. Although the urban management team carried out the cleanup and rectification of the blocks in a brutal and violent manner, it was also completed very quickly.

It took only about a quarter of an hour to drive out all the mobile vendors and martial artists who blocked the streets, and also destroyed several rogue shacks in alleys, and stuffed their own pockets and accompanying carts. They were full of them. When all the work was basically completed, they blew the sharp copper whistle. Then they set off to rectify, or to harm the next place.

Seeing the street calm again, Feili naturally started the itinerary he had booked today again and took steps towards the Kuroshima vassal residence. The man who went to the woman's house to give the bride gift, but accidentally threw himself into the empty Mr. Shinichi Mori. He seemed to be idle, so he simply asked his followers to carry the bride gift box and then accompanied Feili and others. He continued to chat along the way, and by the way he also helped the shogunate to fight against the rebellious war of Changzhou. So far, he has been repeatedly hitting walls. If his exiled vassal lord, who had no soldiers and power, would he really need to rely on the military power of the Naserier Empire?

Since Maori Shinichi had this and plans in his mind, the topic he talked about along the way was naturally mostly about this increasingly fierce war in the western part of the island country.

Feiri was also willing to take this opportunity to inquire about the latest information from the other party. Although Maori Shinichi, the lord of the legal throne of the Choshu family and the "symbol of justice" of this war, did not have any real power in the shogunate, at least he could attend most military meetings and see many real war reports that had not been recorded. In comparison, Feiri was not familiar with the place in the Edo Castle area and could only occasionally get some outdated news from Minister Zena, which was unknown to me, so he was naturally quite interested in this.

Of course, it can be seen from this that, like most traditional Eastern countries, the Edo Shogunate has also done a very bad job in intelligence work, and has almost no decent concept of confidentiality.

The various military intelligence sent back from the war zone was actually spoken out casually on the densely crowded streets as if they were treating gossip news."

However, according to what he said, the Edo Shogunate's performance in operations seemed to be even more clumsy than on the intelligence front.

To be fair, the Battle of the Western Expedition to Seizure planned by the Edo Shogunate this time was a slap in the vassal of a slap in which laymen made a decision, a cowardly execution, a conspirator disrupted the situation, and finally everyone could only laugh and cry.

In order to show off the huge strength of the shogunate, the five powerful army that barely pieced together was the five gangs who were completely Dazacha. Before they invaded the Changshu vassal, they had already been defeated by their opponents first. Although the remaining three attack troops finally completed the preliminary formation, their actual performance on the battlefield still made people not only desperate but also desperate.

The 10,000 Northern Army, which was scheduled to attack Shizhoukou from Shimiji Kingdom and entered the Changzhou vassal after basically completing the assembly and supply in early May, finally began to slowly rub the mountain along the mountain, which had long been abandoned by the Changzhou rebels. As a result, they camped at the foot of the empty Shinichi Mountain, and were attacked by about two or three hundred ronin armed forces at night, and immediately led to a commotion in the entire army's bombing camp. More than 300 people died of trampling on each other, and more than 3,000 people fled and disappeared. Therefore, after a quarrel, thousands of remnants had to temporarily stay in Shinichi Mountain, set up civil fortifications to wait for assistance, and sent back a series of snow-covered letters, requesting to increase the number of military pay, ammunition, food and medicine.

The middle army, which was personally commanded by Shin-gun Mitsui Ginji, was scheduled to attack Yishukou from Anyiguo to enter the Choshu family. At present, the war zone camps were established in Hiroshima, but the assembly of subordinate troops was very bad. Even if the 7,000 new shogunate army brought by Mitsui Ginji himself, the planned 40,000 middle army was still mobilized by less than 20,000, and the civilians, arms, and weight were not fully in place, so they could not enter Changzhou on schedule.

With the background of the fact that the Choshu vassal has repeatedly won battles and the Satsuma vassal has stopped its troops, Kinki and the Western vassals are full of doubts about the conscription orders issued by the Edo Shogunate. They almost tried every means to evade the vassal, for fear of being pushed to the front line to take the lead, consumed their own troops, and then stood in the wrong team in the subsequent political game. Therefore, although Yishukou located on the Sanyang Road is the main battlefield, it has not even started a battle.

As for the 10,000 South Army that planned to land at Oshimakou, it seemed even more tragic. Due to the destruction of the shogunate fleet, the Naserel Far East Fleet had not yet arrived at the war zone, the shogunate side lost the sea control power of the entire Hunan Inland Sea. The vassals on the Shikoku Island took the opportunity to use the excuse of uneasy sea routes to capsize the 5,000 conscription quotas under the shogunate. At this point, the southern army had shrunk by half.

But the other half of the Southern Route Army, which has not yet shrunk, is also depressing. In order to gather the five thousand troops, the shogunate gritted the bullet and recruited the three thousand flag-born warriors in the Dazou City, a thousand city management teams, and a thousand private armed forces from various chambers of commerce. But the problem is that these guys have always had deep hatreds, and they often had to fight in front of them, not to mention that they are now fully armed.

As a result, the army was already in constant friction in the assembly area in the suburbs. When they really got on the road, they even fought and walked. Finally, they had just arrived in BeiChina and finally collapsed and paralyzed. The main reason was that the samurai suddenly started a strike in the middle of the journey. They insisted that the shogunate should make up all the wages owed in recent years before continuing to set off on the battlefield.

Although the shogunate has not responded to this, the urban management team and the chamber of commerce have already had several bloody conflicts with the shogunate flag without authorization, and the hatred between the two sides has been completely formed. And the self-disintegration of this southern army is probably inevitable.

,

The frontal battlefield in the attack on Changzhou was indeed a mess, but the situation in the battlefield behind the enemy was also not optimistic.

In order to disrupt the hinterland of the Changzhou rebels, Mitsui Ginji, who was responsible for the supervision of the front line, had a sudden inspiration and forced the Xinsheng Group in Kyoto to allocate several capable personnel. Huo formed a ranger team, trying to bypass the Changzhou defense line from the sea from the sea and sneak into the enemy's back to harass and destroy. Although his idea was good, it was actually a problem of the leak of information from Bai Eryugan. Thirty Rangers fell into the trap as soon as they got ashore. The Erxi circle was beaten by hundreds of Changzhou soldiers with a platoon and several rounds of shotguns. In the end, only five people escaped like water;

Although Mitsui Ginji, who did not believe in evil, continued to stick to his plan and tried to rely on the new selection group to pull up the second group of the rangers again and cause the next smuggling harassment, almost everyone had no hope for this.

On the contrary, the anti-shog patriots who were actively operating in various places caused great interference to the Shogunate crusade and destroyed a series of main cities such as Kyoto, Brigade, Kobe, Hiroshima, etc. under the control of the Shogunate, all of which had terrorist attacks of varying scales. A large number of ronin attacks besieged the government agencies, clashed with bloody conflicts with the garrison, blasted important bridges and docks, and even deliberately set fire to urban buildings. "For a time, the local officials of the Shogunate in these cities were tormented and in a mess. The land supply line leading to the war zone was repeatedly robbed by large groups of militants, and finally had to be escorted with heavy troops. But even so, it could not guarantee the safe arrival of all the heavy convoys.

It was raining all night long. Not only were the rogues who had been dissatisfied with their long-awaited trouble, but even the urban poor who had never been concerned about their affairs were now making a fuss. Because the continuous war has seriously affected their belly problems!

The so-called three armies have not moved, food and grass will take the lead. Tens of thousands of troops mobilized the war, and more than 100,000 civilians finally ran on the road and consumed a lot of food. The land of the Tokyo Island is narrow and the population is dense, so the supply of food was very tight. Although there was no serious famine this year, it was not a good harvest. Therefore, with such a large amount of consumption, the grain market in the Gyeonggi area suddenly became a little short of supply.

If this is the case, then the situation is not too serious. After all, this country has a population of 20 to 30 million. As long as each person eats a few bites of rice every day, the gap can be filled. The problem is that as the war continues to continue, the prestige of the shogunate is almost bankrupt, and after the Satsuma clan, the Kyoto court and other forces gradually intervene, the war is still at risk of expansion. The princes of the western vassals all believed that chaos was coming, and the war would not be on their heads. They must prepare early.

Therefore, the vassal princes and princes pushed the conscription orders of the shogunate in every possible way, and on the other hand, they took out money to buy rice in the market to prevent a full-scale war. Seeing this situation, merchants also tried their best to hoard rice in an attempt to make huge profits. So the rice price was suddenly hyped up, from a pound of men's pound to a pound of Jinwen, and often there was no market price, so they had to queue up to rush to buy.

In this way, the local farmers are fine. They grow and eat by themselves anyway, and they don’t feel panic when they have food at home. But ordinary citizens in the city are in trouble. They originally have no overnight food at home, and they buy rice for a day of wages, so they can only tighten their belts now.

So, the poor in the city watched helplessly as the grain merchants hoarded so much rice. The princes from all over the country were transporting ships of rice into the castle, while their own wives and children were so hungry at home that they were almost hung up as gongs. How could they live this life?

Naturally, these poor people who had no way to survive rose up and scam any guys who could be found at hand, launched a vigorous smashing and looting campaign, besieging granaries, robbing shops, lynching the profiteers, and even attacked the heavy convoys of the Shogunate Army. In order to extinguish the fire that was ignited in their backyard as soon as possible, Mitsui Ginji, who was in the Hiroshima camp, even had to transfer some of the new shogunate troops from the front line and go to major cities in the rear to suppress the increasingly fierce terrifying riots.

Therefore, the battle against Choshu, which was promoted by the Edo shogunate, not only failed to reshape the absolute authority of the shogunate as expected, through a clean and neat victory, but instead shot himself in the foot, exposing all the serious diseases under his glamorous outer robes to the world without any concealment."

Of course, all these unprecedented chaos are basically limited to the Kansai area close to the war zone. Therefore, although Edo Castle, far away at the eastern end of the island country, is now in a depressed state due to the ongoing war, it is still generally maintaining a stable situation as before.

In the past half month, the only good news the shogunate has received is probably the latest whereabouts of Admiral Perry.”

Shinichi Mori shrugged helplessly and said to Feiri with a wry smile. Although he had unfortunately encountered a typhoon when he had just sailed from the Yokohama Concession, he was overturned by three ships, killing more than 200 soldiers, and was blown far away from the main route by the strong wind. But not long afterwards, Admiral Perry successfully gathered all the remaining warships and arrived at the brigade port very smoothly. Although the warships alone could not land on land to eliminate the rebellion, at least the shogunate had hope to regain the sea control power of the Tsudo Inland Sea."

This is really great news

Feili nodded and admitted that otherwise, if Admiral Perry was unfortunately killed, then the Naserel Far East Army was in danger of internal strife. As soon as the news broke with Admiral Perry, a sneaky guy had made a special visit in the past few days to try to inquire about the words of Minister Zena and I! Alas, although Ms. Zena always had an official voice in front of others, she was extremely worried about it in private. Fortunately, now, "uh? What are the things that were moving in the air in the opposite alley?"

He suddenly stopped talking in extreme surprise and reached out to a dark alley ahead to point to God, I could even feel that there was a very strange energy in these messy things that were active in intense activity.

Maori Shinichi and Shizumizu Youhu looked at each other in confusion and nervousness, then followed Feili's fingers and looked in that direction," and then breathed very easily. Several pots, buckets, pots, pots, and combs with quite old appearances were floating out of the depths of the alley. Then, amid the barking of several wild dogs on the street, they trembled and quickly made a circle, and walked back to the original broken alley.

This is the god of our country! Of course, it is just the lowest level of Fu Hang God.”

After a rough glance, Maori Shinichi replied disapprovingly. However, Feili was immediately shocked.
Chapter completed!
