Part One: The Storm in Penghu Chapter 538 Countering the Rebellion in Kyoto

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On June 11, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, something happened that shocked all Japanese!

    Emperor Meisho issued an edict to abdicate!

    In this abdication edict, Emperor Meisho expressed his deep regret for the disaster in Japan and his willingness to bear full responsibility for it.

    At the same time, she also told the Japanese that the fire in Kyoto was orchestrated by General Tokugawa in order to prevent the Ming army from deepening. Mingzheng had known about it before and acquiesced to Tokugawa Iemitsu's approach.

    This is a shocking day!

    If the emperor¡¯s abdication left the Japanese at a loss, then the ¡°truth¡± about the Kyoto fire made the Japanese feel extremely angry.

    They once trusted and worshiped His Majesty the Emperor so much, but the Emperor did not hesitate to burn down so many houses because he wanted to defend Kyoto, forcing so many Japanese people to become homeless.

    What is this for?

    The people are always easily deceived, let alone His Majesty the Emperor himself admitting this?  Many Japanese were sad and sad, and those past beliefs collapsed in their hearts.

    Who else can you trust?  Who else can you rely on?

    However, there are still some people who firmly distrust this. In their view, Emperor Meisho did this because he was completely coerced by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

    His Majesty the Emperor was forced!

    But they are powerless in the face of all this

    On June 12, the day after Meisho announced his abdication, Ding Yunyi announced that since Emperor Meisho had abdicated, he was no longer suitable to continue living in the palace.  Move out of the palace immediately.

    On this day, people like Yuan Yizhong had already learned from Song Baocai in advance

    Then choose this day.  For the fate of His Majesty the Emperor, and for the fate of the Japanese Empire!

    All the forces that can be assembled have been assembled.  Minamoto Yoshitaka firmly believed that they still had an advantage. The people of the Ming Dynasty did not know that there was such an operation, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were far less familiar with Kyoto than themselves!

    As long as His Majesty the Emperor is successfully rescued, everything may be reversed.

    There are approximately more than 1,200 Japanese participating in this operation, and 300 muskets have been distributed. This will be the most reliable force for the Japanese:

    Use the Ming Dynasty people¡¯s muskets to give the Ming Dynasty people the most powerful blow!

    This is also the only chance for the Japanese!

    The day has finally arrived.  When Ming Zheng's team left the palace, there was a dense crowd of people kneeling outside, all of whom were still loyal to the royal family.

    When I saw the Emperor¡¯s procession, there was a lot of crying.

    It¡¯s over.  It¡¯s over, Japan is really over.

    His Majesty the Emperor did not show up, perhaps because he was under pressure from the Ming Dynasty.  The crying continued, and some people were so heartbroken when they heard the crying that they were in agony.

    Emperor Mingzheng still did not show up.

    Minamoto Yoshitaka also knelt among the Japanese, but he did not cry. He knew that now was not the time to cry, but to wait, to wait patiently, to wait with twelve times more patience  .

    The carriage carrying the Emperor gradually left the crowd.  Minamoto Yoshitaka knew the time he had been waiting for had come

    On the other side, Taira Masashige, Fujiwara Shinnao, and Tachibana Koichi also knew that the opportunity had come

    "For Japan! For His Majesty the Emperor!"

    "For Japan! For His Majesty the Emperor!"

    Such a sound suddenly rang.

    "Shoot!"

    When this order was issued, Taira Masaki, Fujiwara Shinnao, and Tachibana Koichi were full of expectations. However, the muskets did not roar for a long time.

    "Shoot!" Ping Jiangcheng shouted again.

    However, the musket still did not fire.

    "Shoot!" He shouted for the third time and his eyes turned red.

    "Sir Ping, the fire can't be fired, these muskets can't be fired!"

    "What?" Ping Jiangcheng was stunned for a moment.

    Can¡¯t fight?  What does it mean?

    Fujiwara Shinnao took the musket and shouted loudly: "Mr. Taira, that's not right, none of these muskets can fire!"

    Fujiwara Shinnao¡¯s body swayed.  He knew he had been fooled.  That abominable Song Baocai, all he sold to himself were muskets that couldn't fire!

    But the arrow is on the string and must be fired!

    His Majesty the Emperor is ahead, and the fate of the Japanese Empire is ahead!

    Ping Jiangcheng gritted his teeth and pulled out his katana: "Why?"??Japan, kill!  "

    All the Japanese came out of their hiding places. Now they no longer have muskets to rely on. All they can rely on is the katana in their hands.

    Thousands of Japanese rushed out!

    At this moment, Minamoto Yoshitada suddenly stood up from those who were kneeling on the ground, and flashed a short blade with a bang: "His Majesty's people, stand up and resist!  "

    Everyone kneeling on the ground was at a loss for what had happened suddenly and had no idea how to face it.

    "The Japanese are rioting! The Japanese are rioting!"

    When the soldiers of the Huben Guard who were guarding Mingzheng's carriage saw this scene, they acted uncharacteristically like a ragtag group of people who had never received any military training, and they dispersed in a hurry.

    ??????? Heishangari and others who rushed up were overjoyed. Heishangari shouted loudly: "Fujiwara-sama, go quickly and rescue your majesty!"

    Fujiwara Shinnao rushed to the carriage in a few steps. When he opened the curtain of the carriage, Fujiwara Shinnao was stunned. He did not see the emperor. What he saw was:

    Asakusako!

    Asakusa was tied up and thrown into the carriage, her mouth was tightly covered, and she couldn't move at all. What was even more frightening was that there were piles of gunpowder around Asakusa.

    At this moment, dozens of "Japanese" who were kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up, and lit torches in their hands. Then, dozens of torches were thrown towards the carriage.

    "No!" Minamoto Yoshitaka, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, burst into a heartbreaking cry.

    But it was too late

    The torches fell on the carriage one after another.  Then there was a huge explosion

    Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.  His Majesty the Emperor is dead.  His Majesty the Emperor is dead!

    "The Japanese are rioting and killing Mingzheng! The Japanese are rioting and killing Mingzheng!"

    At this time, the cry came again, and countless Tiger Guards soldiers appeared in an instant.

    Riding on the horse at the front is Wang Wei, a guerrilla from the Huben Guard stationed in Kyoto, Japan!

    Wang Wei looked at everything in front of him coldly, and then slowly pulled out his sword: "The Japanese rioted, killing Japan's deposed Emperor Ming Zheng, and the Huben Guards officers. Suppress the rebellion!"

    Tiger Wei Wei, rebellion!

    When this order was issued, the counter-rebellion in Kyoto began!

    Ming Zheng in the palace could no longer see all this, she sat there in a daze.  Not a word could come out.

    Ding Yunyi stood beside him and told her with a slight smile: "Your ministers are trying every means to rescue you. Unfortunately, in the eyes of all Japanese, they are the ones who 'killed' you. So, they  They are all sinners of Japan.¡±

    Then, he tilted his head and looked at Mingzheng: "Tell me, what is your fate?"

    Mingzheng smiled bitterly: "Since I have been 'killed' by my ministers, I don't think I can leave the palace alive, right?"

    Ding Yunyi nodded solemnly: "I have prepared a painless death method for you."

    "I beg you, can you let my people go?" Mingzheng suddenly said: "We can't shed too much blood anymore."

    Ding Yunyi laughed when he heard this: "What do you think?"

    What do you think?

    When this sentence is spoken.  Ming Zheng knew that everything was over.

    This devil-like person will never let his people go. He will turn Kyoto into a purgatory. He will make Kyoto red with the blood of the Japanese.

    Japan, is this really the end?

    Mingzheng slowly took the glass of poisonous wine in front of him

    ?¡­

    More than a thousand Japanese had no room to resist in front of the elite Huben Guards and those terrifying firearms.  All they faced was a horrific massacre.  No one can save their fate, no one.

    The entire team involved in the rebellion has been completely defeated, and all that is left is killing and being killed.

    No matter how hard Minamoto Yoshitaka and Peace will work.  There was no way to save the terrible failure.

    "Retreat, retreat!" Under such circumstances, Minamoto Yoshitaka had no choice but to give the order to retreat.  The only good thing is that Tachibana Koichi and his bravest warrior Torimoto Akira are still doing their best to protect them.

    Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, Minamoto Yoshitaka, Taira Masaki, and Tachibana Koichi finally rushed out with the few remaining samurai.

    They failed, and the Emperor died like this.They were angry, but they were unwilling to do so. As long as they were still alive, they must avenge this blood feud.

    They can still fight, Japan has not surrendered yet!

    Breathing heavily, they finally managed to escape the enemy's pursuit. This was the path Tachibana Koichi pointed out to them, and it was also the only safe place at the moment.

    "Failed, failed, His Majesty the Emperor!" Taira Masaki suddenly burst into tears.

    Minamoto Yoshitaka was also crying, but he barely controlled his emotions: "Master Taira, please put away your tears, we are still here, and we can continue to fight for Japan!"

    "You can't do it anymore!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside.

    Minamoto Yoshitaka and Taira Masaki raised their heads, their eyes suddenly burning with anger.  What they saw was Song Baocai, Chifeng Xuancheng, Matsumoto Taro and a large number of Ming Dynasty or Japanese people holding muskets around them.

    "Traitor, shameless!" Yuan Yizhong yelled.

    Song Baocai smiled slightly: "Yes, I feel a little shameless myself, but I am the commander of the Golden Sword Guard. Do you really think I am a dissatisfied guard?"

    As he spoke, he seemed to say approvingly: "Chifeng Xuancheng, your performance is good."

    Chifeng Xuancheng looked at Song Baocai, then at Yuan Yizhong and others, lowered his head and said nothing.

    "Lord Tachibana, Tori Benming, protect Lord Yuan, rush out!" Ping Jiangcheng said angrily.

    "Hai!" Tori Benaki responded loudly and pulled out his katana.

    The sword flashed out instantly.

    The one who fell was Ping Jiangcheng.

    Yuan Yizhong looked on blankly, his body trembling all over.

    Tori Benmei actually killed Lord Ping?

    He suddenly understood something: "Mr. Tachibana, have you also betrayed Japan?"

    Tachibana Koichi sighed: "Master Minamoto, there is no way. I also have a family. I also have so many family members. I must protect them. Marquis Wulie found me very early and promised that as long as I can stand by their side,  On the other hand, my family will not be harmed."

    "Are you betraying Japan just because of this?" Minamoto Yoshitaka asked unyieldingly.

    "It's not just that." Tachibana Taka smiled and said, "Marquis Wulie also promised me to be the chief envoy of Japan."

    "Japan's Chief Envoy?" Minamoto Yoshitaka was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something: "Could it be that you actually want to destroy Japan?"

    "It's not about annihilation, it's about changing Japan to a new world." Taro Matsumoto helped answer this question: "The Japanese provincial capital will be richer in the future, and every Japanese will live a happy life. Isn't this what we strive for?"  ¡±

    Minamoto Yoshitaka smiled miserably, he no longer knew what to say to these shameless traitors.

    A terrible plan to destroy Japan turned into such a sacred thing in their mouths.  Is there anyone more despicable than these people?

    "Go to hell, Minamoto-sama." Tachibana Koichi said calmly: "You don't need to worry about the future of Japan."

    "No!" Yuan Yi Zhong let out a heartbreaking roar, and then rushed forward desperately.

    Tori Motoaki's katana was swung out again, and Minamoto Yoshitada and his companion Taira Shojo fell in a pool of blood.

    It's all over now.  The dreams of people like Minamoto Yoshitaka were also completely shattered.

    The so-called four nobles of Japan have now completed their journey.

    But for Kyoto, the killing has just begun.

    Counterinsurgency, counterinsurgency!

    This is an order that no one can disobey.

    More than 1,200 Japanese who participated in the rebellion were almost all killed by the Ming army and the Japanese who were willing to assist the Ming army.

    And further arrests are also in progress.

    "Such massacres will continue to happen." Looking at Kyoto stained red with blood, Ding Yunyi said slowly: "I am about to return to Fujian, and I will leave it to you how to govern Japan."

    Su Yang Qiuyuan nodded: "I understand."

    "A large-scale war will break out soon." Ding Yunyi's face was solemn: "I'm talking about our Ming Dynasty. Once the war breaks out, I need Japan to provide me with a steady stream of civilians and supplies. You can do it  ?"

    "I promise I can do it!" Su Yang Qiuyuan's answer was very firm.

    "Then I'm relieved." Ding Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm very happy to leave Japan to you to govern.Don¡¯t worry, after returning to Fujian, I won¡¯t care about Japan¡¯s affairs anymore.  Rogue bandits and golden prisoners are what I care about most and what I most urgently want to solve.  "

    Ding Yunyi knows very well that a new journey and the biggest test in his life will soon begin!  Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work
