Chapter 613 Qingdeng, are you looking for a woman behind the back of three heroines again?
【4400】
"Ryoma, when did you come back?"
"Just now. I came here by boat. I started from Fushimi and went north along the Yodo River. I successfully arrived in Kyoto about half an hour ago, and then I went straight to the feudal residence without stopping."
"Now that you're back, why didn't you come in through the front door openly? Why did you sneak into my room secretly?"
"Hehe, don't I want to give you a surprise?"
Takeichi Hanheita put on an expression of mixed emotions while bringing him drinks and hot appetizers, and then said to Ryoma Sakamoto next to him:
"Ryoma, last year after you suddenly left the Tosa King's Party, I couldn't feel the eclipse for more than a month and couldn't sleep."
"Looking at all of Tosa, you, Sakamoto Ryoma, are the most courageous and courageous."
"I rarely admire anyone, and you are one of the very few people that I can admire so much."
"That's why, after establishing the Tosa King Party, I will recruit you into the party as quickly as possible."
"According to my vision, you will become the deputy leader of the Tosa Kinnoi Party and my right-hand man."
"You and I will work together as brothers to cut through gold! We will carry forward the Tosa Qin King's party, further promote the development of the great cause of respect and resistance, and drive out all the barbarians in the Kingdom of God in one fell swoop."
"I even thought: If something unexpected happens to me in the future, you will inherit my position and lead my friends to move forward."
"As a result... before I promoted you to my deputy, you suddenly threatened: 'This method cannot save Japan' and left the country without hesitation. There has been no news from you since."
Sakamoto Ryoma was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly:
"Jin, I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
Wu Shi Banping shook his head quietly:
"No need to apologize. You didn't cause me any trouble, and you didn't even apologize to me."
"You are not my dog, so I have no reason to tie you to the King Qin Party."
"If you find a path that suits you better, you can boldly pursue it. I won't blame you, and you don't have to feel embarrassed."
"I'm just curious - where did you go after you left the Qinwang Party and broke away from the feudal clan? What did you do?"
Ryoma Sakamoto laughed dumbly.
"Well...it's a long story."
As he spoke, he raised his hands and rubbed the hair on his temples vigorously.
The hair, which was already very fluffy and messy, became more like a ball of yarn after he rubbed it like this.
"To put it simply - I went to increase my knowledge."
Wu Shi Banping Taiqing frowned:
"Growing knowledge?"
Ryoma Sakamoto nodded:
"Well, I went to Satsuma Domain first, but because I didn't bring the pass, I couldn't enter the country, so I had to transfer to Nagasaki."
Hearing the name "Nagasaki", Takeichi Hanheita's expression suddenly became strange.
Nagasaki was the only trading port used by the Edo shogunate during the more than two hundred years of seclusion.
The open environment, which has never been blocked, has given birth to unique customs and customs.
Generally speaking, Nagasaki people are not opposed to foreign cultures.
Unique open environment + mature port system = After the outbreak of the "Black Ship Incident", Nagasaki achieved extremely rapid development.
Today, it has become one of the most international cities in Japan.
In Nagasaki, not only can you find a variety of exotic-style buildings, but you can also see countless foreigners walking freely on the streets.
For a "fundamentalist" person like Takeichi Hanheita, Nagasaki, which is highly westernized, is simply a place like a devil's cave.
Sakamoto Ryoma ignored Takeichi Hanheita's strange expression and continued on by himself:
“There are so many foreigners in Nagasaki.”
"There are not only blond and blue-eyed Westerners, but also a large number of Qing people and Koreans."
"I visited many places in Nagasaki, mainly buildings owned by foreigners."
"After leaving Nagasaki, I went all the way north."
"We went to Himeji, Nara, Osaka, Kai, Ou... and finally almost entered the Ezo land."
"What I saw and heard along the way made me firm in that idea..."
When he mentioned the word "idea", Sakamoto Ryoma somehow emphasized his tone.
As if he was thinking about something, a heavy look of hesitation flashed across his face.
He squinted his eyes, glanced at Takeichi Hanheita beside him, and then took a deep breath:
"Jin, let me tell you the truth - the major policies of the Tosa King Party need to be adjusted urgently. We cannot fight against the Westerners with swords alone!"
"..."
Takeshi Hanpingta said nothing and had no expression on his face.
Sakamoto Ryoma stared directly at his face with a solemn expression, waiting for the other party's reaction.
After a moment, Takeshi Hanheita put down the wine glass in his hand and sighed softly:
"...Ryoma, today is the happy day for our two brothers to reunite. Let's not talk about such serious things, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sakamoto Ryoma shook his head without thinking:
"No! I have made up my mind and cannot let you make any mistakes again!"
"I want to explain all the truth... no, I want to explain the truth of the world to you today!"
At this time, Takeichi Hanheita finally raised his eyes and met Sakamoto Ryoma's eyes - a faint sneer appeared on his lips:
"It seems... travel can really change people."
"Ryoma, you have changed. You were not like this before."
"You used to be the most loyal supporter of 'respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians'."
"I really didn't expect... that one day I would hear you speak for Xi Yi."
Sakamoto Ryoma explained slowly and calmly:
"Jin, you are wrong."
“I am still the most loyal supporter of ‘respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians’.”
"My dream is still to build a country where the emperor is respected and there is no foreign invasion."
"However, I think that the so-called 'taking back our country with the sword' that you insist on now is not the real fight against the foreigners."
"When you see the Western ships in Nagasaki Port with your own eyes, you will understand: Compared with the Western steam battleships, swords and swords are nothing but embroidery needles!"
Having said this, Sakamoto Ryoma excitedly picked up the sword placed on the right side of his body and put the bottom of the sheath firmly on the ground.
"No matter how powerful the swordsman is, he can't compete with the salvo of naval guns."
"This is no longer the age of swords."
"How can we, who use swords as weapons, compete with the Westerners who have ships and cannons?"
"I support fighting the foreigners, but we cannot continue in the current form."
"Learn the advanced technology of the Westerners, enhance our strength, and wait until we have the ability to be on an equal footing with the Westerners, then drive the Westerners out - this is the real fight against the foreigners!"
Ryoma Sakamoto poured out his thoughts at once.
As soon as he finished speaking, he got a response from the other party:
"Ryoma, please forgive me for disagreeing."
"Learning Xiyi's techniques? Just imagining that scene makes me want to vomit!"
Speaking of this, Wu Shi Hanping Tai changed into an extremely solemn tone and expression:
"As a noble citizen of the Kingdom of God, how can we bow our heads to the lowly Yi Di?"
Ryoma Sakamoto frowned.
"Jin, this inexplicable arrogance can stop!"
"We are not some noble people of the Kingdom of God."
"Westerners are not lowly barbarians either."
"Open your eyes and see how big this world is!"
Having said this, Sakamoto Ryoma reached into his arms and pulled out a miniature globe as if by magic.
"Chin, look, this thing is called a 'globe', and it is a model of the planet we live on."
"This is the Qing Dynasty."
"This is America."
"This is England."
As Sakamoto Ryoma spoke, he pointed to the countries on the globe.
"And this...is our country."
Sakamoto Ryoma had a sullen face and moved his finger horizontally, pointing to a small dot as big as a "booger" hanging in the east.
"Chin, please see how small our country is compared to the big world."
