The negotiation between political figures is always more nonsense than the text, and the threat of hiding needles in the process of touting each other gradually becomes apparent, and it is not that the people in the circle really can't understand what they are saying.

Long Ye, Luo Huo, and Xiao Hexin, who were on guard outside the courtyard, only listened to the mutual compliments between their husband and the Japanese man, and they were polite as if they were friends, but they knew that the two people in the room were sweating in their palms now.

In the heated exchange of words, the two men never talked about the current situation in the Ryukyus and the solution to the dilemma. On the contrary, the two talked about the political situation in various countries. One focuses on the Taihei Civil War and the current Tsusaku Rebellion, while the other focuses on the confrontation between the Tokugawa shogunate and the local daimyos.

Anyway, in a thousand words, the two countries are not very good now, and the two ancient countries have entered a period of confusion in the great changes of the millennium.

Xiao Lotian has always secretly reflected that he has the ability to break the Japanese situation, and even faintly threatens that Sakamoto Ryoma himself can provoke a civil war in Japan. Sakamoto Ryoma, on the other hand, has always emphasized the Manchu government's policy of enslaving the Han people, and has always held on to the views of master and slave, and even mentioned the literary prison that was common in the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian.

One is to threaten the fragile political situation in Japan, and the other is to directly use the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people, the two of them look like a flower on the surface, but look at the sake bottle around him who hasn't drunk a bottle of sake for half a day, and the confrontation between the two has reached the stage of bayonet red.

A bottle of sake was drunk for an hour, which was also the first time in the banquet that Xiao Lotian had experienced. But in the final analysis, the importance of a person's life and a country's national fortune is definitely not equal, plus Xiao Letian has gone through such a wonderful thing as a human being in his two lives, so he has an inexplicable self-confidence in his fate.

A traverser is not so easy to kill, Xiao Lotian believes in this point of view, so in the confrontation, it is Xiao Lotian who is the most calm. Gradually, beads of sweat were already on Ryoma's forehead, and he found that Xiao Lotian was the most difficult opponent he had since he had negotiated with him.

"Mr. Xiao, I remember that you once said in "The Journey to the West" that the essence of politics is compromise. Human beings do not live in this society by forcing another group of people to a dead end. There can be conflicts between different groups that divide the spoils unequally, but there can be no extermination of another group, because people are called human because human nature represents social ......"

In the end, Sakamoto Ryoma's own knowledge could no longer convince Xiao Letian, he could only seek a breakthrough from "The Journey to the West", and Xiao Lotian's repeated mention of human nature, sociality, and the principle of compromise in politics is the most powerful weapon in Ryoma's hands.

You have explained more than once in the book that social groups should tolerate and compromise with each other, but why are you so reluctant to deal with the Ryukyu riots? Nearly 100,000 Japanese residents have been placed under residential surveillance, and today Sakamoto Ryoma even saw that the Japanese residential areas have begun to erect fences and wooden walls for isolation.

In addition, there is also the Japanese industry, a large number of warehouses and even ruins have been confiscated, once Jin Changsen, a villain who sways from side to side, betrays Japan, he is even more ruthless than those Han people, and more than ninety percent of the secret materials are all let him turn it out. Centuries of wealth accumulation by the Japanese people have been looted.

Look at the red-eyed Chinese and the natives of the Ryukyus, who opened the surviving warehouses and removed all the supplies inside, not even a grain of rice. What is even more odious is that they did not even spare the ruins of the fire, and dug out the gold, silver and copper coins that could not be burned from the charcoal, and even these riches were not left to the Japanese.

"Mr. Xiao, as a scholar and a grandmaster, you can't be more greedy than a bandit, right? In what you do, I don't see the slightest mercy or concession, let alone compromise, I only see that you want to starve all our 100,000 Japanese residents to death...... That's not right!"

Xiao Letian's eyes stood up when he heard this, and he smashed his fist on the low wooden table, knocking over the food and wine.

"Baga, you dare to change your concept in front of me, and what compromise and tolerance do you want to tell me? You deserve to ...... Let me ask you, who started this conflict first? Why did Kiyoshi Yamamoto and Yahachiro kill civilians? When innocent Chinese were brutally killed, where was the compromise in your mouth? Do you blame me for being the fifteenth year of junior high school?"

Xiao Le really wanted to rush up and give him a few mouths, but seeing that Sakamoto Ryoma and Yamamoto Kiyoshi were not the same people, he forcibly held back.

"The biggest premise of tolerance and compromise is that 'people' who regard each other as equals can only have a basis for mutual compromise if they psychologically agree with the equality of each other's status. But from the night of Naha's blood and fire, I didn't see the slightest humanity of you Japanese, in the light of the fire their animal nature was infinitely magnified, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, when they raised their butcher's knives to the Chinese, did they ever think about the emotions and experiences of the two ethnic groups living together for more than 200 years?"

"No, they didn't think of anything. At that moment, they had long forgotten all the good memories of their hundreds of years of common life, and only remembered the friction between the two races, and it was infinitely magnified......"

So they killed the Chinese mercilessly, and at the moment of the fire, they had long forgotten that the Chinese were also human beings, human beings like them. At that moment, they only had animal nature in their hearts...... Yes, the greatest sorrow of your nation is that you will never be able to get rid of the control of animal nature!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Lotian suddenly grabbed the poured wine bottle, raised his head and took a big sip, and then stared at Sakamoto Ryoma, who was flushed, and said with great disdain: "Japan's national fortune, Naiya Bushido, defeat is also Bushido!"

Listening to these proverb-like words, Ryoma Sakamoto suddenly felt a tingling pain in his chest, and his face turned from red to white with a brush, and the deepest fear in his consciousness suddenly churned.

Bushido is a double-edged sword, and if used well, it is a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, and once you miss, you may also be fatal to yourself. Ryoma Sakamoto himself had grown up in the lower samurai class, and he was all too familiar with the real life of the samurai and their thoughts.

This is a stingy, short-sighted and tyrannical group, greedy for the immediate small interests and ignore the long-term big interests is their disadvantage, in the military table Xiàn is also a very famous evaluation of the later generations of 'heavy tactics, light strategy' can also be said to do not understand strategy at all.

Just like this Naha riot, if he attacked Xiao Lotian himself with all his strength from the beginning and reassured the people at the same time, Xiao Lotian would never have stirred up a wave of 100,000 Chinese. If Yamamoto Kiyoshi obeyed the order of Kayama Kurigen and concentrated his efforts on attacking Shuri Castle and controlling King Zhì Shangtai at the first time, then it would not trigger armed intervention by foreigners in the later stage, and it would add an advantage to the negotiations.

It's a pity that all the qiē and qiē are ruined in the hands of these middle and low-level samurai, they are too fanatical, so fanatical that in order to improve their status, they do not hesitate to destroy the qiē.

Sakamoto Ryoma felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body, and he finally bowed to the tatami mat and said in a faint voice, "Please teach me, please give me guidance for future learning......"

Looking at Sakamoto Ryoma's pitiful appearance, Xiao Letian sighed in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of some wild history rumors in later generations. If those wild history stories are true, then the Japanese nation is really a bushido, and a bushido is defeated.

According to the records of the wild history, after the country's shocking victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, when they received a huge war indemnity of 200 million taels of silver, as well as Taiwan, Penghu, and the Korean Peninsula, which were huge new territories that exceeded the area of Japan's main island. The politicians in the country have already begun to prepare to stop.

In the civil service system at that time, it was believed that it was enough for Japan to obtain so much wealth and double its territory, and that it should not continue to expand if it did not manage well for more than 100 years. This kind of thinking once became the mainstream of the Japanese government and the opposition.

After World War II, politicians also agreed that if Japan had calmed down and avoided getting involved in the two world wars as much as possible, the map of modern East Asia would not have been what it is now. You must know that at that time, the Western powers, including the Qing Dynasty, had already recognized Japan's ownership of the newly added territories, which means that Japan's occupation of Taiwan, Ryukyu, Penghu, and Korea, had been recognized by all countries and had an absolutely legitimate legal basis.

It's a pity that all the qiē and qiē were ruined at the hands of fanatical soldiers, fanatical soldiers who were brainwashed by the spirit of bushido, who would consider what bullshit balance and compromise. In their eyes, Japan without war is incomplete Japan, a society without war is a society of stagnation, and their god Amaterasu will bless them with eternal victory until the end of the world.

It is precisely under the influence of this trend of thought that the phenomenon of military forces overwhelming the civilian system has appeared in the Japanese political arena, and a large number of civilian officials with different opinions have been squeezed out and even threatened with their lives by military forces.

In addition, the military adventures of the military have indeed been taking advantage of them for a hundred years, and gradually the civilian system has compromised, or the civilian system has also been integrated into the large circle of military power, and militarism has officially become an iron law believed by the whole country of Japan, and until the end of World War II, this kind of thinking has not been completely cleaned up from Japanese politics.

Xiao Lotian shook his head, his thoughts returned to Sakamoto Ryoma's body, and he sighed and said, "What can I do? That is the culture of your nation, it is the inheritance of thousands of years, and you really think that you can change the national fortunes of this country? Ryoma-kun! Too idealistic is to lose your life......

Xiao Lotian is right, in real history, only two years later, Ryoma Sakamoto was assassinated in Omiya, Kyoto, and he died without seeing what the country of Japan was like after his advice, at the age of 31.

Sakamoto Ryoma smiled bitterly and faced Xiao Letian, "Idealism? Yes, I am indeed a little idealistic, trying to change Japan's national fortunes and even national roots with my own efforts...... But what about you, Mr. Xiao, you have so much more idealism in your books than I do, so why can't the proverbs you give me be applied to you?"

"The Qing Dynasty was a hundred times larger than Japan, and the various forces were unimaginably complex, but which of the Manchu nobles, the Han people, the Confucian ministers, and even the ethnic minorities in the frontier would truly believe in your ideas?

"At the end of the day, you and I are the same kind of people......"
