【1122 Transporting Quartermasters】
"No matter what, just know when you meet, change clothes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" President Meng smiled indifferently, after completely solving the North Korean problem, President Meng was in a good mood, and in the future, North Korea will permanently become the province of China.
Thinking of the children in the future, they don't have to watch the play of the stick, listen to the song of the stick, and no longer have to indulge in the plastic surgery girls of the stick, don't mention how cool the cute president is.
"Quick, change clothes for the emperor, emperor, do you want to wear a military uniform?" Princess Katrina Kafu asked, President Moe receives foreign guests, usually wearing military uniforms.
President Meng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Don't, Saigo Takamori is a soldier and has mastered the army, and I am also a soldier, but my age and experience in the war are not as good as him, wearing a military uniform, who does it look like?" Put me in a gown. ”
President Meng has the emperor's dress, which belongs to the style of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
The regular clothes are also known as the winged good crown clothes, that is, the head wears a black yarn folded scarf (also known as the black yarn wing good crown), wearing a plate collar, the sleeves are gradually fattened, the front and back and the shoulders are embroidered with a gold plate dragon pattern, and jade leather boots.
This suit is used for a lot of purposes.
The regular clothes of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were made of yellow silk and embroidered with dragons, Zhai patterns and twelve chapter patterns.
The dragon pattern developed from antiquity to the Ming Dynasty and has undergone countless changes.
In general, the dragon pattern of the pre-Qin period is relatively simple and rough, and most of them have no claws and claws, similar to reptiles.
The dragon patterns of the Qin and Han dynasties are mostly in the shape of beasts, with complete limbs and claws, but no scale armor, and are often painted in a walking shape, giving people an ethereal feeling.
The dragon of the Ming Dynasty has a more complete image, it concentrates the local characteristics of various animals, such as the head of a bull, the body of a snake, the horns of a deer antler, the eyes of a shrimp, the nose of a lion, the mouth of a donkey, the ears of a cat, the claws of an eagle, the tail of a fish, and so on.
It is also very distinctive in the structure and organization of the pattern, in addition to the traditional dragon, cloud dragon, there are also the group dragon, the dragon, the sitting dragon, the rising dragon, the descending dragon and other names.
Emperor Hongwu wore the regular clothes of the emperor in the early Ming Dynasty, the style was simpler than that of the late Ming Dynasty, with black yarn wings and good crowns, yellow Tuanlong narrow-sleeved round-necked robes, and red cross-collared robes.
President Meng's emperor's regular clothes are similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon robe style, but with bright yellow and black as the main colors.
Princess Katrina Kafu gave this dragon robe a yellow and black dragon robe.
As soon as the dragon robe was put on, President Meng's momentum immediately changed.
Especially the boots, President Moe's boots have increased in height, and after wearing the boots, President Moe is on the shoulders of Princess Katrina Kaf.
Princess Katrina Kafu covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, why did you think of wearing a dragon robe today?" ”
"The emperor looks so good in a dragon robe." Lee Tae-hee's eyes lit up and he praised softly.
President Meng smiled, "He's a general, they don't have a military rank." I am a marshal, but this is a military rank in China, and when receiving foreign guests, if they are not soldiers, I wear a military uniform, which is more imposing. But Saigo Takamori is a soldier, so I want to wear a dragon robe, I have the identity of the emperor, so that he, a minister, knows to see the king! Suppressed by prestige. ”
Princess Katrina Kafu smiled lightly, feeling that the emperor had a lot of ideas, but it was also decent.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the Southwest War is more modern than the Downfall War. Saigo didn't want to really rebel, he just wanted the emperor and the parliament to recognize him, and he was fighting with Okubo Ritsu's gang, right? Okubo Ritsu and Ito Hirobumi belonged to the modernist school of the Restoration, and Saigo Takamori belonged to the retro school, and his ideas of the Restoration were reserved, and he was more concerned with the interests of the samurai class. Princess Katrina Kafu smiled: "So, I think Saigo Takamori may also have come to persuade the emperor to let the Chinese army withdraw from Japan." ”
President Meng nodded, he also had this hunch, "This is a troublesome matter, if Saigo Takamori himself doesn't want to fight and wants to surrender to the Japanese government, we have no other reason to interfere." If he's really here for this, what are we going to do? ”
Princess Katrina Kafu shook her head, "I really haven't thought about it, I think this person is very strange, it's like the emperor said it, I don't know what he thinks, he doesn't look like a person with political ambitions, I feel like he started a war, it's just like fighting spirit." If it is only to protect the interests of the samurai class, it can be resolved through negotiation with the government. ”
President Moe frowned, the most important point of the Meiji Restoration was the abolition of feudal prefectures, which saved the whole of Japan from feudal disputes.
Of course, this will make the samurai class in Japan disappear regardless of their status and role.
At that time, the Meiji government was arguing between the "theory of conquest of Korea" and the "theory of internal governance", and the persistence of the conquest of Korea, represented by Saigo Takamori, diverted the anger of the samurai abroad.
Represented by Okubo Ritsu, we insist on internal governance.
Okubo was victorious, and Saigo resigned angrily and returned to his hometown in Satsuma. Then there was the Southwestern War.
Because he was completely at a disadvantage in the political dispute with Okubo, after the Meiji Restoration, the samurai class should be thrown into the dustbin of history, and Saigo did it in the most tragic way.
As a member of the samurai class, Saigo Takamori can even be considered to have chosen to destroy himself to some extent.
Probably for his own political ambitions on the one hand, and for the sake of Japan as a whole on the other.
If you win, let Okubo get out of here, and Saigo Takamori will come by himself!
If they lost, the samurai class disappeared from Japan, and Japan entered the fast lane of modernization.
President Meng gradually understood Saigo Takamori a little.
"Your Majesty the Emperor Hua." Saigo Takamori met President Moe in imperial clothes.
President Meng smiled slightly, "Hurry up and talk about things, no need to engage in red tape." Mr. Takamori Saigo, is there anything going on? ”
"First of all, thank you for being able to see me, Your Majesty the Emperor Hua, I know that the Emperor Hua does not accept outsiders casually." Saigo Takamori bowed deeply to President Moe, "Then I'll say it directly, if the Chinese army and Huaguo are stranded in Japan for me, I hope that the Chinese emperor can withdraw from Japan, and the affairs of the Japanese should be solved by the Japanese themselves." I ask that all Chinese troops be able to withdraw from Nagasaki Castle. ”
"I agree with your idea, but it has nothing to do with you, because Japan has violated the interests of China, and we are now discussing an explanation." President Meng said coldly: "I have a suggestion for you. ”
Saigo Takamori probably guessed that Emperor Hua would refuse him like this, but he didn't expect that Emperor Hua still had a suggestion for himself: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please speak." ”
"You should drive the government forces out of Kyushu Island, and even, you form a new government yourself, otherwise, you are not qualified to talk to me about the problem of Nagasaki Castle, understand?" President Meng smiled.
Saigo Takamori was stunned, "His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts are very direct, huh?" ”
"Hehe, this is the way things are, let's see if your General Saigo has the guts." President Moe narrowed his eyes.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I still think that we Japanese should take care of our Japanese affairs...... "Saigo Takamori continued.
President Meng raised his hand and interrupted Saigo Takamori's words: "Your attitude towards the government army is too weak, since your government is not capable of agreeing to my request, I hope that you can become a person who is qualified to negotiate with me." You should form a new government and take over Kyushu Island in its entirety. If you can't beat it, I can even lend you money and ammunition. With the support of our country, your government army will not be able to defeat you at all. ”
"I haven't thought about it that much." Saigo Takamori is a bit of a circle.
President Meng said indifferently: "I haven't thought about it, I should have thought about it, if you just want to fight and start a war with your government, I think you will be defeated, as one of the initiators of the Japanese Restoration, you will not be so ignorant politically, right?" It is impossible for an army to succeed without political leadership, and you should be clear about this, right? ”
Saigo Takamori groaned, I don't know how to answer, he was originally here to persuade Huahuang, but now it has become Huahuang persuading him, looking at this Huahuang who is only more than 7 years old, and there are two months behind the age of eight, Saigo Takamori suddenly felt like a child.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, no matter what, the matter of the Japanese, I hope that Japan will solve it internally, this is my attitude, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can see clearly." Saigo Takamori bowed deeply and prepared to leave.
President Meng stood up first, didn't say a word, and left.
Saigo Takamori was stunned on the spot, I don't know if Emperor Hua was angry? Sweating profusely.
President Meng is rarely so rude.,If you want to go.,At least say hello before leaving.,Today I'm really a little angry with this Saigo Takamori.。
Princess Katrina Kafu hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty, angry? ”
President Meng waved his hand, "When will the arms arrive?" ”
Princess Katrina Kafu was taken aback, knowing that President Moe was asking about arms sent to Japan, and the Seoul Garrison Command had insufficient ammunition and ammunition supply, so it was difficult to say what would happen if a batch was not sent to Nagasaki Castle.
"Now we are testing the President's Type 78 rifle, and we plan to promote it throughout the army, and there are still bullets here, and the report sent by the Seoul Garrison Command yesterday has about 30 million rounds of ammunition, which is enough for the First Brigade for two or three months. I was thinking that I would wait for the President's Type 1878 rifles to be uniformly reequipped with the 1st Brigade, so that the equipment that the 1st Brigade could replace would be given to the Nagasaki Castle Garrison Command, so that they could set up their own garrison. I want them to send it along. Princess Katrina Kaf explained.
President Meng nodded, "Yes, did they say when it will be delivered?" ”
"Well, at the end of this month, the test shot was successful, the President 1878 rifle uses burst bullets, and our steel performance has also improved, the President 1878 rifle is now the world's first-class rifle, more advanced than the British and French rifles, of course, including our original imitation of the Mauser rifle, I estimate that our rifles and cannons are already the most advanced military industry in the world. At the same time, 80 million rounds of ammunition were sent, and with this batch of armaments, we will be more confident in Nagasaki City, Japan. Princess Katrina Kafu laughed.
President Meng sighed, "Yes, the key is, how to transport it?" The British and French have put our ships under strict inspection, and we are not allowed to transport military goods to Nagasaki Castle. ”
Princess Katrina Kafu frowned, and couldn't think of a way, the Chinese army to deal with Japan, and the Chinese country to deal with Japan, it is not a problem now, defeat the whole of Japan, how can China still have such great strength, but just guarding a Nagasaki city, it is too easy.
"At least two heavy cargo ships can pull so many military supplies, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese have just been sent to Japan, I don't know, the British and the French, will even food be counted as military supplies, and food is even more terrible, at least ten, ten ships a month, at least until next summer, the area around Nagasaki City, in order to ensure self-sufficiency, if we can take down the entire island of Kyushu." Princess Katrina Kaf sighed.
President Meng smiled slightly, "Hehe, you think really well, I still want to take down the whole of Japan, you want to take down the whole of Kyushu?" This matter is different from diplomatic negotiations, but let's let Li Hongzhang do it, and I think the British and French ministers can help with some money! As long as they help us transport military supplies, not only will we be able to benefit personally, but also ...... In addition, China can recognize the trade rights of the French in Vietnam and the British trade rights in the Philippines for a period of five years, which can be regarded as their political achievements. ”
"Really want to recognize their interests in Vietnam and the Philippines? These are all vassal states of China, if you do this, will it affect the prestige of the Chinese Emperor? Princess Katrina Kafu reminded worriedly.
President Meng smiled: "Isn't there no way?" I will not betray the interests of my subjects unless absolutely necessary. ”
"Okay, I'll inform Li Hongzhang right away. It's up to Li Hongzhang, Your Majesty, do you say, are these Japanese stupid? We are now a great power on an equal footing with the British, the French, these powers, they dare to come to negotiate with us, dare to come to find someone to help, we can compromise with Britain and France casually, what else do they do? Princess Katrina Kaaf said.
"People are like this, we can't let Japan get up, remember, to destroy the world, destroy Japan first, this is a national policy! Japan will not be destroyed, I will not unify Asia! President Meng said loudly.
"Remembered." Princess Katrina Kafu took President Moe's arm, and the two of them left the main hall of the Joseon Palace, of course, it is not called the Joseon Palace now, it is President Moe's official residence in Seoul, the Central President's Mansion of Joseon.
Li Hongzhang received a call from Princess Katrina Kafu and immediately began to think of ideas.
In fact, Li Hongzhang has long been worried about how to help Huaguo transport military supplies, not now that Princess Katrina Kafu told him that he had just started to prepare, and before that, he had already contacted the British minister and the French minister in private.
The British and French ministers in Korea were in favor of China.
