v11 Chapter 97: 226!226!

"stand at attention!"

In the field camp in Yokohama, which had long been scattered, a whistle was suddenly blown to gather, and hundreds of soldiers, fully armed, gathered on the small playground. More than a dozen non-commissioned officers, with their shoulders fastened on their belts, were full of ammunition. They did not wear a battle hat or military cap. They only tied their hair with cloth belts, and called to and fro the troops.

In addition to the soldiers under their subordinates, some soldiers in the battalion also subconsciously gathered on the playground when they heard the whistle. Some people formed a line, while others just stood scattered near the tent, watching the sudden gathering of troops. No one realizes what this is for.

Of course, there were other non-commissioned officers in the battalion, but some were just as ignorant as the soldiers. Some felt that something might have happened, but couldn't guess. Really smart people, but err, the rest are just mortals.

A non-commissioned officer took the cloth belt handed by his colleague and tied it tightly around his head. Looking up slightly, there are four big characters written on it.

Ordered to hunt thieves!

"Everyone, we are all the Chuanxi infantrymen established by the imperial order of the general. Now is the time when we need to go all out to establish a 'new shogunate'.

I can understand that you all feel grief and anger on your chest now, I am just like you!

In Lucknow, India, we were driven away by the British like guinea pigs. Just to fill the trenches outside the city, hundreds of brothers lost their lives!

After Gwalior was breached, we were the first to be moved out of the city, and the British soldiers took the spoils. And our brothers were killed and injured more than 600, not even the leftovers!

British soldiers eat beef and white rice. We eat potatoes, eat sweet potatoes, and even drink water with mud.

Being driven to the battlefield in the face of hunger and exhaustion, is this the original intention of the general to treat us loyal and brave people. The general never wanted us to suffer like this, to die in a foreign country so meaninglessly.

It was the treacherous officials and wealthy men beside him, as well as the foreigners who ran rampant in the land of our kingdom of God, who blinded the general's Sheng Cong, so that he did not know our suffering.

Now we should obey the royal orders of the general, and do our best to clear the side of the general and drive away the ghosts and beasts of Yingmi!

Please believe me, come with me! "

The non-commissioned officer standing on the gun carriage jumped down and strode out, and the soldiers who were infected by his call turned around one after another and left the camp at the whistle.

"The target is the British embassy!" The non-commissioned officer on the horse pulled out his saber and swung forward.

Not only the hundreds of soldiers they wooed, but also the non-commissioned officers and soldiers who were just watching on the playground, many people were infected by this declaration, took up arms, followed the troops that set off, and went to attack the British embassy.

"Let's go together, go together, I'm going to go together!" Sometimes soldiers are so simple, they don't think more.

The leading non-commissioned officer was named Lin Hachiro, the artillery non-commissioned officer was named Takahashi Taro, and many of the subordinate non-commissioned officers also had names.

In addition, a special team was dispatched, led by Sergeant Shibukawa Zensuke, to attack the telegraph office and check the situation at the train station. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the trends of the embassies of France, the United States, the Netherlands, and Russia, and block the front and rear exits of Binhai Customs. It is guaranteed that after the troops have captured the British embassy and small barracks, they can quickly turn their guns and break through Binhaiguan.

Lin Hachiro rode his horse and stood on the side of the road, watching the four-man column of troops, and began to trot towards Yokohama Castle. Mouth could not help but muttered.

Is the sky angry or the earth moving? Before my eyes, the sound was like thunder.

In all dangers, I will break through. Just to run to, the shogunate.

But I pray, fame and fortune, all look down on it, not at present.

Only sincerity, support the generals, shun the barbarians and harass the thieves, will be glorious forever.

With a wave of the horse, Lin Hachiro jumped in front of the troops and signaled to them with his hand, "Loyal! Loyalty! Loyal!" The shouting made the soldiers and soldiers even more imposing.

"Loyalty!" The soldiers raised their guns in unison, echoing. Even the steps under his feet could not help speeding up.

The brigade was divided into two groups, hundreds of people seemed to be one person, and rushed towards the British embassy in the Yokohama residential area with a rapid momentum. Takahashi Taro also commanded the artillery, and he kept up with the queue with hope for the resurgence of the shogunate.

At this moment in the British Embassy, ​​Alcock finally got a report from his subordinates, saying that he saw a fire broke out in the Yokohama government office of the shogunate, and it seemed that something was wrong.

Alcock, who had just rejected Hijikata's three-year-old, didn't think there would be a big riot on the shogunate's side. Isn't this another 30,000 yuan. As long as they can make money, can those big bosses still make trouble? Give some today, give some tomorrow, and hang a carrot in front of the donkey that pulls the mill.

As long as you give one a week, the donkey will happily pull the mill and go forward. I paid all the money all at once, how can I drive these big bosses later?

Alcock, who doesn't think anything is wrong

, UU reading www.uukanshu. com asked his subordinates to send someone to the Yokohama government office to ask if there was a fire for some reason, and whether the British needed to send Japanese patrolmen from the Military Police Bureau to help put out the fire.

This is also in line with the stance of goodwill between Britain and the shogunate at this time. I am sending British soldiers. You must be suspicious. But now all the people I send are Japanese, and you both speak the same language, so you can command smoothly and put out fires faster and better.

Just as he was writing and writing a letter to a member of the House of Lords he knew, hoping that he could exert his influence and make more money for himself in London. The entourage who had been sent to check the fire in the Yokohama government office ran back and told him that there was a fire in the government office, and no one was fighting the fire at all.

Moreover, the Yokohama Railway Station, which was going to be closed at night, was also full of people at this time. It seemed that a serious riot was taking place. From time to time, soldiers of the training team with weapons or bare hands could be seen on the street. Some rush to the train station, while others do random sabotage or arson.

"There's an accident at the train station!" Alcock finally realized that something might have happened under the Yokohama castle.

He put away the pen and paper and hurried to the window. In addition to seeing the billowing fireworks in the direction of the Yokohama government office, he also seemed to see that the direction of the train station was much brighter than usual.

If there is a riot, the first to be attacked should be the shops, banks, foreign firms and pawnshops. These places either have a lot of goods or a lot of cash, which is what people coveted and coveted.

What are you doing at the train station? Grab a train? Where did you get the train? Everywhere is in Japan. If you want to grab it, you should grab the ship.

"Your Excellency Minister, a large number of unknown persons suddenly appeared around the embassy!"
