The Kirigakure kid's journey of escaping from the Qing Dynasty back to Japan can be said to be uneventful. It seems that the journey is dangerous, but in fact, under the influence of silver, a powerful weapon that opens the way, all the passes are in vain.
Only along the way from the capital to the south, the New Army had two passes that posed the greatest threat to her. However, China is so big that it is difficult for anyone to block all the passages. After bribed several local officials, The Kirigakure kid easily escaped from Xiao Letian's blockade.
The road ahead was easier. During the time when she was working with Cixi in the capital, Kirigakure had amassed a lot of wealth. She had framed and blackmailed more than a dozen wealthy businessmen. This woman had grown from poverty to a fortune of one hundred thousand taels. It only took a few months.
Money earned should be spent. Kirigakure's little ghost Yinliang opened the way and fled from the capital to Zhejiang. From Zhejiang, he transferred to a sea ship and headed north to Japan. For only a fraction of one hundred thousand liang, she was able to win over her to death. The loyal people fled all the way back to Kyushu.
When he arrived in Kyushu, the Kirigakure kid immediately connected with the Tokugawa family's ninja system, and under their protection went all the way north. At the beginning of the new year, he finally arrived at Edo Castle and saw the Tokugawa family's headquarters for which he was loyal.
But everything has changed. Tokugawa Iemo died of illness during the Second Battle of Choshu. The personnel within the Shinsengumi changed drastically. The four clans were overthrown with great momentum. Even in the streets of Edo City, there were untouchables who dared to Publicly discuss the treachery of the Emperor's return to power.
The Kirigakure kid was really a loyal minister of the Tokugawa family. Seeing the lonely look of the shogunate, she was heartbroken. When she entered Edo, she didn't bother to rest and returned to Edo Castle on the same day to see the Tokugawa Congratulations.
Tokugawa Yingxi didn't want to meet a little-known female ninja, but when he heard that this woman had returned from the Qing Dynasty and knew all the details about Xiao Letian, he was shocked and quickly sent an order to meet the legendary ninja at the castle tower. Kunoichi.
The Kirigakure kid was so excited that she almost went crazy. She had never imagined that she would have the honor of being personally received by the general in the castle tower. Even the highest-ranking ninja group could only hide on the ceiling and silently listen to the master's orders.
Being able to jump down from the ceiling with the gift of the master and being received by the master on the tatami is already the greatest honor that a ninja can get. But today she was actually able to be received by the general at the castle tower. The Kirigakure kid was filled with excitement. They all got into a fight.
"Kirigakure kid, a Tokugawa family ninja and leader of the Kyushu team of the Shinsengumi, has seen the shogun..." Kirigakure kid lay down on the tatami with a trembling body, not daring to move.
Tokugawa Yingxi stared at the Kirigakure kid. The sake cup in his hand, which was like a plate, was filled with milky white sake. Another warrior in front of him was brushing sauce on the barbecue through the ventilated window, and the air was filled with Rich aroma of barbecue.
Time passed minute by minute. The Japanese daimyo liked to use time to put pressure on his subordinates. The more he ignored his subordinates, the less sure they felt. The strong pressure made the Kirigakure kid break out in cold sweat.
"Well... I heard that you just came back from the Qing Dynasty." Tokugawa Yingxi said coldly.
The Kirigakure brat was relieved, "Yes, the wai ninja has just returned from lurking in the Qing Kingdom, and is willing to truthfully report all the details about Da Qing and Xiao Letian to the General..."
Immediately afterwards, the Kirigakure kid started talking about her capture of Noheita, starting from the day Xiao Letian entered Ryukyu, and continued until the new army entered Beijing in full force.
She spoke in great detail, and Tokugawa Yingxi listened with great rapt attention. The legendary experience of the Kirigakure kid could fill a book. In the end, the two waiters even forgot to pour the wine, and even the meat was burnt. .
The Kirigakure kid talked about it from noon until it got dark. When people turned on the lamps, they realized that the fire in the charcoal stove had long been extinguished.
How could Japan ignore Ryukyu and Xiao Letian's existence, especially now that Japan's elite have learned about Xiao Letian's expedition to Europe. In that era, any Asian who could compete with foreigners could be counted as What a hero, not to mention that Xiao Letian actually won the Austro-Prussian War.
At this time, Japan still had the structure of the medieval world, and the people's fear of the West was far from receding. In addition to admiration for what Xiao Letian did, what was left was only fear.
Looking at the flickering candlelight, Tokugawa Yingxi said coldly, "You mean that you gave up your position as a bodyguard of the Qing Dynasty just to be loyal to the Tokugawa family."
"Hai..." Kirigakure kid lowered his head and said.
"Baga..." Tokugawa Yingxi suddenly became furious and kicked over the bottle, drew out his sword and slashed at the Kirigakure brat, "How dare you lie to me, you bitch, kill..."
The general roared, and then all the sliding doors around him opened, and the knife-wielding men rushed in and collectively shouted "Kill." More than a dozen swords whizzed and slashed at the Kirigakure brat.
The Kirigakure brat didn't move at all, just kneeling on the tatami with her eyes closed, letting the blade rest on her neck. This was a test trick commonly used by Japanese daimyo. Although it was old-fashioned, it definitely worked.
The sword stopped at the Kirigakure kid's neck without cutting it off. Tokugawa nodded happily and all the sword-wielding guys stepped back one by one.
The general raised the Kirigakure kid's chin with one finger and sneered, "You have lived in the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty. How can you make me believe in your loyalty? You are willing to abandon such a prosperous place, and you can still maintain your loyalty." Japan’s loyalty.”
The Kirigakure kid opened his eyes, his heart filled with shame, "Sir General, although the Qing Dynasty is good, it is not my hometown after all. Although the Forbidden City is magnificent, it has smelled of decay under the two hundred years of Manchu rule... No matter how precious it is, it is not my hometown. The golden nanmu coffin is just a coffin. Why should I envy the life in a coffin..."
"Hahaha... Okay, I like to hear this. The Japanese must have the arrogance of the Japanese. Although we are small, we are still one country. I think back then when Master Guan Bai tore up the Ming Dynasty's canonization edict, we Japan Already independent from the Chinese..."
The Lord Sekipaku mentioned by Tokugawa Yoshiki was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a man of the world during the Warring States Period.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a famous daimyo in the Warring States Period of Japan, also known as the Azuchi Momoyama Period. He came out of the civilian class and started working as a handyman for the samurai. He later rose to prominence because he served Oda Nobunaga and was good at managing interpersonal relationships. After Akechi Mitsuhide rebelled, launched the Honnoji Rebellion and killed Oda Nobunaga, he quickly returned from China, defeated the Akechi rebels, successfully succeeded Oda Nobunaga's position, gradually conquered and submitted to the daimyo of various places, and successfully succeeded in the collapse of the Muromachi shogunate. Unify Japan again.
It was he who launched the famous war of aggression against Korea. In 1592, the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi raised an army of 200,000 to cross the sea and invade North Korea, launching the famous Wanli Korean War.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi ultimately failed, but there was one thing that was not praised by later generations of Japanese, that is, he tore up the canonization edict of Emperor Wanli and formally rejected China's suzerainty over Japan to the whole world.
From that moment on, Japan no longer cared about the so-called canonization of the Central Plains regime, and its millennia of dependence on the Central Plains civilization was completely torn to pieces.
After Wanli, although Japan claimed to be a small country, it no longer recognized itself as a vassal state of the Central Plains civilization. When the Qing Dynasty was founded, the Manchus ignored their maritime rights and were too lazy to care about the quality of Japan.
The Japanese rulers have been alienated from the civilization of the Central Plains since the Wanli period. Now Tokugawa Yingxi was even more delighted when he heard the words of Kirigakure Kid. He took a wine cup and actually poured wine for Kirigakure Kid himself.
"Come, after drinking this glass of wine, I am willing to talk to you at night. I know you still have something to say in your heart. Don't be afraid that you can tell it all..."
The Kirigakure kid burst into tears. A lowly ninja could actually be comforted by the general's gentle words. This was already the greatest reward.
"Your Excellency, General, Xiao Letian is definitely not a mortal. His skills are so terrifying that words cannot describe it. Not only us, but also other European countries have succumbed. And I can foresee that Xiao Letian has already attacked us in Japan very deeply... …”
Under the description of the Kirigakure kid, the image of a powerful prime minister from East Asia appeared in front of the general. This devil-like figure can easily see into people's hearts and accurately judge the situation. What's even more terrifying is that this man is very calm, like a villain. Calm as a wolf.
"Xiao Letian has never cared about fame and fortune. He didn't even ask for an official position awarded by the Qing Dynasty. What others dream of seems to be trivial in his eyes. Until now, he only wears the title of Prime Minister of Ryukyu to deal with various countries..."
"There is also his new army. It is obvious that he can already support an army of 100,000 people, but he has been unwilling to expand the army. The core strength of the new army is only about 4,000, and the auxiliary soldiers are only more than 10,000. Why doesn't he expand his army? If we had that kind of financial resources, we would have raised an army of 100,000 or even 200,000..."
No wonder people say that the enemy is the one who knows you best. The Kirigakure kid's in-depth analysis of Xiao Letian was so accurate.
"Cunning, calm, good at deceiving people and judging situations... This terrible man is too pragmatic. All he wants is face, but not a trace of face. Just look at his military system, and he has a 100% literacy rate."
"He raised an officer corps. He used a very small number of troops to paralyze the Qing Dynasty and the Westerners, so that when their interests were being eroded by Xiao Letian, they did not feel the danger, and they always thought that they could control the situation. …”
"Isn't that what the Manchus were like? They fantasized over and over again that they could defeat Xiao Letian, and were seduced by Xiao Letian's deliberately created troop numbers, so they marched into Tanggu again and again. What they got in the end was just It was a disastrous defeat, and in the end even the capital was lost..."
"Sir General, that Ryoma Sakamoto accepted Xiao Letian's secret method of blood exchange, and Xiao Letian's blood is already flowing in his veins. Now Ryoma Sakamoto's Maritime Aid Association has become the largest arms consortium in South Japan. During the Battle of Choshu Why do the Qi soldiers have so many rapid-fire foreign guns? There is no other possibility except Xiao Letian's funding..."
"General, Xiao Letian's evil hand has reached Japan. We must prepare for the worst. If the new army sets foot on the island, it will be the moment when our country, Japan, will be destroyed."
Note: Tangled, tangled, whether the New Army should land on the main island of Japan, Xin Jing is really too tangled, how to fight if they land, why does Japan look so superior, is it wrong to bully Japanese flower girls? As for morality, it’s tangled, tangled…
