Li Zhen's gaze swept over Yoshida Shoin, Takasugi Jinsaku and others, gently stroked the pistol in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "Aren't you going back to prepare for war?" In more than ten days, it will be a battle between the Shogunate faction and the Shogunate headed by the Emperor. When the time comes, the two sides fight, and if they lose, I will not help you. ”

Yoshida Shoin laughed loudly and said confidently: "Please rest assured that King Zhennan, if you deal with Anren and Noda Yoo's gang, it will be absolutely fine." ”

Li Zhen smiled faintly and did not answer.

Yoshida Shoin continued, "However, what I am worried about is that the Tokugawa shogunate will step in at a critical time. It is hoped that the king of Zhennan will wave his army to meet the Tokugawa shogunate and exterminate the forces of the Tokugawa family. ”

Li Zhen said: "Why should I exterminate the Tokugawa shogunate? ”

Yoshida Matsuyin said: "If the king of Zhennan is willing to help, after we succeed, we will definitely serve the Great Qing Kingdom as the suzerain, and pay tribute every year." When he said this, Yoshida Matsuyin secretly comforted himself in his heart that after he took power, he would definitely develop his strength to catch up with the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, and then tear up the tribute treaty, but now he needs to rely on external forces, and only in this way can he attract Li Zhen's help.

Li Zhen muttered, "Sect Master? ”

He bowed his head slightly, lost in thought, weighing the pros and cons.

Takasugi Jinsaku persuaded again: "King Zhennan, after the reformers have the right to speak, they not only regard the Great Qing Kingdom as the suzerain, but also become a barrier on the sea of the Great Qing Kingdom. Not only that, Japan can also be used as a supply base for the warships of the Great Qing Kingdom at sea, which is a convenience that Japan can provide. ”

Li Zhen nodded, agreeing with Takasugi Shinsaku's words.

Zhao Liewen said: "Lord Wang, I don't think so!" ”

"Oh, what do you think?" A look of banter flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, and he asked seriously.

Yoshida Shoin said, "King Zhennan, please listen to the next word. ”

Yoshida Shoin couldn't care about so much, and once Li Zhen disagreed, even if he defeated the forces led by Yasuhito and Noda Yoo, he would lack the strength to resist the Tokugawa shogunate.

Therefore, Yoshida Shoin couldn't help but interject.

Li Zhen's gaze swept over Zhao Liewen, and then fell on Yoshida Songyin, and said, "Yoshida will say it first!" ”

"Thank you, King Zhennan!!"

Yoshida Songyin breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said: "King Zhennan, as far as I know, the Great Qing Kingdom is not your family alone at present, there is a puppet emperor in the north, and there is an army entrenched in the southwest. You also have to spare your forces to deal with these people, it is difficult to take care of things at sea, you need a lot of weapons and food, etc. ”

"As long as King Zhennan helps us defeat the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan and Taiwan will help each other, not only providing you with a large amount of food and weapons, but also providing you with troop support, and even sending soldiers to the Great Qing Kingdom to help you quell the chaos. In addition, Japan can also defend itself against sneak attacks from Britain, the United States, France and other countries. As long as you help us, it is very beneficial for you to kill more birds with one stone. That's all I have to say, please think twice about the king of Zhennan. ”

After Yoshida Shoin finished speaking, his heart was already relaxed. He is already close to full strength, as the saying goes, everything is subject to the destiny of heaven, and then he can only wait for Li Zhen's decision.

Zhao Liewen hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, I think ......" As soon as the words were spoken, he saw Li Zhen raise his right hand and interrupted: "Needless to say, I promised Yoshida to help them deal with the Tokugawa shogunate." ”

"Thank you, King Zhennan!"

Yoshida Shoin was overjoyed in his heart, and got up and bowed.

Takasugi Shinsaku was also happy, they finally had the help of external forces, and it was much easier to deal with the Tokugawa shogunate. Takasugi Shinsaku stood up and thanked Li Zhen.

At this moment, the people of the Shogunate faction brought by Yoshida Shoin were also excited.

After expressing their gratitude, they took their leave and left.

Zhao Liewen looked at the backs of the departing Japanese, and said angrily: "Lord Wang, the ambition of the Japanese wolf son is definitely wrong. You helped them, it was the meat buns that beat the dogs and there was no return. This is a loss-making business, and it can't be done! We can't send troops to help the Fallen Curtain faction, or we'll be guns in the hands of little devils. ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are too worried. I promised them, just to lower Yoshida Shoin's vigilance. I wasn't so stupid to send troops to fight the Tokugawa shogunate's army. At present, what I want to do is to make the Japanese infighting as much as possible, and then weaken them as much as possible, so it is impossible to help Yoshida Shoin attack the Tokugawa shogunate. ”

Zhao Liewen hurriedly said: "In this way, the prince is fooling Yoshida Songyin." ”

"Of course!" Li Zhen said with a smile.

……

In the port of Nagasaki, after Li Zhen's order was conveyed, it was quickly passed into the hands of Zuo Zongtang. After Zuo Zongtang got the order, he was immediately excited. He stood on the deck and shouted, "Liu Jintang, take the soldiers under your command and follow Lao Tzu to kill people." ”

Liu Jintang is a member of Zuo Zongtang's command, only fifteen years old, but full of murderous spirit.

When the boy was ten years old, he joined the army with his uncle.

At that time, Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan joined forces to fight, while Liu Jintang followed Zuo Zongtang. Later, Zuo Zongtang was promoted and transferred to the court as an official, and Liu Jintang was transferred to Zeng Guofan. When Zuo Zongtang became the commander of the Second Army under Li Zhen, and Zeng Guofan took the Hunan army to merge under Li Zhen, Liu Jintang ran to Zuo Zongtang again.

This kid is less than sixteen years old, and he is already the head of a regiment, with a thousand soldiers in charge, and the soldiers under his command are also extremely powerful. Historically, Liu Jintang was the most powerful general under Zuo Zongtang and the main general in the recovery of Xinjiang.

"Commander, I'm here."

After Liu Jintang got the news, he carried a big gun, faced the battleship, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Brothers, the commander has an order, follow the commander to kill the little devil." He followed Zuo Zongtang's roar and ordered the first level to wear the first level, and it was quickly passed on. The soldiers of a regiment quickly assembled and quickly followed Zuo Zongtang off the battleship.

The army left, and Zeng Guofan also got the news. After Zeng Guofan inquired clearly, but Zuo Zongtang had already taken the soldiers away, so angry that Zeng Guofan stomped his feet again and again, and failed to take the soldiers away.

After Zuo Zongtang entered the port with the soldiers, he found a merchant who could speak Chinese by the port, asked the merchant to lead the way, and quickly ran towards the Yanagi family's residence.

Along the way, a thousand people hurried quickly and soon came to the outside of the Yagyu family's residence.

Zuo Zongtang had a pistol in his waist and a steel knife in his back. He stood outside the gate of the Yanagi family and shouted, "Surround the mansion of the Yanagi family for Lao Tzu." Raised by a son of a bitch, the little devil dared to attack the prince, and he was so impatient to live. It's clear to Lao Tzu, watch all the doors tightly, a little devil can't miss it. ”

Liu Jintang conveyed the order, and also shouted: "Brothers, the commander's words are quite clear." A little devil can't miss it, whoever misses one, come to see him and immediately execute the order. ”

In an instant, a thousand soldiers surrounded the Yanagi family's mansion.
