Chapter 298: The Embassy Counterattack, Tokugawa Iemitsu Wait for Death

Shinto priests,

They are all greedy people who fool the people, but the people don't get much money.

Therefore, when Abe Shigeji's lobbyist,
After arriving at the temple, he explained his conditions to the host and took out a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.
The fat and big-eared host,

Without any hesitation, he agreed to help the shogunate deal with the foreigners.

After the lobbyist left, that night,
The abbot secretly convened a meeting of the core monks.

"There is a noble who wants us to expel all the foreigners.
Especially the Chinese, tell me what should we do? "

Everyone knows that there is no gain without pain.
Since the host said so, it must be that a noble person has given a lot of benefits.

The monks in the temple are all on the same boat, and they prosper together.

Someone immediately said: "That's easy.
We took our followers with us to burn down the foreigners' shops and cargo ships.
We can also rush into the embassy area and drive them all away!"

Someone said: "I'm afraid it will get too big and it will be hard to handle in the future..."

The host smiled confidently and said:
"It's okay. There's no need to worry about a big incident. Someone is protecting us.

Besides, we don’t need to do anything, just let the believers below do it!”

The monks' eyes lit up.
It's great that you can get money without having to take any risks.

But someone else expressed a different opinion.
"Foreigners, especially Chinese,

Not only do they sell cheap things, but they also help a lot of homeless children.
Not only does it teach for free, it also treats illnesses for free.

He often helped orphans and widows with farm work and gave porridge to the poor every day.
More and more people are praising them, but I’m afraid no one will believe us…”

The host frowned. This was indeed a problem.

Another person said: "I think it's very simple.
As long as we describe foreigners as devils, the people will surely be scared!"

The fat host asked, "Oh, how do we do that?"

“For example, if they rescue street children, we say they are kidnapping children.
To treat the people, it can be said that they steal their hearts and lungs and cook them.
Helping with the work, but actually stealing the wheat secretly,

Giving away porridge is a false act of benevolence and righteousness.

We, the great Yamato people, will never eat food given out of pity, even if we have to starve to death or jump into the sea!"

The host laughed:

"Wow! This is a brilliant idea!
That's right! We want to encourage believers to do what we say.

We must first make the people feel scared... Then we can add another one for the foreigners.
Let's say Amaterasu appeared and revealed the secret:

The Westerners have evil intentions and want to disrupt the orthodoxy of Japan and destroy the Yamato nation!"

All the monks nodded in approval.

But someone seems to be challenging:
"What if there are still people who refuse to believe?"

The host said sinisterly:
"Then they are traitors bought by China.
Betraying your ancestors and your soul will lead you to hell after you die!"

Just like that, this group of lackeys bought by the Japanese dignitaries,

You and I kept coming up with all kinds of vicious schemes.
Gradually, a huge conspiracy that seemed to be able to "justify itself" was formed.

From this moment on, Shintoism turned its attention to
It targeted the Chinese embassy, ​​including foreigners doing business in the "Five Ports".

Following their steps,
First to the fanatics among the believers,
Constantly instill hatred in them, and then stimulate them with national honor,

Let them be willing to contribute and sacrifice for Amaterasu willingly.

After training for several days,

Finally, 18 qualified fanatics were selected.

These people, each with red eyes,

It was like a shot of chicken blood, with an extremely excited look,
Even if they are pricked by needles or stabbed by knives and bleed profusely, they will not feel afraid.
The host was very satisfied. The crucial first step was accomplished.
This group of desperate criminals were defined as the "Eighteen Dharma Protectors".
They claimed that they were the incarnations of Amaterasu and possessed magical powers.

Next, the second step,
Let the monks bring the "Eighteen Dharma Protectors"
Go to areas where believers gather and preach "end-time theory".
It is said that a large number of evil demons from outer space are about to invade and destroy the human world.

Religion’s tactics are simple, just two moves… “carrot + stick”.
Listen to me, and you will be able to go to the infinite and beautiful heaven.
This is, in essence, spiritual opium.

If you don't listen to me, you will go to a horrible hell.

In fact, it is just naked threat and intimidation against those ignorant believers.

More than 90% of the people in Japan,

They are all poor people from the lower class who have never been to school, have simple minds and naive ideas.

The temple monks and the "Dharma Protector Vajra" cooperated to spread the "end-of-the-world theory".

A large number of believers were indeed frightened and prayed to the gods for protection.

In this way, the "End Times Theory" spread all over Japan.
Gradually, the word spread, and more and more believers came to believe in it.
More people also spread the news by word of mouth and became panic-stricken.

At this time, the monks began to reveal the origin of the "Dharma Protector Vajra".

It is said that they are the eighteen incarnations of Amaterasu, reincarnated to protect Japan.

This statement is actually very absurd and false at first glance.

However, Japanese believers and people,

The vast majority of them have never been educated, and no one has taught them to distinguish the true from the false.

Therefore, the "Eighteen Dharma Protectors" quickly became popular.
why?
Because, in the performance, these fanatics,
It can endure all kinds of injuries and pain, and even be "invulnerable to knives and guns".

There were cuts all over his body, and blood was flowing.

However, these "Dharma Guardians" remained calm and continued to chat and laugh.

Therefore, many ordinary people at the bottom of society,
They firmly believe that they are the "reincarnation of gods".

The second step was completed successfully, and the temple monks finally showed their true colors and used the third move.

With the help of the "Eighteen Dharma Protectors",
They fabricated all kinds of crimes against foreign businessmen and slandered the pertinent words of righteous people.

As a result, a large number of deceived believers,

Under the leadership of the thugs, in the name of "punishing traitors",
Hunt down, beat, and kill Japanese people who speak for foreigners.

They gathered in front of foreign chambers of commerce and shops to protest.

At first, it was just slogans.

Soon, it becomes discarded vegetable leaves, rotten eggs or garbage, etc.

The foreign businessman was confused and immediately wanted to call the Japanese officials for help.

However, the local officials who were hinted at this did not work hard.
They were perfunctory in protecting foreign businessmen and even condoned radical believers in causing trouble.

Finally, some fools who were bewitched had bloodshot foreheads.

The protests escalated and they began to smash and destroy shops and clubs.

Their brutal and barbaric behavior
Received recognition and praise from the "Eighteen Dharma Protectors",

He was hailed as a hero by the people and deliberately ignored by the government.

As a result, these "activists" became even more unscrupulous.

Not only did they loot and burn chambers of commerce and cargo ships, they also targeted foreigners.

Many foreign chambers of commerce and businessmen had to evacuate for their own safety.

However, the tolerance and concession of foreign merchants
Instead of reducing the "anti-foreign movement", it aroused greater carnival among the believers.
They really believed that the evil demons destroyed the world and the gods were reincarnated to save the Yamato people.

As a result, many people became bolder and started killing lone foreigners.

In less than three days, businessmen from many countries were beaten to death.

Foreign merchant ships in various ports were set on fire, and countless wealth was reduced to ashes.

At this point, believers and the public were completely out of control.

They began to spontaneously launch a large-scale siege and attack on the institutions of various countries stationed in Japan.

Early in the morning, Min Lianghao discovered that something seemed wrong.

The Japanese samurai guarding the door did not seem to be on duty.

Because of the recent wind direction, he also made various corresponding plans.

Min Lianghao immediately sent a secret report to Incheon and set up barricades at the gate.
He also opened the warehouse to distribute weapons and organized the people in the museum to protect themselves.

As soon as they were deployed,
A large number of Shinto believers appeared around the building.

They each held a knife or a gun, gnashing their teeth and cursing.

Min Lianghao stood on the wall, holding a loudspeaker and warning:

"The museum is our territory, sacred and inviolable.
If we are attacked, we have the right to retaliate in kind!"

The "Eighteen Dharma Protectors" and many thugs,

They began to instigate believers and the public to step forward and provoke.

"They are the biggest evil demons from outer space. Today is the day to eliminate them!"

"Don't be afraid! Amaterasu will protect you!"

"They are all cowards. One charge will kill them all!"

The crowd began to surge forward, getting closer and closer.

"Clap clap clap!"

Min Lianghao immediately fired a warning shot into the air.

The crowd stopped.
The next moment, the organizer started shouting again,
"Revenge the dead children and fight for the survival of the Yamato people!" "Charge and kill! Even if you die, you will be a hero of the Yamato people!"

This is like a shot of adrenaline.

The crowd became crazy and rushed towards the embassy.

Min Lianghao sighed and issued an order.

"Anyone who crosses the cordon, no need to report, counterattack immediately!"

He raised the box gun and laid it flat.
Aim at the dense crowd of people and pull the trigger.

"Clap clap clap..."

Just like an appointment.
There were crackling sounds of gunfire from the four directions of the Chinese Embassy at the same time.

Foolish followers of Shintoism in Japan,
Just like rotten wooden stakes, a large number of them fell down with a "thump thump".

Not to mention the dead, the injured couldn't bear it after all.

Lying on the ground, howling and crying miserably,
However, under the manipulation of the organizers behind the scenes, more victims were pushed forward.

Min Lianghao quickly used up all the bullets in his box gun.

However, the desperate Japanese rushed up again.

The embassy abroad is the territory of our country and must not be trampled upon by others!

"Wow!"

Min Lianghao pulled the bolt and suddenly took out the "AKA 47".

"Tu Tu Tu!"

The storm of bullets formed a solid wall.
Ignorant Japanese believers,
Like wheat being cut, it falls down piece by piece,
The area around the embassy was literally a bloodbath...

Looking at the "mountain of corpses" piled up in front of the embassy,
The "Dharma Guardian Vajras" were so scared that they clenched their teeth.

Otherwise, they will definitely make a "click, click" sound.

Finally, the first wave of siege was repelled.

At least a thousand Japanese people were killed or injured.
And there were zero casualties at the Chinese Embassy.

In the afternoon, the second wave of siege came again.
This time the believers seemed to have learned their lesson.
They put many "talismans" on their heads and bodies.

Many people carried black dog blood, rooster blood, and some even carried manure water.

The scale of this attack was even larger than that in the morning.
Min Lianghao ate canned meat, drank black soda, and stared at the main entrance.

He found that the believers had returned again and shouted:

"Hit me hard!"

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

However, these guys actually launched the "human wave tactics" at all costs.
Thousands of heads came like a tide.
The gun barrels were all red, at the critical moment,
Min Lianghao fully demonstrated the potential of an excellent commander.

"Grenade!"

"Ding, ding, ding..."

When the round "little melons" fell among the crowd,
Many Japanese believers picked them up and examined them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Balls of fire exploded, and within ten square meters, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Many round "holes" suddenly appeared in the dense crowd.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After throwing three or four grenades in succession, the believers in the front were almost wiped out.

Min Lianghao replaced the magazine with a new one and fired wildly at the believers who had crossed the line.

"Suddenly..."

The moment these guys didn't heed the warning, they must have been prepared to die.

The believers are confused, desperate and scared...

Looking at the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood ahead, listening to the continuous gunfire from the top of the wall,
The remaining believers' psychological defenses collapsed.

"Ahhh! I want to go home, I want my mother..."

When a believer is so scared that he loses his mind and runs away insanely,

It's like a chain reaction has been activated.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...all the believers fled madly.

The Chinese Embassy is more terrifying than the eighteen levels of hell!
Min Lianghao estimated that only the main entrance of the embassy

There were more than two thousand believers who fell, and it was estimated that half of them were killed or injured.

He was sighing with emotion.
A young embassy staff member,

Looking at the horrific scene, I couldn't help but vomit.

Min Lianghao walked over, patted him and said:

"You have done a great job and are worthy of our motherland. Go and have a rest!"

Huge loss of personnel outside the Chinese Embassy,

Not only did it shock the believers and monks, but even Nijo Castle found it incredible.

Five thousand casualties, yet they couldn't even break in?!
Tokugawa Iemitsu said angrily:

"This, this is impossible! Do they know any magic?"

Abe Shigeci sighed:
"I reminded the temple not to act recklessly, but they didn't listen..."

Tokugawa Iemitsu said with red eyes:

"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Since the fight has come to this, let's just give it another try!"

Abe Shigeji asked doubtfully:
"General, what do you mean?"

"Their firearms are too powerful during the day, so we will launch a 'night attack'!"

Someone immediately flattered him:
"General, you are wise! It's dark at night,

They will definitely not be able to see clearly, and will definitely take it down in one fell swoop!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu seemed to have thought of something and whispered a few words.

Abe Shigeji's face changed drastically and he immediately tried to dissuade him.
"General, this is a serious matter. Please withdraw your order..."

"No! Shen Ling has an old saying: You must be in danger before you can survive!
Tonight is the moment of decisive battle and victory. If anyone stands in my way again, I will never let them off easily!"

Got it!
Abe Shigeji didn't dare to speak anymore.

However, his eyes were filled with deep worry.

As dusk passed, twilight gradually fell around the embassy, ​​which was filled with the strong smell of blood.

High on the embassy roof, the lookout gave a warning.

"People are coming from all directions!"

Min Lianghao couldn't help but curse:

"Are these brainless guys dumber than pigs?"

He really killed until his hands were soft.

If he could evacuate the embassy safely, he would never stay.

Someone said sarcastically:
"Hehe, they probably want to launch a sneak attack under the cover of night, how smart they are~~"

Min Lianghao sighed.
Although I sympathize with these low-level and ignorant Japanese people,

However, the mastermind behind this attack on the Chinese Embassy is
It must be the fat pig general who stays in Nijo Castle all day!
At present, there is no other way but to protect our own people first.

The lookout warned again: "The enemy is fifty steps closer!"

Min Lianghao immediately shouted: "Everyone, take your positions and prepare to fire!"

The words fell.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

There was a sound of bolts being pulled...

Suddenly, in the darkness opposite, a flash of fire appeared.
"Snapped!"

A bullet hit the outer wall of the embassy.

Min Lianghao's heart moved. Is this a firearm?

He immediately shouted: "Flare!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Four flares flew into the air.
It was like four little suns rising, illuminating the area around the Chinese Embassy as bright as day.

Thousands of Japanese people who were sneaking around with their backs bent were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

How is this going?

Where does the sun come from?
However, Min Lianghao on the wall clearly saw
Among the crowd preparing to attack the embassy at night, there were quite a few sailors holding muskets.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, wash your neck and wait for death!
