The Japanese nation has an almost perverted spirit of persistence. At best, this is called craftsmanship, and at worst, it is just trying to get past the point.
A nation with this kind of character can easily go to the extreme of great victory or great defeat. Japan's Meiji Restoration made it the strongest in Asia and it was also thanks to this spirit. In World War II, it spent all its money on selling iron and did not admit defeat, which finally attracted two stars. The nuclear bomb is actually caused by this kind of character.
The Kirigakure kid is a typical representative of this kind of character. She feels that she should be loyal to the Tokugawa shogunate, then she will be a loyal minister of the shogunate forever. If she feels that Xiao Letian is an enemy of Japan, then she will spend her whole life entangled like a bone-corroding poison. Follow Xiao Letian and find out all his secrets.
Every officer around Xiao Letian, every shopkeeper of Lotte Matheson, and even every woman of Xiao Letian, the Kirigakure kid had secret files, until finally the Kirigakure kid even reported a shocking big secret to Tokugawa Qingxi. secret.
"General, now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the ten-year-old Emperor Tongzhi has recognized Xiao Letian as his teacher and followed Xiao Letian to study the world... Based on my judgment of Xiao Letian, his first stop must be Japan. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is very It’s possible to come to Japan.”
"Nani." Tokugawa Yingxi stood up from the tatami and knocked over the short boy in front of him. "The emperor of the Qing Dynasty will come to Japan. What you said is true."
The Kirigakure kid nodded with certainty, "Yes, since Xiao Letian chose Emperor Tongzhi as his apprentice, his purpose is obvious. He wants to be the Supreme Emperor, and he wants to use invisible power to control the Qing Dynasty... Since If he wants to cultivate a Western monarch, he will not let go of the living example of Japan's great change. I am sure that Emperor Tongzhi will come..."
The Kirigakure brat's assurance stunned the general. Since Japan's historical records began, there had been no precedent for an emperor from the Central Plains to land on the island, and not even a first-class official had ever landed on the Japanese island.
Although the Japanese themselves shouted arrogantly when calling the emperor, and even though Toyotomi Hideyoshi cut off the canonization system of the Central Plains Dynasty, in the hearts of Japanese people, the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty is still quite large. The emperor versus the Central Plains Emperor, I can only bow my head honestly.
Only after the bloody Sino-Japanese War thirty years later will Japan's national self-esteem rise. Only then will the Japanese psychologically defeat the Central Plains people, and the arrogance of the great powers will be gathered bit by bit.
Japan today is nothing.
Tokugawa Yoshiki was wandering around in the castle tower like a trapped animal. He kept mumbling to himself, "What should I do? What should I do? The Japanese archipelago is already in chaos. Why has something changed again... "
The Kirigakure kid knelt on the ground and said coldly, "It's easy to handle. Kill Xiao Letian and rob Emperor Tongzhi. As long as Emperor Tongzhi becomes a guest in Edo City, we can frighten all opponents. As long as Emperor Tongzhi issues something that is beneficial to us." If we make a statement, the Japanese people will support us, and the crisis in the shogunate will naturally be solved..."
"Can it be done? Can we really do it?" Tokugawa asked.
"Sir General, how can you know if you don't try? Has the Tokugawa Shogunate declined to the point where they no longer have the courage to try?" the Kirigakure brat shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Yes, you should try it. How can you know whether it will work or not if you don't try it? Very good. From today on, you will be the leader of the Shinsengumi. All the ninjas of the Tokugawa family will be under your command. Go ahead and do it. As long as you can make Tokugawa If our country survives the current crisis, you will be a great contributor to Japan, and I can grant you the status of daimyo."
"Hai..." The little Kirigakure knelt on the tatami and her eyes filled with excitement. She never expected that the shogun would actually give out such a generous reward. Can a ninja really become a daimyo?
When the Kirigakure kid left the castle tower, she felt as if the soles of her feet were stepping on cotton, and her whole body was about to float. Unrealistic dreams and ideals suddenly fell in front of him, causing her to collide with the noble man. Don't even know it.
"How dare you, a humble maid, not kneel down when you see Madam An?" An angry scolding woke up the Kirigakure kid. When she saw the woman in front of her, Kirigakure kid broke out in cold sweat.
The visitor is none other than the famous Atsuhime in Japanese history, the first wife of the 13th-generation general Tokugawa Iedada. This woman who came from the Shimadzu family has the unique tenacious fighting spirit of Kyushu Island. Two Eyes can always give people a sense of oppression as if they can speak.
"Forget it, the Kirigakure kid has been lurking in the Qing Dynasty during this period. He may be a little unaccustomed to it just after returning home. Don't be too harsh..." As she spoke, Atsuhime actually helped the Kirigakure kid with her own hands.
"Oh my, you are really a beauty. I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future... If you don't mind, come and sit in the Grand Ori when you have time. I welcome you very much..."
Kirigakure's whole body was floating. She didn't expect happiness to be so close to her. The general affirmed her contribution, and now even Tianzhangyuan, the commander of Daou, showed his kindness to her.
The so-called Da'ao is the harem of the Qing Dynasty. Atsuhime is the wife of the 13th generation general who conquered the barbarians, and Tokugawa Yoshiki is the 15th generation general who conquered the barbarians. There is a difference of two generations in seniority. This is no longer the status of the queen mother, this should be called Queen.
Atsuhime is a legendary woman in modern Japanese history. She was able to open the gate of Edo Castle without bloodshed and reach reconciliation with the emperor's forces. How could such a woman have no rights? She had many supporters in the shogunate, and even more The important thing is that her natal Shimazu family is getting stronger and stronger, which makes people dare not underestimate her.
Atsuhime made a special trip to stop the Kirigakure brat today. A shrewd woman knew that the Kirigakure brat would soon be reused. A ninja who could kill the ancestors of the guards in the Qing Dynasty, and a craftsman who knew Xiao Letian's direct lineage, the shogunate would definitely reused.
Atsuhime comforted the Kirigakure brat with some kind words and then walked away. She knew the heart of a woman very well. If she took out all the benefits at once, it would make the other party despise her. Only a little temptation can win people's hearts. the best method.
The Kirigakure kid left Edo Castle, and her process of gathering the Shinsengumi and the ninja army went smoothly. An elite who could assassinate the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and even fought against Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea easily gained the respect of his subordinates. The Kirigakure kid suddenly had power over the shogunate.
Just as the shogunate began to prepare nervously for war, Xiao Letian's flagship Rome finally saw the port of Kagoshima and the castle tower of the Shimazu family.
This time Xiao Letian came to Japan in secret. There was no official from the Shimadzu family to greet him at the dock. The coolies who were working only found a group of Chinese people in Western clothes walking down from the tall battleship and hurriedly entered the island. In the Jin family's post house.
When Xiao Letian took off his shoes and walked onto the tatami in the main hall, he discovered that a group of Japanese senior officials had already been waiting here. When they saw Xiao Letian in Western-style military uniforms leaving, they knelt down neatly and kowtowed, hitting their foreheads on the tatami. Chun had a bald head in front of him.
"Your Majesty, please pay homage to the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty." This group of Japanese officials were so shameless that they directly identified Ryukyu as the superior country. Perhaps they believed that Xiao Letian's influence had reached the level of the Qing Dynasty's Prime Minister.
Xiao Letian sat cross-legged in the top position, looking at the bald heads in front of him and feeling happy in his heart, "I spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to arm you, and it is only natural that you kowtow to me now..."
After a long while, Xiao Lecai coughed and said, "Let's all be flat, I'm not your superior, why are you so polite..."
After everyone was safe, Xiao Letian was shocked when he saw it. The first ones were none other than the head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Tadayoshi, and his father, Shimazu Hisamitsu. Then, Kayama Rigen and Takenaka Inoue were also sitting upright, waiting for Xiao Letian's instructions. .
There were also important ministers of the fallen forces such as Sakamoto Ryoma, Takasugi Shinsaku, Yamagata Aritomo, etc. There were more than twenty people crowded in one hall.
Xiao Letian has never met most of the people here, but the Xingtang has already established secret files for these people, with many photos and so on. Xiao Letian can definitely call them by name.
"Master Shimazu, I never thought that you would come to greet me in person. You are the master here and should take the main seat."
Shimazu Tadayoshi dared to steal Xiao Letian's limelight. He hurriedly leaned down and said tremblingly, "The master of the upper country is the master. How dare the humble ministers of the lower country dare to make mistakes? Please don't hurt us..."
"Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea showed off his power over Europe and defeated the arrogant French and Austrians. The news came and the entire Japanese archipelago was shocked. We couldn't believe it before. Finally, we asked foreigners from several countries to finally confirm the news..."
"It's a capital crime, it's a capital crime. We actually doubted the results of the Prime Minister's battle. This is really our shame. Please punish us, Your Majesty the Prime Minister."
When Xiao Letian heard this, he let out a deep sigh in his heart. He was still the same Japanese. This nation admired violence and knew how to bow to power. If he hadn't made the heroic expedition to Europe, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so convinced.
"It's a fluke, it's really a fluke. I didn't expect to win the Europa battle so easily. Don't flatter me. Let's talk about your affairs. What's the big deal in inviting me here in such a hurry?"
Sakamoto Ryoma watched Xiao Letian's performance. He stood up and introduced several fallen ministers to Xiao Letian. "Prime Minister, you don't have to be too humble. How can you return from a great victory in Europe without strength? What's more, the Ryukyu and French expeditionary forces In the First World War, we all saw how powerful the new army was..."
"What's more, you used a weak army of two to three thousand people to capture the imperial capital of the Qing Dynasty. If this is not your strength, what is it? Your achievements are as dazzling as the scorching sun at noon. We are just the light of fireflies. How dare you Show off in front of the Prime Minister."
After a few polite words, Sakamoto Ryoma stretched out his hand and introduced, "This is the founder of the Choshu Domain's strange army, Takasugi Shinsaku, and this is the hero of the Choshu Battle, Yamagata Aritomo..."
