Vol 2 Chapter 57: Don't tell the general directly

   Is there a way?

   The Tokugawa Shogunate has been in operation for more than two hundred years, and the rules are more rigid and rigid, and it is difficult for even the generals to break through. Not to mention that a small imperial family member of Chungemon, who wanted to see the general, filed a compulsory complaint.

   Amano Hachiro shook his head. They surrounded Edo with hundreds of thousands of people, crying and clamouring for what they could not do. How could they do it with Tademon? This can be used to deceive children, let alone Hachiro Amano, who can participate in tangling thousands of people? Don't even think about it.

   "There is no guarantee for the submission of the appeal. But when it comes to meeting the general, it is quite possible." Chuemon suddenly revealed a certain "wisdom" light.

   "How?" Hachirou Amano was puzzled.

"look!"

  Tadaemon pointed to Edo, where many fires had ignited, and the peasants who had made the accusation have now turned into rioters, arbitrarily carrying out zero-dollar shopping activities under the Edo Castle. Edo Castle is a city by the sea, everyone knows it. So the people came from the north and east, and they also surrounded Edo from the northeast.

   Then, it is the north and east sides of Edo Castle that are currently ravaged by the rioters. This is easy to understand. But the problem is precisely in the north and east.

Why? Because now the northwest wind is blowing!

   The weather in October of the lunar calendar, the Siberian air-conditioning group went south, also affecting Japan, in the unobstructed Kanto Plain, the northwest wind was blowing like a happy one.

   The two work together. One is the fire on the north and east sides of Edo Castle, and the other is the northwest wind from the whistling wind. This means that the main castle of Edo Castle, which is downwind, is exactly where the fire may spread!

   If nothing happens, and there is no one to fight the fire, tomorrow Edo Castle will be engulfed by a raging fire. At that time, the prosperous and magnificent Edo Castle Castle, the fireworks of Oo, and the forested Onishi Maru will all be completely annihilated in the fire, leaving only a place of ashes.

   In normal times, Tokugawa Ikei can call on the family soldiers of the princes and the Edo-machi fire to fight tens of thousands of people, and remove a fire belt under the Edo Castle to ensure that the fire does not extend to the Edo Castle. But now Yabe Sadaken, who is in charge of Edo Castle Town, was captured alive by the rioters, and the other one who pursued the far-reaching mountain view and ran away. As usual, Rikinmaru Kuniyoshi, our little friend Heizo, went home to rescue. My parents went to the two teams.

   May I ask who will put out the fire?

   That's right, the town fire fighters will clean the snow in front of the door by themselves, and they will deal with the small fire inside the town themselves. But suddenly hundreds of thousands of peasants poured into Edo, causing a huge riot. The poor under the Edo Castle also joined the zero dollar shopping, and maybe even some members of the town fire fighting were also looting. How many people responded to the call to fight the fire?

   Even if everyone is there, who will call? Can't the dignified shogunate General Tokugawa Ieki to call, right? In such a chaotic situation, the place of fire was not one or two, but dozens or even hundreds. Only with the power of the fire fighting, there is actually no way to save a city like Edo built entirely of wood.

  Tadaemon’s idea was simple. When the fire spread to the front of Edo Castle in the middle of the night, he would run away no matter what the thoughts of Tokugawa Ikei in the castle were. At that time, even if there were thousands of people around to protect him, he would definitely be able to see Tokugawa Jiaqing.

   As soon as he finished speaking, Hachiro Amano suddenly realized. That’s pretty good. Tokugawa Ieki can pretend to be dead and unable to see the people who come to force the lawsuit. But once the Edo fire endangers lives, how can Tokugawa Ieki not run away? If you want to run away, you have to leave Edo Castle. If you leave Edo Castle, will you have a chance to meet?

   "What an adult taught, it really makes sense!" Hachiro Amano bowed his head and saluted, and after speaking, he was ready to take his little buddies to the gate of the city.

   If Tokugawa Ieki wants to run away, it is impossible to run by one person or two, at least thousands of guards. So I can only go through the door, without guessing. At that time, Hachiro Amano knelt at the gate and blocked the road directly. Even if I was reluctant to do so, Tokugawa Ieki had to accept his appeal.

   I've all seen each other, our general is always a good person, so how could he not listen to the opinions of the people. The reason why I didn't receive an appeal before was because the corrupt officials below blocked the way and made the general ignorant of the people's suffering.

   By the way, some people say that Mu An Box, can't the common people submit their opinions to Mu An Box. That's right, the general will indeed read the proposal in the Muan box. But I didn't say which day to watch it. It may be one month or three months. After all, there are so many things in the world, it is impossible for the general to read letters from the people every day.

   After the land seizure was over, the general looked at Muan Box again and said that the people were so bitter~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After that, land seizures were forbidden for five years. What's the use of this? The child is dead, are you nursing?

   "Don't tell directly!" Tademon immediately stretched out his hand to stop Hachiro Amano.

   "Why?" Hachirou Amano finally had a way to meet Tokugawa Ieki. He was excited, so why would he stop like this.

"Do you know that the fire in Edo nowadays is all because of forceful prosecution? If you go directly to the general, although the land seizure will stop, the crime of arson and looting Edo is inevitable. Then it will be a capital crime and will be cut !"

As soon as the word    slash was uttered, a gust of northwest wind blew over. The necks of Amano Hachiro and the others seemed to catch a cold, and one by one they shrank their necks abruptly. There are many types of death penalty in Japan, and beheading is definitely the most disreputable one, and only the most heinous person will be sentenced to beheading.

   Like Sekihara fighting together, Ishida Mitsunari, who was hostile to Tokugawa Ieyasu, was sentenced to beheading. Compared with cutting abdomen, it is a great punishment.

   Don't say anything about the voter Amano Hachiro. First, he forced the prosecution, and the compulsory prosecution did not result in assaulting the officers and the army. This is enough to convict. No matter how valid your reasons are, it is useless. It is a felony to attack the army!

  As soon as the official army collapsed, they rushed into the city to rob and set fire. Now the fire has been burning up, and with the support of the gale, it is burning bigger and bigger, and there is a tendency to burn the whole city. Don't talk about beheading, Tokugawa Jiaqing is afraid that he has the heart to send all these people to heaven.

   It's a big deal, I'm afraid that there is no way to relieve Tokugawa Jiaqing. He wanted to come to five horses to divide the body, Ling Chi to execute them, and to give them to this group of people, and finally chopped them up to feed the dogs, but it didn't work.

   Then how can Tokugawa Ieki be relieved a little bit, so that he can cut Amano Hachiro into two with a single knife?

   "You follow me to fight the fire!"
