.The urban combat of regular troops is usually not suspenseful from a military perspective just to dispatch a regular army.

Unless the morale of the anti-riot troops is shaken, or the troops are invested too little, or they are disturbed and constrained by the upper class, as long as they are harsh and killed, no matter how tough the mob is, no matter how fierce the army is, it is not the opponent of the army.

At this moment, although Feiri mobilized the troops under his command to the greatest extent, and Mitsui Ryuki mobilized all the urban management team members and chamber of commerce as much as possible. Even the envoy of Minister Zena sent a team of police officers from the concession to cheer, but after deducting the necessary left-behind personnel, the total force of the total number of troops to go to Edo Castle to launch a suppression operation was still only five or six thousand.

However, the turbulent troublemakers gathered in the square are at least 20,000 to 30,000! What’s worse is that they are not the kind of unarmed civilians, but professional warriors who can legally wear swords and other weapons, and have just robbed several shopping streets!

Feili believes that in the theory of the mountain, this cannot be said to be a citizen riot in the usual sense, but should be regarded as an even more terrifying mutiny. However, this inference made purely from paper is simply vulnerable to reality.

Accompanied by the sound of war trumpets, soldiers of the Giant Bear Legion, several urban management team members, chamber of commerce thugs and other miscellaneous armed personnel gathered together, taking a somewhat messy pace, emerged from the streets leading to the square, and formed a loose encirclement with colleagues who broke out from Edo Castle, and soon surrounded tens of thousands of demonstration flags like headless flies.

Under the guidance of some experienced old urban management, they generally lined up in groups of five people in a horizontal row. Each of them held a huge hardwood tower shield reinforced with copper skin. There were three iron rings on both sides of the shield, and they were connected with iron chains to form a rather solid shield wall. Then, using the upper and gaps of the shield to set up spears, long swords, shotguns and other weapons. The standard equipment of the urban counter-riot combat troops. The protesters slowly squeezed up from all directions, narrowing the encirclement little by little. They tried to annihilate all the rioters.

If it is in a field battle at the position, this kind of shield wall that has long been outdated will usually appear clumsy and slow to move, and will easily be broken and crushed by artillery fire. However, the so-called warriors gathered in the square at this moment, they are just some cowards who are slutty and ruthless. How could there be such heavy weapons of mass destruction? They would not have the spirit of sacrificing themselves with explosives!

Therefore, facing the shield wall slowly coming from various streets, the flag-born warriors who were "noble in blood" were frightened at the first time, and they didn't know how to resist at all. They only knew that they were rushing back step by step. Occasionally, a few "warriors" learned the plot in drama and storytelling. They roared and raised their samurai swords and rushed over desperately, and they decided to be difficult to split the solid shield wall. Instead, they stabbed many blood holes in the sword and gun behind the shield, or even more unlucky. They were knocked over by a shotgun from a distance.

Seeing that this was not good, some of them took out muskets and shot at the shield wall, trying to open a passage. However, after hitting, the surface of the shield wall was flashed with red light, and the bullets were blocked without any injuries. These shields were all blessed with bulletproof spells. Without Misilian Magic Breaking Bullets and Special Sniper Rings, you would not be able to easily break them.

On the contrary, seeing that the opponent dared to shoot with firearms, the suppression troops finally became completely furious and completely abandoned the last trace of restraint. More than a dozen cannons on the outer wall of Edo Castle roared one after another. Large areas of hot iron sand were shot out, and they immediately aroused blood and wailing. Although these cannons were all antiques of a long time, their structure, performance and range were very bad, and they were usually only used to fire a few salutes, but they were still very lethal to bombard unprotected people who were only dozens of steps away.

The cannon fire roared, the shotguns splattered, the blood spilled, and the sarcasm sounded everywhere.

Although the shelling at the top of the city only went silent for one round, most of the demonstrators had lost the courage to continue to resist.

These "Edoza" who only knew how to spend hereditary salary to eat, drink, bet and gamble in the market. They lived a wandering life of "wine and drunk today" in the market. At most, they showed "braveness" through tavern fights. When did the "Edoza" who had seen such cruel bloody killings?

The surging fighting spirit aroused by the courage and glory of our ancestors and the embarrassing livelihoods of this embarrassing livelihood was instantly extinguished by the cold reality, leaving only endless fear and regret. Although most of them still hold sharp swords in their violent trembling hands, they could no longer have the idea of ​​fighting in their cold hearts.

Disheartened, some of the people on the edge of the encirclement began to look for loopholes in the blockade line. Trying to escape alone. Now that all the streets have been blocked by the shield walls of the suppression troops, they directly slid open the windows, or climbed over the low courtyard walls of the residential buildings, then walked through the back door of the house and sneaked out of the encirclement. After confirming that there was no danger, they sighed and fled with their heads in their arms.

But there are more unlucky guys who are in front of the shield wall or at the core of the crowd, but are completely blocked by the suppression troops and their crowded companions around them. They can only pass step by step in the shrinking encirclement.

In less than half an hour, the encirclement of the suppression troops had already shrunk near the moat. Thousands of warriors were forced to crowd in this narrow field, shoulder-to-shoulder and feet. They could not move at all, but facing the countless black muzzles and sharp sharp blades around them, they could not have the courage to resist. They were so embarrassed that they were extremely embarrassed for a moment.

Even the leaders who deliberately wanted to incite trouble to make trouble were panic when they saw the shogunate being ruthlessly moved, and faced with such a dilemma of no way forward and retreat, they were panicked.

Say life, don't kill me. Don't kill me, I'll stop doing it!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded in the crowd, and then a middle-aged man squeezed out hard. He cried and stumbled towards the shield wall blockade line. His knees softened and knelt down like pounding garlic, "The villain is innocent! The villain never intended to oppose the shogunate, but he was accidentally deceived by a traitor and asked all the old men to spare their lives."

And behind him, there was a sudden burst of angry curses and begging for surrender.

"Kumada! It was obvious that you, a bastard, were tempting each other from door to door, and they were tempted to make trouble together. Why did you cry for a while but you pushed it clean again? Are you a little good at all?

"Yes, yes, it's because I heard you that my brother was cut off one arm just now!"          You, Kumada, you big bastard! I just said that I was going to be one of my head and one of my head. I tricked me and my brothers to rush forward and fight to the death, causing me to stab me several times. If it weren't for the soft armor protection, I would almost die. "Why did you take the lead in giving in now? Let's see how I beat you to death!"

"Don't do it anymore! I won't do it anymore! I'm only twenty years old and I haven't even asked for my wife. I don't want to die yet! Liangya, Zangma, let's throw the knife down and surrender too!"

"Oh, it hurts so much. Who will save me? Bandage me. The blood on my thighs can't be stopped."

"All the soldiers, okay! Because everyone is Edo, let's spare our lives!"

"My gentlemen, I want to report it, I want to expose it! This guy just came back from the Western Kingdom a while ago and showed off that he had joined the noble man and wanted us to follow him, so he must have surrendered to the spy of the anti-strait faction."

"Hey, don't push me! Junyi, I'm also making a report, I'm going to reveal that it was the vassals of Mito who paid for us to make trouble. We also want to make things bigger, the better. It's better to set fire to a few streets and towns.

With a crackling sound, various samurai swords and muskets were thrown all over the floor. I don’t know how many people shouted together. Various sounds intertwined in the air, and finally condensed into a deafening reverb.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of people knelt on the ground and begged for surrender, and they looked like they were slaughtered. Among them, they kowtowed to beg for mercy, cried bitterly, and exposed each other. In order to reduce their guilt, almost all of them were begging for mercy and scolding each other in the enclave, revealing a large number of contradictory so-called "behind-the-scenes conspiracies" that made people's scalp numb.

In the end, only a few young men with inflexible minds were left, and they were still standing in the middle of the body at a loss, with red and white on their faces so embarrassing.

In any case, all resistance actions in the square have ended.

Next, as long as the suppression troops confiscate their weapons, tie them up with ropes, and throw them into a string of 20 people, throw them in the corner and do not talk or move around, they can declare that the task is completed.

Feili, who thought there would be a hard fight, was so surprised that she almost dropped her chin when she saw this.

Only, this has killed less than a hundred people, and there are still tens of thousands of cowards, and they surrender so easily?! This is the Japanese warrior known for his loyalty, righteousness and courage in Western legends, and he always swings his sword to cut his stomach?!"

"As long as you make up for the determination to solve the problem by force, this is so easy!"

Mitsui Ryuki, who was flying beside him, was very calm and did not look surprised at this, "Who do you think the guys below are? The seven samurai who fought unparalleledly until the last one arrived in the legendary story? Or is the 40th Akameng who died for his lord in "Loyal Minister Tsang" called "Good Man"? Bah! They are just a bunch of selfish rogues who settled down!

Think about it, since they are hereditary samurai warriors, but they do not have the intention of serving their loyalty in the shogunate, and only know how to desperately demand benefits for themselves, so how can they have the samurai demeanor of sino who commits life and death?

Hum, in the hearts of these "Edozai, compared with the illusory Bushido, they are mostly "young love and female body soybeans" more attractive! Oh, in addition, there are drugs such as opium and marijuana, which seem to be becoming more and more popular in recent years.

This kind of debauchery and depravity in life is really corrupt."

Feili couldn't help but rub her forehead. He didn't know that any regime and organization in this world would gradually corrupt and fall if it lasted for too long. And now these warriors who grew up in the peaceful world and had never used swords and guns for hundreds of years naturally could not be compared with their mighty ancestors who fought out from the bloody storm.

In fact, if it were not for the "80,000 Flag Books" that were the pillars of the shogunate, Admiral Perry, who had been on an expedition alone, would not have been able to easily blast the closed gates of the Edo Shogunate so easily. This land was included in the sphere of influence of the Naseril Empire.

But "I still feel a little shattered.

He sighed and looked back, but was stunned to notice that there was a hint of loneliness and confusion deep in the corner of Mitsui Ryuki's eyes.

After all, Bushido is the signature specialty of this country in recent centuries, and the collapse of the samurai spirit also means the decline of the country.

At least, before a new force successfully seized the samurai rule and replaced it, the appearance of the samurai class represented the overall appearance of the country. The external image of a semi-colonial country was always not very healthy.

"Major General Taylor, do you know why I would not spoil money to win over these guys and take them as minions, but instead I am determined to eliminate and depose them? On the one hand, it is because the quality of these flag-based warriors is not good, but this can be compensated by hard practice. Now these vicious urban management team members were just untouched before. On the other hand, it is because the cost of buying them is too high and I can't afford it!"

As if to express the depression in her heart, Mitsui Ryuki twisted her slender fingers and told Feili about her various difficulties since she took power. Feili just listened silently and did not interrupt casually.

"The ancestors who followed the general's family to create the Edo Shogunate may indeed be most of the heroes among the people, and they are very commendable in terms of ability and morality, otherwise they would not have left this family title for their descendants. But these descendants have been spoiled for generations, and have been spoiled completely, and their minds are simply distorted, and they are not worried about how to live their future lives.

If the shogunate continues to preferential treatment and support them, no matter how much they are given, they will take it for granted, and even think that everything in this world should belong to them, and they will not be able to feel grateful. If the shogunate refuses to continue to raise them for nothing, or asks them to do this and that, these people will be filled with grievances and even resentment, and they think that this is something that is untolerable by nature.

This kind of guy is a little talented, but he has no great ability. He still has a high opinion of himself and needs to be overly conscious. He has a bad mind and no self-knowledge. If he looks at the Sichuan God, he will have bad things, but he will be willing to admit his mistakes with face. This is the least I would rather use the continental people silently!

On the contrary, the urban management team members I selected from "there are many, small, and unmanned people, and all of them struggled from despair and suffering. I know that my wealth and status must be given by me, and all my future lies with us, the "brigade of unscrupulous merchants."

No other forces can give them more things, and even take away what they have already obtained again, just as the court has done in the capital now? Therefore, no matter how good the quality is, at least their loyalty is absolutely guaranteed. In the current chaotic world where the order is collapsed, loyalty is the most important thing. Without loyalty to be grasped, there will be no minimum value to win over.

Feiri had to admit that the Miss Ryuki Mitsui in front of her indeed has political wisdom that is completely inconsistent with her tender face.

I don’t know when he once vaguely heard such a famous saying. There is a saying that you slap people every day, and occasionally don’t hit people one day, that’s called kindness? You give people cakes every day, and don’t give them one day, that’s called tragedy.

In fact, now, the salary and benefits given by the shogunate to urban management team members may not be much higher than the salary of the hereditary flag group, but the loyalty and sense of responsibility of the two are very different. Because most of the former are born from "very dirty and uninhuman" and some miserable ronin, they are the kind of people who are slapped in the face every day. As for the shogunate flag group, they are the type of people who give them cakes every day. Even if they give more, it is difficult to serve them. If they don't give them a day, they will jump up and rebel.

Different, the cost of bribery is naturally different. For people who are difficult to buy and useless, the wisest choice for rulers is to erase it!

"What you said makes sense, but I'm still confused about something."

Speaking of this, Feili finally couldn't help but say a few words, "Since that's the case, why are you so heartwarming about me, a foreigner? We have known each other for a while, and our friendship is not deep!"

, If you are just an ordinary adventurer or commander of the Legion, of course I cannot trust you completely. But your other introductory and identity are destined to be the most reliable allies.    It is more reliable than Admiral Perry!”

And for this kind of rude questioning, Mitsui Ryuki just smiled and pointed his finger at the sky, "The so-called human beings are doing, the heaven is watching. Although the gods are not omniscient, they at least know everything about you and me. You probably don't want to be the next Sammaster! Uh. Even Sammaster, in the decades when he just became a voter, was loyal to His Highness the Goddess of Magic!"

Feili was stunned at first, then couldn't help but hold her forehead in remorse. Why did he forget about this?

Like myself, the petite Japanese beauty in front of me is also a voter of the goddess of magic. Well, the voter who also serves as the goddess of trade is still above me. The voter of Feili is still a candidate, and Mitsui Ryuki is already a genuine product.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the natural cooperative relationship between the two is determined. Unless it is a god in the chaotic evil camp, it will never allow their own elect to fight each other. This itself is a blasphemy to the gods!

When he was previously treated to the shogunate and the imperial Far East garrison. The legion was not in excess of its finances and was about to lose money, Feili was extremely angry and wanted to learn from the European colonists in another world. Here, the "Far East indigenous countries" with a relatively empty military power were burned, killed, and plundered. Overseas colonization was not to treat guests and give gifts, but to kill people and robbers!

However, considering that the Xiangrui thruster has been completely scrapped and cannot be repaired, it is just an empty shell at the moment and cannot move and cannot escape afterwards. He barely suppressed this idea.

But now I think about it again. Even if there is no problem with the propeller of the Xiangrui, he cannot actually plunder Edo Castle without restraint, and then pat his butt and leave. Otherwise, the magic goddess in the sky will definitely arrest him and stuff him into the torture room. From then on, she will be accompanied by a whip, wax, a triangular horse and an iron maid for life. Well, if you don’t do it well, you will be expanded by a large vibrator. In short, life is worse than death.

Therefore, even if he can't get a penny for the great ideal of His Highness Misterla, he could only force his nose to continue to work sincerely with the stingy girl in front of him.

Perhaps at some point, I can't offer you a very generous price, but at least I will never betray or frame you." As if I saw Feili's thoughts. Mitsui Ryuki suddenly added lightly. "But if you need to rely on your strength, you will definitely pay compensation that will satisfy you.

The goddess is watching from the sky, so you can rest assured."

"Okay, I've said something stupid."

Feili touched her nose, thinking that her own people were basically just having lunch before and hadn't done much for the shogunate, so she roughly balanced her mind and responded awkwardly, "The situation seems to have almost settled. What are you going to deal with the following people?"

Looking down at the troublemakers in the square who were already tied up like turtles and shrimps, Mitsui Ryuki frowned slightly and sighed with some compassion, "Oh, actually, I am not a bloodthirsty queen who especially likes to commit more murder. If the situation can be stable, I would rather use some peaceful administrative means to slowly suppress and divide these borer-like worm-like samurai warriors and eventually gradually disappear. But since the current domestic situation is so urgent, I will inevitably take some more intense measures."

Feili raised her eyebrows when she heard this, " A more intense measure? Could it be that they were killed? The number of people executed is too many!"

It's just that it's too wasteful to do this and it's too unkind, I have a more economical idea."

Mitsui Ryuki stretched out a finger and shook it a few times, saying with a smile, with a dark expression. "Since these borers are pushing and retracing, and they are useless to smash them in their hands. Then, now just use everything from them to repay the salary paid by the shogunate over the years!"

Bi: Guess what the outcome of these protesters will be? Tip: Britain, Russia, and France have used similar tricks!
