Chapter 231: Chaos in the East
Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said: "I heard Dapu Qing say that she raised a private army, what is it called the 'Qingshi Team', according to you, this 'Qingshi Team' doesn't work?" β
The auxiliary political king was so calm, and directly took Da Puqing out, which was quite unexpected by Xu Silin, and he hurriedly said: "Naturally, it works!" In terms of combat power alone, the 'Qingshi Team' is actually still above the 'Wonder Soldier Team' of the Chang Domain, and compared to the Satsuma Domain Army, it is not much better! Those soldiers of the shogunate can't be compared at all! β
Xu Silin knew the reason why the "Qingshi Team" was so good and that it was so detailed-first, the instructors who trained the "Qingshi Team" were sent by the "Special Synthetic Battalion" of the Xuan Army stationed in Japan; Second, all the breech-loading foreign guns of Yishui that the "Qingshi team" was equipped with were pulled from the arsenal of the Tianjin Xuan Army.

It's time to boast, and then it's time to turn around, "It's just, uh......"
"What's there, say what."
"Yes! It's just that the number of 'Qing Shi Team' is limited, but the business of 'Qing Kee Co., Ltd.' is both east and west, north and south...... It's a matter of losing sight of one or the other. β
Guan Zhuofan shook his head slightly, "If the chaos is big, even 'taking care of one and losing the other' can't be talked about - it's good to be able to hold the other copper mine, and I can't take care of the rest." β
"This ...... Be. β
After a pause, looking at Guan Zhuofan's color, Xu Silin said carefully, "However, Mrs. Dapu is good at dancing with long sleeves, and she has made friends in the three mountains and five mountains, even in the Satsuma Domain, there are many people...... Well, it's for Mrs. Daiura, and even if Japan really gets into chaos, the 'Keung Kee Co., Ltd.' may not suffer too much loss. β
In Japan, when it comes to Oura Kei, she is referred to as "Mrs. Akei" -- including in front of Oura Kei, which is already a conventional title, and very few people call her "Mrs. Oura".
But, ahem, now I'm facing the Auxiliary King! It's not good to talk about Da Puqing's name in front of him - everyone knows that "Mrs. Aqing" was once the forbidden belly of the auxiliary king!
So, uh, I had to shout "Mrs. Oura".
As for the fact that "there were many people in the Satsuma clan who respected Mrs. Oura," this is true, but it is an embarrassing fact.
There are countless people in Oura Kei, and many Satsuma ministers have bowed down under her pomegranate skirt, for example, Matsukata Masayoshi, who was buried in Wakasa Bay, has been her guest in the curtain, and this group of people naturally "respects" Oura Qing.
"Da Puqing's tricks," Guan Zhuofan said lightly, "It's not a big mess, it naturally works; It's a big mess, but that's all there is to say - you can't bet on it. β
"Uh...... Be! β
"Japan is in a mess," Guan Zhuofan said slowly, "It's not impossible, but it's just a small mess, not a big mess." β
"Yes--it's just a small mess, not a big mess."
Guan Zhuofan nodded, and expressed satisfaction with Xu Silin's "grasping the key points", "Actually, it's not necessarily that you can't make a big mess - but it depends on how you mess up." β
"This ...... Please admonish the prince! β
"If the whole of Japan," said Kwan Zhuofan, "is a mess of seven or eight pieces, and it can't be put together again, it's fine; What I am afraid of is that it will be ruled by chaos, and after chaos, it will be bad. β
Xu Silin quickly turned his mind, "Yes!" The prince is from a high position! If, as the prince said, 'the whole of Japan is in chaos into seven or eight pieces, and it can no longer be put together', then we can ...... Break each, divide and conquer! If he 'rules from chaos, and after chaos' - well, even if the shogunate is still in charge, I am afraid of ...... It won't be as tame as it is now. β
"Not bad!" Guan Zhuofan said, "However, if Japan really 'rules from chaos and rule after chaos', then the one in charge of the country must no longer be the shogunate!" The big waves wash the sand, and with the twilight of the shogunate, it will definitely be 'washed away'! When the time comes, don't say anything about 'taming', Japan will probably turn around and regard China as an enemy! Hmph, Renchen is in chaos, nine times out of ten, it's going to be repeated! β
Xu Silin's heart was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and nodded solemnly, "Yes, what the prince said is very true, Japan...... That's really the case. β
The Renchen Rebellion was the Battle of Wanli Korea.
"The shogunate is in charge," Guan Zhuofan said, "and it is in our best interestβ"
After a pause, "If the shogunate is in charge of the country, Japan must be sick -- the shogunate has no ability to reinvent Japan, and if he wants to reinvent Japan, he must first reinvent himself, so that the shogunate will not become the shogunate, which is equivalent to ...... Hehe, take your own life and exchange it for Japan's life! What can the shogunate do about this kind of thing? β
"Lord Wang...... Whip in!
"A sick Japan is the best Japan -- I have to rest in bed obediently, and I don't have the strength to make trouble for my neighbors."
"Yes!"
"Also," Guan Zhuofan said, "since the sick are dead and alive, we have to use ginseng soup to hang our lives, this ginseng soup is only available to us, and in order to ask for this drink, the shogunate can't help but bow down to us." β
"Yes!"
"However," Guan Zhuofan sighed, "there are still many people who want to be reborn for Japan - this kind of person will only become more and more, not less and less!" The shogunate's body is too weak, and one day, he will be lifted by someone, and even the person will take the bed and fall to the ground! β
"This ...... It is indeed impossible not to have long-term worries! β
"Far from it!" Guan Zhuofan said, "I think it's a matter of one or two years, two or three years!" If you don't get it right, it's not surprising that something will happen next year! β
Xu Silin's heart jumped, "Then, please show the prince, let's ...... Why? β
Guan Zhuofan didn't speak, raised his head, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Regarding his own problems, Xu Silin has some regrets - the auxiliary king may not know "what to do"?
Besides, he is a minister to Japan, "what is the plan" or something, he should have asked the auxiliary king, and he should have answered it himself!
After a while, seeing that the prince had not yet spoken, Xu Silin said cautiously, "Lord, if Japan's 'Ichiku' is really big, as long as the Satsuma clan does not interfere, the shogunate may not be able to cope with it with its own strength, at least, uh...... It's a win-or-loser! However, if the Satsuma clan intervened, the shogunate would definitely not be able to deal with it! So, I thought, uh, the crux of the matter, it's still in the Satsuma Domainβ"
"Do you think," Guan Zhuofan spoke, "'Yihua' is really making a big fuss, will the Satsuma Clan sit on the shore and watch the fire?" β
"This ......"
Xu Silin hesitated for a moment and said: "The fall of the Changzhou Domain is not far away, and the Satsuma Domain may not send troops directly, but it is almost certain that the wind will set fire to the fire and add fuel to the fire. β
"That's right," Guan Zhuofan nodded, "'Set fire to the wind and add fuel to the fire'!" For example, if all the fallen shogunate factions in the domain were released, and then secretly funded their guns and guns, if it was just a group of Itakura Katsushi's "mud legs", maybe the shogunate would be able to deal with it on its own, but as soon as the downfall faction joined, this "one pinch" tasted very different! β
What do you mean by that? By the way, "I'm not afraid that hooligans will fight, I'm afraid that hooligans are educated"!
"Lord Wang!" Xu Silin said, "For example, Li Chuang, if there is no Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance, it will not be able to become any climate!" β
Guan Zhuofan's fingers lightly touched on several sides, "That's the truth!"
After a pause, "The difference is that Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance will eventually be under Li Chuang, so Li Chuang finally perished, but the leader of the Fallen Curtain Faction joined the 'One Hang', and the leader of the 'One Twist' must have been replaced by the Fallen Curtain Faction, so compared to Li Chuang, it is even more worrying!" β
"Yes!"
This, well, is "usurping the leadership of the peasant revolution."
"Also," said Guan Zhuofan, "it is not certain that the Satsuma Domain will not send troops directly - if the whole of Japan is destroyed, will the Satsuma Domain not come down the mountain to pick peaches?" β
"This ...... Be! β
"So, Zisui," Guan Zhuofan said, "you're right, the key to the matter is in the Satsuma Domainβ"
After a pause, "What is the plan?" -- Draw from the bottom of the kettle! β
Xu Silin's heart jumped, "What does the prince mean?" β
"I haven't figured it out yet-" Guan Zhuofan said in a deep voice, "Also, this trip will take time and opportunity-"
After a pause, "Of course, we can create the opportunity ourselves, but this time-"
After another pause, "It will take at least a year -- so, no matter what, Japan can't be in chaos next year!" β
Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Silin and accentuated his tone, "The most important thing is that we can't smoke at both ends!" You can't fight on two fronts! Zisui, do you understand? β
"This ...... Humble duty understands! β
The two ends -- the other end -- the other end is, of course, the French one.
"After surviving next year, calmly, things will be easy to do!"
"Yes!"
"Therefore, although the shogunate is a dou, he has to reluctantly help him, and he has passed this hurdle first!"
"Yes!"
"There are a few things you remember."
"Please admonish the prince!"
"First, there is no need for the shogunate to repay the military expenses for next year, and it will be postponed for one year -- that is, China and the United States will not share the foreign taxes of the Japanese customs next year."
"Second, raise another sum of money for the shogunate, and try to self-deny the interest rate, and tell him to lend it to the peasants and small craftsmen at low interest - the interest must be low! Let's talk about it after this green and yellow threshold - hey, even if you want to 'take a pinch of it', please put it back for a year! β
"Third, I want to lower the price of rice for him."
"I can't think of any good way to do this, so I have to kill a few more hoarders, and I don't know if it works? If we really want to lower the price of rice, in the final analysis, we have to increase the supply, we don't have any extra rice to sell to him, let's see if there is any extra rice in Vietnam! β
"Fourth, Dapuqing is there, you have to put on some gestures, this food appearance, don't be too ugly! For example, the loans for farmers and small craftsmen that we just mentioned can be regarded as a part of the 'Qinghe Society'; and there are also a few more good halls and a few more porridge factories. β
"Fifth, send two more battalions of Xuan Army!"
"Originally, there was already a 'special composite battalion' in Japan, and with these two battalions, the Japanese garrison would be more than one regiment, and it was really chaotic.
"However, there are only these three battalions, and for the time being, we can't put more troops in Japan - there are people, but we don't have energy, so I don't dare to be distracted! It's still the same sentence, you can't smoke at both ends! You can't fight on two fronts! β
"Yes! Obey the king's commands! β
