Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

Chapter 71: The Gradual Spreading Influence (End)

After the Daqing Dynasty began to build the Beiyang Fleet, the first people to be stimulated were neither the 19 Westerners who showed off their power on Daqing's territory, nor were they targeted by Daqing.

The distance is not too far, Japan is deeply influenced by Chinese classical culture.

If the 19 countries invaded the East, the Daqing Dynasty was the biggest and richest piece of cake they ever "eat".

Then the decadent Japan under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Tokugawa family at that time could only be called a cherry on the cake.

Compared with the mainland country Daqing Dynasty, Japan is just an island country after all.

After ending the war against Daqing and gaining a lot of benefits, the Nineteen Western Allied Forces only separated a combined fleet of the United States of America and the Kingdom of the Netherlands as a partial division, and easily defeated the shogunate's sails at that time.

Offshore fleet.

This partial division brutally followed the coastline of the Japanese Islands and bombarded more than a dozen large cities along the Japanese coast with large-caliber naval guns, easily making the cowardly and fearful shogunate surrender.

However, unlike the Daqing Dynasty, due to the prevalence of warrior culture, the consequences of the failure of the shogunate as the leader of the samurai family were far more terrifying and serious than the defeat of the Daqing braided royal family.

After the samurai Tokugawa shogunate shamefully signed an unequal treaty after defeat, its regime only lasted less than a year before being defeated by a coalition of local overthrown feudal lords and middle- and lower-level samurai in the Japan Islands with the title of "big government return"

"Overturned in the name of.

At this point, the reform government, led by Emperor Meiji of Japan, began to take power.

The reform government abolished vassals and established counties to centralize power; it translated Obaro's works and improved the education system; it reformed the navy and army and established the Great Japanese Navy... In just a few years, Japan underwent earth-shaking changes.

.

In Tokyo, the capital of Japan, in a medium-sized wooden house not far from the Imperial Palace of Emperor Meiji.

"Xixiang-kun, have you seen the newspaper?"

Two extraordinary-looking Japanese men in kimonos sat opposite each other on the tatami, chatting about recent news from across the sea.

"Why didn't you look, Kido-kun?"

"The superior kingdom of China also began to build a navy."

"I heard that they are planning to purchase the latest steam ironclads from the Kingdom of St. George at once, and will no longer purchase sail warships."

The man known as Saigo-kun was tall and tall, with a samurai sword slung at his waist. He took a sip of tea from the tatami and continued.

"how?"

"Is the government worried that China's navy, the Beiyang Navy, will threaten Japan?"

He and Kido-kun, the thin Japanese man opposite him, were both important figures in the reform government and close comrades in arms who fell together.

"That's right, the Daqing Dynasty is very close to Japan. If we can build it into a powerful navy."

"It will definitely pose a threat to the safety of our Japanese Islands!"

Facing Saigo's inquiry, the man known as Kido nodded and said in a deep voice.

Kido's words made Saigo silent for a moment. He thought carefully for a moment before speaking.

"But we have no power to stop it!"

"The people of St. George need a lot of money from Daqing to build a navy to help them win the war with the Bansi Sultanate!"

"Moreover, our reforms have achieved considerable results in the past few years, but we are still far from the national strength of St. George. We can only continue to hide our capabilities and bide our time and wait for the world situation to change!"

Saigo's words in front of him made Kido nod in agreement, and the entire wooden house fell silent for a while.

They were all quietly thinking about Japan's future national destiny. After a while, Kido-kun spoke again.

"Xixiang-kun, what do you think of the Taiping Society?"

"I can't see through it, I can't see through it. The information that has been transmitted so far is too little."

The burly Japanese man shook his head and said to Kido opposite him.

"When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom stirred up trouble in the southeast of Daqing, the ideas of King Hong Tian were really too extreme."

"Even if that person is not addicted to faith, the concept of 'people who have fields to farm together, people who have food to eat together, people who have money to wear together, people who have money to work together' are unlikely to be supported by the majority of people."

"That is simply digging into the roots of those Daqing scholars."

There is a saying that "Those who are in authority are confused, but those who watch are clear." Xixiang Jun's words pointed out one of the important reasons for the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"But there are hundreds of millions of people in China, but there are only 3 million people in the Canadian colony."

"The son of the King of Heaven, who started his career as a 'railroad slave', can completely ignore the three million white people and go into battle lightly."

At present, the fact that America "purchased" white Canadians has not spread around the world, and Saigo-kun and others are not aware of it yet.

"Can you achieve that goal there?"

"Kido-kun, I really can't see through it!"

As Japanese people who have seen the world for several years, Mr. Xixiang and other senior officials of the reform government knew about the existence of "railway slaves".

Many American "Huang Slave" ships heading to Yinzhou would supply supplies at Japanese ports.

In the past few years, only three to four out of ten of these "yellow slave" ships have been able to reach the United States of America, and they all know it clearly.

It can be said that the power possessed by the Taiping Society, which was latent in the past few years, has actually been exposed to the tip of the iceberg in front of Japan. However, because it needs to keep a low profile for its development, Japan has not paid much attention to it and understand its inside story.

But now, the Taiping Society, which has regained such a powerful force, can it hinder the vast and sparsely populated Canadian region from realizing their original ambitions? Even these outstanding figures of the Japanese Restoration can't.

It is impossible to make an accurate judgment at all.

"Xixiang-kun, the reform government hopes to send a private caravan to Canada to find out what's going on."

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Kido-kun's tone was relaxed. Although the reform government did not know how powerful the Taiping Society was, judging from the news of St. George's gift of land, St. George must have suffered a loss this time, and suffered a big loss!

······

In the wooden house, two men with extraordinary status in Japan continued to discuss the affairs of the Taiping Association. They quickly decided on the personnel of the private business group.

Because the Taiping Society had not yet established a state, it was not suitable to send an official mission. Except for a very few middle-level and high-level members of this private business group, most of the members came from the lower-level warrior groups of Japan.

However, Kido and Saigo do not know now what kind of amazing and talented person this private business group, which they regard as just a spy to learn some news about the Taiping Society, will emerge in the future.

In this private business group with less than 50 people, the first pioneers of Japanese Taipingism emerged one after another in the future.

And with the efforts of these pioneers, Japan became the second Taipingist country in the world after the Taiping Society overthrew Daqing and formally established the first Taipingist Republic...
