"Lord Shangguo, can I ask if I can go down and persuade Kayama Kurigen to lay down his weapon?" Just as Xiao Lotian was about to give the order to recruit Luo Huo's musket team to fight, Sakamoto Ryoma finally couldn't help it, and he humbly bowed to Xiao Lotian ninety degrees.

Xiao Lotian looked up and down at this famous minister of the Restoration in Japanese history, and he was not shocked on the surface, but he secretly shouted hello in his heart. This is really a rare great man in Japan, and there is absolutely no unique stinginess of the Japanese nation in his aura, on the contrary, Xiao Lotian smells the same kind of smell.

"Sakamoto Ryoma, right! I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time, I think you have a general understanding of the cause and effect on the way into the city, I wonder if you are ready for the adjustment of the world? Haha, of course, you and Lord Katsukaishu just negotiated the Shikoku incident with Shikoku last year, and you must have a lot of experience......

How could Ryoma Sakamoto not understand the threat in Xiao Letian's mouth, he said with a wry smile, "The negotiation has not started yet, it is too early to talk about this, the most important thing at the moment is to end the bloody conflict immediately, isn't it?"

"Hmph! You can provoke it if you want to, and end it when you want to end it? Aren't you the life of our Chinese? The anger in the hearts of the 100,000 Chinese in the city is not something that you can appease with an understatement, and even I don't have that much ability!"

Sakamoto Ryoma still maintained a bowing posture, but his head had already been raised, and he stared at Xiao Letian with blazing eyes, "Of course Mr. Xiao has such a ability, you are now the soul of all Chinese in the Ryukyu Kingdom, as long as you open your mouth, even if these people follow you to counterattack the mainland, I don't think it will be difficult......"

Damn! Xiao Letian almost didn't jump, this is really an opponent! This threat is too level, on the surface, it is to praise my high prestige, but it immediately points out the fear in my heart. After all, he is a scholar who became famous in the Qing Dynasty, and everything he does now is very jealous of the Manchu court.

A highly prestigious master of Western studies can actually become the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he still has an army in his hand that can conduct national wars, and even has 100,000 people as his foundation. Oh yes, there should be more than 100,000 now, with the identity of the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, as long as it is carefully managed, the millions of natives of the Ryukyu Kingdom will also become a force under Xiao Letian's command.

Fighting a snake has to hit seven inches, this Sakamoto Ryoma is worthy of being a famous politician who dedicated the eight strategies in the boat, and he is worthy of being a new master who laid the framework of modern Japanese politics, and his vision and analytical ability are not bad at all compared to himself.

After a short period of anger, Xiao Lotian actually felt a little sympathy in his heart. "Sakamoto Ryoma...... Shibu Tosa, proficient in swordsmanship since childhood, and later devoted himself to Western studies because of the Black Ship Incident, and studied under Katsu Haizhou for the cause of the Restoration......"

Xiao Lotian calmly narrated the life of Ryoma Sakamoto, and when Ryoma heard some of his more secret things and let Xiao Lotian spy on him, his waist was lower, and the sweat on his forehead was more.

After talking for five minutes, Xiao Letian finally sneered, "Long Majun, I admire your ambition, so I give you a chance, you can go and persuade Huashan Liyuan, but please cherish the opportunity I gave you and don't engage in some petty schemes, because you don't know how much background I have, but I know all your secrets......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Lotian suddenly walked to Sakamoto Ryoma's side, leaned into his ear and said, "I know your ideals, you want to let Japan shed the least amount of blood, and complete the reform of high-level politics, and you hope that Japan will let all forces put aside their disputes without a civil war......"

"You are very smart, you are too smart, you understand a truth, if Japan wants to be strong, it must put aside disputes, first work collectively to carry out industrialization and political reform, wait until the country has the power to protect itself, and then negotiate the distribution of interests, you can figure out this way to minimize the impact of the changes of the times......?

"But don't mess with me, you have to believe in my bad deeds, the fragile peace in Japan can't withstand my interference at all, this is not a threat to you, this is just a fact to explain to you......"

At this point, Ryoma Sakamoto was already trembling, and he suddenly found that he was not facing a person at all, but a devil who was proficient in mind reading.

"Why? Why do you have such a guess? I'm just a little wild samurai in Japan, a ronin without a lord, and you're a top scholar in the kingdom......"

Xiao Letian put away his momentum at this time, and patted Long Majun's shoulder easily, "Go, let the soldiers in the barracks on the top of the mountain surrender unconditionally, this is a prerequisite for starting negotiations, don't challenge my patience......" After speaking, he turned his head and returned to the table, and continued to deal with official business.

"Liang Kun! Take the Japanese envoy to the barracks, give him a quarter of an hour to negotiate, and if the time is up, if he still doesn't surrender, give me the slaughter camp......"

"Yes, my lord!" Liang Kun saluted and left Shuri Castle with the pale Sakamoto Ryoma, and ran towards the courtyard of Kayama Kurigen.

At this time, Xiang Shaolong had already returned to Xiao Letian's side from the sea, he frowned and said to Xiao Letian, "Sir, without my protection in the future, don't get close to these Japanese, I felt it just now, this person named Ryoma has released murderous aura three times, he has had the urge to draw a knife three times, he wants to kill you......"

"Oh, three times, I only felt it twice. Shi Dakai, who was sitting on the side, thought carefully.

Xiao Lotian pursed his lips, "There are people who want to kill me, but there are not many more than him." But I know he won't kill me, because I'm essentially the same kind of person as him...... Okay, don't talk about him, don't be idle, I still have a task for you to do......"

As he spoke, the Imperial Forest Army of Shurijo Castle pushed out a middle-aged man with a big tie, it was Jin Changsen, who had been arrested in defeat. Xiao Lotian motioned to his subordinates to untie him.

"Jin Shangshu, can you guess what I saw about you?" Xiao Lotian said playfully. And Jin Changsen rubbed his numb wrist, "I am already a mortal person, there is no need for the Prime Minister to see me again, a few soldiers pushed me to the beach, which is my final end." But you still have to see me, and for the only reason I'm still useful. ”

"Let me think about it...... I don't have anything now, and I'm afraid that the secrets that can get into the eyes of the prime minister are the ones I know in my head. I know all the secrets of the Japanese, and I also know where their hidden assets are, and I even have a private message from the head of the Shimazu family in my hand, I think you will be able to use it when you negotiate......

Xiao Lotian slapped his thigh, "Smart, really a smart person." I'm not going to talk nonsense, you pour out all the secrets, change your family's livelihood, and I can even leave you half of the family property, how about this deal?"

Jin Changsen's eyes suddenly appeared with hope again, and he said deeply, "How dare you not die for the prime minister!"

"Haha, okay, Shi Ye, you take a few guards, let Jin Changsen lead the way, first copy the Japanese and hardcore pro-Japanese industries, whether it is businessmen or officials, all of them will be copied for me, I think how can these people have a wealth of millions of taels in the past few hundred years!"

"More ......" Jin Changsen is now very self-conscious, and he will reveal the truth without asking, "Prime Minister Mingjian, as long as you give me enough manpower, I can still get out of several secret warehouses set up by the Shimazu family on the island, as long as you let me do it, I will also be the prime minister for two million ...... in half a month"

Xiao Letian looked at the back of Jin Changsen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's still easy to use a villain, with this two million fortune turnaround, the things in front of him are not so stretched.

Just as Xiao Lotian began to liquidate the property of the Ryukyu Kingdom's treasury, the mansion of Kayama Kurigen on the top of the mountain finally ushered in the savior Sakamoto Ryoma.

"Ryoma-kun!Sakamoto-sama...... We are guilty, we are guilty......" As soon as Ryoma Sakamoto entered the house, a group of wounded samurai knelt on the tatami mats with their heads on the ground, and it was none other than Kayama Kuriten, Yamamoto Kiyoshi and Takenaka Inoue.

Sakamoto Ryoma ignored them, just looked around at the courtyard and the barracks behind him, and when he saw groups of dejected soldiers and ordinary Japanese people like frightened birds, the young man closed his eyes in pain.

"Surrender, we have no choice now, there is only one way to surrender......" Sakamoto Ryoma didn't finish speaking, Yamamoto Kiyoshi suddenly jumped up, "The Qing people promised not to slaughter the city?

"Yaga, you idiot, the incident has evolved like this, your sin is the greatest, and you dare to rap now!" Sakamoto Ryoma is not a weak civil official, and his swordsmanship is not even inferior to Noheita. I saw him rush up, grab Yamamoto Kiyoshi by the collar, and throw the mountain-like Yamamoto general out of the courtyard with an over-the-shoulder fall, knocking down the rockery.

"Baga, Baga! Did you eat too much sashimi and burned your brains, why did you deal with Xiao Letian and slaughter ordinary people? What is the sin of those hard-working Chinese, you are still colluding with scoundrels like Hachiro, and your brains are full of dung?"

Enraged, Sakamoto Ryoma suppressed all the Japanese present, and it was only then that he sat down on the main seat and took several deep breaths to calm down.

Kayama Kurigen and the others looked at Sakamoto Ryoma in horror, although he did not have any daimyo and did not have any official position, but as one of the leaders of the Restoration, his prestige has surpassed that of ordinary daimyos.

The Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain, the two local daimyos that have been in constant friction for generations, gradually came together through his matchmaking, and now they have basically reached the intention of an alliance, and the Tosa Domain and the Hizen Domain have gradually accepted the idea of the Restoration under his skillful arrangement of wearing flowers.

The alliance of the four feudatories in the southwest is basically about to take shape, and Sakamoto Ryoma is a great contributor. Now such an influential 'wild samurai' and 'ronin' sat on the main seat of the hall, and none of the Japanese present was unconvinced.

"Count all the military expenses, weapons, armor, and all kinds of materials in your hands, not only on the surface, but also on what you have hidden, and after a quarter of an hour all your goods will be dedicated to the people who asked for it, and the only way to do this is to surrender unconditionally...... I'm going to save the lives of you idiots first......"

"During this time, be kind to Yamamoto Kiyoyo, and let him be ready for seppuku...... And you, if Xiao Letian's anger can't be calmed down, you mid-level generals must also be prepared for seppuku......"

A tragic atmosphere poured out, and all the generals prostrated on the tatami mats, and none of them had any objections.
