"Well, I'm back!" The emperor Li Mengyang, who had just entered the White House, shouted there. If you have read this chapter, please move to: Chinese. Read the latest chapter

"Oh! I know you're back! Come quickly!"

"Yes! Come on!"

"Clint, the teapot is out of water, go and boil some!"

"..." When Li Mengyang heard these voices, he was speechless. Forget it, let's go and boil the water, and then...

"Well, melon seeds, oranges, etc." Li Mengyang really wanted to slap himself at this time, and he really said it was smooth.

"Take it!"

"By the way, there is also a bottle of milk, Xixi may be hungry!"

Li Mengyang's expression is conceivable.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have to burn the water with his own hands, but he can carry a kettle.

"Three!"

"Two cakes!"

A table of mahjong! It’s really a table of mahjong!

When Li Mengyang came over with a kettle, melon seeds, oranges, milk bottles, etc., he saw his four wives, who were "fighting to the end" there!

This scene is really...

"Clint! Why are you standing there? You're just here to teach me!" After all, Eleanor didn't learn mahjong for a long time.

"Hey! I'm here!" Li Mengyang passed by immediately. Although we are the emperor, playing mahjong is also a big deal. "By the way, the Southern Fang agreed to merge, and my father-in-law..."

"Oh, I understand! Let's put this matter first, look at my card, how can I match it?" Eleanor was really fascinated now.

"It's hard, it's not reliable..." Li Mengyang knew that Eleanor had caught a bad card with a look, hey~

"Clint! You can't be more favorable than the other, Fiona plays a lot! He has set off several cannons!" Elena touched the card.

"Yes! Brother Mengyang, you can't forget the old one if you have a new person!" Huang Rong even played cards while pointing out Li Mengyang!

"..." Li Mengyang felt this feeling...

Let’s put it this way, Li Mengyang is definitely a sense of accomplishment to make a table of mahjong, but he really never dreamed of the scene in front of him!

An emperor just received a 99% approval rating. After finishing the official business, he rode a 28-year-old kick home, and then had to serve the bureau. This scene is simply so beautiful. Li Mengyang has never planned it before, and who would believe it if he tells it?

If you have a car, you don’t have a mount and kick it? What do you think of those little girls who want to sit in BMW crying?

Alas, who told us to make a car first and then make a bicycle...

But, this finally passed. It was Eleanor's affairs, and his concubines were still very open-minded.

It’s really impossible to talk about Eleanor. The three of them came with their children. Li Mengyang really said it carefully at the beginning, but unexpectedly, it’s really OK. Girl Huang Rong really has a bit of a big lady’s demeanor.

Really, after talking about this, Li Mengyang realized that the one who was most confused about this family was him. Without anyone else, Huang Rong thought this was good. As an emperor, you should have three thousand harems. And the other two, as you, you, Clint. Li didn't say it, but now, isn't your Chinese emperor like this?

So, in order to repay the concubines, Li Mengyang really tried his best...

Anyway, that's right. Li Mengyang lost several pounds in those days, and it was obvious that he had paid a lot of money!

But it finally passed, and a relatively glorious wedding was held. It was a celebration for everyone at that time.

I originally married another wife, so outsiders must be very happy. Li Mengyang also thinks so, who wouldn't think so?

However, today, Li Mengyang is back every day. After finishing his official duties, he is indispensable...

Mahjong is also considered Chinese culture, we must inherit and develop it!

"A few wives, are you tired of fighting? Are we going tonight?"

"You! How come you look like an emperor!"

"That's it..."

Li Mengyang's happy little days are still long...

The South has surrendered, and the American Empire’s plan to completely pacify the United States is not far away. Andrew Johnson of Illinois is now one of the top two. It can be said that the situation on Li Mengyang’s side is really good.

But at this moment, something happened again in the Far East!

"Your Majesty! Japan has sent troops to Taiwan!"

"What?"

After Lin Xiaoti got this information, he rushed over overnight. He was not afraid of encountering anything... There was no way, such a big thing really made people not care about so many things. Lin Xiaoti and Li Mengyang are both Chinese.

"Japan is going to fight Taiwan? Isn't Taiwan under the influence of the French? Why did this change suddenly happen?" Li Mengyang was a little disheveled at this time...

Lin Xiaoti completely pretended not to see it, and only heard him say, "It's really surprising, and something big happened in Japan before. I heard that the previously very powerful Prime Minister Jiro Naito was assassinated!"

"Assassination?" When Li Mengyang heard these two words, why are assassination so popular these days?

"Check it out! Check it out carefully what's going on?"

"Yes! I will definitely give my all!"

Li Mengyang has to go to check, so he probably has to wait for a while, because the message transmission speed is too slow, but what is going on? Why did Japan dare to fight with the French?

Let’s start with the Boxer Rebellion and the Eight-Nation Alliance!

"Your Majesty the Emperor! My Great Japanese Empire must not join this coalition! Because this will drag our Great Japanese Empire into the quagmire!"

When Japan was considering whether to join the coalition, Prime Minister Jiro Naito insisted not to join!

Why not join the coalition? Can you make a fortune?

Jiro Naito has his own reason. Simply put, it is to make full use of Japan's advantages.

What are Japan's advantages?

If you really look at this island country, it seems that she has no advantage. She has no products. The only thing that is more gold is a little more, but not too rich, let alone the land. This island country has many mountains, but not. Be careful, Japan is an island country!

Island countries, their advantages are naturally in the sea. They must vigorously develop maritime trade. This is Japan's biggest advantage, both natural and current opportunities.

You know, what era is this?

Since the 16th century, the world is now an era of great sailing!

Although the entire earth seems to have been discovered by humans today, the ocean is extremely vast and can accommodate all countries in the world to do business. In this island country, Japan, it is not okay if you don’t do business, your products are not enough.

So, Japan relies on the development of the ocean, seizes the opportunity of the Age of Discovery, and then becomes a maritime power. This is a very correct route.

Of course, the Japanese are not strong in strategic thinking, and Jiro Naito is not a particularly powerful strategic expert, but he can see examples.

It's England!

Yes, there is a very, very vivid example in front of you. The British are launched by the ocean, and they are also an island country, and their products are not very rich!

To put it bluntly, the basis of all Jiro Naito’s views is to copy the development path of Britain. This is also easy to understand.

It should be said that although the copycats are indeed a bit bad and look down upon. But if Japan really goes to copy the British at this time, you can say that they can really become stronger quickly, and maybe they can really replicate the success of the UK.

Maybe they can't be as awesome as the British in the whole world, but in Asia, they can dominate!

At this time, the dragons in Asia and the East dozed off, and their customs were all in the hands of foreigners. So Japan seized the opportunity and built itself into a maritime power, which is quite good.

And if they joined the coalition forces, then they achieved results from land, what would happen?

Japan will definitely adjust its development strategy, and they will think about developing on the land!

Is this direction good?

Of course not good!

Developing on land, what if there is no one on land? The colonies in the world are almost divided up. The Japanese will find colonies again. Where can they find them? Can they go to Antarctica?

Then there is only one goal, the Qing Dynasty!

Now, Japan's population is only 50 million. In terms of national strength, although Japan is ahead of the Qing Dynasty in the steel industry and many industries, the Qing Dynasty is rich and powerful!

To put it bluntly, the reason why Jiro Naito decided to join the coalition was to not set his goal as the Qing Dynasty, because in his eyes, the current Japanese Empire could not defeat the Qing Dynasty!

But if you want to say it... there are other reasons.

The reason why Jiro Naito was able to get up before and sit in the position of prime minister was related to the two vassals he had contacted before, namely the Satsuma vassal and the Chateau vassal he first came into contact with!

These two vassals were in alliance before, because they had a common enemy at the time, the shogunate, but the Tokugawa shogunate has been killed now, so is this alliance still necessary?

The people of the Satsuma clan were living on the sea for generations, while the Cheung Chau clan was born in farming. They were different. They were talking to each other.

So, there was a conflict between the two parties, and this conflict... To be honest, Jiro Naito was a little confused about why these two vassals had to fight, why bother? If you are in a quarrel, go to a quarrel, and if you are in a quarrel, go to a quarrel, who can get in the quarrel?

But they fought, constantly fighting.

And this time, Satsuma gave Naito some benefits... This is normal, Naito feels that he is very honest.

So, there were no Japanese in the Eight-Nation Alliance, but what happened next?

The Qing government paid a lot of compensation!

Look at you idiot, the decision you made failed to get compensation!

Naito! You are simply a stupid pig!

...All the dirty words are poured on Naito anyway!

Naito was also quite sad, so he didn't expect that the Qing government could promise to pay so much money. Really, if he knew that the Qing government could pay so much money, he would not refuse!

But now, it's too late, so there's another thing now, that is, since we haven't eaten this piece of meat, can we eat some bones?

According to information, the French are not going to do it. Although they joined the coalition forces before and received a lot of compensation, the compensation was not so easy to be fulfilled immediately. Moreover, during the French-Prussian War, the French lost too badly. Therefore, the treasure island occupied by the French is very good. Should we take it over in the Japanese Empire?

So, what will happen to Prime Minister Naito?
