Fight with the British and American devils!
That is a battle of revenge!
"If we weren't fighting the British and American monsters, we definitely wouldn't need so many people. With the power of the Ming Dynasty, if we were to fight an ordinary small country, we could win with just a few soldiers. We wouldn't have summoned so many samurai legions."
When they were talking, they had already arrived at the magistrate's office. At this time, the streets were full of loudly cheering samurai. They were all samurai from the Matsumae clan. In short, they were all a bunch of lunatics thinking about war day and night.
In fact, apart from fighting for the Ming Dynasty, these people have no other way out in Japan. Although many of them are both civil and military, they cannot be officials. At most, they can teach in schools, or else they can enter business houses. However,
The vast majority of people can only do the lowest jobs like He Jiu Zhengchen and ordinary people.
Being a bather is not something you can do casually. Although they have different abilities, the place where they can show off their skills is the battlefield!
"Waku-kun, is this Waku-kun?"
After working in the bathhouse for a long time, he met an acquaintance as soon as he went out. Waku Zhengchen turned around and saw an old acquaintance, Matsumoto Maebei.
"Matsumoto Maebei! When did you come back? It turns out you are not..."
He had joined the Tokugawa rebels, and he was a samurai from the same domain. Naturally, they recognized him, but they were not familiar with him. Although they were not familiar with Qiu, they knew that his name was not included in the rebel army, because
The rebel army's roster was burned, and many people who joined the rebel army were spared.
"I just came back not long ago,"
Matsumoto Maebei squeezed in next to Waku Masachan and said with a smile.
"Oh, it's really an honor for us to be able to go out for our lord this time."
Now he has long lost his original hostility towards the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty... that is their lord!
A samurai has no country, only his lord!
Originally, he joined the Tokugawa Army because his family's finances were very tight. Later, after he was defeated and fled, he learned that his family had also received a "favour". His gratitude was naturally indescribable. Of course, now that he has enlisted, he has
It is an important factor to serve the lord and atone for his sins, but making money is also an important reason. If you join the army, you can get more salary.
"Yes, it is indeed our honor?"
Hejiu Zhengchen nodded,
"Then let's go on an expedition together!"
"I wonder if you will fight under Saigo-kun's command?"
Matsumoto said. Although he was a warrior of the Matsumae clan, he still admired Saigo Takamori very much. After all, among so many high-ranking officials, only Saigo stood up to speak for them.
"If that's the case, it would really be our honor!"
On this day, all over Japan, the samurai were celebrating the New Year. They came to the governor's office excitedly. Although the recruitment order had not been issued, they took the initiative to sign up.
In addition to their salary, another reason why they are so enthusiastic is because they are warriors of the Ming Emperor and serve their lord. That is the duty of a warrior - ordinary Japanese in this era have no concept of country and nation, and are literate
Although the samurai class with a rate of 100% has some national consciousness, they care more about the "vassal" and the "lord" because they are the warriors of the lord. They will live and die for their lord. They have long been carved
It's deep in their bones.
After the emperor "returned his official title" and was abandoned, the samurai changed from a noble nobleman to a masterless ronin overnight. Their loss is understandable.
After the "print contribution", these ronin warriors regained their master overnight, and they once again found the value of their existence.
For the samurai, Japan has never existed. All samurai are the retainers of the Ming Emperor. Even if the Ming Emperor does not pay them a salary, they will be loyal to the Lord from the day the Ming Emperor distributes the "family salary".
This became the mission of all Japanese warriors. What they were loyal to was no longer Japan or that vassal, but the Ming Emperor!
In fact, Japan... no, the Japanese samurai are so upright. As long as they are used properly, they will be a sharp samurai sword of the Ming Dynasty!
"They are all my innocent sons of the Ming Dynasty!"
Qian Daduhu, who was in the Protector's Office, said with emotion when he received the enthusiastic applications for warriors from all the vassals.
"If your majesty can have some retainers who will respond positively, then there is no need to worry about the failure of the great cause of the empire."
"Your Excellency, I wonder where your Majesty will raise troops?"
Okubo Toshimichi asked tentatively.
"Now not only are public opinions in various countries agitated, but consuls from various countries are also extremely concerned. They are worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Qian Degong laughed loudly before Okubo Toshimichi finished speaking.
"The first thing they are worried about is definitely whether we will use troops against the Manchus. As for the second thing, Britain and the United States, they... well, you can tell them directly that this conscription will be used in Africa!"
"Africa!"
Ito Hirobumi's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
"Is Your Majesty going to send troops to help France fight?"
When it comes to Africa, Ito Hirobumi naturally thinks of France. France is currently at war with the Turks in Libya. The war has been going on for several months. Now His Majesty has recruited so many warriors, and they still have to use them in Africa. This must be to help the French.
Already.
"France...Hey, I really didn't expect that the second most powerful country in Europe could be so miserable. It took so long to defeat a small Libya, and it actually asked the empire to send reinforcements. It's simply ridiculous!"
Standing on the side of the Ming Dynasty, Okubo Toshimichi was no longer in awe of great powers such as Britain and France as he had been in the past.
After all, beating a dog depends on the owner. Today's Japan... No, Japan is now protected by its motherland. Naturally, the great powers can no longer treat them like they did in the past. Even the treaty revision has not made any progress for many years.
, was completely taken over by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Unlike when Japan went to talk to others, they did not talk about it at all. After the Ming Dynasty took over, France, the Netherlands and other countries have abolished the "friendly" trade treaty. As for the United States, it is only a matter of time.
.
This is the benefit of recognizing your father. Japan was so peaceful in the past, who would care about Japan?
"Help the French?"
He stood up and walked in front of Ito Hirobumi. Qian Degong, who was over 1.8 meters tall, stood in front of him who was only about 1.5 meters tall. He looked like a giant. When he stared at him, Ito Hirobumi couldn't help but feel.
Tight, that kind of invisible pressure came to his face. At this moment, he heard Dadu Hu smiled and said
"Haha, helping the French has to be divided into time. It depends on the situation. The French are very good now. It's not our turn to help right now."
