Chapter 81: The Aftermath
With its speed, the Rain shook off Yukikaze and fled directly in the direction of Edo - while Yukikaze lost all of his teammates (all the winged monsters were wiped out) and had to return to Nagasaki cautiously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Faced with such a result, Tokugawa Ieyasu angry points MAX!
"You bunch of shit! He couldn't even kill a small boat that the traitors had stolen, and he threw away all the winged monsters and dragged them all down to punish them severely! ”
"My lord spares his life......"
All the officers of the Yukikaze were dragged away, and seeing that Tokugawa Ieyasu was still angry, Yuri kindly comforted, "Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, now that this kind of thing has happened irreparably, why don't you take this opportunity to start sending troops?" ”
"Let's start now, but the army isn't ready yet......"
Tokugawa Ieyasu was a little hesitant, he knew that although the army at hand was large, the weak peasant soldiers and allies had not yet been assembled, and there would definitely be problems in hastiness.
At this moment, the attendant ran over and reported to the two, "My lord, His Majesty Emperor Kagura has asked to see you. ”
"The dull-headed woman wants to see me?"
“…… Yes"
"Then let her come, I just want to know what is going on in the Heavenly King's Pavilion."
Kagura soon arrives in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu, but instead of explaining what happened, she insists that her sister Jiuho be killed.
"If Jiufeng is allowed to be taken away by others, she will definitely be used to oppose my throne and the cause of Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, and only by killing her can we guarantee that nothing will go wrong!"
"Do you really think so? You know, it's your sister, maybe the only relative in the world. ”
"Loved ones...... I don't have relatives like her, I only know how to speak pretty things seriously, and I have never considered my feelings, so why interfere with the lifestyle I choose! ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Kagura with interest, listened to the other party's roars and complaints, and once again confirmed his chosen emperor.
"Then do as you wish, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Tokugawa Ieyasu agreed to Emperor Kagura's request, turned around and began to give orders, "Pass the order, send the front team to Osaka to reconnoitre, and the other military headquarters will leave and start moving, and send troops in ten days!" ”
"Hey!"
Just as the Tokugawa Army in Nagasaki was up and running, the Tokiyu returned to the Edo Concession with its passengers.
Faced with the sudden air battleship, the Oda family's troops looked a little nervous, but Nobunaga soon got information from Lorraine that this was a weapon that Tokugawa Ieyasu had bought back from abroad!
Anti-aircraft firepower has not made much progress since ancient times, and even in the face of large raptors and air combat mages, they don't need large-caliber weapons, after all, their defense is not very high.
However, the new gadget of the floating battleship is definitely not something that a small musket can handle, even if it is to summon extraordinary people to gather fire-the difference in numbers cannot destroy the floating battleship in an instant.
Compared to a single god (which can be done with endless guns and various cluster weapons, armed with gods), it is really still a floating battleship that is more difficult to handle.
Nobunaga couldn't sit still at this moment, so he hurried to the concession with his retainers and guards, and now the forces that can provide the same type of arms and are still very friendly are the only ones left in the Eastern Army.
It didn't take much time to see Lorraine, but as soon as His Excellency the Admiral spoke, Nobunaga was very uncomfortable, "Your Excellency Oda Nobunaga, if you want this kind of floating warship, we should discuss a new treaty." ”
“…… You've already got the Edo Concession, do you want to force me to sign a new treaty!? Nobunaga gritted her teeth and looked at Lorraine, she didn't want her land to be played with by these people with impunity.
"There is no need for a new treaty, it would be better to have less political stuff, what I want to negotiate is a dual-use treaty."
"Dual-use?"
"Yes, there are more trade and trade ports, inland rail train networks and airport construction plans, do you think we can discuss it?"
Lorraine is useful on the surface for discussion, but in fact, if he does not agree to his request, how can Nobunaga deal with the floating battleships of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Uesugi Kenshin?
"Your Excellency Admiral Lorraine Taylor, it occurred to me that today should be a good time for the Cabinet to come to a party?"
"As you wish, I'm honored."
Many historians later referred to this day as a traitorous treaty, because Nobunaga sold the right to build and maintain railways in Edo and nearby areas for 70 years for military support, and also reselected six port cities as treaty ports.
The superiority of the railroad train has long been reflected in the New World founding war, as long as there is a railway, the army can be quickly deployed and a large amount of materials can be transported, which can ensure that the combat area of each army can be greatly enhanced.
Nobunaga didn't know any of this, but she was instinctively interested in foreign affairs, and she learned about the usefulness of railroad trains from various sources and sources, so she agreed.
Of course, Nobunaga's thoughts are similar to those of the Queen Mother of the Rabbit Family, all of whom hope to do something without capital - anyway, the Eastern Army cannot hold the railway rights endlessly, and when the time comes, it will be good to take it back, and it will be able to get a large number of technicians and free railways.
Seventy years of railroad construction and maintenance and six treaty ports were supported by the Eastern Army and the Riberian Exile Army, who provided 12,000 regular troops into battle in Edo, as well as training the new shogunate and providing floating warships and paid naval escorts.
Getting the promise he wanted, and at the same time even the Shiyu was given to Nobunaga, Lorraine was finally able to be proud, "Quietly, the mission given to me by Josephine was completely successful, and now Dongying can absorb more domestic retired soldiers to work!" ”
"Don't be too complacent, bastard!" Alexander was not as easy as Lorraine, "First of all, I have to help the Oda regime hold on to the area under its current rule, and I am not at all sure with the current manpower." ”
"You don't have to worry about that!" The gate was suddenly pushed open, and Admiral Catherine walked over with an excited face and handed over a piece of information to the two of them, "Look, the notice from your country that the merchant fleet and warships have departed, and the advance team is estimated to be arriving in Dongying soon!" ”
"That's a ...... Wait, why did you get information about Brittany!? ”
"Well...... Don't care about these details, hehe. ”
Even if it's an ally, you can't be so presumptuous, can you?
In this way, when the Tokugawa Army officially set out for Osaka, the space began to fluctuate forty kilometers outside the river, and the Eastern Fleet, which had been prepared for a long time, was always on guard and waiting for the arrival of friendly forces.
A minute later, ripples visible to the naked eye appeared, and in the brilliant blue light, the figures of floating warships appeared in them.
The first batch of support from Brittany, the Far Eastern floating battleship Far Eastern detachment has entered!
