    Next to the Tokyo Customs Building in Akasaka, there is a four-story bell tower built during the Meiji period. In order to allow the people to experience the peace and beauty of the Meiji era up close, the bell tower has been open since its construction.  At this moment, the open space in front of the clock tower was filled with tens of thousands of Tokyo citizens who were panic-stricken and helpless. They were undoubtedly the most miserable people in the face of the sudden riot.  Looking down from the clock tower, the whole of Tokyo is burning in flames. Edogawa, where the earliest fighting took place, has completely turned into a sea of ??flames. Gokokuji Temple and the wealthy gathering areas of Asakusa District are also in flames. Even Akasaka, where the National Assembly and the Prime Minister's Office are located, are also in flames.  All puffing out smoke.

    Originally, near the Emperor Palace of Chiyo Tian, ??with two warships on the sea on the sea, to defend the emperor's fire, the shells fell down to set off a huge fireball, but also destroyed the last confidence of Tokyo.  .

    It¡¯s chaos!  It's a complete mess!  As far as the eye can see, the whole Tokyo is full of people running around like headless flies!

    Tanaka Yiichi was completely at a standstill, and the joy that Yamagata Aritomo supported him completely fell into the abyss with the louder explosions and the screech of naval guns. Even Yamagata Aritomo's face turned pale and his expression was gloomy. Who is the direction of the whole situation?  It also slipped unpredictably on the verge of losing control.  Crying, shouting, fighting and explosions became the main theme of the night in Tokyo on May 10th. The traitors, the out-of-control army, the ronin who added fuel to the flames, and the unemployed who got weapons and vented their dissatisfaction wantonly were destroying without scruples.  The essence and tranquility accumulated during the Meiji period.

    Only Chen Haohui in the shadow of the bell tower smiled, Hou Yi's plan finally achieved its goal!  This top-secret plan, with the basic purpose of destroying the Japanese center and eradicating far-sighted politicians, finally reached its peak after Korekiyo Takahashi and Takaaki Kato were assassinated in succession!  When such far-sighted Japanese politicians as Saionji Konobo, Hara Kei, Toyama Mitsuru, Inukai Tsuyoshi and Saito Minoru fell into a pool of blood one after another.  Japan¡¯s most elite generation has completely disappeared!  !  A huge fault line has emerged in Japanese politics.  It is impossible to accurately estimate the extent of the damage tonight, but the flames soaring into the sky alone can prove that at least 200,000 Tokyo residents will become disaster victims tomorrow morning, and at least 10,000 buildings and houses need to be repaired and rebuilt.  This alone will cost the Japanese government hundreds of millions of yen to restore it to like new condition. What's more, even if it is rebuilt, it will not be possible to regain national confidence in a year or two.

    There were rapid footsteps behind him. A Security Bureau agent wearing Japanese worker clothes and a white towel like a coup soldier came over. After a few words, Chen Haohui nodded heavily, squatted down and patted Kawashima Yoshiko on the cheek: "Wait here.  I, uncle, will take you away after I finish the work."

    The young Yoshiko Kawashima still didn¡¯t understand what was happening outside.  The country, nation, ideas and blood were just vague shadows in her mind. She only knew that the little uncle in front of her who had taken care of her for several years and cared for her in every possible way suddenly became very strange and weird, and the muscles on his face looked like  As hard as stone.  It was as if a ball of fire was dancing in his eyes.  She suddenly wanted to cry, but she was afraid that her uncle would be worried, so she took out the candy and stuffed it in her hand: "Uncle, eat the candy."

    "Uncle, come back and eat." 26-year-old Chen Haohui clenched the candy tightly, patted Fangzi, who was young but already looked like a beautiful woman's fetus, and quickly disappeared into the dark corridor.  The assistant's nose was a little sore, and he took Yoshiko Kawashima's hand and prepared to take her back to the gathering place.  But when she got downstairs, the clever little girl suddenly waved her hand and quickly disappeared into the crowd in the direction where Chen Haohui left.  The assistants and partners rushed to catch up, but in the face of the frightened crowd swarming in, these two figures, one big and one small, were nowhere to be seen.

    Uchida Ryohei, wearing wooden clogs and holding a Japanese sword, and a number of personally selected samurai ronin were closely guarding Tanaka Giichi.  On the periphery were more than a hundred soldiers loyal to Tanaka led by Nagata Tetsuyama, and everyone was as if they were facing a formidable enemy.  The navy used naval artillery to suppress the coup, resulting in complete loss of control tonight.  No one can predict what will happen next, so they must desperately protect the core that has been established by Yamagata Aritomo.  And Giichi Tanaka is very likely to become the next prime minister.

    This is a political gamble. If you protect him and reach the Army Department safely, the Black Dragon Society will be able to flourish, and only the more conservative soldiers led by Nagata Tetsuyama can stand up to replace those radical saboteurs.  They preferred to drive slowly and slowly rather than drive on the main road, so it took more than an hour to walk through the streets and alleys before returning to the War Department.  The military headquarters was already noisy, and the officers who came from all directions after receiving the news were completely helpless.  Hasegawa Yoshidao went to Osaka, and Uehara Yusaku was from the Satsuma Domain. The Army did not believe him, so when Tanaka appeared, everyone surrounded him almost immediately.  "Where is the First Division?" Tanaka, who returned to the Army Ministry, made people feel that he was different from the past as soon as he opened his mouth. Yusaku Uehara even looked at Uchida Ryohei, Nagata Tetsuzan and others beside him without saying a word.  .

    "Lieutenant General Ichitobei called just now. The two regiments are on their way back and will arrive at 2 a.m. at the latest."

    "EmperorWhere is the palace?  "

    "Prince Zain led the gendarmerie and a brigade from the Tokyo Garrison Command to block them out, and the navy used naval guns to relieve the siege. The prince called and said that the palace was temporarily safe, but His Majesty the Emperor was too frightened this time.  Ask us to send someone immediately to explain to him what happened!" Hearing that the palace was fine for the time being, the biggest stone in Tanaka Yiyi's heart finally fell.  He is not someone like Kitaki and Aoki who are radical and treasonous and even want to overthrow the emperor.  He knew that the emperor was of great importance to Japan. If the emperor suffered disaster tonight, the whole of Japan would probably fall into pieces.  It's just that he can't go to the palace yet. He has to wait for a friend from Shan County to take him there before he can officially establish his status as the successor of the Xia Shan County faction!  After cleaning up the mess, he reached the top of the political arena, so he was particularly concerned about Shanxian Youpeng's movements and asked: "Where is Shanxian Ge Lao?"

    "Don't worry, Mr. Tanaka, Mr. Yamagata has already left the hospital and is here, so he won't delay the next thing." Nanjiro knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly came over to flatter him, and insisted on the words "the next thing".

    Tanaka Yiichi took a deep breath, dismissed everyone, and slowly closed the office door. He walked to the window and looked at the blazing Tokyo, and the muscles of his lips couldn't help but twitch.  Won!  I finally won!  Katsura Taro is in poor health.  In the absence of Kiyoura Kuigo's military background, his work during this period finally allowed him to be selected by a friend from Yamagata.  The rest of the matter is too simple. All he has to do is wait for Ichitobei to lead his troops into the city and lead them to arrest all the rebels.  Then Yamagata Aritomo will lead him to show his face to the emperor, and everything will be a foregone conclusion!

    It¡¯s just thatthis price is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Japan.

    ¡°After you come to power, how will you balance internal relations, how will you solve the economic crisis plaguing Japan, and how will you resolve the new relationship with China?  At this moment, he suddenly realized that he knew nothing and his mind was at a loss!  "Perhaps the elder of Shan County has already made all the plans? I just need to follow his plan and slowly take control of the power. I will definitely become a elder in a few years!" He muttered secretly, then sat down and waited quietly. "  "Escort" troops and friends from Shanxian County arrived, and the firelight outside the window made the dazed face turn red.

    It is only a few kilometers from Shinjuku National Hospital to the Army Ministry, and it usually takes 20 minutes to get there by car.  But in the face of panicked citizens running through the streets, the convoy could only advance slowly under the bayonets of the escorts.  The chrysanthemum logo on the front of the car makes everyone afraid to get close, because it represents the royal family or the senior dignitaries of the Chinese race.

    In the spacious back seat, Shanxian Youpeng was wearing a coat, his old eyes closed tightly, and his long and narrow horse face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water.  It can be said that tonight is completely the result of his deliberate indulgence.  Nagaoka even informed him in advance about Aoki Nobunjun and Kita Ikki bringing people back from North Korea.  Originally he didn't want to do this, but because of the defeat, the prestige of the army and the feudal clan, which he relied on the most, was greatly reduced, so he had to move these big rocks to ensure his position!  But I didn't expect that the navy would be so extreme.  He actually used naval guns!  The situation was completely out of control.  Fortunately, the Navy fool didn't use large-caliber artillery shells after all.  When he arrived at the military headquarters and called Yamamoto Gonbei, he would know what to choose.  Because after tonight, I will be the only remaining veteran in Japan!  Unless the navy carries out the little old man from Dongxiang.  Otherwise, no one can compete with him. As long as Prince Hirohito grows up and can shoulder his responsibilities, the cherry blossoms will bloom again.

    Time and ageWhy did China produce such a young strongman?  Will Crown Prince Hirohito be his opponent?  Shanxian Youpeng closed his eyes and pondered, and did not blame the car for driving so slowly. In his eyes, such a little pain was nothing compared to the future of the empire.

    The slowly turning wheel is getting closer and closer to the Ministry of War, and the number of citizens pouring into this area has begun to increase sharply. Everyone hopes to be protected by the army as soon as possible, even though they were so disappointing and hated before.

    In a house next to the road, Chen Haohui took off his clothes and put on the clothes of a vegetable farmer. His partner used special oil paint to make his exposed skin look extremely old, and then carefully pulled off several sheaths on the vegetable basket.  Several thin, sharp spikes glowing with blue light poked out.  But no one knew that a pair of big eyes saw everything through the cracks.

    "salute!"

    When Chen Haohui picked up the burden and was about to go out, everyone saluted, because everyone knewhe might never be able to come back!  The big eyes in the gap flashed several times, as if wondering why uncle became grandpa?  Should I be called uncle or grandpa from now on?  When he saw him leaving, he boldly followed the "old vegetable farmer" quietly and blended into the crowd, pretending to be fleeing and running forward.  The car that I had been waiting for for three years finally appeared at the end of the road. The old man in the car represented an era!  As long as he is in Japan, it will not sink. But without him, and without elites like Saionji, what would have happened to the Japanese political scene for generations?Where is the son?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The gunshot rang out!

    The agents disguised as rioting soldiers shouted slogans such as "God punishes them", "National traitors", "Stand in their way to protect the victory", "Persistence", etc. Several Japanese-style grenades suddenly exploded among the guards.  Shanxian Youpeng suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily with a stern look: "Who is it?"

    "Mr. Ge! It's the rebels. They regard us as support troops! It's very dangerous here. The target of the vehicle is too big. Please get out of the car and we will protect you and leave." The captain of the guard was very calm. He commanded to block the "enemy" while running over in person.  Protect yourself.  Even though everyone believed that the rebels would not dare to take action as long as they saw the chrysanthemum on the front of the car, no one dared to take the risk now.

    Shanxian Youpeng didn't dare either. He nodded and stepped out of the car under heavy protection. He turned to look at the distant place where the firefight was taking place and his face was ashen.

    The gunshots and explosions suddenly caused the crowd of refugees around to explode. When the captain of the guard personally protected Shanxian Youpeng from the car and prepared to take a detour, he forgot about the surging crowds around him. Perhaps the docile and polite citizens in his eyes would not be harmed.  "Baga! Get away." "Protect, be careful."

    The guards huddled together and just used their bodies to separate the flow of people, when an accident happened!  When an old vegetable farmer, who was jostled by the crowd, shouted "My food, my food", a rotten basket was squeezed not far from the feet of Youpeng in Shanxian County.  The "old vegetable farmer" who was bent over and with a hunched back, with an anxious face and red eyes, rushed over to protect the fruits of his hard work. Unexpectedly, the captain of the guard kicked him hard out of fear.

    After a hard kick on the waist, the old vegetable farmer who had just grabbed the basket suddenly rolled a few steps. The bamboo basket in his hand instantly fell apart. The vegetables were scattered all over the ground. At the same time, several bamboo strips among them cut through the cracks in Shanxian County.  Youpeng's clothes, especially the one that scratched the back of his hand, still had blood stains.

    "Baga, you damned untouchable!" When the captain of the guard saw that the Shan County elder was actually scratched by a bamboo strip, he was so angry that he slashed him with his knife.  Facing the gleaming saber, the old vegetable farmer could dodge immediately but deliberately didn't. He knew that as long as he avoided these experienced guards, he would be able to detect abnormalities, so he had to endure this knife!  If you get hit, it's an accident. If you dodge quickly, you'll be completely locked!

    The blade slashed across the left thigh, blood surged wildly, the flesh rolled and even the hamstring popped out!  At the critical moment when the angry captain of the guard wanted to stab him again, a sharp cry suddenly broke out from the crowd: "Grandpa, don't kill my grandpa!" The sound clearly made the old vegetable farmer freeze!  Shanxian, who was covering the back of his hands, saw a little girl rushing toward her from the crowd, rubbing her eyes and crying. She didn't know whether it was pity or thought of her granddaughter, and said to the guard: "Forget it, I'm fine."

    The little girl fell on the old vegetable farmer, and the pear blossoms made a miserable sound with the rain. All the refugees around her were sad and shed tears, but the soldiers holding sharp swords and rifles made them dare not say a word.  The captain of the guard glared at the old farmer and the girl, and then walked to Shanxian Youpeng and lowered his head to beg for punishment: "Mr. Ge, this is the official who failed to protect me! Please punish me!" "It's okay, it's just a small tear." Shanxian waved his hand and said again.  After glancing at the girl, he quickly walked towards the military headquarters under the protection of the guards. In the darkness, no one noticed that a black line as thin as hair disappeared along the back of his hand.

    "Fangzi" The old vegetable farmer's face turned pale, and he touched his porcelain doll-like face with his trembling hands: "We can go back." The girl continued to cry, not hearing his words at all, speaking with only two people.  said the audible voice.

    "Uncle, please don't abandon Yoshiko in the future, okay? Yoshiko is afraid".
