"Lieutenant Puyi! Lead your team to location 5 immediately and report to Major Kurita."

"Yes!" After the second lieutenant Puyi answered, he immediately called his troops to the designated position. As a trainee lieutenant of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, Puyi's obedience to orders is almost conditioned reflexive. However, when he led his team straight to the destination, Puyi felt a ridiculous feeling again.

When he was studying at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, the Japanese government hid Puyi's identity. The Osaka Division where Puyi was intern only knew that Puyi was a Chinese student. The Future Society believed that since he was a Chinese student, he was a force that could be united. He had no idea that Puyi's purpose of studying in Japan was to overthrow the He Rui regime.

Location No. 5 is located in the middle of the left wing of the Japanese Revolutionary Army attacking Sakurada Gate. When he saw Puyi leading the team to come, Major Kurita arranged Puyi in the second echelon of infantry. If the first echelon suffered great losses in the attack, Puyi's team in the second echelon would take over the first echelon and launch an attack on the defenders on the Sakurada Gate wall.

Seeing that his troops were in place, Major Kurita shouted to his subordinates, "The enemy is in Sakurada Gate!"

‘The enemy is inside the Sakurada Gate!’ Puyi raised his arms and shouted with his Japanese comrades beside him, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. After completing the campus study of the non-commissioned officer school, Puyi was assigned to the Osaka Division for internship. Since the entire Osaka Division chose to join the Ishihara camp, the cleaning of the Osaka Division went very smoothly.

Puyi himself has rich life experience, and young people in his twenties have their own backbone. Puyi does not want to ask for security protection from the He Rui government. In order not to be killed by the angry soldiers who intend to overthrow the current government, Puyi had to say, "I am willing to participate in the revolution." Because Puyi's identity as a Chinese student, he naturally became a member of the Revolutionary Army.

Before Puyi could take the time to escape, the Osaka Division advanced to Tokyo in an established system, and Puyi did not even have the chance to escape along the way. So, the former Chinese emperor, who was forced to abdicate, participated in the military operation to overthrow the Japanese regime as a member of the Japanese Revolutionary Army.

Commanding the troops to fight requires a high degree of concentration. After the battle began, Puyi actually forgot to escape. Only when he led the troops to the Sakurada Gate did Puyi have time to consider his position.

As a second lieutenant who was an international student and an intern, Puyi did see the tragic situation in Japan. He was poor, had no food and clothing, starved to death on the streets, sold his children, and hanged himself. Even the seemingly secure officer was miserable. When he went to buy a spring, he actually met his sister who was sold to a brothel. The officer who was strongly stimulated returned to the barracks and committed suicide.

As a well-educated young man, the content of the "Outline of Japan's Future Reform" proposed by the Future Society is not difficult for Puyi to understand. These young Japanese soldiers who have accepted the "Outline of Japan's Future Reform" believe that as long as they take He Rui's regime as their teacher, Japan can also achieve the same liberation.

As an emperor, as a person who was expelled from the 1911 Revolution and was driven out of the palace by He Rui. Puyi was very resistant to the subjects' attack on the court and the royal family. Puyi always believed that the Qing court really did not want the country to reach such a bad point, so the Qing court was overthrown, which was actually quite unfair.

After personally participating in the Japanese revolution, Puyi suddenly understood. No matter what the court said, the court has been asking the people to take responsibility and results. Compared with the pain the people endured, the pain of the court is not worth mentioning in terms of quality or quantity.

When the people figured out that the current regime was the source of their suffering and death threats, all the people's thoughts naturally became one sentence, "The enemy is in the Sakurada Gate!"

Although he was resentful of his loss of the throne, Puyi was quite interested in destroying the Japanese royal family. In a sense, if there had not been a Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Puyi would probably continue to be his emperor now. Even if he could not kill the Japanese emperor with his own hands and saw the Japanese emperor being overthrown with his own eyes, Puyi was willing to witness this scene with his own eyes as a front-line officer and soldier of the Japanese Revolutionary Army.

At this time, a searchlight suddenly lit up above Sakurada Gate, and the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Revolutionary Army outside the palace immediately began to hide instinctively. The officers and soldiers of the Palace Guard above the city wall did not take this opportunity to launch an attack. The searchlight only illuminated the road in front of Sakurada Gate. Is anyone on Sakurada Gate pointing at them with a loudspeaker?"

When Puyi heard this sentence, he was shocked, and a mixture of contempt and emotion arose. Of course, the imperial power must be able to bend and stretch, otherwise the Chinese emperor would have no reason to issue a self-destruction. But the person at Sakurada Gate's delaying plan was too clumsy.

Immediately, the man at Sakurada Gate continued to shout: "If you have any requests, you can send representatives to appeal. If what you say makes sense, the inner minister will also convey to His Majesty the Emperor and ask His Majesty the Emperor to summon your representatives to meet the saint. If the people know this, they will definitely think that you are coercing the Emperor and not acting for the country!"

Puyi felt that this was really meaningless. The Qing Dynasty was more skilled than Japan in these aspects. Is it useful in the end?

However, Puyi could also see that many of the officers and soldiers around him seemed to have been moved, and his previous enthusiasm for moving forward was weakened a lot. He couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that the pressure of the Japanese royal family that has lasted for more than two thousand years is so effective?

However, after a moment, an officer shouted, "Comrades from all troops in the Future Society will explain to our troops!"

The squadron where Puyi was located asked each team to gather quickly. The members of the Future Society in the squadron ran to everyone and asked loudly: "Do you still remember the Sakuradamen massacre?"

As soon as this was said, Puyi felt a stern. For China, the Sakuradamen massacre was similar to a book on a bus. A group of college students loyal to the Japanese royal family came to knelt down and begged the emperor, but they were useless. Instead, the students were killed and injured by unknown people in black. Since the members of the Future Society mentioned this, Puyi understood that the Future Society was very well prepared.

However, the officers and soldiers in the Japanese Revolutionary Army did not have Puyi's experience. They were stunned when they heard the Sakuradamen massacre. The members of the Future Society continued to ask loudly: "The college students knelt down for several hours, but there was no response in the palace. We are just civilians. Why did the palace send the ministers to talk to each other this time?"

The officers and soldiers held their breath, and they actually had ideas, but they didn't dare to say this at this time. The cadres of the Future Society decisively identified the reason, "Because we hit here with weapons, those people knew that the students could stop and kill them. But we couldn't stop and couldn't kill them! If we really wanted to hear the emperor's opinion, please continue to fight, break through the Sakurada Gate, and break into the palace. At that time, no one could stop us from asking questions to the emperor! That question is, who is responsible for the current situation!"

Puyi sighed slightly in his heart. Before Li Zicheng's army arrived at the palace, Chongzhen hanged himself in Coal Mountain. Yuan Shikai and others raised this question to the Qing royal family, and the Qing royal family announced their abdication. Judging from China's history, once the Japanese Revolutionary Army arrived in front of the Japanese Emperor, the Japanese royal family would have the same result.

When the officers and soldiers of the revolutionary army heard the questions raised by the cadres of the Future Society, their original intention of participating in the revolution immediately overwhelmed the habit of treating the Japanese emperor as a living god. Someone immediately shouted: "The enemy is in the Sakurada Gate!" The other officers and soldiers shouted together, and the morale of the army, which was slightly affected, gathered again.

At this time, the 150 heavy artillery had arrived. The Revolutionary Army artillery commander did not delay at all and immediately ordered, "Fire!"

The barrier in front of Sakurada Gate was built with sandbags. In an instant, under the bombardment of 150 artillery, together with the guards in the barrier, turned into powder. The 150 artillery immediately adjusted its muzzle and began to bombard the wall next to Sakurada Gate.

The Inner Minister on the city wall thought that his just shouting had worked. As the shell hit the city wall, the Inner Minister seemed to stand on the back of a running horse, and the city wall under his feet vibrated violently. When he stood unsteadily, the Inner Minister fell directly to the top of the city. Although the 150 shell could not immediately crush the city wall, the shock wave generated by the collision between the shell and the city wall was transmitted into the bodies of the officers and soldiers on the city wall along the material medium. The fluctuating energy hit the muscles and internal organs of the people on the city wall. Some soldiers fell to the ground because of their sore muscles. The officers and soldiers with weak internal organs were even trembling and vomited blood.

At least half of the officers and soldiers felt their heads buzzing. Before they could recover, 150 shells kept hitting the walls of Sakurada Gate like meteors. The inner minister wanted to stand up, but his limbs seemed to be shocked, and the numbness made him very weak. Finally, the inner minister's throat turned sweet, blood blurted out, and sprayed on the ground of the city wall that was beginning to crack.

Okamura had experienced many battles and felt something was wrong, so he began to escape from the city. Although the ground in the square behind Sakurada Gate was also trembling, it was not of the same magnitude compared to the impact felt at the city. Okamura did not dare to stay and rushed to the inner courtyard of the palace. He had to bring news to the senior officials of the inner courtyard of the palace. It would not take long before they would have to face the vicious revolutionary army in person.

The gate of Sakurada Gate was very thick, but the shells of the 150 artillery were like rotten wood, but they were completely broken by two bursting bombs. The revolutionary army in the first echelon was already rushing up with shouts, and each officer and soldier had bayonets on their rifles. From the first step to start charging, they knew that they would face the cruel hand-to-hand combat next.

The Palace Guard also knew that its number could never stop tens of thousands of enemy troops, but they still shouted the slogan "Long live the Emperor (Long live)" and the last line of defense on the road leading to the palace inner courtyard of Sakurada Gate.

Over the past few decades, the Palace Guards have always been told that they are the last line of defense. As long as one of them is alive, the enemy will not be able to rush to the emperor. For this reason, the Palace Guards have the strictest discipline and enjoy far higher treatment than other army officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers of these Palace Guards do not want to die, but at this time they do not know what other choices they can have besides fighting.

Roars and screams resounded through the passage. Many palace guards even if they were stabbed by the bayonets of revolutionary soldiers, they would insert bayonets into the chest before they died. However, compared with the revolutionary army, the number of palace guards was too small. After a while, the revolutionary soldiers had killed all the guards blocking the passage, and they rushed straight to the next door like a flood.

The gate leading to the inner courtyard was closed, and the revolutionary officers and soldiers exploded the gate with explosives and rushed into the next courtyard. Another group of palace guards in the courtyard. The fierce battle ended within 15 minutes. Over the corpses all over the ground, the revolutionary army rushed towards the third gate. As the explosion sounded, the gate collapsed.

Unlike the passage and the courtyard in front, many electric lights in this courtyard were on. Under the lights, many people stood in front of an exquisite hall. These people had no rifles or weapons. They were just standing there, as if they wanted to rely on their flesh and blood to intercept the torrent composed of Japanese revolutionary officers and soldiers.

This scene made the Japanese Revolutionary Army officers and soldiers who had been fighting bravely feel a little uncomfortable. Since the other party did not intend to use force, the revolutionary army officers and soldiers did not immediately start killing, but walked more than ten meters away from the other party to concentrate.

At this time, Second Lieutenant Puyi also rushed in with the second echelon. He saw the chests and shoulders of the people in front of the hall, and various medals and class seals shining under the light. These medals and class seals were showing their identities as either generals or senior officials.

A man walked out of these high-ranking officials at this time, and he shouted loudly: "I am the Minister of Army Yoshinobu Shirakawa! When you come here, aren't you telling the emperor you requested? If you move forward again, you will disturb the Holy Driving!"

After such a running, Lieutenant Puyi's heart beat violently. Shirakawa Yoshinosa's words stopped in Puyi's ears, which made Puyi, who was excited, feel funny. The Revolutionary Army killed so many people and rushed here, in order to disturb the Japanese emperor. Shirakawa Yoshinosa's courage to quarrel like this at this time, and it would be fine if he shot him.

But the Japanese army stopped in such a whim. The officers and soldiers were once again limited by the tradition of more than two thousand years, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this moment, an angry shout came from the entrance: "Comrades, arrest these traitors!"

Hearing the word "traitor", the revolutionary officers and soldiers immediately regained their vitality. Everyone rushed forward with a shout, and the two held down one, and in a moment they controlled the senior civil and military officials and brought them aside.

Okamura was one of them. He did not resist, nor did he curse like other high-ranking officials. At this point, Okamura put all his expectations on Ishihara. Okamura believed that Ishihara just wanted to completely seize power, and then took over the power after the emperor was put under house arrest. Now Nagata should die, and many high-ranking officials would die. But Ishihara did not need to kill all the high-ranking officials, even if it was a thousand-month horse bone, leaving someone like Okamura would be of great benefit to Ishihara's grasp of power.

At this time, an old man in a gorgeous uniform walked out of the hall. He seemed to have not seen the captured high-ranking officials in front of him, but just stopped at the door of the hall. Two men in palace uniforms followed him. Generally speaking, nobles in palace uniforms rarely appeared in front of ordinary people. At this time, two appeared at once, proving that the emperor and royal family members were in the hall.

The old man shouted: "I am the King of Nishiyuanji, please come and see me."

When the officers and soldiers heard the name of Nishizoji, the officers and soldiers finally stopped their actions. Compared with the infamous Meiji heroes, Nishizoji had a much better reputation. The Japanese people and officers and soldiers knew that Nishizoji advocated democracy and constitutionalism, and were not the same as other powerful people.

All the officers stepped forward to salute, "Sir Nishiyuanji, please get out of here. We want to go in."

Nishienji remained unmoved and replied politely: "If you want to go in, either let Ishihara Nakakura see me in the future, or cross my body."

After saying that, Nishiyuan Temple drew a pistol, without any intention of getting out of the way.

Tonight, the revolutionary officers and soldiers have killed too many more brave enemies. Compared with those enemies, even if the old man in his 70s in Xiyuanji took a pistol, it would not pose a threat in the eyes of young revolutionary officers and soldiers.

But out of respect, the officers and soldiers only surrounded the hall but did not rush in. A moment later, a small group of people walked through the ranks of revolutionary officers and soldiers and walked to the front of Xiyuan Temple. Ishihara, the leader, raised his hand to Nishiyuan Temple, saluted, "Your Excellency, I'm here. I ask to enter the hall!"
