epydz (7th 22 of the 14th year of the 14th year of the reign of the Tokyogawa Shogunate, the Tokugawa Shogunate's fine guard post in Edo Bay suddenly appeared, and the Huaxia Sailors, who had been showing off their might in Edo Bay for eleven days, suddenly disappeared

When the news soon reached Edo, the shogunate officials were incredulous, knowing that they had only proposed new and harsher terms for peace three days earlier, and how could they hastily withdraw their troops without receiving a satisfactory answer?

But the facts are there, and the Huaxia sailors are indeed missing" "Due to the trickery of the Huaxia side, the shogunate, which did not dare to slack off, immediately sent some brave ronins to search Edo Bay on several small morning boats that had been preserved with great difficulty, and at the same time sent people to search for the Xia army off the Boso Peninsula and the Uraga Peninsula, but found nothing

As a result, the search was further expanded to include Soki and Kashima Beach, but the final result was the same

Did Xia Jun really retreat? The shogunate did not dare to rush to conclusions because it was constantly receiving reports of attacks from the 6 Oku and Sanyo sides, but the people of Edo Castle were unaware of these hidden secrets, and they were overjoyed to learn that the enemy had retreated without a fight, and the entire town of Edo was bustling with excitement as if it were a New Year's festival

In this atmosphere where everyone is drunk without alcohol, everyone has different opinions on why the Huaxia Army took the initiative to withdraw from the army

Some people say that the Huaxia sailors had to withdraw from the army when they ran out of food and water; Some people say that Huaxia had to return to China because there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Edo Castle and saw that they could not bargain for it; There are also people who speculate whether it is because the war between Huaxia and the Qing State broke out and the sailors need to go back to save the emergency; There are also some outrageous people who believe that the Huaxia sailor was swallowed by the hatred in the sea, and some people also think that this hatred is the incarnation of the Yaqi Orochi, the protector of the Riben, and a shrine should be established to worship it

On the one hand, the shogunate continued to train more than 10,000 ronin soldiers in preparation for the comeback of the Huaxia army, and on the other hand, it continued to send messengers to various places to understand the situation only slowly, and there was no good news of an attack on the current Sanyang side of the shogunate after July 26, and there was no good news on the Okuwa side after July 28, and some coastal feudal clans reported that the Huaxia sailors had sailed out of the Rihon

Xia Jun really retreated\ I don't know the exact reason, but the shogunate can finally breathe a sigh of relief

However, the old middle school of the shogunate center had just slept soundly, and new troubles were already on the table

The coastal feudal clans, which had suffered heavy losses in the Chugoku raids, cried and shouted for financial assistance from the shogunate, especially Mito and other pro-feudal clans. Some of the Inner 6 Domains, which had not been sacked by the Chinese, also demanded that the shogunate be exempted from military service on the grounds that Xia Kou had retired; As for the Sandu merchants, who were extorted by the Huaxia side for a huge ransom fee, although they did not have the power to directly demand anything from the shogunate, they had extensive connections, so the shogunate could exempt or reduce the share of the tribute

On the third day of the eighth month of the eighth month of the same year, the shogunate issued the "Imperial Kou French Style" in an extremely stern tone, stating that although the Xia army retreated, it may not be impossible to re-attack, so in order to ensure the safety of "Shenzhou", the shogunate not only could not reduce the military service and tribute originally collected, but also increased the cost of coastal defense

As soon as "The Imperial Style" came out, the daimyo of the various feudal clans who remained in Edo began to secretly join forces to try to join forces to oppose the shogunate's decision-making, and the wealthy merchants of the three capitals also jumped up and down, trying to make the shogunate extrajudicial favor

Just when there was a lot of uproar about the tax increase, a rumor suddenly appeared in Edo Town that the shogunate had decided to disband the ronin team in order to solve the financial crisis, and the promise that the original promise to recruit the ronin as the lowest-ranking attendant would also be broken, and the disbanded ronin could only be compensated with the same amount of money per person

To be honest, due to the comeback of the Shogunate's Xia Army, there was no intention of disbanding the ronin in a short period of time, but due to the strict financial problems of the shogunate, it was impossible to promote more than 10,000 people to the ground attendants, so it was impossible for the wandering ronins to get the exact promise of the shogunate Since they saw that the elimination might be frustrated, the doubtful ronins quit, and more than 10,000 ronins petitioned the shogunate together, almost causing a big mess

Realizing that he was actually a double-edged sword in his hand, the shogunate began to have doubts about the existence of the ronin team, but the Xia army couldn't start on the ronin team quickly, so the shogunate could divide the ronin team, and a very small number of the ronins were lucky enough to be granted the qualification of the ground servant to become a member of the ruling class, of course, most of these lucky people spent money to make a point or had some connections in the shogunate, as for those who had no money and no connections, naturally they were not promoted

Although he was not among the promotions, he was jealous when he saw that someone around him had been granted the official status of a samurai, and most of the ronins finally came to peace of mind, patiently waiting for the identity change that would never come

Naturally, the disturbances in the country could not affect the Oriental Naval Division, and on July 27, Han Bai's detachment first joined the team led by Gong Tian at a place five miles southwest of Okishima off the coast of Shikokusu Mowan

"Brother Cleaning, I'm fighting well here, why did you suddenly give the order to retreat" Tan An yelled at Tao Chengyu as soon as he returned to the flagship, "Is there something going on in China?" ”

"Nothing in the Country"
