Remember [New] for a second,! After all, the living will make trouble, the dead have become ashes, and they can't make trouble if they want to make trouble. First settle the owed wages of the living, and then consider the settlement of the pensions of the dead.

If it's a big deal, the death notice will be withheld, and the notice will be sent when the money is received. If the family members received the death notice and also attached one hundred taels of gold, there would be no trouble after all.

"How long does the British envoy Alcock return to Edo?" Matsudaira Qixuan nodded.

"Seven or eight days at the latest?" Wuyang Enomoto said.

Because of the growing prosperity of trade with Japan, the route from India to Singapore, to Hong Kong or Shanghai, and then to Yokohama has already matured. There are regular cruises every month, and the training team uses the Tokugawa cruise ship, and Alcock will come back slowly by cruise.

It was mainly for wrangling with Viscount Canning.

"This time, the British cost a lot of money." Songping Qi Xuan also wanted to know how much it would cost to fight a battle that lasted two years and used hundreds of thousands of troops.

"I don't know the real number yet, but I heard that it will cost 40 million!" Hijikata Suishan said this with two points of surprise.

"Forty million!"

Upon hearing this number, Songping Qi Xuan's mouth opened involuntarily. There are more than 200 fiefdoms in Japan with shogunate leaders from abroad. It is difficult to say whether they can receive 40 million yuan a year. The British will spend 40 million yuan to fight a local war. This is really strong. Been through the shogunate too much.

And the British have the strength to print degrees, so naturally they have the strength to fight the shogunate. Qian Er and Qing were beaten to the point of signing the "Tianjin Treaty". He was really a powerful man who caught and beat whom.

"The shogunate is still weak, not as good as the British eleven." The two sighed at the same time.

"Let's not talk about it, you two are still leading the team as usual. Yokohama is a residential area, so don't cause trouble." Matsudaira Qixuan's health is not as good as before, and his energy is naturally not so abundant, so let's talk about it today.

Just listening to Matsudaira Qixuan speak like a broken bellows, Hijikata Toshizo and Enomoto Takeyo knew that Matsudaira Qixuan's health was not as good as before. Now that Songping Qixuan had spoken, they also retreated and went back to restrain the soldiers from mentioning it.

A few days later, Songping Qixuan personally went to the company to learn about the situation of the soldiers. He used to do this often. When he was in good health, he even got up to do morning exercises with the soldiers. If it weren't for him exercising so vigorously and in good health, he would have been bombed twice with another weak chicken, and he would have been begging for death before he could make it to Osaka.

The first person to visit is the wounded soldier. He was wounded in the humid, hot and rainy places in India. Even minor injuries are fine. If you have suffered a more serious trauma, if one is not handled properly, maggots will be born in the wound within two days.

Originally on the Crimean battlefield, the field hospital presided over by the medical angel Nightingale reduced the mortality rate of wounded soldiers from 42% to 2.2%, which should be regarded as a miracle in the army.

It's just that Nurse Nightingale did not go to the Indian battlefield to preside over field nursing. The nursing school she founded did not officially start to recruit students until 1860.

Therefore, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers on the Indian battlefield is still very high, and those who can survive back to Japan are mainly due to acclimatization and injuries caused by infectious diseases. Or patients who have their arms and thighs removed and need to wait for further maintenance.

The military doctor in the army also talked about the care of wounded soldiers, and Songping Qi Xuan took it in his heart. This is also a kind of education. It happened to fall under his jurisdiction, and according to the introduction of the military doctor, the nursing staff were not like doctors. The immediate need is primarily nursing, not healing, and a year or two of education is sufficient.

In addition, Japan itself does not have that kind of very strict defense of men and women, and the social atmosphere should be more open. Tokugawa Ieyasu's childless concubines can be given to retainers, and Morimoto also gave his concubine to retainers.

As for the Edo Castle, the extremely prosperous Fengyue industry, that is not to mention. When Chuemon was young, he and Sukeroku took a bath in the small bathhouse in the alley, and they could eat meat. Ordinary people are actually quite open about the relationship between the sexes.

Most of those Ukiyo-e paintings are **** little illustrations. Men buy, women also buy, one by one sells very well, the market is extremely welcome.

If one hundred or ten women were recruited to study nursing, the field hospital would be able to have a better level of nursing in future wars and reduce the mortality rate of wounded soldiers. They can also provide nursing services for hospitals or powerful families and earn a certain income.

While chatting with the military doctor, the subordinates reported that the British envoy Alcock had returned to Yokohama. He heard that Songping Qi Xuan was in Hong Kong and invited him for a while.

Just come!

Matsudaira Qi Xuan was just looking for Alcock. Since your kid is back, you have to talk about the owes and pensions.

As a result, Songping Qixuan did not speak, and Alcock spoke first. He neither recited poor scriptures nor spit bitterness, and gave money very happily.

Give you two hundred thousand first!

Matsudaira Qixuan, who got the money, couldn't open his mouth for a while. Enomoto Wuyang behind him reminded him that this amount of money was not enough to cover one-third of the total debt, so what was it for.

Yes, Songping Qixuan put away the money, turned around and asked Alcock, how to give the remaining hundreds of thousands? It is best to pay immediately, if you can't pay, you can delay for a few days. You have to give me the money. Thousands of soldiers under me all have guys in their hands.

If you don't settle them~lightnovelpub.net~ What if you are directly in Yokohama? Although Yokohama is in Japan, the inside and outside of this city are all your British property. What is lost, you Brits cry.

The words will definitely not be so blatant, Songping Qixuan can still restrain, and when negotiating with Alcock, he only showed a slight threat.

Alcock is also a bachelor. He said that India has become a white land, and Viscount Canning really doesn't have that much money on hand. The shogunate will wait a little longer. When Viscount Canning goes to London to cry and be poor, then the reimbursement will come, and the rest will be paid to the shogunate.

Moreover, Daiying and the shogunate can be considered pleasant cooperation. In the future, there will be opportunities to borrow soldiers. This money will definitely not depend on you. Don't worry, you can still rely on you for hundreds of thousands to bring the British Empire?

Although he didn't know about Daiying's glorious deeds in selling his teammates in history, Songping Qi Xuan knew that the soldiers in the training team were holding a sigh of relief.

"So, how long will it take Viscount Canning to go to London for reimbursement?" Matsudaira Qi Xuan asked for an accurate time.

"This year's budget council has already approved it. Probably next year's budget can approve this money."
