Muromo Mitsuki, in the early days of the Meiji government, had experienced training in the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Later, he visited European and American countries, entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and served as ambassador to the United States. He had a good personal relationship with Hiromomi Ito, so after Hiromomi Ito served as Prime Minister for the second time, this gentleman became the Minister of Foreign Affairs. After the establishment of the Amahiro Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty Royal Navy patrolled the front line of Okujiri and the Tsugu Peninsula. Prime Minister Ito rejected the proposal of the Ministry of War to start the war and persuaded the military leader Prince Akihito Komatsu Miya to not act rashly for the time being. Instead, he sent Muromo Mitsuki to China and started Japan's diplomatic offensive.

Of course, it was said that it was an offensive, but Mr. Mu Ao Zongguang never showed any attitude of fighting. On the contrary, he was very humble. After paying homage to the Prime Minister's affairs office, he stayed honestly at the inn arranged for him by the General Administration Office. He did not go out of the gate and waited patiently for the reply from the General Administration Office.

Zaiying is a person who is soft but not hard. Mu Ao Zongguang's attitude made him feel embarrassed. Finally, after receiving my instructions, he met Mu Ao Zongguang as the Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs at the General Administration Office.

Zaiying expressed the purpose of the court to him, and to some extent comforted Mu Ao Zongguang. The Qing Dynasty did not want to be enemies with Japan. Although China-Japan relations have embarked on a path of confrontation in the past few years, in the long river of history, China-Japan relations have accounted for 70% to 80% of the time in the long river of history, and only 20% to 30% of the time were the time for confrontation between China and Japan. Therefore, the mainstream between China and Japan is friendship.

"As the sect leader of Japan in the past, Japan should also be able to understand the reality of the Qing Dynasty, as the sect leader of the Tianhai Kingdom, has been developing rapidly in recent years. We sincerely wish the Japanese people to be able to get better as soon as possible under the leadership of Emperor Meiji, with the efforts of Mr. Ito as prime minister. However, it is also necessary to explain to your ministers that the Qing Dynasty also had the same good wishes for the people of Tianhai. The sage king of the Qing Dynasty was very compassionate about the living conditions of the Tianhai people, so he sent some necessary daily necessities to the people of Tianhai. And I do not want anyone to add war in Tianhai. I hope your ministers understand this." Zai Ying laughed and scolded for his strengths, but he did not expect that he would be well organized when talking about such official articles. It seems that his growth has been quite good over the years.

The secretaries of both sides on the side nervously recorded that since this was a formal consultation, there were a large number of attendants on both sides, ready to start a verbal battle at any time.

Muro Otsuki was still humble and smiled slightly, "What the minister said seems to be wrong. The Hokkien Kingdom has been a sacred and inviolable territory of the Great Japanese Empire since ancient times, and the effective governance of the Great Japanese Empire can be traced back to the time of Emperor Shenwu. Your country now says that the Hokkien is a vassal of the Kingdom, and it seems that it is suspected of bullying Japan, and the Great Japanese Empire cannot accept it!"

"Hayi?" Zaiying started selling him again and asked with a dumbfounded look: "My colleagues, what is this gentleman talking about? I don't understand very well. I hope you can teach me... No?? You don't know? Alas, you all do what you eat, you don't even know about the Eight No.... Oh, by the way, it seems that I don't know either... Haha. Mr. Luo, can you say it again?" The officials next to him naturally knew that this Beller was not really scolding him, and started to hip-hop together.

Poor Mu Ao Zongguang was fifty years old, and he made a young little hairy man look out of temper. His muscles trembled twice. He took a sip of tea and smiled and said, "Sorry, I can't explain clearly. The Ekima State is the Tianhai State that your country refers to. As I just said, the Ekima State is the Ekima State since ancient times, it has been my great Japanese empire god..."

"Slowly..." Zai Ying smiled and stretched out her hand, "Your minister drinks water...drinks water...", and raised her body to the chair and said, "I noticed that when you just talked about Tianhai and Ekima, there was a word called Country afterwards. I would like to ask: What is a country?"

It's easy to ask! Many ministers who originally looked down on Zai Ying and thought that he was the playboy who relied on his ancestor Yu Yin to the throne, couldn't help but secretly applaud Zai Ying in their hearts. It's really easy to ask. Since Japan recognizes Tianhai as a country, their negotiating position is not so stable.

"This...", Lu Ao Zongguang's face sank, as if he was about to get angry. Just as he was about to speak, Zai Ying leaned over with a smile and said, "This is Beijing, the emperor's feet, your ministers must not be arrogant. Two years ago, there was a rat minister who was in front of the general office of this minister, and his head was chopped up dozens of people." He smiled and said, "Speak well, speak well. Come and tell me, what is the country?"

"The country is a country." Old Li Hongzao, who returned to the General Administration's office to treat the matter, coughed lightly. After all, he was an orthodox old official and seemed to be dissatisfied with Zaiying's appearance. He interjected and helped Lu Ao Zongguang to a dead end, but the meaning in his words forced Lu Ao Zongguang into a dead end: "Since your minister also believes that Tianhai is a country, how can you say that Tianhai has been the territory of your country since ancient times?"

"Mr. Li! Lord. Beile!" Mu Osun Gum stood up solemnly and said, "Even if Hokkaido is a country, it is still the old vassal of my Great Japanese Empire. Naturally, it is because of my Great Japanese Empire that has territory. The Great Japanese Empire cannot accept your country's practice of splitting Japan."

Zaiying muttered a few words to Li Hongzao, and stood up and said, "I was once a vassal of your country and that is the inherent territory of your country? Is it?"

Lu Ao Zongguang was confused and nodded with a strong face. Zaiying laughed and gestured to him to sit down, nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, please sit down." After saying that, he sat down on his own and nodded to Li Hongzao.

"In 1784, a gold seal was unearthed from Shiga Island in Kyushu. I can't remember what the text on it is." Li Hongzao smiled at Zaiying and turned to Mu Ao Zong Mitsuki and said, "It seems to be the King of the Han dynasty?" Seeing Mu Ao Zong Mitsuki want to speak, he raised his hand and stopped and said, "In the late Han Dynasty in China, the three kingdoms were separated. I guess the noble ministers of this period must have known this period. The Queen of Ematai in your country seems to be the first in your country's trust history. The so-called Amaterasu and Emperor Shenwu seem to have many myths. The Queen of Ematai is also called Himihu and paid tribute to Wei, and was awarded the title of "King of Wei Wei"...", smiled and shook his head and said, "So can I say that Japan was once a vassal of my Qing Dynasty, and it is my inherent territory of my Qing Dynasty?"

Mu Ao Zongguang knew it was not good at the beginning, but Li Hongzao said everything was true and there was no way to refute it. The only thing he blamed was why he had to add a national character behind the Ekima at the beginning.

"So, the saying that the Tianhai Kingdom is the inherent territory of your country, and the Qing Dynasty could not accept it." Li Hongzao was a kind person. Seeing that Mu Ao was embarrassed for a long time, he said, "The Tianhai is the country that my emperor is friendly to, and the homeland of the concubine. The Tianhai is something that I must protect from the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty knows that it is a war or a harmony, which lies in Japan. The purpose of our Qing Dynasty, Minister Beile has already explained to you. This minister doesn't mind reiterating to your minister: the mainstream of the Qing Dynasty and Japan are friends.

OK, I don’t support Tianhai Kingdom to split your territory. In fact, there is still a part of Tianhai Kingdom’s territory in your hands. Tianhai is a small country. If you want to split your country’s Honshu Island, you may not be able to do it. Please rest assured. As for the day, day and day, the Qing Dynasty does not support it. Tianhai has nothing to do with Japan, and it is my vassal of the Qing Dynasty! Japan is the Honshu Island, Kyushu Island, and Shiguo Island. The Qing Dynasty does not support it, and does not recognize your illegal occupation of Tianhai Kingdom.”

Mu Ao Zongguang could bear it, so he stood up and bowed, "Sorry, everyone, I was wrong just now..."

"Ah... I was so tired of drinking the flower wine in Fanzi Hutong last night. Benbeile was a little sleepy, so let's go here." Zaiying stood up and stretched, and ordered left and right: "Let's go away today. I don't need to remember it just now. Benbeile is afraid that he will be targeted by some censor... Also, Minister Mu Ao's slip of the tongue is too ridiculous, so don't need to remember it." After saying that, he beat him up, bowed his hand everywhere and left.

Li Hongzao pretended to be regretful and spread his hands and said, "This little slutty prince is like this, then... he has to do it like this."

The Chinese and his group evacuated themselves, leaving behind a bunch of Japanese people looking at each other in the conference room.

That's right, the "Relations with Tianhai Law" was derived from the "Relations with Taiwan Law" in the future. This is a clever strategy, and I should borrow it. In this way, if you nail a nail in Japan, next year it will be the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. Let you do that first. Japan has a 220,000 troops, of which 20,000 are inexplicable. In order to prevent Tianhai Kingdom, at least 50,000 people will be involved, and there are still 150,000 left. Since I want to play, I will play with you slowly to see how long you can last. If you don't fight foreign wars, you probably will be about to kill yourself.

The diplomatic end is handed over to Zaiying and Li Hongzao, the old and young combination, and Wu Tingfang and others, and I can basically feel at ease. On the other end of the military end, the battleships ordered from Britain and Germany will basically be in place next year. With training, etc., the combat power will basically be formed in the year after that. At that time, the gap between China and Japan will be even widened. Therefore, if Japan wants to fight, it will only take action before this. Otherwise, Japan will wait for death. If you don’t take action, I will take action. I support Tianhai Kingdom, not just let him make a fuss in Hokkaido...

The new military system was also submitted by the military headquarters, and the above edict was issued to be implemented nationwide. At the same time, Liang Qichao was ordered to use this as a model to organize human resources to compile the "Qing Dynasty National Defense Law", which was scheduled to come into effect in the 22nd year of the Guangxu period. Previously, it was a period of slow implementation. The purpose was to establish a nationalized army and lay a stable military structure for future reforms. At the same time, strict restrictions were imposed on the conditions for soldiers to participate in politics. There will be turmoil in the future, but I do not want this turmoil to spread to the army.

At the same time, a new political party was established under my instruction - the New Confucian Party, with the first Minister of Education Kong Lingyi. The purpose of the New Confucian Party is "New Confucianism, New China". The goal is to eliminate some of the accumulated shortcomings of the old Confucianism so that Confucianism, a school with thousands of years of history, can adapt to the current new world trend. Under the long-term indoctrination of the "China Times", coupled with the invasion of foreign barbarians in the past few decades, basically many people know that this world is not the world of the Qing Dynasty, but many powerful countries.

If you don’t become self-reliant, you will be bullied. More than 400 million people are slowly awakening. Now this awakening is still going on long under my control, but I know that one day in the future, this awakening will exceed my control. Therefore, before this, I must be prepared - let Kong Lingyi form a New Confucian Party, which is also the purpose of this. In the future, there will inevitably be a pattern of blooming flowers in the ideological world. At the same time, various thoughts will each affect a group of people. The current measure is to let the Neo-Confucian doctrine take the lead so as not to be caught off guard.

The New Confucian Party’s party newspaper, "The World of Confucianism", has also begun to be published. It specializes in publishing some academic debate articles, which are much higher than the China Times and are more similar to a stage of ideological debate. Of course, the circulation of this official newspaper will not be large, and the audience is mainly high-level intellectuals.

These affairs are slowly moving forward. In short, the country is slowly deviating from the original historical trajectory and moving towards a new direction.

Debating history is the advice given to me by Liang Qichao. There are too many private goods in history books in history, and many compilers have despised character, such as Liu Ye and others. Therefore, reading history requires a historical view, and each writer has his own position. As the saying goes, history is written by people, so it is inevitable that people's subjective thoughts are in it. Those who read history should know how to distinguish, perhaps history has other possibilities.

In past history, it is also a science to summarize experiences and lessons.

"The Confucian World" first leads the discussion to the Tang Dynasty. The royal bloodline of Li Tang is a question that many people like to argue. The atmosphere of discussion in this regard is very good. Both sides have given many examples. Although their opinions are different, there is a consensus: to a certain extent, the Han people are not a nation of bloodline, but more of them are cultural distinctions.

The reason was that when I was studying at the history of the Tang Dynasty, Liang Qichao, who was accompanying him, sighed at the ethnic issue. I thought that there might indeed be disputes in this regard in the future, so I simply let him spread the issue and let people in the cultural circle debate first. Not to mention the bloodline of the Tang Dynasty rulers, even if he gained the country, he first used the Sui Kingdom to obtain the country in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then swept across the Jiangnan unification. Then in the Tang Dynasty, there were many things to dig in this regard. Moreover, there were many Hu generals in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had no disputes in this regard. It was later that things would have emerged, such as the famous general Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan with a knife in Ge Shuye, and Li Guangbi who revived the Tang Dynasty, and Li Keyong and Li Cunxu from the Later Tang Dynasty were not Han people. This fully demonstrated that the Tang Dynasty did not mind the bloodline of these people.

Of course, no one dared to involve the right and wrong of this dynasty, but at least some smart people know that there are considerations in this regard. This is a good thing. It is better to eliminate the problem when the situation is still in your own hands. It is better to use it for those who are interested in the future and cause the situation to get out of control.

Of course, my interest is not entirely in the ideological world. I am also paying attention to the progress of new technologies. Li Bingheng's logistics department presented me a memorial to purchase five airships to assist in transporting supplies to Vladivostok and Tian Haiguo. Nowadays, nothing on the earth can threaten the safety of airships. Forty tons of materials can be transported each time. Although the amount is a little small, both the land and sea routes have to send a large number of guarantee forces to accompany them to ensure safety, which consumes much more money than land and sea transportation.

Of course I agree that Zeppelin's products are naturally given priority to the Chinese military. Moreover, he is carrying out this huge plan. He hopes to design a giant airship model with a load of about 20 tons, a stagnant air time of more than one day, and a speed of more than one hundred kilometers per hour. In the future, it can be used as a boat for passenger routes, and the military can also be used for military purposes. The aviation bombs produced in Tianjin have been proven to be used for airship bombing, and the training ground in Zhangjiakou has fully proved this.

Supporting Mr. Zeppelin's huge concept was his good friend, the innovation of the engine technology of the young Coal Bach. In addition to being used by airship companies, the new engine of Maybach himself also placed the engine on a vehicle traveling on land. In the test in the suburbs of Beijing, this kind of car traveled more than 12 kilometers per hour on the roads of the test site. Because of the news from the United States, Mr. Maybach had the idea of ​​competing with Ford.

I asked him for his drawings and used my poor engine knowledge. The knowledge about piston movement I learned in high school physics now has only a vague impression, but I still gave him some inspiration. With my prompt, he made some minor improvements to the engine design, but the entry was still not big.

What is the reason? In my spare time, I was scraping my mind and thinking for him. Suddenly one day he sent the car into the palace and I discovered the problem. It turned out that his car was made of wooden wheels.

So I quickly asked someone to use rubber from Thailand to make a rubber cover on the wheel, which was indeed much better. I also bought the inflatable inner liner from the UK, made some improvements to the car, and at the same time I made some imitation of the inflatable inner liner. The engineers hired from the UK were also helping my initial rubber industry.

Later, the car's speed exceeded 20 kilometers per hour.

In short, I don’t want to do much and have the ability to make comprehensive innovations in technology. I am not a perfect person who knows everything and is proficient in everything. I can only provide a little help in some limited aspects. These helps may only allow these experts to find a solution to the problem earlier.

This year was the 19th year of the Guangxu period, 1893 AD, the year before the Sino-Japanese War of 1895. My country seemed to be thriving, developing steadily and vigorously.
