Edo Traveler

v4 Chapter 29: Request the Shogunate

, The fastest update of the latest chapters of Edo Traveler!

Chuemon's report is very simple. In addition to what Mizuno asked Akio Takashima and others to prepare before, there is a very important content, and it is not extremely taboo.

Send envoys to Europe!

As soon as the shogunate has long been established, this is the most important thing in an old government like the Tokugawa shogunate that has been established for more than two hundred years. Because the previous example is that after the lock-up system is completed, it is still possible to send envoys to other countries. This ensures that things can be pushed to the top of the ancestor's precedent, and there is no need for the current people to take the blame.

Secondly, a certain urgency has gradually emerged in the entire international environment and domestic atmosphere. East Asia has been involved in the tide of world capitalism, the Qing Dynasty has been established, and the French have also attacked Naha, Ryukyu, using force to force the founding of Ryukyu, and foreign threats are approaching.

People of insight in Japan, including Mizuno Tadakuni, who is committed to protecting the shogunate, also believes that it is necessary to temporarily ease the hostility of foreign powers, and promulgated the "Exotic Ship Rescue Order", allowing foreign ships to provide coal, water, food, etc. .

Except for some relatively conservative people, many people are aware of the need to learn from foreign countries the much-needed knowledge of gun manufacturing and modern military technology.

However, with the exception of some orchid scholars and those relatively close to Nagasaki, most scholars have no way to access advanced Western military technology. Even the so-called central government of the shogunate was actually stumbling, tossing back and forth between study and interruption.

At present, the shogunate has an urgent need to survive, and things have developed to the point where they can't learn. Therefore, sending young and inquisitive young people to study in Europe is also something that has to be done.

If it was during Mizuno Tadakuni's reign, Tadaemon still had seven to eight points certainty that he could persuade him to do it. Now that Doi is in position, it may not be so easy. However, Masayi Izawa, who is responsible for negotiating with foreign countries, has expressed his approval, so this letter can be sent to Tokugawa Ieki’s desk no matter what.

The threat from the French is right in front of you. You still cover your eyes with both hands, just as if you can't see it, then write it for nothing!

"Outside Nagasaki, the West is vast. It is time to send shogunate members to learn Western skills for national use." Although Masaichi Izawa did not have much abilities, he had worked in Nagasaki for at least two years and had also seen foreign countries. It's amazing.

Hey, in addition to being brave enough to take responsibility and knowing that if something goes wrong, this person has the advantage of cutting his belly, but he was also found by Chuemon to have another advantage. This person does not reject accepting new things. Let's just say, look at a person day by day, month by month, year by year, and you can recognize it more clearly if you look at it a lot.

"My lord has been in Nagasaki for a long time and has insight into Western skills, so I am afraid of the Edo side..." Chuemon was not so optimistic.

"The French warship is coming soon. Isn't Edo touched?" Masaichi Izawa felt that he was going to die of anxious death, and he felt that the Edo side would definitely be anxious and at a loss.

"If the warship does not enter Edo Bay, I am afraid that there will be no skin pain!" Chuemon shook his head.

What kind of urine is the feudal government, ancient and modern, both at home and abroad are the same. It will not be different because you are in a different continent or country. It wasn't that the big knife slashed his head, how could he be willing to take a leap. Maybe Mizuno Tadakuni knew that the shogunate was already rotten, so he decided to keep only the head of the shogun, and all the torso of Kachimoto Yuki and others were chopped off.

But if the head is broken, it is nothing more than becoming a vegetative person. As long as you put on an oxygen cylinder, you may even live in bed for ten or twenty years. If a person were cut off from the neck, even ten minutes would not survive.

"Shogun Kan is determined to reform, he has the atmosphere of King Akira, my brother can't talk nonsense." Masayi Izawa waved his hand again and again, expressing my most beloved General, that is always wise, always great, and Yongda is correct. Don't dare to say that he is not.

"It's me who made a mistake, it's me who made a mistake..."

The two of them didn't have much to say about the rest. Tademon immediately asked Masayi Izawa to equip him with a Dutch general, and he wanted to buy a gun from the Dutch.

At the beginning, Masai Izawa wondered what Chuemon was going to do, but after Chuemon finished speaking, he immediately came over. Our Nagasaki Master took a look at the "Knife of Kindness" on his waist, and felt that he hadn't been used to slash anyone in 20 years. It is indeed better to buy a fire stick that can make a sound.

"My brother might as well buy one or two more, the money is a trivial matter." Masaichi Izawa turned around and went back to pay, obviously he was going to pay with Chuemon's share.

"a piece of cake!"

It’s a good thing for someone to help pay the bill. Tadaemon is not happy, so he took Izawa Masayi’s money and went to the Dutch business hall. The pistol appeared hundreds of years ago, but the current pistol can be understood as a small flintlock rifle. Of course, firing pin pistols appeared, but none of them were targeted by Chuemon.

You can only play a hammer with one shot. You seem to overestimate the guts and courage of Chuemon. How can a person who has never played with a gun in his entire life be shot into the soul!

I can't even think about it. The best thing for us is the revolver that can try six rounds in a row. Give at least five more chances of trial and error. If you go through a blind fight, if you are lucky, you can die.

It’s the kind of short-tube sprayer~lightnovelpub.net~ which is a shotgun or something, but it’s actually quite suitable for Tademon, but it’s not convenient to carry. Otherwise, a stunner yelling at the thief of Tenchu ​​came out from the street, and Chungemon sprayed him on his face, guaranteeing that half of his body was broken, and the effect must be very good.

Anyway, someone pays, or they can buy one too!

The Dutch business hall is on Dejima, Nagasaki. The Shogunate was very bad at the time. It suppressed Christianity and hoped to lock the country completely. So on the excuse that the Netherlands had a Christian cross sign on the building of Hirado's commercial building, they forcibly demolished the Hirado's Dutch commercial building. Then let the Dutch pay for the construction of the commercial hall in Nagasaki, and even the construction cost of the island was paid by the Dutch.

A series of operations are very awkward, the combination of punches bore the Dutch people, and there is such a shameless thing in the world. However, because of the greed for trade with Japan, the Dutch finally pinched their noses to admit it.

There is a special bridge between Dejima and Nagasaki, and there are also guards. However, Chuemon is the banner of the shogunate, and is accompanied by a general dispatched by Masai Izawa. The guards will naturally be released.

Looking up, the Dutch flag in red, white and blue was flying in the air, closing the only window in Japan and opening to Chuemon.
