Edo Traveler

v11 Chapter 101: Early morning snow in Edo

"What time is it?"

Chuemon was lying on the couch, unable to sleep peacefully, and his mind was in a mess. He simply sat up and asked Alan beside him.

"About three or four o'clock." Alan himself was about to get up at five o'clock.

As the mistress of the house, get up earlier than your husband, and then get dressed up. When the husband gets up, there is hot soup and rice to eat, which is the norm for ordinary Japanese wives at this time. Moreover, at four or five o'clock, the hawkers in Nihonbashi have already brought in the goods and rushed to the streets where they are selling, so it is not easy to buy vegetables if you wake up late.

"Get up..." Chuemon put on his coat.

When the barrier door was opened, the snow from last night was still falling, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. The climate of the second half of the nineteenth century was always so cold, and the spring was rather short.

There was movement in this room, and the two maids sleeping on the outside also hurriedly got up. First, he served Alan to get dressed, and then helped Alan come over to put on his cotton-padded clothes and comb his hair.

"Is there cold food in the kitchen?" Chuemon couldn't make up his mind, so he wasn't ready to wait for breakfast step by step.

"some."

Our family is not like the Jia Mansion in the later period of "Dream of Red Mansions". You from the East Mansion came to Jia's mother to eat. Even a good bowl of rice was not enough to eat, so You could only eat what the maids eat. The chef had to prepare a lot of food no matter what, and Chuemon would have it right away if he wanted to.

Just as he was talking, he saw that Terazawa Shintaro had stood up and was doing gymnastics with the guards of Chuemon in the courtyard. He used to get up early in the morning and go to the river with Hachiro Amano to practice swordsmanship. Back then, the two of them had a bit of a sense of chicken dancing.

Now Hachiro Amano was instructed to serve as the general's guard, and Omoo, who stayed in the main castle of Edo, could no longer practice swordsmanship with Hachiro Amano. I can only dance at home with a dozen of Chuemon's guards.

"Sintaro, stop jumping, clean up."

The group simply ate two large bowls of tea and rice, and then escorted Chuemon to go out. Chuemon got on his horse, but stopped, not knowing where to go.

"His Royal Highness?" Terazawa Shintaro also rode a horse. Although he was a valet attache to Chuemon, he naturally had to ride a horse when he reached his rank.

"Hmm..." Chuemon pondered for a while.

There are two directions, either to Edo Castle or to the base camp. Edo Castle will open at about six o'clock, because the people who bring the daily fresh ingredients to the shogun have started to deliver food into the city. The general shogunate samurai, from seven o'clock to nine o'clock, will also come to the castle in an endless stream.

As for the barracks under the castle, it is also the station of the first Edo division. In addition to the open holiday, expatriate, and troops left behind on many forts in Edo Bay, there are more than 7,000 troops in the camp. Soon I will get up and go out to exercise. After the exercise is done, it is breakfast.

Usually, Songping Qi Xuanhui entered the camp first, followed the soldiers out for exercise, then finished eating, and then went to the city for official business. Although Chuemon was also concerned about military affairs, he could not practice with the soldiers every day.

"Go to the barracks first." After hesitating for a while, Chuemon chose to go to the barracks.

With a groaning rhythm under his crotch, he stepped out of the Edogawa Mansion with his four hoofs stepping on the thin snow. More than a dozen guards followed, leaving a series of footprints.

………………

"How's it going?" Lin Hachiro was also on the horse, and the number of soldiers who were carried to the station by him was far less than 3,000.

"It's only about two thousand..." Shibukawa Zensuke, who had roughly counted it, turned pale.

It's not that I'm anxious or uncomfortable, it's just that it's been freezing all night outside. Seeing that 2,000 people had gathered, he was actually quite satisfied.

"Two thousand..." Lin Hachiro estimated that this number of people was almost enough.

"No wait, hand out the weapons immediately and drive!"

It was still an hour before the train arrived in Edo, and before Edo had fully woken up from his sleep, he had to be caught off guard by hitting Edo Castle. That way, we can make a quick decision, and face the white general.

"Okay!" The copper whistle in Shibukawa Zensuke's mouth kept blowing. Except for the five or six hundred people from their headquarters who got into the car in an orderly manner, the remaining two thousand people were messy, crowded, and dawdling.

It was also thanks to Lin Hachiro that he was decisive enough to stop waiting. Otherwise, just getting on the train at the station may not be able to load all the people in half an hour.

The car they got on was naturally the last train from yesterday. When I arrived in Yokohama, I found that Yokohama Station was a mess. When he was about to set off, there were already rioters coming to **** the red copper. The staff in the station were either beaten away or frightened. Who would have thought that there would be a mutiny while driving a train.

By the time someone remembered to report to the telegraph office next to the station, Shibukawa Zensuke had already killed him. The telegraph office sent a blank report to Edo, and the wire was cut by Shibukawa Zensuke.

"Where's the artillery?" Lin Hachiro hadn't gotten into the car, and looked for Takahashi Taro from left to right.

"It's been pushed into the car, it's just a

I'm afraid I can't go by car. "Taro Takahashi is so cold in this cold weather, UU is so busy reading www.uukanshu.com that he is sweating and his hands are very dirty.

An army of 2,780 people still needs weapons and ammunition, and even carries a dozen warhorses and two cannons.

"Then you detain the next train, I'll go first!" Lin Hachiro could only assign like this.

There were only more than 500 cadres in the army, and now they had to divide a part out to imprison the second vehicle, so the first round of troops that went straight to Edo Castle would be reduced again.

This was completely unplanned at the beginning of the army, and it was his mistake. I can only hope that the interval between the two trains will not be too long, and it will be able to connect at that time.

"Okay!" Takahashi Taro agreed quickly, gave Lin Hachiro a high five, turned around and left.

The train started humming, and the British driver who was forced to drive didn't know how many times he scolded mother in his heart. Obviously saw the British Minister Alcock's people, but when Lin Hachiro and the others got in the car, Alcock was let go. There was no intention to rescue him as a British citizen at all.

By the way, there is another one, which is also a more important part of Lin Hachiro's whole plan, and it was not achieved in the end.

Wrapping loose and leveling Qi Xuan!

They wanted to search for Matsudaira Qixuan in Yokohama, but after gathering information from various aspects, Matsudaira Qixuan went to the Naraya Yokohama branch after leaving the Yokohama government office. But by the time they rushed to Naraya, Naraya was already empty.

Important account books, cash and other items were taken away, and no one was missing. The clues were interrupted, and the field battalion never returned the news that Songping Qixuan had returned to the battalion to reorganize his troops. Such a big living person seemed to have just disappeared.
