Edo Traveler

v2 Chapter 42: I can rest assured

   is really someone who will come!

   What else is this to say, hurry up and take someone to fight the fire. In Edo, a city built entirely of wood, it is definitely a very bold act to dare to set fire.

   Tadaemon feels that this Abe Fukuyama Hou is also a character. We just thought here that this Fukuyama Hou has already taken action, and it seems that the action has been very successful, and the Fukuyama clan residence has fallen into flames.

   I don’t care about dinner anymore, so Chuemon put on his shoes and ran out peacefully. Along the way, the fire saw the oars beating the bronze bells or gongs frantically, and the town fires in the towns were hurriedly replaced with haori decorated with various patterns, and they ran to the place where the fire broke out with a long ladder rope, which was originally a peaceful street. Standing full of people who came out to check.

   Fortunately, after taking office, Chuyouemon and Heizao did not slack off, and they talked with the team leaders of the forty-seven group of town fires one by one. Although not forty-seven names blurted out, at least one can recognize one familiar.

   The Fukuyama clan’s residence was on fire. Naturally, it was impossible for the entire Edo firefighter to be dispatched. All the nearby firefighters were dispatched, while the other firefighters were assembled on standby. If the fire cannot be controlled, call again.

  The method of extinguishing fire is not watering. Although the whole Edo is connected by a canal, there are various rivers everywhere, so it is very convenient to get water. But after all, there is no pressurized water gun, and relying on humans to lift water to extinguish the fire is basically a joke.

   There are also "water dragons", but there are not so long water pipes, and when the water pipe is long, the water pressure will be insufficient. It has great limitations and cannot be widely adopted in a sudden fire.

   Therefore, the local fire fighters generally don't go directly to put out the fire, but instead gather teams to watch the fire scene in an all-round way!

   It is naturally impossible to see people being burned. They are checking the fire situation, watching the burning degree of the fire, and judging the possible direction of the fire, combining with the wind and weather conditions in the city at this time, and proceeding to the next step of fighting the fire.

   There was no wind tonight. The fire in the Fukuyama Mansion was naturally near the bedroom of Masahiro Abe. Now a large courtyard has spread. The Fukuyama clan residence, which has tens of thousands of flats, shows the atmosphere of Bingo's eleven thousand stone big names. It is really a big sound when it burns, and it is more powerful than the fireworks on the Sumida River.

   After making a rough judgment, the town fire fighters started their fire fighting operations. Except for leaving a handful of fire fighters to instruct the Fukuyama clan’s personnel to carry water to extinguish the fire, all the others began to rush down the wind.

The downwind is the residence of the Ikeda clan of the Hokage Yoniko clan. It stands to reason that the Ikeda clan was also a big family under the framework of the Tokugawa shogunate because of the existence of Ikeda Terumasa. At its peak, the entire family had a huge family of more than one million shi. Industry. So Naokatsu Nagai, who even sought Ikeda Hunxing, was promoted all the way from the five thousand stone flags to the name of 72,000 stone in order to be worthy of the Ikeda family's Xuanhe.

  One of the reasons is that you can't let a humble little Flagmoto ask for the lord of the clan of Ikeda Million Stone!

   Less gossip, the town fire fighters don't care what Yonago clan, Ikeda million stone and the like are at all. They just beat gongs and drums to tell the people inside to escape quickly, and then they took the big mallet and slammed directly through the gate of the Yonago clan residence. In the exclamation of everyone in Yonago's mansion, dozens of heavy long ladders smashed directly on the roof.

   Another vigorous fireman climbed up the roof along the long ladder, knocked down the roof tiles, and tied the ropes to both sides of the beams. The people in the house ran out in a panic. Regardless of whether there was anyone in the house, dozens of people shouted in unison and pulled the beam down. The house was smashed and pulled, and within a short while, it became a pile of rubble.

   Of course, the fire fighters won't stop there. One room has fallen and more rooms need to be pushed. For the samurai who ran out to stop the Yonago clan residence, these fire fights were not soft at all. Whoever dared to step forward to stop them was just a fist. After the beaters rolled around on the ground, they picked them up and threw them aside at random.

   It stands to reason that the samurai can drew his sword and kill them all. This is no longer a simple act of scorning the samurai, it can be regarded as insulting and hurting the samurai, but it is a waste of fight. The fire extinguishers are all for fire fighting, to protect the safety of millions of people under Edo Castle, and even the safety of General Tokugawa in Edo Castle.

   You can sue it as you please. It is useless to tell the imperial court. His Royal Highness will give you at most two taels of soup and medicine, and let you buy a few packs of granulated sugar to make the sugar water and drink it at home. As for what kind of punishment, there has never been, and there will never be any.

   If the fire extinguishers are punished, who will rescue the fire in Edo in the future? Do you rely on the duty of firefighting by the lords? Sorry, the shogunate also stipulated that the soldiers and horses of the princes in the castle mansion were not allowed to run randomly, especially large-scale running around. In the past, one of the major reasons why the fire fighting in Edo was not timely was that the soldiers and horses of the princes who had the duty to fight the fire could only stay in the mansion and wait for the shogunate’s order, and then went out to fight the fire and waited for the day lily. It's cold.

   Fortunately, at this time, Masahiro Abe sent someone to tell Yonago's left-behind family elders that all losses to the Yonago clan's residence would be borne by him. The buildings demolished now will be built by the Fukuyama clan as they are in the future. The people of Yonago clan no longer stop them. If you want to come to the dignified shogunate to represent the important ministers, the temples believe that Abe Masahiro is a person who will do what he says.

  Tadaemon was very proficient in seeing a crowd of fire fighters. He didn't need much command and intervention. He finally relieved his mind and had some leisure to look at our Fukuyamahou Abe Masahiro.

   only saw Masahiro Abe's complexion faint, and even a hint of joy of victory was revealed, and he didn't seem to care about putting out the fire in his home.

   To be honest, Tadaoemon wanted to run next to Masahiro Abe and yelled "Your mother..."

   呸 呸 呸 呸 呸! I made a mistake, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said "Your house is gone!"

   But looking at Abe Masahiro's appearance, it is obvious that he is not worried about the loss of his home. Maybe even the heart is still hoping that the fire will be bigger and the whole home will be burned down, so that it will be more convincing in the future.

   When the case is over, Tokugawa Ieki casually drops a piece of melon and two dates between his fingers, and the Fukuyama clan residence can be built immediately. Compared with the future, the Fukuyama clan residence in front of me is just a trivial matter, and there is nothing to care about.

   "Seeing that Fukuyama Hou is okay, the lower officials are finally relieved." Chuemon stepped forward to meet Masahiro Abe. As for this peace of mind, naturally there are several layers of peace of mind.

   "It's okay, it's just a walk of the water, nothing serious." Masahiro Abe nodded slightly.

   Look at this, don’t worry if I do things!
