Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

As Meiji's order was issued, the originally closed palace door was pushed open, and a group of palace guards ran out from the door.

They quickly came to Nonaka Shiro and surrounded him.

Minato Uhei walked out from behind the crowd and came directly in front of Nonaka Shiro. He began to look at Shiro Nonaka, who was surrounded by people, but his expression did not change at all.

"Are you the rebel leader Nonaka Shiro?" Minato Uhei asked, looking at Nonaka Shiro whose expression remained unchanged.

After hearing Minato Youbei's question, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Minato Youbei and nodded.

"Then let's go, His Majesty is waiting for you in the palace." Minato Youbei said in a bad tone.

When Shiro Nonaka heard what Minato Uhei said, he didn't say anything, just raised his feet and walked towards the palace.

Along the way, the guards stationed in the palace looked at Nonaka Shiro with bad eyes.

However, Nonaka Shiro didn't care about this. He followed Minato Youhei and walked towards where Meiji was.

Within a few minutes, Nonaka Shiro arrived outside the palace where Meiji was.

Nonaka Shiro wanted to go in, but was stopped by the attendants guarding outside the palace gate.

"Your Excellency, please hand over your gun and saber!" the guard said expressionlessly.

Nonaka Shiro was obviously stunned for a moment, but he still handed over his pistol and saber to the guard on the side.

But those guards obviously didn't want to believe Nonaka Shiro, and immediately another guard came over and searched Nonaka Shiro.

After knocking Nonaka Shiro down all over his body and making sure that he had no other weapons, Nonaka Shiro was allowed to enter the palace.

When Nonaka Shiro entered the palace, he saw Meiji had changed his clothes and was kneeling on the imperial steps.

"Are you Shiro Nonaka? The leader of the rebels outside the palace now?" Meiji, who was in his fifties, looked at Shiro Nonaka with a calm and confident attitude.

"Your Majesty, my minister is Nonaka Shiro, but the minister is not a rebel." Nonaka Shiro knelt down in front of Meiji and explained the name.

"It's ridiculous, you've already occupied my Kyoto, and you still say you're not a rebel?" Meiji sneered and looked at Nonaka Shiro.

"Your Majesty, I am doing this for the sake of the empire and your majesty. I hope your majesty will allow me to report it." After saying this, Shiro Nonaka lowered his head.

"Then I'll listen to your thoughts. Just tell me." Meiji snorted coldly and then said to Nonaka Shiro.

"Thank you Your Majesty, but before I tell you, I would like to ask Your Majesty a question. Isn't Your Majesty curious about what the other troops stationed in Kyoto are doing now?" Shiro Nonaka looked at Meiji with a hint of ridicule on his face.

Mingzhi was obviously stunned when he heard what Shiro Nonaka said. He didn't know what Shiro Nonaka meant when he mentioned other troops guarding Kyoto at this time.

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, at this moment, the divisions responsible for guarding Kyoto are still standing still."

"Even some squadrons and brigades that were originally in the city have withdrawn from Kyoto. Why did this happen before, Your Majesty?"

When Meiji heard what Nonaka Shiro said, he didn't know what he should say. He just looked at Nonaka Shiro quietly, waiting for his next words.

But what is certain is that Meiji's face at this time is definitely very ugly.

Although he guessed that there was a problem with the divisions guarding Kyoto, he did not expect that the problem was so serious.

Even the troops who were originally guarding the city were evacuated from Kyoto, which made him feel incredible.

However, no matter what Meiji said, he was still Tianhuang, and he couldn't show a frightened expression.

So Meiji just quietly waited for Nonaka Shiro's next words.

"Actually, I didn't understand it at first, but I figured it out on the way to the palace."

"Because these people have already guessed Wei Chen's intentions. At the same time, they also support Wei Chen and hope to take over Wei Chen's hand and get rid of some people."

"Then, after the Weichen loses their use value, we will eliminate the Weichen. In this way, they can remove themselves from the whole thing and achieve their desired goals."

Nonaka Shiro said slowly, with that calm tone, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

"Then what do you, or rather, you want?" Meiji gritted his teeth and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is only one thing we want. The empire is facing difficulties now and needs a stronger cabinet!"

"The current Shinzo Yamada cabinet can no longer meet the needs of the empire. They are too weak!"

"Your Majesty must also be aware of the dilemma the empire is facing now. The Gaoli and Yizhou we finally obtained are now facing threats from the Daxia people."

"Such a situation requires the empire to concentrate its full strength and unite as one to overcome it. But the weak Yamada cabinet actually wants to compromise with Daxia. We cannot accept such a thing."

"That's why what happened now. What we need is to use our blood to awaken His Majesty!" As he spoke, Nonaka Shiro bowed deeply to Meiji again.

Upon hearing Shiro Nonaka's words, Meiji's brows all smacked together.

"You say it lightly, but do you know that now the empire's navy has failed, and we are unable to break through the Daxia people's blockade at sea." Meiji said coldly.

"Wei Chen knows, but this is not the reason for the empire to bow to Daxia."

"We can still fight. The empire still has a population of hundreds of millions, and the number of suitable soldiers is millions or even tens of millions!" Nonaka Shiro said to Meiji in the same confrontation.

"What's the use of having so many people? Do you want the soldiers of the empire to swim across the strait without the cover of a battleship?"

"Your Majesty, even without the cover of battleships, the warriors of the empire will not bow to Daxia. As you said, even if they swim, the warriors of the empire can swim to Goryeo!"

"Taking a step back, even if we don't go to Goryeo, we can still fight on our own! The warriors of the empire are willing to repay the kindness of the king." Shiro Nonaka said in a deep voice, shouting the slogan of "Jade Breaking".

After hearing what Shiro Nonaka said, Meiji sank.

This is not because Meiji was persuaded by Nonaka Shiro, but Meiji himself actually prefers to continue fighting Daxia.

In his opinion, what can Daxia do no matter how powerful he is? Sakura is the empire's inherent territory. Fighting here, they have a popular base.

The reason why he agreed to a truce with Shinzo Yamada before was just because Shinzo Yamada was a hero of his new deal and helped him push to the rule of the shogunate.

The second point is that if you want to fight decisively in the mainland, then for ordinary people, as long as the war reaches the mainland, it will inevitably cause casualties to ordinary people.

This order cannot be proposed by Meiji himself, and the most suitable candidate should be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

However, Prime Minister Shinzo Yamada is a very calm person. He would rather give up some benefits to ensure the integrity of the local industrial park.

Because Yamada Shinzo knew very well that only by retaining the integrity of local industry could it be possible to catch up with Daxia.

Once the local modern industry is damaged, it will become a slogan if they want to catch up with Daxia.

Therefore, in Yamada Shinzo's mind, no matter how many Goryeo and Yizhou there are, they will not be as good as the mainland.

He wanted to ensure that no matter how far the war went, not a single artillery shell would be dropped on the mainland.

However, neither the top military officials nor Meiji could understand his idea for this month.

So, in the end, Yamada was assassinated, and the divisions guarding Kyoto chose to stand aside and even withdraw their troops, allowing the rebels to have free reign.

After all conservatives like Yamada are dead, these radicals will come out to clean up the mess.

And Nonaka Shiro is just a pawn in their hands.
