v11 Chapter 96: Premeditated and chaotic

After rushing into the official hall, the soldiers who searched for the pine and flat, but couldn't find it, were completely chaotic. The crowd squeezed Chuanlu Shengmo and Enomoto Wuyang in the middle, and asked Songping Qixuan why he had abandoned them. They just hoped that Songping Qixuan could decide for them.

Rao Shichuan Lu Shengmo explained in various ways, saying that Songping Qixuan was going to raise money, and no one wanted to believe it. He was a civilian, and the soldiers didn't know him at all, let alone have any prestige in the army. Some soldiers were under the command of Takeyo Enomoto, and they also questioned Takeyo Enomoto, what happened?

If you don't ask for money, people also run away!

You ask Takeo Enomoto, who does Takeo Enomoto ask? He is also very confused now, Songping Qi Xuan was in the official hall when he went out, why did people run away now.

The two officials on the scene were unable to calm the soldiers, and of course the scene would be difficult to recover. At this time, the money box was scattered around the gate, and I don't know who brought it in. The non-commissioned officer who was looking at the pocket watch in the special place before raised his arms.

The money in front of you has been divided up, let's go to the foreigners for the rest!

"Crash", the box of Jin Xiaoju was dumped on the ground, and Chuanlu Shengmo was in a hurry. These are all public funds of the shogunate, how can they be divided up like this.

As a result, when he opened his mouth, the non-commissioned officer faced him with two big-eared melon seeds, and spit out thick phlegm on his face. The soldiers on the side originally wanted to go up and stab Chuan Lu Shengmo, but they ended up and fell down. The non-commissioned officer was not so cruel, he told Chuan Lu Shengmo that I was waiting for pay, nothing else.

Hundreds of soldiers who had divided up more than 50,000 taels of money instantly became the temporary supporters of the non-commissioned officer. They first imprisoned Chuanlu Shengmo and Enomoto Takeyo, and then set fire to the Yokohama government hall.

Most of them followed the sergeant and rushed to the train station. When they came, they saw that there were countless red coppers to be transshipped and sold to the UK. That's all the money of the shogunate, why should it be given to the British. I'm just going to get our own money now, simple.

The non-commissioned officer was not actually a constitutional monarchist or a radical reformer. His forehead was hot right now, and he had old grudges. If you really want to mutiny and rebel, you must first attack the British embassy and the small barracks, and then break the Binhaiguan and rob the gold cash in the Binhaiguan. There are gold mountains and silver seas in the customs, and the expenses are inexhaustible.

It's a pity that the incident happened suddenly. He only knew that there were a lot of red copper in the railway station. At this time, one hundred catties of red copper were in a bundle, and the value of silver was as much as sixteen taels on the other side. You carry a bundle of red copper, and the whole family's expenses for a year are enough.

In addition to a few soldiers who transferred Kanashigawa Road Seimo and Enomoto Takeyo, the remaining hundreds of people rushed to Yokohama Railway Station aggressively. The Yokohama government office behind them soon burst into flames.

As soon as the fire broke out, everyone around here knew that something had happened in Yokohama!

Some people ran desperately to the residential area, while others ran to the port terminal. Of course, some shouted and rushed, and some went to put out the fire, and so on.

The soldiers who rushed to the train station ran in large numbers, but there were two soldiers in the field who walked in the opposite direction. The two quickly ran back to the field camp of the training team a little further away.

The camp was also in chaos at this time, and some people had heard that there was chaos in the city and were attacking the Yokohama government office. Some people are still ignorant, still waiting for Songping Qixuan to enter the camp and get paid.

However, in a corner of the camp, several non-commissioned officers of the training team kept pressing and not sending them. Their original plan was to wait for the shogunate to fail to pay the salary, and then further instigate the whole army to fight.

As a result, the development of things far exceeded their expectations. As for things in the world, it is impossible for everything to act according to their plan. And their plans change over and over again, and the more complex they are, the greater the variable.

One of the non-commissioned officers was overjoyed when they learned that someone had led troops to attack and loot Yokohama Railway Station. They don't have too many troops. Now that someone has taken the initiative to attack the train station, this is a good thing for them.

Now they just need to take advantage of the chaos that is about to break out and the eyes of all parties to focus on the burning Yokohama official hall and train station, cut off the telegraph line immediately, and then bring artillery to attack the British embassy and small barracks, and hold the British ambassador Al Cock can.

When Alcock starts, smashes the Binhaiguan, and wraps the army with gold and silver, tomorrow morning, he will be able to go to Edo and attack the city of Edo.

And in these seven days, they are not unprepared. As a non-commissioned officer, who has no non-commissioned officer brothers in the army? The friendship between the two of them was born from scratching and rolling in the mud pit.

The other party promised that as long as the soldiers and horses were killed, he would open the Edo gate on his side. And to show his sincerity, he also revealed a big secret.

The Edo Castle Walls Underpass!

Many years ago, Edo Castle was set on fire, and the drainage channel in the castle was destroyed. At that time, when Edo Chuanqing was in charge of the renovation project, in order to facilitate and save money, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com ordered to cut the bend and straighten it, and directly lead the drainage channel into the moat. The thinking at the time was very straightforward. If you could swim for two minutes with your breath in the bone-chilling ice water, and then enter Edo Castle, I would consider you to be the best.

So at the time, no one thought that this would become a flaw in Edo Castle, until the Great Ansei Earthquake, the epicenter of which was near Edo. As a result, the entire city of Edo was almost destroyed. During the reconstruction process, the moat of Edo Castle was drained, which was convenient for Eiffel, the city architect at that time, to re-plan the streets.

So the drain was seen by the person who was patrolling the whole city, and then the water from the moat was poured in again, so it was naturally safe again. It's a pity that the winter in Edo is cold this year, and the water level of the moat has dropped, so the two sewer mouths are half exposed and hidden in the corner.

As long as you climb straight up from the two sewer entrances, you can enter Edo Omoko smoothly. At that time, whether it is to attack Nishimaru or attack Zhongao, it will be much simpler.

While the front was free, someone had already secretly groped through the sewer entrance once, and the exit was hidden in a low-lying corner of the city wall. Apart from the difficulty of climbing, it was nothing more than to endure the stench.

Not to mention, the cold wind at the end of winter also formed an airflow inside this sewer mouth, and the air inside was much stronger than expected.

With this preparation, why not worry about the big things? Several non-commissioned officers clapped their hands to form an alliance, all willing to sacrifice everything for the great cause of the shogunate.

So everyone no longer hesitated, and after encouraging each other, they immediately dispersed to mobilize troops. Its total number is about five hundred. An artillery officer also ordered his subordinates to call out two three-pounder cavalry guns to bombard the small British battalion.

Get all the power, only tonight!
