Edo Traveler

v7 Chapter 44: Tell the Queen of England

"The British ship did not move, or did it directly test the gun?"

Although Chuemon also felt that the British were too arrogant this time, the situation was stronger than others. The British were so powerful that the shogunate really couldn't afford it. If this is a direct hit, the Brit will definitely ask for prices.

It costs half a million taels to kill a person, but it’s not impossible...

"Maybe, Yingyi is about to see what our army is capable of." Mizuno Zhongbang didn't hesitate at all. He said that even the eight cows could not be brought back by the little old man.

So just the word "confidence" has been made transparent by the little old man, waiting for others, it is absolutely inferior to Mizuno Tadakuni.

Since Mizuno Tadakuni thinks it's worthwhile, then we, a little bureaucrat, don't need to say anything more. He ordered the cannon to fire. With the two 18-pound bronze guns in front of him, he could not cause much damage to the British ships at sea.

Moreover, the British ships at sea, especially the flagship of the British army, are steam-powered wooden cruisers. As long as their boilers are boiled, this is not just leaving, there is no need to wait for wind. The same is true for the other two paddle-wheel wooden cruisers. As long as the steam engine is burning and the wheels turn fast, it is not a word to run.

The two cannons fired violently, causing huge splashes of water on the sea. It looked as if they were very close to the British ship, and even the spray was about to hit the British ship. In fact, far away, the British ship owes even a sway.

The British army itself stopped beyond the estimated range of the fort, and now seeing the range of the Shogunate’s artillery, the British soldiers on board laughed. No matter how powerful this cannon is, it must hit the talent to be great. You can't use it as a fart.

However, the Stewart on the boat was not so relaxed. He clearly felt that the Shogunate was really testing the gun, not just a simple gun test, it might even be a data experiment required for future artillery battles. Now compare the various data and experiment. When the heavy artillery is shipped, it will be a one-by-one shot into the soul!

It seems that the newly-replaced shogunate commander is really a fairly high-level existence. Although it did not hit the Sino-British ship at all, it actually clarified the road to the British. He is an experienced bureaucrat or commander who has enough routines to play with the hearts of the people. It may not be where the rank is high, but it is enough to deal with Staphyri.

The cannon on the turret continued to fire. This time it was fired a bit farther. The gun itself has a difference between a limit range and an effective range. Mizuno is now slowly testing, to see the various situations when hitting a certain distance.

"Yingyi is so calm..." Songping Qixuan's hand came over, soaked in sweat.

"Let's watch it." Chuemon couldn't figure out Mizuno's thoughts for a while, but it seemed that the British didn't have much reaction.

A dozen rounds were fired before and after, and the test shots reached this point. The entire Uraga ocean noodles entered a very peculiar scene, while firing fiercely at a genuine price, but it just missed. On the one hand, the old **** was standing in front of the cannonball, and he didn't mean to move at all, letting the other side fire the cannon.

I don't understand, I really don't understand!

The three-day period has come, and Stavanger has once again landed ashore, still showing the meticulous appearance of a rear admiral of the Royal Navy. Every time I look at it, I feel that the Royal Navy is indeed different.

When he saw Mizuno Tadakuni, the two smiled unanimously, one took off his hat and the other bowed his head. Obviously these two ranks are on the line, and they can’t help but feel sorry for each other.

Let's talk, as usual, MacDonald is the English translator, and here are three translators selected, two translators for Mizuno Tadakuni and Matsudaira Qixuan, and one responds to each other. As for Chuemon, we can speak English, not so bad as an interpreter.

After repeating the British request, Stavanger was about to be thirsty, so he took a sip of the water on the table. Then I began to look a little appreciative, watching the glass of Edo Kiriko in my hand, as if it looked so good.

Mizuno Tadakuni, who is in the main seat, is also calm, saying that the conditions in the UK are too difficult for others, and it can even be said to be very excessive. I hope that Stafali can revise the various paragraphs and reconsider.

Originally arrogant, he only said that after three days, the shogunate had only two answers, either yes or no. The shogunate put down his glass and asked Mizuno how to make the terms.

Mizuno knew where the bottom line of the shogunate was, and gently clicked on the tabletop, indicating that Britain could follow the example of the Netherlands and build a Dejima in Nagasaki to conduct regular trade with Japan. Other requirements either cannot be met at all, or they need to be discussed in detail.

The requirements on both sides cannot strike a balance at all!

"It seems that you don't have the sincerity to negotiate..." The wicked person in Setar Huali sued first, saying that there was no sincerity on the side of the shogunate.

"If you are sincere, you should know. If you can't decide now, you can go back to the country and play the king before reconsidering." Mizuno Tadakuni's words are not so pleasant, but they seem to have something else. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Love to talk, don't talk about getting off!

"Hahahaha, your proposal is very insightful." Staphyli was also very calm, but there was not much fluctuation anyway.

"..." Mizuno Tadakuni smiled, and made a gesture of asking, letting the stalwart think about it.

Then he got up and paced around the negotiating arbor, and took a closer look at the one hundred British soldiers who had come to the shore by the guard, Tarfali. Of course, these "lobster soldiers" didn't wear heavy bearskin caps, but replaced them with the white military caps often used in East Asia. There are white cloths hanging on the sides and back, which are said to be to shield mosquitoes.

As for the musket, it is naturally the brown bass, but it should start to change soon. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the weapons of all countries in the world began to develop extremely rapidly, and various new weapons emerged one after another. The brown bass, which has been used for almost a hundred years, will soon be retired from active service.

Mizuno saw from the beginning to the end and found that the British soldiers were all wearing long leather boots, while the soldiers in the training team only had straw shoes. He sighed in his heart that the United Kingdom was indeed powerful and far better than the shogunate.

Looking at the British soldiers, Mizuno didn't look very good, so he sat back at the negotiating table and waited for the reply from Staphyri.

"I accept your suggestion, and will pass your country's opinion to Her Majesty the Queen!" Stavroy gave an answer that many of you did not expect.

"I hope you can bring a better proposal next time." Mizuno Tadakuni seemed to have expected it, smiled slightly, and nodded.

Then he learned to sell now, reached out and shook hands with Staphyri to bid farewell.
