Edo Traveler

Vol 10 Chapter 58: Soldiers' thinking has changed

The adults in Edo were naturally shocked by the statements made by Hidetoshi Egawa and the military report of Suisan Tufang. They were deeply impressed by the great changes in the current situation and felt quite at a loss for what to do.

   Even Tademon Tademon faced this situation, and there was no quick and effective solution. After all, the killing efficiency of weapons these years will only get higher and higher. Not to mention that the shogunate has such doubts. When the Civil War begins, the leaders and commanders of the North and South will change the age of consciousness.

what to do?

   You ask me, who shall I ask?

   Looking at the soldiers carrying a lot of trophies, and of course there are ashes from the fellow villagers, leaving Edo and returning to their hometown on holiday, Chuemon was rather sighed.

  The soldiers who died in action, the British gave 120 pounds of pension. To put it bluntly, it was money for their lives, which was forced by Alcock. After all, India is now thirsty for soldiers, so pensions have risen sharply. The shogunate also gave another hundred taels of gold, which was calculated to be 220 taels of gold. This price was pretty good.

  The lowest-ranking imperial family, known as the "Thirty One Servant", has an annual salary of three or two, and one person supports him. Two hundred and twenty-two equals his total income from service to death. That is to say, this time Alcock is eager to do meritorious service and needs to continue to coax the new army from the training team to go to India desperately, otherwise there are really not so many.

   But this time, it was really heavy casualties. Although returning home from a big victory, it also hurt the morale of the army a bit.

   Several soldiers from the field, one of them carrying the ashes of a fellow villager, returned to their hometown. Not only did they hand over all the pensions issued by the shogunate to the families of the fallen soldiers, they also distributed many of their trophies in India to the families of their comrades-in-arms.

   Needless to say, the three big irons in life, they have carried guns together. When I was young, I also studied in a school, so I can be regarded as a classmate together. These three account for two, no matter how good the relationship is, it should be.

   The family members were naturally crying and robbing the ground, and they were heartbroken when they suddenly received the news of their son's death. Although the soldiers are the second and third in the family and cannot inherit the family business, the family will not be extinct. But after all, my father had raised his mother for more than ten years.

   Even if you give it two hundred and twenty taels, it would be half crying.

   Eight people went out from the village, but only four came back, that is the status quo.

"Although the chief of the shogunate is good to me, the shogunate has become a puppet of Yingmi ghosts and animals. In order to ask for foreign money, they sold me to foreigners. They regarded me as a dolphin. Drive, a good life, just like this for nothing."

   Late at night, in a small rural rice warehouse, four soldiers from the mission team were on vacation at home, facing a small oil lamp, drinking sullen wine.

   saw more and more cruel wars, and their mentality was also greatly affected. Although there is a possibility of death in battle as a soldier, but in the past, one tenth of the dead was in the battle. In India, when three thousand people were on the battlefield, they could die four to five hundred casually.

   There is no cure for a painful illness. The medical officer in the army can only saw the thigh, but if the injury is slightly serious, the army doctor will say that the arm and leg cannot be saved. Then there was a grim hacksaw sound from the tent, accompanied by terrifying screams.

   So all kinds of things, it almost breaks the mind. Fortunately, the team has been replaced quickly, and they have not kept their troops on the front line of India.

   "The British are not of my own kind, so they naturally regard me as nothing. Only Xiao can win, but will you care for your life?" A soldier drank a full glass of wine, angrily.

   "So and so, in the long run, I will be betrayed by the shogunate and become a dead soul in a foreign land." Gu

   "Hou Akashi and Kiyoshi Edogawa have been waiting for me. It would be okay if I only worked for them. I am not willing to work for the British!"

   Several soldiers echoed each other, venting their dissatisfaction. All of them were born in the Miao word for wearing swordsmanship, and they were considered intellectuals after having studied in the school for three to five years. After seeing wars in foreign countries, this vision has also widened a bit.

   "After all, the shogunate was intimidated by foreigners!" One person smashed the glass on the floor heavily.

   "It's still the shogunate's weakness, and it's not enough to resist the disaster of foreign barbarian." The other person obviously thinks so too.

   "I'm in Tianzhu, listening to foreigners..." The three people on the left and right gathered around.

  Of course they knew that Britain is a constitutional monarchy, and they had heard of such things in Edo, but at first they didn't care about it. They only thought that it was something foreign and had nothing to do with them.

   Later, the princes publicized a constitutional monarchy and demanded the establishment of a large council of princes. From now on, everything in the world will be implemented by the princes' council. Of course, the general is still the general, and he is still the king of Japan. Everyone can be regarded as assisting the general to rule Japan.

   But when they went to India, they also learned that the so-called parliament is not just the noble parliament of the princes, but also the common people's house of commons or common people's house.

   And it is the House of Commons that actually plays a role. It is the urban bourgeoisie that represents the vast majority of the British population. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com squires, little nobles, emerging wealthy classes engaged in industry and commerce.

   Isn’t that the four people in front of you?

   They are all children of rich peasants in the countryside. Their family not only engages in agriculture, but also engages in nutritious sericulture, and at the same time engages in rural trade and loan sharking. It is the spokespersons of the entire country’s rural areas. They are the people who know the vast rural areas of Japan best.

   A constitutional monarchy should be established, but it should not only be a meeting of princes. It should be an imitation of the United Kingdom and the upper house and lower house should work together. Let them, a group of people with ideals, goals, and combat capabilities, participate in the shogunate’s government affairs and actually dominate the shogunate’s operations.

  Only people like them who really understand the military can forcefully promote the military modernization reform of the shogunate. When the shogunate's military strength is strengthened, it will be able to impede and humiliate the vassals outside and unite the princes inside.

   Fighting against Yingmi’s ghosts and beasts and dying, it’s much better than being a mercenary for foreigners and dying in a foreign country without a name!

   "Yes! Reasonable!" The other three agreed.

   It’s really good. I wait for the sons of wealthy farmers and tycoons, and I worry about my family and the world. It's not enough to just serve as a soldier in the training team. In the end, it was sold out and became cannon fodder for foreigners. It is better to participate in the revitalization of the shogunate, gain the power to control the country, and implement comprehensive reforms.

   As long as we come to power, we will surely be able to sweep away the accumulated abuses of the shogunate over the years and eradicate all the old and corrupt things. When the time comes, no matter what foreign barbs come to Japan, don't even think about riding on the head of the shogunate to show off their might.
