Chapter 579 All Japan Are Muqiang Dogs (Part [-], please subscribe)
The vast Pacific Ocean wants to be quiet.

Just when the New Year came in 1872, the Japanese mission aboard the American merchant ship "America" ​​finally arrived in San Francisco and began their journey to the United States.

On the day the group headed by the Minister of the Right, Iwakura, arrived in the United States, the shock they felt was not the strength or wealth of the United States, but Ming Dynasty!

The impact of the "Los Angeles Incident" when they arrived in the United States still affected the West, and even they, this group of Japanese, received preferential treatment after arriving in the United States.

After the gunfire, the discrimination against the yellow race disappeared!
At least it disappears on the surface. Sometimes, people are like this, they are all next to the word "bei". Only when they are beaten will they have memory!
After learning that Daming actually bombarded the United States just like the Americans bombarded Japan, Iwakura Tomomi and others couldn't help but said in a tone of admiration and envy.

"Oh, Daming is really the light of my demihumans!"

"To be able to bombard the barbarians, Daming really deserves to be the Kingdom of Heaven!"

The Americans are realistic, and the Japanese are more realistic. When envious of Da Ming's strength and strength, the awe of Da Ming in his words comes from the bottom of his heart.

Whether the Japanese are Muyang dogs or not is not certain, but any Japanese is a "Muqiang dog". The strength of Ming Dynasty is enough to make every one of them envious.

A few days later, after the mission arrived in Washington, the mission, which was full of confidence, received a slap in the face.Although the President of the United States expressed a warm welcome to their arrival, after the mission proposed to negotiate and revise the treaty, the other party refused to negotiate on the grounds that they did not have credentials and a letter of commission.

The Iwakura mission has two purposes for its investigation. One is to extend the "gift of engagement" to the contracting states and revise the unequal treaties; the other is to visit and study the advanced culture and systems of European and American countries, so as to prepare for Japan's reference for modernization.

After several discussions, the reason why the United States was chosen as the first stop was to restore national rights and interests through treaty amendments.But the refusal of the United States made the mission extremely frustrated.

"In the final analysis, we all think that all Western countries are civilized countries. Since the "Treaty of Commerce and Commerce" is about to expire, it is only natural to revise the treaty. I never thought that the Western countries keep saying that "public international law" is just a power. It’s just a fig leaf!”

As soon as Counselor Kido Takayoshi's voice fell, Okubo Toshimichi, the Minister of Finance, said.

"What is public international law? The so-called public international law is comparable to a few cannons. Americans can bombard Japan, but Japan can't do anything about it. Ming Dynasty bombarded America, and Americans can only let it bombard. America is weak!"

Ming dynasty……

Really awesome!

Niu Dao can actually shoot at the Americans, but what about the Americans?They could only stand helplessly being beaten, just like Japan was beaten back then.

"So if you want to revise the contract, you must have a rich country and a strong army!"

Ito Hirobumi, Daisuke of the Ministry of Industry, said.

"In today's world of tigers and wolves, what's the use of public international law? Gentlemen, go to Daming!"

Once again, Ito Hirobumi looked at them and said.

"Go to Daming, go and see how Daming has achieved today's strength with mere ten years!"

Faced with Ito Hirobumi's suggestion, everyone was lost in thought. When they were in Japan, they heard that Ming had become a powerful country and became a member of the great powers, able to sit on an equal footing with Western countries.But after arriving in the United States, I realized that Daming was actually strong enough to beat Mifa, Prussia, and Versailles.

Such a powerful and powerful country is definitely a model for Japan to follow!
"Since there is no hope of revising the unequal treaties, then I will... go to Daming! After all, it is also the purpose of my trip to visit and study the advanced culture and systems of European and American countries for reference in Japan's modernization. Since Daming is the present Powerful country, we should go there!"

Finally going to Daming!
Hearing this, Ito Hirobumi seemed a little excited.After all, long before he decided to send a mission, he hoped to make Daming the first stop of this trip. After all, in his opinion, compared with those Western countries, perhaps Daming is the country they are most worth learning from.

What does this revived Daming look like?
"Where do we go to Daming? From New York to Yingtian, or to other places?"

"Although Yingtian is the capital of Daming, the essence of Daming is between Linhai and Nanhua. Let's enter Daming from Linhai!"

……

This is Daming!
Finally, when they set foot on the land of Linhai, Obo Kulimichi, Ito Hirobumi and others suffered unprecedented shocks. Even Linhai is only a city with a population of 18, and Iwakura can be regarded as the leader of the Japanese mission. The delegates, however, remained in high spirits.

It seemed that everything in Linhai City was so exciting in their eyes. When they stood in front of the fifteen-storey "Pacific Insurance Company" building, they stared at the tall building with dumbfounded eyes, watching the elevator take the When people were sent to tall buildings, some people even had to kneel down directly.

Even Ito Hirobumi exclaimed, "This is an art that should be appreciated on your knees!", "It can be called the world's first building!"

Such compliments are definitely from the bottom of their hearts. They used to think that they would not be surprised by Daming if they had been to the United States, but just a Nanhua overturned all their understanding.

The exaggerated character of the Japanese caters to the tastes of the Chinese people. Who doesn’t like to hear good words? Even if foreigners praise themselves well, this group of “carrot heads” from Japan seems to have found “wealth” "Password" has become a model of knowledge and reason in the eyes of many people.

The local officials in charge of entertaining the missions, after hearing so many good things, were of course happy to show them the prosperity of the city and the industrial development.

"Fuhua Spinning Mill is the largest spinning mill on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, with 36 spindles..."

When he accompanied the delegation into the Fuhua Spinning Mill, Zhao Teng introduced the situation of the spinning mill to Zai Iwakura Toshi and others in standard Nanjing Mandarin.Although he is a naturalized citizen of Japanese descent, he still chooses to speak Mandarin even in front of his compatriots.

Without him, Zhao Teng has always been proud of being naturalized and naturalized in Ming Dynasty. Since he is from Ming Dynasty, it is natural for him to speak official language. Besides, he knows that these guys are all from noble families, so they must be able to speak official language.

"36 spindles! This is really the number one spinning mill in the world!"

The reason why Ito Hirobumi was so surprised is that in his plan, the textile industry with low technical requirements will be the first industry to break through in Japan. In his plan, it is the scale of "ten thousand blooms". , it was not until ten years later that Japan established the so-called "ten base spinning", that is, ten spinning mills that laid the foundation of Japan's textile industry, but the scale of these ten factories is all small and pitiful [-]-spindle spinning mills .

Although Ito's heart is high, but Japan's financial resources are not enough, so it can only set up small factories. How can it not be shocked to see such a big factory now?
After being shocked, Iwakura and others were full of expectations for the next visit.

Textile!

In the future, Japan will definitely develop this industry. After all, all the products sold in Japan are "Nanhua Yarn" and "Nanhua Cloth".

Maybe it was produced in this factory!

Yes, they really guessed right.In fact, as early as 1862, Nanhua took advantage of the "cotton crisis" caused by the Civil War to purchase a group of textile enterprises that had gone bankrupt due to no cotton to spin from the UK at a low price, thus laying the foundation for Nanhua's textile industry.

During the Civil War, Nanhua’s smuggling ships transported weapons and supplies to the south, and most of the cotton shipped from the south was spun and woven into cloth, and then exported to overseas countries. It took only a few years. It entered the markets of Eurasian countries.

Although the textile industry is by no means the leading industry in Ming Dynasty, it is also one of the industries that absorb the most workers.

Especially attracting a large number of female workers, for Daming, this is the most important.
