"Look at you one by one, it's really useless to ask for help from the Huaxing Army, what is the use of the shogunate to raise you" Tokugawa Kei angrily scolded, he now feels more and more alive and aggrieved, completely becoming a puppet of the Chinese.He was cowardly, but not stupid, and knew his situation very well.Now the inside and outside of the shogunate are all handled by Qiao Shan Xing, although Tokugawa Qingsheng and Qiao Shan Xing are married, but they have never had sex together.Qiao Shanxing's heart has always been worried about Qiao Zhiqing, and she doesn't even want to touch it on Tokugawa's birthday.Over time, Tokugawa's birthday became a little self-defeating.It's not as sunny and cheerful as before, hiding in the house all day long, looking for some beautiful women to serve every day."
Shogun, everyone is right, this is the situation of our shogunate now.Although he was able to organize some samurai, he didn't have sophisticated weapons, and even in the face of the Shogunate faction, he would be sent to death in vain.Since it has come to this point, it is better to go directly to the Huaxing Army for help, otherwise there will be greater casualties. ”Qiao Shanxing finally spoke, and all the ministers in the audience also agreed."
Okay, it's up to you to decide, let's dismiss" Tokugawa Keisi waved his hand impatiently, got up and went out of the house.Qiao Shanxing bowed to everyone embarrassedly, and also bowed and retreated with him."
Qingshengjun, why did you make such a big fire" After the two returned to the residence in the backyard, Qiao Shanxing's maid took the teapot in her hand, opened the door and walked in carefully.Kneeling down in front of Tokugawa's birthday, he carefully poured him tea without the slightest expression on his face."
Apricot, you tell me, are you Yamada Kyoko now, or Qiao Shan Xing I find that I don't know you anymore, we are still as good as before" Tokugawa Keisheng hugged Qiao Shan Xing's hands, and said with affectionate eyes, almost crying."
Qingshengjun, does it matter who I am, if you can support the overall situation, why do I have to work hard all day as a woman.Now the shogunate is in danger, and if you don't ask for help from the Huaxing army, it can only be a dead end.You've disappointed me so much today that you shouldn't have said those frustrating things in front of all the big people.You are a shogun, you should give them the hope of victory" Qiao Shan Xing pulled his hand out of Tokugawa Qingsheng's hand, still making tea on his own."
Ha, ha, ha, general apricot, look at me now, where do I look like a general, I'm just a puppet, if Qiao Zhiqing is unhappy, he can abolish me immediately.Apricot, you have changed, you will not be so greedy for power before.I know what you've done behind my back.The daimyo and samurai in the shogunate who opposed me were assassinated one after another, and you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you" Tokugawa Keisi laughed wildly, his eyes full of tears of pain."
Qingshengjun, I'm just trying to save your life.The people of the shogunate are not all that loyal to you and me, and they have long since secretly taken refuge in the Shogunate faction.If I don't get rid of them, they'll join forces with the Shogunate to get rid of us.You are a man, and I want you to take on the responsibilities of a man.Don't always hide behind women, spend all day drinking, and lose your fighting spirit" Qiao Shanxing finished brewing tea with a calm face, got up and left the house as usual, without the slightest emotional ups and downs."
Conspiracy, it's all a conspiracy apricot, you've been blinded by power, you're no longer my apricot" Tokugawa Keisei knelt on the ground and howled, waving his hand and slamming it on the floor.As soon as his body went limp, he lay down, his eyes full of helpless tears.Japan's Mikawa Bay, Toyokawa base of the East China Sea Fleet.Zheng Dahai gathered all the captains and generals of the Marine Corps, and he had just received Qiao Zhiqing's military report and was about to announce Qiao Zhiqing's instructions."
Commander, what instructions does the president have, is it going to be at war with foreign devils?"
Li Jun, the commander of the Marine Division, was the first to ask, this year he led his subordinates to practice all day long, except for drills, and he didn't fight for a year, which made him almost sick."
Yes, Commander, the brethren have long since been suffocated.Just waiting to pacify Japan and oust that Meiji Koji from the throne. ”The commander of the Left Brigade, Li Mingyi, echoed the echo, and his brigade headquarters was stationed in Nagoya, only a mountain away from the army of the Fallen Shogun.Every day, watching the army of the Fallen Curtain Sect practice in front of him, like a mosquito swaying around him every day, he couldn't help but want to fight over for a long time.The Curtain Dumping faction was also to exercise the will of the soldiers, and during the drill, like the demonstration, they dangled in front of the Huaxing Army every day."
Lao Li, you are still aggrieved, when you change shifts every week, I see that you run diligently to the comfort station, I have to expose you to my sister-in-law when I go back" Zhang Yue, the commander of the right brigade, teased, he has a good relationship with Li Mingyi, and he always likes to joke with each other."
Pull it, you Zhang boy is going less, I think that Japanese girls are about to hook your soul away" Li Mingyi didn't care, retorted, and laughed.All the generals also laughed, and they all looked like they were all in their chests."
Okay, give me a little serious, none of them are doing right" Zheng Dahai smiled, there was no way to take these generals of the Marine Corps, so he continued angrily, "This time, the South China Sea Fleet will also cooperate with us to fight, and the East China Sea Fleet will cooperate to attack the foreigners' warships at sea, and your Marines are responsible for resisting the army of the Fallen Shogun faction on land."
It is important to remember that the strategic target this time is the ships of the foreigners.The Marines focus on defense, don't fall easily, and it's not the time for a decisive battle with the Fallen Shogun. ”"Why, Commander, go directly to Kyoto, won't it be over if you take Meiji Xiao'er" As soon as Zheng Dahai's words came out, even Li Jun, the commander of the Marine Corps, couldn't help frowning."
Yes, Commander, our Marine War is more than enough to deal with the Japanese rabble, won't it be over if we fight directly to Kyoto?"
the other Marine Corps generals shouted in confusion."
Now, with the assistance of foreigners, the Fallen Curtain faction has organized and trained a new army of more than 100,000 soldiers, all of which are equipped with breech-loading foreign guns assisted by foreigners, and their combat effectiveness is not trivial.The overall situation in the country has not yet been decided, and the president's attention is not yet in Japan.Therefore, the target of this battle is only for the fleet of foreigners, and does not include the army of the Fallen Shogun.Who dares to disobey the military order and easily make a dangerous attack, the military law will deal with it" Zheng Dahai reminded with a serious face, and looked around at the generals of the Marine Corps.The generals of the Marine Corps also knew that he was not joking, and they all stood up and saluted with serious faces.The captains also stood up and saluted, shouting loudly.In order to safeguard their interests in the Asian region, Britain, France, and the United States pinned their hopes partly on the Manchu Qing dynasty and partly on the Japanese shogunate.200,000 of the latest breech-loading foreign guns were shipped from China and presented to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Japanese Shogunate faction respectively.They also helped them build a military factory specializing in the manufacture of smokeless gunpowder and breech-loading rifle cartridges.Although neither Japan nor the Manchus had a basic steel industry, it was more than enough to make steel by the local method and make ammunition.Although the foreigners made breech rifles, they did not study the expeditionary machine gun.The process of this machine gun is very complicated, even the Nanjing Military Factory and the Taiyuan Military Factory can only make more than 10,000 units a year.On the other hand, they did not pay attention to machine guns, and the formation of the drill was still the same as the original dense charge formation.The progress of firearms did not lead to an innovation in tactics.In Qiao Zhiqing's world, Germany was the first to invent the Makqin machine gun in the Qing Dynasty, but it did not attract the attention of all countries.It was not until the First World War that positional warfare was gradually accepted by all countries.Because of its huge lethality, the Maxim machine gun gradually appeared in people's field of vision.Therefore, although the Japanese army of the Fallen Shogun faction was equipped with breech foreign guns, there would be a certain risk if the Huaxing Army took the initiative to attack, but if it relied on the defense of various strongholds, it would be more than enough.A month later, just as the New Year was approaching.The Japanese emperor issued an edict claiming that the shogunate had become a puppet of China and a spokesman for the enslavement of Japan.He called on the people of the whole country to unite to overthrow the rule of the shogunate and drive the Chinese garrison out of Japan.The shogunate and the Huaxing army had also reached an agreement that the shogunate would provide logistical supplies and the Huaxing army would block the attack of the fallen shogunate.On the same day, it was also publicly announced that the emperor had been held hostage by the Westerners and the Shogunate faction, and had become a puppet of the Westerners and a spokesman for the enslavement of Japan.He called on the people of the whole country to unite to overthrow the rule of the Shogunate faction and drive the Westerners out of Japan.The common people at the bottom of Japan have not even read books, and they are similar to the common people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, where do they understand so many great truths.For a while, I didn't know which side to support, and they all watched coldly, watching the high-level fights with a blank eye.The shogunate also carried out several reforms during the year, easing relations with the samurai and peasants.Qiao Shanxing's books in Suzhou Academy were not read in vain, and she used the hands of Hanzangmen to get rid of many big names, and there was also a reason for this.It is to redistribute the land to the peasants, which is the same as the nature of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" in New China.Hanzomon has also expanded from simple secret forbearance to half of open forbearance.The recruits were all excellent samurai, equipped with expeditionary rifles provided by the Huaxing Army, and were the most combat-ready weapons in the shogunate.Although this series of reforms of the shogunate could not fundamentally solve the problem, it also changed the rule of the shogunate a lot among the people at the bottom.During the period when Huaxingjun was stationed in Japan, he did not commit much crime.On the contrary, the foreigners originally relied on strong ships and cannons to open the door of Japan, and they were also notorious in Japan, and everyone was afraid of them like tigers.Now the common people are more on the side of the shogunate, and they are all waiting to see the final winner of this battle.It was not as expected by Emperor Meiji that all the Japanese people united and fought against the shogunate and the Huaxing army.Three days after the statement was issued, there was no group response.Three days later, the army of the Shogunate faction launched an attack on Yonebara City.The gates of Nagoya, which is located between the mountain passes, were once again covered in the flames of war.In addition, a team of more than 10,000 people, with the assistance of foreign warships, sneaked into Ise Bay south of Nagoya and came up with a surprise sneak attack on the back road of the Huaxing army
