Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 254 Tokugawa Yoshihiro wants to seize power

With the power of Li Xi and Cui Dongxu, and the defeat and capture of Zheng Zaixu, the Goryeo region has become peaceful.

In Goryeo today, you can see people taking to the streets everywhere, taking out the only food left at home to entertain the imperial soldiers.

Some young Korean girls began to dance traditional Korean dances.

As for the young imperial soldiers, watching the dance of the Goryeo girl, they were all excited and a little shy.

However, this is all moving in the right direction.

After reading the information about the Goryeo area, Lin Yi just asked Zhao He to pay attention to the developments in Goryeo. The things saved did not have much to do with Long Xiangjun.

The Yongxiang Army only needs to maintain law and order in Goryeo for a period of time. When other troops in the empire change defenses in the past, the Yongxiang Army can be mobilized back.

Regarding the arrangement of the Longxiang Army, Lin Yi did not want to use the Longxiang Army as an ordinary army. At this stage, they were still used as a force to attack difficulties.

This is the same as the field army and armed police in later generations. The field army is used to attack hostile forces, and their combat mission is to break through the enemy's defense line.

Ordinary local troops are responsible for public security, garrison and other tasks. As for the Jingying camp, his task is to supplement the Longxiang army and act as a link between the Longxiang army and the ordinary local troops.

For now, Lin Yi thinks this is enough. As for when the world war breaks out, Lin Yi feels that all troops need to transform into the National Defense Force.

At that time, security issues within the empire will need to be handed over to patrols and local security groups.

At present, the local security groups are still on paper, because Lin Yi does not dare to delegate power to the local governments. He needs to wait until the empire is completely restructured before implementing it.

In short, one point is that the empire's elite armed forces must be in the hands of one's own family.

With the end of the Goryeo War, the most uncomfortable thing at this time may be Meiji.

The current situation of Meiji is not very good, it can even be said to be a bit difficult. Previously, he planned to take advantage of Tokugawa's celebration of the new establishment and Daxia to withdraw the garrison force stationed on Kyushu Island.

Then Goryeo was about to have a civil war, attack Tokugawa Qingxi, and retake Kyushu Island.

But the result was that he did not capture Kyushu Island, but instead let Koizumi Jiro capture Shikoku Island.

Now Koizumi Jiro is on Shikoku Island. It can be said that he has gone crazy and is unstoppable. I'm afraid if the war continues, Shikoku Island will also change its surname to Tokugawa.

Therefore, at this time, Meiji Tianhuang felt a little regretful. If he had known this, he should have continued to grow up and wait for a good time to have a showdown with Tokugawa.

As a result, a proposal was born in the cabinet, which was to hope that Meiji could order an end to the war.

Including the current Prime Minister Seiichi Terauchi, he also maintains a positive attitude towards such opinions.

Since the cabinet also agreed to this idea, Meiji could only send someone to communicate with Tokugawa Qingxi.

At this time, Tokugawa Kexi also encountered a little trouble. That means Tokugawa Yingxi's health is a little weak.

Tokugawa Yingxi was born in 1837 AD. It is now 1904 AD, and he is 67 years old.

According to the original historical process, this old guy should have died of illness in 1913, but that was based on the fact that the old guy had been practicing Qing for the rest of his life.

And after he re-established the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1900, this old guy directly lived a life of debauchery. He even gave Tokugawa Keiji a little brother at the age of 63.

I have to say that this old guy does have a few brushes.

But the price is that this old guy is about to run out of gas. Therefore, for now, Tokugawa Keiki cannot continue to fight.

There are also some disagreements within the current Tokugawa shogunate about who can succeed the shogun.

Currently, only two people, Tokugawa Keiji and Tokugawa Yoshiji, are qualified to succeed the shogunate and have the upper hand.

Among them, Tokugawa Keiji has a reputational advantage over Tokugawa Yoshiji because he contributed to the subordinate relationship between Daxia and the Tokugawa family. But Tokugawa Yoshihiro is not simple either.

He knew that if he passed the line of Daxia, he would probably not be able to compete with Tokugawa Keiji. After all, Tokugawa Keiji was more familiar with Daxia.

Therefore, Tokugawa Zenshi wanted to find another way and wanted to use Western forces to compete for control of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Thinking about Tokugawa's good deeds, as long as he can convince a Western power to restrain Daxia so that Daxia cannot casually support Tokugawa Keiji, he can take the opportunity to seize control of the Tokugawa family, and then go and talk to Daxia Sorry, let's show that the Tokugawa family is still willing to follow Daxia.

In this way, Daxia would not be able to save his dignity and come to rebuke himself, and through this series of operations, he could actually gain control of the shogunate.

As for what reasons are used to win over Western countries, Tokugawa Yoshihiro feels that he can write a blank check. Although there is no such thing as a check in this era, it does not prevent Tokugawa from thinking so.

As for what happened afterwards, when the Western countries came to the door, wasn't it Daxia who was still there? Is Daxia willing to watch the Tokugawa Shogunate be controlled by the West?

However, before that, Tokugawa Yoshiji felt that he still needed to have some power of his own.

Tokugawa Zenshi was not sure that he could win over the other division commanders, so he turned his attention to Koizumi Jiro, who had always been at odds with Tokugawa Keki and who had always been guarded by Tokugawa Keki.

When Jiro Koizumi saw Tokugawa Zenzhi who came in person in Kochi Castle, he couldn't believe it.

When did the direct members of the Tokugawa family dare to come to the front line?

But when he heard that Tokugawa was trying to win over him, he was even more shocked.

He even thought that he heard wrongly, and that Tokugawa Yoshihiro was trying to win over him?

But then, he realized that this was a good opportunity for him to overthrow the Tokugawa family and come to power himself.

Lin Yi had promised him before that as long as there was an opportunity, he would advocate the election of Koizumi Jiro as the head of Fuso Kingdom. But since the empire is still in a subordinate relationship with the Tokugawa family, Lin Yi has no good excuse to directly oust the Tokugawa family.

Otherwise, the empire's credibility will be greatly compromised. Koizumi Jiro agrees with this point.

After all, a Daxia who could abandon the Tokugawa family for no reason would also abandon him for no reason. But if the Tokugawa family is looking for death themselves and wants to provoke Daxia and give Daxia an excuse to take action, then don't blame Daxia for driving the Tokugawa family away.

And now, Tokugawa Yoshiji wants to use Western power to force Daxia to agree to his appointment as shogun. This is the best excuse.

Now that you have surrendered to the West, whether superficially or substantively, are you already involved with the West?

As long as it is, then your Tokugawa family is a threat to Daxia, so it is justifiable to get rid of you.
