Chapter 357: Vertical and Horizontal Strategies

"Yonghei, your blood revenge has been avenged, you can rest in peace......" Another member of the Odd Soldier team searched out the silver family crest badge of Yuhei Konishi from the jacket pocket of Murata Jingfang's corpse, and also shed tears, "Yonghei, we eliminated the enemy for you, you saw it all......"

Just as the members of the odd soldiers were mourning the sacrifice of Konishi Yonghei, they saw Lin Yiqing calmly take out the lighter and set the rifle design sketch in his hand on fire.

Lin Yiqing watched it slowly burn in his hand and turn into ash smoke, and sneered.

"There won't be any more Murata rifles." Lin Yiqing said in a deep voice.

Hearing the teacher say such a strange sentence, the members of the Odd Soldiers were all surprised.

Hidehiko Sato was just about to ask, when a burst of cannon sound suddenly came from a distance.

Lin Yiqing looked at the direction where the cannon sound came from, frowned, and walked quickly towards the hillside.

The sound of artillery came from the direction of the coast, Lin Yiqing came to the top of the slope, looked at the sea, and saw that on the sea, a government warship flying the Japanese flag was pouring artillery fire into the Satsuma army battery on the shore.

As soon as he saw the three huge stuffy turrets on this warship, Lin Yiqing immediately recognized its identity.

"Fuso" ironclad!

"It's the 'Fuso' that is shelling the positions of our troops!" One of the Wonder Soldiers said, "What about our 'Hiei' and 'Kongo'? ”

"Let's go! Let's hurry back! Lin Yiqing thought for a moment and ordered.

When Lin Yiqing returned to Osaka Castle, it was already getting late, and the shelling of the "Fuso" had stopped. The sea fell silent. But on land. The sporadic sound of gunfire continued to be heard, making it difficult for people to sleep.

Lin Yiqing and the members of the Odd Soldiers walked in the streets and alleys, Lin Yiqing saw many boys and girls standing on the wall or on the roof of their own houses, looking into the distance and laughing, whenever there was a red light flashing, they would clap their hands and shout happily, not knowing that the red light was on the other side. What is going on is a battle of blood and fire.

Lin Yiqing and the others rode the war horses brought by the people who received them, and went all the way to the staff base camp, and after arriving at the staff base camp, Lin Yiqing was shocked to find that Saigo Takamori and Kirino Toshiaki, Nomura Shinosuke, Beppu Shinsuke and other Satsuma army generals were all waiting for him here.

Seeing Lin Yiqing's face blue and green camouflage, his body covered with sludge and blades of grass, as if he had crawled out of a muddy puddle, Saigo Takamori and the samurai couldn't help it.

"Where did Han Peng go to kill the enemy? Do you want to look like this? What kind of enemy needs Han Peng's personal action? Saigo Takamori asked with a smile.

"The enemy has sent an assassination squad of elite archers to disadvantage our army. I was worried that they would cause harm to our army, so I personally led the team. to be eliminated. Lin Yiqing replied.

"All the enemies are destroyed?" Saigo Takamori asked.

"It's all gone." Lin Yiqing replied affirmatively, "The leader of the team is Murata Jingfang, an instructor of the Toyama Military School, and he is also among them. ”

Hearing the name of Murata Jingfang, Saigo Takamori seemed to remember the past of the Fallen War, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Murata Jingfang was once the first marksman in my Satsuma Domain, participated in the Battle of Fushimi Toba, and then transferred to various parts of the Northeast, and made war exploits, and then became a royal soldier, and once went to Europe to inspect weapons, he is a rare talent, but I didn't expect that now I have become the enemy of our army, and I died under Hanpeng's gun......"

Saigo Takamori sighed and shook his head, not saying anything more.

"Hanpeng, do you want to ...... Let's go for a change first? It just so happens that Chiho is here. Kirino Toshiaki looked at Lin Yiqing's appearance of muddy water and grass blades, and said with a smile, "We all happen to have something to discuss with you." ”

"Yes! They, now that they're out of you, don't even know how to fight. Saigo Takamori looked at the samurai and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Lin Yiqing agreed, and asked Hidehiko Sato and other subordinates to go and change their clothes, and he turned into the back room by himself, and just happened to see Chiho Kirino.

Chiho Kirino startled Lin Yiqing's appearance, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Hehe, there is Lao Chiho......" Before Lin Yiqing finished speaking, he saw the figure of another woman appear behind Chiho Kirino, looking at him with a smile.

"Yunqing, why are you here?" Lin Yiqing couldn't help but be stunned when she saw He Yunqing.

"What? Can't I come? He Yunqing glared at him.

"It's too dangerous here! Besides, you're still pregnant! Lin Yiqing said urgently.

"Chiho is also pregnant! You don't care about her at all! He Yunqing said angrily, "Look at you! What has become of it? How can a general be personally involved in danger? Is killing people fun? ”

Lin Yiqing was afraid that her voice would attract the attention of her subordinates and damage her tall image in front of her subordinates, so she hurriedly winked at her.

He Yunqing snorted, and stopped glaring at him with a lot of face, and stepped forward and gently removed the blades of grass on his face, "Li Zhitai has a letter to you, and the eldest brother asked me to bring it to you." She whispered.

Qianguo, Beijing, Xianliang Temple.

In the garden, Li Shaoquan lay on a recliner, closed his eyes and recuperated.

At this time, he recalled the situation when he and Hayashi Yizhe set a strategy to weaken Japan.

……

The sun had sunset, the golden sunset in the west had disappeared, and the clear moon in the sky was bright, and the mercury-like moonlight was softly sprinkled on the post road.

Li Shaoquan and Lin Yizhe walked slowly along the post road one after the other, while several Huai soldiers and shipbuilders with spears on their backs followed far behind, following behind them to perform the duty of guarding.

"Kunyu ......" Li Shaoquan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

Lin Yizhe raised his head and met Li Shaoquan's concerned gaze.

"Your heart seems to be in turmoil!" Li Shaoquan looked at Lin Yizhe, and under the moonlight, he could clearly see the tiny blisters at the corners of Lin Yizhe's mouth and some deep-set eye sockets.

And his originally delicate face also has traces like wind and frost knives!

Seeing what this young man who was less than thirty years old had gone through, Li Shaoquan couldn't help but sigh.

Listened to Li Shaoquan's words. Lin Yizhe's heart sank. He knew that his mind was indeed a little confused. Although he tried his best to cover it up, he didn't expect to be caught up in Li Shaoquan's eyes.

Now that the war is over, the pain in his heart caused by the death of his lover has not yet dissipated!

"I've been a little restless these days...... Lin Yizhe couldn't confide in Li Shaoquan, just nodded with a wry smile, "The war is over, and the slander is coming, and I don't know how to deal with it." It's a bit of a burn-out. ”

"Hehe, Kunyu is too worried, how much is it worth?" Li Shaoquan smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Lin Yizhe's shoulder: "How can you be annihilated because of your great achievement?" However, the villain's dark arrow is impossible to guard against......" Speaking of this, the expression on Li Shaoquan's face turned solemn in an instant, "You beheaded Liu Lanzhou, but you gave that person a big blow to the head, with that person's heart." I will never let you go! So when the Queen Mother is there, she has to do her homework! ”

"Brother Zhang Tong, can you teach me a lesson or two?" Lin Yizhe smiled. Asked.

"You offended that Qingliu before, and this time you dared to be the first in the world and angered the Zuo family, but as long as the queen mother worked hard, they couldn't move you at all!" Li Shaoquan said, "The Queen Mother is kind by nature, the most affectionate and righteous, your previous foundation has been very good, this time you only need to move with affection, everything will go smoothly, no one can hinder you, it is the true nature of the Zuo family, and there is nothing you can do!" ”

"I heard the people in the palace say that the queen mother heard that many people died at the hands of the Japanese army, and she was very compassionate, and called it 'Yifan', you might as well make a fuss about this, and if necessary, Qin Ting's crying is not unavoidable." Li Shaoquan seemed to feel that he had given Lin Yizhe a somewhat bad idea, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "You just need to grasp the proportions of this." ”

"Brother Zhang Tong's words, I have written them down." Lin Yizhe immediately understood what Li Shaoquan meant and nodded.

"In addition, the sixth master and Wen Xiang, you also have to work hard." Li Shaoquan said, and nodded Lin Yizhe one step further, "Wen Ji values you very much, you may as well go to Beijing to see you this time, there is no harm in going to pay homage to Wen Xiang." ”

"I have long had this intention, but I don't know if Wen Xiang is willing to see ......me," Lin Yizhe hesitated for a moment and said.

"You can go with confidence!" Li Shaoquan seemed to have guessed what Lin Yizhe was thinking, and said with a smile, "Wen Xiang will definitely not refuse!" I've heard that Wen Xiang intends to ask for a protΓ©gΓ© post! ”

Hearing Li Shaoquan's words, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but be stunned.

Wen Xiang wanted to accept himself as a protΓ©gΓ©, which he had never thought of!

"There is no need to rush this matter, if Wen Xiangguo has this intention, your future affairs will be much easier." Li Shaoquan said,

"Thank you, Brother Zhang Tong, for reminding me." Lin Yizhe said gratefully.

"The affairs of the world are just man-made!" Li Shaoquan said, "Regarding the current peace situation, the Empress Dowager asked, and you should also be prepared." ”

"What Brother Zhang Tong said is very true, I have done some homework here in advance." Lin Yizhe smiled and said, "It's just that it's going to go out, but I'm afraid that I will end up with a 'flattering' infamy again." ”

"You're planning to pull the tiger skin of the foreigners and play the art of vertical and horizontal to suppress Japan, which is not bad." Li Shaoquan was stunned for a moment, then understood, and asked with a smile, "How did you come up with this?" ”

Lin Yizhe looked at Li Shaoquan and smiled slightly: "I don't know if Brother Zhang Tong still remembers, how did he bring Huaiyong into Shanghai back then?" ”

"What do you mean? ......" Li Shaoquan looked at Lin Yizhe and asked thoughtfully.

"This is also a way to get the Japanese, who are trying to pull the United States into the water when they invade Taiwan this time." Lin Yizhe continued with a faint gaze: "Today's situation in Middle-earth, if you want to cheer up, you must be peaceful on the outside, and you must change the law on the inside!" Together with Rong, in addition to keeping treaties and making peace with other countries, it can also link one or two countries as foreign aid, otherwise, with the constraints inside and outside the imperial court, it is difficult to change the law with the strength of our own alone, and since there is damage in the embankment, why not make up for it outside the embankment? ”

"According to Kunyu's words, how should I make up for it?" Li Shaoquan asked without moving.

"Brother Zhang Tong should know the situation in the West, today's West, just like my Chinese Spring and Autumn Period, the heroes rise together, compete for the world, and the major powers are all vertical and horizontal, folding and rushing bottles, and widely combining vertical and horizontal strategies...... "Lin Yizhe's eyes radiated a strange light, "Brother Zhang Tong has a deep Chinese culture, and he should understand." What's more, the Japanese have used this strategy. How can I not use it? ”

"I see......" Li Shaoquan nodded again and again. At this time, he already understood what Lin Yizhe was planning to do.

"It's a good idea. However, I am afraid that I can't ......speak clearly for the Empress Dowager," Li Shaoquan muttered, "But Wen Xiang and the sixth master are there, you might as well ......"

"Wen Xiang and the six princes, I'm afraid it's not easy to say it clearly." Lin Yizhe said, "It's just some of my superficial thoughts, and I said that I know ...... Brother Zhang Tong."

"Otherwise, Wen Xiang once talked about the topic of Japan. How to solve it, I want to hear what you say, your method can be used to solve the problem! Li Shaoquan said with burning eyes.

"Japan is a problem in the heart of Middle-earth, and if you want to break Japan, you must take both internal and external measures," said Hayashi Yizhe, "according to the information received so far, Japan will be in great chaos in three or four years after this defeat." It can be weakened at the right time, and wait until the navy is completed. A decisive battle with it is a matter of decided. ”

"How did Kunyu know that there would be chaos in Japan in three or four years?" Li Shaoquan's eyes were like torches, he looked directly at Lin Yizhe, and asked in a deep voice.

Li Shaoquan, who had dealt with the Japanese many times, had always been deeply worried about Japan after the Meiji Restoration, and when he heard Hayashi Yizhe say that Japan would have civil strife in the near future, he immediately asked about it.

"The main reason for Japan's invasion of Taiwan this time is that its domestic samurai have no livelihood for the new government and seek to expand their colonies abroad." Lin Yizhe said, "However, I was defeated, and I was so embarrassed that there had been many rebellions in Japan before, all of which were suppressed by its new government, but the source of the rebellion was not eradicated, and when it was cornered, chaos was inevitable." ”

"I see, what a 'misfortune'! He, the Japanese, really has a good hand in calculation! Li Shaoquan said hatefully, "Now he is still chattering in Beijing, and he also says that he was instigated by the Americans, and his intentions are so poisonous!" ”

"If you don't come and be rude, the foolish brother plans to take this opportunity to take revenge and go back, at least to make Japan suffer for a few years, and don't dare to underestimate me." Lin Yizhe said.

"That's very good." Li Shaoquan made Lin Yizhe more and more excited, "Japan and Russia are both major troubles in China, if they can really connect strong foreign aid and internal turmoil in their countries, then these two disasters can be controlled, and the country's rejuvenation is hopeful!" ”

"Exactly, Russia has always been on discord with Britain and France, and our great cadres can follow the example of Wu ......in the Spring and Autumn Period," Lin Yizhe said.

It may be that the weather is a little cold at night, Li Shaoquan remembered Lin Yizhe's previous close contacts with Britain and France, and everything suddenly became insightful, and he couldn't help but tremble violently, as if he had been shocked, he raised his head, and his dark pupils stared at Lin Yizhe without blinking.

"It turns out that Kunyu has long had this idea...... Li Shaoquan's eyes revealed a faint and cold light, "According to my brother's opinion, this is the Jin State that I can rely on to help, and the Chu State that I want to use the power of the Jin State to wrestle with...... And also...... After accumulating ten years of lessons, the Yue Kingdom that swallowed Wu with 3,000 Yue Jia, which country is ...... each country, can you try to discuss it with Kunyu? ”

"If we take our great cadres as the country of Wu, then Japan will be like the country of Yue!" Li Shaoquan said, "Russia is the state of Chu!" As for this Jin Kingdom...... It has to be the Kingdom of Great Britain! ”

Li Shaoquan's expression did not move, and he continued: "The so-called alliance with Wu to control Chu means that I want to unite with England to control Russia!" Since the war between France and Prussia, although it has been defeated and then won, the German state that France and Prussia have turned into an inextricable feud! France, on the other hand, had an enmity with Germany, so it was natural that it would have to spread everywhere and make allies in order to reap the effect of the same hatred and hatred. And its chosen ally should be England! ”

"It is precisely that although France and England have been at enmity for many years, and Russia's foreign expansion on the European continent has also been repeatedly defeated by England, it has the intention of joining forces with Germany, so Britain and France really have the intention of joining forces to resist Russia and Germany in Europe and to contain Russia in East Asia!" Lin Yizhe nodded.

"And if you want to control Russia in East Asia, the best ally is none other than me!" Li Shaoquan continued, "That's why you, Lin Kunyu, came up with such a method of 'uniting Wu to control Chu'!" ”

"It's just a vertical and horizontal technique, so I can't hide it from Brother Zhang Tong!" Lin Yizhe smiled, and said with blazing eyes: "The situation today that Shicai said is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China!" In recent years, Russia has become more and more interested in our country, and the so-called enemy of the enemy is my friend, and if the general trend is like this, our country can really form an alliance with England and France to consolidate itself! It's just that...... I'm afraid that the princes of the Dao will not have this knowledge, let alone the courage......"

"The sixth master of the court and Wen Xiang have the courage to do this, but they are just those bastards...... If not...... Li Shaoquan said with burning eyes, "and this plan, if it is to succeed, it must be controlled by powerful people in Japan......"

"Brother Zhang Tong, don't worry, the person who controls it, I have already arranged it, and I am now implementing this plan in Japan, but I need a helping hand at that time......"

……

Kunyu ...... Han Peng ......" Li Shaoquan woke up from his dream suddenly.

"Your Excellency?" Master Lou Chunfan just came in, and when he saw Li Shaoquan's face palpitating, he hurriedly walked over and asked with concern.

Li Shaoquan waved his hand to signal that there was nothing wrong, he took a deep breath and asked, "Xiting, is there something wrong?" ”

"Your Excellency, a letter from Lord Ding." Lou Chunfan handed a letter to Li Shaoquan.

Li Shaoquan took the letter and opened it, looked at it for a while, and quietly handed the letter to Lou Chunfan, "You can also take a look, Xiting." ”

Lou Chunfan took the letter and read it, and after a while, he finished reading the letter, reloaded it into the envelope, and handed it back to Li Shaoquan, although his expression was very calm, but his hands seemed to tremble slightly.

"My lord, Japan is in civil strife, the southwest half of the country is in the midst of war, and the DPRK and China are arguing over what to do. At this time, the Holy Lord summoned the adults to Beijing to report on their work, and they must inquire about this matter, but the adults have thought about how to deal with it? Lou Chunfan asked.
