I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

In fact, Xiaoming and Mao Li have similar personalities. They both hate foreigners and are close to China.

As long as the Emperor Ming allowed him to retain the title of emperor, even if it was only the son emperor, nephew emperor, and grandson emperor like the Song people, Xiaoming would recognize it.

However, things changed when France, a longtime shogunate ally, intervened directly.

Xiaoming, just like in history, died in the middle of his prime, but died indistinctly.

His son, Meiji, who was only 14 years old, succeeded him.

Meiji's first edict after he succeeded to the throne was the "Five Imperial Oaths":

[-]. Raise troops to fight against rebellion, and protect the foundation of the ancestors for thousands of generations.

Two, unite as one, flourish economics.

[-]. The public and the military are integrated, and even the common people can follow their own aspirations, so as not to make people feel tired.

[-]. Get rid of the old bad habits and follow the justice of heaven and earth.

[-]. Seek knowledge in the world and revitalize the foundation of the imperial kingdom.

For more than ten years, only the sound of thunder, but no rain, the combination of the public and the military was actually achieved under the internal and external pressure of the Maori and the French, with the concession of the public.

Last year, the Changzhou Domain launched the hunt for the "Amakusa Saints", and the recent surge in the assassination of foreigners by non-governmental organizations such as the Red Dragon Society has made France, a traditional ally of the shogunate, not as slow in responding to the defeat of the shogunate as in history , but was directly invited to send troops.

Of course, this is only the official statement of the French Second Empire.

In fact, what really motivated them to actively send troops was the "21 Articles of Law and Japan" signed by the shogunate after the defeat in the first battle of the chief.

This allowed the French to see the possibility of seeking a complete new colony in the East.

At this time, Japan was a more thorough semi-feudal and semi-colonial country than the Qing Dynasty.

The French occupy most of the interests of Japan, including the shogunate, while the British only have the interests of a few areas such as Satsuma.

This was not given up by the British with good intentions, but was shot down by the two flagships of the French Oriental Fleet, the "Semiramis" and the "Tancred" during the Shimonoseki War two years ago.

The British have India in the East, Burma, Borneo, Malacca, Hong Kong...

In France, there are only states like Kindernagar in Bangladesh, Pondicherry in India, and Cambodia, which has no sense of existence.

Therefore, the French are very interested in Japan, and there is reason to believe that the gloriously isolated British will not talk about Japan and themselves.

At best, leave Kyushu Island to the UK, it's not a big deal.

Of course, apart from the Eastern Fleet, which is still dominated by old wooden sail battleships 25 years ago, the French can really invest in very limited troops in Japan.

Because at this time, Napoleon III, Emperor of the Second French Empire, was planning a big event.

That is to prepare to take advantage of the chaos in North America and cooperate with the British and Spaniards to invade and carve up Mexico.

Compared with Mexico, the country of gold, Japan is slightly more important.

Therefore, although the shogunate claims to have 12 military soldiers, in fact, the total number of French troops will not exceed 8000, and at least 3000 of them are third brothers and Cambodian mercenaries.

In addition, according to the "21 Articles of France and Japan", Faji has helped Zuopenji train more than 1 new troops.

The division head of this new French army is Hijikata Toshizo, deputy leader of the Shinsengumi (don't ask why the French chose this guy, historically, that's what the French planned).

But actual command rested with the French advisers.

These new troops were all equipped with French-style weapons, and their clothes were changed into blue clothes and red trousers. The French military uniforms worn on long johns were far stronger than the old-style troops.

The sudden emergence of these two military forces contained the overwhelming Changzhou Fan.

Due to the need to guard against the backstab of the evil neighbor Satsuma who has an unknown attitude, the Choshu domain sent only 2000 Ming-made new army surprise soldiers to the front line, and the rest were traditional ashigaru and samurai troops.

They suffered heavy losses from the raid with far more force than expected.

The captain of the Raiders, Shinsaku Takasugi risked his life to break through and was also seriously injured.

It was also this disastrous defeat in Hyogo that made people in the Changzhou domain float.

……

"My lords, the French have sharp weapons and are unstoppable by bravery. They should not be enemies!"

"Baga, how can there be such a reason in the world, we only lost one game, but we won two games before!"

"Our previous enemy was only the coalition forces of various vassals, but now we are facing foreigners! How can we generalize?"

"Yes, yes, while we still have a bargaining chip in our hands, it is the best policy to quickly win the victory and beg for surrender, restore the annexed land to the country, and exchange for forgiveness from Kyoto and Edo!"

"Hmph, you don't have to be like this!"

Under the pessimistic mood, a person suddenly stood up, "It's just foreigners, why don't you let me meet them!"

This man has a high nose and deep eyes, blond hair and blue eyes, with thick chest hair in the open samurai robe.

This is none other than McCann who was sold to Changzhou by Daming.

Because of his contribution to the crusade against the surrounding Xiaofan, McCann has become the captain of the 19th team in Changzhou, the White Slave Team.

Mao Li respected his relatives and was overjoyed, saying: "This is a strategy of using the foreign to control the foreign. The warriors of McCann go quickly, and I will warm the wine for you!"

Of course, McCann couldn't understand such advanced words. In fact, he learned some Chinese in the mine, but he still hasn't learned Japanese.

But he has an interpreter by his side.

"Haha, Your Excellency, General, I will be stationed at Xiaomu, and I will meet them well! Please wait for the good news!"

After all, Macken ordered all the troops in the headquarters, and more than 1200 white slaves who were sold by the Ming Dynasty one after another, put on their helmets and armor, and rode away to the north.

Maori Jingqin and other vassals watched these majestic foreigners disappear into the distance, stroked their beards and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, we also have people and foreigners!"

"Yes, yes, Captain McCann was brave and loyal when he was attacking the feudal clans!"

"Well, this time we finally don't have to rely on Da Ming, otherwise we will rely on Da Ming for everything, how can we have our status in the future?"

Vassals, you say a word, I say a word.

Maori Jingqin couldn't help stroking his beard and nodding again and again.

Although these white slaves and weapons were bought from Daming in exchange for women, the war was commanded by me!

These are the bargaining chips for Li Chenggui to become the second in the future!

After all, Maori Jingqin has been in the top position for a long time, and has already noticed all kinds of restrictions on him by Daming sensitively, and even secretly evaded him.

This made him not seek help from Daming immediately after he suffered a disastrous defeat.

Submissive to submissive, Mao Li wants to be a vassal, not an idle prince.

So this time he must cut through the mess quickly, achieve major results quickly, and even unify Japan.

Only in this way, is it possible to crack the soil and seal the king like the Lee Dynasty in the Hongwu period, and be happy and happy!

It's just that Maori Jingqin didn't know that Daming didn't have a plan B.

Whether it is Japan or North Korea, it has never been in the plan to retain the vassal state.

Maori Jingqin took out a pack of big back door cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and took a deep breath, the aroma of the flue-cured tobacco made him ecstatic.

Thinking of the Rising Sun car that was bought with his daughter, Maori Jingqin faintly felt that, in fact, it might be good to be a wild crane in retirement.

After all, Daming's stuff is Sparassi!

Just when he was shaking his head and feeling pretty good about himself, a servant suddenly hurried up to the tower.

"General, big things are bad, big things are bad!"

Holding a piece of paper in his hand, the waiter said out of breath, "The white slave McCann left an anti-poem, and went north to vote for the French!"

Chapter 283 Anti-poetry, Premiere

For something like a servant army, loyalty is of course limited.

Although Mao Li made some money doing business with Daming, the fleshy bones he could produce were far less fragrant than Daming's, and the big sticks he held in his hand were far less thick than Daming's.

Let's put it this way, not everyone can raise a dog.

If a little girl raises a big dog, there is a high probability that the car will overturn.

Therefore, the white slaves who were fairly honest under the guidance of Daming, after eating salted fish and radish rice in Changzhou for nearly a year, finally turned their backs.

"Good France, damn good.

The shogunate can recognize the father, and I will join the group.

Put wine on Mt. Fuji and sing Marseille songs.

The city is full of tricolor flags, and Mao Li is scared! "

Looking at the anti-poetry left by McCann, Maori Keiki's hands were trembling.

Half scared, half angry.

Great rebellion, great rebellion!

This damned white slave is nothing more than treason, but he dared to copy the poems of Lord Long Live!

Long live God's poem, you also copied it?

Maori Jing clearly remembered that this poem was clearly one of the royal poems in every issue of the "Da Ming Times", and it was the poem "Visiting the Presidential Palace" left by Long Live Lord to humiliate the Americans after punching Lincoln!

I didn't expect him to use it to humiliate himself!

This guy doesn't dare to insult Long Live, who is full of martial arts and wears Lin Bei's leg (through Lincoln's head), but only dares to insult me, a middle-aged man who has just recovered from a serious illness!

Brother Maori is suffering!

So far, the last bit of luck in his heart is gone:

"Order Kiyomizu Kiyotaro, Shidou Anfang, Naito Sado and others not to fight against the French army, to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and guard the two cities of Shimonoseki and Yamaguchi."

"Prepare me a car as soon as possible, and I will go to Xiaguan Daming Governor's Mansion to beg and cry in person, in order to survive!"

The above two orders were issued to the vassals.

But Kyoko Maori turned his head and called his loyal confidant Youemon: "Clan elder, quickly deposit all the silver, pounds, and francs stored in Hagi Castle, Yamaguchi and other places into the Xiaguan Branch of Daming Fugui Bank, and then prepare for the next Table wine and food, please tell us about it, Mr. Wu of Jin Yiwei..."

"If you can't do anything, please ask him to save the old man a boat ticket to go to Daming!"

……

Although Brother Mao Li is far away in the East, his every move has been recorded in detail by Jin Yiwei's eyeliner, and he was delivered to Zhu Fugui's imperial court with the returning fleet.

Zhu Fugui can also guess the mental journey of Maori respecting relatives.

After being the emperor for so long, he has somewhat increased his experience.

Besides, this kind of thing is not without a ready-made template in later generations.

Relying solely on assistance and the so-called "sincere and friendly" will most likely only raise white-eyed wolves.

The tuition fees we paid in Vietnam and North Korea were not small.

So Zhu Fugui pays special attention to the sincerity of Maori's younger brother.

Don't think that you can sit back and relax if you put Lan Lan's niece in Fengdu!

He didn't know that he was actually walking around the gate of hell.

Zhu Fugui originally planned to wait for Mao Li to hang himself on the tree with his neck crooked, and then raise troops to avenge him.

Fortunately, when the prodigal son turned around, he put the dog's collar on himself again.

Then Brother Maori is still Zhu Fugui's good brother.

As for the good brother, Zhu Fugui naturally still has to save, otherwise I will be sorry for my niece Lan Lan.

Therefore, as telegrams were sent from the Generalissimo's Mansion, the national machine that had been sleeping for half a year was roaring again.

But none of this affected July 7, the first movie in human history to be released as scheduled.

Daming now has a population of more than 80, and it is no longer a small country in America.

The land area is quite large, but because it involves a large area of ​​no-man's land and jagged military-occupied areas, it cannot be accurately counted.

But at least, there are cities and towns with more than 1 people in Daming, including: Xinfeng, Xinjin, Xinqin, Xinji, Xinhu, Xinhang, and Xinshan, a megacity outside Xinshan Customs, which was formed spontaneously due to the construction of the railway. .

This new city, from north to south, and from west to east, is connected by two main lines, the Qin-Feng-Sui Line and the Feng-Ao Line.

Whether it is from the perspective of earning cultural value or meeting the spiritual and cultural needs of the people in remote areas, the imperial court should provide them with movie playback equipment.
