However, what Jiang Ming was very dissatisfied with was that in such a large city as Inazuma, there was not a decent square.
The only option is to hold the public trial at the castle tower.
We'll try to renovate it to accommodate more people.
A small commotion broke out in the crowd upon hearing about the punishment of Kujo Takayuki and others.
There are calls for an immediate trial and execution.
In response, Jiang Ming could only reach out and press down in the air, signaling everyone to calm down.
"I know you are all eager to do this, and I know you have suffered. I understand your feelings. However, killing him here would be too lenient on him. We must use the most conclusive and compelling evidence to nail him to the pillar of historical shame."
"Please rest assured that even with the existing evidence, we can guarantee that the result will not disappoint you."
People seemed to accept this explanation, and the commotion at the scene gradually subsided.
Seeing that people were gradually calming down, Jiang Ming continued.
"The second thing is that, from this moment on, the shogunate and the shogun are both history."
Jiang Ming's voice was not loud, and his tone was more heavy than joyful.
Only when the burden is placed on your shoulders can you truly feel its weight—the weight of the people of Inazuma, a nation.
"All power in Inazuma belongs to the people."
The people at the scene were still trying to process the information conveyed by those two sentences.
The scene became unusually quiet for a moment.
Does this mean that the Shogunate and the Shogun... no longer exist?
Many people opposed the tyranny of the shogunate and wanted the shogun and the shogunate to retract their orders, but they did not expect that the final result would be that the shogunate and the shogun would cease to exist.
Who will manage Inazuma then? Coral Palace?
Well, I've heard that living conditions are better over there. Although it's hard to get used to the sudden loss of the shogunate that has been passed down for thousands of years, it's not so bad.
But why did the general also become history and cease to exist?
General, aren't you standing there perfectly fine?
People's minds were still a complete mess.
Jiang Ming didn't say much. He simply turned around, greeted Lei Yingdian and the others, and then left the scene with Xin Hai and Wu Lang.
There are still many things to deal with.
A voice rang out from the crowd only after Jiang Ming and his men had left.
"Who cares what the outcome is? At least we don't have to fight anymore, and we don't have to be extorted by those bastards in the Shogunate anymore. We can finally live a good life. Isn't that better than anything else!"
Even in a dense crowd, the sound was not loud, only audible to a few people nearby.
Yes!
Regardless of the outcome, as long as I'm no longer suffering like this, isn't that enough?
Besides, the general was just standing there, and he didn't say much, did he? Why are they so concerned?
The discussion spread rapidly among the people like a plague.
I don't know who started it, but they began to clap.
Gradually, the discussion was replaced by applause.
People from other teams who were unaware of what was happening came up to inquire and quickly received the news.
In Inazuma Castle, the tense situation just moments ago has now turned into a sea of jubilation in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, people began to spontaneously organize celebrations, and some talented people even put on performances for everyone.
The rise of Umijima brought about a series of changes, which reduced the number of direct casualties from the war. However, the economic damage suffered by the various regions under the rule of the shogunate was more severe.
Kujo Takayuki can be described as taking treason to the extreme.
Even the majority of people in Inazuma Castle lived very difficult lives, while only a small group of people were enjoying themselves.
The sea monsters on the street, though seen as occupying forces by the people of Inazuma Castle, were also invited by the locals to celebrate the end of it all, but they politely declined.
They simply watched this scene of singing and dancing quietly, silently maintaining basic order.
“Look at Aying, everyone is so happy.”
Yae no Miko came up and touched her arm.
"Son of God."
If anyone is in a state of conflicting emotions—good, but not so good—then it's watching terrible movies.
Her feelings were complicated at that moment.
Because she not only witnessed the jubilant scene, but also felt the terrifying power of will emanating from them.
If she was still unconvinced by being intimidated by powerful weapons, this scene truly left her speechless.
The more lively the scene and the more people celebrate, the more her face stung with pain and the more guilty she felt.
"Everyone's wishes have been stagnant for too long."
Yae no Miko said this with some emotion.
She had previously thought about reserving a position for Aying so that she could participate in the operation of the "new shogunate" based on her appearance.
With a lifespan far exceeding that of humans, they could at most delay for a few hundred years, take a roundabout approach to save the country, and then they should be able to regain power.
However, Jiang Ming also saw through her little scheme.
She approached the issue from the perspective of the instability of human regimes and the need for oversight, but Jiang Ming countered with a sixteen-character principle: "long-term coexistence, mutual supervision, sincere cooperation, and sharing weal and woe."
Moreover, they held on very tightly. Although they didn't give her everything, they did give her some, which limited her room to maneuver. After all that effort, she still couldn't secure the crucial governing power.
Fortunately, it seems that Ah Ying has moved on and is able to accept it now.
Yeah.
No matter how things change, Aying is always by her side, and Inazuma is always Inazuma, so it doesn't stop her from eating fried tofu and reading light novels.
Chapter 226 Uproar
For the onlookers in the Teyvat kingdoms, there's nothing bigger than the gossip surrounding Inazuma lately.
Through the information transmitted via cable, they learned that Inazuma's isolation edict and eye-hunting edict had been abolished.
The resistance army actually won the war, and its leader even publicly declared that "the shogunate and the general are now history."
At first, they thought the god of thunder had died, but according to reliable sources, the god of thunder, the Thunder General, did not die in the war and appeared intact in the castle tower.
However, the shogunate has been overthrown, and Inazuma Castle is still under the military control of the Kaiji Army. The new Inazuma administrative body has not yet been formally established, and media organizations such as newspapers do not have a clear channel to ask questions.
In fact, not only the media, but also those with stable communication channels, such as Liyue Jade Capital and Qunyu Pavilion, did not receive a clear answer. The unified response from Xin Hai was that they would answer all questions when the new Inari was established.
Coincidentally, the lockdown order was also lifted, and immediately, various agencies on Teyvat began sending people to Inazuma in an effort to obtain firsthand information from the scene.
They had no choice but to take it seriously and be anxious, as this was the only violent change of regime since the era of the Seven Kingdoms, and it happened in a country directly led by a god.
People were filled with curiosity about the soon-to-be-born Inazuma.
Meanwhile, on Inazuma, everyone on Kaigoshi Island was incredibly busy with the numerous matters surrounding the establishment of the new government.
As Umijima withdrew from the state of war, the administrative system of Inazuma City also began to change, no longer being the kind of system specifically designed for war.
The large number of manpower that had been saved due to informatization and intelligentization was now directly transferred to Inazuma Castle to replace the shogunate and become the governing unit of Inazuma Castle.
They kept their word; not a single person from the shogunate has been put to use yet.
Faced with such a tough stance and the menacing presence of guns, the political families of Inazuma have completely lost their power and are now even lining up to undergo investigation.
Inazuma Castle is also gradually withdrawing from military control and returning to normal.
With the restoration of the Inazuma City administrative system and the establishment of numerous infrastructure facilities, their new economic system was also officially adopted.
Inazuma National Automation System Version 1.0.
Although it is still a very basic version, its current role is more reflected in overall planning, and how to develop it further is still being explored.
The current state of Inazuma Castle is almost identical to that of Umijima Island in its early days. The only difference is that Inazuma Castle now has a group of exploitative ruling classes and their subordinates. Although most people struggle to survive, it does not prevent them from living a life of singing and dancing.
If this small group of people is included as targets that do not need to be considered, then it will be found that the majority of the remaining people are almost a replica of the local people with a small amount of private property on Haizhi Island in the early days and the refugees who fled here.
The similar circumstances provided them with a wealth of data for their current deployment.
Of course, one point that won't be explicitly stated is that Inazuma City's economy was in a complete mess at the time, and even if there were problems, it couldn't be worse than it is now.
At least they guarantee job placement and income, and even if things go completely wrong, they can implement a rationing system for a period of time to ensure that no one goes hungry again.
In this respect alone, it is already hundreds of times better than the shogunate.
That's why they dared to try it.
Of course, the model based on public ownership and planned economy was almost inevitable, as it affected the interests of a small group of people in Inazuma City.
This is no longer just snatching food from a tiger's mouth; it's like giving them a stomach pump so they can vomit up all the meat they've eaten!
The key issue is that if it happens once, I might tolerate it because you're powerful, but this time you're cutting off their escape route.
They'll have to earn money through labor from now on; they can't just lie around exploiting people anymore. How can that be allowed?!
This made them extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pan, jumping around in a panic.
Unfortunately, they had already been designated as targets of dictatorship.
Those who jumped out were met with ruthless blows and suffered heavy losses.
This still relies on economic means, at most recovering illegal gains based on economic means, without using any strong measures, and even some suspects who are almost obvious have not yet been investigated.
They haven't even caught all the fish bigger than them yet, and they don't have enough manpower, so they have to wait in line.
Without the support of the various families under the shogunate, these people are nothing special.
