Whether it is Brückny or Gioulai, they are actually characters with heads and faces, under normal circumstances, walking on the street to see a few women lifting their skirts to let them look below, although it is a little unexpected, but such a gaffe is a little too much to say.

Besides, those Japanese women are not beautiful at all, not to mention short, they also have buck teeth, and their short and thick legs are also ugly, especially the white face and red lips, which are like the vampire image of European legends!

Bao Ling glanced over with disdain.

In fact, Bao Ling is a full man who does not know that he is hungry, he is in the Beijing Legation, there are maids to take care of his daily life, sometimes go to the banquet of the princes and ministers, and there is also the opportunity to open the river, and the fleet since the departure of Singapore half a year ago, until the withdrawal in a circle in the Yangtze River, to this day, not to mention women, even female creatures are rarely seen, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, everyone has an urge to explode.

Before coming to China, the idea of the coalition army was very good, they thought that they could cooperate with the Qing army to attack the cities of the Democratic League, and by the way, it was not a sure thing to get some women to satisfy their hunger? But I never expected that when I entered the Yangtze River, I was like a fool, and I didn't even have a chance to go on land, which is almost fatal for Caucasians who have a strong desire ~~!

"Shhhh Commodore Perry, commander of the U.S. East India Fleet, whistled twice with a silk show: "Gentlemen, this is nothing, when my fleet docked in Edo Bay, every day there was an endless stream of Japanese women coming to us, lifting their clothes and skirts to tempt our young men, do you know what price it takes?" ”

"What is it?" An officer from the coalition forces asked urgently.

Perry smiled and said, "It's a loaf of bread, or some old clothes and shoes, and even some Japanese girls don't want any pay, they just come to be happy with us Americans." Our lads were very happy. ”

"Grunt, grunt~~" A series of swallowing sounds sounded, and many people's eyes were filled with irrepressible fanaticism.

But another person asked in disbelief, "Mr. Perry, is this too exaggerated?" Could it be that a Japanese woman would fall in love with an American? Do they understand English? Doesn't love need to be communicated through words? ”

"Love? You're thinking too much. Perry smiled squayly: "The real reason is that we American guys are very big, and Japanese women are very comfortable with grass." So they would rather not have money, which is to blame, and they can only blame the Japanese man for being too small, probably only so big! ”

Perry gave a thumbs up!

"Hahahaha~~" Suddenly a burst of wild laughter came, and Brückny laughed and said: "Mr. Perry, I bet with you that if the Japanese woman sees our Germanic guys, they will definitely turn to the arms of our Prussian boys, because the Germanic guys are bigger!" You don't believe it. We're going to try them right now? ”

Before Perry could squeak, Bao Ling's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Mr. Krucney, the Japanese emperor is still waiting for us in the palace, please remember our mission, if you want to play Japanese women have a chance, hurry up and leave, don't delay." ”

I have to say. The power of Bowling's face is still quite large, after all, Britain was the world's largest power at that time. Although the communist revolution that had broken out a few years earlier had hurt Britain, the greater impact of the revolution was a slow and long-term process, and Britain's position in the international arena remained unshaken for the time being, and Britain automatically had a leading position among the countries that formed the coalition.

"Well, I hope the Emperor of Japan will be more interesting!" Brückny shrugged helplessly. The group had to turn a blind eye to the few Japanese women who were obviously provocative, and reluctantly passed by.

Kyoto is divided into Kamikyo and Shimokyo, with Kamikyo being the center of many noble residences, including the Emperor's Palace, and Shimogyo, Kyoto's main industrial and commercial district and the residence of the common people.

Emperor Xiaoming sat in the Zichen Palace. Waiting for the arrival of the European and American envoys, this is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with slender eyes and a beard under his lips.

The two monarchs and ministers did not speak, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they didn't know how long it took, when someone suddenly called outside: "The envoy of England, Pauling, the envoy of France, the envoy of France, the Mailian, the envoy of North Asia, Perry, the commander of the East India Fleet of North Asia, the governor of the Dutch East India Company, Mount Athothrite, Vice Admiral Fernand of the Spanish Navy, the Prussian envoy Brückeny, the Austrian envoy Gillow, and the Portuguese envoy Kimarão meet you!" ”

"Huh?" The two gentlemen and ministers opened their eyes one after another, looked down, and saw a group of foreigners walking briskly, and they couldn't help but show a faint melancholy in their eyes.

In the past ten years, with the beginning of the forced invasion of the Edo Bay by the fleet led by the American general Perry, which is the so-called black ship incident, the British, the United States and the Russians have continuously invaded Japan, causing various disputes and conflicts.

Today, hundreds of foreign warships landed in Osaka Bay, in addition to Britain, the United States and the Netherlands, Austria, Prussia, Spain and Portugal, this is the rhythm of wolves pounced on the Japanese island!

Guangzhong said in a self-deprecating whisper: "Your Majesty, the foreigners came to Kyoto instead of going to Edo, which at least shows that the foreigners are regarded by Your Majesty as the lord of Japan." ”

During the more than 200 years of the Tokugawa shogunate's rule, the emperor was never allowed to participate in politics, but due to the influence of the Kurofune Incident, in order to reduce the opposition of the feudal domains and shirk responsibility, they proposed to conclude a treaty in the name of the emperor, and made an exception to invite the major names, feudal lords, scholars, and even commoners to give their opinions on the opening of the port.

Although due to the intervention of foreigners, Takaaki saw a glimmer of hope for the emperor to regain real power, but the pressure was also extremely heavy, and if it was not handled properly, it would give the shogunate an excuse to accuse the imperial family of betraying the country, and the question was, the foreigners came violently, and if they didn't give some sweetness and betrayed the country, could they give up?

The Qing State next door is the best example, and the various uprisings caused by the traitors of the imperial court, the Qing Dynasty is about to die.

Hyomyung shook his head bitterly.

In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers, it is actually difficult to distinguish between foreigners, the difference is nothing more than the difference in height, shortness, fat and thinness, and beard color, while in the eyes of foreigners such as Baoling, Xiaoming and Xianfeng, especially Wang Feng, are very different.

First of all, Xiaoming's clothes are very funny in the eyes of foreigners, wearing a big red robe, just like the wedding dress often worn by Chinese marriage, but the sleeves are large and extremely exaggerated, the cuffs can at least fit a fat man, and the trouser tube is also extremely fat, equivalent to the waist of an adult, and the shoes look like a very heavy feeling.

And the most incredible thing is still Hyomyung's hat, with a bare painted lacquer plate erected on the top of the hat, about the height of someone from waist to shoulder, making people wonder what it is used for, or what symbolism it has.

But that's not the point, the focus is on Xiaoming's temperament.

Xianfeng is the lord of the Qing Dynasty, even if it is mediocre and incompetent, but the royal temperament that has been precipitated by more than two hundred years is not covered, walking, sitting and lying has its own majesty, Wang Feng's image is even better, and under the surface of affinity, although friendship does not leave the mouth, wherever he goes, the friendship with a certain country is evergreen, but in fact he is a ruthless character who secretly stabs a knife, European and American powers, who has taken advantage of him?

And Xiaoming is obviously not a grade compared with these two Chinese lords, not only does his appearance give people a sense of being on the stage with a roe head and rat tail, but also may be that the puppet emperor is used to it, and he has no momentum that is not angry and arrogant.

The more such people they are, the more they like them, the purpose of their visit to Japan is to help Japan become strong and become a pawn against China, but no one wants Japan to get out of control after it becomes strong.

It is in the interests of the West that China is divided and chaotic, and it is also in the interests of the West that Japan becomes a loyal dog.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, stepped into the main hall, bowed deeply, and said in turn in Chinese with varying degrees of familiarity: "Her Majesty's Minister in Beijing Bowling, French Minister in Beijing Bourblon, American Commissioner in Beijing Mailian, Commander of the American East India Fleet Perry, Governor of the Dutch East India Company Avoslit Mountain, Vice Admiral Fernand of the Spanish Navy, Vice Admiral Brückney of Prussia, Marshal Giullai of Austria and Governor of Portugal in Macao Kimarão represent their respective governments, see His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. ”

At that time, in East and Southeast Asia, Chinese was widely used officially, and high-level officials from all countries spoke Chinese, while none of the foreigners could speak Japanese, so they used Chinese.

Xiaoming's brows furrowed, obviously dissatisfied, but he couldn't help it, so he had to raise his hand slightly, and also said in Chinese: "No courtesy, please sit." ”

Japan still retains the custom of kneeling, and the foreigners looked at the tatami mats on both sides, and simply ignored it, and sat down cross-legged with a large sword and a golden sword.

In the eyes of Xiaoming, kneeling is the most civilized sitting posture, Japan directly inherited from ancient China, at present this sitting posture has been lost in China, only Japan has been completely preserved, but also shows that Japan is the most orthodox successor of Chinese civilization after the death of the Song Dynasty.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and Takaaki asked, "Welcome to my Kyoto, I don't know why I came all the way to Kyoto?" ”

Bao Ling Zhengse said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Japan, we are here for the life and death of your country. ”

Xiaoming is quite disdainful, no matter how fierce the shogunate is, he will not dare to depose the Japanese imperial family, it has been like this for nearly a thousand years, and recently affected by the situation, there is a move to return to the emperor, how can we talk about life and death? In his opinion, it must be the foreigners who took the lead in blackmail, but he still politely asked: "Please speak clearly." ”

Bao Ling asked, "I wonder if your country has found some strange races in China in recent years?" For example, those with pure black and black and yellow skin are significantly different from East Asians. ”

Hyomyung set his sights on Guangzhong. (To be continued......)
