"Following me has no effect." Levi replied without hesitation.
He has no interest in saving Fusang in this era, and feels that there is no need to save it here.
In fact, when the idea of "repelling the foreigners" was proposed, it was enough to represent the spirit of everyone here in this era.
The inherently extreme bushido spirit, coupled with the anti-foreign thoughts, constantly intensified conflicts. Moreover, there were far more people fleeing than the native people because of the fanaticism of the converts.
Step by step, walk into the abyss.
The reason is that when the black ship Mayflower broke through the gate of Edo and when foreigners began to act recklessly in this land, such a future was already foreseeable.
Going deeper into the reason, the seclusion of the country during the Edo period and the Tokugawa family's old tortoise mentality led to poverty and weakness, which allowed the Black Ship Mayflower to break through the door so easily.
At this time, the island country was so similar to the mainland across the sea, but it took a completely different path.
This is the inertia of the times. Unless absolute power is used to overwhelm everyone, Levi feels that the inertia of history will still completely crush all those who are trying to block the trend, including the Shinsengumi, including those who have betrayed the reformists.
Heshang Yanzhai.
"Mr. Li Wei, in the future you showed me, I also learned about a man named Charles de Gaulle." Kawagami Yanzhai knelt on the ground, staring at Li Wei with his pupils that shed tears of blood.
Levi was a little stunned.
De Gaulle, the president of Free France, surrendered to Mustache after Vichy France held out for dozens of days at the second station, becoming Mustache's hot weapon. Only De Gaulle refused to surrender.
He took his last cronies and went to the African colonies to establish Free France, and continued to resist the spicy chips tenaciously in the desert.
He is known as the last man in France, and it is also the direct reason why France became a victorious country after the victory of the Allies and later became the Five Permanent People's Committee. It can be said that France was the last backbone and the last man of that era.
Fran may be a coward, but de Gaulle is definitely Fran's last glory after the Saint and the Little Man.
"Do you want to be de Gaulle?" Levi suddenly became very interested.
"No, I'm not worthy. I know that such a future cannot be changed by me alone. I only hope that I can cultivate and protect a man similar to France de Gaulle." Kawagami Hikosai's eyes
It is full of determination.
"Have you found your target?"
"There is a candidate who will not be born forty-two years, and I will live until that time, and then tell him all this with my own hands, and let him become the final backbone like General de Gaulle..."
Kawagami Yanzhai buried his head deeply, knocked on the ground, and said: "But now I will never be able to train a General de Gaulle, so I will follow you and witness everything."
His gaze was so firm that even Souji Okita and George on the side were stunned.
Even though Okita Souji saw the future, he always only cared about the Shinsengumi and the people around him. As for De Gaulle who was far away in France, he didn't understand at all in the illusion.
As for George, his DNA just moved. As a child, he felt uncomfortable hearing any kind words from Frank.
Li Wei also smiled. He suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with his contact with Battousai during this period. Even Li Wei couldn't help but feel refreshed by his thoughts.
France, a country that treats raising hands as a military salute, when this country is about to decline to the extreme, a strong man will always come from the sky to save it. Whether it is Joan of Arc, the dwarf, or de Gaulle,
This is all true.
He saw something called "pattern" in Hegami Yanzhai.
"Then you have to know that when you embark on this road, you will be like the withered cherry blossoms. It is a road that will almost certainly touch the interests of everyone, and it is a road with no chance of death. You still have to go on it.
Going this way?" Levi continued to ask.
"Only death."
"To be honest, I really want to see you train a de Gaulle one day." Levi smiled. For the first time, he saw something that really made him feel passionate again, "Then come on.
"
However, he can only stay in this world for more than twenty days at most.
"Woo!" The horn sounded, everyone started to move, and the rest time was over.
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Lord Levi. Goodbye, executioner Battosai. If there is a chance, let's have another showdown." Finally, Souji Okita said to Kawakami Hikosai.
In the end, he still believed that he was the strongest swordsman of this era, and looked at Kawagami Hikosai full of fighting spirit.
However, everyone ran out of time. He turned around, and behind him the Shinsengumi's "Sincerity" on a blue background and white clouds shone brightly in the firelight.
The end of the reformists is coming. Tomorrow morning, they will launch a surprise attack on Kyoto!
…
At this time in Kyoto, the great political power had just ended, and the emperor, who had been a puppet for who knows how many years, suddenly had a lot of power in his hands, but he didn't know how to use these powers.
Maybe even because of the sudden power, he actually found it more troublesome.
So naturally he didn't mind the trouble, and the emperor also delegated a lot of power to a few trustworthy people who could let him have all this. One of them was named Ito Hirobumi, and the other was named Saionji Konobo.
With his IQ, he never even thought that he might cultivate a more terrifying powerful minister until later, he gave him to a powerful minister under the constitutional monarchy.
At least now, he felt unparalleled happiness and freedom, as free as a caged bird spreading its wings and flying high.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Kansai Sabaku faction seems to be making some moves. To be on the safe side, let's rush back to Edo tonight." The reformers warned.
"Come back overnight? I've been a caged bird all my life. Now that I'm finally free, I can't enjoy it in Kyoto? Do I have to go back to that rotten fishing village in Edo?" the drunken emperor shouted in displeasure.
This made the dancing geishas stop dancing one after another and stand trembling in place.
The reformers did not dare to make mistakes. Now, the power of the reformers was like the eunuchs of the ancient mainland, almost relying on the support of the emperor.
Because the plan to steal the country has not been completely successful, and a lot of power still belongs to the emperor, so at least for now, he still has to pamper this waste.
Emperor Koji then slammed his wine glass to the ground and said to the geishas who stopped dancing: "Why are you stopping? Do you want me to reward you and become the playthings of foreigners? Then play music,
Dance on!"
The geishas continued to dance in fear.
At this time, the reformers also bowed and said goodbye and left. They knew that the emperor was now hopeless, so they had to prepare for the worst.
Then use the most poisonous plan.
We must not let anyone from the Samu faction get the emperor!
The Emperor indulged himself until the evening. Surrounded by wine and debauchery, he felt an indescribable power and happiness to this day.
In the past, he was like a puppet under the shogun's captivity. The shogun could even enter and leave his harem at will. Even his descendants didn't know whether it was his own, and they didn't dare to speak loudly.
The so-called emperor only has a false aura compared to a captive domestic animal, and even because of that false aura, the humiliation he endured was a hundred times greater.
But now, who dares to touch him? Who dares to kill him?
He just felt that this was the happiest day in his life.
Until, in the early morning of this day, the city gates of Kyoto opened wide.
Nearly a thousand Samu faction armed with foreign guns and cannons completely stormed into Kyoto, killing all the original guards here.
The guards in Kyoto basically only wear samurai swords, at most some pistols and Jumonji spears. Facing the Lee Enfield bolt-action rifle with a bayonet, they instantly awakened the black ship Mayflower more than ten years ago.
The memory of blasting open the gates of Edo.
Rows of Lee Enfields seemed to be queuing up to be shot, instantly overthrowing a large number of guarding warriors, and the reformers who came to support were shot to pieces by bolt-action rifles at the moment of the encounter.
They had no choice but to send messages frantically, asking all the reformers around Kyoto to rush to Kyoto for support.
"Gun in hand, follow me and kill the barbarian dogs! This is the Shinsengumi!" A loud shout came.
Everyone was aware of the attackers, the Shinsengumi. All of them had their names written in blood on strips of cloth above their heads, and carried several guns on their backs.
The entire army of nearly a thousand people, led by the Shinsengumi, was like a sharp knife, rushing straight into the Emperor's Palace.
The shouts of killing shook the sky, the smoke filled the air, the city was on fire, and the blood flowed like rivers.
Every time a round of gunfire rang out, people fell down. Not only those from the anti-barbarian reformers, but also people from the Shinsengumi were shot and fell to the ground.
But now, they don't even care about their comrades who were shot, and let the people behind them trample them. Their only target is the Emperor in the Emperor's Palace.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing continued to be heard.
Soon, the people who were guarding the emperor organized a resistance after they came to their senses. They also took out rows of foreign guns and began to hide behind bunkers and shoot.
"First Squadron, fire!" the leading general shouted.
The foreign gun team also fired in unison, and many of the charging Sabachi soldiers and even the Shinsengumi samurai fell to the ground, and were directly submerged in the subsequent stampede.
"Pfft!" Suddenly a knife stabbed as fast as light and pierced the general's heart directly.
This is Okita Souji, he did not charge with the Shinsengumi, but became a hunter in the shadows, killing the enemy in an instant by relying on his shrunken steps and the nameless three consecutive thrusts.
The strongest swordsman at the end of the shogunate, Souji Okita, the piercing magic sword!
He shook off the blood on the knife and instantly pulled out the revolver from the general's waist. He held the gun in his right hand and manually controlled the trigger with his left hand.
The nameless six-gun!
He drew his gun and fired in an instant. He was also good at revolver Iaijutsu. In just one second, before the warriors behind the bunker could react, six rounds of revolvers directly killed five warriors.
.
Then the revolver in his hand was thrown out like a boomerang, hitting the face of a warrior who was charging towards him with a bayonet, and his facial features were almost dented.
He didn't even look back. The straight sword in his hand was held across his chest, and he once again used the sword skill that he was most proud of.
One step to surpass the sound, two steps to be seamless, three steps to make a perfect sword!
Nameless three-stage suddenness!
Three heads rose into the sky, and the face of this beautiful young man was covered in blood, like an evil ghost.
He cut off the Sabaku faction's flag with one slash and shouted: "Come in, Captain of the Shinsengumi 1st Squadron, Chief Okita!"
"Ho ho ho!"
"kill!"
The Shinsengumi's morale was greatly boosted. They crossed here and continued to rush towards the Emperor's Palace.
Souji Okita kept coughing. He took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. The blood instantly turned the handkerchief red.
The smoke of the battlefield, the lack of oxygen in the Kyoto fire, and the careless yelling just now were all the causes of his current tuberculosis attack.
This time he took three times the dose of the special medicine, and then he felt a little better and pulled out his knife again.
His sword broke before when he was fighting Kawagami Hikosai. The current sword is a famous sword called "Kiku Ichimonji". However, as it is now, no matter how sharp the famous sword is, it is not as sharp as a foreign spear.
He carved the words "Those flowers and water across the darkness" on the knife here.
You may also know that maybe this is the last battle.
He casually pulled out a revolver from a corpse and checked the bullet chamber. There were still five bullets, which was enough.
Shaking off the blood on Kikuichi's character, he sheathed his sword and rushed into the Emperor's Palace closely behind him.
Although he is terminally ill, his sword is still sharp.
He did not walk the road to death alone.
"Reformers! Do you have enough ammunition reserves?" He shouted, completely ignoring the impact of consumption, and rushed into the Emperor's Palace.
…
"His Majesty the Emperor, this is no good, no, no, no, no, we are coming to kill you!" someone shouted hurriedly.
At this time, the emperor was hungover from last night and woke up surrounded by the soft bodies of countless geishas on the bed. He was completely confused.
"What's wrong? What happened?" the emperor asked.
"Come to kill! Come to kill!"
"Who came here to kill? Foreigners? Or Daqing?"
"The Zuomu faction, the Zuomu faction is coming to kill us!"
"Nani!"
The emperor was half sober from his wine. He pushed the geisha away from him and hurriedly dressed to escape.
But suddenly, he was stabbed in the back, piercing his heart directly.
"you……"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the development of the Restoration, please be loyal to this country." A voice sounded from behind.
The Emperor fell to the ground with a plop. He had just woken up from a hangover and impa, and he didn't even know who killed him.
"Ah!" the geishas screamed.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
But with the louder gunfire, the geishas who slept with the emperor yesterday were like cherry blossoms falling into the soil under the gunfire.
The killing of the reformers completed everything. In fact, they had secretly supported the son of the current emperor and even named the country "Meiji". It was time for the current emperor to exert his final value for the cause of the reform.
He took out gasoline and poured it on the corpses of the geisha and the emperor, and then lit a fire. The flames instantly ignited the entire emperor's palace.
"For the new government, for the Meiji Restoration! Hahahahahaha!" He laughed, rushed into the fire, and burned together with the emperor and his geishas.
