Chapter 545: The end of Japan's Makuhara, only the magical reform (please make a reservation, vote)
December 1, 1855, Western calendar, dusk.
Although the earthquake had passed for a full twenty days, the shogunate's disaster relief efficiency was still as low as ever. The ruins of Edo Castle Town seemed particularly desolate in the twilight. The corpses buried by rubble had begun to rot, and the stinking of corpses filled the sky above the once prosperous city town.
Nanmoto Daozi walked through the broken long house on clogs soaked in mud. Behind her, twelve white-clothed believers, each of whom carried a basket of brown rice, and the rice bag was marked with the dragon emblem of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
"Blessed by Father!" Daozi shouted in a Kanto accent. The cross with a golden chain between his neck swayed in the morning light, and the victims curled up in the ruins began to wriggle. On the second floor of a tea house that survived the earthquake on the street, several Fukuyama vassals pressed the hilt of the knife and tried to go downstairs, but were stopped by the old middle-aged Masahiro Abe.
The figure of Naosuke Ii's silence appeared on the second floor of the Tea House. The Hikone lord narrowed his eyes and looked at the rice to distribute brown rice to the victims, turned his head and whispered near the other side: "Where did the macaque come from? It would win people's hearts. But when will it be the turn of the Southern Barbarian cult to show kindness in the Tokugawa family's world?"
Daozi seemed to notice something, and suddenly looked up at the tea house. She took off the blue blue Yuori embroidered with cherry blossom patterns, revealing the bright yellow embroidered dragon short jacket inside - this is the court suit of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom God Concubine (actually Wang Niang and a senior female official). Naochi Ii's pupils suddenly contracted, and he held the sword tightly with his left hand, and his right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the knife, and whispered: "It's the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom again."
"Iizhi," Abe Masahiro, who looked sallow and obviously sick, called Ii, and said in a hoarse voice, "That mixed-race woman is Kumamoto Daozi, she is the concubine of King Hong Tian of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"
Jing Yi snorted, with disdain on her face, but her hand holding the knife had already let go: "What kind of concubine? She is just a toy of Hong Xiuquan."
Masahiro Abe shook his head, and his turbid eyes suddenly became a little clear: "Iizhi, the times have changed! According to reliable information, the world has entered the era of divine arts and fairy tales. The prophecy of the Edo earthquake is proof! Japan must not ignore the magic arts and fairy tales that have just appeared. It must follow up!" He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the rice that was distributing brown rice to the victims on the street. His voice was already so clear that it was too deep. "There is a Hongquan of Kansai who is very close to a group of ill-hearted ministers and foreign vassal lords, and recruited many ronins to form a crusade. Therefore, the shogunate also needs the power of magic arts and fairy tales."
Osaka, the Archdiocese of the Japanese Diocese of the True Job.
The afterglow of the sunset shone into the Archdiocese, which was comparable to the arcade house through the glazed window, and coated Hong Daquan's face with a layer of blood. A secret letter sent from the Edo Cathedral of the Monoyo Send was pinched into a ball in his hand.
"She dared to use the name of the young king!" Hong Daquan's teeth creaked and he looked extremely angry.
A beautiful female swordsman kneeling on the side pressed the long light of the Prajna at her waist, and the four words "Heavenly Father's Blessing" on the knife were shining with a cold light: "I will take the female warrior group to Edo."
"Nothing!" Hong Daquan glared at the woman wearing a vermilion formation, and her slender fingers were already on the hilt of the knife, as if she was about to rush to Edo to kill Kumamoto Rice to death.
The woman's name is Chiba Sana. She was born in the Chiba family of famous swordsmanship. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has excellent swordsmanship. Her father, Chiba Shusaku, was the master of Beichen Yidaliu, and was as famous as the shogunate swordsman Saito Yakuro. A few months ago, she was spotted by Hong Daquan, who went to Edo to inform the "Double Eleven Earthquake Prophet" to the shogunate Tokugawa Idea. She was appointed as a retainer with an annual salary of 300 jin and the status of "family elders", and served as the director of the female warrior group, responsible for recruiting and training female warriors for Hong Daquan.
"Lord!" Chiba Zuo looked at Hong Daquan with anticipation, "Please believe that his subordinates have stronger martial arts than Rinko, and he can get the head of the rice neck alone."
Rinko is a female pen-headed warrior under Hong Daquan. She was born in Iga. Although her martial arts skills are far inferior to Chiba, who was from a famous swordsman, she has killed more than a dozen people who are in trouble for Hong Daquan. Because she accidentally exposed her identity when assassinating a monk from the Honanji family, Hong Daquan sent to the Americas to kill Hong Renzheng.
However, Hong Daquan still couldn't forget his capable subordinates, and often praised Rinko in front of a group of female warriors.
Qianye’s work in the female warrior group is more like a swordsman teacher and Hong Daquan’s personal servant, and has never had a task.
"Who do you think you are?" Hearing that Qianye compared his martial arts to Rinko and wanted to get the head of Rinko, Hong Daquan suddenly stood up and slapped Qianye hard in the face.
Qianye's head was beaten to the point of being tilted, and red palm prints immediately appeared on his fair cheeks, but he didn't say a word and just took it silently.
Hong Daquan just made a deep voice and said word by word in Japanese: "Daozi is a god's concubine, I cannot touch her unless there is an order from the angel."
He actually didn't tell the truth to Qianye, and there were two reasons why he couldn't move rice.
First, the internal struggle of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is currently limited to the bottom line of "high-level officials do not kill each other". With Hong Xiuquan's respect and Langnukis's spear, Xiao Chaogui was severely punished, let alone others?
Second, Daozi is a two-faced person. While being loyal to Yang Xiuqing, she is also serving Luo Yaoguo. Her daughter Gao Zi is also Hong Daquan's adopted daughter.
The rapid sound of clogs broke the depressing atmosphere in the room from far to near. A disciple of Zhenyou Sect dressed in a ronin pounced outside the door and said breathlessly: "Bissary! Lord Wu from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has just arrived at Osaka Port on the Pacific Ocean in Jardine."
Hong Daquan squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then looked back at Qianye whose face was swollen by him, "Qianye, go pack your luggage and board the Pacific with me!"
"Lord," Qianye was stunned, "Where are we going?"
Hong Daquan smiled: "Of course I went to Tianjing. Come with me to meet that angel. He is a truly powerful figure!"
At Ye Hai, the roar of the Pacific steam engine sounded again. Hong Daquan hurriedly climbed the gangway wrapped in a sable cloak. Chibasa's cheeks were a little red and swollen. Her vermilion formation feather under the oil lamp was like a ball of fluttering blood.
"Bishop Hong, are you okay?" Wu Chongyao bowed his fists to Hong Daquan, with a respectful smile on his face, and said to Natalia in English, "Natalia, this Bishop Hong is a big shot in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"
Natalia's female grandfather nodded to Hong Daquan with a smile, and then introduced herself in a stiff Chinese: "My name is Natalie, I am from Italy, and I am Maria's sister."
This identity was fabricated by Wu Chongyao for her. She cannot appear in Tianjin as a Russian female grand duke. The conspiracy between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Russia cannot be exposed!
When Hong Daquan heard that the person came was Maria's sister, he immediately became respectful. Maria is a woman of the same level as Hong Xuanjiao, and her status is even higher than Su Sanniang! Maria's sister can't afford to offend her.
"Rinko is your person?" Wu Chongyao made Suke's gesture while picking Hong Daquan into the cabin, "She has made great contributions in the United States this time!"
Hong Daquan asked with a smile: "What great function? Can you say it?"
Wu Chongyao smiled and said, "I won't say it anymore, you can ask her yourself later."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
"Ask her? She is back so soon?" Hong Daquan was stunned, and immediately understood something, nodded, and whispered: "It seems that the one who killed another amazing person this time!"
Wu Chongyao nodded, and then changed the topic: "Boss Hong, I heard from Rinko that Japan is in a turbulent situation and the domestic downturn, the two factions of Zuofu are fighting fiercely? It won't affect the other side of the Pacific Ocean, right?"
"How is that possible?" Hong Daquan smiled, "No matter how he fights, Japan will only rely on the magic to reform!"
"Only God's Reform?" Wu Chongyao was stunned, "What God?"
Hong Daquan clasped his fist towards the void: "Of course it's Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, Heavenly King, and Angel! Whether it's the Anti-Mao Sect or the Samakura Sect, they have already recognized the big things. If Japan wants to survive on its own, it must learn the magical arts and immortal techniques!"
Edo Castle thousands of miles away, Kuroku Academy.
Nanmoto was kneeling in front of Tokugawa Jiading. The general stroked the "True Contract" written by Hong Xiuquan, who was presented with her pale fingers. His eyes were narrowed, as if he was feeling the supreme divine power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Several old masters knelt on the side, looking at the general who was suffering from "brain-dead" with a look of worry in his eyes.
When the general took his finger from the True Covenant, he showed a childlike innocent smile: "I don't like reading."
Daozi seemed to have known for a long time that this True Covenant could not cure the general's "brain-destructiveness", but he still said to Abe Masahiro on the side: "Abe, this True Covenant contains some magical magic of the king, which can make the person who owns it clear-headed. As long as the general brings it with him every day, it should improve in the long run."
Abe Masahiro looked at the foolish general, and then said to Daozi: "Daozi, I heard that the angel of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and His Highness Maria have many wonders. Can you ask one of them to treat the general? As long as you can cure the general's brain disease, everything will be easy."
Iyoshi Naoki on the side also said, "Even if His Highness of the Angel is full of trouble, you can ask His Royal Highness to come down to Edo. The shogunate can welcome her arrival with the standard of greeting the inner prince!"
Daozi didn't expect the other party to make such a request, but she is now from Yang Xiuqing and Hong Ren-ye, so she can't lead the shogunate to Luo Yaoguo, so she smiled and said, "Yang Luo is the prime minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. When Mary is pregnant, they will never come to Japan in the short term. Why not...you try to invite the King of Dong and King of Gan?"
