On the Atlantic Ocean, far away from Japan by mountains and rivers, the navy and troop carriers of the United States of America finally arrived at the port of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.

At this time, there is no fierce conflict between the United States and the West. After all, the United States has just overthrown Mexico, and the huge power surrounding the Gulf of Mexico has just begun to build. The contradiction between the north and south of the country is not small, and naturally there is no ambition to seize Cuba and other places.

It can be regarded as maintaining the superficial harmony of the powers.

Perry, who arrived in the Canary Islands, naturally sent someone to inform the British side immediately, and there is no need to rush to London and send a telegram to finish the matter directly. There is no British consulate on the Canary Islands, but there is one in Lisbon. You can directly contact Lisbon and London.

Britain’s attitude towards uniting with the United States to force the shogunate to establish a country is still quite positive. After all, the strength to be mobilized is really insignificant, only a few thousand people. This is for the United Kingdom, which can mobilize millions of heroes from the mainland, Canada, Australia, and India once the war begins. In terms of it, it's not even a dime.

So their reply to Perry was that the Mediterranean Fleet would send two steam frigates to serve as pilot ships for the US Navy to Cape Town, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In addition, there was no need for the British Mediterranean Fleet to send any more crews. Yes, the British army in the Far East missed three melons and two dates, enough for the shogunate to drink a pot.

By the time the Russians demanded the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, the conflict in the Near East had intensified. Louis Bonaparte of France had sent the Marquis of Lavaletti to Constantinople. Consult with the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Yesterday, the Sultan finally succumbed and officially issued an edict to return the protection of the Holy Land Jerusalem to France.

It's not a big news. Perry guessed that there might be another messy dispute in Europe. With Britain's favorite character as a poop-cutter, something must be done.

Who knows?

He just asked how many people the British were planning to send to Japan. Now the shogunate is increasingly prepared in places like Edo Bay and Nagasaki. It is useless to send three people and five people. The American family alone may not be able to bluff the shogunate. .

The British personnel who handed over to Perry assured Perry that the British troops stationed in India and Malay areas would at least transfer two to three thousand people and a certain number of warships to Japan.

Forget it, plus the people brought by the United States, it can be considered to scare people. The United States only sent 50,000 people to attack a huge country like Mexico. For a small, weak and old feudal East Asian country like the Shogunate, a few thousand people are enough.

Although the British’s ability to sell teammates is not small, it will be good for the United Kingdom to make Japan a country. Perry is sure that the United Kingdom will not be dragged down on this kind of thing, so he ended the supply in the Canary Islands and opened up enough. Horsepower, head south to Cape Town.

The British troops stationed in India and the Malay troops, who had received the news a long time ago, mobilized their troops and began to assemble on the front line of Hong Kong, and dispatched personnel to Ryukyu to stock up coal and other supplies when necessary.

"The old and sickness of the Ogosho..." Seeing that there was no one on the left, Ogata Hongan said very bluntly.

Tokugawa Jiaqing is old and sick, and there is actually no good treatment for this condition. His life has come to the end, and he may kick his legs at any time. In the current situation, the best thing is to keep it and live one more day.

You have to say that there is a big Luo Jinxian, give a golden pill, extend your life for ten years, then you may still be saved. Pingxu Fang Hongan's methods are hard to say.

"You can only raise time?" Although Chuemon had some feelings in his heart, he didn't show it.

"Oh..." Ogata Hongan didn't answer, just sighed, and then left without talking to Chuemon.

At this time, who can care about his rudeness. Chungemon originally wanted to catch up and ask if he could live a few more days if he could drink ginseng soup or take some tonics. But when it came to my lips, I still didn't say it. As a Daigosho, Tokugawa Iekei doesn't want to eat anything he wants, and Chuemon is worried about it.

The current situation is that Tokugawa's food intake has been greatly reduced, and he can't eat a bowl of rice at one meal. He can only eat soft and simple foods, and many things are hard to swallow.

I also blame those imperial chefs, who often add a lot of pine nut powder in order to add flavor to the food when making dishes. It may be good to eat at ordinary times, but I will only feel bored when Tokugawa Ikeki is like this.

"Uncle Tsuyama." Turning around, Chuemon saw a character who rarely climbed into the castle.

The lord of Misaku Tsuyama, Matsudaira Qimin, was also the son of Tokugawa's Qi, and he was ranked 15th. He is a graceful character, who doesn't care much about power and is obsessed with education and culture. So when the kinsmen and vassals competed on the political stage of Edo Castle, this old man was just poems and paintings to entertain himself.

Even if he came, it means that the ruling upper shogunate had a foreboding that Tokugawa Ikeki might not be worried. So being able to see one side is one side, and it's a free gift before leaving.

"It's Chuemon." Matsudaira has met with Chuemon at various ceremonies. He only said that the "farce" on the day of acknowledging his relatives would be an individual that will never forget in his life.

"Ogosho is talking with Shimaru, you came just right." Chuemon hurriedly led the way.

Tokugawa Jiaqing, who was in the room, looked at Shiwan who was sitting on the sidelines, and the two grandparents were very happy. Shimaru is now very proficient in calling people, and he is not unfamiliar with Tokugawa Kaki. Mainly because Tokugawa Ikeki meets there must be rewards~lightnovelpub.net~ Whether it is toys or snacks.

"Quittang is here..." Seeing Songping Qimin, Tokugawa Jiaqing took the initiative to speak.

At this time, people seem to be particularly eager for family affection. Whether it is children, grandchildren, brothers, it is best to gather in front of them.

"Thinking that the weather today is fine, come and see you." Because Qimin Songping has no political pursuits, he is very free and easy. Instead, he talks with Tokugawa Jiaqing more casually and directly.

Adding to the fact that the two are brothers again, or brothers who have separated and adopted themselves, there is really nothing to decorate about what to say at this time.

"It's very good." Tokugawa Jiaqing saw that the sun was just right today, and with one look, the attendants opened the barrier door, showing warm brilliance from the left and right, and even the singing of birds.

"Take Shiwan to see the oriole." Perhaps it was something that came to mind, Tokugawa Jiaqing ordered such a sentence.

Chuemon knew, and immediately took the child out. The attendants on the left and right hurriedly withdrew, leaving Songping Qimin to speak with Tokugawa Kayuki.
