In this great era, personal strength is really insignificant and often only goes with the flow. Lin Shigong's suicide was already the strongest resistance to this era.

Of course, in the face of the invasion of the Japanese, you can choose another way to resist, but before that, Lin Shigong had never had this consciousness.

So it is conceivable how shocked Lin Shigong was when he saw a unit in Putian City ready to go.

Relatively speaking, Bai Qi's emotions are much more stable. After all, Bai Qi has seen too many similar scenes. In Bai Qi's opinion, a small scale of hundreds of people is not even worth preparing a special ceremony for this.

For the Chinese descendants in Putian City, this scene is really uncommon. The Han people are actually a deep and introverted nation. As long as the Chinese are not forced into a desperate situation, the Chinese generally do not choose to resist with such fierce means, but are more likely to obey and struggle to survive.

Public opinion also needs guidance. After months of publicity, the Chinese descendants in Putian City have been looking forward to the scene before them for a long time, so the martial arts venue is surrounded by a crowd of people.

It cannot be considered a melon-eating crowd. After all, everyone in the field is related to them, and they are truly prosperous and both prosperous and lose. If this time cannot be successful, many of them probably won't survive.

Since the militia lined up in the martial arts field, there have been endless cheers around, and then someone brought out the fine wine to practice it for the heroes.

Practicing wine is of course the last part. After Pan Tingzhen finished reading the sacrificial text, dozens of girls who had been waiting beside him rushed over to fill the warriors with great wine and wish them a smooth journey.

When it was time to express his determination, Bai Qi finally came forward.

Bai Qi didn't talk much nonsense, so he picked up the porcelain bowl in his hand and drank it all. He did not smash the porcelain bowl in his hand, but instead gave it to the girl whose eyes had turned into a heart-shaped shape. Then he called out and set off, then turned around and strode away.

Lin Shigong was also taken away with him. Lin Shigong has now lost the ability to move and was carried away by two strong men.

As soon as he left the village, Lin Shigong tried his best to break free from the two great men and caught up with Bai Qi in two steps.

"Mr. Bai, are you going to beat the Japanese?" Lin Shigong still had fantasies deep in his heart.

"Yes..." Bai Qi rode on a not-so-tall Mongolian horse, with a very leisurely expression.

"If the Japanese were driven away, Mr. Bai, how would you treat my king?" Lin Shigong asked, this was his most worried question.

"It depends on whether your king knows the appearance. If he knows the appearance, it doesn't matter if he continues to be the king. If he doesn't know the appearance, don't blame me for being rude." Bai Qi told the truth, there was no need to tell lies.

How to deal with the King of Ryukyu is indeed a difficult problem. According to Li Mu's idea, he wanted Pan Tingzhen to replace him. Now it seems that there is no need. If the King of Ryukyu is willing to cooperate with Li Mu's actions, it doesn't matter if he keeps him. Anyway, the power will definitely be in the hands of Pan Tingzhen.

"It's so good, so good." Although Lin Shigong was still worried, with Bai Qi's promise, Lin Shigong still breathed a sigh of relief.

But vaguely, Lin Shigong was a little disappointed in his heart.

All Chinese people know the saying "If you are not my race, your heart will be different", and Lin Shigong certainly knows it too.

Although King Shang Tai of Ryukyu had the kindness of knowing Lin Shigong, after all, Lin Shigong is a descendant of the 36th surname, and this fact cannot be changed, so it is normal for Lin Shigong to have other ideas in his mind.

"I also want to ask you a question. If Japan really annexes Ryukyu, then what would you do?" Bai Qi's question was a bit heartbroken, and this was exactly a question that Lin Shigong had been avoiding.

"If Japan really annexes Ryukyu..." Lin Shigong looked up at Shuri, with a confused expression, his feet subconsciously moved forward without any force: "Lin Shi received the emperor's kindness. If Japan really wanted to annex Ryukyu, Lin would definitely fight to the end, even if he was torn to pieces for this."

Lin Shigong's words were not just a saying. He did do this in the future. In order to restore the Ryukyu Kingdom, until the last glimmer of hope was shattered, Lin Shigong expressed his indignation by committing suicide.

Putting aside Lin Shigong's bloodline, this is indeed a very bloody one.

Arriving at the Yamaguchi, there was a checkpoint set up by the Ryukyu people in front of him. Bai Qi's original intention was to order the troops to break through with force, but Lin Shigong voluntarily came forward to be a lobbyist, hoping to use this method to make the Ryukyu soldiers take the initiative to remove the checkpoint.

"This checkpoint is made of Japanese characters. Are you sure they will listen to you?" Bai Qi looked suspicious and his face was full of disbelief.

The Japanese infiltration of Ryukyu has been very serious. As far as Bai Qi knows, 80% of the officers of the Royal City Guard have been bribed by the Japanese. This checkpoint is the main method for the Japanese to curb Putian City. Bai Qi doesn't believe that Lin Shiyi uses his three-inch tongue to convince the officers here.

"Let's do your best..." Although Lin Shigong was not very confident, he didn't want to see the Chinese and Ryukyu people fighting each other.

It’s good to do your best to do your job, but the result depends on God’s intention. If Lin Shiyi succeeds, it’s the best. If he fails, it’s also considered that Bai Qi made his last effort for peace.

"20 minutes..." Bai Qi looked at the pocket watch on his chest, turned around and ordered the troops to rest on the spot.

"Please wait for my good news..." Lin Shigong's voice was not very confident, but he still had to leave because of his feelings and reason.

In fact, the checkpoint was very simple. Two wooden houses were built next to the mountain road at the foot of the mountain. A tree trunk was crossed in the middle of the road. More than a dozen soldiers holding muskets were walking under the shade of the tree next to the road, looking a little listless.

Of course, it is impossible for an officer to go on duty in person. At this moment, the only officer was resting in the house. The person who accompanied him to drink tea was the military officer of the Japanese Embassy in Ryukyu.

"The Chinese in Putian have been ready to move recently. The sentry we set up at the sea has not played any role. I now have reason to believe that they have been bribed by the damn Qing people, so when today's sentry comes back, we will hold them accountable." Wu Nan felt very angry when he remembered the unknown gunman who appeared in Shuri City a few days ago.

Since Manchus entered the Central Plains, the Japanese have looked down on Chinese people, including those who have already become American nationals.

The Japanese did have many eyes and ears in Ryukyu. Although Pan Tingzhen had blocked the news, the Japanese still knew about Bai Qi and the others.

The Japanese government even protested to the US government for this, but the result disappointed the Japanese government. Although the US Department of War admitted that there was a Chinese named Bai Qi serving in the US military before, Bai Qi has now retired and is not in the active ranks of the US military. Therefore, the US government and the US Department of War both said that they cannot interfere in Bai Qi's personal behavior and cannot interfere because this is Bai Qi's freedom.

Although I was disappointed with this result, the Japanese government was not surprised. In fact, the Japanese government had long anticipated the shirk of Americans, which was exactly the answer the Japanese government wanted the most.

"Those who do not abide by the rules should die..." The Ryukyu officer in military uniform was full of murderous aura.

In terms of clothing alone, the style of Ryukyu military uniforms is similar to that of Japanese military uniforms.

This is related to the Japanese government's long-term planning and is considered a cultural export of Japan. The Japanese government hopes to use this method to make Ryukyu people accustomed to and even accept everything from Japan and prepare for annexation of Ryukyu.

Now it seems that this move is very useful, at least the Ryukyu army has no resistance to Japanese military uniforms.

"Kuroda, you are so loyal and loyal, you will definitely be commended by the Empire." Wu Nan was serious, as if he was holding a commendation order in his hand.

"Kuroda, haha, it's such a good name..." Before he could respond for a day, Lin Shigong mixed with an angry voice came from the door.

This is a coincidence. Lin Shigong didn't expect that he could hear such an unexpected message by just listening to it.

"Master Lin..." Kuroda's face looked very ugly. He subconsciously stood up and grabbed the handle of the gun at his waist with his hand.

It seems that Kuroda has a way. The other soldiers use the flintlock rifle, but the pistol at Kuroda's waist is actually a python export-type detective pistol.

This also confirms that Kuroda must have colluded with the Japanese. You should know that the goods from Junma Group are not cheap. With Kuroda's meager salary, it is not enough to buy a detective pistol from Junma Group. It is not enough to save for one year without eating or drinking.

"Mr. Lin, have you... completed the task?" Wu Nan was a little curious about why Lin Shigong appeared here.

Although Wu Nan knew about Lin Shigong's mission, in Wu Nan's opinion, there was almost no possibility of completing this mission, so Wu Nan was very surprised.

"Yes, I have completed the task. Don't you want me to bring Bai Qi? I have brought people now." Lin Shigong's face was as cold as frost. He walked a few steps to Kuroda, pointed at Kuroda's nose and began to curse: "You should be ashamed of the clothes you are wearing. His Majesty the King trusts you and accepts your order to do such an important position. Is this how you repay His Majesty's trust?"

"Shut up, Mr. Lin, do you think our king has the need to exist? From now on, our emperor will only have one, that is, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Japanese Empire." Kuroda gave up and admitted it simply.

"Shameless! You should be hung on a gallows and executed at the gate of the city. Everyone should know the ugly things you did. Your family should be ashamed of you..." Lin Shigong was so angry that he trembled all over. He had never seen such shamelessness as a father.

"It's you who should shut up! You damn Chinese, you think you can be a noble Ryukyu person by wearing the official robe of Ryukyu. We can give you everything and take away everything from you. Just like your compatriots in Putian City, you should be hung at the gate of the city..." Kuroda was unwilling to wait for death, so he simply turned around and made a move. This ability to put on the hat is also OK.

"Bastard..." Lin Shigong's eyes were so angry that he rushed forward and wanted to fight Kuroda for life.

"Wait, wait..." Bai Qi's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Who are you?" Kuroda and Takeo asked almost at the same time.

"I am the Bai Qi you are looking for. Unfortunately, I met in this environment. It is too simple and the air is not fresh enough. Can we talk outside?" Bai Qi was in a good mood. He didn't expect to see such a big show.

"Mr. Lin, you really know the enemy..." Kuroda's brain circuit was also quite strange. His first reaction was to frame Lin Shigong first.

"Yes, I am indeed colluding with the enemy. What hope can the country have in the hands of people like you? Since that's the case, then we might as well change the way..." Lin Shigong didn't want to defend himself. The impact he was hit today was already great enough.

At this time, Bai Qi took two more steps into the room, and made way for the door, and a large group of fully armed soldiers rushed in.

When Kuroda saw this scene, his face immediately changed color, but Kuroda was still rational and did not pull out the pistol at his waist.

What's the use of pulling a gun? Kuroda's gun only has six bullets, but at this time there were more than six soldiers in the house, not to mention that Kuroda's gun technique was not as good as one shot.

"So you are Mr. Wu Nan, so lucky. I originally wanted to go to the Japanese Embassy in Ryukyu to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. I have a question that I didn't understand. Don't you want to ask me why I went to find you?" Bai Qi's tone was a little slight, but it was not frivolous, but Zhizhu who controlled the whole audience was holding it.

"Mr. Bai Qi, I'm really lucky. I didn't expect you to be a Chinese..." Wu Nan's expression was a bit complicated.

This answer is a bit perfunctory. The name "Bai Qi" is absolutely Chinese. Well, foreigners can't understand what the name represents at all, so even if they take a Chinese name, they won't take this one.

"It's better to chat while walking. To be honest, I don't have much time to waste here. Don't you want me to go to Ryukyu? Let's get on the road together." Bai Qi didn't want to spend too long here, and it's still far from Shuri here, so it's better to get on the road as early as possible.

Takeno and Kuroda didn't say anything, and their expressions were ugly.

A soldier came over, took away the weapons from Kuroda and Takeno's waist, and then conducted a simple body search, leaving Takeno's gold pocket watch.

Of course, the pocket watch ended up in Bai Qi's hands. Bai Qi turned around and gave it to Lin Shigong without any hesitation.

"Hmph, General Bai, you will not receive any reward without merit." Lin Shigong didn't even want it.
Chapter completed!
