In Yoshida Shoin's heart, he has always thought that it is a cooperative relationship with Li Zhen, and even regards Li Zhen as a dangerous tiger. He hoped that Li Zhen would help him vigorously, but he had been guarding against Li Zhen in his heart. Therefore, as soon as Yoshida Shoin opened his mouth, he asked Li Zhen to send troops, without mentioning his own affairs at all, and wanted to use Li Zhen's power to destroy the Tokugawa shogunate and then control power.

Li Zhen knows such a plan.

A fool would believe that Yoshida Shoin has no strength at all.

If he didn't have the slightest strength, Yoshida Shoin would never have called on so many people to participate, and he would never have made the imperial family and the shogunate so jealous. The corners of Li Zhen's mouth hooked, and he shook his head lightly and said, "If the Shogunate Sect wants to overthrow the Shogunate, it has to rely on itself." ”

In a word, Yoshida Shoin's face changed greatly. Takasugi Jinsaku was disappointed in his heart, his eyes rolled, and he immediately said: "King Zhennan, you promised to support us at the beginning, why did you suddenly change your mind now?" You can't help but be trustworthy. ”

Li Zhen's face sank, and his eyes showed displeasure.

This man is too bold.

Ito Hirobumi is also a master who is not afraid of things, and coaxed and said: "The prince is the king of Zhennan of the Great Qing Kingdom, and he is a person who stands up to the sky and the earth of the Great Qing Kingdom, how can he take it back if he says it?" If the news of your rebellion spreads, it will also affect the reputation of the prince, please think twice before acting. ”

Ito Hirofumi's words were soft and hard, and they provoked Li Zhen.

Prior to this, Ito Hirobumi had asked Li Zhen why he didn't separate the literary test from the martial arts competition, but Li Zhen avoided answering, which made Ito Hirobumi feel uncomfortable, and now Li Zhen planned to regret it, and Ito Hirobumi immediately made sarcastic remarks.

Yoshida Shoin scolded: "Shut up. In front of the prince, there is no part for you to speak. ”

As soon as he spoke, Li Zhen didn't want to criticize Ito Hirofumi.

Li Zhen's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you don't have your own strength, only my soldiers help you sweep the shogunate, and after victory, will I occupy Japan together and incorporate it into my territory?" Or, once my army is withdrawn from Japan, you will be counterattacked by the Shogunate and defeated again. ”

Li Zhen's sharp words counterattacked, and Yoshida Songyin was stunned for a moment.

Ito Hirobumi didn't speak anymore, and was frightened by Li Zhen's words to take advantage of the situation to occupy Japan.

Takasugi Jinsaku took a deep breath and said solemnly: "We came to the prince to discuss with the prince, not to let the prince lead the troops to charge, the prince misunderstood." ”

At this moment, Takasugi Jinsaku immediately spoke out to ease the situation.

Li Zhen continued: "I don't plan to say anything, but I think that you are all passionate and for the development of the country, just like me, so I warn you that power comes out of the barrel of a gun." Only with our own army and our own strength can we gain a firm foothold. Without the support of strength, it is all for nothing. After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "We must gather all the personnel under our command and gather all the forces that can be gathered." I can provide you with weapons and excellent artillery fire, so that your men can fight bloody battles, and only after the baptism of war can they gain a firm foothold in Japan. The filial piety of the royal family is not an enlightened emperor, you still have to face internal friction, so things are not simple, there is no means, and the result is definitely not good. Think about it, decide for y'all about what to do. ”

Yoshida Shoin said, "I gather all my strength. It's just that the prince promised to supply artillery fire, when will this be supplied to us? Our people are in dire need of weapons, too! ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Naturally, money speaks!" ”

Yoshida Songyin's brows furrowed, but he heard Li Zhen say: "You don't plan to buy it, I can only turn to support the Fallen Curtain faction, sell weapons to the royal family, and then openly stand on their side and give advice for them." I have shown my support for you, and I am willing to give artillery and other support, and that is enough. There is no such good thing as a free lunch in the world, and it is not such a good thing to want me to give weapons and ammunition for no reason. A person stands in front of you for no reason and says that he is willing to shelter you from the wind and rain, are you willing to give money? I don't think you'll agree, but you'll probably call people crazy. ”

Takasugi Jinsaku stood up and said, "We agreed to give money, hoping that the prince will keep his promise and not support the royal family." ”

"Definitely!" Li Zhen said.

Takasugi Shinsaku said, "Teacher, let's go raise funds!" ”

Yoshida Shoin stood up and took his leave.

After waiting for the cadres to leave, Zhao Liewen said: "You sold weapons to Yoshida Songyin to earn money, and created civil strife. What would you like to achieve if the two sides were to fight? Zhao Liewen has been by Li Zhen's side for a while, and knows that Li Zhen will definitely not help Japan develop, nor will he make Japan strong. Because this is not Li Zhen's style, but what kind of goal Li Zhen wants to achieve, this is something that Zhao Liewen can't guess, so he took the initiative to ask.

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "I want to set back Japan's strength by twenty, thirty, or even fifty years. For quite some time to come, they all went downhill. ”

Zhao Liewen chuckled in his heart, this idea was too domineering.

Immediately, Zhao Liewen said: "The prince supports Yoshida Songyin and gives them the greatest support. However, if the Tokugawa shogunate entered the war, the situation would be different, and the situation would be unpredictable!

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Let's wait and see!" ”

……

After the end of the cultural test and the armed struggle, the situation in Nagasaki returned to calm on the surface, and the Japanese political circles were also calm. It's just that secretly there is a turbulent dark tide, because everyone knows that Li Zhen is on the side of the downfall faction, and Yoshida Shoin, Takasugi Shinsaku and other cadres are actively developing their strength, recruiting personnel, and they can feel the precursor before the storm.

In a flash, it was already the end of May.

Nagasaki, Tokugawa shogunate.

In the hall, Tokugawa Ieshige sits in a luxurious kimono with two swords stuck in his waist.

Tokugawa Bian Gen knelt down and said, "Lord General, Li Zhen arrived in Japan, arrogantly snatched the demon sword Muramasa, and threatened to let you not mess with him, otherwise he wouldn't mind destroying the Tokugawa family." Your Excellency General, Li Zhen is a dragon of the Great Qing Kingdom, but when the dragon crosses the river to our Japan and to the place under your jurisdiction, he has to cross his body. He is now extremely arrogant, and he openly supports Yoshida Shoin's gang of demons, if you continue to sit idly by, you will definitely cause disaster! ”

"Yaga!!"

Tokugawa Ieshige scolded and said in a deep voice: "This guy called Li Zhendi is too arrogant!" After a pause, he said in a slightly helpless tone: "However, Li Zhen is a dragon crossing the river!" ”

Tokugawa Hegen had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking that it was useless to come to ask for help? Tokugawa Hegen said again: "Lord Shogun, Yoshida Shoin's large-scale recruitment of personnel is obviously preparing to use force, and action must be taken!" ”

Tokugawa Ishige said in a deep voice: "Ben will have his own plans, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

ps: the second shift; At the end of work, I will return to Yibin tomorrow morning, strive for tomorrow's third watch, running back and forth, I am really tired.
