"Who..." Jin Changsen stood up and turned his head to roar into the darkness behind him, and in the light of the flickering torch, several figures were walking quickly towards him.

Cai Mao, Lin Yuanmiao...... Well... Fan Yao, Fan shopkeeper, didn't you go back to Tanggu, why did you come back again......

"Hehe, do you really want me to go? After I leave, you can do whatever you want? Who do you want to push Ryukyu into this time? Let me think about it, Japan is no longer reliable, you won't choose, the Qing Dynasty has never controlled Ryukyu, and you won't choose ......."

"You may have tried to contact the Americans, but unfortunately the United States will only cooperate with Xiao Letian, you don't have a chance, then the rest is Britain and France......"

"You don't have that way to contact the British, and the British may not be able to look down on the Ryukyus, after all, they have Hong Kong and the Shanghai Concession, which is enough for them...... So you have only one last option, and that's France. ”

Before the old shopkeeper's words fell, Lin Yuanmiao rushed up and spit on Jin Changsen's face with a mouthful of mouthful, "Traitor, traitor... After being a Japanese slave, do you want to be a foreign slave again? I am ashamed to be a minister in the same palace with you..."

At this time, Admiral Cai Mao, who Xiao Lotian personally accepted his fate, also sighed and shook his head: "Brother Jin, if you were forced to take refuge in Japan before, we can still forgive you, but now you can't forgive you if you take refuge in foreigners...... Listen to my advice, go home and think about it behind closed doors, and when the Prime Minister returns, we will intercede for you..."

"Hahaha...... Hahaha..."The thick phlegm on Jin Changsen's head was not wiped at all, and it seemed that he wanted to spit on himself.

"I know you're going to scold me, you're all moral gentlemen, so I'm a villain... But have you ever thought about it, if a weak country wants to survive, it is not you humble gentlemen who rely on it, but always on us villains..."

Jin Changsen's face was full of tears, and all the grievances of his life broke out at this moment: "I am a villain, I admit that I am a villain, but you are not a villain, and I am not a villain, so who will be? You can't be emotional, you must know how to bow to reality..."

"When the Japanese were there, three thousand armor and a fleet of ships crushed our Ryukyu Kingdom to death, at that time, Cai Mao, you were the general of the Imperial Forest Army, tell me how many soldiers we have? Lin Yuanmiao, you are in charge of the household department, how much money do you say we have in the treasury?"

"There are no soldiers, no money, do you only know that you stand on the bank of the river and laugh at us who have fallen into the water? Damn, I don't want to have relations with Japanese and foreigners, I don't want to be a villain, who will be responsible for the safety of Your Majesty?"

Jin Changsen stretched out his hand and pointed at the colleagues who came up and said sadly, "Yes, I admit that I lost my eyes, I didn't expect that the prime minister would have such a rebellious method, and lead a group of people to kill the Japanese thugs cleanly." I'm convinced, I'm completely convinced, even if the Prime Minister killed me at that time, I have no complaints..."

"The Prime Minister didn't kill me, or even take off my official position, and I, Jin Changsen, am not a person who doesn't repay my kindness, and the heart in my chest is not black. If the prime minister is in the Ryukyus, in Shuri Castle, even if foreigners from all over the world come to the door, if I, Kim Nagamori, have the slightest intention of surrendering, I will not be able to die..."

Speaking of this, Jin Changsen took two steps back, leaned against the battlement wall weakly, and said faintly, "But the Prime Minister is not here, but unfortunately the Prime Minister does not know whether the Prime Minister is alive or dead, but it is a pity that we have only developed our strength for one year, what can we do to fight against Xiyi?

"Haha, it's ridiculous, can you be soft if you want to be soft? Do you really think Xiyi is a good man and a woman, you just kowtow and obey soft, you can not blame the past? This is a dream..."Cai Mao was not polite at all at this time, he pointed to Jin Changsen's nose and scolded.

"For more than a year, I don't know how you got here, I'm afraid you haven't read the Prime Minister's Westward Journey Manga, the adults have taught us many small lessons, and I guess you have also fallen on deaf ears..."

"The Prime Minister has said more than once that the future world is an era of great changes and reshuffles, and countless powerful countries will rise and countless weak countries will fall......

"If we had been in the depths of the ocean, far from the busy shipping lanes, if we had hidden in the deserts of North Africa, avoiding the clutches of industrial civilization, perhaps we would have been able to barely maintain our national glory and live in poverty like that, for a hundred or a thousand years, who can say?"

"But our Ryukyu Kingdom is the Wanguo Jinliang in the East China Sea, and it is the keyhole that can control the East Asian seas, and whoever can control it here can lock the gate of East Asia...... As long as we have a strong navy in hand, we can bombard Japan and North Korea to the north, and cover the South China Sea to the south......"

"The coastal trade routes of the Great Qing Dynasty will all be controlled by our artillery, and the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean will also become a place for us to show off our might... Jin Changsen, wake up, Ryukyu is the land of four wars, you want to hide your head and live a small life?

Cai Mao has really grown up, he is a fanatical believer in Xiao Letian's Western studies, and when he completely bowed down to the prime minister's door wall, his main direction of study was modern navy and geopolitics.

Xiao Lotian knows very well what kind of terrifying level the future trend of human science and technology will reach, how the form of war will change in the future, and the competition between countries for global strategic places will reach a white-hot stage.

Obviously, the Ryukyu Kingdom is such a place of four wars, and it may be a little difficult for the great powers in the era of sail battleships to occupy and digest the Ryukyu Kingdom, but with the passage of time, when the productivity of human beings and the destructive power of war increase a little more, I am afraid that Ryukyu will not be so lucky.

The same is true of real history, in 1871, that is, five years later, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan would send troops to capture the Ryukyus, destroy its temple, withdraw its country name, and even capture King Shotai to Japan itself, and from that day on, the Ryukyu Kingdom officially disappeared into the long river of history.

"The ancients said, the husband is not guilty, the precious geographical location of our Ryukyu Islands is that flawless jade, there are too many people staring at us, and the wolves are around us, and we will be eaten clean sooner or later..."

With a bang, Jin Changsen's fist slammed into the battlement wall, his strength was surprisingly strong, and blood was splashed everywhere. The wall-to-wall minister was roaring with all the strength in his chest.

"I know... Of course I know... You've read the adults' books, I've read them, and I haven't pulled down any of your lessons, so I don't understand what you're saying..."

"Woooooooooo......oo But what can I do if I understand it? The gap in strength has been formed, and the survival of a weak country is already so difficult, what do you want me to do? What can I do? What can I do to a dying person who is riddled with all kinds of diseases except to hang my life with ginseng soup?"

"Woo woo, Prime Minister... Why aren't you here, why are you not here? If you were here, there might be a miracle, but you're not there...... We don't understand that world-conquering spirit for our own use..."

This is the cry of the weak country, this is also the reality faced by the weak country, at that moment, everyone, including King Shangtai, put away their resentment towards Jin Changsen, they sighed secretly, they have understood the heart of this old minister.

In the final analysis, Jin Changsen is a pragmatist, he has loyalty in his heart, and he also has his own morality, but he understands that people should bow to reality, and many unfairness Since there is a zài, there is a reason to save zài.

This is a courtier who is kind to the mud, he is not good at using fierce medicine to get rid of the root of the disease, he only knows how to use warm medicinal soup to continue the life of a regime. There are too many such politicians in the history of mankind, not all of them can be heroes who stand at the forefront of the tide, and pragmatists will always be the majority.

The city suddenly became cold, everyone didn't know how to speak, and the royal forest soldiers in the distance hid far away one by one, for fear that the next second would cause a conflict and affect the pond fish.

After a long time, Fan Yao walked up to him with a sigh and whispered, "You have your troubles, but now we have no way out, do you know why I turned back from the sea? Because I have obtained the latest information ......"

"Now the Emperor of France has sent an envoy to gather all the warships in the Indian Ocean that can be used for expeditions, a total of ten warships with a total of six hundred guns, and is killing them from south to north, and we have not received any declaration of war until now...... My good lord, think about it, will these French people appreciate your weakness?"

"What..."Jin Changsen screamed in fright, and then blocked his mouth with his hand.

"The French have gone to war without declaring it, and they have sent a fleet directly to attack us?"

Fan Yi was right, thanks to the good karma left by Xiao Letian, when Tanggu Foreign Bank was attacked by mobs, there was a French merchant ship that helped Xiao Letian, and the captain was named Corsica.

Although Corsica was French, he was also a businessman, and it was because of his close relationship with Lotte that he made a lot of money in these ocean-going trades.

The merchant is chasing profits, and he knows that if the expeditionary fleet destroys Lotte Ocean, it will be difficult to find such a good partner in the future.

Without thinking about it for long, Captain Corsica brought the information that the expeditionary force was about to attack Naha to Naha, and happened to block the old shopkeeper Fan Yao, who was about to return to Tanggu, in the open sea.

Fan Yi was almost paralyzed when he heard this, the city of Naha is too important to his uncle, and he communicated with American cable merchants two days ago, wanting to lay a submarine communication cable from Naha to Tanggu, which shows the importance of this city.

The old shopkeeper didn't say a word, and ordered to return on the spot, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Shuri Castle, he saw the swaying Jin Changsen coming.

"Lord Jin, I have already told you all the information, and now the French are angry and want to carry out a punishment war, although in the art of war, it is not allowed to raise troops in anger, but now that the French have done so, will they accept your show of weakness in anger?"

At this time, Jin Changsen could be regarded as waking up, he suddenly reached out and wiped the old tears on his face, and stood straight again with his waist.

"Undeclared war? This is the intention to destroy my Ryukyu country, since it has already torn its face and is unreasonable, then what is there to be polite, prepare for war..."

"Jin Qing..."The young King Shangtai couldn't believe his ears, he had never seen Jin Changsen so combative, this really responded to Xiao Letian's words.

If a man is not pushed to the Jedi, then even he himself does not know how terrifying he is...
