His Majesty, the King of the Netherlands, is called William II, which coincidentally is not, and will be called the same emperor in the future. However, the William II did not leave much color in history. His father, King William I of the Netherlands, became dizzy because of the independence of the Belgian kingdom and directly abdicated to the virtuous.

　　 At this time, the king of Belgium was Leopold I, who was a legend. Because he was first elected as the king of Greece, but he didn't like the bad land of Greece, so he refused to do it. However, he was chosen as the king of Belgium.

Today’s Kingdom of the Netherlands is already a small role. It’s totally unimaginable that the “Sea Coachman” was a glorious scene in those days. The colony has basically been lighted up, and the mainland has been conquered by Napoleon, and it has degraded from a first-class power to a second-rate or even a third-rate. Goods slightly.

　　The overbearing power of the strong beam is finally destroyed, as if the dust is blowing in the wind!

　　 Probably because he was unable to control the direction of the country in his heart, being manipulated and controlled by the great powers, and feeling resentful, William II remembered the Tokugawa shogunate far away in East Asia. As a trading partner for hundreds of years, or even an exclusive trading partner, the relationship between the Netherlands and Japan is fairly good. For some reason, William II wrote a long letter to the Tokugawa Shogunate two years ago.

　　 The content of the letter is as Chuemon, which is actually very easy to inquire. Because William II's letter itself is not a secret letter, even in Nagasaki, those who are fluent in Dutch have been translated into Chinese and Japanese. Our general can't understand the original. There's no way.

　　 It is said that Qianlong next door can understand English, even his pet minister and Shen can understand English, but this is a minority after all. This world is probably the monarch of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who can learn more than eight languages ​​at the same time. As for our general, he can only speak Japanese and Chinese, and he doesn't know anything else.

　　 In addition to greeting Tokugawa Iamaki, William II solemnly reminded Tokugawa Iamaki that the world situation has changed. Western diplomatic systems and trade activities are spreading all over the world. Japan will not be able to stand alone and should actively participate. (Probably meaning, not originally)

　　 To put it bluntly, I just told Tokugawa Jiaqing that the Western powers are about to hit the door immediately. You should prepare quickly, don't think that you can live in a closed state for a lifetime.

　　 The Netherlands is actually quite righteous. If history does not change, he will warn the Shogunate in another ten years that the Americans will soon send warships to Edo Bay. And it's not a test by one or two. It's a complete squadron. It's going to be true with you. Hundreds of cannons are aimed at your Edo Castle. You can live without resistance.

　　Tadaemon, Sakuma Koyama, Takashima Akho, no matter how much lobbying, it is not as powerful as this letter from the King of the Netherlands!

　　 Tokugawa Ieki is stunned!

　　 Even Mizuno Tadakuni, who said he was sick at home, was once again summoned to the city. The proposal to rescue the exotic ships originally rejected by the other five veterans was once again introduced by Sanada Yukuki in public. Speaking of details, Sanada is definitely not as good as Chuemon and Sakuma Sakuma, the proponent of the founding theory of the future.

　　 Therefore, under the approval of Tokugawa Iekei, Chuemon and Sakuma Shoyama were able to ascend the castle and enter Central Olympics, directly in front of Tokugawa Iekei and the shogunate veterans, and stated the necessity of rescuing foreign ships.

　　 That's it!

　　 It is estimated that Tokugawa Kayuki has been bluffed by William II, and this return is just a formality, and it’s nothing more than to state the detailed items of the rescue of foreign wrecked ships. Therefore, Chungemon was not nervous at all. He just talked in front of a group of bigwigs. First, let's talk about the shogunate's habit of rescuing the wrecked ships of neighboring China and North Korea.

　　 are also wrecked ships, and one should not favor one another, only save this one, not that one. In the past, the shogunate did not accept ships from Western countries. One of the main reasons was to prevent missionaries from being on board.

　　 After Western missionaries entered Japan, in addition to changing Japan’s inherent beliefs in Shinto and Buddhism, they also had the motivation to be pioneers of Western colonists. There were even children who were abducted and sent to Luzon and Macau for brainwashing. After they were successfully washed, they were sent back to Japan to continue their preaching and became a matter of "two devils".

　　 And Christians, as a social instability factor in a sense, even launched the "Shimabara Rebellion," and the Shogunate used more than 200,000 troops to suppress it. For this reason, the shogunate's defense against Christianity was very deep. Those who refuse to convert are often executed by waterboarding.

　　 Now the general policy of shutting down the country is not changed, and foreign ships are still prohibited from docking, but they are allowed to ask for help from the shogunate. The shogunate can provide them with necessary food and drinking water, and even give them medicine and treatment, as long as they don't put people ashore.

　　 The key point is to release goodwill to the outside world through the issuance of an order to rescue the wandering ship~lightnovelpub.net~. Let the Western countries know that the shogunate is not hostile to other countries, but only wants to quietly maintain its own folk customs, and is unwilling to have too much contact with foreign countries. As long as foreign countries do not invade Japan by force, then everyone will be well.

　　 Of course, whether foreign countries are willing to listen to it is not known!

　　 A large group of tortoises, including Tokugawa Ieki, and Mizuno Tadakuni, knew that this matter was unavoidable, and finally unanimously approved Tadaemon's proposal. Promulgated the "Foreign Ship Fuel Fresh Water Supply Order", notified to the Dutch in Nagasaki, and informed the Western countries through the Dutch.

　　In the future, ships of Western countries, as long as they are not armed warships, can approach the nearby shogunate for help after encountering difficulties at sea.

　　 I probably didn’t want to bear some reputation on my back. The drafting and finalization of the entire order was entirely presided over by Chuemon and Sakuma Shouyama. Although the order was finally issued in the name of Tokugawa Iekei, the public makers were clearly Chuemon and Sakuma Kojiyama. This reputation didn't know whether it was good or bad in the end, anyway, it fell on Chuemon's head.

　　 Sakuma Xiangshan is proud of it. Not only did he not cover it up, but he advertised his support for the founding of the country. Even openly spread the necessity of learning Western scientific knowledge with his friends and doormen.

　　 means the combination of Western skills and Eastern spirit, so as to be prosperous and powerful on the inside and imperial on the outside.

　　 At this time, in the residence of the Hagi Clan under the Edo Castle, the lord Mori Kei was convening his retainers in the form of imperial lectures to discuss topics such as the first Sino-British war and the shogunate's response. As one of the southwestern vassals, the Maoris are more concerned about these incidents.

　　 In the hall, a 13-year-old boy's speech won the approval of many people present!
