Although the people's march made the Okuma cabinet very passive, it did not shake their determination to negotiate peace, they no longer cared about the opinions of these people at this time, the parliament was all in order, and no amount of marching would help.

The Okuma cabinet did not come out to explain, but only published the decision of the parliament to negotiate peace talks in the newspapers, and the anger of the people was instantly transferred to the parliamentarians, who said that these parliamentarians were no longer suitable to be parliamentarians, and they were all a group of traitors.

The people at the bottom of the population are very supportive of the peace talks, but the shortage of materials, the high prices, and the plummeting yen have become worthless, and they find that their savings have become greatly reduced, and the purchasing power of the yen has also declined, and the pound and the rice dollar have now become the strongest currencies in Fuso.

The Fuso government announced that Huaxia had agreed to their peace talks and allowed their negotiators to negotiate in the imperial capital of China, and at the same time invited rice, Britain, Fa Guo, and Germany to supervise and witness.

This news has aroused widespread concern in various countries, and in their opinion, Fuso will have to pay a great price to succeed in the peace talks.

"Stupid Fuso people, how can they negotiate peace so quickly, look at the fate of Tsarist Russia, it is absolutely impossible for Fuso to succeed without ceding territory."

Wilson was extremely dissatisfied with Fusang, and they invested so much in Fusang that they still didn't hurt Huaxia and ruined his plan.

"Mr. President, the peace talks are just wishful thinking on the part of Fusang, the Chinese Empire is notoriously greedy for land, and Fusang will not cede territory. However, I can help them get the peace talks done, so that we can continue to support Fusang, it is better than Fusang being completely defeated by Huaxia, we need Fusang to contain the development of Huaxia, and Fuso may be happy to be our ally! "The vice president believes that the peace talks in Fuso are the best outcome for the United States.

Wilson frowned and said: "According to the original plans, even if Fusang fails, we will let Huaxia fall into the quagmire of Fusang itself, just like the Anglo-Boer War, drag down Huaxia's energy and economy, and reduce the speed of their rise, but now in this situation, Huaxia does not know what idea is playing, we must speed up several plans in Ecuador, so that the fleet can sail to the Pacific Ocean as soon as possible!" ”

"Ecuador has no intention of ceding the Colón Islands, and has refused the request of our garrison, which is really hateful!"

"Speed up and overthrow the rule of Leonidas, it's not good for too strong military to rule, it's better to rule by civilians!"

…………

Almost all the medium-sized and large cities in the southern part of Kyushu Island were bombed, and most of the soldiers of the Kyushu Island army were broken when resisting the fleet, and less than 10,000 of the 50,000 army remained, and these 10,000 troops were still scattered all over Kyushu Island, so the military strength of Fuso on Kyushu Island was empty.

When the Chinese fleet bombed Kagoshima, another northbound fleet carried out a large-scale bombardment of Fukuoka, and most of the prosperous city of Fukuoka was blown into ruins.

After bombing Kagoshima City, the southbound fleet quickly rushed back to join up with the aircraft carrier, and then rushed to Jeju Island, a temporary supply base for the navy.

After the Huaxia fleet left the waters of Kyushu Island, the people of Kyushu Island who heard the news cheered, the demon was finally gone, and they didn't have to worry anymore.

The ability of the Fuso government is still very good, in addition to organizing the people to treat the casualties in the first place, it has also mobilized a lot of materials to maintain the basic life of the people, and government personnel or volunteers can be seen distributing food in every city that has been attacked.

There were so many cities under attack, almost all of them were very densely populated, a large number of people lost their homes in the bombing, most of the local shops were blown up, and even those that were not destroyed were left empty under the looting of the 'mob'.

"The major cities on Kyushu Island have sent telegrams asking for material rescue, their materials cannot maintain the basic life of the people at all, and the nobles do not cooperate with the reduction of prices, and they still rise! According to incomplete statistics, more than one million people have been affected by the disaster, and the shortage of materials is very large! The Prime Minister's aide reported to Shigenobu Okuma.

After hearing this, Shigenobu Okuma slapped the table angrily and said, "Bastard, are these nobles of Kyushu Island all pig brains, and they are still thinking about getting rich at this time!" They were immediately ordered to lower prices, and some supplies were mobilized from the state to help the disaster. No, I'm going to go to the Imperial Palace and ask His Majesty the Emperor to take the lead in a fundraiser, otherwise something will definitely happen! ”

The emperor was invited to come forward to suppress the nobles and to appease the people affected by the disaster, and it was necessary to show that the government cares about the people in the disaster area, and the government is working hard to give the people hope.

Kyushu Island Satsuma Domain, the Shimazu family is the largest family in the Satsuma Domain, and has been the lord of the Satsuma Domain before the Meiji Era, and its strength has declined after the Meiji era, but it is still the first family of the Satsuma Domain.

"Why do you want us to take out food to help these untouchables, our Shimazu family has suffered a lot of losses in Kagoshima, and only this food is left, and we have to take it out, it's impossible!"

"It's good to be able to take it out and sell it, but we have to reduce the price, it's better to ship it to Dongjing and sell it, the price is much stronger than here!"

"These untouchables are like that, our losses are also heavy, if we don't tear it up quickly, we don't even have rice, who will pity us!"

The Shimazu family and the island family generally wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price of rice to make up for the losses in the bombing, and they would not reduce the price at all.

The price of rice was 1 jiao per liter before the war, but before the bombing it had risen tenfold, and the depreciation of the yen, rice per liter was 10 yen, but now it has risen to 50 yen, and it is still rising at a rate of 1 to 3 yuan a day.

The people affected by the disaster on the island of Kyushu have no homes, everything is being bombed to pieces, and where is the extra money to buy these expensive rice, they can only wait for the government's relief.

The affected people demanded that the price of rice and other grains be lowered, but the rice merchants and landlords were unmoved and even hoarded food.

Three days passed in a flash, the government had run out of food for relief, and only gruel could be distributed once a day, and most of the affected people began to gnaw on tree bark and wild vegetables, but in the middle of winter, there were still wild vegetables for them to dig, so they could only starve.

"Mom, I'm so hungry!"

The child shouted weakly touching his belly.

A woman next to her hugged the child's head tightly and comforted: "Good, soon we will have something to eat, and the government said that the relief materials will arrive soon!" ”

"But why don't those rice shops sell rice to us, there is a lot of rice there, the baby wants to eat rice balls, and there have been no rice balls for three days!" The child pointed to the deserted rice shop not far away and said innocently.

The woman wiped her tears and said, "Because my mother has no money, the money has been burned, and my mother is blamed for not being good, and she didn't rescue all the money!" If only your dad were here! ”

"Daddy, I'm like Daddy!"

Kyushu Island is close to North Korea, and Fuso recruited a large number of soldiers on Kyushu Island to rush to North Korea, so many families left only women and children at home.

Somewhere in Kagoshima City, hundreds of women gathered around a woman in the middle who was raising her arms and shouting.

"Who caused it today, the people of China? No, it was caused by the government, if they hadn't started a war with China, we wouldn't have been blockaded by the Chinans, the prices wouldn't be so high, and our husbands wouldn't have gone to war! Look, our husbands are serving our country on the battlefield, and we can't fill our stomachs, why? Is it because of those hateful nobles and merchants, who hoard food and deliberately raise prices, that they are not going to starve us to death? Sisters, can you bear it? ”

"Can't !!"

The woman waved her arms, "Come with me to protest against these unscrupulous grain merchants!" ”

Hundreds of women surrounded the nearest rice shop, demanding that the rice be sold cheaply. They sat down on the ground at the rice merchant's place, and begged again and again: "Sell the rice cheaper, we are dying of hunger!" ”。

When the police heard the news, they rushed to intervene, and in the face of hundreds of shrews, the police did not dare to do anything, so they could only persuade them, but they were all shot back one by one, saying "You are full, go back to sleep with you!" "Let them go in embarrassment.

The store manager said rudely: "The rice is mine, you can't afford to sell it at this price, just leave, don't affect my business." ”

His wife said even more fiercely: "If you don't think rice is expensive and can't live, you'll die!" ”

The women gritted their teeth in anger when they were insulted, saying, "The profiteer is too hateful and should be taught a lesson." ”

The leading woman said, "Sisters, we can't wait to die of hunger, so let's divide his rice!" ”

The women screamed, smashed down the gates, and snatched the rice, leaving only the frantic shopkeeper and his wife.

The news of the women spread rapidly, and countless hungry women also began to grab rice, and slowly the men also joined in, and countless rice shops were looted for a while.

The aristocrats, who learned that their rice shop had been emptied, were furious and urged the police and the army to suppress the people, whom they defined as mobs.

The police and the army cracked down on the people who grabbed the rice, arrested a number of people, and injured many people, temporarily suppressing the momentum of the people to grab the rice.

In a basement in Sasebo City, several people dressed in military uniforms and looking like a large group of workers are gathered together, and in the middle is a worker.

"Chief, all of them are acting according to our plan, and there are our people preparing all over the country, which will bring a huge blow to the feudal and bloody and cruel government, and our organization will definitely be recognized by more people!"

"Hahaha, the comrades of Tsarist Russia are working hard, although they have begun to be at a disadvantage, but this is only relative, and redism is the truth! Ready to launch the second round of the plan, Kyushu Island will be our territory! ”

"It's the Chief!"

The rice rush in Kagoshima City was suppressed, but soon the rice rush began to spread from Kagoshima City, and people throughout Kagoshima Prefecture attacked rice shops and punished profiteers, just like Kagoshima City.

The next day, people from Nagasaki and Nishikai also joined the rice-grabbing movement, and the rice-grabbing turmoil tended to spread to the entire island of Kyushu.
