"Ministers and others knock to see Your Majesty!"

Lao Fifteen and He Tao arrived quickly, not long after Li Dequan went, the two of them had already marched into the heart cultivation hall one after another, this time seeing Hongqing sitting on the top, they didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, and they rushed forward in a hurry, and they all bowed together.

"Excuse me, come here, give a seat to the fifteenth uncle."

The fifteenth is Hongqing's most powerful supporter in the court, and he can't be taken lightly, and he doesn't wait for the two of them to finish the courtesy, Hongqing has already raised his hand and gave a seat very kindly.

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Hongqing can be said to be a corporal of Lixian, but the old fifteen did not dare to make a slight mistake in the number of etiquette, and after respectfully following the rules of the court, he sat on the brocade pier carried by a group of little eunuchs.

"Uncle Fifteen is in a hurry to come to see me, could it be that there is something moving in Nanyang?"

Calculating the time, it has been more than a year since Humen sold cigarettes, and even if the Western countries are slow to react, it is almost time to take action at this time.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed a movement, the specific matters, Lord He is clearer, or it is more appropriate to ask Lord He to elaborate."

Lao Fifteen was not greedy for merit, but recommended He Tao to elaborate on various matters.

"yes, that's right."

Hongqing was obviously very satisfied with the cautious attitude of the old fifteen, but there were not many words, just a calm voice and agreed to his request.

"In February, the Malacca rudder had sent back the news, saying that there were Japanese people secretly colluding with the Ximan, intending to buy arms in large quantities, and Weichen did not dare to be careless, so he immediately stepped up to inquire into the details of the Japanese and Nanyang rudders, and this afternoon, the Dongying rudder finally sent back a secret telegram, and the existing message is here, please take a look at it."

He Tao is an old man with a "sharp knife", and it is not the first time that he has served under Hongqing, he knows Hongqing's temperament, and he does not have any long words, just briefly introduces the situation, and then takes out Zhang Mi from his wide sleeves and raises it high above his head.

"Hand it over."

Since the last year after the radio wave machine was verified in the ocean of Shangchuan Island, Hongqing had already ordered the wireless telegraph machine to be popularized and used in the navy and the eight major group armies, and also ordered to transfer some of the aircraft to the overseas intelligence bureau, but due to transportation and confidentiality problems, the overseas rudder has not been widely rolled out, and only a few places such as the Japanese country and Malacca have made deployments, but when it comes to specific applications, Hongqing has really not paid much attention to it, and now I heard that Dongying rudder has a secret message sent back, When even came the interest.

"Wow!"

As soon as he heard Hongqing's order, a little eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly and respectfully agreed, hurriedly ran down the front pier, stretched out his hand to take the secret message held high by He Tao, and then respectfully forwarded it to the dragon case in front of Hongqing.

"I know about this matter, after He Aiqing goes back, and orders Dongying to divide the rudder to strengthen surveillance, don't startle the snake, I will make some arrangements, go."

The secret message was not very long, only more than a thousand words, but Hongqing read it very slowly, and after a long time, he put down the message, but did not comment on the things contained in the telegram, and only gave a sentence in a slightly cold voice.

"Your Majesty Xià Shengming, Weichen obeys the order!"

As an intelligence officer, He Tao knows what to ask and what not to ask, even if Hongqing has already put his words here, he does not dare to be the slightest neglect, even if there are countless questions in his heart, he can only respectfully promise......

Mid-Autumn Festival, in the Han culture is one of the four major festivals, has always been very grand, in the plagiarized Han culture of the Wa country, the same, this is not, there are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Kii Domain's guardian Dai Tokugawa Mingran's house is already a group of festive, guests gathered, not only a few daimyo around have come in person, even Kyoto has a lot of nobles, the house is full of lights, servants shuttle back and forth, it is really lively as if boiling a pot of water, but in a secret room in the backyard is a depressing dead silence, not no one is there, On the contrary, there were nearly twenty men in luxurious costumes crowded into the small secret room, young and old, the only thing that was the same was the solemn face of all the people, although there were many people, but all of them sat upright like carved clay sculptures of wood.

"Squeak."

With a piercing sound, the two thick wooden doors of the secret room were opened from the outside, and immediately a sixty-year-old man, escorted by two strong samurai, marched proudly into the secret room, this person was the Daimyo of the Kii Domain, Tokugawa Amine.

"Tokugawa-kun."

"Tokugawa-sama."

"Brother Minglan."

……

As soon as he saw that it was Tokugawa Amine, all the people who had been kneeling on the ground got up and saluted with their mouths, and the scene inevitably became a little chaotic.

"All of you, please sit down."

In the face of everyone's chaotic salutes, Tokugawa Minglan Muran didn't even have the slightest smile on his face, he just pressed his hand indifferently, and commanded in a gloomy voice.

"Tokugawa-kun, what's going on?"

As a daimyo, Tokugawa Minglan's identity is certainly noble, but among the people present, there are many people whose identity is not below him, and those who are calm are just that, so he knelt down and sat down according to his words, but he was in a hurry, obviously not so good, no, he didn't wait for Tokugawa Minglan to sit down, Sei Kazutori, who had just taken over the name of Qiao Ben for less than a year, was already unable to hold his breath and asked.

"Yes, Tokugawa-kun, just tell me about it."

"Tokugawa-sama, do you have any instructions from the shogun?"

"Tokugawa-kun, you're selling Guanzi, so it's not exciting."

……

With Sei Kazutori taking the lead, all the young Zhuang factions immediately lost their breath, and they all shouted one after another.

"Okay, whatever the noise, calm down and listen to what Tokugawa-kun has to say."

When the young Zhuang faction shouted like this, Tokugawa Minglan didn't have a special reaction, but some people couldn't see it, but when they saw an old man kneeling in the first person in the guest seat, his eyes were as sharp as knives and looked around everyone, and he broke off his throat coldly.

This old man is the emperor's minister Nishimura Junichiro, the position is noble, representing the majesty of the emperor, as soon as he opened his mouth like this, even if the young Zhuang faction below was not convinced, they didn't dare to be more presumptuous, so they could only keep their mouths shut.

"Tokugawa-kun, please."

Junichiro Nishimura was obviously very satisfied that his majesty was reflected, but he didn't do anything noisy, and instead bowed slightly to Tokugawa Minglan and gestured very politely.

"Gentlemen, the general has reached an agreement with the red-haired people, as long as we do something, the western countries will send a large army to help, and now the large fleets of the western countries are on the way, in addition, a large number of advanced firearms have arrived, the general is arming the army with all his might, and sent a batch of emergency to me, come and carry up!"

As an old man who came from the Tokukang shogunate era, Tokugawa Minglan has always regarded himself very highly, and he is very dissatisfied with the impolite behavior of Sei Kazutori and others, but now it is the time to employ people, even if there is more dissatisfaction, he does not dare to show it, after all, this move is the Tokugawa family's full fight, can be successful, and can restore the glory of the Tokugawa family, if it fails, it will be a catastrophe, in order to complete the new Tokugawa family head Tokugawa family's entrustment, even if there is a great grievance and resentment, Tokugawa Amineki can only endure it.

"Hey!"

As soon as he heard Tokugawa Minglan's order, a samurai who followed him immediately respectfully agreed, and quickly exited the secret room.

"Open!"

As soon as the box landed, and before the samurai could ask for instructions, Tokugawa Minglan had already waved his hand in high spirits and gave the order heroically.

"Hey!"

Since Tokugawa Minglan had given the order, the servants who carried the box did not dare to be the slightest slack, and bowed down in unison to answer the promise, and pried open the lid of the box with all hands and feet, revealing ten smoothbore guns neatly stacked inside.

"Hiss......"

"Hoo ......"

……

As soon as the gun appeared, the spirits of all the people present were suddenly lifted, and the sound of inhalation resounded one after another.

"Good gun, Tokugawa-kun, this gun ......"

Since the defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate, it has been sixteen years, many of the daimyo who participated in the war have died, and the new batch has not experienced the painful lessons of the year, seeing the Japanese country bowing down under the iron hooves of the Qing army, they are not convinced, and they have long thought about raising troops to drive the Qing army out of the country, but there is no powerful firearm in their hands to help, so they don't dare to act rashly at all, and now they see this box of new guns, all the young Zhuang faction daimyo are all a little uncontrollable, and they belong to Sei Kazutori The most anxious, the first one came out and asked tentatively for half of the words.

"This gun was bought by the general from the country of Great Britain with a huge amount of money, a total of 10,000 guns, in order to ensure the success of our righteous uprising, the general specially allocated 3,000 guns, and those who are willing to follow the general can bring them back to equip the troops and prepare for the uprising!"

Tokugawa Minglan was obviously very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm for muskets, and he didn't sell it very much, and made the theme clear from the beginning.

"Okay, done!"

"Count me in!"

"And me!"

……

A group of young Zhuang faction daimyo were already willing to resist the occupation of the Qing army, and when they saw that they had the support of so many muskets, how could they still calm down, and they all raised their arms and shouted, and soon, the old daimyo who had planned to wait and see couldn't sit still, and they followed suit one after another, and the whole secret room suddenly became noisy like a vegetable market......
