A month ago, the Forbidden City.

"Your Majesty, now that the two ships in the town have returned, I would like to buy two more cruisers from the UK to form a navy as soon as possible."

"What, isn't it already a fixed ship? Why do you still have to buy it?" Guangxu said dissatisfied.

"Emperor, the two ships in Zhen are the main battleships, with strong firepower and strong steel armor, but it is a waste to patrol the sea. The Qing Dynasty's sea is vast. If we want to defend the sea, we must have cruisers."

"Okay, okay, I will tell the Queen Mother about this." Guangxu said impatiently.

Li Hongzhang saw Guangxu's appearance and said, "That minister will leave first."

"Um."

Li Hongzhang ordered the cruiser Zhiyuan from the UK, and Jingyuan's note was quickly approved. Then Li Hongzhang asked to order Jingyuan from Germany. Laiyuan also received the approval, and at the same time he received the order of the Queen Mother to let the fleet go around.

Tokyo, Japan.

"Your Majesty, the second ship of Zhenyuan ordered by the Qing Dynasty from Germany has been delivered. The tonnage of the two ships is as high as 7,000 tons, making it the number one giant ship in Asia. It is said that the second ship is the most advanced ironclad ship in the world." Hirofumi Ito, who served as Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

"The most advanced? Is it not even the British warships?" Emperor Meiji frowned.

"Hi! It is said that when Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were designed, they absorbed the advantages of the British giant ship Infreich and the German giant ship Saxony, and abandoned the shortcomings of the two ships, so they should be the world's first in terms of advancedness." Hirofumi Ito said.

"Dingyuan of the Qing Dynasty, Zhenyuan has returned to China, but our navy...ah!" Emperor Meiji couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his navy.

"The early attack on Taiwan was wrong. Although our early attack on Taiwan now occupied the Ryukyu Islands, it aroused the vigilance of the Qing government and the opposition, so they began to build a navy. The Qing government allocated 4 million taels of silver every year to build a navy. However, our army has not been fully equipped with new rifles, let alone the navy, and it is impossible to pay for warships at all." Interior Minister Akitori Yama Prefecture.

Without money, I don’t know what to do. Every time I talk about the navy, I don’t have money when I talk about the navy at a meeting, Meiji said: “Although we occupy Ryukyu, there is no resources there. Taiwan is different. There is iron, coal, and tea there! But if we want Taiwan, we must defeat the Qing navy! If we want to defeat the Qing navy, we must accelerate the construction of the navy! Xiaosuke Jun (Xiaosuke, Yama Prefecture Atsuto), from today on, reduce unnecessary expenditures as much as possible and invest all the saved money in the construction of the navy! We must implement the plan to attack the Qing country as soon as possible.”

"Hi!"

"Today's parliament ends here! Shunfukun (Haifu Ito), please accompany me out for a walk."

"Hi! Your Majesty."

A large mansion in Tokyo.

"Shiro, your hand..." The person who spoke was Saigo Ue. Just now, the servant told him that there was a noda who was looking for him. He knew that it was Noda Shiro who came. When he saw Shiro's outfit, Ue was stunned for a moment, but soon saw Noda's left hand.

"Hui, let's go to your room to talk!" Noda Shiro said.

After Noda followed Shangi to the room, he pounced on Shangi and knelt down.

"Shiro, what are you doing!" Shangi hurriedly helped Noda up.

"Humi, I'm here for something to ask for, please make sure to agree!" Noda said.

Saigo Kuai can see that Noda has encountered some things, otherwise it would not be the outfit he is now. "What's the relationship between us! Will I not help with your affairs? Let's talk about what happened first! Why is your left hand gone?"

Noda told me about meeting Qin Ge in Naha.

"British mercenaries? It is impossible. The British will not hire Chinese, and the British will not hire mercenaries either. They have an Indochina minion army, so it is impossible for mercenaries to hire mercenaries." Uei said after listening to Noda's narrative.

"It's not a British mercenary?" Noda exclaimed.

"It is absolutely impossible for the British mercenaries, you are all deceived!"

"Baga!!" Noda clenched his fists, it was not right, it was a single fist.

"Shiro, there will be a chance to take revenge! You said that my uncle was defeated by Qin Ge, and that uncle is now..." Uei knew that Ichiro Noda might have had a caesarean section, and it usually happens after a samurai was defeated.

"My father, my father committed suicide after two days of seclusion." Noda Shiro said sadly.

"Is that true? Shiro, you can live here in the future and just treat this as your own home. You and me, the best brother." said Ueni.

"No, I want to join the Navy!" Noda Shiro's eyes became firm.

"Navy? Shiro, do you want to join the army? Go to the army. I heard from the head of the family that the navy has serious shortage of funds. In order to buy warships, the salaries of naval personnel are very small. The army is much better than the navy. Although it is still short of guns and cannons, it is much better than the navy. And your hands...my ability can only allow you to enter the army." Guai said.

"Army? Army is good, then I'll thank you Guai here first." Noda bowed to Guai.

"What is this for? You and I are brothers, how can you say thank you!" said Shangii.

"Tunsuke, can you please invite Dingyuan and Zhenyuan from the Qing Dynasty to our Japan?" Meiji said to Hirofumi Ito after seeing the extravagance and debauchery of some princes and ministers.

"Invite Dingyuan and Zhenyuan to visit the empire? Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Qing Dynasty has not yet accommodated Dingyuan and Zhenyuan's docks, so I think they will go to the British docks in Nagasaki for routine maintenance next year, and we don't need to invite them at all."

"I really hope they will arrive soon."

"Your Majesty wants..."

"Well, I need all the subjects of the Empire to know how powerful our enemies are."

There was the order of the Empress Dowager, the expectations of the Lord Zhongtang, and the expectations of the ships that needed routine maintenance, and the expectations of Emperor Meiji. It was already completely impossible for the two ships of Dingzhen to go to Japan.

In January 1886, a recruitment information published in newspapers made the anti-Chinese elements in the United States excited: I, a German ship engineer, planned to build the world's largest dock in Hawaii to build a super luxurious cruise ship. Now I have obtained land at Pearl Harbor and urgently need a large number of workers. I heard that the United States has enacted the anti-Chinese bill, so I decided to recruit 100,000 Chinese workers in the United States, only Chinese workers, but Chinese workers who come to work must cut off their braids.

Zi, this is a must! After cutting off your braids, you can bring your wife and children with you. The female worker is also what I need. If you are a technical worker, you will get very generous rewards. Various workers are needed here. If you are a Chinese and if you can't make it in the United States, come to Hawaii and your whole family will be full! Ten days later, there will be a boat to San Francisco, Los Angeles and other ports on the West Coast of the Pacific. The boat is completely free! - January 12, 1886

Anderson's advertisements in American newspapers are completely free. All newspapers are very happy to publish them for free after reading this message. The information was originally only in English, but it started to appear in Chinese the next day.

Los Angeles.

Li Ming and Li Hao were walking on the street, and suddenly a group of American young men rushed out of the street and pushed them to the ground.

"What are you going to do?!" Li Ming exclaimed.

"Hehe, hurry up and cut off their pig tails!" Jack, who held Li Ming, shouted.

Li Ming only felt that his hair was being pulled tight, and then it was loose. He saw that his younger brother Li Hao's braids were cut off.

After the braids were cut off, the Americans let them go and laughed, "Tailless pig! Get out to Hawaii!" As he said that, he threw the crumpled newspaper on Li Ming's face.

When Li Ming saw that there was a man in the newspaper, he picked it up curiously.

In the United States, similar situations happen every moment.

As soon as the Chinese workers left, American capitalists no longer had a smile on their faces. Although they also hate Chinese workers, they made a lot of profits by relying on Chinese workers. Now, when Chinese workers leave, they need to pay two to three times the salary of Chinese workers.
