Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1004 Adaptation of Huaxia Club

In the Yokohama Concession, Tanaka Chengyi arrived here secretly, and met Shi Daxuan who stayed here.When he was assassinated by the shogunate before, it was Shi Daxuan who provided him with protection, and the relationship between the two was fairly close.

"Seiichi Tanaka, news has been sent from the military. The reason for the increase in food prices in Edo Castle this time is that the shogunate is collecting food in private. They plan to launch a larger-scale war. We even suspect that the shogunate is trying to completely defeat the allied forces that fell. And preparing for a decisive battle. The battle site is the front line of Osaka Castle." Shi Daxuan pointed to the location of Osaka Castle on the map.

"When I heard the news of rising rice prices, I made some guesses. It seems that I have a good idea." Tanaka Chengichi was not surprised.

People with discerning eyes have already noticed the breath of war.

There are several reasons for the sharp rise in rice prices, such as wars, natural disasters, and the joint manipulation of rice prices by grain merchants.

"General Zheng is leading the Beiyang Fleet and is trapped in the quagmire of war in Koryo. The rebels in Koryo are not strong, but they haunt the countryside on a small scale, and it is an internal war in Koryo. Many methods cannot be used. It won’t come to Yokohama Port for a while. I think the shogunate wants to launch a unification war because of this.” Shi Daxuan asked Tanaka Chengyi to give him a seat.

Tanaka Chengyi is no longer the one who was hunted down by the shogunate. He has his own supporters, and Shi Daxuan has also begun to face up to the rise of the Huaxia Society.

The Huaxia Society is an organization supported by the Beiyang Fleet to create obstacles for the shogunate, and the Beiyang Fleet cannot imagine that Tanaka Chengyi will lead the Huaxia Society to develop to its current scale.The Huaxia Club has a higher value of use, and Shi Daxuan thinks more of Tanaka Chengyi.

Tanaka sat down unceremoniously: "The development of the fallen coalition forces has not been good these years. The military master will send other troops to participate in the battle of Osaka Castle? It is not a good thing for the shogunate to unify Japan. The samurai class will completely control the entire Japan. .”

"I don't know the plan of the military department, and it's hard to disclose it if I know it. Each of our organizations will receive its own orders, and we will faithfully follow Ren's orders." Shi Daxuan said, leaning on the back of his chair.

"Will every organization receive its own orders? That is to say, the military master is finally willing to recognize our Huaxia Association?" Tanaka Chengichi said with surprise in his tone.

The Huaxia Society has been established for several years, and has always wanted to become an official organization of the Kyushu Army, and even took the "Huaxia Society" as its initial name.But Chu Yun never agreed to make them a part of himself, but used the Huaxia Society as a tool.

It was only now that Chu Yun looked at them differently.

"Yes, the military master intends to accept you and send trainers to adapt your Huaxia Society. You will participate in an extremely great and confidential mission." Shi Daxuan said.

"Great and confidential mission!" Tanaka Chengichi seemed to realize something, stood up, "Finally going to attack the shogunate?!"

"Sit down now. If the military lord intends to do something, the shogunate will not last long." Shi Daxuan motioned Tanaka Chengyi to sit down. "It is very easy to defeat the shogunate by force. The point is that after the shogunate is defeated by force, how Realize the management of Dongying." Shi Daxuan posed a difficult problem.

Conquering the world is easy, but governing the world is difficult!The Mongols conquered a vast territory of more than 3000 million square kilometers, and as a result, they split into different Khanates within a few years.

"According to the original agreement with the military lord, if the Kyushu army uses force to overthrow the shogunate, then we Huaxia will come to power and will vote to decide the matter of merging into Huaxia. At that time, I will manipulate the voting site and will definitely not let the military lord down. Yes." Tanaka Chengyi said confidently.

"The problem is not so easy to solve. Even if you Huaxia will unify and merge matters, how will the people, samurai, and daimyo of Dongying choose? For the samurai and daimyo, we can deprive them of their property or even put them in jail, but how to let the people Accept this matter?" Shi Daxuan mentioned the difficulty of establishing the Dongying Province.

The two countries in this era are not so bitter and bitter, but the Dongying Kingdom is different from Annan, Toungoo, Siam and other countries. Their cohesion is stronger than that of the small countries in Southeast Asia.Moreover, Dongying Kingdom is second only to China in East Asia, and every time it invades the Koryo Peninsula, it easily defeats the second-ranked Koryo.Such a country has not encountered any changes, and it is difficult to be merged into other countries and downgraded to a province.

"This... is indeed a difficult task." Tanaka Chengichi couldn't deny it.

The proposal of Dongying Province was proposed by him on his own initiative, and he has been fighting for it.However, the Huaxia Society's sphere of influence is limited to the vicinity of Edo Castle, and cannot represent the will of the entire Dongpu.

"This is the tricky part of the problem. If it is not handled well, Japan will become like the current Koryo with constant rebellion, and our army will also fall into the swamp of war and cannot extricate itself." Shi Daxuan said.

"Is it possible that the military master wants to retreat? We in Dongpu have always respected Chinese culture. Even if the official characters are Chinese characters, it is definitely easier to accept culturally than those messy small countries in Nanyang. Even if Chinese is popularized throughout Dongpu. My lord, think about this matter again!" Tanaka Chengichi thought that Chu Yun didn't want to carry out this plan.

"The military master is trying to solve the problem, so I called you. The influence of our Kyushu army is limited to coastal ports such as Edo, Yokohama, Nagasaki, and Hirado, and has not penetrated into the island. Once you send troops to join your In civil war, there will definitely be a lot of resistance and rebellion. Our army needs to land in Japan as a righteous army."

"There are also post-war aftermath work that must be arranged in advance, and every step must be cautious. If there is a major situation, we may give up the plan to establish the Dongying Province... The cost of management is too high for us. The gains outweigh the losses." Shi Daxuan said.

Tanaka Chengyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.In order to maintain and develop the Huaxia Society, he put forward the specific goal of overthrowing the shogunate and joining the Huaxia Society based on the establishment of "Great Harmony". If Chu Yun vetoed it, then he would not be able to face the members of the Huaxia Society.

"It seems that the military department has thoroughly considered the overall plan. I don't know what we Huaxia can do?" Tanaka Chengyi asked.

"This is an order from the military department to your Huaxia Society. After you have completed the reorganization, you will participate in the plan to overthrow the shogunate and jointly establish the Dongying Province with the allied forces that fell from the shogunate." Shi Daxuan handed over the order from the General Department to Tanaka Chengichi.

"Our Huaxia Society and the Fallen Allied Forces have jointly established a province, and the Fallen Allied Forces have already made a retreat?" Tanaka Chengyi was quite shocked.

He didn't expect that besides him, the Fallen Allied Forces would also agree to such a plan.

"When the Shimadzu family's envoys visited the military master in the capital last year, the Shimadzu family had already acquiesced in our proposal of annexation." Shi Daxuan revealed the content of the secret conversation between the two when Shimadzu Mitsuhisa visited Chu Yun.
