Kawaji Shengmo refused to follow Chuemon Gate to retreat to Edo. He said that he was ordered by the general to care for Uraga and had the responsibility to guard the land. If Uraga falls, he cannot survive alone.

　　 Everyone has their own ambitions, and Chuemon guessed that the American minds would not be placed on Uraga, so he did not force Kawaji Shengmo to retreat with him. He only ordered him to report every hour and not to stop the news.

　　 There is no way to go through the waterway in Edo Bay, and Chuemon can only retreat to Shinagawa by land with his men and horses. Masahiro Matsudaira, who was stationed at the Shinagawa Gotenyama Fort, had long seen the U.S. Navy come swaggering and fired in demonstrations in the direction of Edo. At this time, I turned around in a hurry, and after seeing Chuemon, he quickly pulled up Chuemon to drive to Edo Castle.

　　 As soon as the horse arrived in the city, the streets were bleak, and the clan soldiers and Kibmoto royal family who were originally arranged in the streets had already escaped for most of the time. The common people all know that the coast is not safe, and they all ran north to Musashi, Ueno, and Shizuo. There were once a metropolis with a population of one million, but now I don’t know how many people are still there.

　　 "Why did you get to this point?" Songping Qixuan hadn't closed his eyes for the past two days, and his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes.

　　 "The two of you have finally returned. Oisho has passed away. Now the city is in chaos." The Edo-Minami-cho, who had been waiting for the two at Nihonbashi, immediately greeted him.

　　 "What!" Both of them were walking in a hurry, and then they knew.

Matsudaira Qixuan beside 　　 only felt that the sky was spinning, he really loved the shogunate, but the shogunate he loved so deeply, showing a state of subjugation, which made him unacceptable.

　　 "Eh eh eh, hurry up and hold Akashi Hou." Tadaemon hurriedly asked Sukeruchi to hold down Matsudaira Chisun.

　　 "What's the situation in Edo?"

　　 "Stop talking, it can't be worse."

　　Suke Roku handed Matsudaira Qixuan to two subordinates to carry, and Tochu Uemon walked quickly to the city. He hasn't closed his eyes for two days. As Edo Minamicho, he is responsible for keeping the soil. Once Edo falls, he will go to see the ancestors since Tokugawa Ieyasu without a face.

　　According to his statement, after the squad left Edo and went to Uraga and Futtsu for defense, the people under the castle and some samurai began to run away. They were worried that Edo, which was not guarded by a large army, would not be able to hold on. But the people who ran at that time were only part of it, and Edo Bay Natural Hazard might be able to resist one or two.

　　 After Perry led his troops to shell Shinagawa, the whole city collapsed, and the tens of thousands of Qimoto and the clan soldiers that had gathered together almost all ran away. The Qiben royal family who has been working hard for Fenggong are not much better than the common people. Then the news of the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu was leaked, and even the last determined samurai was shaken. Everyone felt that the luck of the shogunate had ended.

　　 At the moment, those who are still in Edo are probably only the daimyo of the feudal clan, who is temporarily inconvenient to run away, and the shogunate’s direct command of the troops. The whole city does not know if there are 100,000 people, or 200,000 people.

　　 There is a saying, Shuroku sent his family to Kaneiji Temple in Ueno. He is responsible for keeping the land, but his new wife is only pregnant. How can he bear the heart to stay and die together?

Ugh…

　　 Chungemon can only sigh, the shogunate has long passed on, and the soldiers and civilians of the world are not accustomed to war, and they don’t listen to war. As long as there is a little disturbance, the hearts of the people will be corrupted. In this case, what can be done?

　　 Ascended the city and watched, even the guards and rules of the city had collapsed. The originally orderly Nakaouchi was full of warriors with panic expressions and costumes everywhere. For those who came and went, Shuroku didn't have an edict, so he followed Chuemon in the same way.

　　 Before entering the temple, he heard the sound of controversy in the temple. The content of the quarrel made Chungemon's brows furrowed, and someone in the temple was actually accusing the soldiers of the feudal clan who broke up first, and then the 30,000 or forty thousand people from the shogunate also followed.

　　 How come there are foreign princes in the temple!

　　When I entered the hall, Maeda Yoshitae, Date Kyobong, Ikeda Yoshitoku, Nabeshima Naomasa, Kuroda Yoshipu, Maori Kei, and Shimadzu Tadashi were all present. In addition, there were several other vassals. They were sitting at the end of the hall, arguing with the genealogy daimyo sitting at the top, their faces flushed, and no one in the hall could stop them.

　　 "The general is in front of him, so loud, how decent is it!" Chuemon yelled, and walked into the hall.

　　 The people who were arguing with each other calmed down, not because of how powerful Chuemon himself was, but because Chuemon and Matsudaira came in with the thousands of passing teams. Can't kill foreigners, and how many foreign princes can't kill you?

　　 "My minister lost Futtsu, and I should punish the army." Chuemon first set up Matsudaira Chisun, and then sat in front of Tokugawa Kasada.

　　 "What is not guilty? The war is important, and the war is important." Tokugawa's response was originally slow, but now Tokugawa's death, the U.S. army shelled Shinagawa again, and he was completely unable to turn it around.

　　 Chungemon looked at the princes daimyo who had apparently been arguing in the hall for a long time, and thought of such a sentence for no reason, a sentence that was completely relevant to the moment.

"It can be seen that in a country like ours, there are as many as 30 million people. If you kill from the outside, you can't kill for a while. This is what the ancients said, "Hundred-legged insects, die but not stiff." You must first commit suicide from your home. Only by self-destruction can it be defeated!"

　　 After saying something, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Chuyouemon burst into tears...

　　 When everyone heard what Chuemon said, some cried silently; some had a stiff complexion and didn't know what to do; some turned their heads too far and didn't want to teach people to see it; some looked normal, just as if they didn't know what to do.

　　 "You can fight but you can't fight, what can you do for it?" Mizuno Tadashi also cried, but he really had no way to save the shogunate.

　　 "The mii ship is strong and the guns are strong, and the shogunate does not have the advantage of the navy. It is trapped in Shinagawa. If Shinagawa is lost, what should I do?" Suga Qiyu wiped off his tears and asked Chugoemon.

　　 "Futtsu is defeated, the hearts of the people are lost, the people flee, the army is also chaotic, lest Tokugawa is unclear." Sitting in the corner, Songping Qimin dared to say what others did not dare to say, and there was a mournful voice in his voice.

　　 "Fukui Hou, you are the prime minister, what do you think of it!" Tadaoemon stepped forward and grabbed Matsuhira Keunaga's arm to make him express his opinion.

　　 "This, this, this..." Matsudaira Keunou didn't know how to answer.

　　 "Hikone Hou, how about you!"

　　 "It's really hard to accept the Yihe payment, alas..."

　　 "Is it really impossible to fight anymore?" Songping Qixuan asked everyone present in a loud voice.

　　 Everyone was asked by him, but he dared not answer. Wherever he saw, he bowed his head. There was no other sound except crying in the temple where the argument was fierce.

　　 "That's it, that's it!" Chuemon shook off Matsudaira Keunaga, really wondering what else he could do to save the shogunate.

　　 The shogunate was not defeated in battle, but the heart of the people was defeated!
