"Sir, that Robert Lee is from the Northern and Southern Federations, right? I heard that the United States and the Northern and Southern Federations were in disagreement. The people from the Yugoslave came to find our Ming Dynasty at this time. Could it be that the Yugoslave wanted to gain the support of our Ming Dynasty..."

"Don't guess more if you shouldn't know."

Chu Qi and his two men were walking in Edo Castle in casual clothes. He could have confirmed that Robert Lee came to secretly meet with Zhang Wenzheng as a matter of abolition of the United States.

The Ming Empire in this world seems to have a strong desire to expand outward. I wonder if it was influenced by Emperor Chongzhen, whose temperament changed drastically, or if a country will show a trend of expansion after being too strong.

Before the envoy was about to leave Edo Castle and return to the imperial city, Chu Qi and his group took this opportunity to check out the customs and customs in the vassal country.

The Oriental Shogunate has undergone great changes after the Ming Dynasty.

Chinese characters are commonly used here, not Katakana, and even private schools in Dongyang use Chinese.

Not only the vassal states of the Oriental Shogunate, Goryeo, Annan, Siam, and Touo are also commonly used in Chinese.

As an existence that is evenly matched the West, the Ming Empire created a civilization circle with its own strength.

However, the Ming Empire had only 40 years of influence on the East. Only middle and upper-class samurai and some wealthy East-schoolers were qualified to receive education and learn Chinese. Others were not qualified and could not even learn. Therefore, most civilians in Edo Castle only knew a few simple Chinese sentences.

Chu Qi already felt it was amazing. The Ming Empire in this world had an unimaginable influence on the surrounding vassal states.

"Baga, how dare you guys block our samurai master's way?"

While walking, Chu Qi and his group were scolded by passing warriors, which attracted the dissatisfaction of the three.

It turns out that samurai still enjoys privileges in Edo Castle. Any civilian who blocks the samurai sedan will be scolded or beaten by the samurai guards when they travel.

Originally, the clothing of the East originated from the Central Plains. Later, after the Ming Empire conquered the East, more and more warriors and civilians were dressed here in imitation of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, they looked similar, so it was difficult to distinguish them.

Chu Qi and the other two were wearing casual clothes and had a sword around their waists. The other party probably regarded Chu Qi and others as ronin.

Chu Qi said coldly: "Who are you warrior master?"

When he saw that the chief of the newly selected group was disliked, he would dare to beat him up directly. At this time, there were even warriors who dared to offend him?

Li Yanguang and Guo Yan rolled up their sleeves and planned to take action when the warrior wanted to cause trouble.

"Idiot, let your master get out and apologize!"

Before Chu Qi, Li Yanguang and Guo Yan took action, someone scolded the guards severely.

The Shogunate Army pursued the boat and Haikatsu, just passing by here, and saw that a shogunate warrior dared to trouble the Jinyiwei on the street. He was so tired of living.

He was worried that Chu Qi's dissatisfaction would affect the rest of the shogunate, so he quickly told him to stop him.

Inside the sedan chair was a Tokugawa family's flag book. He originally wanted the guards to teach the people who dared to offend the ceremonial war, but when he saw the army favoring the three people, he heard the Ming Dynasty's accent and quickly rolled out of the sedan chair and begged for mercy to Chu Qi and others.

Li Yanguang kicked him staggeringly, and the Tokugawa family's Hamamoto was not angry, and bowed his head and kowtowed.

These warriors are so humble that they often punch and kick the civilians who offend them, but when they meet the master of the Ming Dynasty, they bow their knees.

"A few of you have not been bothered? Also as shogunate, I feel ashamed of their behavior."

Although Zhou Haisheng became one of the top leaders of the shogunate, he respected the officials of the sect leader country very much.

It may also be that someone like him was chosen by the cabinet of the Ming Empire to serve as the army of the Oriental Shogunate, and in the future, he will nominally command 240,000 Oriental soldiers.

"It's not a problem." Seeing that Zhou Haisheng had given him enough face, Chu Qi couldn't continue to pursue the flag book, so he waved his hand to let the shogunate flag book leave.

"Ten years ago, led troops to fight under your father. At that time, my troops were only 500 Edo samurai, and almost half of the casualties. I almost couldn't come back in Nanyang."

Zhou Haisheng and Chu Qi and the others walked side by side. In fact, if the army pursued the position level, it should be above Chu Qi's thousand households. However, Zhou Haisheng respected the officials of the sect leader, so he simply walked side by side.

The First Eastern War broke out in the Southeast Asian War ten years ago. Chu Qi was only 11 years old and was not impressed. However, he gradually learned that the warriors sent by the Eastern Shogunate lost 50% of them. It was obvious that the Ming army allowed them to attract each other's firepower. This was probably the fate of the vassal state.

Zhou Haisheng said: "There were about 30,000 warriors going to war at that time, not including civil servants. As a result, 15,000 warriors were killed in the South China Sea and were sent back to the East China Sea, which caused an uproar. However, I think this is a price that must be paid, and I am happy to serve the Ming Empire. Only the Ming Empire can protect Eastern civilization from being destroyed."

“…”

Chu Qi was puzzled by Zhou Haisheng's complex emotions.

The top leaders of the Toyo Shogunate were not cold machines. On the contrary, they also knew that the Oriental soldiers often played the role of bait and cannon fodder on the battlefield, but they were still willing to serve as minions. This complex human nature was incomprehensible.

Chu Qi thought of the landlord's long-term workers, and the landlord gave them a bite of food or asked them to pay less land rent, and they would be satisfied.

The current Sumakoto Ichi and the Cabinet, the Army, the Navy, etc. are the long-term workers who helped the Ming Dynasty manage crops.

"After you return to the Imperial City of Ming Dynasty, please say hello to your father, Your Excellency Chu Xin, on my behalf. Ten years ago, I will be promoted to the shogunate army and will still lead 240,000 Eastern soldiers to obey orders at any time. We are willing to be the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers." Zhou Haisheng said to Chu Qi before leaving.

"Okay, I will definitely pass on the position."

When Chu Qi heard Zhou Haisheng talk about the First Battle of the East ten years ago, he was somewhat excited.

Since the contact between the Western powers and the Ming Empire, there has only been a large-scale war, but both sides are unwilling to accept it, and there will definitely be a Second World War.

Only few people know how strong the Ming Empire was in the steam era.

Guo Yan knew his information: "Zhou Haisheng, this man led a team of dead soldiers to attack the command post of Prince Myōkov, the Russian Empire of Tsarist Russia, and almost captured the prince of Tsarist Russia. After becoming famous in the battle, he was appreciated by our Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, and was promoted step by step to the shogunate army."
