Edo Traveler

Vol 2 Chapter 53: 4 faces startled and rushed

   The simple truth is that hundreds of thousands of people from outside the city flock to Edo, and the entire Edo order will completely collapse in a short time. Not only the people outside the city will get up to make trouble, but the poor inside the city may not stay at home quietly.

   The people of Japan are not as docile as the people next door with the cleanliness. That is a precious tradition rooted in the bones of Xia Keshang. Once the order under the Edo city collapses, those impoverished urban residents will inevitably mobilize and rush into rice shops and cloth shops to carry out happy "zero-yuan shopping" activities.

   But Ah Da does not say Ah Er, it is really anxious, you can buy it at zero dollars everywhere, but some places are more tolerant...

   Once the people inside and outside the city are reunited, then it is possible to form a civil disorder group of more than 300,000 people. Let us take the real Oshio Heihachiro uprising as an example. At that time, Oshio Heihachiro led no more than 400 people, and more than 300 of them were farmers we just met.

   actually broke through the house of the great merchant Konoikeya, and at the same time destroyed and destroyed the warehouse of Konoikeya. Forty thousand taels of gold were snatched from it!

   It’s just that because the number of the rebel army is too small, there is no way to take away such a large sum of cash while fighting. So I simply opened the warehouse and let the nearby people come and **** it.

   And now it’s not more than 300 peasants, maybe there are three to four hundred thousand peasants!

   Even if these people can't beat Edo Castle, it is absolutely possible to ransack the entire Edo Castle Town. Running back to Edo at this time is not only useless, but may be trapped in it, and even be taken prisoner by these farmers.

   Of course, if Chuemon knew this was happening in advance, and there were enough henchmen, then it must have been another plan. I don’t know about other places, but there is a full sixty thousand taels of gold in the warehouse in Nara House. Taking advantage of the chaos, pretending to be a common people, broke the house of Nara House, and went straight in to grab the money.

   Immediately complete the original accumulation!

  Unfortunately, I can only think about this. First, I didn't prepare at all. Second, I really grabbed 60 thousand taels. When I needed to use it, I couldn't tell the origin, and it would still be exposed.

   Now we need to change our thinking and think about whether there is any place we can play in this incident. Not to follow them to robbery, or to think that with their three-inch tongue, they can persuade hundreds of thousands of people to retreat and calm down. But whether it can gain a certain political prestige from it, or the favor of Tokugawa Jiaqing.

   Yabe Masakane, who has been captured by the people, is unsaved, and he can only take the blame for this matter. In terms of facts, it is definitely a good thing to have a person who is directly responsible, so that it will be convenient for Tokugawa Kaki to shirk responsibility in the future.

   But other than that? How to calm down the riots of hundreds of thousands of people? Now Edo Honjo is definitely still numb, and it doesn't feel that the matter is so big that it needs to be suppressed. After the rioting people surrounded Edo's main castle and the traffic inside and outside was completely cut off, it would be unrealistic to want to transfer troops from the outside.

   And Kanto is where the shogunate's heavenly leader is. There is no such big name that can mobilize tens of thousands of horses. If the sky is up to the sky, it is a big name of tens of thousands of stones. When mobilized, it is amazing to have two to three thousand people.

  On the battlefield, two or three thousand soldiers are not elite, old and weak, and there is no way to defeat hundreds of thousands of peasants. Let alone under the Edo Castle where there are hundreds of towns and towns and rivers blocking it? A single soldier or a small number of soldiers that cannot be gathered can not deal with more than a hundred times the enemy!

Moreover, it takes time to send orders, and it takes time to dispatch troops. Even if the names of the princes of Yezhou, Zongzhou, Xiangzhou, and Jiazhou are all called, they have indeed gathered 20,000 horses. When they arrive in Edo, even if it is not a daylily capital It's cold. Edo Castle had long been looted and burned out, leaving only a piece of white ground.

   Make a time difference, pretend that you are the messenger of the shogunate, and directly pass orders to the famous feudal lords around Edo? Without the imperial order of Tokugawa Jiaqing, even if it is not about to be hacked to death by the retainers of these vassals. As for why they weren't hacked to death by the princes, because the princes and daimyos were all in Edo to explain to them, they were soon to be blocked by the people in the city, unable to get in and out, and became people in need of rescue, instead of bringing soldiers to rescue. kind.

   Or maybe running to Edo Castle now, and I told Tokugawa Ikei to let the castle go, the big deal, let's move to Osaka or Sunfu. Not to mention whether Tokugawa Ieki is willing to leave Edo or not, it is true that our identity is not qualified to meet Tokugawa Ieki.

  Cadaemon thought while running into the castle. For such a big matter, it seems that there is really no chance for a small character like ours to dictate. People's slight remark probably refers to this situation, and he didn't run away.

Alas, if we had the reputation of Oshio Heihachiro, and raised our arms, the tens of thousands of people in Edo Castle would stand up and harmonize with us, would we be able to stop the peasants who made the accusation outside the city~www.wuxiaspot. com~ I will definitely get the praise and rewards of Tokugawa Ieki. It’s beautiful to think about it.

   The two and their servants did not run to the house, but to the monastery. Yoshiaki Kinmaru had already hid in the monastery with his family. Temples often have tall walls, and the people also have a certain awe of the temples. In the chaotic situation, taking shelter in the temple is definitely better than squatting at home.

   At this time, there was the sound of house breaking and demolition from the street, and the screams of the adults and the howls of the children were in parallel. The Edo zero-dollar shopping activity started without accident. The forceful prosecution that was originally peaceful has officially turned into a feast for thugs.

   If it’s just a simple robbery, it’s fine. The most can cause people to lose property. You can look around. There have been many fires in the huge town of Edo. Regardless of whether it was an intentional arson or an unintentional fire, it was the same result for Edo.

   Without an orderly fire fighting operation, Edo will be plunged into flames in a short time!

   "Looking at the fire, I'm afraid that the city will not be able to stay still, so I have to go outside!" Chuemon held Heizo and showed him the fire.

   "Damn it!" Ping San looked at the rising fireworks and cursed.

   "Let's hurry up. If we walk slowly, we won't recognize people if the fire comes over."

   "Save!"

   Not only the two knew to run, the ordinary people who saw the fire also knew to run. Everyone is used to running anyway, and it is not the first time that Edo has caught fire. As long as you wear expensive clothes on your body, you will basically have no other important possessions.

   But when there are more people, the streets become congested. The rider Chuemon Hei Mitsukoshi walked slowly and couldn't even move forward.

   "I'll take the horse out of the city, and you will pick them up!" Chungemon knew Heizan was anxious, so he shouted immediately.
