706 The Civil War
Seeing that Emperor Tongzhi had admitted his identity, Hirobuki Ito quickly corrected his appearance and knelt on the deck to bow to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
"The common people of the country, Hirofumi Ito, I pay homage to His Majesty, the emperor of the country, long live, long live, long live." After saying that, he kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Tongzhi.
The Japanese nation that had not passed the victory of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was born with a sense of awe of mainland civilization. Although they knew how small and poor Japanese countries were, they knew how much power the emperor had.
This awe didn't gradually change until the victory of the Sino-Japanese War. Now no one in Japan dares to disrespect the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Tongzhi lowered his head and shouted at Hiromon Ito, "At the beginning, you have problems with attacking our Qing Dynasty's governance, I can't tell you what you are doing, but why are you full of slap in the back? What foot binding cloth and menstruation? Are you considered a thing that a gentleman can say?"
"If you don't cultivate your moral character and talk nonsense, you are also a scholar. If you do this, you will have to break all your identities."
Hirofumi Ito suddenly straightened his back "Your Majesty." He said with a grievance, "When did the foreign minister talk nonsense? This is really..."
"Nonsense, I'll beat you to death... Why haven't I heard of it? When did the Qing Dynasty do such a thing?" Zaichun pounced on him and wanted to fight again.
At this time, Xiao Letian said, "It's enough, why bother?" Zai Chun immediately stepped back like a mouse who saw a cat, but he felt very aggrieved.
"Master...he scolded me."
Xiao Letian glared at him, "Ito Hirobuki is right. You don't know that it's because the ministers below didn't tell you that the Qing army had really done such a thing..."
"It goes without saying that when Meller led his troops to attack Tanggu, he used feces soup, black dog blood, toilets and foot bindings to throw them into the trenches of our Marine Corps... Haha, I almost disgusted my brothers at that time."
"Let's go further, during the Daoguang period, the British fleet attacked Guangzhou, and Hunan Admiral Yang Fang was ordered to go to Guangzhou to assist Lin Zexu in fighting against Ying. As a result, he built the so-called toilet array, which was filled with feces and black dog bloody foot-bound cloth. He thought that turbid objects could break the foreign countries, but the result was of course self-evident..."
Zai Chun was stunned when he heard this, "I... why didn't I know anything? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Xiao Letian sneered and said, "Don't talk about you, even Emperor Daoguang dared to deceive. Yang Fang and Yishan were defeated again and again, but they also reported successive victories to the court, saying that they had won battles again and again, and then negotiated with Britain in private. What they bullied was the capital's whip, and what they played was the information that was not smooth..."
"This is not the end. When Yang Fang was defending Zhejiang, she even asked the soldiers to dress up as a tiger to show off their power in front of the position. That means that tigers eat foreign (sheep) is really sad, it's a pity..."
Zaichun is not the little emperor who has never seen the world in the Forbidden City. He has done everything he has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. He has carefully studied the natural science textbooks in the Western-style schools of Ryukyu.
Zai Chun, who had already learned about it, knew which superstitious things were just fooling people. When he heard the iron-like fact, his little face suddenly turned red.
"I...I...How could I...be like this..." Zai Chun stuttered so shamelessly. In front of the Japanese, the little emperor had the intention to jump into the sea.
Of course, Xiao Letian knew Zaichun's temper. This child was very arrogant. After taking power in history, he insisted on rebuilding the Old Summer Palace. He was both strong and strong with his mother. He was also a rebellious boy at heart. He had to teach this kind of child.
"Zaichun, you don't have to do this. Now the whole of Asia is slowly waking up in ignorance. This is not achieved overnight. It requires terrazzo skills... Actually, look at the experience of Longma Jun and the fate of those white tiger boys. You will know that Japan's current level of ignorance is far better than that of the Qing Dynasty..."
Zaichun thought about it and it was true that he had started eating human flesh here. You can imagine how stupid it is. Although he was a little 50 steps and laughed a hundred steps, he was in a better mood.
After the impact was resolved, Zaichun and Ito Hiromoto shook hands and said he was happy. Ito Hiromoto quickly said that he didn't dare. In the end, Zaichun rewarded him with a jade ring, which was considered to be apologizing for him.
Hirobu Ito never expected that he would receive the reward from the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was so excited that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed. From then on, this jade ring became a treasure of the Ito family heirloom for generations. Of course, this is all a story.
Ryuma Jun's face gradually became rosy in the cabin, and the wounds on his body were also stitched. Hirobuki Ito officially knelt in front of Xiao Letian to perform the ceremony of apprenticeship.
Hirobu Ito perfectly answered Xiao Letian's tricky questions, which once again strengthened Xiao Letian's confidence in cultivating his deputy Ryuma Jun. Faced with the complex and changeable situation in Japan, if such a flexible and flexible politician is not in charge, there will be chaos sooner or later.
Xiao Lotte gave Hirobu Ito the first lesson. In fact, he taught this lesson to everyone present. Where is the biggest lesions in Japan now?
"You just asked me where the real lesions in Japan are. I can tell you clearly now. Success, Bushido, and defeat, you will gain a big advantage in Bushido, and of course you will also suffer a big fall."
Everyone sat upright, especially Ryuma Jun and Ito Hirobuki are so nervous that they don't even dare to blink for fear of missing any word.
"Well, Japan is different from other Asian countries. You have a very long political system of military generals, but civil servant politics has been suppressed for thousands of years. Since the Qing Dynasty opened up the world of martial arts, the dispute between civil and military families has run through the entire Japanese history..."
"In China, whether in Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the time, civil officials have strong political power, but you are different in Japan. Most of the time, the samurai class ruled the country, which has formed a tradition..."
"So I can assert that even if you Japan's reform is successful, the government's reform and initial industrialization will eventually be seized by the Wu family. This is not possible but certain."
Xiao Letian sighed, "Once the war situation has an absolute advantage in the war, Japan will be full of aggressiveness. Coupled with the huge power brought by the success of reform and industrialization, those arrogant warriors will become arrogant. This is like a gambler who keeps winning money on the gambling table. He will keep betting, and he will fantasize that his luck will never fade..."
"There is only one fate like this, that is, completely losing all the chips, or even losing his own life. Everything is just a dream for him..."
Near... Everyone present took a breath of air conditioning. Sakamoto Ryuma said with his lips trembling, "Not it, will there be such serious consequences? It's impossible, absolutely impossible."
Only then did it realize that Hirofumi Ito was pragmatic and calm. He nodded, "What the master said is right. I am free to learn some Chinese studies, and I have also studied in the UK. I also have a little understanding of Asian and European politics..."
"The Central Plains dynasty has been very prosperous since ancient times. Although it gives outsiders the feeling that the Central Plains people have insufficient military luck and even feel a little cowardly. Over the thousands of years of history, the barbarians have continued to invade the Central Plains civilization, but the counterattacks of the Han civilization are very few..."
"But it is strange that the territory controlled by the Han civilization is getting bigger and bigger. Although there will be ups and downs for hundreds or even hundreds of years in the middle, the overall trend remains unchanged..."
"Cowardice has expanded its territory instead, and there must be a reason for this. Later, I thought about it carefully and I think the core reason lies in civil servant politics... China has produced many excellent politicians and strategists since ancient times."
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian immediately asked, "Oh, then I'll ask you, what's the difference between a politician and a politician, and what's the difference between a strategist and a tactician."
In Xiao Letian's encouraging eyes, Hirobuki Ito blushed slightly, "I'm talking nonsense, everyone listening nonsense... I personally think that strategists and politicians have a higher position and a longer vision. They understand the power of time and patience, and they know what real negotiation and compromise are..."
"Yes, there is nothing wrong. They understand the art of compromise and understand how to retreat to advance. On the surface, you think he is cowardly, but these people are the ones who take advantage of it in the end..."
"Tacists and politicians are much shortsighted. They are more aggressive and pay more attention to actual interests. Once these people have the upper hand, they will be unreasonable."
"From my point of view, 99% of the Japanese samurai class are tacticians and politicians. Even if one or two real strategists and politicians occasionally appear... I don't think the final outcome will be too good."
With a bang, Xiao Letian slapped his palms and said, "It seems that you have put in a lot of effort. The way of civil and military affairs is like yin and yang. It must be integrated with water and milk. Is it right to walk on both legs?"
"Occupying a piece of land or getting a piece of actual benefits is something that a warrior should dare to do, but how the meat in his mouth is digested and turned into his own flesh and blood depends on the literati's time to grind..."
"Why has the Chinese nation been attacked by barbarians, but its territory is increasing steadily, hahaha... It is impossible without a clever politician and strategist."
"So, the core lesions in Japan are that the warriors are too strong and the civil servants are too weak... Let me make another prediction. In the future, Japanese politics will definitely become assassinated, and Ryuma Jun's experience will be repeated..."
"As sooner or later, you will kill all the wise men in your own nation, and the vast earth will be so clean."
With a sound of thump, Ito Hirobuki knelt down on the ground and burst into tears, "Please give me advice from the master, please give me the Prime Minister to teach me..." At this time, even Ryuma Sakamoto could not do it anymore and struggled to salute Xiao LeTian.
Xiao Letian steadily supported Longma Jun and sighed, "Don't do this. We still have to work hard on many things together. It is said that it is better to seek others than to seek others."
Note: Recently, many readers have to give me red envelopes in the group. I will reiterate this sentence here, I will not ask everyone to use any red envelopes given by QQ and WeChat, and I will not want any of them.
I write books with a pure heart, and what I want to earn is a normal subscription, because it is natural to read the genuine version to subscribe, but I don’t recommend everyone to give extra money, because no one’s money is not blown by the strong wind.
You can subscribe to the main website and read a chapter of 9 cents. I am so confident that I can ask everyone for this money, and I am more confident.
It’s like eating in a restaurant. Subscription is the money for meals, which everyone should give, while other red envelope rewards are tips. Why do many people don’t give money for meals but just tips? I really don’t understand.
Okay, today I will update. Because the subscription to the main site was only 3 yuan yesterday, I was already crying in the bathroom. Let me go and drink to drown my sorrows.
Chapter completed!
