Edo, the largest trade, political, and cultural center of contemporary Toei, and the original capital of Kyoto, was increasingly dilapidated by frequent wars and reckless military commanders, until Nobunaga's grandfather and other allies forcibly changed the capital. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the early days, Edo was originally ruled by the Jiang clan, a descendant of the noble sons of the Songren, but later lost its dominance for various reasons and was handed over to the Oda clan, the strongest prince of the modern era.

Thanks to the efforts and strategies of the three generations of the Oda family, the Shogunate period began with Edo as the core, and although there were still two evenly matched vice-ministers, Edo Castle became the largest city in the eastern part of the city for several decades.

According to the standards of the East, which has not yet entered the era of magic industrialization, it is indeed prosperous.

Lorraine, however, did not think so, and when the expeditionary fleet appeared outside Edo Castle, it was met with a large number of light galleons and a very small number of warships, as if they were not even equipped with artillery.

"This is Edo Castle? The capital of Toei's government? ”

"This ...... That's true, Lord Lorraine. ”

The rescued merchant claimed to be Miura, and it is said that he was also a guest of the Edo clan, the first lord of Edo, and of course now he is naturally in the middle of the road and is doing business everywhere to make a living.

"Compared to the distant Xiyi and the luxurious Songyue, Edo is indeed not prosperous...... But in Dongying, this is already the best city! ”

"That's really the case, that's good...... But Miura, ah......"

"Is there anything you need to order, Lord Lorraine?"

"That...... The warships of your country's Navy look a little ...... It's not the same......"

"Huh?"

Following Lorraine's fingers, Miura quickly turned his head, and saw the shogunate fleet with the plum blossom family crest hanging and the warships and light warships rushing towards it menacingly!

“$%#$^#&#!!!”

"Miura...... I don't remember casting a translation spell, what are your officers shouting over there? ”

"Forehead ......"

Miura Celestial Warfare...... Could it be that the foreign nobles faced armed conflict on the first day they came to Dongying, how did that damn chin guy Xiaoqi get mixed into the fleet, and he actually said that kind of thing when he came up......

Seeing Miura's tangled expression, Lorraine also knew that something seemed wrong, and when he was about to mobilize his magic power to recast the spell, Alexander and the others became impatient.

"Hey, hey, hey! What else do we have to wait...... What's going on with those battleships? ”

"I don't know, Miura doesn't seem to want to say anything, do you have any suggestions?"

"What more advice! Didn't you see the battle formation coming from the other side!? Urgent gathering! Level 1 Combat Readiness! ”

“…… Reload! It's finally time for a war!! ”

"Where's the musket! And hurry up and get the bullets up! ”

"The Marines are in position and ready to meet the enemy!"

The soldiers, who had been tortured by the voyage for a long time, finally had a chance to vent some of the anger in these days, and Lorraine shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and teased Alexander in a slightly relaxed tone.

"These Dongying people don't even have a few artillery, are they really here to fight?"

"Maybe they want to scare the Brittanyers to death with their butts."

"It's a ...... joke"

"Hehe......"

The words of the two generals sounded very lighthearted, and they did not pay attention to the shogunate fleet at all, even the Miura thought so.

"But you can't fight!!"

"Why? You Dongying people have rushed over, do you want us to tie our hands and not move? ”

"But they're here to keep the taxes!"

That's right, the imposing Toei shogunate fleet is here to collect taxes.

You may think it is funny, but the main duties of the navy in the shogunate era were to collect taxes, catch fugitives, extort money, loot merchant ships, and finally fight.

The navy of the Mizo family is not very good, and even the Tokugawa family, which has a lot of overseas territories (which were basically robbed by Batu), is at best the level of a local fleet compared to a maritime kingdom like Riberia.

Maybe even Britannia can bully the Eastern Fleet.

"Collecting taxes? What taxes are charged? We're not a merchant ship! ”

"No matter what kind of ship comes to Toei, it will be levied taxes and fees, not to mention that this is Edo, a place where the world's merchants gather!"

It sounds reasonable, but why does Lorraine think she should pay taxes?

This is not a lighthouse of the National Tax Bureau, which has its own agents, military, intelligence network, independent law enforcement powers, and is very violent, and the black bosses would rather face the CIA and FBI than run into the tax office, which is terrifying.

Indeed (do you think I'll say it's weird?). ）

"But, Lord Lorraine, you ......"

"Okay Miura, thank you for the explanation, it's time for you to see what the glory of Brittania is."

At the cost of your flesh and blood and screams, let Dongying bathe under the banner of lilies, and by the way, teach these short Orientals what respect is.

So, the artillery was ready, and the soldiers were super excited to look at the battleships that were getting closer and closer, and even those Dongying merchants felt the sky-high fighting intent.

But can you settle down a little!

Unfortunately, no.

So the Oda family is called the escort fleet, but it's actually extortion, phew, the tax-collecting fleet rushes over!

It's like in some game that can't be said - the situation of the Dongying fleet is very good! They rushed up! That's a lot! The population is at its limit and the enemy is less than half of them!

And then lost.

It's easy to understand, a group of sailing ships and ships, the main weapons are bows and arrows, light ballistae medieval warships have a fart, what do you use against the artillery fleet?

Is it by the few breech guns that have a very close range? Or less than twenty junk artillery pieces on the Edo Battery?

How could it be over......

The people of Edo on the shore had expected to see some seamer being tossed around by a ransom fleet, but this happened many times, and each time it was very interesting.

But when the artillery rang out, the battle cries and muskets of the Xiyi people caused heavy casualties to the ashigaru, and the largest thousand-material warship could not catch two rounds of artillery, and was quickly beaten into a fireball.

"Doesn't it feel a little wrong......"

"Oda, General Oda's fleet, sunk!?"

"That'...... Here it is...... Pirate!!!! ”

The people who reacted finally realized that this was no longer an interesting story, but a real pirate raid!

You must know that the pirate culture in the eastern seas is not weaker than that of Western colleagues at all, and it is common to plunder and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the regular navy.

But Lorraine didn't go too far, after all, she brought so many people to a foreign country to find a job as a hired family to help people solve their troubles!

Well, in essence, it is still to let his subordinates earn enough wealth to settle down, and by the way, let the countries know about the new country of Brittana......

And so on, attacking the fleets of other countries and diplomatic ......

Lorraine covered her face, why didn't she remember her diplomatic mission at the critical moment!!

DR1830, the Bretons appeared in the eastern sea for the first time, then sank the Edo shogunate fleet, and captured the capital of the Toei archipelago while fighting on the border of the Gosanya.
