Chapter 188: Meiji Restoration (4)
Chapter 188: Meiji Restoration (4)
Around the time of the Meiji Restoration, Osaka was the most commercialized city in Japan, and it was once known as "Osaka shook and the princes were terrified" because the merchants here had too much wealth in their hands.
The Meiji Emperor relied on Osaka's financial superiority to arm his army.
The second day of arrival at the P129 plane. Huang Xuan rode his fourth horse through the gates of Osaka.
Tokugawa Yoshiki had fled back to Edo early, and Huang Xuan had once again missed the shogun, but he didn't value this inevitable defeat very much now - he was like Chiang Kai-shek on the mainland, no matter how he supported, not only the Japanese abandoned him, but even the British turned to support Meiji.
After entering the city, Dian Wei did not hesitate at all to leave his pony near the city gate, and walked in by throwing his hands and feet, it seemed that he was fed up with this dog-like horse. Huang Xuan smiled and walked in.
At this time, Osaka did not see the appearance of the war "chaos" at all, except for the more samurai with swords on the street, the shops in the street market were still open normally, but the pedestrians were a little hurried, Huang Xuan compared it privately, but it was not much faster than modern Tokyoite.
Walking along a row of small doors, I faintly heard the elongated singing, listened carefully, and couldn't understand what was singing, let Huang Xuan describe it by himself, it was Peking Opera-like Japanese.
"What's up ahead?" Huang Xuan grabbed a pedestrian and asked, he originally wanted to see in Osaka, whether there were British and French businessmen or soldiers, since the opening of the Black Ship, Britain and France gradually became an important political force in Japan before and after the Meiji Restoration, since the shogun's road has been impassable, he always has to try other directions.
"It's Kabuki." The one who was pulled was a middle-aged Japanese man with a cannon in the sky, with the same short figure of five and a squeaky voice.
The kabuki in Huang Xuan's impression is an old Japanese opera painted with a white face, and he suddenly lost interest, and the man saw that Huang Xuan still didn't let go, so he had to continue to explain: "It's the kabuki performance of the Nakamura Utaku family, and even the people of the Mitsui family will come to see it." ”
"Mitsui?"
"yes." The man nodded, his eyes constantly aimed at Dian Wei, obviously the height ratio of the villain was more intimidating.
Huang Xuan let go of the man, threw him away, and then asked, "Lorraine, what is the relationship between this Mitsui family and the Mitsui Foundation?" ”
"It is the predecessor of the Mitsui Foundation." Lorraine's answer was clear.
Huang Xuan smashed his mouth, he has long known that the history of Japan's old consortium is very long, and now he understands that if it is in China, it will have to start with the Westernization Movement, which will last for 200 years, and it is almost inseparable from a dynasty.
Thinking like this, Huang Xuan became curious and walked in the direction of the flow of people.
What is being performed is "The Words of the World" Kyogen, that is, a story drama that describes the life and love of ordinary people, which is also suitable in a place like Osaka, but Huang Xuan can neither understand nor understand, and after listening to Lorraine's translation of a few sentences, he quickly became bored.
Dian Wei didn't understand even more, he probably felt that the surroundings were crowded, and he shook his body in irritability, and accidentally knocked several people around him to the ground.
With such a tall body, coupled with such movements, Dian Wei was immediately noticed by the people in the center of the stands.
It was home to Osaka's top merchants, and a thin old man bowed his head and said something, when he saw a group of samurai rushing over.
Huang Xuan coughed and thought: As a bodyguard, I don't know whether to protect myself or cause trouble.
At this time, it was nonsense to say anything, and those samurai were not ready to speak to them, in front of hundreds of people, they pulled out their knives and rushed over, Huang Xuan was scratching his head there, and he didn't know if this was due to the Japanese atmosphere or the civil war.
Dian Wei was really in a bad mood for the past two days, not to mention that he had not eaten enough, he was still riding a lean horse on the road, and at this moment he saw a group of big monkey-like people rushing up, twisting his mouth, turning around and rushing up.
Strictly speaking, these Japanese swordsmanship is still very good, Japan during the Warring States period, gave birth to many swordsmanship, the most familiar to Chinese, probably Kamizumi Nobutsuna and Yanagi Zongyan (master and apprentice), many martial arts, there will also be a certain figure of Shangquan and Liu Sheng, and these two, according to the customs of the time, have served as teachers and bodyguards for the "official family".
Of course, the status of Japanese merchants at this time was still quite low, but their economic strength far exceeded that of anyone on this island, and in this special period, it was enough for them to recruit a lot of samurai.
Huang Xuan couldn't understand these martial arts and swordsmanship, in his eyes, Dian Wei was just opening a pair of big dustpan hands, swinging left and slamming, throwing the warriors who were stepping on small steps out of the field, snatching a knife from time to time, and it was immediately bloody.
This reminded Huang Xuan of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the last scene of Dian Wei was to stand in front of the gate and block all the soldiers who came to attack.
It's just that the result is too sad.
"Lorraine, don't let Dian Wei get hurt." Huang Xuan instructed and stood here with peace of mind.
The thin old man on the high platform, as well as the people around him, were also paying attention here.
In fact, modern people are easy to distinguish between Japanese, Koreans and Chinese, especially the little girls and little boys who have watched more Japanese dramas and Korean dramas, just by glancing, they can say disdainfully: "Mainland." Or pretend to scream, "It's a new TBS film?" I didn't even see it. ”
Therefore, these Mitsui families and nearby businessmen are actually easy to find that Huang Xuan and Dian Wei do not look like Japanese.
During this period, although Japan was also closed to the rest of the country, there were two countries that could pass: the Qing Dynasty and the Netherlands, and in 1853, after the opening of the Black Ships, Japanese merchants could see more races, but I don't know what the current situation of this plane is.
There were bursts of miserable screams in his ears, Dian Wei had also been away from the Three Kingdoms for several months, maybe there was no time, Cai Wenji and Diao Chan could understand TV, but he couldn't understand it, so he hadn't seen the kind of small strong player who could get up countless times once he threw it out, at least the market hooligans who were thrown out under his hands were rarely able to get up twice.
Even if it's the small universe explosion in the comics, it can't be done.
So the later it gets, the fewer people surround Dian Wei.
Of course, at the beginning, there were people around Huang Xuan, and Dian Wei didn't care, he had the impression that the "lord" could still single-handedly challenge Lu Bu, the master who fought in and out of the army. It's actually not wrong to think like this, when Lorraine is there, Huang Xuan can indeed do it.
Therefore, when some ronins or samurai chose the wrong object and found Huang Xuan, the sword did slash at him, but it had no effect except to make Huang Xuan angry.
How can Huang Xuan not be angry, as long as he leaves his plane and smashes a machete on his body, it is a matter of 100,000 yuan, these Japanese knives are good workmanship, and they cut hard, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 3 times the level of machetes, it is 3 times that of 100,000 yuan, and there are still many knives, even if they are billionaires, sometimes they feel painful.
In this way, Huang Xuan said angrily: "Lorraine, aren't you going to thunder?" You smash them to death with a mine. ”
"1,000,000 a thunder." Lorraine explained without arrogance: "Thunder has high requirements for voltage, hundreds of thousands, millions of volts of voltage are very low, and this thing is area killing, conductive 'sexual' killing, you can see that trees will be split, it is useless to protect with resistance." So if you put it next to you, it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for protection. ”
Huang Xuan's eyes widened when he looked around, and more than a dozen faces were "exposed" to the incredible little Japan, and he gave up: "There is no simple way to protect it?" I just watched them smash me like this? "Because there is no wound, even if it is too knife, it can only be regarded as a smash.
"How about electric shocks?" Lorraine's solution is still there.
Seeing that a new round of 300,000 was about to fall again, Huang Xuan didn't care about it, and immediately said: "Just it." ”
Someone didn't believe in evil, so he swung his knife again, and an arc flashed, and the whole person stood up with his claws like a roast chicken.
Call again.
A few ronins with wooden handles were better, they didn't have the money to wrap the handle of the sword or katana with an iron ring like a samurai, and finally they weren't as ugly as the guys twitching on the ground, but they looked around, and some didn't understand the situation, in fact, they might have been scared stupid.
"Can you be more proactive?" Huang Xuan is addicted to playing.
"Use your index finger, I'll make you a terminal magnetic "sex" insulation, where you point, the current will go, the distance is 30 centimeters."
Huang Xuan looked at his right index finger at this time and said, "Am I considered a superman like this?" ”
"10,000 yuan at a time." Lorraine was clear.
Get. Huang Xuan nodded, feeling that he could still consume, and he could also eliminate several divisions by paying off a month's interest. Seeing a few more ronins holding swords, I didn't know what to do, so I simply bent down, stretched out his right hand, and pointed at a samurai on the ground.
The flesh conducts electricity.
A ronin who stepped on someone's hand was secretly glad, but his whole body suddenly went numb, and the whole person seemed to be out of control.
The samurai who was the conductor on the ground was even more miserable, and he was directly incontinent, and a foul smell came out.
Huang Xuan covered his nose and stood a little farther away, and the people next to him retreated one after another, and no one dared to get any closer to him.
The sound of "popping" came, and at this time, someone was playing the drum with the beat of Kabuki, and Huang Xuan looked up and saw that it was the thin old man.
