Edo Traveler
Vol 7 Chapter 47: Fortress in Futtsu, Soju
Now Chuemon has two major events in his hands. One is to assist Matsudaira to train the newly recruited one thousand and hundreds of people. The actual training is Pedro and Egawa Hideryu in charge, and Chuemon is responsible for being a good man. Just care about the lives of the soldiers.
Father Yan asked others to do it. It would be good for us to be a "loving mother" role. Every day we will roll out the names and watch them practice. Finally, we will have some inquiries and in-depth exchanges with them, and we are all done.
Another thing is the accelerated construction of the second phase of the Edo Bay Fortress, which is actually more stressful than the training of the transfer team. Because the fort is in the bright spot, it can be seen clearly by Tokugawa Ieki.
To put it bluntly, it was a kind of self-comforting psychology. After all the fortresses that fell in the bright spot were repaired, and the Edo Castle was completely covered by a group of fortresses, this person could deceive himself, safe, safe, and everything is safe.
Therefore, Hideryu Egawa and Tadaoemon, who directly supervised the defense group of the Edo Bay Fortress, became the directly responsible persons, and the hired Dutch engineer Haderes had to work overtime.
This time foreign warships invaded the waters of the shogunate, under the auspices of Mizuno Tadakuni, it really flicked Sethwari away, but this time it was basically settled with the British Liangzi. The British minds about Japan will not be extinguished. As long as they obtain permission to mobilize their forces on a large scale, Hong Kong and India will surely mobilize centaur warships and come to knock off again.
Everything is urgent, we have to take care of it one by one!
Anyway, the first phase of the Shinagawa Fortress designed by Hadles before is very good, and the following works are entrusted to him. We can check the progress of the project every few days.
This time, the stalwart knocking on the Seki Uraga also made the previously planned Uraga Gurihama Fort and the Shanghai Futtsu Fortress have to be put on the agenda immediately. And the pair of gates in Edo Bay was firmly closed, and one more insurance was added to Edo.
The two forts at Uraga Jiulibang and Shanghai Fujin actually mean the same thing as Lushun on the Liaodong Peninsula in the neighboring mainland and Weihaiwei on the Jiaodong Peninsula. Strengthening the defenses at these two places will make it difficult for the enemy to rush into Edo Bay without any scruples. As long as they dare to rush, they must be prepared to be cut off.
Originally, these were all three-phase construction plans. When Mizuno Tadakuni laid out the construction of the Edo Bay defense system, these were the tasks of the next senior middle school five or six years later. Now they are all forced to put on the agenda and start construction together.
Apart from these two major events, we have added another one now, and we have to prepare for the establishment of a foreign school!
However, the school’s preliminary preparations are all in charge of Zhu Liu, and he needs to coordinate the general application there, hire migrant workers, expand and renovate a school that is large enough. No matter what, the problem of the teaching place has to be solved, and then we can talk about running the school. You can't let students study in the wild, that's a joke.
And Yongsuke Roku is busy, Tademon has to accompany Hideryu Egawa and Haderes to go to Kamso-Futtsu to select the site for the fort. At the same time, he has to hire civilians to prepare the port town and the observation deck, beacon tower and other buildings. . It’s not a good idea to flatten out the construction site first, so that it is convenient for the craftsmen behind to construct, and it is also convenient for Hardles surveying and mapping.
By the way, I was also frightened by Staphyri. Tokugawa Ieki, who had always scraped money outside, waved his hand and said that the initial payment for the construction of the fort on Uraga and Futtsu was 100,000. Two golds, he will poke out from the inside. To put it bluntly, he paid his own living expenses or private money to pay for military expenses, which was regarded as a personnel task.
(For information, I don’t know about Tokugawa Ieki’s historical haunts, but the Tokugawa family decided it was based on Ii Naobi’s persuasion. With reference to Tokugawa Ieki’s mental state, I don’t rule out that Ii Naobi helped him do it. The possibility of "Ming Jun".)
So Nagai Hisashi, who was in charge of the internal storage, was also sent out, and went with him to inspect the total cost of the project. After all, there is no need to reclaim the sea this time, and the cost can be greatly reduced. The down payment of one hundred thousand taels should be more than enough.
Uraga is the west gate of Edo Bay, and Futtsu Peninsula is the east gate. When the two sides are closed, the gate of Edo Bay can be secure. However, due to geographical reasons, the Futtsu Peninsula is relatively behind, so in the early years the shogunate set up the place to manage ships entering and leaving the Edo Bay in Uraga, which is farther away.
As a result, Uraga has at least an old fort, guarded by dozens of officers and soldiers from the shogunate, and has developed a port town with thousands of people. The most conspicuous one on the Futtsu side is the Naerizuka Tumulus. In addition, there are several small fishing villages along the entire peninsula beach.
By the way, there is still a village under the Neilizhong Kofun Mountain. There are probably hundreds or more than a thousand people. The plains are rare, and there are flat areas. Even if the draft is slightly more difficult, the drink is brackish water, which does not interfere. The common people grow wheat and beans around here.
Standing on the burial mound, Chuemon thought that this ancient burial mound was so remote that it would not be recognized as an imperial tomb by the silly critics of the palace hall. If it is recognized as the imperial mausoleum in a few decades, it will be fun, we can also be considered to have fun at the grave, and have played a game, hahahahahahaha...
I was joking, I'm here to do errands, can I just think of the tomb head, I still have to repair the fort for Tokugawa Jiaqing.
Fortunately, there is such a big bag, and the small Futtsu Peninsula has a panoramic view. Yinglong Jiang is discussing with Haderes whether to install a fort at the tip of the peninsula, or to change the fort into two, one for the outside and the other for the inside.
Hadless’s idea is very simple. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has not considered victory before defeat. If the foreign invading fleet is very powerful and breaks through the fortresses on both sides of the strait, then even so, the Fujin Fortress can still be against foreign fleets. Cause a certain threat.
Egawa Hideryu glanced at Hisashi Nagai. He was afraid that the cost would be too high, so he bluffed Tokugawa Ieki. If Tokugawa Jiaqing doesn't pay for it, then everything is in vain. First, get a small fort, take out Tokugawa Jiaqing’s money, and then continue to apply for the money.
Old bureaucrats, the shogunate really understood the virtues of Egawa Hideryu. Although Hadles' plan was good, it did not meet the financial requirements of the shogunate, which is now launching many projects all at once. There are more things to consider when working for the Tokugawa shogunate. You must not just look at the pros and cons.
Chuemon and Hisashi Nagai discussed the construction of Minato Town and opened up an open space on the inner side of the peninsula facing Edo Bay to facilitate the transportation of Edo troops and supplies to Futtsu.
Compared with the argument between Egawa Hideryu and Hadles, Chuemon stepped on the grave and made a decision immediately.
