Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Long live the Prime Minister!

When Xiao Letian returned to the Ryukyu, there would naturally be a grand welcoming ceremony, especially for the Ryukyu Kingdom's King Shang Tai. The Shang Family had been bullied by Japan for two hundred years, and now that the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu had gone to Japan with her troops, it could be considered revenge for her ancestors.

Another group of people became even happier, and that was the merchants of Ryukyu. The establishment of the Fusang Bank had proven that Japan had opened its doors to the public, and this super financial group, which had gathered all the shares of Japan's powerful and famous banks, naturally had an advantage in investing in Japan.

It might be difficult for outsiders to open mines in Japan, but the investment district of Fusang Bank was definitely open to outsiders because they had a stake in the bank, which was of vital interest to them.

Xiao Letian's curve ball is getting better and better. He will always be able to smoothly find a way to break through the enemy's defense line, and won't fight with you head on. Instead, he will carefully pry open your defense line and drag you into the water.

Europeans didn't understand the politics of the East, they believed in contracts more than human governance. However, Xiao Letian understood that in this Asian continent, contracts were nothing more than fart.

Although Xiao Letian could not get used to this either, but this was what was happening in the world. It was also not something that could be changed in a day and a night.

Europeans did not understand the unspoken rules of the inter-Asian relationship, so they had to rely on their strong ships and guns to forcefully advance their business. On the surface, it seemed like one force was enough to kill ten people, but in reality, there would be endless troubles at the end.

This sort of business that was driven by violence was destined to stimulate the strong feelings of disgust and rejection of the common people. The longer this emotion was accumulated, the stronger the final rebound would be.

The two most obvious examples were Japan and China. Through the Minzhiweixin, Japan had caught up with the last train of Second Industrial Revolution, and quickly accumulated military strength. Through a round of A Xiang and a war between Japan and Russia, they had gained their own prestige, and used battleships and cannons to force the West to sign a contract with a more fair attitude.

That is to say, Japan is going to improve its strength and force the European powers to change the treaty to end inequality. This is the same as working together with two business families. In the beginning, I was just a small factory and I could only accept even more harsh conditions. However, as I get stronger and stronger, I naturally have the qualifications to negotiate with the strong.

China, on the other hand, has opted for an even more radical path: to replace rejuvenation with revolution and to break the treaty instead of negotiation. If the treaty is not equal, then just abolish it. If you think you are unconvinced, you can keep fighting until you can't hit it.

These were the two ways that the backward countries of Asia dealt with the inequality in the Western Powers. It could not be said who was right or wrong, it could only be said that in different historical stages, they each had their own choices.

Today, Xiao Letian used a completely different method than the Europeans and opened the door to the Japan. From this day onwards, there was an additional base and place for raw materials for the Ryukyu Business Circle to pour down to them. The merchants that were attached to the Letian Bank were already preparing themselves for battle.

The officials and merchants took out 120 thousand points of enthusiasm to organize this welcoming ceremony, not to mention the ordinary citizens.

They knew that under the authority of the Prime Minister, a civil war had been stopped. The war, which had killed hundreds of thousands of people, ended after only a few days of bloody battles with the Osaka City.

The achievement of saving hundreds of thousands of lives was simply too great. All the temples and shrines in the Japanese settlements began to pray for the prime minister, and the number of people on the pier to welcome them was simply too many to count.

When the Roman began to slowly enter the bay, all the cannons at the top of the mountain began to fire their cannons. With earth-shattering rumbling sounds, all the ships on the sea started to whistle, and all the sailors on the deck stood in a row to pay their respects to the Roman.

"Long live the Prime Minister! Long live the New Army! " The moment the Roman appeared, the whooshes on the dock were filled with shouts, but no one felt that it was a violation of the rules, and even Shang Tai shouted along with it.

"The Prime Minister protects our Ryukyu country, opens up territories and changes the destiny of our country … Could it be that such a person cannot live long enough! " With the support of Shang Tai, the sound of his thunderous roar became even louder.

Only Zai Chun who was from the capital and the other guards and eunuchs had pale faces and awkward expressions. Zai Chun said in a low voice: "Such a grand welcoming ceremony, even we of the Da Qing Empire won't be able to see it!"

Eunuch Da Sixi curled his lips and said: "Why would Your Majesty say that? We know very well what's good for us, if we were to say who can compare to us … Have you forgotten the Grand Commission when you ascended the throne? "The scale and splendor of this place is truly impressive …"

"There are also the celebratory colourful paintings of Master Kang Xi and the Qiandong in the palace … "Your servant has seen that even the elephants of the nation of Annan could be seen. There were all kinds of flags that blotted out the sky and blotted out the sun. Furthermore, the guards and generals were all wearing their armor."

"Look at this bunch of smelly commoners, all they know is to shout and jump around randomly. There's no order at all, no procedures at all, it's a mess …"

Zai Chun heard the eunuch's sour words, but he did not say anything. His mouth was full of bitterness, even though he was young, his education as an emperor showed him many things that others could not see.

"Chaos? Order? That's right, the ceremony celebrations in the Forbidden City are indeed grand and orderly, but everything was rehearsed well in advance. It's like an act, where not a single step can go wrong … "

"Those people were shouting 'long live', but what were they thinking in their hearts? Only God knows … But in the Ryukyu, during such a chaotic welcoming ceremony, I actually saw the hearts of tens of thousands of citizens … "

"They're cheering, jumping, crying... They truly supported their Master! "In truth, I didn't spend a single cent on this welcoming ceremony. However, the feeling of shock is unimaginable …"

Zai Chun sighed: "Those rituals in the Beijing, from the inside to the outside, all had the icy cold smell of corpses, just like old zombies crawling out from tombs …"

Fortunately, the battleship had already touched the jetty, and 100,000 firecrackers were set off on the wharf. There were more than 100 firecrackers hanging on the wharf, and after igniting, it was like a rainstorm.

No single explosion could be heard, and everyone's ears were filled with the sound of rushing water. Xiao Letian walked down the battleship amidst the tide of firecrackers and the thunderous roar.

At that moment, he knew that no matter how hard he tried, Cao Cao's reputation would not escape him. He was destined to follow him for life.
