Expedition to Europe

Ninja is a special profession unique to Japan. Its main job is to conduct secret planning, sabotage, assassination, collect enemy front-line intelligence, disrupt enemy support bases and other espionage activities for the lord.

It seems that it is indeed similar to Lan Fang's special forces.

Of course, there are also differences. Although ninjas are also members of an organized and disciplined team, they are actually more accustomed to being alone. They are far inferior to special forces in "organization" and have much worse team awareness. In fact, they are more similar to the agents under Gao Hongshi.

Others don't know the details of ninjas, but Qin Haoge and Yang Kai are still very clear. If it was in the Warring States Period of Japan, the era when a hundred or so people could be called a "large army", individual martial arts masters who were proficient in fighting could indeed play a role in turning the tide, but in this era when a unit can easily have tens of thousands of people, it is indeed a delusion for ninjas to play the same role as before.

When Qin Zhiyuan mentioned ninjas, he was just curious. In fact, he didn't mean anything else. It's far from "fear", at most he was a little worried.

When it really came to the critical moment, Qin Zhiyuan still chose to trust his soldiers.

When he returned to the vicinity of his residence, it was obvious that the guard force had been strengthened. All the intersections were double-posted. Soldiers wearing four-color camouflage patrolled with military dogs from time to time on the road. All the street lights were turned on, and even military vehicles were pulled over and the headlights were turned on to increase the light source.

This was just seen on the surface. I believe there must be more secret guards. This level of guards, not to mention that not even a mosquito can fly in, at least it can ensure that those creatures like "ninjas" cannot penetrate.

So Qin Zhiyuan slept particularly well that night.

After dawn, according to the scheduled plan, the morning was to socialize with the Japanese royal family, and other activities would be arranged in the afternoon.

Qin Zhiyuan had no intention of changing the plan. He went to the Imperial Palace with Julie and Misha to increase the friendship between the Lanfang royal family and the Japanese royal family.

Uh, "royal family" versus "royal family", isn't it a bit unequal?

It doesn't matter. As far as the current situation between Lan Fang and Japan is concerned, no one would think that the Japanese royal family is superior to the Lan Fang royal family. Emperor, Emperor, can you turn from a human into a god by being called for hundreds of years?

The Imperial Palace has also strengthened its guards, and it can be seen that the Lan Fang First Division in Japan and the Royal First Brigade are responsible for security at the same time. The Lan Fang First Division in Japan is responsible for the outer defense, and the Royal First Brigade is responsible for the inner circle.

When Qin Zhiyuan, Julie, and Misha arrived, Emperor Taisho was waiting at the gate of the horse farm with a group of royal family members.

In order to cooperate with today's activities and to adapt to Qin Zhiyuan's dress style, Emperor Taisho wore a military-style hunter costume today. It's a pity that such clothes don't show a little bit of tallness and handsomeness on the petite and thin Emperor Taisho, but a little bit of wretchedness, which is really regrettable.

If the designer of the hunter costume saw such a buyer show, he would probably be ashamed and angry.

Qin Zhiyuan still wore his usual hunting style, a military-style half-length windbreaker, neat and simple overalls, and half-high boots. This combination is what the designer wanted.

So when Qin Zhiyuan shook hands with Emperor Taisho, the difference between the two was really big, almost to the point of being ridiculous.

But no one laughed at this occasion. Even Julie, who felt a little bit of laughter, shifted her gaze and focused on the Empress of Emperor Taisho, trying not to look at the somewhat funny Emperor Taisho.

Compared with last night, Taisho's complexion was not bad. It is estimated that the level of Japanese "imperial doctors" was not that bad. At least when he saw Qin Zhiyuan, Emperor Taisho knew to apologize for his behavior last night.

"I am really sorry that I did not bring you a pleasant night because of my impoliteness. I hope there is still a chance to make up for it." Emperor Taisho was humble, bowing and apologizing, with a sincere expression.

"That's nothing, it's just an accident, don't take it to heart, there will definitely be opportunities in the future." Qin Zhiyuan showed magnanimity and still offered polite concern: "But your health condition is indeed very worrying, so it's better to go to Europe for more complete treatment. Only with a healthy body can you live a better life. I believe no one understands this more deeply than you."

Hey, the royal family's upbringing is indeed good. At least after Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, no one around shouted "the cat cries the rat"!

"My body is already like this. The root of the disease that has been left for many years is probably not good." Emperor Taisho shook his head and smiled bitterly, a little self-deprecating.

In fact, when he was not sick, Emperor Taisho behaved well, at least there would be no obvious mistakes in his dealings with people.

Before Emperor Taisho ascended the throne, he was the only prince. The hopes of the royal family were placed on Emperor Taisho. The Japanese government and the public certainly had unlimited hopes for Emperor Taisho. Even if Emperor Taisho had poor health since childhood, the Japanese royal family would teach him carefully. People taught in this way would naturally not be too bad. They might be a little lacking in ability, a little arrogant in thought, and a little extreme in behavior, but they would still have no problem with etiquette.

Well, okay, the "a little" above is indeed a bit too much, and the problems accumulated together are still not small, but in the absence of choice, Emperor Taisho can only be generally accepted.

"Don't give up hope. No matter what the circumstances, the hope that has not been extinguished in our hearts is our only belief. Only with hope can we have the motivation to move forward and the confidence to overcome unknown difficulties." Qin Zhiyuan couldn't help but act as the life mentor of Emperor Taisho.

Compassion and sympathy for the weak have nothing to do with their own position.

Qin Zhiyuan can hate the Japanese, but when he sees the Japanese who need sympathy, Qin Zhiyuan is not stingy. In fact, this is the true glory of human nature.

Just like the medical staff in the 21st century who rescued those criminals who were destined to be sentenced to death, even if you will be physically destroyed in the end, you must stand in the judge's seat in good health first, and then die clearly. This is the right that "people" should have, and it has nothing to do with whether they have made mistakes.

"It's really better to listen to your words than to read ten years of books. Thank you very much!" Emperor Taisho looked thoughtful, bowed in a standard posture, and looked unprecedentedly solemn.

In fact, the words Qin Zhiyuan said must have been said to Taisho before, but only when these words came from Qin Zhiyuan's mouth could they have the deepest impact on Emperor Taisho.

There is no way. In East Asia, everyone's worship of "power" and "strength" is from the heart. The same words spoken by different people must have different power.

"Haha, okay, okay, the future will definitely be beautiful. As long as you keep your original intention and don't forget the original purpose, the future will definitely be bright." Qin Zhiyuan said this to Taisho and to himself.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan probably has the hope of seeing these "beauty" and "brightness", but Emperor Taisho will definitely not see them.

As he spoke, Qin Zhiyuan and his party had already stepped into the racecourse.

This is actually a corner of the Imperial Palace, surrounded by lush forests, and a large racecourse in the forest.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

The layout of the racecourse is similar to that of a stadium in later generations. There is a circular grass track on the outside, which is estimated to be about one thousand meters long. The grass on the ground is of moderate height, and it seems that someone has been taking care of it for a long time.

Everyone knows today's activities, so people's clothes are very suitable, and there is no need to change clothes. The group directly enters the racecourse.

There are soldiers wearing four-color camouflage guarding around the racecourse track. When Qin Zhiyuan entered the racecourse, he exchanged glances with Dong Zishi who was already in the racecourse.

Dong Zishi's eyes to Qin Zhiyuan were very affirmative, so Qin Zhiyuan was relieved. At least this meant that the Japanese did not tamper with the equipment of the racecourse, and the safety of the racecourse was guaranteed.

Knowing that the king and the emperor were coming to ride horses, the staff of the racecourse still prepared again. At the entrance of the racecourse, more than 20 horse trainers led more than 20 horses that looked quite majestic, waiting for Qin Zhiyuan and others to choose.

In fact, there is not much room for selection. What kind of people can ride what kind of horses is basically fixed. Qin Zhiyuan and his friends are not here for racing or anything, but just to relax and socialize, so they don't have high requirements for horses.

Qin Zhiyuan is actually not very keen on riding horses, but when he sees the big wet eyes of the horse, Qin Zhiyuan still likes it from the bottom of his heart.

The two horses closest to Qin Zhiyuan are one white and one black. The white one is snow-white, sacred and noble, and not stained with dust. The black one is black and shiny, proud and mysterious.

"What's its name?" Qin Zhiyuan still prefers black.

This is related to Qin Zhiyuan's military background. For a long time, before Misha came to Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan actually liked to wear dark clothes. The reason was simple, it was easy to clean. At that time, Gao Hongshi was the only one around Qin Zhiyuan, and it was easier to get a new one than to expect Gao Hongshi to wash the white clothes.

"It's called Zhufeng, and this one is called Ganyue. These are pure Arabian horses purchased from the British. They have noble bloodlines and a long history. They are the best breed in the world now. The legendary Dayuan Ferghana horses are far inferior." Emperor Taisho explained with pride, as if this was not an "Arabian horse" but a "Japanese horse".

Japan has been improving horses for a long time, introducing Arabian horses, Mongolian horses and Japanese local horses for crossbreeding, and then breeding better breeds. So far, Japan's "improvement plan" has achieved great results, and Japan's "Oriental Horse" has become the leading breed in East Asia.

Of course, at the level of Emperor Taisho, riding a pure "Arabian horse" is definitely respected. No matter how good the "Oriental Horse" is, it is a hybrid and cannot be put on the table.

Emperor Taisho said that the "Ferghana horse" is not as good as the "Arabian horse". This is purely due to anti-China psychology. It is difficult to compare which of these two horses is better. Emperor Taisho said this purely because of the status of the "Ferghana horse" among the Chinese.

In the Chinese world, when it comes to good horses, the "Dayuan horse" or "blood horse" is definitely the first, and few people know about the "Arabian horse".

At least Qin Zhiyuan doesn't know much about this.

Of course, there is no need to argue with Emperor Taisho at this time, just let Emperor Taisho immerse himself in the memories of the past.

Maybe this is also lucky.
