"What? You say Sizhu is the daughter of King Zhong? How can you tell? Lin Yizhe was stunned.

"I dreamed about her when she was a child, you gave her a piece of ancient jade, right? You said that the jade was given by an official when Riyige helped to cut the long hair, and I noticed that her expression was unnatural when she heard the word 'long hair'. Lin Yiqing said, "There is a gift of jade, right?" ”

"There is indeed a gift of jade," Lin Yizhe thought back to the scene at that time and nodded, "But don't say it, her face is a little similar to King Zhong...... But her pupils are inky blue......"

"That is, she has foreign blood, she has a delicate face, very white skin, and is tall, and it is difficult to say which foreign woman Li Xiucheng gave birth to. Li Xiucheng, isn't there a lot of foreigners to help? Lin Yiqing said, "In addition, as you just said, her face is very similar to the portrait left by Li Xiucheng, I have seen that portrait, it is in a book written by a foreigner about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom incident, Li Xiucheng was born very handsome, but there is always melancholy in his eyes, and your sister-in-law's eyes are almost out of the same mold as him." ”

"You've been looking hard enough!" Lin Yizhe laughed.

"Nonsense! Can you take a few more glances at such a beauty? Lin Yiqing glared at Lin Yizhe, "You kid actually gave it to me after making a heavenly kingdom, do you think my mess is not big enough to see the excitement?" ”

"Wronged, wronged. My sister-in-law. It was adopted by my aunt who was overwhelmed with love. It has nothing to do with me. Lin Yizhe waved his hand again and again, "I am also a 'victim'." ”

"Humph! I think you already knew! You did it on purpose, don't pretend here! Is there a secret about her? You kid give me an honest explanation! Lin Yiqing looked at Lin Yizhe's repeated arguments, but he was still not at ease, and continued to ask.

"I really don't know about this, I can't tell her what secrets she has." Lin Yizhe spread his hands helplessly, "I don't know if anyone else knows about her." If it gets out, my uncle will be in trouble. ”

"It's hard to say, I think someone knows about her." Lin Yiqing told Lin Yizhe about his dream of Li Xiangtian and the little girl named Huang Zhengrong, "This matter will definitely be exposed one day in the future, and it will be a big trouble." ”

"This is really troublesome, you can watch it when the time comes! If she really can't do it, let her hide overseas. She was a kind girl, she had always been kind to my aunt and uncle, and I had been very good if I lived, no matter what had happened. I will definitely help her block it," Lin Yizhe's face became extremely solemn. "In any case, she herself is innocent, and the tragedy of that era should not be borne by her alone."

"If you were alive, what would you do to help her stop her if it leaked to the hostile forces?" Lin Yiqing frowned and said, "This matter is not easy to handle, if you don't get it right, you will be killed." ”

Lin Yizhe pondered for a while and said: "If I were alive, I might use the method of 'exchange of interests' to urge the Empress Dowager to pardon her, and if she is really loyal to the king, I may ask the Empress Dowager to allow me to use her to recruit the remnants of the Heavenly Kingdom in exile in exchange for her life." However, if this is to be done, it is very difficult and very risky......"

"Okay, I'll try it then!" Somehow, Lin Yiqing thought of Li Sizhu's autumn water-like eyes, and had the urge to protect her.

"Be careful." Lin Yizhe sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

The two talked for a while, and Lin Yizhe smiled and said to Lin Yiqing: "Okay, I should go, and you should wake up." ”

"Okay, let's go. But when I need you, you must come back! Lin Yiqing looked at Lin Yizhe, and somehow, he really had a feeling of brotherhood.

"I will always be there when you need it, until the day you succeed." Lin Yizhe smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

Lin Yiqing held his hand hard, and at this moment, Lin Yizhe's figure disappeared in an instant.

The surroundings fell into darkness all of a sudden, and after a while, a dim light came, and Lin Yiqing couldn't wait to look at the light, and saw Natalia's beautiful face with tears but a smile.

"General Lin is awake! I'm going to report to the king! Ye Chuyao's happy voice came, followed by hurried footsteps.

"You're finally awake......" Natalia said excitedly in Russian.

Lin Yiqing looked at the window in the distance, the bright moonlight was shining through the window, and the moon was full of moonlight, and he realized that it was already late at night.

"You've been here to take care of me?" Lin Yiqing looked at Natalia with a haggard face, knowing that she had been guarding her bedside, and couldn't help but be very moved.

Natalia nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Why cry? ......" Lin Yiqing smiled and stretched out her hand to gently wipe away the tears on her face.

I don't actually have much to do with her, but her performance at the moment seems to be like a relative.

"I don't know what's wrong with me......" Natalia shook her head with a tearful smile, "I'm so happy to see you wake up......"

She couldn't help but hold his hand, and Lin Yiqing felt the warmth from her soft fingers, and her heart warmed up.

"The war is over, rest well......" Natalia looked at him gently, "stop thinking about those things related to the war......"

"Okay." Lin Yiqing smiled happily and turned his gaze out the window with her.

Under the moonlight, the bay in the distance is quiet and peaceful.

At this moment, Lin Yiqing is in the Ryukyu Imperial Palace, enjoying his rare peaceful time, at this historic moment, the conversation between the two just now also marks the end of the Japanese Southwest War. Although at this moment, there are still sporadic squads of samurai in various parts of Kyushu Island who continue to fight against the Japanese government and Russian forces, and the samurai of Satsuma are born to fight. They were educated as samurai from an early age. It is considered noble and honorable to fight and die for it. So none of the samurai wanted to surrender. The Japanese soldiers, who were civilians, vented their grievances against the samurai and tortured them in heinous ways. These civilians, like the samurai, did not really know what war, fear, and death were until they died.

The Southwest War was a crucial war in the history of East Asia and the world, which profoundly affected the historical trend of East Asia and the world. The Southwest War was originally a large-scale war fought by the Meiji government against the rebel clan in order to stabilize the country, develop capitalism, and eliminate feudal resistance. Its outbreak is by no means an accident of history, but has a profound historical cause.

Under the conflict of interests between the Meiji government and the gentry, various contradictions gradually intensified. Eventually, it developed to an irreconcilable level, leading to the outbreak of the Southwest War. The fundamental reason for the outbreak of the Southwest War was that the reforms implemented by the Meiji government violated the interests of the noble class, and aroused strong resentment and resistance from these fallen stalwarts. The nobles were meritorious in overthrowing the shogunate, and it stands to reason that the government should respect their interests. However, with the introduction of the Meiji government's policy of "returning the copyright" and "abolishing the feudal domain" and "abolishing the feudal domain", the gentry lost their political rights. The abolition of the sword order and the implementation of the conscription system deprived the nobles of their military privileges. In the end, the Meiji government implemented the Jinroku public debt system, which deprived the scholars of their economic resources by means of redemption, and violated the bottom line of the interests of the scholars. The anger of many disgruntled scholars eventually turned into a rebellion, and the Gods, Akizuki, and Ogi rebellions broke out one after another, and eventually turned into a large-scale Southwest War.

The struggle between the Satsuma and Choshu factions over the "Korean Conquest Theory" can be said to be the initial cause of the outbreak of the Southwest War. The Satsuma and Choshu domains were the cornerstones of the Meiji regime. The real power of the Meiji government was mainly concentrated in the hands of the two feudal domains. During the Iwakura Mission's visits to Europe and the United States, domestic power was mainly in the hands of the Satsuma faction led by Saigo Takamori. The famous "Theory of the Korean Expedition" in Japanese history is the idea of the Satsuma school. The conquest of Korea can proclaim national prestige. Gain great benefits and be able to find a place for the declining nobles. Moreover, if implemented, the "Korean Expedition Theory" would consolidate the power of the Satsuma faction and expel the Choshu faction from the core of the Meiji government. The Choshu faction, represented by Iwakura Gushi, Okubo Ritsu, and Kido Takayoshi, advocated that Japan urgently needed to follow the example of Europe and the United States and oppose war. The final result of the struggle between the two factions was the withdrawal of the Satsuma faction represented by Saigo Takamori and others from the power circle of the Meiji government. The failure of the "Korean Expedition Theory" dashed hopes for the revival of the Shi clan, which deepened hatred against the Meiji government and the Choshu faction, and sowed the seeds for the outbreak of the Southwest War.

Saigo Takamori was a central figure in the outbreak of the Southwest War. Born into a family of lower-ranking feudal lords in the Satsuma Domain, he was deeply impressed by the hardships of his early childhood and the decline of the late Shogunate, and gradually developed the famous values of "respecting the heavens and loving the people", which was the creed under which he led the middle- and lower-ranking samurai to overthrow the rule of the shogunate and establish the Meiji regime. Saigo Takamori once summarized his political program in "The Legacy of Nanzhou Weng": "The general body of politics lies in Xingwen, Zhenwu, and Linong", and "other Pepsi are based on these three things". As one of the "Three Masters of the Meiji Era" in Japanese history, he made great contributions to the development of modern Japan. During his visits to Europe and the United States, the Iwakura Mission implemented the policy of abolishing feudal domains and prefectures, strengthening the military, developing education, and implementing land tax reform. These measures have been of great help to Japan in consolidating its political power and enhancing its national strength. However, when the interests of the Shi clan were infringed upon, Takamori Saigo, the representative of the Shi clan, took the lead in conquering Han and seeking a way out for the declining Shi clan. After being forced to resign, he returned to Kagoshima (Satsuma Domain), established a private school and a naval school, and took in the children of the Shi clan, turning Kagoshima into a separatist power of the Shi clan. He was not the initiator of the Southwest War, but he was the leader of the gentry in the confrontation with the government. The reason why he chose to be born and die with him in the struggle between the government and the gentry can be summed up in a sentence from Saigo Takamori to Emperor Meiji: "When the situation of life and death is imminent, it is like a private thing, and it is discarded after the matter is decided, which affects morality." He probably knew that the rebellion would not succeed, but he still resolutely sided with the nobles, so when the rebellions of the nobles in various places swarmed, the Kagoshima rebels elected him as their leader, and the Southwest War inevitably broke out.

The "assassination of Saigo" incident secretly carried out by Kawaro Liliang was the fuse for the outbreak of the Southwest War. The successive rebellions of the gentry clans in various regions put great pressure on the gentry clans of Kagoshima. In order to prevent a rebellion in Kagoshima, the Meiji government sent troops to various parts of the southwest to prevent it, and also sent a large number of police-trained spies to infiltrate Kagoshima. Kawaro Toshira's recklessness eventually ignited the anger of the samurai. Saigo Takamori was reluctant to oppose Emperor Meiji. But in the face of the crisis and resistance of his "warrior brothers". The righteous Saigo Takamori could not ignore it, and the assassination of Kawaro Toshira caused a certain blow to his heart, and finally he became the leader of the rebel clan, bringing a two-year-long war to the southwest of Japan, and also went to the tragic road of his own defeat and suicide.

The Southwest War was a large-scale rebellion launched by the Shi clan, which greatly damaged the relatively stable social order in the early years of the Meiji Restoration, brought huge losses to Japan's economic development, and aggravated the suffering of the people in the war zone. The casualties of the government army and the noble clan in the war were enormous. The Meiji government spent a total of 242 million yen on military expenses to quell the rebellion, and these heavy military expenditures prompted the Meiji government to issue a large number of paper money, making the Japanese people the bearers of huge military expenditures. Rising prices increased the economic burden on the Japanese people, and by the end of the war, Japan's economy was on the verge of collapse.

In terms of the scale of the war, the Southwest War spread over most of Japan, and compared with the Boshin War, its scale was much larger than that of the Boshin War. Judging by the duration of the war, the Southwest War lasted almost 2 years (from 9078 (the eleventh year of the Meiji era in Japan. On December 15, Saigo Takamori raised troops from Kagoshima, since 9080 (the sixth year of Dakan Mitsui. The Battle of Shiroyama ended on October 25, the 13th year of the Meiji era), and the number of combatants and casualties was far greater than that of the Boshin War. In the Southwest War, the rebel warriors numbered 240,000 at the most, and the government army assembled 18 brigades and regiments, totaling 210,000 people, and more than 10,000 naval troops, totaling more than 220,000 people. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the 17th year of the Meiji era, the government army suffered 186095 casualties, the Satsuma army suffered more than 126784 casualties, and the Russian army suffered 112385 casualties in the later part of the war. It can be seen that the Southwest War was more tragic than the Boshin War, which collapsed, and both the Meiji government, the rebel clans, and the Russians who wanted to go down the mountain to pick peaches paid a huge price.
