Chapter 503: An auspicious day for a coup d'état
The queen didn't pay attention to the Japanese in front of her, and her expression was very proud.
No matter what, she is the ruler of this kingdom, and even if her own life is threatened, she disdains Kameda Masao.
"Your Majesty, it looks like you need time to think about it, so why not come with us?"
Seeing that the queen didn't even look at him with a straight eye, Kameda Masao was not angry, and said gloomily.
He intended to transfer the queen and these family members as hostages to his guild hall, where the Japanese lived.
There, he built a small fortress and was able to mobilize more Japanese to help him defend it.
The queen still didn't bother him.
She knew that as long as she delayed long enough, her team of King Qin would arrive soon, and at that time, the situation might not be the same.
But what she knew, Masao Kameda also knew.
His expression became more and more hideous.
Kameda Masao walked quickly in front of her and pulled her little daughter out of the queen's arms.
The girl was caught off guard and was dragged to the ground and almost fell to the ground.
She cried out in tears and was terrified.
"What are you going to do?!!!!" The queen was frightened and shouted, "If you dare to do anything against my daughter, all the people on the island will bury you!" ”
Kameda Masao violently raised the katana in his hand and placed it on the princess's neck.
The princess stopped crying, and her whole body was already frightened, and she was just trembling constantly.
"Oh? Bury me? My Majesty, you don't know that there are only two local inhabitants on the island, do you? Kameda looked directly at the queen with a mocking expression, "Please come with us, otherwise, I really can't guarantee that my hands will not shake." ”
"I'll go with you, but please let my daughter go."
The queen stood up.
Of course she knew what it meant to follow the Japanese.
But she is the king of a country and a mother.
As a mother, she couldn't watch her daughter being killed in front of her.
Under the watchful eye of Kameda Masao, the queen and those royal relatives were escorted into several carriages that had been prepared for a long time, and drove towards the Japanese territory.
In addition to being close to the Japanese territory, the palace is also close to Chinatown.
Chen Jianqiu sat in the box on the second floor of the teahouse, knocking melon seeds, looking out the window, and listened to the spies' report.
Since Chen Jianqiu found out that the view here was good, he chartered the entire box as his temporary headquarters here.
"The queen and princess were taken captive, and the palace seems to have been ransacked, but they didn't set it on fire." The spy said.
Chen Jianqiu was a little emotional.
In any country, even the smallest island country, it is a great shame for the monarch to be taken away and the palace to be ransacked.
What Kameda Masao and those Japanese people did was in line with Chen Jianqiu's perception of them, but it was by no means a wise move.
"Boss, should we go to the hero to save the beauty?" Sean pouted from the side.
Chen Jianqiu didn't speak, just threw a black and white photo to him.
The photograph is of Queen Liliuokarani when she ascended the throne, and the queen is shown in a gorgeous dress, with curly hair, an embarrassed gaze, and a large waist with large shoulders and a round waist.
"I'm not sure if the charm doesn't fit your aesthetic, if you want, you can take the soldiers and try it out." Chen Jianqiu said to Sean.
Sean took a deep breath and put down the photo.
"Forget it."
"But I'm afraid the queen will be killed!" He Kuan on the side frowned, "We all know very well who Masao Kameda is. ”
"Then let's pray that the queen is safe." Chen Jianqiu's words made everyone present scratch their heads.
But they don't ask any more.
The room was filled with the burning fragrance of sandalwood, and everyone looked at Chen Jianqiu.
Actually, Chen Jianqiu didn't say something.
Of course, he hoped that the queen would better not die, this woman, as a woman, although her ability to govern the country is commonplace, but it is still useful.
But if the queen does die, there is also the benefit of dying.
He didn't mind trading the Queen's death for a chance for a Chinese Hawaiian to step onto the political stage.
However, it depends.
The time of the queen has passed.
"Let the supporting actors play a little longer." Chen Jianqiu continued to look out the window.
And Thurston, who was appointed by Chen Jianqiu as one of the supporting roles, was rushing to the Iolani Palace with great interest at this time.
He was coming from the east side of the city, so he didn't run into the Japanese.
Thurston heard gunshots on the road, but like the civilians, he didn't care.
Gunshots are all too common in Honolulu during this time.
Not long ago, there was a fierce shootout in Chinatown, and even the sound of cannons is nothing new, let alone guns.
Before leaving, Thurston and Doerr discussed what to do with the queen later.
Their thoughts are the same as those of Masao Kameda;
First, force the queen to issue an abdication edict, and then put the queen under house arrest so that she doesn't cause trouble everywhere.
But when Thurston arrived at the palace with his white soldiers, he was stunned by what he saw.
The palace was in shambles, glass shattered, doors lay on the floor, and valuables in various rooms were looted.
The disarmed guards disposed of the corpses of their comrades with blank eyes.
"What's going on?!" Thurston found his inner response, the vice-captain, among the corpses.
He questioned the guards.
"The queen and princesses were taken by the Japanese." The guard looked at Thurston blankly, "Are you here to save the driver?" ”
Thurston barely spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Rescue? Save a fart? Lao Tzu is here to carry out a coup d'état!
He crossed his waist and looked at the corpses on the ground, their heads covered in a bag.
What is an auspicious day today? A coup d'état? Even the kidnapping queen has to queue up?
The plan is all messed up!
He looked at Dürr, and found that Dürr was also looking at him, with a strange expression, as if he had some meaning to read a joke, and said angrily:
"Dürr! What are you looking at me for, I didn't know this was going to happen! ”
Durr spread his hands and pointed out the window.
A group of uniformed soldiers lined up in several rows and rushed to the entrance of the palace courtyard, surrounding the palace tightly.
The style of the uniform Thurston is familiar.
It's the Hawaiian Lance Club.
Accurate will, is part of them.
The other part heard that something was going on at the palace and thought that Thurston had done it, so they found various reasons not to show up as agreed.
In this way, these people are all exposed.
Thurston's face had turned the color of pork liver.
Leading the Lancers and the police is the Honolulu Police Chief and the Captain of the Palace Guard.
The swarthy captain had been so drunk the night before that he was finally carried home by seven or eight men.
However, when he received the news of a coup d'état at the palace, the wine suddenly woke up, and the man immediately rolled out of bed.
The captain was full of remorse, hated himself for being greedy and misleading, and hated himself for not staying in the palace.
Thurston and the gang around him knew the heart of Sima Zhao, and as for the Japanese, there was a good chance that they had something to do with them.
At this moment, the captain was already standing at the entrance of the courtyard and shouting in the direction of the palace:
"Listen, traitors within, you are surrounded! If you dare to touch Her Majesty, I promise you won't see the Hawaiian sun tomorrow! ”
