CHAPTER XXVI

Today is a special day. Kyoto's government affairs hall held a meeting today. In order to mobilize thousands of police officers to investigate the incident in Kyoto but found nothing, and several bigwigs were assassinated, but the National Police Agency did nothing to hold them accountable.

There is no doubt that this is a typical political exchange. It is a place for old and new factions, to compromise. No matter how important the dead are, but in the eyes of these living people. They are just a conduit for profit. And this time, there is no doubt that the reformers are at a disadvantage.

Whether it's the police department or the military. The reformers have the majority of it. But correspondingly, the person in charge that night was also a central figure of the reformers. Yama Prefecture has a friend sitting in the Kyoto Police Department, and this position must not be lost. At least until a suitable heir is found, it will be fine if you have friends in Yama County.

So he wasn't worried about his future. He worries that after this incident, the rapid reform may be met with great resistance.

There is also his right-hand man Goro Fujita. In this incident, not only will he be unable to protect his position, but he may also be imprisoned. Youpeng in Shanxian couldn't help but mourn for his subordinates for a second. However, it occurred to him that Fujita didn't seem to be here. It is said that this meeting should be held accountable. But why hasn't he arrived yet? Obviously, he has arranged for someone to bring him here.

And at this time, the emperor's envoy happened to ask this question.

"As far as I know, the operation that night. It was caused by a police officer's misinformation. Where is he? We allowed him to defend himself on the spot. ”

One of the guards spoke up.

"We've sent someone to the police department. , but according to the police department's answer, they have already brought people. Mr. Shan Shan, you can bring your subordinates here. ”

There are friends in Shanxian County who are suddenly blinded. When did I bring Fujita over. Didn't you say that the emperor's envoy would personally send someone to press it over? At this time, Fujita faintly realized that something was wrong. But it was already too late, and a distant explosion sounded. Then came the second tone, the third tone. Explosions rang out from far and near, resounding in Kyoto.

Every point is exploding, every gathering area is burning. It doesn't matter if it's a commercial area or a residential area. The flames spread uncontrollably, and countless screams, wailings, and weepings of pain enveloped the whole of Kyoto. It seemed that in an instant, hell and earth coincided.

The ronins laughed wildly and threw their canisters of fire oil into the streets. This is not their city. Few people can understand the hatred of the last ronin of the shogunate period for this era.

Their kendo is useless. The popularity of muskets made it easy for a police officer who had been training for a month to kill a swordsman who had been learning swords for more than ten years. What's more, most of the ronin swordsmanship is not that strong.

In the end, even the sword was not allowed to be worn. They pursued the way of the sword all their lives, but it was completely destroyed by a government decree. There are other livelihood skills that these ronins don't understand. After the reform of the new government, the government, in order to completely destroy this class, consciously or unconsciously publicized their negative news.

The people hated them, and they couldn't find a few, even if it was manual work. In Takeda Kanyanagi's house, there are hundreds of ronins lying down. What kind of life they are. Living in the woods, Takeda's servants threw food into the woods as if they were feeding dogs. Then watch them come out and grab it. Lived on the streets, dying of sickness and starvation, or being raised like dogs by the rich. That's the current state of these ronins.

Then Lu Qiming appeared and threw a lot of money. Food, good swords, everything you need. They don't need to worry about life, they don't need to sleep on the streets. What's more, the sword in their hands finally has a meaning of existence.

Destroying the city, it looks like a crazy plan. But for them, it's like an outlet. The city never treated them well, that destroyed it. It satisfies the dark desires in the hearts of countless ronin.

They set fires and killed indiscriminately. Look at those people who were originally well-fed and well-fed, living happily ever after, falling under their swords. All this makes them bloodthirsty and crazy. At the same time, the fire and the killing set off a chain effect.

Never underestimate the darkness of humanity in the face of danger. Driven by those ronins, countless dark and tyrannical thoughts were aroused. A large number of criminals who fished in troubled waters began to take advantage of the chaos. Throughout Kyoto, the darkness of human nature spreads like a flame.

"Now I'm starting to really believe that you're going to destroy the country. It's unbelievable that you have accomplished such a huge and crazy plan in one month. The voice of the Udo Bladeguard came from behind.

"It's not a crazy plan at all. The only difficulty in the whole project is to collect the oil. Fortunately, those crooked nuts don't care about the so-called contraband. ”

"Isn't that a plan? You secretly gathered hundreds of people and set fire to the whole of Kyoto. With the current level of fire, and the level of chaos, it is impossible to extinguish the fire. After a dozen hours, the whole of Kyoto will be reduced to ashes. ”

"It's not as exaggerated as you might think. What I have done is nothing more than detonating the hidden contradictions in this country. Every change is accompanied by sacrifices and the loss of a large number of vested interests. As a result, those who have lost their interests will inevitably be opposed to the reformers. This creates an irreconcilable contradiction.

The reformers will do everything in their power to suppress this contradiction. Until they are completely forgotten. However, in today's Dongying, the reform has not yet reached that stage. The contradiction remains, and I pierce it. This is a special country, a special time period, a chance that can be called a chance. Look at the crazy figures, each of them is looking forward to the death of this country. Because this new country, took everything from them. ”

"What's next? What are you going to do? ”

"We went to the police station, and now all the officers must have gone to put out the fire. We're going to take control of it now. Take a team of obedient ronin, and let's go to the police department's weapons depot. ”
