Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

In mid-June, August's series of measures in Japan achieved certain results, and people's lives gradually began to get back on track. As August's appearances in front of the people gradually increased, she gradually gained popularity in Japan. Idol-like popularity.

Maybe it’s because of the beautiful girl filter, but August treats them pretty well anyway. Most of the Japanese people are farmers, and they are the ones who give the land to them. And August did distribute the land to the farmers, so they naturally There is nothing to say. The servants and samurai of the former shogunate were basically disarmed and thrown into factories to enjoy 996. They had no complaints. They did the same thing in the landlord's house. In the past, they could only make a living, but now they can still make money. , so cool.

You can only say that it all depends on the support of colleagues. Generally speaking, the unemployed population has been almost solved. The next step is to wipe out the local snakes and bandits nationwide, and also to kill all the underworld.

In order to stabilize Prussia's rule, August appointed a small number of officials from the shogunate period, including the former general who conquered the barbarians, Tokugawa Iemo. In order to prevent him from having too much power, August gave him A brand new title, Mayor of Tokyo, and some of his cronies are also mayors and county magistrates. In Japan, a county magistrate is already a very high official.

Especially those officials who were not very favored but were somewhat capable, August liked to use them, because they would identify more with the new government that gave them official positions. Those veterans from the previous dynasty had great influence in the government. For example, almost all senior officials such as the left minister Konoe Tadahiro and the right minister Takaji Fukihiro were put on idle posts, or even asked to retire directly.

Augustus did not like this kind of guys with both fame and status. They would threaten his rule.

August was quite relieved to deal with it this way. She thought that these people would not be able to cause any trouble, so it would be okay to keep them alive.

And at the end of June, August will drive the last nail in the coffin of the shogunate in Kyoto, the capital of Japan during the shogunate era.

But Mao Qi said worriedly, "I personally do not recommend that Your Highness go to Kyoto."

August asked in confusion, "Why?"

Moltke: "There are still remnants of the old shogunate era here, and many opposition parties are concentrated here, thinking of counterattacking us at any time. His Highness can give speeches near Tokyo to win over people, but Kyoto and other southern areas are still a bit dangerous."

August thought for a moment and said, "Kyoto is very important. Just like Washington, it may not be the most prosperous city, but it must be the most influential. As the ruler of Prussia and Japan, I I think I should do this, and I also believe that my army can definitely protect me."

Moltke saw August's firm expression and gave up the persuasion. He knew August very well and would be completely sure of anything she believed in. What's more, the opponents had nothing in their hands. What could they take? In the fight against Prussia, Moltke also saw in this short period of time that even the people in Japan had a bad attitude towards the shogunate. Even the public opinion did not support them. At best, they were just trapped animals still fighting.

The whole of Japan has fallen under the iron heel of Prussia. What kind of waves can some tiny flies cause?

.......

Recently, August has been working overtime intensively every day, and the tedious and complicated work has made her a little exhausted physically and mentally. August wandered in the garden of the Imperial Palace for a while, and it was not much like the Japanese Imperial Palace in her memory. difference.

And a little guy that he had never seen before appeared in this palace. It was only for a short moment, but August still saw it.

Is there anyone else in the palace? Look, the little guy just now is about [-] meters tall... Is he the child of an official?

August walked over with curious thoughts, and standing not far away was Wagoniya, the current female emperor.

To be honest, August and He Gong have hardly met each other. She is also a very traditional Japanese woman, and August and her are not from the same group.

But I could take this opportunity to chat with her.

Seeing August, Hegong was a little surprised. In her eyes, August was like a working machine that never got tired and never saw her resting. "Huh? Your Highness August? You are here today to enjoy yourself." Going to the garden?"

"I was very busy before and had no time. Now I can finally relax a little. Is this the first time we have chatted with Miss Gong like this?"

"Ms. August, do you speak Japanese very well? Have you ever been to Japan?"

"No, as a European aristocrat, isn't it normal for you to say whatever you say everywhere?" Behind He Gong was a somewhat shy girl. She hid behind He Gong, a little afraid of Augustus. special.

"who is she?"

"Her name is Nagato, she is my sister..."

"Sister? Nagato?"

August looked at the little girl behind He Gong and fell into deep thought. When did He Gong have a sister? Also called Nagato? What, you also have a navy dream?

No wonder August looked a little familiar to her, but she was quite cute.

"Is there any problem? Your Highness August?"

"That's not true, but Miss Hegong, you have been the emperor for a while, how do you feel?"

"Well, it's like a sparrow locked in a birdcage, right? Not many people recognize me as the emperor, and the military family also hates my title. Why do you do this, Miss August? If you want If you want to be the emperor, wouldn’t you just take it?”

"I don't like the name "Emperor". If it were an emperor, I might be more accepting. But don't you Japanese people like to regard the emperor as a spiritual symbol? And as the daughter of Emperor Xiaohito, you should also be able to inherit the emperor. There is no problem with me doing this. .”

"But Japan has never had a female emperor..."

"You are the legal emperor. After all, Japan and Prussia now use the same law."
