Chapter 12: Ouchi's Secret Agent

Listening to Saigo Takamori's words, Lin Yiqing's back suddenly oozed cold sweat.

According to the history of the original time and space he knew, after the "Peony Society Incident" occurred, the Qing court sent Shen Baozhen to take ships into Taiwan to inspect, and Li Hongzhang also sent Tang Dingkui of the Huai Army to follow Shen Baozhen into Taiwan to guard against the Japanese army, but the two sides did not exchange fire, and the Japanese army only suffered a few casualties when attacking the people of Taiwan, and most of the people died of epidemics; The losses of the Qing army were also mainly caused by the epidemic, and there was no direct fighting between the two sides and no casualties.

But now, according to Saigo Takamori, not only the army of the two sides has exchanged fire, but the navy has also fought, and both sides have suffered casualties and ship losses.

"I'm really here for Japan." Lin Yiqing settled down and hurriedly replied, "For Japan, that is, for the country." ”

"For Japan is for the dry country?" Saigo Takamori was stunned.

"Japan and Qianguo face each other across the sea, they are originally friendly neighbors, and both are harassed and persecuted by the West, and both countries are committed to the way of strengthening the country, and both have made improvements. However, Lucia is a country of tigers, wolves and bears, and has been trying to annex East Asia for a long time, and Japan and the Qianguo are both threatened by it, and should have joined forces to fight the enemy, but today, Benxin has not been practicing the Western art of war for a long time, and there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are only a few warships. Fortunately, the military disaster has been resolved, and the cadres are willing to pay the military expenses in order to seek reconciliation between the two countries, and the reason why the cadres endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens is not because they are afraid of Japan, but because they do not want to make their relatives painful and their enemies happy. Lin Yiqing said.

Listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Saigo Takamori's face changed slightly.

"For Japan is to be a dry country, and it is precisely for the sake of the two countries to join forces. However, the current Japanese government, controlled by treacherous villains such as Okubo and Yamagu, is gradually leading Japan astray. If Japan continues like this, it will inevitably raise an unknown army in vain in the future to attack the Qianguo country, and even go so far as to use all kinds of military force, and it will be an endless hell for the people of the two countries. Lin Yiqing continued, "In the next round of watching the Japanese heroes, the only one who can turn the tide is Mr. Nanzhou." It is to come without presumptuousness, and if it is rude, I hope Mr. Nanzhou will forgive me. ”

After Lin Yiqing finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Xixiang Takamori.

Saigo Takamori bowed in return, and when he looked at Lin Yiqing again, his eyes were no longer as sharp as just now, but more surprised and approving.

"In this way, Han Peng is not an ordinary Qianguo businessman." Saigo Takamori smiled and said, "I saw Hanpeng with short hair, in fact, I have already guessed a little, you must know that the merchants who come to our country to do business are all from the Central Plains, and the Bo people are engaged in business, but it is the first time I have seen it." ”

Saigo Takamori's words shocked Lin Yiqing's heart, he knew that because of the different historical time and space, his lies still had a big deviation!

Saigo Takamori's words show that the current China in this time and space is called the Qianguo, this Qianguo is by no means his historical Great Qing State, this "Great Qianchao" seems to be a regime established by a minority minority, but this minority is not Manchu, but called "Boren", he said that the Qianguo "Central Plains people" should refer to the Han people, and the "Bo people" seem to have short hair as the main hairstyle, similar to the hairstyle of modern Chinese, unlike the historical Qing Dynasty, which mainly wore braids, and did not engage in business, and may not engage in industry!

"Hehe, Mr. Nanzhou is really powerful, no matter how I cover it up, I will always be unable to escape Mr. Nanzhou's eyes." Lin Yiqing smiled and said, "Since Mr. Nanzhou understands, I won't explain more, I just want to tell Mr. Nanzhou clearly, I am indeed here for Mr. Nanzhou, for the future of Japan and Qianguo, and what is my identity and who ordered me to come, I think Mr. Nanzhou can guess, but I can't tell Mr. Nanzhou, Mr. Nanzhou can also send someone to the consulate of Qianguo to find out my origin, but I can tell Mr. Nanzhou that you can't find any results." ”

"I should have understood that with Hanpeng's skills, he should be from the inner court, hehe." Saigo Takamori also laughed, "I can't figure it out if it's someone from the 'Yu Bei Office', right?" ”

Preparedness? What's this stuff? It can't be a "sticky rod", right? Lin Yiqing was secretly funny in his heart, but on the surface, he was smiling and silent.

"Since Hanpeng is inconvenient to say, I won't ask more." At this time, Saigo Takamori had already identified Lin Yiqing's identity, and he didn't ask any further, but asked, "Hanpeng's mission here is to persuade me to be an enemy of my government, right?" ”

"Lobbying is one thing, as for whether Mr. Nanzhou listens or not, it is not up to me to decide." Lin Yiqing said quietly, "Actually, my first task is to keep Mr. Nanzhou safe." ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Saigo Takamori's face turned pale, and the slender eyebrows of Chiho Kirino, who had always been quiet and calm, also raised.

"Mr. Lin is saying that someone wants to be unfavorable to Mr. Nanzhou, right?" Chiho Kirino gently served Lin Yiqing a cup of freshly mixed tea and asked in a low voice.

Her voice was still soft and pleasant, but Lin Yiqing could feel that she seemed to be a little uneasy.

"Exactly." Lin Yiqing nodded, at this moment he had already planned to carry out the "flickering" to the end, "I lay down and stopped Mr. Nanzhou, the purpose is also to remind Mr. Nanzhou." ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Chiho Kirino seemed to remember something, and her face was slightly red.

In fact, Lin Yiqing's words are not a fool, since Saigo Takamori resigned and retired, the Meiji government has not been completely at ease with him. Because there were quite a lot of people who followed him, such as famous generals such as Kirino Toshiaki and Shinohara Kunikan, who used to hold important positions in the Japanese Army, they all resigned after Saigo Takamori went into hiding, and followed Saigo Takamori. Saigo Takamori returned to Kagoshima and used his money to establish a "private school" with the motto of "respecting the king and compassion for the people", teaching a variety of disciplines and techniques such as scripture and history, Western studies, martial arts, and even infantry and artillery, which was actually a samurai education and training system independent of the government. In this way, no matter what his intentions were, Saigo Takamori at this time was already on the road of no return to wrestle with the new Meiji government that he had personally established. The new Meiji government was even more suspicious of Saigo Takamori, and one of the precautionary measures taken by Okubo Ritsu, who had always admired the Prussian prime minister Bismarck and firmly believed that "it is better to eliminate one good than one evil", was to send spies to Kagoshima through the police system it had established to monitor Saigo Takamori's movements at all times so that they could be eliminated at any time if necessary.

"Hanpeng said so frankly today, do you know that I have no other way out?" Saigo Takamori asked with a sigh.

"The truth in this, with Mr. Nanzhou's great talent, in fact, I don't need to say it, I can figure it out." Lin Yiqing replied.
