Songping Qixuan wanted to represent the shogunate and negotiate with the imperial court. The mere 500-person training team seemed a little bit incompatible with his status. As the uncle of the current general Tokugawa Jiading, who is also the old middle and infantry, the ostentation should obviously be greater.

It's just that in order to calm down Kyoto, Tokugawa Keibao was suppressed by a training team of hundreds of people in Kyoto, and the defense was changed every six months. Five hundred people from Edo, plus the soldiers and horses in Kyoto, there are already a thousand elite soldiers in the training team, which is enough.

Moreover, Songping Qixuan himself has 500 vassals in his ranks.

1,500 people make him the ranks, it is definitely the level of the lord of a country to enjoy it, there is nothing wrong with it.

"There are many people in the imperial court who are imaginative. Be sure to restrain them and not make them arrogant!" Matsudaira Qixuan, who was deliberately selected by Naobi Ii, was not allowed to go to the relatively talkative Hiroshu Kusaka and Yasaka Wakisaka.

The prestige of Xiaobawang has not been very obvious in recent years, but Jingyi Zhibi remembers it clearly. Tokugawa Jiaqing raised his youngest brother as a son. Their father, Tokugawa family Qi, was also very fond of this youngest son, forcibly letting the prince of Akashi's domain abdicate, and giving Songping Qi Xuanbao a 100,000 stone city master.

As long as it is not a rebellion or something, Matsudaira Qixuan is on the side of the shogunate, that is rampant. To put it in a nasty way, if Tokugawa Jiaqing was still alive, Matsudaira Qixuan would be fine if he punched Iizhibi now. Tokugawa Jiaqing will only persuade Ii Naobi, my younger brother is still a child, you can forget about my face.

At the temple, Matsudaira Qixuan beat Tokugawa Qingtu half to death, who saw the punishment? He didn't even get three drinks, he was just so domineering.

Let Xiaobawang go, not to be reasonable, but to be responsible for informing the place, and then reiterate it to the world. If it wasn't for Jing Yi Zhibi who couldn't walk away by himself, he would just go and crush the public servants who didn't know whether to live or die, and couldn't give any good looks to those people.

"I have my own way, don't worry." Songping Qixuan nodded, he is not stupid, his mind is actually very active.

"As a legal person, we should be careful not to cause trouble again." Chuyouemon is also on the side. After being gone for half a year, Chuemon should not come to see our uncle Akashi.

"After Kyoto is over, I will go to Kobe again to examine it in detail."

Kobe is not very far from Akashi, and Matsudaira Qi Xuan has returned, just in time to see the situation in Kobe with his own eyes. The local official reported it, who knows what the situation is.

Now foreigners are allowed to travel and visit within Japan at will along the railway line. Because the local officials of the shogunate can only arrest the invincible golden body that cannot be tried and dealt with, if they are not properly protected, some people are rampant in Japan. Those who dare to travel tens of thousands of miles away from their homeland and venture to the Far East are very courageous.

Fortunately, when the shogunate negotiated and signed the treaty, Chuemon was present. If they signed an extraterritorial law, they still don't know what the final approval would be.

"If there is something wrong in Kyoto, immediately spread the word about Edo!" Naobi Ii estimated that several thorns would jump out.

Iida Tadahiko, who was sentenced to beheaded in front of him, was not killed because he walked near the gate of Arisugawa Palace, which attracted a backlash from the court. Ordinary respectable elements, either ronin without scholar status, or middle and lower-level samurai, kill them like chickens and dogs.

"I've already said what Sobu has to say, and I don't have much to say. It's windy at sea, so don't stand on the bow for a long time." Chuemon and Matsudaira shook hands and sent him aboard.

This time, the shogunate used the sightseeing pill, the small 700-ton warship sent by the Netherlands, but the propeller was used, and it was considered a warship that was not backward for the time being. If you cooperate with the previous merchant ship that pulls soldiers, you will be done.

As for the shallow water gunboats built by the shogunate themselves, they obviously did not dare to drive out of the Edo Bay. The wind and waves in winter were too great. It is said that the Mosquito Cannon Boat bought by Li Hongzhang in history was successfully returned to China from Europe, and even foreigners could not believe it.

The only 2,000-ton warship in the shogunate, the Hamrinmaru, is still on the slipway of the Yokohama Shipyard, making teaching materials for students, sailors, and mechanics. Such a big ship, without skilled sailors, might as well stop at the shipyard temporarily.

If it sinks, do you pay?

Come on, Songping Qi Xuan didn't say more, and hurriedly boarded the boat. Naobi Ii and Chuemon who were seeing him off at the pier watched Kantomaru slowly leave the port, and Qixuan Matsudaira, who was standing on the side of the ship, actually waved slowly to the two of them. Along with the heavy snow, the figure of Kankomaru disappeared into the snow.

"This time, we must press that end!" A thin layer of snow had already accumulated on Naobi's shoulders. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Chuemon turned his head to look at Naobi Ii, who was only forty-three years old. I don't know if it was because of the snow on the braid, or if it was just like that, and it turned a little gray. The emanations on the ears, trembling with the wind, are even more old-fashioned.

Back then, the strong man named Tetsuzaburo Nagano in the Hikone Domain actually had a hunchback on his back. The vigorous arrogance that once filled his chest has not dissipated, but it has also smudged a bit pale.

"The weather is cold and windy, hurry up and take the car back to the city." Chuyouemon stepped forward to help Ii Nairobi.

I never thought that Naobi Ii would actually hold Chuemon's hand with a backhand. The cold hand of Chuemon was held by a pair of hands that were actually very warm.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." Naobi Ii changed his stern face and smiled at Chuemon.

"Hmm..." Chuemon didn't answer, just looked at Naobi Ii, trying to see something on his face.

It's a pity that nothing was seen in the end, and the two walked slowly to the station. Jingyi Naobi, who once rode a horse and whipped his whip and had a strong physique, can only choose to sit in a sedan chair now. Even Chuemon, relying on his youth, trailed behind him on horseback.

Because the railway has now been built to the Far River Hamamatsu Domain, and the Tenryu River Railway Bridge is being constructed, the trains no longer depart from Yokohama, but depart from Hamamatsu. Even as the head of the shogunate Ii Naobi, he could only wait for the bus obediently at the station. Who knows if the car will be in Hamamatsu, Shunfu, or Odawara.

"The railway hasn't communicated yet, how's the telegram?" Naobi Ii seemed to have thought of something.

"The telegraph is also under construction, and if you want to come after the year, you will be able to connect between Edo and Osaka." Chuemon remembers reading the construction report before, and after the year, Osaka and Edo will be able to communicate with the telegraph.
