August.
In 4 months, the Northern Expedition Army went north along the Bailong River from the Bailong Governor's Mansion, and directly hit the five last big cities in the upper reaches of the Bailong River.
The distance from Wusuo to the furry empire Kyoto is not far, just over 370 kilometers.
It is almost equivalent to Gyeonggi City, the capital of China, to Jeju, the capital city of Qilu Province.
The beast-eared troops with spears and spears controlled by the Prime Minister Xunquan were naturally not the opponents of the Bailongjiang Northern Expedition Army who had already completed the entire army's transformation.
Although Xunquan dispatched troops in Liuzhang's territory, he rushed to King Qin in Kyoto.
However, with the fierce offensive of the Northern Expedition Army and the defeat of the Qin Wang army, it was no longer feasible for Xunquan to obtain a government decree.
Under Liuzhang, the provinces chose to sit on the wall and close the White Dragon Army in response to the Northern Expedition, and make a decision when the situation changes.
After the Northern Expedition Army arrived at the fifth place, it did not intend to move forward, but temporarily rested.
At the same time, Governor Wei also arranged for Xunquan's eldest son, Kaoru Tsukasugi, the president of the alumni association, to go to Kyoto, trying to persuade Xunquan to surrender his power and surrender to the White Dragon Governor's Mansion.
Kaoruzusugi is also brave and bold. Relying on his identity as the eldest son of Kaoruquan, Kaoruzusugi does not believe that his father will allow the people below him to hurt him.
When Kaoruzuka Sugi arrived in Kyoto, it was already mid-August.
In Kaoruzusugi's eyes, with Liuichi's "drowning" and the division of the empire, the entire Kyoto has no longer been as prosperous as it once was.
The city walls are full of warriors with weapons, and above the walls are warning lights.
On the streets, there were no more people who came and went when they left before studying abroad.
No one opened the shops, no stalls were set up, just like what Huaxia books said, it was a depression.
In today's Kyoto, apart from being awe-inspiring, there is no human touch at all.
Kaoruzusugi did not go to the palace, but went straight back to his home.
The stone sculpture at the door was still standing there, and the guard at the door looked at Kaoru Tsukasa who was dressed in a suit and had changed a lot. After scrutinizing it for a while, he finally recognized it.
"My God, it's the eldest son! The eldest son is back! Hurry up and tell the prime minister!"
The attendants didn't know that Xunzhong Shan joined the White Dragon Governor's Mansion in the south, and they didn't even know that Xun Zuka Shan was a member of the Northern Expedition.
They hurriedly reported the news back to the house, while Kaoru Quan, who was waiting for Kaoruzuka Sugi to return home, snorted coldly, "Let that kid come to the study to see me."
"Yes!"
Kaoruzukasugi came to the door of the study, stood there for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "It's that familiar feeling again."
Whenever Kaoruzukasugi made a mistake, Kaoruquan would always be called to the study and criticized severely.
Of course, if there is any major decision in the family, Xunquan will also be called to the study as the eldest son, and the father and son will discuss the big plan.
The study room is a rare alone space for father and son.
With a "crunch", Kaoru Tsukasa slowly pushed open the door of the study, and a ray of sunlight immediately poured in from outside the door.
However, the study in front of him is no longer the study it used to be. There is a fluorescent lamp hanging on the roof, and on the desk, there is also a table lamp imported from Huaxia.
Looking at the table again, although the brush is still there, the fountain pen and signature pen occupy a large corner.
The letter placed on the table is a letter from Kaoru Tsukasugi to Kaoruquan, stating that he will represent the Northern Expedition Army and the White Dragon Governor's Office to negotiate with Kaoruquan.
Behind the desk, the old father still sat firmly in the chair of the Grand Master, even though the Northern Expedition soldiers were less than 400 kilometers away from Kyoto, he was still so calm.
Xunquan raised his head and looked at Xunzukasugi at the door, opened his mouth and said, "Are you back?"
"Um."
"come in."
Kaoruzukasugi nodded, walked in, and gently closed the study room with a creak.
Looking at Xunzukasugi under the sunlight, with a straight suit, Xunquan couldn't help laughing: "It's good to be dressed in Chinese formal clothes, so you can learn the same way as Chinese people."
Although dressed in modern clothes, Kaoruzuka Sugi gave Kaoruquan a traditional furry gift: "Father, you are overrated."
Kaoru Quan's eyes also became much kinder, staring at Kaorizuka Sugi's rosy cheeks and the body in a suit, with a hint of muscle outline.
Under the care of his parents, Xunquan said slowly: "Son, you have grown strong, what are you doing in the White Dragon Governor's Mansion?"
Kaoruzusugi immediately replied: "The government affairs department leads the modernization of the White Dragon Governor's Mansion."
After all, Kaoruquan came from the military. In his original plan, all his sons should join the army.
Xunquan couldn't help shaking his head: "It's a pity that you have a strong body that was trained in Huaxia. The Imperial Army just bought a batch of tricycles from Huaxia. It's a pity that you don't ride a tricycle and go to government affairs, son. ."
"This… "
Kaoruzukasugi didn't expect that his father, as always, liked to joke around, to liven up the atmosphere, so that the relationship between the two sides would not be so tense.

Kaoruquan's finger lightly touched the letter from Kaoruzukasugi on the table, opened his mouth and continued: "I understand your purpose, let me surrender.
The Northern Expedition Army is well-equipped, and its troops are fierce. In addition, the provinces are constantly changing orders and protecting themselves. They have formed 'little princes'. I don't believe that these armies under my command will be the opponents of the Northern Expedition Army.
Surrender, no problem.
But son, think about it, if I surrender to you, then only death awaits me.
Wei wants to clear the side of the king, and the side of the king is not someone else, but your father.
Even if I surrender my power, Wei will not let me go..."
Kaoru Tsukasugi trembled slightly, but what his father said was very reasonable. What Wei wanted was the Qingjun side, and he was in charge of the overall situation, and then promoted the modernization of the country and finally completed the unification of the furry empire.
He wanted to be a minister of power, so he naturally had to grab the power from the hands of other officials.
Political struggle, this is your life and death, it is quite cruel.
However, Kaoruzusugi's thinking has returned to his original intention. Only when Kaoruquan, the prime minister of the "Furry Empire", is driven out, can modernization begin in Liuzhang's territory.
And the classmates can use the skin of the White Dragon Governor's House to develop their own strength, and finally play a dove to occupy the magpie's nest, overthrow the monarchy, and establish a republic.
What Governor Reed is doing now is exactly what Kaoruzuka Sugi planned in his great ideal.
Just when Kaoruzusugi was about to make up his mind and follow his own heart, Kaoruquan clicked on the bookshelf next to the desk.
Kaoruzukasugi quickly forgot his gaze and saw that many books by "Zhou Shuren" were on the bookshelf.
Kaoruzukasugi was suddenly surprised. Has Kaoruquan read the book he wrote
He only heard Xunquan pointing at the book, and said unhurriedly, "Zhou Shuren, hehehe, it's a pretty good pen name.
Overthrow the imperial power and implement a republic.
After being influenced by the Chinese, it seems that you have an incredible goal.
Do you plan to create a glorious deed that no one has ever seen before? "
Kaoruzukasugi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly opened: "Dad, have you seen it?"
Xunquan chuckled: "Of course, after all, it's the book written by my son."
Immediately afterwards, Xunquan continued: "But after I step down, the White Dragon Governor's Mansion is in charge of the imperial court, and the mountain of the monarch is still on your head.
At the end of the day, you will still have to fight with each other, which will be detrimental to the country and the people. "
Kaoruzuka Sugi was taken aback, what did the old father mean
Before Kaoruzukasugi could speak, Kaoruquan continued: "The death of the late emperor is inseparable from the faction I represent.
Although this incident was not instructed by me, but by the radicals below, once the person at the sticky pole investigates a little clue, the blame will be directed at me after all.
As a person raised by the late emperor, Wei naturally would not let me go.
After all, he and I are enemies. "
Kaoruzukasugi frowned, and it turned out that Ryuichi's death was because of the furry conservatives who opposed reform.
And his father, obviously became the top person, after all, his position is the highest.
At this time, Xunquan's words sounded faintly in Xunzhongshan's ears: "Anyway, we can't resist the Northern Expedition. Instead of surrendering to Reed, it is better to accomplish my son's great cause."
Kaoruzukasugi was stunned for a moment, staring at Kaoruquan with a look of surprise, what does this mean
"Father?"
The corners of Xunquan's mouth rose slightly, and he said slowly: "I can use the power in my hands and those who are loyal to me.
We united to force Liu Zhang to abdicate.
Isn't it a republic, I'm here to be the interim president of the republic.
I'm on it, and the members of your classmates will be able to carry out your ideal reforms to the entire empire.
Instead of being cautious under the White Dragon Governor's Mansion, it is better to get out. I will give you a bigger world, a bigger stage, and let you show all your talents, your ideals, and your ambitions. "
Kaoruzukasugi trembled, Kaoruquan's actions were completely beyond his imagination, this happiness came a little too soon, right
Overthrow the rule of Liuzhang and establish a republic belonging to all the classmates and all the beast ears.
Kaoruquan's voice lingered in Kaoruzukasugi's ears over and over again like a temptation from a demon.
