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

When with the British, scold the French. When with the French, scold the British. When you are with Germans, you scold the British and French, and sometimes you can scold the Russians.

But when you are with the Dutch, which country should you scold?

Waiting online, very anxious!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……

Entering the Dejima area of ​​Nagasaki, the guards at the gate let Chuemon and his party enter, and the curator of the Dutch business inside knew the news. Ordinary samurai certainly have no chance to meet the Dutch. Those who can come to Nagasaki are either the guard samurai of the domains, or the relatively free movement of the shogunate Kimoto, the high-ranking samurai of the domains, or even the daimyo.

After learning that Tadaoemon was Nagasaki’s deputy in pursuing Isawa’s political justice and was a direct samurai under the shogunate who assisted him in defending Nagasaki, the director of the Dutch business museum Jan Kok Blokhov (in fact, he did not I didn’t find out if I was in office this year, I’m sorry.) I went out to meet him in person. After all, the Dutch business hall in Nagasaki can make considerable trade profits. Holding some Japanese officials is a compulsory homework.

Moriyama Einosuke (the Japanese translation of the "Japan-US Friendship and Trade Treaty"), who served as the translator, greeted Chuemon in lieu of hello, and the atmosphere on both sides was good. Heping has been in business for more than two hundred years, and the Dutch side is a standard businessman. As long as he can obtain a large enough profit, it doesn't matter if he kneels to the general.

One side will not be arrogant, and the other side can tolerate humiliation. It is impossible to have any major problems in this relationship!

Blokhov thought that Tadaoemon was here to see the western scenery of the Dutch business hall, and at the same time to find some benefits, it was natural that he gave some gifts to Tadaoemon.

Including long cashmere cloth, a pair of exquisite glass wine glasses, a pocket watch made of silver, and a box of cigars. There are a lot of Japanese people who smoke now, because the demand for tobacco is so huge that tobacco is grown everywhere in many places for profit. Fortunately, it wasn't Hibiscus smoke that was given away. If this stuff was given away, Tadaoemon would surely slap him on the face.

People gave these so many things, but Chuemon was a little embarrassed. We didn't come here to solicit bribes, just to buy two guns.

Hey, Tadaoemon, as the "great official", in line with the principle of not destroying the diplomatic relations between Japan and Netherlands, finally reluctantly accepted these gifts, but he repeatedly asked Moriyama Einosuke to thank Blokhov.

Because of the language barrier, there is no talk of chatting and spanking at all to enhance the relationship. I had no choice but to discuss the matter and talk about the purchase of muskets. But when I talked about this, Blochov was nothing, Moriyama Einosuke was confused. May I ask what is Colt's revolver? It doesn't exist in his vocabulary.

In the end, it can only be stumbling, a word by word description, it can be rotated, there are several rounds of ammunition, hand-held short-barreled musket. Good guy, if Blochov hadn't been a soldier before, there might be no way to know what Tademon and Moriyama Einosuke were talking about.

The Colt revolver was invented in 1835 (actually it was granted a British patent, so it was invented earlier), but it was the initial version, and it has been improved during the process, until the US-Mexico war shines. Even if it is a basic stereotype, it can be tested on the battlefield and its effectiveness is trustworthy. As for now, it is clear that Blochov only knew that there was a pistol in this form, but he had never seen it or used it.

Hey, ran for nothing, thinking that Colt has become the pistol king in this era!

But Colt didn't, but there was a spray with a short tube. Blochov soon ordered people to fetch the finished product, using paper-packed ammunition, fired it with a flash hat, and a large shot within thirty to fifty meters, wrapped in a cool bag. As long as you can shoot before someone else cuts down on you, there is basically no possibility of a miss.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to load the ammunition in advance and be ready to launch at any time. Otherwise, a person may jump out of the road and the knife has stabbed you five holes. Your gun has only been reloaded, and you are blind.

There is better than nothing, and Chuemon is now ready to buy two for fun. Although it was a small business, Blokhov still enthusiastically taught Chuemon to order ammunition, and then practiced it several times to ensure that Chuemon could use it before it was finished.

The business is done, the guests and the host are happy!

Brokhov sent Chuemon to outside the shop again. Before he left, Chuemon tried to give it a try and asked in English. You should know that France will not attack Japan, right?

As soon as the words were spoken, Blokhov subconsciously replied in English yes!

After saying this, all the attendants on both sides looked at them with incredible eyes. The Dutch side was surprised that Japan had officials proficient in English, and the Japanese side was surprised that the Shogunate had an official who could speak foreign languages.

Japan is not without people who can speak English, but these people are either in the United States, or in Macau, or even in Moscow, but it is impossible to be in Nagasaki. The only four Japanese-Dutch translators who have studied mute English either have passed away or do not speak English at all.

Suddenly I heard a Japanese speaking English. In the Netherlands, it was basically a piece of news~lightnovelpub.net~ Even Blochov learned English because he was a British prisoner of war for four years. Otherwise, there is no such ability.

Being able to communicate with each other, the friendship between the two immediately rose to a new dimension. Blochov invited Tademon to enter the shop again to discuss it, and it was time for afternoon tea anyway. Although the Dutch are not as obsessed with afternoon tea as the British, drinking a cup of tea with milk is also a rare pastime.

But Chuemon refused him, just thinking about simply asking about the specific situation in France now, to understand the situation around East Asia, it seems not too appropriate to talk for too long.

Leaving aside the translation, Chungemon soon learned that France and Vietnam had actually signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1787, but after Louis XVI became the father of the United States, he made another visit to the father of Vietnam and was sent On the guillotine, this treaty was not realized.

Now France has stabilized a little bit, and the Nguyen Dynasty officially banned the spread of Christianity, persecuted Christians and missionaries, and gave France a perfect excuse for invasion.

Therefore, France's Asian strategy is basically focused on the invasion of Vietnam. For the more distant Japan, there is almost no news of an invasion in the world. This Nagasaki alert must be unfounded!
