"Report to the general, the minister of Nishimura is here."

On the 15th day of August in the second year of Renhe, at the end of the hour, Li Shun went to the Kyoto Imperial Palace to inspect all parts of the palace according to the old practice, and then returned to the guard of the Jianli Gate, brewed a pot of tea, tasted it deliciously, and was enjoying himself, but saw the adjutant come in from outside, performed a standard military salute, and hurriedly reported a sentence.

"Well, please."

Hearing that it was Junichiro Nishimura who came to ask to see him, the corners of Li Shun's mouth immediately showed a faint sneering smile, but he didn't refuse his invitation to see, but when he saw Li Shun waving his hand indifferently, he was already casually approved.

"Yes!"

Since Li Shun had given the order, the adjutant did not dare to delay a little, so he hurriedly answered, and then left the office, and then saw that Junichiro Nishimura had already walked in with a smile on his face.

"Li Jun, it's early."

As soon as he saw Li Shun's square face that seemed to be smiling, Junichiro Nishimura's heart couldn't help but sink, and a bad premonition surged up in his heart for no reason, and his heart beat like a deer, but the matter had come to this point, but he couldn't allow Junichiro Nishimura to have the slightest room to retreat, so he could only rush forward, bow deeply, and greet with a smile.

"Nishimura-kun is here, so let's sit down."

Facing Junichiro Nishimura's courtesy, Li Shun did not get up to greet him, but just smiled playfully and greeted him casually.

"Thank you, Jun Li. Ah, Li Jun, the time is not early, according to the scheduled plan, in more than an hour, it should be time for my king to climb the Tang Gate Tower to watch the ceremony, in order to prevent accidents, Li Jun to see if he can mobilize some troops in advance to go to the Tang Gate to guard? ”

As soon as Li Shun's attitude came out, the uneasiness surging in Nishimura Junichiro's heart inevitably intensified, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face, so he could only sit down in a sincere panic and propose calmly.

"Well, Nishimura-kun's proposal is very good, so according to Nishimura-kun, how many troops will have to be transferred to it?"

As soon as Junichiro Nishimura said this, the sneering smile on the corner of Li Shun's mouth suddenly became a little more obvious, but he didn't seem to object to Junichiro Nishimura's proposal.

"Li Jun, we have said in advance, this time the elders of the four towns and eight miles will enter the palace to meet my king, and my king will also give a banquet to the elders in the Pingtang Gate, in case of accidents, the more troops are allocated, the better, and please Li Jun to complete, please."

Hearing Li Shun's tone, there seemed to be room for negotiation, and Junichiro Nishimura's spirit suddenly perked up, forcibly suppressed the apprehension in his heart, and explained with a respectful face.

"Oh, that's it, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, come on!"

Li Shun is really good at talking, no, as soon as Junichiro Nishimura's voice fell, Li Shun was already full of words, but when he saw his high-five, he already broke off his throat loudly.

"Don't move!"

"Be honest!"

……

Hearing Li Shun's words, Junichiro Nishimura was really a little overjoyed, but before the smile on his face could fully bloom, he saw that where the two wooden doors of the office opened, several soldiers armed with revolvers had already swarmed in, unceremoniously pushed Junichiro Nishimura to the ground, and several barrels of guns were forced against Junichiro Nishimura's head.

"Li Jun, Li Jun, you, what are you doing? I, I ......"

Junichiro Nishimura is just a weak person, not to mention that he is unprepared at this time, even if he is engrossed, he cannot be the opponent of the well-trained soldiers of the Qing Dynasty Marines, he was pressed to the ground in a moment, his face instantly turned as white as paper, although he knew that the matter must have been revealed, but he was still pretending to be confused in his mouth.

"What? Hehe, old thing, at this time, you still dare to pretend to be confused with Lao Tzu, there is a kind! It's a pity that Lao Tzu doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you, drag it down, lock it up first, and shoot it all together! ”

Li Shun is a soldier, not a politician, so he will not waste his words to explain to Nishimura Junichiro how the Qing side saw through the plan of the Japanese rebellion, and with a wave of his hand, he has coldly issued the order.

"Yes!"

As soon as Li Shun gave such an order, several soldiers who rushed into the office did not dare to delay for a moment, dragged up Junichiro Nishimura, who was screaming wildly, and walked out regardless of the ground.

"Adjutant Xi, pass on the order, and all ministries will immediately unfold as planned, and there must be no mistakes!"

Li Shun didn't even bother to look at Nishimura Junichiro again, Huo Ran got up and ordered with a solemn face.

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, Adjutant Xi naturally had no objections, hurriedly answered the promise loudly, and hurriedly withdrew from the office, and after a while, a burst of military trumpets sounded, a team of heavily armed Qing marines ran out of the barracks near Jianli Gate, and rushed to all the key places of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and controlled the entire Imperial Palace with lightning speed, and a battalion of soldiers rushed into the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and unceremoniously arrested the Imperial Gate of the Japanese King and his concubines. But anyone who dares to resist will be killed, only two quarters of an hour before and after, the entire Kyoto Imperial Palace has been firmly controlled by the Qing Dynasty marines, the palace walls everywhere are full of loaded Qing officers and soldiers, rows of black holes pointed at the outside of the palace, and the artillery battalion has no scruples about fourteen light infantry guns in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the entire Kyoto Imperial Palace has become a military fortress!

"My lord, it's not good, the palace is suddenly under martial law, isolated from the inside and outside, and I can't get in......"

In a mansion north of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, dozens of daimyo from around Kyoto, including Tokugawa Amineshi and Kazutori Sei, were gathering in the back garden to make the final arrangements before the war.

"Yaga, what's going on, make it clear!"

Sei Kazutori was a young man after all, and he was very angry, and before the samurai who came to report could finish speaking, he jumped up suddenly, grabbed the samurai's chest, and roared with his eyes wide open.

"Big, big, small, small don't know, the previous palace suddenly sounded a gun, the small one is afraid that there will be a change inside, so I tried to sneak into the palace, but I never thought that the palace gates everywhere have been closed, the Qing people are all over the city, the small ones dare not approach, and they are afraid of misleading the affairs of the adults, so they hurried back to report a letter."

When Sei Kazutori roared like this, the face of the samurai who came to report the news turned pale instantly, but he didn't dare to struggle, so he could only explain in fear.

"Bastard, get out, hurry up and keep an eye on it, report it as soon as there is news!"

Unable to ask anything from the samurai's mouth, Sei Kazutori was impatient when he boarded, and pushed him back fiercely, and scolded without much noise, and immediately frightened the samurai and fled out of the back garden as if he were in a hurry, and went to inquire about the news without mentioning it.

"Why is this the case, Tokugawa-kun, this doesn't taste right, or if you don't do it, let's put it off for a while."

"This thing is strange, could it be that the fool in the West Village has shown his feet? If that's the case, I think we'll have to do it quickly! ”

"Yes, hurry up, anyway, the large army of the Western Lord is about to arrive, what are you afraid of the Qing people doing?"

……

The reaction of the daimyo of the Japanese kingdom was obviously slow, and it was not until Sei Kazutori sent away the samurai who had rushed to report the news that he came to his senses, and he began to talk nonsense, saying that he wanted to suspend the uprising, and some said that he wanted to do it quickly.

"Enough, make a fuss, Tokugawa-kun, you are the principal, and now that things have an accident, you see what to do, so quickly come up with an idea."

Sei Kazutori was a fiery person, and when he was so noisy by everyone, even if he was angry, he suddenly pulled out the katana at his waist, and roared wildly with an angry split.

"Hmm...... how is Sei-kun going to deal with it?"

Tokugawa Minglan is a member of the Tokugawa family, and he is not very loyal to the Wa King, the reason why he plans to rescue the Wa King first is nothing more than thinking about coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and now, the Qing army has controlled the entire Kyoto Imperial Palace, and it is impossible to successfully rescue the Wa King, of course, for Tokugawa Minglan, it doesn't matter if he can't save it, there are many royal relatives with the blood of the Wa King, and it's a big deal to choose one to be a puppet, but he doesn't dare to say it openly, After a moment of silence, he decided to kick the ball back to Kazutori Sei.

"Hit! His Majesty the Emperor can't fall into the hands of the Qing people, and if you go in, we will add up to 40,000 troops, and I'm afraid of it! ”

Sei Kazutori didn't have as many fancy intestines as Tokugawa Minglan at all, and he didn't think about the meaning behind the sudden actions of the Qing army, thinking that he had a strong soldier in his hand and a new musket in his hand, he really didn't put the Qing Marines who only had 3,000 troops in his eyes, and roared arrogantly.

"That's right, hit!"

"Kill all the Qing people and rescue His Majesty the Emperor!"

"For His Majesty the Emperor, why not break the jade!"

……

Among the dozen or so daimyo present, half of them were militants of the Shaozhuang faction, and they had long thought about meeting with the Qing army.

"You can't fight, His Majesty the Emperor is in the hands of the Qing army, in case of an accident, who can be responsible?"

"That's it, you can't fight indiscriminately, according to the old man, the army of the Western lords is about to arrive, and I will wait and besiege the palace."

"I can't fight, the Qing people are fierce, if I hurt His Majesty the Emperor, what should I do?"

……

Compared with the stunned young daimyo, the old and serious people obviously have much more concerns, and they have opened their mouths to stop the clamor of the young Zhuang faction, and the two sides have argued, and the scene will inevitably become a mess......
