The private army of the shogunate family will return to the state before the civil war, and all the systems will remain unchanged, which can be regarded as the Tokugawa family's military force to maintain their own territory, but the Han Empire will send military inspectors to assist in training, saying that it is training, but in fact, the main role is to monitor, preventing the Tokugawa shogunate from following the example of the Han Empire and the European powers and training a modern army!

The only difference after the civil war may be that the Japanese emperor will have an extra standing army that does not obey his orders at all, and replace the private soldiers of the local daimyos!

The Han Empire did not mean to completely eradicate the feudal system of Japan, and the so-called ban on private soldiers here was not mandatory, but after the victory, all the daimyo lords and samurai clans at all levels were apportioned a new military training tax, and the financial resources were restricted from the daimyo to expand their armies!

Otherwise, with Japan's barren taxes, the Han Empire would not have been able to raise much of a standing army......

Japan is so poor!

Of course, these are all afterwords, and everything can only be executed after the rebels in front of us are resolved!

Hundreds of field guns were erected and bombarded the besieged city of Kyoto!

Mondora's Tiger Wolf Marines came so suddenly that the Emperor didn't have time to run away......

The top four clans in the southwest never expected that after a general battle with a scale of more than 100,000 people, the other side still had enough fresh troops to attack the city non-stop!

As a result, Kyoto Castle, which was intended to be the core of the new defensive line, was surrounded before it was fully arranged, and the Ashigaru samurai who were used as cover and vigilance in the surrounding area could not stop it for even a day......

The only good news for the emperor is that most of the retreating troops have been temporarily placed in Kyoto, so that the besieged Kyoto Castle does not have to worry about the lack of troops to defend the city......

It's just that the 'Southwest Coalition Army', which had high hopes under the emperor's crown, was bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces of the Tiger Wolf Marine Corps in less than a day, and it collapsed under the attack of the Japanese First Division!

With a loud bang, the tall city gate was blasted open by a large amount of gunpowder blasting, with the advent of the era of firearms, siege warfare gradually evolved from the head of the city to the city, and the European battlefield in the war of the Austrian succession, there were also sporadic street battles in the city, but because the European monarchs were keen to destroy the opponent's living forces and large-scale battles, there were very few siege battles, and generally after the enemy's main force was defeated, the towns behind basically raised the white flag......

This is mainly because of the large use of gunpowder, which makes the protection of the city wall lower and lower, and even the diamond-shaped fortress defense system that the Europeans are proud of has become less reliable under the increasing caliber of artillery!

Sometimes, it's not even as useful as a breastwork!

If the attack and defense of Kyoto were placed in Europe, even if the Japanese 1st Division blew through the city gate and rushed in on the gravel, the soldiers of the European powers would be able to resist for a while in the complex buildings in the city, but they would only be placed in Japan......

As soon as the city was lost, the morale of the Southwest Coalition Army, which was not already elite, fell to the point of despair!

To tell the truth, although the Japanese First Division was strictly trained by the instructors of the Han Empire and equipped with weapons that were not weaker than the Han soldiers, its combat effectiveness was really not strong......

After personally touring the barracks of the Japanese First Division, Mondola said unashamedly that he only needed less than 30% of the strength of the Japanese First Division of the Tiger and Wolf Marines to defeat it in the field!

It is conceivable that these officers and men of the Japanese First Division, who had not experienced the flames of war and had nothing to show for themselves, were just showing off their faces......

However, even if it is a good look, it has to be compared with whom, fighting against the feudal and backward military system that is an era behind and is not an elite in itself, or with the high morale of a big victory, the first battle of the Japanese First Division actually gave full play to its own strength!

Because they hit so well!

After being blasted from the city gates, the soldiers in the city almost only needed one salvo to surrender on their knees!

No matter how many soldiers there are on the opposite side!

The soldiers of the Japanese 1st Division, who were born in peasants, suddenly found themselves as if they had become heavenly soldiers, and everywhere they went, they disappeared in the snap of a finger......

This is Kyoto!

The capital of the entire country of Japan!

The Han Chinese and Indian soldiers didn't feel anything, but for these Japanese, Kyoto was a very sacred place, such a sacred place, and at this moment they were trampled underfoot, and they could do whatever they wanted!

Even the Emperor's Residence, which he didn't dare to look at before, could be rushed into it by the soldiers of the Japanese First Division, who looked like old hats!

The state of mind of these soldiers of the Japanese 1st Division had a subtle change when they attacked the city of Kyoto. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It seems that the Emperor's residence and the national capital are nothing!

However, after the city of Kyoto was defeated by the Japanese 1st Division, this battle to attack the imperial palace could not be occupied by these lower country mud legs!

After clearing out a small number of guards guarding the imperial palace, the officers and men of the Japanese 1st Division, under the restraint of the Han generals, firmly protected it and did not set foot in the slightest!

Inside the Imperial Palace are the ministers and the emperor of Japan who have fled in desperation!

Maybe there will be a few generals in the Southwest Coalition who can't escape!

These people, this kind of glory of trampling the head of a country, even the nominal head, under their feet, naturally has to be left to Mondora, the military commander!

Mondora rode a scavenged horse, with a guard in front of him and a soldier with a bayonet flintlock pistol in the back!

A group of hundreds of people ran mightily and stepped into the imperial palace surrounded by officers and soldiers of the Japanese First Division!

As soon as the guards who opened the way entered, sporadic musket shots rang out, either by mistake or by someone who really wanted to serve the emperor......

Disheveled~

Mondora stepped into the palace hall crowded with ministers, and his eyes swept directly to the thin emperor who was trembling and sitting on the top, only to see several military generals with full armor and equipment standing behind the pale Japanese emperor, and these generals had no reverence for the emperor at all......

This is quite normal, and in addition to commoners and farmers, samurai of some status in Japan know that the emperor is actually a mascot......

A pair of Tiger and Wolf Marines wearing black boat-shaped caps lived around the main hall, bayonets and flintlock pistols raised, aiming at the ministers and the full-fledged generals behind the emperor!

The generals suddenly turned pale, pulled out their katana swords and put them across the emperor's neck, and said in horror: "We are willing to admit defeat, we just ask you to let us leave Kyoto and regain our freedom, and we will leave immediately!" ”

Obviously, the status of these generals is not low, and they have already learned that Mondora is known for his thirst for murder, so they have to make this decision......

Mondora said expressionlessly, "What if it doesn't?" (To be continued.) )
