The riots at Camp Batto and the military port did not attract the attention of the people of Naha, because these two military camps are located to the east of Ryukyu Island, directly facing the Pacific Ocean, and are not located on the golden waterway. Naha The most prosperous commercial dock is on the west side of the island, directly facing the mainland.
The prosperous areas of the city have always followed the commercial areas. The most densely populated area is in the west, so today's celebration activities are also concentrated in the west.
Firecrackers were blasting throughout the city, dragon and lion dance teams were flowing continuously, and all taverns, teahouses, theaters... and other entertainment venues were crowded with people.
The waiter in the hotel pushed the collection of fine wine to the door of the store and it was sold out within a quarter of an hour. This drunken carnival even sold out all the wine gourds, silver bottles and other portable drinking utensils in Naha.
The entire city is like an erupting volcano, with huge sound waves lapping outward like the tide of a full moon.
In such an atmosphere, who would care about the faint bursts of gunfire in the east? No one noticed that a strange warship had quietly sailed into the military restricted area.
The whole city was full of laughter, but there were some exceptions. For example, Mr. Qing, Xiao Letian’s uncle, who came from the Qing Dynasty, bumped around in the crowd like a walking zombie, completely unaware of his The money bag had already been stolen by the thief, and he didn't even notice the flirtatious women on both sides of the road giving him flirtatious looks.
For the loyal man, this New Year's banquet was no less than the end of the world. The nightmare that had been hidden in his heart for a long time finally became a reality. Xiao Letian parted ways with the Qing Dynasty in the end, although he did not directly raise the flag of rebellion. But the independent attitude is already obvious.
Thinking about the past, although Xiao Letian was domineering, rude and even had three small-scale military conflicts with the Eight Banners, many people died.
But the key point is that Xiao Letian did not lose the legal inheritance with the Qing Dynasty. That is to say, Xiao Letian always admitted that he accepted the rule of the Qing Dynasty, because Ryukyu will always be a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and so will the prime minister of the vassal state. A minister of the Qing Dynasty.
Although Cao Cao hated him, he did not rebel directly after all. Cao Cao maintained his status as a Han official until his death, unlike his son who immediately fell out with the emperor after he came to power.
Third Master Qing never expected Xiao Letian to become the Zhuge Wuhou of the Qing Dynasty. His big wish was actually very simple. It would be fine for you, Xiao Letian, to be Cao Cao. As long as you don’t rebel in this life, I, Fu Qing, will decide whether others will rebel in the future. Too lazy to care.
As long as you, Xiao Letian, don't rebel, I, Fu Qing, at least don't have to use my brain to think and choose!
Qing Sanye sometimes had such an ostrich mentality when facing Xiao Letian. He even refused to think about the most terrifying problem. He even gave the power of thinking and decision-making to future generations.
"As long as you, Xiao Letian, don't do the opposite, we brothers will live together for the rest of our lives... I don't care what happens to the descendants, I can't control them! But won't you give me such a humble wish? Damn it..."
With a punch, Mr. Qing almost knocked down the awning of the wine shop on the sidewalk. The owner of the wine shop was about to curse when he saw a senior official of the Qing Dynasty in gorgeous clothes across the street, but he swallowed the bad words again. gone back.
"What are you doing? You can't break up my business, sir? This isn't the Qing Dynasty. This is Ryukyu, a place with rules..."
The low-pitched ridicule of the restaurant owner made Mr. Qing angry, "What did you say? What happened to the Qing Dynasty? Is the Qing Dynasty sorry for you? If you have the ability, say it again..."
The people of Ryukyu are not afraid of the official power of the Qing Dynasty. The owner of the wine shop put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Ouch? You little brat... you almost demolished my shed, are you still reasonable? This is Ryukyu, not Beijing, how dare you If you bully the common people, beware of lawsuits!"
The boss looked like he was an immigrant from the south of the Yangtze River. He spoke with a soft and glutinous energy like white sugar and glutinous rice. Although the attack power was not as strong as that of northerners, the sticky energy of the curse was even more unbearable.
Mr. Qing San was already in a bad mood, but he couldn't bear it when he heard this. "It's a broken shed. If it breaks down, I'll just pay you! Come on, come on, I'll pay you...you apologize to me..."
Before he finished speaking, he touched the money bag in his pocket and realized that there was no trace of it.
The embarrassed expression made the little boss frown a little. "Oh, it turns out that the cowhide is quite big... Don't you have any money in your pocket? You look like you are wearing something like five or six people. Could it be that the clothes were stolen from a pawn shop?" Hahaha..." The people around burst into laughter.
Just when Third Master Qing was embarrassed and speechless, suddenly a hand from the crowd stretched out and pulled him. "My Third Master, why are you wandering here alone? Why are you arguing with him? Go away quickly." ..." After saying that, five or six dragon-patterned silver coins were thrown from the crowd and accurately dropped into the boss's wine jar.
Those who squeezed through the crowd were the two core staff of Mr. Qing, Shi Shan and Shi Shui! When Cixi and Ci'an were setting up military formations in Sijiu City with real swords and guns, they were classified by Cixi as a member of the Qing Dynasty's reformists and were directly thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. ,
They suffered a lot in the prison. Later, Xiao Letian led troops to the capital and rescued these people. Later Qing Sanye became the leader of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's internal reform faction, and these two naturally became the third master's core subordinates. This time he came to Ryukyu to bring these two think tanks.
The origins of Shi Shan and Shi Shui are not simple. They studied at Luoyuan Academy in Jinan, and their teacher was Kuang Yuan, a famous official in the Xianfeng period. People who are familiar with Xianfeng's reign should be familiar with this name. Kuang Yuan was one of the eight ministers appointed after Xianfeng's death.
During the Xinyou coup, the empress dowagers of the two palaces and several princes joined forces to kill the eight ministers Gu Ming. However, only Zaiyuan, Duanhua and Sushun lost their lives. The court did not kill all the other ministers Gu Ming.
Kuang Yuan returned to his hometown and opened an academy and taught many students. It is conceivable that these students were naturally at odds with Cixi's group. After entering the court in Beijing, these people would naturally choose the enemy of their enemies. .
The situation of the Manchu and Qing dynasties was actually quite complicated. There were not only disputes between the Manchus and Han, but also disputes between the Eight Banners, and even conflicts between different political forces.
Qing Sanye was now nominally the deputy of the Prime Minister's Yamen, the leader of the Westernization faction, and the leader of the Reform faction. But the core strength under him is actually the political power left over from the eight ministers Gu Ming.
Now think about the Japanese Liuyi, who is working hard to train the new army in Xishan for Mao? The water here is very deep!
"Third Master... don't say anything, don't ask anything, follow me to Shuri City to see His Majesty... Some of Xiao Letian's soldiers just mutinied!"
"What?" Listening to Shishan's whisper, Mr. Qing was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
"Silence! My third master, please keep your voice down. This is Ryukyu, not Beijing... Let's go, let's go!"
