Wild North America 1846

on the street

The cavalry of the Royal Guard, wearing straight military uniforms, patrolled along the road in groups of two on tall horses. When they saw the disorderly arrangement of shops along the street, they would rein in the horses and ask the shopkeeper to correct them immediately in a gentle tone.

Normally, shopkeepers would immediately take back the haphazardly placed warehouses and signs, expressing apologetic thanks.

The cavalry will raise their hands to give a military salute, thank the merchants for their cooperation in management, and then continue to patrol.

The neat and wide streets are in order, carriages and pedestrians all drive on the right, and the green partitions in the middle of the streets are blooming with flowers, reflecting a very high level of urban management.

Prince Eihito Fushimi and Okubo Toshimichi roamed the streets, followed by a large group of attendants and samurai, which looked quite eye-catching.

They were the first group of Fusang people to go abroad after the "iron boat incident". They had already been to Europe, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain before, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in Richmond on the return journey, and then came to the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty.

The ever-changing development scene seen along the way shocked these two insightful elites from Fusang. They almost subverted the old worldview and deeply felt the strength of the European and American world.

Especially the Datang Kingdom, which rose rapidly in North America, its strong national power made the two Fusang people drool with envy.

Okubo Toshitsu, whose childhood name was Masasuke, was named Koto, and later changed his name to Toshitsu.Born in Satsuma (Kagoshima), Japan, into a samurai family.

Although this person is only 28 years old, he is the soul of the elite group who holds great power in the Satsuma domain. Satsuma domain and Changzhou domain are the most powerful of the 260 autonomous domains in the entire Fusang Islands. The "Respect the King and Fight the Barbarians" movement played an important role.

Early 1858
Okubo Toshimichi led 1000 vassal soldiers into Edo, heralding that the Satsuma vassal had entered the political center of Fuso and was about to launch a vigorous reform movement following Emperor Meiji.

Soon after entering Edo, Okubo Toshimichi traveled to Europe with Prince Fushimi Eihito, witnessed the strength and modernization process of the European and American world, and absorbed beneficial nutrients for domestic reform.

"Jiadong-kun, seeing all the magnificent buildings and the powerful steam industrial revolution in front of me, I feel an unparalleled blow. In comparison, Fusang seems to be still in the era of cold weapons, and the gap is so big that people Despair!" Fushimi said in a pessimistic tone.

The splendid Daming Palace and the towering Bell and Drum Tower in Longshouyuan, the high-spirited and confident spirit of the residents in Chang'an City, the long railway line across the entire North American continent from Richmond to Chang'an City for more than [-] kilometers. Cruising ironclad battleships, steam freighters as big as hills by the pier, the endless vast territory and densely packed herds of cattle and sheep...

All of these have strongly impacted Prince Fushimi Gong Rongren's old worldview, causing him deep fear and inferiority complex, admiration and envy for the powerful Datang Kingdom, and complex emotions. And together with great emotion.

Compared with His Royal Highness, Okubo Toshimichi has been studying the development history of the Tang Kingdom and all kinds of information available to him during this period of time, and has a more in-depth understanding of this powerful Chinese country that rose in North America.

He said slightly reassuringly;

"Your Highness, the Tang Kingdom is a new country developed by Chinese immigrants in North America in just 12 years. We have already seen its strength and advancement.

All of these are worthy of serious study and reference by the Fusang people. We should send a large number of overseas students and elites across the vast Pacific Ocean to learn from them.

believe in time
After the Fusang Kingdom has experienced the pains of reform, it will inevitably take on a new look, chasing and catching up with the footsteps of the Datang Kingdom.

It won't be long before the Fusang nation will rise in the East with a new attitude, and I am convinced of this. "

"Listening to Koto-kun talking about his ideals is really a relief." Fushimi Miya was not as optimistic as Okubo Toshimichi, and his tone was stinging.

"Your Highness, what the Chinese in the Tang Dynasty can do, I believe that the excellent Fusang people can do it, and they can do it better."

"Yosh, it's good to have confidence, but it's not so good to be arrogant."

"What do you mean by your highness?"

"Huh, I don't believe you didn't see it." Prince Fushimi snorted. As an elite member of the royal family, he has received extremely strict royal education since he was a child, and has read Chinese classics extensively. I use Chinese to recite poems in pairs, and I have a lot of experience in creating Japanese-style wandering sentences.

Therefore, Prince Fushimi had no obstacles in reading the classics and newspapers of the Han Dynasty. During the nearly 20-day train journey, he read a lot of books, which can be said to be half a master of the Tang Dynasty.

Prince Fushimi pointed at the wide and clean street in front of him and said;

"I really envy the good luck of the Chinese to occupy such a beautiful and vast North American land, and to achieve the great achievements of the Tang Kingdom today.

Objectively speaking, such success cannot be replicated.

After more than 10 years of large-scale mining, the gold resources of the American River are now increasingly exhausted, but nothing is better than nothing.

However, the American River has fulfilled the mission entrusted by history. In the early days of the establishment of the Tang Kingdom, it provided sufficient funds to allow the Chinese residents of this country to arm themselves and resist the three invasions from the powerful United States.

After surviving the crisis of life and death, the Tang Kingdom developed the world's largest Morenqi copper mine, developed the steel industry and military industry, and became increasingly prosperous.

The vast and rich land of North America has given Chinese immigrants the space to fully develop their ingenuity.

nowadays

The Datang Kingdom has grown into an important member of the international community, and its strength ranks among the international powers. It showed something worthy of wooing in the Crimean War in Europe, and gradually integrated into the mainstream society of Europe and the United States.

All of this cannot be replicated in Fusang Island, which is poor in resources and small in size. We have neither the world's largest copper mine nor the world's largest silver mine, nor the world's unique California oil field. Create hundreds of millions of rich resources.

Without money, how to develop and catch up?

Fusang country can't even provide 100 million yuan in finance, half of the country's population is in poverty, and they can't eat a rice ball every day. How can they arm the army?How to develop industry?

Seeing that there are many restaurants and restaurants on the prosperous streets of the Tang Kingdom, the wealthy residents here can eat meat and drink a lot, even the high-level people in the Fusang Kingdom dare not be so extravagant.

The North American continent is so rich in resources, so many that people are jealous and crazy, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is gold everywhere.

Tell me about all this, how does Fusang catch up? "

His words made Okubo Toshimichi's face heavy, and he was speechless for a long time.

A moment later
Okubo Toshimichi let out a long sigh, and said with a gloomy expression; "Your Highness, perhaps the great Fuso nation is predestined to trek through suffering, which is really painful and has to be faced.

Seeing the prosperity and vast territory of the Datang Kingdom, it makes people mad with envy, but they have to face the reality.

I admit that what His Highness said is very reasonable. The rise of the Tang Kingdom cannot be replicated. There is no other fertile land comparable to the North American continent left for us. The road ahead is full of thorns and bumps.

The future of Fusang Kingdom lies in the Korean Peninsula, in Manchuria, where the world is wide enough for the aspiring Yamato warriors to use their fists.

Imperative

The country must pursue reforms, break down the heavy fences of the 260 feudal lords, Ming Dynasty, and unify the Fusang Kingdom under the banner of His Majesty the Emperor.

Take a look at the prosperity and prosperity of the Great Tang Kingdom. With such a vast territory, everyone is united in one mind. No one dares to disrespect Wang Ling wherever he goes. This is the atmosphere that a great country should have!
"Yoxi, Mr. Jiadong is right. The Fusang people should really wake up, realize their shame and be brave."

"Then after you return, please take care of your highness and fully support the reform policy and the "obey the king and fight against the barbarians" movement! Only the Dahe nation can be self-reliant and have hope."

"Jiadong-jun doesn't mention this matter, I have to be proactive. The royal family is very grateful for Jiadong-jun's unremitting efforts. Naturally, I will fully cooperate and give help within my ability. Please rest assured!"

"Then please!"

The two bowed to each other in the street, and immediately attracted the attention of the two cavalry patrolling the street, and immediately rode over and shouted loudly, "Hey, what are you doing?"

At this time, the attendants and warriors following behind the big man suddenly exploded.

The attitude of the high-ranking cavalry is simply a humiliation to the master!
My uncle can bear it, but my aunt can't bear it.

It was too late and then soon, more than 10 Japanese samurai with Yuedai heads rushed over in small steps, forming a human wall between the cavalry and their masters, and shouted fiercely at the cavalry; "Bage, You must apologize to the master."

Saying that, Qi Qi unanimously pulled out his samurai sword.

see this scene
The faces of Okubo Toshimichi and Prince Fushimi changed suddenly. They knew something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted; "Don't be presumptuous, put away the knife quickly, this is in Datang..."

Too late
When the Japanese samurai drew their swords, two cavalrymen sitting high on the big horses had already put their hands on the gun pockets on the right front side of the saddle, and quickly drew their guns in their hands and fired.

"Clap clap clap..."

After a burst of violent gunshots, only a short three or four seconds later, the Fuso warriors who had lined up fiercely just now had all been knocked down by the Colt cavalry revolvers, and the blood holes opened on their bodies spurted blood. Splashed, brushed down a row.

after firing

The two cavalrymen rode their horses away from the group of Fusang people immediately, and pulled out the bursting spears in front of the saddle, pointed the black muzzles at them, and roared loudly as if they were facing an enemy;

"Don't move all the fuck, just raise your hands high and kneel on the ground, otherwise I will lift your celestial cover with one shot, and do everything as I say, kneel down for me!"

Prince Fushimi; "..."

Okubo Toshimichi; "..."

All Fusang attendants; "..."
