on the streets

The cavalrymen of the Royal Guard, dressed in crisp uniforms, patrolled the road in groups of two on tall horses, and when they saw the disorderly display of shops along the street, they would restrain their horses and tell the shopkeepers to correct them immediately.

Under normal circumstances, the shopkeeper immediately takes back the haphazard warehouse and signboard and apologizes to express his gratitude.

The cavalry would raise their hands and salute to thank the merchants for their cooperation and management, and then continue to patrol.

The neat and wide streets are orderly, horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians all drive on the right, and the green divider in the middle of the street is full of flowers, reflecting the high level of urban management.

Prince Fushimi Miya Eihito and Okubo Ritsu roamed the streets, followed by a large number of attendants and samurai, looking quite eye-catching.

They were the first Fuso people to go abroad after the "Iron Boat Incident", and had already traveled to Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain in Europe, and crossed the Atlantic to Richmond on the return journey, and then came to the Tang Kingdom.

The ever-changing development scene seen along the way shocked these two insightful elites of Fuso, who simply subverted the old world outlook and deeply felt the strength of the European and American world.

Especially the Tang Kingdom, which has risen rapidly in North America, has a strong national strength that makes these two Fusang people drool with envy.

Okubo Ritsu, young name Masanosuke, number Jiadong, later changed name to Ritsu. Born in the Satsuma Domain (Kagoshima), Japan, into a samurai family.

Although he was only 28 years old, he was the soul of the powerful elite group of the Satsuma Domain, and the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain, as the two most powerful of the 260 autonomous domains in the entire Fuso Islands, played an important role in the current Fuso Kingdom's brewing movement of "Honoring the Emperor and Conquering the Emperor."

Early 1858

Okubo Ritsu led 1,000 feudal soldiers into Edo, heralding the Satsuma domain's entry into the center of Fuso politics, and he was about to follow Emperor Meiji to launch a vigorous reform movement.

Soon after entering Edo, Okubo Ritsu followed Prince Eihito Fushimi on a tour of Europe, where he witnessed the strengthening and modernization of the European and American worlds, and absorbed useful nutrients for domestic reform.

"Jia Dongjun, seeing all these magnificent buildings and the powerful industrial revolution of steam in front of me made me feel an unparalleled blow. In comparison, Fusang seems to be still in the era of cold weapons, and the big gap is desperate! Fushimiya said in a pessimistic tone.

The glorious Daming Palace and the towering bell and drum tower, the high-spirited and confident spirit of the residents of Chang'an City, the long railway line across the entire North American continent from Richmond all the way to Chang'an City for more than 7,000 kilometers, the ironclad warships cruising in the sea, the steam freighters as big as a hill by the wharf, the endless vast territory and the dense herds of cattle and sheep that cannot see the boundary......

All of this had a strong impact on Prince Fushiminomiya Eihito's old worldview, causing him to have a deep fear and inferiority complex, and he felt reverence, envy, jealousy and hatred for the powerful Tang Kingdom, and his complex emotions were mixed with great emotion.

Compared with His Royal Highness the Prince, Okubo Ritsu has been deeply studying the development history of the Tang Kingdom and all kinds of information that he can access during this period of time, and has a deeper and more thorough understanding of this Chinese power that has risen in North America.

He said with a little reassurance;

"Your Highness, the Tang Kingdom is an emerging country developed by Chinese immigrants in North America in just 12 years, and we have seen where he is strong and advanced.

All this is worthy of serious study and reference by the Fuso nation, and we should send a large number of students and elites to cross the vast Pacific Ocean to learn from the experience.

Believe that time passes

After experiencing the pains of reform, Fusang will inevitably take on a new look, chasing and catching up with the footsteps of the Tang Kingdom.

It will not be long before the Fuso nation will rise to the East with a new attitude, and I myself have no doubt about it. ”

"Listening to Jia Dongjun talk about his ideals is really comforting." Fushimi Palace is not as optimistic as Okubo Ritsu, and his tone is yin and yang.

"Your Highness, what the Chinese people in the Tang Kingdom can do, I believe that the excellent Fusang nation can also do, and they can do it better."

"Yo Xi, it's good to have faith, but it's not necessarily arrogant."

"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"

"Hmph, I don't believe you didn't see it." Prince Fushiminomiya snorted, as an elite member of the imperial family, he had received an extremely strict imperial education since he was a child, read Chinese classics extensively, and was able to skillfully use Chinese poetry as a counterpoint, and had a lot of experience in creating Japanese-style wandering sentences.

Therefore, Prince Fushimigong did not have any obstacle in reading Han classics and newspapers, and during the nearly 20-day train journey, he read a lot of books, and it can be said that he is half of the Tang Kingdom.

Prince Fushiminomiya pointed to the wide, neat street in front of him and said;

"I am truly jealous of the good fortune of the Chinese to be able to occupy such a beautiful and vast North American chosen place and achieve the glorious cause of the Tang Kingdom today.

Objectively speaking, such success cannot be replicated.

After more than 10 years of large-scale exploitation, the gold resources of the American River are now increasingly depleted, but it is better than nothing.

However, the American River has fulfilled its mission given by history, providing enough funds in the early days of the establishment of the Tang Kingdom to arm the country's Chinese residents against three invasions from the powerful United States.

After surviving the existential crisis, the Tang Kingdom developed the world's largest Morunchi copper mine, developed the steel industry and the military industry, and became increasingly prosperous.

The vast and abundant land of North America gave Chinese immigrants the space to fully develop their talents.

Now

The Tang Kingdom has grown into an important member of the international community, ranking among the international powers in strength, showing something worthy of co-optation in the Crimean War in Europe, and gradually integrating into the mainstream society of Europe and the United States.

It is impossible to replicate all this in the resource-poor and small Fusang Island, where we have neither the world's largest copper mine nor the world's largest silver mine, nor the world's unique California oil field, nor the abundant resources that can create hundreds of millions of yuan a year.

Without money, how to develop, how to catch up?

Fuso can't even come up with 1 million yuan in finance, half of the country's population is in poverty, and they can't eat a rice ball every day, how can they arm the army? How to develop industry?

Seeing that the prosperous streets of the Tang Kingdom were lined with restaurants and wine shops, and the wealthy residents here were able to eat meat and drink a lot, even in the high-level of Fusang Kingdom, they did not dare to be so extravagant.

The resources of the North American continent are so abundant that people are maddened with envy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is gold everywhere.

You talk about all this, how does Fuso catch up? ”

His words made Okubo Ritsu's face heavy, and he was speechless for a long time.

A moment later

Okubo Ritsu let out a long sigh and said with a gloomy expression; "Your Highness, perhaps the great Fuso nation is destined to be able to trek through suffering, which is really painful and has to be faced.

Seeing the prosperity and vast territory of the Tang Kingdom, people are crazy with jealousy, but they have to face the reality.

I admit that what His Highness said is very reasonable, the rise of the Tang Kingdom cannot be replicated, there is no other rich land comparable to the North American continent left for us, and the road ahead is full of thorns and bumps.

The future of Fuso lies on the Korean Peninsula, in Manmongol, where the world is vast enough for the aspiring Yamato warriors to flex their muscles.

pressing matter

The country must carry out reforms, break down the fences of the 260 feudal lords, unify the Fuso Kingdom under the banner of His Majesty the Emperor, and develop the whole country as one, rather than being torn apart.

Take a look at the scene of the prosperity of the Tang Kingdom, such a vast territory is united, and the king dare not disrespect wherever he goes, this is the atmosphere that a great country should have!

"Yo Xi, Jiadong Jun is reasonable, the Fusang nation should indeed wake up, be ashamed and brave."

"Then after returning, I would like to ask Your Highness to take more care and support the reform policy and the "Obey the King" movement! Only when the Yamato nation is self-reliant and self-reliant can there be hope. ”

"Jia Dongjun doesn't mention this matter, I also have to take the initiative, the royal family is very grateful for Jia Dongjun's unremitting efforts, and will naturally fully cooperate and give help within my ability, please rest assured!"

"Then please!"

The two men bowed to each other in the street, which immediately attracted the attention of the two cavalrymen patrolling along the street, and immediately rode over and shouted loudly; "Hey, what's the show?"

At this time, the attendant samurai who were following behind the big man suddenly exploded.

The attitude of the high-ranking cavalry is simply a humiliation to the master!

Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it.

said that it was too late, and more than 10 Japanese samurai with the head of the moon generation rushed over in small steps, formed a human wall between the cavalry and the master, and shouted fiercely at the cavalry; "Bage, you must apologize to your master."

As he spoke, they all pulled out their katanas.

See this scenario

The faces of Okubo Ritsu and Prince Fushimi Palace changed suddenly, and they knew that it was not good, so they hurriedly shouted; "Don't be presumptuous, quickly put away the knife, this is in the Tang Dynasty......"

It's a pity it's too late

When the Japanese samurai drew their swords, two horsemen sitting on large horses had reached out and put their hands on the pouch on the right front side of the saddle, and quickly drew their guns and opened fire in their hands.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After a burst of fierce gunfire, it was only a short three or four seconds, and the Fuso warriors who were still fierce and vicious in a row had been put down by the Colt cavalry-style revolver, and the blood sprayed from the blood holes on their bodies, and they all brushed down a row.

After the fire

The two horsemen immediately rode away from the group of Fuso, and drew the repeating spears in front of the saddle again, and pointed the muzzles of the black holes at them, and roared loudly as if they were facing a great enemy;

"Don't move for me, kneel on the ground with your hands raised, otherwise Lao Tzu will lift your heavenly spirit cover with one shot, and do everything I say, kneel down for me!"

Prince Fushiminomiya; “……”

Okubo Ritsu; “……”

A group of Fuso attachés; “……”
