Tokugawa Seuhiko hosted the tea party, which was considered forced to open business.
He sat on the high platform, his eyes dull, looking blankly at the thousands of Ryukyu representatives below the stage, feeling extremely tormented deep in his heart. The body feels tired and feels like sitting on pins and needles.
It feels pretty bad to be forced to stay open.
Yan Qi is equivalent to the old bustard, and he is equivalent to the top lady under the old bustard. The thousands of Ryukyu representatives in the audience are like prostitutes.
Today he was obviously ill and very uncomfortable, but under the coercion of the old bustard, he was forced to accept guests passively.
This feels so sad and uncomfortable.
Yan Qi sat on the high platform, crossed her legs, and looked at Tokugawa Seihiko relaxedly and happily: "Please start your performance, talk, make a speech, express your stance. Come on, come on, everyone applauds and welcomes you."
Hua Hua Hua.
The Ryukyu representatives in the audience applauded loudly for Yan Qi's intention to flatter and cooperate.
Seeing this scene, Tokugawa Chenghiko felt even more uncomfortable.
This group of Ryukyu representatives did not listen to themselves, but specifically cooperated with Yan Qi.
I am the British leader of Japan, so where can I put my old face?
Tokugawa Chenghiko bit the bullet and answered perfunctorily: "Ryukyu has always been a place that I pay more attention to. The people of Ryukyu are kind and amiable. We have always cared deeply for Ryukyu, and we have always attached great importance to our support for Ryukyu. Ryukyu will also help with its economic development. Over the years, I have spared no effort in supporting Ryukyu..."
Having said this, Yan Qi immediately started fighting regardless of the situation and walked to the center of the stage. Without caring about Tokugawa Seihiko's feelings, he interrupted him: "Since you mentioned that you spare no effort to support Ryukyu, Then I will interview you on behalf of the Ryukyu representative."
Tokugawa Chenghiko suddenly felt overwhelmed: "Interview me? Interview for what?"
Yan Qidao: "Just now you have always stressed that you have always attached great importance to your support for Ryukyu, and you have spared no effort in supporting Ryukyu's economy. Then I would like to ask you, where is your spare no effort in supporting Ryukyu's economic development? ?”
Tokugawa Seihiko's head was as big as a bucket: "This... I have supported Ryukyu's economic development in many places..."
Yan Qi immediately asked: "Many places have supported the development of Ryukyu? Where are these places? Can you give a specific answer?"
Tokugawa Seihiko felt guilty: "Can you give a specific answer?"
Yan Qidao: "Yes, of course it has to be specific. You can't give a general answer. Just like keeping accounts, the books must be clear. There must be a general ledger and a running account."
"Come on, please answer, in what aspect have you supported Ryukyu's economic development? Have you assisted Ryukyu in building docks? Have you helped Ryukyu build large fishing boats? Have you provided any assistance when crises or disasters occurred in Ryukyu? A helping hand? Have you helped the Ryukyu people eliminate pirates?"
"The most important thing is, has it helped Ryukyu people to upgrade their industry and completely solved the plight of Ryukyu people?"
This series of questions directly confused Tokugawa Seihiko.
Because, over the years, he has never aided Ryukyu.
Not a penny.
Now, facing Yan Qi's aggressive questions, even if Tokugawa Chenghiko wants to make something out of nothing, it will not be an easy task.
Tokugawa Chenghiko blushed and hesitated: "I... um... can't remember the specific things clearly."
Yan Qi sneered: "I can't remember, can't I even explain one thing clearly? Needless to say, it doesn't matter how much support, even trivial assistance will do."
Tokugawa Seihiko pursed his lips, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Because, he did not provide any assistance to Ryukyu.
With Tokugawa Seihiko's cognitive ability, all he had to do was seize Ryukyu, which would be the greatest benefit to Japan's geopolitical power.
As for the life and death of Ryukyu people, he has nothing to do with it.
Since he doesn't even care about the life and death of Ryukyu people, it is even less likely that he cares about Ryukyu's economy.
Facing Yan Qi's cross-examination, Tokugawa Chenghiko was embarrassed and could not say a word.
Yan Qixiao looked at Tokugawa Chenghiko: "It seems that your brain is not working very well, and you can't even come up with trivial assistance. Well, let me ask everyone."
"Dear fellow citizens, what kind of assistance did Tokugawa Seihihiko provide to you? No matter how big or small, no matter how much, as long as you can name one thing, it will be fine."
"Please speak freely, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I just want to hear the truth, and I believe Tokugawa Seuhiko also wants to hear the truth."
The Ryukyu representatives shook their heads.
"We never received any aid from Japan."
"Wherever there is assistance, we have to rely on ourselves."
"It's so embarrassing to say that the Japanese country doesn't even provide trivial assistance."
…
The Ryukyu representatives talked a lot, and all of them felt aggrieved.
Yan Qi asked Mitsui Chuan again: "You are responsible for the specific affairs of Ryukyu people. Is there any record of Tokugawa Seihiko's assistance to Ryukyu in the "Ryukyu County Chronicle"? Even one thing would be good."
Mitsui dropped his eyes to Mitsui River.
Mitsukawa understood and hurriedly said: "The "Ryukyu County Chronicle" is here. I have brought it, but it does not record the British Lord's assistance to Ryukyu."
Yan Qi asked: "Not one?"
Mitsukawa responded simply: "Not one."
Tokugawa Seihiko couldn't bear it anymore: "How come there is not one? Mitsui River, your "Ryukyu Prefectural Chronicle" must have missed it."
Mitsukawa presented the "Ryukyu Prefectural Chronicle" to Tokugawa Seihiko, and said sonorously and forcefully: "My lord, how could I forget to remember it? I can't be wrong. If you don't believe me, you have personally read it. Everything recorded in the "Ryukyu Prefectural Chronicle" is true. Dahua’s aid to Ryukyu was large and small, but there was not even a single one about Japan’s aid to Ryukyu.”
This time, Tokugawa Seihiko felt even more embarrassed.
So much so that I couldn't get off the stage, and there wasn't even a ladder to get off the stage.
Tokugawa Chenghiko laughed awkwardly: "Hahaha, that... that... regarding the issue of aid to Ryukyu, after I return to the capital, I must check the accounts carefully, and I must not make such a mistake..."
Yan Qi looked at Tokugawa Seihiko and sneered: "Do you still need to check the accounts? Isn't it obvious that the lice are on the bald man's head? You clearly didn't use even a little bit of aid on the Ryukyu people. As long as there is a little bit of aid, You won’t be so embarrassed.”
"this……"
"You keep saying that Ryukyu is the land of Japan, and the people of Ryukyu are the people of Japan. However, the people of Ryukyu are living in extreme poverty, why don't you think of ways to help? Do you think that the people of Ryukyu are third-class citizens? Let it go. Will it fend for itself?"
As soon as Yan Qi said this, Tokugawa Chenghiko took a breath of surprise.
This question was quite sharp, and it hit Tokugawa Seuhiko's sore spot without mercy.
Of course, it also touched the sore point of the Ryukyu representative.
The eyes of thousands of Ryukyu representatives were fixed on Tokugawa Masuhiko's uncertain face.
