Chapter 165: Slave Training

After Song Qing left, Wei Jichen's face darkened. He didn't expect that Cixi would notice him now. Cixi was a person who would carefully consider and decisively deal with any situation that she felt was insecure about her. Of course, decisively dealing with him didn't necessarily mean killing him. Just like now, taking away most of his power, making him only a pawn, and not being able to continue to soar to the sky, was also a deal. Could it be that there was something about him that made her feel deeply uneasy and had some concerns in her heart? Wei Jichen had been busy dealing with Gaiping's military and political affairs these days, and didn't pay much attention to the movements in the capital. Wei Jichen flipped through the letters from the capital. Two of them were written by Su Zhiniang. They only said some common words, but Wei Jichen could see the deep concern and worry between the lines. There were still a few letters that Wei Jichen hadn't had time to read because he didn't recognize the signatures on them. Wei Jichen had received many boring letters from young ladies in the boudoir before, so he also classified these few letters into this category. But now that he saw that these letters were sent by someone from the capital, he didn't care anymore and prepared to open them and take a look, maybe he could get some useful information from them. Lin Zhixing? Wei Jichen first saw the long article in the front expressing how much he admired him and how he wanted to make friends with him. "General Wei's articles make people's blood boil. Every time I think of a white-robed general writing under a busy schedule, I respect him, admire him, miss him, and look forward to him." "When Wei Jichen saw this, he could not help but feel a chill. Judging from the handwriting and the name, this should be a man. He would not want to be gay with him. Fortunately, Wei Jichen immediately saw that Lin Zhixing claimed to be the editor-in-chief of the Beijing branch of the "Chinese Gazette". Wei Jichen then gritted his teeth and continued reading. At least the possibility of being gay with him was greatly reduced. The more Wei Jichen read, the more serious his expression became. This Lin Zhixing told him everything that had happened in the capital during this period of time. He especially mentioned the flattery of various foreign newspapers on himself, and that someone funded the "Chinese Gazette" to publish an article full of flattery. According to Lin Zhixing, after his investigation, he found that the sponsor was an Oriental person, not a foreigner, and that several major newspapers simultaneously published articles that strongly praised Wei Jichen. There must be some conspiracy behind it. Looking through the next few sheets of letter paper, They were all articles about Wei Jichen that Lin Zhixing had cut out from various newspapers. Lin Zhixing had even highlighted some of the inappropriate words with a red pen to remind Wei Jichen. What? The number one general in the Far East, the most powerful strategist in history, the Chinese most favored by the West. Wei Jichen was shocked by these titles. When he looked at the signatures of the articles, they were all foreign names, with identity notes at the end such as West Point Military Academy strategic researcher, and British Royal Military Academy Sandhurst military professor. When did my reputation spread to the world? Wei Jichen slowly put down the newspaper. In the eyes of Westerners, the Sino-Japanese War today is just like the war between two African countries in the eyes of later Chinese. Others will only pay attention to the final outcome of the war and what benefits their own country can gain. As for the two sides that performed outstandingly in the war, Leader, in the eyes of Westerners, they simply disdain you. It is a joke that they will remember you and worship you. Even if you are a good fighter and have destroyed the little Japan, in the eyes of today's Westerners, they will only think that you are a stronger ant. They will think that if they encounter their own country's army, it will only take a few seconds to destroy you. Who cares about me so much? You actually want to praise me to death? It should be impossible for people in the court. First, I don’t have such a grudge with others. Second, this requires a lot of financial and material resources. I guess even if someone doesn’t like me, they won’t spend the money. Except for the court, then the answer is very obvious, the little Japan! I have been defeated repeatedly by me on the battlefield, and even several assassination attempts have failed. Instead, I have played a trick on you. Are you starting to use these conspiracies and tricks now? I am very happy that you succeeded. This move is simply an open conspiracy. Even if Cixi knew that this might be a conspiracy by the Japanese, she had this knot in her heart from then on. She would think about it from time to time. This knot will sprout and grow one day. Fortunately, I am not going to work for Cixi for a long time. I believe that with my current strength, Cixi will not insist on killing me. At most, she will suppress me. As for the future, we will talk about it later. From the telegram that I stayed in the camp to see the effect, I knew that Cixi still needed me, but I would not let myself be a flower to show off, but a green leaf to set off others. Don't think about rising so quickly. Damn, which little Japanese used such a despicable trick? My merit value income was reduced by most of the time, and I can't use military strategist skills to boost morale on other armies in the future. Wei Jichen was in a very depressed mood. Go see Katsura Taro and see what I can get out of his mouth. Wei Jichen has used the strategy of instigating rebellion against Katsura Taro four times. Each time, the effect was good. Not only did Katsura Taro's will become increasingly depressed, but his friendliness towards Wei Jichen also increased, and now it has reached 58. Wei Jichen felt that he was now carrying out a plan called slave cultivation. As for why the opponent will never submit to you again after seven failed attempts, according to Xiao Dingdang's explanation, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and finally recruited a fierce general. Could it be that you, with the system, are not even as good as Zhuge Liang? What else can Wei Jichen say? He can only give the system a middle finger. Katsura Taro was held in solitary confinement in a secret room, and no one except Wei Jichen would let him out.

This is also to prevent the Japanese from coming to rescue him after receiving the news, although the probability is very small, because the Japanese believe in Bushido. If a defeated person is still alive and lingering in the world, it would be good enough if they don't come to kill him, but they come to rescue him. When Wei Jichen walked in, Katsura Taro was looking at the sky with empty eyes. This house is very small. There is nothing else in it except the bed and bedding. Wei Jichen wants to torture his spirit. Katsura Taro can't do anything in such a small space. There is no one to talk to. It's amazing that he hasn't been driven crazy for so long. "Katsura Taro, I have discovered your headquarters' plan to land in Shandong. Now, our army is fighting with yours in Rongcheng Bay, and our Beiyang Fleet withdrew from Weihaiwei early and has retreated to Dagukou. Your attempt to annihilate the Beiyang Fleet has failed." Wei Jichen looked at Katsura Taro with affection, activated the military strategy of instigating rebellion, and continued to seduce: "And I, with the army, have recaptured Gaiping. The next target is Jinzhou, and the next target is Lushun. All your plans to invade China will be in vain. Submit to me. Only a strong man like me is the one you can be loyal to. Are you still obsessed with impotent men like Mu Ren?" The more Wei Jichen spoke, the more he felt like a pimp. Fortunately, these words only played an auxiliary and amplifying role, and the core role was still the mental control released by the military strategy. Katsura Taro's eyes became more and more confused, and he murmured to himself, "No, you killed so many warriors of my Great Japanese Empire." Is he going to fail again? Wei Jichen was a little frustrated. Unexpectedly, Katsura Taro changed the subject and continued to murmur, "However, you are strong enough. It is reasonable for me, Katsura Taro, to submit to a strong man like you." "Dingdang, the host has subdued Katsura Taro. From now on, he will become your slave and will never betray you. I hope the host can cherish him well, because there are only three slave places for the first-level rebellion plan. Once the enemy becomes your slave, it cannot be changed again. Even if the slave dies, it will be counted in the quota." The voice of little Dingdang rang in Wei Jichen's ears like the sound of nature, but when Wei Jichen heard the following words, he couldn't help but want to curse. Fortunately, the one he instigated this time was Katsura Taro. If he had instigated a Japanese to rebel casually before, wouldn't it be a big loss?
