Chapter Seventy-Five: The Assassination Attempt
A few days later, Mo Tie rushed to Songjiang Mansion, took a boarding boat, and went to sea.
During this period, the emperor was called Hou Mizuo after his death, and he ascended the throne ten years ago, and now he is only twenty and five, which is considered a young emperor.
Twenty years ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi received a boxed lunch, and Tokugawa Ieyasu began the Tokugawa shogunate era that lasted for more than two hundred years. However, he did not live long, he hung up a few years ago, and now his son Tokugawa Hidetada is a great shogun.
Mo Tie's plan was very simple, first assassinate the Imperial Family, and then forcibly kill Tokugawa Hidetada head-on.
The Emperor is the spiritual belief of the Japanese slaves, and if Mo Tie secretly obliterates the people of the Imperial Family one by one, presumably the hearts of the Japanese slaves will collapse and collapse.
Shogun Tokugawa was the strongest of all the daimyos, and taking his head out of the army should plunge Wajima back into chaos.
The destination of this merchant ship was not Wajima, but the South Sea, so when it was halfway through, Mo Tie would take a small boat and continue to move forward.
Murong Wandai was simply stunned when he learned of his decision, thinking that he was a big fool.
Of course he's not stupid, he can become a dragon. On the way, if you come across a fish that swims faster, you will eat it and turn into a fish.
Isn't that how the biological editing system is used, constantly devouring and evolving in different environments to adapt to the current environment, after all, the fittest survive.
Eventually, Mo Tie landed in a small fishing village.
There was no problem with the sealed and preserved fire folds and other things, and I ate a cooked whole fish feast that night.
Assassination, Mo Tie is a novice, and it all depends on exploration. Fortunately, his congenital conditions are unique, and the agility of the feline allows him to move silently; Infrared thermal vision allows him to see the target clearly through many obstacles; Hawkeye's long-range observation ability, combined with the silver-white iron bow, allows him to easily snipe any target......
The landing place was still some distance from Kyoto, and he practiced assassination while marching.
As for the targets of assassination, it would be good to find the kind of well-defended houses, some of which are wealthy merchants, some are samurai daimyo, and even pirates who are resting at home.
Specially picked the time of night, while people were asleep, Mo Tie could climb over the low wall with a single jump. Avoid the night watchman and sneak towards the house where the owner is sleeping.
Sometimes, he would try to use the color-changing gene to turn his body into night, narrowly passing under the noses of the night watchmen.
When you get to the owner's room, whether you are bare hands or with a knife, as long as you can kill the other party quietly.
It is also necessary to grasp the timing of the escape, it is best to run away before anyone finds the deceased, or you can hide to the side before taking the opportunity to escape.
In this way, Mo Tie almost never missed, making many people in villages and towns think that it was haunted, but the monks took the opportunity to make a fortune in the name of exorcism.
But when their host is also found dead in the room, who should they go to summon spirits?
Sometimes, Motetsu would overhear some conversation between the samurai, about the affairs between the daimyo and the Tokugawa shogun. Although it is all important information, it is useless to him, just a group of dying people.
Of course, there are also some small probability coincidences, such as being seen by someone and then being besieged. As a result, the local village will be completely slaughtered and burned to the ground. When someone came here, they thought it was just a natural disaster.
After two months of "disappearing", Mo Tie gradually approached the Kyoto area.
Kyoto was the most prosperous city on the island at the time, with crowded houses and a large population. There are also various shop markets, where there are hordes of samurai ronin in the streets, and the guests of the customs hall hang around all day long, and girls who walk around with clogs, hiding behind the doors......
By the way, I've heard that there is no absolute realm in the kimono......
Mo Tie thought that his disguise was very good, but as a result, many people stared at him. It wasn't until he saw the top of his head that the streets were full of glitz that he realized that he was too tall.
Forget it, let's escape into the darkness.
After a period of observation, he discovered that the emperor would not leave his residence, probably one of the ways to maintain his mysterious appearance.
The guards at the emperor's residence were much weaker than he thought, and only samurai sent by the Tokugawa family patrolled the surroundings.
After a few nights of fumbling, Mo Tie was able to run horses in the emperor's courtyard.
So, one morning, when Emperor Gomizuo's maid went to serve His Majesty and got up, she saw a headless corpse at the foot of the bed.
The screams woke everyone up and set off the chaos that followed in the months that followed, a period that some later called "the beginning of the post-Warring States period."
Mo Tie made the emperor's head well, found a place to bury it, and had to take it with him when he left, I don't know why Ye Xianggao's old man hated the Japanese so much, and he insisted on seeing the head of the "Bird Emperor" before stopping.
For some time afterward, Mo Tie continued to hide in the dark, inquiring about the emperor's successor and family relatives in various hidden ways.
It didn't take long for the Heavenly Emperor family to start dying, and this time the heads were still there, but they were all open. There are many people involved, including the emperor's siblings and the children he had with his siblings......
Due to the huge size of the Heavenly Emperor family, Mo Tie couldn't tell their kinship for a while, anyway, he just assassinated them one by one according to the information he had stolen.
In the end, the next emperor was left to be the successor and was left to let the Tokugawa family send more people to protect him.
And so for several more months, the Emperor was terrified all day long, like a frightened bird, and was suspicious of everything he saw.
Tokugawa Hidetada also frowned all day, he had been on the battlefield, he didn't believe in the ghosts and gods at all, and besides, all the dead people could see that they were hacked to death with iron weapons. Everything indicates that there is a master hiding in the shadows who is targeting him, preventing him from passing on the Tokugawa shogunate, which was established by his father himself.
After Mo Tie killed the last person who might have something to do with the emperor, he honed his assassination skills and was able to appear in public.
Ready, Mo Tie carried a silver-white longbow on his back, two embroidered spring knives in his hands, and six wrought iron rods on his waist and hips, and slowly appeared in front of the Emperor's Mansion.
"Who? Stop, don't go closer. The samurai guarding the door spoke viciously.
Mo Tie turned a deaf ear and continued walking.
"Bastard, you're welcome if you don't stop." The samurai had already drawn his sword.
"Yayay......" the samurai shouted and rushed forward, clenching the handle of his sword with both hands, and attacking Mo Tie in a vertical slash.
Mo Tie didn't intend to use the embroidered spring knife to knock him hard, and pulled out an iron rod with his left hand and swept over.
The sword and the man were broken, and the contents of the samurai's stomach were scattered all over the ground, and the scene was very bloody.
Kicking open the door, Mo Tie swung his knife and slashed the people in the emperor's residence, and soon killed the would-be emperor's residence.
The quasi-emperor was also a young man, standing at the door and watching Mo Tie kill, he didn't even hide from it. Maybe for him, it is better to be relieved as soon as possible by the cup bow snake shadow all day long.
