v2 Chapter 313： Garden blood battle (2)

Takasugi's Jin Zuo talked to Gabriel tonight is indeed a big business.

When the names of the lords were still talking about whether Tokugawa Keiki should be ordered to pay back and responsible for some of the mistakes made by the shogunate, Shinsaku Takasugi had taken the initiative and decided to fall by force in Kyoto. His main purpose of coming to Kyoto was It was to meet with Okubo Litong and Xixiang Longsheng to set a plan for the fall of force.

They decided to deceive Tokugawa Keiichi from Edo to Kyoto first, and then seized him directly by force. However, Tokugawa Keiki himself was very vigilant and suspicious, and he might not be able to guess their plans. If he came to Kyoto, there would be The soldiers and horses are protected at all times. In addition, the strength of the Kyoto Shogunate was also very strong. In addition to the men and horses of the Yusanjia and Qingsanjia, there were also rogue groups such as the newly selected group and the Jianhui group.

And if the soldiers and horses of Changzhou or the Satsuma clan are transferred to Beijing, Tokugawa Keiji will be aware of it, and then 80% will evolve into a nationwide scuffle.

This is not what Takasugi Shinsaku and Okubo want to see. The two still hope to complete the change of power through a small-scale, preferably a palace coup, to preserve Japan's vitality to the maximum. This requires more manpower, but also Send these people to Kyoto without the Shogunate.

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

As early as when the Changzhou Fan reformed and strengthened the army, Jin Zuo had contacted and cooperated with Gabriel. He knew that the latter had a wide range of business, not only the business of cotton yarn, iron cannons, and muskets. He even did it. Even Gao Shanjin's purchase of the new battleship Bingchen Maru was led by Gabriel. Coupled with his French identity, few people dared to check his cargo ship.

Takasugi hopes to be able to quietly order a batch of weapons from Gabriel and cover them with a cotton yarn cargo ship to Kyoto. At the same time, a warrior squad of three hundred people will serve as a secret weapon against Tokugawa Keiji. The channel was transported to Kyoto, for which the Satsuma and Changzhou ancestors were willing to pay a high price of 12,000 gold.

Gabriel, however, did not immediately agree.

It is instinct for a businessman to profit, no matter which country he is, not to mention Gabriel is also the most greedy businessman. His business in Japan over the years has made him a lot of money, but it is because of this that he has to think carefully Takasugi proposed the deal.

Gabriel, like other Western businessmen, is silently watching the civil war in Japan, but in addition to the previous high-pitched calls for his own security, the Anglo-French-French Joint Fleet retaliated against Shimonoseki, and foreigners still tried not to participate in Japan. Civil War.

For example, the second shogunate war was repelled by Takasugi Jinsaku, and the Western nations were only watching from beginning to end, because for the time being, both the shogunate and the sectarians may have the final victory. There was assassination before the sectarians. Westerners have a previous record, but now advocate the founding of the country, and Tokugawa Keiji ’s shogunate is the opposite. Previously, they had cooperated with Western Oceans, but now they are inclined to continue to lock up the country, so Western countries do not have any clear position to support which side .

Political investment is very risky. If it fails, it will be hostile to the next ruler. On the other hand, political investment is also the most profitable investment. Although Gabriel did not agree to Takasugi's request, he did not explicitly reject it.

This is actually a clear indication of the attitude required Takasugi Jin Zuo plus.

All the samurai present scolded Gabriel for greed in his heart, but now the initiative is indeed in the hands of the French businessman. Without he nodding his head, Changzhou and Satsuma could not carry troops in, and the armed downfall could not continue. Next implementation.

…………

Zhang Heng was actually a little surprised.

In history, Okubo-Tori and Xixiang Longsheng were indeed the main forces behind the fall of armed forces, but the time was not so advanced. In fact, the fall-side party would drag on for a while, and Tokugawa Keiichi would play the trick to pay back the policy. He returned the rights of the Shogunate to the Emperor Meiji in exchange for his status and rights in the new government. His trick that was born afterwards was indeed powerful.

Not only did Okubo pass and Xixiang Longsheng no longer be able to use the excuse to carry out a palace coup, but also successfully divided the power of the fall-back faction. After the return of the big government, Tokugawa Keiji ’s comment began to change, and he said good things to him and hoped that he would join the new government. More and more, while Oku Polytong and Xixiang Longsheng have become more and more isolated.

In the end, the troop transfer to Beijing was actually a last resort after being forced into despair. With the strength of the Satsuma clan at that time, there was no advantage to the shogunate side, but in the end, Xixiang Longsheng won three times the shogunate army. The battle of Toba Fushimi that determines the direction of the times, of course, these are the last words.

Compared with history, now Takasugi's Jin Zuo is still alive or jumping around, it will undoubtedly be a big variable, but although he came to Kyoto with a strong body, he talked in front of everyone ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Maybe I can hide The samurai of the two ancestors in the tea house, but the observational power that Zhang Heng exercised through the deductive copy still made him see that Takasugi Jinsaku did not have many days, and his face was full of death.

This is probably why he can't wait to start something big, because he wants to see with his own eyes the new era he created.

But before that, he still needs to negotiate the current business with Gabriel.

French businessmen have a big appetite and are not only satisfied with 12,000 gold. However, Takasugi also has his own bottom line. Although some people in the fall scene also advocate learning from the West, at the same time, many people are also watching for Westerners to intervene in their country. Things like Xixiang Longsheng.

The Kanagawa treaty made the shogunate lose its popularity in the public. This lesson is still vivid. The new regime obviously cannot repeat the same mistake. Therefore, according to the consensus reached by Takasugi and his group, Gabriel can ask for money, but it can only be Money, if he still wants something else, the downside faction can only find another way, even if he has to postpone the downside.

Negotiations entered into a tug-of-war. In order to prevent communication obstacles due to language differences, both sides brought translations to convey their meanings as much as possible. At the same time, they can correct the translation errors of the other party and ensure that their true intentions are known to the other party.

However, Zhang Heng's thoughts were not in this business talk. He has been thinking about how to get the number of beads in the middle of Hanjiro Nakamura, and the most important thing is how to get out of this flower street alive.

Since the person who came here tonight is Takasugi Shinsaku, it is obviously impossible for the downside party to let his half-employed temporary translator leave the tea house alive.

Once the two parties have negotiated a good business and reached a consensus, his value will be gone.
