Zhang Wei arrived at the Yokosuka Naval Base in Tokyo Bay on 24 November on 24 November with one Xia-class battleship that had just been released from the system, two Lanfang-class battlecruisers and 10 destroyers from the Northern Theater of Operations. 【】

The port of Yokosuka is the seat of the Governor-General's Palace in Japan, and Lieutenant General Xiao Honglan and Ambassador to Japan Zhang Wenjin have been waiting at the pier for a long time.

The Xia Empire stationed 12 independent regiments in Japan, each regiment has more than 5,000 people, the squad is equipped with light machine guns and M2 mortars, and the regiment directly under the M heavy howitzer is 6 guns each, and the combat effectiveness of the wheel is not lost to a national defense division, equipped with higher specifications than the Guards, and each battalion is an independent combat unit.

As far as the combat effectiveness of the wheel is concerned, each independent regiment can completely defeat one Japanese division and regiment, and it plays a completely suppressive role in Japan.

That evening, after dinner, the Governor and the Ambassador respectively reported to Zhang Wei on the situation in Japan.

Lieutenant General Xiao Honglan reported: "Your Majesty, the matter here really makes you right, we have repaired Japan so badly, and we are still stationing troops here, but the Japanese do not have hatred for the Xia Empire, they are all full of yearning for the Xia Empire, this nation is really cheap." ”

"Haha, it was we who conquered the Japanese by force, and suppressed Japan's ambition to resist by force, if the army is withdrawn, they will immediately turn their faces and deny people, and they must often knock on the point of the Japanese nation, otherwise their ambitions will swell very quickly. If you control this place well, Japan is the ideal place for our empire to serve soldiers, Japan has a population of tens of millions, and the number of soldiers can be said to be inexhaustible. ”

The ambassador to Japan said: "Your Majesty, if you want Japan to become the permanent military territory of the empire, then you must not let them develop their economy and military industry, and they must not go beyond the control of the empire, as long as their economy is not good, then they will always be at the mercy of the empire." ”

Zhang Wei said: "You can't not give them no benefits at all, haven't they abandoned agriculture now and are working hard to develop raw silk?" You have to give them a little sweetness, and only after developing raw silk can you make money and still owe the empire compensation, otherwise you just rely on the service industry, and it will take the year of the monkey to pay it off. “

The ambassador said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, this is what I want to say, the grain of our empire is sold at such a cheap price, and all the land vacated by the Japanese is used to develop raw silk, and the profit is much better than growing grain." “

Zhang Wei said: "Don't look at the red eyes, if a country can't be self-sufficient in food, then it must be at the mercy of the empire, when the empire only needs to raise the price of grain, or stop selling them grain, how many people do you say Japan will starve to death, do they dare to break free from the constraints of the empire?" They will always have to fight for food, and they will always be able to provide excellent mercenaries for the empire. “

The ambassador said: "What Your Majesty said is that controlling a country's rations is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the country, but this time Japan definitely hopes that Your Majesty will relax the export restrictions on Japanese products, hoping to enter the product market of the Xia Empire, and it is better not to loosen up too much." “

In the following time, Zhang Wei secretly met with several businessmen and spies who had lurked in Japan, and now they have done a relatively good job, and they have all become representatives of the emerging forces of Japanese industry and commerce, and some have a certain political influence in the local area, which makes Zhang Wei very satisfied.

On the 26th, Xiao Honglan, Wang Dajun and others accompanied Zhang Wei from the land to Tokyo, and along the way learned about the current life and development of the Japanese.

Lieutenant General Xiao Honglan sent 1 battalion of officers and soldiers to accompany him for protection; There are 5 regiments stationed in Tokyo, and I believe that no one will dare to turn against them.

Since Japan implements a chaebol economy, the profits are made by the state and the chaebol, and people can only get meager profits, and it is good to be able to meet food and clothing; The standard of living of the Japanese along the way was much worse than Zhang Wei's impression.

Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Konozo and members of the cabinet as well as the royal prince led a wing of the Guards Division to meet each other dozens of miles out of the city, and imposed martial law on all the dozens of miles along the way.

Japan learned that the Emperor of the Xia Empire had come to visit in person, which made them feel that it was a great honor, you know, since the founding of the Xia Empire, the emperor has not visited abroad.

In the matter of marrying the princess to the emperor of the Xia Empire as a concubine, the government and the royal family have common interests, and it is rare to reach an agreement.

This time I went out of the city to greet Zhang Wei, just to leave a good impression on Zhang Wei in advance, and the government and the royal family wanted to gain Zhang Wei's favor.

That night, Zhang Wei was washed away at the Prime Minister's Office.

Due to the conflict between the government and the royal family, the royal family did not attend today's banquet.

Zhang Wei sat on the main seat of the banquet, and on the left and right were the officials of the Xia Empire and the members of the Japanese cabinet.

Prime Minister Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple first raised his glass: "Welcome to the presence of Emperor Jimmu, the whole country of Japan is deeply honored, on behalf of the Japanese government, I would like to toast you with a glass of wine, I wish you all the best!" “

Zhang Wei had already received a report from Ambassador Zhang Wenjin that the prime minister was the leader of the pro-Xia Empire's faction and had made great contributions to the Xia Empire's management of Japan, so Zhang Wei raised his glass and said: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is polite, first of all, I want to thank you for the banquet, and secondly, let all of you here raise a glass together, and may the friendship between the Xia Empire and Japan last forever." “

Everyone felt that Zhang Wei was very face-saving, and the prime minister felt very beautiful, and they were very happy to finish the first glass of wine.

Subsequently, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang arranged for his granddaughter Mieko to come out to toast Zhang Wei and dance on the spot.

Mieko is a little younger than Zhang Wei, only 17 years old, but she already has an adult figure and height, and she is very beautiful just by looking at her appearance.

In the ensuing conversation, the Duke of Xiyuan Temple looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the concept of Japan in your impression?" “

"Haha, Your Excellency, you make me embarrassed."

"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said busily.

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while and said: "I have the impression that Japan should be a developed country with a rich life, but the scene I saw in the places I passed by today does not match my impression, where has Japan's wealth gone?" Obviously, the mere development of the military industry cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for the people; Secondly, in my impression, the titles of Japan are high, and there are many of them, which are very enviable, I wonder how many princes there are in Japan now? This is something that our Xia Empire cannot compare; In the end, the Japanese give me the impression that they like to take risks, and if the adventure is successful, it will be easy to get rich overnight, and if the adventure is not successful, it is easy to be thrown into the bottomless abyss, and there will be no day to turn over, which is very different from our traditional Chinese thinking. ”

Zhang Wei's words made Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and the cabinet members sweat on their faces, which showed that Zhang Wei was seriously dissatisfied with Japan, and if the Xia Empire was dissatisfied with Japan, then Japan would never turn over.

Zhang Wei and others stayed at the Prime Minister's Office that night, and they originally planned to return to the embassy, but they were only warmly invited by the public of Xiyuan Temple, and Zhang Wei was not easy to refuse.

Through the systematic inspection, no dangerous situation was found within a few kilometers of the surrounding area, and Zhang Wei was completely relieved.

When Zhang Wei was about to rest, Ambassador Zhang Wenjin came in and reported to Zhang Wei: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of Japan's Saionji Gongwang wants to dedicate his granddaughter to you as a maid, what do you think?" ”

"What? Be my maid? No, I'll choose a few princesses from Japan to be the imperial concubines tomorrow, and it's better to make no extraneous branches now. Zhang Wei refused.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister claimed and prepared, and rejected it, right? I'm afraid of hurting their self-esteem. ”

"What's so bad about that? Or give it to Xiao Honglan, he hasn't married a wife yet. Zhang Wei finally came up with a solution.

"No, Xiao Dudu is stationed in Japan, and many things are difficult to talk about after this relationship. Otherwise, Your Majesty will give Wang Dajun a marriage, he has been with His Majesty for so long, so give him some sweetness. Zhang Wenjin suggested.

"Okay, that's it, but don't tell Wang Dajun, give him a surprise when the time comes." Zhang Wei commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Wenjin left after finishing speaking, he had to go and explain to the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang immediately, so as not to cause misunderstanding.

Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple was very angry at Zhang Wei's rejection of his granddaughter, isn't my granddaughter not a princess of the royal family? They are also worthy of the name of the royal family, or they are not worthy of carrying shoes for their granddaughters.

Zhang Wenjin hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, don't be angry, when the Great Qing Kingdom wanted to marry the princess to our Emperor Majesty, our Emperor His Majesty refused, not that he didn't look down on Miss Mieko, but that His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to marry too many wives, and he was afraid of wronging Mieko, so His Majesty the Emperor decided to marry Miss Mieko and Lieutenant General Wang Dajun, Chief of Staff of the Taiwan Provincial Military Region, I don't know what His Excellency the Prime Minister wants?" ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang thought to himself, Lieutenant General Wang Dajun, who reached the rank of lieutenant general at the age of 30, has an unlimited future and is not bad, so he has slightly reduced his anger. Even the princess of the Great Qing Kingdom can marry the metropolitan governor of the Northern Theater, not to mention her granddaughter, and it is also a good result to be able to marry the chief of staff of the Taiwan Provincial Military Region.

"Then you wait for my news, I need to go back and consult my granddaughter's opinion." After saying that, he left the living room, thinking to himself, fortunately he didn't tell Mieko in advance, otherwise it wouldn't end well tonight.

"Then I'll wait for news from His Excellency the Prime Minister." Zhang Wenjin arched his hand and said, but he thought in his heart, he would have to suffer to save face and suffer if he died.

Saionji Gongwang returned to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Palace, came to his granddaughter's room, and knocked on the door, "Mieko! ”

Mieko opened the door and ushered him into the room.

Xisiyuan Gongwang said to his granddaughter: "Mieko, you are not young anymore, I just discussed with His Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Empire, and I am ready to find a mother-in-law for you, what do you think?" ”

Mieko also thought that His Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Empire liked him, and hurriedly said: "But it's up to grandpa to decide!" ”

"Oh, this is grandpa's good granddaughter; You have also seen your future husband, the soldier who sat in the second place on the west side, about 30 years old, already a lieutenant general, the chief of staff of the Taiwan Provincial Military Region, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, how do you feel? Got an impression? ”

Mieko was very disappointed when she heard that it was not the emperor of the Xia Empire who liked her, and Saionji Gongwang saw all her expressions in her eyes.

Mieko stabilized her mood and said, "Grandpa, I still want to stay at home with you for a few more years, and you are in such a hurry to marry me off?" ”

"Mieko, grandpa doesn't want to, but the opportunity is rare, now that Japan is in turmoil, I don't know what the future trend will be, and if you solve your life's major events, grandpa will be at ease." As he spoke, he left 2 lines of tears.

Mieko helped her grandfather wipe away her tears and said, "Grandpa, I listen to you!" Don't be embarrassed. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
