Chapter 1571 Great Cleaning

In the dense gunshots, a big purge kicked off at this moment!

But in fact, this whole operation is simply a blitzkrieg.

No doubt Miyamoto Shingen was well prepared, and at the same time, Uesugi Ryu was by no means the only officer who responded to his call.

At the moment when the signal was sent, many officers in the Eighth Army Corps of the Imperial Army acted at the same time, allowing Miyamoto Shingen to take control of the Eighth Army overnight, and at the same time completed a bloody wave of Clean!

However, this is just the beginning.

The city where the Eighth Legion of their Imperial Army is stationed is adjacent to the capital.

Before everyone could react, the Eighth Army, which occupied the railway station, rushed to the capital, and officially arrived at the capital railway station at four in the morning the next day.

At that time, the Eleventh Legion, which was in charge of the resident capital, was directly attacked by the Eighth Legion without even receiving the news.

At the same time, the most important thing is that inside the 11th Corps, there are officers who responded to Miyamoto Shingen's call, and the other party is even a lieutenant colonel.

Under the cooperation of the two sides, the 11th Legion, which was caught by surprise, completely disintegrated internally, and it was completely defeated without even showing much resistance.

During this period, the inside of the Emperor's Palace, which received the news, can be said to be in chaos.

Frightened and angry, Yamamoto Yoshikazu almost transferred all the guards in his palace to the surrounding of the main hall to protect himself.

However, the number of the Praetorian Guards, no matter how large, can they go? One or two thousand is almost sky-high.

On the other hand, on the 8th and 11th legions, even after a major purge, their troops are still at the legion level.

Not to mention the Imperial Guard of the palace, it will only be more unbearable than the Imperial Army.

On weekdays, the Imperial Army still has to undergo rigorous training, and this Guard Army has now become a place where a lot of officials and second-generation officials have mixed seniority.

On an average of ten janissaries, at least six have backgrounds.

And these young masters are rowing in the water on weekdays and don't train or something, can their immediate bosses really train them? The parents stood up one by one, and the officials were older than him. Anyone who stumbled on him could make him unable to eat and walk around.

In this way, for them, the commander of the Imperial Guard is basically turning one eye and closing one eye. Occasionally, when His Majesty the Emperor asks, it is natural to say it for the better.

Anyway, after so many years, nothing has happened, not to mention the soldiers under his command, even the commander of the Guards has changed dozens of times. Looking through history, there is really no time when they are really needed. Going to the battlefield to fight, or to defend against foreign enemies.

The Praetorian Guard is a flashy force, and it is almost the consensus of the military that they are used to set up battles for His Majesty the Emperor to show their majesty.

In this way, the gate of the Emperor's Palace was quickly blasted open by cannons.

Stepping on the bodies of countless Janissaries, a large number of soldiers from the Eighth Army and Eleventh Army rushed into the palace with rifles, but the result was surprising...

There was no one in the palace guarded by the Janissaries.

In this regard, Miyamoto Shingen directly arrested a few live guards and came to ask questions.

But for this situation, the other party is also in disbelief, and even has a feeling of being deceived.

His Majesty the Emperor is not in the palace they are guarding, so why did they die so many brothers?

Miyamoto Shingen, who had confirmed the information, quickly cleared his mind.

Yoshikazu Yamamoto was definitely in this palace before, this is confirmed information.

After that, their army surrounded the palace, in other words, the people inside could not get out.

Then, the answer is obvious, the other party is either still hiding somewhere in this palace, or there is a secret passage inside the palace, and their Majesty the Emperor escaped from the secret passage.

To be honest, Miyamoto Shingen is more inclined to the latter, because there is really no place to hide people in this palace.

"Colonel, this place is empty!"

Due to the construction work in his early years, Uesugi Ryu also vaguely sensed something wrong when he walked somewhere in the palace. After some beating, he decisively found that the bottom was actually empty.

"Open this piece!"

With an order, several soldiers around came up to hold hands.

Soon, a dark corridor leading to the underground appeared in front of everyone.

Needless to say, he directly signaled that Uesugi Ryu would also bring a troop and follow the tunnel to catch up to take a look, while Miyamoto Shingen himself, with the remaining troops, occupied the Emperor's Palace.

The entire ladder leading to the underground is trapezoidal, so they do not know how many meters underground they are at this time.

Anyway, about ten minutes after descending the stairs, the road in front of me finally calmed down.

After walking for about five or six minutes, an iron gate blocked their way.

"No, this door is locked from the other side."

The soldier under his command who confirmed the situation said so.

In this regard, Uesugi Ryuuya, who obviously did not intend to consume this door, naturally chose to use violence to unlock it.

I have to say that sometimes simple and rude, many things can be solved.

After that, I followed the underground passage all the way, and finally found that this secret passage was actually connected to the sewer of the capital...

This is troublesome. The sewers extending in all directions are indeed a good place for those who escape, but they are not very friendly to the party who is chasing and killing them.

There is no other way, at this time, the only option is to start a carpet-like search, and at the same time let a soldier under his command return to the palace to report the situation.

At the same time, on the other side, Miyamoto Shingen, who stayed in the Emperor's Palace, was also busy with the follow-up arrangements.

This time, he contacted a group of like-minded officers to join forces.

The main members are concentrated in the Eighth Army and the Eleventh Army.

However, in addition to these two legions, there is also the 13th Army Corps currently stationed on this island!

They had taken a quick-fix approach, captured the capital at the fastest speed, and captured the Emperor's Palace. Naturally, it was impossible for them to have time to confirm the attitude of the 13th Army Corps.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain proper vigilance.

And just when Miyamoto Shingen thought so, a soldier under Uesugi Ryuya had already turned back down the tunnel and made a report on the following situation.

After listening to the report, Miyamoto Shingen quickly thought of what had just happened.

"In the current situation, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to escape, I am afraid there is only one way to survive, and that is to go to the Thirteenth Army Corps..."
