Vol 10 Chapter 21: Brainstorming for design
The bureaucrats deceive the top and conceal something. It stands to reason that Alcock should be able to do it handily. Alcock, who served as officials in various places in the colony, was used to knowing the joints, but he was confused when he cared, and he didn't think about it for a while.
Waiting for Chuemon to wake up with a word, it immediately became clear.
If India is thirsty for asking for soldiers, now the news must have been sent back to London. At that time, London will even mobilize people from Australia to rush to India to suppress the anti-British uprising of the Indian people. Under this premise, it is completely normal for the British and Indian governments and the envoys in Japan to use their subjective initiative to recruit Japanese mercenaries.
It only takes time to adjust the above slightly. After all, Alcock, who cheated on both ends, still has a big deal in his heart. The money of millions of dollars is not very correct.
To sum it up a bit, Alcock still has to hurry to India. First, I used the soldiers of the mission team to go to India to get the money from the British and Indian government, and then bet all the holes everywhere. By the way, let the British and Indian government issue an official document two months in advance.
One thing belongs to the same thing, the more chaotic the more impossible it will be. You still have to get things right before you can perfuse the questioning of London and Earl Elgin.
Alcock, who came in a hurry, ran back to Yokohama in such a hurry. Kasuga Maru had set off guarding the cruise ship carrying soldiers, and Alcock would definitely not be able to get on. But the British communications ship that came to send him the letter happened to be there. When the coal and water are ready, it will immediately set off for India.
Perhaps this is Mr. Alcock, the most brisk days in this life. In Yokohama, he changed the date of all the documents and other things that he negotiated with the shogunate, one by one, in a meticulous manner, and he did not leave it to others at all. It is both confidential and not at ease. When all these things are finished, the communication ship is also ready.
"I heard that the British envoy came again this morning? Didn't he go to Tianzhu?" Matsudaira Qixuan came over to look for Chuemon.
Isn’t it necessary to put on new uniforms for the soldiers? The khaki uniforms given by the British are good to wear during the war in India. But after showing it to Matsudaira Qixuan, he felt that it was not suitable for the actual situation of the shogunate.
The weather in Japan rarely has a day of over 40 degrees like India, and it is usually a little over 30 in summer. The shorts over there with half sleeves will not last a few days in Japan, and the khaki-colored ones are really unsightly. Still have to change, at least to make the soldiers feel decent.
So it was not only Matsudaira Massunobu who expressed the wrong, but Ii Naobi also said the same. Although military uniforms will cost a bit of money, the shogunate's shogunate has a small number of people and can support it. Don't be too stingy.
"The British just hired three thousand people to go to Tianzhu, and now they are talking about hiring five thousand people to the Qing Dynasty, but I said no." Chungemon replied bluntly. Alcock left in a perfunctory manner and waited for Elkin to come. , I will definitely come to the shogunate for inquiries.
He was the former minister in Japan, and he built Yokohama City on the side of the shogunate. Don't come to the shogunate to ask at that time, the shogunate will be caught off guard. Just say it now, so that others can know in advance and be psychologically prepared.
"How can the British be born so long and look to Shu, there are only a few people in the passer-by team, so he recruits them like this." Songping Qixuan frowned.
Before his death, Tokugawa Kayuki handed the Chuanxi team to his younger brother. What he told him was to protect the Tokugawa shogunate. The Chuanxi team was the heart of Matsudaira Qixuan. If it weren’t for the British to give money, it would be a happy one. , He would never talk to the British.
"That's what I said, so I won't allow him." Chuemon nodded.
"What are they going to do in the Qing country? Could it be that there has been another war between Britain and the Qing country?" Songping Qixuan continued to ask.
"It is possible that in the previous battle between the British and the Qing Dynasty, five mouthfuls were opened in Guangsha Funing. The British may not be satisfied yet, so they need to open a few more mouthfuls."
"They are foreigners, they are not greedy! But even we drove three, the Qing country is dozens of times more than me, five may indeed be too few." Songping Qixuan sat down and began to sigh.
Anyway, he has never been to the Qing country, so he understands the Qing country like that. He only knows that the Qing country is tens of thousands of miles away and it has a vast territory. Each foreigner speaks with interest. In order to communicate with the Qing country everywhere, it will certainly not stop the pace of war.
"In their affairs, our country is weak and the people are weak, so it's better not to blend in." Chungemon looked at Matsudaira Chisun.
"It's true, we only want the shogunate to be stable, and Tokugawa will rule the world peacefully." Matsudaira Qixuan agreed.
After all, it is a reactionary feudal government. Compared with the waves of thousands of miles and the concordance of the world, Songping Qixuan only hopes that the shogunate is safe and the Tokugawa family can be passed down from generation to generation.
There is a saying that the external aggressiveness of the Tokugawa Shogunate is very small, almost non-existent. The only Ryukyu is actually mainly to obtain a window for negotiations with the mainland~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If it is really an island coveting the open sea, Iemitsu Tokugawa will not directly shut down the country. Those who go to sea cannot return to Japan for whatever reason, and kill those who return.
Just look at this, the center of the shogunate's rule is mainly concentrated in the country, that is, within the scope of the Japanese archipelago. The veterans of Kamchatka and Huatai Island, which were recently assigned to the shogunate in name, basically don't pay much attention to them. Just as a small island in the north, there are no people anyway, let alone producing rice.
The shogunate system is still good, and Chungemon had to protect the shogunate well.
Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go back to the military uniform that Songping Qixuan said before. The resident training team in China still has to choose a good-looking uniform.
"Let's just collect styles from the world!" Chuemon thought he had no design talent, and he was not willing to think about it anymore, so everyone brainstormed.
"Scramble from the world?" Matsudaira Qixuan still felt that this was military affairs, and a few of them decided to get it. Unexpectedly, Chungemon was going to push it directly to the masses.
"Regardless of whether you are a Chinese or a foreigner, as long as you choose, you will immediately be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!" Chuemon felt that this was actually an opportunity.
is not only an opportunity to promote the positive image of the passing team, but at the same time it can further increase the acceptance of the passing team. After all, it is not easy for Chungemon to wash away the catching of young boys for two or three years.
Through such extensive, nationwide publicity, the distance between the training team and the people can be shortened, and it can also pave the way for the direct recruitment of people in the future. Why not?
