Your boy Wanli came here just to investigate the relationship between Chinooks and the Japanese?

Don't say that Chuemon doesn't believe it at all, and the adults here don't believe it either. I went to Ezo from Canada and lived with the Ainu for several days. I was finally sent to Edo. When I touched my mouth, I said it was for a racial investigation?

But don't believe him, there seems to be nothing suspicious. His personal belongings are simple clothes, two knives, a box of candies, and a large bag of rusks. According to his statement, the candies have been given to the Ainu people, and a lot of rusks were eaten on the way, and now there is nothing left. First on the whole network

So he just came here lightly, not looking like spying on the shogunate's intelligence, or surveying and mapping the Ezo area, which is the Hokkaido area.

It is understandable that Canadians hunt whales in Hokkaido fishing grounds. It is indeed necessary to have a safe supply port in Hokkaido. It is also very reasonable to send someone to spy on Ezo's situation. It's not like that kind of thing even if he came to such a young man and didn't prepare anything.

Could it be that it really came to have a friendly exchange?

One side of the story is not credible, and we need to ask the Ezo local officials and officials who executed the arrests. These people were also in Edo at this time, and they were all summoned to the official hall for questioning. As a result, their narrative was almost the same as McDonald's confession, and indeed no other contraband was found.

The boat McDonald was given to the Ainu, and the Ainu didn’t help him hide anything, not to mention the self-defense musket. Even the knife can only be regarded as the kind of small dagger for cutting meat. I want to take it. It's hard to defend yourself.

Let's call McDonald an "explorer" or an "adventurer" for the time being. Based on various circumstances, it is really bold. I just want to visit Japan, which is an unknown place for Europeans, and get to know it.

Several officials from Ezo said that MacDonald’s attitude along the way was very kind, not at all like the previous foreigners who drifted to Japan or voluntarily came to Japan. Those people are often extremely vicious, because of the shortage of supplies, even directly. Go ashore to **** cattle from people's homes, and even women. /m.q^^om/

Of course, MacDonald was indeed quite curious about the sights and customs of Japan, and asked what he saw along the way, which annoyed all the officials. The whole day is endless and can't be passed.

"My lord thinks, what should I do?" Chuemon had already asked all the questions anyway, and he translated it well, so there was nothing else to ask.

"What do you think?" Ooka Tadaguro is inexperienced first, and secondly, he really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing too much.

"If you want to say that he spied on our domestic situation, it is really not the same. In order not to offend the United Kingdom, if you follow the precedent, the Netherlands will inform the country on your behalf and order it to send someone to pick it up." Chungemon felt that this person might really be. For those who come to explore, there is no need to embarrass others, just send them out as gifts.

"Alright, let me report it to my boss, and then deal with it." Ooka Tadaguro was also unwilling to be troublesome.

Encountered such a foreigner, sent away from a distance and fell down. Anyway, this is not the first time that the Shogunate has encountered a foreigner, but this time the foreigner's status is rather special. This is an Englishman, a citizen of the world's largest power and the British Empire. And according to his confession, he is still a second-generation official and second-generation rich. The shogunate cannot dispose of such people at will.

To put it more bluntly, if it is because of the torture of this person that the British get an excuse to attack Japan, then it will be over. If you can avoid messing with the British, it's better not to mess with it.

Ooka Tadagoto has gone to see Tokugawa Ikei. It is estimated that Tokugawa Ikei's decision is also a gift to leave the country, and there will be no excessive actions. The American whaling crew rescued in the past were all delicious and delicious, let alone an Englishman now.

Taking advantage of this circumstance, Tadaoemon talked with MacDonald again. Since he boarded the ship from the west coast, he should have some understanding of the US-Mexico war. And these years, it seems that there have been talks about the construction of the Great East-West Railway and the Central American Canal. The United States has developed extremely rapidly, and it can really be said to be changing with each passing day.

The other bureaucrats of the shogunate were curious about the British, but they maintained a certain "prudence" and were unwilling to communicate with MacDonald. Just watching Chuemon speak to him quietly, concealing the complex emotions in his heart.

MacDonald has a very good attitude towards Tadaka, basically knowing everything and talking endlessly. When he came, the US-Mexico war was fought, and the U.S. military has made rapid progress and has penetrated into Mexico. Looks like that, it will soon break into Mexico City and prompt Mexico City to surrender.

It was almost the same as Chuemon’s memory. Mexico lost a lot in this battle. It lost half of the country, a full 2.3 million square kilometers of land, and now all have changed their surnames to the United States.

After a short talk, Ooka Tadagou came out of Zhongao and announced his opinions on the disposition of McDonald, which was not bad. Tokugawa Ieki ordered someone to go to Nagasaki immediately to tell the Dutch that the shogunate had caught an Englishman who had entered the country privately, and there was no conflict between the two sides. Now I invite the British government to quickly send a ship to pick up the people, so as not to hurt the peace between the two countries.

As for MacDonald’s staying in Edo temporarily, he will be sent to Nagasaki and returned to the country by boat after Nagasaki dispatches a coordinator. The reason why he didn't just go to Nagasaki was because he was an Englishman.

Just in case!

"Cadaemon, if you have been appointed to the queen's foreign country, this person will be handed over to you. Make sure you don't make any mistakes. You can report all the expenses." The folding fan in Ooka's hand pointed to Chuemon. ~lightnovelpub.net~ announced loudly.

"clear."

When the boss gave such orders, of course Chuemon could only agree. Anyway, it is public money to take care of people, and MacDonald has received a good education, eloquence, and knowledge is also very extensive, Tadaoemon really wants to say a few words with him.

Now they are all steam steamers, unlike before, it takes more than a year or two to travel to and from the UK. Now you can call back and forth in six months, and the message transfer is very convenient, and we won’t stay here long.

"By the way, the lower official wants to report something." Chungemon's mind flashed.

"What's the matter?" Ooka Tadao thought that Tadaoemon was asking for more money.

"This person is a British nobleman, with pure pronunciation and decent speech. It may be possible to call all the young people to learn English nearby, and they may be able to use it in the future."

"It's reasonable! This matter will also be handed over to you." This kind of trivial matter Ooka Tadaguro no longer needs to report to Tokugawa Ikei, he can decide on his own.
