Paragraph 1 - The Japanese government promised that all crimes committed by nationals of the Han Empire in Japan in the future would only be handed over to the local garrisons of the Han Empire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Paragraph 2 - The Japanese government promised to cede five port cities, including Yokohama, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Kagoshima, and Osaka, as territories directly under the Han Empire!

Paragraph 3 - The Government of Japan promises that the land and islands along the coast of Japan will not be ceded or leased to any country other than the Han Empire, under any name!

Paragraph 4 - The Japanese government promised that all foreign trade must be inspected at the checkpoints set up by the Han Empire and paid to the Han Empire in accordance with regulations...... Tariff ......"

"Yaga! No need to read it! This is not an armistice and reconciliation treaty at all, this is to destroy our country! Noguchi Yamamoto, who was sitting at the top, roared angrily.

Noguchi Yamamoto was the Shogunate's Wakanian Yoshi (during the Tokugawa Shogunate period, he was in charge of the shogun's direct military commander Banner and the retainers' imperial family, and the entire shogunate was rated as three to five, and here he was the commander of the crusading army!) How is it possible to agree to such a treaty of death?

This is only four, the Han Empire will have to cede land and control tariffs, no matter how superior the treaty is, Noguchi Yamamoto will not dare to agree to it!

No matter how you look at these 21 articles, they are like the dismemberment and division of the victorious country against the defeated country......

Next to the Yamada Honshi Daime Fu (under the control of the old man, as the eyes and ears of the old man, carry out the supervision of the daimyo, the confession, the Gao family, etc., responsible for the supervision of all the shogunate, here as a crusade against the military supervision of the army and other duties. He took the treaty document from the envoy's hand, and the words on it had been translated into Japanese by a special translator, but it did not prevent him from reading it.

But......

Even the good-tempered Yamada Motoshi frowned more and more, the 21 articles of the Han Empire were really doing everything, looting and occupying Japan from all aspects, in addition to recognizing and protecting the Tokugawa family to continue to serve as the shogun, any one is to dig the foundation of Japan again!

If this is agreed, the shogunate family will instantly lose its reputation in Japan, not to mention the two great foreign domains of the Satsuma Domain and the Nagasu Domain, even those daimyo and powerful clans that are pro-Shogunate will immediately change their position and set off a rebellion!

Yamada Motoshi threw the 21 traitorous treaties in his hand back into the hands of the envoy, and turned to Noguchi Yamamoto Wakanian and said: "Your Excellency Noguchi, the Han Empire from overseas has no sincerity in peace talks, and their landing army is on the periphery of Yokohama Town, driving the people to build defensive fortifications, obviously preparing for a long-term war, it seems that we must fight!" ”

Noguchi Yamamoto rubbed his chin with his right hand and frowned: "I heard that this Han Empire is from the distant New World, and judging from the landing battle, their firearms are more advanced than those we use, this battle is difficult!" ”

"The Han Empire's army firearms are very strong, but they are few in number, we can take advantage of the numerical advantage to blockade and besiege the town of Yokohama, and force them to come out to fight with our army in the field, our Mahui (that is, the cavalry) is not available in the Han army, in the field we will inevitably have an advantage, if the Han Empire army does not come out to fight, we can rely on the siege, pull a group of farmers to temporarily form a light army, and slowly consume their ammunition, the soldiers of the Han Empire rely on firearms, there is no ammunition, They simply can't resist the attack of our Qimoto and the Imperial Family! (Hatamoto and the Imperial Family were samurai directly under the Shogunate, and the status of the Banner was higher than that of the Imperial Family, and the high-ranking Bannermoto often ruled over their own retainers and samurai!) ）”

"What is the number of landing soldiers in the Han Empire?" Noguchi Yamamoto asked.

"About 1,000 people." A samurai standing in front of him replied.

"More than 1,000 people, we have gathered 5,000 people to pull onto the battlefield, 5 times the enemy's strength, plus in the field, it should be enough to win, pass the order, all armed, go to Yokohama Town! Expel the foreign enemy! ”

Noguchi Yamamoto ordered.

After the samurai retainers and other miscellaneous people in the house had left, Yamada Motoshi came to Noguchi Yamamoto and reminded: "Your Excellency Noguchi, the 21 traitorous treaties submitted by the Han Empire must not be presented to the general before the battle is won or lost!"

If we win, these 21 will naturally be a joke, if there is an accident, these excessive requirements of the Han Empire may become a life-saving retreat for you and me! ”

Noguchi Yamamoto squinted at Yamada Motoshi, his eyes flickered, and after a long time, "I have my own measure, Yamada Jun should do his own thing!" ”

――――

The town of Yokohama, the temporary operational command of Mondora.

"My lord, the Tokugawa Shogunate's crusading army is approaching Yokohama Town and will arrive soon, what should we do next?"

Mondola raised her hand and signaled the two petite Japanese 'female artists' behind her to step back, stood up and instructed Shimahito, who personally reported the news: "Since the enemy's army is coming, it is natural to fight back, some people, if they are not beaten, they will not understand their status, come here, prepare horses!" ”

"Your Excellency, we have already built fortifications in Yokohama Town, and we can completely guard here, and the sea is covered by the Empire's powerful fleet, so we don't have to worry about losing contact with the outside world." Shimahito suggested that in the face of the Tokugawa shogunate's crusading army, which is known as more than 10,000, Shimahito does not want to let his backers be defeated!

In any case, defending the city is better than attacking......

"Haha, Shimaren, you won't understand, our army's main combat strength relies on firearms, and it is not afraid of field battles, and it is extremely aggressive, why should I give up the initiative?

What's more, I don't have that much time to spend with the Tokugawa shogunate's army! ”

Leaving Shimaren with an ignorant face, Mondora left the headquarters on his own and went to the barracks to mobilize troops!

It's not that Mondola doesn't have time, but he has to fight quickly, the Imperial Marines are going thousands of miles to fight, if it is a protracted war, food and grass can still be supplied on the spot, but what about ammunition?

After a long time, the flintlock pistol in the soldier's hand turned into a burning stick, and the Marine Corps was finished!

Therefore, he must completely defeat the main force sent by the Tokugawa shogunate with the momentum of thunder, and play the great military power of the Han Empire, he does not need to really destroy the Tokugawa shogunate regime, he just needs to make the Tokugawa shogunate submit and agree to the 21 articles to exceed the task!

Yes, it was excessive, because the task of the 1st Expeditionary Fleet was not to force the Tokugawa shogunate to sign Article 21, but to lay down an advance landing base on the territory of Japan! (To be continued.) )
