Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The reconstruction of the Tokugawa shogunate greatly stimulated the Meiji period in Kyoto.

It is said that the day after the Tokugawa shogunate announced the reconstruction, Meiji's bedroom was also renovated.

However, Lin Yi didn't know what Ming Zhi was thinking, nor did he want to know.

Because, on the fifth day of the reconstruction of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Hans Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Roman Empire in Europe successively recognized the Tokugawa shogunate and expressed their willingness to send diplomatic consuls.

The reason why the Western powers recognized the Tokugawa shogunate, who clearly seemed to be Daxia's puppet, was because Daxia signed a contract with the Hans Empire. became a military alliance.

Immediately, Tokugawa Yingxi said in Nagasaki that Baiyu Tianhuang was very happy to be recognized by various countries and was willing to open the Fuso market.

However, regarding tariffs, countries need to negotiate with Daxia. The reason is that the Tokugawa shogunate was new and did not yet have a department specifically responsible for diplomacy.

Moreover, the first priority of the Tokugawa shogunate in a short period of time is to drive away the puppet Tenhuang Meiji, so in a short period of time, various departments other than the military department will not be established.

As for the relevant rights, the Tokugawa shogunate stated that they could all be handed over to Daxia.

At the same time, in order to express gratitude to Daxia for supporting Baiyu Tianhuang and helping the Tokugawa shogunate rebuild, the Tokugawa shogunate announced that it would abandon its claims to Okinawa, Goryeo, and Yizhou.

What is this called? This is called Zaibei Tian not feeling distressed.

Not to mention Goryeo and Yizhou, these two places are within the range of Daxia's strength.

At this time, the last defenders of Goryeo, with no hope of breaking through and no support, had surrendered to the Tokugawa Shogunate.

This also included the Fourth and Eighth Divisions who were beaten to death by the Third and Fourth Divisions at the foot of Shen City.

You know, these two divisions are Meiji's Class A divisions, the elite among the elite.

The surrender of these two divisions directly made Meiji angry and vomited blood.

The bedroom had just been renovated. I heard that it was redecorated again the next day because Meiji was not satisfied with the decoration style.

However, the happiest people are the civilians on Okinawa.

As early as March 1879, 3, Naha, the largest city in the Okinawa Islands, was captured by the Sakura Kingdom, and the Okinawa Islands, or rather the Ryukyu Islands, were officially incorporated into the Sakura Kingdom.

After the last King of the Ryukyus, Shōtai, was moved to Kyoto, Ryukyu was renamed Okinawa.

However, it has only been about twenty years since the Ryukyu Kingdom, and there are still many civilians in the Ryukyu Islands who are unwilling to call themselves Okinawans. I still stubbornly call myself a Ryukyu native.

When the Tokugawa shogunate was established and announced that it would give up its claim to Okinawa and restore the old Ryukyu country name, the entire Ryukyu Islands was boiling.

Excited crowds broke out in demonstrations on the Ryukyu Islands, which then turned into armed demonstrations, and finally turned directly into riots.

The Sakura Kingdom soldiers stationed in Ryukyu did not dare to stop him. (Just kidding, most of the soldiers stationed in Ryukyu are Ryukyus. And they have weapons in their hands.)

(Let them go out to suppress the riots. Maybe the people who will be suppressed in the end will be these officials from the Sakura Country.)

Anyway, without the restraint of the military, those excited Ryukyu people continued to attack the government departments of Sakura Country, and their momentum became more and more powerful.

At this time, both Lin Yi and Meiji who were far away in Kyoto knew that Ryukyu was lost.

Although Meiji still refused to admit this, he also had no way to stop it.

He wanted to send troops to Ryukyu to suppress it, but he did not need to escort the warships. If he went to sea, he would be sunk by Daxia.

I want to order the Ryukyu army to suppress it. Sorry, 80% of the soldiers stationed in Ryukyu are Ryukyu people. It is not certain who will suppress whom.

Therefore, I knew I could only watch as Sakura Kingdom lost Yizhou to Goryeo, lost Goryeo to Kyushu, lost Kyushu and lost Ryukyu, and finally had nothing to lose.

The opposite of Meiji is Lin Yi.

When he heard that Ryukyu's local civilians alone had occupied Ryukyu, he was immediately unambiguous and directly sent divisions of Beijing troops to Ryukyu to maintain the basic order in Ryukyu.

As soon as Daxia's team set foot on the land of Ryukyu, the civilians of Ryukyu welcomed the team.

When I heard that this army was a majestic Beijing camp for the Emperor of Great Xia, this enthusiasm went to a higher level.

Did you see that the Celestial Kingdom is still very fond of our Ryukyus? The emperor of Daxia actually sent out all his own troops to help us restore our country.

He is indeed a "good dad"!

Afterwards, these crazy Ryukyu people surrounded the Beijing camp division and headed towards the Sakura Kingdom's military camp.

The commander of the Jingying Division who was originally sent to accept Ryukyu felt that he would face a bloody battle after arriving in Ryukyu.

But he didn't expect to be greeted by Ryukyu people.

Now that he heard that he was going to attack the Sakura Kingdom's military camp, the division commander also became energetic. He decided that when he fought for a while, he must fight more resolutely to let these lovely Ryukyu people know the strength of the empire.

But as a result, as soon as his Beijing division arrived outside the military camp, Ryukyu people immediately shouted several times into the military camp.

Although the teacher couldn't quite understand the Ryukyu dialect, as a national costume derived from Chinese culture, the teacher could still understand a few key words.

One is to surrender to the Heavenly Kingdom, and the other is to surrender.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the Sakura Kingdom military camp was opened, and a group of soldiers wearing Sakura Kingdom military uniforms escorted a group of people with their shirts off and walked out.

Then these soldiers hit the group of shirtless people on the legs with a rifle butt, causing them to kneel down on the spot.

Then, these people wearing the uniforms of Sakura Kingdom soldiers talked a lot to him, and the division commander said that this was beyond his cultural level.

Just when neither party could understand what the other party was saying, and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, an old man wearing Ryukyu costumes walked out of the crowd and took the initiative to translate for the teacher.

Only then did the teacher understand what was going on.

To put it simply, the soldiers from Ryukyu had long known about the independence of Ryukyu and had guessed that Daxia would send someone to take over.

So these Ryukyu soldiers wanted to capture the Sakura Kingdom's military camp for Daxia.

Wait until this division commander lands in Naha. These Ryukyu soldiers took action decisively and directly controlled the officers of Sakura Kingdom.

Just waiting for the division commander and the others to take over Ryukyu, I also want to give the division commander a prisoner gift.

And as a gift, they are the captives of these little cherry blossoms.

The teacher commander looked confused. What he thought was a bloody battle turned into a party for the Ryukyu people to welcome them.

In this way, Ryukyu, which had left Daxia for [-] years, returned to the embrace of the empire.

At the same time, in a splendid palace in St. Petersburg, a handsome young man was furious in his own palace.

This man was Nicholas II.
