Chapter 1008 The Revolution of Japan

"How about Yamada Nobunaga?"

For Xiao Ming, the changes in the Japanese country are reasonable and unexpected.

In contemporary times, the Meiji Restoration took place immediately after the Japanese state was knocked on the door by Western naval guns. The difference now is that he knocked on the door of the Japanese state with a sharp gun.

And since ancient times, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the Japanese country always learned from the Central Plains Dynasty.

"Yamada Nobunaga is now exhausted. Several troops have been defeated by the rebels, including a team of 8,000 people equipped with flintlock guns. According to the lower officials, Yamada Nobunaga does not seem to be able to last for long. His defeat made The daimyo, the samurai, the merchants and the common people have turned their backs on him, and this is the status quo of the Japanese state." Wang Xuan said sternly.

"It's a real hassle."

Xiao Ming was a little worried. For him, this kind of change in the Japanese country was something he didn't want to see. He knew exactly what the Japanese country had done after the reform.

Wang Xuan sighed: "This matter is indeed very tricky. If Yamada Nobunaga is defeated, all the documents we signed with the Japanese country will be invalid, which will damage our interests in the Japanese country, but Yamada Nobunaga is already unable to help. When Adou got up, continuing to support him would be like giving the equipment to the rebels."

"How much do you know about the rebels?" Xiao Ming continued to ask.

At this time, Wang Xuan took out a document and put it on the table, and said: "This is the information collected by the secret guards. These rebels are very mixed, there are thirty-seven large and small, and three of them are the most influential. They are Yoshida Takayo, Takasugi Takashi, and Xigo Matsuki."

Xiao Ming flipped through the document, which contained the information of all the rebels. Among them, the three of them focused on it. "These three seem to be nobles of the Japanese country."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is said that they have been in and out of other daimyo's mansions many times, trying to win other daimyo's support for this rebellion."

Putting down the document, Xiao Ming frowned. To him, these three people were just little people. He had never heard of them, but history was often stirred up by some little people.

These rebels are not scary to him, what is scary is the ideas they promote. Even if he asks Ye Qingyun to help Yamada Nobunaga defeat the rebels, it will not be long before a successor will come back, and this will make him involved In the endless Japanese civil war.

This is just like the Western powers once helped the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, but the Qing Dynasty was still replaced by an effect.

But at least the initiative is still in his hands. It is up to him to learn what the Japanese country can learn, so he said: "It doesn't really matter whether Yamada Nobunaga can rule the Japanese country, I just need to ensure the interests of the Empire in the Japanese country. , you send people to contact the rebels in advance, if they accept the conditions of the "Surrender", we will not intervene in the civil war between them, if they do not accept, we will help Yamada Nobunaga train the army to destroy them!"

Wang Xuan nodded. Xiao Ming's thoughts coincided with him. The first thing they have to ensure is the interests of the Japanese country. It doesn't matter who rules, and now that Yamada Nobunaga is on the decline, they must prepare early.

At the same time, Yamada Nobunaga is nearly sixty years old, and I am afraid that he will not have much time to live. After his death, I am afraid that his power will soon fall apart.

"In addition to making preparations in advance, you have to investigate further. I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. No matter how bad Yamada Nobunaga is, he should not lose to the rebels like this. I am worried that this is a game set up by Yamada Nobunaga. Whoever we support will ultimately win the Japanese country." Xiao Ming pondered.

Wang Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "The emperor's meaning is that the rebellion is a bitter plan sung by Yamada Nobunaga and the Japanese country, and the purpose is to obtain benefits from us."

"There is this possibility, so let them continue to fight for a while." Xiao Ming said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will start an in-depth investigation when I go back." Wang Xuan responded and turned away.

Watching Wang Xuan leave, Xiao Ming took a sip from the teacup, closed his eyes and thought.

This Nanyang strategy has only just begun, but the Japanese country has given him such a move now, but he is not too worried, because no matter how the Japanese country changes its dynasty, he has the ability to destroy its ruler.

His military garrison in Japan was not just to protect his own merchants, but he would make it happen if the development of Japan showed signs of getting out of control.

...

In Nagasaki, Yamada Nobunaga was practicing chopping in the courtyard. At this time, a samurai came to the courtyard and bowed. He said, "Daimyo, Yoshida-kun is here."

Hearing this, Nobunaga Yamada stopped and said, "Let him in."

After the samurai left, a man in black with his whole body hidden in a cloak arrived in the courtyard. When he saw Nobunaga Yamada, the man in black bowed and said, "Daimyo Yamada."

Nobunaga Yamada nodded, and he said, "This time, the reason for you to take the risk here is for the next battle. We must not fail in planning this matter for so long. The Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom is an extremely shrewd person. It is very possible to suspect that we are playing a bitter game. I have news from my eyes that Wang Xuan, the commander of the secret guards of the Great Yu Kingdom, returned to the Great Yu Kingdom three days ago. He is likely to report the information here to the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom. Wei will definitely increase his investigation of us. In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, we have to resort to dangerous tactics. I am ready to die for the country. After returning this time, you will act according to the plan and complete our plan."

The man in black lifted the cloth covering his face, revealing a youthful face. This man was Yoshida Takayo, one of the three heroes of the rebel army. He suddenly knelt down in front of Yamada Nobunaga and said, "Daimyo Yamada, is there really no such thing as Is there a second way?"

Nobunaga Yamada nodded, "When I signed the Letter of Surrender, I knew that the Great Yu Kingdom wanted us to be slaves for all eternity, so I signed it in order to confuse the Great Yu Kingdom, for today's plan, Yoshida, you He is the person I value the most. Don't have the benevolence of women. If this move is successful, we will not only be able to unify the divided Japanese country, but also gain industrial capabilities from the Great Yu Kingdom. Even if we cannot fight against the Great Yu Kingdom, at least we can be like Just like the United Kingdom, it has its own colonies in the world, rather than forever being a colony of the Great Yu Kingdom.”

Yoshida nodded fiercely when he heard the words, and he said, "Daimyo, we won't let you down."

Yamada Nobunaga nodded. He was able to get to where he is now because of forbearance. He chose to kill the enemy at the most suitable time. Now he is still instructed by his philosophy of survival.

After talking to Yoshida again, Yoshida left under the protection of the samurai, and Yamada Nobunaga's eyes flashed fiercely.
