Xiang Ying: After all, they are just a group of students, although they can know some secrets because of their identity, but they don't know the core secrets, so they just want to buy a batch of ammunition from the Shimazu family, and they didn't get this request in the end.

Wang Huaiyuan and Sakamoto Ryoma are different, they don't care about the weapons and equipment in the Shimazu family's treasury at all, because they know that Xiao Lotian believes in the cunning rabbit three caves the most, and the prime minister's secret hands are too many to count, and the weapons and equipment secretly hidden in Japan are enough to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate.

Ryoma Sakamoto spent two days in the inner city talking tensely, and all he wanted was the soldiers of the Shimazu family, who were the first soldiers in Japan to come into contact with Western tactics.

Now that the war situation is tense, Wang Huaiyuan can't explain many details to the children, and the political level of these students is still not profound enough, and they have not understood the key points in the whole thing.

Many people think that it is easier to borrow supplies, after all, the Shimazu family does not dare to turn against the French, and secretly making some money by making some arms can be regarded as a good fate. If the samurai of the Shimazu family went to the battlefield in person, it would be a complete reversal with the French, and this would be an all-out war.

On the surface, this principle seems to be like this, but in the eyes of the politicians who really formulate national policies, this truth does not make sense.

First of all, choosing to lend some war materials to the Ryukyus will not have a head-on conflict with the French on the surface, but the filth in the heart has also appeared, and a little gunpowder will not change the situation of the war, and the possibility of Ryukyu defeat is still very high.

If you support a loser, then the Shimazu family will not only not get any return on investment in the future, but will also have conflicts with the French.

The Shimazu family was directly involved in the Ryukyu War, not only giving supplies but also to the soldiers, so that the Shimazu family's samurai and the new army could fight side by side.

If the Ryukyus win, the Shimazu family will completely turn over, not only washing away the previous hatred between the two sides, but also being able to get on Xiao Letian's chariot and get his own cake in his grand strategy.

Since ancient times, the fortune of the country is gambling, the Shimazu family is not afraid of failure, they are only afraid that the return after betting is not high enough, the political zhì family is actually a potential careerist, and their way of settling accounts is different from that of the small people.

Sakamoto Ryoma and Shimazu said this truth for two whole days, and at that time, Shimazu's heart was already alive, but the last kick was not played by Sakamoto Ryoma and Wang Huaiyuan, and the whole negotiation ended with four college students who didn't know anything.

Just after Kayama Kuriten boarded the Wave Crusher, in the castle tower of Kagoshima Inner Castle in the north, Tadayoshi Shimazu and his father Shimazu Hisamitsu stood on the railing, letting the night wind blow in their faces, and the sound of the waves in the distance came rhythmically.

Behind the two of them, where was the paper screen that Xiang Ying and the others had destroyed, and no one had come to repair it at all, Shimazu and his son had been thinking here all day, and they had not left the castle tower since they secretly left from Kayama Kurigen.

"Father...... Do you think my decision was correct? Is it really the right thing to tie the Shimazu family to Xiao Lotian's chariot?" Shimazu Tadayoshi asked softly.

Shimazu Hisamitsu did not answer positively, "Child, you are now the governor of the family, you should take such a responsibility, you have to think about it, the moment you make this decision, what is the force in your heart that supports you?"

Shimazu Tadayoshi, who was in his twenties, twitched unnaturally when he heard this, and he smashed his fist on the wooden railing, "That's right, I can't forget my original intention, it was this group of college students who made me make up my mind..."

"Amaterasu is on top, what kind of magic does Xiao Lotian know, he can actually educate such a vigorous young man... Yes, I feel a strong vitality from them, a group of official eunuchs, the mouths of the Qing people, actually dare to kidnap me in the main city of the Shimazu family?"

"Hahahaha......" Shimazu's Tadayoshi laughed far and wide along the sea breeze.

"The children of nobles and officials dare to work so hard and give their lives, so you can imagine how popular the Ryukyus have become... It's terrible, it's terrible, even if it's a foreigner, I've never seen such vigor..."

"The Shimazu family has been blessed by the heroic spirits of the past generations, and we have been blessed with a long martial arts... If we succeed, we will be able to reach the top power circle in East Asia, and we will definitely become the number one in Japan......"

"Don't be afraid if you fail...... I, Tadashi Shimazu, would like to go to Paris in person, I would like to cut my stomach in front of the French Emperor, and I could appease the anger of the French with my blood...... At that time, our Shimazu family will not die..."

Madness, this is the national root of Japanese madness, death is a return to their hometown for them, and the accumulation of a hundred years is only for an instant explosion and release.

"Someone," shouted the crazy head of the Shimazu family, and then a ninja came down from the beam, "Release all the ninjas, monitor all the Westerners and suspicious characters, create all kinds of chaos and interfere with the sight of the foreigners, and fight for the fighters of our brave samurai..."

"Hail—" The samurai rolled over and jumped off the cliff like a swallow, and disappeared behind the rocks in a short time.

That night, the civilian area next to the Kagoshima business district suddenly flooded, and thick smoke and fire rose into the sky, and countless people were scurrying around in fear, and the people and soldiers fighting the fire were in chaos.

The foreign adults who live in the commercial area are not invulnerable immortals, and they flee to the sea with their bare furry thighs when they see the fire, as long as they escape to the merchant ship, they will be safe.

However, I didn't expect that the harbor was not very peaceful, and it was not only the foreigners' merchant ships who escaped from the harbor, but also the Japanese merchants who had to flee for their lives.

"Bastard... Are you blind, why did you hit our boat, and if we didn't give way, we would shoot......"

No one paid attention to the shouts of the foreigners, and the flames in the slums were about to burn down.

There was a traffic jam on the harbor, and there was a great chaos of ships bumping into each other.

The Japanese people have a lot of experience in dealing with fires, even if they catch fire in the middle of the night, even if they are wooden houses, not many people die in the fire, and those soldiers and civilians quickly demolish the houses, tear down a ring of isolation belts, and let him burn the houses inside.

The fire was under control, and just as people were calming down a little and preparing to return to their homes, an accident occurred. I saw more than a dozen Shimazu boats rushing out of the spurs and shouting at the people on the sea.

"No one was allowed to leave the port, but the treasury of the inner city was stolen, and five thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver were gone...... All the ships are inspected..."

After all, the Shimazu family is the master of the Satsuma Domain, and even if the foreigners are tyrannical, they must give a certain amount of politeness, and it is natural to cooperate with the government investigation, even if they go to Europe, it makes sense.

Countless foreigners lamented the bad luck, but they also had to cooperate, but how did they know that this was just the beginning of a series of chaos.

For a whole night, the open flames in the fire field did not completely dissipate, and the lost gold and silver were not found, and the whole of Kagoshima was in chaos, and under the tough attitude of the Shimazu family, not a single foreign merchant ship was allowed to leave the port for two days in a row.

On the third day, the more terrible news came, those homeless refugees living in the woods outside the city, there was an outbreak of plague, and this terrible news frightened the foreigners all crazy.

"Run, I can't stay here in Kagoshima..."The foreigners packed up and tried to run away, but at this time they wanted to leave, but they couldn't go anymore, and a large group of Japanese doctors and soldiers blocked them all in their homes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may have been infected with the plague now, and you can't leave during this time, our head of the family said, give you food and drink, when the plague has passed, you can leave......"

Cure the sick and save people, what a great slogan, this reason is so bright that all foreigners can't oppose it, and it is the careful planning of the Shimazu family that makes the entire foreigner spy network fall into chaos, and Molière, who is fighting in the Ryukyus, does not get a trace of information about Kagoshima in the end.

The Shimazu family fought hard in order to get on Xiao Lotte's warship.

Amami Oshima is a small and fertile island between the main island of the Ryukyus and Kyushu, and the brown sugar produced here has long been a treasure in Japan, and the Shimazu family has made a lot of money on this large island with countless sugar cane fields, sugar mills, and high-quality wood in the mountains.

The secret warehouse of the Restorationists was set up in the sugar mill deep in the mountains, and you could enter the hidden cave by bypassing the workshop that turned around the curve.

"So many supplies, a lot of foreign guns, a lot of grenades, and gunpowder...... There's even canned meat from the West, how did the Prime Minister manage it?"

Wang Huaiyuan held the horse lantern and said with a smile: "The prime minister has risen in East Asia in just over two years, and he can even go to Europe to participate in the continental war, and there is no big picture? These secret warehouses, even I don't know how many, Sakamoto Ryoma knows only a part..."

At this time, Huashan Liyuan also walked in with an envious expression, "What a big deal, how much does it cost to do this? Qingguo is really rich, too rich......"

"... What is the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty? Is that the prosperity of China good? The Manchus are a bunch of vampires, and our prime minister is just rescuing a small part of their wasted money to do our big thing..."

"When the prime minister can really dominate China single-handedly, you can see when the time comes, and then you will be able to see the real big deals, the big picture... The blueprint that the Prime Minister drew for us in the small class is something you never dreamed of..."

Huashan Liyuan let these children grab the white, and they were not angry, but their expressions were a little embarrassed, and then he asked, "We have weapons and ammunition, and we also have soldiers, how should we fight, please come up with a plan..."

What Kayama Kurigen asked was exactly what everyone was going to discuss, and Sakamoto Ryoma took out a scroll of maps from his arms and said, "There are already several sets of plans, how to fight in the end, or brainstorming, come and see......"

In the dim light of the horses, a group of heads were pressed together, and the battle situation began to be deduced one by one.
