone to send a distress telegram to the Ming Dynasty. After all, it has been decided to surrender, and this kind of thing is not a big deal in the eyes of the Japanese.

When the telegram was delivered to Zhang Cheng, who was working overtime, Zhang Cheng immediately ordered the Ming army, which had advanced to Odawara Castle, to immediately set out to attack Tokyo. At the same time, the Ming Navy was ordered to tightly seal off Tokyo Bay, and absolutely not a single ship was allowed to escape.

"If you can't intercept it, then blow it up!" This is a telegram sent by Zhang Cheng to Lin Luo, who is cruising and blockading outside Tokyo Bay. Even if the submarine that was transported to the emperor was blown up, he would never be allowed to travel to the Americas alive! (To be continued.) )
