"I've never seen such a shameless country!" Zuo Zhidan said angrily to Wei Ze.

Even though Zuo Zhidan hadn't had time to introduce the meeting to Wei Ze, Wei Ze could probably guess what was going on, because Wei Ze had similar anger and sighs when he was young. Of course, Weeser also had the anger of "I want to be more shameless than them", but now Weesser's attitude has changed again, and the materialists only believe in the facts, only choose to analyze the specific situation on a case-by-case basis, and respond according to the situation at that time. This is not just the core idea of Marxism, but the common denominator of all the great ruling classes.

Wei Ze can now ascend the throne of the emperor, and can even despise the title of emperor, not because Wei Ze himself has the ability to suppress a qiē, but because Wei Ze himself represents the interests of the Guangfu Party and the interests of the majority of the Chinese people. Just like the angry Zuo Zhidan in front of him, he realized how shameless the British were, and felt the shamelessness of the British damaging to China's interests. The reason why China's interests have not been directly harmed is not because of anger, let alone because of morality. The Liberation Army was able to defend China's interests, so China's interests were protected. The person who created the Liberation Army and gave it such an ability was Wei Ze. As long as Zuo Zhidan does not change his philosophy, he must stand with Wei Ze in order to achieve his expectations.

It is very easy to get rid of Wei Ze, so many members of the Political Bureau, and even the national representative of the Liberation Party, as long as one person is willing to cut his body, he can pull Wei Ze, the emperor, off the horse. But in the current position, so many people have always defended Wei Ze, the reason is very simple, Wei Ze represents everyone's interests, and what he is fighting for is the foundation of all everyone's interests. As long as it does not reach the point of personal interests, everyone can still understand that Weiser's success represents the most basic interests of everyone.

"Old Zuo, tell me what the British have to ask for." Weser laughed.

Zuo Zhidan carefully said the British Yankee's request, and after finishing speaking, he said angrily: "Dudu, I'm angry after listening to it!" Grandma's, as long as I have the chance, I'm going to kill all the Brits, dismantle them all, and chop them into meat sauce! ”

Wei Ze also felt this way back then, he couldn't help laughing, "I said Lao Zuo, the British have tens of millions, not to mention chopping into meat sauce, stretching your neck for you to cut one by one, you can't finish cutting you if you're tired!" ”

After all, Zuo Zhidan was born in diplomacy, even if he was full of anger, after listening to Wei Ze's words, he asked a little surprised: "Governor, do you also want to kill all the British?" ”

Wei Ze poured Zuo Zhidan a glass of water, "Of course I thought so, but I can't do it." I'm afraid I won't see that in my lifetime. After all, we are too far from the British mainland, and the British have spent hundreds of years fighting here, and expecting me to spend decades to fight in Europe, I don't think it's ordinarily difficult. ”

Hearing such truthful words, Zuo Zhidan restrained his anger a little, he took a long breath, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the opinion of the British?" ”

Wei Ze put away his smile, frowned slightly and said, "I personally have a high opinion of your work, and it is a good start to let the British tell the truth like this." We don't have any special needs for Japan in the near future, and if the British want to do this, let them do it. We don't stop it, but we don't do it. ”

This time it was Zuo Zhidan's turn to frown, "Your Majesty, the British are so arrogant in Japan, will we just sit idly by?" ”

Weser nodded, "The British can be arrogant in Japan, but we don't allow them to be so arrogant in Goryeo." You can talk to the British, and we agree with the British on Japanese affairs, but Goryeo will not allow the British to get involved, and if the British do not agree to Goryeo's affairs, we will not agree to Japanese affairs. ”

Seeing the attitude of the British in Japan, Zuo Zhidan disagreed with Wei Ze's opinion, "Will the British agree?" ”

"Agreeing or disagreeing is a matter for the British, and it is our question whether or not to make it clear. The two things cannot be confused. Weeser said. After finishing speaking, Wei Ze remembered something, "Recently, we want to carry out comprehensive ideological education, materialism is the most important content, first of all, we have to carry out the cultivation of the three views. I'm counting on you to have a good explanation in it! ”

"I can't swallow this breath!" Zuo Zhidan directly expressed his attitude.

"Then do you think that Manchu Qing was beaten out of the gates, can he swallow this breath? But what if you can't swallow this breath? Materialists speak of the primacy of matter and the secondness of consciousness. Imagination is a matter of consciousness, and imagination alone is useless. Matter is what determines a qiē. Weser laughed.

Under Wei Ze's direct instructions, Zuo Zhidan sulked and began to discuss the Goryeo issue with the British. To Zuo Zhidan's surprise, the British did not insist on the Japanese question in their attitude towards Goryeo. Zuo Zhidan stressed that if the Goryeo issue cannot be discussed, there is no need to discuss the Japanese issue. The British ambassador softened his attitude and asked the Chinese what kind of system they wanted to establish in Goryeo.

There was no special interference in Goryeo in Chinese history, and the biggest interference was that the king of Goryeo had to be canonized by the emperor of China. In addition, who Goryeo is willing to do business with and how the business is done, as long as it is not blatantly against China's interests, everyone does not care at all.

However, with the attitude of the British in Japan, Zuo Zhidan simply added the British thing in Japan on top of the canonization of the king of Goryeo. Goryeo's customs were completely controlled by China, and China did not accept foreign military invasion of Goryeo. In short, a qiē is controlled by China.

To Zuo's surprise, the British finally proposed that the two sides sign an agreement to decide the fate of Japan and Goryeo in a clear way.

This really frightened Zuo Zhidan, and he hurriedly went to Wei Ze to report the matter. Britain is such a shameless country as having rules, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be true.

Wei Ze snorted coldly, "Just sign this treaty with them!" We will first withdraw our troops from Japan, and at the same time let our troops fight north. first seized the Luda and completely sealed the Bohai Sea. At the same time, they marched into Goryeo and asked them to hand over Jeju Island. There is also the need to win Tsushima, and the Japanese cannot be allowed to skip such a shift. ”

After all, Zuo Zhidan is the foreign minister, not a member of the Military Commission, so naturally these military matters cannot be interfered with. He could only carry out Weese's arrangement in this regard. In addition to signing secret treaties, they also had to negotiate with the British about China's leased land in the Dutch East Indies for production.

On February 1, 1868, after the signing of the secret treaty between China and Britain on the Japanese question, the "Chinese embassy guards" also evacuated Kyoto and returned to China by ship.

The joint forces he tried his best to promote were already the elite of the shogunate, and the Chinese army was withdrawn, thinking that he would be able to master this army with combat experience. Surprisingly, the Shinsengumi also sent someone to see them off, and Toshizo Hijikata came to say goodbye on behalf of the Shinsengumi.

As the main force of the fallen army that annihilated Fushimi, 39 were killed and 129 wounded in the Battle of Toba Fushimi, and although there were many wounded in the Shinsengumi, few died. Hijikata didn't mention it at all, let alone that the Shinsengumi march was no match for the Japanese soldiers in the coalition army. He just bowed and said, "Thank you for the famous knife that gave us!" ”

Zhou Xinhua knew that the knives were mass-produced. He could only laugh, "If you like it, it's fine!" ”

Sheng Haizhou was very reluctant, but the Japanese side naturally had no way to force the Chinese army. "Zhou Jun, I hope to have the opportunity to fight side by side with you again!"

Zhou Xinhua just smiled, the incompetence of the shogunate army had been fully demonstrated. If the Liberation Army had 15,000 troops, facing the Choshu Domain, which was close at hand, it would have gone up to the Choshu Domain and destroyed it. According to the intelligence, the remaining strength of the Choshu Domain is less than 4,000, even if the equipment is relatively good, there are a lot of artillery, and the Chinese army who has personally fought with the Choshu Domain knows very well how bad this group of guys who have just learned to line up to shoot is really bad.

The Liberation Army used breech guns, and tactics began to enter the three-three system of movement warfare. Particularly evident in this battle was the movement in front of the enemy, and the Liberation Army, using its new basic combat skills, was able to lurk at a distance of less than 100 meters in front of the enemy's position, and quickly launched an attack after the artillery fired. The Chōshū clan was powerless to resist this mode of attack. But such a group of weak chickens can make the shogunate army fearful like tigers, thinking that the Choshu domain has strong combat effectiveness.

Not only did the shogun have this opinion, but the Shinsengumi did not have a strong intention to attack, and the meeting group was also a hardcore force composed of shogunates. Looking at this group of guys, Zhou Xinhua only felt that it was a pure insult to stand in the same camp with these people. Finally being able to return to China without losing their lives for this group of incompetent people who were scattered in the sand undoubtedly solved the huge psychological torture of the Chinese army.

But Zhou Xinhua still recognizes Sheng Haizhou, this guy is not radical or corrupt, and he has a relatively fresh feeling. So Zhou Xinhua asked: "How is Mr. Haizhou going to use those Japanese brothers?" ”

Sheng Haizhou didn't expect Zhou Xinhua to say this, and he couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment on his face. This next week, Xinhua is completely desperate for the shogunate, and it is just that he does not accept the new mode of operation. In Zhou Xinhua's view, if there is an elite unit that has experienced brutal battles, it is necessary to give full play to the capabilities of this unit. The Liberation Army has a political commissar system, led by the party. The shogunate did not have such a system, so it was better to send a prison army, led by Katsu Kaishu, a loyal minister of the shogunate. With the addition of hand-to-hand combat masters like the Shinsengumi and the Tsumi Kumi, it is entirely possible to continue to win battles.

Sheng Haizhou's expression was enough to prove that he was not entrusted with such a heavy responsibility. That means that this elite army is just left here without going up to the world.

No longer bothering to think about these unpleasant questions, Zhou Xinhua said to Sheng Haizhou: "I wish Mr. Haizhou a long martial arts!" ”

There was no more nonsense, Zhou Xinhua took the troops and got on the ship back to China without looking back. Stepping on the warship of the motherland, Zhou Xinhua let out a sigh of relief, and it feels good that he no longer has to be responsible for the incompetent.
