Since the Black Ship Incident, 米国 has been one of Japan's main sufferers.

And this time in the shelling incident at Shimonoseki, the anger of the United States was also the largest among the four countries.

What Hiroto Ii hid in his arms was a letter written by Tokugawa Yoshiki to Lincoln, which was full of words of forgiveness and talk about how he had been forced to destroy him, and he really had no intention of offending the Celestial Power of the Great Commander.

It is precisely because of this that Hiroto Ii and his entourage have become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the people with lofty ideals.

Hiroto Ikai himself has received numerous physical threats.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and he finally arrived at Millican, and victory was in sight.

However, Hiroto Ii did not let his guard down because of this.

Because this time, the samurai who protected him on his visit to the United States, although they were all orthodox samurai loyal to the shogunate.

However, it is difficult to say whether these young people have been deceived by the fallacies and heresies of the Shoyi faction.

Those hot-blooded but simple-minded young people can't see the world in front of them clearly, and they don't understand the truth that if you go outside, you must first settle inside.

Hiroto Iui, on the other hand, knew very well that Japan would not have a chance of winning a war with the great powers, and even the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species would only be in an instant.

On the other hand, if Japanese women could satisfy the appetite of foreign adults and use women's bodies to create foreign exchange, the shogunate would be able to buy enough Western equipment.

With these equipment, it was possible to suppress the powerful feudal clans in the southwest, and at the same time, it also made the public (imperial family) who were about to move aware of the situation.

Whether it was the integration of public and military forces or the return of the great government, this was a situation that the Tokugawa shogunate was unwilling to accept.

Of course, such a magical thing as a war with the Western powers was not yet in the scope of Hiroto Iui's consideration.

After all, he once traveled to the Great Qing Kingdom.

He and Takasugi Shinsaku, a famous minister of the Choshu Domain, who also investigated the Qing Dynasty, came to the same conclusion: China is no longer the China of the past.

Foreign merchant ships compete in the port of Tianjin, foreign merchant houses are lined up on the streets, groups of sailors come down from warships to carry out tasks, and the Waibaidu Bridge on the Suzhou Creek is only open to foreigners for free......

"The trend of Shanghai can be described as a British dependent country!"

"This is not a fire from across the shore...... Who can guarantee that our country will not suffer from this state of affairs? It's dangerous! ”

With this understanding, Hiroto Ii resolutely opposed war against foreigners.

After the Shimonoseki War, he also advocated "making the best of the material resources of the shogunate and favoring the foreigners", and only by relying on the strength of the foreigners could he suppress the powerful feudal lords in the country and the increasingly rude "reformers".

This is the right way to lead Japan into a civilized country!

……

Just as Hiroto Ii was doing ideological work for his subordinates, a white sailor opened the door rudely: "The port has arrived, let's get ready to disembark!" ”

There is always an end to a long journey.

Standing on the deck, a cold harbor was already in sight.

Iai had long heard that although the western part of Citigroup was not populous, the scenery was magnificent, and when he saw it at this time, if he was not full of sorrow, he couldn't help but write a poem.

And at an angle that Ii didn't notice, the look of struggle on Noichiro Morishita's face flashed.

As the samurai's chosen escort for Hiroshi Ii, Noichiro Morishita is a powerful samurai, and he belongs to the Shinsengumi, a samurai organization under the Aizu Domain of Samake, and his identity is very reliable.

However, this reliability has actually quietly deteriorated.

Born into a family of down-and-out samurai, Morishita began to learn swordsmanship and writing at an early age, showing a high level of talent.

Even in the talent-rich Shinsengumi, Noichiro Morishita still became the captain of the Miban team by virtue of his own strength.

Saitoichi, a well-known assassination expert in the future and who succeeded as the captain of the Sanban team, is now a junior newcomer under Morishita, and he can't even shout loudly.

As a member of the Mibu Wolves, Morishita has his hands stained with the blood of revolutionary fighters.

After countless killings, Morishita didn't even notice himself, and his faith was shaken.

Finally, when beheading a deserter who had failed to assassinate the British minister, the young samurai changed Morishita with his last words before he died.

Zuo curtain or anti curtain, respect for the public or respect for the military, what is the importance of these?

The key is to survive in the dead and end the situation of Westerners running rampant!

"More than 200 years of peaceful habits have polluted people's hearts, and once they start fighting, they will make the world refreshed, and the Central Plains will be settled, constituting a grand event. A decisive battle is the focus of survival in death, and the most important thing! ”

Morishita silently recalled the opponent who was whimpering under the heavy rain that day.

His swordsmanship sucks, but his last words pierced Morishita's heart.

……

Putting away the binoculars, Zhu Fugui had a black question mark expression on his face.

Zheng Baoguo reported that the so-called "three-butt flag" was personally identified by Zhu Fugui, but it was actually the family crest of the Tokugawa shogunate-three-leaf aoi.

To be reasonable, Zhu Fugui never thought that he would deal with the Tokugawa shogunate.

Even if it is the most optimistic estimate that he can gain a foothold in North America and counterattack the homeland of China, Zhu Fugui does not think that he can meet the Tokugawa shogunate.

That thing doesn't have a few years to live, and if you want to touch it, you'll run into that little ghost of Meiji.

I never thought that I wouldn't go to the mountains and come by myself, but the people from the Tokugawa shogunate actually came by themselves.

For a while, Zhu Fugui really didn't think about how to deal with this matter.

Let's be improvised!

Zhu Fugui ordered all the staff to hide, set up an ambush circle on the dock, and then talk about the edge OB first.

……

The merchant ship Pembroke slowly sailed into the Xinjin wharf.

Five hundred meters away, Yin Susu adjusted the firing angle of the red-coated cannon with great interest, looking forward to something good happening.

50 Ming Royal Army concealed the ambush, and watched the island people who had a good life disembark.

To Zhu Fugui's surprise, but it was reasonable, the first to walk down from the boat were a few white people.

Immediately after, there was a groveling little Japanese old man, who was talking to a white man about something.

Qi Wenchang asked, "Dashuai, it seems that these Dongying people seem to be guests of the white bandits?" Do you want to attack? ”

These words made Yin Susu's eyes light up.

"Don't use cannons!" Zhu Fugui hurriedly interrupted Yin Susu's thoughts.

Preparing the cannon is to prevent a situation like "walking down a cart of bread people".

If a regular army came down from this small merchant ship, then Zhu Fugui would definitely not care about how many shots he would do first.

But now it seems that the number of people on the opposite side is limited, and it is completely possible to simply capture and leave a living mouth.

The incident of blowing up the chapel with three guns before is still vivid, and Zhu Fugui doesn't want to use a shovel and a broom to collect the bodies of those little Japanese for a while.

At this time, the Japanese and Americans on the dock also seemed to feel a little strange.

Hiroto Ii deliberately changed into a new suit, put on a civilization hat on his head, and held a civilization staff in his hand.

It's just that with his height of less than 1.55 meters, it's funny to look at this outfit.

He looked around and said, "William-kun, why is there no one on the dock, will something happen?" ”

William said indifferently: "Today is Sunday, everyone probably goes to the church to worship, this kind of remote place is like this." By the way, Iino-kun, I think you seem to be a Christian too? ”

"Yes, yes, I have taken refuge in the arms of the Lord!"

Ikai hurriedly drew a cross on his chest, "Amen! ”

"These Dongying people are really the lackeys of the white bandits!"

At this time, the Third Flag, dressed in stealth camouflage and hiding less than ten meters away from them, was ready to launch an arrest operation as planned.

Since the Yellow Flag Commander was injured and hospitalized in the previous firefight, Mo Bai became the acting Xiaoqi of the Third Banner.

Just as he was making sign language and everyone jumped up, suddenly a strange change in the field protruded.

"Onboard—"

A young attendant dressed in a samurai uniform suddenly pulled out a small sword from his bosom and slammed it forward.

The Japanese samurai and American sailors around him were all tempted to stop him in a momentary consternation.

But this assassin was none other than Noichiro Morishita.

He is extremely fast and extremely agile.

"Yaga, do you know what you're doing!" After scolding, Hiroto Sakai hurriedly hugged his head and squatted down.

Lieutenant Colonel McCann pulled out his pistol and tried to take down the emaciated yellow-skinned monkey.

However, Morishone dived, dodged McCann's shot, and then stabbed Lieutenant Colonel McCann in the left rib.

Then there was a change of direction, and the little knife, with red blood, stabbed into the chest of the American businessman William in the frightened sight of the latter.

William, who was still talking one second, trying to sell the ideas of Puritan evangelicalism, turned into a corpse the next.
