When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 293: The Japanese Cabinet: The news of the destruction of the Combined Fleet is false

There was a loud "bang"!
If the cowardly and afraid Qing army were here, they would probably have been scared to death and would have knelt down and begged for mercy.

However, the one standing here is not those cowards, but the mighty Zhu Di who is famous and feared by the world!

In recent years, they have traveled all over the world, defeated the arrogant British in other times, and made them surrender. Not only did they ban English and speak Chinese instead, they even abandoned their faith and began to believe in Taoism.

How could Zhu Di have the slightest fear or indulgence towards Britain?
He remained calm and collected, raised the rifle steadily, aimed at the enemy, and pulled the trigger mercilessly, instantly sending the ignorant guy to report to the underworld.

This sudden shot stunned the other British soldiers around. They opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.

They never dreamed that the man in front of them would be so decisive and resolute that he would shoot and kill people without saying a word.

This kind of behavior is simply inconceivable and unbelievable in this era.

Today's Britain is one of the true overlords of this era. Who dares not to give it face?

The captain of the British army was so angry when he saw this that he kept shouting like a machine gun.

However, Zhu Di just snorted coldly and shouted in a majestic voice: "This is our great land of Yanhuang, not a place where you little Britain can run wild! If you dare to say a word in front of me again, believe it or not, I will kill you all!" As he spoke, he pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the captain again, with a cold light flashing in his eyes and murderous intent.

The British soldiers, who were originally ready to fight back, saw Zhu Di's fierce posture and immediately retreated like deflated balls, not daring to make any rash moves.

The British captain was fluent in Chinese. He paused and asked, "This is clearly our Great British territory. Who gave you the right to trespass? And you even dared to wantonly kill our brave and fearless British warriors. I must report this matter to your queen mother and ask her to severely punish you lawless lunatics!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure rushed forward as fast as lightning, raised his hand and slapped the British captain hard in the face with a loud slap.

The person who took action was the invincible and brave Xiang Yu!
The slap was so powerful that if Xiang Yu had not shown mercy and used a little more force, the captain would have been knocked unconscious on the spot.

"When did this place become British territory?"

Xiang Yu picked him up and questioned him angrily.

After suffering several heavy blows in succession, the British captain realized as if waking up from a dream that the army standing in front of him was completely different from the Qing army he was familiar with in the past.

He cursed in his heart, but still suppressed his anger and warned himself not to bother with this guy who was not knowing how to live or die.

When the time comes, report this matter to the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty and let her deal with the other party.

If the Queen Mother is unwilling to take action, the worst that can happen is to start another war. After all, with Britain's strength, it is not afraid of this small Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly forced a fawning smile on his face, fearing that the aggressive Zhu Di in front of him would suddenly get hot-headed and order someone to shoot.

He asked cautiously, "Excuse me, Your Excellency, why did your army surround our embassy?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "If you had shown such an attitude earlier, why would you have been beaten for nothing? You are really a humiliator! To tell you the truth, the Qing Dynasty is about to end! From now on, all of you are not allowed to step out of this embassy. Stay here and wait for the order from the new dynasty. Anyone who dares to disobey orders and act on his own will be killed without mercy! Well, stop talking nonsense and quickly hand over all the weapons in your hands!"

As soon as the words fell, the British captain was stunned on the spot, and the word "rebellion" instantly emerged in his mind.

These foreigners have heard something about the current domestic situation of the Qing Dynasty.

After all, in this vast land, uprisings have broken out one after another in many places.

But no one expected that this surging wave would spread to the capital of the Qing Dynasty?
What is even more unexpected is that at this moment, a well-trained, well-equipped army with strength that cannot be underestimated actually appeared here like a god descending from the sky.

This undoubtedly brought an unprecedented huge threat to the Qing Dynasty, which was already in turmoil. Perhaps it had really reached a critical moment of life and death.

"We may not leave the embassy, ​​but we will never hand over our weapons!"

Zhu Di shook his head solemnly, his tone firm and resolute. His sharp eyes stared at the enemies in front of him, as if to penetrate their souls, and then shouted loudly: "I will start counting, I will only count to three. If you still refuse to surrender, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As the voice fell, a tense atmosphere instantly spread.

"Three!" Zhu Di's voice was as loud as a bell, deafening. Everyone present couldn't help but tremble, and their heartbeats accelerated. However, those British soldiers still held their weapons tightly, with no intention of surrendering.

"Two!" Zhu Di shouted again, his voice full of majesty and anger. At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stop flowing. The situation was becoming increasingly tense, and a bloody conflict could be triggered if one was not careful.

Finally, at this critical moment, the British captain's face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Obviously, he realized that Zhu Di was not bluffing, but was serious. So, he could no longer care about anything else and shouted loudly: "Okay, we agree!"

Hearing the other party's words of compromise, Zhu Di's tense face relaxed a little.

These guys are quite sensible and know that a wise man should not suffer a loss in front of him.

Soon, the British soldiers put down their weapons, stood aside obediently, and allowed the Allied Forces of All Dynasties to search them carefully.

After a search, the coalition soldiers did find something.

They found a thick stack of information, which detailed how Western capitalists used various means and conspiracies to frantically suck blood and plunder wealth from the vast Qing Empire.

Looking at these shocking materials, Zhu Di's anger burned more and more fiercely.

Carefully keep these valuable evidences, and after successfully overthrowing the corrupt and declining Qing Dynasty, slowly settle accounts with these greedy and shameless guys!

Of course, not all legations cooperated as well as this British army.

Some ministers still resisted stubbornly, trying to protect their so-called "dignity" and "interests" by using their own force.

But in front of the powerful coalition forces of all dynasties, their resistance was ultimately nothing more than an egg hitting a rock...

Like the Japanese embassy, ​​they acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. They not only laughed at the timidity of the allied forces, but also stretched their necks arrogantly and shouted at Zhu Di provocatively: "Come on! Come and chop us up if you dare!"

Zhu Di would naturally satisfy such a request.

I saw a flash of cold light in his eyes, and the sharp blade in his hand was unsheathed in an instant, as fast as lightning across the night sky. In an instant, the flashes of swords and shadows flashed, and screams were heard one after another. The Japanese soldiers died in the blink of an eye.

Anyway, in the near future, the tiny country of Japan will no longer exist in the world, so there is naturally no need for the embassy in front of us to remain.

Hundreds of thousands of mighty allied forces from all dynasties surged in like a tide, pouring into the city with great momentum.

Wherever they passed, the already corrupt Qing army had no power to fight back and was quickly defeated like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

It didn't take long for the allied forces of all dynasties to successfully surround the magnificent yet decadent imperial palace.

With the support of advanced and powerful firepower, the coalition forces easily blasted open the heavy palace gate and marched straight into the interior of the palace.

Inside the palace, Empress Dowager Cixi watched helplessly as herself and many ministers of the Qing court were surrounded by the densely packed coalition forces of all dynasties. Her face, which had always been pampered, had now lost the last trace of color and turned as pale as paper.

The old Buddha who once held great power in the court asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you? Why are you so bold and rebellious?" Zhu Di stared at the old witch mentioned by Zhu Ming with a sharp gaze and sneered: "Just looking at this face, it is the typical face of bringing disaster to the country and the people. Humph, what rebellion? I came here today to restore order and save the people of the world!"

At this moment, a loud roar was heard: "How dare you be so rude to the Queen Mother!"

It turned out that a eunuch with a shrill voice stood up and scolded Zhu Di.

However, Zhu Di remained calm and didn't even bother to respond with a single word.

He raised his gun and with a loud bang, a bullet instantly shot towards the eunuch.

In the blink of an eye, the eunuch who had been so arrogant just now fell to the ground and died.

Li Lianying, a popular figure beside the Empress Dowager, died in this way.

In an instant, the entire hall fell into deathly silence. Seeing this, those ministers who had been eager to speak up for the Queen Mother swallowed their saliva involuntarily, and the words that were on their lips were swallowed back into their stomachs.

Then, Zhu Di waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Come here, cut off all these people's braids! It makes me angry just looking at them! Also, take this evil queen away and lock her up. I have said before that I will make her spend an unforgettable 60th birthday, and I will certainly not break my promise!"

Following Zhu Di's order, the coalition forces of all dynasties under his command quickly took action.

With unstoppable force, they easily captured the capital of the Qing Dynasty.

Those Manchu Eight Banners descendants who usually only knew how to smoke opium and do nothing but walk birds and fight cocks were captured by Zhu Di's army like frightened birds.

Afterwards, Zhu Di sent people to conduct a special investigation. Anyone who committed a crime would be severely punished, no matter how big or small the crime was, and would not be tolerated.

When Zhu Di reorganized the former capital of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Ming returned to the Qinglong fleet.

When Zheng He and others saw Zhu Ming, they hurried forward.

"Dragon Emperor, how is the Marshal doing?"

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "The Qing Empire has been occupied. What remains are the various places. They have all been mapped out. Soon, the Qing Empire will no longer exist."

"Haha, that's what I expected."

"With the Dragon Emperor's help, if those braids can survive a round, I will give them a high regard."

I briefly explained the situation on Zhu Di's side.

Zhu Ming looked at the surrounding sea water and asked, "What's the situation here now?"

"In another two hours, we will reach the coast of Japan."

Zhu Ming nodded: "Okay, I'll take this opportunity to lead people to attack a city."

Others who said that a city could be captured in two hours must be bragging.

But when Zhu Ming said it, Zheng He had no doubt at all.

In less than two hours, Zhu Ming returned again.

At this time, the fleet was able to see the coast in the distance.

The Eastern Essence of Japan.

The tragic news of the annihilation of the Combined Fleet quickly reached the Japanese Cabinet like a bolt from the blue.

In an instant, the entire Japanese cabinet seemed to be shrouded in an invisible fear, and everyone fell into deep shock and panic.

Shortly after the war broke out, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Ito Yuheng, realized how brutal the battle was and that his side was powerless to turn the tide. He reported this disastrous news back to his country with a heavy heart.

When the news first reached the Japanese Cabinet, everyone was in disbelief, and some even suspected that the information was transmitted incorrectly, and that the enemy's annihilation was mistakenly reported as the annihilation of their own combined fleet.

However, after repeated confirmation again and again, they had to accept this cruel reality.

At this time, Emperor Meiji was holding the telegram that brought endless despair in his hand, staring at the words on it with dull eyes, his body motionless as if petrified.

You should know that the total tonnage of the Japanese Navy is only more than 70,000 tons, and the Combined Fleet accounts for more than 40,000 tons of it.

It is no exaggeration to say that after this battle, the naval force that Japan had painstakingly built up over the years was almost completely destroyed.

Japan's series of expansion and aggression plans were inseparable from the Combined Fleet.

Without the Japanese Combined Fleet, all plans would be castles in the air.

Emperor Meiji's face turned as pale as paper, veins popped out on his forehead, and he roared in anger: "Who can give me an explanation! Where did this mysterious fleet flying the 'Yanhuang' flag come from? Why has the existence of such a powerful military force never been mentioned in previous intelligence!"

The cabinet ministers looked at each other in confusion.

Someone murmured quietly: "I have never heard of it before..."

Another minister said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, only the Han people would hoist the banner of 'Yanhuang'. Even the Qing Dynasty might not act in this way. Could it be... Could it be that the Qing Dynasty has been overthrown?"

For a while, all kinds of speculations and discussions arose, but no one could give a definite answer.

"Rather than believing the contents of the telegram, I would rather believe that it was a joke by Ito Yuheng. Even though the combined fleet is not as powerful as the British, it will not be completely wiped out in such a short time!"

Just then, a new telegram was delivered.

Meiji opened it and stood up in surprise.

At the curiosity of other cabinet members, Meiji laughed: "The telegram said that the combined fleet appeared near the coast and was heading towards the harbor."

"That's great! It seems that the previous message was indeed conveyed incorrectly!"

"I never thought Ito Yuheng would make such a mistake. I was almost scared to death!"

"Haha, I knew it. With the strength of the combined fleet, how could they be completely wiped out?"
