"His Excellency, General Yokosuka Samashima Junjima was urgently sent to find the Chinese Navy fleet outside Tokyo Bay. Now the Chinese Navy has begun to attack the coastal defense fortification of Uraga Waterway. It seems that he is intending to break into Tokyo Bay!"
The naval staff rushed into the Navy Minister Saigo Congdao's home. Because it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, Saigo Congdao had not yet gone to the Navy to work. After receiving a telegram from Major General Sushima Jungui
, he had to rush to Congdao's home in Xixiang to report the situation.
At this time, Saigo Congdao had just had breakfast and was preparing before work. As a Japanese Navy Minister and one of the five ministers in the cabinet, Saigo Congdao still attaches great importance to his appearance, so he goes to work every time he goes to work.
He had to dress up carefully before. However, the emergency battle report of the Chinese Navy attack made him lose this idea. He grabbed the telegram and quickly browsed it, and his face turned pale.
"Send a report to General Sushima, asking him to guard the Uraga waterway no matter what, and not allow the Chinese Navy to rush into Tokyo Bay!" Saigo Koto ordered sternly. Although he knew that the possibility was very small,
The purpose of the Chinese Navy is obviously because Hirobuki Ito rejected the peace talks proposed by China yesterday. It seems that if Japan does not bow its head this time, it will be difficult for them to get better.
"Yes, Lord Hai Prime Minister!" The naval staff immediately took the order, and then rushed back to the Navy headquarters.
"Come here, prepare a carriage immediately and go to the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor. At the same time, the ruler of Lu Prime Minister Dashan Iwa, and the Tibetan Prime Minister Lord Watanabe Kwobu also rushed to the palace." Saigo Congdao did not care about tidying up his instruments and immediately said one after another.
The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister are both in Beijing, and no one makes a decision. The Emperor can only make the final decision.
"Yes, lord!" The guards in Xixiang Mansion immediately became busy. Some prepared carriages, while others rode horses to inform Lu Xiang and Zang Xiang.
It was only 8 o'clock in the morning when Saigo rushed to the palace from the road, and at this time, the Chinese Navy's attack on the Uraga Waterway had begun. Tokyo and Uraga Waterway were dozens of kilometers away, but at this time Saigo
It seemed as if he had heard the rumbling sound of shelling from the Tao. This made him feel very heavy. It was the incompetence of the navy that caused the empire to fall into such a situation!
Saigo came to the palace gate. The guards knew about it and were going to report to the Minister of Internal Affairs and asked Saigo to wait outside for a while. At this time, Lu Prime Minister Dashan Iwa and Tibetan Prime Minister Watanabe Guoyou were both
Arrived.
"Sigo Jun, what happened?" Watanabe Kunotake asked. After receiving the notification from the people from Saigo Prefecture, he rushed over immediately. Oyama Iwaki also looked at Saigo following the way, but because of Lu
During the Navy's conflict, the relationship between the two was very bad, and he did not take the initiative to ask.
"We rejected the conditions in China yesterday. Now, China has taken action. The Chinese navy is outside Tokyo Bay and is now attacking the Uraga Waterway. It is probably trying to attack Tokyo Bay." Saigo
Congdao said with a dejected look on his face.
"What? The Chinese Navy is coming? Can we resist it?" Tibetan prime minister Watanabe Kyutake and Lu prime minister Dashan Iwa exclaimed. This is a big deal! If the Chinese Navy breaks into Tokyo Bay,
Then the entire Tokyo would probably have to be ruined under the giant cannon of the Chinese Navy! Especially the Emperor is still in Tokyo. If the Chinese Navy shells the palace, it would be an extremely serious turmoil for Japan.
! Therefore, no matter what, we have to guard the Uraga waterway and block the Chinese Navy from outside Tokyo Bay.
"Most of the shore defense cannons on the Uraga Waterway are old, and the Chinese Navy has strong ships and cannons, so it is probably difficult to resist!" Saigo Congdao said.
Watanabe Kyutake and Oyama Iwata both had pale faces. They seemed to have seen Tokyo turn into a sea of fire under the shelling of the Chinese Navy. And those who lost the battle and caused Japan to suffer such a disaster, undoubtedly
It’s the sinner of the whole of Japan!
At this time, the Minister of Internal Affairs Inoue Kin rushed over. "A few, are you going to be in a hurry to meet His Majesty the Emperor so early? His Majesty the Emperor is having breakfast with the Queen!" Inoue Kin said.
"Kun Inoue, the matter is urgent. We need to meet His Majesty the Emperor immediately! The Chinese navy is coming and is currently attacking Uragua Waterway!" Saigo Congdao said quickly.
"What? Is this happening? Come with me, I'll wait for you to see His Majesty the Emperor!" Inoue Kin also knew that this was a huge matter and had to deal with it carefully.
The group hurried into the main hall of the palace. After Inoue Xin brought them here, she went to invite Emperor Meiji. Saigo Congdao and others waited in the main hall for more than half an hour, Emperor Meiji
He just appeared. Moreover, Emperor Meiji was in a very bad spirit, his face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. Moreover, there was a raging anger in his eyes, which made Saigo Congdao and others feel panic in his heart.
.It seems that Inoue Kin has already told Emperor Meiji about why they came to see the Emperor.
"Keep to the Emperor!" Saigo Congdao, Oyama Iwa and Watanabe Kyuto knelt on the ground to salute Emperor Meiji.
"Get up!" Emperor Meiji said coldly. After the few people knelt down, they knew that the emperor's eyes were like falcons, circling on them, making everyone feel under great pressure.
"I just ask you one thing, can you resist the Chinese Navy from the Uraga Waterway? If not, can you stop the Chinese Navy from attacking Tokyo?" Emperor Meiji asked sternly.
"Your Majesty, I'm incompetent! The shore defense cannons on the Uraga Waterway are old, and it may be difficult to stop the Navy from entering Tokyo Bay!" Saigo Congdao said quickly. Now, he dare not speak loudly, he can only do so.
To be honest, if he boasts about Haikou but is invaded by the Chinese Navy, he will be responsible at that time.
"Baste! The empire spent so much money to support the navy. Until now, not only can't defeat the Chinese navy, but it can't even protect the capital. What's the use of using you?" Emperor Meiji was furious. Before, the joint fleet was wiped out, he had been
I was enduring my anger. Now that the Chinese Navy has been hit by the door, even the capital is about to be out of order. How could he not be angry?
"I deserve to die!" Saigo Congdao had no choice.
"What about the army? Can the army resist the attack of the Chinese?" asked Emperor Meiji.
"Go back to Your Majesty. The Guards Division is ready, and the other troops are also advancing eastward. If the Chinese dare to land, they will definitely not return!" Dashanyan replied immediately. He knew,
The Chinese Navy does not need to land at all. Even if it only uses naval guns, it is enough to turn Tokyo into ruins, and there is no need to take risks to land at all. Therefore, Dashanyan dared to answer so affirmatively.
"Yeah!" Emperor Meiji seemed very satisfied with Oyama Iwa's answer.
At this time, a guard walked in, said a few words in Inoue Xin's ear, and then immediately retreated. However, Inoue Xin's face had changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, just got the news that the Chinese Army launched a fierce attack on the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula. The army that lost its supplies could not resist the attack of the Chinese people. The army was about to collapse. In addition, just now, the Chinese Navy was in the middle of the day.
The forts on both sides of the Uraga waterway have been destroyed and entered Tokyo Bay. Now an attack on Yokosuka Naval Base is being launched. Major General Sushima Junji called and said that they could no longer resist the attack of the Chinese Navy!" Inoue Xin looked pale
Said.
"Waste! They are all waste!" Emperor Meiji was furious.
Inoue Xin, Saigo Congdao, Oyama Iwa, and Watanabe Kyutake all knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Chinese Navy is about to launch a shelling on Tokyo. Please leave Tokyo immediately!" Inoue Xin said quickly. If the Chinese Navy shells the Japanese Palace, then Emperor Meiji will be in danger.
"I don't leave, I want to stay and live and die with Tokyo!" Emperor Meiji said stubbornly. It is impossible to let him escape from Tokyo like a deserter.
"Your Majesty, your comfort is related to the future of the Great Japanese Empire. Please also ask Your Majesty to tour Kyoto!" Watanabe Kiyoto also persuaded.
"No need, as long as you guard Tokyo, I will be very safe!" Emperor Meiji was completely inactive.
Everyone had no choice but to let Emperor Meiji stay in Tokyo. They immediately rushed to arrange Tokyo's defense. Although they thought the Chinese Navy would not land, it was very difficult to say. If the Chinese Navy landed, they had to resist it.
Only stay here!
At 3 pm, after turning Yokosuka Naval Base into ruins, the Chinese Navy marched towards Tokyo. Along the way, all the merchant ships encountered were captured and all the fishing boats were sunk, causing panic in Tokyo Bay. Many well-informed people even
The whole family has moved.
"Commander, that is Tokyo, the capital of Japan. What should I do? Give orders!" Fleet Chief of Staff Li Dingxin said excitedly. This is Tokyo, the capital of Japan! But at this moment, Tokyo seems to have been stripped of clothes.
The beauty is no longer guarded against the Chinese Navy.
"Didn't the general tell me to use special shells? Since that's the case, then fire the cannon!" Deng Shichang said with a smile.
At 3:00 p.m., the Chinese Navy's shelling began. Four battleships and four heavy cruisers launched shelling on Tokyo. This time, all of them used high-explosive bombs with phosphorus powder added. This made Tokyo,
In a panic.
"Boom!" A shell exploded in a residential area in Tokyo, and flames shot up, covering people and houses within a diameter of 100 meters. The wooden house was immediately ignited and burned with the help of the wind.
The few Japanese were also covered with flames. They slapped desperately, but they had no use at all. They could only make heart-wrenching screams, just like howling before a beast died. The child and the woman's crying
The sound lingers over Tokyo, as if the whole city is crying.
