The Travelers of the Heavens

Japanese Kyoto

"This is the credentials of His Highness the Prince of our country. Please take a look at it." Qi Meng took out a folder from his briefcase and pushed it to Hirobumi Ito and Nohisa Kitashirakawa.

"Earl Ito is the prime minister of our country, so he should be invited first." Kitashirakawa Miyanohisa said after reading Ito Hirobumi. He was just here to listen.

"Okay." Ito Hirobumi took the folder, opened it and read it.

"This matter remains to be investigated," said Hirobumi Ito after reading it.

"Prime Minister Ito, if the matter is not investigated clearly, I will not come to your country to see you," Qi Meng said

"Your country brazenly invaded Taiwan, which had nothing to do with our country, but your soldiers killed our businessmen. This major and vicious crime made the people of our country, especially the businessmen, furious. They petitioned His Royal Highness the Prince of our country to severely punish the murderer."Qi Meng said

"So, where are our country’s expedition members now?"Ito Hirobumi asked

"To be honest, our country has sent troops to Taiwan and is tracking down the murderer. I am just here to inform you," Qi Meng said.

"What!"Ito Hirobumi was shocked.

Mutsu Munemitsu was shocked.

Kitashirakawa Palace Nokaku was shocked.

"Mr. Director, your country sent troops to Taiwan to fight our soldiers without declaring war. This is a very serious matter," Mutsu Munemitsu said.

"Your soldiers are arrogant and unreasonable. They killed our businessmen first. This matter must be handled properly. Otherwise, 200,000 troops will land in Taiwan. At that time, the situation will not be controllable by diplomats like me." Qi Meng threatened Ito Hirobumi and others.

Upon hearing this, Ito Hirobumi and several other Japanese people were really frightened. Now the standing troops of the Japanese country are only six or seven divisions. Even if all of this force is sent out, it will not be enough. Can't defeat 200,000 Kyushu soldiers

"Mr. Director, please be patient and let us discuss this matter," Ito Hirobumi said.

"Okay, but please hurry up, otherwise it will be too late," Qi Meng said

"Okay, you make arrangements." Ito Hirobumi responded, and then asked Mutsu Munemitsu to arrange for Qi Meng to rest at his hotel.

"Count Ito, what do you think of this matter?" After Qi Meng left, Kitashirakawa Palace Nojiu asked

"None of the Western powers are willing to be enemies of the Zhou Empire, so we should also aim at peace and never start a war easily," Ito Hirobumi said

"It seems that we must ask His Majesty Tianhuang to make a decision." Kitashirakawa Palace Nojiu said

"Yes, this matter is too big and we must not make any arbitrary decisions." Ito Hirobumi nodded.

The two left the Cabinet Building and took a carriage to the so-called Imperial Palace to meet Meiji.

"Your Majesty, Count Ito and Prince Nohisa of Kitashirakawa Palace are asking for an audience." The palace attendant came to the laboratory and found Meiji who was flipping test tubes, and said

"Let them wait in the main hall," Meiji ordered.

After taking off his white coat, Meiji straightened up his appearance and came to the main hall. At this time, Ito Hirobumi and Kitashirakawa Palace Nohisa had been waiting here for a long time.

""Your Majesty." When they saw Meiji coming, they bowed and said hello.

"Please take a seat," Meiji said, sitting down first.

""Yes." Hirobumi Ito and Nohisa Kitashirakawa took their seats one after another.

"You two came to see me, are you okay?"Meiji asked

"It's about a diplomatic incident." After Ito Hirobumi finished speaking, he stood up and handed over a folder.

The attendant took the folder and forwarded it to Meiji

"Um.. What! When did this happen!"After reading the document, Meiji was shocked.

The content that the Zhou Empire sent troops to Taiwan and was chasing the Japanese made Meiji feel that something was wrong. I'm afraid that the 3,600"exploration team members" are gone now

"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Great Zhou Empire has just arrived in Kyoto. She has protested to us on behalf of her empire and is preparing to send another 200,000 troops to Taiwan." Ito Hirobumi answered truthfully

"The expedition team must be withdrawn immediately, and good relations with the Zhou Empire must be established." Meiji gave the order without thinking.

"But Your Majesty, we"

"No but, immediately! Now!"

Kita Shirakawa Palace Nokaku was about to speak when he was interrupted by Meiji.

"Hi!"Ito Hirobumi and Kitashirakawa Palace Nojiu stood up and responded.

Why didn't the highest level of the Japanese think Qi Meng's words were a bluff? Because they had all heard about the two wars between Zhou and France. It was a fact that the Gauls were not allowed to enter the Pacific Ocean. Although in the early Meiji period He also learned from Gaul, but at that time the Gauls entered the Japanese country as people of M country on ships of M country. At that time, the new government of Meiji felt strange that the Gauls were suffering from some disease. It was only later that I know the reason, so now that Qi Meng said there are 200,000 troops, then there are really 200,000 troops, so the shabby Japanese people don’t believe it.

Ito Hirobumi then found Qi Meng and expressed the friendly attitude of the Japanese side. Qi Meng was also very He politely expressed that the two countries were not acquainted with each other and were willing to work for peace and friendship between the two countries, which meant"it's better for me to pretend than to fly". After initially settling the Japanese, Qi Meng informed Wang Qi through a sound transmission spell. , the latter used a telegram to order the Kyushu soldiers in Taiwan to release the captured Japanese soldiers.

At this point, the"1874 Japanese invasion of Taiwan incident" came to an end without the knowledge of the Qing Dynasty. Soon Wang Qi secretly received the Japanese envoys in Jinling, and He gave 6 million yen to the Japanese to express his sincerity in the friendship between the two countries and to provide compensation for the Japanese soldiers who were killed. He also said that as long as the Japanese were obedient in the future, the benefits would be great. It seems that Wang Yu, Wang Qi and his son are going to The Japanese were fattened up so that they could be used as cannon fodder to deal with the Western powers, so that they could kill each other. The so-called"businessmen of the Zhou Empire were killed by Japanese soldiers" in the whole incident was purely false and was an excuse for Wang Qi and Qi Meng to intimidate the Japanese. But having said that, this Wang Qi is really generous. What does six million yen mean to the Japanese country in the 19th century? That is nearly two years of naval military expenditures. The Japanese will expand their navy after the Meiji Restoration. This navy is a waste. In terms of money, the Japanese country can only allocate a maximum of 3.2 to 3.3 million yen in military expenses to the navy every year. This amount of money cannot even buy a"Yoshino". Otherwise, Meiji would not be able to donate 300,000 yen of its own internal funds every year. The Japanese yen will be used to buy warships for the navy.

After solving the Japanese issue, Wang Qi has no control over the attitude of the Qing court. At worst, he will ask his father for one or two corps to fight a war, and then he will take the opportunity to occupy the Qing Dynasty. It's not impossible.

What? You said that the Qing Kingdom on the Rooster Land has a vast territory and a large population. It is a dream to occupy it? Wang Yu and Wang Qi and his son said that it is only the Qing Kingdom. It is too simple to occupy it. I will have the opportunity to show you one in the future. The

Rooster Land, Jinling, An In the hall of De'an Hall of the East Protectorate, a British man was taking photos of Wang Qi and Li Xiaoman.

Wang Qi was wearing the uniform of a first-class four-star general of the Kyushu Army, and Li Xiaoman's neck was hanging next to him. Wearing a necklace made of diamond beads, a long-sleeved cheongsam with a black background and gold moiré pattern, and eight-centimeter black high-heeled shoes with red soles, she held Wang Qi's arm and smiled. A puff of smoke followed the camera lens. After they dispersed, the images of Wang Qi and Li Xiaoman remained on the bottom board. When the photos are developed, the British photographer will send them to them.

It is worth noting that Li Xiaoman also wore a pair of""Thin autumn pants". This item is worn by women in spring and summer. It is as thin as cicada wings and can also be used to modify the lines of the legs.

After the photographer left, another elegant British man came to De'an Hall

"Oh, Mr. Fisher, you came at the right time, I was looking for you." Wang Qi saw the person coming and greeted him immediately.

The full name of Mr. Fisher is John Fisher. This man is the future Britain.""Father of Dreadnoughts", he made great contributions to the development of Britain and the world's navies. But this has nothing to do with the Great Zhou Empire. In the future, he will be dishonest and"nuclearly level" you.

"What can I do for you, Prince?" said Fisher, who was less than forty years old.

"You guys talk, I’ll go back first." Li Xiaoman left

"Madam, please excuse me." Fisher greeted politely.

"Mr. Fisher, my warships have been used for decades, and the hulls and machines are no longer usable, so I want to buy some warships from your country to replace them. I wonder if Mr. Fisher can recommend me some good performance ones. warship," Wang Qi said

"You have found the right person, but I need to know your requirements for various tactical and technical performance of warships before I can recommend a suitable warship to you," Fisher said.
