Chapter 543: The Japanese Exit from Tokyo
Sakurako's next words made Meiji more than just shocked.
"Brother Huang, my little sister is here to persuade you to surrender." Sakurako spoke.
Her words were so straightforward and simple that they were a little jaw-dropping.
Of course, the reason why she spoke so frankly was because she understood Meiji's temper
"What?" Meiji lost his voice.
He was frightened by Sakurako's words, although he was already planning to give up, but, even so, he would not consider surrendering at all, if he surrendered, then what would he become, he was the emperor of the Japanese Empire, the emperor loved by thousands of subjects, how could he do such a betrayal of the Yamato nation.
When pigs fly.
And if Sakurako wasn't his sister, Meiji would simply think that the person who said this must have lost his mind, and besides, this matter is obvious, it is impossible for him to do such a thing that violates the general righteousness of the country and the nation, not to mention, the Yamato nation is a superior nation that transcends any race and stands on the entire national pyramid, and the emperor, who is the vanguard of this excellent race, how can he surrender.
Of course, this is only Meiji, it is the unilateral opinion of the Japanese, if it is put in the eyes of others, they will think, Meiji is crazy, not only him, but probably all Japanese are crazy, standing at the top of the nation? Bah, really think that you are the Allah of this world, really think that you are better than other races, bah, you can only say, I don't know the so-called Meiji, I don't know the so-called Yamato nation.
A group of frogs at the bottom of the well, who don't even know the word equality, deserve to be excellent, phew!
"Brother Huang, my little sister knows that this matter is very difficult for you! However, this is the most advantageous choice for us at the moment, and it is important to observe festivals, but the Imperial Brother should also consider it for the subjects of the Great Japanese Empire. For the sake of the interests of the nation, if we confront the Taiping Army to the end, we can only embark on a road of no return in the end, and even our Yamato nation will be wiped out, and at that time, we, the royal family of the empire, will become sinners through the ages. Let's ask, what kind of face do we have to meet our ancestors and ancestors? Sakurako said sincerely.
She came this time, in addition to being a lobbyist, she was also really thinking about the Yamato nation, and she also wanted to find a way out for the Yamato nation, and it was obvious that the road of confrontation with the Taiping Army was no longer possible.
"Little sister, you don't need to say it anymore, even if your words have more reason. I can't get rid of you, I am the emperor of the Japanese Empire, have you ever seen the emperor of the Japanese Empire who surrendered, do you think your imperial brother can do such a thing that violates the spirit of bushido and violates the integrity of the nation? Besides, the subjects of the Yamato nation must not be a bad breed, they are definitely good, I believe. They're going to stand with me, so. If you don't hear this, don't say it again in the future, otherwise, don't blame the emperor for ignoring the brother-sister relationship. "Meiji straightened his face, very strictly.
In the end, his words became more and more harsh, almost equivalent to rejecting Sakurako's mention in one mouth.
And Sakurako had long expected this to be the result. But she was still a little disappointed when these words came out of Meiji's mouth, and at the same time, it was almost certain that her persuasion had failed.
Other words. There is no need to say some of the words she prepared for the rest of the story.
"Brother Huang, if you say this, the little sister really has nothing to say, but the little sister still asks the royal brother to think about it, take 10,000 steps back, even if the royal brother is unwilling to do this kind of thing that goes against his heart, at least he should withdraw from Tokyo City, the little sister failed to persuade him to surrender this time, and the Taiping army will definitely break the city regardless of a single qiē, so the city of Tokyo will be broken, then, please make a decision as soon as possible." Sakurako said worriedly.
No matter how things change in this world, the only thing that continues to pull is the blood relationship between these relatives, Sakurako saw that the persuasion could not be successful, so he tried to drop Meiji to evacuate early, if he could go one step earlier, then he would be safe sooner.
Meiji, however, shook his head and was unmoved.
"Your Majesty, the princess's words are very true, please evacuate as soon as possible." Hirobumi Ito, who had been listening to the conversation between the Meiji siblings for a long time, also joined the ranks of the admonition.
In fact, from the moment he saw Sakurako, Ito Hirobumi had already guessed that Sakurako must have a plan here, but he didn't expect Sakurako to be a lobbyist for the Taiping Army, he was surprised, and he was really worried in his heart, for fear that Meiji would accept this matter if he was soft-hearted, if so, then something big would happen, so, several times, he wanted to interject, but in the end he endured it, he chose to believe Meiji, because, he knows Meiji better than anyone else, Meiji categorically will not agree with what Sakurako said.
And the last qiē proves that the one who knows Meiji is really Ito Hirofumi.
Therefore, when Sakurako began to persuade Meiji to retreat, Ito Hirobumi lost no time in helping out.
He believed that as long as he and Sakurako formed a united front and reached a consensus on Meiji's matter, then they would be able to persuade Meiji to leave.
So, after he interjected, he immediately cast a grateful glance at Sakurako.
As long as it's for Meiji, Ito Hirobumi is grateful.
Seeing this, Sakurako smiled and shook her head, she had the same idea as Hirobumi Ito, they were both for Meiji's good.
"You, you are caught in injustice." Meiji sighed.
Under the repeated persuasion of the two, Meiji's original commitment to Tokyo seemed to be shaken.
In addition, he began to seriously consider the words of Sakurako and Ito Hirobumi.
"Your Majesty, the great husband is able to bend and stretch, indomitable, His Majesty is a wise hero, and he must know the mystery of this, so I hope that His Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible and withdraw immediately, as long as His Majesty is still there, the Great Japanese Empire still has the capital to fight with the Taiping Army, and it will definitely be able to make a comeback." Hirobumi Ito is full of pride.
His words made people's blood boil and blood gushing.
Hirobumi Ito is also a master of agitation.
"Yes, Brother Emperor, Prime Minister Ito's words are indeed good words, and I hope that Brother Huang will listen to them, believe them, and follow them." Sakurako also added firewood to the side.
She had to take advantage of the situation to step up her efforts and completely persuade Meiji to evacuate.
And Meiji didn't express his opinion immediately after listening to the words of the two, but frowned and thought hard.
Once again, his heart was in a state of contradiction.
It's a hard time for him to decide, but. It is also an indisputable fact that his perseverance is no longer stable.
I saw Meiji walking back and forth in front of the two with his hands behind his back, he was thinking about it, thinking about it with his heart.
And he walked like this for more than a dozen rounds, and finally stopped.
And then. His gaze swept over the faces of Hirobumi Ito and Sakurako, and finally looked into the distance, and then after a long while, a soft sigh was heard.
"Withdraw!" Meiji Road.
He finally made a decision.
And although he said this in a loud voice, it made both Ito Hirobumi and Sakurako feel uplifted, and both of them were relieved at this time, and at the same time, their faces couldn't help but show a knowing smile.
"Yes. The minister will arrange it. Ito Hirobumi was afraid that Meiji would change his mind again, so he hurriedly said.
After saying that, he saluted Meiji and Sakurako, and then hurried to arrange the retreat.
And if you can say that Meiji left, Ito Hirobumi is also satisfied.
"Little sister, what about you, are you also evacuating with me?" Meiji stared at Ito's distant figure for a moment, then turned his head. Said to Sakurako.
He really hoped that Sakurako could take the initiative to leave with him, after all, she was the princess of the Great Japanese Empire. With a special status, he can't allow her to surrender to the enemy, as for what has happened, he can forgive her, but he will never allow her to continue to mess around willfully.
And after Meiji decided to evacuate. The whole person has also changed, and his heart is slowly rising again, and when his heart comes together, he has become the powerful emperor Meiji again.
So, as it stands. I'm afraid Sakurako's freedom is no longer up to her.
"Brother Huang, the little sister is now Huang Xu's person, so please forgive the little sister for not being able to evacuate with the eldest brother." Sakurako gritted her teeth and hesitated for a moment, then hardened her heart.
She couldn't have it both ways, she had to make a choice.
"But you're the princess of the Empire." Meiji Yan sù authentic.
He wasn't going to let Sakurako go.
"Brother Huang, I'm sorry." Sakurako said with a little guilt.
Between family and love, she chooses love, Huang Xu is the first man she fell in love with when she grows up, she has decided to follow him, so nothing and no one will let her decision change in the slightest.
"Okay, little sister, you don't have to say anything more, I just say one word, you have to go with us." Meiji said almost in an irrefutable tone.
He has also decided that if Sakurako doesn't go, he will use strong.
"Imperial brother, you," Sakurako exclaimed.
She didn't expect Meiji's reaction to be so strong.
"How about it, little sister, you think about it again." Meiji persuaded him softly.
He's both soft and hard, in short, no matter what means he takes, he has to take Sakurako away today.
In Meiji's mind, Sakurako's surrender to China was no different from his own surrender, so he would never allow such a thing to happen.
"Brother Huang, are you forcing me?" Sakurako smiled bitterly.
This is already an obvious fact, and Sakurako can't believe it.
When she came, she really didn't expect such a thing to happen, she never thought that Meiji would do this to her, but it happened.
Her heart was indescribably bitter.
"Little sister, the royal brother is for your good." Meiji Wen said.
He tried his best to comfort Sakurako, to be honest, he was not willing to take drastic measures, after all, it was best if brother and sister did not turn against each other, besides, Meiji really cared about Sakurako.
"Brother Huang, if you are really good for the little sister, then please let the little sister go." Sakurako begged.
is still the same sentence, before she tore her face, Sakurako also had to beg softly, after all, the love between brother and sister is still there.
"Impossible." Meiji is a categorical refusal.
Meiji's words were a bit too harsh, and after he finished speaking, he felt a little inappropriate, so he quickly added, "I'm doing it for your good." ”
"For my good, for my good, do you just ignore my inner feelings, Brother Huang, you are really a good royal brother of my little sister." Sakurako's language is desolate.
She was disappointed in Meiji.
"Little sister, you will understand the hard work of the imperial brother one day, now, there is no need to say anything, you go, of course, if you don't want to go, you have to go." Meiji hardens the heart.
Anyway, he's going to have to take Sakurako with him today.
When Sakurako heard this, her face was red, white, and then blue, and between the changes in her face, her heart was also engaged in a sharp ideological struggle.
What to do? Is she really going to go with Meiji, can't, absolutely not, she has to explain to Meiji, if Meiji doesn't let her go, then, she will die in front of Meiji.
She made up her mind, looked up, and prepared for a showdown with Meiji.
However, the moment she looked up, she only felt a pain in her neck, and then she didn't know anything.
"Little sister, I'm sorry, the imperial brother doesn't want to do this, but if not, can you voluntarily go with the imperial brother? The royal brother is also forced to do this. Meiji held Sakurako's soft body and whispered to himself.
It turned out that Meiji saw that Sakurako had no possibility of changing her mind, so she took the opportunity to knock Sakurako unconscious while Sakurako was in a trance.
And only in this way can he take Sakurako with him.
In the end, all the qiē was as he wished.
And shortly after Sakurako fainted, Hirobumi Ito came to report that a qiē was ready, and they could withdraw.
As a result, Meiji and Ito Hirobumi led a retreat from Tokyo to Shikoku.
Tokyo, the symbol of Japan, eventually fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire. (To be continued......)
