Edo Traveler

With all the demands of the British, Chuemon hurried back to Edo. As a result, the Chuemon hadn't played yet, Tokugawa Iamatsu rarely summoned all the old middlemen to discuss the matters that the French special envoy Grotto conveyed through Mrs. Atsuhime yesterday.

　　 The French and the British wear a pair of pants, but they also have greater ambitions!

　　 The so-called imperialism is naturally tacit about expansion. There is competition in normal times, and it does not hinder temporary cooperation. A few decades ago, France and Britain mobilized millions of people to fight against each other. Now they can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to fight the Russians together. Obviously, when it comes to expanding interests in Japan, they are also in the same group.

　　According to the idea conveyed by Madame Atsuhime, the French not only hoped that Osaka would open a port, but also hoped that the Shogunate would follow the example of Yokohama and set aside a residential area near Osaka to be managed by the French. It is about the same size as the Yokohama Residential Area, five square miles is not big, they French are almost dead friendly.

France is not occupying the residence area for nothing. Ge Luo promised Madam Atsuhime that he would directly invest in the construction of an artillery factory and a shipyard with six berths for the shogunate in Osaka. He would also be responsible for early operations and assist in the establishment of a technical school. Help the shogunate train skilled workers.

　　 If nothing happens in history, the Osaka Artillery Factory will develop into the strongest, largest, and most technologically advanced military enterprise in Asia before World War II. At its peak, there were almost 100,000 people working in this factory, and it could maintain the number of about 60,000 people, providing a huge number of artillery for the Japanese army in the future.

　　 In addition to obtaining a residence area near Osaka, the French are willing to invest in the construction of the Kyushu Route, from Kagoshima to Nagasaki as one wing, and then from Nagasaki to the opposite side of Shimonoseki. It can imitate the Jiangbin Railway model, which is also half of the Japanese side. But half of Japan can only be shared by the foreign domains that the railway passes through. After all, it was built in the foreign domain.

　　 After the completion of the main railway line in Kyushu, the French are still willing to continue to lay the Sanyo main railway line from Shimonoseki to Osaka, and finally make the Japanese main railway line fly all the way from Kagoshima to Edo.

　　 By the way, the French are still eyeing the coal mines mined by the Saga Domain in the sea off Nagasaki. As a high-quality coal that is not inferior to Welsh white coal, this coal mine is particularly important when there is a general lack of high-quality fuel coal along the coast of East Asia.

　　 It's only a pity that Mrs. Atsushi returned to him on the spot. For no other reason, the thing belonged to Saga Clan. Unless the shogunate transfers the Saga domain, or confiscates this territory directly, the shogunate is not qualified to intervene.

Mrs. Atsuhime will never let the shogunate open a head to confiscate important minerals of the local princes. After all, the Saga’s is only a coal mine. There are two big gold mines in her hometown, Satsuma, and that stuff produces dozens of them a year. A thousand taels of gold is like picking up money for nothing. If the shogunate starts, make sure to hit the Satsuma gold mine.

　　 If you have the ability, you can talk to Saga.

　　 The Americans, Russians, Dutch, representatives of the German Customs Union, as well as the trade representatives of Denmark and Sweden, who have heard of the founding of Japan, have arrived in succession. The meeting basically became a whole group. Their goals are exactly the same in terms of forcing Japan to continue to establish a country and expand foreign trade.

　　 So what should I do!

"Tadaemon, how did the British say to you?" Although Tokugawa Iamatsu can't talk about Mingjun, he knows one thing very well. If this continues to open up the door, he will have to lose power and insult the country in the future. Name.

　　 When his father Tokugawa Ikei was here, the shogunate was forced to sign a founding treaty with the United States and Britain, and then the great powers came in, and Yokohama had become a foreign country. Now Britain, France and other countries have asked to open Osaka again, not to mention losing power and insulting the country. Even if Osaka is so close to Kyoto, the attitude of Emperor Xiao Ming in Kyoto will be a headache for the shogunate. Valley

　　 The country was founded in Yokohama, hundreds of miles away from Emperor Xiao Ming, he still looks so dying, thinking that since Emperor Jinmu, the kingdom of God for more than two thousand years has been defiled by foreigners. Now if a port near Osaka opens, he will be furious and ask why the shogunate hasn't ridiculed the barbarians.

　　 The situation in Kyoto, which was so easy to calm down, will surely be ups and downs again. The ambitions of the Gongqing and Ronin who temporarily lurked will jump out again and make waves because of the banner of filial piety.

　　 "What the British asked for is much the same as a legal person." Tademon said that the Elgin Lion opened his mouth and asked for a lot.

　　 "They Yang Yi, the wolf is ambition, look forward to Shu!" Jing Yi Naobi's complexion was very bad.

　　 Everyone now believes that Alcock, Erkin and others are in the same group. Blinded the eyes of everyone in Muko with 1.5 million, and then transferred the most elite veterans of the three thousand training teams to India. At present, the shogunate has only 5,000 foot soldiers worthy of a battle, and the garrison and military police brought by the British and French forces to Yokohama are fully 10,000.

　　 The shogunate is completely at a disadvantage!

　　 They are investing again, UU reading www.uukanshu. com is a construction aid, and even forgives debts, but the central idea is not shaken at all. It is to open the door of Japan in an all-round way and accelerate the economic aggression against Japan. If one day can make Japan a colony, that would be great.

　　 "How can the princes teach me?" The Tokugawa family decided to turn their minds slowly. It is always good to listen to the opinions of the ministers first.

　　 "..." There is no way around for a while.

　　Tadaemon was a little lost for a while, originally thinking of slowly becoming a British comprador step by step, this traitor must have a good price before selling it slowly. You can't just provide one-stop service, sell one clean from start to finish.

　　 How can the shogunate continue like that? Our idea back then was to sell it bit by bit, and then let Daiying support the shogunate. As long as the shogunate could still **** blood from the shogunate, and the shogunate was useful in containing the development of the Russian Far East, then Daiying would identify with the shogunate. Not only can the shogunate live a few more years, but Japan can also gain a certain degree of development.

　　 When we kick our legs, the shogunate’s life and death will not be our responsibility. What do you like?

　　 But now the British are ready to do it in one step, scrabbling rabbits, and they are about to break open the gates of the Qing country, and the gates of Japan are only half open, all for me to get involved in the tide of world capitalism. The power of the imperialist powers to compete for profitable colonies like Japan is really underestimated by Chuemon.

　　 "Tadaemon, you said that there are tens of thousands of British people to help, but it's true?" Naobi Ii's hand was squeezed and loosened, loosened and squeezed, obviously the struggle in his heart was very fierce.
