Chapter Twenty-Eight: Super Expansion (2) Crushing from the Ideas of the Times

As the capital of the shogunate, Kongokaku not only had the largest population and the most prosperous economy in Japan, but also gathered the largest number of garrisons and the highest science and technology.

When the Shogun's Mansion was attacked, a large number of samurai in the vicinity reacted through the corresponding alarm devices and began to march in unison towards the location of the council hall.

Obviously, at this point, there is nothing wrong with saying that those in power are the most afraid of death.

Although there is a desire to use Kabane, but for the safety of their lair, the shogunate has undoubtedly made great determination and great efforts, as can be seen from the performance in the anime, not only are there several high walls on the perimeter as protection, but also the entry and exit of the interior, only one rail can be realized. The council hall was the center of power that gathered most of the shogunate's ministers, and it was at the highest point of the entire walled city, and from above, you could clearly see the clouds floating in the air not far away.

If it weren't for the secret leadership of Lao Zhong Muye, according to Nanshan's original idea of breaking through, it would be impossible to enter without killing tens of thousands of people.

However, at this time, the first person to propose this complex defense setup has probably been greeted by the whole family.......

Before the large number of samurai gathered outside boarded the train bound for the inside and climbed up the tall building breathlessly, the familiar voice from the general had already appeared in all the external broadcasts.

"Subjects, please be quiet and listen to me......."

It's just that the original magnetic tone sound sounds a little panicked at this time.

"Here, I would like to reveal to you a truth that has been sealed for nearly ten years, that the culprit who caused all 400,000 troops to fall into the siege of Kabane was not my sister-in-law Mima Tentori, but the result of my calculations and a group of conservative ministers."

No one knows what kind of mixed feelings they have when they hear this truth.

Hesitation, disbelief, or anger at learning that this is a lie?

But for the outcome of the defeat of that crucial battle, most people knew very well that it was precisely because of the loss of this group of gathered elite forces that the frightened others could only stick to the walled city, watching a large part of the country being occupied by Kabane, while their own lives became more difficult and desperate day by day, so that any object suspected of being infected would be met with unprecedented hostility and fear from them.

"The Shogun must have been coerced......

Someone said that, but it didn't stop others from listening to the radio.

"Fearing that they would not be able to control the growing forces of the main war, with my covert acquiescence and support, many conservative ministers joined forces to withhold all the support provided to the front, and immediately after the initial defeat of the battle, they closed the passage to flee to the rear, so that all the 400,000 troops were annihilated in the offensive of Kabane."

Obviously, most people still have brains.

Not to mention the 400,000 army, even if it is 400,000 pigs, given enough time to catch them, they may not be able to catch them all.

What's more, everyone understands that Kabane only follows instincts, and so many people who are smarter than them can't escape a part of it.

Obviously, someone was behind the scenes, which led to the annihilation of 400,000 people, and only a few survived.

Moreover, at this time, most people remembered that as the son of the general who commanded the army at that time, Mima-sama was only twelve years old. No matter how talented he was in military affairs, it was impossible for such a young child to hold such an important position, obviously, this was only a nominal position, used to replace the general to go on the expedition, and in fact there was someone else who controlled the army.

Before the truth is revealed, they can only vaguely feel that something is wrong here, but they don't know why, because the relevant victims are all dead, and the general son who survived is just a puppet, and he may not even understand how he was defeated from beginning to end.

But now, they finally know why.

It turned out that this was a deliberate arrangement made by the general in order to facilitate his own removal from this major defeat, and he was so mad that he used his son!

Afterwards, he also put all the blame on a twelve-year-old child, which is so shameless and shameless!

"If that's the case, then, do we still want to save the general?"

This thought came to the minds of many people, not only because of the strong disgust after being deceived for so long, but also because of the more than ten times the number of family members and related relatives and friends behind the 400,000 young soldiers.

Maybe many of these people are relatives, friends, and family members of those victims at the beginning, and after knowing that the people who killed them were actually the current authorities and shoguns of the shogunate, they still want them to work hard for these shameless magnates?

I'm afraid I'm not dreaming!

Whoever they like to go, anyway, they just plan to come and paddle!

At this moment, if morale and the will to fight can be presented in an intuitive form, it can almost be seen that after these few words, the two are rapidly declining in a way that is visible to the naked eye.

It's just that what hit their enthusiasm the most is not the general's surrender and confession, but what Nanshan will talk about next.

"I believe that everyone has already heard the truth just now, so now, it is up to me to give you another choice.....

He told all the contradictions of interests, the several ways to defeat Kabane, and the ambitions of the Shikagawa family without a trace of concealment.

When they realized why they were trapped in a small walled city and could only travel to the outside world through Sunjo, which was a few days away, most people gave up on the idea of continuing to maintain the rule of the shogunate. There is a way to defeat Kabane, but each of them can only hide behind the high wall in fear, enduring the despair and depression that they do not know that they will fall one day. F, it's better not to do so.

In contrast, the Sifang Chuan family, who had already made it clear that the chariots and horses wanted to liberate the large tract of land that had been invaded by Kabane and lead everyone to regain their free life, had become the object of their admiration and support.

Especially after Nanshan announced that as long as he became a Kabaneri warrior, he would be able to obtain a large area of land outside the walled city for free, and the vast majority of people were boiling.

You must know that even a samurai who enjoys some privileges can barely maintain food and clothing for himself and a few family members in a walled city with limited land area.

I don't know who was the first to untie the high-pressure gas tank carried behind it, but in short, when the crisp sound of falling to the ground appeared, the sound of countless weapons being thrown down also sounded.

The firearms and equipment, which have been discarded like raindrops, have announced their choice.

What's more, some people have already decided on the spot to accept Cabaneri's transformation, and they are more willing to fight for the future with their own hands than to hide behind the backs of others!

This is the crushing of the ideas of the times!

In front of the vast land at their fingertips, no one can refuse a happier and better life.......

In contrast, the ministers who remained in the council hall were only shocked and panicked, and they finally understood why the Shikata Chuan family would betray the shogunate and the great shogun, it turned out that they were ready to replace them!
