Chapter 234: Japan Has Action
With the retreat of the Western coalition forces, Li Shen's navy was left in the South Seas, and Li Shen's navy was also quickly cleaning up the battlefield, at the same time Li Shen personally led half of the warships to pursue the enemy, Li Shen of course had his own purpose, Li Shen's purpose was actually very simple, that is, to take the Strait of Malacca, the Strait of Malacca was very important in later generations, as long as the Strait of Malacca was taken, then for the Chinese Empire, it was really like divine help.

In the Indian Ocean, only the naval strength of the Chinese Empire is stronger, and it can also be considered, which is definitely very big for the overall development of the Chinese nation, and no one can do it, if we are hungry, it is very good, and it is also very friendly.
Tom looked at the Huaxia Navy in the rear, and actually chose to pursue, and his heart was even more cold sweat, but then Tom put his mind at ease. Tom calmed down under the reminder of the French general, the Huaxia Navy could not have been chasing their own side, and they didn't have so many shells, so they would definitely choose to stop attacking at a certain time, but no matter what, Li Shen led the Huaxia Navy to continue to pursue, in Li Shen's eyes, the fear of the British army and the rest of the army is the best result, and Li Shen also believes that after this naval battle, Western countries want to be enemies of Huaxia in the future, I'm afraid they will also think about it, It is impossible to make a decision lightly, after all, the current Chinese navy is capable of threatening many Western countries.
Finally the Strait of Malacca arrived, and then Li Shen ordered the troops to stop advancing, their goal was to occupy the Strait of Malacca, only by occupying the Strait of Malacca, the Chinese Empire could want to hold one of the lifelines of the east-west shipping lane, but this was enough for the Chinese Empire.
Of course, how the Chinese Empire will develop in the future, this is not his final say, it still needs Li Zhongju to say the count.
When Li Shen took the Strait of Malacca, the first thing he did was to ask Li Zhongju for instructions to establish a link between the Strait of Malacca and the South Seas, and at the same time he had to establish a military town, only in this way could he ensure that the Strait of Malacca would always be in the hands of the Chinese Empire.
Li Zhongju looked at the telegram sent by Li Shen, and immediately gave instructions to establish Singapore, and at the same time to establish good relations with several surrounding countries to help them drive the colonists out of the country, but the Chinese Empire must station a certain number of troops in their country, only in this way can the interests of the Chinese Empire be not violated.
Li Shen received enough news from Li Zhongju, and immediately knew what Li Zhongju meant, and he immediately began to prepare, this time he absolutely praised the preparation, and he must not allow big mistakes.
Time flies very fast, in the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Li Zhongju came to Beijing City, and in these two years, the development of the Chinese Empire is also very fast, it can be said that no one expected it.
At the same time, in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, a small island nation in East Asia, Japan, Emperor Meiji summoned some ministers, who seemed to be planning something.
Emperor Meiji, in the history of Japan, is a relatively powerful emperor, and it is he who ended the rule of the shogunate in Japan for more than 600 years, so that the shogunate returned power to the emperor, no matter what, the Meiji Emperor of Japan is a very powerful emperor, and no one can replace him.
The position of Emperor Meiji is too important, and in Japan, Emperor Meiji's Meiji Restoration can be said to be very important, not comparable to others, all thanks to Emperor Meiji.
Emperor Meiji looked at the dozen ministers below and said, "I have summoned you here today to tell you that the situation in East Asia is becoming clearer and clearer, and the Manchu Empire, our great power in the West, has been replaced by Li Zhongju and established a Chinese Empire. Where is our Japanese empire going? I decided that we were going to war with the Chinese Empire, and we have been vigorously developing our military for many years, and we are already very strong until today. ā
Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi looked at Emperor Meiji and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can fight with the Chinese Empire, and the strength of our army of the Great Japanese Empire is very powerful, and it is by no means comparable to the Chinese." But we should use both land and sea, and we should also attack from the Korean Peninsula, which should be the most powerful for our Empire Japan. ā
The rest of the people also nodded, in their eyes, only this is the most real, is the most successful, and the current Joseon Dynasty is a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, taking the Korean Peninsula, for the Japanese Empire, there should not be too much difficulty, because Japan's strength is much stronger than the Korean Dynasty.
Emperor Meiji stared at everyone closely, and finally Emperor Meiji ordered the Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy and Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito to draw up a plan for the war against China.
Emperor Meiji watched everyone leave the conference room, and then Emperor Meiji slapped his face twice, and from a passage on the right, a burly man walked out and quickly knelt down, "See His Majesty the Emperor." ā
Emperor Meiji picked up the man and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to make a move on your people again this time, so you immediately send people to the Huaxia Empire to kill these dozen people." ā
Emperor Meiji then handed the burly man a list and told him to do what the list said.
This man immediately agreed, he was the shadow army of the Meiji Emperor, and many ministers speculated that His Majesty the Emperor had such a team, which was specially used to deal with those who did not obey, and even the enemy. This is the trump card of Emperor Meiji.
It is also remarkable that Emperor Meiji was able to grow from a cowardly child to the point where she is today, and many of this can be attributed to his own efforts, but many people are also remarkable for her education. Especially when he was sixteen years old, he was shocked by the sound of cannonballs and fainted, and he was taught by many celebrities later, so he has the person he is today.
When Emperor Meiji moved the capital to Edo and renamed it Tokyo, he began to carry out a comprehensive reform, and there was bound to be a lot of resistance, and how to minimize this resistance was, of course, to eliminate it.
How to eliminate, of course, the legitimate means will not work, then you can only choose dirty means, what assassinations and the like, which requires an army dedicated to serving itself. It is under these circumstances that this shadow force was developed. At the same time, Emperor Meiji also attached great importance to the development of this team.
Emperor Meiji looked into the distance and was very proud. (To be continued.) )
