"idiot!"
When General Tokugawa heard about "outsider neutrality", he immediately became angry. He slapped the tatami with his palm and said angrily: "They are starting a war on our Japanese soil, no, on our territorial waters. How can I, the majestic Japanese shogunate, stop the war?" Externally neutral? How would the princes and samurai of the world treat me like this? I am a citizen of Japan!"
Seeing the shogun become angry, Sakai Tadushin, Mizuno Tadunari, Okubo Tadama, Matsudaira Nohihiro, Uemura's parents, and Matsudaira Yasuto were all startled when they were a little sleepy. They all got out in front of the shogun and lay down on the ground. He loudly dissuaded and remonstrated.
"No!"
"General, the Yingyi are too far away, and the Ming Dynasty is too close and too strong. You still have to be patient!"
"Lord Gongfang, the Yingyi navy has been defeated, and it was a disastrous defeat. This shows that the Yingyi navy is no match for the Ming Dynasty on the seas of East Asia..."
"Yes, once we side with the British and foreigners, Japan will definitely suffer disaster!"
"My lord, please think again!"
"..."
Seeing the people below coming to persuade him, the Tokugawa family stood up suddenly and looked angrily at Lao Zhong and Feng Xing who were lying below, "You are all samurai of Japan and the Tokugawa family, so it is natural for you to do so." If we follow the Tokugawa family to defend Japan's territory and territorial waters, how can we allow the enemy to run amok in Japan's territorial waters and land just because the enemy is strong? If we do that, we will give up our responsibilities as samurai, which is against the spirit of bushido! "
"grown ups!"
"Public..."
After listening to the general's lesson, the old men and women below were all so ashamed that they couldn't even lift their heads and wished they could find a crack in the tatami and crawl in.
Seeing that everyone below knew that they were wrong, the shogun calmed down a little, but his tone became more majestic: "This Jiyin Waterway incident was caused by the British East India Company's Yachian ship and the British Indian Fleet. The squadron’s conspiracy!”
What? Wasn’t the Jiyin Waterway Incident a conspiracy between Japan and the British Empire?
The senior officers below were stunned, and they all secretly looked at Tokugawa Saiaki, the leader of the shogunate navy. Tokugawa Saiaki, on the other hand, said nothing and did not dare to say a word.
General Tokugawa added: "The purpose of the British barbarians is to turn our independent Japan into a colony like India... They also want to turn Japan into a springboard for the British to invade the Ming Dynasty in the future. It is really abominable. Hateful! We, the Tokugawa shogunate, will never forgive such evil people! Therefore, I decided to stand with the Ming Dynasty and send a powerful navy and army together to break the ambition of the British and barbarians towards our East Asian paradise and rescue India, which was oppressed and exploited by the British and barbarians. , Malacca, the East Indies, Australia, New Zealand and the American states!”
Now the senior officers of the shogunate finally came to their senses.
It turns out that the shogun's wishful thinking was to side with the Ming Dynasty after the break between the Ming Dynasty and the British barbarians, and then follow the Ming Dynasty to seize the territory of India, Malacca, the East Indies, Australia, New Zealand and the American states... No need. They have all been robbed. Just a little bit will be enough for Japan to stand up. And the Ming Dynasty does not lack hungry dogs, no, it does not lack hungry soldiers.
Shouldn’t raw materials such as grain, coal, iron ore, petroleum, non-ferrous metals, Mianhu, etc. be “extensively available”?
Also, Japan is in crisis right now. There is a shortage of money everywhere and everyone is going bankrupt. How can we fight like this? Should Ming Dynasty borrow a low-interest loan of 120 million?
In short, since Yingyi is no longer good, then he will follow the Ming Dynasty as a dog, no, as a subordinate, and his future will be bright!
The veterans of the shogunate who finally realized how wise the shogun was were immediately put on expressions of admiration. They looked up at General Tokugawa and almost raised their thumbs and said, "High, really high."
"Qi Zhao," General Tokugawa ignored those veterans, but looked at Tokugawa Qi Zhao and said, "Do you know where the victorious Ming fleet has gone? Where are the eighteen military divisions of the Zhuge family?"
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
"Oh, to report back to Lord Gongfang, the Ming Dynasty naval fleet left the Jiyin Waterway after the victory, and its whereabouts are unknown... It probably went to the Jueying Military Port in Busan, because there is a well-equipped ship repair yard in the Jueying Military Port. , the Lushun acted as the vanguard of the entire team in yesterday's battle, so it will definitely suffer some damage. And the 18th Military Division Zhuge is the captain of the Lushun, so he should be able to move with the ship."
General Tokugawa nodded: "Yao Xi...who can take a trip to Jueying Port?"
"Lord Gongfang, I have a close relationship with Zhuge's Eighteenth Military Advisor, so I can take a trip to Jueying Port."
"Yaoxi," General Tokugawa nodded, "ask Daikoku to always accompany you... Qi Zhao, tell him that the general intends to confer the Tokugawa Miao name on Akong, and she will be the Tokugawa from now on. The river is empty!"
"Oh, Tokugawa Sora?" Tokugawa Qi Zhao immediately understood that General Tokugawa was trying to win over Zhuge!
General Tokugawa suddenly laughed and said to Tokugawa Qi Zhao: "Go and tell the Eighteenth Military Advisor that although Japan is a poor country, it is still a country with a population of more than 30 million... As long as he is willing to be the Friend of Japan, whatever he wants, we, the Tokugawa Shogunate, can still get it for him with all our national efforts.
Even...I can give him the shogunate navy to command, and I can also give him thousands of the most elite samurai troops to help him achieve great achievements! "
"Hayin!"
...
Egypt, Alexandria, on the dock outside Kabat Castle. At this time, there were officials from the Egyptian Governor's Palace in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by groups of new Egyptian officers and soldiers wearing European military uniforms from the Napoleonic Wars and wearing little red hats on their heads. All these people were surrounded by a tall man with a long white beard and a white turban on his head. He was holding a Turkish scimitar in his hand. A pair of deep-set eagle eyes scanned the surrounding Egypt. Military officers and civilian officials, everyone who looked at them trembled, which is called domineering.
In the whole of Egypt, no, in the entire Tianfang Sect world, the person who is still so domineering today must be the Egyptian Governor of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Muhammad Ali Pasha.
In fact, this man is not an Egyptian, but an Albanian military leader. He can't read any Chinese characters. With his bravery and good fighting skills, he destroyed the Mamluk governor after Napoleon ran away from Egypt. He became the governor of Egypt, nominally Turkey. The vassal of the Sultan is actually the king of a country. Under his leadership, Egypt actually launched the "Ali Reform" in a decent manner!
Moreover, the effect of this "Ali Restoration" was no worse than Japan's Meiji Restoration in history, and it also turned Egypt into a small North African power. However, this Ali Pasha cannot do anything to "leave Africa and join the European Union" - after all, he and his men are Tianfang believers, how can they be dogs for Christians? Moreover, Egypt is too close to Europe, so it’s not easy to be a dog!
So Ali Pasha's route was to take Ottoman instead... As a result, he touched the red line of the British Empire!
Of course, Ali Pasha has not yet developed to the point of replacing the Turkish Sultan. He is still a loyal minister of the Sultan, and his army is still helping the Turkish Sultan beat the Greeks. The beating was going smoothly, and Greece was about to be beaten to death, but suddenly Britain, France, Russia, and Austria came together to form an eight-nation coalition to help the Greeks achieve independence... Now Ali Pasha But stupid.
The Eight-Nation Alliance cannot defeat it, and abandoning Turkey... The Eight-Nation Alliance will fight such a big battle just for Greece, right? Maybe they want to destroy the Ottoman Turkish Empire. What will Egypt do then?
When Ali Pasha didn't know what to do, the cruise ship Zhuge Weijiu, the former prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, arrived in the Mediterranean.
Immediately afterwards, even more unbelievable news came from the Turkish Embassy in Ming Dynasty - the Royal Navy of the British Empire had accepted an unknown amount of bribes from the YA film dealers in India, and actually covered their YA film ship to Japan. As a result, those Yipian ships were caught by the Ming Navy during the transaction, and a detachment of the British Indian Fleet actually used force to cover the Yapian ships to escape. In the end, they were beaten up by the Ming Navy. One Sovereign class ship was severely damaged, and one It's such a shame that the Indomitable class sank...
