"I went on a study tour with the Prime Minister. I gained a lot of feelings from studying Western learning. All the advanced Western powers have the important task of consolidating the national image. All the great powers have established their country's name, planted their national flag, and cast their national emblem..."
"Japan's country names are still confusing. There are Japan, Japan, Fuso... Some people even still use the name of Japan before the Tang Dynasty. It's inelegant. It's really inelegant..."
With a serious face, Zai Chun said to the Japanese daimyo who were doing this, "If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. If you want to integrate into today's world, let's start with the right name. I give the name of the country of Japan, Fuso. I give the cherry blossom flag as the national flag... ...From now on, no matter where Japan is in the north or south, the great names should be gathered under one national flag and identify with the fact of one country. This is the only way to avoid civil war..."
Zai Chun was obviously prepared. He waved to the four guards behind him to bring over a folded flag. Pure white brocade fabric. A cherry blossom is embroidered with golden silk thread in the middle. This has been the national flag of Japan ever since.
Xiao Letian strikes while the iron is hot. He quickly sang the double act, "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming. From now on, the Fusang Kingdom will have a unified country name and a unified flag. From now on, they will no longer fight independently. There will be internal strife and civil war. This is the blessing of all the people of the Fusang Kingdom..."
Then Xiao Letian smiled at the famous Japanese people and said, "How about it? Aren't you satisfied with this country's name? Fuso. It is a kind of sacred book recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas Overseas Eastern Classic": "There is "On the Tang Valley" Fuso. Bathed for ten days. North of Black Teeth. "Records of Daizhou on Ten Continents in the Sea": "There are many trees. The leaves are like mulberry. There are also cocoons. The tree is two thousand feet long and more than two thousand meters wide. The trees grow in pairs with the same root. They are more dependent on each other. Hence the name. Fuso also."
"Look. Japan is renamed after the ancient sacred tree in the East. What an honor it is. Even Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty has a poem about it. It is written in "Dai Shoushan's Reply to Meng Shaofu's Transfer of Documents". Will rely on the sword to reach the sky. Hang the bow and hibiscus."
"As for using cherry blossoms as the national flag, there is no need to explain it. In Japan... no, no, no. Is there anyone in Fuso who doesn't love cherry blossoms? His Majesty has given you the golden cherry blossom pattern that only the emperor can use. You guys What else is there to be dissatisfied with?”
"Don't dare. Don't dare." All the Japanese present accepted the emperor's order with awe. They didn't know why Emperor Tongzhi gave Japan its name. But look at the little emperor’s mental outlook. He must have forgotten the unpleasantness of being assassinated.
At this time, no one dares to cause trouble. In addition, everyone thinks there is nothing wrong with using the ancient name Fusang as the name of the country. Although it was a country title given by an outsider. But the Qing Dynasty was a superior country after all. It doesn't seem that unacceptable for the emperor to give him a name.
Xiao Letian saw that no one had any objections. A large number of cherry blossom flags were embroidered on the spot. Notices were posted in all cities and towns in Japan. The country's name was announced as Fusang.
At this point, Xiao Letian finally fulfilled a small wish of his. Let the annoying country name Japan disappear into the long river of history. The plaster flag was also swept into the trash.
When the banquet atmosphere reaches its hottest peak. Xiao Letian finally announced the news that made the Japanese extremely excited. Ryukyu troops will gradually evacuate Osaka Castle. The last batch of soldiers will return to Ryukyu before New Year's this year at the latest.
"Send away my god of plague. You must have a very comfortable New Year. Please drink this cup to the full. I, the god of plague, pay tribute to everyone..."
"Don't dare...if it weren't for the Prime Minister's military power, we in Japan really don't know how many more people would have died. The Prime Minister is Japan...oh. No, no, no. He is the savior of Fuso Country."
The Japanese just can't flatter themselves. Too formal. It was too cold. There is no such thing as the state of Qing Dynasty officials who were unbridled and smooth.
Xiao Letian shook his head, "Don't laugh too early. There is one last thing you must do. Before this New Year. I must see the Kirigakure kid alive. I don't want him to die. You must remember it clearly." ...Dare to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. If such a person goes unpunished, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty and the public will not let it go."
"Don't think that if the Qing Dynasty is sending troops to the northwest now, it will let you go. In the future, as long as it frees up its hands, you will naturally know how terrifying the wrath of the country is..."
Listening to Xiao Letian's threat. There will always be people who are not convinced. If it were normal times, everyone would not dare to say anything when taking pictures of Xiao Letian's military might. But now I have drunk a lot of wine. Naturally there are people with bad tempers who cannot control their emotions.
The chief of the Hizen Domain, Nabeshima Naoda, said angrily, "The wrath of the Kingdom. The wrath of the Kingdom means killing the envoys. The students of the Land of Etiquette actually attacked the envoys of Japan in a group. This is the so-called wrath of the Kingdom..."
"Baga. Palm mouth..." Tokugawa shouted loudly. Stopped Nabeshima Naoda's offense. Yamauchi Eido, who was sitting next to Nabeshima Naohiro, rushed up and slapped him left and right. Then he dragged the drunk Nabeshima out of the tent like a dead dog.
Let’s not talk about how Tokugawa Qingxi apologized to Xiao Letian in the tent. Outside the tent, Yamauchi Eido poured a ladle of cold water on Nabeshima Naoda's face, "Yaga. Are you going to kill everyone? Are you going to let everyone's hard work go to waste? You are stupid. How stupid are you... "
Nabeshima Naoda was still a little unconvinced. As a result, Yamauchi Eido poured two more ladles of cold water on him, "Asshole, think about it carefully. Since Xiao Letian came to Osaka Castle, have you ever mentioned His Majesty the Emperor? Have you ever mentioned His Highness the Prince? No. Both of us. They all carefully avoided this issue. Although they didn't say anything, this kind of silent negotiation is even more deadly."
"The slogan we put forward for overthrowing the four feudal lords was to honor the king. The purpose was to elect the emperor to rush back to the center of power. Xiao Letian knew this very well. But when he was settling the responsibility for this war, he excluded the emperor's responsibility. . This is his concession to us. Because he knows where our Achilles heel is..."
"If the other party gives in, we have to appreciate it. Now all negotiations are over. There are only the last little things left. Are you still going to create extra problems?"
Nabeshima Naoda is not stupid. He just drank too much. In addition, I have a bad temper and have accumulated too much anger with nowhere to vent. After listening to Yamauchi Eido's scolding. This was one of the fallen members of the four feudal clans with a very low presence in history. He covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.
"Amaterasu, have you given up on us? Japan has been a country for thousands of years. Has it ever experienced such a shame? Even the defeat of Shirakawakou. Even the defeat of Bai Zheng in Korea. But our Japanese mainland has never been set foot by the enemy. "
"Even the European powers are just dominating the sea. Japan's land has never been trampled by the enemy. The kamikaze is gone. The kamikaze is gone."
The whimpering sound was like a ghost weeping. Yamauchi Dou was also moved. But look up and look at Osaka Castle in the distance. The endless Marine Corps barracks. Look behind the big tent again. An altar where eminent monks offer salvation to the war dead. He could only shake his head and sigh.
"Don't be sad. We still have a chance... If there is a will, things will come true. Even if the cauldron sinks the boat, a hundred and two Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu. If you work hard, God will not let you down. If you work hard and taste courage, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu."
