Edo Traveler
Vol 7 Chapter 38: Shidifli came ashore
Cultivating a class of local compradors or agents who are friendly to Britain is also one of the important means of British colonization. In fact, Stavanger does not reject the policy of transforming the upper-class rulers of the colony into the British.
If the young and vigorous samurai in front of you finally turned into a British comprador agent in Japan because he admired the strength and advancement of Britain, what would be so bad?
It's better than cultivating a few wastes!
It's impossible to buy Yoshida Shoin in a few words, but Staphyri did the opposite. He did not threaten to intimidate Yoshida Shoin, nor did he immediately promise Yoshida Shoin. Instead, he took him to observe the British warship he was riding, and introduced in detail the structure of the warship, the power of the artillery, and so on.
Being flexible and changeable has always been a masterpiece of British bureaucrats!
To put it bluntly, it is a young man with conviction like Yoshida Shoin. There is no way to win him over with money or fear of violence. If you want to win over Yoshida Shoin, you must shake Yoshida Shoin's faith. Once Yoshida Shoin's faith is shaken and he becomes admiring Britain, he may become a fanatical supporter of Britain. Becoming a "spiritual British person" loves Britain more than ordinary British people.
And the best way to shake Yoshida Shoin's faith is to show him the unparalleled industrial capabilities of the British Empire and the powerful military weapons.
After the whole ship had finished watching the flowers, Stafari gave Yoshida Shoin a pocket watch as a gift for the meeting. First set up the so-called civilized and polite person of the British gentleman, so that Yoshida Shoin can create a good impression.
As for the negotiation, Stalfali will definitely have to discuss it internally. Even if Wen Xian had given instructions, negotiation is a matter of preparation in advance and on-site performance. It doesn't hurt to prepare more.
Returning to Uraga with the "goodwill" of the British, Shoin Yoshida recalled the mighty British warships. Although the steam-powered cruiser was still a wooden shell, the bottom of the ship was actually covered with copper and steel plates were sandwiched between the planks of the hull. Above the ocean, it is like a fortress, arrogant to the crowd.
"According to the British person Tafali, there are 200 gunboats of this class in the UK, which is more majestic, and there are more than 100. They cross the world and are invincible." Shoin Yoshida couldn't imagine for a while. Such a scene.
Indeed, at this moment, Britain has at least 600 warships cruising over the five oceans, maintaining the majesty of his empire that never sets. If you add other transport ships, small boats, etc., the family base with the British navy is really a grand scene of the thousand sails, let alone the Tokugawa shogunate, you may not have to do it if you pull all of France, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United States. The British Royal Navy.
"One day, Japan will have such a big ship..." Tadaoemon patted Yoshida Shoin on the shoulder.
"There will be it!" The young man looked at the British warship on the ocean.
"What does the negotiation say?"
"The British said that after they negotiated, they would send someone over to fix the negotiation time."
"it is good!"
The next day, Songping Qixuan arrived as scheduled. The 40-kilometer wide official road, he walked for more than four days with the waste of the Ou Jiechang team, and he could only walk less than 8 kilometers in a day. This is still Marching in the country, alas, there is nothing to say.
Qixuan Matsudaira, who rode his horse into the camp, saw that the flagpole was inserted high on the top, hanging the head to show the public, and he dismounted and asked Chungemon, but there are deserters in the camp? Chuemon waved his hand and recounted Toda Shiei's bad affair. Songping Qixuan heard a lot of blue veins on his forehead. When is the time, there are still things digging the corner of the shogunate.
"It's a good fight! If I'm here, don't let him die so cheap!" Sure enough, Qixuan Matsudaira hated the helpless Toda Shirong who had no way to help the people.
"Xiaguan killed Qimoto without authorization, and please convict you." Regardless of whether this matter was done right or not, Chungemon's attitude of admitting his mistake must be correct.
"What's wrong with you, I can kill this servant, and I will tell you from Shangju." Matsudaira Qixuan only hated that he didn't cut the servant with a single knife, and I blamed Chuyemon.
Toda Shisei, who was ordered to be beheaded by Chuemon, is now on the blacklist of Matsudaira Massuno. Our little bully made a military report and directly stabbed his brother Tokugawa Ikei. It is said that the two major crimes of Toda Shirong are: one is to miss the military opportunity and the supply is very short; the other is to please the foreign barbarian and regard the foreign barb as the king.
With these two accusations, even if Toda Shirong was cut a thousand times, it should be. Tokugawa Jiaqing read the military newspaper and ordered that Toda's family be ransacked on the spot, deprived of all knowledge and action, cut off his family, and all men in the family should be amputated. Of course, this is all for the rest, let's talk about Uraga's side first.
"Don't gossip, what's going on with Yingyi?" Throwing the whip to the attendant, Songping Qixuan looked towards the sea.
"I have already informed the British and are waiting for their reply."
"Are Yingyi's warships sharp?"
"Tottaro once boarded the British ship."
After that, Chuemon introduced Yoshida Shoin to Matsudaira, and then Yoshida Shoin told Matsudaira about what he had seen and heard on the British warship. Almost a lot of the words of Staphyrlic, UU reading www.uukanshu.com directly relayed the original words.
With Uraga's old fort, it must be unable to resist the British army. The Shinagawa forts on the Edo side should still have the power of a battle, but there are gaps on the sides and rear of the forts. The British have fought old battles. Once they find out, the Shinagawa forts will be finished.
If the British army landed, the Ao Jie Keng team would not say it, the Chuan Xi team may only be able to block one block...
Matsudaira, who fought to death in Edo Castle, had the courage and determination to fight to death for Tokugawa Ieki, but the shogunate was over when the shogunate was over. There are no more powerful weapons that can be used to resist the British invasion.
"Oh..." Songping Qixuan's fist hit the table heavily, very distressed.
"My lord, the British sent a boat ashore." A soldier from the mission team outside reported loudly at the door.
"Bring it here!" Chuemon hurriedly ordered.
Stavroy was soon introduced into the official office. His father was the deputy governor of Hong Kong and the commander of the British navy in Hong Kong. Of course, he could not go ashore. At least you need to have a certain amount of foreign exchange with the shogunate before you can consider going ashore.
And Shidifoley, who was taken ashore, and three British officers are carefully observing the mental outlook of the soldiers in the training team and their armed conditions.
Uraga’s fort is not worth mentioning, but the mission team brought by Tadaoemon and Matsudaira Chisun and Napoleon’s six-pound guns are somewhat on the shelf.
"Perhaps Uraga is not so easy to conquer..." Stefoli murmured.
(If you owe it, make it up more slowly. It will be made up.)
