Tokugawa Ieaki, who was holding a wine glass, heard the news, his eyes widened unimaginably, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously. The wine poured in the glass, smudging a large piece of clothing.

　　 Ningbo!

　　 may be out of Zhejiang Province in later generations, not many people know about it. Although it is a city with a separate plan, it is also a sub-provincial city, but what about it? Of course, loneliness and namelessness is not enough, but there is no mention of the name Zhen Kyushu. It is even more ridiculous to say that everyone is well-known abroad.

　　 But that is for later generations. In today's Japan, Ningbo is different!

　　 As a window city for trade and exchanges with Japan since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Tang, Song, and Yuan three generations are unparalleled as the largest port to Japan. It doesn't matter if he is called Mingzhou, Qingyuan, or Ningbo. Even in the Ming Dynasty, it was also a major port for Japan's tributary trade, and the sails in the port were innumerable.

　　So much so that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the second man in the world during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, made plans to attack the mainland. He planned to use Shuntenfu, the capital of the capital, and the surrounding 20 states to settle the emperor and officials. On the contrary, it was Ningbo and the surrounding area of ​​Ningbo, he was prepared to leave it to himself, and build a residential city based on it.

　　 I just want to make a comparison. In the eyes of the Japanese, Ningbo is the most important town in the world that can be compared with Jingshi and Yingtian!

　　 So two years ago, I heard that Guangzhou of the Qing Dynasty was lost, and then I heard that Xiamen was lost and Dinghai was lost. If you lose it, you will lose it. There are tens of thousands of miles in the Qing Dynasty, and there are thousands of cities. Someday there will be no two civil revolts, and one or two cities will be lost.

　　On the Tokugawa shogunate side, it is not that Jinya and acting officials were attacked by peasants. And it's not once or twice. There are so many things like disasters every time.

　　 is like an Englishman, what kind of thing, isn't it just breaking a Guangzhou city. It's just a small place. As for Hong Kong Island, I have never heard of it. At first glance, it looks like a maru mustard moss, which is not enough. The next door, Qing Guoxiong, has a million troops. The North Korean life that was beaten back then can't take care of himself, and defeating such a powerful soldier in the future is definitely not a good match.

　　 At most, it was because the country was so big that it was attacked by the British. It is not a matter of a word as long as you bring your time and energy, mobilize strong troops and courage to destroy the little British thieves.

　　 Before the merchant ships of the Qing country came to Nagasaki to trade, they sent the news that Guangzhou had fallen, and Nagasaki did not take it seriously, although it was also submitted to Edo. But after reading it, Tokugawa Ieki and Mizuno Tadakuni, and the others, with a "Oh", casually discarded the report.

　　 is just a mere mere Guangzhou, and it's not that a famous city has fallen. The British heard that there were no 20,000 soldiers before and after, even my shogunate should be able to cope with it easily. How could Taiqing not be able to cope with it?

　　 Naturally, those who reported the news were not as big as the incident of Chuemon’s catching traitors in Edo. The Edo people who would catch rapes are well known, women, children, old and young are all talking about it, and the gossip is flying all over the world.

　　 The news of the fall of Xiamen and Dinghai reached Nagasaki, but there was no wave in Gujing, and there was no ripple. Knowing that not long ago, the trade wind had arrived again, and the Qing merchant ship sailed into Nagasaki and informed Tang Feng of the Nagasaki Office of the Official Office of the loss of Ningbo. Nagasaki pursued a great movement, thinking that Taiqing line would collapse and perish, and immediately spread this explosive news to Edo.

　　 What else did you say?

　　 Tokugawa Kayuki is anxious, and watching the opening ceremony of the hammer, the foreign devil has already hit the next door!

　　 Ieaki Tokugawa, who got up abruptly, immediately ordered all the old Nakatojos to discuss the matter. What kind of countermeasures should the shogunate take in such a major event that shakes the entire East Asia.

　　 Notice that Ningbo was lost in October last year. It has been almost half a year since the news reached Edo. According to the speed of the British sailing, I am afraid that this meeting has already rushed to Dagukou, and it is about to break the Jingshi Shuntian Palace.

　　 It is even possible that the capital has already been broken at this time. After all, even a famous city like Ningbo has fallen. The strength of the British may be strong enough to be invincible, and the capital is just a little far away.

　　 It is also inexplicable that the elders who were suddenly summoned to the city are also inexplicable. Now the world is peaceful in Japan, and neither serious floods nor droughts, nor serious civil commotions have occurred. The old Naka Sanada Yukuki who stayed behind in Edo Castle would simply deal with it by himself. Why would it be necessary for all six old Nakas to be in the city?

　　How big is it to make Tokugawa Kayuki look like this? Could it be Tokugawa's sudden death? This is indeed an earth-shattering event. However, although Tokugawa Iamatsu is weak, he has never said anything about the deterioration~lightnovelpub.net~ How could it be a good person? If you say nothing, then there is nothing.

Mizuno Tadakuni led the ascent of the castle, followed by Horida Masaru, Doi Tori, Inoue Masaharu, and Mabe Tsutsuki. Doi Toi was deliberately separated from Mizuno Tadakuni by a certain distance. The political views of the two were not the same. Conflict with each other. There is nothing to talk about political opponents, only that there is no solid unity.

　　 After waiting for the six elders to settle down, the small surname guided Tokugawa Jiaqing into the house. It's not to summon the princes now, so there is nothing like a curtain in front of Tokugawa Ieki, and everyone can directly see Tokugawa Ieki's expression.

　　 The tension and panic on Tokugawa Kayuki's face are unobstructed, and he is not a wise man in his own right. Now that the mood is all expressed on the face, let the old center chuckle.

　　 "Nagasaki's memorial report, you will circulate it first." Tokugawa Isaiah waved his hand and asked Xiaoxing to hand the memorial report to Mizuno.

　　 Mizuno Tadabang lowered his head and took the report. He just glanced at it and was shocked by the news of Ningbo's fall. Because the British who broke Ningbo now, they sent ships to the sea outside Uraga a few years ago to try to invest in the Tokugawa shogunate for business.

　　 At that time, Uraga followed the shogunate’s policy of shutting down the country, as well as the expulsion order of foreign ships, and directly fired at British ships, even hitting British ships.

　　 is simply the best reason for war in the world!

　　 Right, I brought the British Empire, with the "friendly sincerity" of "peaceful trade", and submitted a letter to the Tokugawa shogunate, but the shogunate did not agree to it. It even launched an attack on the "unarmed" peaceful diplomatic vessel and damaged the British vessel. This is a serious provocation and a direct warning of war!

　　 I have a legitimate reason to bring the British to declare war on the Tokugawa Shogunate!
