"You are just a mouthful of tongues, but Mr. is a hero." Saigo Takamori smiled and turned back to greet his subordinates and said, "Come on, dress Mr. Lin." ”

Lin Yiqing saw a servant warrior answer, and quickly ran to the small shoulder behind Saigo Takamori's shoulder, and whispered something, Lin Yiqing saw that the small window curtain of this small shoulder was lifted, revealing the graceful side profile of a young woman.

The young woman whispered a few words, and one of her maids stepped forward, took out a set of clothes from the cage (presumably for Saigo Takamori's equipment change), and handed it to the servant samurai, who held the clothes in both hands, respectfully came to Lin Yiqing's side, unfolded the clothes, and put them on Lin Yiqing's body.

"Mr. Lin is here, I don't know what to say?" Saigo Takamori asked.

"The title of Mr. is ashamed, if the general is not seen, just call me Hanpeng." Lin Yiqing said.

The word "Hanpeng" was actually improvised by Lin Yiqing in a hurry, because he knew that whether in Japan or in China (now it is probably called Qianguo), in this era, people do not call each other by their official names, but by calling each other by their names and aliases, so the importance of the words and aliases is no less than that of names. Like Saigo Takamori's alias "Nanzhou", when others call him respectfully, they are all called "Mr. Nanzhou".

The reason why he called himself "Hanpeng" is because his code name in the army is "Dapeng No. 1".

"Hanpeng is polite." Saigo Takamori also politely said, "I don't dare to be a general, so Hanpeng will call me Nanzhou Weng." ”

"Mr. Nanzhou, I am not here to do this, not for the people who are in your country, but also for Mr." After Lin Yiqing got dressed, Zhengse said.

"I want to hear about it." Saigo Takamori's face is dignified.

"Mr. Nanzhou has always been known for loving the people, and in the past, he used to speak up for the people, why do he indulge his subordinate warriors to bully civilians so much today?" Lin Yiqing asked, "If I were a civilian in your country today, and I inadvertently collided with my husband's public opinion, would I be in a different place now?" ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's direct rebuke, Saigo Takamori did not have the slightest anger, and even nodded again and again.

Because he understood what Lin Yiqing was talking about.

In the first year of Japan's Kohwa, Saigo Takamori served as the "county scrivener", that is, the clerk's allowance for the office that was in charge of agricultural administration. Since the prefecture was in charge of collecting annual tribute (taxes) and had to go out frequently to run errands, when Saigo Takamori was appointed as the county magistrate, the prefecture was appointed by Sakita Taiji Uemon Toshiji. Sakuda was a well-known hardcore among the samurai of the castle and had a great influence on Saigo Takamori.

Once, when he saw the misery of the peasants under the heavy taxes, he angrily wrote on the door of the government office: "Worm insect insect よいつふし草の根を断つな断たばおのれも共に枯れなん" ("Worm, worm, don't bite off the grass roots, if the grass roots are broken, everyone will wither together!"). Here, "worm" is an allusion to servants, and "いつふし草" refers to farmers who have suffered greatly from heavy taxes), and then they leave their posts.

This passage expresses the conviction that the foundation of the country is the peasantry. If the servants imposed excessively high taxes on the peasants, they would inevitably lead to their own destruction. Saigo's knowledge and experience in the field of agriculture began to be used by the feudal lord Shimazu Saibin, who embarked on a path to political and reform activities.

From then on, Saigo Takamori linked the fate of the peasants and low-ranking samurai to himself. Because he was originally from the lower samurai class on the verge of bankruptcy, and he had served as a low-level official for a long time, he had a certain understanding and sympathy for the lower class people, and he had a deep understanding of the political decay at the end of the shogunate, so he later embarked on the path of reform.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan promulgated the law of "equality of the four peoples", and the rule that civilians should kneel when they saw a samurai was no longer in the past, but in the Satsuma Domain, where the conservative forces were strong, samurai bullying civilians still happened from time to time. This was also true among the samurai, and during the shogunate period, there was a strict hierarchy among the samurai, divided into "village soldiers" and "castle corporals", etc., and although the "village soldiers" were samurai like "castle corpora", they were lower in rank. When the "townsmen" arrived in the city, they were often beaten up by the arrogant "city corporals" for no reason. The reason why Saigo Takamori did not prohibit this, and admitted and allowed this situation to continue, was because he knew very well that there could be no harmony between the two. In Lin Yiqing's view, although Saigo Takamori is a generation of heroes, his vision is still narrow. Because Saigo Takamori opened a private school, most of the backbones he relied on were people from "city corporals".

The reason why Lin Yiqing is so clear about this period of history is that he is not only a soldier of the special forces force, but also a history enthusiast, especially concerned about the modern history of China and the world.

It's just that he never thought that the historical knowledge in his mind, which seemed completely useless in his original era, would play an extremely important role in another time and space.

Seeing that Saigo Takamori didn't answer, Lin Yiqing smiled and said: "Maybe I blamed Mr. for being wrong, Mr.'s subordinates just made a move on me, is it because I am a Qianguo person, Japan sent troops to Taiwan, and the two countries met each other?" ”

Hearing Lin Yiqing's words, Saigo Takamori's face changed slightly, and the faces of the warriors around him also looked a little unbearable.

If Lin Yiqing's first remarks are a bit far-fetched, these second remarks are indeed to the point.

When Lin Yiqing crossed over to Japan, Japan took the incident of the robbery and murder of the Ryukyu drifters in Taiwan in the past as the starting point, pretending that the Ryukyus were its subject country, and sent troops to conquer the people of Taiwan, but the Qianguo government promptly dispatched troops to stop it, and the navy and army of the two sides fought in Taiwan, causing losses to each other, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and sick deaths in the war, and even Saigo Komichi, the commander of the army, was also killed. For a time, not only did the Japanese samurai hate the Qianguo government, but the Japanese people also hated the Qianguo businessmen and people in Japan. It was only natural that after meeting Lin Yiqing, a naked traveler, it was natural to draw a knife and face each other.

It's just that they didn't expect that they would plant such a big heel in the hands of this Qianguo person.

"Mr. Lin, you can still see the legacy of the ancestors of the Qianguo." Saigo Takamori sighed, and Lin Yiqing couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Saigo Takamori's words of reverence for the ancestors of the Qianguo.
