Vol 9 Chapter 73: The British envoy returned to China to transfer soldiers
Chungemon did not have the ability to manage the affairs of the Qing court, but Chungemon could manage the affairs of the shogunate. The first is that the "Paris Peace Treaty" requires Tokugawa Iamatsu's approval, which is a procedure of international diplomacy.
In the past, the Shogunate would never let the generals come to sign, at most let Lao Zhong come to sign, if something really happened, Lao Zhong would be regarded as a dead ghost and kicked out to die. But later, the British and Americans were brought to play for fear. Any treaty signed by the **** imperial minister would be used as a wipe, and they would not be recognized at all.
Therefore, when signing the treaty with the Shogunate, it was stated that it must be signed by the Minister of Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary or the Prime Minister, and the King of Japan should use the seal, otherwise it will not be done.
is a head for the shogunate. As long as there is this head, Tokugawa Isaiah swipes a big pen, and Long Feifengwu signs a word, even if he approves the contract.
The next step is to call back all the Russian prisoners who had been thrown into the mine to work. Let them wash them. They are not going to pan, but they are going to be released. Lest the Russian envoys come to spray the shogunate and talk about abuse of prisoners.
This group of people was also a factor of instability.
All the people gathered in Yokohama, counted and sorted out, more than 20 died, all of them died of illness and exhaustion in the mine, and their fate was not enough to blame others. Chungemon asked Erkin whether the British came forward to return it, or the Shogunate came forward to return it.
As a result, Erkin hadn't thought about it yet, and the news of Tsarist Russia passed. Captured by the coalition forces, Major General Zavojko, who had spent more than two years in Japan, was appointed Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, presided over negotiations with the Shogunate, and established an embassy in Yokohama.
The news was sent from Nikolaevsk. It not only brought the appointment, but also sent Zavojko a start-up fund. In order to develop trade with Japan, the Russian merchant ships that sent the letter also brought fur, tobacco, guns and other goods, which are pretty good in Japan, enough for Zavojko to start work.
With a blink of an eye, this old hen has become a duck!
Although Zavojko has suffered a lot, although he has almost no good feelings for the shogunate, he is indeed well-informed in Japan. He has seen the new army compiled by the shogunate, and has seen all kinds of completely plagiarized and copied from the United Kingdom. Industrial and mining enterprises. I have seen that Yokohama has grown from a small fishing port to a large city with a population of tens of thousands in a few years, just like a European town.
Shogunate is another obstacle to the expansion of Tsarist Russia in the Far East!
With complex emotions in his heart, Zavojko handed over his credentials to Tokugawa Iasa. Then he arranged for the prisoners to be sent back to Nikolaevsk by himself, and then established an embassy in Yokohama.
But Russia has not been able to harden up this time. He has not taken advantage of all the privileges of the British and American countries, so he has got a free trade promise.
And on the part of Tsarist Russia, they established diplomacy on an equal footing with the Shogunate. But on the side of the shogunate, with the proof of the "Paris Peace Treaty", this is a begging for peace before the defeat.
The whales leaped thousands of miles away and came to seek peace with the shogunate. The Tokugawa family must have the virtue of tolerance and gave peace to the country of Lucia and returned the captives of the country of Lucia.
won, all won!
Seeing the Tsarist Russia, there was nothing to deal with, so Erkin rushed to Edo to leave with Tokugawa Casa and Chuemon. For no other reason, he had to go back with Lord Palmerston, the current prime minister of Britain, to discuss how to expand the economic aggression against the Qing.
Before the European countries fought fiercely in the Crimea Peninsula, the countries invested almost two million troops. Britain did not have enough strength to carry out military threats or military aggression against Qing alone.
So at that time, Erjin saw the new army training team prepared by the shogunate using Western-style exercise codes. He hoped to borrow thousands of people and take them to the Qing country for an armed parade, forcing the Qing court to open its doors more comprehensively.
As a result, the matter was not settled yet. Japan was hit by a major earthquake, and the entire Edo area was destroyed. In the following two months, there were many aftershocks. The whole of Japan was severely damaged. The ruins of Edo alone were cleaned up for more than two months. Tens of thousands of people died. Even the officer coaches in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands have died.
After such a disaster, it is unrealistic to expect the shogunate to send troops. The shogunate had to keep the army in the country to prevent possible civil upheavals at any time. Needless to say, Erjin understood this truth.
But expanding the economic aggression against the Qing can not be delayed!
Just as the Crimean War came to an end, the British Empire was finally able to vacate its hands and take care of things in the Far East. Aiming to lead the British Empire to the throne of the Prime Minister, Erkin was unwilling to wait any longer, so he was ready to return to his country.
The UK is very anxious to expand exports to the Qing. Erkin is confident that he can persuade the British Parliament to quickly deploy troops into Hong Kong and be prepared to threaten the Qing government by force.
People can now use Britain’s own soldiers, so naturally they have no scruples.
He said that he was leaving. The current British Minister in the Qing, the Governor of Hong Kong, and Lieutenant Admiral Bowring (also as an order) ordered MacDonald to temporarily serve as a consul in the shogunate ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Negotiations by the shogunate. He didn't want to stay at all, and got on the British ship that was coming to pull the silk, so he rushed to Hong Kong, and then changed ships to return to China.
"This ambassador will be familiar with him, how did he transfer back to the country?" Sheng Haizhou sent to Erjin, and returned with the Tokugawa family and the veterans.
The Tokugawa family also gave some messy gifts to Queen Victoria and Napoleon III. Isn't it because someone took out a three million loan to the Shogunate for disaster relief. This is regarded as a kindness in any way, and the Tokugawa family is not the one who doesn't know what is good or bad, so he exchanges courtesy and gives some souvenirs.
Taiying is the queen, then give something like tortoiseshell hairpins, jewelry storage boxes, a full set of Wajima lacquer and Chunkyi lacquerware. Napoleon III was a man, so he gave a gold lacquer screen, a pair of swords, and a saddle. It is said that this was taken care of by Mrs. Atsuhime, and Tokugawa Isaiah was just a mouthful.
"The United Kingdom is going to use troops against the Qing country." Chuemon did not raise his head. Tokugawa Kogyo Co., Ltd. was established. There were so many things that they couldn't handle it at all.
"Why are you going to use troops against the Qing country again!" Although Sheng Haizhou usually deals with foreigners in Yokohama, he has never understood these things.
"Always expand trade with the Qing Dynasty." Chuemon sighed.
"We have only defeated Lucia, and we are going to attack the Qing Dynasty. The British are really warlike." Sheng Haizhou actually respected the British navy, but he couldn't help but sigh.
"If it's just warlike, then that's fine."
