C636 The Future Minister of Meiji

Xiao Letian nodded his head, "Are you Gao Shanjinzuo who has visited Shanghai before? Your Raiders is very beautiful, are you used to using the new Gun? "

Gao Shanjinzuo was only 28 years old now, and although he had advanced bravely, he could not be considered a mature politician. Upon hearing Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea's praise, he immediately choked and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea for your righteousness, if not for the Prime Minister's support from the Gun, Raiders might not even be able to win in a battle.

Xiao Letian looked at Gao Shanjinzuo and sighed inwardly. If history did not change, this young man would have died of an illness this year, and a few months after his death, Sakamoto Ryoma was assassinated.

Within a year, two heroes had died, the Japanese Minzhiweixin lost two more real strategist, and two more politicians who knew how to advance or retreat. In the end, the entire political situation in Japan was controlled by the fanatical soldiers and the Sky Emperor who did not know how to restrain himself.

"Gao Shanjun, the East Asian waves are just starting, you have to take care of yourself!" Just as Gao Shanjinzuo was moved beyond explanation, Xiao Letian's eyes once again looked towards Shan Xianyoupeng.

After Itou Hirobumi, the strongest person in the world in Japan, although she was just running errands for Sakamoto Ryoma and the others, but Shan Xianyoupeng's biggest advantage was his longevity. Amongst the people in power in the first batch of people in Inverted Pie, he lived the longest.

Shan Xianyoupeng did not die until 1922, when he had been a citizen of the Republic of China for 11 years. This powerful soldier had gone through two wars in the Changzhou region, the Minzhiweixin, the Wanchen War and the Southwest War, which had changed the Emperor's original plan. He had helped the Emperor to achieve the first centralization of power in the history of Japan.

He was involved in the afternoon war, but he was still involved in the Northeast War of Japan and Russia. By the time the Eight Nations Alliance arrived in Beijing, Shan Xianyoupeng was already Japan's Field Marshal and Prime Minister.

When Itou Hirobumi was assassinated in 1909, no one in the Japanese political scene could control him anymore. Changzhou vassal's power in the army had reached its peak.

"You warlord, I've finally found you. Don't worry, I'll keep my eyes on you. You're still useful now. Once you've become a thorn in my side, I don't mind personally dealing with you …" Thinking about that, Xiao Letian suddenly extended her hand out to Emperor Tongzhi who was sitting down, the little emperor grabbed the Western Ocean Battle Blade in front of him and handed it over to Xiao Letian.

"Shan Xianyoupeng!" Xiao Letian roared.

"Ha …" The young Mountain County Lord took a step forward and respectfully knelt in front of Xiao Letian. The Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea's counterattack on Europa had already deeply shocked Shan Xianyoupeng. This natural born warlord worshipped strong people from the bottom of his heart.

"Shanxian, I heard that you were the one who captured the small stronghold in the Changzhou War?" Xiao Letian asked.

"Ha …" A warrior's duty is to go out and fight. Hundreds of thousands of lives in this land, I dare not to not put in my effort! "

Shan Xianyoupeng, who was only 29 years old, was still well-defined and far from the level of political awareness that the future generation of Japanese warlords had. Against an old fox like Xiao Letian, who had only lived two lives, he was no match for him.

"Shan Prefecture Lord, this is the command blade I captured from a Prussian noble on the European battlefield. I will give it to you as a gift. Hopefully, one day, you will be like me."

Since ancient times, there had always been a common agenda for cooperation. If Xiao Letian wanted to condense the Inverted Pie's people, if he wanted them to listen to his orders, he had to start putting on the same big hat for both sides.

The High King's people had always been the core idea of the Japanese reformist, but their way of doing things had changed in the entire new era of thought. At the very beginning, they were truly people who had done everything they could to push the Emperor to the top position and start a war with the foreigners.

People like Tzu Zoyang's Kung Fu Cheng Ping-tai-tai, the martial arts capital of the Tzu zoye royal party, were the representatives of the early bustling sects. The incident in Japan where the Changzhou vassal opened fire on the foreign merchant ships was also the ultimate expression of this thought.

This kind of king thought was the same as many scholars in Great Qing. They did not want to change their mind and wanted to beat the foreigners out, so they could restore the order and dignity of their country.

However, it was a pity that this type of bustling force was quickly suppressed by the western cannons. The martial arts market was too strong, and the four nations of Britain, France, the United States, and the Netherlands had to submit to the cannons of the market. The Changzhou vassal did not even dare to repair the cannons of the destroyed cannons.

, Sakamoto Ryoma, Shan Xianyoupeng, Dajun Bao and the others all realized that in the face of the strong Western powers, Japan had to learn to bow their heads and work hard to change itself to accept new things.

Pushing the Emperor to the throne, letting the decaying Mu Clan go, and finally bringing about the country's transformation into the west, that was the Inverted Pie's philosophy.

In fact, the entire Japanese Minzhiweixin was challenging the Western Civilization. At that time, the ultimate injustice of the Japanese rulers was to become the Leader of Asia, replacing the historical position of the Central Plains civilization.

The Northeast Russo-Japanese War, the source of the First World War to the Second World War sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and finally unconditional surrender, this people for a whole eighty years of a dream.

In the end, the Americans broke the bustling dream of Japan. From a psychological perspective, this country had completely bowed down to the Western Civilization and became a vassal of the United States.

Xiao Letian took the command blade he got from Viscount Ah Lan and placed it in Shan Xianyoupeng's hands. Looking at the excited warlord leader, Xiao Letian knew that his words were effective, Inverted Pie was still the Inverted Pie in history, their hostility towards Western Powers came from the bottom of their hearts.

"Do your best, Shanxian. One day, you may become a great general of mine and command a hundred thousand men and horses to traverse this world. This is not impossible!" Xiao Letian nailed a nail in his heart once again.

Just as Shan Xianyoupeng was expressing his loyalty to Xiao Letian, suddenly, a very complicated gaze from the kneeling crowd shot towards him. A strong sense of unwillingness and stubbornness caught Xiao Letian's attention.

"Mr. Ryoma, who is that young man seated at the back? With such a powerful gaze, stand out and let me have a look! "

Without waiting for Sakamoto Ryoma's introduction, a group of short young men quickly walked to the center of the tatami, and started to speak in fluent English: "Esteemed Prime Minister, I am from Changzhou vassal, a graduate from London University. I have returned to Japan after the event, and heard that Prime Minister's military might shocked Ouroboros. With that said, he knelt on the tatami.

Xiao Letian's heart thumped loudly, "Damn, Itou Hirobumi! The First Prime Minister of Japan, the leader of the Wen Zhe faction, was able to suppress the entire Japanese warlord system. When she was still alive, Shan Xianyoupeng did not dare to jump up and down.

What an amazing person! Although Xiao Letian disliked him greatly after he led Japan to win the afternoon sea battle, he could not help but be convinced that this was a formidable person.

He was the one who led the victor in the afternoon war, and he was also the one who led the victor in the Russo-Japanese war. He even went to visit the Beijing to propose reforms to Kang You Wei and Guang Xu when the transformation failed.

Xiao Letian's feelings towards this short man were extremely complicated, because Itou Hirobumi was the one and only rare strategist that had a wise mind, he was simply a statesman that knew when to advance and when to retreat.

His diplomatic strategy for East Asia was clear: to defend the real interests of the A'Mai War, to run North Korea and Taiwan in depth, and to refuse to take over China.

Wild History once said that Itou Hirobumi had a so-called political will. In his plan, Japan must learn to be calm, and the newly acquired territories must be digested for a hundred years before the army can continue to grow.

Japan was simply too thin and weak. After eating two pieces of fat in one go, he must stabilize his mind and not be greedy. He must digest the meat in his stomach into energy so that he could become stronger before considering new benefits.

To blindly march inland from the Central Plains and even fight against the Western world in a moment's time was not a wise move. It was very likely that they would not get any new fat, and they would even have to spit out the two pieces from their stomachs.

Not even forty years after his death, his successors had already vomited all of the fat that the Minzhiweixin had eaten after his death, leaving behind only one Ryukyu.

Thinking carefully was extremely terrifying! If Japan had completely followed Itou Hirobumi's diplomatic tactics and protected the Minzhiweixin's victory, instead of launching an invasion, they would have adopted a national defense strategy to survive the second world war.

"Lord Ito …" How old are you this year? " Xiao Letian coldly asked.

Itou Hirobumi stared blankly for a moment before replying, "I was born in the year 1841 of the Western Calendar. I was just 26 years old this year …"

"Cough, cough …" Xiao Letian coughed twice, thinking that he was young, and that he was still someone he could fight for. I don't want to kill him for now, let's just keep it for later.

Thinking about it, Xiao Letian turned his head and gave a few words to Dragon Lord, who nodded his head and quickly walked out. Soon enough, an old notebook with a leather cover was brought in by Dragon Lord as if he was holding a treasure.

Xiao Letian stretched out his hand and said to Itou Hirobumi, "Come, take a few steps forward … This notebook is the diary of my expedition to Europe last year. It contains a lot of information about my judgment of the situation in Europe, and you can see that there are still a lot of photos here as evidence! "

"You will definitely understand when you return from studying in England. Take it, consider it as a gift from me. I hope that you can become a true strategist of Japan and not a short-sighted politician …"

Everyone gasped after hearing what he said. No one expected Xiao Letian's expectations of him to be so high. Is this the teaching of clothes? Is this the selection of Indoor Disciple?
