Edo Traveler

, The fastest update of the latest chapters of Edo Traveler!

The natural protection reform that has entered the deep water area has been surging thousands of miles in almost a day. On the surface, it has temporarily achieved some kind of glorious results.

No new taxes were imposed, nor did they exploit the peasants. They just moved a little bit from the samurai, and unexpectedly raised a huge sum of two hundred thousand taels of gold at once. With this amount of money, Mizuno is enough to build three Odaiba forts off Shinagawa, and can also be equipped with about twenty cannons.

The Tokugawa Samurai group, which was seriously reorganized, has really improved in a short period of time. Many lower-class samurai royal family who have never had the opportunity to serve as a public official, because of the selection order of Mizuno Tadakuni, actually someone was promoted to Tokugawa Iekiyo's surname for Shentong martial arts.

The Yu Xiao surname has a staff of sixty people, and sometimes they are super staffed, but this position is generally only qualified for a banner with more than 200 shi, or even more than 500 shi. Now a little Yu's family who has received an annual salary of seventy-five years has been selected as Yu Xiao's surname. I have to say that this is a kind of hope.

Especially for the lower class samurai with meager salary, even if Mizuno Tadakuni’s official appointment and selection reforms are just a thing, only three or five people a year can get out of the sea of ​​suffering from the lower class, that is also a great hope.

For the lower-class samurai who had been suppressed for two hundred years and had no way out of their lives, Mizuno Tadakuni was really their great savior in a sense!

Therefore, the evaluation of Mizuno Tadabang appeared to be extremely polarized. On the surface, everyone was calm and calm, and he did not comment on this matter. Just like Zhuroku, he didn't even dare to speak out in front of his two fathers, only to whisper and compare. But behind the scenes, the samurai whose salary was deducted was really anxious for Mizuno Tadakuni's quick death. The dozen or so lower-level samurai who were promoted naturally praised Mizuno Tadaho's merits, and they were almost called fathers.

"The construction of the fort in Shinagawa Odaiba must be presided over by the two." Chuemon thanked his guests behind closed doors today, and only invited a few close samurai over.

"That's true!"

Sitting in front of Chuemon Gate are naturally Sakuma Shoyama and Takashima Akho. Now the veteran of the shogunate in charge of coastal defense construction is Sanada Kotsuki, and Sanada Kotsuki is the prime minister. It is naturally impossible to go to the construction site to actually preside over the construction. The project was not dispatched to the operation of Sakuma Xiangshan who understands the fort and the Western military.

As for Akho Takashima, he originally came to cast cannons for the shogunate and exercise new guns. So he was directly appointed by Mizuno Tadakuni as the foundry party, and began preparations for the casting of Western-style cannons nearby and placed them on the Shinagawa Odaiba fort.

Things in the world are just such a coincidence. The two samurai who had the best relationship with Chuemon just happened to be assigned to do this. In other words, Japan is too small, so there are only a few talents, and only these few people have to do things over and over again.

"Although the fundraising strategy is somewhat... but the result is always good." Chuemon knew the importance of the Shinagawa Fort to Edo.

And because of the qualities of the two in front of him, they would definitely not do any tofu project. When the fort is built, if Perry drives a black boat in the future, many things will be able to change.

and many more! These two went to repair the fort, how did Perry get into Edo Bay?

There is something here!

Chungemon, who was in confusion again, really couldn't understand, the current situation and the history of the end of the shogunate in his own impression were almost completely unproven.

"The two hundred and fifty thousand taels of special funds, I am afraid that it will not be able to protect Edo comprehensively." Takashima Qiuho did not see the reverie that suddenly burst out of Tademon's heart, but just took the conversation.

"Yes, if the current Western artillery is to cover the Edo ocean, in my opinion, at least six cannons need to be built to support each other." Sakuma Xiangshan also shook his head, the three cannons have too much loopholes.

"Two gentlemen, can you tell me more about the Western artillery..." Torajiro Yoshida, who was originally just watching, stretched out his head embarrassedly and interrupted the conversation between several people. He was really curious about Western military technology and couldn't help it.

"Hagihou has been serving in the prefecture for more than a year, and he will return to China soon." Sakuma Xiangshan did not answer directly, but was rather regretful.

Like Chuemon, Sakuma Kojiyama and Takashima Akhoyama, after meeting Toujiro Yoshida, had a great affection for this young man who was active and eager to learn and possessed the qualities of admiring foreigners and foreigners. Basically, Torajiro will be present in the conversations of a few people now, and they will help them to advance and train more young people. They are also happy for them.

"Yes, it's scheduled to depart in May." Tonjiro was also a little pity.

If he is still in Edo, then he will have the opportunity to go directly to Shinagawa Odaiba, see the construction of the fort, and see the casting of the cannon. Many things have the opportunity to practice in person, instead of just listening to others.

"I'm back home this time, and I will see you next time it will be a year later." Sakuma Xiangshan liked Torajiro very much, and it was a generous gift. The students are leaving, and some feelings are normal.

"I hope that next year, I will still be a student." Torajiro nodded. Anyway, the ranks of Maori respecting relatives need a lot of people. Not surprisingly, Torajiro can still be selected.

"That said, after returning to Japan, Toujiro will take the Yuan service." Torajiro, who has been fourteen years old and inherited the Yoshida family, should soon appear in the famous historical name.

"Yes, after returning to the country, he will be in Yuanfu." Tonjiro's adoptive father passed away, but his father is still alive. Someone can help him preside over the Yuanfu ceremony.

"Then we will wait for you in Edo."

The few people said they were happy, and they continued to discuss the renovation project of the Edo Bay Fort. Tadaemon, who also turned his mind, began to ask in detail what type of cannon Takashima Akho was going to use~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The approximate caliber and range of it, can it be comparable to the cannons equipped by the Dutch now? .

It was Takashima Qiuho, who had followed the Dutch to learn the art of cannon casting, laughed and said that the cannons he forged would never lose to those equipped by Dutch merchant ships.

That said, how did Perry get in that ten years later?

"Are you here?" Chuemon was puzzled, and Sukeruku came uninvited.

"It's you, what's the big deal today, please come and share it with us." Sakuma Sakuma and Sukeruku are already familiar, and they can make jokes.

"It's not a big deal, it would be nice to invite a few to enjoy the cherry blossoms." Zhuliu smiled and nodded to everyone.

Spring is in Edo, and the annual cherry blossom viewing season is here again. Rather than sitting at home, it is indeed better to go out to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Shuroku's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. He had already taken up the position, and it was the invitation that came to him right now.

At the same time, another group of samurai is also on the way to enjoy the cherry blossoms...
