Next to the Tokyo Customs Building in Akasaka, there is a four-story clock tower built in the Meiji period, and the gate has been open since the construction of the bell tower to allow the people to experience the peace and beauty of the Meiji era up close.

/ Mixed * Mixed * Small * Say Net /

In the open space in front of the bell tower, tens of thousands of panicked and helpless Tokyo citizens gathered, and they were undoubtedly the most miserable people in the face of the sudden riots. Looking down from the bell tower, the whole of Tokyo is in flames, the Edo River, where the first battle took place, has been completely ablaze, Gokokuji Temple and the wealthy gathering area of Asakusa Ward are also in flames, and even Akasaka, where the Diet and the Prime Minister's Office are located, are in flames.

Originally a little quiet, near the Chiyoda Imperial Palace, as two warships opened fire on the sea to defend the emperor, the cannonballs fell one by one, setting off a huge fireball Chapter 376 Explosion (5) At the same time, it also destroyed the last confidence of Tokyo.

It's messed up! It's a complete mess! As far as the eye can see, the whole of Tokyo is filled with people running around like headless flies!

Tanaka Yoshiichi was completely stagnant, and the joy of supporting him with the louder explosions and the neighing of naval guns completely fell into the abyss, and even Yamaguchi Youtomo's face turned pale and gloomy, and the whole situation was sliding towards the edge of loss of control that no one could predict. Crying, shouting, fighting, and explosions became the main theme of the Tokyo night on May 10, and the traitors, the out-of-control army, the ronin who fueled the flames, and the unemployed who were given weapons to vent their grievances were all unscrupulous in destroying the essence and tranquility accumulated during the Meiji period.

Only Chen Haohui in the shadow of the bell tower smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the Houyi plan finally achieved its goal! This top-secret plan, with the basic purpose of destroying the center of the Japanese capital and eradicating far-sighted politicians, has finally reached its peak after Takahashi is Kiyoshi and Kato Takaaki were assassinated in succession! When Saionji Konobo, Hara Kei, Touyama Mitsuru, Inukai Takeshi, and Saito Minoru and other far-sighted politicians fell in a pool of blood. The most elite generation of the Japanese has completely disappeared!! A huge fault line appeared in the political arena of Chapter 376 of the "Day" book (5). It is impossible to calculate exactly how much damage will be tonight, but the flames alone will prove that at least 200,000 Tokyo citizens will be victims tomorrow morning, and at least 10,000 buildings and houses will need to be repaired and rebuilt. This alone will require hundreds of millions of yen for the Japanese government to restore its new state, and even if it is rebuilt, it will not be possible to restore the confidence of the people in one or two years.

The footsteps behind him sounded quickly, and the security bureau agent wearing the clothes of a Japanese worker and wearing a white towel like a coup soldier walked over, and after a few words in his ear, Chen Haohui nodded heavily, squatted down and patted Kawashima Yoshiko's cheek: "Wait for me here, uncle will take you away after finishing his errands." ”

Young Yoshiko Kawashima still doesn't understand what the hell is going on outside. The country, the nation, the thoughts, and the blood were still only a vague shadow in her mind, and she only knew that the little uncle in front of her, who had taken care of herself for several years and cared for herself, suddenly became very strange and strange, and the muscles on his face were as hard as stones. There was a flame dancing in his eyes. She suddenly wanted to cry, but she was afraid that her uncle would worry, so she took out the candy and stuffed it: "Uncle, you eat candy." ”

"Uncle is back to eat." 26-year-old Chen Haohui clenched the candy hard, patted Fangzi, who was immature but already looked like a beautiful fetus, and quickly disappeared into the dark corridor.

The assistant had a sour nose and took Yoshiko Kawashima's little hand and prepared to take her back to the meeting place. But after going downstairs, this clever little girl suddenly shook her hand, quickly got into the crowd, and disappeared in the direction where Chen Haohui left. The assistants and partners were so anxious that they hurriedly chased after them, but in the face of the swarming frightened crowd, where could they still see the two figures, one big and one small.

Ryohei Uchida stepped on clogs, armed with a Japanese sword, and a number of samurai ronin hand-picked to protect Tanaka Yoshiichi and around. On the periphery are more than a hundred soldiers loyal to Tanaka led by Nagata Tetsuyama, and each of them is like a great enemy. The navy used naval guns to suppress the coup d'état, which led to a complete loss of control tonight. No one can predict what will happen next, so they must protect to the death that has been established as the core of Yama Prefecture Youpeng. And it is very likely that Yoshiichi Tanaka will become the next prime minister.

This is a political gamble, and by ensuring his safe arrival at the War Department, the Black Dragon Society will be able to flourish, and the more conservative-minded soldiers led by Nagata Tetsuyama will be able to stand up and replace the radical saboteurs. They preferred to drive slowly rather than drive down the road, so it took more than an hour to cross the streets and alleys before returning to the War Department. There was already a commotion in the military headquarters, and the officers who had arrived from all over the country had become headless flies. Hasegawa Yoshimichi went to Osaka, and Yusaku Uehara was a member of the Satsuma Domain, and the army didn't believe him, so when Tanaka appeared, everyone surrounded him almost immediately. "Where is the 1st Division?" Tanaka, who returned to the War Department, made people feel different from the past as soon as he opened his mouth, and Yusaku Uehara even looked at the people around him, Ryohei Uchida, and Tetsuyama Nagata without saying a word.

"A Lieutenant General of the Guards has just called, and the two wings are on their way back, and they will arrive at 2 a.m. at the latest."

"Where's the palace?"

Prince Zaihito led the gendarmerie and a battalion of the Tokyo Garrison Command to keep them out of the perimeter, and the navy used naval guns to relieve the siege. The Prince called to say that the Imperial Palace was temporarily fine, but His Majesty the Emperor was so frightened that he asked us to send someone to explain to him immediately what had happened! Hearing that the palace was temporarily unharmed, the biggest stone in Tanaka's heart finally fell. He was not the kind of radical treason that Kita and Aoki were like and even wanted to overthrow the emperor. He knew that the Emperor's importance to the Emperor was too great, and if the Emperor were to suffer tonight, he was afraid that the entire Emperor would fall apart. It's just that he can't go to the palace now, and he has to wait for a friend from Shan County to take him there before he can officially establish the status of the successor of the Xiashan County faction! And after cleaning up the mess, he stepped onto the top of the political arena, so he was particularly concerned about the movements of Youpeng in Shan County, and asked: "What about the elder of Shan County?" ”

"Tanaka-kun, rest assured, Elder Shan Shan has already left the hospital and rushed here, and he will not delay the following matters." Nanjiro knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly came over to pat himself on the back, and also clenched the words "things below".

Yoshiichi Tanaka took a deep breath, waved everyone away, and slowly closed the office door, walking to the window to look at the flames of Tokyo, the muscles of his lips twitching. Win! I finally won! In Katsura Taro is not in good health. In the absence of an army background, Kiyopu Kuiwu's work during this period of time finally allowed Yama County Youpeng to choose him. The rest of the matter is too simple, just wait for a family guard to lead the troops into the city, and personally lead them to arrest all those rebels. Then Yamaguchi Aritomo will lead him to the emperor to show his face, and everything will be a foregone conclusion!

It's just that this price is undoubtedly worse for Japan.

After he comes to power, how should he balance his internal relations, how should he solve the economic crisis that plagued Japan, and how should he solve the new relationship with China? At this time, he suddenly realized that he didn't know anything, and his head was at a loss! "Maybe the elders of the county have already made all the plans? You just have to do what he planned, and then slowly take power. In a few years, I will definitely become a veteran! He muttered secretly, then sat down and waited quietly for the "escort" army and Shan Youpeng to arrive, the firelight outside the window reflecting the blank face red.

It is only a few kilometers from Shinjuku National Hospital to the War Department, and it can be reached in 20 minutes by car. But in the face of panicked citizens scurrying all over the streets, the convoy could only move slowly under the bayonets of the guards. The chrysanthemum huā sign on the front of the car made everyone afraid to approach, because it meant that it was a royal or a senior member of the Chinese family.

On the wide back seat, Shan Youpeng wore a coat and his old eyes were closed, and his long and narrow horse face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water. Tonight can be said to be the result of all his deliberate indulgence. Even about the fact that Aoki Nobujun and Kita Ichiki brought people back from North Korea, Nagaoka Gaishi informed him in advance. Originally, he didn't want to do this, but because the defeat caused the prestige of the army and the feudal lords that he relied on the most, he had to want to remove these big stones to ensure his position! But I didn't expect the Navy to be so aggressive. Actually use naval artillery! As a result, the situation is completely out of control. Fortunately, the naval idiots finally did not use large-caliber shells. When he arrived at the military headquarters and called Gonbei Yamamoto, he knew what to do. Because after tonight, he is the only remaining patriarch of the "Day"! Unless the navy lifts the little old man from Dongxiang out. Otherwise, no one can compete with him, as long as Prince Hirohito is older enough to shoulder the responsibility, the cherry blossoms will bloom brilliantly again.

Time and age, why did China produce such a young strongman? Will Crown Prince Hirohito be his opponent? Youpeng closed his eyes and pondered, not blaming why the car was driving so slowly, and in his eyes, such a little pain was nothing compared to the future of the empire.

As the wheels slowly turned closer to the War Department, the number of citizens pouring into the area began to increase dramatically, all hoping to be sheltered by the army as soon as possible, even though they had been so disappointed and disgusted before.

In a room on the side of the road, Chen Haohui pulled off his clothes and pants and changed into the clothes of a vegetable farmer, and his partner used special oil paint to make his exposed skin extremely old, and then carefully pulled out a few sheaths on the vegetable basket, and a few thin sharp spikes with a faint blue light poked out of the bamboo strips. But no one knew that a pair of big eyes saw everything through the cracks.

"Salute!"

When Chen Haohui picked up the burden and was about to go out, everyone saluted, because everyone knew that he might never come back! The big eyes in the gap flickered several times, as if he was wondering why his uncle had become a grandfather? Will you call Uncle or Grandpa in the future? Seeing him leaving, he also boldly and quietly followed the "old vegetable farmer" to blend into the crowd and pretend to flee and run forward. The car that has been waiting for three years finally appears at the end of the road, and the old man in the car represents an era! As long as he is in the "Japan", it will not sink, but without him, and without the elites of Xiyuan Temple, what will become of the "Japan" political arena?

Smack.

Shots rang out!

Agents disguised as riot soldiers shouted slogans such as "Heavenly Punishment", "National Thief", "Block Them and Protect the Victory", "Hold On", and several Japanese grenades suddenly exploded in the middle of the guards. Youpeng in Shan County suddenly opened his eyes, and his face flashed angrily: "Who is it?" ”

"Elder Ge! It's the rebels, and they're using us as support! It's very dangerous here, the vehicle target is too big, please get out of the car and we'll protect you. The chief of the guard was very composed, and while directing the blocking of the "enemy", he personally ran to protect himself. Even if everyone believed that they would not dare to do anything as long as they saw the rebels in Chetou Juhuā, no one dared to take the risk now.

Youpeng in Shan County also didn't dare, nodded and stepped out of the car under heavy protection, turning his head to look at the distance where the firefight was crossing, and his face was pale.

The sound of gunfire and explosions suddenly blew up the fleeing crowd around him, and when the chief of the guard personally protected Youpeng in Shan County and got out of the car to prepare for a detour, he forgot that the surging crowd around him might not hurt the meek and polite citizens in his eyes. "Yaga! I don't care about you. "Protect, be careful."

The guards huddled into a ball, and just used their bodies to separate the flow of people, but an accident happened! An old vegetable farmer who was stumbling through the crowd shouted, "My food, my food." At that time, a rotten basket was squeezed to the foot of Youpeng in Shan County, not far away. The "old vegetable farmer" who was bent over and hunched over with an anxious face and red eyes rushed over to protect his hard-earned fruit, but the head of the guard kicked him hard because he was worried about seeing this.

After kicking the waist, the old vegetable farmer who had just grabbed the basket suddenly rolled a few steps, and the basket made of bamboo in his hand was scattered in an instant, and the vegetables were scattered all over the ground at the same time, several of the slices of the basket cut through the human sews to tear through the clothes of Youpeng in Shanxian County, especially the one that crossed the back of his hand was still bloody.

"Yaga, damn untouchables!" When the chief of the guard saw that the elder of the county was actually scratched by the bamboo strips, he angrily drew his knife and slashed it off. In the face of the cold and shining saber, the old vegetable farmer could have dodged immediately but deliberately did not dodge, he knew that as long as he avoided these experienced guards, he could find the abnormality, so he had to take this knife! If you suffer an accident, you will be completely locked in if you dodge!

The blade slashed through the left thigh, and the blood gushed wildly, and the flesh rolled and even the hamstrings jumped out! When the angry captain of the guard wanted to stab again, a sharp shout suddenly erupted in the crowd: "Grandpa, don't kill my grandpa!" The sound obviously made the old vegetable farmer's body stiff! also let Shanxian who covered the back of his hands see a little girl who rushed over in the crowd rubbing her eyes and crying, and she didn't know whether to pity or think of her granddaughter, and said to the guards: "Forget it, I have nothing to do." ”

The little girl threw herself on the old vegetable farmer, and the bitter sound of the rain was miserable, and the fleeing crowd around her wept sadly, but the soldiers with sharp knives and rifles made them dare not say more. The chief of the guard glared at the old farmer and the girl fiercely, and then walked to Youpeng in Shanxian County and bowed his head to ask for punishment: "Pavilion Lao, it is the subordinate who is not effective in protecting him!" Please! "It's okay, it's just a small hole." After waving his hand and glancing at the girl again, Shan Shan walked quickly towards the military headquarters under the protection of the guards, and no one noticed in the darkness that a black line as thin as a hair flashed along the back of his hand.

"Yoshiko." The old vegetable farmer's face turned pale, and his trembling big hand touched his porcelain doll-like face: "We can go back." The girl continued to weep, not hearing him at all, but said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Uncle, don't throw Yoshiko in the future, okay? Yoshiko was afraid. ”！！！
