124 Midnight Gunshots

Since its birth, humans have faced various threats and confrontations. In ancient times, humans had to fight wild animals and different tribes, and the root cause was to survive. A piece of meat, a cluster of wild fruits and even a stream would become the cause of human struggles.

After all, humans are high-quality species with IQ. In the long evolution, they found that the power of groups is greater than that of individuals. It is easier to survive in groups and more likely to win in battles. As a result, tribes appeared, and large tribes slowly annexed small tribes, and humans began to massacre more efficiently for the right to survive.

Later, the country appeared and the concept of nation appeared. The scale of war became larger and larger, and even the phenomenon of killing one thousand enemies was damaged by 800. The struggle for survival gradually became a bit of a rhythm of dying together. It was from that moment on that, humans had the idea of ​​compromise.

Compromise is not failure, it is a way to take one step back within a range that both sides can accept, so that the conflict can be resolved. This is an act that exceeds war in human development. Updated as soon as possible

In the idealist's mind, from conflicts between countries to conflicts between various factions in the country, they should sit at the negotiating table and compromise with each other to resolve the crisis.

To summarize briefly, in all political struggles, all factions feel unhappy, but the final result can be implemented by all parties. This is the greatest benefit of compromise. If there is no compromise in politics and all forces are complacent, then the result will inevitably be war.

The reason is very simple. If you want to live, others must also live. The end of not letting others live must be fierce resistance. This is like after the end of World War I, French Marshal Fooxi, after reading the provisions of the Versailles Contract, exclaimed, "This is not peace, this is just a letter of armistice for twenty years."

Look, the old politician is still keen on his eyes. He could see at a glance that such a harsh armistice treaty would only make Germany hate Britain and France even more, and the next war was absolutely inevitable. As expected, the humiliated German people launched Hitler, and at the same time started a bigger catastrophe.

It sounds like compromise is a very useful political medicine, but in real political struggles, compromise is often the most difficult to achieve, because the selfishness and greed in human nature will be exponentially amplified in the struggle. Who is willing to give up the interests in their hands?

There is another most important reason. Anyone who proposes political compromise is often the least pleased, and most of their ends are very tragic. For example, the more famous reformers in Chinese history, Shang Yang, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty, had bad endings, among which Shang Yang was the worst and was broken by a car.

The lessons of the past are right in front of you. How can future generations not think twice if they want to take this path?

The ideal in Xiao Letian and Ryuma Sakamoto's heart is to be a successful reformer. In the great changes that have not been seen in three thousand years, everyone hopes that the national destiny of their motherland can get out of the decline. However, if you want to reform, you must touch the minefield of redistribution of interests, which is sensitive and cannot be sensitive.

Want to remain neutral among all forces? Want to let all forces give up some interests fairly to industrialize and modernize the country? As long as you dare to do this, you will become the enemy of all forces, and what awaits you will definitely be doomed.

The cause of Ryuma Sakamoto's death is a mystery, but from a political perspective, his death is inevitable. The Six Gentlemen of 1896 died, and their death is regrettable, but it is also inevitable.

Want the country to be prosperous? Want to engage in industrialization? Want to popularize compulsory education? Want to modernize the army? Haha, can everything be done without money? Money does not fall out of thin air. In addition to establishing colonies and robbing other disadvantaged nations, it can only be raised from one's own country. However, the wealth in the country is not without a master, and has long been divided up by various forces.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. If you dare to reform, I will take your life. From the moment Tan Sitong and others started to carry out reforms, they were destined to be dead.

Sakamoto Ryuma's problem is not unsolvable, but Xiao Letian doesn't want to tell him that on the one hand, he does not have the obligation to solve the doubts of the Japanese, and on the other hand, this path is too evil, and most people really can't continue. A dinner lasted until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and nothing was discussed.

Xiao Letian walked slowly on the deserted streets of Naba, thinking about the predicament in front of him like a lantern. Don’t say he was not afraid, in fact, Xiao Letian was also in a state of mind. Everything he did in Ryukyu touched the rebellious scales of the Qing court. Don’t say that he had the protection of American citizenship, if the Qing Dynasty was determined to kill him, with his current strength, it would be really not enough.

"Time, what is missing now is time..." Xiao Letian's murmuring alarmed Xiao Hexin beside him. This young man was the one who could understand his strategic intentions best except Shi Dakai.

"Yes, I thought I would not have a conflict with the Japanese this time, so I secretly got an official identity from King Shangtai to trade with the Americans, but I didn't expect that these Japanese people were so crazy that they made such a big noise..." Xiao Hexin scratched his head.

"I guess in four or five days, the big men in the capital will know the news. Maybe why the court exploded..." Just as the two were analyzing the situation in a mess, a dull explosion suddenly came in the quiet night, and the sound was not far behind Xiao Letian and the others. Please come more and faster chapters.

Hum? The guards present had their hair blown up. Isn’t this just gunshot? Before Xiao Letian and the others could react, there were already harsh screams in the Japanese courtyard not far behind him, and chaos occurred without warning.

"Sir protect...set up a formation to protect Mr."

"Fuck, why are you protecting me? It's Ryuma Sakamoto, Ryuma Jun, something happened to Ryuma Jun. Go back immediately..." Xiao Letian pulled out his pistol and rushed back first. At this time, smoke began to appear in the courtyard, and the fire was faintly revealed from it.

Now Xiao Letian is the most important figure in Naba Port. He has been surrounded by fifty guards for a long time. These guards equipped with Western-style guns, when they saw that Xiao Letian had charged forward, they rushed forward and used their bodies to protect Prime Minister Xiao in the center.

The first person to rush into the courtyard was Xiang Shaolong, a master of Green Forest. Master Long did not rush into the house to save people, but turned over to the room and carefully observed the enemy situation. As a result, he saw a familiar figure running wildly in the north at a glance. Who else could it be if he wasn't the fog-hide ghost who had sneaked into him.

"Protect sir, I'll go chase the enemy. What's the fuck?..." After saying that, he stomped his feet and rushed towards the direction where the little ghost of Mizuki disappeared.

At this time, Xiao Letian and the others rushed into the courtyard. They saw that the tatami mat in the main hall was covered in blood, leaning against the short wooden table and life and death were unknown. The waiters around them didn't understand medical skills at all, so they could only watch their master bleeding. At this time, the backyard was also set on fire, and many servants were desperately trying to put out the fire.

Xiao Letian rushed over and gently picked up Ryuma Sakamoto, looked down and saw a bullet hole in the middle of his chest that was bleeding, and his consciousness was blurred.

"Yes...yes...it was done by the Japanese...new choice..." Before he finished speaking, Longma fainted and fainted.

"Xiao Hexin! Remove the door panel immediately and lay the quilt... Carry Longma Jun to the dock. There must be Western medicine on the foreign merchant ship. Now only Western medicine can save lives... Luo Huo, immediately blow the assembly horn and fireworks, and the city locks assassin, the assassin is Japanese..." At this moment, a figure suddenly came in with a kneeling and clambering in the backyard.

"Sir, I am the Shimazu family's ninja Mitsuhide Ghost... I am Sakamoto's bodyguard. I know who used the trauma..." Xiao Letian rushed up and kicked him in the head. "Damn, isn't Mitsuhide Ghost your sister? You are all birds of a feather..."

The big ghost of Mizuki kowtowed "No, we are not the same. She has betrayed the Shimazu family. She is my enemy now... Also, I know who provided the musket, it is Ejaihachiro, and I will never forget his back in my life..."

In his rage, Xiao Letian rubbed his face hard. This matter was too passive for him. If Ryuma Sakamoto died, those assassins would definitely put the shit on his head. Also, the last two words "Xinxuan" by Ryuma Jun are the new selection groups of the Tokugawa family? The new selection groups that love assassination the most.

The courtyard is in chaos now, and the guards carefully lifted Ryuma Sakamoto's body, and no one cares about the screaming maids around him. Even the big ghost of Mizuki was extremely close to Xiao Letian, who was not aware of such a dangerous situation.

The Big Ghost of Fog Hidden secretly looked at Xiao Letian, who was only more than three meters away from him, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. Now if he takes action, he will definitely be 70% sure to stab Xiao Letian to death.

"Damn it, little Bazi, you dare to peek at the Prime Minister..." Just when the Big Ghost of Wuyin wanted to take action, Luo Huo found out that the foreign gun in his hand was pressed against his head like a magic trick. "What do you want to do? Why are you so close..."

"Ah!" Suddenly, Xiao Letian behind Luo Huo roared. It turned out that at this moment, a maid who had just cried bitterly rushed over like a spirit cat, and her sharp nails cut through Xiao Letian's shirt on his chest.

"Damn! There are also assassins..." Xiao Letian fell backwards, and the vicious woman's hands hit Xiao Letian's throat like tiger claws.

"Protect your son!" Four or five figures rushed over and used their bodies to block the female ninja's attack. However, they never expected that the female ninja's nails were poisonous. A soldier who had been cut off his neck turned pale when the scene turned pale and poisonous gas killed him.

"Fuck! A group of Japanese madmen..." The Colt revolver in Xiao Letian's hand finally showed his power. He shot two shots and hit the forehead, one shot in the chest, and the female ninja fell to the ground with a thump.

"Hurry, hurry up, help me untie the leather armor, be careful of the poison on it..." Only then did people realize that Xiao Letian was wearing a very thin body leather armor under his shirt. This was what Master Long forced him to wear. Unexpectedly, he saved Xiao Letian's life at a critical moment.

After all, the nails are not as sharp as steel. The tough leather armor protects Xiao Letian's vitals. As expected, the time traveler is very lucky. "Catch all the servants in the courtyard and interrogate them separately... Damn, little Japanese will do such as assassination!"

Under the threat of dozens of foreign guns, more than 20 servants in the courtyard were arrested, including the Misty Hidden Ghost. The group quickly retreated to the dock, where the guards were the most concentrated.

At this time, several bright alarm fireworks had already exploded in the night sky, and the low ox horns also rang. Soon the whole city of Naba started to make a noise again, and countless teams of soldiers began to meet with Xiao Letian.

When the sky was getting brighter, Master Long, who was chasing the little ghost of Fog Hidden, came back. It was a pity that the woman escaped. However, while chasing, Master Long accidentally discovered a hiding cave. What was surprising was that there was Eagle Hachiro hiding in the cave.

How could Evil Hachiro be the opponent of Master Long? After eliminating Evil Hachiro in every possible way, he was tied up by Master Long into a rice dumpling and carried it back to the dock with one hand.

"Sir, this cartilage confessed halfway. He admitted that the musket used by the little ghost Mizuhok to assassinate was provided by him. This guy was like a fucking ground rat, digging holes all over the world to hide things. I found two big buckets of gunpowder in the cave where he was hiding..."
