Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 809 Mission to China (fourth update)
A letter from the capital?Who could it be from?brother?

Da Yuer opened the envelope with curiosity, and what came into view was a series of beautiful handwriting.What she saw made her hands tremble slightly.

"Miss, what happened?" Some officials from the household department were a little excited when they saw Da Yuer's bright eyes, and they couldn't help wondering.

"Recently we have introduced a lot of new measures. Whether it is Chinese merchants or Japanese merchants, it will take time to digest. We just need to continue to observe and record in the next few months. So I will return to the capital in a few days Come back after the Lantern Festival." Da Yuer put away the letter, couldn't restrain her joy, and smiled at everyone.

Many young officials couldn't help but stare blankly, but they quickly said anxiously: "What about us?"

"You guys stay at Yokohama Port for the holidays. I believe you guys won't be lonely here." Da Yuer gave them an encouraging look, then swung her long skirt and left here briskly.

"Ah—" The rest of the officials of the household department look at me and I look at you. Without Da Yuer, what's the point of a group of elders gathering together for the festival!
Finally, I can return to the capital.The corners of Da Yu'er's mouth could not help but rise slightly.The letter I received just now was sent by people from the Elato intelligence department.In the letter, Aila invited her to return to the capital for the festival, and she had already been approved by the Ministry of Household Affairs.Although Da Yuer asked to come to Japan to take office in advance out of inexplicable emotions, she still wanted to return to the capital during the holidays.

It is not only Da Yuer who wants to go to the capital, but also Tadakatsu Sakai.

Inside Tadakatsu Sakai's temporary mansion, a group of servants were packing their bags.In a few days, he will lead the shogunate's envoys to China, which is an unprecedented event.He was already one of the most senior officials of the shogunate, and there were very few such Japanese officials in the entire history who went to the capital of China.

"Sakai-san, how long do you plan to stay with the envoys to China?" Abe Tadaaki knelt and sat opposite Sakai Tadakatsu.

"At least it will take three months, but the Kyushu Army doesn't follow the routine at all, maybe they will be detained there." Tadakatsu Sakai was a little afraid of being detained by the Kyushu Army.

In his eyes, the members of the Kyushu Army are not normal people, otherwise how could they come up with so many novel things?

"Sakai-kun, please be at ease, they are arrogant, and they don't seem to be the ones who will detain us." Abe Tadaaki said.

Sakai Tadakatsu was slightly suffocated by Abe Tadaaki's words, and he couldn't help but think of the embarrassing thing that Dayuer despised that day.

"Since the Kyushu Army knocked on the pass, the good situation of our shogunate has taken a turn for the worse. First, the rebel army headed by the Satsuma clan moved eastward, then Yokohama became a concession, and then the Huaxia Society jumped up and down, which caused us to know how many things. Troubled. Fortunately, the rebels were defeated and are now retreating in Kansai. After the Kyushu Army occupied Yokohama Village, they did not continue to expand..." Abe Tadaaki said.

"No, they have been thinking of ways to expand, and they are even building the railway from Yokohama Port to Edo Castle, but this railway has not been completed yet. I am leading the mission to Huaxia this time, not only to the capital of Huaxia , but also specifically to see their railways. To learn more about their technology and judge their impact! If it is beneficial to us, we will learn it, if it is harmful, we must come up with countermeasures! "Sakai Tadakatsu mentioned the Edo-Yokohama Railway under construction.

"Sakai-kun's worries are not unreasonable. The Kyushu Army seems to be in a corner, but in fact they are using other means to expand their influence!" Abe Tadaaki also understands the influence of the Kyushu Army on Japan.

The actions of the Kyushu Army, whether overt or covert, did not seem to directly attack the shogunate, but they were no less powerful than muskets and artillery.

"There are also those comprador merchants and people from the Huaxia Society. They are all damned, helping the Kyushu Army to infiltrate everywhere. The jumping clowns of the Huaxia Society are even more annoying to me. Fortunately, the killer you sent last time, Mr. Sakai, surprised Tanaka Cheng Now, they are much more secure now." Tadaki Abe talked about the comprador businessmen in Dongying and the Huaxia Society led by Chengyi Tanaka.

"Tanaka Chengichi is just a mad dog that bites people. Only such a mad dog would have the guts to assassinate officials of our shogunate. As long as we are crazier than him, he will be afraid." Sakai Tadakatsu said.

"Sakai-kun, I heard that when Tanaka was assassinated, the assassin was sent to assassinate seven core members of the Huaxia Society at once. That assassin is really powerful." Abe Tadaaki said with emotion.

"So what if you killed the seven core members? Tanaka Chengyi escaped by chance, and now he is hiding in the barracks of the Beiyang Fleet and dare not come out. Although my dead soldiers are powerful, they cannot infiltrate the army and carry out assassinations." Said Tadakatsu Sakai .

"However, Mr. Sakai, your dead men are already very powerful. If it was the group of dead men I raised, none of them would be able to kill seven people." Abe Tadaaki said.

"That dead man is not of ordinary origin, does the Fumo family know?" Sakai Tadakatsu said in a low voice when he saw that he and Abe Tadaki were the only ones around.

"The Fuma clan is a ninja family during the Warring States period. They specialize in assassinations and intelligence gathering for daimyo and castellan. However, when the shogunate was established, the Tokugawa family was afraid of their abilities and took advantage of the internal strife among several families Arrest them all, and then exterminate the family... Could it be?" Abe Tadaaki looked at Sakai Tadakatsu.

"That's right. At that time, I followed the Tokugawa family and participated in the execution of these shady intelligence personnel. However, I was amazed at their family's ability, so I privately rescued a young woman who had mastered the assassination skills of the Fumo clan, and specially prepared for us The Sakai family worked hard," Sakai Tadakatsu said.

"It's really surprising, but that woman is probably 40 or 50 years old by now." Abe Tadaaki said in surprise.

"No, the dead man in my hands is not the woman I rescued at that time, but the daughter she gave birth to with a Han pirate. I sent her to assassinate a Han pirate active in the Hirado sea area, but she was killed by the Han instead. The pirates have been plundering for ten years. I have to say that the Han people are really powerful. Later, the Han pirate and the woman of the Fengmo clan were killed by other Han pirates in a naval battle. When their daughter was found by me, she had already learned the skills of the Fengmo clan. Tadakatsu Sakai talked about the past, "Do you know who the Chinese pirates who killed her parents were? Now the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, Zheng Zhilong."
