(It is said that at the beginning, Jingyi Zhibi historically asked the princes to go to the Ezo to reclaim the wasteland. The background is that the princes attacked it in groups and prepared to build a bridge to celebrate. It may be to exclude dissidents, so Jing Yizhi issued the princes to develop Ezo. Order. As for the fate of the Ainu, you should all know it.)

Hearing that Hori Toshihiro, who had heard the Edo imperial order, was pacing back and forth in the official hall, he had spent half his life in Ezo, and felt a little unwilling in his heart. If such an order is allowed to be implemented in Ezo, then the 20,000 Ainu families of Ezo will surely rise up and the other way around.

At that time, the situation of Ezo will be ruined, and the whole territory will be eroded. Even if the shogunate dispatched troops and quelled the riots in Ezo, the development achievements of these years would all be wasted.

Those small villages and small fish ports that are close to the Ainu people are completely defenseless. Even a big city like Hakodate may not have any defense ability.

For what!

After thinking about it, Hori Toshiyuki brought over Takeyo Enomoto, who had just been demoted. Originally, the two of them went to Sapporo to take office together. Enomoto Takeyo is a subordinate of Hori Toshihiko, Sapporo and power.

Now that Hakodate's post has been abolished, in theory, everyone including Hori Toshiki should wait in Hakodate for the new Ezo pioneering ambassador to take office. Then complete the handover, and then talk about other things.

However, Toshihiro Hori believes that once the matter waits for the new Ezo pioneer to take office, it will be almost irreversible. Therefore, after all kinds of thinking, Hori Toshihi asked Enomoto Takeyo to carry out the nursing box house, and he personally rushed to Edo to tell the elders of Ii about the interests, so that the elders of Ii took his order back.

When Enomoto Takeyo heard the words, he persuaded Toshihiro Hori. Naobi Ii was such a tough person. Once he identified a path, it was impossible for him to turn around or stop. This year, there is no one who can persuade him. If you go, it will be in vain.

Takeyo Enomoto, who had just been demoted, still knew the situation of the princes of Edo very well, and he persuaded Toshihiro Hori with his heart.

After listening to his words, Hori Toshihi admitted that he had indeed heard that Naobi Ii was a tough person. But on the one hand, he spent half his life in Ezo, and he didn't want to be completely destroyed because of it. The second thing is that he is the standard of the Tokugawa clan, and has served the Tokugawa family for more than 200 years.

So even if something goes wrong, it is nothing more than demoting an official. Isn't it the same for Enomoto Takeyo, because of his family background, everyone will come back to protect him when something goes wrong. The flag is a fairly small group, which can be understood as the flag next door. If something happens to the flag, or one of the leaders will pull it.

It's not a big crime of rebellion and treason. Offending Shangfeng is nothing. He was sent far away and went to Nagasaki to pursue his post for a few years. Naobi Ii would be transferred back when he was old.

This is indeed the case, Enomoto Takeyo saw Hori Toshihi thinking like this, so he didn't persuade him. He arrived in Ezo for half a month, and also learned about the situation of Ezo. Knowing that the He clan and the Ainu live together, it would be inappropriate to suddenly change this situation.

Then go!

After arranging all the affairs, Enomoto Takeyo was left in Hakodate, and Hori Toshihiro got on a large ship that took whale oil to Yokohama for delivery and rushed to Edo.

The boat is a steam boat and goes fast. The whaling ships in the Kuril Islands delivered the whale oil to the boxhouse last year, and it was originally said to be delivered directly to the Americans at the boxhouse. I don't know what's going on with the Americans, they come less than in previous years, and I don't understand. Just as the British said they wanted it, they sent a boat to Yokohama.

Yokohama, as the most dynamic place in Japan, has no sign of encountering a mutiny at this time. The whole port is prosperous, and people come and go in the town. But there are indeed a lot more foreign soldiers on patrol, and at every street intersection, there is a fixed sentry as a guard.

The Yokohama Railway Station, which was destroyed by the fire before, is also being repaired at this time. When Hori Toshihi took office that year, there were no trains. I came back soon and stood outside the station, still a little confused.

"Yeah, isn't this Oribe-sama." A samurai Hamoto who was hanging around at the ticket office of Yokohama Station greeted Toshinori Hori.

"Oh, it's Qi Nosuke." Hori Toshihi saw that he was the son of another family of flags on the street next to him.

It's easy to do things with acquaintances. The young Qimoto, called Qi Zhisuke, greeted his colleagues on the left and right, and put up a sign in front of his ticket booth that no tickets were sold. He skipped work and took Toshiy Hori to the car. .

The Qi Zhisuke family is only five hundred stone, and the Hori Rishi family is three thousand stone. It is normal to rush to help.

"Learning about your family's family style, how can you do a ticket sale?" Hori Rishi was brought into the station with a ticket, so naturally he was at peace, and began to ask this and that.

"Hey, my father retired at the end of the year, and I came in. According to Edogawa's rules, no matter how many stones come in, he has to do chores for one to two years and be familiar with the joints on the railway." Qi Zhi Helpful.

He is a **** in his class, and he just skips work and brags about Rixi Hori during working hours. However, he was still acquainted, at least he did the job of a ticket inspector, standing at the bayonet, while telling passengers to show their tickets, while bragging to Hori Toshihi.

"It's good on the railway. I heard that there is a double salary every year? I'll give you a lot at the end of the year." Hori Toshihi smiled, the times have really developed.

The more you develop, the more prosperous you will be. When you are prosperous, you will have money. If you are rich, everyone will be able to make double stipends, and everyone will benefit. It is still necessary to maintain the achievements of development and must not destroy them.

"For General Feng Gong!" The young man raised his eyebrows, quite happy.

Half of Qibenyu's family did not make up for the three major clubs. He made up for it, and he was happy with the money. He was a nine-to-five, but he could not be loyal and brave for the general.

"Hahahahaha... Yokohama has gotten better and better in recent years." Hori Toshihime met his old friend as soon as he came here, saving a lot of trouble, and still in a good mood.

"That's not right, I'll show you something good." Qi Zhisuke picked up his whistle and blew.

There was a hawker selling things in the station. The three major clubs did not have salespersons on the station and train. However, the Tokaido main railway line was opened, and now the train is 30-40 kilometers per hour, and the entire Tokaido main line is nearly 600 kilometers. In addition to the stopping time of each station, the train has to take a day and a night.

So eating in the car or something is a must. Naturally, the station masters of the station let those who have a little relationship with them enter the station and the carriages to sell bento and tea.

It is convenient for others and convenient for yourself.

The hawker who came running handed Qi Zhisuke a glass bottle. Qi Zhisuke asked him to open the cork, and the air actually spewed out, just like opening the lid of beer. Hori Rixi had never seen such a thing before, and was a little surprised.

"This is soda, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, please have a drink." Qi Zhisuke smiled. He is a nineteen-year-old who is already an adult in theory, but what's wrong with drinking soda.

Today's sodas can't hold their breath. They are filled on-site, and they have to be drunk on the spot. After drinking, the glass bottles have to be recycled on-site. But it's already a very novel thing, with orange flavor and apple flavor.

"Oops..." Hori Rixi took a sip, an unprecedented feeling.

"British stuff, it's pretty good." That's not just good. It's even more delicious when you drink it iced in summer.

"The so-called civilized civilization, this is also one of them."

After taking another sip, Hori Rishi felt that the times had really changed. There are such delicious sodas these days. It would be a pity if they were to be destroyed.

"Hey, hurry up and drink, your car will have to leave in a while. Do you want to order a lunch box for you?" Qi Zhisuke looked at the hanging clock in the station.

"Oh oh oh, wait a moment." Hori Toshihi took two sips, finished the soda, and hiccupped, very happy.

Then he carried a lunch box that Qi Zhisuke gave him, and sat in the first-class carriage. The flight attendant looked at his acquaintance with Qi Zhisuke, and arranged a soft seat for him by the window.
