Chapter 86: Meeting with Yang Qi

Honshu Island, Kyoto Castle, Horyuji Temple.

Qi Bin met Yang Yang in a neatly tidied room.

It turned out that this was the residence of the emperor.

But now there is no emperor in the whole Fuso. Qi Bin has already announced that the emperor's family will have no sacrifice.

Although several so-called emperors appeared later, as long as these people appeared, they would be executed for pretending to be the emperor.

Now Qi Bin is more like the Emperor of Fuso.

Dozens of vassal states, large and small, all had to accept his leadership.

In his hands, there is even a large area of ​​land under direct jurisdiction.

The Renaissance Army has a division stationed here all year round, and there is also a Fuso local army directly under the jurisdiction of the Duhufu.

In the north of Honshu Island, the royalist rebels have not been completely wiped out yet.

One or two vassal states disappear almost every year.

Those displaced Fusang people were all packed up by Qi Bin and sent to Jiahua, Donghua, Nanhua and other places, becoming an important source of labor at the bottom and becoming a member of the construction of the Chinese New World.

But this has actually improved the lives of Fuso people.

Those civilians can now eat rice shipped from Southeast Asia and buy cheap industrial products.

Rich people can even enjoy the rich fish catches sent by the North Sea.

The material life of Fuso people has never been so rich.

And the price they paid was not having an emperor, not having their own country, and becoming part of the Greater China Circle.

Qi Bin is very satisfied with this.

Apart from continuing to promote his own policy of "cutting down vassals" like boiling frogs in warm water, he actually has nothing else to do.

The administrative officials below will help him with all political affairs, big and small.

Qi Bin is very cautious in his official career, especially in such a sensitive position as the Protector of Fusang, and he himself is a Fusang person.

He never even went back to Satsuma.

Even so, people would still come to check on him regularly, and he would cooperate fully.

He is a very special being among the senior officials of the Renaissance Army and has almost no popularity.

Most of the officials in the Protectorate under Qi Bin were appointed from within the country.

If a Fuso local is employed in the Protectorate, he must go to the mainland for training.

He is like a loyal dog under Dong Shuheng, faithfully carrying out Dong Shuheng's intentions.

As the power of each vassal state is weakened, one day the Protectorate will be able to take charge of all four islands.

Now it is the land of three islands.

Because Northern Ezo Island has become a national reserve.

At the annual meeting just now, Dong Shuheng pushed for the formulation of a national reservation bill.

Designate some sparsely populated areas as national reservations.

Destruction of the flora and fauna within these reserves is not allowed, and no infrastructure or industrial construction is allowed, including, of course, no tree felling.

The population that originally lived there will also have to move out in large numbers.

Only a small number of Aboriginal people are retained as caretakers.

This is not a national park, because no national park has ever been so big.

The list of the first batch of reservations has been released.

It includes a large number of areas in the Far East and the Far North of the Renaissance Army. These areas are so large that any one area can be as large as a country.

Ezo Island was one of the first reservations.

For this reason, the Fuso people who originally lived there have to move away.

These people naturally joined the army of immigrants.

Some people who joined Donghua and Jiahua in the early days have already led a good life.

They informed their relatives in China about the improvement of their living conditions through telegrams and letters.

This has greatly increased the number of people in Fusang who are willing to immigrate or go out to work as laborers.

Naturally, those daimyo didn't want all the civilians under their command to run away. In that case, who would they be exploiting?

There are fewer people, and if you exploit the remaining people severely, they will not be willing to do it.

In this way, the situation of these famous people has fallen into a vicious cycle.

Some daimyo began to secretly prevent the people in their territory from flowing out.

But what awaits them will be severe punishment from the Protectorate.

Qi Bin had long been prepared to prevent them from doing this, and made an alliance with them when the Fuso Protectorate was established.

According to the agreement, such behavior will be punished.

At a lighter level, part of their vassal country's territory will be confiscated.

In more serious cases, this famous person may be deposed directly.

Qi Bin will not be lenient in dealing with these big names if he has good reasons.

Those Fuso people will also feel that these people deserve what they deserve.

Fusang people are like this, fearing power and having a sense of obedience.

Now except for those major events involving vassal countries.

Qi Bin usually doesn't ask about other things.

He spent more time on learning.

Qi Bin likes to study Yangming's philosophy of mind. This is related to the popularity of psychology in Fusang, and it also has something to do with Qi Bin's own personality.

Because he studies the mind, he likes to go to temples and practice meditation with the monks.

Recently, a local eminent monk came to Horyuji Temple, and Qi Bin became a regular visitor here.

Because it was remote and quiet, he chose to meet Yang Yang here.

Yang Yang met Qi Bin for the first time.

Qi Bin looked like a terminally ill person. He was very thin, but his eyes were very energetic.

It seemed as if all his energy and energy were concentrated on these eyes.

Yang Yang has heard some stories about Qi Bin before.

This man was originally the lord of the Satsuma Domain, and he took the lead in learning from Westerners and carrying out reforms in his own domain.

Factories were built, schools were established, internal systems were reformed, and many fruitful things were done.

But in the end, they had a bad relationship with the Renaissance Army because of the Ryukyu incident.

After being defeated by the Renaissance Army, he himself was captured by the Renaissance Army.

In the end, I don’t know why he became one of the president’s generals.

Dong Shuheng put him in the most important position from the beginning.

And he is also a local first-level official.

Moreover, Shimazu Qibin also changed his name to Qibin, taking Qi as his surname and Bin as his first name, and considered himself a Chinese.

It can be said that the Fuso Protectorate was built by him.

In a sense, the old saying is that he destroyed Fusang's country.

It is difficult for others to understand such people.

But Yang Yang knew that this man's words carried great weight in front of Dong Shuheng.

Yang Yang also knew that Dong Shuheng’s life secretary was his daughter.

Yang Yang was looking at Qi Bin, and Qi Bin also wanted to understand the Han man in front of him.

What Yang Yang did is not a secret within the Greater China Circle.

Although it was not publicized, no newspaper dared to report it without Dong Shuheng's authorization.

However, through the spread of some thoughtful people, it has already spread among high-level officials.

Qi Bin tried to think about how Dong Shuheng would view this matter.

He came to the conclusion that Dong Shuheng was not opposed to this matter.

First of all, he was able to confirm that Dong Shuheng knew about this matter.

Secondly, Dong Shuheng has the ability to prevent this matter, and it is not difficult to even make Yang Yang disappear directly.

In the end, Dong Shuheng did not do this, which means that he acquiesced, or that he wanted to see how the matter would develop.

"Mr. Yang, you are also a local scholar. I don't know what you think of Yangming's Xinxue." Qi Bin asked Yang Yang a big question before Yang Yang could talk about it.

This is a big question, and it may take several days and nights to finish it.

But Yang Yang must answer this question.

"Mr. Qi, this is a big question. I am not a major in mind science, but I have learned a little about Yangming Gong."

"I believe that the core of mind science is that 'mind is reason', and all principles actually exist in our own hearts. What we need is not to seek outside, but to seek within ourselves, that is, to seek within."

"Furthermore, it can be said that the meaning of life, the meaning of life, and even the meaning of the world are not given by the outside world, but are the meanings attached to ourselves by our own hearts."

Qi Bin looked at Yang Yang, his thin face expressionless.

In other words, this face is too thin to make any expression at all.

But his eyes clearly tell others what his emotions are?

"So Mr. Yang, what do you think about what you did before?"

Yang Yang knew that Qi Bin was going to get straight to the point.

"Mr. Qi, I know that you are the earliest advocate and practitioner of the Greater China Circle. Building a large-scale political union through One China and Zhuxia is like building a huge palace. At present, the mainland is the main

A few major countries are the pillars, and many small countries and regions are the bricks and mortar."

"Now this house is built, but it has no soul. If a house without a soul is placed there, it will soon decay and collapse."

"I think none of us want to see such a thing. My heart tells me that building a great Chinese circle that can affect the whole world and making our Chinese civilization the main civilization in the world is worth the struggle for each of us.

All our sons and daughters of the Chinese race have such an obligation."

"This is my true intention."

Qi Bin nodded, seeming to agree with Yang Yang's words.

"Mr. Yang just mentioned that this palace needs a soul, so what kind of existence is this soul?" Qi Bin asked.

"This soul is a role model for all people. With this soul around, everyone will consciously maintain the integrity of this palace. If there is a problem somewhere, this core soul can remind people in time."

"Who can be the role model in the hearts of all people?"

"Mr. Qi, since you study the mind, you should know that this is a principle, and it should be in your heart and in the hearts of everyone."

Talking to a smart person like Qi Bin made Yang Yang feel even more stressed.

Although he is a Fusang native, his grasp of Confucianism, which is the core of current Chinese culture, is better than his own.

But he finally expressed his thoughts.

For people like Qi Bin, he cannot explain his interests like he can when lobbying those big Nanyang Chinese families.

Rather, it is necessary to understand it with reason and understand it with righteousness.

Of course, it is difficult for people like Qi Bin to be convinced by others. The only one who can convince him is himself.

What Yang Yang has to do is not to convince Qi Bin, but to make Qi Bin appreciate his decision.

Yang Yang left, but Qi Bin fell into deep thought.

The Fuso people need a human god to lead them. This situation has been going on for thousands of years.

Now that there is no such god, he can feel that although the lives of those Fuso people are getting better and better, they seem to be less energetic than before, as if they have lost their souls and have no passion anymore.

Today, after listening to Yang Yang's words, he realized that this is not just a problem for Fusang people, but also for all Chinese.

Some maintain motivation and passion, such as those soldiers and officers of the Renaissance Army.

That's because they know who their human god is.

They already regard Him as God in their hearts.

Just like himself.

Qi Bin felt that he was going to die a long time ago, or that he had already died once.

But his now rotting skin is still holding on strongly.

That's because his heart is still hot and fiery.

He has always supported the day when the Great China Circle will dominate the world.

He must use his last bit of strength to work hard for this goal, even if it means burning his own bones.

He understood what Yang Yang meant, which was to make the president a god on earth. As a Fusang person, he could understand what kind of existence that was.

The entire Greater China Circle was planned by the president and led by him in its implementation.

It was also he who created the concept of Chinese ethnicity.

Let the Greater China Circle be more inclusive. Without this tolerance, there would be no Greater China Circle today.

He can indeed serve as a role model for everyone, at least for the entire nation. Such a scope seems too small. It should be said that he sincerely contributed to the entire civilization.

Of course, many people can give sincerely, but he pointed out the right path for everyone.

Not everyone can be a guide, and not everyone can do it well.

Dong Shuheng did it, and did it very well, so it is just right for him to go one step further and be the spiritual leader for everyone.

Thinking of this, Qi Bin picked up the writing brush on the desk and started writing a letter in small regular script on a piece of white paper.

As the Protector of the Great Protectorate and a first-level local official, Qi Bin can naturally write to Dong Shuheng directly.

As a loyal minister, even if you want to wear a yellow robe, you cannot do it against your master's wishes.

Qi Bin could not tolerate any taint in his loyalty to Dong Shuheng.

So he wanted to tell Dong Shuheng the matter and his thoughts exactly.

Dong Shuheng left the resort on Hainan Island and began to return to Xinjing.

I just boarded my own exclusive yacht.

Jiang Yuqin found him.

This time, Jiang Yuqin did not follow him to the beach, but stayed in Qiongzhou Mansion to deal with some urgent matters.

Every time he appears, there is always trouble, and it is really not suitable to go on vacation with him.

If there are really important things, it will be delivered by Miss Atsuki.

But these days, Miss Duji is having a lot of fun accompanying the president at the beach, because there is no trouble.

Jiang Yuqin held a folder in his hand. He adjusted his eyes, opened the folder and said, "President, the matter is about the negotiations between Vice Minister Wang and the people of Yu, so I must report it to you."

"What's going on? Are the negotiations blocked?" Dong Shuheng was sitting in a large office on the yacht, which was basically the same as his office in the summer palace.
