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

He generously stated that as a latecomer country, Japan cannot become strong without the support of the big brother of the United States.

Japan has made up its mind to leave Asia and enter the United States, and has hired American experts to come to Japan to provide comprehensive guidance on military, financial and other reforms.

In order to maintain peace and stability in East Asia and the Pacific region, and to secure high-interest loans from the U.S. government, the shogunate government promised to do the following 21 items:

1. The land and islands along the coast of the Kanto and Seto Inland Sea, no matter what the title, shall not be transferred or leased to other countries, but may only be leased to the United States of America.

2. The railroad from Nagoya to Edo line constructed by the United States of America.

3. The Japanese government allowed the mining rights of the mines north of Fukuyama and Ezo Island to the subjects of the United States of America.

4. If the Japanese government hires political, financial, and military advisers, it must first discuss with the United States of America.

5. The subjects of the United States of America may obtain the lease and ownership of the land they need to build commercial industrial application houses or farms in Japan.

6. All hospitals, monasteries, schools, etc. of the United States of America established in Japan shall be entitled to their land ownership.

……

These 21 articles were naturally excerpted by Zhu Fugui from the 21 articles signed by the Beiyang government.

To be honest, Zhu Fugui really has little experience in betraying the country, so he had to learn from old Comrade Yuan again.

Little Japan's conscience was really broken. Zhu Fugui randomly copied some not-so-excessive ones, which made General Lincoln laugh from ear to ear.

The weakness of the shogunate exceeded Lincoln's expectations, but if you think about it carefully, the Japanese may have regarded the French 36-gun giant ship as American.

These East Asians are so ridiculous that they don't understand the international situation at all.

Didn't the Chinese invite Russia to "mediate" Britain and France before, and gave away more than 150 million square kilometers of land for nothing?

Compared with the Qing emperors, what the shoguns did was really not out of line.

The achievement of such a huge military and diplomatic victory is enough to raise the American people's evaluation of the current government's martial arts to a higher level.

Lincoln finished reading the letter of credence complacently, and felt fortunate that the French did not land, but only fired from a distance, so the Japanese recognized their father wrongly.

And I wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Although the orientals all look alike, I will never mistake them.

Since the little brother "Tokugawa" gave face so much, Lincoln also treated the Japanese envoy with courtesy.

Not only did Lincoln agree to the shogunate's request for a loan, after all, this kind of high-interest loan mortgaged by national sovereignty and resources would really benefit the Americans.

At the same time, Lincoln also invited representatives of the apology group to speak on stage.

Although Wang Zhonghuang was the head of the group, he considered that he was Chinese after all, and he was worried that if someone really could speak Japanese, he would be put in the wrong place.

So in the end, it was Corporal Morishita who found out on stage.

And in the photo Zhu Fugui saw, Corporal Morishita was glaring and speaking energetically.

It's just the transliteration text below the picture...

"America, all Kurus, absolutely muddy!"

And the English translation reads: "The Murray is solid and we love it forever!"

……

Zhu Fugui did not expect that this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually a hermaphrodite.

To say that he was too courageous, if someone really knew Japanese, wouldn't he die suddenly on the spot?

He himself was poked into more than a dozen holes by the Yankees, and his head was made into a wine glass, and the skin on his buttocks was made into boots, which is nothing. The elite navy of the Ming Dynasty and my two large warships will be finished!

This impulsive young samurai is indeed a headache.

No wonder the Japanese government is always coerced by them to gamble on the country's fortunes.

Fortunately, judging from the results of both the photos and the text being published in the newspaper, it is true that no one in the United States of this era understands Japanese.

At least in the United States such people are very rare.

In fact, Zhu Fugui estimated that even if Morishita scolded Lincoln's eighth-generation ancestor in English, Americans might not understand it.

After all, Japanese English is too difficult to describe.

It is said that at the Paris Peace Conference after World War I, Chinese diplomat Gu Weijun won applause for his standard fluent English.

Next came Japanese diplomat Nobuaki Makino.

The second son of Okubo Toshimichi whimpered at the meeting in Japanese English and was about to leave, but was stopped by the host and asked him to speak again in English.

This drove the Japanese earl into a rage and shouted, "I speak English, not Japanese!"

Such historical allusions always make Chinese people laugh and cry.

Because the final competition in diplomacy is not about the standard of English, but the strength of the country behind the diplomats.

Coming here with ten aircraft carriers, even in Mauritanian, they can still sign a favorable contract.

Otherwise, it can only be a vase like Gu Weijun.

Sighing, Zhu Fugui glanced at the date on the news, it was already 20 days ago.

In other words, as long as Morishita and the others are not cool, they should have learned how to drive a warship at the New York Naval Shipyard by now.

Hope Donald can connect with them soon.

After all, it is very difficult for 50 students to come back with two warships and ten transport ships, and they must be prepared early.

Just when Zhu Fugui put down the newspaper and was about to enjoy the poached eggs on toast made by Lao Li, suddenly a piece of inconspicuous international news entered Zhu Fugui's field of vision.

[Chinese anti-government general Shi was captured in Chengdu. After a private trial, Shi was tortured and executed by Ling Chi in Chengdu. 】

[It is reported that a large number of rebels were arrested together with Shi, including his five-year-old son. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, he may be able to avoid the death penalty. 】

Chapter 141 Entering the shrine and buying someone

Shi Dakai was defeated by the Dadu River, and was executed by the Qing Dynasty. This is a belated bad news.

Holding the newspaper, Zhu Fugui remained silent for a long time, and the delicious breakfast made by Lao Li lost his appetite.

Among the countless princes in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the one Zhu Fugui admired the most was actually Yang Xiuqing.

Although this guy is not a good guy, but in the last 5000 years, not counting a barbarian like Shi Le, except for Zhu Ba Patriarch, he has the worst opening cards.

At any rate, Zhu Ba Patriarch still has an unreliable father-in-law.

Yang Xiuqing really opened her mouth at the beginning, and then relied on fooling around.

And he is not only good at fooling, but also has a very strong ability to learn wars in wars.

His overall view and commanding ability have changed from being nonsensical at the beginning to being able to do a job with ease later on. It can be said that he can see visible progress every year.

In contrast, Hong Xiuquan is really a full-fledged wine bag and rice bag.

Even Zhu Fugui thought that if the Hongtian King died early, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom might not be able to turn the world around under Yang Xiuqing's operation.

Of course, this is just Zhu Fugui's personal preference. When it comes to most history readers, Shi Dakai is most admired.

After all, his life experience is more or less the same as that of the Overlord of Western Chu, with a somewhat lonely and tragic color.

Zhu Fugui naturally knew the timing of Shi Dakai's death.

As early as June this year, Shi Dakai was killed by Chongshi Lingchi in Chengdu. The news of the British had changed hands several times, which seemed too late.

For the ending of this hero, Zhu Fugui couldn't help feeling sad.

It's a pity that Fengdu is far away from Chengdu, so there is nothing we can do to help.

What's more, in June, Zhu Fugui himself was living in a thousand difficulties.

However, a detail mentioned in the British newspaper caught Zhu Fugui's attention.

That is, it is said that Shi Dakai's youngest son was not killed by the Manchu government.

This made Zhu Fugui a little puzzled, after all, the Qing court's consistent actions had nothing to do with benevolence.

After carefully reviewing the information, Zhu Fugui finally understood what was going on.

According to Luo Bingzhang's "Capturing Ni's First Wing King Shi Dakai and Others Alive and Exterminating Fani's Giant Stock Gong Zhe": "Shi Dakai was executed by capital punishment. The false prime ministers Zeng Shihe, Huang Zaizhong, and Wei Pucheng were alleged to have been thieves for many years They were also sent to Shicao for false posts, and Ling Chi was executed. His son Shi Dingzhong is five years old now, so he should be imprisoned as usual, and he will be handled as usual when he is old."

Luo Bingzhang, Zeng, Zuo, Li, Zhang and others are the eight famous ministers of "Tongzhi Zhongxing", and they are also the main persons in charge of the division that encircled and suppressed Shi Dakai, so his words should be considered reliable.

Shi Dakai's youngest son, Shi Dingzhong, is probably still alive.

However, as Zhu Fugui further checked the information, he realized that the light sentence of "the rule should be imprisoned, and it will be handled as usual when the age comes" is not an act of kindness, but a great horror hidden inside.

According to folk rumors, the reason why the Qing court did not kill Shi Dingzhong at the age of 5 was because his son was too young, and there was really nowhere to spend Ling Chi's 3000 knives.

After the Qing court waited for Shi Dingzhong to grow physically, he tortured him to death with Lingchi torture.

In other words, leaving Shi Dingzhong to die is not kind, but for Ling Chi.

However, this statement is only a folk rumor and is not credible.

According to the textual research of later generations, Shi Dingzhong's real end may be that "he should be imprisoned as a rule, and he will be dealt with as a rule when he is old."

Volume 23 of "Great Compilation of Laws and Regulations of the Great Qing Dynasty" "Criminal Law·Thieves and Thieves": "The internal law of the anti-rebellion case should ask the criminal who intends to Ling Chi, and his descendants will find out that he did not know about the treason. castrated by the government, sent to Xinjiang and other places, and given to officers and soldiers as slaves. Those who are under ten years old will be firmly imprisoned, and will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for processing when they reach the age of 11. If the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs decides to eunuch a criminal, That is to say, the secretary will be sent to inspect it carefully, and issue a conclusion that there is no harm, and send it to the Ministry of Punishment for further inspection. If there is any harm, it will be played and participated in. It must be checked clearly, and then sent to the Ministry of War to be sent to Xinjiang as slaves for officers and soldiers."

That is to say, Shi Dingzhong will be imprisoned until he is 11 years old, then sent to the Beijing Ministry of Internal Affairs for castration, and then sent to Xinjiang and other places to be sent as slaves to armored men.

Whether it is to be tortured after growing up, or to be castrated at the age of 11 and sent to a man in armor as a slave, these two options are much more cruel than direct execution.

Zhu Fugui accepted cannonball and dogjue at most, but Ling Chi still surpassed the bottom line of his future soul.

Of course, war is so cruel, and there is only an endless abyss waiting for the losers.

Even in the era of so-called civilization and enlightenment in later generations, the gangsters such as the Mi Army and the Australian Army are still practicing the traditional craftsmanship of their ancestors in the dark side of the world.

……

When he returned to Fengdu, Zhu Fugui called Qi Wenchang, Zhang Changgui, and Yang Liu, three generals from the Taiping Army, into the meeting room.

After a few brief conversations, Zhu Fugui took out the newspaper and said what was on it.

"I'll go out first, you can do whatever you want."

Zhu Fugui walked out of the house, before he could close the door, there was the sound of Yang Liu crying.

Zhu Fugui asked Lao Li to bring a can of Coke.

The bubbles of cola spread out on the tip of the tongue, but it does not have the sweetness of the past.

Zhu Fugui frowned and looked at the jar in his hand.

Was it sugary Coke?

Why is it more bitter than Diet?

Zhu Fugui couldn't help shaking his head.

In fact, speaking of it, Zhu Fugui basically had nothing to do with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and even from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Fugui didn't like this group of talkative guys.

Wanting to establish a religious state in China is itself turning back the clock on history.

But man is an empathetic animal after all.

Especially for a hero like Shi Dakai, it's hard not to feel sympathy for him.

Zhu Fugui finished his coke, and the crying in the room gradually stopped.

Zhu Fugui opened the door and walked in.

The three stood up.

His eyes were all red, and Yang Liu had a runny nose, and he didn't even know it.

Qi Wenchang gritted his teeth, and said: "Long Live Lord, I have a merciless request, I hope to be in Zhonglie..."

"I understand, I have already sent someone to do it."

Zhu Fugui naturally knew what Qi Wenchang wanted to say.

After the two wars, Zhu Fugui proposed the idea of building the Hall of Martyrs, which was unanimously agreed by the courtiers.

This trick was also learned by Zhu Fugui while reading novels.
