In the middle of the night, the American Marines finally stopped their search for the whole island, leaving the soldiers on the night vigil and the others going to the barracks to rest.

Yoshihide Miyamoto, dressed in a black night suit, hid on the roof of the house, and looked at the American soldiers below, sometimes in twos and threes, and then jumped over and kept approaching the place where the Japanese expatriates lived.

In the evening, after sending Zhang Yuanji to the secret hiding place prepared in advance, he rested for two hours according to the original plan, and after late at night, he came out to contact the clansmen to discuss the matter in a few days.

Yoshihide Miyamoto knew the difficulties of his trip. The difficulty is not that the people are unwilling or unable to do anything, but how to convince the people not to invoke the Imperial army and try to occupy Hawaii.

He didn't have a verdict in his mind, although what the master said was very reasonable, he also felt that it was right. However, for those people, can reasoning alone dispel the growing evil thoughts in their hearts?

When he arrived at the place where the clansmen were about to fly by, he suddenly noticed a trace of breath, turned his head to look, but saw a figure standing in a hidden place in the corner of the house, and the man asked, "Is it Miyamoto-kun?" ”

Listening to the voice, Miyamoto Yoshiei knew who was coming. He also stood up and replied to the man, "It's Ikegami-kun, right?" Are you waiting for me? ”

In front of him was Sakai Ikegami, who, like Yoshihide Miyamoto, was a shabby samurai class who had crossed the ocean to Hawaii as a teenager to make a living. Because of these common characteristics, in the past five years, Ikegami Sakai and Miyamoto Yoshiei have been friends with each other, which can be called a neck. After losing the land lease ordinance case and the Han Hawaiian riot, Ikegami Sakai knew that Miyamoto Yoshihide would definitely come tonight.

"Not only am I waiting for you, everyone is waiting for you." Ikegami Sakai said lightly.

At this time, most of the Japanese immigrants in Hawaii worked on sugar cane farms owned by white people, and they did more work than white people, but they were never treated equally. Slowly, among the youth, a secret organization was formed, and the core of this organization was the descendants of the samurai class such as Miyamoto Yoshiei and Ikegami Sakai.

Miyamoto Yoshiei entered the house, and sure enough, he saw that everyone had already gathered here, but Oishi Saburo was missing.

"Where did Oishi-kun go?" Yoshihide Miyamoto asked.

"In the afternoon, he was captured by American soldiers." Takeshi Ishii explained.

Seeing that Miyamoto Yoshiei had already sat down, Ikegami Sakai also closed the door, sat down cross-legged, looked at everyone, and said, "Now we have organized a group of seven people, except for Oishi-kun who was captured, they are all here. Now what we're going to discuss is, now that there's a riot in Hawaii, what are we going to do? ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one wanted to speak, whether to endure or riot with the Han people, this choice was not easy to make.

"Miyamoto-kun, what do you think, the master of the Tang Dynasty leader?" Katsuyoshi Inaka, who was on the side, asked.

Miyamoto Yiying frowned, he didn't want to take out Zhu Fangsheng's idea so early, he needed to know what these friends thought first. Because, Miyamoto Yoshiei knew that there must be a secret spy sent by the empire.

"What Mr. Zhu means is to respect our choice, and if we choose to forbear, he guarantees that the unrest will not affect us." Yoshihide Miyamoto threw out a bait.

"Forbearance, why forbearance?" The irascible Hiraki Nosuke was the first to cry out, "In this Hawaii, we Yamato people are the most diligent, why don't the whites give us the same wage?" Those white pigs, lazy and lazy, do the least work, but get paid more than we do! Why? Is it because our skin is yellow? ”

"This time we should stand with the Tang people," Inoue Hachiyong also said, "Although the Chinese Exclusion Act of the United States refers to the Tang people, it also covers us." We are inseparable from the Tang people. Oishi-kun, didn't you do nothing and get caught? Miyamoto-kun's master is a man of great means, and if he really wants to start an incident this time, I think there is a great hope of success, and we should help him. ”

Katsuyoshi Inaka frowned, and still asked Miyamoto Yoshiei, "If you really want to do something, can you succeed?" ”

Miyamoto Yoshiei hadn't answered yet, and Takeshi Ishii on the side had already said lightly: "If you know that you succeed and go to help, what do you think of the samurai?" ”

Hearing this, Katsuyoshi was furious and scolded Takeshi Ishii: "Baga! ”

Ikegami Sakaichi frowned and said, "Inoaka-kun, pay attention to your words!" ”

Ikegami's prestige among the crowd was very high, and as soon as he spoke, Inaka stopped talking.

Takeshi Ishii asked, "There are only a few thousand whites on the island, but we add the Tang people, but there are tens of thousands, as long as we can manage to get the American soldiers off the warship, we can win." I guess the Han leader thinks the same way. Am I right, Miyamoto-kun? ”

Miyamoto Yoshiei nodded, he already roughly knew what a few people were thinking, so he further said: "Mr. Zhu has already planned everything, I came here just to ask everyone, what should we do after the victory?" ”

Hiraki Nosuke was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean after that?" Isn't it over that we fought for Hawaii and got equality? ”

"Miyamoto-kun is asking if we want to bring in the Imperial Navy." Takeshi Ishii still said lightly.

Katsuyoshi Inaka looked around, still asking Miyamoto Yoshihide, "What does your Han leader think?" ”

Miyamoto Yoshiei thought about it, and then said directly: "Mr. Zhu plans to negotiate with the United States and still join the United States of America!" ”

After hearing this, Ikegami Sakai asked in surprise, "Then what else are you doing?" ”

Miyamoto explained, "The main purpose of this move is to give Hawaii autonomy. ”

"In my opinion, the empire should be given the right to govern!" Katsuyoshi Inaka said suddenly.

Inoue Hachiyong asked, "Is the empire capable of challenging the United States?" ”

Takeshi Ishii said lightly: "Of course not, the empire has just finished the war with Russia, and its vitality has not yet recovered, and it is making every effort to digest the newly occupied lands in the Northeast and North Korea, where will there be energy to attack here?" ”

Katsuyoshi Inaka said, "To occupy Hawaii, you only need to dispatch the Imperial Navy. Here in Hawaii, although we are not as many as the Tang people, we are the third most ethnic group, not to mention, our imperial navy is much stronger than the Qing navy, and we can rush over in the shortest possible time! As long as we work together inside and out, we can take Hawaii! ”

"It's all said, the empire has not recovered, and there is no capital to fight this war. The Tang leaders staged a coup d'état at this time, and the reactions of various countries must have been thought out. Either we just sit back and enjoy it, or we can help it get done, and it's better not to think about superfluous things. Takeshi Ishii still had a faint tone.

"Should a samurai be afraid of difficulties?" Katsuyoshi Inaka fought back fiercely, "This is the time to dedicate yourself to the empire!" ”

"You frivolous literati have not changed for so many years!" Takeshi Ishii said lightly, "You didn't listen carefully to Mr. Zhongjiang's words. What is our vocation as a Japanese? What will be our fate in 100 years? Have you thought about these questions? We only know that if we act in accordance with the inevitable trend of the times, sooner or later we will lead Japan to destruction! ”

Katsuyoshi Inaka was originally unconvinced, but after Takeshi Ishii mentioned Nakae Zhaomin, he couldn't say anything more. Speaking of this, Jiang Zhaomin was really a great and unique thinker during the Meiji Restoration, and his commendability lies in the fact that he was not influenced by the surging trend of thought of "breaking away from Asia and joining Europe" throughout Japan at that time, and pointed out the defects of his own nation in a deep and cold manner. However, trapped by the trend of the times, after all, the reasonable are powerless.

However, all of you here have read Zhongjiang Zhaomin's book. Ishii Takeshi is a believer in Zhongjiang Zhaomin, and once asked someone to carve a stamp, which reads "Lackeys under Zhongjiang Gate", so as soon as Inaka Katsuyoshi proposed to let the Imperial Navy come, he was vetoed by Ishii Takeshi at once.

Ikegami Sakai looked at a few people, and already had a decision in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I agree with Ishii-kun's words, the land of Hawaii should be governed by Hawaiians, and if we can get equality, we shouldn't force anything." ”

But Miyamoto Yoshiei said: "Let's vote to solve it, and the minority obeys the majority." Vote on two issues: first, whether we should participate in the coup d'état; Second, should we bring in the Imperial Navy? ”

Ikegami Sakai nodded and said, "Okay, one person, one vote, Oishi-kun is not here, I will find a way to ask his opinion tomorrow." ”

The results of the vote came out quickly, and the first question, everyone's opinion was unanimous, 6 to 0, agreeing to participate in the coup; The second question is four to two, two people agree, even if Oishi-kun in prison agrees, it is only four to three.

When Miyamoto Yoshiei saw the result, he secretly calculated in his heart, not knowing who the other one was among the two people who voted, except for Katsuyoshi Inoaka. He knew that he had to take care of those two with Ishii Takeike Kami, and he couldn't restrain them by voting. At this time, Takeshi Ishii, who was on the side, saw his appearance, smiled knowingly, but said, "Miyamoto-kun, even if we vote not to participate in the incident, I guess you will participate, right?" ”

Yoshiei Miyamoto nodded and replied, "Yes." This is a step in my practice, and I will definitely participate in it. ”

"So what do we vote for?" Hiraki nosuke exclaimed, "If Miyamoto-kun participates, will we stand idly by?" ”

After such a major event was decided, everyone was a little relaxed, and they were a little relaxed in their conversations, and they were not in a hurry to discuss the specific details of their actions. Only Katsuyoshi Inaka had some indignation on his face, he was very angry in his heart at these people who did not do their best for the empire, but only thought about their own food and clothing, and he secretly made a plan in his heart, and decided that once the coup d'état in Hawaii was successful, he would immediately notify the combined fleet of the empire, and he would do the internal response, and he must bring this pearl in the Pacific Ocean into the arms of the empire.

As everyone knows, Zhu Fangsheng had long been on guard against people like him, and when he finished sending telegrams to Japan, he was controlled by the Hongmen people, and the combined fleet ran a trick for Zhu Fangsheng in vain.
