464 Shimadzu's Decision

After all, Xiang Ying and the others are just a group of students. Although they can know some secrets due to their identity, they don’t know the most core secrets, so they just want to buy a batch of ammunition from Shimazu’s family, but in the end they didn’t get this requirement.

But Wang Huaiyuan and Sakamoto Ryuma were not the case. They didn't care about the little weapons and equipment in the Shimazu family's treasury, because they knew that Xiao Letian believed in the cunning rabbit's three holes, and the prime minister had countless secret tricks. The weapons and equipment hidden secretly in Japan were enough to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate.

Ryuma Sakamoto had a tense negotiation in the inner city for two days. All he wanted was the soldiers of the Shimazu family, who were the first group of soldiers in Japan to come into contact with Western tactics.

The battle situation is tense now, and Wang Huaiyuan cannot explain many details to the children. The political level of these students is still not profound enough. They do not understand the key points in the whole thing. Is it easy to borrow gunpowder or soldiers?

Many people think that borrowing materials is easier. After all, the Shimazu family dare not turn against the French. Secretly giving some arms to earn some money can be considered a good fate. If the Shimazu family samurai went to the battlefield in person, it would turn against the French completely, and this would be a full-scale war.

This principle seems to be the case on the surface, but in the eyes of politicians who really formulate national policies, this principle is nonsense.

First of all, if you choose to borrow some war materials for Ryukyu, there will be no direct conflict with the French on the surface, but the filth in your heart also appears, and a little gunpowder will not change much of the battle situation. The possibility of Ryukyu failure is still very high.

If you support a loser, then the Shimazu family will not only not get any return on investment in the future, but will also have conflicts with the French. What will Shimazu Tadashimazu and his son do such a foolish thing? Obviously, they will not.

Another type of investment is different. The Shimazu family directly participated in the Ryukyu war, not only giving supplies but also giving soldiers, but also allowing the Shimazu family's samurai and the new army to fight side by side. This is a real timely help.

If Ryukyu wins, Shimazu family will completely turn over, not only washing away the hatred between the two sides, but also being able to get on Xiao Letian's chariot and get his own cake in his grand strategy.

Since ancient times, national destiny has been a gambling. The Shimazu family is not afraid of failure. They are only afraid that the returns after betting are not high enough. Politicians are actually potential ambitious people, and their way of settlement is different from that of ordinary people who live.

This was the case for two days. At that time, Tadaoyi Shimazu's heart was alive, but the last kick was not kicked by Ryuma Sakamoto and Wang Huaiyuan. The whole negotiation was an end to four college students who didn't know anything.

Just after Kurigen Kayayama boarded the Wavebreaker, in the northern Kagoshima Inner Castle, Tadaoyi Shimazu and his father Shimazu Kuraki stood at the railings, allowing the night wind to rush to the face, and the sound of the waves in the distance came rhythmically.

Behind them, the paper screen that was destroyed by Xiang Ying and the others was still poked, and no one came to repair it. Shimazu and his son were thinking about it this day. After they secretly left Kazuya, they had never left Tianshou Pavilion.

"My father... do you think my decision is correct? Is it really correct to tie the Shimazu family to Xiao Lotte's chariot?" Shimazu Tadaoyi asked softly.

Shimazu Kukushima did not answer positively, "Child, you are the family governor now, so you should take on such a responsibility. You must think carefully about what kind of force is supporting you when you make this decision."

Tadaoyi, who was in his twenties, his eyes twitched unnaturally when he heard this, and he punched the wooden railing. "Yes, I can't forget my original intention. It's these college students who made me decide."

"What kind of magic does Xiao Letian have with him? He can actually educate such a vibrant young man. Yes, I felt a strong vitality from them. A group of officials and the playboys in the mouths of the Qing people dared to kidnap me in the main city of the Shimazu family."

"Hahahaha..." Tadaoyi Shimazu's laughter drifted far and far along the sea breeze.

"The children of nobles and officials dare to work so hard and can all sacrifice their lives. It is conceivable how popular the Ryukyu people have reached. It's terrible. It's really terrible. Even foreigners have never seen such vitality."

"The Shimazu family blesses the heroes of all generations, blesses our martial arts fortune for a long time. If you bet on this game, we can enter the top circle of East Asia and we will surely become the number one name in Japan..."

"If I fail, I am not afraid... I, Tadashimazu, are willing to go to Paris in person, I am willing to seduce the stomach in front of the French emperor, and I can use my blood to calm the anger of the French... By then, our Shimazu family will not die."

Crazy, this is the madness of the Japanese. For them, death is a return home, and a century of accumulation is just for the instantaneous burst of release.

"Come here." The head of Shimazu family with a crazy look shouted, and then a ninja rushed down from the beam of the house. "Release all ninjas, monitor all Westerners and suspicious characters, create all kinds of chaos to interfere with the sight of the foreigners, and fight for fights for our brave warriors."

"Hayi." The warrior turned over and jumped off the cliff like a swallow, and disappeared behind the rocks in a short while.

That night, water suddenly came from the civilian area next to Kagoshima Commercial District, thick smoke and fires soared into the sky. Countless people were frightened and ran around, and the people who put out the fire and soldiers were in chaos.

The foreigners living in the commercial area are not gods who are inseparable from water and fire. When they see the fire, they are frightened and flee to the sea with their furry thighs. As long as they escape to the merchant ship, they will be safe.

But unexpectedly, it was not peaceful in the harbor. It was not only foreign merchant ships that fled, but also Japanese merchants wanted to escape. The dark merchant ships of all sizes and fishing boats were rushing back and forth, and in a short while, several foreign cargo ships were scratched.

"Bastard, are you blind? Why do we shoot when we hit our boat and don't give way..."

No one paid attention to the foreigner's shouts, and the flames in the slums were almost burning. The lives of you foreigners are your lives, and the money of you foreigners is your money, I bah.

The traffic was suddenly blocked on the harbor, and the ships were ramming and chaotic.

The Japanese people have rich experience in dealing with fires. Even if the fire catches in the middle of the night, even if it is a wooden house, many people will not die in the fire. The soldiers and the people quickly demolish the houses and put them out in a circle of isolation. As for the houses inside, let him burn them.

The fire was under control. Just as people were calming down and preparing to return to their homes, an accident occurred. More than a dozen Shimazu family ships rushed out of the thorns and started yelling at the people on the sea.

"No one is allowed to leave the port. The treasury in the inner city was stolen, five thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver disappeared... all the ships were inspected."

After all, the Shimazu family is the owner of the Satsuma family. Even if the foreigners are domineering, they should give them certain politeness. It is natural to cooperate with the government's investigation, and even if they go to Europe, they can make sense.

Countless foreigners lamented bad luck, but they had to cooperate, but they didn't know that this was just the beginning of a series of chaos.

The open flames in the fire did not completely disappear for a whole night, and the lost gold and silver were not found. The entire Kagoshima order was in chaos. Under the tough attitude of the Shimazu family, no foreign merchant ship left the port for two days.

By the third day, even more terrifying news came. Those homeless refugees living in the woods outside the city actually broke out. The terrifying news scared all foreigners to go crazy.

"Run, Kagoshima can't stay anymore." The foreigners packed up their fine lines and were about to run away, but at this time they wanted to leave, but they could never leave anymore. A large group of Japanese doctors and soldiers blocked them all at home.

"My dear foreigners, you may have been infected with the plague now and cannot leave during this period. Our head said, "I will give you food and drink. When will the plague be overcome before you can leave..."

What a great slogan to cure diseases and save people. This reason is so open that all foreigners cannot object. It is precisely the careful planning of the Shimazu family that caused the entire foreign intelligence network to fall into chaos. Molière, who was fighting in Ryukyu, did not get any information from Kagoshima in the end.

The Shimazu family fought for their lives to get on Xiao Letian's warship.

Amami Oshima is a rich island between the main island of Ryukyu and Kyushu. The black sugar produced here has always been a treasure in Japan. There are countless sugarcane fields and sugar-pressing workshops distributed on this large island. The wood quality in the mountains is also very high, and the Shimazu family makes a lot of money from this large island.

The secret warehouse of the Reformist Party is located in the sugar-pulling workshop in the deep mountains. Bypassing the workshop that turns around the Quli, you can enter the hidden cave. When the light of the lantern illuminates the cave, Xiang Ying and others are all stunned.

"So many supplies, many foreign guns, many grenades, and gunpowder... There are even canned meat from Western products here. How did the Prime Minister manage it?"

Wang Huaiyuan smiled with a horse lantern and said, "The Prime Minister has only taken more than two years to rise in East Asia, and can even go to Europe to get involved in the mainland war. There is no big picture to do it. Even I don't know how many of these secret warehouses are. Ryuma Sakamoto knows only a part of them."

At this time, Huashan Liyuan also walked in with an envious expression, "What a big deal, how much does it cost to do it. The Qing Dynasty is indeed rich, too rich..."

"Barring, what does the Qing Dynasty mean to be rich? Is it good to be rich in China? The Qing Dynasty was just a group of vampires. Our prime minister just saved a small part of their waste money to do our major business."

"When the Prime Minister can truly dominate China, you can see that at that time, you will be able to see the real big moves and big situations. The blueprint that the Prime Minister has drawn to us in the small classroom is something you would never dream of."

Huashan Liyuan let the children snatch the white spots, but they were not angry, but their expressions were a little awkward. Then he asked, "We have weapons and ammunition, and we have soldiers, so how should we fight? Please come up with a plan."

What everyone was asking about was about to discuss. Ryuma Sakamoto took out a roll of map from his arms and came out. "There are already several sets of plans. How to fight in the end, I still have to focus on my ideas. Come on, you can see..."

In the dim horse light, a group of heads were pressed together, and they began to deduce the battle situation one by one.
