"Military Master, do you want to go out to attend the Lantern Festival lantern festival?" Ella saw Chu Yun pace back and forth in the front hall, knowing what he was thinking.

"I want to go out and see the lively lantern festival in the capital. But the last incident in Nanjing... Once someone wants to assassinate me, not only will I lose my life, but China, which is not yet a solid piece, may be split again." Chu Yun said worriedly.

Before he could establish a telegraph network, railway network, and water network that maintained this huge empire. If he was assassinated without forming strong control, the inevitable result would be to split into several pieces again.

"I have contacted the people from the Intelligence Department. They blocked the streets of the Lantern Festival early in the morning. People entering the Lantern Festival area must go through body searches to prevent anyone from bringing muskets into the venue. Moreover, the intelligence department of the store in the Lantern Festival area has conducted a search and confiscated firearms, so that area should be safe." Ella said.

Isn't this the security check later? Chu Yun couldn't help but admire Ella for thinking of this idea: "You are such a clever little ghost, but why did you contact the Intelligence Department again and don't have a good rest? You know that Ling'er has been making trouble for more than ten nights, and you haven't had a good night's sleep, and your dark circles are about to come out."

"Aira knew that the military leader would celebrate the Lantern Festival every year, so he did not dare to neglect it." Aira said.

"Then let's go." Chu Yun knew that since Ella had regained her influence in the Intelligence Department, the Intelligence Department must have been secretly coming out.

Although he went out by himself, he only brought a dozen guards with him, in the secret, there may be dozens of plainclothes from the intelligence department to protect him.

"Do you need to bring Ling'er?" Ella asked.

"Take it with him and let him feel the atmosphere of our traditional festivals, and don't let him forget the roots of this culture." Chu Yun said.

"Where did your father go?"

Chu Yun saw that Nelson was not there, so he asked Ella.

"He went to drink with a few people from the Admiralty..." Ella said.

"Let him pay attention to his health. He is familiar with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Europe. In the future, he will have to rely on him to control the Atlantic Ocean route." Chu Yun said. If he asked his father-in-law to fight Europe, Chu Yun is probably the first person in history.

"Yeah." Ella nodded and went out with Chu Yun with her child in her arms.

Shimazu Kokusa, a group of envoys from the anti-scene coalition, were also at the lantern festival. In order to cater to this atmosphere, they had to wear Hanfu, otherwise it would appear too alternative. During the Shangyuan Festival in southern Liaoning, Shimazu Kokusa was still wearing Japanese samurai uniforms, but now he has lowered his noble head and feels that wearing Hanfu is a matter of course.

"Shimazu-kun, do you think it is beneficial to our families to accept the proposal of the Kyushu Army? Or is it more in our interests to submit to the shogunate again?" The envoy of the Maori family asked Shimazu Kokuha.

"Do you think we fought a war with the shogunate for three years, killing the shogunate samurai and tens of thousands of soldiers, and even several of the Tokugawa family's important officials fell. Once we surrender, how will they deal with us?" Shimazu Kokuha said, "And you have studied in the Academy of Sciences in southern Liaoning before. Knowing that the strength of the Kyushu Army is not even able to play with them. We surrender to the shogunate again and face the huge Kyushu Army, the behemoth."

"But Shimazu-kun, the Kyushu army planned to turn our Japan into a province, which is too much. Although we have always been a vassal state, we are commensurate with countries after all, and if we become a province, will our status decline?" The envoy of the Maori family was a little depressed.

The Kyushu Army proposed to the Overlord Alliance the idea of ​​turning Japan into a province, which made the Overlord Alliance very uncomfortable. Accepting the proposal of the Kyushu Army, Japan is likely to be reduced from a vassal state to a province from then on. Rejecting the proposal of the Kyushu Army, the Overlord Alliance is likely to be swallowed up by the gradually strengthened shogunate.

"I have repeatedly emphasized this issue to the leader of the Kyushu Army. I proposed a compromise plan to him - after the Kyushu Army helped us unify Japan, it would always pay tribute to China, and sent envoys to pay tribute, tariffs, railways, and newspapers every year. However, he still did not believe in our sincerity and believed that only by turning us into a province can we not rebel again." Shimazu Konoha sighed.

He had been staying in Chu Yun's mansion for two hours before, and explained all the plans of the Anti-State Alliance to Chu Yun one by one to seek Chu Yun's satisfaction and support. However, Chu Yun overturned their plans and insisted on making Japan, which was in the neighboring sea, a province.

In Chu Yun's view, only by taking down all the surrounding territories can there never be any territorial disputes!

When the envoys such as Shimazu Kokuha, the Mori family, the Ouchi family and other envoys were at a loss, the crowd suddenly became noisy, as if stones were thrown into the calm water.

"Please don't be restless or noisy!" A constable who maintains public order came in advance to maintain order.

"What happened?" Shimazu Kokusa and a group of envoys from the Overthrow Alliance looked around in confusion.

Cheers from tourists on both sides of the street were coming one after another, getting closer and closer.

Shimazu Kokusa and other envoys avoided one side.

Soon they knew why there were constables coming early to maintain order.

Behind the constable are more than a dozen guards with waist knives, and among the guards are Chu Yun, Ella and the newly born Ling'er.

The Lantern District strictly prohibits firearms and weapons. Only the leader of the Jiuzhou Army, Chu Yun, can come in under the protection of the guards!

Even if you want to assassinate, Chu Yun is probably the only one in the Jiuzhou Army that has the value of assassination. Because all the technology and power of the Jiuzhou Army are Chu Yun alone, and if anything happens to him, you can still find someone to take over. Yang Tai, Chang Yi, Xu Ji and others were originally unknown small leaders of the Ming army. What they can do is not their personal talents, but their powerful industrial capabilities and firearm technology.

Chu Yun led his men to pass by Shimazu Kokusa and others, which made Shimazu Kokusa envious. If their anti-shog coalition could overthrow the shogunate as soon as possible and then carry out changes, maybe he would have the majesty of Chu Yun now, but if he failed, he would have to lower the noble head of the samurai to Chu Yun.

"And that woman..." Shimazu Kokusa saw Ella with the child in her arms.

When he was in southern Liaoning, he had coveted Ella and the technology behind her, but now Ella has become Chu Yun's person and even has children.

"It turns out that only a strong man can have everything." Shimazu Kokusa felt unspeakable at this time, which made him more eager for power and power.
