Chapter 93 - Na Ba sleepless night
The tyrant's nights were peaceful, especially without the interference of the typhoon. The tyrant's citizens all slept soundly and peacefully, but the high quality of sleep only belonged to ordinary commoners. All the higher-ups in the Naha Harbor were unable to sleep, especially those from the Japanese, who had a sleepless night.
After Huashan Liyuan sent him off, he locked himself in his study and wrote secret letters one after another. These letters that carried the Shimadzu Family's code words were something only the patriarch and the important figures beside him could understand. In the letters, the birch elder introduced in detail all the details of Xiao Letian coming to the Naha Harbor.
”This subordinate is incompetent, and even now, I still can't find out where Xiao Letian's information came from, but I can confirm that Xiao Letian's understanding of the Japan is very deep, far surpassing our understanding of him … Now, what is certain is that Xiao Letian already knows all the details of the Southern Clubhouse Curtain, whether to try to rope it in or remove it.
Right now, the trouble Xiao Letian was bringing about was not only the redistribution of power within the Ryukyu Kingdom. He could already affect the political balance within the Japan.
On the Japanese mainland, the conflict between the Tsurukawa's Palace and the Southwest Inverted Pie was like fire and water. War was unavoidable, but both sides had not fallen out yet, and the preparation for war was not sufficient.
In the delicate balance, every grain of sand could be subversive. Don't look at how Xiao Letian was just an ordinary scholar, but as long as he clearly jumped into a certain force, the chain reaction would be extremely terrifying.
Not to mention how much money Xiao Letian had and how many troops he had, just his identity as a Master of Western Studies was enough to make all the other pro-Chinese school in Japan sway. Over the past few thousand years, the Japanese had been studying the culture of the continent with all their might. It could be said that Xiao Letian would be able to rope in an extremely large neutral sect just by waving his flag and cheering for one of them.
In the delicate political situation where both sides were afraid of each other, the deciding factor was usually those neutral parties who calmly observed the situation from the sidelines. If Huashan Liyuan really pushed Xiao Letian to the side of the Tsurukawa's Palace, then things would not be as simple as a celibate, it was very possible that his clan's general status would even be taken away.
The letter was brought away by the Spirit Demon Wu Yin. Under the cover of the night, the Ship Closure rode the wind and waves towards the direction of the northern Nine Prefectures Island. Japanese were very familiar with this route, it didn't matter even if they took advantage of the darkness. However, he did not know that atop the Ship Closure, there was a normal looking Japanese that was lightly dressed. He also brought a secret letter back to Japan and this letter was written by Zhu Zhongjingshang.
”Mr. Ryoma, it has already been a year since Nagasaki left. Wen Jun had followed Lord Shenghai Zhou to manage the four empires' artillery bombardment. A very troublesome matter happened recently in Ryukyu. Xiao Letian who is honored as the Grand Master of Western Studies of Qing Nation has already had a serious conflict with him, and it is very likely that it will negatively affect his great cause of recovery. I hope that Mr. Ryoma can teach me … ”
Zhu Zhongjingshang was not only an ordinary official, he was also one of the vanguard of the reformist, one of the first people to open her eyes to the world. It was just that because of his abilities and opportunities, he did not have much of a reputation in the reformist.
Xiao Letian was an outsider after all, so his deductions for the situation in the Japan were based on the information from his past life alone. If he knew that the inside of the Japanese was so ununited, his plans would definitely be even more bold.
Huashan Liyuan represented the benefits of a traditional name, and their campaign to overthrow the Tsurukawa's Palace was merely to use the power of reformation to make themselves stronger. They were actually the representative of the traditional strength of Japan.
But Zhu Zhongjingshang represented the most forward force of the reformist, they wanted to completely Westernize Japan, to seek a constitutional monarchy like the United Kingdom, so their horizons would be wider, and their ambitions would be more ambitious. Facing Xiao Letian who was a troublemaker, their first thought was not to look for the feudal lords, but to look for the opinions of the elites in their factions.
In the end, we cannot forget Kiyoshi Yamamoto, this great general with a fiery temper. Although he might be a little stupid and unhappy, he still represents a strong force in Japan, and that is the path of a warrior.
This was a loose alliance that was formed by the gigantic wild warrior, the trolls, and the warriors of famous experts. They did not have strict organization and lacked excellent Leader, so they could only rely on the various factions to become the vanguards of the war.
These fanatical low-level martial artists urgently needed war to change their fates. They needed to improve their social status in order to escape poverty. The representative of this group was the famous New Selection Group in the history of Japan. This group of pure violence belonged to the body of the typical warriors at the bottom. For the sake of the so-called warrior spirit and money, they would never consider who their knives were meant for.
In the hearts of these low level warriors, what they sought was only the slaughter itself and the reward of victory. As for whether or not they would fail, whether or not it would bring any harm to Japan's future national destiny was not their concern. Short-sighted and tyrannical was synonymous with this level.
Although he had already become a general in the Shimadzu Family, the way Kiyoshi Yamamoto thought about things in his head was actually no different from E Balang and the rest.
This group of arrogant Qing Guo Nu have already shaken our rule over the Naha Harbor. Right now, there are already more than ten merchants from China who have clearly expressed their rejection of giving us fees, they have already secretly contacted Xiao Letian. E Balang knelt on the tatami with one eye wrapped around and kowtowed towards his master, Kiyoshi Yamamoto.
”Nani?” That damned merchant actually dared to betray us? Did they really think that Qing Guo Nu was their backer? A rule that had lasted two hundred years in the Japan was not something that hundreds of people like them could overthrow. E Balang, bring some people with you to kill a few for me, kill chickens and show monkeys … ”
