"Excuse me, Mr. Pashaly, what is our proposal?"

Chungemon is not feeling distressed by selling Yada. Tokugawa Ikeki is kicking his legs. What else is it saying? If you don’t take this opportunity to tie Japan to a British ship, other countries will still rush one after another. Come, and then lie down on the shogunate to eat and chew.

　　I would rather be a dog for Taiying than let the shogunate die!

　　 "The weather is really hot, can you provide some drinks?" The shock was a little bit big, and Pashali had seen him for the first time in the matter of betraying his sovereignty.

　　 "It's because of our poor reception."

As soon as I heard this, I knew that Pashali wanted to spare some time to think about it. Chungemon went down to the donkey and immediately ordered someone to bring up shaved ice, milk sugar shaved ice, and it tasted good, with a little bit of boiled ice on it. Adzuki beans.

　　 I stopped here for a while. Everyone ate ice and water. Ii Naobi and Matsudaira Masanori Pegasus went to the city to report the results of the first round of talks to the Tokugawa family.

　　 When it was learned that Tadaoemon had fooled the British to Yokohama, the Tokugawa family's tight heart immediately relaxed. As long as the British and American envoys do not enter Edo City, it will be finished. As for opening up trade, setting up tax customs, sending consulates, and even a certain amount of compensation, all of them can be agreed. It is a trivial matter.

　　 Pashali, who was carrying shaved ice, discussed with his assistant Bowlby, and he asked Bowlby, who had also worked in Asia for several years. It stands to reason that the shogunate desperately resisted foreign invasions in order to ensure that the country was shut down. Now the battle is at a stalemate, and the United Kingdom and the United States have indeed not broken the strength of Edo's defense.

　　According to normal circumstances, the shogunate promised to open a port at most, and then trade with restrictions. Fortunately now, Tadaoemon, who presided over the negotiation, directly betrayed the sovereignty of the shogunate. What does this man mean?

　　 "I think His Highness Edogawa admires the British Empire with all his heart." MacDonald expressed his opinion.

　　 "Just admiration?" Pashali felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched.

If it is said that Sheng Haizhou’s group has lived in the UK for five years, went to a British university, and became an "elite", admiring Taiying, hoping to transform their country into a country like Taiying, then it is understandable. . Tademon, who has never been to the UK, why would he take the initiative to be a dog for Taiying?

　　 "Doesn't this indicate the strength of the empire?" MacDonald put down the ice bowl.

　　 Then began to explain Japan's feudal system. Japan was nominally unified under the generals of the Tokugawa Shogunate. In fact, each vassal state was an independent small kingdom. Generals cannot intervene in the actual internal affairs of various countries, but at most decide who should be the main rulers in the domain.

　　 Now the shogunate is gradually weakening, and has gradually lost its ability to suppress the princes. So eager to learn Western advanced industrial and military technology, trying to cheer up the shogunate, so as to maintain the rule of the Tokugawa family in Japan.

　　 "So, the shogunate is actually only the most powerful prince in Japan. The other little princes are either obedient to him, or just superficially submissive?" Pashali understood Chuemon's thoughts a bit.

　　 It feels a little bit that the shogunate is using the tiger skins with the British Empire to frighten the princes who are ready to move in the country. Obviously it was Britain who came to break through the country's gates of Japan. How did the shogunate use Britain to maintain its rule?

"As far as I know, the two princes, Maori and Shimadzu, in southwestern Japan, were defeated by the first general of the shogunate two hundred years ago. The strength of the shogunate has not yet set off a rebellion." McDonald has obviously not done it for nothing in Japan in recent years.

　　 "What's their strength?" Pashali's scum-crumbling temper exploded immediately.

　　 "It's hard to tell, I haven't been there. But some of my students are from there, and they don't think their lord has the power to resist the generals and the shogunate."

　　 "Understood..." I don't know what Pashaly understood.

　　 But a few people discussed it a little bit, and the size also concluded that Chuemon might want to use the power of Britain to develop the shogunate. That being the case, why didn't the United Kingdom get along to increase its influence in Japan? It is a solid first step for Britain to take full control of Japan in the future.

　　 After the break, the peace talks continue.

　　 Those discussed before, basically reached a consensus. As for the development of part of the economic and military cooperation, Pashaley felt that it would not do any harm to Britain.

　　 But here on the railway, Pasha has other ideas. Is it possible to station a certain amount of troops in Yokohama as an employee of the railway company, so that the British can directly intervene in the shogunate when necessary.

　　 After hearing what he said, Chuemon was a little uncomfortable, but thinking about the British people are always professional **** chucks, it is difficult to fool. He simply didn't want him to use the name of a railway escort, and directly stationed diplomatic attaches and small troops in the embassy area.

　　 With the addition of an officer trainer that may be sent to Japan in the future, the United Kingdom will be able to deploy at least five to six hundred regular troops in Japan. If something happens, including the ships and sailors stationed in Yokohama, arming the expatriates, one or two thousand people are at your fingertips. In Japan, you have the power to protect yourself, and even have the power to provoke the situation.

　　 With such a quantity, Pasha Li should be able to be satisfied!

　　 Chungemon agreed readily, and Pasha Li did not ask for more. However, the details of the various terms and conditions need to be determined separately, and will be sent to the shogunate after the British side draws it up, and the shogunate will sign it if approved.

　　 Pasha Li, who felt that he was going to make a big business in Japan, went non-stop and quickly came to the US military camp, found Perry, and relayed the content of the treaty to him.

　　 The basic requirements of the US military have been met, that is, the envoy can only be stationed in Yokohama. However, at the full request of the British side, the shogunate has promised to build a railway from Edo to Yokohama, and it is jointly managed by the British and Japanese to ensure safety.

　　 Perry heard this result, although not completely satisfied, but still barely acceptable. So he sent Zu Abbott to work with the British side to draw up a treaty.

　　 Pasha ordered Bowlby to draw up together with Zu Abbott, and at the same time asked McDonald to have a private contact with Chungemon on another special agreement for Anglo-Japanese aid cooperation outside of the Anglo-Japanese contract.

　　 includes the establishment of a large area in Yokohama, covering the port of the British embassy residence area and other content. It is to back the United States and reach a deeper agreement with Japan.

　　 The blood of the American Marines can't be flowed in vain!

　　 Let's bring the British Empire. As the leader of the "civilized world", we have to pay a little more interest from the shogunate for the heroic American soldiers who sacrificed their blood.
