All the officials in the Miyamoto shogunate, including the elders of the Miyamoto family, gathered together.
After Yoshihiko Miyamoto became the general, he had resigned from the position of head of the Miyamoto family and handed over the power to Miyamoto Kanon, who was affiliated with his family, allowing Miyamoto Kanon to hold power.
At this moment, Miyamoto Kanon's expression was solemn and he looked very sad.
He glanced at the people present one by one and said seriously: "Everyone, news came back from the palace that the shogun and Miyamoto Taiken were killed. Similarly, the royal family also suffered because of the ambush of the shogun and Miyamoto Taiken. In our revenge, our shogunate soldiers entered the palace and killed the emperor and all the emperor's relatives. Now we are faced with a problem, who will inherit the position of shogun in the shogunate, and who are the candidates in your mind? Speak freely and don't be restrained."
As soon as the words fell, the family members present began to breathe heavily.
The position of shogun represents power, and they also thought of a problem. Now that the emperor has been killed, the emperor's heirs have also been killed. The question that arises is who will succeed the emperor's position. More people The considerations are all the same. The person who inherits the position of general is likely to inherit the position of emperor.
Such a change left no one unmoved.
Rights are at your fingertips.
The leading elders of the Miyamoto family are no longer stable.
"I recommend Miyamoto Takesawa Ken-sama for the post of shogun. Miyamoto Takesawa Ken-sama is the uncle of the current shogun Miyamoto Yoshihiko. He is highly respected, talented and capable. When General Miyamoto Yoshihiko was alive, he also respected the old man very much. I think he is the most suitable person to serve as a general." The speaker was a middle-aged man who strongly recommended Miyamoto Takesawa.
The Miyamoto Takesawa Ken mentioned is an old guy with sparse gray hair and a wrinkled face.
This man almost lost all his teeth.
After hearing this, Miyamoto Takesawa's eyes shone with a burning light, and he suddenly became energetic. He looked at the people around him with a look of expectation in his eyes, hoping that the people around him would support him.
"I object, huh, Miyamoto Takesawa is old and not suitable. We have to select, and naturally we have to select young and capable people. Such people can take on important responsibilities. Everyone, please think carefully and consider the family. Think about the future of our family, not about rights."
The person who stood up to object was a man in a black kimono. He changed the topic and said: "I think Miyamoto Kanon-sama is okay. He is the brother of the current shogun Miyamoto Yoshihiko. He is closely related by blood, and he is The person appointed by the General to take over the position of clan leader is the most suitable person."
"I object. General Miyamoto still has heirs, so why should he appoint another candidate?"
"General Miyamoto's heir is only seven years old. Is he qualified at such an age? When choosing a general, you must choose someone who is young and strong, not just old or young. These are extraordinary times. There are a lot of chaos in the country, and there are many countries abroad. Due to the threat of the army, a child is in the position and is not qualified. Therefore, I think the only way is to select young and capable people."
"I object. Who says old people can't do it? Old people are the best. Only old people have experience and ability."
"Wrong, I think Miyamoto Kanon-sama is the most suitable person to take over. He has outstanding abilities and has been praised by the general many times. He is a person who can inherit and promote the Miyamoto family."
…………
The people present were arguing loudly, with no one giving in to the other.
Everyone was arguing over the position of general, and the hall was filled with noise.
"Report,,."
A loud roar suddenly sounded outside the hall.
After everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then one of them shouted: "Baga, who let you in? Get out, didn't you see that we were discussing something? Get out, or I will kill you."
"Baga, get out."
"You big bastard, get out immediately and don't bother me."
A group of people suddenly concentrated their firepower and yelled and cursed the samurai who came to report the news. The samurai looked at everyone present and blushed, with a helpless expression on his face, and said loudly: "My lords, outside..."
"Shut up, Baga, didn't you hear me telling you to get out?"
When the samurai speaks, don't interrupt.
The warrior took a deep breath and said quickly: "The Qing army surrounded the mansion and is about to attack it."
"ah,,."
In an instant, the chief elders of the Miyamoto shogunate sitting in the hall opened their eyes and opened their mouths wide, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, and a look of hesitation in their eyes. After an instant, everyone began to ask loudly what was going on. What happened was that the samurai outside the door were stunned because the elders in charge in the hall changed too quickly.
The warrior thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on. The Qing army has arrived. Sir, please come up with a countermeasure quickly."
"boom,,."
Suddenly, a loud noise came, and everyone in the hall felt the ground shake.
"kill."
Then, powerful shouts of killing came from outside the house.
Everyone in the Miyamoto shogunate panicked, knowing that something was wrong.
When things have developed to this point, there is no need to say anything. The Qing army must have launched the attack. They did not understand why the shogunate was attacked. At a loss, a group of Qing soldiers had already come to kill them. Zuo Zongtang led his troops to kill them. , said righteously: "The Miyamoto shogunate sent troops to attack the palace. Those who committed rebellion would be killed by all of them."
An order announced the outcome of the shogunate.
All the Qing troops came in and without any explanation, they just shot and killed. Gunshots rang out one after another. Corpses were everywhere where the troops passed. Everyone in the shogunate was shot dead.
Zuo Zongtang already understood Li Zhen's intention through Li Zhen's series of actions.
What Li Zhen wants to do is to subvert Japan.
Now that things have happened, members of the shogunate, the royal family and major families have been killed one after another. Li Zhen is the royal family's consort, and he is completely legitimate in controlling Japan. He admires Li Zhen's plan very much and secretly admires it.
To open up territory and expand territory is to open up territory and expand territory.
He did not let his soldiers go to the front lines to fight in blood, but he has achieved success, which is amazing.
…
After Zeng Guofan quarreled with the foreigners, they could not reach an agreement. Their swords and weapons were facing each other, and they were all ready to open fire. The situation was deadlocked.
Max stared at the Qing soldiers who were waiting in full formation, and then at the soldiers under his command. In the end, he did not give the order to open fire, because the army he led was not the army of the five countries, but just accompanying soldiers. As the saying goes, a good man never suffers immediate losses. The troops of the five countries are still stationed in Nagasaki. If he opens fire, he will definitely be killed.
However, Max was full of unwillingness.
Not long after, the soldiers under Max's command who were looking for information came back. The soldiers stood in front of Max and said respectfully: "Gentlemen, another army of Li Zhen entered the Miyamoto shogunate and killed them all. Everyone in the shogunate, including the Miyamoto shogunate, has been destroyed. The reason why the Qing army killed people was that the shogunate was in rebellion, so they destroyed the shogunate."
"Hard, too cruel."
Carter opened his eyes wide and sighed repeatedly.
