Edo Traveler

v7 Chapter 43: The army has a strong sense of fighting

None of the people in the pursuing house actually stood up to persuade. In fact, everyone can't stand this bird's air in their hearts, but they know they can't beat the British. Now Mizuno made a decision, but everyone was relieved.

It's better to die than to suffer this stubbornness!

Following the great order of Hou Hamamatsu, all the army bravely took over Urahana’s old fort with the simple training artillery of the passing team. Under Pedro's suggestion, he quickly hired fishermen who were temporarily afraid to go fishing, and boatmen who stopped shipbuilding, filled the soil with straw bags, and built inclined soil slopes in front of the fort to reduce the damage of British artillery.

Then set up certain fortifications on the coast suitable for landing to prepare for the landing of the British army. After three or four months of training, the second-stage soldiers of the transfer team can still shoot their guns behind the fortifications, and they are completely competent.

In order to strengthen the army, Mizuno immediately wrote a letter to Tokugawa Ieki, requesting that foreigners send troops to help out. Even if you don’t go into battle, you can just serve as an auxiliary soldier, transport grain, dig trenches, build camps, etc., it’s all right. At least they can release all the training teams and concentrate on fighting.

Now that he had made a decision, Tokugawa Ieki always obeyed, and he believed what Mizuno said. So Maeda Yoshitae, Date Keikuni, Hosokawa Yoshigo, Mori Kekin, Kuroda Yoshipu, Ikeda Yoshimasa and other six foreign names who were confessed in Edo were ordered to immediately select a thousand elite feudal vassals to help Uraga.

The orders of the shogunate are still very effective now. After the six daimyos were ordered, they all obeyed, and they began to select the feudal vassals on the same day. For a while, I couldn’t get any armor at all. Everyone put on blue Haori, and then sew a round white cloth on Haori’s back. The words Kanazawa, Sendai, etc. were written on it to represent the origin. Go out and fight.

In order to ensure the military supplies, they also carried 3,000 rice, as well as tents, cooking utensils and many other materials. The cattle and horse traders under Edo Castle were hired by two to three thousand people, and they were dragged to Uraga to carry the military supplies.

For a while, the road from Edo to Uraga was extremely busy, and the samurai holding the flags of various feudal clans and horses entered Uraga in an endless stream. All the daimyo also came to visit Mizuno Tadakuni, who was regarded as the shogunate's optimistic white jade pillar, and asked about the details of the war.

"Send someone to inform Ying Yi, retreat Sanshe, Uraga Fort will have a test shot!" The little old man stood by Uraga Fort, looking at the British warships at sea.

…………………………

He returned to the fleet and was very satisfied with his performance. He thought that Uraga's incompetent and poor shogunate officials had been frightened by him. The rest is waiting, waiting for the shogunate to reply.

Unexpectedly, the shogunate can at least agree to more than half of the requirements, at most, it is not allowed to enter Edo. This is something that has been verified in Qing Dynasty, Uraga is not far from Edo.

If Uraga can be leased directly, and then a military port can be set up here, then a very good military base will be built in East Asia with the British Empire, and its influence on East Asia will be further strengthened. It is even possible to find a way to take over both North Korea and Taiwan and establish a colonial system in East Asia.

The importance of Uraga is also known to the shogunate, and it seems that the conditions for the opening of the port of Edo and the establishment of the embassy area in Edo must be tightened. The shogunate was forced to a dead end, and in the end, like a god, he gave a small profit to the shogunate, "reluctantly," retreated to the next best thing, and leased Uraga for nine hundred and ninety-nine years.

Not bad, very good!

After sitting on the ship for a while, the logistics officer who went ashore to buy food came to report that the shogunate seemed to be strengthening its forces and was hiring people to renovate the fortifications on a large scale.

The news made Seth Huali a little confused, why the shogunate dared to resist the British Empire, relying on their strength, even less than one ten thousandth of the British Empire. As long as Taiying stretches out a little finger, the shogunate will be over. Are all the officials of the shogunate crazy? Seeking a dead end.

Surprised and suspicious, he still had to put the great stalwart who was pretending to bring the British Empire's face into consideration, and decided to remain unchanged to respond to all changes, quietly watching what tricks the Shogun could play.

So Mizuno Tadakuni’s notice came the next day...

The court teacher of the King Tokugawa Ikei of Japan, the head of the nobles who have been married to the Tokugawa family for generations, and the former prime minister of the kingdom, Tadakuni Mizuno, Grand Duke of Hamamatsu, informed Staphyri that the shogunate would test artillery performance in Uraga. It would be accidental. Please take refuge for the time being the British warships who came to discuss the "peace trade".

WTF? The shogunate wants to test the artillery? The agreed three-day deadline was approaching, and the shogunate not only did not answer, but also informed the British army that the shogunate was ready for war.

Fortunately, Setarphali is also a person accustomed to big winds and waves. As a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, he experienced more winds and waves. He was even fortunate to have seen Napoleon himself in person, even Napoleon was brought to the fore by the British. No one in this world can shake the British.

According to previous observations, Uraga’s old artillery ~lightnovelpub.net~ is absolutely impossible to attack British warships. The Stafari was sure that the shogunate was swollen face to fill the fat man, and before he was beaten up by the British army, he forced a cowhide coax appearance. After being hurt by the British army, it quickly converts into humble dogs.

Seamless connection, self-transformation is very fast. If you have not seen it with your own eyes, it is actually hard to imagine that two completely different personalities can appear in one person so quickly.

Do not move, the British army itself stopped out of range. If this moves, wouldn't it be a disadvantage and show cowardice to the shogunate? The face of Taiying must not be lost. Above the sea, the Royal Navy with the British Empire has not been afraid of anyone. Just let the shogunate fire a cannon, just do it whatever you want, and hit me if you have the ability.

Yeah, just wait and see...

Uraga is here to call back and move, the horses and horses gather, and the flags are fluttering. Many soldiers began to practice together, but unfortunately there were not so many muskets. People of all ages don't know how powerful the Six Domains soldiers can really play, but at least the British logisticians who came ashore can see that the shogunate's strength is getting stronger and stronger.

Shinagawa also echoed, not only Uraga is going to test the cannon, Shinagawa is also preparing to test the cannon. Give Edo a little confidence and let everyone in and under Edo know that Edo is not defenseless.

There are only two cannons on the Uraga Fort, which were modified after the last time the U.S. warship knocked off. The rest are old cannons, which are not used by birds. In fact, if it hadn't been for the letter from Hideryu Egawa to say this, everyone in the room would have thought Uraga's cannons were all rubbish.

Two are better than none, shoot!
