New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Gao Shanjun, do you think we can learn more advanced cultural knowledge this time?"

After standing on the bow and looking at the small fishing boats and patrol boats, Wu Daiyouhou felt more and more that it was a mistake to travel across the ocean and come to the Eastern Empire in America.

"I don't know if I can learn knowledge, but I hope it will be better than Zhi-Na."

Takasugi Shinsaku also followed Godai Yuhou's eyes and looked at the small patrol boats.

A patrol boat of this size could not be used as a warship. Even as a fishing boat in the Japanese country, it was considered unacceptable because it could not carry many sea fish.

This three-masted sailing ship was a British merchant ship named 'Amistei No. 1' purchased by the Japanese nation in Nagasaki in March 1854. It was now renamed 'Chitose Maru'.

Before coming to the Xinming Empire, they had already arrived at the magical capital of the Puppet Qing Dynasty and visited there for a period of time.

When they went there, these Japanese people still called the Puppet Qing Dynasty the Tang Dynasty, thinking that the Puppet Qing Dynasty was "a dignified and upright country since Yao and Shun".

But after returning home, he lamented, "It can be seen that the decline of Zhi-Na is the end of the country's sluggishness." From then on, he kept talking about "Zhi-Na".

They saw foreigners running rampant on the streets in the magical capital of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, and even the officials of the Puppet Qing Dynasty only accompanied them carefully.

I also saw more than 1,700 opium dens in the Demonic City of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, foreign soldiers guarding the city gates, numerous brothels and more than 100,000 prostitutes.

The image of the Tang Dynasty in their hearts suddenly collapsed, which made them see the weakness of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty and the eagerness for reform.

Although the Japanese state and the pseudo-Qing Dynasty were both closed-door to each other at that time, the Japanese state was more knowledgeable than the pseudo-Qing state in obtaining international information.

Because they had a storytelling system, which meant that Dutch merchant ships entering the port of Nagasaki had to report overseas situations in writing to the Nagasaki magistrate, allowing the shogunate to grasp world trends in a timely manner.

And at the time of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty...

And because Li Mingqi occupied the west coast and made an expedition to Peru, merchant ships also brought the latest overseas news when traveling between the west coast and the Far East.

Therefore, this time the Japanese three-masted sailing ship "Chitose" set off for the Puppet Qing Dynasty half a year earlier than in history.

After coming out of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, he plunged into the Pacific Ocean and sailed to another oriental country far overseas.

"Looking at these small warships, you can see that this fake Ming Dynasty is not a big country. Our Japanese navy can easily crush these small ships!"

Godai Tomohiro looked at those patrol boats with disdain on his face. He felt that this voyage was a waste of time.

This Oriental country that is touted by merchant ships is a complete joke.

"Don't say that. Look at those hypocritical soldiers. At least the clothes of these soldiers are much better than those of China."

Takasugi Shinsaku had sharp eyes, and he saw details that Tomohou Godai had not noticed.

But this small detail cannot change their first impression of the Xinming Empire.

Even the former overlords of the East have degenerated into the back gardens and colonies of foreigners. They do not think that this small overseas country is any better than Zhi-Na.

After watching it for a while, Godai Youhou lost interest in continuing to observe. He just waited for the Chitose to dock in the port and stay for a few days before leaving.

They still have more important things to do back in Japan. The changes in Japan are much more important than staying in this small oriental country.

Returning to the cabin, Godai Youhou saw the servant waiting at the cabin door, with a cruel smile on his face.

"Hey, come here." He waved to the servant in blunt Chinese.

But the Chinese kid, who looked to be less than fifteen years old, started to tremble unconsciously after hearing his words.

The servants who served this Japanese man had been changed six times on the road, and the first five servants were brutally persecuted to death by the dwarf in front of him.

The eyes of those people are still preserved in the dwarf's room, placed in small porcelain bottles and soaked in strong wine.

"Come here quickly!" Godai Youhou's voice became impatient.

He had a morbid desire to torture these servants.

They grew up listening to stories about the Tang Dynasty, and as upper class people, they had to learn Chinese characters.

Now the impression of the Tang Dynasty in their hearts has been shattered, so the admiration they had before is now distorted.

There were a total of 51 Japanese passengers on board, including 8 officials and 10 feudal officials.

The rest are businessmen, translators, doctors, cooks, servants, etc.

When it left the Puppet Qing Dynasty, the ship carried more than a hundred Chinese servants, but when it sailed to the port of San Francisco, there were only three Chinese servants left on the ship.

The remaining Chinese were either tortured to death, or they chose to jump into the sea because they could not bear the bullying of these Japanese people.

There were even two incidents where Chinese servants resisted and successfully killed three samurai and two sailors.

In the end, those Chinese servants who dared to resist were caught, and their limbs were brutally broken one by one and hung on the mast to feed seabirds.

Seeing that the servant was still acting submissive, Godai Youhou felt angry for no reason.

"Aren't you in heaven? Why is it like this now?"

He stepped forward and grabbed the servant's collar. There was some sorrow in Wudai Youhou's voice as he continued to roar:

"I have been learning some Chinese characters since I was a child, and I have been listening to your stories one by one. Now you all have your heads hanging down several feet, which is really hilarious!"

"What about your tradition? Why not change your hair to a rat tail?"

"Where is your integrity? Why do you allow foreigners to run amok?"

The servant was pulled by his pigtails and struggled painfully, but he did not dare to scream for fear of irritating the Japanese dwarf.

But he had to answer the other party's words, so he said with a cry: "I don't know, this is all passed down from our ancestors..."

"You lie! You liar!"

Godai Youhou threw the Chinese child to the ground with force, pulled out his short sword from his waist and walked over step by step.

By the time Shinsaku Takasugi heard the screams and rushed over to check, the Chinese child had already died.

And in Godai Youhou's hand, he still held a pair of bloody eyeballs.

"Can't you restrain yourself? Now we have reached the realm of hypocrisy. If you do this, we will all be put in danger!"

Takasugi Shinsaku fully understands the mood of Godai Tomohou in doing this, but now that we have arrived at the port of Pseudo-Mei, what should we do if something unexpected happens?

"So what? Do those remnants of hypocrisy still dare to attack us?"

Godai Youhou wiped his short sword nonchalantly and said with a sneer:

"Have you seen the national flag hanging on our ship? Don't say that those hypocritical remnants dare not do anything to us, there will probably be local officials coming out to wait on us soon, haha..."

Takasugi Shinsaku sighed and called his two followers over to clean up the mess here.

But at this moment, loud warning sounds in Chinese sounded outside the ship:

"Slow down the speed of the ship. You are about to enter the port area of ​​the Xinming Empire. Reduce the speed of the ship immediately, otherwise we will take compulsory measures!"
