gone!

Just left?

Dignified with the British empire's Hong Kong Vice-Governor, Royal Rear Admiral, and Commander of the Navy of the Hong Kong Colony. Three days ago, the arrogant and domineering Staphyli left just like that.

It seemed that he accepted Mizuno's suggestion very easily, put aside the trade with Japan for now, and prepared to return to London and submit the shogunate's trade plan to the lower house for discussion.

Is this still the same as the previous Stafali? How can it look like the previous Staphyri. Chuemon was completely puzzled, not to mention Matsudaira Qixuan and Yoshida Shoin on the sidelines.

The only thing that the two parties reached a consensus on was one thing. MacDonald was appointed as the personal representative of the Governor of Hong Kong and stayed in Edo temporarily to facilitate future contacts between Hong Kong and Edo. Of course, MacDonald does not have any official status, and on the surface he stays in Japan as an English teacher hired by the Shogunate.

The face of the shogunate can be justified. This is to cultivate English talents so as to facilitate future negotiations with those Yingmi ghost animals who come here. Moreover, the shogunate employs many foreigners, and there are dozens of them working in Edo alone.

Now that the British army retreated and there was no war, the shogunate once again resolved the crisis of the founding of the country. The princes and soldiers were also very happy, and they admired Mizuno Zhongbang even more. Counting this time, Mizuno Tadakuni has already resisted the foreign barbarian and worried about the country.

Rebuild peace!

Because of this great accomplishment, all the current senior middle schools were asked by Tokugawa Ikei to come to Shinagawa to meet Mizuno Tadakuni who had explained to the prefecture. And Tokugawa Ikeki also asked his son Tokugawa Iameyoshi to go out to face Mizuno Tadakuni to give a banquet first, and many rewards were especially numerous.

Tokugawa Jiaqing was also very curious about how to retreat to Yingyi, and he started to recruit the vassals of the vassals, so why didn't he fight instead. Will the British retreat because of the hereditary warriors who have been the samurai masters for more than two hundred years, and even the spears are out of order?

Of course not!

So there must be some joints in it. Of course, Tokugawa Ieki wants to know, and he also teaches the Tokugawa Ie, the future of this world is the Tokugawa Ie. Yangyi will only come more and more, learn a little bit of the ability to retreat to Yangyi, there are only advantages and no harm.

It's a pity that Chuemon doesn't have enough status to attend the private meeting and banquet between Tokugawa Kaikei and Mizuno.

But Matsudaira went out. The world belongs to their Tokugawa family. Tokugawa Jiaqing intends to help this younger brother and learn from the old prime minister. What's wrong? Tokugawa Ieki is also called Master Mizuno Tadakuni.

Matsudaira Qixuan knew it, and that would naturally mean Chuemon knew it!

In private, Mizuno Tadakuni showed less self-confidence. He said frankly that he saw his own shadow in Staphyri. A kind of self-confidence that thinks that he is backed by a big tree and can have no scruples. However, Mizuno Tadakuni, who was so confident back then, was beaten up and down for a long time, and he stepped down directly.

He is a wise man, and he will naturally reflect on it. Even if this reflection is not shown outside, he still has a little bit in his heart. In the previous reforms, he was actually pulling the tiger skin of Tokugawa Jiaqing, and he was rectifying the Yu family of Kimoto. And he himself didn't have enough strength to uproot the Qimoto Yu family.

Now, Setarphali borrowed the tiger skins from the British Empire to rectify the shogunate. However, Staphyli brought only three boats this time, and a mere 1,000 people came to Japan. This person may be able to defeat the shogunate's army, but he has no power to go ashore to control Edo.

Everything is pretended!

With this preliminary judgment, Mizuno Tadakuni made two-handed preparations. It’s a very important prerequisite to have only one thousand people in Staphyri. If the Uraga fort test can really stimulate the British, it is just a battle. There are still a lot of good cannon fodder on the shogunate. The British army at most Hundreds of people came ashore and beat him one out of ten and twenty, so he wouldn't lose.

If it is tempted to find out that the British are pretending to be strong, that's easy. A wise man speaks without too much redundancy. In a few words, he will be able to make Stalphali understand that he has nothing to do with him this time. We should pack up quickly, and take enough people next time, let's talk about it.

The new army of the shogunate has already started, and the defense is under construction. The next time the British come, they will face the new army of tens of thousands and build a complete defense system for the fort.

When the time comes, it is not all the British who have the final say, but the shogunate also has the confidence to negotiate. Perhaps trade cannot be avoided, but as long as it is controlled in Nagasaki, it is still a year of peace in the world.

Understand, the old man's grasp of people's hearts is indeed not comparable to the young ones like Chuemon and Matsudaira. Although there have been ups and downs in the past, this is not the last thing that I managed to get a successful body and come to a successful conclusion. Because of his ability to hold power in the feudal dynasty, and the ability to land safely, some Zhongyoumen learned.

A major event has come to a safe end. Under Mizuno's suggestion, Tokugawa Ieki realized that he wanted to show the military strength of the shogunate so as not to be underestimated by the outsiders.

At this time, he can be regarded as fully comprehending why Mizuno Tadakuni must prepare and train the new army during his tenure, and must prepare for defense. No one will give you this thing about your face. Others will just spit on your face. This stuff is all earned on his own. If it weren't for the shogunate had artillery and new artillery, he would have seen hundreds of missionaries and priests.

Even if Mizuno Tadakuni wanted to defraud him, he definitely couldn't defraud him. It wasn't that the shogunate had this strength, and this strength was enough to resist the attack of Shitaphali, so that the British threat could be smoothly dismantled.

Therefore, the training team must be expanded, and foreign officers still have to be hired, at least to expand the number to more than 5,000. But that is something to say, now it's like the princes declaring that the shogunate is okay, not to the point of being broken.

So Tokugawa Isaiah ordered all the princes of the Eastern Kingdom to hunt in Koganehara!

Not only the 80,000 knights of the Shogunate Banner mobilized more than 30,000, but also more than 100,000 soldiers from the feudal domains and hired entourages. Hunting is just an excuse. Tokugawa Jiaqing showed off the newly-edited training team of more than two thousand troops in front of the princes.

There are not only standard round shooting and row shooting, but also some difficult tactics such as skirmish shooting and alternate cover advancement. The six-pounder Napoleon gun, purchased from the Netherlands, ran and fired with the army, demonstrating his proficiency. It can increase the firepower of a certain area in a short period of time to forcefully attack the enemy.

Many princes who couldn't know Uraga's internal affairs were speculating that there were few British troops, and this time they must have been forced to retreat by the shogunate. The shogunate's strength still needs to be served carefully.
