Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

On December 1905, 12, one month after Tokugawa Yoshiki died of illness, he was buried in Mount Aso on Kyushu Island.

All countries sent envoys to attend Tokugawa's funeral.

Among them, Daxia had the highest standards. He directly sent Li Fu to attend the funeral, which was worthy of Tokugawa's celebration.

And just after the funeral, before the special envoys from various countries dispersed, Tokugawa Yoshihiro jumped out to accuse Tokugawa Keiji and was disrespectful to Tokugawa.

He did not fulfill his duty of care when Tokugawa Yingxi was seriously ill.

At the same time, it was also pointed out that Tokugawa Keiji betrayed the interests of the Fuso Kingdom, and when Tokugawa Keiki was seriously ill and unable to take care of himself, he faked Tokugawa Keiki's order and signed an armistice agreement with the Meiji government.

Such remarks would of course annoy Meiji, but Tokugawa Yoshihiro didn't care.

In his opinion, Meiji did not dare to go to war with Fuso because of this. At the same time, he also felt that he had the support of Koizumi Jiro and had enough strength to deal with various situations.

When Meiji's special envoy heard Tokugawa's remarks, he immediately stood up and refuted, saying that the armistice agreement signed by Meiji and the Tokugawa shogunate was true and effective.

There is no such thing as a private signing.

And Tokugawa Yoshihiro's remarks are just to sow discord between the two sides, and the consequence of doing so is that it is very likely that war will continue to break out.

Tokugawa Yoshihiro dismissed the threat of war from the Meiji envoy, and at the same time said that he did not have time to deal with Meiji's affairs yet.

Now he needs to punish Tokugawa Keiji. If Meiji understands the situation, he will just stay aside. Only after dealing with Tokugawa Keiji will he consider his relationship with Meiji again.

And Tokugawa Keiji's remarks about Tokugawa Zenshi, who was also very big, also stood up and accused Tokugawa Zenshi of making things out of nothing.

He was obviously by Tokugawa Keiki's side when he was seriously ill.

At the same time, there are some elders of the Tokugawa family who can testify.

On the contrary, Tokugawa Yoshiji, the second son, did not visit Tokugawa Yoshiki several times after he became seriously ill.

Instead, they began to contact military officers abroad to prepare for rebellion.

Faced with Tokugawa Keiji's accusations, Tokugawa Keiji naturally completely denied it.

Frankly speaking, he was not able to accompany Tokugawa Qingxi. It was entirely because Tokugawa Keiji deliberately prevented his sons from seeing Tokugawa Qingxi in order to control Tokugawa Qingxi.

What he was afraid of was that if his sons saw Tokugawa Qingxi, they would ruin Tokugawa Keiji's good deeds.

At the same time, Tokugawa Yoshiji also made it clear for the first time that he hoped that the Tokugawa family stationed abroad could unite to oppose the tyranny of Tokugawa Keiji.

Not to be outdone, Tokugawa Keiji also began to call on all ministries to unite under his command as the future shogun to defeat the rebel Tokugawa Yoshiji.

For a moment, the whole world was in an uproar, and all countries did not expect that they could watch such a big show just by sending people to attend a Tokugawa funeral.

So the special envoys from various countries did not leave, but wanted to stay in Nagasaki and watch the excitement.

Of course, he knew that the special envoy would not stay in Nagasaki, because he also knew that his status was special.

At this chaotic time, if you stay in Nagasaki, you might get shot.

So Meiji's special envoy chose to watch the excitement at Shimonoseki on the other side of the strait.

In such a chaotic situation, the special envoys of several countries are also very busy.

For example, envoys from the Kingdom of John, the Kingdom of Gaul, and the Kingdom of Millenia were all visited by Tokugawa.

No one knows what Tokugawa Zenshi said to them, but it is obvious that after their secret talks, these countries began to favor Tokugawa Zenshi.

Faced with Tokugawa's aggressiveness, Tokugawa Keiji also began to have contact with Li Fu.

Li Fu, who had been instructed by Lin Yi long ago, naturally began to encourage Tokugawa Keiji to start a war with Tokugawa Shanshi.

And Tokugawa Keiji, a second-rate idiot, heard that Daxia also supported him, so he also started to gather the army.

Almost overnight, the situation on Kyushu Island began to become serious.

In order to prevent Meiji from coming out to pick peaches at this time, Lin Yi ordered the Yinglong fleet to station in the waters off Kyushu Island.

As long as Meiji makes any changes at this time, the Yinglong fleet can beat him without any scruples.

The current Yinglong fleet is even stronger than when the war first ceased.

Counting the previously captured battleships, the Yinglong fleet during this period had 8 battleships, 18 cruisers, 2 ironclads, and more than 20 frigates.

It has grown into the most powerful maritime military force in East Asia.

Even Milician and John State did not dare to challenge the Yinglong Fleet in East Asia, let alone Meiji, which only had four battleships.

Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the empire's industry and the continuous launch of new warships, the strength of Yinglong's fleet will become stronger and stronger.

Meiji, who originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity, immediately gave up the idea of ​​​​taking advantage when he saw the main force of the Yinglong fleet arriving in the waters off Kyushu Island.

After suppressing Meiji, the Yinglong fleet did not interfere too much with the situation on Kyushu Island.

After all, this time, Lin Yi and the others wanted to push Koizumi Jiro to power. If the Tokugawa family was not in civil strife, Koizumi Jiro would have no chance at all.

Strictly speaking, the empire's role in the Tokugawa family's civil strife was not very glorious.

But Lin Yi said it didn't matter. Everything he was doing now was for the future prosperity of the empire. What's wrong?

Everyone in the Tokugawa family has their own ideas, and they are not all that honest. After all, they have served as shoguns in Sakura Country for hundreds of years, and they are still very prestigious in the eyes of the older generation.

What they want to do is not easy.

On the other hand, Koizumi Jiro came from a humble background. Without the support of the empire, it was difficult for him to suppress his internal conflicts.

Lin Yi didn't want to destroy Sakura Country at this time. After all, he still needed to consider the international situation.

Therefore, the best way at the moment is to divide the Sakura Country, which is how the Meiji Government and the Tokugawa Shogunate came into being.

On Tokugawa's side, Lin Yi was not at ease, so he had to recommend Koizumi Jiro to power.

With the help from Daxia, the current Kyushu Island has turned into a mess.

In early March 1906, Tokugawa Yoshiji thought he was fully prepared, so he took the initiative to launch an attack on Tokugawa Keiji.

Tokugawa Keiji had no choice but to let his troops fight back.

As the civil war between the Tokugawa family began, various countries began to take sides.

The first is the John Empire. The Gallic Empire very obviously supports Tokugawa's good deeds and promises to provide weapons and loan support to Tokugawa's good deeds.

Under the instruction of Daxia, the Hans Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to support Tokugawa Keiji, and similarly stated that they would provide weapons to Tokugawa Keiji.

The Rakshasa Kingdom, as a troublemaker, was just like Daxia, saying nothing and remaining neutral.

Daxia was because he supported Jiro Koizumi. Before Jiro Koizumi came to the front desk, Daxia would remain silent.

The reason for the Rakshasa Kingdom is that its own domestic counter-insurgency war is reaching a critical moment, and the Rakshasa Kingdom now has no energy to care about other countries.

As for Mingzhi, he had no choice, because Daxia pinned him to his seat from the beginning and did not allow him to take any action at all.
