At the end of the end, Elgin said if there is anything full of Japanese exoticism, give me a few. Not only is it used as a favor, but it is also convenient for him to fill in the warehouse collection for Queen Victoria.

Chuemon has more than 200,000 gold coins, so do you still care about an exotic style?

Let Suke six take Sir Lawrence to open the Jinzang in Edo, and the warehouse of Kanei Temple directly. Take whatever you like, take two more, and count me as a thank you gift to Earl Elgin. Of course, if Sir Lawrence likes something, he will also give him two old bags.

If Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that sending some exotic flavors could open up the territory, you should see if he woke up in the coffin.

Sir Lawrence's aesthetics are similar to those who like to be gorgeous, graceful and extravagant these days. He doesn't like Japanese knives or tea utensils very much. However, I admired the Chunqing lacquer ware made of gold lacquer and the Wajima lacquer ware, so I immediately offered two sets.

There is a flower name, Shen Jin Luo Pheasant Chun Qing Tu.

The bird painted with gold powder on it is very artistic, and Zu Liu remembers it as if it was given to the general by which of the princes. Anyway, lying in the warehouse, it may not be used for decades, and it will be given away.

Then Sir Lawrence took a fancy to a few figures and landscape screens, all decorated with gold lacquer, without any accident. There were the Edo period, the Mount Fuji festival, and the North Korean messenger who went to the city to visit the scene, and they picked up six more for Lawrence.

Other than that, don't need it anymore, just pick a big knife that is beautifully dressed, which is included.

Earl Elgin left contentedly, and he promised to help the shogunate get things done. But when the UK is about to start building a new ironclad ship, the shogunate had better keep up, and don't be too cold to take Ying's father's heart.

Don't worry, understand, it's right!

As soon as he left, in Yokohama, the British soldiers who spent a small amount of money and worked hard and had to hit the ground with their feet would naturally have to leave.

Before we leave, let's be sincere and be sincere. Shigeru Nara moved out the whole box of gold. You know what a piece of **** antiques are. That big vase is worthless if it is smashed across the ocean. Song paintings floating in the sea will be useless. It's all done for me.

The British soldiers who spent half a month in Yokohama had long been emptied by those dear Japanese girls. At this moment, they thought that if they sold one, they would also sell them, and if they sold two, they would also sell them. After they were sold, they would bring the money home and take them home.

So calligraphy and painting are boxed, large pieces are punched, pearls, jades and jadeites are divided into jins, and the money is given in one hand and the goods in the other. Even Elgin and Lawrence were tempted. There were some things they couldn't appreciate at all, so they sold them all for gold.

By the way, Elgin got a hint before leaving England, and Earl Canning has been in India for a long time. Elgin, as an "Asian expert", has a great possibility to serve as the governor of India after he has made military exploits.

May be possible, money must be used.

Even if there is support from the top, it has to be settled everywhere. To be the last governor of India, you must not make at least one million or two million fortune, the kind that will not be enough for three generations of descendants. I don't know how many people are staring at this most dazzling pearl in the crown of the British Empire, and Elgin is also slandering.

For the sake of my Indian Governor, I'd better change it into cash so that I can go back to London for activities. After a wave of emptying, the British ships were half lighter. British troops up and down, all pockets full, golden.

Not much to say, not much to say, it cost about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, basically wrapping up the things of the British army on these three ships.

The British were overjoyed, their boat went on the front foot, and an American boat on the back quickly entered the Yokohama Port, and finally brought the news that Chuemon had been secretly waiting for in his heart.

The American Civil War begins!

After the Republican President Lincoln officially succeeded to the presidency of the United States of America, the slave-owning states of the South publicly announced their secession from the Union and established the Confederate States of America, with Jefferson Davis as president.

At Fort Sumter, the two sides finally launched a substantial "hot war". It's no longer something that's on the verge of breaking out, but a veritable split into two nations that begins a protracted, massive civil war.

The British and French ministers in Yokohama, as well as Yokohama Jodaihori Rimong, were surprised when they learned that the civil war broke out in the United States. The United States and Japan have already established a very prosperous trade. Now because of the civil war, what will happen can only be guessed.

"So, the civil war in the United States has been going on for several months?" Chuemon had expected it in his heart, but he still had to pretend a little doubt on his face.

"According to what was said in the emergency report, it is true." Hori Rimono, who had rarely returned to Edo, responded loudly to Chuemon.

The reason why there is an emergency report is actually very simple. The American Civil War, the cotton cloth that was originally made of cotton from the southern United States and then spun into it, is now gone. The South does not supply cotton to the North, and the supply contracts signed by American businessmen and Yokohama compradors cannot be fulfilled.

After those American businessmen received news of the outbreak of the civil war on the West Coast, they panicked and immediately sent a clipper ship across the Pacific to report the news to Yokohama.

As for the official announcement from the Washington government? That doesn't exist. The US ambassador to Japan, Harris, ran away last Christmas, and the US has not sent a new minister to Japan. Lincoln succeeded in March this year, and he will definitely send envoys to come again, but with the current level of traffic in this year, this person can at least arrive in the second half of the year.

"What's going on with the American businessmen in Hong Kong?" Chuemon thought to himself that the main exports of the Americans to Japan were manufactured goods. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Now that the war is over, there are still ships in the United States. Will they be shipped to Japan? Or does the United States have to have some weapons orders or something to send to Japan?

After all, the Civil War mobilized more than three million troops to fight, and the governments of the North and South did everything possible to manufacture and purchase weapons to equip the troops to fight. Did the Tokugawa shogunate have a chance to find some orders in the middle?

According to Chuemon's memory, the Americans even ordered weapons and guns from Austria and Hungary. Basically, the countries on earth that can produce modern weapons are within the scope of purchases by the governments of the North and South.

"Although the American businessmen were not in a mess, they were also a little panicked." Hori Rimeng recalled.

"Try to understand the plot." Chuemon has no way to directly understand the situation in the United States, and can only start from the American businessmen.

The other is to immediately send someone to find Oguri Tadashun, who was sent to the Americas. After he left Hawaii, he should have moved to South America. After he entered the United States, Chuemon asked him not to show the attitude of the Tokugawa shogunate immediately, and to see if he could seek some benefit for the shogunate in this war.
