Edo Traveler

Never thought that the Qing army would be defeated so easily again, the faces of the shogunate ministers on the left and right were uncertain. After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. After cleaning up and taking the Qing country, the foreign powers may not come to clean up the shogunate.

The last time the Anglo-French Allied Forces came from Europe, it was supposed to be a temporary rest in Yokohama, but what happened? Because more than 6,000 troops of the training team were transferred to India, Edo was empty. So the shogunate was forced to further sign a treaty of treason, allowing foreigners to travel freely within Japan and no longer restricted to diplomats.

It also forcibly plundered the survey power of various railways in Japan, and demanded to inject equity into the Tokugawa Railway to obtain equity. The French even wanted to have guards or guards at major sites.

This time, who knows if the British and French armies will finish cleaning up, and come over to teach the shogunate a lesson? It's hard to tell, at least the ministers in front of them feel that this situation is possible.

In history, when Britain and France returned to the European continent, they took advantage of the trend to come to the shogunate to harvest a wave. Extraterritorial rights, Yokohama garrison rights, and residence area jurisdiction were all seized by them. Earl Elgin even said that classic line directly to the minister of the shogunate.

Today, there are only allowed and not allowed!

If you don't allow me, I will immediately drive fifty large soldiers to come over and bombard Edo directly!

Then the shogunate in history was cowardly, very fast. Of course, taking Ying must have the ability to drive fifty warships to East Asia, and Elgin is not a fool. It's just too much of a fuss to mobilize fifty battleships of the Royal Navy for the sake of the shogunate's petty profit.

"I'm only afraid that Britain, France and other countries will have to look to Shu." Songping Qixuan was a little worried.

Now the Qing court is hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles near the capital, the only mobile combat corps has been destroyed, Tongzhou has fallen, and the capital will soon be surrounded. With the performance of the Qing army, the capital may not be able to hold it. At that time, the Qing court will definitely sign a treaty that will even humiliate the country.

Rabbit raking grass and beating rabbits, Songping Qi Xuan was right.

"It shouldn't be." Zu Liu didn't feel that the foreign powers had suddenly changed and became peaceful and sincere.

Mainly because the shogunate has sold everything that can be sold, and now the cooperation with France is very friendly, and with the United Kingdom, it is actually very good. Except for a little dispute and contradiction with Ali Kingdom, other aspects have made great progress and development.

Just as one of the dumping grounds for British textiles and other commodities, Japan belongs to the presence of the British government that needs to maintain diplomatic relations and peace. At most, it is on tariffs, and it is enough to do some articles.

Originally, the current tariffs were determined through negotiation between Britain, the United States and Japan, and the United Kingdom actually controls Binhai Customs and has the right to set tariffs. Under such circumstances, unless the United Kingdom wants to re-occupy the territory, there is really nothing worth asking for it.

"The foreigners' ambitions have coveted our country for a long time." Songping Qimin supported Songping Qixuan's view.

The ministers expressed their own opinions. This is the situation that has not yet happened, and it is almost impossible to convince each other. On the other hand, Chuemon was thinking about another thing, a big thing.

If nothing else, the foreign powers will seize a large area of ​​the concession area outside Tianjin County this time. Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries have all established huge concessions in Tianjin. Then the Russians will find that because of the silting of the Haihe River, Tianjin is actually not suitable as a natural harbor for shelter from the wind.

So the Russians turned to find a new port, and then found Vladivostok (Russian: Владивосток, English:).

We do not know the Chinese name of the place itself. As for his Russian name, it is actually very easy to understand, that is, Chi Guoguo's "rule of the East"!

Once the Sino-Russian Treaty of Peking was signed, the British would find that the Russians had gone further in the Far East. Although Vladivostok was not fully developed until around 1880, it was a more suitable Pacific naval station than Nikolayevsk.

Originally, in history, the vigilant Britain, in order to hinder the terrifying expansion of Tsarist Russia in the Far East, searched all over East Asia, and there was no Adou who could help him, so he chose the eldest brother among the dwarfs. Preparing to support the Qing Dynasty, as the front line against Tsarist Russia, who is to ensure that Tsarist Russia will not obtain warm water and ice-free ports in the Pacific Ocean?

In history, Obi-Qing did not talk about how much he pulled across, and Oi-Qing was very resistant to the olive branch extended by Britain for a while. He even thought that it was Daoying who wanted to harm him, and did not want to accept Daeying's "kindness" at all.

But now history has changed. In addition to the Qing Kingdom, Dai Ying has the Tokugawa Shogunate as a backup option. After witnessing the annihilation of more than 30,000 Qing court officials and troops led by Senggelinqin, Elgin should be able to tell clearly who is a qualified thug in the Far East, even a gold medal thug.

The shogunate may sell itself once again!

This time, I will definitely not sell it cheaply, and Chuemon's thoughts are also very straightforward. We armed ourselves, worked **** our own, and helped to bring Britain to block Russia from outside the Northeast. However, in addition to giving some aid and military supplies, Daiying had to agree to Chuemon for one thing.

Recognize the treaty between the Tokugawa shogunate and the Kingdom of Hawaii, and to some extent support the Tokugawa shogunate's control and occupation of Hawaii, and even more directly, annex the Kingdom of Hawaii!

In such an era when the strong are rampant, UU reading www. uukanshu.com A weak country like Hawaii can be said to have no rights. To put it bluntly, it is an existence that is arbitrarily manipulated by the powerful. Daoying will live if he wants him to live, and Daoying will die if he wants him to die.

The shogunate is not going to annex the Hawaiian kingdom immediately, it is too early. We have to wait for Tsarist Russia to clearly secede Vladivostok and confirm that it is a good deep-water port. At the beginning of the American Civil War, there was no longer any time to pay attention to the outside world.

At that time, it was time to obtain the recognition of the British and ask him to come forward to confirm the ownership of Hawaii.

Take Hawaii as the protectorate first, and when the number of Japanese residents on the island increases enough to affect the election results, there is a possibility of further use. Force Hawaii to hold a national referendum on whether to become a vassal of General Tokugawa, or go further and join Japan.

Chuemon is still relatively certain. By then, the three divisions of the shogunate have been organized, and the troops have sufficient combat effectiveness. Compared with the **** Qing army, the shogunate army was much more qualified and pleasing to the eye.

In order to expel the Tokugawa shogunate as an anti-Russian pioneer, Dae Ying must be willing to betray a little-known maritime country. It is even possible that Daiying will feel that the business is worth doing.
