Chapter Two Hundred-Forty - Another Revolt Crushed!
Chapter Two Hundred-Forty - Another Revolt Crushed!
On the 25th of June the Battle of Matsuyama started between over fifty thousand Japanese troops against three thousand rebels.
Unlike the rebels the Imperial forces had big guns and cavalry.
The rebels didn't last very long against such numbers and firepower. The Imperial forces lost over three hundred while the rebels were wiped out.
And so another rebellion was crushed and the peace came to the land.
The armies were ordered back to their home provinces. The Second Home Island Army was sent to Osaka. While the First Home Island Army was sent to Edo. Where it joined up with two new units.
On the 4th of July the Province of Edo built another Explosives Factory. And on the 17th of July another Man-of-War joined the First Fleet.
And this time a cupcake stand was seized. Those kids and their ideas of a free market system!
And so the day was saved! Japan was safe from rebels and European businesses!

Chapter Two Hundred-Forty-One - Again?
Peace brought many things. For example, improved relationships with the Russian Empire.
Seems the Japanese Diplomats had brought the Emperor of Russia a lot of booze and hookers. Always a good choice. Though the younger Liberals didn’t like the tactic.
Then another foreign business was seized. Two men had been selling hats on a street corner in Edo. Of course, they were arrested and their hats were destroyed.
Even with Peace the military were still getting their brand new stuff. The Army would get two new artillery brigades in August which were sent to the Province of Edo to join the First Home Island Army.
And the Navy had one Man-of-war, three Steam Transports, and four Frigates being built in dry-docks.
While the international news had news of the revolt in Japan this was overshadowed by the war between France and Sokoto. And the question on everyone's lips was….what is a Sokoto?
Then the Provinces of Shizuoka, Kagoshima, Fukui, Tokushima, Nagoya, Nagano, Kumamoto, Toyama, Miyazaki, Okayama, and Amari had all upgraded their railroads. Mostly adding dining and sleeping cars for the rich and guards to keep out the poor. Unless the poor were there to carry the suitcases, serve the food, and lick shoes. You know, traditional stuff the poor were allowed to do for the rich. Besides being killed in the wars.
Then the public was shocked by the news. Well, new news. Seems there had been a Anarcho-Liberal Rebellion.
In the Province of Api. Trapped far away from the home islands. Right next to the Brunei Guard. Who had over thirty-six thousand soldiers. Against three thousand farmers armed with hunting rifles and old swords. Yes, this should go well for the rebels.

In Edo the last artillery unit built was joining up with the First Home Island Army. And in Brunei the Japanese forces found themselves right next to the rebels.
So they were ordered to go and destroy them.
While the Imperial forces marched towards certain victory the provinces of Matsue, Okinawa, and Nagasaki had updated their railroads with fancy new club cars and machine guns. To keep the poor away of course. And give the Nobles something to do when they get bored.
It was also noticed that more than 55 percent of the populace could read!
Then on the 21st of September the two forces clashed! Over thirty-six Imperial soldiers, with cavalry and artillery, against three thousand rebels.
As the Battle of Api raged there was more events that happened on the home islands.
Two little girls were arrested and sent to the mines for trying to sell cool refreshing drinks on the sidewalk. The nerve!
And the Province of of Hiroshima upgraded their railroads. Now the dining cars served caviar on toast.
Then on the 24th of September the Imperial Army announced victory! All the rebel scum had been wiped while around only eighty noble infantry of the Army had been killed.
And the people rejoiced!

Chapter Two Hundred-Forty-Three - Steel Railroads!
Chapter Two Hundred-Forty-Three - Steel Railroads!
The Brunei Guard was ordered back to the colonial capital.
And they would need to build their numbers back up once they were settled.
As they marched b ack to their barracks there was good news from the home provinces. For the provinces of Fukuoka, Yamaguchi, Kochi, and Sendai all upgraded their railways.
Then there was even better news. The Researchers had added railroads to something better then iron. Steel! The next stage in railways! Which meant many of the provinces would likely be upgrading their rails again.
Now the Researchers would focus on a new idea. Ad-Hoc Money Bill Printing. In other words a standard for money. A Silve Standard!
And by the 7th of October the Brunei Guard had reached their camps. And peace came to the lands.

Soon there were trains! The provinces of Matsuyama, Fukushima, Akita, Kobe, Yamagata, Morioka, Nara, Aomori, Wakayama, Osaka, Kyoto, Ishikara, Nemuru and Hakodate had all updated their railroads.
The international newspapers had articles about the latest revolts. And then the year came to an end.

Must be a slow business year if there weren't more lemonade stands to close down...
