Chapter 737 There is no Japan in the world anymore (first update, please subscribe)

Politicians can commit crimes, but they cannot make mistakes.

For Sanjo Sanetomi, he believed that he had done nothing wrong, just like when he tricked Meiji into issuing an edict to the anti-shogunate faction and supported them in overthrowing the shogunate. What was it for?

that power!

After the overthrow of the shogunate, the public officials who had been sidelined took control of the power. The reason why he supported the Reform was that he wanted to rely on the support of the reformists to seize power.

Power is the best thing in the world!

Sanjo Sanetomi, riding on a horse, looked at the carriage beside him. Emperor Xinghua was in the carriage. She was the source of his power. As long as the emperor was under his control, no matter whether they were the reformists, the Tokugawa family, or the Westerners, if they wanted to achieve their goals, they had to consider his attitude.

Who wouldn't want to hold the emperor hostage and control the other princes?

For Kazunomiya, who was sitting in the carriage, the explosion sounds outside always made her a little nervous. She even looked outside from time to time. Through the gauze of the carriage window, she could vaguely see many fleeing civilians on the road. The convoy was moving along the not-so-wide street.

As the fleeing people and their convoys were driving on the streets, they did not notice that a pair of eyes were staring at them.

“Here it comes!”

Chen Dekun's originally nervous mood finally relaxed. According to the plan, he set up ambush points in three places. The reason why he personally led people to ambush here was because this was the shortest way to escape from the city from the palace, and they would most likely take this road.

alright!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Dekun looked at the commandos around him and said.

"If plan one fails, go with plan two!"

"clear!"

The commandos held their rifles and prepared for the final attack. At this time, Chen Dekun's eyes were fixed on the convoy that was getting closer and closer on the road through the observation hole in the courtyard wall.

It's them, that's right!

All you need to do is see three beautiful figures to know that the target must be on the carriage.

Be it the guards, the eunuchs, or Sanjo Sanemi on horseback, none of them were aware of the danger. Although they would look up at the sky from time to time, they probably only observed the cannonballs flying across the sky.

Finally, when the convoy entered the ambush circle, Chen Dekun silently observed the enemy's position. When the position was close, he waved his hand vigorously, and the commando next to him unscrewed the detonator.

Suddenly, loud noises came from the sky and the earth. Bombs exploded one after another on both sides of the street. The horses and carriages on the street were either blown to the ground or blown into the air. Sanjo Sanemi didn't even have time to react before he was knocked off his horse by the shock wave of the explosion. Compared to the people nearby, he was undoubtedly lucky, as at least he just fell off his horse, while many guards had their limbs blown off in the explosion.

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor..."

Although he was swollen from the fall, Sanjo Sanemi was still shouting loudly. However, in the smoke of the explosion, no one responded to him. The screams of the wounded were everywhere. The streets after the explosion were like hell, with broken limbs everywhere. Even those who survived by chance were mostly struggling and screaming in a pool of blood.

Just then, gunshots rang out.

The somewhat dull sound of gunfire echoed in the street. In the billowing smoke, Sanjo Sanemi saw a group of people rushing towards him from nowhere. They had rifles in their hands and they shot and killed any injured soldiers or eunuchs they saw.

As they approached His Majesty's carriage, Sanjo Sanemi's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Yes, it's a foreigner..."

It's a Westerner!

It's an American sailor!

He, they had actually come here. At this time, Sanjo Sanemi's heart was filled with annoyance and regret. Why didn't he leave with Iwakura and the others?

They have a large group of people over there, so it will definitely be safer, but there is no medicine for regret in this world.

"Here, she is here..."

At this moment, Sanjo Sanemi heard the excited shouts of the sailors after they opened the carriage door.

Then he saw the Western sailors dragging out the palace maids, and they were having fun there amidst their cries and screams.

At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor was dragged out. Compared with those Westerners, His Majesty, covered in blood, looked too petite.

“You, you guys…”

In a daze, Princess He, who was injured when the carriage overturned in the explosion, was dragged out of the carriage. It took her a while to see clearly who "saved" her because she was dizzy and had a headache.

Looking at the American sailors surrounding her and listening to their vulgar language, although He Gong felt desperate, her eyes were very determined. Not wanting to be humiliated, she touched her waist.

Knife, where is my knife?

Just as Kazumiya was struggling to find the knife, she saw an American sailor walk up to her. He looked at her and then took out a photo.

“That’s right!”

Since you are right, let’s do it.

About ten minutes later, the man nodded, and the commando next to him raised his rifle. The devastated Kazumiya looked at the black muzzle with despair in his eyes.

She had a sad smile on her face. Finally, everything was relieved.

The moment the gunshot rang out, Sanjo Sanemi was completely stunned. With both legs broken, he lay on the ground in a daze, looking at the emperor in astonishment!

Oh my god, the emperor is dead!

Killed by the Americans, and...

Those American sailors did not stop and left in a hurry after killing the emperor, as if they had never been here. Sanjo Sanemitsu crawled over with difficulty. Finally, he saw the emperor. The emperor was covered in blood, lying on the ground, staring at the sky with his eyes, as if full of unwillingness.

The Emperor... is gone!

There is no more emperor in Japan...

Just when Sanjo Sanemi was lying in front of the emperor's body like a fool, not knowing what to do, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, Iwakura Tomomi and Yamagata Aritomo and others came. As soon as he saw Sanjo Sanemi, Iwakura Tomomi shouted.

"Your Majesty..."

The next moment, he stopped talking and just stood there with his mouth wide open and a dazed expression.

“Your Majesty…”

The Army Minister Aritomo Yamagata also stopped talking.

"Sanjo, what's going on?!"

"The Americans, the American artillery fired over, and then a group of American sailors attacked us. Yes, it was the Americans who killed the emperor!"

While Sanjo was shouting loudly, Iwakura Tomomi looked at him with a broken leg and cursed angrily.

"Damn it! Why did you take His Majesty away secretly? Why didn't you join us? His Majesty was killed by you!"

Looking at the emperor, Yamagata suddenly stepped forward and shot Sanjo to death, then said

"Baka, it was this guy Sanjo who killed the emperor! His death is not a pity."

Indeed, Sanjo's death was not a pity, as he not only killed the emperor, but also caused the emperor to die in humiliation. This was simply the most humiliating thing Japan had ever suffered.

The moment he saw the emperor's body, Aritomo Yamagata's entire body and all of his beliefs collapsed at that moment. For the first time, he realized that the emperor was just an ordinary person.

She will also die and endure all the hardships in this world.

It was precisely because of this anger that he opened fire.

But what happens after the shooting?

What about Japan?

Without the emperor and the shogun, is there still Japan?
