Chapter 5 second round
The end of the Taisho period (1926).Thousand Residences in Tokyo.North's more spacious home.reception room.Beihe Jingzi chanting loudly.The short and dapper young Nishida Shi and the tall Okawa Shuaki.Nishida wears a Japanese dress and Okawa wears a suit.
Okawa: (bored attitude) Forget it, Nishida.He didn't come to Bei's house for many days, and when he came, he made people wait for a long time, and he concentrated on reciting "Nanwu Miaofa Lianhua Sutra" early in the morning... Okawa Zhouming was really impatient.Recently, old Beijing has been reciting the "Lotus Sutra" with such vigor. Although the "Namomiaofa Lotus Sutra" is rare, just reciting it cannot transform a country!
Nishida: Mr. Okawa, then, that Joffe who was called the plenipotentiary of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Russian Government in the Far East a few days ago (in 1923, he went to Tokyo to negotiate with Japan as the plenipotentiary of the Soviet Union in the Far East; later, he committed suicide because he supported Trotsky) When I came to inquire about the resumption of diplomatic relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, and to fool the Japanese bourgeoisie, Mr. Bei flatly replied with an open letter, exposing that funny trick, but why did Mr. Yucunshe stand by and watch?
Okawa: Nishida, you don't know anything.
Nishida: What?
Okawa: Yue Fei did not come to the door by himself, but was invited by Japan.It was invited by Tokyo Mayor Shinpei Goto!
Nishida: I know.Attacking Goto Shinpei, who used to be the president of the Manchurian Railway, for Mr. Okawa, who works in the East Asian Economic Research Department of the Manchurian Railway...
Okawa: I didn't come here to argue with you, Nishida.You hold a grudge about that, don't you? ...the one in Hokkaido...
Nishida: Ah, is it a matter of illegal acts by senior officials of the Imperial Household Ministry in selling imperial land?
Okawa: Yes.
Nishida: But fundamentally, that was also initiated by Okawa-san.
Okawa: That’s what you said!
Nishida: Mr. Okawa, yes, I am a member of the Xingdisha.As the editor of "Nihon" magazine, the lecturer of Daikakuryo (an institution that taught ancient books and managed related affairs in Japan before World War II), and the collaborator of Mr. Okawa, he has been working until today.On the other hand, when I was studying at the Army Military Academy, I had a deep sympathy for Mr. Kita's "Outline of the Japan Reconstruction Act", and I had the will to dedicate my life to its promotion and realization.
Okawa: At this moment, don’t mention your so-called volunteer.
Nishida: Sorry.I am indeed a member of Xingdishe.But I accidentally learned from somewhere that a high-ranking official of the Imperial Household Ministry had corruption issues in the sale of the land of the Hokkaido royal family.Is there any fuss about going after such misconduct?However, I didn't notice at first that the target of the investigation was none other than the Minister of Internal Affairs, Earl Makino Nobuaki.Earl Makino trusts Mr. Okawa the most in the palace, and it can be said that he is the backstage of the palace... My actions cannot be said to have been carefully considered, but even so, it cannot be said that it violated the law.
Okawa: Hey, forget it!As for the sale of the royal land, it seems to you that you pursued it alone; but who was it that wrote the pamphlet?Like the strange document of the Imperial Household Ministry, isn't it also written by Kita Ikki here? ... Nishida, you still can't write such a beautiful article.Well, that kind of demagogic style of writing must belong to Kita Ikki!You, Nishida, aren't you his lackey?
Nishida: Running dog? ……great!It is an honor to be Mr. Bei's lackey. (laugh)
Okawa: Well, speaking of the charm of Bei's writing... Anyway, he said it was a matter related to the prosperity of the royal family, and he ruthlessly attacked Youpeng in Yuanlaoshan County, and made the old man who lived in Mubaidai nervous weakened.He is the Changzhou Clan and Grand Elder with supreme power in the palace, politics, and military circles!Even Shan County is troubled by your stubbornness.
go north.
Bei: Welcome!
Okawa: Hey, Old Bei, excuse me.
Bei: Long time no see, long time no see.
Okawa: Do you always recite the "Namo Miaofa Lianhua Sutra" at this time?
Bei: ... Oh, it's homework.
Okawa: Do you want to be a Buddhist monk?
Bei: Is it a prayer master who makes out formulas and recites mantras?It's not bad to have a mother's side job!
Okawa: But, I want to talk about an old topic, the labor dispute between Yasuda Mutual Aid (the Yasuda Mutual Life Insurance Company run by Japanese monopoly capitalist Yasuda Zenjiro (1838-1921)).
Bei: Oh, what does the Yasuda labor dispute have to do with you?
Okawa: It’s okay to pretend to be confused. Although your plan to mediate is out of good intentions, I still hope you don’t intervene.
Bei: Ah, is that the thing?But, I can't stand by and watch!
Okawa: Squeezing in halfway can make things difficult for us.
Kita: The negotiations to resolve the dispute were going well, so why did you have to break in wearing clothes stained with Zenjiro Yasuda's blood?That was too much.
Okawa: That matter, your subordinate Hayami did it too scary.
Bei: Now he seems to be one of your subordinates.That bloody coat is a relic left to me by Asahi Heigo.Asahi read the "Japan Reconstruction Act" and hated that the huge capital accumulated by social production was monopolized by personal self-interest. He assassinated Yasuda and committed suicide.Although I gave this relic of his to someone else, I don't remember saying "in order to intervene in the dismissal dispute and obtain a settlement fee, let's use it as a costume for a social drama".That's too unseemly, and it's too tarnished the souls of those with lofty ideals.I had to intervene.
Okawa: It's not easy for you to find an excuse!The way you are doing these days - insisting on intervening in the mediation of Yasuda Mutual Aid's labor disputes, isn't the purpose of stealing the settlement fee from others?In the past, whether it was the sale of the land of the Hokkaido imperial family or the strange document exposing the illegal activities of fifteen banks, the purpose was to entangle the imperial family, stunned the bureaucrats, provoke troubles, and extort money.Hey, what a troublemaker! ...Where is the face of Kita Ikki who once joined the Chinese Revolutionary League and crossed the sea to the turbulent continent in order to understand and enlarge Asia?I feel sad for you.Now Bei Yihui seems to have become a wolf in the wilderness looking for rotten meat from the political and financial circles!
Bei: ...Although I take it as my duty to devote myself to the great cause of running the country, I am a poor vagabond.Since he is not willing to kowtow to the rich and powerful, he has to be a wolf.You can't revolutionize by drinking the northwest wind.Is Okawa good or bad?There is no duality between obedience and obedience in the north, this is the method of indifference.
Okawa stared intently at Bei's face.
Bei: But, if I am a wolf hunting for food in the wilderness, Okawa Shuming, what are you?You have the title of doctor, you are a university professor, and you work in the investigation department of the Manchurian Railway; you have won the trust of Earl Makino in the royal family;This is by no means a wolf, but a fox or something.Knock on the door of the rich in the morning, and follow the dust of the fat horse in the evening.Aren't you a high-society, sycophantic fox?You are a helper!
Okawa: (smiling) Your standpoint is different from mine. (Also said to Nishida next to him)...One day in the ninth year of Taisho, I accidentally picked up "New India" written by Sir Henry Gordon from a second-hand bookstore in Kanda. Only after reading this book did I know the reality of India. Situation: The reality of India is very different from what I have imagined in my head. The situation is dire; India has been a victim of British colonial policy for many years, and it has been enslaved under the blunt exploitation of British imperialism.From then on I realized that India and all of Asia had to be liberated.I developed a strong aversion to white oppression of people of color.From then on, I began to study how the white race claimed hegemony in the world and how it maintained its hegemony.
Bei smiled and listened.
Okawa: I had the opportunity to study classic works such as "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki".As the research progressed, the Japanese spirit dormant in the depths of my soul awoke most strongly.Before that, like the average Japanese, I didn't know my country well, so I didn't value it.However, this study of Japanese history made me realize the original meaning of the Japanese national system, the solemnity of the Japanese spirit, and the meaning of the ideals of the Japanese people.Before that, I went from a specialist in Indian philosophy to a student of modern India; now, combined with the concomitant awakening in Asia, as a thorough Japonist, I became a People who think and act in the Japanese way.
Bei was silent, sometimes showing disinterest, and sometimes looking at Okawa.
Nishida: I learned what you said a long time ago.
Okawa: That's right.However, you have followed Lao Bei for a long time, so you should just review it again and listen carefully!
Nishida wanted to refuse, but Bei gently stopped him, showing an expression asking him to listen.
Okawa: In this way, in the course of my study of colonial policy and my transformation from a European admirer to a Japonist, the epoch-making world war began.This war led to the rapid and rapid development of Japanese capitalism; soon, like the advanced countries in Europe and America, social movements also rose.Forcibly instilling class consciousness in the workers, vigorously advocating class struggle, and successively launched tenant farmers' struggles and workers' strikes.On the other hand, as a result of the war, a small group of upstarts were born, and the political circles flattered and colluded with them, which made the intelligent people among the people feel indignant; while abroad, the communist revolution in Russia, the collapse of the German and Austrian empires , the Spanish revolution, etc., reform movements are being carried out everywhere in the world... Japan cannot stay out of this situation.As a result, many large and small so-called "reform groups" emerged.Just at this time, some people involved in the movement to transform the society, or people who were interested in this aspect gathered together to form an assembly to express their opinions freely.People of every ideology, from the extreme left to the extreme right, attended the rally.On this basis, in the eighth year of the Taisho period, the Yucunsha, a group aimed at reforming the country, was formed, and I became its backbone.At that time, everyone thought of you—Old Bei...
Kita and Nishida reacted differently while listening.
Okawa: When you were twenty-three years old, you carried the manuscript of "The National System and Pure Socialism" in your arms, traveled from Sado Island to Tokyo, and printed it at your own expense.Unfortunately, it violated the taboo of the official constitution and was banned from distribution.Those who got hold of it and read it did not know the name of the unknown Kita Terujiro, but thought it was the pseudonym of a famous theorist.Your "National Constitution and Pure Socialism" has a fresh and sharp point of view, criticizing the shortcomings that no one has noticed before, and the arguments are clear. It is really an excellent masterpiece.Scholars, thinkers, and socialist activists all over the world are amazed by it.Yesterday you were an unknown youth who, like Lord Byron, became famous overnight (English poet, suddenly famous with the long poem "Child Harold's Travels")... But you are not Poet, you cannot be said to be famous in the whole society; moreover, you later approached the Chinese youth group in Japan through the Black Dragon Society. As soon as the revolutionary beacon was ignited in Wuhan, you came to China to participate in the revolution.I heard people say that once the first revolution failed, you went into hiding in Changtian Hospital in Shanghai.I thought to myself: I can’t let such an outstanding talent be buried in Shanghai, so I discussed with my colleagues. In order to invite you to our Survival Society, I secretly took a boat to Shanghai...
Nishida: At that time, Mr. Kita gave you the draft of the "Japan Reconstruction Act" written by him.
Okawa: Yes.I read the draft on the spot, and immediately realized that it was a great guideline for reforming Japan, and I was so moved that I trembled all over.I left Lao Bei, who was going to live in Shanghai temporarily, and returned to China with the "Japanese Reconstruction Act" in hand.When I showed this draft to Kametaro Mankawa and other colleagues, they all felt the same, and they all praised it as the light of Japan.Therefore, when Lao Bei came back to Japan, he cheered in unison with the people and welcomed him as our backbone...
Nishida: In the society, Mr. Kita, Mr. Okawa, and Mr. Manchuan are called the Trinity of the Survival Society.When I was studying at the Military Academy, Mr. Bei allowed me to approach him and receive his teachings.When I was studying, I was keen on nationalism.
Okawa: (Slightly unhappy because the conversation was interrupted by Nishida) Which term of the military academy are you from?
Xiyong: Issue 34. (Slightly move to correct posture) Sincerity and fear are reduced, and it is the same period as His Highness Chichibu Palace (the title of Emperor Yongren, the second brother of Emperor Hirohito, as the prince).During the school term, I asked His Highness Meng for more information, and I was fortunate to often state the issue of national reform to His Highness in accordance with nationalism.
Okawa: (staring at him) I heard that among the students a few grades below you—about thirty-five, thirty-seven, and eighth grades of young military officers, many are interested in reforming the country.Are they all influenced by you as the legend says?
Nishida: I served as a second lieutenant in the Ronan Regiment in Joseon, so I broke up with my classmates from the later period of the military school, and I have never met anyone outside.However, I am studying the problem of reforming the country myself.Soon, unfortunately, I fell ill, quit the army, and came to Tokyo.Thanks to the mediation of Mr. Manchuan and others, I became a member of the Gyojisha, and also became a lecturer and dormitory supervisor in the university dormitory whose main purpose is to instill Japanese spiritual education.At that time, Mr. Okawa, you were a lecturer in the university dormitory, and you were preaching "Japanese thought and Japanese spirit".
Okawa: That's natural. (laughs) I was the one who persuaded Manchuan and others to set up the university dormitory... Nishida, when Manchuan asked you to be the supervisor of the university dormitory, I was really not very interested.However, because of Man Chuan's entreaties, I agreed... (Teasing tone) People's so-called "premonition" is really a wonderful thing. It should be called an ominous premonition experience, and today is indeed the case.
Nishida: (with an unhappy look) Mr. Okawa, what happened to the "Japan Reconstruction Act"?According to you, when you got the draft from Mr. Bei and first arrived in Japan, you were quite moved, but now, the enthusiasm has cooled down, right?
Okawa: At that time, various transformation groups only advocated abstract transformation. The "Japan Reconstruction Act" of Old Bei that we got from the Survival Society was not decisive; but nonetheless, it clearly showed the Outline.This is commendable.
Nishida: How are you doing now? (pressing persistently) Still not decisive?
Okawa: For us, it is not decisive.But the Japan Transformation Act is brilliant.In the future, no matter who writes a plan to transform the country, it cannot go beyond it... Declare wartime martial law and suspend the constitution; dissolve the Privy Council and Parliament and replace it with a cabinet that reforms the country based on veterans' enlistment; A new institution to assist the emperor - the Council of Advisors; in addition to the nine provinces in the current cabinet system, seven new provinces were set up to manage production as the main body; the royal property was bestowed, and the private property of each national family was limited to one hundred Within 10,000 yuan, the excess will be confiscated by the state.This is indeed National Socialism dictatorship by the military.
Nishida: Mr. Okawa, you seem to be quite trusted among the upper-level officers of the military department, and you have a very close relationship.Are you saying that this program of reforming the country, relying on the Legion, is bad because it is too democratic?
Okawa: No, the system itself is excellent.In particular, restrictions on individual private property and other parts, although there are some in the communist country Russia, but Japanese nationalists can actually take this into consideration. After all, it is epoch-making! ...There are only two issues that are difficult to deal with, which is why the Survival Society believed that the "Reform Act" was not a decisive document at that time.Now it seems to me that these two problems are more difficult.
Nishida: What is it?
Okawa: Needless to say, it is a matter of using veterans.In fact, the essence is to use active servicemen.
Nishida: It is not the Legion of Veterans that forms the government: the Legion of Veterans is the basis for supporting the National Transformation Cabinet.
Okawa: Then, after the Privy Council is abolished, who will assist the Emperor?
Nishida: Just as written in the "Act", an advisory council should be established to assist the emperor and seek talents from all over the world.
Okawa: In the end, it was just a collection of the best talents from all over the world who were in line with the wishes of the Legion of Veterans.It is said here that it is a veteran. I am afraid that the core should be served by active military officers.Since the martial law itself was declared by active servicemen, it is self-evident that active servicemen will become the main force of reform.Although it is covered up with words, the tail is still exposed! ...Can such inexperienced and politically trained officers really be able to master Japanese politics?
Nishida: Of course, there may be mistakes due to lack of actual experience.Therefore, the "Act" mentions that in order to prevent veterans from making mistakes in joining the regiment, the necessary government offices should be assisted.
Okawa: Officials will flock to assist the military, and politicians will flock to them.Not only a group of so-called "reformed politicians" headed by Nakano Masatake, but even old politicians flocked here without shame, so as to make some money.There are no politicians more incorrigible than Japan.In their eyes, there are only selfish desires, the interests of the party, and no national interests; and they are cunning and treacherous, and they are good at playing tricks, and the danger of soldiers being influenced by them is very great.
Nishida: Don't worry about that. The "Reform Act" stated that the fundamental spirit lies in reforming by the people themselves and for the people. This is the most important point.He also said that various labor groups should be obliged to assist the Veterans Corps.
Okawa: Transformation by the people themselves, for the people, um...that's a beautiful way to put it. It is written in the "Reform Act": "The emperor is the general representative of the people..." Then, the power of the emperor has become the main body of the revolution.
Nishida: In theory, yes.
Okawa: Maybe so.Because martial law is to be declared in the name of the emperor.In this way, the emperor is the general representative of the people and the main body of the revolution carried out by the people.So the Emperor is no longer a god—that is, no longer a god-like existence, is he?
Nishida: Not the Emperor as recorded in ancient books.The emperor is the people's trust in the personality.The personality is a mortal, not a god, and occupies the highest position in the state.This is the emperor of the people.
Okawa: This is the major difference in opinion between me and Lao Bei.
Bei looked at Okawa and remained silent.
Okawa: (noticing Kita's gaze, continuing to speak to Nishida) The people and the emperor are one.There is no reason why the nation declines but only the emperor himself prospers.The emperor and the people live and die with prosperity and decline.The law of common prosperity between the emperor and heaven and earth is also the law of eternal prosperity for the Japanese people.This is a traditional ideal that the Japanese people have inherited for 2,600 years.However, the reason why it has become an unchanging ideal is that the people do not regard the emperor as a mortal, but respect the emperor as a "god who appears", that is, as a "god who appears".Read "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki" and you will understand that our ancestors called themselves "the favored people of heaven", and the emperor is the god who appeared; that is to say, this nation wants to realize the supreme belief in the emperor throughout the country ideal.For 2,600 years, this ideal has sustained the nation of Japan, unrivaled in the world.As Kaki Honmaro sang: "King is king and god." People believe in the concept that the emperor is the god of heaven, obey the orders of the supreme emperor alone, and maintain Japan with the spirit of Japan... If the emperor is the people's If the general representative descends into the people and treats him as an ordinary person, then the people's absolute belief in the emperor will be weakened, and the result will be full of doubts. On the one hand, the "Reform Act" regards the emperor as the pillar of the country, and places him among the people as the general representative of the people; on the other hand, it gives the emperor the absolute power of God since ancient times, recognizing The emperor who has changed from a god to a mortal has the theocracy like the ancient emperors.It may be a bit harsh to quote the "National Constitution and Pure Socialism" written by Lao Bei here, but the fundamental thought of Lao Bei may not have changed.That is to say, in the past, both the emperor and the Imperial Diet were regarded as the highest organs of a democratic country; this time, the character of the ancient emperors of Japan was given to the emperor as the representative of a modern state.Here, the emperor is completely divided!This is the biggest contradiction.Putting aside this kind of controversy, from the perspective of the people, since the emperor has become a mortal, who among the people will believe in the authority of the emperor?Who else would sincerely submit to the divine right of the Emperor? (At this moment, the stage gradually darkened, and only Okawa's voice was heard getting higher and higher)...The emperor must always be the descendant of "Heaven's favorite people"-the present god of modern citizens!Only in this way can the people have absolute loyalty to him.The emperor should not be regarded as a "general representative of the people", like the president of the United States.The Emperor is God.It is precisely because he is a god that the hearts of the people are all directed toward the Emperor.Only in this way can the monarch and his subjects become one body, and Japan can drive the white people out of Asia, liberate Asia, and build a real kingly paradise.Therefore, it is absolutely not permissible to make use of junior soldiers to carry out any revolution.On the premise of not destroying the existing political system, it is enough to expel the corrupt ministers, politicians, bureaucrats, and rich people, and carry out reforms from within.A certain degree of coup d'état is necessary here, but the subsequent new system must be consolidated by awakened key officers and capable new officials.They are politically informed, economical, and experienced.Lao Bei and you are advocating the use of young military officers in active service to carry out armed revolution. This is the difference between me and you...Old Bei, where are your eyes that have seen the Chinese revolution!Don't you just stare at the country?How about you look abroad?China also suffered from white invasion, as did India, Indochina, Philippines, Borneo.To drive the white race out of Asia.It is not hesitant to launch a war to liberate Asia with Europe and the United States as opponents.At that time the Asians will unite as one against the white race.Japan is the leader and stands at the forefront of the liberation war.If such a system is formed, Japan will naturally reform.There must be reformation... However, in order to carry out such a movement, the Emperor must be a god.If you sing about the "emperor of the people" and reduce the emperor to a mortal, not only will you not be able to liberate Asia, but even the emperor system will not be guaranteed to collapse.I object!The emperor must be the God of Appearance!Only if he is a god, the people will swear allegiance, and the soldiers will fight bravely on the battlefield, shouting "Long Live His Majesty the Emperor" and die... The emperor is a god-this is the conclusion I have come to from studying Japanese spirit and Japanese history!
The stage lights up.Okawa has gone.Only Bei and Xi Tian were left.It makes people feel that a long time has passed since Okawa left.The two seem to have forgotten Okawa's eloquence.
North: Nishida!
Nishida: Hmm...
Bei: You broke up with Okawa and left Xingdishe. Is there any way to earn income?
Nishida: Oh! ...This time he is completely a vagrant!
Bei: Really?It is sad to have such an unstable day without income.
Shizuko enters.
Nishida: Do you feel sad too?
Bei: Of course I'm sad.
Shizuko: The chief of the police said: "Sir, if you are in trouble, please write something, and I will give you 200 yen immediately." Died in chaos.
Nishida: What do you do when you are too poor?
Bei: ...where there is money, there will always be one. Get it from rich land.
Nishida: Are you going to ask for it?
Bei: Go and get it.
Nishida: Will someone give it to you?
Bei: As long as there is money, I will give it.
Nishida: What about when you can’t come up with a reason?
Bei: Think of a reason.
Nishida: Can you figure it out?
Bei: Whether to ask for alms, or to ask for it openly;
Nishida: Really?
Bei: Nishida, isn’t the so-called revolution meant to seize? ...to take, and at the same time to give.
Nishida was silent.
Bei: In order to conquer the world, one must often experience poverty.Isn't that the reason?
Nishida: (with a serious expression) Sir, what is the real reason for your breakup with Mr. Okawa?
Bei: (expression becomes severe) What do you think?
Nishida: I don't know... In the final analysis, the so-called two heroes cannot coexist, right?
Bei: Do you know what I scolded him?
Nishida: ...Can you help me?
Bei: Yes, because he is a helper of the upper class.
Nishida: ...Just because of this? ... I know your temper does not suit him ...
Kita: That's a big question, Nishida.Do you remember the principles of the Chinese Revolutionary Party for the movement of the army?
Nishida remained silent.
Bei: That’s the thing, that is to say, when doing military work, you can’t rely on senior officers above the battalion commander——.
Nishida: (Strengthening the tone) Guan Jian is right here!
Bei: Because they are not soldiers, but bureaucrats.He is a vulgar official who is dedicated to climbing up.During their tenure, they only want not to make mistakes, and worry about tarnishing their history like tigers.It can be said that people above the captain are such guys.Therefore, they have no courage to take risks, but desperately avoid responsibility.Moreover, besides their meritorious deeds and political skills, what brings them promotion is more flattery to their superiors.Therefore, as soon as such a group of guys encounter a difficult situation and a desperate situation, they immediately flee to the opposition party to try to protect themselves.They are corrupt bureaucrats with foreign knives.This kind of person is worthless!
Nishida: I totally understand.Take my short-term experience as a second lieutenant in charge of troops. The regiment (the establishment of the Japanese army before World War II, which is equivalent to a regiment) is full of such guys.
Kita: Nishida, do you know the difference between war and revolution?
Nishida remained silent.
Bei: The outcome of a war is determined by the superiority or inferiority of military power.For revolution, military power is certainly necessary, but in essence it is a struggle of ideas, a war of ideas.
Nishida: Then, Okawa...
Bei: He likes to instigate the upper echelons of the military and instigate wars, but he is definitely not a revolutionary.This difference is particularly important, Nishida.
Shizuko put two large bowls on it.
Shizuko: Cook some noodles, please! (to Yingsheng who came with her) Yingsheng should eat with Mr. Nishida too.
Nishida: Oh, ma'am, every time...I'm so sorry...
Bei: Hey, Nishida, eat slowly.
go north.Get off Shizuko.Nishida and Hideo eat noodles raw.
Yingsheng: ...Mr. Nishida, how do you pronounce your name?
Nishida: My name? ……Ha ha!Difficult! ...how do you read it?Yingsheng is the "tax" of "taxation", but there are other ways of thinking.
Yingsheng: I...don't know!
Nishida: It is pronounced "Miciji" (in Japanese, both "tax" and "tribute" can be read as "Miciji").
Yingsheng: ...Why was it named "Miciji"?
Nishida: Why? ...Well, it... is the "tribute" of "tribute", which means contribution.My father gave it in order to dedicate this child to His Majesty the Emperor.So, I became a soldier, a second lieutenant in the cavalry.The cavalry is the eyes and ears of the army, attacking the enemy on the battlefield like a gust of wind and thunder.
Shizuko puts the pastry and other things on.
Yingsheng: Then, why not become a soldier?
Nishida: Hmm...
Shizuko looked at Nishida and smiled silently.
Nishida: Well... because I found a more important job than being a soldier.Simply put, in order to transform the present Japan into a better Japan, unite the soldiers—young soldiers, win over comrades, rely on them to destroy the old Japan.In order to achieve this purpose, there are many inconveniences in wearing a military uniform, so I resigned from the military.
Shizuko: (to Yingsheng) Mr. Nishida received a silver watch when he was in the military academy. He is an excellent officer.
Nishida: Chichibu Miyashita is a classmate of the same period as us.I once studied at the table with His Highness.Later, I also (turning to Shizuko) copied a copy of the "Japan Reconstruction Act" and dedicated it to His Highness.
Shizuko: Ah, that's what happened.It's the first time I've heard of it.
Nishida: His Highness often meets with us secretly, avoiding the attendants... He said: "What state of mind is the Japanese proletariat in?... My situation has forced me to separate myself from the situation of the lower classes. You guys Come and tell me often."... (enthusiastically) For me, the sun is under Chichibu Palace.
Shizuko: Nishida-san seems to be in love with His Highness.
Nishida: Ah... Really? (laugh)
Shizuko: Mr. Nishida should have found a virtuous bride long ago!
Nishida: Yes, no, no!After leaving Xingdishe, I was completely jobless... For those who devote themselves to the national revolution, family fatigue is an obstacle.
Shizuko: Then, are you single all your life?
Nishida: That's the plan now.
Jingzi: If there is a good girl, let me help!That's right, there is also a star, may I ask Mr. Nishida's birthday?
Nishida: I was born in the thirty-fourth year of Meiji (1901), on the third day of October.
Shizuko: In the thirty-fourth year of Meiji, the third day of October... (Pinch fingers to count) In the ugly year, the nine purple stars were born.oops! ... This of us is the ninth purple of the young age, the two of us have the same fate!
Nishida: Really?Do you share the same fate with me, sir?Rare!
Shizuko: Fate has closely linked the two of you.
Nishida: ...Yes, I am determined to walk the same path with my husband.
