Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 161 Kobe Port

"Brother Chuanwen, this ship is so big." Xian'er couldn't help exclaiming, as the cargo was loaded, Zhu Chuanwen also brought Xian'er to the pier, and found the Lyudmila on which the cargo was escorted this time.

The 3000-ton merchant ship is still an old ship that has been used for more than 10 years. It still has a great impact on Zhu Chuanwen and Xianer. See here, it is indeed different.

I can't help but think of what Andre said, the "Dreadnought" class warship launched in the UK this year, the displacement tonnage is above 2 tons, and it is still a monster fully loaded with artillery. Sure enough, this is the best era for steam cannons.

"Yes, Xian'er, let's go, let's get on the boat." Zhu Chuanwen also agreed with Xian'er, and took Xian'er on board.

On the Lyudmila, following Zhu Chuanwen boarded the ship, the captain Mikhail came to greet him personally. This merchant ship belongs to the Far East Trading Company. Alexei had greeted the director of the trading company early on, explaining Zhu Chuanwen's intentions. The Far East Trading Company also paid attention to identity. After all, Zhu Chuanwen was behind Andrei, and behind this brigadier general was the entire Vasilyev family.

"Mr. Zhu! Your room is here!" Mikhail took Zhu Chuanwen to the best room of this cargo ship. window.

After thanking the captain, Zhu Chuanwen lived here. Xianer was packing up. Zhu Chuanwen sat at the desk, opened the book he had prepared a long time ago, glanced at the blue sea outside, and held the pen purchased in Vladivostok. write up.

This diary ah, do not write worth mentioning!
……

The Lyudmila drifted at sea for 15 days before finally arriving at Kobe Port. This is due to Gu Ansheng, who chose Kobe Port, and the merchant ship made a detour after passing through the Korean Strait.

So, when we arrived in Japan, it was already mid-November.

1906 was a year of peace, and the sea was considered calm. Zhu Chuanwen was on the merchant ship, holding soybeans to start soybean sprouts to alleviate the embarrassment of not being able to eat vegetables. It surprised the Russian captain Mikhail and asked for advice. It can be regarded as learning this skill.

In fact, along the way, Mikhail and Zhu Chuanwen got along very well. The employees of Hanyao Commercial Co., Ltd. also walked on the plywood after getting through the seasickness in the early stage. Facing the sea breeze, they lit a cigarette very leisurely.

Zhu Chuanwen took Xian'er and Gu Ansheng to play bamboo mahjong bought in Bingcheng. At first it was a three-player mahjong, but Mikhail was curious and joined in after learning it a few times, yelling "" Eighty thousand, three" is very funny.

The ship was about to land, and Mikhail went to his post.

"Boss, you will be surprised when you see this prosperous scene in Japan. It is more vigorous than the construction of our ice city. But let's not mention the emperor's name!" Gu Ansheng said to Zhu Chuanwen.

Gu Ansheng knew that Zhu Chuanwen looked down on the Japanese in his heart, and he could tell from his usual conversations.But you have to get vaccinated with him. In Bingcheng, or even Vladivostok, you can scold Cixi and Kangxi.But when you come to Japan, you can't disrespect the emperor.

The Emperor Meiji is very popular in Japan, and because of him, Japan has gradually embarked on the road of prosperity.

"Can't you even mention it?" Zhu Chuanwen said.

"It's better not to, him, you know." Gu Ansheng pointed to the Russian version of "Anna Karenina" that Zhu Chuanwen had on hand. Of course, this is not talking about the protagonist, but the author of the book. Russian writer, Leo Tolstoy.

Zhu Chuanwen nodded.

"When I talked with the Japanese, they were still angry with Leo Tostoy in their words." Gu Ansheng said that the Japanese invited him to dinner in Bingcheng, but they talked a lot, and they talked about everything when they were drunk. .

The reason is that during the Russo-Japanese War, this literary giant could not see the suffering caused by the war between the two countries. He wrote a letter to the Russian Tsar and the Japanese Emperor. It was mainly an issue of war and peace, but the Japanese After hearing the news, public opinion exploded.

Just because it started with "Repent!", which didn't even have a word of respect, made them feel that this literary giant had insulted their emperor.One can imagine how big the Japanese are.

"Okay, I got it. Lao Gu, tell me about the Meiji Restoration in Japan." Zhu Chuanwen was very interested to hear what Gu Ansheng had to say. How can the things in books and newspapers be more attractive?
Gu Ansheng was also happy to give Zhu Chuanwen popular science. In the room, Xian'er gently closed Zhu Chuanwen's incomprehensible diary with a smile on his lips, and listened to the two talking about Japan's Meiji Restoration.

The Meiji Restoration in Japan was a great social change from a feudal society to a capitalist society.

Change needs to pay the price of life, which has been confirmed in all countries.

Tan Sitong said: "Reforms in various countries are all formed by bloodshed. Today, China has never heard of anyone who shed blood because of reforms. This is the reason why this country is not prosperous. If there are, please start with your descendants."

As a country in the Confucian cultural circle, Japan also has a group of people who respond to Emperor Meiji.

Generally speaking, there are the top three heroes: Yoshida Shoin, Sakamoto Ryoma, and Takasugi Shinsaku; these three were basically executed at the beginning of the reform.

With the resistance of the former three masters, the foundation was laid so that the Meiji Restoration was successful. Politically, the Meiji government enforced the policy of "returning the copyright registration" and "abolishing the feudal domain and setting up counties", dividing Japan into 3 prefectures and 72 counties, and establishing a centralized system political system, and the emperor has unlimited powers.In terms of military affairs, reform the army organization, the army refers to the training of Germany, and the navy refers to the establishment of the British Navy; in terms of social culture, it advocates the study of Western social culture and habits, and translates Western works.

This led to the emergence of the last three heroes: Toshimichi Okubo, Takayoshi Kido, and Takamori Saigo.The three of them have made their own contributions in the above three aspects, bringing the small broken ship of Japan, which was knocked on the door by the Americans, into what it is now.

It can be said that after the Meiji Restoration, Japan has experienced more than 20 years of development, and its national strength has become stronger and stronger. It has abolished a series of unequal treaties signed with Western countries during the Shogunate era, regained national sovereignty, and finally entered modernization.

By the way, since Taiwan and the Penghu Islands are now Japanese under the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", Zhu Chuanwen still feels a little aggrieved when he mentions this matter, his mother's little Japan!
"Is it still Meiji now?" Zhu Chuanwen asked Gu Ansheng, why is it a bit uncomfortable to hear the history of the rise of other countries.

Gu Ansheng gently pressed down Zhu Chuanwen's raised middle finger. Although Lao Gu didn't know what it meant, he could clearly feel Zhu Chuanwen's displeasure.

Lao Gu pointed to his head again, "Boss, the Japanese are not very good here. If the samurai finds us talking about their emperor, it will be very troublesome."

"Okay, then I won't mention it. You said that you still want to pay homage to your family when you come to Kobe?" Zhu Chuanwen asked curiously. He heard Lao Gu mention before that his uncle seemed to be buried in Kobe. Of course, it was also because of this, Gu Ansheng also said that he has some connections in Japan and can sell the soybeans of Hanyao Trading Company, so he came to Kobe.

"My uncle died in Japan and was buried in Kobe." Gu Ansheng said.His uncle is Hu Zhang, whose name is Tiemei. Founder of Su Bao.

"That family didn't think about moving the grave?" Zhu Chuanwen asked puzzledly. For these, Zhu Chuanwen respected them. Every year even in Bingcheng, Zhu Kaishan would bring his three sons to sacrifice to the ancestors in Qilu.

"Hey, I can't be the master either." Gu Ansheng said, indeed, his nephew is considered an outsider of the Su family, "But when we get off the boat, we can look for the Black Dragon Club in Kobe."
