Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

One hundred and ninetieth chapters Meiji Restoration (11)

Tito Hirobumi opened the side door, and after being buried by a pile of blueprints, he and Xing Dianwei rode a pony to Kyoto.

Kyoto is in the northwest of Osaka. From the map, the business circles of the two cities can almost be connected together. Even in 1868, the workshops here developed.). Blacksmith shops for tools and armor, shops that produce and sell guns, and There are various business houses serving the imperial family and the shogunate, well-regulated and prosperous for a while.

The Kyoto Imperial Palace is now the Imperial Palace of Japan. From the Nara period to the Meiji Restoration, it was the residence of successive emperors.

From the perspective of Chinese people, this is a simple building complex, with a simple moat, a simple inner city wall, and a simple palace gate.

Huang Xuan walked half a circle around the outer city of the palace, and encountered a slightly difficult problem. Planting biological bombs in the outer city is not enough to guarantee the power, and the opening time of the palace gate has passed, so he can't sneak into the city with a camouflage cover, and he can't find a hotel in the city either--there must be a guarantor and a guarantor. Household registration.

After sleeping in the grove outside the city for the night, Huang Xuan asked Lorraine to help him, and took advantage of the food delivery vehicle to turn into Miyagi.

However, the simplicity of the Kyoto Imperial Palace made him extremely disappointed. In his opinion, this is simply a dilapidated small villa area. After the abuse by the shoguns of the past generations, the emperor's resentment has probably been very deep, and the imperial city is all gray.

Yesterday evening, when Huang Xuan walked around the imperial city for a week, he felt that it was very fast, but he didn't think about it that much at the time. Now it took a few minutes to walk to the other side, and he couldn't help asking: "Lorraine, how big is this place?"

"It is 700 meters wide from east to west and 1300 meters long from north to south. It covers an area of ​​110,000 square meters."

Huang Xuan almost fell to the ground, and said, "The feelings are as big as the Huang family's old house?"

"It may still be bigger. There are 9 famous gates, 10 halls, and 19 halls here."

"It's just a medium-sized pedestrian street. A shopping plaza with more than four floors can't be compared." Huang Xuan shook his head, threw a 50g biological bomb on the ground, rubbed it with his feet, and said, "This is the main hall?"

He refers to wooden buildings with long eaves that do not exceed 300 meters in area.

"That's right."

Huang Xuan could only shake his head again. I feel that using 50g bombs is a bit wasteful.

In order to ensure that the explosion would cover the entire Imperial Palace, even Huang Xuan in the garden did not let it go. Although according to his idea, the bomb should be detonated at midnight, but who knows if Mr. Meiji was in the solitary shadow slanting bushes with the little girl at that time? Court ladies tryst. Bio bombs are more than enough, always make sure they work well.

A 50g bio-bomb every 500 meters. A total of 11 kilograms of ground explosives were needed for 110,000 square meters, plus the extra explosives placed in places with complex terrain and near buildings, a total of less than 20 kilograms were used, and the remaining 80 kilograms were also more than Hiroshima.

Qingliangdian is the bedroom of Mr. Emperor, Huang Xuan specially prepared a 200g biological bomb. Pinch the place squarely with your hands, and carefully bury it in the center of the temple. It is said that when it explodes, the instantaneous temperature within a range of 300 degrees can reach 6000 degrees, which is equivalent to the surface of the sun, and it will explode in just two seconds. , Burn all the oxygen within a hundred meters nearby, theoretically. 3. Thick lead plates or steel plates will not work here.

Dian Wei liked the structure of Qiongdao here quite a bit. It was built in imitation of ancient Chinese legends. The lake represents the sea, and the white gravel on the ground in the palace looks like a beach. Dian Daxia jumped in the rubble pile for a while, crushing countless stones, and only hoped that the guards would not think that the elephant was crossing the border.

After finishing dealing with the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Huang Xuan went around the capital and the nearby Erjo Castle again. Most of the so-called public houses live near here. Although their influence is getting weaker than that of the Wu family. But always a significant political force.

The success of the Meiji Restoration in Japan is inseparable from the Meiji Emperor. Although the shogunate is unpopular. But only the emperor is the orthodox seat of Japan. Therefore, before January 1868, due to Tokugawa Yoshiki returning to the sky\u003e; If it weren't for the shogun who was unwilling to be lonely, it would be hard to say what happened next.

In addition, Japan’s daimyo system was a very important separating factor in the Edo period. From the failure of Tokugawa Yoshiki, we can know that after the defeat of the shogunate army, several daimyos rebelled and even became independent kings. Once the whole of Japan lost The long-awaited ruler—Emperor Meiji and his heirs, or the shogun and his heirs, the history of Japan in the second half of the 19th century, has been revised.

On the fifth day of p129, Huang Xuan returned to Osaka.

Accompanied by dozens of famous businessmen in Osaka, there were not only Mitsui Takasui and Ito Hirobumi, but even a celebrity who had just returned from the front: Okubo Toshimichi. After the success of the Meiji Restoration, he successively served as the Minister of Finance, the Senate, and then the Secretary of the Interior.

Huang Xuan is naturally not familiar with him, but if Lorraine mentions this name, it means that he can benefit from it. Xiao Huang glanced at Okubo Toshimichi with strange eyes, and looked at a bearded man next to him.

This is an Englishman.

"Mr. Paul hopes to build a steel factory in Japan, and we have already agreed. He will guide our construction work." Seeing Huang Xuan's puzzled eyes, Mitsui Gaosui couldn't help but understand.

"Paul Weimars." The British introduced himself.

"welepan=ce

Ito Bowen looked at Huang Xuan in surprise. He had studied in London for many years, so he could naturally hear Huang Xuan's accurate London accent. As for himself, his spoken language was not so standard.

Paul smiled slightly, shook hands with Huang Xuan, and said, "Thank you."

"Are you a diplomat?" Huang Xuan asked in a quite sure tone. He didn't believe any nonsense about guiding the construction work. The maps he gave to the Japanese may not even be understood by the British themselves. The design of the open hearth furnace is still in the hands of Siemens, Germany, and refuses to show it easily. What's more, Lorraine has been monitoring the port of Osaka, and there have been no British ships coming and going recently.

Paul was embarrassed. He didn't expect Huang Xuan to be so direct. Mitsui Takasui quickly smoothed things over and said, "Master Huang. We still have some questions..."

"Is the money ready? It's still 4. I don't have time to delay." Huang Xuan said quite confidently. In fact, he could indeed be confident. And the reason why Mitsui Takasui and Okubo Toshimichi created such a big battle was to get the blueprint in Huang Xuan's hand earlier, because the British had already agreed, as long as there was nothing wrong with it. Just agreed to pay half the price.

4 The British engineer is already waiting at the port terminal, waiting for the identification of the drawings.

Although Huang Xuan didn't know this, he was very familiar with the Japanese business habits of later generations. After all, Japan is China's third largest trading partner, and the Huang's Fund is also inextricably linked with the Japanese chaebol. Those who can break it down clearly, no matter it is Zhang Xinyi. Still Huang Jindi has a lot to say when talking about Japan. .

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy can lead to victorious battles. Hirobumi Ito thought that Huang Xuan was an official of the Qing Dynasty, so he used the same trick he used against officials of the Qing Dynasty. He didn't know it, and it was counterproductive.

Ito Hirobumi grumbled. Standing up from behind Mitsui Kosui, he said: "Master Huang, you have also seen that our country has just gone through a war, and the military expenditure is quite huge, which is difficult to support..." Like the Japanese foreign policy in the Meiji period, senior officials usually have to stay behind. Turn down room. So when talking about diplomatic issues. Be as vague as possible. And by the middle and lower level to carry out the specific description, once there is a problem. Senior officials will feign innocence and let someone else take the blame so that negotiations can continue...

This kind of diplomatic method generally started from Okubo Toshimichi. Although Huang Xuan is not familiar with this celebrity, he is very familiar with this kind of negotiation method in Japan. I remember that when the Sifang Group first started doing business with Japan, it was done twice. When the negotiations broke down, low-level officials took the responsibility, bowed and apologized, and finally signed a very strong contract with the Sifang Group.

If no British showed up, Huang Xuan might consider lowering the asking price, but Paul's status as a diplomat showed that the drawings he produced must be of great value.

Huang Xuan insisted: "800,000 taels of silver, of which at least 40 taels of abalone, the rest can be replaced by various fish and livestock."

"Master Huang..." Ito Hirobumi called out hastily.

"If you disagree, then treat it as if it never happened." In the last sentence, Huang Xuan used a very Japanese way of saying it.

Hirobumi Ito stopped talking, Toshitsu Okubo looked at Takasui Mitsui, and said: "Master Huang, there are so many supplies, we need time to raise..."

"5. Pointing, said: "After 5 days, the transaction will automatically end. And..." He paused, and continued: "I'm about to see half of the things now, of course, you can also get half of the blueprints. "

Mitsui Kosui stood silently in the crowd, as if he did not exist. This time it was Iwasaki Yataro who stood up, his mouth pursed, his mustache gently rising and falling, and he said in a rough voice, almost begging: "Master Huang!" ..."

"Don't say any more." Huang Xuan shook his hands. He was still unwilling to take out all the maps and papers. He was still a little worried that Little Japan would become wild and planned to snatch them away. Although he was not afraid of robbery, once the two sides broke their faces, they would always It will reduce the income. Speaking of it, even if you give him thousands of people, it is difficult to take away millions of taels of silver, let alone meet his needs. Therefore, proper communication is necessary, but guarantee Benefits are also necessary.

Maybe the British satisfied the vanity of the Japanese, maybe it was Paul's promise that strengthened Mitsui Takasuki's confidence. He finally coughed and said, "Master Huang, then it's 80 taels of silver. There are quite a few at the pier now." Materials, let's talk over there."

"It's fun." Huang Xuan smirked inwardly, and beckoned Dian Wei to come over. He pulled seven or eight horses, all of which were bought nearby, and each horse was dragging heavy blueprints, like Tang Sanzang coming home Same.

A few words: The future update time will be postponed for two hours: around 1:00 noon and around 7:00 pm. The details are to be determined.
