Chapter 50 The Meiji Three Heroes
A light boat carrying He Xuan, and the sinking and floating.
Finally, we arrived at a ferry.
Here is the ferry to Japan.
When you get ashore and step on it, it is the land of Japan.
Here, Japan also set up a level.
There are many Japanese soldiers holding guns and speaking Japanese. Of course, there are also Chinese inside. Because it is close to Ryukyu. The one that has always been common in Ryukyu is Chinese.
"Ryukyu people? Pay the landing fee. If there is no Japanese yen, you can use silver." A Japanese soldier said in Chinese.
"Pay the landing fee." He Xuan took off a sword on his back: "Is this sword okay to treat it as a landing fee?"
The eyes of the talking Japanese soldier suddenly became cold: "You are seeking death, don't take your own way."
"Is that true?" He Xuan smiled.
Move your hand and brush it!
A soldier next to him who was about to raise a gun was directly caught in the sword.
Dead.
There were about a hundred Japanese soldiers guarding this level.
He Xuan took action.
They started to move their hands one after another and took bullets to hit He Xuan.
However, it was not hit.
Faced with such a very small number of soldiers, He Xuan did not have to activate the primary domineering body at all, but directly exerted his speed to the limit to dodge these bullets.
After a moment, there were dead people all over the land.
Only the Japanese soldier who started to speak Chinese was left. However, he was so scared that his legs were weak. He had never seen such a cruel person who could kill a hundred soldiers alone. The key is that these hundred soldiers were not simple people, they all held Western muskets.
Even the Japanese swordsman, Nobuzuki, Miyamoto Musashi, and Kojiro Sasa, these swordsmanship experts cannot do such a thing.
"Who are you?" He retreated, scared.
"Who am I? Others call me the young king."
"Young King!" The Japanese soldier suddenly remembered this name, and countless terrible records appeared in his mind. But everything ended here.
brush!
die!
A sword light passed by his eyebrows.
A bloody scar appeared from the middle.
He Xuan took out a piece of cloth and gently wiped it.
Next, we will attack the Japanese city.
There are only 60,000 soldiers in Japan, which is not difficult to deal with.
...
Japan is now a new government that has just closed down for not many years and the Meiji Restoration. The three controllers of such a new government are Keikogoro, Saigo Takamori, and Okupo Rito, who are the three heroes of Meiji.
Gui Xiaowuro looks like a weak middle-aged uncle. He is considered the military advisor among the three.
Takamoto Saigo was a man with a bearded face. He was the most capable of fighting among the three, and the general.
Okupo Ritsu is a middle-aged man who looks quite sunny and friendly. He is a politician among the three. The current Japanese Prime Minister.
This iron triangle holds the power of the Meiji new government.
"Just now, two news came. First, our sulfur ball strategy failed. The young king of the Taiping Army appeared, and he knocked down our army that was left to control Ryukyu. He is really unsolvable. As long as it is time for golden light, even if it is Western muskets, they will not hurt him."
"The second news came just now. The young king of Taiping Army has landed in our Japan. It is probably for us. This is coming to seek revenge for us." Gui Xiaowuro smiled bitterly: "If I had known that the young king of Taiping Army was so revenge, we shouldn't have sent troops to Daiwan back then."
"But, all the sects have sent, and there is no other way." Saigo Takamoto said in a deep voice: "We still have 60,000 people on hand now, and we have muskets. We should be able to gather to kill the young king of the Taiping Army."
"Half a year ago, Zeng Guoquan led 70,000 troops to attack Daiwan. The same idea was the same. But unfortunately, the young king of the Taiping Army was invincible within half an hour. Every time, he started to flash people in just twenty minutes, and he would have to kill and injured thousands of people. After so many times, the army finally collapsed completely." Gui Xiaowuro shook his head and said, "Although our army is more morale 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?" asked Okupo Rito, knowing that Katsukoro has always been resourceful.
"If we take the army and fight against the young king, it will be quite unprofitable. Not to mention that the difficulty of defeating the young king is very high, and it is almost impossible with the power in our hands."
"Even if you are lucky, you will defeat He Xuan, so what? We will lose most of our troops. It is quite unfavorable for our future plans."
"Young Heavenly King and the Qing court are mortal enemies. Letting Youthful King and the Qing court fight together is the most beneficial to us."
"Ki Xiaogoro, you are so happy. You obviously have a way to say it directly, but you just have to say countless reasons. Just be more straightforward." Saigo Takamoto said impatiently.
When Katsukoro heard Takamoto Saigo's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sometimes he felt that the Chinese scholar's words were inconsistent with a soldier, and it was really reasonable: "So, we should prepare for both."
"On the one hand, I'm asking the army to retreat, and don't conflict with the young king head-on. Japan is so big and it's our territory. As long as we retreat from the young king, he will not be able to find where we are in a short time."
"Second, we can ask a master to use poison to poison the young king. Although he can't kill bullets, he may not be afraid of poison. If he can poison him, he will naturally be eliminated. However, using poison may not be able to do anything to him, and he needs to make other preparations."
"The third is to discuss with the Qing court. It is said that the Qing court could not defeat the young king and wanted to ask the Westerners to take action. However, the Westerners offered a price of 100 million silver. We can discuss with the Qing court and work together to hand over the money and ask the Westerners to take action."
"It's no problem to have Western firearms, even if they are young kings."
"But in this case, we have to pay tens of millions of taels of silver."
"It's better than dying tens of thousands of soldiers." Gui Xiaowuro said: "Besides, the people in the Qing court are all idiots. I'll just give them a little more compliment. The amount we paid here should be limited to 20 million taels of silver."
"Okay, that's it." Okupo Litong made the decision.
Takamoto Saigo was still very dissatisfied: "We have 60,000 people, but we retreated because of one person. Thinking about it, I'm really unwilling to accept it, how can we know if we don't try it."
