Edo Traveler

After the "joke" defined by Shimadzu ended, Chuemon went home. Now I don't need to pick up Shi Wan to get off work, because Shi Wan is more than six years old, and it is time to read and write.

So the Tokugawa family arranged a famous teacher to teach Shiwan and learn culture. When you are older, you will learn the way of bowing horses. And that teacher is the Togawa Yasaki we mentioned earlier.

That is, during the Warring States Period, the descendants of Togawa Kui'an who sold the Yukita Hide family, from the name of the lords of more than 30,000 stone all the way to the one who was born with five hundred stone flags.

Togawa Anqing's calligraphy was taught by Jizheng of the Chiming Academy, who was also a master of the pen and ink family. To put it bluntly, this person was one of the eighty-eight courtiers of King An Zhengqin, and he was the three right soldiers at that time.

The historical Togawa Yasaki was also chosen by the Tokugawa family to teach the cultural knowledge of the Tokugawa family. Now Shi Wan's main task is to study. Because he is still young, he can't sit still. He studies for two or three hours a day, until he reaches it.

Hey, the Tokugawa family is definitely more concerned about their children's education than Chuemon. As the prince of the shogunate, Tokugawa Jiading also hopes that Shimaru will at least be a decent general in the future, not the one who stepped on the accelerator when the shogunate slipped into the abyss.

As soon as he reached the gate of the city, he saw Zhu Liu hurriedly walking into the city. As soon as he saw Chuemon, Sukeroku pulled Chuemon to speak with a somewhat awkward expression.

Everyone was down, and Sukeliu was still rushing to the city, not for anything else, but because Yokohama passed two big news to Edo. The telegram receiving office immediately sent it to the hands of the foreign government and Suke Liu, who either gave it to Yasaka Wakisaka, or directly presented it to the general.

The news from foreign countries cannot be said to be big, but not too small.

The first, for the shogunate, may be a good thing. The violent national uprising of the Indian anti-British people was brutally suppressed by the British colonists. The Indian people have also experienced the taste of a combination of internal and external forces to strangle the progressive forces of Ge Ming, and the entire uprising has come to an end.

Enomoto Takeyo and Hijikata Toshizo, who led the troops to fight in India, were led by Alcock and cooperated with Viscount Canning to encircle Zhangxi Castle. It was the town where Queen Zhangxi was stationed. Because the British arrogantly confiscated the territory of Queen Zhangxi's adopted son, and taking advantage of the anti-British enthusiasm that broke out among the people of India, Queen Zhangxi called on the old department to enter Zhangxi City.

It is said that the twenty-three-year-old queen always charged forward in battle, riding a snow-white horse and wielding a sword. His heroic appearance was remembered by the British and Indian armies.

After the British army invaded Zhangxi City, she carried her adopted son and led the rebel army to break through the siege to Gwalior. She herself did escape, but Zhangxi City, one of the anti-British centers, also fell into the hands of the British.

So far, most of the main anti-British forces in North India and Central India have been levelled, and the remnants of the rebel army are mainly reunited in a few places such as Gwalior. Viscount Canning, who mobilized tens of thousands of troops, launched a general attack on Gwalior.

Queen Zhangxi was finally defeated and defeated by the British army. Although her loyal guards escorted her to escape the battlefield, she died of excessive blood loss.

The great uprisings in various parts of India have been basically wiped out!

What is still fighting now is nothing more than a part of the remnant guerrilla forces and a small number of uprising servants. The uprising had in fact failed and no longer had the power to shake the British colonial government in India.

Therefore, the training team sent by the shogunate to India will not suffer any major casualties, and can be slowly withdrawn to Japan in batches. It is still unknown how many people will eventually return to Japan. But if it ends one day earlier, one day fewer people will die.

The British aristocratic officers, masters, do not regard the lives of soldiers as human lives, and often drive the soldiers to attack in every battle. During the Crimean War, even an entire brigade of cavalry was ordered to charge the Russian artillery positions, and then suffered a disastrous defeat of the entire army.

According to the description of Jiang Chuan Yingmin who returned to China, those British soldiers may be better. The servant army and mercenary army like the training team, the British master only regards them as his own entry level, and uses the blood of these soldiers to win merits for himself and dye his top.

Another thing, for the shogunate, is not good news at all. Under the threat of force from foreign powers and diplomatic blackmail, the "Tianjin Treaty" was signed.

The Qing state not only signed treaties with Britain and France, but also with Russia and the United States. Anyway, what is the content that humiliates the country, I won't go into details.

It can only be said that the military operation of the British and French coalition forces has achieved initial results. Presumably these powers should be very happy at this time. Perhaps he is preparing to continue to throw down Qing Guo's body, biting in big mouths, and taking more benefits.

Think about the old imperialist powers such as Britain and France, the strength is really strong. On the one hand, the United Kingdom is doing all it can to suppress the anti-British uprising in India.

Such a large-scale remote projection of military power, Britain's national strength is so strong, it is not at all qualified for the small Tokugawa shogunate to challenge.

It is said that just pacifying the uprising in India would cost as much as 40 to 50 million pounds. It is almost the same as the total fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty next door, and it is many times more than Japan.

In addition to marveling at the rapid progress of the British and French coalition forces, UU reading www. uukanshu.com can be regarded as a helper who has dealt with foreigners a lot, and is worried that the British and French allied forces will withdraw and turn to Japan.

After all, it is said in later generations that Britain was the biggest shitposter on earth in the entire 19th century. Almost all the countries and regions that existed in later generations had the British intervened or had wars.

To expect him to be content with the benefits he has won in the Qing Kingdom and to stop just like that would be a fool's dream. The British can't let their Royal Navy and Army go idle.

Whether it is the navy or the army, they have to become the cannonballs that the British capitalists project to all corners of the world, to obtain cheap raw materials and a broad market for Britain.

When the British and French troops were resting in Yokohama before, they smashed the shogunate's iron fist. Now that Bao Buqi's war in the Qing Kingdom is over, he can come to pinch the soft persimmon of the shogunate again.

So help Liu rushed to the city, preparing to send the news to the afternoon tea party in front of the imperial court. It's just that he came a step late, and the afternoon tea party was over. The seniors also went home on duty, and Shimadzu ran away on horseback by definition.

Such a big event, we can't just stop and talk about it tomorrow, we can only report it to the Tokugawa family first.
