Xinshun 1730

Chapter 350
Leaving a field of chicken feathers behind, Liu Yu only took away a small portion of rice and less than 1 taels of gold and silver, and the fleet was about to set sail for Edo.

As for what these people in Tosa will accomplish, it is no longer important.The important thing is that he has finished what he has to show the shogunate and the daimyo. The ruling class will not collect less taxes and less exploitation just because the bottom mud legs are Japanese like them, and the shogunate cannot protect Japan. shogunate.

If you want to protect the shogunate, you have to strictly guard against Tosa's affairs. If you want Liu Yu not to play like this in the future, you have to add money when paying compensation. It's very simple logic.In the Tosa Rebellion, Liu Yu was just trying to prove to the shogunate that he could play like this, and that he could do a lot of tricks.

Boarding the familiar battleship, the gunners fired the cannons to send off according to Liu Yu's order, under the background of sending off all peoples, and in accordance with the specifications of mourning funerals in the Navy Regulations.

Tosa must bleed like a river, and it is sad to say goodbye at this time.

Having seen a lot of life and death, seeing the catastrophe in the Jiaoliao area where one died and one village was killed, Liu Yu didn't express much emotion about this scene, but made a joke amidst the wailing cannons.

"I have to go. King Wu defeated Zhou, and Uncle Boyi starved under Shouyang; Han Gao killed the snake, but I have never heard of Qin people starving to death and not eating Han millet. Staying here, on the contrary, it is easy to call the bottom of the Japanese people Divided into two factions, it is difficult to work together.”

The soldiers of the Marine Corps stayed in Urado Castle for the time being, and only used it as a barracks to give courage to the local Japanese farmers, businessmen, but they would strictly abide by Liu Yu's orders and would not go down the mountain.

They will return with Liu Yu when Liu Yu returns from Edo.And Urado Castle is temporarily used as a naval base, and the expedition ship will be responsible for drawing the coastline map around Shikoku Island on the way Liu Yu goes to Edo, and a large number of surveyors and mappers have also stayed.

Although the marines can fight, Liu Yu is not so arrogant that he can fight against Edo Castle, which is known as one hundred thousand samurai, and Edo Castle has forts, so the fleet just goes around and sends one It is nothing more than a letter to prove that the fleet can reach Edo.

At the beginning of the founding of Dashun, the shogunate also obtained [-]-pound mortars from the Netherlands, and Mr. Hojo wrote the "Dutch Siege Law" with the help of a Swede. There are still some foundations.

Anyway, the Swedish artillerymen were quite capable of walking around in those days. Except for the Celestial Dynasty, there were Swedish artillerymen in Junggar, Rakshasa, Japan, and Burma in the surrounding areas. It also shows that Sweden's artillery skills have two brushes.

There is no intention of raiding Edo, and considering the level of Japan's navy at this time, the rest of the journey can only be used as a tourist.

The real thing to do has been done in Tosa, and Liu Yu's mood is also relaxed.There were also two senior samurai of the Tosa domain on board, the trusted retainers of Yamauchi, who witnessed everything that happened in Tosa.

They will act as messengers to deliver letters for Liu Yu.Originally, Shi Shiyong volunteered to deliver the letter, and his courage was commendable, but Liu Yu estimated that the shogunate would definitely become angry and kill Shi Shiyong.

After all... the first warship in Weihai was earned from trade with Japan, and the officers were trained entirely by the trust card monopoly system of Nagasaki Sekoku, and the trust card that allowed Liu Yu to monopolize the trade with Japan was the shogunate The general handed it over to Liu Yu.

Shi Shi used this Dashun spy to live in Edo for several years. He was also regarded as a guest by some warriors in Edo, and taught the warriors after the restoration of the Eagle Hunting Order how to ride and shoot.

The reason why Shi Shiyong wanted to deliver the letter himself was to let Liu Yu follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou Sanqi Zhou Gongjin and make some big news. It would be best to make Tokugawa Yoshimune angry with a cerebral hemorrhage or something——Shi Shiyong A lot of information was collected in Edo. The eldest son of Tokugawa Yoshimune was an adult who wetted the bed and could not speak clearly. He had the potential of Emperor Jinhui. I think this is an opportunity to start the "Eight Kings Rebellion".

According to what Shi Shiyong thought, when he sent the letter by himself, he would slap the shogunate in the face first, and then Liu Yu would add fuel and vinegar to what happened in these years. The guardian Tokugawa Yoshimune vomited three liters of blood and lost his prestige. From time to time, it has been passed down through the ages.

But Liu Yu's thinking is exactly the opposite of Shi Shiyong's. He wants a seemingly stable shogunate. Otherwise, the shogunate system is over. Where can we find 40 samurai class with spending power?Who will maintain a unified Japanese market?
Shi Shiyong wanted to be famous and honor Shi, but it was a pity that Liu Yu didn't give him this chance, so he felt a little irritable and depressed on the boat.

Apart from writing the translation manual in the cabin, Liu Yu chatted and drank with Shi Shi in the same place, and comforted him: "I also understand Brother Shi's mood. Brother Shi used to be excellent in martial arts. Although he has practiced [-] catties of gunpowder now, he is a master of guns in the army. He used to stand out from the crowd, but now he belongs to the crowd. It is difficult to have a chance to make a name for yourself if you are lost in the crowd."

Shi Shiyong took a sip of the bitter wine and felt that Liu Yu's words had penetrated into his heart. He sighed bitterly and said, "The words of Uncle Ying Sao touched my heart. On the new army In learning, I am far from these young people. I am old and slow to learn things. I am afraid that there will be little use in the future when it comes to bow, horse riding and shooting. The cavalry trained by the means, the personal martial arts are far from mine, but if you form a formation to attack, I can't match it."

"If it is said that the death of the rabbit and the fox is sad... it is unavoidable to say that it really has such a taste."

Shi Shiyong had only heard about the several battles commanded by Liu Yu before, but had never seen it with his own eyes.This time the Tosa Rebellion was the first time he had seen such a battle in the era of real gunpowder flintlock guns and explosive bullets.

Although he can say lightly after killing Dahei and being competitive, times have changed.But he is only keeping up with the times, but it is difficult to stand on the wave of the times as before.

He used to be outstanding in martial arts, but under the background of the Dashun military reform, he was completely lost in the crowd.That kind of exclamation like the last samurai, it is not wrong to use rabbits and foxes to hurt other animals.

For cavalry and cavalry, flintlock guns make his shooting meaningless; the new lancers of the Beijing camp make his cavalry not very important.The era of beheading the generals, capturing the flag and being the champion of the three armies is over, Shi Shiyong sighed, feeling lost and lost.

"Brother Shi, the so-called general trend of the world is mighty and mighty. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Fortunately, the musket on Brother Shi's waist is to follow it. Although Brother Shi is old, his heirs are still there. , should be passed on to the descendants. Why should I be so sentimental?"

"I have my own plan for the matter of the Wa Kingdom. It is a far-reaching plan for the country. Brother Shi wants to leave a name for future generations, so I have an idea."

It is said that the eyes of people who drink too much will lose their luster, but Shi Shiyong's eyes are clearly bright at this moment.

People live for a lifetime, and when they reach a certain point, they either seek fame or profit, and there are always a few people who want to pursue something.

"Brother Shi, have you read "Biography of Heroes"?"

Shi Shiyong nodded and said, "Among the market, who hasn't read it?"

Dashun is not a barbarian, and he still approves of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The reason is very simple: you Zhu Yuanzhang can relieve the people from the upside down, and I, Dashun, can also save the people from the upside down. If you can do it, I can do it too.This book has never been banned, and it has been widely circulated.

Liu Yu's father also used this book as an example for Liu Yu, encouraging him to learn from Ding Xiangbo from the Guo family, and he did not rely on Xijue or type.

"Brother Shi has read it, and if he thinks about it, he also knows the rumors in the market. It is said that this book was written by Guo Xun in the previous dynasty who hired his followers and staff as gunmen. It was to highlight the water battle in Poyang Lake. Guo Ying shot Chen Youliang to death. It is true and false , it’s hard to tell, but everyone knows that Guo Ying shot Chen Youliang to death.”

"Brother Shi lived in Edo, and what he experienced is legendary. In addition, few people in the country know the style and customs of the Wa Kingdom. When the affairs of the Wa Kingdom are settled, why don't Brother Shi find someone to write a novel?"

"Prepare to talk about the undercover Edo incident in the past, or talk about the contest between myself and the No. [-] Japanese swordsman and No. [-] bow. Anyway, no one knows the truth, so Brother Shi can brag about it. The exotic style must spread widely among the market, wouldn’t this be regarded as fame?”

Liu Yu's tone seemed to be joking, but it wasn't all joking. If it was really written, this book would still have some meaning. It's not just a novel, but also a first-hand account of those who experienced it.

Perhaps Shi Shiyong's deepest impression will not be the time when Edo went undercover, but this Tosa Rebellion.If it can be included in the book in the future, it will be of great benefit to spread it among the market.

"If Brother Shi is short of money, I can help find someone to make a gun. Isn't that just right? If you write it out, your name will be known to everyone, and your achievements will last forever."

Shi Shiyong's heart was pounding, he laughed, and his heart was moving, but he was still a little embarrassed, thinking that the Three Kingdoms were not written by Zhuge Liang, and that Yue was not written by Grandpa Yue, and he had never heard that he wrote his own experience. Novel, it is inevitable that people feel that they are too boastful.

But when I think about it again, during my time in Edo, as Liu Yu said, I knew quite a few masters from the Japanese kingdom.He is proud of the art of bowing horse and spear, and he has indeed competed with some masters. As long as he adds a little bit of oil and vinegar, it will be a wonderful thing.

After pondering for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Isn't Ying Sobo some other purpose?"

Liu Yu smiled and said: "I can't say that there is nothing. It's just that I have read a lot of market novels before, whether it is Yue Yue or Saobei, this Northern Dynasty looks like the Guo Dynasty. Except for the weird names, I really can't tell That is the style of the northern country. Brother Shi has really experienced it, and it can be regarded as an example, setting a precedent."

"Furthermore, it is necessary to let the world know that the outside world is quite big, and even the familiar Wa kingdoms have many differences, so that people may wonder what the West is like. Besides, one thousand, one thousand, the times have changed. Lian Shi For a character like brother, who is proficient in bows and horses, and dominates with spears and clubs, he will inevitably feel a lot of sighs, and he will be disheartened, and it will save him from asking people to learn the art of riding and shooting, so he should learn more about it."

"You have ten thousand catties of strength. If you are too old in the world and fight a tiger with bare hands, how can you resist with muskets and cannons?"

Shi Shiyong thought about Liu Yu's usual behavior and thoughts, and thought that this was it.But it’s also good for me, and even just as I wanted, I raised my glass and drank it down, laughing at myself: “I was so beautiful when I was in Edo, and I was as depressed as Tosa when he drew his gun. The hatred of the city; the trouble in Tokyo and the conquest of Liaobei makes the sad sound of Liaoerwa even more obvious. It's really interesting."
