Chapter 714: Master Carl said that the righteousness is in the East King!

Chapter 716: Master Carl said that the righteousness is in the East King!

On the viewing platform near the Busan Shipyard Pier, Yang Xiuqing witnessed the first domestic ironclad ship of the North Korean Kingdom completing the most basic trial voyage (that is, I have been walking around the port), and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard a long whistle piercing the sky. On the watchtower of the port, the flag bearer waved the signal flag frantically: "The Japanese 'Yamato' requested to enter the port!"

"Original King, Japan's Yamato number is here!"

Lin Qirong, the Secretary of the Navy of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, learned flag language with the British naval consultant. He could tell who was coming from a distance and immediately shouted.

When Yang Xiuqing heard that the Yamato was coming, she didn't leave. She raised a monocular lens and looked at the sea. She saw a three-masted wooden warship breaking through the waves on the sea level in the distance. Sixteen chrysanthemum patterns embroidered with gold thread on the sail were shining in the sun. On the deck was a woman in kimono - it was Nanmu Rice. She was wearing a black sleeveless kimono, her collar was embroidered with the "third-level pine" patterns from the Nanmu family, and a beautifully crafted Taidao hanging on her waist. Behind her, four vassal lords, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, Mori Keiki, Yamagodo, and Naota Kaorshima, and the four vassal lords stood with their hands down. The four vassal lords also brought a group of retainers, each with a band of swords, with a respectful look on their faces.

"boom!"

The side of the Yamato is six 12-pound cannons fired together, and the cannon was fired. The smoke of gunfire has just dissipated and the gangway has been set up on the dock. Nanmu Rice slowly walked down, and the clogs were stepped on the springboard between the Yamato and the Busan Shipyard dock. The lords behind her staggered - the belt of Shanketang was hooked by cables and almost fell into the sea.

"Your Highness of the East!" Nanki Dayu knelt in front of Yang Xiuqing, his voice was sad, "The Tokugawa Shogunate imprisoned the Emperor, slaughtered the true believers, and accommodated the traitors of the Nagasaki Republic. Edo was already bloody."

Shimazu Kokusa knelt down with a puff, and took out a blood-stained "Emperor of Anti-Mao": "The four righteous men of Sa, Tu, Fat, and Chang have returned to the Shinto Palace. They all vowed to be loyal to the Emperor and begged the King of the East to send Korean soldiers to cross Hainan to fight for the war and save Japan from water and fire!"

Nanmu Daozi walked two steps to Yang Xiuqing's feet, and then held out a jade belt in both hands: "Long live the East King, this is the Emperor's belt edict. I beg the East King to send the heavenly soldiers as soon as possible!"

Yang Xiuqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Moore. The British minister's pipe turned around his fingers. He whispered to Friedrich beside him in German: "The Japanese feudal lords are just as reactionary as the Prussian Junkers. No, they are even more reactionary!"

Friedrich nodded slightly and responded in German: "But Nanmu Rice's request sets a dangerous precedent."

Moore exhaled a smoke ring: "But history is not driven by morality, but by productivity. The rule of the Tokugawa shogunate will only suffocate Japan, while the rule of Shintoku Temple may bring new Japan!"

He turned to Yang Xiuqing and switched back to Chinese: "The Tokugawa Shogunate was closed and forced to maintain Japan in the dark medieval period. Japan had no hope under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate."

Nanmu Dao Ran suddenly looked up, and his eyes suddenly appeared. She turned to the samurai crawling behind her and shouted loudly: "The Master Carl said - Dayi is in the East King!"

The warriors on the dock had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately shouted: "The righteousness is in the East King!"

Yang Xiuqing raised his hand and waved it lightly. Lin Qirong raised a red flag and waved it twice. Five "Kokang"-class steam wooden cruisers in the port raised the battle flags at the same time. The roar of the steam boiler shocked the seagulls.

"Three months." The python robe of the East King flies in the wind. "At most, I will lead the Korean heavenly soldiers and the Japanese samurai to enter Edo Castle and create another Japanese heavenly kingdom!"

That night, Moore was writing hard under a kerosene lamp in the British consulate in Busan, and the rustling sound of the pen scratching the paper with the sound of the waves in the distance.

"Karl, what do you think of this 'liberation of Japan'?" Friedrich handed over a cup of black tea. "Do you think the King of the East and the Rice can push the suffocating Japan forward?"

Moore took off his glasses and rubbed his nose: "Progress may occur, but real liberation can only be achieved by the Japanese workers themselves." He drew a wavy line on the manuscript paper: "But Shinto and King Yang Dong of overthrowing the shogunate together can at least loosen the feudal shackles."

Friedrich nodded: "What he said is that Japan's feudal shackles are too strong! Perhaps only India's caste system can compare with Japan."

Outside the window, the shipyard's machines roared all night. A cargo ship from Haizhou was unloading the cargo. The steam crane was not lifting artillery, but the rails produced by the Xuzhou Iron and Steel Plant, which were used to build the North Korean Tianguo Railway.

On the oak floor of the White House in Washington, Xianfeng's leather shoes made a series of anxious sounds. He caught a glimpse of the Russian ambassador Count Sczechly talking to the Secretary of State Hammond of the Southern Federation, while the door to the Oval Office of the White House was tightly closed. In this case, the talks between US President Davis and French ambassador Henry Merry have been going on for almost half an hour.

"The French offered £360,000 to buy the "Glory" ironclad ship, and were preparing to export 50,000 Miner rifles." Breckenridge came to Xianfeng and whispered to the latter, "but their delivery time will take eight months."

Xu Jishe suddenly coughed. The newly appointed ambassador of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom shook the sandalwood fan: "A Chinese 'Tianjing' class ironclad ship is spot, with a displacement of 5,000 tons and 32 70mm breech guns. It can be driven to Charleston Port in three months at most. Moreover, our offer is lower than that of the French, only 350,000 pounds!"

"Chinese goods are only 10,000 pounds cheaper than French goods." Breckenridge frowned slightly, looking like he looked expensive, "A fool knows how to choose."

Xianfeng sneered: "John, are you doing multiple-choice questions? You should buy our ironclad ship and the French ironclad ship together!"

"Buy it together?" Breckenridge raised his eyebrows, "Two ironclad ships cost £710,000. Is this too much?"

"Are you too much? Not much at all!" Xianfeng sighed and said, "You should have bought it long ago. If you have two ironclad ships now, you can bombard New York now!"

"Bombardment of New York."

The hearty laughter of the Count of Sczechly suddenly came, and he heard him speaking to Raymond in a stiff English: "Secretary of State, the Alaska Chartered Trade is willing to send another 10,000 veterans who participated in the Ninth Russian-Turkish War to the United States. In addition, His Majesty the Tsar also plans to send officials proficient in serfdom to the United States to teach you Americans advanced serfdom!"

"Really? This is great!"

The Secretary of State of the Southern Federation of the United States is already laughing from ear to ear. To be honest, Americans really don’t have the talents to engage in serfdom! And the Russian serfdom has been so prosperous and is recognized as the most advanced and powerful serfdom in the world!

The United States will definitely learn real skills by learning serfdom through Russia!

At this time, a sudden burst of laughter broke out at the end of the corridor. President Davis personally pushed open the carved wooden door of the office, and French Ambassador Henry Merry's silver rod knocked on the carpet with a light rhythm. "Everyone of the "League of the Constitution!" Davis raised the treaty in his hand, "His Majesty the Emperor of France declared that serfdom is the cornerstone of the civilized world! All progressive countries in Europe have implemented serfdom for a long time. However, the United States has never experienced the indispensable era of serfdom!"

In the White House, applause was thunderous!

Xianfeng took the opportunity to approach Breckenridge: "The Prime Minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom believes that Spencer's gun and ironclad ship are the key weapons for you to defeat the north." He whispered, "John, your Army Department archives store all the drawings of Spencer's gun? Can you give me a copy?"

The firepower of the Spencer continuous gun is very strong, which is a continuous rifle with a firing rate of up to 21 rounds per minute! However, it is extremely difficult to manufacture, and it also requires supporting the production of copper-shelled bullets. That is, industrial powers like the northern United States have the conditions to produce in large quantities! The southern United States can only stare at it.

"Biden Zhao, what's the use of drawings for Spencer's rifle?" Breckenridge asked in a low voice.

Xianfeng smiled: "Of course I will tell you good news after producing it for you. We have built a production line for fixed-loading of copper shells!"

Breckenridge's eyes lit up: "Really?"

The waves in the Pacific pushed the ironclad ship "Oriental" to the top of the waves and smashed it into the bottom of the valley. Hong Renyi grabbed the handrail of the bridge tightly, and his bright yellow dragon robe was eroded with white spots.

"King Gan, it's windy outside, you'd better go to the cabin to rest!" Lin Qirong, the Minister of the Navy of the North Korean Kingdom, was already very seasick. He did not fall down with the support of two "naval warriors" from the Satsuma clan.

Hong Renyu nodded and followed Lin Qirong into the officer's lounge. As soon as he entered, he saw Friedrich, who accompanied Hong Renyu to visit the United States, leaning on the dining table as a rock, checking the chart with the light of the whale oil lamp: "It doesn't matter if it's 37 nautical miles." He pointed to the compass on the side, "North Korea's industrialization is like this ship. If the direction is right, you can get there even if it's slower."

Hong Renyi sat down next to Friedrich with a wry smile: "Friedrich's Heavenly Master, in today's world, the strong are prey on the weak, so you can't be slow. If the North Korean Heaven is slow, it will become another Japan!"

At this moment, a naval officer from Japan's Satsuma clan pushed the door and entered the officer's lounge and bowed to Hong Ren's house: "Your Highness, the lookout post found the land. We may have arrived in Hawaii!"

"Have you arrived in Hawaii?" Lin Qirong, who was holding a spittoon on the side, was immediately excited when he heard this - he, the Minister of the Navy, was actually seasick! He was so dizzy that he had to find a land area to take a break.

Thinking of this, he said to the naval officer: "Yamamoto, pass my order, and the formation immediately turns to Hawaii!"
