Edo Traveler

v5 Chapter 46: Recruiting and recruiting courage to mee

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []The fastest update! No ads! Not long after, Edo began to circulate news that the city would recruit a new gun team. It is said that after Mizuno has abolished those unusable manpower, he will replace it with loyal and brave recruits.

However, with the exception of very few people who know the inside story, most people think that this incident is probably a smoke bomb. Because this is not the first time Mizuno Tadakuni has let go. In the last time of the reform, I said that I would personally examine the Confucian scholars at the Changpingzaka Institute of Education, and the civil and martial arts of the imperial family of Zhuqi.

He even promoted an imperial family member who was both capable and skilled to an imperial surname, but that was the case. The entire shogunate’s official system is still in accordance with the inertia over the past two hundred years, appointing personnel who match the discipline. The job reference mainly refers to knowledge and action rather than talent. You can manage Mizuno for one day, can you manage it for the rest of your life?

So everyone just listened and didn't take this seriously...

When Shiroku ran over and asked Chuemon to ask if there was something wrong with this matter. If so, he has a few familiar concentrics, and there are two and three children at home, and he wants to see if he can get in. Haolai is a rice bowl, even if it is not a hereditary golden rice bowl, it is better than going out to make another living.

Chuemon was not quite sure about the passing team, but he felt that this might be an important step in Mizuno's continued reform and reform, so Kazuke Roku also spoke a little bit.

Within a few days, the shogunate finally issued an order. Anyone who had served the Tokugawa clan before the five generations of Tsunayoshi, who was between fourteen and nineteen years old, and whose height was more than five feet two inches (1.5 meters), was allowed to answer the call.

This time, the shogunate newly established a training team, 500 rifle team, 100 artillery team, and an annual salary of 15 taels of gold, and one person's support rice. The treatment is fairly generous and the conditions are not harsh.

What do the Mijia people think?

They didn't think much about it, because of the low family status, few people had been able to make official careers in the past two hundred years. Now they suddenly said that they would only select gunmen from the children of the imperial family, but it made them hesitate. In addition, the treatment is really good, and some people wonder if there is any problem.

Then a bigger rumor spread, saying that the recruits were actually to deal with foreign troops that might emerge in the future. These people will all be sent up at that time to block the blastholes on foreign large ships!

The rumor said that it had noses and eyes, and even said that the US military ship, which had just fired its guns not long ago, would come again in two years. Now recruiting the children of the royal family, the shogunate is anxious, there is no cannon fodder, ready to send a wave, who will go and who will be foolish.

Good guy, this rumor made Chuemon a bit dumbfounded for a while. There is quite a bit of truth in what I said, if it wasn't for Chuemon who probably knew the cause and effect in it, I would believe it.

Even Shieroku, who originally came to ask Chuemon Gate, was slightly confused. At first, there were two and three children in the family, and they wanted to find a way out for the extra children. Obviously the size of this thing is a good way out. Why did such a strange rumor spread that only a few hundred people really want to stop the gunhole, and he can stop it?

"Tell me, what the **** is going on?" Zhu Liu, who resumed work, took a shift this month, so he had time to run back and forth.

"To put it bluntly, Hou Hamamatsu wants to pull a group and fight a group..." Tademon picked up a big plum and took a bite, sweet.

"Using the newly reorganized soldiers of the imperial family, they enter the city to serve as escorts, gain their support, and then weaken the power of the old soldiers of the banner?" Zhuroku made it through.

But that's the truth, Mizuno's idea is very good. Although the Yu family paid Weibo, they were also the direct ministers of Tokugawa Ikei and the backbone of the shogunate. If it is possible to gain the support of the Yu Family through benevolence to the Yu Family, then Mizuno Tadakuni's administration afterwards will not be opposed by a bunch of people.

And with the support of the royal family, even if the banners are all picking, there are people who can fill their seats. Just like the reforms of the few foreign names in the southwest, they promoted the capable and talented people among the lower-level vassals, gained their support, defeated the mediocre upper-level samurais, strengthened the authority of the monarch, and promoted reform.

It stands to reason that Mizuno's thinking is correct, but it can't hold the shogunate ship, it is not easy to turn around, and the bait thrown out is too small. There are only 600 positions in the 23,000 imperial family members. The difference in the ratio is too large, and it doesn't look like that.

"Find some proper manpower and ask everywhere, where did the rumors of blocking the gunhole spread." Chungemon felt that the rumors didn't seem to come in vain.

"I asked, it's spreading everywhere, it really doesn't look like someone deliberately made it." Zhuliu shook his head.

"En? That's weird..."

Maybe it was because I hadn't experienced it, or maybe it was too simple. Neither Chuemon nor Sukeruku could understand a certain "feeling" or a certain "ethics".

Everyone was poor, very good, and poor. Twenty-three thousand families and hundreds of thousands of them are poor ghosts, which is great. There may be six hundred people who are going to be better now, and life is going to get better. Although I don't know who these six hundred people are, as long as it is not me, I can't stand it.

So I can't make those six hundred people feel better~lightnovelpub.net~ I have to mess with this matter for him. Everyone should suffer from poverty together, so why can six hundred people survive?

Tademon Kazuruko, who didn't understand this truth, was naturally puzzled. In the history of the transfer team, because it was hired by French instructors to come for training, there were only more than 500 people in the first stage, so you need to learn French first. Together with the expanded army, there are more than one thousand men.

It was originally said that young talents should be selected from the children of the Kimoto Yu family, but the result was completely out of the expectation of the high-ranking shogunate leaders. Those poor royal family members who could not eat their poor food were unwilling to go out and practice the annual salary of 20 taels of gold. Team recruits, the recruitment activity is cold.

In the end, the number of people was greatly insufficient, and the only way to recruit people from the floating waves in the city was hastily. Many people dragged their families and their wives and children lived outside the camp. The "sickness" of the whole body was lazy and bad, and the French instructors scolded his mother. I'm not active when I train, and I'm fast when I eat.

After several months of teaching, I didn't know anything except the rifle in front of me. Even kneeling in the front row and direct shot in the back row, this kind of relatively outdated volley did not learn. The only part of the cavalry has only learned how to ride a horse, and can't fight with a cavalry at all.

Yoshiki Tokugawa did not lose in the battle of Fushimi Toba. With such a rotten soldier, it is a rare thing to win!
