The sliding door opened with a bang, and Xiang Shaolong helped the seriously injured Noheita into the room. Perhaps because the movement was a bit violent just now, the scarred wound began to ooze blood again.
"Mr. Xiao, I bring you very bad news. Yamamoto Kiyoshi and his wild samurai and ronin will soon take action against the Chinese in Naha Port, and the old ninjas of the Huashan family have also joined in... Sorry, I didn’t find out the specific plan and time..."
They were really afraid of what they were going to get. Xiao Letian knew that these Japanese people would not give up. It seemed that the anger directed at him would be spread on ordinary people. And judging from the attitude of this group of Japanese, as long as they leave here, they will definitely find ways to intimidate the King of Ryukyu, and attack all pro-China factions, and they may even be removed from their position as prime minister.
Xiao Letian knew that he had the reputation of being an unparalleled national warrior. These Japanese fools did not dare to directly destroy him, but others would be unlucky. Xiao Letian stood up and walked back and forth in the room like a trapped animal. He kept calculating various possibilities, and various deductions flashed in his mind.
No one dared to disturb him. The situation in Naha was now in danger. No one knew where the Shimadzu family's bottom line was. If the whole thing got out of control, one hundred thousand Chinese would definitely suffer disaster.
Time passed little by little, and when Xiang Shaolong helped Nohira bandage the last wound, the swordsman suddenly interrupted Xiao Letian's contemplation.
"Mr. Xiao, I must remind you that Japan is very chaotic now. The samurai class has gradually lost order and many rules have been broken... Maybe you are an unparalleled warrior with a high reputation, but in the eyes of some Japanese samurai Here, your reputation cannot protect yourself..."
"I wonder if you have heard of those people who 'respect the king and repel the barbarians'? I wonder if you know the Shinsengumi raised by the Tokugawa family? They do not hesitate to assassinate for their own purposes. Update immediately. Those people are madmen, they are simply There is no reason at all, they kill people without considering the consequences..."
After hearing this, Xiao Letian's heart skipped a beat and he felt like he was falling into the abyss. He had neglected this one thing. The current low-level samurai in Japan have all entered a violent state. They are the vanguard of killing people in the great changes.
Historically, Takeichi Hanheita and his gang from Tosa Kinou's party, as well as the Shinsengumi, who are currently in the spotlight, are famous for their violent assassinations. Once these people get jealous, they will not care about you. Not a national scholar.
"Are you saying that now Ryukyu is not only dominated by the Shimadzu family? Other forces in Japan have also penetrated in?" Xiao Letian asked nervously.
"Hai! Although I don't know the specific details, I at least know that there is a big force behind this group of ninjas..."
Xiao Letian almost smashed through the tatami with his punch. "I have an important task for him... Let Liang Kun gather his troops immediately and be on standby. By the way, he also warned all Chinese businessmen to be more vigilant. If there is a conflict, let them report to me immediately." gather……"
"Master Shi, please contact the insiders of Shuri Castle again and ask King Shangtai to make all preparations. Naha Port is likely to be in chaos. Among them, the safety of King Shangtai is the most important. Shuri Castle must fight to the death. Keep it..."
"Luo Huo and Sima Yun will start distributing weapons immediately. All bullets must be distributed. Everyone must be ready to fight..." After saying this, Xiao Letian looked at the officers who had gathered together and whispered.
"Brothers, this is not China. This is the Naha Port on the horizon overseas. It is Ryukyu, our Chinese vassal state. We don't want war, but we must not be afraid of war. If we open fire, I just hope you remember your identity... …We are Chinese, so don’t embarrass the word China…”
Xiao Letian suddenly stood up and roared with a flushed face, "I will give you a chance to leave your name in history today. If you don't want the achievements of Chen Tang and Ban Dingyuan, I don't want them. 36 of our ancestors can pacify a group of people." Our country now has 260 warriors and 100,000 Chinese as our backing. If we don’t even have the courage to fight, what kind of man are we?”
This sentence excited the blood of everyone present: "Don't worry, sir, this is a national war, and none of our brothers is a coward!"
Just as Xiao Letian's side began to prepare for the war, Ohachiro and the Kirigakure kid had already gathered thousands of ronin. Updated as soon as possible. Because Naha Port has been mixed with Japanese, Han and indigenous people for hundreds of years, there is no obvious large-scale gathering area. In order to facilitate their attack, Evil Hachiro and the others broke up thousands of ronin and hid them all in ten large hidden warehouses.
It was precisely because of this small-scale gathering of people that he escaped the suspicion of the Han people in the city. In a warehouse, wooden boxes were filled with rice balls and sake, and Ahachiro had spent a lot of money. Usually he would be reluctant to eat rice balls mixed with seaweed and plums, but today he used them all to reward his subordinates.
"Brothers, wait here with peace of mind, waiting for our signal. This group of Qing slaves is really too arrogant. We must let them know the rules... Don't be afraid. I have already received the approval of Mr. Huashan. When the time comes, the three of them will The Senzugaru will also come to support us, and even the Anzai ships at sea will provide us with support..."
These ronin were a little worried at first, but when they knew that the Huashan family elders and General Yamamoto clearly supported it, the little Japanese became mad again.
"Don't worry, Hachiro. We have long been unhappy with those Chinese people. They have accumulated so much wealth and are not even happy to pay protection fees. We must kill them this time to make them remember and let them always remember who is the master of Naha Port." ……cheers!"
The atmosphere in Naha Port has become increasingly weird. Now even the foreign businessmen in the city are a little aware of it. The Japanese ronin who were everywhere in the past have almost all disappeared today. Those Japanese people wearing towels on their heads and wearing wooden clogs. There are also a lot fewer workers, and 90% of the people on the docks are Han and indigenous workers.
Then a piece of gossip spread among the foreigners. It turned out that Qing Dynasty scholar Xiao had a serious conflict with the Japanese. The two sides were negotiating secretly, but they were not on good terms and a violent and bloody conflict was likely to occur.
"Oh, my God, this scholar Xiao really doesn't look like a Qing Dynasty person. Don't they only know civil war? They have never been tough on foreign affairs... What? You said that scholar Xiao grew up in Europe and is now an American. ? That’s no wonder, people who have received modern education naturally have our unique pride..."
As the sun sets little by little, many businesses in Naha Port have closed early. Even the pubs, brothels, and gambling houses that were open all night only opened their doors a crack, and some even closed their doors altogether. The whole city fell into an inexplicable restlessness.
Just as Naha Port was preparing for the war, north of the Ryukyu Islands and the southernmost port of Kagoshima in Japan, a sailing ship had just arrived. As soon as the pedals touched the trestle, several soldiers quickly jumped Get off the boat and fly towards your destination. Update as soon as possible
In the high castle tower of Shimazu Castle in Kagoshima, the family governor Shimazu Tadayoshi, accompanied by his father Shimazu Hisamitsu, was checking the information among the daimyo from various places. The father, who was like a regent, was patiently teaching his son how to become a An excellent housekeeper.
At this moment, Xiao surname suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, a messenger has been sent from Naha Port, bringing urgent information..." After saying this, he pushed the neatly folded letter in front of the family governor.
Shimazu Tadayoshi and his son looked at each other in confusion. When they opened the letter and read it ten lines at a time, they actually shouted in surprise at the same time, "Nani? Dozens of Qing people want to challenge our Shimadzu family for two hundred and fifty years." rule?"
At this time, in the castle town, the bustling taverns were filled with the wild laughter of geishas. These Japanese women with white powder on their faces were drinking sake with their arms open. The young man inside the screen was holding a half-naked woman with his left and right arms. , shaking his head while listening to Sanxian's playing. Update as soon as possible
"Ryoma-san... How many days will you stay in Kagoshima this time? Sisters, I miss you so much after we parted ways last time..." It seems that these geishas are picking up regular customers, and they even rushed to them rudely. Just kiss.
While the young man was enjoying the wine, food and beautiful women, an Ashigaru suddenly burst in from outside the tavern, smelling of sweat and sea. He didn't even take off his bamboo armor.
"Hey, hey, this is where the gentlemen play. Why are you intruding as an ashigaru..." The waiter at the door wanted to shout out, but when the ashigaru came in, he shouted, "Is Mr. Sakamoto Ryoma here? Mr. Sakamoto Ryoma" Are you here? I am the messenger sent by Master Takenaka Inoue..."
At this time, the young man who was enjoying suddenly changed his face, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he jumped up and walked out of the screen enclosure. "I am Sakamoto Ryoma. What letter does Takenaka-kun have for me?" The messenger looked like Takenaka-sama. With the same appearance, he quickly knelt down and took out the letter from his arms and handed it over. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Come here, take this messenger to dinner. I have something else to ask him later..." After saying that, Sakamoto Ryoma opened the letter, but as soon as he took a second look at it, his expression changed and he grabbed the messenger and asked. After saying a few words, he turned around and ran away, heading straight to the main city of the Shimadzu family.
This young man named Sakamoto Ryoma is the presenter of the famous "Funzhong Eight Strategies" in history. He belongs to the upper-class elite among the reformists. His "Eight Strategies in the Ship" basically determined the political structure of modern Japan. The Tokugawa family returned power to the emperor, established a constitutional monarchy, held a parliament, formulated a constitution, established a navy, and even implemented currency reforms. These were basically ships. Involved in the Eight Strategies in the Middle School.
During the constitutional process after the Meiji period, the eight policies in the ship were basically copied from the original text, which shows the importance of these eight policy implementation strategies. It can be said that if Sakamoto Ryoma had not died in that bizarre assassination, and if he could have lived longer, he would definitely have become one of the strongest politicians in the Meiji government.
Ito Hirobumi and Yamagata Aritomo, the two giant Buddhas in the imperial court during the Meiji period, were just juniors in front of Sakamoto Ryoma.
Now Sakamoto Ryoma is moving along the historical track that Xiao Letian is familiar with. He came to Kagoshima with an important mission. He is presiding over the alliance between Satsuma Domain and Choshu Domain, and the Southwest Alliance of the Overthrow Movement is about to begin. It was formed in his hands, which shows the importance of this person to Japanese history.
Sakamoto Ryoma ran wildly on the street. The samurai who knew him thought there was an accident. They dropped their wine glasses one by one and chased after him. The angry Ryoma shouted at them like flies, "Go away, you all go away..."
When Ryoma broke into the castle tower, the angry father and son inside almost sent troops to reinforce Naha. As soon as Ryoma saw the unkind expressions on the faces of the two powerful members of the Shimazu family, he knew that things were not going to be easy.
"Master Shimazu, don't be impulsive. If you are angry about Ryukyu, it is very irrational. You can't raise troops in anger! I would like to ask, do you know Xiao Letian? What do you have in your hands? How much information do you have about Xiao Letian? Do you know what the consequences of going to war will be? Don’t be so reckless..."
Sakamoto Ryoma almost roared when he said these words. The two adults who were shocked at that time almost jumped up, "Nani? Xiao Letian is so scary..."
