"Your Excellency Elder, every time you come to Middle-earth, you can see how advanced your country's construction is, which is really admirable......

"Alright, alright."

Li Xiangqian understands that due to the different views of honor and disgrace, when the Japanese face is faced with people who need to kneel and lick, the face is simply dumbfounded, which is naturally due to Japan's geographical environment, the narrow-mindedness of the islanders, and the other views on survival made by the earthquake-stricken countries.

For the elders, these Japanese are certainly commercial spies to watch out for, enemies to be wary of, and good people to make video games and provide actresses, but for people of this era, the bad feelings towards Japan are really not deep.

At this time, Zhu Shunshui, who was running around in the imperial capital and wanted to apply for the qualification to run a newspaper, went to Japan to ask for reinforcements in history, which was even more amazing than asking the Holy See in the Vatican to send troops to rescue him.

In his opinion, Japan is simply a colander full of loopholes, and it can be won as long as it exerts its strength, and this is not just a matter of those samurai gradually falling behind.

Maybe other people are very wary of Japan, but in Li Xiangqian's view, Japan is too weak, and the samurai class has not perished in the age of firearms, and thanks to the good geographical location, the generals of several generations of the shogunate have been hollowed out, that is, the shogunate first overthrew the emperor above, and then the family elders overthrew the generals, and the family elders were also overshadowed by the daimyo, samurai and Osaka merchants......

Coincidentally, the upper strata of Japan are still known for their conservatism and greed, and even in the era of blazing fire, they are stubbornly unwilling to give up a little interest to the lower strata, and even drive them to occupy the interests of Manchukuo.

In later generations, the Japanese could easily abandon their mothers who were injured during the earthquake, and the women in Minato City, who would make any Chinese feel strange, also gave a thumbs up.

Anyway, in his opinion, it is impossible to expect the Japanese to unite against the rule of the Presbyterian Church, the national character is there, he only needs to set a good price and get it little by little.

"So, your country wants to send troops as well? In fact, by this time, we should have occupied most of Batavia, and if your country strikes again, we will not be able to kill many Dutchmen, and they are all in the prisoner camps. ”

Akagi Tsuyoshi seemed to be very excited, and said: "These southerners, with bad intentions, send missionaries from merchant ships to infiltrate our country every year to crusade against them, which is also a lesson. ”

"I told you earlier, people are from your south, but they are definitely not southerners, your geography, um, as far as I know, there are still some businessmen in Japan, not so short-sighted, just staring at their own one-third of an acre, I agree with this, the earth is so big, and it shouldn't be occupied by those foreigners, Akagi, you are not young, don't want to think about it, in the east of your south, there is land everywhere that is larger and richer than Japan's land area, don't you want to be a governor, some people say, I have been the governor of Luzon for ten years, and I don't do it for an emperor. ”

Akagi Gangxian naturally didn't dare to say much, he was just a wage earner.

"Please bother."

"Come on, no matter how good the scriptures are, when they come to your old hands, you have to read crookedly, you also have international students in the imperial capital, and the corresponding textbooks are also sold to Japan in large quantities, which I don't know, I found out at a glance that Japan's education system and cultural characteristics are very problematic, and this is not something that can be solved overnight, eh...... Let's put it this way, even if I give you a piece of land, you can't do a good job in the economy, Akagi, not to mention anything else, most people have the mentality of state-owned enterprises. ”

Akagi seemed flattered and said, "Please advise." ”

"Starting from the ashigaru, to what ashigaru, ashigaru general, serving general, and general, this level of climbing up, how hard is the process? But what, how much development and creation? Who are all the resources going to? Not to mention anything else, the few hired Japanese instructors in the military academy may not be worse than you, but they don't get the opportunity, you waste a lot of talents, and the little samurai's home has a big stone in addition to the quilt and pot, because when he feels cold, he can lift a stone to keep warm. ”

Of course, it was a joke, and Akagi could only smile awkwardly.

"Well, in fact, the separation of soldiers and peasants is a good system, and the samurai concentrate on fighting, but one of the problems caused by it is the isolation ......"

Li Xiangqian thought about the future generations, the segregation between countries became more and more serious, whether it was the United States, across the street, on the left is a lively middle-class community, and on the right is a pot of gangsters and hooligans.

This system was actually very advanced at the beginning, but it is not advanced in this era.

"So the problem now is that I carve out a piece of land and let you send troops and peasants, I'm afraid that in the end, it won't bring you much benefit, the system problem here is very complicated, I guess I have to read a lot of books, but I can explain it clearly with just one thing, for many ordinary Japanese people, including the lowest samurai, they can't share any dividends."

Akagi Gangxian is listening, the most popular knowledge at present is the knowledge of the imperial capital, but for ordinary people, those complicated documents are too difficult to understand.

He sighed and said, "Command." ”

"Japan is too small and has too many people, you know, the growth rate of land can never match the growth rate of population, and this is difficult, isn't it, so I support your emigration, so that in terms of system, you can be treated the same as Chinese farmers."

Akagi was also satisfied, but immediately asked, "But the samurai ......?"

"This is an afterthought, I have a few plans, you can follow the piecework salary, go to the flow, you can also follow the merit, of course, I doubt it, there are a few people who really have the ability to care about this, you should have read what we sent in the past, Pizarro and the conquest of the Inca Empire, of course, I suspect that a lot of words have been misinterpreted, your Japanese, simply cancel it sincerely, uh, 168 people, and the country of tens of millions of people was defeated, although it was due to other people's civil strife, plus other factors such as the mediocrity of the lord of the country, But you have to admit that there are also people who dare to fight, although afterwards, more than 100 people basically died, but they did it themselves, what do you think of this? ”

Any man, when he sees his own kind, carries a bright knife, crushes his enemies, obtains the honor and wealth that a man can obtain, returns to his hometown with his head held high, boasts of his exploits in front of his lover and family, and shows his mountain of gold and silver treasures.

You'll be envious,

You'll be envious.

Akagi Gangxian felt that his breathing was also getting heavier, and under the encouragement of Li Xiangqian, he was also a person who had seen the world map, and knew that Japan was just a corner of the world, and the elder in front of him said to himself very sincerely that China had no territorial ambitions for Japan, because he couldn't look down on it.

But how can a man not have a dream of conquering the world.

"We, the younger generations, can't influence the old people, who don't seem to have that much motivation to go out of the country and fight for land for us yellow and white people."

"Because of the institutional relationship, if you think about it, if you send troops overseas, there are fewer people, it is the one who delivers food, don't treat those natives as free gifts, they are all human beings, and the combat effectiveness of others is not low, to tell the truth, you can be killed by using human lives, no matter how powerful your katana is, a hundred people come and fight hard, can you withstand it? And the early investment, the later income, are all big problems, the biggest problem is, if the shogunate sends troops, too much, I am afraid that it will affect the political stability, isn't it, if the daimyo from all over the country send troops, are they not afraid that they will take the opportunity to develop, so, if Japan wants to become really strong, how can it be done without reform, reform. ”

Li Xiangqian found that for these young people in Japan who have seen the truth after the great discovery of world geography, the effect of blindly tempting with money and interests is not very good, but it is to agitate, and as soon as all kinds of lofty words come out, their blood will boil.

Why else does everyone like young people?

Akagi Gangxian was a little surprised: "Do you support Japan's efforts to go out and become stronger?" ”

"Back then, Mr. Toyotomi Hideyoshi wanted to conquer China, but the purpose was also very normal, there are still some talents in Japan that I recognize, but why do you have to grab food in China, but this has to be understood, where was the real failure of Toyotomi Hideyoshi back then? North Korean? That's how their combat power is, Da Ming? The Ming Dynasty only used less than one-tenth of its true strength, the real reason is because under the Japanese system, the system of dividing the feudal domains, in China 2000 years ago, the reason is very simple, can not mobilize enough resources, you have to think about it yourself, what is the most beneficial system for Japan. ”

Li Xiangqian found that for these young people, it is a little difficult to learn those vast documents because they are too speculative, or too basic to analyze the data, but it is very easy to directly blame the system for all problems.

The Japanese issue is still very smooth, a large number of printed materials from the imperial capital, mixed with fashion magazines that prostitutes like to study, beautiful women that idlers like to read, and all-encompassing knowledge that real literate people come into contact with.

In this process, it was too late to translate into Japanese, so they were directly reading these simple simplified characters, which also indirectly promoted the development of simplified characters in Japan.

In Li Xiangqian's view, writing itself is an economic problem, and a slightly smaller economy cannot afford to translate overseas cultural products and scientific and technological materials, and cannot feed so many people.

The cultural offensive against Japan is faster than everyone imagined, and the root of Japanese culture is the barrenness of resources, which has led to the derivation of a system that concentrates resources on a small number of people.

In the end, Li Xiangqian signed an "outsourcing agreement" with the shogunate, represented by Akagi Tsuyoken, not Japan.

The agreement stipulated that the shogunate would take the lead in forming a small force to help the Council of Elders clear the islands of the South Seas, and that the samurai would remain in the South Seas as a force of the Council of Elders afterwards.

These guys are basically ronins or lower-class samurai who can't eat, or superfluous sons in the family, poor people who can't get the title of samurai.

Nanyang is a big place and there are many opportunities, and everyone knows this.

The current situation was chaotic and promising for the shogunate, and although the chaos brought about by the elders made everyone a little excited, it was not a bad thing.

But in terms of the shogunate's system, there are really some that can't catch up with the heat, compared to the troops that can be mobilized at any time, and the Eighth Route Army, after a single-handed figure has developed tens of thousands of guerrillas, the central government can move them to other places when he says a word, and the commander who has parachuted in can immediately order and prohibit it, which is very powerful.

This is almost an inevitable point of the modern system, and a little stronger organization is the most basic requirement, but for the shogunate, it is almost impossible, of course, most of the regimes of this era are virtuous.

It is naturally difficult to organize a group of people, but it is also very obvious to get a group of original unstable factors out to make a fortune, and Li Xiangqian is still very willing to lose his money.

Li Xiangqian is naturally satisfied with being able to catch a group of Japanese talents with action, waking up Japan is not terrible at all, an obedient Japan is a very good source of wealth and labor, Li Xiangqian has the impression that the old Japanese can even work until the age of 60 or 70, these docile and irritable people, as long as they are well controlled, are still very suitable.

The shogunate, which is too rotten institution, is indeed inferior to a few feudal clans in terms of introducing new Chinese technologies, especially those guys who make Li Xiangqian raise his eyebrows, which is why he first contacted the shogunate, the shogunate is steady, so to speak, has common interests with China, but the guys of these southwestern feudal clans are really problematic, and the historical invasion of China is the descendants of these guys who have fallen to the shogunate.

Of course, this is not the future generations, after the prosperity of Lanxue, a large number of talents have been cultivated, and the situation of the southwestern feudal domains in Japan, which is full of talents, is also very simple, whether it is the "Nanren", that is, the Europeans, or the new knowledge of the imperial capital, it is necessary to pass through their territory and then to the shogunate, which itself is a hand, and naturally the response is faster.
