58. Motegi Kito

On the morning of March 2, under the repeated adjustments of Commander Sun, the encirclement of Motegi was completely formed. The transfer of the headquarters of Motegi-mae to the North Hara Pass from the slope of the mountains and rivers to the North Hara Pass was a wrong move. He wanted to go all out to destroy the defenders of the northern front in one fell swoop, but he didn't want to fall into the attack of the defenders in the south on his back.

Motegi Mae-no-tsuki, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, Shizuoka Chrysanthemum Town. He was born into a family of declining scholars, and by the time he was born, Japanese society had lost the economic and political basis for their existence as the shogunate declined.

Motegi's father, Shotaro Kawahara, was inevitably a victim and victim of Emperor Hirohito and the reformers. As the head of the shogunate, Tokugawa Keiki was still too busy to take care of himself, and he had to fall into this big tree. The situation took a turn for the worse like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and Tokugawa Yoshiki could not take care of the daimyo and samurai who had followed him before.

Kintaro Kawahara sat at his home in Chrysanthemum Town, sighed, and watched the emperor's reforms flourish. Relying on a bit of family background, the wealth left by the ancestors is still a little accumulated, and eating and dressing are far from a problem.

Kawahara Nutaro's fifth ancestor, Toyoyoshi Hideta, was a pirate leader who came to the Ming Dynasty many times to plunder the coast, and in 1563 he led pirates to plunder Xianyu, where he looted priceless treasures. Some rich eunuchs have accumulated treasures for several generations, and even treasures left over from the Song Dynasty, all of which have been looted by them.

Later, Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army to kill, and Fengji Xiutian had to bury some of the treasures in the Three Immortals Temple, and led a small number of people to flee in makeup. Before leaving, he drew a map of the seven stars where the treasure was hidden, so that he could come back to retrieve the treasure in the future. was chased by the Qi family army back then, and fled back to Japan with nine deaths. When he returned to Toyoshi Hideda in Japan, he was sick and worried about the treasures in the Ming Dynasty Xianyou City every day, and died of madness. What he left behind, but the younger generations gradually changed from ronin to daimyo......

Kintaro Kawahara and his wife, Koheko, have three sons and two daughters, with Motegi being the youngest. This old pimple has been weak and sick since he was a child, and the little lotus child looks at this sick son every day. Because of his family's good situation, Motegi Maenotsuki was smart and studious, so he received a good education from an early age.

Motegi Mae no Tsuki is equivalent to graduating from junior high school, and he often finds a treasure map handed down from his ancestors to study. He was interested in the fact that the samurai and ronin, represented by the ancestor Toyoyoshi Hideta, used the monsoon to drift across the sea, almost disturbing the Ming Dynasty.

Heroic and combative, can be a model for the Yamato nation......

At the same time, he also learned from some legends and materials left by his ancestors that the samurai and ronin at that time did not live in Japan, so they went to the sea to do business with the Ming Dynasty (including the people). It was only because the emperor of the Ming court was mediocre and listened to the slanderous rumors of the traitor Yan Song that the mutual market was canceled, and the pirates had no choice but to loot, and they became pirates......

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan became an Asian power, and some people proposed that Japan break away from Asia and join Europe...... The upper echelons of Japan were mainly the emperor and the military, actively preparing for aggressive expansion. Motegi Mae no Tsuki also joined this torrent, he studied artillery at Tokyo Metropolitan University, and became one of the first talents trained by the Japanese for the invasion of China.

For the purpose of aggression, the Japanese government agreed with the late Qing government to send high-ranking personnel to give lectures and study abroad in the name of diplomacy. Motegi Maenotsuki first came to the Qing Dynasty in 1900 to study history and the Art of War at the Baoding Military Academy at the age of 22.

From the time he was in middle school, it was when the Meiji Restoration in Japan was in full swing. While Motegi was studying cultural classes, he was also imperceptibly influenced by the spirit of bushido.

In order to achieve the goal of aggression, the Japanese military and the emperor sent people to the Qing Dynasty to give lectures and study abroad generally had a variety of ulterior purposes, such as spying on the military situation and learning about products, folk customs, and culture.

As soon as he stepped off the boat from the sea, he felt the magic of this land. Judging from the social situation at that time, the Qing Dynasty was as backward as Japan in the 16th century, and it was also faced with the reality that the door was opened by the Western powers......

Because of his mission, the plan to go to the place where Xianyou's ancestors kept treasures can only exist in the bottom of his heart first. He also often looked at the general direction of Xianyou City, full of spirit, and had the feeling of thinking about the past...... Of course, he also knew that the Qi family's army had leveled the southeast with force, and the big and small pirates were either killed or driven into the sea like ducks......

In 1901, according to the agreement, Motegi Mae Zhizhu came to Baoding Military Academy again with the tasks assigned to him by the military department and the staff headquarters, as well as the desire for the broad and profound Chinese culture. According to the Japanese note, Motegi-mae-no-tsuki needed to walk around the Qing Dynasty and sightsee.

In the spring of 1905, he came to Baoding for the third time, also with two assistants, who were also his students. At that time, although he had traveled all over China, he still cherished the mystery of this country. Doing things for the military, he was as religious as the first time he set foot on the land every time, leaving no stone unturned.

Sometimes, he just feels that the task on his body is too heavy, and he can't wait to have a trick.

In 1906, he came to Baoding for the fourth time and began his lecture career. Unlike the last time, this time he took five students, who he first studied the Art of War, and at the same time traveled to various parts of China to learn from various martial artists. Among his apprentices, there is Oshima Shuo.

He was in the Baoding Military Academy, and he was talking about modern military affairs. At this time, Japan had already embarked on the road of modern expansion. The invasion of the Qing Dynasty in China intensified, and the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle in 1894 wiped out the Beiyang Navy.

In 1900, when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing, Japan received the highest most-favored-nation treatment from the Qing Dynasty, and from then on, they stationed troops in Dongjiaomin Lane, set up garrisons in Tianjin Haiguang Temple, and stationed troops at various key points from Beijing to Qinhuangdao......

In 1905, the Russo-Japanese War was launched, and from then on, Northeast China was designated as Kwantung Prefecture, and the permanent garrison was the Kwantung Army......

They also knew that the Qing Dynasty had just been tossed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it was submissive in front of the foreign powers, so it was a loss to sit on an equal footing with other powers and get a piece of the pie.

In 1909, Motegi came to the Baoding Military Academy again, due to the increase in students, he also made more friends, and this time he took twice as many students as the previous few times combined. He led his students to travel all over China, inside and outside the Great Wall, and even to the marginal provinces of Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia.
