Chapter 663 Rangers attack (fourth update, please subscribe)
A country cannot be without a king for a day, but the position of the emperor of Japan has been suspended for a full month and a half.

Finally, on March 1874, 3, Prince Kawamiya Okinochi inherited the throne of the Emperor and changed the name to "Xinghua". Emperor of Japan.

After succeeding to the throne, Hegong issued an order in the name of Emperor Xinghua, requiring those former feudal lords who left Tokyo to return to Tokyo immediately. At the same time, he issued an order requiring Xixiang to disband the army, and to restore the old court system to the gentry. Naturally, the request was rejected.Of course, in order to comfort the gentry, she said that the court would seriously consider some of their suggestions, especially the livelihood of the low-level gentry.

Faced with the emperor's will, although many gentry expressed their welcome, most of the gentry still did not believe in the emperor. After all, Emperor Meiji had almost ruined his little credit. , The general served his life. They violated the tradition a few years ago and decided to work for the emperor. What happened to them?
It was the emperor and the court who betrayed them!Now that they have betrayed them once, they will definitely betray them again in the future. Therefore, most of the gentry do not believe the emperor's so-called promise at all.

Who knows if the court will betray them again in the future?So they are more willing to trust their former lord than this court that betrayed integrity.

For hundreds of years at least, lords have never betrayed their samurai, and samurai have never betrayed their lord.

At about the same time, Tokugawa Maocheng raised an anti-banner in Wakayama County to "repel barbarians and eradicate traitors". What the Zumu faction played was "throw out the barbarians, eliminate traitors, and restore the kingly way". What kind of barbarians are they throwing away?I don’t know if it’s a barbarian, but it must be the restoration of the ministers. As for the restoration of the royal way, of course the status of the old gentry will be restored. Compared with the emperor’s promise, it’s better to fight directly to get back the lost rights. more convincing.

The flames of the Japanese Civil War burned from Kyushu to Honshu. The brave warriors, full of anger against the reform government, repelled the government troops dominated by farmers time and time again.

After all, cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents!
In the face of these gentry rebels who want to avenge their "father killing", the government army is not their opponent at all, and more importantly...someone is fighting.Some arms dealers provided weapons to the rebels. Needless to say, the arms dealers must be from Ryukyu.

Uh, no, it's from the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty is also changing its clothes. At this time, the Qing Dynasty, with the replacement of the 71-type rifle with excellent performance on the Heavenly Kingdom, the seven-ring Spencer gun that once carried the beam was quickly eliminated, and some "unlawful profiteers" Colluded with Qing officials to sell a large number of second-hand seven-ring Spencer guns to Japan and sold them to the anti-government rebels.

1874 was an ominous year for Japan. From Kyushu to Honshu, the raging flames of war dragged this country, which just wanted to "seek knowledge from the world", into the cloud of civil war.

While the civil war was engulfing Japan, in the ports of Nagasaki, Hiroshima and other places, many Japanese female laborers left Japan by boat every day, and even more women left Japan amidst the flames of war.

For Daming, this is a good thing. After all, Daming needs these women. The only thing that is shocking is that the labor force exported by Japan has dropped sharply. After finding a job, the wanderers naturally don't need to go overseas.

In general, the impact of this war on the world is the same, that is, it affects the supply of Japanese laborers in Ming Dynasty, but the number of female workers has increased rapidly.Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise, how can we know it is not a blessing.

The civil war in Japan will not have much impact on the world. After all, Japan in this era is... not worth mentioning to the world.

In September, when the Japanese civil war was intensifying, an iron-hulled steam ship sailed into Takayumon, and after entering Takayumon, it arrived in Haizhou.

Standing on the top deck of the "Chengfeng", Zhang Wenjie looked at Yingyou Mountain in the distance. The Yingyou Mountain in the sea was desolate. Then he picked up a cigarette, lit it, took a sip, and said to himself road.

"Hope everything goes well!"

As a police officer, Zhang Wenjie never thought that he would return to Tangshan one day. His hometown is in Shandong, north of Haizhou. If he wants to, he can even go back to his hometown this time. What can he see?

There are no people in my hometown anymore, at most I just go back to my hometown to burn paper.

However, this time he came to Tangshan, not to show off when he came back home, but to arrest some opium merchants who exported opium to Ming Dynasty.

Selling opium in Daming requires beheading, but it is a "legal business" here in Tangshan, and they came here this time to arrest several "legal businessmen" in Daming and accept legal sanctions from Daming.

A few months ago, the National Police Headquarters established the "Anti-Drug Special Forces". According to the authorization of the Ministry of Justice, they have the right to arrest criminal suspects who export drugs to Ming Dynasty in any country or colony in the world.

The rangers are elites selected from various police stations, and Zhang Wenjie is among them. This time they came to Tangshan for this reason.

"We're going to Tangshan. After completing the task, if you need to go back to your hometown, I can give you a one-month vacation."

Li Chengliang looked at the players and smiled.

"But you need to take care of the travel expenses to go home!"

In this regard, everyone naturally burst into laughter, and the empty deck was full of their laughter.

As in the past, the "Chengfeng" immigration ship was empty, with less than [-] passengers. Although nearly a million people leave Tangshan every year, very few return to Tangshan.

After all, not everyone can afford the travel expenses, and many of them did not even return to this land until they died.

Tangshan...

No one knows when this appellation became popular, but compared to "Great Qing" or "China", people in Daming prefer to call this ancestral land "Tangshan".After all, to a certain extent, Ming did not recognize Qing.

With the sound of the whistle, the ship sailed into Haizhou Port. Because the tonnage of "Chengfeng" was too large, tens of thousands of tons, Zhang Wenjie and his party could only go ashore by taking a transfer barge.

Different from Ming Dynasty, as passengers, they neither need to go through customs inspection nor submit proofs such as visas, and even the pistols in their suitcases are legally carried, according to the promulgation of the Qing Dynasty Foreigners can bring two pistols into the country, and if they go deep into the mainland, they can double them. Of course, no one cares about the laws of the Qing Dynasty at all.

Although they are not required to go through customs, they still need to go through customs channels when disembarking from the pier.

"Are you from Nanhua?"

The customs officer in a suit but with braids looked at these Nanhua people. According to the unwritten rules, no matter what the occasion, "Da Ming" should not be called "Da Ming", but "Nan Hua".It seems that as far as the Qing Dynasty is concerned, as long as they don't say "Da Ming", "Da Ming" will not exist.

"Yes, we are from Daming."

Zhang Wenjie's answer made the customs officer look at him thoughtfully, and then he passed the customs silently.

When they walked out of the pier, several carriages were waiting for them there early. A young man with a card in his hand saw "Shengji Company" written on the card and Li Chengliang walked over.

"Hi, I'm Shengji Li Chengliang."

The young man put away the sign and said.

"Welcome to Haizhou...Westerners call this a paradise for adventurers!"
