On the pier in Osaka, there are already many soldiers in a hurry. Although the current rebels are armed with firearms, they still wear armor around their bodies. I don’t know if it is to defend against close combat, or they have already understood the concept of body armor. .
Just looking at the appearance of those little pawns, the armor is still a bit heavy.
"Send the abalone on the boat." Huang Xuan was referring to a boat he had just rented. Although the 800,000 taels of silver had been spent, Mr. Paul was happy to provide the Chinese with a large boat that could reach Tianjin Port. Of course, there were There are other goods.
Huang Xuan followed the boxes of abalone onto the boat. After the workers had laid the ice and stacked the boxes and tied them up, he turned and walked out of the hatch, locked it with his backhand, and said: "Don't open it at will before you get to China. To prevent the air conditioner from running away and damaging things.”
Several people smiled in understanding, and Huang Xuan responded with a bright smile. In an instant, all the abalones entered the plane passage. Now, even if the Japanese rebel, he is not afraid anymore.
Stepping back to the land, Mitsui and others smiled more and more humbly. Inoue Xin bowed and before saying anything, Huang Xuan waved his hand and said: "The drawings are all in the warehouse."
"Don't get wet." Inoue Kaoru was worried that her drawings would be damaged.
"How could it be?" Huang Xuan laughed, ignoring the strange looks from several people. He had already brought out several cubic meters of drawings, but no one knew where he got the drawings. Mitsui and others Although I didn’t ask, I was always suspicious.
In the warehouse are the remaining drawings of the steel plant and the drawings of a steamship. The latter is from an ordinary civilian movement model in the United States. Although it is not very advanced, it still makes the Japanese feel itchy.
Several British engineers walked into the warehouse without any scruples. Huang Xuan smiled and said: "When the appraisal is over, I will go to Edo to have a look." He looked careless again and shrugged. Shrugging his shoulders, he said to Paul: "Mr. Weimars, please send the things to Tianjin."
"No problem." The British man's eyes flashed with ecstasy, but Huang Xuan just didn't see it. Anyway, Abalone was already in the plane passage. No matter what bad intentions they had, they would let them go.
After drinking a cup of tea until it was tasteless, Inoue Kaori walked out of the warehouse with a smile on her face. Behind her was the Japanese new army with live ammunition. They escorted four or five carts of blueprints and walked out. Mitsui Takasui also jumped Then, when he looked at Huang Xuan, his eyes were different.
With a hint of pity in Huang Xuan's eyes, he mounted the horse and said, "In that case, I'll leave first."
With that said, he and Dian Wei, who jumped on the horse, walked out without saying hello to anyone again.
Mitsui Takasui raised his hand upwards, but did not fall down after all.
…
It’s the thirteenth day of P19.
It rained heavily.
The pouring rain turned the east of Shizuoka into God's shower room. The small earth bags raised above the ground seemed like isolated islands in the sea. The shrubs in the low-lying areas could only show their heads. If they were shorter, even the air would be gone. Can't breathe.
Huang Xuan blocked the rain with one hand, and with the other hand he rolled up hundreds of kilograms of biological bombs into a ball as tall as a person, and kicked it down from the top of Mount Fuji with one strong kick.
"Find a good place. Lorraine." Huang Xuan shouted in relief and wrapped himself in clothes. The temperature here was really not high.
"I have calculated the endurance of the earth's crust, and there is no problem." Lorraine replied while using energy to control the landing point of the biological bomb. Unless it is detonated artificially, the safety of the biological bomb is comparable to that of chastity pants, even under high temperature and high pressure. It is also difficult to deactivate the biomass in it, and of course, there is always a time limit.
Dian Wei looked at Huang Xuan in confusion and asked: "To which deity are you offering the steamed buns to?"
"Kitchen Lord." Huang Xuan breathed heavily and wiped the rain off his head with one hand.
…
Twenty-five thousand rebel troops advanced in heavy rain.
This was Japan's first modern army. The budding bushido spirit and strict military discipline allowed them to advance in the rain. The rain came so suddenly that they didn't even have time to set up camp, but Saigo Takamori was very happy.
This place is less than 100 miles away from Edo. A heavy rain turned the original march into a possible surprise attack. Wasn't it during that famous heavy rain that Oda Nobunaga began his dominance
The ground became increasingly muddy, and the horse's hooves got stuck in the mud from time to time. Saigo Takamori had to dismount and walk. Several lieutenants tried to hold him up, but were savagely thrown away. Saigo shouted loudly: "Ahead is Edo, the glory of the emperor, the glory of Japan, samurai, your glory, in one fell swoop..."
The lieutenants repeated loudly, and soon the whole army roared loudly. Reflecting the roar of thunder, Saigo Takamori felt his chest swell and he was filled with energy again.
The army's speed suddenly increased.
The thunder became louder and louder.
Huang Xuan, wearing a protective shield worth 1,000 yuan per minute, rushed towards Edo at high speed.
In Japan at the end of the 19th century, there were three political celebrities who determined Japan's fate to a certain extent: The first was naturally Emperor Meiji. His more decisive character and accurate judgment were important factors that made him happier than Guangxu of his neighboring country. The second one is Hirobumi Ito, who continued the Reform and enhanced Japan's national power, thus bringing it into the world club. The third one is Okubo Toshimichi, known as the dictator. He laid the foundation of Japanese diplomacy, which is equivalent to laying the foundation of the island country Japan. At the moment, these two people are traveling between Osaka and Kyoto, preparing for the upcoming Restoration.
In addition to these three political celebrities, Saigo Takamori and Waimoto Ryoma, as the Japanese's favorite civilian generals, also had a great impact on the Japanese military after the Restoration. According to Lorraine, there are many of energy income.
Ryoma Banmoto had been assassinated years ago. In Ito's words, he "fallen". Therefore, the responsibility and honor of attacking Edo fell on Saigo Takamori.
Even heavy rain cannot extinguish his passion.
"General, the baggage can't move any further." An officer trotted over through the mud and water, his clothes clinging to his body.
"Stop for a moment? General." The other officer was so speechless that water flowed down his face.
"Is there any place nearby to take shelter from the rain?" Xixiang Longsheng raised his hand, as if he wanted to give it to the officer, but for some reason he put it down again and said loudly: "Keep moving forward. When we find the place to camp, the rain will stop. , it’s better to take this opportunity and advance quickly.”
Several officers tried to talk again, but Saigo Takamori didn't stop. He kept his head down and hurried forward, shouting: "The baggage team is following behind, don't fall behind."
His military order was so strict that the first officer had no choice but to turn around and run back.
The heavy rain showed no sign of wanting to listen.
Huang Xuan rode forward desperately, and the anti-gravity had been increased to 65%. If it were increased further, he would jump up with a little force, like walking on the moon, but his speed would decrease.
But the quagmire still inevitably wrapped the horse's hooves.
After wiping his face, Huang Xuan turned to look at the dark night sky, imagining the location of Mount Fuji, and said loudly: "Lorraine, detonate it now."
"We can't escape here either."
"Then use your energy to support yourself. If you can't hold it anymore, go home." Huang Xuan also said in a bachelor's manner: "If you wait any longer, if there is a change, it will be wasted."
"Okay." Lorraine did not make his own decision. He finally said: "Once it detonates and the earth's crust ruptures, it will cause a major eruption in about 0 minutes."
"I got it." Huang Xuan pushed aside his wet hair. 0 minutes was only enough time to escape Edo. In fact, even if he did, it wouldn't make any difference.
…
The shogunate army stationed in Edo was also the last force in Tokugawa Yoshiki's hands. He divided it into two parts and deployed them randomly to the west and south of Edo. It was still the old-fashioned tactics of the Warring States Period, including his own. There is no hope of victory either.
early morning.
Tanaka Jiro is an old ashigaru in his 40s, with a dark face marked with dirt. The heavy rain last night kept them busy for half the night, and they fell asleep lazily at dawn. Their energy was obviously low at this moment. He bared his teeth, held up his pants, and walked from the tent to the woods. In the first two decisive battles, all the ashigaru in his team died. The newly recruited farmers couldn't even hold a gun. As for the samurai, those who survived either ran away or were packed into Tokugawa Qingxi's personal troops. His team didn't even have a flag. Except for eating with the march, few people took care of them.
When it came to the battle, no one paid attention to the Ashigaru who failed and surrendered. In short, they were all cannon fodder made up of farmers. The main reason why Tanaka Jiro didn't come and saw the overthrown troops was that he was carried away by the people around him in a daze. After going back and forth, he didn't even succeed in surrendering in Edo, but he had decided to wait until the shogunate troops came to kill him. Surrender, either follow the Cheung Chau Army, or go home and farm.
The veteran hummed a Guandong song, walked to the destination, took out the dick, brewed it for a while, and then squirted out in a confused manner.
The water column was thick and smelly, and had the strongest impact among his Ashigaru team. Tanaka Jiro proudly aimed at the grass under the roots of the tree, preparing to knock it down so that he could go back and sleep again.
Just after completing half of the task, the veteran suddenly felt that his aim was not accurate, and the water column began to sway left and right without obeying the order. He did not give up, and put both hands on it, preparing to control the rhythm. Inadvertently, the water column began to sway under his feet. , as if a cannon was smashing down.
Before they had time to think about it, the veteran fell down - this was what the Western teacher taught them. Tian learned the best and lived the longest. It was the second stunt he was proud of.
However, when the second stunt he was proud of met the first stunt he was proud of, Tanaka Jiro even wanted to die. He remembered that when he was a child, he went to the toilet and was beaten by samurai children. The scene of kicking down the latrine, then it was sinking and floating in a pile of excrement, but now it is in his own... Thinking of this, Tanaka's heart calmed down.
The ground shook more intensely, and there was a rumbling sound in his ears, but it was not the familiar Western cannon. It took a long time for Tanaka to raise his head, only to feel that his eyes were covered with gray. He looked towards the direction of Mount Fuji by accident, and saw that horrifying sight. But he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and he didn't even notice that the ammunition for his first stunt, which he was proud of, flowed into his mouth.
…
Huang Xuan found a shelter at the foot of the mountain and watched Mount Fuji's anger after being teased from the energy screen.
In the study of volcanic eruptions, people subdivide modern volcanic eruptions into three types: quiet, violent and intermediate.
The quiet type is a commonly seen form of modern volcanic eruptions. The lava slowly flows down the hillside, like a dog's tongue that has been overheated in the summer. The violent type is what people generally understand as a volcanic eruption - it occurs at extremes. A large amount of gas, volcanic ash and debris, as well as acidic magma are ejected in a short period of time. Among the four, the most deadly is volcanic ash.
Violent volcanic eruptions are also called Pelé type because on January 16, 1900, Mount Pelé in the West Indies erupted, killing 6,000 people. However, in the history of P19, it was already the most serious volcanic eruption in history. Change of ownership.
Saigo Takamori stood tall with a sword in his hand. His soldiers were queuing up to receive the pre-battle breakfast - cold rice with red beans and rice balls. Each person was also given a piece of salted fish, and there was an extra thumb-sized piece above the flag. Whether the kimchi is cabbage or radish depends on luck.
Two soldiers who had just joined the army from Yokohama panted heavily and came over carrying a pot of cold rice. These were all carried out by the heavy soldiers out of the rain. Today's food was the best in half a year, and it was only the food of the soldiers who had just returned from Osaka. Only troops that set out from a large city like this can have so many possessions.
Xixiang Takamori is not going to have dinner in the suburbs.
The rice pot was very heavy, and the two soldiers worked hard to eat it. Their faces turned red from holding back the rice. Several veterans laughed. One of them just stood up and wanted to say something, but suddenly he staggered and fell to the ground. onto others.
The rice pot hit the ground heavily. Saigo Takamori woke up from his fantasy and kicked the stumbling soldier away. He could no longer stand still.
"General, look." A junior colonel rushed up to support Saigo Takamori. The latter looked in the direction of his finger and froze immediately.
Even in the 1st century, the research on volcanoes was very superficial, but judging from the known data, not only volcanic eruptions can cause heavy rains, but heavy rainstorms can also easily cause volcanic eruptions. From the data searched in Lorraine, the world's More than 70% of the most dangerous volcanic eruptions are related to heavy rains.
When the earth's crust is no longer stable, as the magma will squeeze outward from below, a protruding dome will be formed on the side of the volcano. It may continue to produce small eruptions, but when these eruptions cannot be relieved When under pressure, the dome will continue to bulge and become extremely unstable. At this time, the severe cooling of the nearby environment may cause the dome to collapse within a few minutes.
Mount Fuji is a typical modern active volcano.
In more than four volcanic eruptions recorded by humans, vertical and intense volcanic material reached the stratosphere—a height of more than ten kilometers above the ground. This means that it is its territory within a range of thousands of kilometers, and within a range of 100 kilometers, the hope of survival is equivalent to that of an eight-magnitude earthquake.
Saigo Takamori looked at the awakening Mount Fuji with fearful eyes. It must have felt very angry when it was awakened. It has a very strong desire to launch. Even if it is viewed from 70 kilometers away, half of the field of vision is already like a chimney. The volcanic ash, in the thick shell, can be seen as a red flame reaching the sky like a pillar of the sky.
Countless warriors and soldiers knelt down.
The rain that had stopped began to flow again like God's diarrhea. That's because the upward movement of air causes water vapor to condense, and volcanic ash acts as a condensation nucleus, making it easier for these raindrops to fall.
Huge lightning flashed through the air.
Fear caused the orderly troops to become commotion.
Saigo Takamori dodged and covered half of his face, his expression full of sadness. The rolling lava and deadly volcanic ash were rolling in the sky. Everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Huang Xuan was also stunned as he looked at his masterpiece. Lorraine said extremely calmly: "The biological bombs in Osaka, Kyoto and Nijo Castle have been detonated. Judging from the current situation of Mount Fuji, it has the ability to spew more than 1 billion tons of volcanic material, enough to cover most of Kanto. , Edo no longer needs to think about it.”
"Good guy." Huang Xuan swallowed, as if he didn't hear it at all. He stared at the volcanic ash and toxic gases rising into the sky on the energy screen, and muttered to himself: "It's like the earth is having a morning erection." ( To be continued)
