698 Armistice Order

Xiao Letian's biggest golden finger in life is, of course, his understanding of the history of later generations, a person who can spy on the direction of history is a god-like existence in human history, and they are called the guides of the human world.

Although the traverser will have a certain impact on history, and even completely reverse the direction of the human world, one thing is undeniable, the process of history is like a heavy steam locomotive, and driving in any direction requires the accumulation of very strong potential energy in advance.

It's not that the traverser can't change history, but the traverser can't change the potential energy that has been piled up. To give a very simple example, the time-traveler was able to foresee the birth of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in advance, and also knew that this regime would bring more than a decade of civil war and eventual demise.

Although he knew, there were times when he couldn't avoid it because he couldn't deal with the potential energy that had accumulated before the event.

What is the potential energy of the Taiping Rebellion? The accumulation of contradictions between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty is the potential energy of the matter, and the traitors blocking the road to the promotion of many scholars are also potential energy, and the national hatred provoked by the repeated aggressions of the Western powers is also potential energy, and of course, there is also the land annexation that everyone in later generations understands, and when the gap between the rich and the poor reaches a certain level, this kind of violent conflict will inevitably turn into a war.

He can see the future, but it is difficult to change it, unless he has the strength to fight against those great potential energies, which can turn the direction of that steam locomotive.

So Xiao Lotian is very smart, he knows what it means to use the mantis arm as a car, so Xiao Lotian will not rebel, he will not even rebel against the Ryukyus, he is just wandering outside the East Asian continent and being a-stirring stick of Asian forces.

There won't be anywhere...... No, no, no, it's wrong, it should be where there is no trouble, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Ryukyus, or even Japan, France, and the United States...... Xiao Letian's-stirring stick can always find the enemy's weakness, and then stir it up, stirring up the stinky mud that has accumulated under the calm water.

As long as the enemy is chaotic, Xiao Lotian will be able to profit from it, which is simply tried and tested, and today it is useless to use it to deal with these important ministers of the Tokugawa family who have little knowledge.

Tokugawa Qingxi looked at Xiao Lotian behind the firewood pile blankly, listening to the incisive analysis of the current situation like a view in the palm of his hand, from Asia to Europe, from France to Britain and the United States, especially France, which the Tokugawa family relied on to rely on Mount Tai, was analyzed by Xiao Letian.

From the Revolution to the Restoration, from Napoleon's sweep across Europe to the centuries-old hatred of Prussia and France, the strategic alliance of Britain and France to the conflict of maritime interests between them...... And so on and so forth, the most concise language has the biggest psychological impact on these Japanese people.

Being able to explain the big truth and the complicated situation simply, this is a real skill, but it is not possible to work without a job in the stomach, Tokugawa Qingxi's face turned white when he heard it.

"Stupid! stupid...... I've seen all your so-called Forces nouvelles tactics, it's just stupid, don't you even know that you let the French play to death?"

"Do you still shoot in formation? Do you beat the snare drum? Is that the tactics of the Napoleonic era? Do you understand the tactics of the smoothbore gun era?"

"Now that military technology has moved towards rifling, the art of war has long changed, and artillery has popularized high-explosive shells, so you still treat the backward tactics of 100 years ago as a treasure?"

"Don't stare at me with those eyes, I know you don't believe it, then I'll give you some dry goods, let you know what modern warfare is......" Xiao Lotian finished speaking, and the royal photographer Leo behind him threw a thick photo album in the castle tower.

"This is the photo I took of the Austro-Prussian War, they are all the most top-secret pictures, I have never seen them in newspapers from all over the world, I am cheap for you today, remember to return them to me after reading ......"

Tokugawa Keiki and those important ministers hugged up, lying on the tatami mats and pouting their buttocks to look at it, and Xiao Hexin behind him could see that they turned to that page, so he naturally became a volunteer commentator.

"This one is the assembly of the army before the war, and the total mileage of the Prussian railway is no less than that of the British, so the mobilization of the war is based on the railway, the train carries supplies and elite troops, and the ordinary infantry walks on both sides of the road......"

"This is the Prussian observation balloon, the same hot air balloon you see today, and half of the mapping of the battlefield depends on him......"

"Austria is mountainous and hilly, and this is the Prussian army camp that we photographed on the top of the mountain, and there are 200,000 people stationed in this valley alone......"

The photos shocked the Tokugawa Shigetomi present, and when he saw the part of the bloody battle on the Ishibashi Heights at the end, Tokugawa Keiki's eyes lit up, and goosebumps rose and disappeared all over his body, and then rose and disappeared.

Xiao Hexin nodded on the photo with his crutch, "See, this is the first time that my prime minister has shown a new method of warfare, positional warfare, also called trenches, and it is this tactic that we used to defeat the Austrian noble legion......"

The three-dimensional trenches are densely packed with human heads, where the Sino-Prussian coalition forces began to shoot at the enemy, and through the photos, people can feel the rain of bullets on the position.

Xiao Letian's remnant blood flag fluttered in the middle of the position, and the prime minister in the photo was preparing to charge forward with a murderous face, and the two soldiers behind him couldn't hold him.

The gentle slope in front of the trench was littered with the corpses of Westerners, and these foreigners, who were rampant in Asia, turned into cold corpses in front of Xiao Letian's army.

It was only at this moment that Tokugawa Yoshiki and his courtiers understood why Xiao Lotian had become the latest rising star in Asia, and that this status was bought with life and blood, not by conspiracy.

"Now you understand! The French didn't give you the most advanced tactics at all, they hid the real killer weapon, because they had already calculated that even if your Tokugawa family wins, it must be a victory between the weak, and in the end they will control ......you as well."

"Is this your biggest reliance? Don't wake up soon!" Xiao Lotian roared, and Tokugawa Keiki trembled, his eyes closed, and a desperate expression appeared on his face.

"How can I trust you? After all, you Xiao Lotian are allies of the Southwest Coalition Army!" Tokugawa Keiki was already desperate.

At this moment, Long Ye, who was instructed by Xiao Letian, suddenly roared angrily, "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom has arrived...... Kneel!"

With such a loud voice, the atmosphere in Osaka Castle was actually stagnant, and everyone was stupid.

"What do you mean? Who is coming? The emperor of the Qing Dynasty? Is it the ...... of the Tongzhi Emperor?"

At this time, Aixin Jueluo Zaichun, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in front of Tokugawa Qingxi under the escort of the four guards and the four eunuchs, and even Xiao Letian, the emperor, had to bow and salute on this occasion.

"Tokugawa Yoshiki! You may have doubts about the Prime Minister's words, but what about my words? As the emperor of the Qing Empire, I will never lie to you!"

As soon as the little emperor opened his mouth, Tokugawa Keiki was almost paralyzed with fright, although Japan and the Qing Dynasty did not have a vassal relationship, but Japan has always called the Qing Dynasty the upper country, and the awe of the mainland civilization for thousands of years is not so easy to disappear.

An old man behind the general once visited the Qing Dynasty, and also saw the Tongzhi Emperor from afar at a court meeting, and he hurried to the front of the general and proved to him that this was the real thing.

In fact, no one would doubt the identity of the Qing Emperor, because in that era, no one really thought that the emperor had a false theory. Because in the eyes of the people of that era, disguising the emperor was to punish the nine clans.

Regardless of whether Tokugawa Keiki wants to or not, when he sees His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom coming in person, he must solemnly bow and bow down, this is the emperor of the kingdom who is more authoritative than the emperor!

"The Lesser Minister of the Lower Country...... Tokugawa is happy to bring the ministers of the shogunate to meet His Majesty the Emperor! I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live!"

There was a shout of worship in the castle tower, and then the samurai began to clean up the pyre, and now no one was clamoring for suicide.

"Time is pressing, please leave and order an armistice, this war is now a situation of defeat for both sides, I don't want this trip to Japan to be a sad one...... I want to see the prosperity of Edo Castle with my own eyes!"

The Tokugawa family officials in the castle tower were overjoyed one by one, and they were obedient to their voices, and Emperor Tongji secretly promised not to exterminate the shogunate! The ecstatic Tokugawa Yoshiki immediately ordered a truce to Matsudaira Yoiho.

Bright fireworks exploded in the sky, Xiao Lotian looked at the pocket watch in his pocket, and found that the hands were exactly at six o'clock, fortunately it was summer now, if it was winter, it would have been dark long ago.

"Give the order to go down, the fleet will stop bombing!" The marines are ready to go out of the city and build a buffer zone between the New Southern Coalition Army and the Tokugawa New Army to disperse their ......"

The fleet at sea sounded a burst of orders, and two thousand marines rushed out of the ruined gate of Osaka Castle, and rushed towards the fiercest part of the battlefield under the command of Sima Yun and Luo Huo.

At this time, Matsudaira Rongbao closed his eyes and looked up to the sky, and two lines of tears flowed down: "After several years of preparation, it is still a dream after all......!

Xixiang Takamori and Yama County Youpeng have also reached the point where they have run out of oil and dried up, this formation has long been rushed by the enemy, and the faces of the three thousand army formations are now like ashes, and everyone is exhausted after a day of bloody fighting, and their legs trembled involuntarily.

Originally, Luo Huo and Sima Yun thought that these fanatical Japanese would not listen to the order and would continue to entangle and fight, but when they rushed to take a look, they found that many soldiers were so tired that they couldn't pull up on the ground.

"Damn, I didn't get a fight...... Tell the rear to send barbed wire, and pull a barrier right under my feet...... What do I think of such a lot of people!"
