Takasugi Shinsaku's death, Yama Prefecture Yutomo and Saigo Takamori are absolutely directly responsible, if it weren't for the fact that they still tried to gamble on the last one when the battle situation was already obviously unfavorable, then Takasugi Shinsaku would not have died.

In the Shogunate faction, Takasugi Shinsaku's reputation is very high, and Yama Prefecture Aritomo is actually not of the same magnitude as him at all, but due to various reasons, the Choshu Domain still chose Yama Prefecture Aritomo as the representative of the coalition army, and Saigo Takamori is also faintly a little estranged from Takasugi Shinsaku.

Xiao Lotian didn't bother to analyze the motives of these people, in fact, if you think about it, it should be the same as the motive of hating Sakamoto Ryoma, before the cause of the curtain has been won, these people have already begun to think about how to divide the fruits of victory.

But the despicable will never discover their meanness, just as the crow never thinks that he is black and ugly, and the Japanese samurai, who have no reflective spirit, will naturally pass the buck for all their sins.

When Xiao Lotian was silent for three minutes and was about to turn around and leave, Youpeng of Shan County suddenly spoke: "This is what you want......?"

Xiao Letian was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Youpeng in Shanxian County, "Are you talking about me? You actually put the guilt of the more than 10,000 soldiers who died on my head?"

This morning, the coalition army and the shogunate army have begun to rebuild, and through simple statistics, the direct death toll in this bloody battle of Osaka is about 15,000, of which 8,000 were killed by the southwest coalition army and 7,000 by the shogunate.

This is the number of direct casualties, while there are about 10,000 more seriously injured and disabled, while the other soldiers are all lightly wounded.

In this battle, the Southwest Coalition Army invested a total of 35,000 troops, while the Shogunate Army invested a total of 25,000 troops, and the total strength of the family together has reached 60,000.

This is already a super-large-scale battle in Japanese history, although the number of people is not as good as the Battle of Sekigahara and the Battle of Nagashino, but if it is compared to the total value, this bloody battle of Osaka Castle is definitely ancient and modern.

The popularity rate of new Western muskets has exceeded 70%, and there are even high-priced artillery, these 60,000 troops have almost scavenged all the Japanese family foundations, this is not a war in the Warring States period where peasant soldiers with bamboo guns can make up the number, even if the modern war touches a little threshold, it is also a huge gold-swallowing monster.

With 25,000 combat attrition, countless equipment destroyed, and the Shogunate and Shogunate armies all severely damaged, according to the estimates of the Intelligence Bureau, it would take at least three years for both sides to train and arm such an army.

Three years, what a precious three years, Xiao Lotian used his strategy to push back the time of Japan's reunification by at least three years. This is an era of great change that has not been seen in 3,000 years, and the three years you go backwards plus the three years that others move forward, this is the six-year generation difference.

The Japanese are not stupid, they can understand this truth, so today's grumpy Yama Prefecture Youpeng couldn't help it, and he was the first to challenge Xiao Letian.

"Who in the world doesn't know the methods of Prime Minister Xiao in the East China Sea, and even you can participate in the Western War, and with the aftermath of the great victory in the European War, your position in Asia is unmatched...... But I don't understand, why you refuse to let Japan go, why do you let Japan bleed so much......

Before Xiao Lotian could speak, Sakamoto Ryoma was furious, "What kind of nonsense is this? The Fallen Curtain faction was not formed by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, and the coalition army was not trained by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, and even this war was not provoked by the Prime Minister...... Why should the prime minister bear our sins!"

"Not only that, but the prime minister also gave us thousands of rifles, and sold us countless weapons at a price below the market price, without the prime minister's help, how could we have assembled such a large army so quickly......?

"No...... You are wrong, we have all fallen for the scheme, Xiao Letian is determined to have a civil war with us, he wants us to shed blood, and the snipe and clam compete for the profit of the fisherman, he is the last fisherman......"

"May I ask the Prime Minister, why don't you sell us artillery, why don't you sell us the latest explosives packs, why don't you give me the latest grenades?

"How could we have lost this war if we had these weapons? We would have ended this civil war long ago...... Damn, it's all down to nothing!"

Xiao Lotian was already shocked, he was not angry, nor was he speechless, he was just stunned by this distorted mentality.

"You're weak, you're still reasonable? I'll give you whatever you want? You Japanese civil war is endless, blame me!"

Xiao Letian was furious, "What kind of bastard logic is this, I, Xiao Letian, live so big, I haven't eaten your Japanese food, I haven't drunk your Japanese water, and you don't have any favors to me...... What's the matter? I still owe you something? Help you guys out of trouble?"

"Since Ryoma Sakamoto and I reached a military aid agreement, I have given you 3,500 rifles for free, with a total of nearly 200,000 taels of silver, not including the weapons I sold you at a low price, and I think I will lose about 100,000 taels of that piece......"

"Not only that, but the four feudal clans in the southwest have already made a lot of money through trade with the Ryukyus, otherwise where do you think your coalition army's salaries come from? Eat me and drink mine, and finally dare to bark at me? Okay, good......"

Saigo Takamori heard the murderous aura in the prime minister's voice, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed the arm of Yama County Youpeng, "You haven't apologized to the prime minister, you're so rude!"

Then Saigo Takamori said with a wry smile, "Please forgive me, this war is too tragic, there are friends in Yama County who are a little distressed and incoherent, please don't go to your heart, I apologize to you!"

Originally, Xiao Letian didn't bother to talk nonsense with this kind of person, and he passed under the stairs, but he didn't expect Luo Huo, who was watching the ceremony behind him, to cause trouble with a word.

"! This little scene is still tragic? Not to mention the battle of Austro, compared with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before, this is nothing, at that time, there were no 108,000 deaths in that bloody battle, and there were still immortals in the war?"

This sentence can be regarded as a stinging of the weakness of Yama Prefecture Youpeng, the number of poor and backward people in the Japanese archipelago is not large, and it cannot be compared with the Central Plains, coupled with their fragile and perverted self-esteem, it makes Yama County Youpeng sensitive like a madman.

"I'm going to duel with you! The Yamato nation will never accept such humiliation!" Shan Shan drew his sword and slashed towards Luo Huo like crazy.

However, this knife did not cut down in the end, and as soon as Luo Huo shot out like an electric knife, he raised it above his head, and a black and heavy revolver was pressed against his eyebrows.

"Cut! I want to see if the bullet is fast or your knife is fast, it just so happens that this pile of firewood has not been burned yet, and by the way, I will take you away and save the people of the people below...... Cut it!"

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against Yamaguchi's forehead, the frenzy in his mind quickly cooled, and the corner of his eye swept to find that countless Ryukyu soldiers around him had pulled the bolt of their guns and surrounded them.

Xiao Le Angel gave him a look, Long Ye rushed over and grabbed the knife with one hand and the gun with the other, and pushed away the two people who were clashing with a shock of his arms. Xiao Letian looked at the strange eyes around him, and he sneered and said to Youpeng in Shanxian County.

"Your performance today is really too bad, it is completely beyond the words of an educated high-ranking samurai, if the Choshu Domain depends on you...... I'm afraid it's going to be over sooner or later!"

Xiao Letian didn't give him a chance to refute and continued: "I don't know what kind of garbage you have in your head, you just said that you want artillery, and you also want grenades and new explosives? I don't want to talk about the political level, why don't I give it to you, I'll ask you, if you give you artillery, will you use it?"

"Huh...... The Ryukyus are now commonly used with breech-loading rifled guns, which have a range ten times that of the old guns, do you know how to shoot blindly? Give you a coordinate point, how do you calculate the elevation angle, and how big is the projectile? How long after the launch of different guns do you need to consider the problem of rifling wear?"

"Do you know trigonometry? Do you know calculus? Do you do quick calculations? How long do you have to get back to firing after each fire? Don't forget that artillery has recoil, and you have to readjust the state after each fire......

"You don't understand any of this, you don't understand any of this, so why should I give you artillery? Even if I sell it to you, it will only be a direct shot at the target, and it will not even reach a third of the power...... Of course, you're going to say, I should send someone to teach you for free, and if I don't, I'll be a conspirator in your mouths again, right?"

"I'm wondering, how can you be justified if you're weak? You're just a weak chicken, but it's a reason why I have to help you? I can't help you once, I have to help ten times, and I have to help successfully? Otherwise, I'm a conspirator, and I'm going to harm Japan? Where does this bullshit come from......

"Lao Tzu doesn't owe you, have I taken any benefits from you, why should I help you?" Xiao Lotian roared, and the friends of Shanxian County were flushed.

"But...... But you are a gentleman of the kingdom, how can you speak so straightforwardly? What about the virtues of the people of the Central Plains? What about your benevolence? Do you watch Japan fall into civil strife and countless young people die, and you are so indifferent? This is the act of a villain!"

"I'm ......" Xiao Le's weather almost shattered, "You shut up for me!" Lao Tzu grew up drinking foreign ink, Lao Tzu is not rotten, I didn't give you a cheap advantage, I am your ancestor's, I hate to hear this sentence the most, do you understand!"

What's wrong with China? For thousands of years, the impression given to the surrounding nationalities was that of a bunch of fools who could take advantage of them at will? Gentlemen don't talk about profit? Fuck you don't talk about profit, why should you take advantage of it?

"There are friends in Shanxian County, you remember for me, Lao Tzu, I am a villain, a very pure, villain who has escaped from low-level tastes, I am not a gentleman, let alone those rotten Confucians in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I will not reason with you, if I want to be reasonable, I will be reasonable after the round of fists......"

"Now you remember for me, you have provoked me, so I will increase my troops by another three thousand, and I will expand Osaka Castle, no, no, no...... I'm going to change the name to Osaka Fortress, I'm going to dig trenches here, I'm going to build permanent fortifications, I'm going to lay out hundreds of cannons, and I'm going to have countless warships in the bay......"

"And all this is caused by the stupidity of you Japanese, the foggy imp is a fool, and today you are also a fool, I want to see how many fools can jump out later......"
