With a bang.

The bowls and chopsticks in Fukuzawa Nakatsu's hand were thrown on the table. He had a cold face and said in the most serious tone: "Notaka, I respect your senior Restoration Club, but please don't doubt my loyalty to Japan. I can sacrifice my life for our common cause."

Nobusuto Goto was not surprised that Fukuzawa Nakazu could say such words. Instead, he smiled and said, "It is because of this that I am worried about your dedication."

Fukuzawa Nakatsu was puzzled, Goto Nobuzu pointed to the letter that was already in Fukuzawa Nakatsu's hands, and said with a smile: "Three people will take apart together, because I'm worried that you will choose to burn it, pretending to know nothing."

After saying that, Goto Nobuzuo left the table and walked to the counter and started chatting with the boss inside. He was very talkative and talked about everything on the market. After chatting for a while, the boss took out a pot of sake. The two found a table with no one and started chatting while drinking. Fukuzawa Nakatsu collected the letter, threw down some money, and left here.

When Fukuzawa Nakatsu followed the agreement and opened the letter together when Takeo Takanaga and Tomoyama Iwakura opened it, he understood why Goto Nobuzu was so worried.

It does mention a method of Goto Nobutsu. It seems that he has been prepared for what may happen in the negotiations, and Goto Nobutsu's method is very compatible. Nobutsu's method is to be discussed with foreigners at the level of the Reform Commission, whether it is a war or a diplomatic dispute, according to this method, the goal can be easily achieved.

This method is to use Fukuzawa Nakazu's Japanese identity to use some tricks in translation and meeting minutes. Now the main representatives of the delegation are members of the Reform Commission, and they can completely deceive the superiors and conceal their subordinates, and they can easily do it for both the shogunate and the emperor.

This is also why Goto Nobuzu was worried about Fukuzawa Nakatsu. The reason is very simple. Fukuzawa Nakatsu was the official envoy of the delegation, and all personnel arrangements were made by him. In other words, once the old accounts are opened in the future and it is revealed that Fukuzawa Nakatsu did it on purpose, the reputation of this emperor teacher will be completely ruined.

Fukuzawa Nakazu is a generous scholar. He is not afraid of sacrificing his life, but he cares for his reputation very much and regards honor as too much as his life. Is he willing to let his reputation be tainted for Japan?

"Why don't we persuade Mr. Fukuzawa?" After leaving Fukuzawa Nakazu's bedroom, Takeo Takanaga took the initiative to ask Tomoyama Iwakura.

Iwakura asked: "Why, Lord Takeo has a better solution?"

"No, I don't." Takeo Takanaga said. He thought about it and still shook his head: "That method is very good, but I am worried that Mr. Fukuzawa will not agree. For him, honor is very important, and I have seen this before."

But Tomoyama Iwakura said: "Those who came up with this idea knew that our Mr. Fukuzawa valued honors, so he chose to let us read the letter together, and he chose such an idea."

"I don't understand very much." Wu Xiong Ryuyoshi shook his head slightly. Since joining this representative, he has always felt that his brain is not enough, mainly because he has been in the army for many years.

When he was a teenager, he turned into a Chinese name and pretended to be a Chinese and went to school in the empire. He also participated in many European wars as a volunteer. After returning to China, he was also in the army. Although there were also struggles in the army, there were differences in superiority and inferiority. Military orders were as high as mountains, and there were always fewer conspiracies and tricks, which made Wu Xiong Longyou not very adapted to this kind of competition.

Iwakura Tomoyama smiled and said, "Mr. Takeo, for literati, honor is also face. Mr. Fukuzawa is now the teacher of His Majesty the Emperor. Anyone can retreat when His Majesty the Emperor needs it, but he cannot. Mr. Fukuzawa has always been known for his patriotism. Since you and I know it, he will never get rid of this fate no matter what."

When Wu Xiong Longyong heard this, his expression changed a few times, and finally shook his head: "Don't worry, let's wait and see."

Goto Nobuzu came up with a good idea, and Fukuzawa Nakazu was also kidnapped by his sense of honor, and the negotiations were carried out according to Goto Nobuzu's arrangement.

As it turns out, as long as someone makes bad things, no matter how much sincerity the two sides are, it will not be enough to consume.

Fukuzawa Nakatsu gained the trust of Count Beren from the beginning, but Count Beren was obviously entrusted to non-human. The negotiations held a long negotiation on the terms of compensation and apology, but the negotiations for half a month were just a foreshadowing. When it came to punishing the murderer, Count Fukuzawa Nakatsu and Goto Nobusuke cooperated.

Nobuzuna Goto poisoned the translation in the shogunate delegation, making it impossible for him to participate, so that the Japanese side of the negotiations only had the translation like Fukuzawa Nakazu's nephew. A man-made misunderstanding was born. Earl Beren put forward the demands of the three European countries, that is, the culprit must be punished and the culprits were killed. Obviously, the culprits mentioned by Eren refer to Egawa Ryohide, but Fukuzawa Nakazu and Goto Nobuzu played a trick to replace the archery and cleverly translated the culprits, turning Egawa Ryohide into the shogun Tokugawa Yoshizo.

At this point, the negotiations ended. After receiving the news from Tokugawa Yoshizo, who was far away in Edo, he was furious and publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Europeans.

But this was just the beginning. Goto Nobuzu and Fukuzawa Nakatsu successively launched a combination of punches. After Tokugawa Yoshizo expressed his dissatisfaction, Goto Nobuzu threatened the three European countries. The original intention was that if the Earl of Beren insisted on such an unreasonable demand, the shogunate was not afraid of starting a war.

Goto Nobuzuna expressed more toughly, which became that if the Earl of Beren insisted on punishing Tokugawa Yoshizo, the shogunate would start a war.

Earl Beren had no idea that this was a conspiracy and continued to demand punishment for the evildoer during the negotiations that day. As a result, Fukuzawa Nakazu actually announced the suspension of the negotiations and then took out the emperor's imperial edict to declare war on Britain, France and the Netherlands.

Earl Beren was shocked on the spot. Tokugawa Yoshizo, who was in Edo, was also shocked by his.

Neither side expected the war to break out so suddenly that neither of them prepared.

After receiving the declaration of war, Earl Beren and Barrow immediately left by boat. Instead of returning to Nagasaki, they went to the Empire Shinkyo to hide. Due to domestic chaos, Japan did not sign legal provisions such as diplomatic conventions. Therefore, after the declaration of war, the "ghost animals" in Japan were arrested nationwide. Struggles from all sides followed and the people they caught were sent to Edo and Nagasaki to be relocated, forming two large-scale concentration camps.

Not only Britain, France and the Netherlands, but also people with Western appearances such as the Spaniards were implicated. Two concentration camps, one with a scale of 600 and the other with a scale of 300, were also taken away by the empire's contact, except for the Three Kingdoms.

Shin Jing.

"Longcheng, why are you here?" When Li Junwei entered the imperial study, he saw the naval commander Zhao Longcheng.

"Prince." Zhao Longcheng came to greet him immediately. He only had one hand, so it was not that convenient to do things.

Zhao Longcheng was Li Junwei's old subordinate. When he was managing America, Zhao Longcheng had always been in charge of the navy. He made great achievements in military affairs, but he was recently promoted to commander of the navy. His promotion suppressed other people in the navy.

The reason is very simple. In terms of achievements, no one can compare to this general with great military achievements. In terms of background, he is also quite good. His father once served as the deputy prime minister of the empire, and the father and son were even more heroes in the development of America and hardliners in the navy.

The only thing he lacks is Zhao Longcheng's resume. He is not from a naval professional, but a real practical man. When he was young, he was a ruthless man who dared to drive a sailboat across most of the Pacific Ocean and robbed South America. Therefore, he did not undergo the training of a serious naval school.

Zhao Longcheng said: "Prince, all the kids below want to come to meet the saint. Logically, I shouldn't have snatched this opportunity, but the navy is in trouble now. As the commander, I should come to the emperor and sell my old face."

The war in Europe stopped, the empire's investment in the navy was also declining, and the navy's status was reduced. In recent years, because the navy's advantage was too great, no country had the courage to provoke the empire in the ocean, and the wars that the empire participated in were mainly land warfare. For the imperial power institutions that valued military achievements, the navy was not popular.

Especially the newcomers who entered the Senate in recent years have made meritorious contributions in the land war, and none of them came from the navy, which made the navy, the former first armed force of the empire, quite embarrassing.

In fact, it was not that the empire did not pay attention to the navy. In fact, the imperial naval commander has always been a nobleman at the level of a duke. Before Zhao Longcheng, the previous naval commander was Li Zhaoyi, which was the naval wealthy family, Duke Jinghai. He was the founding duke, and the first generation of Duke Jinghai was a student of Taizu Li Mingxun.

But Li Zhaoyi was so obedient. When facing the emperor, he was as obedient as a kitten. In fact, he did not gain much benefit for the imperial navy. During his tenure, he was also a time when the navy was weak.

"But you have come too early, the emperor is not here." Li Junwei said.

"But I just heard from the attendant at the door that the emperor will arrive in a while." Zhao Longcheng was surprised.

Li Junwei smiled and said, "Why should I come first? Today's military opportunity meeting has been postponed to night."

"The emperor's dragon body is not safe?" Zhao Longcheng immediately became nervous.

Li Junwei waved his hand: "No, isn't this my elder family pregnant? The queen had already made an appointment with the emperor to see it, but the emperor forgot about it. I suddenly remembered that I would like to push the military conference first. You have been in Shenjing for a short time, but you don't know that the emperor is afraid of his wife."

Zhao Longcheng smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, the one who fears the most is not the emperor, but your Highness, Prince Yu.

"Then I will take my humble position first." Zhao Longcheng said quickly.

"Don't, Muta came to report his work from Beijing today. They were all old comrades from America back then. Let's go to his house to drink. Let's tell you that the emperor has given him a lot of good wine." Li Junwei pulled Zhao Longcheng out of the imperial study room, then found an opportunity and said to the attendant: "Go and notify the emperor quickly, and I will send him off the complaining person. Come again in the evening."

The attendant was holding his ears outside the door and listening to Li Junwei making a fool of himself. He smiled awkwardly, thinking that King Yu was so brave that the emperor decided to cancel the military opportunity meeting.

But the attendant didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly went to do it.

Zhao Longcheng and Li Junwei got on the carriage together. On the carriage, Zhao Longcheng said: "Prince, why don't you go to our Navy Command to have a look?"

"I, I have never been familiar with the Navy." Li Junwei spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

Not to mention the navy or the headquarters of any army, Li Junwei doesn't like to get involved. This prince, who has dominated the strongest and longest expansion of the empire, has provoked countless wars in every corner of the world in the past few decades, but he is really not interested in military power.

Although the history textbooks of the empire always state that King Yu commanded anything from decisive battles on land to sweeping at sea, in fact, King Yu knew nothing about military affairs. He often laughed at himself in the army and could not even be a squad leader.

But even so, the various systems of the imperial army loved King Yu very much, and those high-ranking generals also had the highest evaluation of King Yu. Especially those who followed him respected King Yu's mind and demeanor the most.

A man who cannot command the army has won so many wars, but the reason is that he can always find a suitable commander for the army, and then provide the army with everything they need as much as possible and set a goal for them.

"College of the Navy, I look forward to the stars and the moon to you." Zhao Longcheng said.

Li Junwei laughed, feeling that since Zhao Longcheng was transferred to the commander of the local fleet of the Empire, his demeanor has changed, from a cruel man who killed and killed his life and death to a mother-in-law's mouth.

Li Junwei still remembers that when he was in America, the fear of the Spaniards in America was truly obtained through killing.

When the Spaniards sneak attacked and killed the people of the Empire, Zhao Longcheng led the fleet to the door. It was the bodies of ten Spaniards who avenged the people of an Empire and made him a nightmare for the Spanish. But now, his decisive decisiveness on the battlefield has been restrained and he has become a naval bureaucrat who uses any means to fight for the interests of the navy.

Why did Li Junwei fake the imperial edict to lead Zhao Longcheng away because he knew his transformation. Li Junwei knew the personality of his second brother. If he met those bureaucrats who spoke carefully, the emperor could easily deal with it, but he could not deal with it when facing Zhao Longcheng, who was straightforward and spoke directly.
