v11 Chapter 7: Reinforcements from Shimadzu Tadashi

"what!"

Chuemon was struck by lightning, and he almost lost his seat. A loyal group of ronin brings incredible news, Matsudaira Qixuan is attacked, and Kyoto is in chaos.

"What on earth is the Marquis of Akashi!" Chuyouemon's mind was buzzing, although his proportions were not in chaos, he was concerned about the safety of Songping Qixuan.

"It has been sent to Osaka by Deputy Chief Okita, and is now being treated at the Shimadzu mansion."

Chief Director Okita defeated the gangsters, and when he saw the chaos in Kyoto and the rumbling of cannons inside the ban, he was somewhat panicked. When he thought about it, war might have broken out between Jinzhong and Erjo Imperial Palace. At this time, taking Songping Qixuan to these two places would be tantamount to sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

However, Songping Qixuan, who was pulled from the dead pile, was seriously injured and must be treated immediately. There was no other way, so Chief Okita instructed his subordinates to "borrow" a small steamer immediately and flew from the Yodo River to Osaka. There are quite a few doctors of Lan medicine in Osaka, and they are the best at dealing with this kind of trauma.

As for the internal injury thing, let it be fate.

When the group came to Osaka, there was no one who was familiar with the situation in Osaka. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, more than 3,000 princes from Kagoshima Shimazu Chukao arrived in Osaka. The majestic Satsuma Hayato, one by one, carrying the Migne rifles imported from France, passed the streets arrogantly.

Shimadzu Tadao was a big prince who was involved in the shogunate's state affairs. His daughter was Mrs. Odaisho, and his son, Shimadzu Yajiro, who was also the next feudal lord, was the consort. This guy, closely related to the shogunate, is one of the backbones of the Sasaku faction.

Don't ask him, ask who?

Shimazu Tadashi, who was stopped from driving, was also shocked when he saw Matsudaira Qixuan being carried. He only thought about participating in the shogunate and sharing power. Who dares to do such a horrific thing, even Songping Qi Xuan dares to kill?

Isn't this the same as going to war with the shogunate!

Not to mention anything else, Shimadzu Tadashi immediately sent his doctor to diagnose and treat Matsudaira Qi. Not surprisingly, Shimadzu's doctor was French, and he was also a French doctor with good medical skills. In Annan, people often saw their thighs, and dealing with trauma is a must.

After Matsudaira Qixuan was settled, Shimadzu Tadashi immediately asked Chief Okita what happened in Kyoto. Why didn't I get treatment in Kyoto, but went to a place I didn't know well in Osaka.

So Chief Okita immediately explained what he knew, and the possible collusion between the Hagi Domain and the Fukui Domain, which caused the chaos in Kyoto. There are many guesses, but there are also many facts. After all, Chief Okita arrested Umeda Yunbin and Takeshi Banpingtai, and rescued Matsudaira Qixuan.

Hearing this, Shimadzu Tadashi was shocked. Not only am I surprised by the boldness of these people, but I am also worried that if the matter is done by them, the Shimadzu family will have to stand aside. Now Shimadzu is in the center of power, and the Tokugawa family must be a person with soft ears like his father, who was eaten to death by Mrs. Atsushi.

In the government affairs of the shogunate, Mrs. Atsuhime had great influence. And Mrs. Atsuhime is the voice of the Shimadzu family, and she and the Shimadzu family are two sides of the standard.

If the shogunate was overthrown, the imperial court and the consort would be useless.

no! Shimadzu realized immediately that the whole incident could not be allowed to go on like this. Matsudaira Qixuan was seriously injured and was in the process of being rescued. The training team in Kyoto had no leader and was definitely unable to resist the rebel army. And the Edo training team will go to Kyoto, at least a week later.

Wait a week? I am afraid that the day lily is cold, and Kyoto has already changed its owner. Shimadzu Tadashi, who was not a fool himself, after a little hesitation, immediately ordered Mr. Okita to sneak back to Kyoto. Try to meet Tokugawa Keibao, and explain to him that the Shimadzu family will lead troops into the Jingzamaku, please be sure to hold on.

Here, he can nominally take Songping Qixuan as the main commander, and use Songping Qixuan as the general general to convene troops to help Kyoto. Matsudaira Qixuan himself is the senior official of the shogunate, the Kinki and Western countries of Japan, the de facto supreme chief, and has full power to handle all affairs.

Although Matsudaira Qi Xuan mobilized foreign troops and horses, it may be overstepped, but it is always more legal and compliant than foreign troops and horses to enter Kyoto by themselves. The nature of the two is different, and Shimadzu Chujiao can distinguish them clearly.

After receiving the order, Chief Okita immediately took people back to Kyoto on a small fire reincarnation. On the other hand, Chugyo Shimazu ordered the soldiers of the Satsuma domain to quickly prepare their guns and ammunition, and at the same time, they dumped all the excess luggage and the like in the Shimadzu domain mansion in Osaka. Fast forward lightly, be sure to arrive in Kyoto and rescue Tokugawa Keiho before the winner is decided in Kyoto.

Of course, Shimadzu, in the name of Matsudaira, immediately sent an emergency report to Edo, and there was a communication ship from the Tokugawa Yusen Kaisha in Osaka. Knowing that Kyoto had changed a lot, people stopped pulling goods and customers, so they rushed to Edo with urgent reports and messengers.

Now people are kneeling in front of Chuemon and all the ministers, including Naobi Ii, their expressions have changed drastically. The matter is too big, and there is no way that Mount Tai will collapse in front of it and not change.

"Hurry up and report to the superior!" Ii Naobi turned around and instructed the attendants beside him.

"Yes!" The attendant jumped up and ran towards Zhongao.

"The situation in Kyoto is unknown, and Marquis Owari has not reported anything. How do you deal with it?" Ii Naobi is now one of the top two.

"Conquer the ship, mobilize the troops immediately, and have to set off tonight to rush to the capital to pacify the chaos!" Chuyouemon answered immediately.

When such a major event happened in Kyoto, whether or not the Hagi domain and the Fukui domain rebelled, they must be suppressed quickly to restore peace in Kyoto. Otherwise, the waves of chaos will spread, and there will be a huge blow to the prestige of the shogunate in Jin and the West.

This time, it must be fast, so that the lords of the Jin and Western countries can see that the shogunate has the ability to project military power quickly and long distances.

Let the people of Kyoto and Osaka know that although the shogunate is already a broken ship, this broken ship also has three pounds of iron. Tigers are old, but they are still tigers. They can only be replaced by tigers, and cannot be bullied by wild dogs.

"Who is going!" Naobi Ii immediately accepted this opinion.

"I'll go!" Chuemon also refused.

"It's not right! I'm afraid that there will be chaos in Edo too. You have to sit in the training team camp to maintain the streets of Edo. Kyoto will go to Tarozaemon." Naobi Ii shook his head.

In his mind, Edo must be more important than Kyoto. If you don't want to make a mess in Edo, there will be chaos in Edo, but there will be no chaos in Edo. Anyway, Hijikata Toshizo and Enomoto Wuyang have already exchanged Jiangchuan Yingmin from India, then Jiangchuan Yingmin will lead the troops to pacify the chaos.
