A loud whistle made many ordinary people who lived near the port of Tokyo even bare to wash up, and hurriedly ran barefoot to the pier, although they were a little puzzled by the fact that there was a ship docked so early, but who wanted to care about that. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

For them, the busier the port of Tokyo, the better, because then they can make more money, but the erosion of the Japanese economy has led to fewer and fewer ships coming here now, the Americans like to dock in Yokohama, the Chinese Empire chose Yokosuka, and only Britain and France will occasionally visit here, so every time the whistle sounds, "it is like a war against time" and everyone will rush out of the house to run where.

But when a large number of coolies and foot clips arrived at the docks, they were dumbfounded, only to see thousands of students and ronins who had appeared out of nowhere, already crowding the entire dock, and strangely "all of them had headbands with the sign of chrysanthemum on their foreheads."

Who are they? How did you come here?

As the small French ship docked, the questions suddenly turned into countless horrors, because everyone saw that the ship began to carry rifles downward!

Something big is coming!

Almost immediately, everyone chose to hide, and everyone looked at the students and ronin in horror, "I don't understand what they are trying to do, don't you think Tokyo is chaotic enough?"

“！”

Seeing more and more people gathered around, "Uchino was already sweating profusely, and it would not be a while and a half for the five thousand rifles to be divided, fortunately, most of the students here had learned to shoot when they were in the United States, and the main ones among the five thousand people were the old army that was laid off back then, and they had already received training, so their combat effectiveness was still good" and they also knew how to arrange it, so they divided some people and choked the roads leading to the dock, And all the people who were watching were surrounded and could not leave.

When all 5,000 rifles were distributed, Uchino finally let out a long sigh of "immediately divide the men and horses into three groups" to occupy the Parliament building, one to go to the palace, and he himself took 3,000 men to the important Prime Minister's Palace.

As he arranged his mission, the armed students, veterans, and ronin rushed towards Chiyoda-ku, the heart of Tokyo, in three directions, and because it was still early, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but they were given the opportunity to rush forward.

But they clearly don't know what they're up against.

Chang Gui sat on the door post on the left side of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a cigarette in his mouth, which was originally the base camp of the three armies of the Prime Minister's Office, "a building with a European style, which looks incompatible with the wooden houses commonly seen around."

Beside him, two Type 97 light machine guns were all aimed at the main road leading here, in fact, this time in order to protect Saigo Congdao and prevent accidents, the above was originally going to send Nighthawk, but the Admiralty thought that the seal could complete this mission, so it sent him over.

In order to be safe, he brought a full 200 seals this time, and also specially strengthened the firepower, "There are as many as 12 light machine guns alone, and even four wild cats equipped with 127 mm vipers, which almost wrapped up the place."

In addition to them, the first 3,000 Korean soldiers to arrive were all ambushed around, and the second group of 5,000 soldiers should also arrive at the port of Tokyo, so everyone was waiting for those stupid birds to burrow into their pockets.

After extinguishing the cigarette butt that was only a little bit left," Chang Gui looked at his watch, and the time was fixed at 7:30, and at this time, there were more pedestrians on the street, "so that he didn't feel a little anxious," you must know that if more people leak the North Korean troops in ambush around, it will take a little more effort.

At this moment, a whistle suddenly came to mind overhead, "Everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see the lookout and sniper on the roof of the building" and pointed to the front.

Here it comes!

This voice made Saigo, who was standing in front of the window, tremble, although he didn't have a good impression of those rebels, "Because they can't understand the current situation at all, but after all, they are their own people, especially the 1,000 students studying in the United States, who are the only remaining elites in Japan." (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

"Your Majesty, please leave the window." Behind him, several closely protected seals saluted, separated Saigo from the window, and immediately took over the place, setting up a rifle with a scope.

Saigo took a few steps back from the road and sat down on the stool, a killing was inevitable, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like to meet these obviously elite Chinese soldiers when the rebels who hadn't even fired a few shots approached.

Downstairs, Chang Gui quickly got into the Wildcat 3 armored car and stood in the position of the shooter.

After improvement, the Wildcat 3 not only has strong firepower, but also makes the armor and speed much stronger after using a high-horsepower engine, and for the first time, the shooter is equipped with a cylindrical 13 mm steel plate that can block itself, which is enough to defend against 762 mm bullets.

Four wildcats lined up in a line right behind the gate of the Prime Minister's Office, and you can imagine what it would be like to open the gate and these monsters rush into the flat streets of Tokyo.

"Bang!"

The sniper on the roof has fired!

With the sound of gunfire, the running rebel team suddenly froze, "I saw the head of the veteran who was running in front like a watermelon exploded, and countless blood and brains mixed together, like raindrops on everyone's faces."

At the sound of gunfire, Saigo slowly closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look at the carnage that was about to take place outside.

It was also this gunshot that made a drop of blood fall on the corner of Uchino's mouth, and under the stimulation of the strong fishy smell, not only did not make him sober, but shouted: "Rush" for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire! ”

In his shouting, "thousands of rebels began to rush towards the palace, and the dense rifle bullets chirped on the stone wall of the Prime Minister's Palace, looking at these rebels who opened fire from afar, and still maintained a dense charging formation, the sea people did not rush to show their firepower" but picked up their rifles and practiced point fire unhurriedly, sometimes deliberately emptying a few shots" just to make the other party feel that there are not many troops here.

More and more of the "Hi-Ben" rebels approached, and the bullets became more and more dense, especially the "Hi-Ben veterans" "They didn't just know how to rush forward stupidly like the students and ronins", but quickly looked for cover and began to play with the seals.

Phew.

A bullet pierced the arm of a unlucky seal, and blood poured out, and the sight made the seals completely show their fangs, and almost at the same moment, the six-bladed light machine gun that had been prepared in front of it roared violently, and hundreds of rounds per minute poured down on the street like a torrent of bullets, causing the unprepared enemy to fall like wheat.

After firing from the front, the remaining six machine guns roared in anger, and the entire Prime Minister's Office sprayed outwards like a swarm of exploding bees.

This scene suddenly made Uchino completely dumbfounded, "He never thought that there would be so many machine guns in the Prime Minister's Palace, and the constantly falling partners and the corpses and blood torn apart by bullets" made these fanatical students and veterans gradually sober up, but there was no time for them to think about it at this time, because the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was suddenly opened, and four strange cars rushed out" Before they could understand, a long tongue of fire had already been pulled out of the roof!

"Knock knock repentance!"

The 127 mm viper is several times more powerful than a rifle, and a few of the rebel veterans who were caught off guard and were about to take the opportunity to storm the gate were torn in half by a single shot from these terrible guys.

Everyone was frightened by these big guys who suddenly appeared, "Especially when they saw a ronin being pierced by a bullet, his body was actually broken in two up and down, and blood and intestines were sprinkled like huā petals, which made the faces of these students who had never experienced war white, and they were so frightened that they ran around."

Uchino's eyes were going to be bloodshot" because he saw that the soldiers on those strange cars were actually wearing the uniforms of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps, which made him completely understand, it turned out that people had been waiting for him here for a long time!

Angry, frustrated, and enraged by the beastly roar, he threw away his slow-firing rifle, drew his revolver, and charged at a nearby wildcat, but the rifle bullet could not help the wildcat, let alone the less powerful revolver.

Chang Gui had already spotted the young man standing in front of the road, but before he could turn the muzzle, the armored car slammed into the guy with red eyes holding a pistol, "The huge impact force knocked the infield out more than ten meters away, and when he smashed to the ground, he still maintained a trace of clarity" The wild cat had already run over him.

The crackling sound of bones cracked was not heard by the gunshot, but it buried this young student who was bent on restoring the glory of Japan.

"Kill!"

Four wild cats rushed into the chaotic ranks of the Japanese rebels like four Grim Reapers, and when these people were scared and scurryed around, the North Korean army that had been in ambush for a long time moved!

The sound of thumping gunfire rang out from Shino, and the entire city of Tokyo trembled in the sound of gunfire and explosions, and the frightened citizens seemed to feel like they had returned to the war more than ten years ago, and they were all so frightened that they hid in the corner with their heads in their hands and did not dare to go out.

With a squeak, the wild cat stopped continuing the pursuit, although Chang Gui wanted to kill a pain, but he still held back, and after handing over the machine gun to the machine gunner who had been slandering for a long time, he said: "It's okay to support a little, don't steal the limelight of the North Koreans." ”

When Changgui jumped out of the car and turned around, he found that under the powerful firepower, the avenue in front of the Prime Minister's Office was already covered with minced meat and blood.

The sound of gunfire gradually moving away made Saigo open his eyes and walk to the window, but even if he had been mentally prepared, he was frightened by the bloody scene in front of him.

A group of seals quickly rushed out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to clear out the remnants of the bandits nearby, and when they saw those Japanese rebel soldiers who were not yet dead, they pulled out their pistols to make up for them and relieve their pain as soon as possible.

Gunshots, explosions and fires spread from the Prime Minister's Office to the surroundings, and weeping and shouting were incessant, knowing that the city was bleeding, even without seeing it with your own eyes.

On July 15, 1908, a rebellion broke out in Tokyo, and 5,000 rebels and thousands of mobs instigated by them began to besiege the Prime Minister's Palace, the National Assembly, and the Imperial Palace at 7 a.m.

This sudden news caught Britain and the United States and other countries off guard, "waiting until their respective ambassadors to Japan arrived at the Prime Minister's Office" and were also taken aback by the bloody scene in front of the Prime Minister's Office, and they were originally going to immediately go to Saigo to see Norido "to ask him to explain what was going on", but unexpectedly, the post-war prime minister actually refused all requests to meet. On July 17, under the two-day and two-night purge of 10,000 Korean troops, "calm was restored to Tokyo, and according to later understanding, in the two-day operation, a total of more than 8,000 people were directly killed, 15,000 people were arrested, most of them were the big families and landlords of the "Japan" family, and Prince Fushimi Miya, the backstage supporter of the rebellion, was executed on the spot.

On July 18, Saigo walked out of the Prime Minister's Office for the first time, announcing the dissolution of the Diet in the presence of ambassadors and journalists, "and presented information on a large number of sponsors of the rebellion, which pointed the finger at the great cancer in Japan, the families left over from the shogunate era and the landlords who controlled more than eighty percent of the country's land."

To the astonishment, when the U.S. ambassador asked why the Chinese and North Korean troops were allowed to help quell the rebellion, Saigo said very simply, "It was a decision made by him and the emperor" because the security team was training on Shikoku Island at the time and could not arrive at the scene in time.

Since Emperor Himoto turned away all visitors from the day of the riots, there were doubts about whether Emperor Meiji had actually invited Chinese troops to help quell the rebellion.

But it didn't matter anymore, as Saigo threw out a large amount of information on the financing of the rebels with an iron fist, the landlords and big families in various parts of Japan felt the crisis, but at this time they had no time to react. On July 18, the same moment as Saigo's public appearance, "20,000 Korean troops and the 3rd Marine Division of the Chinese Empire entered the main island of Japan one after another, and together with the previous troops, nearly 60,000 troops launched a large-scale search and arrest operation in various parts of Japan.

At the same time, under the strict orders of Saigo Komichi, the 20,000 Himoto security teams trained on Shikoku Island also participated in this search and clearance operation.

For a time, "the whole day was in chaos, people were shot or taken away every day, hundreds of families left over from the shogunate era were wiped out, and many landlords were forcibly confiscated even with their family property. On July 30, just as the Japanese government was intensifying its internal purge, Yan Fu, the Minister of Defense of the Chinese Empire, made a surprise visit to Tokyo and "strongly expressed his support for Prime Minister Saigo's action to arrest the rebels, and also said that if the Japanese government needed it, it could mobilize more troops from China to help."

At the same time, "Yan Fu, on behalf of the Chinese government, returned the jurisdiction of Shikoku Island to the Japanese government, and said that China was willing to provide a credit guarantee for the yen.

Needless to say, Shikoku Island has the credit guarantee of the yen, which is currently the fourth largest economy in the world, which makes it possible for the Japanese economy to begin to recover. On August 5, the reconstituted "Japan" National Assembly held its first meeting and passed a bill on establishing long-term friendly relations with the Chinese Empire, and at the same time approved the signing of the "China-Japan Financial Agreement," the "China-Japan Security Treaty," and the "Normalization of China-Japan" relations.

Europe and the United States were stunned by these treaties that suddenly appeared without warning, according to which China not only completely controlled the economy of Japan, but also assumed the power to defend Japan, and also incorporated all the present and future armies of Japan into the jurisdiction and control of the Chinese army, which means that if China goes to war with the outside world, the Japanese army will be obliged to fight.

These treaties immediately caused an uproar in Europe and the United States, "especially the United States and Britain, because according to the previous agreement on the interests of Li Mo, the island of Japan is under the jurisdiction of Britain and the United States, and these treaties represent China swallowing the entire Japanese book in one bite."

In the face of such an arrogant China, Britain and the United States were of course unwilling, but in the face of questions and threats, the Chinese Prime Minister's Office did not even respond, but continued to send the Imperial Plenipotentiary in Japan, Major General Wang Shizhen, to visit Tokyo again. After that, he visited Emperor Meiji, who had not spoken out since the rebellion. On August 11, Emperor Meiji made his first public appearance, saying that he and the prime minister had indeed decided to invite the Chinese army to help quell the rebellion, and expressed support for the land law, and that the imperial family would not be concerned with state affairs, and that the national affairs would be decided entirely by the Diet and the Prime Minister's Office.

Although some people say that the Chinese Empire threatened the emperor, no one can produce evidence, and compared with the emperor's statement, the people of Japan are concerned about when the land law will be implemented, "especially the large number of landless people in the countryside have long been looking forward to owning a piece of their own land, so they turned around and began to support the government's crackdown on the rebels." On August 15, the National Assembly and the Prime Minister's Office announced the adoption of the draft land law at the same time. According to this draft, the state will do its best to distribute the confiscated land equally among the landless people" When the news came out, the gates of the local government were immediately crowded with ordinary people who came to register, and even many urban residents began to look for land to prepare for farming, "because for them, instead of being wrapped up in the city and starving, it is better to cultivate the land properly, at least three meals a day is not a problem." On August 16, Emperor Himoto moved out of the Tokyo Imperial Palace and set off overland for Kyoto to repair the Imperial Palace, "In order to ensure safety, Wang Shizhen also specially sent 3,000 Korean soldiers along the way to protect it.

On the same day, three large naval transports departed from Yokosuka, loaded with the "trophies" of the operation, and even a thousand of them were exchanged from the Imperial Palace on the condition of preserving the Imperial Family, all of which were to be sealed in the Forbidden City and displayed in the future when conditions were ready.

For the safety of this batch of "trophies", the navy even mobilized two Yangtze River-class light cruisers that had just been launched to protect them.

According to later statistics, the entire rebel purge operation lasted for more than half a year, and more than 40,000 diehards were killed, nearly 50,000 local lords and male members of large families were exiled as coolies, and as many as nearly 50,000 women were secretly transported to Korea, where they were distributed as part of the spoils of war to men who were not married to North Korea.

With the relocation of all the Imperial family to the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, it was a sign that the Imperial Family was officially separated from politics and the Emperor's influence began to gradually decrease. On September 3, the Great White Fleet of the United States arrived in Japan, and although it was given a grand welcome, it was clear to everyone that this visit, which was nearly two months late, was helpless and had nothing to do. ~！
