In the dense gunfire, a great purge kicked off at this moment!

But in fact, this whole operation is simply a blitzkrieg.

Miyamoto was undoubtedly prepared, and Uesugi was by no means the only officer to respond to his call.

At the moment when the signal was sent, many officers in the Eighth Army of the Imperial Army acted at the same time, allowing Miyamoto Shingen to take control of the Eighth Army overnight, and at the same time completed a wave of bloody purges!

But that's just the beginning.

The city in which the Eighth Army of the Imperial Army was stationed was located adjacent to the capital.

Before everyone could react, the Eighth Army Corps, which had occupied the railway station, rushed straight to the capital, and officially arrived at the capital railway station at four o'clock in the morning the next day.

At that time, the 11th Army Corps, which was responsible for the permanent presence in the capital, was directly attacked by the 8th Army Corps without even receiving the news.

At the same time, the most important thing is that within the 11th Army, there are officers who responded to Miyamoto Shingen's call, and even the other party is a lieutenant colonel.

Under the cooperation of the two sides, the 11th Army Corps, which was taken by surprise, completely collapsed internally, and did not even show much resistance before it was completely defeated.

During this period, the Emperor's Palace, where the news was received, could be described as chaos.

Yamamoto Yoshikazu, who was furious, transferred almost all the Praetorian Guards in his palace to the area around the main hall and protected himself.

However, how many people can there be in the Praetorian Guard? One or two thousand is almost the sky.

On the other hand, on the side of the Eighth Army and the Eleventh Army Corps, even after a wave of purges, their strength is still at the corps level, and they can be killed by piling up troops.

Not to mention that the Praetorian Guards of this palace will only be more unbearable than the Imperial Army.

On weekdays, the Imperial Army still has to undergo rigorous training, and this Praetorian Guard has long since become a place where a lot of second-generation officials have mixed qualifications.

On average, at least six out of ten Praetorian Guards have backgrounds.

And these boys paddle a lot of water on weekdays, and don't train or anything, can the top boss really train them? The parents stood up one by one, the officials were all older than him, and whoever made him a little stumbling block could make him unable to eat and walk around.

In this way, for them, the commanders of the Praetorian Guard basically turn a blind eye, and occasionally His Majesty the Emperor asks, which is naturally to say better.

Anyway, after so many years, nothing has happened, let alone the soldiers under his hands, even if it is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, they have changed dozens of times, and looking through history, there is really no time when they are really needed to go to the battlefield to fight, or to defend against foreign enemies.

The Praetorian Guard is a flashy force that is used to show off the prestige of His Majesty the Emperor, which is almost the consensus of the military.

In this way, the gates of the Emperor's palace were soon blasted open by cannons.

Stepping on the corpses of countless Praetorian Guards, a large number of soldiers of the Eighth and Eleventh Legions rushed into the palace with rifles, but the result was unexpected......

In this palace guarded by the Praetorian Guards, it was empty.

In this regard, Miyamoto Shingen directly grabbed a few Praetorian Guards and came over for questioning.

But for this situation, the other party also looked incredulous, and even felt cheated.

His Majesty the Emperor is not in the palace they are guarding, so why did they die so many brothers?

Shingen Miyamoto, who confirmed the information, quickly sorted out his thoughts.

Yoshikazu Yamamoto was definitely in this palace before, and this is information that has been confirmed.

And after that, their army surrounded the palace, in other words, the people inside could not get out.

Then, the answer is obvious, the other party is either still hiding somewhere in this palace, or there is a secret passage inside this palace, and their Emperor Majesty has escaped from the secret passage.

To be honest, Miyamoto Shingen is more inclined to the latter, because this palace really can't see any place where people can hide.

"Colonel, it's empty down here!"

Due to the construction work in his early years, Uesugi Ryu also vaguely sensed that something was wrong while walking through a certain part of the palace, and after some beating, he decisively found that it was empty underneath.

"Lift this piece open!"

At the sound of the order, several soldiers around came up one after another to help.

Soon, a pitch-black walkway leading to the underground appeared in front of everyone.

Needless to say, he directly signaled Uesugi Ryuya to bring a force and chase after him along the tunnel, while Miyamoto Shingen himself took the remaining troops and occupied the Emperor's Palace.

A whole staircase leading to the ground, because it is trapezoidal, so they don't know how many meters underground they are at this time.

Anyway, after about ten minutes of descending the stairs, the road in front of me finally smoothed out.

After walking for about five or six minutes, an iron gate blocked their way.

"No, the door is locked from the other side."

The soldier under his command who confirmed the situation said.

In this regard, Uesugi Ryuya, who obviously didn't plan to consume this door, naturally chose to open the lock violently.

I have to say that sometimes a little simple and crude, many things can be solved.

After following the underground passage, he finally found that this secret passage was actually connected to the sewers of the capital......

This is a problem, the sewers that extend in all directions are indeed a good place for people fleeing for their lives, but for the chasing party, it is not very friendly.

There is no other way, at such a time, there is no choice but to launch a carpet search and have one of his soldiers turn back to the palace to report the situation.

At the same time, on the other side, Miyamoto Shingen, who remained in the emperor's palace, was also busy making follow-up arrangements.

This time, he contacted a group of like-minded officers to carry out the operation.

The main members of it were concentrated in the Eighth and Eleventh Legions.

However, in addition to these two legions, there is also the 13th Army Corps currently stationed on this island!

Having taken the means of a quick battle and a quick victory, they captured the capital and captured the Emperor's palace as quickly as possible, so naturally they could not have had time to confirm the attitude of the 13th Army Corps of the Army.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain proper vigilance.

And just when Miyamoto Shingen was thinking so, a soldier under the command of Uesugi Ryuya had already turned back down the tunnel and made a report on the situation below.

After listening to the report, Miyamoto Shingen quickly thought of what had just happened.

"In the current situation, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to escape, I am afraid there is only one way to live, and that is to defect to the 13th Army Corps of the Army......"
