Edo Traveler

v9 Chapter 14: It's also joy to hear it while forbidden

Putingya returned to the ship from Uraga and hurriedly summoned his subordinates, and also the captain of the fleet's flagship "Aurora" [Note 1] Naval Captain Izrmetev to discuss.

   With the current four large and small warships of the Russian Navy, did the shogunate challenge the strength of the turrets set up in Uraga and Futtsu? Is it possible for naval soldiers to land ashore and defeat the shogunate stationed on the fort?

   Izrmetev did not go ashore before, and only watched the shogunate soldiers arrayed on the beach and the fortresses lined up with artillery positions. The entire Russian army is full of calculations, with only a thousand comers. In addition to the necessary left-behind sailors, at most five or six hundred people came ashore.

   With only five or six hundred people, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the shogunate army of more than two thousand people mentioned by Putinya. Even if it is defeated, the Russian army's losses must be very heavy.

   And the shogunate must have more than two thousand people. The information obtained in Hong Kong is that the shogunate has an army of about 10,000 people, distributed in the defense department from Edo Bay to the main city of Edo for dozens of kilometers.

   There are hundreds of people in the Russian army, certainly not enough for them. And even if the defenses of Uraga and Futtsu were broken, the defense of the Shinagawa Fortress inside was not broken even by the British and American forces that had come to the battle, let alone the Russian army.

   I can't do it, please be smart!

   Seeing Izlmetev's resignation, Putinya was very upset. In the Amur River (why I use this name, not because I am not patriotic, but because of auditing and reporting), even two or three hundred Russian troops can intimidate the local garrison. In Uraga, four battleships and thousands of Russian troops have to return without success?

Negotiations continued on the second day. Puttingya changed a routine and no longer threatened with force. Instead, he asked the shogunate to establish a country in Russia under the pretexts of "consistent nations", "freedom and equality", and "world axioms", and obtained peace with Britain and France. The same so-called most-favored-nation treatment.

   The answer that Chuemon gave him was of course no good. You can come to trade, except for this. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking about?

   Since Peter the Great, Tsarist Russia has been seeking navigation in all oceans of the world!

   Now that St. Petersburg, the estuary of the Baltic Sea, has been obtained, the Black Sea is competing with Ottoman and Britain and France behind the Ottoman. The rest is the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The key to the Indian Ocean contention lies in the regions of Iran and Afghanistan. The competition in the Pacific is concentrated in the Far East.

  If there is a chance, you can ask Nicholas I and Alexander II if they are willing to seize a piece of land in Japan and obtain a permanent ice-free port in the Pacific Ocean.

First forced Japan to establish a country, and then obtained a large area of ​​residence, and then became a concession, or the 999-year concession, plundering all the economic and political power in the concession area, and in the end it became the land of Tsarist Russia. Isn't it this set?

   Your kid’s ambitions are probably greater than those of the United Kingdom and the United States. The two countries are basically supporting the comprador regime and expanding economic aggression. If you have a chance, it is true that you eat the shogunate in one bite.

   In the face of Tademon, who was unable to enter, Putinya realized that she had no means to counteract it. Is it too far from the European part of Tsarist Russia? If it is in Europe, would Tadaoemon dare to talk to Putinya like this? Before the words were over, the Czar's army of millions was at his doorstep.

   In fact, it is a pity in Chuyemon's heart that in March of this year, Britain and France declared war on Russia. If your boy arrives a month later, the ship will be detained by Hong Kong's Wen Xian as soon as the ship sails into Hong Kong. You guy in this ship, you immediately became a prisoner of Taiying, and you could have a good talk with my shogunate.

   If the shogunate’s strength is stronger, the shogunate directly detains you and the ship and people, in fact, it is in line with the international convention. The shogunate and the United Kingdom have a special agreement for cooperation. Britain and Tsarist Russia are at war, and the shogunate is justified in assisting the British.

   Still not strong enough!

   It's a pity that although these four are behind, they are still pretty good Russian warships.

  , the negotiations broke down completely, Putinya became an unwelcome person in Japan, and Tadaoemon ordered the Russian fleet to leave Japan within a limited time, not allowing it to stay in the sea near Japan.

   Puttingya was so angry that he left Uraga in the boat and left Uraga in the boat. It's not known exactly where to go.

   News of the great diplomatic victory between the shogunate and Lucia was sent back to Edo in the first place. The Quartet marveled, how come the country of Lucia, which has been aggressive in Ezo, ate behind closed doors at the shogunate and was expelled by the shogunate?

   The princes' evaluation of the shogunate's strength couldn't help but adjust again. Waiting for one or two thousand people, there is no threat to the shogunate. It is impossible to shake the shogunate's rule with a few thousand new troops.

   It was Ii Naobi in Edo. After seeing Chuemon, he subconsciously asked, which was quite unexpected.

   "Can Lucia borrow money?"

   You kid can have a snack. You can pluck hair from any country, but you can’t pluck anything from Tsarist Russia. Don't talk about borrowing, it would be nice if he doesn't ask you for money. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

   There's still more, now that you have so much money, you just borrowed (shielded) addiction. Anyone wants to borrow money, is this appropriate?

   However, after all, Ii Naobi is also a "locker of the country", and being able to surrender the requirements of Tsarist Russia for the founding of a country, this can be regarded as his great political achievement in office. It is enough to show that he did not support the founding of the country. It was purely inferior to humans. He was forced to found the country after he was unable to fight for a while. If I have enough strength in the future, I will surely fight against the barbarians.

   "The rappelling news is sent to Jingzhong and will be played by Owari Hou." At this point, Ii Naobi ordered the news of the expulsion of the country of Lucia and sent it to Kyoto.

   Not only expressed to Emperor Xiao Ming that the shogunate still had the ambition to fight against the barbarian, but also with this news, speeded up the speed of the selection of noble women in Beijing, so as to facilitate the marriage of the public and military as soon as possible.

   Tokugawa Keiho, who was visiting to investigate the Yishishi, received this news and was also inexplicably surprised. He was pleased that the shogunate was capable of normal diplomacy on an equal footing with foreigners, which showed that the shogunate he loved was still good and would not fall so quickly.

  The happy Tokugawa Keiho rushed to the forbidden area and shared the news of the shogunate's expulsion of the Russian fleet to his friend Xiao Minghuang.

   Xiao Ming, who learned of this, praised the shogunate again and again, saying that he still has to rely on the shogunate to fight against the barbarian. I am very optimistic about the shogunate.

   [Note 1]: This ship is not the same ship as the Aphrodite that established the red regime with the sound of gunfire. The Russians named naval ships and seem to like to play and inherit this set. The ship in front of me is a pure sail warship, with 44 cannons and about 300 crew members, roughly regarded as a frigate.
