Chapter 82: The Warlord Candidate

Funakoshi Yoshizhen secretly hated in her heart, but she was very kind on the surface, and immediately thought of a clever trick, so she said more gently, "Kiyoko, is the sister of the Marquis of Nakagi Palace, and the goddaughter of Prince Changzinai, if you count the generation, she is also the same as His Majesty the Emperor."

"Therefore, the marriage of the lord of Kiyoko should be decided by His Majesty the Emperor", looking at the increasingly pale face of Tsuchihara, Funakoshi was secretly proud in his heart, he himself was a Japanese golden samurai, he could rely on the old and sell the old, and talk about the private affairs of the Japanese royal family, but Tsuchihara couldn't.

After all, the emperor is the supreme commander of the Japanese army, and any Japanese soldier or a Japanese general is his subordinate according to convention, so if Dohihara still wants to mix in the Japanese military circles, the emperor's family affairs have always been taboo for the Japanese army to talk about.

Seeing the proud Funakoshi, Tu Feiyuan's heart was also on fire, and he secretly gritted his teeth and wanted to retaliate, but he looked timid on the surface, and finally when Funakoshi was the most proud, he let out a sneer, and said with some irony, "Master Funakoshi, let's study the martial arts well, as for the marriage of the lord of Qingzi, it is still for us worldly people to deal with it."

A self-righteous old stubborn, Kenji Dohihara really wants to spit, what the hell, since Kiyoko is the emperor's godfather and married to a Chinese, it is a political event in Japan, where is a reckless person who can intervene, and wants to marry the outdated Tokugawa family, do you think that the Japanese Empire is full of pigs, so easy for you to succeed.

Ignoring the declining Master Funakoshi, Tu Feiyuan looked at Liu Yun with a smile, well, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, Yo Xi, it was very good, an excellent Chinese talent, he actually wanted to marry a Japanese aristocratic woman, hum, once he got on the boat, he didn't want to cooperate with the Japanese Empire, if those people in Nanjing were stupid enough to kill him, he didn't even need to say thank you.

Tu Feiyuan suddenly remembered Liu Yun's background, it seems that he is the nephew of Liu Wenhui, the warlord of Xikang, and now he has no boundary with Western Sichuan County, so why should this guy spend his own money to buy special steelmaking equipment, and why do he want to marry Japanese nobles now, his heart moved, hum, what a great man, what kind of warlord does he want to be in Western Sichuan.

Although he was already seventy or eighty percent sure, Tu Feiyuan also decided to test it again, so he said very hypocritically, "Liu Yunjun, your vision is very good, Lord Qingzi, but the national treasure of our Great Japanese Empire, gentle and graceful, there are many suitors, you can line up from Tokyo to Nanjing, your love is the best witness of Sino-Japanese friendship, rest assured, I will definitely present to Your Majesty and ask him to approve your marriage."

Liu Yun also looked surprised, and he didn't care about Funakoshi's murderous eyes, and directly pulled Qingzi, who was secretly sad and weeping, and asked her to sit down beside him, and then he pretended to look at Tu Feiyuan calmly, and the joy between his eyebrows couldn't be concealed.

Still too young, as soon as he saw the benefits, he really didn't care about anything, Yo Xi, Tu Feiyuan was very relieved, pretending to suddenly remember something, and said in surprise, "Liu Yunjun, I forgot one thing, we Japanese nobles, for marriage, but there is a very strict set of etiquette procedures, well, all of them are learned from the ancient rites of China, to ask the name of Nacai, it is very troublesome, it will take more than half a year before and after, and the emperor's illness can not be delayed."

Liu Yun looked at Qingzi beside him with a smile, looking like a beauty in her hand, I have the world, and I don't care about anything else, for someone's doubts, he waved his hand and said happily, "Tufeiyuanjun, no problem, Your Majesty's business is my business, uh-".

Liu Yun suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then seemed to be a diplomat, and began to speak to Tu Feiyuan in diplomatic terms, that is, his voice was full of greed, "As soon as the steelmaking equipment is transported to West Sichuan County, I will take the elixir as a symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship and personally send it to His Majesty the Emperor, but now I can't."

Oh, I still underestimate this guy, Tu Feiyuan was almost laughing, he couldn't hold back his laughter, pretended to be very hurt, and said with a look of regret and sadness, "Liu Yunjun, you just don't believe in people too much, we in Japan have always advocated peace and friendship, if you give the elixir to Your Majesty, maybe as soon as Your Majesty is happy, you will directly promote the county lord of Qingzi to the imperial sister, and you will be Prince Qingzi in the future, and you are also the royal prince of Japan."

"Prince Nei, can you eat", Liu Yun rolled his eyes, Lao Tzu is a dignified Chinese, being a Japanese prince, it is useful to have hair, it is difficult to go to Japan to be a warlord, not to mention far away, just say Yuan Qier, or the prince of double material, what's the use.

Tu Feiyuan's nose was crooked, "Prince Nei can eat", you are a pig, you know how to eat, I thought about it in a blink of an eye, I understood, what kind of aristocratic descendants this guy boasted of, in fact, he didn't know the benefits of Prince Nei, so he explained with a smile, "Liu Yunjun, as long as you become Prince Nei's husband, the warlord plan you dream of will be realized quickly."

"What", Liu Yun was shocked for a while, but quickly returned to normal, staring at Tu Feiyuan viciously, and said with a little weakness, "What a big plan, what does it mean."

Tu Feiyuan suddenly had a sense of achievement, what a good young man, so quickly became a candidate for the warlord of China, according to Huaxia, "there are guns and food, and he is the king of grass", yes, the Chinese people of this era are like this, always be heroes first, and then be warlords, once they become warlords, they are the emperors of an independent kingdom, and they can do whatever they want.

Tsuchihihara smiled like a devil, and Akakago tempted the young warlord, "According to the regulations of Great Japan, nobles can have retainers, a marquis, you can have their own arms, think about it, if Kiyoko becomes the inner prince, you can have a large army of Japanese samurai, well, there are many Japanese experts, you can-".

Everyone understands people, and there are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, Liu Yun was really moved, as if he asked very casually, "That, if Qingzi marries me now, how many samurai and experts can he have, well, I mean the kind that is only loyal to Qingzi."

Tu Feiyuan sneered in his heart, on the surface he was thinking hard, as if he was really estimating something, and just when Qingzi wanted to speak again, he said in surprise, "Liu Yunjun, according to the status of the county lord of Qingzi, it should be equipped with twelve private samurai, of course, it can also be twelve experts, these people can be selected from the active military in Japan, and the experts are the same."

"It's only twelve, what can you do", Liu Yun seemed a little disappointed.

"Well, at present, in Japan, many people believe that the number of private samurai of the nobility is still too much, which is very detrimental to social stability, and should be further reduced."

Tu Feiyuan seemed to be greatly insulted, and said with raised eyebrows, "Liu Yunjun, don't be too little, these twelve samurai will all be the personal samurai of the county lord of Qingzi, they will only listen to Qingzi and your orders in the future, and even His Majesty the Emperor cannot give direct orders, and even when there is a conflict between the two, these samurai will desperately defend your interests."

"Oh, I don't even listen to the emperor's orders", Liu Yun's expression was straight, and he was finally interested, and suddenly thought of a little, and said with some hesitation, "These private samurai don't even listen to the emperor's orders, why should they listen to my orders, well, the number is really too small."

Finally showing the fox's tail, Tsuchihara really hated it, so he had to teach bitterly, "Think about it, not to mention having twelve samurai, even having six, is also a very terrifying thing, these are all active duty soldiers, even officers, you can let them help you train farmers, understand, those 5 cents, after the training of officers, is the army, according to your current financial resources of the United Pharmaceutical Factory, you can have as much as you want."

"As for the control, it is even simpler, in Japan, they are the private property of the aristocracy, once they turn away from their masters, they are not as good as pigs and dogs, besides, if they are taken care of by the master's family, their chances of promotion and fortune are 10,000 times stronger than that of ordinary people."

Kenji Tohihara, who seemed to be a little hot, pulled open his collar and continued to educate the young Chinese warlord, and said with a cruel smile, "If you are still afraid that they will be disobedient, it is better to do it, you can control their families from the beginning, such as wives, children and parents."

Liu Yun is really stupid, I have long heard that Japanese devils are very brutal, but I didn't expect it to be so inhumane, not only ordinary Japanese people, but also cannon fodder for 5 cents, even samurai and experts are just bargaining commodities, and I have long heard that Kenji Dohihara is very bold, and has formed a deep friendship with many Chinese warlords.

As for the active duty officers and experts are used to peddle, it is also understandable, the reason is that after the "Meiji Restoration" in Japan, the status of businessmen and scientists has been greatly improved, and it is generally believed that Japan is divided into, samurai with and without swords, samurai with swords are active soldiers, and samurai without swords are all kinds of experts. It's a pity that the so-called status improvement is just a gimmick, that is, it can sell these samurai and experts at a higher price.

As for what Japanese nobles can marry, they can get a number of samurai and the like, just listen to it as a joke, or say that the honor guard is more appropriate, Liu Yun thought about it, the main thing is the quantity, ten or eight Japanese active duty officers, become someone's personal samurai, I'm afraid it's true, as for the common people who can train 5 cents into soldiers, I'm afraid it's also true.

However, even a dozen or so German officers on active duty will not be able to pull a division of troops within a year and a half, and according to the most optimistic estimates, it is already remarkable that each officer on active duty can train one or two hundred soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is worrying, and they have a hard fight with the bandits.

Twelve active-duty officers, can effectively control more than 1,000 soldiers, is already the limit, Liu Yun smiled a little bitterly, unless you can set up a Whampoa Military Academy like Lao Jiang, it is possible to continue to obtain qualified officers, and naturally you can continue to expand the size of the army, and then sweep the world.

Twelve Japanese officers who swore allegiance to the death, even if they were junior lieutenants, what could they do to help themselves, Liu Yun was a little distressed, it took a year and a half to be able to form a third-rate army of more than 1,000 people, which is already a miracle, well, it is only a little stronger than the militia army, of course, if you are willing to invest a lot, you can also evolve into the Japanese army in World War II, such an elite force.
