"why?"
Emperor Koge asked.
The three young people looked at each other with worries in their eyes.
With the emperor's appearance, there is no way he can be related to the emperor.
Moreover, the current emperor has no sons, only a princess was born last year, and it is not known whether he can have another son.
In addition, other princes seemed to have few heirs.
Could it be that God's bloodline is too noble to have many children and happiness? (In fact, it is caused by inbreeding).
"How can we not die? Today in the world of China, heroes are born, and heroes rule the world. In just a few years, they expel the Tartars, revive the Ming Dynasty, set up industry, and expand the territory! And what about Japan? The shogunate has no intention of making progress at all. It is still closed to the country, and no one can see any hope. Japan is now lagging behind the Ming Dynasty and lagging behind the Westerners. It has been like this for a long time, twenty or thirty years later, and now all the other countries in the world of China are related to the Ming Dynasty. Regarding vassal relations, Japan is the only one outside the Shenzhou system. The relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Japan is still good, but the relationship between countries can change at any time. If Japan does not strengthen itself, it will not even have the ability to protect itself in the future."
When Emperor Guangge heard this, his expression did not change, and he looked very enigmatic.
But actually he was a little confused.
National affairs.
He never cares about it and can't control it.
So he never thought about these questions at all.
I thought that although he was the emperor, he had no power at all.
He is more of an actor than an emperor.
He plays a character named Mikado.
So his acting skills are very high.
Know what role to play with what kind of people.
Facing a feudal lord like Taibo from Kagoshima, Satsumabo, he naturally had to show the demeanor of a wise king.
Taibo Zhiguo continued: "Today, Japan's only hope lies in the emperor. Japan has a population of 30 million and hundreds of thousands of samurai. If we follow the example of the Ming Dynasty and establish a centralized state, Japan can rely on hundreds of thousands of samurai to possess With millions of tigers and tigers, no matter whether it is the West or the Ming Dynasty, we, Japan, cannot be underestimated!"
In fact, this theory was not first proposed by Taibao Zhiguo.
But two or three years ago.
There is a huge market in the territory of the southwestern vassals.
Centralized power and warrior rule?
Does Japan really have the foundation to become a great nation?
Emperor Guangge thought.
I'm afraid it's the delusion of these poor samurai who can't even afford food.
He was noncommittal.
But they didn't blast the three of them out.
Instead, the three of them were left to have a dinner of only rice and salted fish.
Finally, in the reluctant eyes of Emperor Guangge.
Toobao and the other three resigned.
Sake brewery in Kyoto.
On the large signboard with the word "wine", the restaurant with three floors looks very luxurious.
In the private room on the top floor.
Several Westerners and several Japanese sat opposite each other.
The Westerners were headed by the British diplomat George Stonedon.
And several Japanese people exchanged cups with them.
Three of them went to meet the emperor, Taitao Zhiguo, Saigo Yongsheng, and Kido Katsuki.
However, the three of them all knelt down and sat behind an old man respectfully.
"Mr. Gao Jin, it is said that the Emperor of Heaven has decided to intervene in Japan's affairs."
George Standong stared at the old Japanese man in front of him and said.
Takashin Shota, a retainer of the Shimazu family, the lord of the Satsuma domain.
The fact that he appeared here and mingled with several Westerners showed that the man behind the instigation of centralizing power in Japan, abolishing the shogunate, and implementing real monarchy was actually related to the southwestern vassals.
"The Emperor of Heaven has been meddling in Japan's affairs for a long time!"
Gao Jin Shengtai said.
He pointed to the Ming Dynasty newspapers published locally in Japan, such as the [Riyuebao] and [Ta Kung Pao] in front of him.
"Now the great emperor is the idol of many young Japanese samurai. His reputation and prestige in Japan are probably not even matched by the shogunate and the emperor combined!"
George Staunton couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
He knew that Gao Jin Shengtai was right.
If Japan is a woman.
This woman had already fallen in love with Ming Dynasty.
No matter how hard diplomats from Western countries work in Japan, it is difficult to make most forces in Japan have a favorable impression of Westerners.
Even Gao Jin Shengtai, who is working with him in front of him, is like this.
The most the other party can do is use the power of the British.
As long as the Ming Emperor shows a little respect for Japan and gives Japan a little benefit.
This country will fall into the arms of the Ming Dynasty again - just look at the newspapers from the Ming Dynasty and the Mingxue Taoist temples everywhere.
Many Japanese samurai hope to join the Ming Dynasty's army or even take the Ming Dynasty's honors.
The elites of Japan are proud to be ministers of the Emperor of Heaven.
Georges Standong, who was originally full of expectations for Japan, showed a wry smile.
It is really difficult to fight against a country like the Ming Empire.
Even the most troublesome Britons.
Now I am speechless about the admiration that the countries in the Eastern world have for the Ming Empire, that is, the Chinese Empire.
These people regard learning Chinese as their content and Chinese culture as their content.
They even call themselves Chinese and belittle non-Chinese phenomena as barbarians.
The Ming Empire is equivalent to Rome in the Western world.
the difference is.
The Rome of the Eastern World.
Still alive.
Still very powerful.
Still full of energy.
Just when Georges Dangdong was thinking about it.
On the streets of Kyoto.
There was a sudden burst of cheers.
George Stanton listened carefully.
What was heard was a shout of long live.
"Long live! Long live!!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!!"
"Long live the Emperor!!!"
Georges Dangdong was stunned again and again.
After so many years in China, his Chinese has become very good.
Of course he could hear what these samurai were shouting.
They are cheering for the emperor of another country,
but
why?
Why is there cheering for no reason?
soon.
A samurai with a samurai sword on his waist came in a hurry.
He glanced at Georges Standong and other Westerners with cold eyes, and then whispered a few words in Gao Jin Shengtai's ear.
George Standong waited for the warrior to exit before asking: "Mr. Gao Jin, what happened."
Gao Jin Shengtai was silent for a moment, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Ming Dynasty Mansion just posted an announcement that the Ming Dynasty will openly recruit 30,000 warriors in Kyoto for the Nanyang war!"
George Standong's expression changed slightly.
How could the natives of Nanyang resist 30,000 Japanese samurai who looked like wolves and tigers?
The combat target of 30,000 Japanese samurai.
Nine times out of ten it’s not Nanyang!
But Australia!
But this is no longer what George Standong is more concerned about.
He pushed open the window.
What he saw was a scene that made his scalp tingle.
A large number of samurai shouted long live in the streets.
There were also people holding high the Great Bright Sun and Moon Flag.
Someone held up a portrait of the Ming Emperor.
Fanatic chanting.
During this period, Britain invested a lot of energy in Japan, tempting and wooing.
However.
Emperor Ming only needed to say in Japan that he would expand the number of Japanese warrior regiments under his command.
It can make the whole of Japan crazy.
British efforts in Japan.
Failed.
