Chapter 143 - The Attitude of a True Dragon

When humans were able to conduct Ocean trade, the development of nautical arts became the number one technology in every country. The Western Powers invested a lot of manpower and resources to research the new type of merchant ships and warships. Running faster, pretending more, and being safer are the ultimate pursuits of all navigators and traders.

And the peak work of the Wind Sail merchant ship was the famous scissor boat in the history of navigation. This sailboat that was purely designed for speed had already completely broken free from the restraints of the wind belt. Traversing the Pacific Ocean would only take 20 days, and the slowest would just be a little over a month.

After the war ended, Xiao Letian entrusted the foreign merchant boat to go to Beijing to find the American minister Hua Ruohan, and on the other hand, he entrusted Mike. When Carnegie returned to the North America Continent, he used his family's relationship to talk to President Lin Ken.

Xiao Letian was very confident. For a statesman who was obsessed with cleanliness, he had to keep his promise, because Xiao Letian would never believe that Lin Ken would go back on his word. Moreover, Xiao Letian still had two trump cards in his hands. One was the enticement of the Industrial Zones, and the other was the American Church who was growing closer.

Lin Ken, what exactly do you want? Whether it's in the interest of the United States or in a noble way, as long as you say it out loud, I, Xiao Letian, will give all of it to you.

Do you owe me a life? Do we need a lot of overseas orders after the Civil War? Have you received any kind reminders from the American Church these days?

I gave you your own favors, morals, and even benefits, but if that's the case, Lin Ken doesn't agree to Xiao Letian's conditions? Xiao Letian didn't mind jumping into the ocean to teleport back. Furthermore, before leaving, he had to scold the world for being too abnormal.

What Louis said was not wrong, right now, on the western coast of the United States, there was already a scissor boat that could carry His Excellency the President's secret envoy, as well as Mike who could receive the authority of the clan. Carnegie. On the blue Pacific Ocean, two excited Americans s were calculating the date non-stop. According to their current speed, everyone would be able to see the coastline of Ryukyu in fifteen days.

"Mike, tell me more about that legendary Western philosopher, Shaw. How magical is he?" The one who asked was a young naval officer called Ma Xiu. He was a young man whom the President trusted a lot, and he was the representative for this meeting.

"Oh!" Ma Xiu, are you still looking at those pictures? I noticed that you were really, really interested in this Xiao Letian, and all the way here, you only talked about him … "

It was not only along the way, but actually on the North America Continent, the two youths had always been discussing the battle between Xiao Letian and. Speaking of beauty, Mike even brought out his collection of photographs and later sketches based on memories.

In 1865, the black-and-white photography technology was very mature. Many captains in Napa's port had private cameras, and they used this miraculous technology to keep the whole process of the night's riots as the most valuable historical document.

Not only that, but amateur art buff Mike, on the voyage back, with pencil sketch the memory of the Hegemonical War. With the help of the photos and the sketch, Ma Xiu was able to visualize that tragic war in his mind without any obstacles.

The Japanese Rangers who had massacred the civilians, the Chinese and aboriginals who were struggling to escape, and the broken corpses in the midst of the flames of fire and blood proved the brutality of the Japanese. Then a banner appeared, under which were countless angry faces, and a handsome young man with a Colt in his hand was shouting his battle cry.

He could even smell the pungent smell of blood from the thick smoke. When the huge explosion at the dock engulfed the young hero, Ma Xiu could even feel his heart tighten.

It had to be said that the Americans s had a heroic feeling deep down in their bones, and Xiao Letian's experience was even more so of a hero.

"Mike, I've asked the President before we left. After we sign this agreement, I want to go with you to that mysterious ancient empire. I might have to stay there for a period of time … "Because I've applied for the position of a military official in China. Although I haven't received the approval of the President, the President has allowed me to temporarily replace him for a period of time …"

"Oh my god, this is great! I want to open up the Chinese market for my family. We can live together... Oh, right, Xiao Letian owes me a huge favor, we can go to China to eat his food, drink his wine, and play with his … "

Under the night sky of the Pacific Ocean, scissor boat cut apart the waves. Two young Americans on the bow had already started to study how to cut Xiao Letian down, and Xiao Letian had even sneezed a few times in his sleep at this time.

At the same time, in the northern part of the Naha Harbor, inside the Heaven's Tower, Huashan Liyuan who was dressed in pure white clothes was kneeling in front of the Master of the Island Dao Jinzhongyi.

I have lost the glory of Shimadzu Family for two hundred years, and I am no longer able to live by myself. "Sob, sob, sob …"

Dao Jinzhongyi and his father Dao Jinjiuguang did not agree to his request, they instead turned and said to Sakamoto Ryoma: "Sakaka, I am really sorry, I have troubled you and even injured you, I am very sorry!" After saying that, the two of them bowed their heads and saluted the Mr. Ryoma.

"My lord, please don't say it like that. Dragon Horse is extremely ashamed. That tyrant's journey this time did not bring benefits to the Shimadzu Family. Instead, I lost a lot of benefits. This is already a sin …"

"No, no, no. We've lost some benefits in name, but aren't we getting something from that?" What did the Shimadzu Family rely on to be able to stand for four hundred years in the Nine Prefectures? Wasn't he relying on the courage to open his eyes and look at the world? Although we lost a lot of people, but we met an amazing person, I think it was worth it! " Dao Jinjiuguang said calmly.

Dao Jinzhongyi nodded his head in acknowledgement, "The trend of the world is instigated by the talented, so what if thousands of commoners and soldiers die? Didn't we already establish a connection with Xiao Letian? A bad start might not only have a bad ending, but it might also be the best opportunity for us Shimadzu Family to learn from him! "

Sakamoto Ryoma's heart surged. As expected, there was no hidden master in this island. To be able to see hope from failure, this kind of nimble mentality was really too frightening. Thinking about it, Sakamoto Ryoma bowed his head and saluted: "Since Master is so enlightened, then I will be bold and submit my plans!"

The two leaders of the Shimadzu Family, upon hearing what the Dragon Horse had said, quickly straightened their clothes, and respectfully bowed their heads to ask for guidance. Even Huashan Liyuan had forgotten about the matter of caesarean section, so they similarly bowed their heads to pay their respects.

"Yes, the reason why Japan can survive is because they are not discouraged after failure, and because they continuously learn. We need to learn from the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, we also need to learn from the Western Powers. And today, a contemporary Master of Western Studies has beaten us with his knowledge in front of us. Isn't this the correct direction to point to? "

Hearing Mr. Ryoma's berating, the three heads present lowered their heads even more. We don't dare to have the slightest bit of resentment, we are only willing to learn from scholar Xiao Xu, and ask Mr. Ryoma to tell us the method! "

Sakamoto Ryoma nodded. Firstly, we must admit that as long as Xiao Letian doesn't die in Ryukyu, we won't be able to take him back. Of course, this isn't important anymore. From today onwards, the Shimadzu Family will face the Grandmaster from this continent with the most open heart. We need to be mentally prepared to part with the Ryukyu. "

"Didn't Xiao Letian want to set up the Foreign Legion? Send the most outstanding warriors of the Shimadzu Family out to let them learn as the wild warrior. I heard that Xiao Letian has already spread education throughout his new army, and even Xiao Letian has occasionally gone to lecture.

Furthermore, Xiao Letian invested into ten schools for Ba Ba, there was no need for any 'free education'. Students could enrol into any schools without paying tuition, and two of the schools were even military academies, so how could we not seize the opportunity and choose the smartest children to send to Ba to receive Western education. This would be the foundation of our future career!

Third, prepare well for the merchants of Shimadzu Family, encourage them to go there and use all means possible to integrate into Xiao Letian's cause. I can foresee that Yue Ba will very soon introduce Western-style factories, and it is very likely that Ryukyu will become the first country in Asia to go through initial industrialization!

Speaking to here, Sakamoto Ryoma smashed his fist onto the tatami and said excitedly: "This is a rare opportunity, we must give up the narrow-minded hatred in our hearts. And you, Huashan Liyuan, don't you have the courage to open your stomach and start from the beginning to learn from the west? What was courage? He who knows shame will be brave! Turn grief and indignation into power, and let your achievements wash away your sins. This is the right path … "

Huashan Liyuan's passionate speech touched the hearts of everyone present. Huashan Liyuan lay prostrate on the tatami, tears brimming from his eyes, not daring to raise his head, while the patriarch of Shimadzu Family was also infected by the Dragon Horse. A fire seemed to have been ignited in his heart.

"Yessie, is it industrialization? The ultimate secret in the hands of the Western Powers? Can we even touch the kind of power that can even make ghosts and gods retreat? "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh …"

It had to be said that the Japanese nation was a people who could remember the fight but not the food. Worshipping the strong was the genetic code of their people, and it was impossible to cut it off. This time, Xiao Letian convinced them all, but when they did, their attitude immediately changed by 180 degrees.

"Mr. Ryoma, I have a question, would Xiao Letian accept us? You must know that your plan cannot be deceived by him, will this Dongfang New Philosophy accept the talent of the Shimadzu Family? "

The Dragon Horse nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I am very sure that just by being able to establish a Foreign Legion with the Japanese samurai as the leader after the war, one could already see his stormy heart. On the battlefield, he was as vicious as an Asura from hell, but when his enemies completely failed, he could show the benevolence of a Bodhisattva … "

"He is not like a Qing nationality. The victor does not massacre the city, nor does he suffer humiliation or punishment. He is good at competing for the hearts of the losers, and is even better at seizing the souls of his followers. I even had a strange feeling that a dynasty would be born in his hands. I was even tormented by this thought until I trembled from head to toe and didn't sleep for the entire night … "

Sakamoto Ryoma subconsciously looked in the direction of the southern tyrant, and couldn't help but say, "I keep faintly feel that this man has … He had the qualifications to be an 'Emperor' … Yes, he's neither the leader nor the king, he's really just like a real dragon! "

Hearing the dragon horse's words, Heaven's Tower felt a cold wind blow by, causing a few of the Japanese s to tremble in fear.

"Mm …" Baby, come and smile for me... Hu Niu, Fu Hui, oh Fu Hui, come come come come, old master is home … "Fly, I want to fly too …" The sleeping Xiao Letian smacked his lips. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem to have any bullsh * t True Dragon appearance.
