"Your Majesty the Emperor, please issue an edict ordering Takehiro Enomoto and Toshio Hijikata to report to Beijing for their duties." Shan County Youpeng said in a serious tone, as if his original intention was exactly that.

After listening to such a suggestion, many people popped up the word "heavenly punishment" in their hearts. "Heavenly Punishment" was an assassination ploy by the Restoration aspirants against important members of the shogunate. The shogunate chicken flying dog jumping that used to be engaged in was just a chicken flying dog jumping. At present, the Shinsengumi of the upper echelons of Hokkaido, the Kanhui Group, etc., were the main forces responsible for purging the people of the Restoration at that time. Whether it was the "Ikedaya" incident carried out by the Shinsengumi, or the assassination attempt by the Minhui group to kill a group of people, including Ryoma Sakamoto. Now the guys in Hokkaido are using "counter-revolutionary terror" to suppress "revolutionary terror", and they have done quite successfully.

Confucius once said, "The initiator has no aftermath", and the Heavenly Punishment soon became a means of cleaning up political opponents by the Japanese Restorationists. The "heretics" are always more hateful than the infidels, and the Restorationists are even more merciless when they kill the Restorationists, just as hardcore shogunate supporters like Isamu Kondo did not die in Honshu, but were killed by the Hokkaido gang.

At present, there are as many people in Japan's three islands as they shout that they will punish the leaders of Hokkaido, and these people have not been able to make waves in Hokkaido, which does not mean that these people can stop on Honshu Island.

Listening to such a suggestion that was very favorable to Tianzhu, all the high-ranking officials of the Meiji government were silent, even if a few were obviously excited in their hearts, they also held back their silence. This is also a completely helpless thing, the Japanese Navy Minister Yamamoto Gonbei looked at his nose and mouth, and his mouth and heart, and he was as immovable as a Buddha at the imperial meeting. Everyone knows that the foundation of the attack on Hokkaido is not the army but the navy, but no one mentions it. Japan was not closed off after the Meiji Restoration, and the "demonstrations" of the Chinese Navy's Grand Fleet in Europe caused huge internal shocks in European countries. Naturally, Japan also knew the news. As a close neighbor of China, Japan has also watched the warships of the Chinese Navy from afar, and the next ...... There's nothing to talk about.

Even the Japanese gave such an order to ask Japan's warships of more than 2,000 tons to confront China's warships of more than 20,000 tons. Although in naval battles, a Japanese large-caliber shell hit the weakest point of the Chinese warship, causing a chain explosion that led to the sinking of the Chinese giant ship, the topic of which was popular within the Japanese Navy.

The upper echelons of the Japanese Navy are quite sober, and they have no interest in getting involved in this kind of boring fantasy game of "one shot into the soul" in the Japanese style. Intelligence shows that none of the Japanese artillery is capable of penetrating the armor of important parts of the Chinese capital ships. As long as any of the main artillery shells of the main ships of the Chinese Navy hit the Japanese warship, the best situation for the Japanese warship is that it will immediately lose its combat effectiveness.

Emperor Meiji did not speak immediately, and he also knew a lot about the situation in Hokkaido. After discussing and discussing, there are only two best ways to do this. One is to fight desperately, the navy opens the way, and the army lands. The population of Hokkaido is now around 6 million, and if you want to solve Hokkaido by force, you need at least 600,000 troops. The top brass of the Meiji government knew about their situation and raised 600,000 troops to train and arm them. Even without a war, the finances of the Meiji government were already bankrupt. Even at the cost of financial bankruptcy, the time limit to maintain this 600,000-strong army to continue fighting is only about six months. Once the time limit passed, whether it won or lost, the Meiji government was over.

If we can't get there, we can only hope that Hokkaido will go south. The Meiji government annihilated Hokkaido's army in large numbers and exhausted Hokkaido's troops and equipment before launching a counterattack. In doing so, the Meiji government forces would not be able to move north if China sent troops to mediate and the navy blocked the Tsugaru Strait. Then all the designs had to fall short.

Compared with these unreliable choices, Tianzhu is really the most feasible choice. Emperor Meiji was thinking about what would happen if he were to carry out the Heavenly Execution. He finally asked, "How many warships does Hokkaido's navy have purchased from China now?" ”

"Four!" Gonbei Yamamoto replied immediately. The Chinese cruisers that had performed great feats in the naval battle to expel the British Navy from the western Pacific had been decommissioned from the Chinese naval sequence, and the Hokkaido Navy had acquired four of them. After modernization, these old ships still have the strength to comprehensively suppress the Meiji government's navy.

"It is said that they are ready to buy two more warships of 5,000 tons." There were mixed emotions in Yamamoto's tone. Envy is inevitable, and if the two Japanese navies can really be unified, this navy will immediately become one of the most powerful navies in the world. The helpless mood is on top of envy, even if this navy can be ranked first in the world, their real possible combat target is probably only the Chinese Navy. In the face of the powerful Chinese navy, the role of this Japanese fleet is probably only to add some trouble to the Chinese navy. In the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the Japanese Navy could not even talk about a threat.

Listening to this additional explanation, Emperor Meiji wisely chose to remain silent. If the damage to the Emperor's Sacred Power can be exchanged for Hokkaido's recovery, he may still be able to consider a thing or two. There is no such possibility of such an outcome in the current situation, and any efforts will be in vain in the face of the Chinese Navy until the Meiji government gains control of the sea in the western Pacific, or at least until it gains control of the Tsugaru Strait.

The Imperial Council adjourned before there was any result, and when the ministers confronted each other in private, Da Shanyan couldn't help but complain about Youpeng in Qishan County, "How can you make such a request to Your Majesty?!" ”

This accusation is already very severe, and the Japanese have never cared about engaging in intrigues. If the conspiracy succeeds, the perpetrators will probably still be universally respected. However, dragging the emperor into such a thing, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the mountain mountain is too bold, and Dashan Yan also cares for the mountain mountain to ask this question.

Youpeng of Shan County's expression was calm at all, and he replied calmly: "When I waited for the time when I went north, how many people were promoting the official army. If the rebels in Hokkaido go south now, how many people will promote them for them? ”

This question was asked by Dashanyan, including the high-ranking officials behind Dashanyan who were ready to follow up and accuse Youpeng in Shanxian County.

"Land is a means of production, a tool that allows laborers to obtain food through production. Under the old system, the land became a tool for the landlords to exercise their power, and after a year of hard work, the people themselves could not eat a few meals of rice......"

"Some people say that if the land is not privatized, the people will not treat the land well. This is all nonsense, and treating land well and rationally using and developing land is a scientific category. No matter how good the wish is in the heart, if you can't talk about science and can't adopt a method of use that conforms to the laws of nature, the land will inevitably be served badly. Those who are high up have their own monopoly on technology, and they do not allow the people to study and study science and technology on their own, and their lies ......"

"Where does a happy life come from, it must be created by labor! ……”

This propaganda from Hokkaido gradually spread in the Japanese islands of Mishima. If Hokkaido only talked about land ownership, the Meiji government would have been able to effectively make the perception of private ownership prevail over the perception of public ownership. However, the propaganda in Hokkaido does not involve land ownership, but the people of the three islands of Japan are publicized in simple terms about the means of production, productive forces, and production relations. The Meiji government found that they were beginning to show signs of defeat in the battle for public opinion.

To understand public ownership from the standpoint of private ownership is the question of the ownership of land to private individuals or land to the state. Looking at this issue from the standpoint of public ownership, there is no question of land ownership at all. Land is only a means of production, and what we need to consider is how to manage the means of production and how to distribute the final products produced by land.

The Japanese love to go to extremes, and those men, women, and children in Hokkaido face the harsh environment and simply go all the way to the dark. With China's theoretical foundation, Hokkaido has made great progress in theoretical construction.

Is it the land that gets the food, or the laborers who get the food?

Is it one of the options or the only option to require workers to speak, learn, and use science?

After more than a dozen parliamentary discussions, the Hokkaido government finally formulated a system and laws based on this theory. And it is clearly announced. Even with such a simple thing, the Meiji government immediately felt the pressure.

The intellectuals of Japan's Mishima discussed this set of things and praised the teaching, learning, and application of science. Taking science as the standard means completely breaking down the walls of origin and ancestry. The judgment of any person becomes a test of one's own ability.

Farmers in Mishima, Japan, discuss this set of things, and they support the exchange of labor for the fruits of labor. Since private ownership is so strong that the peasants are powerless to resist, they simply overturn it and start over. The system of exchanging labor for remuneration was undoubtedly a heavenly life for Japanese peasants.

The existence of Hokkaido not only gave a haven to the remnants of the shogunate, landless peasants, poor people, and those who sought to live a free life. Now, in turn, Hokkaido has begun to dig the foundation for the existence of the Meiji government. People everywhere are talking about Hokkaido, not the pink Hokkaido in the Yellow Book, but Hokkaido as a new way of life.

Leaflets against the Meiji government, against landlords, for the establishment of a parliament, for the implementation of land nationalization, became popular in Tokyo, Osaka, Kagoshima, in large and small Japanese cities, in the military, and in the countryside.

The Meiji government was able to overthrow the shogunate not entirely by force, but by a completely new set of ideas. This idea spread throughout Japan long before the Shogunate began to attack the shogunate. In the process of overthrowing the shogunate, how many local people propagandized for the Meiji army. The remnants of the Red Newspaper Army, now assembled in Hokkaido, entered the Kanto region to open the way for the new government forces and spread the policy of rent reduction to the peasants before they were completely betrayed and killed by the Meiji government. The advance of the official army in the Kanto region was strongly supported by the peasants.

The story of the Red Newspaper Team has also become known to the whole of Japan with the political offensive in Hokkaido, and too many people can prove the propaganda of the Red Newspaper Team. Moreover, this time, the Red Newspaper team shouted to the Japanese farmers in the official capacity of Hokkaido, "We can do it if we only collect 30% of the agricultural tax!" ”

More than ten years ago, the Meiji army overthrew the shogunate by the gathering of anti-shogunate forces from all over the world, and a considerable number of the Meiji upper echelons who lived through that era are still alive. Now the Meiji government is not only facing a situation similar to that of the shogunate, but there is now a great sign that the Meiji government will repay the sins they committed back then.

In addition to silence, these people are only silent.
