Chapter 648: Edo Castle
"Takeuchi-sama, how did you get back from Osaka? Looking at the dusty look on your face, is there something urgent to come to see the general? ”
Japan is a very small country, and Osaka is not very far from Edo.
So, when the four days passed, Ren Takeuchi and his dogs, who had left Osaka, arrived in Edo, which was very prosperous at this time in the Wa Kingdom, and when Takeuchi entered Edo Castle, he was discovered by the gate guard, who was good at whiskers, and greeted him.
It's a pity that this gate keeper is destined to pat the horse's legs, because at this time, Takeuchi Ren has no heart to talk nonsense with him here, you must know that Takeuchi Ren is very anxious now, he is afraid that the news from Osaka Castle will reach Edo and reach the ears of his son-in-law, and it will have an adverse impact on him.
Ren Takeuchi himself knows very well that the bullshit things he did are unaccustomed to many people, and if things break out at this time, then many people will be happy to fall into the well and ask him to look good.
At that time, Ren Takeuchi thought about it with his ass and knew that his life would not be very easy.
Therefore, Takeuchi did not pay attention to the gate guard at all, but led his men to ride short war horses and gallop past him, leaving only a cloud of dust and smoke.
Phew!
The city gate guard, who ate a mouthful of sand, looked at Ren Takeuchi and his party in the distance, put away their hypocritical expressions, and slowly became very vicious.
Bastard, isn't it because my daughter is favored, so she is so arrogant!
What's the big deal about this.
It's just a small businessman who is a rich man in the countryside, and if it weren't for the fact that your daughter married the shogun, you Takeuchi Ren would not be a countryman.
The gatekeeper spat resentfully on the ground and muttered quietly.
However, this city gate guard also knew that he could only say this behind his back. There's no way he'd say something like that in front of Takeuchi, unless he's crazy or brain-dead.
Don't look at Ren Takeuchi, many people don't have a cold for him. But there are still not many people who dare to fight against him.
Therefore, most people avoid him except when they see him saying something flattering.
For those wealthy families, daimyos, and eunuchs, Takeuchi Ren is just a bubble of stinky shit.
It's a disgusting existence.
The streets of Edo Castle are very straight, the ground is paved with fine gravel, and there are many pedestrians on the streets.
Edo was the economic and political center of the Wakoku Kingdom, and the port was well developed, so Edo's economy developed considerably.
Walking through the streets of Edo, you can see merchants from Daming and merchants from Europe. Even some North Korean businessmen can see one or two from time to time.
Compared to people in other parts of the country, the people living in Edo have a better standard of living and other aspects.
The streets are lined with Japanese-style wooden buildings, most of which are one-story high, and a few are two-storey.
As for the three floors, sorry, no.
Only in the heart of Edo's city is there a building that is more than eight stories tall.
Needless to say, it was Amaba Castle, the residence of the Edo shogun.
Because there are some deviations in the history of this plane. Therefore, some of the historical buildings that were supposed to appear in the Wa Kingdom were all gone, but they were replaced by other buildings.
This eight-story Tianyu City is one of them.
After the Battle of Sekigahara. After Ishida Mitsunari defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu, he occupied Edo Castle, which belonged to the Tokugawa family, and began to develop with Edo as a political and economic center.
At the same time, in order to show off their martial arts. The construction of Tianyu Castle began.
The appearance of Tianyu Castle has to be said to be a real joke of history, but this Tianyu Castle is indeed more beautiful and magnificent than the original historical castle tower.
Therefore, this can be regarded as a product of misfortune.
If it continues according to normal historical development. Then this Tianyu Castle will also become a tourist attraction in the 21st century.
However, now because of the deviation in history, coupled with the constant vibration of the wings of Zhao Hongyu's little butterfly, the future will become confusing, and it is difficult to say.
But no matter what, the appearance of Tenwa Castle has created a sense of pride among many people living near Edo.
Look, we can also build this tall building, you must know that this kind of building is not even in the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that Japan is now considered to be strong.
Well, that's what a lot of Japanese people are saying.
In fact, they know that their thinking is completely self-deception.
There is only one building in Japan now, and this kind of high-rise building, which is relatively rough in Zhao Hong's opinion, actually has no technical content at all.
Only the Japanese people at this time will feel great.
Zhao Hongyu's development and construction in the Americas are all designed according to the planning of Americans in the 21st century, not only taking into account population growth and development, but also the human environment.
Therefore, in Zhao Hongyu's Song Empire, generally speaking, high-rise buildings will not appear.
It's not that he doesn't have that ability, it's that he doesn't want to.
Besides, which country in this era can compare with Zhao Hongyu's Song Kingdom.
Not to mention high-rise buildings, if Zhao Hongyu is willing, he can build a 30-story building, and there is also an elevator.
Although the cost is definitely expensive, Zhao Hongyu will definitely be able to get it.
But Zhao Hongyu is very envious of the community living environment of Americans in the 21st century, so he will not make his Song Kingdom into a reinforced concrete jungle, and he is really tired of that kind of living environment.
How nice it is now, the villa is surrounded by a forest, and the green is endlessly full of life.
In the courtyard of each villa, there will be some small animals running from time to time, which is a perfect combination with nature.
Of course, this is Zhao Hongyu's idea, and only the Song Empire will develop according to this plan.
If the other countries had the ability, they would certainly follow the pattern of historical development and the destruction of the natural environment.
However, this has nothing to do with Zhao Hongyu. They are willing to develop like this.
Anyway, when the resources are exhausted, those resources in the Americas will be valuable.
However, this must be hundreds of years later, and Zhao Hongyu's plan is also for his children and grandchildren to leave a little wealth.
Back at Edo Castle, Hitoshi Takeuchi and his men rode Japanese dwarf horses through the streets, and pedestrians avoided them, and for a time the originally lively streets became full of chickens and dogs.
Some of the ashigaru patrolling the streets found out about the situation and wanted to stop Takeuchi and them.
But when they saw that the initiator was Ren Takeuchi, the small leaders of the ashigaru died down one after another.
Oh my God, for Ren Takeuchi. None of these big and small leaders of Edo Castle know what to do.
You must know that Takeuchi Ren used to be overbearing in Edo.
Frame!
Frame! Frame!
Takeuchi didn't care about the lives of those people, and he didn't have the idea of letting the war horse slow down at all.
For Ren Takeuchi, the lives and deaths of those untouchables have something to do with him, and he is now anxious to go to Tianyu City to meet his daughter, and then discuss with her what has happened recently, and then meet the general.
Then, I had to get myself out of the Osaka incident.
Otherwise, it's not a good thing to wait for you.
Galloping all the way. Many pedestrians on the street were unable to avoid being injured a little, but no one died.
Countless people looked at the backs of Ren Takeuchi and his party who were far away and scolded bitterly.
But for these curses, Ren Takeuchi turned a deaf ear.
Soon, Takeuchi Ren came to Tianyu Castle. He turned over and dismounted and came to the gate of Tianyu City.
"Yo, it's Lord Takeuchi, you're ......", when Takeuchi had just dismounted and walked to the city gate. A guy wearing a black gauze hat on his head and wiping an unknown amount of flour on his face walked out and came over with a smile on his face.
Ren Takeuchi looked up. Recognized the man immediately.
This isn't Kojima-sama.
Ren Takeuchi smiled reluctantly, and then responded.
Since it was the time when the shogunate was in power, the shogun would also deal with some government affairs.
As for that bullshit emperor, it's just a mascot-like ornament.
Therefore, if the noble ministers of the Wa Kingdom have something to do, they will come to Tianyu City to negotiate with the general.
And the court meeting was also held in Tianyu City.
So, if you see the eunuchs who have 'ascended to the Sendai' on the side of Tianyu City, it will not be surprising at all.
"Lord Kojima, don't leave it here, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll have a good chat with you when I have time."
Takeuchi said very politely to this small island, and then walked into the gate of Tenba Castle.
Takeuchi, who has always been very inferior to people, is so polite to this sissy island, and this is really the sun coming out of the west.
It seems that Takeuchi is not afraid of anyone in the Wa Kingdom.
In fact, it is not for nothing that Takeuchi is so polite to this island, first of all, the identity of this island is very noble, and he is also the emperor's male favorite, and at the same time, he also has real power to control a land, and has set an offensive and defensive alliance with some daimyos, to guard against some policies on the shogunate's side.
For the representative island of these people, even the general is a person who turns a blind eye and does not easily offend.
So how can he, Ren Takeuchi, not be long-sighted and take the hard top of others.
It can be said that this island is not an existence that can be bullied at will like other people.
Hitoshi Takeuchi is not a fool!
Kojima looked at the back of Ren Takeuchi, who hurriedly entered Tianyu City, and the corners of his mouth curled up and said: Hmph, it seems that this guy is here to find his daughter to solve the problem, the matter over there in Osaka City is very big, see how long you can be majestic.
Obviously, the news from Osaka Castle has reached Edo.
Ren Takeuchi thought it wasn't. (To be continued......)
