Five hundred and ninetieth chapters plan to overthrow the shogunate

"Are you saying true?" Tanaka Zeichi looked at Zheng Zhilong in disbelief, not understanding, "I am just an unknown little person, and this time I stood up just for my best friend. Why do you think I can overthrow the brutal shogunate?"

"Don't ask if you can, first tell me if you want to." Zheng Zhilong said.

"I think! I want to avenge Inoue, revenge myself, and kill Hirotsune Hirotsune of Itakara!" Tanaka Seiichi said that Hirotsune Hirotsune who caused her to fall into such a tragic situation, and he couldn't help but gritted his teeth in hatred.

"It's not so much to be unknown now. The most important thing is to have firm belief." Zheng Zhilong patted Tanaka Seiichi's shoulder earnestly.

Nearly half a month has passed since the fire of the Ichikura family incident. Although the incident was suppressed by Hirotsuka Hirotsuka by violent means, it has become a topic of discussion among the people in the city. Although the students did not really seek justice from the Ichikura family and did not cause a huge sensation, this was an extremely rare incident in which civilians attacked the Daming Mansion, which made the residents of Edo Castle feel that the shogunate seemed not so terrible.

Half a month later, Tanaka Eiichi and the students of the China Association basically recovered and came to the school one after another. The murderer Shigetsu Itakura and several accomplices were removed from the Tokyo Academy. Shigetsu Itakura's death Inoue's family, who came to the door and died, gritted the bullet and apologized to Inoue's parents, and then compensated about 500 taels of silver, and gave up.

After the situation stabilized, Zheng Zhilong invited Tanaka Seiichi and others to Yokohama Port - the Kyushu Army's concession in Edo Bay, and it was difficult for the shogunate to intervene.

"Tanaka, I don't know what it would be like to General Zheng to look for us. A small person like us can actually be in General Zheng's eyes. It's really a blessing in my life." The students who went to Yokohama Port with Zeichi Tanaka couldn't help but feel nervous when they saw that they were about to arrive in Yokohama Village.

In their own opinion, the status of the two sides is very different. Zheng Zhilong is the highest commander of the Beiyang Fleet, and the force in his hands makes the entire Japanese country tremble. And they are just ordinary civilians. Zheng Zhilong takes the initiative to find them, which can be said to make them feel scared and terrified.

The Beiyang Fleet regards Yokohama Village as its territory and sets up levels on the roads to Yokohama Village. Only those holding Chinese identity certificates can enter and exit Yokohama Village freely. Tanaka Seiichi and others have temporary passes given by the Beiyang Fleet, so they can access the levels set up by the Beiyang Fleet.

"I heard that this was a poor small fishing village in the past, but since the Beiyang Fleet entered here, the fishermen here have become extremely rich, and they have also looked down on people outside Yokohama Village. Even some flags do not dare to offend them, at least here." said a Japanese student who had contact with Yokohama Village.

"China has a lot of products and they are extremely advanced. If they can lead us like Yokohama Village, our entire Kanto will be as rich as Yokohama Village." Tanaka Sei was full of fanaticism at first glance, and he had great trust in the Kyushu Army. However, it was not so much a trust in the new Kyushu Army soldiers, but it was a worship of power. The Kyushu Army and the Beiyang Fleet were invincible great beings in the Japanese Kingdom.

"That's right, if Edo Castle was managed by the Beiyang Fleet instead of the stupid and incompetent shogunate ruled, our Edo Castle could also be as prosperous and powerful as the city in the Central Plains." A group of members of the Chinese Association said one after another.

After they passed the customs, the naval soldiers arranged by Zheng Zhilong in advance were already waiting for them: "I am General Zheng Zhilong's personal soldier, and he is waiting for you in the village."

"I'm going to be the boss of the soldier," Tanaka Seiichi said politely on behalf of China.

"You don't have to be polite, we are all our own people." This navy soldier was not arrogant because Zheng Zhilong greeted him in advance, and felt even more intimate in the ears of Seiichi Tanaka and others.

Tanaka Seik thrust his chest, and was regarded as his own by the Kyushu Army, which actually made him feel a sense of pride. In the eyes of the shogunate, he was a civilian who was inferior to even livestock, but the Beiyang Fleet, which was even afraid of the shogunate, regarded him as an important figure, and made the nameless Tanaka Seik initially pay attention to himself.

The Beiyang Fleet requisitioned the village houses along the coast of Yokohama Village, almost knocked down and rebuilt them, and then transported stone and wood from southern Liaoning to build a large-scale construction here. It turned out that the backward fishing village was gone, and replaced by the common brick and tile houses and wooden houses in the Central Plains. Tanaka Naka and his friends came to the Xinyokohama Village that rose from the ground, and thought they had crossed the ocean to the Central Plains.

"Hahaha, Tanaka Seiichi, you came very early, much earlier than the agreed time." Zheng Zhilong held a banquet at his mansion to entertain Tanaka Seiichi and the others.

"General Zheng is so polite!" Tanaka Chengichi and others did not expect that Zheng Zhilong would hold a banquet to entertain his group, and they were even more grateful.

"Please sit down." Zheng Zhilong reached out and signaled, "What do you think when you came to our Yokohama Port?"

Tanaka Sei sat down timidly: "Yokohama Port is different now, it is really amazing. The fear that the port is anchored is the ships of the Beiyang Fleet led by General Zheng. The size is so large that it is far from comparable to the Yazai ship of the shogunate!"

"Haha, Tanaka Seiichi, do you still remember what I said to you half a month ago?" Zheng Zhilong raised his glass and asked Tanaka Seiichi.

"General Zheng has a noble status. How dare he forget what he said to the villain?" Tanaka Zeichi said humbly, "But Tanaka doesn't understand why General Zheng said that we, the unknown little people, can overthrow the powerful shogunate?"

"I said that as long as you have firm beliefs, you are not afraid of nothing that cannot be done. And at the right time, our Kyushu Army will serve as your most solid backing. If you overthrow the shogunate, you can build the world of Datong described by Confucius on this land." Zheng Zhilong painted a bright future to Tanaka Seiichi.

"The Kyushu Army is really willing to help us overthrow the shogunate?" Tanaka Seiichi and others said in surprise.

"Yes, and after the shogunate overthrow, you young people will establish a joint parliament and rebuild this land." Zheng Zhilong promised another important condition, which shocked Tanaka Seiichi and others even more.

Zheng Zhilong actually made it clear to them that the Jiuzhou Army would support them, and also handed over the power of the Japanese Kingdom to those of ordinary people, which was like a pie falling from the sky!

"I don't know how we should act to overthrow the shogunate?" Tanaka Chengichi suppressed his excitement and asked Zheng Zhilong cautiously.

"You can actively contribute to the Edo newspaper, promote your thoughts to the people, let them see the shogunate's ugly face, and improve their reputation." Zheng Zhilong gestured on the table, "In addition, I want you to meet someone."

"Who?" Tanaka Seiichi and others asked one after another.

"Come in." Zheng Zhilong clapped his hands, and a person turned out from behind the screen.
