v6 Chapter 19: Take them more inland

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []The fastest update! No ads! (At the beginning, this time the American crew drifting to Japan is a historical fact. There is a doubt in it. Foreigners who drifted to Japan after this point in time, such as McDonald of New Year, are basically handed over to the Netherlands to be transferred back to the country. No. The Netherlands has not refused the request of the shogunate, but only this time, the Netherlands very vigilantly refused, only to inform the US officials in Hong Kong and Macau to let the Americans take people away.)

Chuemon's doubts were fleeting. After all, it was normal for the crew to have calluses on their hands. Anyway, there are only more than 20 people who can't make any waves in Japan. In line with the principle that more is worse than less, he gently put it down, and ignores normal negotiations, and sends people to Nagasaki safely.

The general chores is Mr. Yagyu Hisuka, who is in charge of Suruga's affairs. Here, Mizuno Tadakuni ordered two translations from Nagasaki that can be translated into Mandarin. Japanese and English commonly used vocabulary, Xiaohongshu, etc., are available at this time. After the two translations, this communication will not be a problem. The rest is who sends people to Nagasaki.

It's definitely not Chuemon!

If you have to go to Chuemon to even send off your personal affairs, how can it be better for such a big country? There is no one in the entire shogunate, right?

In the end, Tadakuni Mizuno temporarily ordered Nagasaki, who was resting in the prefecture, to serve as **** by Oya Akei. At the same time, he rationed Lishiki and 30 concentric people, both as a helper and as a man to monitor these Americans. Sent to Nagasaki. When necessary, it is also allowed to recruit personnel from the Tianling to serve as guards.

There is a saying that our Hamamatsu Hou is a standard intelligent feudal man. After Oya Mingjing arrived in Suruga, he ordered Oya Mingjing not to take these Americans by water, especially avoiding the seaside. Don't be afraid to spend money, take them around Japan's inland a few more times, lest they learn about the fictitious description of Japan's coastal defense.

Hearing this, Tokugawa Keibo repeatedly praised Mizuno as the minister of Sajik, and after all, he was the minister of Tokugawa Kaki. Take precautions and prevent possible problems in advance.

Even Chuemon thought it was so good. Japan is a complete island country. The Americans can only come by boat. If these people go by sea, they will always see something. When the time comes, they will go back and talk to the U.S. Army. If the Shogunate does not have the same coastal defenses, it will be all clear ,

It’s better to go inland. Although it takes a long detour and costs more, at most, these Americans are told to see Japan in a poor state. Perhaps this is still a good thing. They sent the news of Japan's poor and miserable situation back to the United States, and they stopped their ambitions for trade with Japan.

Is there any good trade in a poor country?

As for the western countries and Kyushu, if it is inevitable to see the sea, there is no way. There is no perfect thing in the world, right, it's not a big deal to see a little bit more or less.

It was agreed that Oya Mingjing waited until two Lan-Chinese interpreters who could speak dumb English arrived, and then set off for Nagasaki. A group of Americans also received the big pants they requested before, and there were two for one person, and even two Haori. Of course, the Americans don't understand, they just thought they had issued two vests.

Anyway, it is April and May, and the weather is not cold at all. Haori made of kapok draped over their tattered clothes, and they might feel hot when they walk around.

On the American side, Portlin and the others took the opportunity to travel to and from the sea, and no one prevented them from observing the situation along the coast. They have been investigating Suruga Bay in the past few days.

But they also discovered that Suruga was a small plain between the mountains and the sea in the middle. After all, the thing about Mount Fuji can be seen clearly when you look up. Anyone who has played "Nobunaga's Ambition" or "Tai Ge Li Shi Chuan" should know the terrain of the entire Suruga, it is really a plain along the coast that is suitable for living.

Other places are either large mountains or rolling hills, which has a problem. For landing operations, the problem is quite serious.

The landing troops cannot be used!

It's not that thousands of people can't come up to tens of thousands of people, it's that after so many people come up, the troops can only march to the left and right sides if they don't talk about supplies. It is definitely not something a wise general will do in an unfamiliar country.

Although Japan is small, it can pull tens of thousands of soldiers out. In the British war of conquering Burma, the people who died were seas and seas, and Japan in front of me is not worse than Burma (Look at the Shogunate!).

When the time comes, the troops will come up and the shogunate will be blocked at both ends, and the US troops will either retreat into the sea again, or they will have to fight head-to-head. Coming across the sea, the most feared thing is the large-scale attrition. It is enough to kill people in the war. Without penicillin, the injury basically means inflammation and then death.

Obviously Suruga is not a good landing place!

After secretly recording the geographic information of Suruga Bay, Porterlin and others left Sunfu Castle with Oya Mingjing. Fortunately, apart from the collection of weapons, the Shogunate did not inspect their personal belongings.

The Magerney mission came to China to record China's mountains and rivers on a large scale along the way. By the time of the first Sino-British war, all of this geographic information was used by the British. There is even a saying that the British map ~lightnovelpub.net~ is more precise and accurate than that used by the Qing generals.

Often the British had already occupied the land, and the Qing army officers and soldiers were about to arrive. They couldn't do anything except stare. In the end, it was hit by British shells and scattered.

Porterlin and the others stared wide, for fear of missing something. And Oya Mingjing, who imprisoned them, only prohibited them from contacting ordinary Japanese people and forbidden to run around on a large scale, and did not stop some Americans in the team from sketching or something.

Perhaps in his opinion, the American ghost symbols are used only by barbarians. As the Master Qiben, he is dismissive of these things.

The western geography mapping paper is given to Ou Mingjing to see. Ou Mingjing may not even know him at all. Portlin secretly mocks Ou Mingjing's ignorance while stepping up the record.

On the Suruga side, the Americans were also sent away, so naturally there was no need to stay any longer, and immediately patted the horse back to Edo. There is still a big stall to do in Edo, and the mud of the river in Edo has been cleaned up all winter. But the construction of Odaiba hasn't come out yet. As soon as Mizuno arrived, he immediately started to promote the project.

Foreigners are coming more and more frequently, the construction of the Odaiba fort can't be delayed!
