"Who!" Jin Changsen stood up and turned his head to roar into the darkness behind him. In the swaying torch light, several figures were walking towards him quickly.

"Cai Mao, Lin Yuanmiao... Well! Fan Jian, shopkeeper Fan? Haven't you returned to Tanggu? Why are you back..."

"Haha, do you really want me to leave? After I leave, you can do whatever you want? Whose arms do you want to push Ryukyu into this time? Let me think about it, Japan is no longer reliable, you won't choose, the Qing Dynasty never cared about Ryukyu, and you won't choose..."

"You may have tried to contact Americans, but unfortunately the United States will only cooperate with Xiao Letian. If you don't have a chance, then the rest will be Britain and France..."

"If you have contact with the British, you don't have that kind of way, and the British may not be able to like Ryukyu. After all, they have Hong Kong and Shanghai Concessions, which is enough for them to use... So your choice is only the last one, that is France."

Before the old shopkeeper finished speaking, Lin Yuanmiao rushed up and spitted out a mouthful of no identity and spitted on Jin Changsen's face, "Traitor, traitor! After being a Japanese slave, do you want to be a foreign slave again? I'm ashamed to be a minister with you!"

At this time, the Navy General Cai Mao, who personally accepted his fate, also sighed and shook his head, "Brother Jin, if you had to surrender to Japan in the past, we could forgive you, but now you surrender to foreigners, you really can't forgive me... Listen to my advice, go home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. When the Prime Minister comes back, we will plead for you!"

"Hahaha...haha!" The thick phlegm on Jin Changsen's forehead was not wiped at all. It seemed that he wanted to spit on his face and fucked himself.

"I know you will scold me. You are all moral gentlemen. Just I, Jin Changsen, are villains! But have you ever thought about it? If a weak country wants to survive, it is not your humble gentlemen, but you will always rely on us villains!"

Jin Changsen's face was covered with tears. His lifelong grievances burst out at this moment. "I am a villain, I admit that I am a villain, but if you don't treat it, I won't treat it, so who will do it? If you can't govern the country, you must know how to bow your head to reality!"

"When the Japanese were there, the three thousand armored feet and the fleet of ships were added to the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was suppressed tightly. At that time, Cai Mao, you were the general of the Imperial Guard. How many soldiers do we have? Lin Yuanmiao, you are in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. How much money do you think our treasury is?"

"No soldiers, no money. Do you only know how to stand on the river bank and laugh at us who fell into the water? Damn, I don't go to have relationships with Japanese and foreigners, and I don't go to be a villain. Who will be responsible for your Majesty's safety?"

Jin Changsen pointed his hand at his colleague who was pushing him up and said sadly, "Yes, I admit that I was wronged. I didn't expect that the Prime Minister had such a despicable means and brought a group of people to kill the Japanese thugs. I was convinced, I was completely convinced. Even if the Prime Minister killed me with one knife at that time, I would have no complaints!"

"The Prime Minister did not kill me, nor did he even take away my official position. I, Jin Changsen, are not the ones who are grateful and do not repay me. This heart in my chest is not black. If the Prime Minister is in Ryukyu and in Shuri City, even if foreigners from all over the world come to me, if I, Jin Changsen, have a little surrender, I will not die a good death!"

Speaking of this, Jin Changsen took two steps back, leaned weakly against the wall, and said quietly, "But the Prime Minister is not here. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister doesn't know the life and death of the Prime Minister. It's a pity that we have only developed our strength for a year. What should we use to fight against the Western Barbarians? For the sake of the current plan, we can only surrender to the Western Barbarians early. Our Ryukyu Kingdom must overcome this difficulty!"

"Haha, it's extremely ridiculous. Do you give in if you want to give in? You really think that the Western Russians are good men and believers. You can live without any blame as long as you kowtow and give in? This is a dream!" Cai Mao was not polite at this time. He pointed at Jin Changsen's nose and scolded.

"For more than a year, I don't know how you came here. I'm afraid you haven't read the Prime Minister's Travels to the West once. I guess you've been listening to the small lessons you taught us many times!"

"The Prime Minister has said more than once that the future world is a great change and a great reshuffle. Countless powerful countries will rise, and countless weak countries will decline. This is the trend of the times and it is not something that humans can resist..."

"If our Ryukyu is located in the deep ocean, away from the busy waterway, and if we hide in the desert of North Africa and avoid the clutches of industrial civilization, perhaps we can barely maintain our country's destiny and live in poverty for a hundred or a thousand years, who can say it is accurate?"

"But our Ryukyu Kingdom is the quadrilateral of the world in the East China Sea. It can control the keyhole of the East Asian ocean. Whoever can control this place can lock the door of East Asia... As long as a powerful navy is in hand, we can bombard Japan and North Korea to the north, and we can cover Taiwan's South China Sea to the south..."

"The coastal commercial roads along the Qing Dynasty will be controlled by our artillery, and the deep blue waters in the Pacific will also become a place for us to show off our power! Jin Changsen, wake up, Ryukyu is the place of four battles, do you want to hide your head and live a small life? You are dreaming!"

Cai Mao really improved. He was a fanatical believer in Xiao Letian's Western learning. When he completely fell to the prime minister's wall, his main learning direction was modern naval and geopolitics.

Xiao Letian is very clear about the terrifying level of human science and technology in the future, how the form of war will change in the future, and the competition between countries for global strategic locations will reach a white-hot level.

It is obvious that the Ryukyu Kingdom is such a place of four battles. Perhaps it is still a bit difficult for the great powers to occupy and digest the Ryukyu Kingdom in the era of sail battleships. However, as time goes by, when human productivity and war destructive power increase a little more, I am afraid that Ryukyu will not be so lucky.

The same is true in history. In 1871, five years later, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan would send troops to capture Ryukyu, destroy its ancestral temples, withdraw its country's name, and even capture King Shangtai to Japan. From that day on, the Ryukyu Kingdom officially disappeared into the long river of history.

"The ancients said that every man is guilty of being guilty of being a treasure. The precious geographical location of our Ryukyu Islands is the flawless jade. There are too many people staring at us. We will be eaten up sooner or later!"

With a bang, Jin Changsen's fist slammed hard on the wall, with surprising strength and blood splattering everywhere. The fence-leader roared with all the strength in his chest.

"I know! Of course I know! You have read the adult books and I have read them too. I didn't stop the small class you taught. I don't understand what you said!"

"Wuwuwu... But what can I do if I understand? The gap in strength has been formed. Survival of a weak country is so difficult. What do you want me? What can I do? A dying person who is suffering from all kinds of diseases, what can I do besides using ginseng soup to hang my life?"

"Wuwuwu, Prime Minister! Why are you not here? Why are you not here? Why are you not sure about your life and death? If you are here, there may be a miracle, but you are not here... We don't understand the magical skills that use to seize the spirit of heaven and earth for yourself!"

This is the cry of the weak country, and this is also the reality faced by the weak country. At that moment, everyone, including King Shangtai, put away their anger at Jin Changsen. They sighed secretly, and they had already understood the heart of this old minister.

After all, Kim Changsen is a pragmatist. He is loyal in his heart and has his own moral values. However, he understands better that people should bow to reality. Since many unfairs exist, there is a reason for them to exist.

This is a minister who is mixed with the poor. He is not good at using strong medicine to remove the root of the disease. He only knows how to use warm and tonic medicine to extend the life of a regime. There are too many such politicians in human history. Not all people can become heroes at the forefront, and pragmatists are always the majority.

The crowd suddenly became cold on the top of the city, and no one knew how to speak. The imperial guards in the distance were hiding far away, for fear that there would be a conflict in the next second that would affect the fish.

After a long time, Fan Jian walked to his side with a sigh and whispered, "You have your difficulties, but now we have no way out. Do you know why I returned from the sea? Because I have already obtained the latest information..."

"Now the French emperor has sent special envoys to assemble all the warships in the Indian Ocean that can be expeditioned. There are a total of ten warships, a total of 600 artillery pieces. They are coming from south to north. And we have not received any declaration of war until now... My goodness, think about it carefully, will these French people appreciate your weakness?"

"What!" Jin Changsen screamed in fear, then blocked his mouth with his hands.

"The French have fought undeclaredly? Did they directly send a fleet to attack us?"

Fan Jian was right, thanks to the little good fortune left by Xiao Letian. When he was attacked by thugs at the Tanggu foreign company, a French merchant ship once provided help to Xiao Letian and the others. The captain was named Corsica.

Although Corsica is a Frenchman, he is also a businessman. It is precisely because of his close relationship with Lotte Foreign Company that he has made a lot of money in these ocean trades.

The merchant is pursuing interests. He knows that if the expeditionary fleet destroys Lotte, it will be difficult to find such a good partner in the future.

Without thinking for a long time, the Captain of Corsica brought the information that the Expeditionary Force was about to attack Naba to Naba, and happened to block the old shopkeeper Fan Jian who was about to return to Tanggu in the sea.

Fan Jian was so scared that he almost paralyzed when he heard this. Naba's city was so important to his son-in-law. He also communicated with American cable merchants two days ago and wanted to lay a submarine communication cable from Naba to Tanggu, which shows the importance of this city.

The old shopkeeper ordered his return without saying a word, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Shuri Castle, he saw the swaying Jin Changsen coming.

"Mr. Jin, I have told you all the information. Now the French are furious and want to engage in a punishment battle. Although in terms of military tactics, you cannot raise troops in anger, but now the French have done this. Will they accept your act of showing weakness in anger?"

At this time, Jin Changsen was awakened. He suddenly reached out to wipe the tears from his face, and his waist was exerting force and stood straight again.

"War without declaration? Fight without declaration! This is the intention to destroy the reign of our country. Since we have already broken up and unreasonable, what else can we be polite? Let's prepare for the war!"

"Jin Qing!" The young King Shang Tai couldn't believe his ears. He had never seen Jin Changsen as powerful as he had, which really corresponded to Xiao Letian's words.

If a person does not force himself to the Jedi, then even he himself doesn’t know how terrifying he is!
