Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 774 Surveillance of Japanese people (four more)
"Tanaka-san, why is the Chinese military leader unwilling to let Dongying become a province? Our Dongying has a population of more than 1000 million, which is larger than their largest province. Why is it not eligible to become a province?"

A group of Dongying people who temporarily settled in the Nanjing City Inn were pondering Chu Yun's attitude, and Chu Yun's refusal made them feel unbelievable.

Tanaka Chengyi, the leader, took a sip of tea and said to the crowd: "We have traveled thousands of miles to Nanjing, why don't you try the good tea and delicacies here? This kind of tea needs to be measured in taels of silver in Dongying. But here, you only need to pay a few tea money to drink as you like, it is simply a paradise on earth, and Edo is far worse than here.”

"Well—I heard that Nanjing City is the most prosperous city other than the capital city, and Edo City is no match for this place." Another Dongying person agreed.

"Tanaka-san, in order to make Japan as prosperous as here in the future, what can you do to get the Kyushu army to help our Huaxia Society defeat the shogunate and establish a provincial system?" The people of the Huaxia Society are all headed by Tanaka Chengichi.

Tanaka Chengyi is very satisfied with his current position.He was just a poor farmer's son in Dongying, and he was crushed by the warrior class. Because of the Kyushu Army's persecution, he had the opportunity to enter the Tokyo Academy and became the president of the Huaxia Club.This further strengthened Tanaka Chengyi's idea of ​​imitating the Kyushu Army.

"The Chinese people's distrust of us stems from the fact that our ancestors repeatedly invaded their Northeast, and they almost never took the initiative to invade us. They probably fear that we will be white-eyed wolves." Tanaka Chengyi seems to be quite self-aware.

"There is no way. We are on the island, so we can't be compared with Huaxia, which has a vast land and abundant resources. They occupy the best farms and pastures, so they should look down on our wild land." Several other Dongying people from the Huaxia Association nodded one after another.

They are all somewhat aware of Huaxia's doubts about accepting them into the Greater Kyushu system. This doubt comes from several conflicts in history.

"We have no way to prove our loyalty verbally, and everything can only be decided by the great military leader. So gentlemen, we don't have to worry too much. There is an old saying in the Han people that 'management depends on man and success depends on heaven', If God favors us in Dongying, we in Dongying will definitely be able to integrate into this circle, and we have come into contact with Han culture hundreds of years earlier than the Southeast Asian countries." Tanaka Chengyi comforted everyone.

"Tanaka-san, you should know that our situation in Edo Castle is very unfavorable. Dozens of high-level officials in our Huaxia will be imprisoned by the shogunate, and the hope of reform is getting slimmer. If this continues, our Huaxia Association will be forced to disband. "A member of the Huaxia Club said worriedly.

"The shogunate is really a disaster for us in Japan, we must find a way to overthrow them!" said a group of members.

"The rebels and the shogunate have been at war for several years, and hundreds of thousands of civilians have lost their lives. The Shimadzu family in the rebel army has been in contact with the Kyushu Army for a long time. After the Kyushu Army supported the shogunate, they secretly contacted the Kyushu Army Get in touch, and want to form a new regime with our Huaxia Society. I don’t know if the Kyushu Army will agree.”

"If the Kyushu Army agrees to the establishment of Dongying Province, wouldn't you be a civil affairs officer? Can we people become magistrates or county magistrates?"

The members of the Huaxia Society discussed the future, and they all hoped to become high-ranking officials of the Eastern Province in the future.

Wei Long from the intelligence department at the next table heard their conversation and couldn't help but sneer: "These Dongying people think too much. Even if we really want to set up some provinces, we Chinese people must go to control various important institutions in the first place." , How could it be possible for these little brats to serve as civil affairs officials."

"My lord, we were ordered to monitor the attitude of these Dongying people. It seems that they admire our Chinese culture very much, and they have nothing to report." A person from the intelligence department said.

"Just report it truthfully. Master Aila has asked for a few days off, and our intelligence department has nothing important to do. Wouldn't it be nice to have a few days off?" Wei Long said.

They had just handled the "Assassination of Envoys Case" before, and the task of monitoring the members of the Dongying Huaxia Society this time was extremely easy in comparison.

"But a small team suddenly went to Nanyang to do business, did something happen?" one person asked.

"Don't talk about what you shouldn't say, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Our intelligence department is a single-line contact. Don't try to know other people's missions. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will be held accountable and you will be burned." Wei Long said.

"Yes, what happened to Lady Ella? She has never asked for leave before." The person from the intelligence department asked again.

"Didn't I tell you not to ask any more questions? You even dare to ask about the top commander of our intelligence department. I really don't know how you were recruited at that time." Wei Long couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Hey, this subordinate used to be a member of Jinyiwei, learned some skills from the old man, and passed the examination in an open and honest manner." The man said.

"Jin Yiwei! I heard that Jin Yiwei directly controls the guards and can arrest anyone, including the emperor's relatives. He can also interrogate people secretly, which is much better than our intelligence department." Another person from the intelligence department said.

"You don't understand. Jinyiwei was the glory of the former dynasty, but it will not work in the future. It has to act according to the face of the East Factory, and is criticized by officials who are self-respecting. It is not as good as our current intelligence department." A person from Jinyiwei Said, "Since I joined the intelligence department, I haven't seen any official dare to write a letter criticizing our intelligence department for being bad."

"The setting of the intelligence department was originally based on Jinyiwei, but half of the supervision power was divided to the supervision department. We must intervene in any major cases involving the safety of the country. It is completely untrustworthy to rely on the self-monitoring of those civil servants." Wei Long Said.

"My lord, you said that since the assassination incident, the Lord of the Army temporarily decided to stay in Nanjing City to recuperate for a period of time, and then Lord Aila asked for leave for a few days. Is there any connection?" Curious about the affairs of the department's top boss.

"Don't make wild guesses. To tell you the truth, Master Aila is in poor health, so don't worry about it. Try not to make mistakes during this period, so as not to report to the adults, and the adults will have to work hard." Wei Wei Long said, "Do you think that the intelligence department has such a status today? Who bought it? The person standing behind us is obviously Lord Aila, but in fact he is the military leader. If something happens to Lord Aila, the higher-ups will replace you." After losing one person, it may not be as easy as it is now."
