Chapter 290: It's a bastard
It was indeed too late, and when Tokukawasaki learned of the storm in Edo Castle, the ronin shouting the slogan of the Heavenly Punishment Thief had already surrounded the courtyard where he was.
To be honest, if Tokukawazaki stays in the shogun's mansion, then these ronins may really have nothing to do with him.
Although the blood of the Japanese slaves is reckless, they still have the most basic sense. The shogunate, which was equivalent to the supreme authority of the Japanese slaves, still did not dare to attack.
But Tokugawasaki didn't stay in the shogunate today, but went to an ordinary small courtyard. Of course, Tokugawa's older sister lived there.
"Master, master, something is wrong."
Tokukawasaki was resting on the couch with his sister in his arms, when he suddenly heard the call of the old housekeeper outside.
didn't have time to comfort his crying sister, Tokukawasaki pushed away the woman who was trembling in his arms, put on his clothes and opened the door.
"What's the matter?" Tokukawasaki asked sharply.
"There's a group of ronins from the Yamaguchi-gumi coming outside to make trouble. Say yes, say yes to ......"
Hearing the name of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Tokukawasaki's eyes shrank suddenly. How could he not have known about the largest gang and ronin organization in the country.
Tokukawasaki had already heard the voice of the thief outside. He jerked back and pulled out the saber hanging beside the bed.
"Mobilize the guards and guard the door, they are just a rabble, as long as they hold out until the shogunate reinforcements arrive, they will be safe."
Since he came out for a tryst with his lover, Tokukawasaki must have made arrangements for his own safety measures. In case of danger, immediately send someone to the shogunate to ask for help,
What's more, Edo is so big, not much bigger than the imperial city of Dazheng. If something happened here, the shogunate would know quickly even if no one reported it, so Tokukawasaki wasn't worried.
Sometimes, however, the unexpected will always come sooner than tomorrow.
On the shogunate's side, Tokukawasaki's cronies, Captain Yamagami, was leading the guards on patrol. Suddenly, I noticed the commotion on the west side of the city.
"The general stays in the west of the city, it can't be that something has happened." Thinking like this, the mountain planned to arrange for someone to take a look. He is gathering people and following the guards of Tokukawazaki to report the news.
"Lord Yamagami, there is a group of samurai from the Yamaguchi-gumi attacking the general, and they are currently blocked by us, but the situation is critical, please send reinforcements quickly."
Hearing the words of the guards, there was no doubt that he was outside the mountain, and he immediately gathered the shogunate guards and went to the west of the city to rescue Tokukawasaki.
However, the Shogun's Guard, which was very strong, was ambushed as it marched to a distance of only two streets from Tokukawasaki.
At first, Yamagami thought he had encountered an ambush from the Yamaguchi-gumi. But it didn't take long to find out that it wasn't at all.
Although the ambush team used the weapons of the Japanese people, they also wore the clothes of the Japanese people. But their tall stature shows that they are definitely not widows.
"It's Zheng people, Zheng people's mission guards, damn it." One opponent was stabbed to death by one sword, but he was stabbed to death by another. Before he died, the mountain finally figured out the identities of these people.
On the other side, Tokukawasaki, who had not been waiting for reinforcements for a long time, was finally broken through by the Yamaguchi-gumi because there were too few guards around him, and he was killed in his sister Toku's apartment.
And Tokugawasaki's beautiful sister quickly threw herself into the arms of others.
After listening to Chen Jun's report, Xiuyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very good, I want you to protect Kazuko Kawasaki, but you can do it." ”
Chen Jun smiled: "Of course, for Jinyi Mansion, this is not the easiest thing. ”
Xiuyuan nodded: "Very good, we can go back to Shenjing." After speaking, Xiu Yuan said a few words in Chen Jun's ear.
Chen Jun nodded, because the imperial court wanted to deal with the Japanese slaves, so his mission was to stay in the Japanese slaves and establish the Jinyi Mansion and the Thousand Households of the Japanese Slaves.
In fact, an important purpose of Xiuyuan's visit to the Japanese slaves this time was to send the popularity of the Jinyi Mansion headed by Chen Jun into the Japanese slaves.
So now that Xiuyuan is leaving, the rest of the drama needs Chen Jun to sing alone.
"Don't worry, although our Jinyi Mansion is not as cunning as your literati, it is not a simple martial artist, I understand what to do."
Only then did Xiuyuan leave Edo with a smile, and boarded a ship at Edo Port and left Edo. Behind him, the political center of the Unon people, the second largest city in the Use, has become a sea of fire.
By the time news of the Edo riots reached Kamyo, it was already a few days later.
"The lower samurai of the Japanese slaves rioted, the shogun Tokukawasaki was killed, and the members of the Tokukawasaki shogunate were slaughtered.
Now the youngest son of the previous shogun, Tokugawa Homasasa, Tokugawa Saki's younger brother, Tokugawa Ryo, has entered Edo. Announced the takeover of power in Edo.
However, he did not have the ability of Tokugawazaki to control the situation, and the powerful feudal clans in the Japanese slave country were no longer willing to accept Edo's control, and they all demanded to break through the blockade that I had landed on the Sasebo Ocean, attack Korea, and even go to the radicals to advocate a direct war against Daezheng. ”
Emperor Longzheng looked at the two folds in front of him, and said with interest: "There is one thing I don't understand, according to the information of Jinyi Mansion and your statement, there is not much arable land in the country of the Japanese slaves, and there have been heavy casualties among men in the war for many years.
How did they solve the food problem outside? Even if it was to buy it, where would the money come from, and how would it be transported back to the Japanese slaves after it was bought? ”
Jia Lian thought for a while, and said very calmly: "Emperor, this is going to be said in two parts." Naturally, they buy food from nearby countries.
Even the two major ambassadors of the Old Port and the New Port once exported grain to the Japanese slaves. And the money to buy food ....... ”
Seeing that Jia Lian actually sold Guanzi, Emperor Long Zheng did not hesitate to grab a beautifully decorated mutton fat jade paperweight in his hand and threw it over.
Jia Lian grabbed it with great agility, and then stuffed it into his arms. Dai Quan, who was waiting next to him, was distressed for a while, he was in charge of the palace generals, and he was very clear about the value of this kind of mutton fat jade paperweight specially for the emperor.
Counting the one that was kicked in Jia Lian's arms this time, the paperweight in the imperial study has already fallen into Jia Lian's hands.
"What's the matter, you still can't keep it a secret from me?"
Jia Lian hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, but he doesn't know how to say it." One of the biggest increases in the military spending of the Japanese slaves was the export of women to overseas countries. ”
"Ah, what do you mean?" In the imperial study of Zichen Palace, Emperor Long Zheng listened even more confused.
Jia Lian smiled helplessly: "That is to say, the young woman among the Japanese slaves went to Nanyang to work and sold her body to make money for the Japanese slaves."
This was almost an open secret in the country, and even the little money sent home by these hard-working Japanese slave women had to be taxed by the government after handing over most of the money they earned to the state. ”
"What a bastard." Emperor Long Zheng thought angrily.
