Chapter 191 What? The Japanese are going to invade the United States? (Please subscribe, please vote)

"Kamiyama, who is this hero from your Zheng family? He looks very energetic!"

Zhuge Wei Dao first greeted a group of acquaintances, and then pointed to the big one-eyed man standing behind Zheng Guoxian with a smile. He took it for granted that this big guy was someone from the Zheng family, even if his surname was not Zheng, he might be.

The retainers of the Zheng family—among the eight major families in the Ming Dynasty today, the Zheng family is the most feudal family!

Because in addition to the Zheng family in the Ming Dynasty, there are also the Zheng family in Japan, the Zheng dynasty in Annan, and the Zheng dynasty in Siam. The latter two are proper feudal dynasties!

Therefore, it is normal for Zheng Guoxian to recommend Zhuge Weidao to Zhuge Weidao if he has any retainers of the Zheng family, and ask Zhuge Weidao to help him find an official position in the naval aviation force.

And this one-eyed dragon seems to be capable of fighting at first glance, and it should be no problem to arrange the airborne troops into the Ming Dynasty Naval Air Force.

"Oh, he is the leader of the warriors in the north, his name is Saigo Yoshibei!" Zheng Guoxian smiled and introduced Saigo Yoshihei Takasheng to Zhuge Weidao.

"Saigo? Saigo of Satsuma Domain?"

When Zhuge Weidao saw this big guy and heard his surname was Xixiang, he immediately knew who he was?

This guy must be Saigo Takamori’s father!

What does this mean? Come to take revenge on Zhuge?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao was about to grab a gun and call for help - Zhuge Weidao's family had guards, including the servants assigned to him by the Zhuge family, the female bodyguard and maid Ali, and the orderlies assigned to him by the aviation headquarters.

Yu Quan is also a bodyguard. Although these people may not be able to defeat Xixiang, they have guns!

Seeing Zhuge's nervous look for Dao, Zheng Guoxian immediately said: "Daozi, brother Daozi, please don't misunderstand me. Saigo-kun was indeed a retainer of Shimazu, but now he is the northern samurai of His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict."

The Shimazu family belongs to the enemy!"

Yes, the Shimazu family is the enemy!

That’s what the female emperor meant! If Saigo was a loyal minister of Shimazu, he should assassinate the emperor!

Thinking of this, he looked at Xixiang again and found that the other party was unarmed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Xixiang, I have offended you just now, I hope you can forgive me."

Xixiang also smiled and cupped his hands: "Commander Zhuge, although I was once a retainer of Shimazu, but now I have been subordinated to His Majesty the Emperor and have become a samurai in the north. Naturally, the Emperor's orders come from you.

How can I, a friend of His Majesty the Emperor, seek revenge on you for the sake of his old master who died for his crime?"

I see!

Zhuge Weidaoxin said: "This Saigo warrior is very flexible!"

After understanding how flexible Xixiang's Bushido was, Zhuge Weidao felt relieved. He quickly smiled and greeted everyone to take their seats, and asked Natalie and Daheikong, who had just taken his place to entertain the guests, to quickly prepare for dinner.

He smiled and asked Xixiang: "Mr. Xixiang, you have come all the way to Ming Dynasty. You must have some imperial errands to attend to, right?"

Xixiang's Chinese was not very good, so he looked back at Zheng Guoxian.

This Zheng Guoxian is now the military adviser to the Japanese emperor. During this time, he has been staying in Nijo Castle in Kyoto to accompany the emperor. The imperial palace is currently undergoing major renovations, so the emperor is temporarily staying in Nijo Castle of the shogun's family.

In addition to accompanying the king, Zheng Guoxian was also training and equipping the Northern Samurai for the Empress. He also bought many rifles, machine guns, and artillery from the Ming Dynasty, and trained the Northern Samurai into a modern army.

In addition, the size of the northern samurai has also expanded a lot, and the number has increased to 3,000! Many former Shimadzu ministers who became ronin have also been absorbed into the northern samurai. This caused a great headache for the Tokugawa family in Edo.

He also asked Zhuge Weidao for help through Daheikong.

Of course Zhuge Weidao would not help - the Tokugawa family is still powerful in Japan and the Imperial family is weak. Of course, the Ming Dynasty will give the Imperial family a hand.

Therefore, Zhuge Weidao could only write to Tokugawa Jiaqi to appease him.

However, it seems a bit inappropriate for Zheng Guoxian to bring Xixiang, a northern samurai, to visit today.

Zheng Guoxian smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. The Emperor Agustín I of Mexico sent someone to propose to Queen Shizuko of Japan that Japan could send some immigrant pioneer groups to cultivate land in the Texas Province of the Mexican Empire!

Mr. Kōkō is also aware of this matter, and he agrees with it. After all, unemployment in Japan is very serious, and many factories have been unable to open recently. There are also many farmers who have gone bankrupt! Although the Ezo development can absorb some people

, but it’s still a drop in the bucket!”

Oh, I see!

Zhuge Weidaoxin said: "Because Japan is going through the pain of economic transformation after opening up to China, and the unemployment rate is a bit high. Coupled with the ever-present surplus of samurai, I am thinking of invading the United States."

"So, does Emperor Shizuko know about the dispute between Mexico and the United States over the ownership of Texas?"

"I know!" Zheng Guoxian said, "Emperor Shizuko and Emperor Agustin are pen pals and have always exchanged letters."

Are the two emperors pen pals?

One male emperor and one female emperor.

Zhuge Weidao didn't know what to say anymore?

"However," Zheng Guoxian added, "Texas is the territory of the Mexican Empire. There is no dispute about this."

"But as more and more Americans come in," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "won't disputes arise? Xiaoqian, what do you think?"

Yu De and Yu Xiaoqian are still working as servants in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, doing a leisurely job, and he is also a famous writer - he has published a very best-selling novel about how the Japanese soldiers of the Jin Dynasty came to Peshawar to attack the British Indian soldiers.

, and at the same time, many people in the Ming Dynasty realized that Britain was nothing more than that. Recently, he was writing another reportage about the Battle of Kii Waterway, which was serialized in several major newspapers. It also made people feel that the Royal Navy of the British Empire was not at all.

The opponent of the Ming Navy.

Don’t underestimate these novels and reportages. Ming Dynasty is a country with a literacy rate very close to 100%, and there are no radio stations, let alone TV, so immersive texts are very effective in mobilizing and promoting propaganda.

means.

Now Zhuge Weidao transfers the Texas issue to Yu De. On the one hand, he wants to hear his opinion - he is now working in the American Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; on the other hand, he wants him to prepare for the next step of intervening in American affairs.

It’s blowing!

America is indeed far away, but Ming Dynasty has been an American country since ancient times!

"Daozi," Yu De said with a smile, "People in the Americas Department feel that the future of the United States is limitless and that Mexico is difficult to match. This is because the United States is now the first choice for European immigrants to enter the Americas! Therefore, the population of the United States is growing rapidly.

Fast, industrial and commercial development is also very rapid. In addition, our Consulate General in New York recently reported that a large oil field was discovered in western Pennsylvania, and the daily production may have exceeded 10,000 barrels!"

It’s the Pennsylvania oil field!

Zhuge Weidao thought in his mind: "The oil industry in the United States started in Pennsylvania. This oil field must be very large. It will be no problem to produce several million tons a year. However, the oil fields in Pennsylvania and nearby Ohio are the same as those in Texas."

Compared with oil fields, they are not worth mentioning.

We can’t let the United States get Texas, let alone the Pacific coast!”

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao asked: "Xixiang, Shenshan, you have come all the way, do you want to ask me for any help?"

"Michiko," Zheng Guoxian said with a smile, "Emperor Shizuko is going to invest a sum of money in the business of opening up Texas... He is planning to build a few ships, but the Caribbean is not very stable, and ordinary merchant ships are afraid that they can't go, so he wants to do it.

Several were armed.

Also, Daozi, I heard that you are going to lead a fleet to visit the Rakshasa Kingdom next summer?"

"Ah, that's what happened."

"Then can you take Emperor Shizuko's merchant ship along the way?"
