Chapter 174 Coup

"Murdering someone to pay for his life. This is the most principle in the world, you don't need to say more." Wang Fengzao picked up the tea bowl and knocked it gently, which was exactly what it meant to send off the guests. Goshha raised his chest knowingly and shouted in a long tone: "Sending off the guests - it's awkward!"

The two officials who represented the state and local governments, Inuyasu, who were begging the Qing Dynasty's minister, looked at each other helplessly, stood up, bowed respectfully to Wang Fengzao side by side and said: "It's causing trouble for Lord Wang! Goodbye."

"Slow down--" Wang Fengzao paused, looking at the two people who looked happy when they thought things had turned around and said, "Three days, the Qing Empire's patience is only three days. If the murderer is not punished, then the Qing royal army and naval army can exercise the law enforcement power for your country. Okay, don't send people to harass me anymore. This is the meaning of the court. Wang is just conveying it and has no right to be proficient."

After leaving the embassy gate, Heiyama Shoto hit his fist heavily in the carriage, depressedly said, "These damn warriors are really troublesome." He turned his head and bowed to Inukai, "I'm sorry, I'm rude in front of Mr. Inukai." Among the important officials in Tokyo, he was one of the few Okuma sects. Inukai was the introducer of the Japanese Progressive Party who introduced him to join Shigeshinobu Okuma. To a certain extent, Mr. Inukai was his mentor.

Inuyaki sighed heavily, shook his head and indicated that he didn't care. He smiled bitterly and said, "The government sends low-level officials like us to come here, which is obviously to insult us. Three days, we only have three days, Hirayama Jun, do you think we can kill those two bastards within three days? You know, Wang's last meaning is very obvious, he doesn't want to see anyone again."

"Is that true—" Chang Gaoshan was grumbled in surprise: "Mr. Inukai, isn't that just an excuse?"

"He said it was the meaning of the Beijing court. Whether it was Beijing or not, as long as Chinese officials were carried out from the court, there was basically no room for maneuver." Inuyasu downed his head and pondered. The inertia of the carriage started made him lean back involuntarily and breathed comfortably: "Haishan, you haven't answered me yet."

Hirayama Shu's heart sank suddenly and hesitated: "This is probably difficult. Mr. Inukai, you also know that there are many supporters of the two bastards in Tokyo." As he said, he pounded angrily: "These people did not consider the pain the country has endured at all!"

"Hmph!" Inuyasu sneered disdainfully: "Who else will think about Japan now except Teacher Okuma? Those people are busy making money on their own."

The carriage passed through a bustling street, and the geishas on the roadside made seductive greetings from time to time, which seemed very inconsistent with the melodious music of the traditional Japanese samurai. The sad sound of the piano was mixed with one or two provinces of seductive moans, which made people think of it. Inuyasu sniffed, lifted the curtain and said, "See, this scene seems to have not changed for thousands of years."

Shiro Hirayama nodded thoughtfully. Inukai Shin put down the curtain and said, "This is Japan, there is no hope. What can we do?"

"Can you take me to see Prime Minister Ito? Although Prime Minister Ito bears an unprecedented infamy, under such circumstances, it seems that the Chinese will still sell him some face." Hirayama Shu seemed to remember something.

"Prime Minister Ito?" Inuyasu seemed to remember something and rubbed his hands excitedly, "No, we must meet Teacher Okuma first."

Since retiring from the position of Prime Minister, Shigeshinobu Okuma has been living at home, and has almost ignored the world except occasionally meeting with some important cadres in the party and analyzing the current situation. Japan's miserable defeat was as expected. In his opinion, he was a financial expert, Japan did not have the ability to gambling at all, and it was natural to lose. So when it came to Hirofumi Ito signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki to cede land and pay compensation, he had no intention of taking any action against the old politician except for a little sadness. In his opinion, this country has no other way except for the destruction of the country. Of course, there is another way to save the country, but he has been hesitating, so it seems too much...

Although after a failed prime minister term, Shigenobu Okuma had already seen the political tricks of politicians like Hirofumi Ito, and even saw a trace of performance in the emperor's performance before and after the war. However, a traditional Japanese who had received traditional Japanese education, the emperor was a god and the representative of God in the world, thinking that way seemed to make him feel a little ashamed.

Obviously he had forgotten that he had witnessed how the Meiji Emperor ascended the altar.

Today, Inukai’s visit gave him the opportunity to rethink himself and rethink Japan. The opportunities brought by Inukai also seemed to be a good opportunity to regain his political aspiration.

"Since there are three days left, Inukai—" Shigeshino Okuma put on his glasses and said with a humble smile: "You should ask Ito to come forward as soon as possible. He is the head of the government and should be taken care of. Of course, maybe the Chinese are just trying to see him."

"Teacher, you know, Prime Minister Ito no longer has real power." Inuyasu was a little confused about the teacher's idea. After a nearly fooled prime minister's term, the teacher seemed to be much wiser than before.

Shigeon Okuma stood up from the chair and smiled, "He has no real power, he still has face, and of course he has a stinky face. Japan now has only two choices, fighting, or accepting humiliation. Do you think Japan still has the power to fight?" Without waiting for Inuyasu to answer, he continued, "Since you can only accept humiliation, then who is better to come forward? Only Yiteng, anyway, his face has stinky, so let him smell again."

"Is this the teacher's advice?" Inuyangyi asked respectfully.

Shigeshino Okuma shook his head and said, "It's not a suggestion, it's a prediction. You report the matter, Ito will come forward." After saying that, he smiled mysteriously and said, "This may be the last thing he has done in his life. The emperor used him to wipe his butt for the last time, but who will wipe his dirty butt next time?"

"Teacher--" Inuyaki looked at his teacher in surprise. Shigeon Okuma smiled and said, "Go. If I'm right in three days, come and see me."

Inukai Tetsu bowed respectfully and said goodbye. Just as he turned around, he suddenly heard Shigeon Okuma ask: "Inukai, do you think the teacher is old?"

Inexplicably, Inukaichi shook his head in a daze. Okuma Shigeno in his vision was indeed not old. Inukaichi's memory, since he stepped down from the position of Prime Minister, his teacher's spirit has never been as good as he is today.

On the third day, Ito Hiromoto personally invited the Qingguoqin envoy Wang Fengzao, but was rejected. Ito Hiromoto, who was rejected, issued an order to kill two murderers in the accident in a desperate situation. He knew that this was drinking poison to quench thirst, but he also knew that this was the last time he raised his glass in his life.

As the two murderers were executed under the supervision of Qing envoys, the Qing fleet sailed away from Tokyo Bay. Although they did not fire, the entire Tokyo was already in full bloom. Angry crowd began to attack two places: the embassy area where the local police station was responsible for the guarding, and the official residence of Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito.

Amid the scolding of "traitors!", Hirobuki Ito asked to meet the emperor for the last time, but was rejected for the first time. His life came to an end. Instead of like a traditional Japanese samurai, he chose to end his life with a pistol, as if he was using this method to protest against the god-like man in the palace.

The people who attacked the embassy area were strongly dispersed by the military and police. After finally calming down the angry demands of the Qing people, the authorities were unable to face another crisis. Especially near the Chinese embassy, ​​there were embassies of Britain and Germany. If the mobs caused any harm to these two countries, then Japan's fate would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Hirofumi Ito's death of "Japanese rapist" slightly calmed down some of his anger, and the crowd began to gradually evacuate, but it was obvious that any change in things would go in two ways. In the small building opposite the Chinese Embassy, ​​a storm was brewing.

Okatsu Hirotaro, who urgently abandoned all matters from Kyushu Island, was closing his eyes to rest. The senior cadres meeting of the Gengyang Club was being held. Tokuyama Man's voice was very painful: "After the Tokugawa family unified Japan, there were 500,000 unemployed samurai outside the shogunate. The shogunate did not support them, and Japan supported the samurai. At first, there was a community called the All-Shengun Society, which raised the samurai, but was attacked by the shogunate and then split. Today, more than two hundred years later, our Gengyang Club has reached a critical moment of life and death. Now there are two ways, one is the disbandment of the Kengyang Club. Are you willing?"

No one dares to answer such a question.

"The other one is to unify the samurai organization in Japan. We must organize ourselves to support ourselves, not only our Xuanyang Society, but also those outside the society." Speaking of this, Toushanman lowered his head and observed a moment of silence, and looked up and continued: "For example, the Shenjian Pavilion and the Fusang Pavilion. They unfortunately lost their leader. I suggest that Xuanyang Society should be their leader. Do you have any opinions?"

Okara Hirotaro opened his eyes and swept across the audience with a sharp gaze. There was silence.

"Then, I just have no objection." Tooyama Man finally sat cross-legged, ending the pressure he put on everyone's head. He nodded to Okakitaro.

Okara Kotaro coughed gently, attracting the attention of the cadres and said hunchedly: "Since you want to accept the Ksword Hall and Fusang Club, then the two old guys Toyama and Yamadao Chito should enjoy their status. Their deaths will be expressed by the Emperor Yang Club."

"Okara Hiroko--" Okara Hiroko's question immediately aroused rebuttal. Turning back, it was the young generation's leader Tokunaga Ryosaki. Tokunaga, who is known for his arrogant behavior, did not dare to be arrogant in front of Tokuyama-man, but he dared to express his different opinions when Okara Hiroko spoke: "What does this mean is that the Emperor Yangshe wants to go against the government? Although we have no contact with the government, there is no need to challenge them--"

Okakitaro's right eye jumped and a snorted unhappy voice made his face look a little ferocious.

"Government? So what if you challenge them?" Uchida Ryohei saw someone challenging his uncle, and the challenger was equal to his reputation in the new generation and had never been convinced by his Tokunaga. He couldn't help but express his recent judgment: "How long can such a government last? The Emperor Yangshe should have his own actions."

Tokuyōyao laughed and shook his head disdainfully, "It's childish, fortunately you are not the president. Otherwise—"

"Uchida said exactly what I mean-" Tooyama Man interrupted Tokunaga Ryosato and said, "Tokunaga, you are too presumptuous. This is a high-level club meeting, not a place for you to quarrel. Do you know what to do?"

Denatoyongyao shook his body and buried his head deeply. Tooshanman smiled and nodded to the two big men standing at the door. Denatoyongyao, who was facing away from the entrance, suddenly felt a chill behind his head, and raised his head alertly. Before he could turn around, a steel wire had been strangled around his neck, and his breathing became tighter and tighter. After a while, his face turned pale, his legs were kicking away tighter, his eyes were raised, and bright red blood flowed out from the corners of his eyes, mouth, and nostrils.

"Deyong has been colluding with the Chinese people. He has made a lot of contributions to the major losses of the Divine Sword Hall and the Fusang Hall this time." The terrified cadres were still shocked by Deyong's death. A cold voice in Tooshan sounded again: "I deserve the crime of executing him."

Okara Hirotaro nodded and said, "Do you have any objections to the community's next purpose? If not, you will enter the next important agenda."

"I plan to hand over the position of President of the Netherworld to Okara Hokun." Tooyama nodded and said, "Since the Emperor Yang Club needs to undergo a major change, it should have a new atmosphere. Uchida Ryohei has made great contributions to the club recently and can serve as the position of Vice President. If there is no objection, it will be approved."

"Hey--" In the depressing atmosphere, the alternation between the old and the new is almost completed.

This is an important alternation between the old and new in the predecessor of the Black Dragon Society, the former of the Black Dragon Society. Uchida Ryohei gradually gained power after this meeting. There is another important issue at this meeting, which is to complete the task of integrating the Japanese underworld within the next month, and will play an important role in the near future.

Three days later, a grand folk funeral was held on the streets of Tokyo for Toyama and Chito Yamamoto. In order to avoid the recurrence of the last incident of attacking the Yasukuni Shrine, the local government of Tokyo requested the military to intervene to maintain order. The First Guard Division, commanded by Yama Prefecture Atsuto, entered Tokyo and implemented military control. A large number of government and civilians were arrested and many were secretly executed.

Representatives of the First Division Officers Federation entered the palace and held talks with the emperor. The next day, the emperor announced the dissolution of the cabinet and announced the amendment of the constitution this year.

In the official residence of Aritomoto, Japan's Toyama Prefecture, three important figures from the Qianyang Society held a secret lunch with the first person in the military and business circles. The two sides reached an agreement that the Imperial Japanese Army must show its own strength, and this must be based on a firm control of the domestic situation. The Imperial Japanese Army, which has insufficient military strength, needs the assistance of the Imperial Japanese Society. Domestic ideological insolent elements should be firmly controlled. The local system of the Qianyang Society will provide an intelligence source for the military's ideological control.

In return, the military will support the local development of Xuanyangshe. At the same time, the two sides have decided on a joint action plan in the occupied territories. The military will provide Xuanyangshe with necessary equipment and highly trained elite troops to carry out sabotage activities behind enemy lines. All of this is based on the name of Xuanyangshe.

This is a top-secret meeting. Both parties did not form any written documents, but only the trust that both parties need.

The young and strong officers quickly controlled and cleaned the parliament. A new constitution was passed quickly. The new constitution further confirmed the emperor's theocratic status, but restricted the emperor's power. The military was authorized to form a military government, with the Senate Speaker Aritomo Yama Prefecture as prime minister and formed a cabinet of the military government in nature.

The Japanese Army, which was relatively unharmed in the war, was still maintaining its pre-war pride and strong pride and strong strength, was dissatisfied with the government's incompetence to sign a treaty of humiliation. After the military's elder Aritomo Yama Prefecture became prime minister, the military's sentiment was eased. After maintaining Tokyo order for a week, the First Division of the Guards abolished its military control measures against Tokyo, and Tokyo finally returned to its former peace.

After witnessing this drastic change, Okuma Shigenobu was surprised and unbelievably more fearful about his other political enemy, Akito Yama Prefecture. In the first month after the new cabinet came to power, he secretly visited Wang Fengzao after being in charge of Inuyasu. Under the arrangement of the Chinese Embassy, ​​he quickly boarded the Qing fleet that inspected Tokyo Bay and arrived in North Korea soon. He met Yuan Shikai in Seoul. The new Governor of the East China Sea kept him in Seoul for more than ten days. With the sound of firecrackers, he spent the Spring Festival in Seoul.

Yuan Shikai is kind and a good listener. But Shigetsu Okuma knew that this person was not just a fat man who was very close to him as he looked on the surface, because he told him that after dealing with some unpleasant things in North Korea, he would soon move to Shinshu Province - which is what the Japanese call Kyushu Island. Shigetsu Okuma could go back to Tokyo first to integrate the resources he could integrate.

As for Yuan Shikai, he naturally has new plans for how to use the resources on the Japanese island now.

As Yuan Shikai's eyes gradually shift eastward, Japan will enter a new era.
