After Chungemon presided over a national conference (meeting) of the lords (tables) across the country, he continued to arrange tasks such as the promotion of the sericulture industry this year. I hope you will plant trees seriously. Contribute to the modern development of the shogunate, and set new heights.

　　 After the successful, victorious, and united convention was over, the princes and daimyos who were supposed to leave the field freely were summoned to the city to visit the New Year's military exercises of the Shogunate’s new military training team.

　　 Everyone knows that the Tokugawa family is weak and cannot hold a large-scale falconry hunting. During the period of the former General Tokugawa Ikei, the Eagle Hunting was held almost every year. The Tokugawa Ie was only held once when he received the letter of credence from a foreign envoy.

　　Eagle Hunting is something that everyone knows, not for shooting a few wild geese, or shooting a few wild boars or deer. It was to ensure that the Qiben Shimaoki of the shogunate could barely maintain the appearance of an army, and at the same time to declare to the princes of the world that the shogunate's force was still maintained, don't be rebellious.

　　 But now the Tokugawa family can't hold hawks, so in order to continue to show the military power of the shogunate, it was originally a small-scale New Year's military exercise ceremony, which was directly changed to a parade of the training team.

　　 All you need to do is ride on a horse and beckon to the soldiers of the mission team. Tokugawa Kasada can still do this. Besides, it doesn't take much time to ride. The team is just so small, and it takes less than an hour to pull up all the way up.

　　 Queue formations are all teams that have performed well before and all adopt European-style aerobics. If even the team can't stand well, it's purely a joke.

　　 The focus of this imperial military exercise is not on this. The main event will begin when the troops are lined up and the subsequent live-fire drills are carried out.

　　 The remodeled Sharps rifle used a copper shell bullet that was temporarily semi-manually and semi-mechanically rolled to carry out a live ammunition shooting that was absolutely impressive.

　　 carefully selected shooters, and intensive training in the last month. The soldiers who played in these roles fired five bullets continuously in one minute, and the target was set 700 meters away, and the target rate was still quite high.

　　 surprised!

　　Foreign guns or something, everyone here has already seen a lot. Including the advanced reloading of guns from foreign countries that flowed into Japan from Yokohama or Nagasaki after the founding of the country.

　　 But in their impression, a rifle that can be shot so fast can never be shot that far. The rifle shot so far is front-loaded and can't shoot so many shots in one minute. Even if you close your eyes and don't care what you hit, it's not so fast.

　　 The shogunate has a new weapon!

　　 At the front row, the lord of the Hagi domain Keimi Mori, the lord of Hiroshima, Keichi Asano, and the lord of the Fukui domain, Matsuhira Keunaga, were all surprised. They are all people who have been in the collar, who have touched their guns. They have asked themselves very clearly what the guns are like this year. Why did this kind of "magic gun" that the Shogunate used now suddenly appeared?

　　 Seeing the different expressions of the feudal lords, Tadaoemon smiled slightly at Chisun Matsudaira and Naobi Ii, and the two of them nodded as well. The effect was definitely achieved.

　　 We are not afraid of you buying foreign guns, nor are you afraid of using metal bullets, just because you don’t know that the shogunate is one step faster than you, a little better than you.

　　 The feudal clan who just bought a foreign Migne rifle, will I change into a Sharps rifle immediately if I have the money? It's not just one or two, but thousands or tens of thousands. Counting the spare guns and bullets, there is no one million that can't be dropped. Unless you have the ability to make your own guns.

　　 There are only Saga and the Shogunate who have this self-control ability. In other places, such as Shimadzu, the technology of the Miner rifle has not yet been fully understood. In Hagihan's Maori family, the internal fighting has not yet ended, let alone technological innovation. At the moment, the self-production of Liangobass firecrackers will begin to scale.

　　 Besides, with a single domain, how can it compare with the financial situation of the shogunate? If the shogunate has insufficient money, it can borrow heavily from foreign countries. How can other vassal states borrow? You just want to borrow, but other foreign banks don't dare to borrow for the time being.

　　 There is not even a guaranteed industry. Foreign banks and capitalists will never lend you money unless they are fools or have other purposes.

　　 said a little deeper, the shogunate showed advanced weapons for the princes to see. The princes who were loyal to the shogunate were amazed at most. They were not ill-intentioned anyway. The shogunate was strong and the best, able to defend the country.

　　 Is there any antipathy?

　　 It's best if you and I are in an arms race. Now the speed of weapon replacement is almost one change in the blink of an eye. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the development of military science and technology really changed with each passing day. Even the great powers such as Britain, France and the United States still have a bit of difficulty in upgrading their weapons, let alone small countries.

　　 The shogunate can grit his teeth to keep up with the development of the times. How can I ask which vassal nation in Japan has the financial resources to keep up with the development of military technology? Obviously there is no, unless the sentence is still the same, he got foreign aid.

　　 As long as the shogunate is consumed like this, UU reading www.uukanshu.com may not even have to fight in the future, and consumption will consume the repulsive princes alive. Just like the original U.S.-Soviet struggle for hegemony, the disintegration of the Soviet Union must have a lame development direction and a pot of emphasizing military affairs and neglecting people's livelihood. The United States relies on its wealth and strength to fight with you, to see who can't hold it.

　　 "This time the imperial martial arts performance is really smooth." There is no one else around, and Qi Xuan Matsudaira doesn't have to pretend, and can laugh a lot.

　　 "Yes." Tadaemon previously suggested that the scale of the New Year's Goenwu ceremony should be expanded, but the Makukaku is still a little puzzled.

　　 Now that I see the appearance of a group of princes and daimyos, I feel that this martial arts show is really good. It not only deterred them, but also demonstrated the force of the shogunate. As for what they will do afterwards, whether they gritted their teeth to keep up, or just give up, it depends on how much they feel against the shogunate in their hearts.

　　 "The training team must gradually replace new guns." Naobi Ii has approved the proposal for a comprehensive replacement of the training team.

　　The eliminated rifles, if someone in the country is willing to take over, they will be digested directly in the country. Those that cannot be digested at home will be taken directly to Shanghai. There are two big buyers in Shanghai, both of whom are rich and powerful.

　　 Regardless of whether it is the Hunan Army or the Taiping Army, there is no bargaining for foreign guns. The price is ten times that of foreign guns, so they are still willing to eat them all. Although the pre-loaded guns eliminated by the shogunate may not be so good, it is a tattered one to stay in the country. If you send it to Shanghai, you can always get back the cost.

　　 Take the money and go to Europe and America to buy new-style rifles, and to imitate them, so that the equipment of the shogunate can be updated with each passing day, and will not be left behind by the trend of the times.
