In Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, the information that the Huaxing Army had recovered Taiwan soon reached the hands of Emperor Meiji.All the cabinet ministers also went to the palace to discuss with the emperor how to deal with the enemy.They all knew in their hearts that as long as Taiwan was taken, then their plan to collude with Li Hongzhang in a vain attempt to counterattack the Huaxing Army would definitely be exposed.According to the strength of the Huaxing Army to attack Taiwan, it would be easy to destroy Japan.Several high-ranking officials in the cabinet all sat with their heads hung with heavy faces, and this time they really stole chickens and rice.Only more than 10,000 foreign guns were successively accepted from Li Hongzhang, and the peasant army that had just been raised had not yet had time to be organized and trained, but they did not expect to provoke a catastrophe."
Have we delivered a letter of apology to New China, has the President of New China replied?"
Emperor Meiji asked the ministers with a nervous expression, and his face was full of expectation."
No" "No" "Everyone in the audience shook their heads, and there was no news from New China."
Your Majesty the Emperor, the matter has come to this point, and I can no longer look forward to peace talks with Huaxingjun.The Huaxing Army's ambitions against Japan were clearly exposed, and no matter how much we sued for peace, they would find an excuse to attack.The top priority now is to mobilize all the Japanese people to unite and resist foreign aggression together.When Genghis Khan wanted to capture our Japan, wasn't he defeated by us in the end?"
The Japanese army commander Takasugi Shinsaku stood up and shouted, and when he saw the dejected ministers, he couldn't help but be angry."
The commander is right, the Huaxing Army is attacking from afar, and we Japan will have a favorable position no matter how we go.I believe that under the leadership of the Emperor, we will regain the majesty of Great Japan, and we will fight to the death with the Huaxing Army," Ryoma Sakamoto, the new prime minister of the cabinet, stood up and agreed, agreeing with Takasugi Shinsaku's opinion.The current situation can no longer look forward to peace talks, and the only way out is to prepare as soon as possible and fight with the Huaxing army to the end."
Emperor, give the order, let us fight to the death with the Huaxing army, our southwestern feudal clans can also gather 300,000 soldiers and horses, although the weapons are not as good as the Huaxing army, but if you are guided according to the terrain, how can you fight once" Navy Commander Saigo Takamori couldn't help but shout for war, he had just trained a naval fleet in his hands.After the foreign devils stationed in Japan surrendered to the Huaxing Army, they left a lot of broken copper and iron in Japan.Saigo Takamori really built 20 wooden battleships of thousands of tons, and the guns equipped on the battleships were also left by Westerners, representing the highest technology of breech artillery."
Emperor, go to war, we support war" The other ministers watched as the three most powerful members of the cabinet spoke one after another, and they all echoed the voice.They were not willing to be bullied by the Huaxing Army like this, and the dignified Japan became a place where all countries could spread wild at will."
Well, the courage of the ministers is commendable, and it is indeed a blessing for our country.This time, our country is facing a life-and-death battle for the extinction of the race, and it all depends on the sacrifice of the ministers.I believe that if the god of sunshine had a spirit in the sky, it would definitely continue to be the lifeblood of our great Japan," Emperor Meiji regained a trace of calm on his face, and gave his ministers a generous statement in high spirits, his words full of unwillingness and resoluteness.What he was most worried about was that the ministers were retreating in danger, and seeing their fighting spirits at this moment, he finally put his mind at ease.Outside of Japan, an ocean-going fleet is coming at this moment.A total of 20 warships of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet marched rapidly in a goose-shaped formation on the sea.It is like a great wall of steel, breaking the wind and waves on the sea."
Commander, why does the president always have to get along with Japan, and are they worthy of being our opponents" On the command ship of the Taishan of the East China Sea Fleet, Deng Shichang stood straight behind Zheng Dahai, his eyes firmly looking at the land that was getting closer and closer in front of him.He had followed Zheng Dahai to Japan twice, and he didn't find anything special about Japan at all, which made Qiao Zhiqing so jealous.With a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, the Taishan is like a steel monster in the sea, roaring forward fiercely.Deng Shichang has been promoted by Qiao Zhiqing to the deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet, on the one hand, Qiao Zhiqing values his ability, and on the other hand, he is to train reserve talents for the navy.He didn't want the navy to be old-fashioned, and where there were young people, there would always be vigor."
Shichang, you only see the present of this country, but you don't see his future.Do you know why the Curtain Movement took place in this country in the first place" Zheng Dahai patiently enlightened Deng Shichang, and in terms of fighting, Deng Shichang will come up with the most novel tactics.But politically, he is still a little immature.This subordinate understands that the subordinate has also investigated this information in the first place.In Japan, the shogunate held real power for a long time, and the monarchy was in a state of subsidence for a long time.The reason why the Shogunate Movement took place this time was also because Emperor Meiji wanted to take back power from the shogunate. ”Deng Shichang stated his understanding and looked at Zheng Dahai intently, not knowing what he meant."
You haven't thought about it, how the Meiji Emperor is so good, there are so many helpers, why no other emperor has opposed the shogunate, but in the Meiji generation, there are so many people who are willing to work for him" Zheng Dahai looked at Deng Shichang's sad appearance, chuckled and asked again."
This, the emperor must be secretly buying people's hearts" Deng Shichang guessed randomly, and really didn't think about this problem."
Fei Ye" Zheng Dahai looked at Deng Shichang with an immature face, shook his head with a chuckle, and continued to preach to him, "All groups can get together, to put it bluntly, for some kind of benefit.For example, we can gather under the banner of the president in order to overthrow the Manchu court and return a beautiful mountain and river to our Han Dynasty.The reason why Emperor Meiji gathered so many capable military generals around him was also because of this.They are a group of people who desperately hope that Japan will become strong and prosperous, and they have all been influenced by the advanced civilization of the West, and their ideological views are also very advanced, and their desire for reform is far stronger than ours.This nation is very homogeneous, and the cohesion is extraordinary.If we leave it unchecked, I'm afraid that within three years, they will soon grow sharp teeth.Since the Ming Dynasty, Japan has never given up its ambitions for foreign expansion.In their eyes, China is a piece of fat meat that is so rich that it flows into oil.Once they become strong, we are the first to suffer.Dealing with such a nation, do you think the president will rest assured that he will sleep peacefully on the side of the couch?"
"The commander's words really enlightened his subordinates, if it is divided according to the president's class theory.Emperor Meiji is the interest group that represents the bourgeoisie," Deng Shichang suddenly realized thoughtfully, it turned out that there were so many implications hidden behind this.The president always admonishes him to look beyond the surface to see the inside."
The son can be taught and Shichang, the president appreciates you very much, work hard, you will definitely make great achievements in the future" Zheng Dahai patted Deng Shichang's shoulder with satisfaction, and also had great expectations for him.In the future, even if he is prosperous, he will be his old superior, how can he follow him."
The commander has won the award, and many things still need a lot of advice from the commander" Deng Shichang modestly touched his head, he has never been a person who gets carried away, and he was praised by Zheng Dahai a few words, and the responsibility in his heart has increased a few points."
Prepare to command the landing, I have been floating on the sea for several days, and I must soak in a hot spring after landing" Zheng Dahai nodded, gave an order to Deng Shichang, raised the flag and gave an order to the heralds.After the "Woo Woo Woo" fleet entered Ise Bay one after another, the whistle of the Tarzan instantly pierced the sky and constantly reverberated on the sea.The South China Sea Fleet followed, and the command ship Huashan also sounded its whistle.This time, the East China Sea Fleet was the vanguard, and they traveled to and from Japan many times, and their routes were more familiar than those of the South China Sea Fleet.The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, the Japanese port of Nagoya was completely revealed in front of the naval ships.The airships of the two squadrons of the air brigade had landed ahead of schedule, and the marines stationed in Japan, except for the soldiers on duty, were all on the shore to greet the landing of the Huaxing Army's Fourth Route Army.As the host, the shogunate was also welcomed by the bureaucrats of the shogunate led by Tokugawa Keisei himself.In order to demonstrate the strength of the Huaxing Army, Li Jun, the commander of the Marine Division, also deliberately relaxed the conditions and let the Japanese people in Nagoya also enter the port to watch.The sun had just risen in the east, and the first rays of sunlight on the shore were greeted by the mast that reached into the sky.Under the sea breeze, the white canvas spreads in the wind, like clouds floating on the sea.When the naval fleet was about to dock, everyone held their breath and looked in amazement at the scene that had never appeared in this dream.Nearly twenty steel battleships, shining with black muscles in the sun, towered above the harbor like hills."
Long live the Huaxing Army, long live the Huaxing Army, long live the Huaxing Army" In the Marine War, I don't know who shouted, and everyone on the shore raised their arms and shouted.The people of Nagoya also shouted along with the grunt, and they didn't know what kind of nonsense they were shouting, but they were even more excited than the Marines.The Japanese nation has worshiped the strong since ancient times, and they treat the Huaxing Army, which can defeat the Westerners, as if they were gods."
Qingshengjun, do you see this is strength, we Japan will always be like an ant in front of them" Qiao Shanxing stood behind Tokugawa Qingsheng and said coldly, seeing the ships of the Huaxing Army again, his heart couldn't help but fluctuate.More than once she wanted to board these ships again, to sail with them to the other side, to see the man she thought about day and night again, and she was content if only once.Tokugawa Qingsheng looked at the fleet on the sea without saying a word, and all his current rights were overtaken by Qiao Shan Xing.With the support of the Huaxing Army Marines, Qiao Shanxing already had a considerable number of peasant troops in his hands, and the shogunate had already begun a series of pro-Chinese reforms according to Qiao Shanxing's ideas
