At the same time, in Oshu Sanriku and Kishu Kumano Beach, a terrifying tsunami swept across after a brief silence. The eastern coast of Honshu, which faces the center of the earthquake in the Pacific Ocean, has no resistance at all.

In addition, the earthquake and the ensuing tsunami occurred after half past ten in the night. At first, people along the coast only thought it was an ordinary earthquake. In such a ghostly place as Japan, it would be strange if there is no earthquake any day. Therefore, the coastal people who were lucky enough did not realize that a catastrophe would soon befall them.

And even if they realize it, it doesn't make any sense. People are no more than two legs, and no matter how fast you run, you can't run as fast as the waves that swept over. The coast is all plains, and it is almost impossible to find a high place to hide.

In fact, at the moment of the earthquake and tsunami, the fate of the people along the coast was already doomed, with only "death".

In the deep night, the tsunami was accompanied by aftershocks, and in an instant, it took the lives of more than 7,000 people in Sanluchong. Many people are even in their sleep, being caught up in the raging waves and then disappearing into the world.

When the waves receded, there was only a vast white ground, as if there had never been any trace of human beings. As for the boats on the beachfront of the harbor, they all sank into the water, filling the endless sea, and never seen again.

Back in Edo, the magnificent Edo Castle in the daytime, now the walls have collapsed, and there is still a fire. The Edo Castle Castle Tower, which was built at a cost of one million taels of gold, has not yet collapsed, but through the skyrocketing fire that rose up in Nishimaru, it can be vaguely seen that the entire building is seriously damaged and is about to fall.

Chuemon hesitated for a while, and finally decided to enter the castle. The Tokugawa family has no hobbies in personnel affairs, so they usually live in Zhongao. Fortunately, it was him. If the generals of the previous two generations were in Ooku, it would not be convenient for Chuemon to enter.

We often come to Edo Castle and Chuo. Although there are ruins and obstacles everywhere, Chuemon quickly found a way to Chuo. When he rushed in with his nose and mouth covered, he saw several attendants guarding a familiar figure running outside.

Who is it if it's not Tokugawa?

"Umatsu, Umatsu!" Tadaoemon hurriedly stepped forward.

"Oh!" Tokugawa Kasada, who saw Chuemon, didn't say much, just greeted Chuemon to run away.

This Nishimaru fire, now it is impossible to organize any manpower to come to rescue, only let him burn. It is still important to escape, as long as people escape, they can build it later.

"Go toward Shiba, or toward Ueno?" Chuemon didn't say much, and directly ordered the Tokugawa family on his back.

Shiba is in the southwest of Edo, close to the sea, and can avoid fires. Ueno is in the northeast of Edo. Because of the northwest wind, the fire can not burn in Ueno, and the fire can be avoided.

"What do you think?" Tokugawa Jiading was already unable to run, so it would be best to have his own brother on his back.

"Go to Shiba, I saw that the Koishikawa area has been ignited." Chungemon thought for a while, and he ran to the southwest.

By the way, why dare to run to the beach? Thanks to the Boso Peninsula and Miura Peninsula, these two peninsulas almost completely cover Edo Bay. This allows Edo to be close to the sea, but it will not be attacked by the tsunami at all. Even if there is a tsunami, it will be blocked by the Boso Peninsula and Miura Peninsula. At most, the sea water in Edo Bay is a little undulating.

"You go to Da'ao, look for your wife, and go to Shiba." The Tokugawa family will not forget to order the Yuxiao surnames who are guarding him, and order them to look for Madame Atsuhime.

The attendant separated the four and ran back. There was no fire in Dao, and there were no tall buildings. There shouldn't be much damage for the time being. It would be fine to come to Madame Atsuhime.

"Cover your mouth and nose." Nishimaru's burning soot was everywhere, nowadays it is an escape, so the Tokugawa family can only bear it a little.

Running madly all the way, first left the Edo Castle, and then moved southward among the crowds rushing to the beach. Various rumors spread among the fleeing crowd. Some said that so and so had been killed in the earthquake, and some said that a certain street in a certain town was on fire and it was impossible to escape. It is also said that foreigners will take advantage of the situation to attack Edo Castle, and the large warships have already arrived in Edo Bay.

Anyway, there are all kinds of things, and even those who say that the Tokugawa family has died in the city. After all, there is a fire like Edo Nishimaru, anyone will be suspicious.

Carrying Tokugawa Iamatsu and running back and forth for almost three hours, Chuemon and his party finally arrived at Shiba. Shiba is a place where the Tokugawa clan's Bodhi Temple Zjojoji is located, which can accommodate a group of people temporarily.

The samurai guarding the temple was also prepared to stop Chuemon and his party from the beginning. After all, Zjojoji was very relevant, and it also contained Tokugawa Ieyasu's own idol. Similar to the great place like the Taimiao next door, the pro-fan ministers are not allowed to rush into it while waiting.

After seeing the faces of Tokugawa Iasa and Chuemon, he opened the gate of the temple in a panic to welcome the group of people to enter. It is a pity that Zengshang Temple was seriously damaged in the earthquake, and the main hall Kaishan Hall collapsed in half. The Ankukjeon Hall where the wooden statue of Ieyasu Tokugawa is stored is not bad enough, and there is no sign of collapse.

Regardless of disturbing the well-being of the former Tosho Ogwonen, Chungemon put down the Tokugawa family who was carrying him ~ lightnovelpub.net~ Looking at the Tokugawa family Yasagi statue enshrined in the hall, Tokugawa family was enshrined. He quickly stepped forward, folded his hands together, and kept praying, not knowing what he was saying.

Chungemon thought that there was still a pot of water tied around his waist, so he untied it and handed it to Tokugawa Kasada. After drinking two sips of water, it was basically safe to go around. Tokugawa Isaiah finally calmed down, and sent an attendant to follow the road to Edo Castle to search for Mrs. Atsuhime and her group.

At his order, the samurai guarding Zojoji Temple led a group of people inside. It was Madame Atsuhime. Otherwise, Mrs. Atsuhime was born in the martial arts family, her body is very good, and she will leave tomorrow and tomorrow, but will arrive at Zengshang Temple almost at the same time, her legs and feet are quite neat.

The husband and wife were okay. Tokugawa Iamatsu quickly asked Shiwan's safety, and learned that Shiwan had been escorted to the infantry school by Kurokawa Yoshitoku. After expecting that nothing would happen, he was relieved. But he still ordered people to bring Shiwan and others to his side, just in case.

Madame Atsuhime also brought her two sister-in-laws together. The two little girls were probably tired from crying. It would be no problem to sleep in the arms of the maid.

Nothing happened to the shogunate, which is really a blessing in misfortune!
