What is written in the letter?

Of course, it was Prince Albert and Queen Victoria who ordered Alcock to send more than 5,000 troops from the Shogunate to follow the British troops to march in an armed parade, forcing the Qing court to further open the country.

And the letter also said that the battleship that the British Empire gave to the Tokugawa family should be accompanied by it. After all, the "Kasuga Maru" is really a large steam warship that does not lag behind the times, and it can be incorporated into it. The battle line of the Royal Navy.

The shogunate should be relieved from the big earthquake and tsunami. Now he is not required to dispatch all of them, as long as half of them are dispatched. It's not that Taiying doesn't give money, low-interest loans or something, it's a big drop.

But, but, but...

The mission team is already on board, and they have all left the port!

Fortunately, Alcock had experienced many battles and also performed his duties in the colonies with Britain, and he passed out without a direct stroke. But what about this matter now? No solution.

According to the letter, Earl Elgin has led 10,000 British troops from London and will arrive in Hong Kong in three or four months. At the same time, about 5,000 French troops have already followed, and the war is on the verge of breaking out, and Japan hastened to cooperate. When the British army arrived in Shanghai, the shogunate squadron was in position.

In place? It's a fart! The shogunate’s missionary team totaled 14,000. Three thousand have already boarded the Indian ship. There are 11,000 people left. Among them, four to five thousand are artillery from the coastal forts. There are six thousand people left, at least one thousand. People have to be sent to Huatai Island. There are still 5,000 people. The shogunate can't get them out of the way. Will they send you at least 5,000 people to Shanghai?

Why don't you say that the whole tune is gone?

As for immediately letting the cruise ship stop and put people down, it is absolutely impossible. Alcock knew exactly what the 1.5 million yuan promised to the shogunate was. If this money cannot be recovered from the British and Indian governments, he will have to sink Edo Bay tonight.

As long as he orders the stop of the ship, a large group of foreign banks and bank managers who have just seen each other with smiles will definitely eat him alive.

Unknowingly, there was already a cold sweat behind him. Alcock could only say sorry to the managers, and then let the people going to India continue to set off. He didn't leave for the time being, and rushed to Edo. The shogunate is now recruiting six thousand new troops. If these six thousand people can catch up and go to Shanghai in two or three thousand, at least they can stop Erjin's mouth.

Obviously he should have been sitting on Kasuga Maru, and Alcock, who was following Yingmin Jiang to India, suddenly appeared in front of him, still in a violent look, and Chuemon almost thought that the ship had sunk.

Then Alcock's words made Tademon know clear, it was originally about whether the shogunate still had enough power to send troops to the country. Does the shogunate have any extra energy? You can see it for yourself. I can still make a big change and give you thousands of experienced training teams?

What do you think?

When Alcock came to borrow troops before, Chungemon was still a little bit in his heart, thinking that it would be unavoidable to be taken by the British to the Qing country. It's okay now, Tadaoemon is full of reasons, and he can completely reject Alcock.

"How is the recruitment of recruits?" Alcock is really anxious, can he not be anxious, the queen and the prince jointly wrote a letter.

"Because the requirements are quite high, so far, there are no more than two thousand people." Chuemon was relaxed and answered truthfully.

This time the British demand is more than 1.5 meters, if you are shorter, it will not look like you. In addition, the shogunate did not have large-scale publicity, but the villages near Edo notified that there were so many idle farmers in Kanto. What if all of them were notified, and one hundred and two hundred thousand people came in at once?

"Isn't it three months for all recruitment in place? Plus six months of training..." When it was over, Alcock's eyelids began to tremble again.

"It just happens that this batch of training is complete, and we can replace the soldiers who have been sent to India." Chungemon continued lightly.

"How can I explain to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Forcing the shogunate to force no results, Alcock wailed in his heart, how could India use soldiers, and the Qing country would also use soldiers, bringing the British empire was really a day without stopping.

"Or in this way, the British Empire can immediately lend a low-interest loan of three million pounds to the shogunate, and the shogunate will recruit another 5,000 soldiers!" Alcock knew that forcing was useless, and the temptation was more practical.

"Your Excellency should know that our country is weak and the place is less than one twentieth of India. It is already the limit to raise 20,000 troops. How can it be possible to recruit more soldiers?" Chungemon did not enter Alcock. The set is.

Not to mention that the money was borrowed, not given in vain. It would be difficult for the shogunate to pass the matter of raising another 5,000 people. The British are willing to raise these soldiers during the war, what should they do when the battle is over?

The shogunate will definitely not be able to support it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will it be dissolved? When they disbanded, they had no means of making a living in the countryside. Besides, being a soldier, eating fragrant and spicy food every day, and paying monthly, many people's hearts become impetuous, and they are no longer willing to farm with their hands and feet.

In the end, it may even push these people into the respectful faction, causing them to have a downturn in their minds. It should be noted that even a large country like the United States has set up a Veterans Affairs Department to deal with veterans. These veterans who have mastered various combat skills and have been on the battlefield are not good, that is, the biggest unstable element in society.

"Five million, five million loan!"

"It's not the problem of loans. It's that our country is weak and the people are too weak to support so many troops." Tadaemon spread his hands and said to Alcock.

"Oh..." Alcock was somewhat lost. When he was deceiving the two sides, he should actually consider that things might change.

But what I didn't expect was that the change came so fast, and it couldn't be changed at all. And neither side of the soldier can offend, what should he do?

"From my personal point of view, India is obviously more important to the United Kingdom. It is not wrong for your Minister to take care of India first. Perhaps you can ask India to send a letter of assistance dated two months ago?" See Al Tadaoemon simply gave him an idea for Cork's appearance.

It doesn’t seem to be too difficult for the official document to change the date or something. As long as the British and Indian governments are willing to share in the deployment of troops from the shogunate in advance, Alcock's actions are beyond criticism.

India is now the most shining jewel on the crown of the British Empire, which cannot be compared anywhere.
