In Nagasaki Port, the emperor was at a loss. Soldiers and horses from each feudal clan were rushing to deploy defenses, from the fort to Dejima, from the port and town to the Liangbansho and the Liangyue (Nagasaki also practiced a shift system, with one person on duty and one person in the prefecture) , There are running soldiers.

Some soldiers still have armor, but most of them are clothed and clothed, describing thinness. Moreover, most soldiers can only carry knives and long spears, even if the number of matchlocks that are completely behind the times are not too many.

Chuemon and Yoshida Shoin naturally went to Nagasaki to report on Izawa Masain. Chuemon needs to write the itinerary on the shogunate documents, and Yoshida Shoin was here to help. Both of them have to be soldiers of Masayi Izawa to prepare for the next possible war.

Masaki Izawa didn’t have much enthusiasm for Yoshida Shoin. After all, there were too many warriors from the feudal clan who came in these two days, thousands of them, so after a hard speech, he ordered Yoshida Shoin to participate in the town. Security.

After seeing Tademon Tademon who was born in the Shogunate, Masayoshi Izawa was very happy. He was worried about the lack of people around him, and there was no accident at all, so he wanted to pull the strong man Chuemon. Said that he would go to the shogunate to clarify the situation in front of him, and for the time being, Chuemon, the shogunate himself, would work in Nagasaki.

By the way, Masayi Izawa's predecessor is Yasaki Togawa, whom we met in Edo. It doesn't need to be too clear. Nagasaki pursues this lucrative job, and it doesn't last long. Since it must have been done soon, there is no need to be cautious in everything.

Izawa Masanori is also helpless. The Nagasaki who committed suicide as we said before is pursuing Matsuhira Yasuhiro. I hope that the shogunate will send a shogun of more than 5,000 stones to serve as Nagasaki, so that at least Nagasaki can take good care of it. Dozens of people came to take office, so that no one will be available if something goes wrong.

However, there are only a few banners with more than five thousand stones. Compared with Nagasaki's writings that are followed by this distant country, it is more fragrant to hold the power in Edo. No one wants to come.

As a result, Nagasaki still appoints two thousand to three thousand stone flags, and sometimes even only one thousand stone flags. If history is not changed, and the last few terms have been pursued, there will be a royal family with a salary of 100 yuan.

How many retainers can there be a salary of one hundred salaries? Once something happened in Nagasaki, as the highest official of the shogunate in Nagasaki and even Kitakyushu, he was actually a polished commander. You said it was ridiculous. In nominal terms, they can mobilize the soldiers of the vassals, but they must be willing to listen and come. Matsudaira Yasuhiro is not the best example. No one responds to the three-way drumming, and he hurts himself in the end.

The political justice of Izawa in front of him is the banner of Three Thousand Stones. He has brought less than twenty people into office. What can you expect twenty people to do? A sailing battleship that resists thousands of tons in France? Or maybe a shipborne cannon weighing as much as 18 pounds?

Just kidding!

Because of this, Masaki Izawa now sees Chuemon, the shogunate banner, just like seeing his own family, and immediately asks Chuemon to inspect the fort guards of the feudal clan instead of him. Tadaoemon took advantage of the situation and transferred Yoshida Shoin to his own command. This was a trivial matter, and Masayoshi Izawa promised.

But before doing this, you still need to go to the Dutch business hall to understand the situation in France. You still don't need to overestimate the current shogunate and shogunate officials' understanding of foreign countries. Although "Dutch Style Storytelling" is indeed turned in almost every year, and Japan does learn about the latest developments in Europe every year, the news is here, and it is another matter not to watch it.

Nagasaki generally only works for about two to three years. It is not realistic to expect him to read all the records of the last few decades. The shogunate generals and old middlemen, some of whom were ultra-conservatives, were very disgusted with these foreign things. Some are reformists, but they usually let their subordinates look at it first, and then choose the most important report to report to themselves.

So now the shogunate officials up and down Nagasaki don’t even know where France is, whether it is connected to Afghanistan by land, or whether it’s land geometry or other things!

It was also historically that the Netherlands urgently notified the shogunate that the Americans would come to knock on the shogunate in another year, and the shogunate took it seriously and deployed two Dutch translations in Izu Uraga. As a result, the Americans who came did not understand Dutch at all and were blind.

Come on, then go ask...

The Dutch gave a lot of advice. As a European businessman who monopolizes trade with Japan, the cooperation between the Netherlands and the Shogunate is fairly pleasant. Now tell the shogunate, there is nothing wrong with the situation in France.

Masayi Izawa knows a little bit about Britain, and he has worked a little bit after the news of the signing of the "Nanjing Treaty" came. Everyone thought that Britain would take advantage of the victory to attack Japan, but Britain went back like this, and didn't care about Japan at all. I never expected France to come, my eyes were dark.

The first is how strong France is, whether it is similar to Britain, and whether it can mobilize 20,000 troops to Nagasaki and attack Japan like the United Kingdom. What is the preference of the French monarchs now, is there any way to do what he likes and turn the fight into jade, whether it is for beauty or gold and silver.

More importantly, what did France want from attacking Japan? Is it to learn from Britain, to seize a certain island in Japan, or to demand huge war reparations?

Faced with such a question, the Dutch side also answered truthfully, that France is the strongest country in the European Army. Decades ago, I almost challenged the whole of Europe by my own effort~www.readwn.com~ It was almost a step away from uniting Europe. Although defeated in the end, it is also worthy of respect.

France's national strength is also quite good now. There should be no problem sending 20,000 people to attack Japan. After all, in order to suppress the Haitian rebellion, 20,000 people could be sent on an expedition. There is no reason to send 20,000 people to Nagasaki.

France is now in an era when the royalists and republicans are fighting with each other. The royalists temporarily prevailed and the Orleans dynasty reigned. The current French King Louis Philippe is probably not a person who can be impressed by Japanese beauties and gold and silver. Moreover, this thing is not enough to quench his thirst, so let's think of another way.

Finally, regarding the purpose of France, the Dutch side said very clearly. I have reminded you a long time ago. Now that the tide of capitalism is sweeping the world, it is impossible for you Japan to be independent. France is here to open the door of Japan, dump their industrial products, make Japan one of their dumping grounds, and disrupt Japan's natural economy.

This makes Izawa's political justice stunned. What is capitalism? What is also called industrial dumping? Even the Japanese General Manager, which is a translator, does not know how to translate. With regard to this approval, what else did the shogunate talk about? A feudal bureaucrat who **** didn't understand was actually the first-line chief in negotiations with foreign countries.

Why don't I do it...
