The speed of recruiting troops was very fast. The original quota was no more than 5,000 people. In the end, some actually enlisted more than 5,700 people. Many came late, and when they heard that the recruitment was over, they still lamented, and still asked themselves when the next recruitment was.

How would I know?

When the next time to recruit troops, it depends on whether Ii Naobi and Matsudaira Qixuan are willing to pay their respects and stop borrowing foreign debts, or whether the shogunate can have a little more money in the finances or something.

Naobi Ii was in Osaka. Hearing that the recruiting went well, he was very happy to come over to inspect. In the end, there are still more loyal ministers than rebels these days, and so many people are willing to carry guns for General Tokugawa, so our general is still popular.

For such a matter, Naobi Ii also called Hongchi and Mitsui two shogunate royal merchants, donated more than 5,000 rice, as a settling fee for the recruits, and took them out to reward the troops and encourage them to practice well. It is not only to enhance the military strength of the shogunate, but also to purify the military strength of the shogunate in the country.

If there is a plan to create a new third division, Chuemon's guess is that the third division must be in Nagasaki. Nagasaki can radiate (radiation in various senses) Kyushu and Xiguo, and there is a division of the army guarding Nagasaki, so the frontier defense in the southwest is more powerful.

"What's the situation with the instructors sent by France?" Naobi Ii met with the Count of Roche and Lieutenant Colonel Chano Noir, and he did not bother to meet other foreigners.

"Proficient in combat skills, serious in teaching." Chuemon is definitely not a fool today, they are indeed here to help us, but their intentions are a little bad.

"That's good..." Naobi Ii still believed in Chuemon's vision.

When he has trained 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers for the shogunate, then he will also be right to the entrustment of Tokugawa Jiaqing before his death. The original strength of the Tokugawa clan was the so-called 80,000 cavalry of the banner, that is, 5,000 of the banner and 18,000 of the royal family. In the heyday, there were 80,000 people directly under the army, which was enough to give orders to the princes.

Japan is not a big country. As long as the shogunate has the strength to suppress the second and third children, the people behind will not be able to jump out of any demons without a strong lead.

"It's a matter of fact, it's okay to laugh." Chuemon suddenly remembered what happened to the former child in the martial arts field.

Isn't the Second Osaka Division going to train 120 cavalry, so the shogunate must choose cavalry officers. If the French wanted to come, how could there be modern cavalry officers in the shogunate, there was no such thing, and they must have come in person in the end.

The fact is indeed as they expected, the shogunate really did not have it. But we can't stand Chuemon's butterfly wings. Everyone still remembers the man who was chosen by Chuemon to go to the UK, studied for five years, and finally returned after studying. In the end, he could only pull the British ocean horse and give it to the training team. The boy who is the messenger?

The young man's name is Jiang Lianyao, the younger brother of Genichiro Shimura, the head of the shogunate, who was adopted by the shogunate Jiang Lian's family. By the way, let's gossip, this young man's wife is Enomoto Takeyo's sister. Either way, he was a member of the shogunate, and he was relatively loyal to the shogunate.

Therefore, after the French suggested the establishment of a cavalry team, Jiang Lianyao, who had served as a messenger for several years, was transferred from Edo to Osaka by the shogunate, ready to serve as the head of the cavalry. A shogunate flag book like him doesn't need to start out as a non-commissioned officer like the soldiers. Besides, he has been in the military academy for eight or nine years now, and his qualifications are long enough.

It turned out that Jiang Lianyao, who was wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant of the British light cavalry, came to serve as the head of the cavalry, and the French were not happy.

what's going on? Do you think that our French cavalry is no match for the mere British cavalry?

Jiang Lianyao himself happily took over the cavalry team that belonged to him, but he ran into several French lancer and light cavalry officers with five men and six men. How intense is the spark?

Good guy, three French and one English!

The ping bell and pong banged on for a while, and it was a dead end in the end. Mainly, you, a French cavalryman and a British-style cavalryman trained by the British, fight right away, and it is not a trick to kill. What kind of flowers can this play out with each other? It wasn't the last entanglement for a while, and they parted breathlessly.

Come on, staring on both sides, can only make do with the spark of passion. The training team must have wanted the shogunate's own family members to serve as officers. The shogunate managed to cultivate this idea of ​​modern officers, how could they be willing to cast idle. You're just trying to figure it out in your training.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan Yingmin and Jiang Lianyao, who were in charge of the 2nd Osaka Division, were still first-year foreign students, but Jiang Chuan Yingmin went to study the Navy, while Jiang Lianyao studied the Army Cavalry and did not study in the same school.

The whole team started a formal training!

At the same time, the railway was finally repaired to Osaka. From design and planning, to field survey, and finally to the completion of construction, the major project of the Tokaido Railway Trunk Line, which lasted more than three years, was finally completed. UU reading www.uukanshu. com, the center of the east and west of Japan, is also the political center and economic center of the whole country, and finally communicated together.

Many wealthy merchants in Osaka are especially happy, whether it is sending news to Edo or meat in the future

It will no longer be difficult to rush to Edo. It is even possible to do it, in the store in Edo and the store in Osaka, with a guarantee of reconciliation the next day.

This may seem like a normal development, but it actually has a very big effect. The Osaka and Edo merchants, who already have some experience in issuing financial credit and currency, can quickly check and sort out the accounts of the two places by telephone and railway.

In the future, after large bills are issued in Edo and Osaka, the difficulty of redemption in other places will be greatly reduced. If you are really unsure, it is not impossible for you to take the large bills exchanged by others, fly to Osaka, and confirm it for you overnight, and return to Edo the next day to exchange them for others.

Under normal circumstances, you can pay by directly confirming the above marks and details with a telegram. Perhaps after a few more years of development, the prototype of the bank may appear in Edo or Osaka.

There is no doubt about the dynamism that capital possesses when it is profitable. Anyway, their vitality is definitely stronger than that of the vast majority of Hamoto's family members who already know that the shogunate is going downhill, but are still drunk.

Chuemon is not going to deliberately lead this to happen. It is best to wait for the market to evolve and develop a mature and effective operation mode.

Now that we have obtained a large amount of gold spot from Satsuma, it can be handed over to Ginza drum for coins. When Ninomiya Zunxing succeeds in developing his sideline business in the countryside, Chungemon will gradually invest the money in the rural market and flow into the hands of farmers.
