Chapter 220: The Civil War Breaks Out

"For the sake of the Emperor! Onboard! ”

"For the shogunate! Fight the enemy! ”

Outside the main hall of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto Castle, fierce shouts and fights broke out with the shogunate army garrison, and a large number of 'wild samurai' who appeared out of nowhere actually launched an organized and disciplined charge against the shogunate army and the imperial palace stationed in Kyoto!

The battles here in Kyoto are almost entirely melee from the Cold Weapons period, where samurai rely on their skillful battle skills and courage to fight to the death for their loyal lords, or 'mystery men' who promise benefits!

Kyoto, a very prosperous city in Japan, naturally gathered a large number of people, this number of people, the number of poor wild samurai who came to beg for a living is naturally large, with the Japanese country has been peaceful for a long time, the local daimyo and even the shogunate regime in order to reduce expenses, a large number of lower-level samurai have lost their sources of income, so that the security of Japan is very problematic, especially in the big cities such a mixed place, it is even more serious!

If it was good in peacetime, those wild samurai would not dare to commit murder in the streets even if they had a worn-out sword on their bodies, but in such a mess in Kyoto, except for the battle at the Imperial Palace and the barracks, a large number of violent incidents suddenly broke out in other irrelevant places where neither side had the energy to take care of them!

Not every wild samurai is so lucky that he can gain favor, or he really wants to fight for the emperor and join the dragon heroes or something......

Most of the wild samurai who have no way to recognize reality and even those idle thieves and robbers ushered in their revelry at the moment when the chaos broke out in Kyoto!

In addition to the fierce fighting in the Imperial Palace area and the military camps, the Kyoto city area, which has lost its security power, has emerged from the dark corners with a large number of violent people armed with sharp weapons. Criminals', they are either lone rangers and wild samurai, or small-scale underground thugs in groups of three or five people, constantly smashing the fragile wooden doors where Japanese civilians and even wealthy merchants live, smiling and rushing into the house that they have been coveting for an unknown amount of time, taking away what they like, killing the enemies they are not used to looking at on weekdays, or simply just to snap the beautiful young women who only dared to watch from a distance before......

The unwilling rebellion against the guards hired by the commoners and wealthy merchants turned the entire city of Kyoto into a huge ...... Gangster Arena!

Unlike the Imperial Palace and the barracks, where people die every moment, there is a lot of movement in the city of Kyoto, but not many people actually die......

Cowardly civilians will hide and let them take it, young women......

Since fate can't be resisted, let's enjoy it......

Those rats and wild warriors in the dark, although they are a little crazy, they will not kill people when they see them......

They're just bad guys, not a bunch of crazy murderers!

Of course, if someone doesn't give money or doesn't let them pop, then it is inevitable that something will happen......

The chaos in the city of Kyoto was an inconsequential detail for the shogunate and the rebels who supported the emperor, and as long as the two sides decided the winner, the victorious side could send a few teams of soldiers to clean up the rabble that took advantage of the chaos and looted and snapped!

The Kyoto Rebellion had long been expected by the Tokugawa family, and although the Tokugawa family had never figured out where so many organized and disciplined rebels shouting for the emperor had emerged from the seemingly peaceful Kyoto City, this did not prevent them from sending a large number of reinforcements!

The rebels who suddenly attacked did have an advantage in the early stage, and even stormed the palace hall for a time, but the shogunate samurai who desperately resisted bought enough time, and their blood was not shed in vain, supporting the arrival of the shogunate cavalry reinforcements outside!

And then...... And then there is no more......

It was a bloody one-sided massacre!

The scattered infantry faced the elite shogunate cavalry, even the feudal cavalry without a wall charge, it was easy enough to crush!

What's more, the rebels do not have a numerical advantage!

The Kyoto Rebellion lasted for 3 days and was declared a failure!

The young emperor is even rumored to be forced by the shogunate samurai to pee his pants with a knife, and he has grown so big, the young emperor has never had such close contact with a katana, especially the position of contact is still the neck!

Well, the shogunate samurai are actually preparing to send the emperor who can't be taken away with a sword when they can't resist it, and the political significance of using the ready-made emperor and the emperor newly raised by the rebels is still different!

The Kyoto Revolution was almost the signal of the outbreak of the civil war, and the expeditionary fleet of the Han Empire did not know what to think, and did not lead the gunboats to attack the port towns that were ceded in accordance with the provisions of the contract in Article 21, but quietly watched the tens of thousands of troops of the Tokugawa Shogunate who had completed the whole training leave Edo Castle and drive towards Kyoto!

Both Wang Gang and Mondora seem to be planning to wait for the Tokugawa family to settle the overall situation, and then easily accept those ceded port cities without a single soldier, in their eyes, it is better to die a hundred Japanese than to die a Han soldier!

Of course, Mondora would never tell the Tokugawa shogunate such a reason for not doing anything, and the reason that Mondora gave to the Tokugawa shogunate was very pertinent, the Han Empire army should maintain its strength and garrison the back road of the crusading army, so as to prevent the rebels from bulldozing the Tokugawa family all the way after the defeat of the crusade army!

Under the tone of Mondora's sincere respect for the Tokugawa family, the shogun had no choice but to accept this far-fetched reason, of course, the biggest reason why the shogun accepted it was that with such a strong army, the shogun did not think that he would lose!

You must know that even if the four powerful feudal clans in the southwest have attracted many daimyo vassals, the army that has gathered is only 20,000 people, but the Tokugawa shogunate has swelled to more than 50,000 after collecting the troops handed over by the daimyo from all over the country!

If it weren't for the fact that Mondora's people had been tightly controlling the life of the Tokugawa family's blood relatives and the shogun himself, the Tokugawa family would even want to try to see if they could reduce the 21 by half!

As for the complete defeat of the Han Empire, the Tokugawa family, which had already been beaten, did not dare to think of it......

Don't look at more than 50,000 people, it's a lot, but most of them are cold weapon troops, and the so-called thermal weapons are also old-fashioned iron cannon arquebuses and big guns, the weapons of the Han Empire are more advanced than those of Japan, but the army of the Tokugawa family is not a servant army of the Han Empire after all, why did Mondora give them weapons?

If you want a weapon, you can do it, the Tokugawa family only needs to hand over the control of the army, but the Tokugawa family will not agree to hand over the army! (To be continued.) Pen % Fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info)
