Chapter 112: Help

Youpeng in Shan County has a particularly elegant and beautiful name called "Hanxue", but the things he has done since he was a child have nothing to do with "elegant and beautiful". He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very good at swordsmanship, judo, and marksmanship. As a young man, Yamayama Aritomo heroically participated in the war against the shogunate and made great contributions to the Meiji government. After the Meiji Restoration, the biggest "new revision" in Japanese history, Yama Prefecture Aritomo was sent by the Meiji government to Europe and the United States to inspect the military. After returning to Japan, Yamaguchi gradually took control of the Meiji government's military power, and began to devote all his energy and talents to reforming the military system, and he wanted to build the Japanese army into a strong force like European and American countries.

Yamaguchi carefully pondered the military system he had seen in Europe and the United States, and believed that the Japanese Army should learn from France, which gave birth to Napoleon, the first great man in land warfare, and the Japanese Navy should learn from Britain, which gave birth to Nelson, the first great man in naval warfare.

At that time, most of the soldiers in Japan were feudal soldiers composed of professional samurai, and these guys had never seen much of the world, and their ideological concepts were quite backward, and they were self-righteous. At the suggestion of Aritomo Yamagu, the Meiji government enacted a "conscription order" to recruit soldiers from among the common people of the country, and soldiers were finally no longer limited to samurai as before. As soon as the modern military system was implemented, the strength of the Japanese army immediately increased. In order to make the newly built army "honest and obedient," Youpeng in Yamayama Prefecture has engaged in such things as the "Seven Articles of the "Reading of the Law" for Soldiers", "Instructions for Soldiers", and "Edicts for Soldiers", stipulating that the most important thing for soldiers is to be loyal to the emperor, that fighting for the emperor is the greatest honor, and that dying for the emperor is the greatest happiness. Yama Prefecture worked hard all day to instill the spirit of bushido in the Japanese soldiers, and in this way, under his leadership, the Japanese army became the swords of the emperor, and they could do anything for the sake of the "emperor".

Youpeng in Shanxian is so obsessed with and devoted to military reform, and he also has a soft spot for aggression and expansion, and does his best. After he became secretary of the army, he kept clamoring for the most important thing to "assert the country's strength," that is, Japan had to seize the time to engage in aggression. It was after the proposal of "leviing moss" was proposed, and there were friends in Shan County who gave strong support.

But what he never expected was that the Japanese army would suffer a heavy defeat in Moss Bay.

After the failure of the battle of Moss, Yama Prefecture Aritomo was also criticized from all sides, coupled with the previous Yamashiriya incident, he almost resigned and went home to eat old rice, but Emperor Meiji was very clear about the reasons for the defeat of the war, and he still knew the changes that had taken place in the Japanese Army under the reform of Yama Prefecture Aritomo, so he worked with Okubo Ritsu to protect Yama Prefecture Aritomo, which allowed him to regain his position as Secretary of War.

"Satsuma's army is all old-fashioned samurai, and their tactics are still in the Warring States period! Its combat power is not enough to worry about teeth! All it takes is 3,000 Imperial Army, and you can fight in one go! Yamaguchi noticed that the faces of Kido Takayo, Ito Hirobumi and others were gloomy, and he simply continued to belittle his opponents fiercely, so as to achieve the goal of boasting about the achievements of his reform of the Japanese Army.

"Shanxian Jun, you said at the beginning that you only need 8,000 imperial troops to go to Moss Bay, you can conquer the people, expel the dry army, and include Moss Bay in the imperial territory, but what is the final result?" Kido Takayo's cold voice sounded.

Hearing Kido Takayo's words, Yama Prefecture Youpeng's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

Kido Takayoshi, one of the "Three Heroes of the Meiji Restoration", was also one of the advocates of the "Theory of the Expedition to Korea" (in January of the second year of the Meiji era, Kido Takayoshi suggested to the vice president of the government, Dainayan Iwakura Goshi, that Korea should be the first direction of the revitalization of the country, so as to "determine the lofty overseas goal"), but after studying and examining the political systems of Western countries in Europe and the United States, he opened his eyes to it, and in the sixth year of the Meiji era, he turned to oppose the conquest of Korea and advocated the priority of "internal governance".

To this end, Kido Takayoshi had been one of the plenipotentiary deputy envoys of the Iwakura Diplomatic Mission, and during his foreign visits, he worked to prepare for the revision of treaties and to inspect Europe and the United States. In addition to the progressive culture and military affairs of Europe and the United States, Kido Takayoshi also saw the incompleteness and danger of democracy, and so far, Kido Takayoshi's political stance has changed from an enlightened and progressive to a gradual one, after all, there are too many cultural differences between Europe, the United States and Japan. In addition, Kido Takayoshi felt the necessity of withdrawing the "theory of conquest of Korea" and giving priority to "internal governance", and actively advocated the enactment of the constitution and the establishment of a bicameral parliament, and worked to enrich the education of the people and the emperor. Kido Takayoshi is now personally serving as Secretary of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture, in order to do his best to enrich national education.

And now, the "Takeo of Yamaprefecture" in his eyes has actually issued a clamor for a civil war, which is likely to ruin the future of Japan's peaceful development, how can this not make him worried!

"There are many reasons for the defeat of the Imperial Army's expedition at Moss Bay! It's not all the Army's responsibility! Yama Prefecture Youtomo remembered the last time he had a big quarrel with Kido Takayoon, and hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak as disrespectfully as he did last time.

Although Kido Takayoshi is now the secretary of culture, he still has great influence in the Japanese government, and his words are extremely weighty, and even Okubo sometimes has to listen to his opinions, and the emperor has great respect for Kido Takayoshi, and he has eaten enough of the last loss.

"The gentleman of Shanxian does not know who he is and does not know himself, and he is rash in his words, so he has the loss of Moss Bay. More than 3,000 elite soldiers died in foreign lands, doesn't the county gentleman think that the lesson is not enough? When Ito Hirobumi heard the words of Yama Prefecture Youpeng, he was annoyed in his heart, and he couldn't help but say on the side.

"The reason for the defeat of the Imperial Army is that the navy is not effective in combat, which cuts off the relationship of backup!" Yama Prefecture Youpeng glared at Ito Hirobumi angrily and said loudly, "If it weren't for the poor combat strength of the navy, the Imperial Army would have been able to occupy the entire Moss Bay!" ”

Hearing that Yama Prefecture Youpeng was ashamed to put the responsibility for the failure of the expedition to Moss Bay to the navy, Ito Hirobumi couldn't help but feel angry: "Yama Prefecture-kun, can you say such a thing worthy of the dead Imperial Navy officers?" ”
