Chapter 568

It's really a big deal that Gao shanjinzuo talked with Gabriel tonight.

Just as the vassal lords were still bickering over whether to order Tokugawa Qingxi to return the great government and be responsible for a series of mistakes made by the shogunate, takasugi jinzuo had made a quick decision and decided to end the war in Kyoto. The main purpose of his visit to Kyoto was to meet with Okubo and nishiko Longsheng to make a plan for the end of the war.

They decided to cheat Tokugawa Qingxi from Edo to Kyoto First, and then use force to detain him directly. However, Tokugawa Qingxi himself is also very vigilant and suspicious, and may not be able to guess their plan. If he comes to Kyoto, there will be soldiers and horses to protect him all the time. In addition, the Kyoto shogunate has a strong force. In addition to the three royal families and the three Qing families, there are new election teams and see Hui Group and other ronin groups.

If the troops of Changzhou or Samoan were transferred to Beijing, Tokugawa keihi would be aware of it, and it would probably turn into a nationwide scuffle.

This is not what takasugi jinzuo and okubolito want to see. They still hope to complete the change of power through a small-scale coup, preferably a palace coup, so as to keep Japan's vitality to the greatest extent. This requires more manpower, and they need to send these people to Kyoto without telling the shogunate.

They finally placed their hopes on Gabriel, a French businessman.

As early as the reform of Changzhou, Gao shanjinzuo had contact and cooperation with Gabriel. He knew that the latter had a wide range of business, not only in cotton yarn, iron guns and firecrackers. Even Gao shanjinzuo's purchase of new warship Bingchen pills was led by Gabriel. Coupled with his French identity, few people dared to check his freighter.

Takasugi hopes to order a batch of weapons from Gabriel and transport them to Kyoto under the cover of cotton yarn freighter. Meanwhile, a 300 person Samurai team, as a secret weapon against Tokugawa keihi, will also be transported to Kyoto through this channel. For this reason, Samo and Changzhou are willing to pay a high price of 10000 taels of gold.

However, Gabriel did not immediately agree.

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, no matter which country is no exception. What's more, Gabriel is still the most greedy businessman. His business in Japan has made him a lot of money over the years. But it is because of this that he has to carefully consider the deal proposed by takasugi Shinzo.

Gabriel, like other Western businessmen, is also quietly paying attention to the civil war in Japan. However, in addition to the high voice of fighting foreigners before, for their own safety, the United Fleet of Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands retaliated against Japan, foreigners still try not to participate in the civil war in Japan.

For example, when the second shogunate war was defeated by takasugi jinzuo, the western countries were onlookers from beginning to end, because at present, either the shogunate or the downfall faction could win the final victory. The downfall faction had a criminal record of assassinating Westerners before, but now advocated the founding of the country. On the contrary, the shogunate led by Tokugawa Qingxi cooperated with the western countries before But now they tend to continue to lock up the country, so the western countries now have no clear position to support which side.

The risk of political investment is very high. Once it fails, it will be hostile to the next ruler. But on the other hand, political investment is also the most profiteering investment. Although Gabriel did not agree to Gao shanjinzuo's request, he did not explicitly refuse it.

In fact, this is to put forward a clear attitude and ask Gao shanjinzuo to add more weight.

All the warriors on the scene secretly scolded Gabriel for being greedy, but now the initiative is really in the hands of the French businessman. If he does not nod his head, Changzhou and Samo will not be able to send troops in, and the armed fall will not be able to continue.

…………

Zhang Heng was actually a bit surprised.

In history, okubolito and nishiang lungsheng are indeed the main forces of the fall of the curtain. However, the time is not so far ahead. In fact, if the fall of the curtain faction drags on for a while, Tokugawa Qingxi himself will play the trick of returning the power of the shogunate to the emperor of Meiji in exchange for his position and power in the new government. He will die The younger generation's move is really powerful.

Not only did okubolito and nishiang lungsheng no longer have the excuse to carry out the palace coup, but they also successfully divided the power of the downfall faction. After the return of the grand government, Tokugawa Qingxi's comments began to change. More and more people said good things for him and hoped that he would join the new government, while okubolito and nishiang lungsheng became more and more isolated.

In fact, the final deployment of troops to Beijing was the last choice after being forced into a desperate situation. At that time, the Samoan forces had no advantage over the shogunate. However, in the end, facing the shogunate troops three times as much as himself, nishiyiang lungsheng still won the battle of bird's feathers. Of course, these are the afterwords.

Compared with history, Gao shanjinzuo is still alive, which is undoubtedly a big variable. However, although he came to Kyoto and talked in front of the public, he may be able to hide the samurai of the two vassals in the teahouse, but Zhang Heng's observation through the deductive method still let him see that Gao shanjinzuo really didn't have much time, and his face is very beautiful There's a lot of dead air in the air.

Maybe that's why he can't wait to start something big, because he wants to see the new era he has created before he dies.But before that, he needs to negotiate with Gabriel about the current business.

French businessmen have a big appetite. They are not only satisfied with 10000 taels of gold. However, takasugi jinzuo has his own bottom line. Although some people in the downfall school also advocate learning from the west, at the same time, many people are also wary of those Westerners interfering in their own affairs, such as Xixiang Longsheng.

The Kanagawa treaty caused the shogunate to lose its reputation among the people. Such a lesson can still be seen. Obviously, the new regime can not repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, according to the consensus reached by takasugi Shinzo and his group, Gabriel can talk about money, but it can only be money. If he wants something else, the downfall faction can only find another way, even if it has to postpone the downfall Move.

In order to prevent communication barriers caused by language differences, both sides bring translators to convey their respective meanings as much as possible. At the same time, they can correct the translation errors of the other party and try to ensure that their true intentions are known by the other party.

However, Zhang Heng's mind is not in this business meeting. He has been thinking about how to get the bead pill from Nakamura's waist. At the same time, the most important thing is how to walk out of this flower street alive.

Since the person who came here tonight is takasugi jinzuo, it is obviously impossible for the downcast party to let him, a temporary translator employed on the way, walk out of the tea house alive.

Once the two sides have a good deal and reach a consensus, his value will be gone.
