The sliding door was opened with a bang, and Xiang Shaolong helped the seriously injured Ye Pingtai into the room, probably a little violent just now, and the wound that had already scarred began to bleed again.

"Mr. Xiao, I have very bad news, Kiyoshi Yamamoto and his wild samurai and ronin will soon take action against the Chinese in Naha Port, and the ninjas under the old hands of the Kayama family have also been involved...... Sorry, I didn't find out the specific plan and time......"

Xiao Lotian knew that these Japanese would not give up, and it seemed that his anger against himself would definitely be sprinkled on ordinary people. And judging by the attitude of these Japanese, as long as they leave here, they will definitely find a way to coerce the king of the Ryukyus, and attack all the pro-China factions, and even their own status as prime minister may be dismissed.

Xiao Letian knew that he had a name for himself as a peerless national warrior, and these Japanese people didn't dare to directly destroy miè physically, but others were unlucky. Xiao Lotian stood up and went back and forth in the room like a trapped beast, he kept calculating all kinds of possibilities, and all kinds of deductions flashed in his mind.

Everyone didn't dare to disturb him, now that Naha's situation was in danger, no one knew where the bottom line of the Shimazu family was, and if the whole thing got out of control, 100,000 Chinese would definitely suffer a catastrophe.

Time passed little by little, and when Xiang Shaolong helped Ye Pingtai bandage the last wound, the swordsman suddenly interrupted Xiao Letian's contemplation.

"Mr. Xiao, I must remind you that Japan is very chaotic now, the samurai class has gradually lost order, and many rules have been broken...... You may be a warrior of great prestige, but in the eyes of some Japanese samurai, your prestige does not protect you......"

"I don't know if you've heard of those people who are 'Honored Princes'? I don't know if you know the Shinsengumi, who were raised by the Tokugawa family? Those people are insane, they have no reason at all, they kill people without thinking about the consequences......"

Xiao Lotian sighed in his heart after hearing this, he counted this one by a thousand times, and now the low-level samurai of Japan have all entered a state of rage, and they are the vanguard of killing people in the great change.

Historically, the Takeshi Hanheita group of the Tosa Koin Prince's party, as well as the Shinsengumi who are now in the limelight, are all famous for their violent assassinations.

"Are you saying that Ryukyu is not the only one in Shimazu now, and other forces in Japan have also infiltrated?" asked Xiao Letian nervously.

"Hay, I don't know the details, but I at least know that there is a big force behind this group of ninjas......

Xiao Lotian almost didn't smash the tatami mat with a punch, "Go and ask Mr. Mike Carnegie, I have an important task for him...... Let Liang Kun immediately concentrate his forces on standby, and warn all Chinese merchants by the way, let them be vigilant, and let them gather with me immediately in the event of a conflict......"

"Shi Ye, you can contact the inner line of Shuri Castle again, and let King Shangtai be ready, Naha Port is likely to be in chaos, among which the safety of King Shangtai is the most important, Shuri Castle must be defended to the death......"

"Luo Huo and Sima Yun, start distributing the armament immediately, all the bullets must be distributed, and everyone must be ready for battle......" Saying this, Xiao Letian looked at the officers gathered under his subordinates and whispered.

"Brothers, this is not China, this is the port of Naha on the horizon of the world, and it is the Ryukyu, a vassal state of our China. We don't want war, but we must not be afraid of it, and if you do, I just want you to remember who you are...... We are Chinese Don't be embarrassed by the word China......"

Xiao Letian stood up suddenly, and roared with a flushed face, "Lao Tzu will give you a chance to leave a name in history today, you don't want the exploits of Chen Tang and Ban Dingyuan, Lao Tzu wants, the ancestors of 36 people can pacify a country, now we have two hundred and sixty warriors, and 100,000 Chinese as the backing, if you don't even have the courage to fight, what kind of man is it?"

One sentence stirred up the blood of everyone present, "Sir, rest assured, this is a national war, and none of the brothers is a bad seed!"

Just when Xiao Letian's side began to prepare for the battle, Hachiro and the Fog Hidden Imp had already gathered thousands of ronin. Due to the mixture of Japanese, Han and indigenous people in Naha Port for hundreds of years, there are no obvious large-scale settlements. In order to facilitate the attack, Hasachiro and the others dismantled thousands of ronins and hid them in ten large hidden warehouses.

It is precisely because of this small-scale gathering of people that it has escaped the suspicion of the Han people in the city. In a warehouse, wooden boxes are filled with rice balls and sake, and Kohachiro is also considered to have made a lot of money, this kind of rice balls mixed with seaweed and plums, which he is usually reluctant to eat, but today he used them all to reward his subordinates.

"Brothers, wait here with peace of mind, waiting for our signal, this group of Qing slaves is too arrogant, we must let them know the rules...... Don't be afraid, I've already got the approval of Lord Kayama, and then the three thousand ashigaru will come to our aid, and even the Ataka ship at sea will provide us with support......"

These ronins were still a little worried, but when they learned that the elder of the Birakiyama family and the general Yamamoto were clearly supportive, the rampant energy in Little Japan's heart rose again.

"Hachiro rest assured, we have long seen that those Chinese are unhappy, they have accumulated so much wealth, and they are not even happy to pay protection money, this time we must kill them for a long time, so that they will always remember who is the master of Naha Port...... Cheers!"

The atmosphere in Naha Port has become more and more eerie, and now even the foreign merchants all over the city are a little aware of it, the Japanese ronin who used to be ubiquitous in the past has almost all disappeared today, and there are many fewer Japanese workers with towels on their heads and clogs on their feet, and ninety percent of the docks are Han Chinese and indigenous laborers.

Immediately after that, a piece of gossip spread among the foreigners, it turned out that the Qing scholar Xiao and the Japanese had a strict conflict, and the two sides were negotiating secretly, but they were not good stubble, and violent and bloody clashes were likely to occur.

"Oh my God, this scholar Xiao Ke really doesn't look like a Qing countryman, don't they only have a civil war......? What? You say that the scholar Shaw grew up in Europe and is now an American citizen? Then it's no wonder that people who have received a modern education naturally have our own unique pride......

As the sun sank in the west, many businesses in the port of Naha closed early, and even the taverns, brothels, and gambling halls that were originally open all night only opened a crack in the door, and some even closed their doors altogether. The whole city was plunged into an inexplicable agitation.

Just as the port of Naha was preparing for war, the port of Kagoshima, the southernmost port of the Japanese mainland, north of the Ryukyu Islands, had just welcomed a long-distance ship.

In the high castle tower of Kagoshima Shimazu Home Castle, the family governor Shimazu Tadayoshi is accompanied by his father Shimazu Hisamitsu, and they check the information between the daimyos in various places, and the father regent, who is patiently teaching his son how to be a good family governor.

At this moment, the little surname suddenly came to report, "Lord Kaiyu, a messenger sent by Naha Port to bring 100,000 urgent information...... After speaking, he pushed the neatly folded letter in front of the governor.

Shimazu Tadashi and his son looked at each other in puzzlement, and when they opened the letter and read it at a glance, they actually exclaimed in surprise at the same time, "Nani, dozens of Qing people want to challenge our Shimazu family's 250-year rule?"

At this time, in the castle town, the lively tavern is full of the laughter of geisha, these Japanese women with white powder on their faces, drinking sake with open arms, and the young people in the screen are holding a half-naked woman in their left and right hands, shaking their heads and listening to the play of the third line.

"Ryomasan...... How many days are you going to stay in Kagoshima this time?, don't you miss you more after the last separation...... "It seems that these geisha are still regular customers, and they even rudely pounce on them and kiss them."

While the young man was enjoying the wine, food and beautiful women, a person suddenly broke in from outside the tavern door, and Ashigaru was covered in sweat and the smell of the sea, and he didn't even take off the bamboo armor on his body.

"Hey, hey, this is a place for the masters to play, what are you breaking into a foot light ......" The waiter at the door wanted to blast out, but this ashigaru shouted when he entered the door, "Sakamoto Ryoma-sama is not there, Sakamoto Ryoma-sama is not there, I am a messenger sent by Takenaka Inoue-sama......"

At this time, the young man who was enjoying the game suddenly changed his face, his eyes flashed, he jumped up and walked out of the screen fence, "I am Sakamoto Ryoma, what letter do you want to give to Takenaka-kun?"

"Someone, take this messenger to dinner, I have something to ask him in a while......" After saying that, Sakamoto Ryoma opened the letter, but his face changed as soon as he looked at it twice, grabbed the messenger and asked a few words, then turned around and ran, heading straight for the main city of the Shimazu family.

This young man named Ryoma Sakamoto was the devotee of the famous 'Eight Strategies in the Boat' in history, and belonged to the elite faction of the upper echelons of the Restoration. His 'Eight Policies in the Boat' basically determined the political pattern of modern Japan, and the Tokugawa family returned power to the emperor, carried out a constitutional monarchy, held a parliament, formulated a constitution, formed a navy, and even reformed the currency, which were basically involved in the Eight Policies in the Ship.

In the process of constitution-making after the Meiji era, the Eight Policies of the Funnaka were basically copied in the original text, which shows the importance of these eight policies. It can be said that if Ryoma Sakamoto had not died in that bizarre assassination incident, if he had lived a little longer, he would definitely have become one of the strongest politicians of the Meiji government.

What Ito Hirobumi and Yama Prefecture Aritomo, the two big Buddhas in the imperial court in the Meiji period, are only at the level of a junior brother in front of Sakamoto Ryoma.

Now Sakamoto Ryoma is moving along the historical track that Xiao Lotian is familiar with, he came to Kagoshima with an important mission, and the alliance between the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain, that is, he is presiding, and the Southwest Alliance of the Shogun Movement is about to be formed in his hands, which shows the importance of this person to the history of Japan.

Ryoma Sakamoto ran wild on the street, and the samurai who knew him thought that something had happened, so they threw down their wine glasses and chased after them, and the angry Ryoma blasted them like flies, "Go away, you all go away......"

When Ryoma broke into the castle tower, the angry father and son almost sent troops to reinforce Naha, and Ryoma knew that things were not going to be easy when he saw that the faces of the two powerful factions of the Shimazu family were not good.

"Shimazu-sama, don't be impulsive, it's very irrational for you to be angry about the Ryukyus. I take the liberty of asking, do you know Xiao Letian? How much information do you have about Xiao Letian? Do you know what the consequences of starting a war are? Don't be so reckless......

Ryoma Sakamoto almost roared as he said this, and the two adults who were shocked at the time almost jumped up, "Nani, Xiao Lotian is so terrifying...... K
