Chapter 50: The Three Masters of the Meiji Era

A light boat, carrying He Xuan, carrying the sinking and floating.

Finally, we arrived at a ferry port.

This is the port to Japan.

When you go ashore and trample on it, it is the land of Japan.

Here, the Japanese side also set up a checkpoint.

There were a lot of Japanese soldiers, with guns, who spoke Japanese, and of course, there were also Chinese speakers. Because it's close to the Ryukyus. The Ryukyus have always been the language of the Chinese language.

"Ryukyu people, pay the shore fee, and if you don't have Japanese yen, you can use silver. A Japanese soldier said in Chinese.

"Pay the shore fee. He Xuan took off a sword on his back: "This sword should be used as a landing fee, is it okay?"

The gaze of the Japanese soldier who spoke turned cold in an instant: "You are looking for death, don't kill yourself." ”

"Really?" He Xuan smiled.

Hand move, brush!

A soldier next to him who was going to carry a gun, a direct sword.

He's dead.

There were about a hundred Japanese soldiers guarding the level.

I saw He Xuan do it.

They all moved their hands and hit He Xuan with bullets.

However, the hit missed.

Faced with such a very small number of soldiers, He Xuan didn't need to launch the primary hegemonic body at all, and directly exerted his speed to the limit, so that he could dodge these bullets.

A moment later, the land was full of dead people.

Only the Japanese soldier who began to speak Mandarin remained. However, he was directly frightened and his legs weakened, he had never seen such a ruthless person, he could actually kill a hundred soldiers by himself, the key is that these hundred soldiers are not simple goods, they are all holding Western muskets.

Even Japan's sword masters, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, Miyamoto Musashi, and Sasa Kojiro, these swordsmanship powers are resurrected, and it is impossible to do this kind of thing.

"Who the hell are you?" he backed, scared.

"Who am I? Everyone else calls me the Young King. ”

"Young Heavenly King!" The Japanese soldier suddenly remembered the name, and an unknown number of terrible records appeared in his mind. But everything, that's the end of it.

Brush!

Die!

A sword light slashed through his eyebrows.

A streak of blood appeared from the middle.

He Xuan took out a piece of cloth and gently wiped it.

Next, it's time to attack the Japanese castles.

Japan has a total of 60,000 soldiers, which is not difficult to deal with.

......

In today's Japan, not many years after the shogunate collapsed, the Meiji Restoration was a new government. And the three controllers of such a new government are Katsura Kogoro, Saigo Takamori, and Okubo Ritsu of the three masters after the Meiji era.

Katsura Kogoro is the appearance of a weak middle-aged uncle. He is the best of the three.

Saigo Takamori is a bearded man. He was the most capable of fighting among the three and was a general.

Okubo Ritsu, on the other hand, is a middle-aged man who looks quite sunny and friendly, and he is the politician among the three. The current Prime Minister of Japan.

This iron triangle held the power of the new Meiji government.

"Just now, two pieces of news came. First, our sulphur ball strategy failed. The Young Heavenly King of the Taiping Army appeared, and he single-handedly defeated the army that we had left to control the Ryukyus. He is really incomprehensible, as long as it is the time of golden light, it is a Western musket, and it can't hurt him. ”

"The second news, the young king of the Taiping army has landed in our Japan. I guess it's coming for us. This is to seek revenge on us. Gui Xiaogoro smiled bitterly: "I knew that the young king of the Taiping Army was so vengeful, back then, we shouldn't have sent troops to Duwan." ”

"However, the pies have been sent and there is no other way. Saigo Takamori said in a deep voice: "We still have 60,000 people on hand, all with muskets. It should be possible to gather and kill the young king of the Taiping army. ”

"Half a year ago, Zeng Guoquan led 70,000 horses and horses to attack Duwan. Same idea. But it's a pity that the young king of the Taiping army was invincible in half an hour. Every time, he only looked for twenty minutes and began to flash people, killing and wounding thousands of people each time. After so many times, the army collapsed completely. Katsura shook his head and said, "Our army, although the morale is higher than that of the Qing army. ”

"But in terms of combat effectiveness, it will not be much higher than the Qing army. ”

"What should I do then?" asked Okubo Ritsu, knowing that Katsura Kogoro had always been resourceful.

"If we take the army and fight the Young Heavenly King, it is not cost-effective. Not to mention that it is very difficult to defeat the Young Heavenly King, and it is almost impossible with the power in our hands. ”

"Even if we are lucky enough to defeat He Xuan, so what? It's not good for our future plans. ”

"The Young Heavenly King and the Qing Court are mortal enemies, and it is in our best interest to let the Young Heavenly King and the Qing Court fight. ”

"Gui Xiaogoro, you are such a cool person, you obviously have a way, just say the way directly, but you have to say countless reasons. Be direct. Saigo Takamori said impatiently.

Gui Kogoro heard Saigo Takamori's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he sometimes felt that the Chinese sentence had only met the soldiers, and it was unreasonable, it was really reasonable: "So, we should prepare with both hands." ”

"On the one hand, I told the army to retreat, don't clash head-on with the Young Heavenly King, Japan is so big, and it is our territory, as long as we retreat from the Young Heavenly King, he will not be able to find where we are in a short time. ”

"Second, we can ask a clever master of poisoning to poison the Young Heavenly King. Although he can't be killed by bullets, he may not be afraid of poison. If you can poison him to death, it will be a hundred times. But the use of poison may not be able to help him, and other preparations need to be made. ”

"Third, it is to consult with the Qing court. It is said that the Qing court could not defeat this young king, and wanted to ask Westerners to take action. But the Westerners offered 100 million silver. We can discuss with the Qing court, work together to hand over the money, and ask the Westerners to help. ”

"If there is a Westerner's firearm, it is the Young Heavenly King, and it is not a problem. ”

"But in that case, we'll have to pay tens of millions of taels of silver. ”

"It's better than tens of thousands of soldiers dead. Katsura Kogoro said: "Moreover, the people in the Qing court are all fools. When the time comes, compliment them more. The amount of money we put out should be limited to less than 20 million taels of silver. ”

"Okay, that's it. "Okubo Ritsu has made a decision.

Saigo Takamori was still very unconvinced: "We have 60,000 horses, and we actually retreated because of one person." It's really unwilling to think about it, how can you know if you don't give it a try. ”

"We in Japan cannot afford such a failure. Okubo said: "Moreover, although we paid the money, the Qing court paid more. When the time comes, as soon as the young king dies, the Qing court will pay more money and become weaker, and we can take the opportunity to attack China and earn more back. ”
