Long live the Prime Minister!
When Xiao Letian returned to the Ryukyu, there would naturally be a grand welcoming ceremony, especially for the Ryukyu Kingdom's King Shang Tai. The Shang Family had been bullied by Japan for two hundred years, and now that the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu had gone to Japan with her troops, it could be considered revenge for her ancestors.
Another group of people became even happier, and that was the merchants of Ryukyu. The establishment of the Fusang Bank had proven that Japan had opened its doors to the public, and this super financial group, which had gathered all the shares of Japan's powerful and famous banks, naturally had an advantage in investing in Japan.
It might be difficult for outsiders to open mines in Japan, but the investment district of Fusang Bank was definitely open to outsiders because they had a stake in the bank, which was of vital interest to them.
Xiao Letian's curve ball is getting better and better. He will always be able to smoothly find a way to break through the enemy's defense line, and won't fight with you head on. Instead, he will carefully pry open your defense line and drag you into the water.
Europeans didn't understand the politics of the East, they believed in contracts more than human governance. However, Xiao Letian understood that in this Asian continent, contracts were nothing more than fart.
Although Xiao Letian could not get used to this either, but this was what was happening in the world. It was also not something that could be changed in a day and a night.
Europeans did not understand the unspoken rules of the inter-Asian relationship, so they had to rely on their strong ships and guns to forcefully advance their business. On the surface, it seemed like one force was enough to kill ten people, but in reality, there would be endless troubles at the end.
This sort of business that was driven by violence was destined to stimulate the strong feelings of disgust and rejection of the common people. The longer this emotion was accumulated, the stronger the final rebound would be.
The two most obvious examples were Japan and China. Through the Minzhiweixin, Japan had caught up with the last train of Second Industrial Revolution, and quickly accumulated military strength. Through a round of A Xiang and a war between Japan and Russia, they had gained their own prestige, and used battleships and cannons to force the West to sign a contract with a more fair attitude.
That is to say, Japan is going to improve its strength and force the European powers to change the treaty to end inequality. This is the same as working together with two business families. In the beginning, I was just a small factory and I could only accept even more harsh conditions. However, as I get stronger and stronger, I naturally have the qualifications to negotiate with the strong.
China, on the other hand, has opted for an even more radical path: to replace rejuvenation with revolution and to break the treaty instead of negotiation. If the treaty is not equal, then just abolish it. If you think you are unconvinced, you can keep fighting until you can't hit it.
These were the two ways that the backward countries of Asia dealt with the inequality in the Western Powers. It could not be said who was right or wrong, it could only be said that in different historical stages, they each had their own choices.
Today, Xiao Letian used a completely different method than the Europeans and opened the door to the Japan. From this day onwards, there was an additional base and place for raw materials for the Ryukyu Business Circle to pour down to them. The merchants that were attached to the Letian Bank were already preparing themselves for battle.
The officials and merchants took out 120 thousand points of enthusiasm to organize this welcoming ceremony, not to mention the ordinary citizens.
They knew that under the authority of the Prime Minister, a civil war had been stopped. The war, which had killed hundreds of thousands of people, ended after only a few days of bloody battles with the Osaka City.
