339 The year of the Qing Piercing Demon Dance Yuyao is seventy-nine

Thousands of naval vessels, large and small, will first go north along the coastline, and thousands of civilian ships from the Cao Gang will also be mobilized, all of which will cross east from the coast of Shandong to Ryukyu. The Prime Minister's Cabinet sat in Nanking and fully cooperated with the logistics work, and the army also entered the defensive stage against the Manchus first, and did not take the initiative to provoke a war.

The empress led the fleet to the Ryukyus and was greeted by the complete works of the Ryukyus. The people of the Ryukyus dressed in their best clothes, and the royal family and officials went to the docks to greet them. Without going into details.

And the detachment that had sent Prince Shang Jing back earlier converged with Chen Dahu and others, but fortunately they couldn't hold back and didn't go to Honshu. However, they have been keeping an eye on Kyushu, blocking the route from Kyushu to Shikoku and Honshu to prevent the transmission of news.

By the end of the first lunar month, the empress sent the main forces of the Navy's South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet to attack the Kansai Plain represented by Kyoto and the Kanto Plain represented by Jianghu (Tokyo), respectively. These two places are the seat of the Emperor and the Shogunate, and they are also the essence of Japan, and they are the concentration of Japan's politics, economy, culture, and population.

He also ordered Chen Dahu, deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet, to lead "Cao Cao" and "Ran Min" as the main ships, plus 80 cruisers as the main ships, to attack Kyushu Island again.

At this time, China had no suspense about the battle on the Japanese sea, and even the officers and men of the Chinese army and navy did not dare to believe that the victory in the battle on the sea was so sudden. In other words, although there is psychological preparation, the Japanese are too unbeaten.

It must be known that in the middle of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Tokugawa shogunate issued many "lockdown orders", which not only closed the country for a long time, but even only had trade with China, North Korea, and the Netherlands, and also prohibited the manufacture of ships suitable for the sea. How did those pirate ships fight the modern navy of the Chinese army?

Due to the military order issued by Her Majesty the Empress of the Expeditionary Command, the navy did not even want those "trophies" at sea, and directly sailed to the coasts of Kanto and Kansai to bombard, and then landed in a suitable place for landing.

The troops that landed were also official and "civilian" cooperation - there were marines and heroes (including Lu Siniang's men).

The commanders of the troops took the map provided by the General Staff Department and burned them all the way, killed them all, and robbed them all the way.

The samurai of the various Japanese domains wanted to fight a guerrilla war with the Chinese army, but the Chinese army all went out en masse, destroyed one place after another, and then obediently retreated to a safe place where it was difficult for people to sneak attack. According to the grand strategy formulated by the empress and the General Staff, they did not want to occupy the territory of Japan, so they did not have the burden of "defending the territory" - if you want to be so fierce, then this pile of rags will be returned to you!

When they arrived in larger cities, the Japanese samurai and soldiers wanted to defend the city, or put people in to fight.

But people don't follow the rules at all, and when they look at it from a kilometer away, they first take a round of burning/burning/bombing. Because the Japanese lived in wooden houses instead of Chinese stone brick and mud houses, the fire could be burned for several days and nights, and the Chinese army let it burn to ashes. And those who didn't want to be burned ran out of the city crying, and then were either ruthlessly killed for resisting or captured as slaves.

The marines of the Tokai Fleet landed outside Edo Castle and fought against the allied forces of the shogunate of Tokugawa Ieyoshi, and the shogunate army was completely out of formation under the bombardment of artillery. The effective range and rate of fire of their flintlock fires/guns pose little threat to the Chinese marines.

Hastily assembling an army of 30,000 or 40,000 loyal to the shogunate, facing a Chinese army of less than 5,000 marines, due to the difference in firepower, it was defeated in less than a day's bombardment, and it was no longer able to form a formation, and the rout could not stop the advance of the Chinese army fighting as a whole.

And the war in Kyoto was not much worse, although the Japanese emperor was a puppet, but there were still tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Kyoto to defend Kyoto.

But they were all disabled by the artillery of the Navy Seals, and Xu Zhen, the commander of the Navy Seals, took a telescope to look at the ancient and secluded Kyoto City in the distance.

The chief of staff and the political commissar next to him were also watching, and they were a little fascinated.

Xu Zhen sighed in his mouth: "Sure enough, it is our Chinese apprentice, I heard that this Kyoto was built in imitation of our Tang Chang'an City." ”

Political Commissar Li Wen suddenly said: "It would be good if my Chinese civilization could spread all over the world." The Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty has long been dilapidated, and if this Kyoto City can be preserved, it can be regarded as allowing future generations of China to see what it was back then. ”

Chief of Staff Zhao Jinsheng said: "The political commissar is soft-hearted. The Japanese people think that this is a thing of the Japanese country, and it has a woolen relationship with our China?"

Li Wen couldn't laugh or cry, this Zhao Jinsheng had some tricks in the operational staff, and the plans he set were often ruthless, but he just didn't have the feelings of "cultural power".

Li Wendao: "I heard that although the emperor of Japan is not in power, they have not changed dynasties for thousands of years. The emperor is still in the same vein, and it is the true eternal dynasty. This is probably the reason why Kyoto has survived so well since its construction. It is a pity that China's dynasties have changed frequently, and civilizations have been destroyed from generation to generation, and then rebuilt. Our Chinese nation has many disasters and difficulties, several times by the Tartars into the customs, the people are devastated, and the city of Chang'an, which cherishes the sun, is also dilapidated, and we have come to Japan to see the complete imitation version!"

Zhao Jinsheng scolded: "Speaking of this emperor, Lao Tzu is angry!"

Li Wendao: "It is the shogun who is really in power in Japan. I heard that it was called 'General Zhengyi', and it was very disrespectful to see this name. Japan is raze, and he thinks that he is not raze, but that what is outside Japan is raze? These are just a few of Japan's neighbors, including China, and China has become a country. ”

Zhao Jinsheng scolded: "What is this? Why does someone in a small Japanese country call himself emperor? He is still called 'Emperor,' which is older than His Majesty the Empress? Her Majesty the Empress is not called 'Heaven,' and has repeatedly said that there is no 'Mandate to Heaven' at all, and he dares to call it 'Heaven' in a small Japan? Isn't that an insult to Her Majesty the Empress and also to China?"

Li Wen smiled: "Lao Zhao, say that you are uneducated, you are still not convinced." The Japanese believe in 'Shintoism', and the god of creation in 'Shintoism' is 'Amaterasu', and 'Emperor' is a descendant of 'Amaterasu'. It is precisely because of this common belief that no one in Japan 'rebelled' to change the dynasty, and there was no change of dynasty. Whatever is the power of the world, all the ancient civilizations of Japan can be passed down from generation to generation. I think that in addition to the fact that the Japanese may become a threat to China in the future militarily, the deeper threat is this inheritance. For example, our Tang Dynasty has long been submerged in history, and many things have been broken and forgotten by ourselves, but what was passed down to Japan back then, they have been passed down from generation to generation. Another example is our 'Ran Min', Your Majesty once said that she knew about this great hero who saved Chinese civilization 'Ran Min' from the classics recorded in Japan that she occasionally obtained, but our own classics were destroyed by the war, and future generations do not know. When we are gone, they have, and then it becomes theirs. Her Majesty's wisdom would not have been unaware of this. Raiding Japan naturally has political, economic, and imperial security considerations, and His Majesty has always governed the country with benevolence, but I am told not to show mercy to Japan, but I am afraid that the deep meaning is to let Japanese culture be broken, and let the terrible enemy of this cultural inheritance be hit hard. ”

Xu Zhen patted Li Wen and said, "Political Commissar Li is worthy of being from Wuchang Academy, and only you, Your Majesty's personal disciple, can understand Your Majesty's eloquence." ”

Li Wen smiled and said: "I have studied in Wuchang School for so many years, and many of the teachers and brothers in the school are much more intelligent than me. Besides, how can I compare to the division commander, I am a proud son from the Nanyang Military Academy. ”

Xu Zhen saw that all the houses on the edge of Kyoto had been burned, and said to Zhao Jinsheng: "Go and see if Lord Lu and the righteous soldiers led by the Cao Gang's 'Five Exercises' have followed? ”

Her Majesty's order is not to burn the center of Kyoto, not to burn the Japanese Imperial Palace, and not to use cannons as much as possible. She ordered Lu Siniang to lead the masters of the rivers and lakes to assist the marines in attacking the palace, mainly to grab the ancient classics and palace collections in the Japanese imperial city. She wants to do something to continue the Chinese civilization. (Note: During the Tang Dynasty, Japan's "Taika Reform" imitated the long case to build Kyoto Castle, and the famous Heian period and Jianghu period in Japanese history, the Japanese emperor lived in Kyoto, which is different from the modern Japanese emperor living in the Chiyoda residence "Imperial Palace".) )

As for those Japanese samurai, the platoon guns can naturally be dealt with, but they will sneak attack when they hide in the corner, and they can't be guarded against as soon as they get close to people, and they still need the help of the masters led by Lu Siniang and Long Xue's disciples.

After the marines landed, they burned all the way to Kyoto, and the Cao Gang came to a lot of people, and those heroes couldn't help but arrest people on the road, and they swept around the city of Kyoto, working hard to "serve the empire" while making a fortune. And Xu Zhen and other high-level officials thought that this would also be good for emptying the rear and surroundings and preventing a sneak attack by a small Japanese force, so they did not stop it. Therefore, the marching speed of Lu Siniang and the heroes of the Cao Gang is much slower than that of the Navy Seals.

After a day, Lu Siniang's people and horses, as well as the little monkeys of the Long Clan, who were orphaned, had arrived.

The outer gate of the city was smashed by artillery, the fire/gun team of the Marine Corps was in the center, and the Cao Gang and Lu Siniang's men and horses entered the city of Kyoto on two separate wings.

Among them, the happiest and most complicated mood belongs to Lu Siniang, even if Lu Siniang has a bad history, she will kneel and lick the pigtail after wearing a clear brain. But in addition to her own personality and love/prostitution nature, all this is also related to the mainstream popular culture in China in later generations.

One after another braided dramas are made up in disregard of historical common sense, such as the male/dog like Kangxi and Yongzheng who are infatuated with love saints and wise and martial "emperors". This is not bad, and there are also those who praise the "prosperous era of Kangqian" in the academic circles. However, the records that circulated overseas, the records of foreigners, and the riots/riots that could not be concealed in the prosperous era all slapped the face of the prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty. If it weren't for these proofs, we could vaguely see the truth of the prosperous era, and maybe even a small number of skeptics outside the mainstream would not exist. It's really thanks to the hard work of the later generations of Manchuria/the old and the young.

Think about it, how many flag men have never been liquidated by the government or "pulled/chaotic/anyway", all in a harmonious and free atmosphere, can they not miss their high days?

The problem is that according to the psychology of the Chinese, most people will believe and worship.

To a certain extent, the resources and family inheritance of ordinary Han civilians are inferior to theirs, so they will eventually have more advantages in cultural discourse, and it will be convenient to form such a trend.

Otherwise, when the economy in the republic was not good, in the early 90s, it was clearly written in history textbooks that the Manchu Qing was the darkest era. But in the 21st century, everyone yearns for "clean wear".

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Lu Siniang inevitably formed a mindset. But after many lifetimes, she also has the ability to cultivate and lead the people of the rivers and lakes, and she does not essentially abide by the rules of three obedience and four virtues, which is much more useful than Tong Jia's and Niu Hulu's.

Fortunately, in modern patriotic/ismist education and the mainstream three views, there is basically no distortion of Japan, and even if Lu Siniang does not have as much family and country feelings as Heiyu, her attitude towards Japan is basically correct.

Therefore, when she and the army attacked the Suzaku Gate of the Inner Palace in Kyoto, she naturally felt very excited and proud. She thinks about "history", and now her mission, it turns out that she can really become a national heroine.

The gates were closed and only breached by artillery, and the Japanese army and samurai also fired from the castle tower with flintlock fire/guns with a much smaller range, but they were quickly shelled by the Chinese army.

The Japanese gunners were killed and wounded, and the city gates were in tatters. Lu Siniang took her masters to investigate.

A team of fierce warriors came out behind the door, no matter what Lu Siniang said, Jin Yong's world was worn out, and Ling Bo stepped forward to solve it at that moment......

……

The expeditionary headquarters headed by the empress was located in the Ryukyu royal palace, and the king of the Ryukyus made it easy for the kingdom to use everything about the Ryukyus.

The empress was also polite to the Ryukyu royal family, and most of the logistics departments brought it. And occasionally I can't shirk the filial piety of the Ryukyu royal family, and I don't lose my courtesy.

All the troops were dispatched, the General Staff also drew up various war plans, and after giving orders to the troops, the Empress would not be so busy. As long as she is based in the Ryukyus, the logistics supply will be guaranteed.

Since the landing, groups of Japanese have been arrested, loaded onto merchant ships that carry supplies, and transported back to China to be handed over to the cabinet. A prisoner of war reform camp should be built in the inland region of China, and after the transformation, it will be sold, and if it cannot be reformed, it will be killed, and the survival is very cruel.

The southeastern part of Japan is full of smoke and blood, and even in the Ryukyus, it seems that you can smell the smell of blood.

On the eighth day of the third lunar month, although it is not too late, the sky is half a bright moon in the west.

Yuyao stood outside the door of the main palace, the tallest of the Ryukyu Imperial Palace, looked up at the moon, and let out a long sigh. Recently, she has not been as busy as some time ago, but she has trouble sleeping at night.

She often thinks of Lu Man, the real virgin and daughter, without the soul of the octopus girl, she is still a bag child. In that life, her husband was Ichi Kurosawa, and although he was only half Japanese, he was also Japanese.

Lu Man and him love each other so much, stay together, and they are all in the world, but the vicissitudes of life, now the soul of the octopus girl is in Nian Yuyao's body, and it is no longer Lu Man.

The octopus girl has the memory of Lu Man, the wife of the Japanese, and she knows that the Japanese inheritance is respectable and terrible. When Lu Man saw that some of the culture that was once passed down from China was still accompanied by the modern daily life of the Japanese, she actually felt ashamed and inferior for a moment as a "Mary Sue", why couldn't her own nation be passed on?

Yuyao became the empress of China, and those memories also made her sit and lie down, and as the empress of the empire, she had the obligation to clear the addiction for the development of the nation. For the sake of China, we cannot tolerate this tenacious nation on the side of the couch. China has been inherited for 5,000 years and is the only country among the four ancient civilizations that is still a strong country in modern times, but in fact, China cannot become a country of "inheritance". She could not allow one day a nation next to her to become militarily, economically, and culturally big, threatening her country's hegemony in the East. Cultural pluralism is beneficial, but it is absolutely useless to threaten China, otherwise in the 21st century, why would the United States carry out cultural colonization so strongly?

However, it was the first time in many lifetimes that she had indulged her soldiers like wild beasts, killing men, women, and children. Yang Qingling, who deceived Yang Ziyu into Dongying, has been a female prime minister for decades, but she has never launched a war to conquer the Japanese, nor has she killed the Japanese, and the books she only left behind remind future generations to be vigilant. However, in the decades after Yang Zitong entered the Japanese Kingdom, sure enough, the Japanese Kingdom has been at war, and I have heard that she became the Troy of the Japanese Kingdom and caused a struggle. This is just a disaster, Yang Qingling's own hands are clean.

Now she is openly waging a beastly war, but she must hold on, and if the warriors see her softness, they will hesitate and stop, afraid that they will die in this foreign land.

Even if it's wrong, in the moment she insists that she's right, telling her fighters that they're right, that's the firmness that a commander must have. And the merits of Qianqiu, only future generations can comment on it, but those who comment on her inhumanity and inhumanity in later generations should thank her before commenting, otherwise they will not be able to study Chinese history and carry forward the benevolence of a gentleman so comfortably.

Yuyao was psychologically uncomfortable, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and the kindness of Nian Yuyao's girl's seven feelings and the powerful soul with a clear goal seemed to be fighting contradictoryly.

Her strong mental strength will not make her a madman, but the inner torment is not small. She has always been a person in the play, just like Tang Xinwei, Yang Qingling, Shangguan Xing, etc., each has her own love and hate, often the character's seven emotions are kind and simple, but Lao Yu's life and soul is cold "reason", even if it is Lao Yu's seven feelings, she will have this kind of pain. - This kind of pain occurs when many things have to be decided entirely by the cold "reason" of the soul.

"Fighters, I'm sorry. Kurosawaichi, I'm sorry. Japanese...... I'm sorry ...... too."

She couldn't help but feel a little wet in her eyes, and when she heard the sound of footsteps, she hurriedly wiped away her tears.

"Your Majesty, it's cold in the middle of the night, please take care of the dragon's body. ”

She didn't turn her head, only hummed, and asked lightly, "Where is the green warbler?"

"Lord Green Ying is in the office, and the Cao Gang ships are going back and forth a lot, and she is helping the logistics office of the General Staff to audit the accounts. ”

"What a person who can't be idle...... "Green Oriole has been a revolutionary age for ten years, and she has been busy with all kinds of things for ten years.

"Your Majesty...... It's not very idle......"

The empress didn't get angry when she heard this bold sentence, but she sighed again: "People have been boiling for a lifetime, and they have been boiling, how can they be idle? Kangxi boiled Wu Sangui to death, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first general of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, also boiled the enemy to death, so he became the shogun. I'm also boiling, waiting to survive Kangxi and Japan, and I don't know which year I will also be boiled to death......"

Qian Donglai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is no one in this world who is your opponent. ”

"One day I will die of old age, there are talents from all generations, and they have led the way for hundreds of years. ”

"But it's not like anyone can beat you. ”

"It's good that someone can overcome me. "Then I'll just do it with him.

Suddenly, hearing the sound of eager footsteps, the green warbler ran over and said happily: "Your Majesty, news has come from the navy that the Kyoto Imperial Palace has been taken down completely." The heroes of the Marines and the Cao Gang captured the Japanese/Emperor alive. ”

Yu Yao looked at the moon in the sky and sighed, "I'm not afraid of accidents when I'm in a hurry this night." ”

Lu Ying said: "It is only seven or eight o'clock when the messenger arrives at Nalu Port, and there will be no accident in Ryukyu." "Nowadays, there are many business exchanges between China and the West, and the top leaders of the Xinghua Party use pocket watches.

……

The empress was still taken aback when she saw the "good news", and secretly amused, it was actually Lu Siniang who found the secret room of the palace and caught the "Emperor of the Middle Palace". It seems that although Lu Siniang is sometimes brainless, she has been Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong and Zhou Zhiruo, and she is good at this kind of doorway.

With such a great achievement, Lu Siniang's qi is not small, she really can't be promoted to her official position.

After conquering Kyoto and capturing the Empress alive, the Cao Gang merchant ships traveled more to and from the Kansai coast. He collected various artifacts and classics from Kyoto, especially those about China from all over the Qing Dynasty.

When the Cao Gang's ships were busy transporting antiques and books, Lu Siniang and her team escorted the Japanese emperor to Ryukyu from Kansai on the invincible ship "Emperor Wen of Sui".

The Empress and the accompanying officials of the General Staff, as well as the King of the Ryukyus and high-ranking officials of the Ryukyus, received Lu Siniang and others and the Emperor of Japan in the main hall of the Ryukyu Royal Palace.

Emperor Nakomon is now only 11 years old and wears a "sewn armpit robe" that evolved from the "robe" of the Tang and Song dynasties in China, which is already very different from the costumes of the Chinese Tang and Song dynasties, and his mother is holding him. The Japanese emperor does not hold real power, and there is no need to fear that someone in Japan will kill him, because he is a descendant of "Amaterasu".

However, in the face of external enemies, "Amaterasu" will not work. The Chinese army quickly swept through Kansai and entered Kyoto, and the 11-year-old emperor, who had no real power, did not know how to organize a defense, and only the ministers and samurai under his command resisted the incoming enemy and were loyal to him. When the Chinese army really wanted to fight Kyoto, the Kansai area was also turned into scorched earth, and the samurai loyal to the emperor were also killed and wounded, and the last people guarded the lonely city.

The emperor's mother, Fujiwara, also heard that the Chinese army was killing people/setting fires everywhere, and felt that it was not safe outside, so she insisted on not fleeing. She secretly took the child to hide in a secret room that no outsiders knew, but she didn't expect to be dug up by someone like Lu Siniang who had a plug-in.

After Lu Siniang and a few of her subordinates saluted the empress, the empress smiled and said: "Lu Aiqing, you really live up to my expectations, you are wise, brave and loyal, and have made great contributions." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, compliment!" Lu Siniang and the others bowed sincerely.

"The merits of the secretaries will be rewarded together when I return to Beijing. ”

"Wait for your majesty, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Lu Siniang and the others were in high spirits.

Lu Siniang pushed the emperor's mother and son, and said in Japanese: "Don't meet Her Majesty the Empress yet!"

The 11-year-old Emperor Nakagomon said, "I am the emperor of Japan, and I do not worship the emperor of China." I don't know why China wants to plunder Japan, why Japan has been in peace with China for thousands of years, why China wants to provoke a war and let Japan's lives be miserable. ”

The Empress naturally understands Japanese, including complex Japanese. She just hehe, and said: "The Japanese emperor has such a bad attitude, even if I want to negotiate peacefully, I can't lose my national body and lower my voice, and make the Chinese people humiliated! Since he doesn't understand, let's take it down and lock it up first, and then talk about it after I understand." Lu Aiqing, do you have any way to keep an eye on him so that he can't escape?"

Lu Siniang listened to the strange reason and the empress's question, and said in her heart: Your Majesty, your reason for not stopping the war and the reason for not negotiating is really amazing! I can finally understand what a 'politician's face' is! If you are saying this in such a serious way, if I hadn't crossed over, or if I hadn't had a lot of contact with you back then, I'm afraid I would have really believed it! No wonder I couldn't fight you back then! And you had more ways to "get people" than me, so how could you ask me? But this is also a credit, and it can also show my ability, so why not do it?

So, Lu Siniang respectfully gave options A, B, and C: "Your Majesty, the life and death charm is still a bone nail? ”

The empress was graceful, and said with a faint smile: "Lu Aiqing, I believe in your ability, you are so capable, there is always something suitable." You can do it. ”

As she spoke, the Empress waved her hand.

Lu Siniang said happily: "Yes, Your Majesty!" Then, he ordered his subordinates to escort the emperor's mother and son out of the palace.

The members of the Imperial Expeditionary Command present exclaimed: Your Majesty, although they are women and children, they are the kings of a country, and you are done with it? What should we do with the excitement that we are ignited?

It's like, seeing a beautiful woman, she flirts with them, they are all over the blood and take her to open the room, and she tells them at the end that she is a shemale.

The empress sighed to the king of the Ryukyus: "Originally, I still wanted to talk to him, but if he could surrender and agree to admit his mistakes, apologize, and pay reparations to China and the Ryukyus, there would be no need to continue the battle." It's not what I want!"

The king of the Ryukyus bowed and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, but Japan is not civilized. ”

The empress said compassionately: "China, Ryukyu, and Japan are separated by a strip of water, and China and Ryukyu have always been good-neighborly and friendly, and the people are willing to live a peaceful life, so why does Japan always cause trouble in vain? In the Tang Dynasty, China introduced Japanese culture and technology, and in the Ming Dynasty, they sent Japanese pirates to kill the Chinese people; when Ryukyu was invaded by Japan, Ryukyu was willing to 'pay tribute' so that virtue could settle grievances, but it still wanted to oppress Ryukyu. It seems that Japan is a country that embraces virtue with resentment. ”

The king of the Ryukyus said: "What Your Majesty said is very true! The whole Ryukyus are very grateful to the kingdom, and in the future, the Japanese will never come to loot the Ryukyus casually, this is all Your Majesty's favor." ”

The empress said, "The king has been working hard lately. ”

"Don't dare. ”

"I still have official business, so I'll take my leave first. ”

……

After the shogunate army was defeated and scattered, the Sea Lion Marines did not fight, and carried out the order to retreat if they were broken.

After withdrawing from Honshu, all of them landed in Kyushu, and the main marines cooperated in the sweep, and at the southern end of Kyushu, the former Satsuma feudal temple, the feudal army in the domain was basically cleaned, and tens of thousands of civilians were captured and sent to the sea, and they were "transformed" in China.

A small number of feudal armies fled to the northern region with the Shimazu feudal lords, but the northern region was also unable to protect itself, and their sea routes were blocked, so they had to defend the island.

……

Some of the military reporters of Nanjing's official newspapers, the Herald Party Newspaper and the Central Times, followed the ships of the various fleets, and some of them landed with the marines if they wanted to be killed.

The articles they wrote were sent back to China by the people of the Tuocao Gang. Some time ago, the public opinion in the country wanted to levy the Japanese people, but later on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Her Majesty the Empress personally recruited them, which has already opened up the attention and enthusiasm of almost the people of the whole country.

Due to the early guidance of the newspaper's public opinion, the empress personally enlisted, the country had already exploded, and they called for war one after another. Especially those keen entrepreneurs, if there is a war, there are prisoners of war, there are untouchable slaves to buy.

This time, it was the entrepreneurs who called for donations for Wang Shi's captives, and newspapers in other cities also reprinted it one after another, and the commoners saw that some people were calling for donations, and they also donated generously to some extent, and even the farmers who knew in the village pulled some surplus grain and sold it to donate.

At first, the Cabinet Central Committee didn't care, but when more and more representatives of the team sent in bank passbooks and donation lists, they felt that things seemed to have expanded, and the people were all crazy. At that time, the people were still very simple, and things like newspapers had not yet been controlled by the old forces. It was originally a nation with low self-esteem and cowardice, but the Chinese Empire suddenly became an "upstart" in terms of "self-confidence" and "belligerence". The improvement of the real quality of the people also takes time to precipitate, and in this era, such a phenomenon of "self-confident and belligerent nouveau riche" is also useful.

However, the Prime Minister decided to make a statement, and the Imperial Government soon issued a statement in the official newspaper: "I thank the people for their patriotic loyalty, but now the Imperial Government has not yet reached the point of being shy in its pockets. The empire is a requisition and it is not a national disaster, the people have already borne the obligation to pay taxes, and their own living burdens are also heavy, so stop donating first and wait for the news of the king.

However, when the people saw the imperial government lightly issuing this kind of statement, they read this meaning: Isn't it just a war against the Japanese country, it's not a big deal, everyone should do what they should do, don't worry about making money yourself. There is really a national disaster, everyone will make another effort, and we will bear this matter first as officials and soldiers.

As a result, the self-confidence and pride of the people rose again, and spread to the Yunnan-Guizhou, Liangguang, and Guangzhou-Guangxi areas, and the ethnic minorities in the areas where the earliest revolutionary strategies were conquered became even more crazy, holding some celebrations, singing and dancing.
