Chapter 817: Forcing the Palace
Wang Feng readily accepted Kaufman's surrender, considering that it was too thin to enter the Winter Palace with only more than 70,000 troops of Vyazelsky, and only by surrendering the more than 200,000 Russian troops surrounded in Urumqi, with about 300,000 troops, could he ensure the establishment of a regime.
Wang Feng does not necessarily have to change the day for Russia, if it is more difficult, he can support Prince Menlev to establish a new regime in Moscow first, dragging Russia into a long civil war, which is also a good choice.
As for the issue of petitioning, these 200,000 or so people have not surrendered for the time being, but it doesn't matter much, they have all killed and eaten their own companions, which is a worse act than simple killing.
When the staff officer informed Kaufman of Wang Feng's request, Kaufman, like Vyazelsky, was ecstatic, their common feature was that they were all scared, and they were allowed to live when they were in a desperate situation, so they simply broke the jar and fell to the end.
In addition to releasing some of the people to return to China to settle their families, the vast majority of the Russian troops were arranged in Urumqi on the spot, taking advantage of the leisure time before the counteroffensive against Russia, plowing the fields and raising livestock with the Democratic Alliance Army, and being self-sufficient.
Unconsciously, the time came in April, the Russian army has all been settled, is busy with spring ploughing, a considerable part of them are serfs, do farm work is also veterans, during this time, the news of the big victory also spread, the whole country is jubilant, but also a natural self-confidence.
On the night of April 5, in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Japan, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the bedroom of Emperor Komei. There were a few screams in the distance.
"Who?" Xiaoming's female queen, Kujou Shuko, sat up from the tatami mat and asked uneasily.
The female queen is from the ancient Chinese book "Zhou Li". In charge of the king's swallow bed, to the year of meritorious service. Whoever sacrifices, praise the woman of the world. The funeral, the palm bath, the funeral, the funeral, from the world and hanging in the funeral of the doctor, and in Japan, the female emperor is second only to the queen and the middle palace, roughly equivalent to the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty.
Xiaoming once wanted to set up nine dreams as the queen, and he wanted to give her the quasi-third palace. However, it was opposed by the shogunate, and it was not until May 7 of the sixth year of Kaei (1853) that Kujo Shuzi was the third quasi-third palace, but he was always hindered in the canonization of the queen, so Xiaoming simply did not establish the queen, and Kujou Shuzi lived in the name of the female queen and lived as the queen.
In the past few days, the total annihilation of the Western Navy in China has also caused great turmoil in Japan. Takaaki and the shogunate advocated overtures to China and serve the great powers as the Tang and Song dynasties did, while the Shogunate faction, led by Sakamoto Maron and Saigo Takamori, believed that China's desire to defeat Japan would not die, and that Japan must rely on Europe and the United States to embark on the path of self-improvement and self-reliance in order to confront China.
The contradictions and conflicts between the two factions have become more and more acute. Many daimyo remain neutral and wait for the price to be sold.
Although Takaaki and the shogunate had their hearts set on China, China did not give them direct support. The Shogunist faction, on the other hand, has full assistance from Europe and the United States. Ask for money for money, ask for guns for guns. Moreover, there were still many low-level bankrupt samurai in Japan, and when someone had money and guns, they pulled up a powerful army in a short time.
Originally, the Shogunate faction could directly declare war on the shogunate, but Takaaki supported the combination of public and military forces and wore the same pants as the shogunate, which made the Shogunate faction give people a feeling that the name was not correct and that it was not good, after all, Takaaki was a puppet again, but he was the emperor of Japan, and he was the spiritual symbol of the Japanese people.
If the Shogunate faction wants to overthrow the shogunate, they must first overthrow Takaaki.
The Shogunate faction continued to operate in Kyoto, and the situation in Kyoto became increasingly tense, but Takaaki was just a puppet emperor, and his power in his hands was very limited, and it was difficult to prevent the Shogunate faction from infiltrating Kyoto.
The key is that even if Japan moves closer to China, will China be willing to accept Japan? It can be seen from the fact that China has brought Indians and blacks to wreak havoc in Japan, and that China has a strong hostility towards Japan, and it is better to completely turn to Europe and the United States, or to confront China.
The activities of the Shogunate faction in Kyoto are becoming more and more rampant, and more and more people are colluding with them, Takaaki is in his eyes, anxious in his heart, but he can't do anything, and even worries about his own safety, and sure enough, this day has come.
Hyomyung also sat up and looked straight at the door.
"Hula~~" The door was opened, and several figures rushed in.
"Smack!" With a bang, the oil lamp was lit, and Xiaoming saw clearly that it was five warriors in their twenties and thirties, with long knives hanging from their waists, and their expressions were cold.
"Who are you? And who let you in? Don't you know that this is my dormitory? Get out! Xiaoming knew that he couldn't show cowardice at this time, so he immediately shouted.
Kujou Suzi also covered his chest with brocade, and the phoenix eyes shot out of Feng Wei!
These five people are Ryoma Sakamoto, Ryo Oinmuro, Takamori Saigo, Ritsu Okubo and Shinsaku Takasugi.
Since ancient times, anyone who dares to launch a palace coup d'Γ©tat will not be afraid of the so-called monarchy, Sakamoto Ryoma reprimanded: "Japan has reached a life-and-death juncture, Your Majesty is still addicted to women, it is really cold, is this what Ming Jun did?" β
Xiao Ming's whole body trembled, it was right that he and Jiujo had a quilt, but this is his wife who has been married for eighteen years, what is there between husband and wife sleeping together? What's more, both of them were still clothed, and they didn't do that.
Saigo Takamori is Shi Li said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for waiting uninvited, the international situation is extremely dangerous, according to the latest news obtained by the minister, China has completely annihilated 500,000 Russian troops in Xinjiang, and eliminated more than one million armed forces of various factions in Xinjiang, Salmahan, Tashkent, Ferghana and other important places in Central Asia have all been included in China's territory, and I see that a prosperous Tang Dynasty is about to reappear."
If China is just another Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty only expanded to the land, and had no impact on Japan and China, and it is not a disaster for sincerity, and China vigorously developed its maritime power, occupied Singapore, supported the Chinese in Southeast Asia to establish six countries, and exiled the Qing Dynasty as a whole to Australia, which shows that China also has great ambitions for the Pacific Ocean, how can China allow our Japanese islands to be independent of the Pacific Ocean? Chen dared to assert that once China pulled out its hand, it would attack Japan!
What is ridiculous is that the Japanese government and the opposition are still arguing endlessly over the collapse of the curtain and the combination of public and military forces, and when will they be able to work together to resist foreign enemies? The old ministers and others took the liberty to come and boldly ask His Majesty to issue an edict to ask for the edict, and only by quelling the dispute as quickly as possible can Japan usher in a glimmer of life. β
Okubo Ritsu took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Please hesitate in a hurry, and announce it to the whole country tonight." β
Takasugi Jinsaku slapped him twice, and two samurai walked in with the four treasures of the study.
Jiujo Shuzi was not afraid, helped Xiaoming to stand up, and snorted coldly: "Since it is an audience, you should report to the palace gate, why did you trespass into the palace forbidden?" Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes? Is it possible that you want to rebel? β
