The resistance of the Japanese people, like a spark, was gently blown by the wind and blossomed all over Japan.

The momentum of the people's rebellion exceeded everyone's expectations. In almost every town and village, there were rebellious people who robbed landlords, overthrew the government, and seized property, food, and weapons.

Originally, these people only looted some cold weapons, but as the situation developed, they broke into the government office and opened the warehouses. In addition to food and valuables, there were also a large number of cold weapons and muskets and cannons purchased by Su Yuan.

In some places, the rebellious civilians even incited the soldiers to rebel.

The Royal Palace of Fusang.

"Your Majesty, even according to incomplete statistics, the number of people who rebelled in Japan is as high as one million."

The minister, his entire body soaked in sweat, knelt before Su Yuan, trembling.

"what!"

Su Yuan was also surprised that these peasants were so bold, and the situation had already gotten out of control.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Su Yuan's expression hardened.

"Let the soldiers suppress the rebellion. All those who rebel shall be executed without exception."

"Ah~"

All the ministers were shocked by the king's decision. This involved a million people; if they were all killed, the history of Japan would definitely be set back a hundred years.

"Do as I say, and anyone who dares to resist will be executed as an accomplice."

Several ministers had originally intended to offer some kind words of advice, but upon hearing Su Yuan's words, they promptly shut their mouths.

The army quickly joined the suppression, without any attempt to persuade them to surrender. They fired cannons and muskets at full force, and soon these civilians, who had only taken up arms a few days earlier, were routed.

In just three days, 200,000 rebellious civilians were killed. If this trend continued, it was only a matter of time before the flames of resistance were extinguished.

. . . . . . .

Just when everyone thought the rebellion was doomed to fail, a young man stepped forward once again.

This person, using Kenshiro's name, called on all rebels to gather around him.

"Gentlemen, are we still human beings now? We are starving and cold, and every day when we open our eyes, we see our loved ones starving to death beside us, and we can't do anything about it."

“Su Yuan is a Gaoli person. He doesn’t even consider us Fusang people as human beings. What makes him qualified to be the ruler of our Fusang people?”

"Do you all remember when Kenshiro was looking for him? Although he was weak, he never gave up on fighting against Su Yuan. He just wanted us Japanese to be able to take charge of our own lives."

A young man who bore a resemblance to Kenshiro was giving a passionate speech, and his words deeply moved every Japanese person present.

After he finished his speech, many people in the audience signed up, expressing their willingness to join his cause and fight for the freedom of the Japanese.

Moreover, those who join are immediately given a brand-new musket, all of which hints at something unusual and a conspiracy.

. . . . . . .

South China Sea.

"My lord, things are as we predicted. Japan is in complete chaos. Kojiro's performance has been absolutely perfect."

Lin Niangzi reported the firsthand information to Zhou Wu, who nodded repeatedly.

That's right, the man who looks just like Kenshiro is called Kojiro. Zhou Wu specially recruited him and provided him with a lot of muskets. His goal was simple: to throw Japan into chaos so that Zhou Wu could reap the benefits in the end.

"That's good, but we still need to be careful not to support Kojiro too much, lest we lose one Su Yuan and another one comes along."

"Understood. We only provided muskets; we didn't give them any cannons or warships."

"Yes, that's right. With muskets, they have the means to fight back. If they want something better, they can just rob Su Yuan."

Zhou Wu had been monitoring everything in Fusang and had been planning to send troops to attack directly. However, to be honest, he hadn't found a suitable excuse. This rebellion of the people gave Zhou Wu a new idea: to support a force that would oppose them.

The number of rebels reached an astonishing one million in just a few days, which prompted Zhou Wu to accelerate his plans.

Ironically, Kojiro and Kenjiro not only look alike, but they are also related.

Kenshiro was unaware that he had relatives until he became famous, when he discovered that countless relatives came to rely on him.

To make up for the lack of family affection in his childhood, Kenshiro accepted everyone, including Kojiro's family. However, after Kenshiro's defeat and death, these relatives scattered like birds and beasts.

Only Kojiro continued to use Kenshiro's identity to operate in southern Japan, which was Kenshiro's stronghold.

Sure enough, Kojiro was quite eloquent, and he actually managed to organize several hundred bandits. However, with that kind of strength, they were no match for Su Yuan at all.

At this time, a peasant rebellion occurred, and Kojiro felt that this was an opportunity. So he personally found the South China Sea Fleet, which had been patrolling the waters near Fusang. After revealing his identity, the South China Sea Fleet's navy did not dare to act on its own and reported it to Lady Lin.

When Lin Niangzi saw Kojiro, she was first taken aback, because she had seen Kenjiro before and at first glance thought it was Kenjiro himself.

Kojiro directly stated his purpose, hoping to gain Zhou Wu's support. Lady Lin, of course, knew what Zhou Wu was thinking, so she acted first and reported later, giving all the muskets of the accompanying fleet to Kojiro to solve the immediate problem before reporting to Zhou Wu.

Upon hearing Lin Niangzi's report, Zhou Wu immediately agreed and instructed her to send another batch of guns to Kojiro as soon as possible.

With someone willing to act as a henchman, what reason would Zhou Wu have not to comply?

. . . . . . . .

Fuso.

*Smack!*

Su Yuan slammed the exquisite porcelain teacup to the ground and roared angrily.

"Someone tell me what's going on, where did these peasants get their muskets?"

Although the rebels numbered in the millions, Su Yuan never took the matter to heart, since he had everything he needed—firearms, cannons, and everything else—while the rebels were just a bunch of farmers with hoes.

But it was precisely this group of farmers who, incidentally, transformed into well-equipped soldiers armed with muskets, successively defeated Su Yuan's regular army, and even occupied southern Japan, which was originally Kenshiro's stronghold, with the force of a prairie fire.

Furthermore, news came that the leader of these peasants' rebellion was a descendant of Kenshiro. Upon hearing this news, Su Yuan could no longer sit still.

He wasn't afraid of rebellion, but he was afraid that these rebels would have a leader, which would be troublesome.

Especially in the southern region, Kenshiro's prestige remains.

What's even more frightening is where these people got their muskets from? Could it be Zhou Wu again?
