The port of Nagasaki belongs to the Hizen country of Kyushu, and the land of Kyushu has always been the world of the Tozu family, from the beginning of the Warring States period, the Tozu family will shock the southwest, the Satsuma samurai bravely crowned the three armies, and the Ming Dynasty won the decisive victory in Korea that year, and the Kyushu army of Shimazu Yoshihiro was the main force of the invasion of Korea.

However, the Hizen Domain has always been under the control of the Nabeshima family, and the current 10th feudal lord Naomasa Nabeshima, known as Kensuo, is a founder of the country, and before the signing of a treaty of trade with the United States, he secretly banned the feudal domain, and made a large amount of profits through smuggling trade to make up for the financial deficit of the domain.

Naomasa Nabeshima advocates orchidology, that is, Dutch studies and Western studies, and is also known as the "Orchid Daimyo" because he is very keen on medicine and Western studies; Seven years ago, he made his first Western-style iron cannon in Samoto and devoted himself to strengthening the armament, and although he advocated the founding of the country, he was always neutral in the struggle between the Shoguni and the founding faction, and the struggle between the daimyo and the shogunate, and was called "Hizen Yokai".

Nagasaki is directly under the jurisdiction of the shogunate, guarded by the Hizen Domain and the Chikuzen Domain in turn, and the garrison in Nagasaki today is under the Nabeshima Army, equipped with a certain number of foreign guns, but after all, it is only one hundred and ten people, and it was soon wiped out by the Chinese infantry in the earthen castle, and a Western iron cannon and several earthen cannons were captured.

The Chinese also spilled their men and went to various nearby Karato towns (markets) to demand that all Chinese merchants retreat to Nagasaki so as not to be retaliated against.

By the time Zhang Youcun landed on the land of Nagasaki Port, the Chinese rifle team had firmly controlled the situation, and there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in the town, and all the people who said that they were ordered to close their doors, otherwise they would be killed.

Zhang Youcun also smiled bitterly, he didn't expect it to evolve into such a situation in the end, the regent's entrustment was to try not to provoke, but now he has to think carefully about how to go next.

Nagasaki is home to about 40,000 to 50,000 people, and the mountain villages and farmhouses are lined up all the way to the top of the mountain, and the hundreds of small islands around Nagasaki form a unique and beautiful scenery.

Under the protection of the armed soldiers, walking on the stone road, looking at the exotic buildings on both sides, various courtyards, wooden houses, those cloth wine flags with Chinese characters, wooden signboards, and osmanthus petals sprinkled like snow, Zhang Youcun sighed softly in his heart, and never imagined that he would set foot on his own land as an invader.

However, Zhang Youcun has now strengthened his conviction that it is feasible to gain hegemony in East Asia and Southeast Asia and expand the living space of the Chinese through force, and it will be the most effective way to enhance national strength.

"Ah......" from a wooden fence yard next to it, ran out of a girl with pigtails, and was immediately caught by several bright bayonets, she screamed, fell to the ground, and then cried in fright, a young woman in a pink kimono lost her face, but still mustered up the courage to chase out of the wooden fence door, knelt on the stone road, kowtowed hard, and muttered in her mouth, thinking that she was begging the [***] people to let her daughter go.

Some soldiers had already grabbed the little girl's neck and were ready to stab her to death with bayonets, and some even pointed their bayonets at the young woman, all of whom had experienced bloody battles in China, where would there be mercy, and even the psychology was somewhat different from ordinary people. If it weren't for the first rule of the Pingyuan Army, he would quit destroying silver, and it would be a capital crime to cut off his head, but I am afraid that he would take away the beautiful young woman to Hu Tianhu now.

"Forget it!" Zhang Youcun waved his hand, after all, he was a civil official, and he couldn't see this meeting, although the two violated the ban, after all, they were women and children, and it was an unintentional mistake.

The soldiers obviously didn't buy his account, but looked at the sentry officer who walked beside Zhang Youcun.

The sentry winked, and then the soldiers let go of the little girl, but one of the soldiers kicked the young woman's ass, which was soft and soft, and finally had a good time.

The young woman's face turned pale, and she trotted back to the wooden fence with the little girl in her arms, and then came a cry of grief.

Zhang Youcun sighed in his heart, he knew that although he was tough, the Pingyuan Army, especially some generals of the navy, were tougher than him, and he had always been disgusted by the "weakness" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, especially when he was attacked by himself last night, Zhang Youcun was questioned by a naval general in front of him, why he was beaten passively in circles on the sea, and the general was severely reprimanded by Cao Guangcai.

Military generals and civil officials have always been incompatible, and Zhang Youcun doesn't mind.

Zhang Youcun's official office is located in the former Nagasaki Customs Yamen Courtyard, which is full of small wooden buildings and bungalows in the style of the courtyard, and the stone road in the courtyard connects the scattered buildings together, and there are a few cherry trees, which are full of greenery.

It turned out that all the officials of the Nagasaki Customs had been captured and locked up in a wooden house, but they were very quiet, so they sat quietly in a circle and did not say much to each other.

Brian invited seven or eight people who were well-known in Nagasaki, a few merchants, an official who had worked in the feudal domain, a samurai class, and the owner of the Nagasaki Rangakukan.

These people were all forced to come, and their faces were different, some were angry, some were indifferent, and some were slightly happy.

Zhang Youcun, like them, knelt on the tatami mats, smiled kindly, and said: "Please come here, I ask you to help us maintain the law and order of Nagasaki and restore the normal economic order of Nagasaki. For the sake of the people of Nagasaki, I would also like to ask you to help us maintain local peace. ”

Zhang Youcun already had an idea along the way, to capture Nagasaki, he couldn't do useless work, but he had to bargain with the shogunate, and it was best to reach an agreement with the shogunate to jointly manage Nagasaki, even if it was returned, it would be necessary to open a few ports and sign a trade treaty that would be more beneficial than the Americans.

Now, naturally, Nagasaki should be able to restore normal life and economic order as soon as possible, and it is natural to find some well-known helpers to form a puppet regime such as a management committee, so that Nagasaki's people can easily accept it.

Of course, it is also easy to find the person who helps the Chinese to do things, such as the interpreter in the current room, that is, the person, but after all, he is an idle ronin, there is no appeal, and in the book, fame and status are very important.

After Zhang Youcun finished speaking, he was silent.

Zhang Youcun looked at the owner of the Nalan Academy, Torizu Xiaoliu, who is also said to be a side branch of the Torijin family, but he is very much looked down upon and not respected among the wealthy Torijin family.

"Mr. Totsu, I would like you to be the chairman of the Management Committee."

Tojin Xiaoliu was slightly stunned, his lips moved, but he finally shook his head and said, "I am only a shallow learner in the next year, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take this position." ”

Zhang Youcun said with a smile: "Mr. Torizu is too modest, in fact, Mr. Torizu is the chief member, but also for the emperor's majesty to serve the peace, can protect the safety of the people of Nagasaki, early said to eliminate the misunderstanding between you and me, is the merit of a thousand years, Mr. Torizu for a false name and refusal, too also pedantic, the Buddha said that I don't go to hell who goes to hell, for the people of the country willing to sacrifice their lives to feed the tiger, why fear a small reputation?" Mr. Totsu is a daimyo in Kyushu, so he naturally has great wisdom, and I hope you will seriously consider my suggestion. ”

Totsu Xiaoliu's face changed, and he obviously was quite moved, nodded silently, and said, "Lord Youcun, please give me a little time, let me think about it." ”

Zhang Youcun smiled: "Okay, I hope Mr. Torizu can reply to me as soon as possible." ”

At this moment, I heard the faint sound of gunfire outside, and everyone was stunned, and there was a faint joy on my face.

Zhang Youcun sighed and said: "It must be Naomasa Nabeshima, the daimyo of your country's Hizen Domain, who sent reinforcements to attack, and I really don't know how to resolve this misunderstanding." Although Nabeshima-sama has trained a fire team, first, the technology is backward, and secondly, there are only a few hundred, and the entire Hizen Domain is only 3,000 soldiers. ”

The interpreter translated these words as well, and those who knew that their faces immediately changed greatly, but they did not want to, and the Chinese were so familiar with Nagasaki, Hizen Province, and even Kyushu that they were terrified for a while.

Zhang Youcun stopped talking and tasted tea silently.

Before the tea was finished, the gunfire outside gradually thinned out, and then the door was opened, and the sentry took off his military boots unaccustomedly, walked a few steps, leaned over and said a few words in Zhang Youcun's ear.

Zhang Youcun raised his head and sighed, and said: "A small misunderstanding, but even hurt people's lives, I hope that your country can hand over the culprit of the provocation as soon as possible and eliminate this war." Just now, the foot soldiers of your country's Feiqian Domain have injured dozens of lives, and the rest have been defeated, and more than 100 people have been captured, and they have been ordered to bring the wounded and all of them to be released, which shows that the state of our etiquette is benevolent and righteous. ”

In such a short time, Nabeshima-sama's reinforcements were defeated? These people looked at each other, and they could see the fear and despair in their eyes.

…… When he received Zhang Youcun's letterhead, Ye Zhao was discussing with Admiral Ma Dayong, and when he opened the letterhead, Ye Zhao smiled and gave the letter to Ma Dayong again.

The navy had just captured Nagasaki, and was preparing for a management committee, and was ready to negotiate with the shogunate.

Zhang Youcun also mentioned in the letter that although he was backward in armament, his combat strength should not be underestimated, and a small daimyo of Hizen Province could organize a threatening attack, but because of the special terrain of Nagasaki, it was difficult to attack from the land route, and he said that he did not have warships by sea, so Nagasaki was as stable as a rock, and its population and food revenue were enough to ensure the logistics supply of the navy.

However, there are more than 200 feudal clans in the country, and there are probably twenty or thirty daimyo with the same strength as the Hizen Domain, and some of the feudal clans are much stronger than the Hizen Domain.

Nowadays, it is only because of the regional views of the daimyo that many feudal lords are not enthusiastic about rushing to the aid of Hizen, but if the emperor and the shogunate issue an edict, I am afraid that the situation will be very different, so I ask His Highness to send the navy again to strengthen the momentum, dispel the idea of a decisive battle and surrender without a fight.

Ye Zhao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Tell them to be steady, or make a big fuss." ”

Ma Dayong laughed, and it was not easy to express his opinion.

Ye Zhao said again: "The Dinghai has come back from Vietnam, right?" Seeing Ma Dayong nodded, he pondered for a moment and said: "Sent to Nagasaki, as well as the Zhenhai in Nanjing, will also go, in short, all those who can be mobilized will be transferred, and more ammunition supplies will be transported." ”

Ma Dayong was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhenhai is also going?" "After all, he is defending Nanjing, and I heard that Miao Peilin in northern Anhui is about to move, but he took advantage of it.

"Go for both."

Ma Dayong didn't say any more, bowed down and said, "Yes, the last general will arrange it." ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, there are now more than ten large and small gunboats in the Southern Dynasties, including four capital ships, but it is enough to scare Yue himself. This chip is so abundant, Zhang Youcun will definitely make good use of it.

Ye Zhao summoned Ma Dayong to come because he wanted to hear his opinion on an article in the "Royal Pingyuan Military Daily".

Now that the negotiations with the North are coming to an end, all the Northern forces in Jiangnan have been withdrawn, Zhao Sanbao's Fourth Town has been restored to Song, and an infantry regiment is stationed on the outskirts of Shanghai.

The situation in Jiangnan gradually stabilized, Ye Zhao naturally began to consider the regularization of the army, of course, now, there is no need for any coordination between the arms, the command is all in his own hands, military expenses, martial arts halls, naval training bureaus, and other expenses are all decided by his own words, and they are not restricted by the Ministry of Finance.

However, it is also imperative to gradually improve the central organ of army management, with Ye Zhao in the palace to renovate the staff room, set up the Royal Army and Navy Department, the Royal Army and Navy Generalissimo is the supreme commander of the national army, naturally Ye Zhao is the position, the deputy marshal is the actual executor, then by the fifth town Governor Su Hongniang concurrently, under the Royal Army, there are also army research institutes, naval research institutes, military newspaper institutes, science laboratories, military academy management institutes, military intelligence institutes and other departments.

In fact, Yuan Jiasan had an excerpt and asked the regent to be the deputy marshal, and it was better for the generalissimo of the royal army and navy to be appointed in the name of the emperor, but his excerpt was immediately submerged in the countless excerpts of praise and virtue, and it could not stir up a single wave.

The chief of the general staff of the Army Training Institute is concurrently served by Admiral Shen Bao of the First Town, the chief of the general staff of the Naval Training Institute is naturally concurrently served by Admiral Ma Dayong, and the head of the Military Intelligence Institute is concurrently served by the Director of the Internal Affairs Office, Regis.

The "Royal Pingyuan Military Newspaper" published by the military newspaper is open to the whole army, once a week, and the newspaper is distributed to the team, and each infantry team will spare one night a week to learn to read the newspaper, so naturally the documents on the post are to read, and the illiterate people in the Pingyuan army still account for the vast majority. This is the most important thing in Ye Zhao's plan, and it is very necessary for unifying the thinking of the whole army, and officers at all levels can write articles and submit articles, and they can clearly understand the ideological dynamics in the army.

Ye Zhao showed Ma Dayong the first issue of the "Royal Military Newspaper", four pages, three pages of articles are all calling on the whole army to fight bravely, swearing allegiance to His Royal Highness the Prince Yunyun, all of which are submitted by officers at all levels, this is still Ye Zhaoqiang ordered the military newspaper to change the draft, otherwise the first issue of the military newspaper, I am afraid that they are all articles that swear allegiance, these articles are honestly from the bottom of their hearts, and some write about a certain accidental intersection between themselves and His Royal Highness the Prince, that kind of excitement and excitement, Ye Zhao's eyes are slightly wet when he looks at it, no way, the first issue of the military newspaper, They like to vent, and it's up to them.

It's just that this has to be kept and archived, and future generations will see Mo jokes, but come to think of it, they should understand the special emotions of this special year, right?

Several articles in the fourth edition were driven out by Ye Zhao and the officers of the Naval Training Institute overnight, but he did not want to surprise Ye Zhao, but he was a strategy for attacking East Asia, believing that when the ceasefire with the north was recuperating and recuperating, he should take the opportunity to expand the sea frontier, not to mention that the Japanese and Vietnamese should all be killed or reduced to coolies, and the immigrants should come to Yueben and Vietnam to relieve the population pressure and occupy more resources at the same time.

Ye Zhao scratched his head at that time, there were Nazis who pursued the idea of national extermination in the Pingyuan Army, and if he could write it, it meant that he was not alone in his thoughts, but on behalf of a group of officers, so he thought that there was nothing wrong.

However, it is no wonder that with the strength of the country, various trends of thought such as militarism and imperial expansionism will definitely emerge, and if the sense of honor of soldiers is too strong, it is easy to become war maniacs and warmongers.

Ye Zhaoren revised and published this article, and just showed the original manuscript to Ma Dayong, and asked his opinion with a smile.

Ma Dayong said at the time: "It's not unreasonable. ”

Looking at Ma Dayong's back, Ye Zhao picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.

Sanya took the carriage back to Buxing, Ye Zhao was still pondering about this, his supreme commander of the navy was a Nazi, which was really laughable, and he couldn't complain that the voice of the navy calling for war was getting stronger and stronger, because he was a war maniac at the root.

But it's not a big deal, after all, he will eventually carry out his will, and he will never dare to sneak into any massacres, as long as he beats and beats from time to time.

Shaking the fan, autumn is coming, the weather is still extremely hot, Ye Zhao sighed, Zhang Jinfeng, this bastard, has ruined his good deeds.

After ordering Li Xiaocun's sentence that day, she returned to the cloth line, only to know that Zhu Sisi went to the countryside to inspect the construction of patrol houses and security teams in various counties and townships, and it was an errand entrusted to her by Zhang Jinfeng, director of the Nanjing Patrol and Arrest Bureau.

It's only two nights with Zhu Sisi, and Zhu Sisi is very reluctant to accompany herself, and she is ready to get along with her.

Ye Zhao pondered, should he have a personal vendetta?

Just because he interfered in the battle between Li Xiaocun and Li Hongzhang, there would be no problem in taking him down.

However, Ye Zhao thought about it as a prank, and he would not really withdraw Zhang Jinfeng because of this matter, after all, seeing Ruisi's intelligence, Zhang Jinfeng can be said to be a very capable official.

As for the struggle between Li Xiaocun and Li Hongzhang, the contradiction between the old school and the new school, Ye Zhao naturally watched coldly, the ministers have mountains and fights to be easy to balance, as long as they don't abolish the public because of private affairs, they can let them go.

Thinking about these things, the carriage slowly drove back to the cloth shop, and while shouting to Sister-in-law Chen to fry two side dishes casually, she went back to the house, knowing that she was still screaming on the willow tree, which made people panic.

Ah, when he entered the house, Ye Zhao's eyes widened in surprise.

Jin Feng, with a soft body wrapped in a red cheongsam, convex and backward curved, beautiful legs in stockings, little red high-heeled leather shoes, noble and charming, and the sense of surname is incomparable.

Grandma Jin Er looked at Ye Zhao with a smile, walked up with a twist on her soft waist, gently hugged Ye Zhao, and kissed Ye Zhao on her bright red lips.

Ye Zhao hugged her with a smile and kissed her gently, the little stunner twisted in his arms, twisting Ye Zhao out of breath, and he didn't take a bath, so he picked her up and walked to the big bed...... The gorgeous red bed was rippling, Jin Feng was packed up, and he was afraid of being heard, biting his snow-white Kodan little hand, the red rose-like nails were gently choked by the red lips, "Ah......" The throat spit out a blood-pumping scream, hooking Ye Zhao's fire to a complete explosion, and the best stunner in the arms of the happy conquest is really in response to the sentence of the slut in the bed and the lady under the bed, the ** that is like silk, gently pressed on it makes people soft and crispy, red lips, beautiful legs, cotton feet, long nails, The soft and slender waist that can't be more thin and makes people want to bite down, the whole body is full of magic weapons that make men crazy, gently touching, moaning, and Ye Zhaozhen, who is waiting, enjoys it like a fairy.

The big bed also creaked wildly, and the frequency became faster and faster, like a storm, and people worried that it would suddenly fall apart............ The watery phoenix's eyes slowly opened, and Jin Feng's eyes were like silk, and she bit Ye Zhao's chest, which made Ye Zhao excited.

It was already noon the next day, and there were speckled traces on the paper window through the weeping willows.

"Every time I know how to bully someone." Jin Feng's delicate snow-white Kodan little hand gently caressed Ye Zhao's chest, and her pretty face was attached to it, her eyes were watery, and her voice was extremely soft and charming. Perhaps, some businessmen who don't know her identity and deal with her often fantasize about this seemingly arrogant, noble, cold and vicious little stunner who is being courted in bed, thinking that he can really spend ** with her, it is really worth dying, but if she serves a man, it is really unthinkable.

Ye Zhao smiled: "I miss you." He kissed her beautiful bun lightly and said, "How are you at home?" Did you see our old man? ”

Jin Feng chuckled and nodded, and said: "Ama heard that I was running a business outside, so she blew her beard and glared at me, but she didn't reprimand me, and then I asked Rong'er, Rong'er said that she didn't say anything about me, I think it's probably Rong'er who gave me a relief pill." ”

Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing, and said, "When our old man knows your details, then he will be numb, Rong'er, running around with a small schoolbag on his back; The matchmaker led the soldiers to fight, and her hands were stained with hundreds of lives; Needless to say, the Russians are still on errand at the yamen; Hua Ji, who is timid as a needle, learns some messy science; My dad knows your details, so he has to vomit blood. ”

When Jin Feng spoke, she was quite uncomfortable because her father-in-law didn't like her, and when she heard Ye Zhao say this, she couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this was really the case, and asked, "Dad?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I like to call him that, kindly, but you are also worried, the old man is very simple, and he will be fine slowly." ”

Jin Feng nodded, happily put his pretty face on Ye Zhao's chest, and said: "Lord Wang, after following you for a day, Jin Feng is worth dying, now, Jin Feng only hopes that the prince will live a long life, and Jin Feng's lifespan will be given to the prince." ”

Listening to her true feelings, Ye Zhao didn't squeak and silently hugged her.

After a while, he said, "We all live a long life, and I'm bored myself." ”

Jin Feng snorted and stopped talking.

Ye Zhao said again: "You sleep a little longer, let's go eat later to replenish energy." ”

Jin Feng knew what the energy was about, smiled and buried her pretty face deep in Ye Zhao's arms.

The bell was ticking, and I don't know how many ticks.

Jin Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Listen to Sava said, she recognized a sister? You must have been fascinated by the prince, right? I still want to meet it, Rong'er said, if the person is good, I will help her buy a gift for this little girl, if the person is not good, forget it. ”

Jin Feng naturally called Sister Rong'er in person, even if she mentioned Rong'er to others behind her back, she was naturally called Da Fu Jin, Fu Jin or Sister, just in front of Ye Zhao, calling Rong Er seemed to be close, which was also Ye Zhao corrected her many times before she slowly changed her name, but every time she said the word "Rong'er", her voice was lowered.

"Lord, where is she?" Jin Feng asked with great interest.

Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, no matter what, some of the morals of modern people are still buried deep in their hearts, and they are messing with flowers and grass outside, even if Rong'er and Jin Feng are used to it, they don't take it very seriously, but they still feel a little sorry for them.

In the future, it will converge and converge, Ye Zhao pondered.

"I'm not at home, I'm on business, I seem to have gone to the countryside."

Jin Fengjiao smiled: "Doesn't she want you?" ”

Ye Zhao rubbed his nose and said, "She can't wait for me to die, thinking that everyone is as good to me as you are?" ”

Jin Feng chuckled, although she knew that the prince coaxed her, she was happy.

"I'll squint, Lord Wang, I know that your body is iron, you get up, Jin Feng is waiting for you to dress."

Ye Zhao smiled: "I am reluctant to get up." ”

Jin Feng smiled, leaned softly against Ye Zhao, and slowly closed his eyes.

Ye Zhao also closed his eyes and recuperated, pondering about the matter of the book, pondering the candidates for the two deputy ministers, at this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the sound of footsteps clicked, Ye Zhao was stunned, what did he say? Busy closed his eyes tightly and pretended to be asleep.

"Ahh Screaming, Ye Zhao secretly looked out through the gap in his eyes, but it was Zhu Sisi, a dignified and beautiful black police uniform, a beautiful and youthful female police officer, obviously just came back, at this moment her pretty face was flushed, at a loss, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Jin Feng's watery eyes slowly opened, and then Zhu Sisi turned around and ran out with a smoke, Ye Zhao sighed helplessly, he really didn't want to be a good person in front of her.

"Is that her?" Jin Feng asked with a smile.

Ye Zhao smiled bitterly: "Well, I am a big pervert in her eyes, a bandit bully." ”

Jin Feng secretly pursed her lips and smiled, Ye Zhao glared at her, knowing that she must have remembered the initial situation with herself in her heart, isn't she a wicked person?

Jin Feng gently pulled the long red veil and slowly wrapped around the corset, the cheongsam showed the beauty of the curves, and the corset was better.

"What are you doing?" Ye Zhaoqi said.

Jin Feng smiled and said, "I'll meet this girl, but don't hurt others." ”

Ye Zhao coughed dryly and said, "Forget it, I'll look for her in a while." ”

Jin Feng chuckled and said, "When has the concubine ever done something foolish, you can rest assured." The watery eyes rolled, and then he chuckled, and said: "The concubine understands, it's better for the master to find her, then wait for a while, and the concubine will get together with her again." ”

Ye Zhao rubbed his nose, one head was two big, was this Zhu Sisi his enemy in his previous life?

(To be continued)
