"You see, Mr. George, it is impossible for Japan to fall to Britain or any European country!"
Gao Jin Shengtai said standing next to George Standong.
"Japan can only seek its own place in China's international system!"
George Standong shook his head helplessly.
Even for a powerful vassal like the Satsuma Domain, the purpose of introducing foreign forces was actually just to gain more benefits.
No!
Not even a benefit
But pay attention!
It was to attract Emperor Zhu's attention.
It's like a woman who is obsessed with a man and deliberately does something bad in order to attract the man's attention.
Think of this.
George Staunton was desperate.
Wait for the cheers to pass.
Suddenly there was the sound of neat footsteps tapping on the ground.
Boom boom boom sounded from a distance.
Then it got closer and louder.
This is?
Everyone hurriedly opened the windows and took a look.
The sound came from the end of the street.
I saw only large groups of soldiers, lined up in five neat columns, wearing neat red military uniforms.
This kind of military uniform is very distinctive. It is an improvement from the Ming Dynasty war jacket. It uses stiffer fabric and a more close-fitting cut.
Seems very energetic.
Carrying on his shoulder is a rifled rifle of the Second Year of Liberation.
This shows that the newcomers are not the new army of the shogunate, but the Japanese warrior regiment of the Ming Dynasty - even if they are holding the Mitsuha Aoi and Hinomaru of the Tokugawa family!
A rumbling sound came.
The soldiers walked in very orderly steps.
The steps lifted up and fell neatly.
This step is also unique to the Ming army - it is said that Emperor Zhu realized it by watching a goose walk, so it is called the goose step.
"This is the Japanese Armed Forces of the Ming Dynasty, and they are holding the flag of the Tokugawa family!" Baotong Zhiguo's teeth chattered a little.
"The Ming Dynasty's troops are about to march into Kyoto!" Xixiang Yongsheng also changed his face.
"No, it's the Tokugawa family. The soldiers are the Japanese warrior regiment of the Great Tomorrow, but they are under the banner of the Tokugawa family! They are the soldiers borrowed by the Tokugawa family! The Tokugawa family marched their troops into Kyoto. This advance The direction is the Imperial Palace! It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, the Tokugawa family is going to rebel! The Tokugawa family is going crazy!”
"What do you want to do when you go to the Tokugawa House in the Imperial Palace?" Gao Jin Shengshu also stuttered when he spoke.
These soldiers really didn't know when they arrived in Kyoto.
Now that all the poor samurai in Kyoto were attracted by the Ming Dynasty's conscription, the number of poor samurai who would come to cause trouble for the Tokugawa family was much smaller.
"This, this, this, this, this, what are the Tokugawa family doing?"
"We have marched all the troops into Kyoto. Are we asking for military remonstrance?"
"Really, is there anything we can't discuss carefully? We'll use knives and guns."
During the banquet, many warriors who were boasting just now were shouting, and many clever ones had already slipped out of the back door.
"Taobao, go see what's going on!"
Gao Jin Shengshu said loudly.
But no one responded to him.
"Taobao Baga!" Gao Jin Shengshu immediately jumped to his feet.
That Tabo, who was full of bad ideas, slipped away quietly at some point.
Kyoto.
Nijo Castle.
In the Ninomaru Garden.
The guards were tight and there was a solemn killing.
The new army of the shogunate and the Ming Japanese Armed Forces were stationed here.
Tokugawa Ieki sat aside in confusion, while his sister Tokugawa Mitsuki sat in the main seat.
Zhu Laoliu is still holding on to his name and can convince a large number of Japanese people to worship him.
Although Lao Zhu's family was born as a beggar.
The origin seems to be incomparable to the Imperial family, which is said to be a lineage for eternity.
But Zhu Laoliu, as the sixth son of the restored emperor of the Ming Empire, is now much more visible in Japan than the emperor who many people care about but has little power.
At this time, Tokugawa Miki was lowering her head and writing rapidly with a brush in her hand.
On the other side, sitting opposite the Tokugawa family was Mr. Xie Youren, the Consul General of the Ming Dynasty in Japan.
Xie Youren, who was born as a businessman, used to be a member of the Xie Family Trading Company of the Thirteenth Bank, specializing in Japanese trade.
Now I got lucky and became a diplomat stationed in Japan - I can't help it, because there are so few talents with diplomatic talents in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Xie Youren's letter was also sent away earlier.
Tokugawa Miki naturally didn't dare to ask what he wrote in his letter.
Because these things she did in Japan can be called "Empress Lu's actions."
This military coup was known as the "Kanzheng Coup" in history.
Basically, it was all done by Tokugawa Miki, a woman who was only twenty-one or twelve years old, using the name of the Great Tomorrow and holding Zhu Laoliu in her arms.
The courage and decisiveness he showed in this coup.
Xie Youren was extremely impressed and worried.
After being persuaded by the shogunate, they ordered their troops to set off that night and entered Osaka. Then the army entered Kyoto without stopping.
When the Tokugawa family's army surrounded Gosota.
Emperor Kokaku is still hosting a banquet to celebrate the second birthday of his daughter, Prince Nobunomiya.
"This woman is really too secretive. She has been dormant in the palace for several years and has only made no noise. She has become a blockbuster! If these methods are used in the palace, the empress and concubine Shi will never be her opponent."
Xie Youren thought.
Although the Queen and Concubine Shi were influential in the army and navy respectively.
However, this kind of influence was brought about by the Ming Dynasty's unification of the world. The source of troops and officers of the army and navy are no longer as simple as the Hakka Army and the Danjia Navy. The Generalissimo's Office will also consider the regional reporting of military services. Negative impact.
Therefore, these two concubines of the Ming Emperor, who once represented the interests of the Hakka warriors and the Dan clan pirates respectively, are no longer able to speak in the court.
I thought.
The court of the Ming Dynasty will be the same as that of the previous Ming Dynasty.
Gradually, the concubines were mainly born in small families.
Relatives have little influence on the court.
Who admits it.
Tokugawa Mitsuki unexpectedly appeared, a woman from the Tokugawa family, and launched a coup with thunderous means.
We also want the sixth prince to be the king of Japan.
in the future
What if she wants to make the sixth prince the crown prince?
With this woman's fierceness, how could the stupid-looking Queen Empress possibly defeat her?
A hundred years after Luo Xiang.
The prince's great supporter fell.
Will there be a fight between the crown prince and the sixth prince like in the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty?
I wonder if it would be appropriate to write down these concerns on a secret book and let the emperor know about them?
Xie Youren was thinking wildly.
"Mr. Xie, do you think what I did is a bit too much?" Miki Tokugawa said.
Xie Youren hurriedly said respectfully: "Ms. De Fei's move is not excessive, it is for the sake of the world!"
"I don't do it for anyone in the world." Tokugawa Miki waved her hands nonchalantly.
"I only do it for my Yi Zin'er. The world of New Japan and Old Japan belongs to him, and no one can take it away!"
When Xie Youren heard this, his heart turned upside down.
Now it is for the world of old and new Japan.
That's when the time comes.
Will it be for the sake of the Ming Dynasty?
