Chapter 768: The Old Bottom Is Revealed

I saw that the woman in front of her was slender and delicate, her skin was like clotted fat, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were picturesque, her spirit was like autumn water, she was indescribably soft and delicate, she was naked, and it was particularly dazzling and fresh in this hazy hot spring pool, and her laughter came, and there was more of an indescribable charm.

"Yoko Shimazu has seen Lord Hayashi." As she spoke, she gently slid into the pool and pushed a floating wooden tray with cups of delicate fruit in it.

"I don't know Miss, and Miss is so kind, I'm really ashamed." Lin Yiqing also lowered his body into the spring water again and came to her, he noticed that her eyes were like deep pools, clear but bottomless, and he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.

"Lord Lin is in turmoil, cutting Russia, for the great Qianguo immortal merits, the world admires, although the little woman is in the boudoir, but also reverence, today to see the true face of the hero, happy life." Yoko Shimazu said as she took a cup of fruit drink and held it to Lin Yiqing with both hands.

And Lin Yiqing heard her comment of "cutting Russia in trouble", her heart shook violently, and when she took the fruit drink she handed over, her hand shook unconsciously.

How would she know about her plans?

What is the origin of this woman?

Although Lin Yiqing behaved calmly, Yoko Shimazu's starry eyes seemed to see through him, she smiled slightly, picked up the cup, and gently sipped the fruit drink.

Lin Yiqing also took a sip of the fruit drink, which was sweet and fragrant, which made him admire.

"I didn't expect to be able to drink Fuzhou's authentic fruit drink in Beijing." Lin Yiqing smiled and said, "Miss has also been to Fuzhou?" ”

"I've been living in Fuzhou since I left Japan, and I like it the most. It is the fruit drink and hot spring of Fuzhou. Yoko Shimazu replied.

Hearing Yoko Shimazu say that she had been living in Fuzhou, Lin Yiqing was stunned again.

Has this woman been following her all this time?

Wait a minute...... She said her surname was Shimazu......

There are many Japanese surnames Shimazu, but she is Shimazu, but she is ......

Even if she is from the Shimazu family, how did she know about her plan to "cut Russia in chaos"?

"Are you a spy for Japan? Did you come to Fuzhou to spy on me? Lin Yiqing calmly tested her.

"Lord Lin is serious, I'm a weak woman. It's too dangerous to spy on a hero like you, right? Yoko Shimazu laughed, "And there is a possibility of dying at any time, just like now, I'm still worried about which sentence is wrong, you killed me, I don't have the strength to resist at all." ”

She said, turning her head to look out the window. "Now around here, you have also made arrangements, and it should be me who is being monitored."

"What are you asking me to do at the risk of your life?" Lin Yiqing saw that she saw through her arrangement, and he was shocked again, he tried hard to calm down, and took another sip of fruit drink. Asked.

"I'd like to talk to you about what you've done. What kind of impact has it had on the world. Yoko Shimazu smiled slightly, her eyes fixed on Lin Yiqing's eyes.

"Miss Yoko thinks too highly of me." Lin Yiqing smiled again, but he knew that his smile was definitely not natural.

"You don't have to be modest, you have indeed changed the dynamics of East Asia," Yoko Shimazu took a deep breath. He said, "In East Asia, Japan is now finished, Russia's vitality has been greatly damaged, and the hegemony of the Qianguo country will be unshakable." I guess that's what you want as well. ”

"How so? Japan is now thriving again, Russia is still eyeing the tiger, and the big cadres are still as dazed as before, I wonder why Miss Yoko said this? Lin Yiqing asked deliberately.

"Then let's start at the beginning, starting with when you first arrived in Kagoshima." Yoko Shimazu smiled confidently and said, "I have investigated your early deeds, which are quite legendary, and it is said that after you came to Kagoshima, in order to attract the attention of General Saigo Yoshinosuke, you deliberately followed the example of Ji Yasuke's trip, fell on the road without clothes, stopped the general's carriage and horses, and defeated the samurai under the general with his bare hands. He gained the respect of the feudal lords with his talents and gradually became their leader. ”

Hearing that she actually told all the information about her first encounter with Saigo Takamori, and analyzed it well, Lin Yiqing secretly admired in her heart, but there was one thing she said wrong, that is, she did not deliberately fall on the road without clothes in order to attract the attention of Saigo Takamori, but she couldn't help herself......

She would never have guessed that she was a "traverser......

"You served as an instructor at the Kagoshima Naval Academy, not only trained a large number of troops capable of fighting for Kagoshima, but also effectively transformed the warriors of Kagoshima, transforming them from medieval samurai to excellent soldiers, and the reason why the Satsuma Army is so strong is inseparable from your efforts." Yoko Shimazu continued.

"Miss Yoko has won the award, the Satsuma Domain was originally one of the four strongest clans of the fallen curtain, Westerners call it 'Oriental Sparta', the martial arts are deep, I am just doing a little bit for General Saigo, General Saigo and General Kirino Toshiaki, General Shinohara Kunigan are all extremely good soldiers, there are few people in Japan who can match, and they are also the leader of the Satsuma samurai, I am just a guest of the scene, you don't have to exaggerate my merits." Lin Yiqing knew that what she said was not wrong at all, but she still instinctively defended herself.

"You don't have to make such an argument, you are the soul of the Satsuma Army, that is undeniable." Yoko Shimazu stretched out a finger and shook it lightly in front of Lin Yiqing, expressing his denial of his statement, "At the beginning of the Battle of the Southwest, General Saigo was nominally the supreme commander of the army, but he actually did not command a battle, and the real commander is you, who are the chief of the general staff of the Satsuma Army, General Toshiaki Kirino, General Shinohara Kunikan and other major generals, all obey your command and transfer. From the capture of Kumamoto Castle to the evacuation of the Satsuma army and civilians from Kyushu Island and retreat to the Ryukyus, you are in command of all the battles. This even included several key naval battles. ”

Hear her say that. Lin Yiqing closed his mouth.

He knew that the homework done by this woman was far more detailed than he had imagined!

"I've been thinking that you, as a Qianguo person, have nothing to do with you in this war between the Japanese, and you have trained an excellent army for General Saigo. You have done your duty, so why are you risking your life to help the people of Kyushu against the Japanese government? It's incredible. Are you really motivated by righteous indignation to help the fallen samurai? Did you brave the hail of bullets to win the favor of the samurai and the trust of Shogun Saigo? Or is it to fulfill your righteous name? ”

"I thought about it for a long time and investigated your background, and then I realized that all this you did was for one purpose. It is to let this civil war in Japan last longer, let Japan fall into turmoil, and weaken Japan's strength, because a rising Japan will inevitably become a threat to the country, and everything you do is to weaken Japan. ”

"Your plan is very thorough, and you should have done extensive research in Japan beforehand. You understand that since the Japanese Restoration, the contradictions between the old and the new forces have become irreconcilable. It is inevitable that war will solve everything, so you have deliberately joined the ranks of opposing the new Japanese government, and you also understand that the southwestern samurai represented by General Saigo will not be able to win, and all you have done is to find a place for them to bury. And the result of their bloody struggle is the weakening of Japan that you hope. ”

"It is very unfair to me and to those who have died in rebellion against tyranny that you have said that." Hearing Yoko Shimazu say this, Lin Yiqing finally found the node of the counterattack, and immediately said, "Actually. It is possible for us to win, after the conquest of Kyoto, I once suggested to General Saigo that he send the navy and army to attack Tokyo, destroy the government controlled by the thieves, rescue His Majesty the Emperor, and issue an edict in the name of His Majesty the Emperor to end the war, the thief army will inevitably collapse, then the war can be stopped, and the whole of Japan can be unified and reformed, and then the tyranny can be eliminated and reformed, but General Saigo, concerned about the safety of His Majesty the Emperor and his own reputation, hesitated and lost the warplane, and as a result, the thief government was given a chance to breathe, and even recruited Russian troops with a traitorous treaty. Crazy counterattack, so that our army was defeated and fell short. In fact, we are only one line away from victory, and it is by no means what you just said, there is no possibility of victory. ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's defense for herself, Yoko Shimazu smiled disapprehantly.

"Your justification sounds very reasonable, I haven't seen the situation back then, maybe what you said did happen, but what I want to say is that General Saigo is only the nominal commander-in-chief, you are the actual commander of the army, all the battles are commanded by you, and General Saigo has never expressed any opposition to your campaign plan, until the last moment of his life. You said that General Saigo was against your march into Tokyo, and you listened to it, this reason is untenable, even if General Saigo really objected, and you have the power to command the army, if you insist on your own opinion, his opposition will be useless. He's just a flag in your hand. And you gave up attacking Tokyo, which can only be said that you did it on purpose, and General Saigo's opposition was just a way for you to cover up people's eyes. ”

Hearing her words, Lin Yiqing was in a comfortable hot spring pool, but she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

This is simply a heart-wrenching argument!

If Saigo Takamori and Kirino Toshiaki and others were alive now, I don't know how they would feel when they heard her words?

"Your method is so clever that you can fool everyone who follows you. After the Battle of Kyoto, the government army had become a frightened bird, and if you had sent your army to attack Tokyo, you would probably have succeeded in one battle, but instead of attacking Tokyo, you divided your forces to attack Kobe, and I know that you will probably have to explain that this is because the army is short of food and grass, and the refugees who have suffered from the fires in Kyoto also need food relief, so you will divide your troops to Kobe to seize food. Your subordinates believe that this is your purpose, but I know that you did it on purpose, using it to disguise your true purpose. ”

"Say whatever you want." Hearing that she actually said all her justifications, Lin Yiqing said with some annoyance.

"What I said is just an inference based on facts, and I don't mean to accuse you, please don't misunderstand." Yoko Shimazu saw Lin Yiqing's angry appearance and knew that her guess was completely correct, but in order to avoid Lin Yiqing not coming down. Said such a sentence.

"Go on, I'll see what else you can say about me." Lin Yiqing settled down and took a sip of fruit drink, but because of the relationship that the old man had revealed just now, the taste of the same cup of fruit drink seemed to have become a little bad at this time.

"I just said that. The purpose of your participation in this war was to use this war to weaken Japan, but what I did not expect was that you also greatly weakened the strength of Russia, another enemy of the Qianguo, and you made full use of the combat power of the samurai of Kyushu, so that the Russian army in the Far East was also severely damaged, and it is almost impossible for Russia to launch an attack on the Qianguo on land. Yoko Shimazu continued. Judging from your situation with the Russian army, you should have been prepared for the possible intervention of the Russian army, although the Qinwang division under your command eventually failed, but the casualties suffered by the Russian army were several times that of the Qinwang division, and the Russian army's forces in the Far East were exhausted, so that after the end of the war, there was no strength to keep the fruits of victory in Hokkaido. And that's what you want to see. ”

"The intervention of the Russian army was carried out by Iwakura national thieves, and I didn't think of this layer in advance. So there was no battle plan against the Russians. Lin Yiqing said in a deep voice, "The Russian army came to attack us. Of course, we can't sit idly by, not to mention the brutality and greed of the Russians, who are angry and angry in Japan, of course we have to teach them a hard lesson, and they have suffered heavy casualties by ourselves. We fought against the Russian army, and the Japanese people were very supportive. That's why they will be dealt the greatest blow, as for what you said about the weakening of the Russian Far East and its inability to fight against the Qianguo, it is not true, although the number of Russian land forces is small. However, the naval brigade is not stationed in Japan, and it is still constantly watching the Qianguo, the Qianguo Army has been decaying for a long time, has no combat strength, and the navy has too few ships and weak strength to resist the Russian army, and it is still very easy for the Russian army to attack the Qianguo, and it is only because it is worried about the interference of Britain, France, and other countries that it has not taken action. ”

"There is some truth in your explanation, but the Qianguo Army is not without troops capable of fighting, Governor Li Shaoquan's Huai Army is a very effective army, and it is the Huai Army that defeated the Japanese army in Moss Bay, and the strength of the Qianguo Navy is also very strong, and the Ship Administration and Naval Division plus the Beiyang Naval Division are the first in East Asia, so the military strength of the Qianguo is not as weak as you said, and the fact that Russia has been weakened, you can't deny it, right?" Yoko Shimazu asked with a smile.

"Of course. But the weakening of Russia was the result of the objective situation, not my plan. Lin Yiqing felt like he was back in the debate meeting of his college days, and he was gradually losing patience under the constant pressure of his opponents.

This woman seems to have seen everything about him!

"No, it's your plan, in fact, it's so big and elaborate that one can imagine." Yoko Shimazu looked at Lin Yiqing and smiled again, "Do you want me to tell all your plans?" ”

Hearing her last words, Lin Yiqing's face changed slightly, and a pair of fists were clenched in the water.

At this moment, he already had a murderous intent in his heart.

"Your plan is to make Qianguo the hegemon of East Asia." Yoko Shimazu didn't seem to notice that Lin Yiqing's face was blue, and continued to expose Lin Yiqing's old background, "The first step of your plan, to weaken Japan and Russia and eliminate the enemy for the Qianguo, has been successful, and the second step of your plan is to carry out reforms in the Qianguo and make the Qianguo itself stronger." She looked at Lin Yiqing, "Don't say that you didn't do anything after you returned to China, in fact, you have done a lot of unknown things and have quietly changed the face of this ancient and conservative country." ”

"Oh? In your eyes, what have I done to benefit the country and the people? Lin Yiqing sneered and asked.

"After you returned to China, although the Qianguo Imperial Court welcomed you to lead the Satsuma army and civilians to join you, but only gave you an empty title of first-class baron, and did not have an actual official position, and you did not express dissatisfaction, but returned to your hometown in Fuzhou, living a life of lust and lust, on the surface, you seem to be depressed, have given up your ambitions, but I can see that these are just appearances," Shimazu Yoko continued, "You are hiding behind the scenes, and you are fully promoting the development of this country. ”

"Before you returned to China, the shipbuilding business of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau had come to a standstill because of the problem of funds, and soon after you returned to China, it suddenly flourished again, built a large number of merchant ships into the operation of passengers and cargo at sea, and made great profits, and suddenly solved the problem of insufficient funds that had plagued the shipbuilding for many years, and the new stone dock was completed, so that the Qianguo Navy had a real base, and the Mawei Shipyard was also able to build a large ship of nearly 5,000 tons, and then the level of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau was also upgraded. The shipbuilding agency presided over by a local official has risen to a national body in charge of national shipbuilding affairs, although the Harbour Master who is now in charge of this body seems to be a greedy and uneducated child of the imperial family, but this person has greatly improved the status of the Harbour Master Bureau in his royal capacity, and this imperial minister has an extraordinary relationship with you......" Yoko Shimazu said this, taking a sip of fruit, revealing her white neck.

Lin Yiqing looked at her seductive neck and resisted the urge to go up and twist it. (To be continued.) )
