"Sir, after interrogation, the people who attacked the British Embassy of Tochan Temple were patriots from the Mito family..." Andonoshi was kneeling outside the curtain and reported to Tokugawa Ishimatsu with fear.
A few days ago, Tokugawa Ishimaki's rare outrage was scared almost everyone in the shogunate to speak.
Tokugawa Ishishi sighed heavily: "Mito, is it..."
The problem of the Mito family is left behind by the dead Naosuke Ii. After all, the main victims of the Anmatsu Prison in the past two years were concentrated in the Mito family. The Mito family is now also the most dangerous vassal with the shogunate relationship.
Very tricky.
"Secretly executed." Tokugawa Ieshima announced the fate of these so-called "patriots".
"They want to have a septum..." Andenxin looked up and wanted to say something.
"No." Tokugawa Ishimaki directly interrupted Andenoshi and gritted his teeth.
After being silent for a while again, Tokugawa Ishima patted his face: "I'm going to negotiate with... the British."
Andenxin was lying on the ground.
Tokugawa Ishiki walked over to Ando Nobumasa.
"Nobuma, you will stand beside me." Tokugawa Ishimaki looked at Nobuma Anda on the ground, "Right."
Andenxin didn't dare to speak.
Tokugawa Ishiki's eyes were slightly dim. He didn't ask any more and walked out.
......
Zuocun stood on the deck and looked at the sea water below.
"Hey--"
After leaping, Zuocun got into the water.
Groping at the bottom of the water, Zuocun looked at the sea from underwater.
Gululu—
As his feet swam, Zuocun's legs burst out with shocking power and impact.
puff--
Zuocun jumped out of the water with his strength and grabbed the rope on the side of the hull.
Longma stretched out his hand and pulled Zuocun up.
"It's still very uncomfortable in the water." Zuocun shook his long hair and threw away the salty water.
"It's already very terrifying, this power." Longma said with a smile.
"How did your cannon learn?"
"I have basically learned it." Longma sat down on the deck, "I had a certain foundation, but now I'm just consolidating it."
"What you said is simple." Zuocun smiled and hammered Ryuma's shoulder.
"Hey, Zuocun, I'm thinking." Ryuma's eyes were a little gloomy.
He stroked the knife on his waist: "In the future, is the sword really useful?"
"Rifles, cannons, and these things are not only more lethal than swords, but also, most importantly, it is easy to get started, and a child can use firearms after simple training."
Zuocun was slightly silent.
After thinking for a while, his tone was a little low: "One of my teachers said that power needs to be restrained. Swords are a kind of power, and warriors holding swords are also a kind of power."
"Guns and cannons are naturally also a kind of power."
"This power was born far from the sword, but due to its advanced nature, it is far better than the sword in all aspects, which is indisputable."
"...But, the teacher also said that strength needs to be restricted."
"The power without restraint cannot and is not worthy of being used."
"At present, the shogunate has done a good job in this regard, and no rifles have been circulated." Ryuma praised the shogunate rarely.
Zuocun nodded too.
"So Zuocun, do you... use guns?"
Zuocun thought for a moment and smiled: "It probably won't be."
"Yes." Longma smiled and shook his head, "With your legs, guns and cannons can't do anything to you."
"Who knows." Zuocun lay on the deck and looked at the sky. "Maybe the sword will be eliminated one day, but in this era before the elimination, there is still some effect, right?"
"I'm not an overly tough person, but for knife... I still want to be a stubborn person." Zuocun reached out and took his three knives.
"You and Okina are both on this road, reaching the extreme." Ryuma looked at the sea in the distance, boundless, "But in general, I'm still a little resistant to the foreseeable ending."
"Well...Ryuma, can you use guns and cannons?" Zuocun asked back.
"Yes." Ryuma replied without hesitation, "I can use it because I know what I do with these things."
"Is that true?" Zuocun smiled.
"Hey, you two, Nao Nao has prepared her meal." Miss Aaron came out from under the deck and looked at the two men.
"Go to have a meal. Since our goals have been achieved, it's time to say goodbye to Mr. Shenghai."
......
"What is the situation in the vassal now?" Takeshi Ruiyama sat on the head seat and asked about the situation in the Tosa vassal.
"The people who are still in Tosa have basically controlled the situation. Yamauchi Shimoto and Kirima Tibetans are in power, but Konan Goro Yuemon and Hirai Yoshihide have also taken office and have been appointed as the Grand Supervisor." A member of the Royal Party replied.
"It's good, it's good." Takeshi Ruishan was still very satisfied.
Since Zuomura killed Yoshida Toyo in advance, there was very little resistance in the vassal, the Tosa vassal was the first among all vassal lords to come to Kyoto, and the other vassal lords have not arrived until August.
Moreover, the anti-barbarians in the Tosa vassal have basically suppressed the stability maintenance faction, and the situation is very good.
Despite this, Ruishan, Takeshi always felt something was wrong and went too far.
Zuomura, Sakamoto, no matter what your purpose is, you must do it as soon as possible.
......
Zuomura and Ryuma left Edo with Miss Aaron and Kazuna Koike.
Zuocun looked at the natural mental health test hall from a distance, shook his head, and did not pay attention again.
"Mr. Takeshi's side will sooner or later be cleaned up by the court and the shogunate."
"I understand that one day these patriots will understand that expelling the barbarians is impossible, and by that time, it is probably the limit that Mr. Wu and others can support."
"As long as you are still in Kyoto for one day, Mr. Takeshi and others cannot claim to change their positions. After all, this matter...only Mr. Takeshi himself knows."
"The combination of Gongwu cannot be successful, and it is even more impossible to respect the king and expel the barbarians. The best way is to win."
Miss Aaron and Kana followed behind and listened in confusion.
"Miss Along, what are they doing?" Kana asked in confusion, holding Miss Along's hand.
"They." Miss Aaron smiled.
"Was cleaning this country."
“Cleaning this country?”
"That's what the two of them said."
......
In August, Emperor Takaaki publicly expressed his apology to the UK and compensated the UK with 50,000 pounds.
At the same time, the opening time of several ports such as Osaka and Hyogo has been postponed.
