093 Naha sleepless night

The nights in Naba are peaceful, especially without the invasion of summer typhoons. The people of Naba all slept sweetly and at ease, but high-quality sleep only belongs to ordinary civilians. The senior officials in Naba Port all suffered from insomnia, especially those Japanese, who spent a sleepless night.

After Huashan Liyuan sent Xiao Letian away, he locked himself in his study, writing secret letters one by one. Only the head of the family and the big people around him could understand these letters with the secret words of the Shimazu family. In the letter, the old man from Huashan family introduced in detail all the details of Xiao Letian coming to Naba Port.

"I am incompetent. I still can't find out where Xiao Letian's information comes from, but I can be sure that Xiao Letian has a deep understanding of Japan, far better than our understanding of him... What can be sure now is that Xiao Letian already knows the details of the fall of the four southwestern vassals. I hope the head of the family will make it clear..."

The troubles caused by Xiao Letian now are not just the redistribution of power in the Ryukyu Kingdom. He can already affect the political balance in Japan. Now his response to Xiao Letian is no longer something that he can decide on.

In Japan, the conflict between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Southwest Anti-South Shogunate has become as powerful as fire and war is inevitable, but the two sides have not yet broken up and the war is not prepared for it. If the war begins at this time, it will be a big bet for both sides.

On the delicate balance scale, every grain of sand that is extra may be subversive. Although Xiao Letian is just an ordinary scholar, as long as he jumps into a certain force with a clear stand, the chain reaction brought about is definitely very terrifying.

Let’s not talk about how much money Xiao Letian has and how many troops he has. Just talking about his identity as a master of Western learning can already shake the pro-China faction in Japan. For thousands of years, the Japanese have been desperately learning the culture on land. They naturally have a sense of closeness to scholars from China, and they are very impressed. More and faster chapters are invited. It can be said that Xiao Letian can win over a very large neutral faction by waving a few words for a certain side.

In the subtle political situation where Maka beats the wolf at both ends, the ones who decide the winner are often those neutral factions who observe calmly. If Kurigen Kawayama really pushes Xiao Letian to the Tokugawa Shogunate, it will probably be as simple as a caesarean section. It is very likely that the identity of a general in his family will be deprived of.

The letter was taken away by the Great Ghost of Fog Hidden. Taking advantage of the night, a barbarian boat sailed through the wind and waves and headed towards the direction of Kyushu Island in the north. The Japanese were so familiar with this route that it didn't matter even if they took advantage of the night. However, the Great Ghost of Fog Hidden did not know that there was a Japanese dressed in ordinary feet on this barbarian, who also returned to Japan with a secret letter, and the letter was written by Takenaka Inoue.

"Ryuma Jun, Nagasaki has been together for a long time. Wenjun followed Lord Katsuhibashi to adjust the incident of the four countries' bombardment of Xiaguan. The meritorious Zhuo Zhuo is really gratifying... A few days ago, a very difficult incident occurred in Ryukyu. Xiao Letian, who is respected as the great master of Western Studies in the Qing Dynasty, has had a serious conflict with the Shimazu family, which is likely to have a negative impact on the great cause of restoration. I hope Ryuma Jun can teach me..."

Takenaka Inoue is not only an ordinary civil servant, he is also a pioneer in the reformist faction. He is one of the first people in Japan to see the world with their eyes open. However, because of his ability and opportunity, he has little reputation among the reformist faction.

After all, Xiao Letian is an outsider. His deduction of the situation in Japan is based on information from his previous life. If he knew that the Japanese were so disunity within him, then his plan would definitely be more bold.

Kurigen represents the interests of traditional daimyos, and the anti-scene movement they carried out was just to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate by using the power of reform, thus making their own strength stronger. They actually represent the traditional Japanese power.

Takenaka Inoue represents the power of the most avant-garde reformist. What they want is to completely westernize Japan and seek a constitutional monarchy like Britain. Their horizons are broader and their ambitions are broader. Facing Xiao Letian, the troublemaker, the first thing they think of is not to find the feudal lords, but to seek the opinions of elites from the same faction.

Finally, we cannot forget Yamamoto Kiyoshi, a hot-tempered general. Although he is a little stupid and unhappy, he also represents a powerful force in Japan, that is, the pure way of warriors.

This is a loose alliance composed of huge wild samurai, ronin and the lower-level samurai of all the famous masters. They do not have strict organization and lack excellent leaders. They can only rely on various factions to become the pioneers of war. Please visit more and faster chapters.

This group of fanatical low-level warriors urgently need war to change their destiny. They need to improve their social status to get rid of poverty. The representative of this group of people is the famous Xinxuan Group in Japanese history. This purely violent group belongs to a typical collection of low-level warriors. For the so-called samurai spirit and money, they never consider who their knife is going to kill.

In the minds of these low-level warriors, they are only pursuing killing itself and the rewards they bring after victory. Whether it will fail or whether it will harm Japan's future national destiny is not what they need to consider. Short-sightedness and tyranny are synonymous with this class.

Yamamoto Kiyoshi is essentially such a samurai. Although he has become a general of the Shimazu family, the way he thinks about problems in his mind is actually no different from that of the ronin such as Hachiro.

"General Yamamoto, you want to make the decision for us. This group of Qing slaves is so arrogant that it has shaken our rule over Naha Port. Now more than a dozen Chinese businessmen have clearly stated that they have refused to pay us protection fees. They have secretly contacted Xiao Letian..." Ejarao, who had one eye, knelt on the tatami and thwarted his master Yamamoto Kiyoshi desperately.

"Nani? Damn businessmen dare to betray us? They really think that this Qing slave is their backer? The rule of Japan for more than two hundred years cannot be overthrown by these hundreds of people... Evil Hachiro, take people to kill a few families for me, kill chickens for monkeys..."

In normal times, Yamamoto's orders Eihachiro would definitely rush out like an evil dog, but the dense musket shooting today has scared him. In his mind, Xiao Letian is a demon. Updated at the first time

"General Yamamoto, you are not timid. It's because these Chinese people are so powerful. You haven't seen those muskets, and they are really not something that humans can resist..." Before Eihachiro finished speaking, Yamamoto Kiyoshi took action like lightning and fired his mouth hard.

"Baga, Baga... Have you lost the soul of the warrior? Don't say whether you can survive by disobeying me. Do you know what serious consequences will be caused by allowing the Chinese to be ruthless in Ryukyu?"

Yamamoto Kiyoshi pushed Eihara to the corner of the wall. Eihara, who did not dare to resist, crawled over again with his hands and feet, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"There is a proverb in the distant West. In the storm, the camel prays that the owner will let it drill its head into the tent to avoid the storm. The soft-hearted owner agrees with the camel's request, but then the camel will continue to ask for the neck, front legs, and front half of the body to enter the tent. When the owner has no place to settle down, the camel will kick the owner out... Do you understand now? If we give in from the beginning, what is waiting for us will definitely lose Ryukyu completely..."

Yamamoto Kiyoshiro looked at the flickering eyes and knew that he was completely scared. He had no choice but to promise, "Hayaro, be braver. As long as we can overcome this difficulty, I will personally ask the head of the family to accept you as the latest batch of samurai..."

"Really?" Eihachiro was excited when he heard that his identity had room to go further. More and faster chapters were invited. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the enthusiasm of the Japanese samurai class for identity. This may have a lot to do with the solidification of the class in Japanese society for hundreds of years. Compared with China, the lower-level people in Japan have much fewer channels to change their destiny. More and faster chapters are welcome.

Yamamoto Kiyo said seriously, "The Qing people are not scary. Although they have a powerful musket, their number is too small. If we choose field battles and chaotic wars to disperse the forces of the people, we can defeat them one by one. As for the samurai identity you want, I can assure you..."

Evil Hachiro's face turned red and white. He was extremely conflicted inside. After struggling for a long time, he smashed the tatami with his fist. "Hai... For the sake of Shimazu family, why should I cherish my life? I will mobilize the ronin now, everything is waiting for your order..."

The Japanese are colluding with each other, and the Chinese are not idle either. At Liang Kun's home, more than a dozen Chinese businessmen are gathering together to discuss a rare opportunity for hundreds of years.

"Mr. Liang, please tell us what the truth is. Is Mr. Xiao's chance of success? How many resources does Mr. Xiao have? You should know that the lives of more than 100,000 Chinese merchants in Ryukyu depend on today..."

Liang Kun knew the concerns of these businessmen, and of course they could get rid of the suppression of these Japanese people when things were done, but once they failed, the Japanese revenge would definitely be very cruel. This nation that would cut off one's stomach at any time would not only be cruel to itself, but also to the enemy. Updated at the first time

Liang Kun didn't want to deceive these businessmen. He was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I don't know how much background Mr. Xiao has. What I know is actually similar to what you know. And what you don't know is a high level of secrets, and I can't tell you..."

"I can only say one thing, the situation is not as optimistic as you think. The gap in strength between the enemy and us is too big. If we fight head-on, our chances of winning are very small..."

There was a sound of gasping in the room, and it took a long time to make an unwilling voice to be heard, "How could this happen? What Mr. Xiao showed today is different from what you said. He beat Japanese ronin on the dock and demolished the Japanese gambling hall. How could he be so arrogant that he had no strength?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiao treats the Japanese like this, and Riyuan Huashan still invites Mr. Xiao with the highest etiquette. Can't this prove your strength?"

The businessmen in the room were full of unwilling expressions. They really couldn't accept this reality. After more than two hundred years, a big man from his motherland finally landed on Naha Port. This may be the last opportunity once in a lifetime.

Liang Kun blushed and said, "Mr. Xiao, of course, has the power of being arrogant. The Japanese call Mr. Wushuang. Even if the two countries go to war, they can avoid death. But Mr. Wu's reputation can only protect Mr. himself and the people around him. Can he really save the Chinese in Hong Kong?"

When it comes to this, the people in the house stop talking. They know that Liang Kun is telling the truth. The mother country doesn’t care about them overseas wanderers. They have seen it for hundreds of years. Sometimes the so-called hope is just a dream of Nan Ke.

The night became darker, and the merchants walked into the dark streets of Naba under the help of their friends, and the dim lantern light spread out in all directions. Liang Kun, who was standing at the door, sighed, "Sir, why are you bringing such a few people? Do you know how much hope your arrival has given Naba these Chinese businessmen?"

At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from the roof, "Liang Pian General, do you seem to have no confidence in the military advisor?" Liang Kun hurriedly looked up and saw that it was Xiang Shaolong.

"Master Long! Are you back from the competition? Wait, why is your face so bad... bloody! You are injured..."
