As the Ryukyus boomed, the situation in northern Japan began to become tense, and the craze for the Southwest Shogunate was far greater than the real history, especially since the Shimazu family had become fanatical after being inspired by the artifact telegraph.

In the first half of 1867, the lord of the Choshu domain, Mori Mototoku, the lord of the Satsuma domain, the lord of the Satsuma domain, the lord of the Satsuma domain, Naoda Naodai, and the lord of the Tosa domain, Yamotodo, went on a rampage of correspondence, and the desire for war was already irrepressible, inspired by the Second Battle of Choshu and the large number of new weapons of the Tokai Sho Sho.

The biggest characteristic of the Japanese nation is that it is small and easy to win, to put it bluntly, the dog food plate can not hold two taels of dry rice, and it will immediately its tail if it fights twice with the wind.

Due to the intervention of Xiao Letian, the traverser, the extremely difficult cause of the fall of the curtain in history suddenly became extremely smooth and stood up, especially in the second battle of Changshu, the battle loss rate of the four feudal domains was much lower than the real history, which made the four feudal domains have an unrealistic illusion of their own strength.

Perhaps, without Xiao Letian's intervention, we can also complete this great cause, in this case, why should we ask outsiders to intervene, and then we will share a large part of the benefits.

Han people, just take advantage of it, really let their hands reach to Japan, God knows what will go wrong later.

It was under the influence of such a subtle thought that Japan accepted Xiao Letian's material aid and politely rejected the request for direct intervention by the New Army, and Japan's national gate firmly blocked Xiao Letian out.

All this could not escape Xiao Letian's eyes, he coldly watched this group of arrogant people go further and further down the wrong path, and even consciously suppressed some information.

Although the four feudal clans knew that the French and Tokugawa Yoshiki were colluding, none of them knew how closely they colluded.

They also knew that the rumbling of guns and cannons was often remembered in Aizu Wakamatsu Castle, but all the ninjas and Hosaku could not get close, and the arrogant lord of the four feudal domains did not believe that a small Aizu domain could train many soldiers, so they did not pay much attention to this information.

On June 9th, the famous Eight Strategies in the Ship in history still happened, and Ryoma Sakamoto was on the way to Hyogo Prefecture on a sea ship with Goto Zojiro, and Ryoma-kun finally took out the dry goods in his heart.

1. The power of the world is returned to the imperial court, and the decrees should come from the imperial court.

2. Set up the political situation of the upper and lower councils, put the members to participate in the ten thousand opportunities, and hold the public discussion to decide the ten thousand opportunities.

3. The princes and princes, so that the talents of the world, are capable, and the officials are promoted to the rank of advisers, and the officials are cut down in name only.

Fourth, the public discussion shall be submitted to foreign countries, and the statute shall be reviewed to determine its appropriateness.

5. Review the ancient laws and decrees and write a perfect legal code.

6. Expand the navy.

Seventh, put the soldiers to defend the imperial capital.

8. In matters of trade in gold and silver goods, the law of foreign countries should be determined with reference to foreign countries.

The above eight strategies are to observe the situation in the world, and then decide after judging all the countries in the world, which is an urgent task that is unique to him. If this strategy is carried out, it will surely save the imperial fortune, expand the country's power, and go hand in hand with all nations, which is not difficult. I wish that this public will be righteous and righteous, and if you take a wise and decisive policy, the world will be able to start a new one.

Goto Zojiro was shocked to see Ryoma Sakamoto at the time, and he knew that if these suggestions were adopted, then a bloodless revolution would break out in Japan, with the least possible price for the transformation of the country.

Yamamoto's eyes lit up when he saw it, he didn't expect that one of his corporals would mature so quickly in these years of training.

The ship was soon delivered to Edo, and Tokugawa Yoshiki did not say a word after reading it, but locked the page in the cabinet and never discussed the subject with anyone again, as if he was about to carry out the strategy of stepping on two boats again.

When Xiao Letian knew that Ryoma hadn't listened to his persuasion and took out the eight strategies in the boat early, he angrily threw two tea bowls in a row, "Baga! Idiot! I have persuaded him countless times, but this fanatical guy is just disobedient, how can such a character become a big thing? Isn't this just waiting for others to kill?"

Xiao Lotian is not wrong, the core interests of the Eight Strategies of the Ship and the Fallen Shogunate are in conflict, and the two most powerful feudal domains of Choshu and Satsuma have had enmity with the Tokugawa family since the Warring States Period.

In fact, it was not the Tokugawa family, and during the Warring States period, these southern daimyo did not obey the northern daimyos, whether it was Oda Nobunaga or Toyotomi Hideyoshi, including Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The Choshu clan was the Mori clan of the Warring States period, which was a famous daimyo in Japanese history, and fought with Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and was reluctant to rule the northern daimyos.

And the Shimazu family almost annexed the entire island of Kyushu during the Warring States period, and if it weren't for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops pouring the whole country into war with the Shimazu family, God knows what history would have become.

These are just historical hatreds, the conflict of interests in reality is still very big, the Tokugawa shogunate occupies the most land and wealth in Japan, the essence of the war is for profit, if the Tokugawa family is not completely destroyed, how to divide those land and wealth?

You Sakamoto Ryoma really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, everyone's head is not on the waistband of your pants to fight, you really think that we are purely for the emperor to ascend the throne?

If the Tokugawa family listens to you and hands over their rights, won't we have the pretext to go to war?

But these words can't be said on the surface, they can only look at Sakamoto Ryoma with malice, they are waiting for an opportunity to clean up this arrogant guy.

"Baga, don't think that you can run rampant with Xiao Letian's support, don't forget that this is Japan, not Ryukyu!"

The cause of Ryoma Sakamoto's death in real history is a mystery, and the real murderer has long been hidden in the fog of history and cannot be searched. But we can pull out the chain of interests to think about who is most likely to kill Sakamoto Ryoma, in fact, we only need to think about whose interests Sakamoto Ryoma hurt, and it is not difficult to find the answer.

Xiao Lotian immediately sent an action team to Japan, Long Ye selected four Qing martial arts masters, plus more than a dozen wild warriors and ninjas in Japan, and quickly went north by boat to secretly protect Sakamoto Ryoma, he was afraid that Ryomajun would not be able to escape the assassination in history, although there were still more than five months before the assassination, but God knows what history was stirred into by his own butterfly.

The arrogant feudal lords and the armament beyond expectations had brought their ambitions to the brink of exploding, and at this time, where could they afford to be betrayed by the internal 'traitors', they knew that if Tokugawa Yoshiki accepted the advice of the 'traitors', the war would really not be fought.

On June 20, six Tokugawa soldiers were stabbed to death in the northwestern mountains of Nijo Castle, Kyoto, the emperor's residence, and an enraged Saigo Takamori took aim at the Tokugawa ninja and threatened to take revenge in the strongest possible way.

Of course, the Tokugawa family denied it, but the Shimazu family didn't listen to the explanation at all, and three days later, on the 23rd, outside Osaka Castle, the most important stronghold of the Tokugawa family in the Kansai region, a large battalion of more than 200 ashigaru was attacked in the middle of the night, and the Shimazu family slaughtered 120 Tokugawa ashigaru, and the rest were soldiers scattered and fled.

Such a provocation to the Tokugawa family could not be tolerated, and the defenders of Osaka Castle began to go out of the castle in search of the murderer, as a result of which a conflict broke out.

"Report Prime Minister...... On June 26, fifteen miles north of Osaka Castle, 800 Tokugawa soldiers were attacked by 500 Shimazu soldiers and 200 Maori soldiers, and the battle lasted only an hour, and the Tokugawa family was defeated and fled......"

"What?" Xiao Letian was shocked, "How did the troops last for an hour?"

"According to the Prime Minister, the Shimazu family and the Mori family use the Spencers we provide, while the Tokugawa family still uses old firearms and broadswords and spears...... The victory or defeat is obvious!"

"No, no, there's a problem...... The Tokugawa family's financial resources far exceed those of the four feudal clans in the southwest, and they have cooperated with the French for so long, so I don't believe that they still use old firearms and spears, which is not in line with the art of war?"

Xiao Lotian was going back and forth in the study, and Xiao Hexin next to him also spoke, "Yes, it's too unreasonable, Osaka Castle is the most important stronghold in the Kansai Plain, and Osaka Bay is the largest port in the Seto Inland Sea, and the importance here is second only to Edo ......"

"Osaka is here, the Tokugawa family can control Kyoto and Nara, the emperor will not dare to act rashly, and the harbor city is very convenient for supply and transportation of troops, it is impossible not to station elite troops here, how can the French not send weapons here?"

"Since it is a retaliatory way out of the city to sweep the enemy, it is even more important to equip weapons, how can it be ......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hexin and Xiao Letian glanced at each other, and suddenly shouted in unison: "Show weakness! This is Tokugawa Keiki's plan to lure the enemy into depth...... It's bad, the big war is going to be advanced!"

"Prepare for war, let our navy assemble, prepare to load the marines to Japan, let Luo Huo and Sima Yun each gather a thousand soldiers, and let Wang Huaiyuan activate all the spy networks in Japan...... Ready for war!"

"Yes!" the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly became noisy.

Xiao Hexin suddenly sneered and asked, "Do you need to send a telegram to the Shimazu family......?"

"No need, since they don't welcome us, why should we be the villains? These fanatical madmen should always try and fail, otherwise they don't know the ...... the sky."

Xiao Hexin nodded, "It's okay, our target is still the French, and when those soldiers trained by the French appear, we will definitely give them an unforgettable impression......

Guotou Village, now it is the Guotou Military Port, although Xiao Letian's current navy is weak, but it also has two frigates, a cruiser, and ten modified clippers, a total of thirteen warships.

Thirteen warships outside the Guotou Military Port received the order to prepare for war, the navy was all fanatical, Admiral Cai Mao was so excited that he burst into tears, just now the prime minister has passed down the order, the prime minister will personally take a boat to the north, this battle accounts for seventy percent of the tasks of the navy.

"Children, this is the first time that our Ryukyu Navy has officially gone to the battlefield, this is not a rush to deal with the enemy's attack, this is the first show of our Navy......"

"Don't lose the face of the navy, if you fail, I'll kick you all down the Pacific Ocean, and then I'll jump in the last one too......"

"Brothers, speed speed speed ...... Let's follow the Prime Minister!"

At that moment, the entire Guotou Military Port roared like thunder: "Expedition! Victory! Expedition! Victory!"
