Yanagihara straightened up and looked out into the crowd, trying to see the eyes, but the owner of the eyes turned away and disappeared into the crowd.

Although her body was completely covered by a black daku, Yanagihara Maeko still saw it, and when she flashed, the fluttering daze was raised, revealing the beautiful figure.

The hurried glimpse in the vast sea of people was fleeting, and Yanagihara Maeko didn't know that at that moment just now, he had already brushed shoulders with death.

"Senior sister, ...... just now" Kuroko was puzzled by Zhu Xueyan once again giving up the attack at the last moment, and after the two met in the depths of the alley, he asked with some hesitation.

"It's too far away." Zhu Xueyan said in a low voice, "Even if you shoot, you can't be fatal." ”

"Oh." Kuroko nodded, "Actually, I wanted to use a musket just now, this is a downtown area, and the crowd was frightened after the gunshot, so we can just take advantage of the chaos to get out." ”

"Your gun is so old that it can only shoot one shot, and if you miss a shot, their guns will be beckoning." Zhu Xueyan said, "Don't hit him when the time comes, but ask him to beat them." ”

"Yes." Kuroko thought back to the scene just now and nodded again and again.

"To deal with him, you still have to have a foreign gun, preferably a plum pistol, which can be hit continuously." Zhu Xueyan thought for a while and said, "I have to get two of them, and there are guns." ”

Hearing that Zhu Xueyan was determined to use a Western pistol against Yanagihara Maemitsu, Kuroko was a little excited, "This matter is wrapped up in me, I'll get two such guns." ”

"This kind of plum blossom pistol is generally carried by foreigners or fake foreign devils, and ordinary people are afraid that they don't have it in their hands, so it's not so easy to get." Zhu Xueyan looked at the sunspot, "What, you have a way?" ”

"At the pawnshop, I have acquaintances." Kuroko smiled and said.

"Pawnshop?" Zhu Xueyan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Heizi's answer.

"Senior sister doesn't know, the Eight Banners Green Camp in this Beijing camp, as long as there is no exercise, many people's guns are in the pawnshop, so that they can get two dollars to spend." Kuroko smiled, "There are all kinds of guns there, there are all kinds of guns, we can pick two, borrow them and return them after using them, they are unaware and safe." ”

Listening to Heizi's words, Zhu Xueyan suddenly realized, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"Okay, that's it."

At this time, Zhu Xueyan would not have thought that the gun she got would not be against Yanagihara Maemitsu, a Japanese, but another person she could never have dreamed of.

Also in another building of the temple, a young scribe was sitting at a table, reading one manuscript after another.

“…… Pei Lun's view, if he wants to stay in Japan, there will be twists and turns, so that the internal and external authorities will not be relieved, so as to open the foundation of self-improvement, and the public will be able to carry out his will in the meantime. …… Recently, there have been many foreign insults, and there is no year. From now on, what is it? Although there is nothing to do in the Central Plains, the night is industrious, and the Chinese and foreign talents are lacking, and the atmosphere is depressed, and the habits of the Shaoguang season have been exhausted. Its flow pole may be passable, the two of them are Gong and Kejing, the battalions of Xianghuai and Huai, and the pillars are on the outer ear. If you don't think about repairing the inside by the outside, and whitewash the banquet, like a house on the fire, you think you are safe, and after the end of a star, it is unimaginable. If the matter is not settled, it is not enough to be a border trouble, and I can use it to manage the border defense, according to the time, to make an exception to the use of personnel, and to avoid any constraints. This year, due to the urgency of the Russian affairs, the purchase of iron ships and the installation of electronic music are clear proof of this. The Beiyang defense army is scattered and undisciplined, and it is difficult to forgive and last, but the public is sorry to take charge of the affairs of the Japanese, then the court will pay the public with the full defense of the Beiyang, and then it is leisure. Standing water divisions, storing warships, eliminating redundant and weak defenders, striking useless generals, regulating the army and simplifying weapons, and holding on to the Japanese,...... With the talent of the public, the left and the right can be seen immediately. …… Pei Lun vainly wants to run the public with all his might, and once he is in power and hegemony, he can make a turn for the coastal defense and foreign affairs, and as soon as it ends, all the nations of the earth will meet and open up a situation that has never been seen for a thousand years......."

Zhang Peilun looked at the draft of the letter he wrote to Li Shaoquan back then, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Peilun actively planned many things for Li Shaoquan, and his first work was to advise on the Ryukyu issue.

In 9072, Emperor Meiji of Japan secretly ordered Tsunara Oyama to ask the Ryukyus to send an envoy to Tokyo to celebrate in the name of Japan's "Wang Zhengichixin". At the same time, he congratulated the envoys that there should be no Kume Village people (descendants of the Qianguo people) and pro-Qianguo people. Therefore, King Shangtai sent Shang Jian (Prince Yijiang Chaozhi) and Xiang Youheng (Yiwan pro-Fang Chaobao) to Tokyo to celebrate. After Emperor Meiji summoned his envoys, he issued an edict to change the Ryukyu Kingdom to the Ryukyu Domain, and canonized Shotai as the vassal king, officially encroaching on the Ryukyus (the first Ryukyu disposition). The Ryukyu king Shotai sent people to ask for help from the Qianguo, but Li Shaoquan and the Qianguo government both believed that they were unable to help the Ryukyu king restore the country, but they also refused to recognize Japan's annexation of the Ryukyus. At that time, Russia occupied Ili, and relations between the two countries were sharply strained. Russia has threatened to send warships to attack the coast and ports of Qianguo. At the same time, Japan took advantage of the fire to loot and suggested that the two countries divide the Ryukyus. Against this background, Prime Minister Yamen and the Japanese Minister to China began negotiations on the Ryukyu issue. Prince Jing reported to the imperial court that when the "Treaty of Trade between Japan and Japan" was amended, the Japanese would be allowed to enter the Qian-Japan Treaty for trade and add the clause of "equal access to the country." At the same time, a treaty was signed, and from the first month of the seventh year of Guangxu, the northern part of the Ryukyu island of Okinawa will be returned to Japan, and the southern Miyako and Yaeyama islands will be returned to the Qianguo. When the news broke, "Qingliu" immediately raised their backs. The Qianguo Imperial Court ordered Li Shaoquan to coordinate the overall situation and discuss in detail whether the ball case should be handled according to the General Administration. Zhang Peilun sent a letter to Li Shaoquan, suggesting that the postponement of negotiations on the Ryukyu case should be regarded as a political strategy for developing the navy of the Qianguo.

This is a big plan made by Zhang Peilun. In the letter, Zhang Peilun bluntly said that if he stayed in Japan in the next life, there would be twists and turns, and in the future, the imperial court "will definitely pay the public with Beiyang's full defense." In the letter, he also directly reprimanded those in power for misleading the country. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Peilun wrote three letters in a row to Li Shaoquan to continue to give advice. Subsequently, Li Shaoquan published "The Case of Proper Planning", proposing that "today, Russia is in trouble, and it is difficult to take care of the power of China and Earth for the time being." And the Japanese people are demanding. If you allow it, you will suffer a lot of damage, and if you refuse it, you will make many enemies. However, one of the methods of delay is the most appropriate. He advocated that "the iron armor should be purchased quickly, the ships and weapons should be gathered, and the sailors should be trained, and even if there is no expedition across the sea, Japan's arrogance should be calmed down a little." As for the Ryukyu case, it was originally scheduled to be approved by the imperial pen, and the treaty would be renewed within three months, and news on Russian affairs could be investigated. If the Russian affairs have been agreed within three months, they will not be approved. In the complex environment of the intersection of Chinese and foreign contradictions, and the fierce debate between the "clear streams" and the conservatives within the imperial court, Li Shaoquan and Zhang Peilun were able to join forces and quietly shift the focus of the controversy to the topic of developing the navy.
