The last three heroes during the Meiji period in Japan were Kanekoro, Okupo Rito and Saigo Takamori.

These three people held the power of the Meiji new government.

And these three have a consensus.

Japan is too small.

Moreover, earthquakes often occur in Japan's territory.

This is not a place suitable for building an empire.

And they looked around Japan from afar.

There is only one place that is truly suitable for establishing an empire, and that is China.

The Japanese also despised the Qing Dynasty, a barbarian dynasty. However, they also knew that the barbarians like Manchu occupied a powerful China, giving them powerful power.

Japan's Meiji Restoration is just beginning and cannot be a rival to the Qing Dynasty.

So, they are not in a hurry.

They plan to erode the territory of the Qing Dynasty and its subordinates.

There are several goals for them.

Ryukyu, Daiwan, Goryeo.

By taking all these places, and then using the resources, material resources, etc. of these places for a period of development, you can challenge the weak and powerful Qing Dynasty.

They had successfully occupied Ryukyu, and the next one was Daiwan.

They sent Colonel Gui Zhenzhi and took more than 3,000 people to test the strength of the Taiping Army on Xiadaiwan Island. They were waiting for the news brought back by Gui Zhenzhi.

As a result, someone really came back.

"Several adults, it's not good."

"Col. Kaneshima, the army led by him was almost wiped out, and only a few of us escaped."

When the three Meiji heroes heard such a report, they couldn't help but lose their lust: "What the hell is going on? How could they lose so badly? Is the Taiping Army that strong?"

"The Taiping Army is not that strong. Their firearms are quite primitive. They are far from comparable to the Western firearms we bought by Western countries. But their young king, known as gods, is too strange." Among the people who escaped, several of them jumped from the Ji Bird, and they told them vividly about the battle at that time.

The three heroes from Meiji all changed their expressions when they heard this.

"How can a person be so strong? Even if the bullet hits, it cannot be completely shot in. What kind of physical defense is this? No wonder, both the Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Army respect this person as a god. This person does have the ability of a god." Gui Xiaowuro sighed.

"But this person's ability can still be damaged by firearms." Saigo Takamoto said in a deep voice: "Would we bet the soldiers and attack Daiwan?"

"We Japan have a lot of troops. If the army really pushes us, we can deal with the Taiping Army and their young king. But in this way, our strength and our ambitions have been exposed. Now we are not as strong as the Qing Dynasty, so we cannot do this for the time being." Gui Xiaogoro said in a deep voice: "Let's negotiate with the Taiping Army in Daiwan, and hope they can return our captured soldiers."

"Once the negotiations are over, we will immediately transfer the capabilities of the young king of the Taiping Army to the Qing court."

"The Qing court and the Taiping Army will sooner or later fight. If the two tigers fight, one will be injured."

"We just need to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Kogoro makes sense."

"That's it."

...

Daiwan Province.

King Zhong Li Xiucheng was almost laughing crazy: "Hahaha, we made a lot of money this time. Western muskets, three thousand shots. Damn, all Western countries support the Qing court and don't sell them to us. Now we still get a batch."

"There is also this ship, which is a steam ship, which runs much faster than ordinary ships. Only those Western countries can build it. These countries will never sell them to us. Now we have also got it ourselves."

Lee Soo-sung is really happy.

This is a great thing.

With this spoil, he can bring the Taiping Army's combat effectiveness to a small level.

Japan is such a good person!

This kind of spoils is here!

He Xuan couldn't help but touched his chin. Yes, this war captive captured more than a thousand prisoners, and these prisoners could also make him slowly torture and earn more negative emotions.

It is not difficult for a person to squeeze to the limit, and it is not difficult to get more than a hundred negative emotions. If these more than a thousand prisoners to squeeze to the limit, they can even get 100,000 negative emotions. Of course, it will take time.

With a negative emotion value of more than 100,000, He Xuandan's eyes lit up when he thought about it.

In this way, He Xuan embarked on the road of exploiting Japanese prisoners every day and earning 100,000 negative emotions.

Little life is a happy life.

On this day, he was suddenly invited by King Zhong Li Xiucheng again.

"The Japanese envoys come. If we ask us to return these prisoners, they can provide certain compensation." King Zhong Li Xiucheng said: "The conditions they gave are quite satisfactory. A prisoner can give a Western musket and one hundred bullets."

King Zhong Li Xiucheng was jealous.

His Taiping Army was banned by Western countries and could not be bought at all.

Although I collected 3,000 Western muskets last time, Isn’t it beautiful to have more than a thousand Western muskets?

Moreover, Western muskets require special bullets produced by the Western side, and they actually don’t get many bullets. If this deal can be negotiated, wouldn’t they get more than 100,000 bullets?

"No." He Xuan shook his head: "Rejected this transaction."

What a joke!

Western muskets and Western bullets are precious.

But your negative emotions are more precious.

Only by becoming stronger can one defeat the Qing court.

More than a thousand more Western muskets and more than a hundred thousand more bullets, they could not defeat the Qing court.

When he heard He Xuan refused, King Zhong Li Xiucheng was still very sorry: "Young King, don't consider it. Anyway, we keep those prisoners, and it is not very useful."

"No, I'm useful."

Seeing that He Xuan was speaking decisively, King Zhong Li Xiucheng had no choice but to give up helplessly.

After all, He Xuan was the emperor of the Taiping Army.

He, Li Xiucheng, is just a minister.

This negotiation was cancelled directly.

The Japanese returned in disappointment.

...

Qing court.

Beijing City.

Zeng Guofan, a loyal dog from the Qing Dynasty, received some news from Japan and hurried towards the Forbidden City. He finally found the opportunity to wipe out the world.

After entering the hall, I waited for a while and the morning court began.

As usual, Emperor Tongzhi was still there to be a puppet.

Empress Dowager Cixi was at a little behind, governing the country from behind.

"I have the foundation to report." Zeng Guofan was the first to speak.

"Oh." Behind the pearl curtain, the voice of the old witch Cixi came.
