Chapter 284 Yoshida Songyin
Speaking of Yoshida Shoin, everyone may be unfamiliar with this name. After all, there were a large number of Japanese talents in the late Tokugawa period, and Yoshida Shoin did not seem to be that famous.

The Chinese are more familiar with the students of Yoshida Shoin. As the initiator of the idea of ​​founding the country and ending the shogunate, in the practice of overthrowing the shogunate rule, Yoshida Shoin knew that he could not shake the shogunate rule with his own weak strength.

Yoshida Shoin believed that in order to overthrow the rule of the shogunate, the wisdom of the Japanese people must first be developed, so he opened the Matsumura private school to give lectures.

At the Matsumura private school, Yoshida Shoin trained well-known students such as Kido Takayoshi, Saigo Takamori, Okubo Toshimichi, Ito Hirobumi, Yamagata Aritomo, Katsura, and Terauchi Masaki.

The two prime ministers of the Meiji government and more than [-] core officials all studied under Yoshida Shoin.These people are the backbone of the reform and restoration of the Meiji government.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yoshida Shoin is the godfather of modern Japan.

"Sir, see you, or not?"

Hu Jinchen asked Liang Yaodao.

"Jinchen, what's your impression of this person?" Liang Yao returned to the office and sat down.

"Just like ordinary Japanese samurai, he looks a little crazy, but not hysterical." Hu Jinchen scratched his head and said.

"I'm a bit stubborn. This guy said that if you don't want to see him, he will kneel at the gate of our barracks until he dies."

"Then let him kneel." Liang Yao said lightly.

"It seems that you are quite interested in this Japanese warrior." Deng Yan who was reading at the side put down the book in his hand and interjected.

"It's not a warrior, it's a ronin." Liang Yao corrected.

Yoshida Shoin had left the Choshu Domain at this time. In Japan, only samurai with feudal registration could be called samurai, and samurai without feudal registration could only be called ronin.

"I don't think there are so many studious people in the Wa country. If there are half as many studious people in the Qing country as in the Wa country, why is there still such a lifeless scene today?" Deng Yan said with emotion.

"The Qing Dynasty was the Qing Dynasty of the Manchus. The Manchus ruled a large country with a population of one million and [-] million people. Only when the people become more ignorant can their ruling foundation become stronger." Liang Yao said, "The Chinese wisdom opened the way. Day, is the time when the Qing Dynasty collapsed."

"If the Wa Kingdom is founded this time, and can learn the advanced technology of our United States, and learn it for a hundred years, it will not only threaten the Qing Dynasty, but with the wolfish ambition of the Wa Kingdom, it may become a strong enemy of the United States in the Pacific in the future.

Just now I re-read the English chapter of Universal Mirror. Japan and England have quite similarities. They are both island countries and both have the tradition of a false monarch.

Although this trip could force the shogunate to establish the country and gain temporary benefits, it also indirectly opened up the wisdom of the Japanese people. In the long run, it is unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse.

California is the bridgehead of the United States in the Pacific Ocean. Once the Japanese nation rises, we, California, will bear the brunt. "

Deng Yan expressed concern.

"On the surface, Japan's national conditions are somewhat similar to that of England, but Japan's core and national spirit are more similar to Prussia. If Japan wants to learn, Prussia's way is more suitable for them." Liang Yao said.

"Your worries are not unreasonable. England and Tsarist Russia are already eyeing Japan. Even if the United States does not come to open the door to Japan, the English and Russians will come.

Japan's local resources are relatively scarce, and England has already taken the lead, occupying a large number of fertile lands around the world to provide blood transfusions for the country.

As long as the root of Japan's rise can be cut off, Japan will never recover, let alone threaten California or the United States. "

"Cutting off the root of the Wa Kingdom?" Deng Yan was a little puzzled by this.

"Yes, use the Japanese to control the Japanese, control the lifeline of Japan's economy, and make Japan's economy dependent on the United States." Liang Yao nodded.

"It's just a long-term job. The Tokugawa shogunate is already a dead body. After the signing of the "U.S.-Japan Treaty of Goodwill", the shogunate's collapse is only a matter of time. After the signing, we must find a power that can replace the shogunate to rule Japan in the future. By supporting them, we can gain economic benefits in Japan for a long time."

"According to what you see, who can replace the Tokugawa shogunate among the feudal clans of the Japanese archipelago?" Deng Yan asked curiously.

"Sa Chief Doi." Liang Yao said without hesitation, "Yoshida Shoin is a member of the Changzhou clan. Although he has left the clan, the lord of the Changzhou clan, Mori Jingqin, still appreciates him very much. Maybe he can be used."

"Why don't such insightful people take Liang Sen directly for their own use like they took over Liang Sen?" Deng Yan was puzzled.

"Didn't the minister already say that this person is crazy, I can use a lunatic, but I can't subdue a lunatic." Liang Yao said.

A lunatic who pursues his ideal without hesitation is a very terrifying existence in any era.Yoshida Shoin is such a person.

From beginning to end, Yoshida Shoin put Japan's interests above any other interests, including personal interests, even personal life and death.

Just because of this point alone, it is impossible for Liang Yao to take Yoshida Shoin for his own use.

It is impossible to tie this mad dog, but it is possible to use this mad dog to bite people.

Just as Liang Yao stationed troops in Kanagawa, Perry visited Edo and met with Tokugawa Ikei.The capital city thousands of miles away.

After a long wait, Pan Shicheng, Pan Zhengwei, Wu Yuanhua and others, as well as the "American Mission to Qing Dynasty" were finally summoned.

"Walker, the American envoy, met with the Qing emperor, long live the Qing emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Hawke, who has been hanging out in the Zhongyi Club for a long time, is fairly proficient in Chinese.

Walker prostrated himself on the ground, loudly wishing the emperor of the Qing Dynasty a long life without bounds, making the young Emperor Xianfeng very happy.

"I've heard that the barbarians in the Western countries don't know etiquette. Today, it seems that the Western countries are not all ignorant of etiquette. The envoy of the United States is quite polite.

Where is this American country?I have heard that there are countries of England, France, and Raksha in the West, but this is the first time I have heard of the United States. Has the United States paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty before? "

"My lord, the United States of America is the largest country in the Americas, facing the Qing Dynasty thousands of miles across the ocean. Its territory is very large, only inferior to England and Rakshasa." Pan Shicheng reported to Xianfenghui.

"The United States has always heard of the great grace of our emperor, the great Qing Dynasty spread all over the world, and admired our Qing Dynasty, so they sent envoys to pay tribute. This is the first time that the United States has come to Beijing to pay tribute."

Emperor Xianfeng was even happier when he heard that the United States was a big country and not a little-known small country, and that it was the first time it had paid tribute.

This is the first time that a major Western country has come to the Qing Dynasty to pay tribute since he was in power.

"Your Majesty, the last time foreigners paid tribute to our Qing Dynasty was during the reign of Lord Qianlong. Your Majesty had just ascended the throne not long ago. This is an auspicious sign. The day of the rejuvenation of our Qing Dynasty is just around the corner!"

Pan Zhengwei pressed the crown on his head to make the fake braids on his head more stable, and immediately sent praises of praise.
