After helping Shanyu refine his "Report on Observation in Japan", Goxinga returned to Changchun with Shanyu in order to persuade the cabinet to agree to war against Japan as soon as possible. Although Pi Runmin and others were convinced, the war against Japan could not be fought for a while, and the reason was still the same, the government was currently spending a lot of money, and there was not enough money to fight Japan. Of course, there is a small problem, North Manchuria has no excuse for war against Japan.

In the era of imperialism, although in fact it is possible to beat you up because you are not happy, you still need some excuses to save face. Guo Xing'a didn't need to explain to the country, no matter who he said he would beat, the people of North Manchu would cheer. However, in the international community, Guoxinga has made up a decent excuse, and Britain and France have a lot of interests in Japan, and if Guoxinga does not even make up an excuse, Britain and France will definitely find trouble in North Manchuria. The international community is like this, the major powers are all crazy about peacemaking, and no matter what happens in the international community, they must make peace. When Guo Xing'a scolded and scolded Britain and France for being nosy, North Manchurian was also blindly mixing around the world.

After the matter of the war was left, the eight years of Tongzhi were even left behind. To paraphrase a sentence in the summary of the work of the Pi Runmin government, the eight years of Tongzhi is a year of harvest, and after eight years of lying on the salary in North Manchuria, a guy took out all the money he had accumulated, and he really made a splash. In the north, North Manchuria harvested the whole of Eastern Siberia, Alaska, the Outer Northeast, and the Kuril Islands, while in the south, Mukden, Korea, Taiwan, Zhoushan, and Panama and Brazil in South America were accounted for. Although Taiwan and Zhoushan have not yet been digested, and Panama and Brazil have not been completely won, it is only a matter of time, and these achievements are enough to make everyone proud.

In the ninth year of Tongzhi, the earth has opened a mode of many disasters and difficulties. Large-scale plague outbreaks in the United States and Latin America are a new type of disease that is highly contagious, has a high morbidity, high mortality rate, and a very low cure rate, and has suddenly created countless ghost towns in the Americas. Affected by this great plague, the American Civil War, which has entered the final stage, has been disrupted again, and only the devil knows exactly when it will be fought. The British also got involved with Argentina in South America, and the British still wanted to do big things with little money, and only sent more than 10,000 troops in total, and the result was naturally a stalemate with Argentina. For the sake of continental hegemony, the two countries are flirting with each other in the surrounding areas, and they have more than one million soldiers on the border between the two sides, ready to have a good time at any time.

The situation in Asia is much better, the Russians are almost epileptic from being pumped by a big mouth in North Manchuria, and they are still licking their wounds, although they have also provoked the Qing Dynasty twice, but they do not dare to make any big moves at all. The Qing Dynasty is still full of happy events, the Twist Army has been destroyed, and Agubo's gang has all stopped cooking, if it weren't for the fact that the transportation problem of the official army has not been solved for the time being, they would have been driven out of the country. North Manchuria is also very quiet in this regard, Guoxinga is still obsessed with women, the army popularized light machine guns, and there is nothing else, it is still the same. The only place that has changed is Taiwan, North Manchurian built a large-scale Kaohsiung port in Taiwan, but in addition to the port, Taiwan is still the same, Taiwan's prefect Zhu Yongqing is still in charge of the island's civil affairs in his prefect.

Japan isn't a staple, but it's not a big deal. After the government army took down Matsudaira Yoho of the Aizu domain, all the northeastern feudal domains were honest, and the government army marched all the way to Hokkaido. Hijikata was also killed, and Goryokaku was also besieged, and the Japanese civil war came to an end. The emperor officially moved to Edo and changed Edo to a very hot Tokyo, and Iwakura Gushi also took people to study Europe for a while, and then returned to Japan to begin a vigorous reform. A very peaceful spring passed, but a small incident occurred in the summer, and the relatively calm East Asia was also drawn into the flames of war.

In Taiwan, which is governed by Zhu Yongqing, there is a group of strange people, they have very poor Chinese, tattoos on their faces, they like to kill, and they are simple and cute, even if they are Gaoshan people who live in the mountains. The Gaoshan tribe is a general term given to these people in later generations, and it is not a nation, but a relatively close race. The Gaoshan tribe is divided into hundreds of small tribes, all of which are in the stage of primitive society, and the language is not uniform, which is very similar to the situation of the North American Indians. However, at this time, there was no title of the Gaoshan tribe, and the Qing Dynasty regarded them as Fan people, and those who were good at Chinese were called familiar fans, and those who did not know Chinese were called raw fans.

Wang Dan, who presided over the construction of Kaohsiung Port, studied under Yu Wendao, a master architect from North Manchuria, but at the same time he was also a travel enthusiast. During the free period of port construction, Wang Dan went to Fanren's territory to wander around, and made a lot of friends, and he even knew several of them. Wang Dan's evaluation of Fanren is very prepared: "His generation is brave and belligerent, simple and enthusiastic, but the generation of friends must be regarded as a confidant in life, accept each other, and hate to give everything he has." However, its customs are barbaric, and those who trespass on it will be slaughtered, and no one will enter! ”。

In the summer of the ninth year of Tongzhi, a group of unlucky people broke into Fanren's territory without the guidance of acquaintances. These people speak Chinese well, and if they can explain it clearly, they may have a chance to escape with their lives, but unfortunately what they met was Shengfan, and they didn't understand a word of Chinese, so they had no chance to explain.

These unlucky people were Ryukyu people, and the purpose of their trip was to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty, and everything was going well, but on the way back, they encountered a typhoon. The typhoon blew the wooden-hulled ship, and naturally it didn't matter where it went, and there was no fixed direction at all, so these unlucky guys were blown to Taiwan. Three were drowned in the sea, and the remaining sixty or so had to go deeper into the land in order to seek help from the locals. After walking for two days, they came to the door of a village called the Peony Society, where thousands of people gathered to perform some kind of ritual to honor the gods, and everything seemed so good. It's a pity that what they met was not Han Chinese, but shengfan, and the ceremony held by the villagers was a ceremony of grass.

Out of the grass is another name for the custom of giving birth to the head of the hunter, that is, the act of cutting off the head of the enemy, and the Atayal language is called "mgaya" "mgaya". This kind of behavior also exists among ethnic minorities on all continents, and many Austronesian ethnic groups who are closely related to Taiwan's ethnic minorities also have such customs. In fact, the custom of head-hunting has complex motives, some hunt heads for revenge, some hunt heads for blessings, or hunt heads for the sake of showing their bravery. Not all ethnic minorities in Taiwan have such customs, but the gang encountered by the Ryukyuan people has such a custom, and they come out of the grass to pray for blessings.

Then the process is very weird.,Friends who are dancing in the village god.,Suddenly found that there was such a group of soup chickens at the entrance of the village.,For a moment, I thought it was the ancestor who appeared.。 It's a complicated process because they're not going to kill the condemned prisoners, they're hunting other people's heads, which aren't so easy to get. Now, as soon as the ceremony of praying for the blessings of the ancestors ended, a group of people came to the door, and of course the students were very happy.

The Ryukyu chickens were also very happy, and they found that the villagers were smiling and singing and dancing when they saw them, as if they were very welcoming to them, and naturally thought that they were saved. Especially when they saw many women running out with clothes and food, they were even more moved, the people of the primitive tribe are simple! Unfortunately, they didn't know that this food was not their last supper, but a feast for their warriors.

After both sides smirked for a while, they both pounced on the Ryukyuan people with smiles, and the Ryukyuan people wanted to give each other a hug to express their gratitude, and Ikuban aimed his hunting knife at the neck of the Ryukyuan people. After one photo, thirty of the Ryukyuan people lay down, and they were really defenseless. The rest of the survivors are just stupid, and now they know that they have run away, and these people are completely a group of begging ghosts!

The ghost cried wolf howled in the mountains for a while, and the grass finally had a bit of hunting meaning, and you chased me in the mountains and forests on both sides. Of course, the Ryukyuan people are crying fathers and mothers, they didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, so they put on such a thing, it was really eight lifetimes of blood mold. Their life in the Ryukyus is not particularly good, and the amount of exercise is okay, but there is no way to compare with these students, and the terrain is familiar! So after the chase entered the second half, the Ryukyuan people were caught up one after another, and then the heads were harvested by Shengfan.

The last twelve lucky ones gathered in a river valley, and they couldn't run anymore, and they didn't know where they could live, so they were ready to make a last-ditch effort. Of course, they don't believe that they can defeat Shengban and escape, and the purpose of the last fight is nothing more than to pull a cushion on their backs before they die. There are also some brave people among them, and they have tried to counterattack before, but all of them are teamwork, and the tactical coordination is very skillful, and it is easy to get these Ryukyu warriors. Looking at the hundreds of people approaching on the opposite side, the last dozen or so Ryukyuan people could only cry and lament their fate.

"You're out of your territory, go back!" Suddenly, a very, very righteous voice came from the nearby high ground, and Zhu Yongqing, dressed in a robe, descended like a savior.

As soon as the shipwrecked Ryukyu docked, some local Han residents found it and reported it to the officials, but by the time the government sent people to arrive, these confused Ryukyuan people had already run into the mountains. The local errand officer didn't have to guess to know that these confused shipwreck survivors must have crashed into Shengban's territory. Ordinary servants can't stop those who kill people when they see them, so they immediately reported it to Lord Futai, who was patrolling the neighborhood. Zhu Yongqing received the report and knew that there were not a few people left in this gang, but he couldn't let all the Ryukyu envoys die in Taiwan, so he still ran to the mountains to see if he could fish out the two survivors.

After the translation brought by Zhu Yongqing and the shengfan, the shengfan retreated very obediently, their ceremony of getting out of the grass was very sacred, but it was indeed their fault to cross the line, so they were very cooperative. This matter is over here, no matter how unjustly the Ryukyuan people die, there is no way to hold Shengban responsible, so after Zhu Yongqing comforted the twelve survivors with kind words, he sent someone to send them back to Ryukyu.

Zhu Yongqing, the matter is understood, and the Ryukyuan people can only consider themselves unlucky, but the Japanese are very energetic about this matter, they can't afford to provoke Guoxing, but they really want to find Daqing to test the water.
