854 Three Great Artifacts

The Qing government is also destined now, and the Xinhai Revolution broke out in another time and space in 1911, and it will be decades later according to the current time.

Because of the coincidence of chance, the Qing government in this time and space has not yet suffered a series of humiliations such as the First Sino-Japanese War and the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it is estimated that there will be no more in the future, and the landlord class of the Qing State has not been completely disappointed in the Qing government, so Lei Haobo's rebellion is also thunderous and rainy, and it seems that there are many supporters, but no one responds, it will not cause an avalanche, and the threat to the Qing government is still limited.

Li Mu also did not expect Lei Haobo to overthrow the rule of the Qing government, although Lei Haobo has now raised the anti-flag, but in his bones, Lei Haobo's line is still inseparable from the scope of peasant uprisings, and without the participation of the Qing elite, it is difficult for Lei Haobo to completely overthrow the rule of the Qing government.

Li Mu pinned his hopes on the next generation of Chinese Americans in the United States, and now more than 10,000 Chinese Americans are receiving the most advanced education in the world at the Junma Affiliated School and Springfield Institute of Technology, even if only one percent of the students are nostalgic for their homeland, and after they have achieved their studies, they are willing to return to the Qing Empire to work hard to overthrow the Qing government, and the impact is much greater than that of Lei Haobo now.

After the first Opium War, the British forced the Qing government to obtain consular jurisdiction from the Qing Empire, which is equivalent to directly giving all foreigners extrajudicial privileges in the Qing Empire, no matter what foreigners did in the Qing Empire, the Qing Empire has no right to judge, and of course the same is true for those Chinese in the United States, they all have American nationality and belong to the scope of consular jurisdiction.

Although he didn't have much hope for Lei Haobo, Li Mu still met most of Lei Haobo's requirements.

In fact, Lei Haobo didn't ask for much, more weapons assistance, more professional instructors, Lei Haobo also wanted to directly hire professional mercenaries from the Far East Company, but Li Mu did not agree to this request, the identity of the mercenaries is still a bit special, if Li Mu agrees to Lei Haobo's request, it is equivalent to turning his face directly with the Qing government, and the Qing government will refuse to enter all companies related to the Junma Group, including the Pacific Company, this loss is something Li Mu cannot afford.

Li Mu now has to rely on the Pacific Company to immigrate from the Qing Empire, although it is very convenient to immigrate from the Qing Dynasty to Vladivostok, but the immigration to the United States can not be relaxed, relatively speaking, the Chinese in the United States are still too few, Li Mu hopes that the Chinese will reach at least 10% of the total population of the United States in the future, so that the Chinese can have enough right to speak.

At the end of February, the War Department finally agreed to George Dewey's request for additional funds, and the first batch of $1.5 million has been used to invest in a series of factories in Vladivostok to produce various building materials to prepare for the construction of a military port, and the first additional funds of the War Department are $2.5 million for leasing the land around Wakkanachi Port from the Japanese shogunate. Instead, they agreed to lease the land around Wakkanai Port to the U.S. government on a lease-lease basis.

Of course, compared with direct purchase, the current lease price is still relatively cheap, the US government is at a price of 15,000 US dollars per year for a hundred years, after the expiration of the US government as long as the US government agrees, the US government can continue to lease, then the lease fee can be negotiable.

The price of 15,000 US dollars per year is not cheap or expensive, if you refer to the British forcibly leased Hong Kong of the Qing Empire, this price is of course expensive, after all, the British are nominally leased, but they did not give even a penny to the Qing Empire, the United States This 15,000 US dollars a year is real money, this money Li Mu did not withhold, but all transferred to the Tokugawa shogunate, it was regarded as Li Mu's reward for Shikoku Island to Tokugawa Liyan.

Yes, Li Mu took the time to go to Shikoku Island, the current Shikoku Island is Li Mu's private territory, there is only one manor on the island except for a resort, and the rest is all abandoned, it seems that Bai Qi wants to run this place into a huge wildlife park, and if Li Mu has hunting needs in the future, he can have enough fun on Shikoku Island.

"Shikoku Island covers an area of nearly 18,000 square kilometers, and there used to be nearly 400,000 Japanese on the island, and now all of these people have moved to Kyushu and Honshu, and now there are less than 1,000 people on the island, in addition to some of the staff, there are some mercenaries from Far East companies on vacation, and some of the brothers who first came to Ryukyu with me have also made their homes on Shikoku Island, and the scenery here is still very good, and the people are also very good, many Japanese girls are willing to work on the island, and many of our brothers want to settle down here." Li Mu came to Shikoku Island, of course, Bai Qi accompanied him throughout the whole process, and Bai Qi's life in the past two years was very comfortable, and even his brothers also enjoyed happiness.

The character of the Japanese is like this, the treatment of the strong is absolutely 100% obedient, Bai Qi's subordinates are basically American nationality, don't live too freely in Japan, if there is still some merit in the country of Japan, it is probably that Japanese women are extremely gentle, and can satisfy men's machismo to the greatest extent.

Of course, this point is still unknown to the world, Bai Qi's subordinates are close to the water and get the moon first, if Bai Qi is not restricted, it is estimated that all of them are three wives and four concubines.

"I heard that you have asked for Mrs. Ru again, you are not good enough to set an example." Li Mu was just joking, and he didn't envy it, it was enough to have Gloria and Chu Xue, and Li Mu didn't plan to go home to collect people.

In fact, it is not only the Qing Dynasty, including the United States, now polygamy is not unavailable, although the US government does not approve of polygamy, but there is no opposition, after all, many situations in immigration countries are complicated, and everything cannot be one-size-fits-all.

In another time and space, it was Arthur who officially signed a decree against polygamy, and it was only an opposition, not a ban, and the United States did not completely ban polygamy in the 21st century, nor did it say "bigamy", and the media often exposed that polygamous families in the United States, including feminists, were only morally condemned most of the time, and there was no way to eliminate them legally.

"Haha, Lao Pan just accepted an eighteen-year-old girl last month, and that is a pear blossom pressed begonia." Bai Qi is not ashamed, anyway, there is Pan Tingzhen, a more shameless guy, Bai Qi is not worth mentioning.

This era is indeed a man's paradise, it is normal for a man with the ability to have three wives and four concubines, Gu Hongming's "teapot theory" really reflects the social status between men and women in this era, don't look at Gu Hongming threw out the "teapot theory" when the Western society was in an uproar, in fact, Westerners are more excessive in this regard, and more casual, look at those ancient Western aristocrats, even including royalty, if there are only three or two lovers, it can be called clean and self-conscious.

"Hehe, go back and send me two tiger whips to Lao Pan." Li Mu didn't care, Chaplin could still have children when he was seventy years old, which is also a beautiful talk.

To say that one of the biggest benefits of this year, should be the abundance of wild animals, Li Mu in Vladivostok, Chen Guofang sent Li Mu a lot of nourishing products every three or five days, tiger whip, wild ginseng, monkey head or something is simply everything, Li Mu tried to state the concept of wildlife protection to Chen Guofang, but could not get any resonance with Chen Guofang, Li Mu had read a book that reflected the life of the Oroqen people, which described the abundance of wild animals with "sticks to beat roe deer scoop fish, pheasants fly to the rice pot" to describe, Vladivostok's wildlife flooding is more excessive than this, the most intuitive embodiment, if the hunter of Vladivostok kills a tiger, then except for the tiger skin and tiger whip, the rest of the part is nothing, not to mention any tiger bone wine, people use wild ginseng to make wine, the effect is much better than tiger bones.

"Yes, yes, when I was a concubine, I gave a bag of red dates, peanuts, longan, and chestnuts." Bai Qi is also uneasy and kind, this is the meaning of giving birth to a noble son early, but I don't know if Pan Tingzhen is okay.

Li Mu's manor is actually Kochi Castle on Shikoku Island in the past, there were originally many Japanese classical buildings in the city, but unfortunately it was all demolished by Bai Qi later, replaced by a huge manor, there is a castle-like building in the center of the manor as the main residence of the manor, on the surface, there are no buildings related to Japan here, this is also Li Mu's instructions, so as not to find trouble for the Japanese government in the future.

"It is indeed a pity that those ancient buildings have been demolished, but they must be demolished, and keeping those buildings is tantamount to leaving hidden dangers for the future, and we must erase any traces of the Japanese on the island, and not give the Japanese government a chance to see things and think about things, so that even if the Japanese want to ask for it in the future, they will not be able to open their mouths." As a result, the Japanese in the 21 st century protested at the gate of the US military base every day, and if it were not supported by the Japanese government, this kind of protest would not have been organized at all, and the Japanese government just had no choice but to speak, so it was only with the help of public opinion that it wanted to achieve its goal.

No matter how you look at it, it is a very humiliating thing to have the troops of other countries stationed on the territory of your own country, and it would be a very humiliating thing for Japan to be surrounded by strong enemies, but it would be fine if Japan was surrounded by strong enemies, but during the Cold War, Japan's national strength rose and began to seek to improve its international status, and at this time Japan very much wanted to get rid of the clamp of the United States, but it was a pity that the United States was also a philanthropist and would not give up Japan easily, so the Japanese government could only make a small fuss, even if it could not drive out the Americans, it had to show its attitude.

is still a small country and a widow, and what he does from head to toe exudes a small family spirit.

"Dare, Shikoku Island was bought by us with real money, don't even think about it." Bai Qi has no worries about this, and Tokugawa Liyan behaves better than Bai Qi's son in front of Bai Qi, and no matter how you look at it, he doesn't have the courage to settle old accounts.

Walking into the castle, Bai Qi is more embarrassed by the various treasures collected in Japan.

Don't look at the fact that the Japanese emperor was poor and couldn't afford to eat, there are still some treasures, such as the three most famous artifacts in Japan, which have now become Li Mu's private collection.

The three major Japanese artifacts refer to the Tencong Cloud Sword, which is also known as the Kusanagi Sword, as well as the eight-foot Qiongyu and the Eight Mirrors.

These three artifacts are said to have been used as tokens of the Japanese Imperial Family for 2,000 years.

After Tokugawa Liyan overthrew the emperor's rule, in order to avoid future troubles, Tokugawa Liyan killed the emperor's family cleanly, and the three major artifacts were not worthy of the name.

Tokugawa Liyan is not stupid, the emperor is gone, keeping the three major artifacts is a standard scourge, maybe when it will become the amulet of Tokugawa Liyan, in order to avoid future troubles, Tokugawa Liyan gave the three major artifacts to Bai Qi, at least Bai Qi will not regard this as a royal token, if Bai Qi is interested in the emperor's position, Bai Qi would have acted a long time ago.

"The three major artifacts, aren't they lost?" Li Mu still couldn't help but be curious, if these things were true, Li Mu would send them to the Horse Museum, build a special exhibition room and charge a separate fee, and the price should be set high, specifically to make Japanese money.

"What you say is true is true, and what you say is fake is fake." Bai Qi is an understatement, in fact, the three major artifacts are really a bit unworthy of the name, the so-called Tiancong Cloud Sword is an iron sword, it is said that it was imitated later, the eight-foot Qiong Hook is an ornament, the appearance is similar to the traditional Chinese tent hook, the eight-foot mirror is an ordinary bronze mirror, and it has broken several petals, but in terms of appearance, it is almost the same as the stall in the City God Temple in any city in the Republic of China in the 21st century.

To be honest, Li Mu is not very interested in the "three major artifacts", in Li Mu's opinion, these three things together are not as real as the golden seal of the king of the Han Dynasty, at least the golden seal of the king of the Han Dynasty is not a legendary myth, whether it is historical value or artistic value, it is more attractive than the so-called "three major artifacts".

The Golden Seal of King Hanweinu was discovered in 1784 by a farmer in Fukuoka while digging a ditch, and after that, it was donated to the Fukuoka City Museum in 1979 by the descendants of a family.

The fate of the golden seal of the king of Hanweinu in this time and space was not so bumpy, and Bai Qi didn't know how he found this golden seal, so he brought the golden seal back to Shikoku Island and put it together with the three major artifacts as decorations for the castle.

"These things are wasted here, and they will all be sent to the Horse Museum when they are returned, and they must play a role." Li Mu was a little regretful, Japan in this time and space did not launch the Sino-Japanese War, nor did it have an eight-year war of resistance, so there are not many cultural relics in Japan, and even fewer are related to the Chinese.

This is also a good thing, which shows that the Chinese have not experienced so many tribulations in another time and space, which is the greatest blessing.
