After Tangning arrived in Japan, he did not rush to leave. The Big Oriental City became an Edo Museum. Edo people came to visit for free every day. Even the actual shogunate rulers, Masahiro Abe and Naochi Ii, who were not named the first to the old and middle-aged, had a real and authoritative shogunate. They visited here. With such a great opportunity, of course, it would attract a large number of tourists.

Abe and Ii have been discussing with the vassal lords these days how to send a mission to Europe. Their two vassals are definitely the focus. Of course, the nominal vassal where Masamu Hirota, who is also the founding faction, is also included.

These three vassal states were all founding factions, and among the expelling factions, there were also enlightened vassal states who "learned the skills of the barbarians". There were four main ones: Matsuhira Harugao (originally advocated strengthening the coastal defense to expel the barbarians, but after communicating with Hiromasato Abe, he believed that foreigners were too strong and it would be difficult not to be good students first. Now he has gradually moved closer to the founding faction), Ida Sogo (they were the center of colonization and industry during the era of the vassal states, reformed the vassal states, and implemented the monopoly of wood wax and investigation of carboniferous mineral resources. At the same time, he protected Takano Nagahei, who was wanted by the shogunate, recruited talents from the chashu clan Murata Takaroku, and started the modernization of the Yuwashima clan military system. The chashu clan is the core of Japan's current advocate of learning from foreigners to see the world.), Yamatodo (continuously recommended)

Mobilize Western armaments, strengthen coastal defense, and financial reforms, and send vassals to study in Nagasaki, and reform the identity system and reward academic measures to promote vassal political reforms. It is quite politically decisive. However, he also claims to be "Whale Sea Drunken Marquis", which gives people this impression. After drinking, his opinions will change frequently.), Shimazu Shinzu Kitami (the Satsuma tribe of this vassal lord is the farthest from the political center Edo, Japan is divided into three major islands, Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu. Edo is located in the center of Honshu, while Kyushu is at the southern end, separated from Honshu, and the Satsuma tribe is located at the southwest end of Kyushu, which is far away, so the Satsuma tribe has always been quite independent and dares to do all kinds of things that are inconsistent with the shogunate.)

With a cannon in the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty, which has always been regarded as the boss by Japan, was beaten by foreigners. Japan was shocked. The Qing Dynasty was busy covering up its beating and continued to regard itself as a country of heaven. The Japanese majesties were the first to seek reform and strengthen themselves. Among them, the four feudals mentioned above were relatively successful in the reform, and they felt it was amazing because of a little success and they were clamoring to expel the barbarians.

The shogunate was also extremely reluctant to establish the country. The general of the Shogunate (the official name of the shogunate, the large number established when he conquered Japan's Hokkien Kingdom) had the ability to self-determination, but when Perry arrived in 1853, he delayed it for a year on the grounds that "the emperor's consent was required."

This excuse gave the Emperor a good excuse for the rise of the Emperor later. When the various vassals saw it, it seemed that the Emperor, the "empty head of state" who had been uninvolved for hundreds of years, had such strong theoretical appeal and gathered under the Emperor. Now Tokugawa Qiaki is the leader of the barbarians. His wife is the sister of the royal family Prince Chiren. However, Tokugawa Qiaki's political status is actually higher than that of the royal family that had been poor for hundreds of years.

There are six vassal lords who are candidates for the General of the Conquest of Yi, known as the "Mi Sanjia" and the "Mi Sanjia". The Mi Sanjia is an early heir family with the highest status and independent fiefdoms. The Mi Sanjia's fiefdoms are managed by the shogunate, with a standard of 100,000 dan. However, it is precisely because the Mi Sanjia does not need to manage the fiefdoms themselves, which makes them work hard to engage in politics and conspiracy in Edo. In fact, the Mi Sanjia's three families are more likely to win. Tokugawa Shiaki of the Ichihashi family, one of the three families, plans to let his son inherit the current Mi Sanjia's general Tokugawa Idea (no children).

These days, the first Masamoto of the old Chinese, Horita, officially made a plan with the ministers of the Masamoto Pavilion, and the officials recommended the personnel to go to Europe for inspection. The shogunate will finally be approved by the shogunate, with a total of 50 people. About half of the founding factions and the expelling factions each accounted for half. During the Great Oriental period, according to the foreign regulations, everyone was equal. Civilians did not need to kneel down to pay tribute to high-ranking nobles, and of course, they were not allowed to bring swords. The cost of the inspection was paid by each vassal and Tangning, and Tangning would advance it first and settle it after they came back. However, all the benefited vassals must be allowed to Tang.

Ning's telegraph company has entered the public business (NiNet Telegraph Company). At present, only Nagasaki is open business, and there are secretly operated sites in Edo and Osaka. Not many people know about it. Yamamoto's friend Fukuzawa Yukiki knew how to find the telegraph company in Edo because he stayed in Nagasaki. Telegraph is a good thing, but Tangning's request is not too much? Even if he doesn't start a country, it's good to open a telegraph company. The Japanese's open attitude towards Lan Xue determines that they are not opposed to telegraphs.

The Great Oriental Museum in Downing was opened in Edo for several months, and the 50 inspectors finally decided, including Murata Takaro (a professor of Western Military Studies at the Martial Arts Institute) sent by Ida Sogo (a professor of Western Military Studies at the Martial Arts Institute), Yoshida Toyo (a reformer of the Fantasy), and his two disciples Goto Yoshiro, and Iwasaki Yataro (a later founder of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu).

Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu influenced by his great-grandfather, the 8th Satsumazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu since childhood, and loved Western products widely collected by his great-grandfather, such as bells, musical instruments, telescopes, microscopes and weapons. He was familiar with Latin and had invented a set of personal passwords by using Japanese to convert Roman characters. Shimazu Shimazu also introduced Qi Bin to

Knowing the famous Japanese naturalist, the German-born Randian Philip Franz Van Sibold, made Qi Bin one of the few Japanese who had personally come into contact with Westerners. However, this so-called "Redian" that was exactly the same as his great-grandfather also made the financial stable in the vassal state quite suspicious, because the research related to orchid science and the establishment of modern military industry would cost a lot of money. Shimazu Shigehao's style of spending money once put the Satsuma vassal on the verge of bankruptcy, with the total debt of the vassal to be as high as 5 million taels.

Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu was a man who did not do anything to reform. He lived in Edo for a long time, became an ally with Masahiro Abe, and obtained the position of vassal lord. China's defeat in the Opium War, which shocked Qi Bin. Therefore, when he first took office, he immediately began to actively introduce Western industrial technology, "crossing industries and starting businesses", enriching the country and strengthening the army, and starting the construction of Japan's first modern Western-style factory group with the Kagoshima region as the center, which involved shipbuilding and smelting (reflection).

The construction of furnaces, molten furnaces), textiles, military industries (cannons, mines, mines), glass manufacturing, etc. are collectively known as the "integrated museum business". Western colonialism also learned quickly and sent Xixiang Longsheng to secretly survey Taiwan Island a few years ago. When landing in Keelung, it was discovered that there were Qing soldiers guarding it. The Qing court implemented a sea ban and moved islanders to Fujian. It was amazing that there were guards in Taiwan. Perhaps the Qing court was also afraid that this large area of ​​territory would be detrimental to foreigners.

The Changshu family was full of talents, and the most eye-catching person was Yoshida Songyin. No one had a stronger desire to go abroad than Yoshida Songyin. As early as 1853, he wanted to board the Russian warship anchored in Nagasaki and went abroad, regardless of whether he knew foreign languages ​​or not. However, the Russian warship left early due to the Crimean War, and Yoshida Songyin failed to do so.

In 1854, Perry came back to Japan because he heard Japan's reply to the founding of the country. Songyin took the opportunity to start a trip abroad with Shimoko Shigesuke, who also belonged to the Choshu family. The two took a boat from the shore of Kashizaki Village near Shimoda, near the southern end of the Izu Peninsula toward the American fleet moored on the sea across Shimoda, hoping that Perry allowed the two to return to the United States with the ship to gain Western learning. Given that the brigade general Peri had just signed a Japan-US marriage treaty with the Tokugawa shogunate on March 3, he did not want to involve himself in the diplomatic dispute with Japan and assist the Japanese in smuggling abroad, he refused to politely request the two, but promised to keep the secret for them and then sent them back to the shore.

But afterwards, the two of Songyin and the others chose to surrender themselves to the shogunate who was stationed in Shimoda immediately, which shows that he advocated openness and integrity and had a character of being a slut. In April, they were escorted from Shimoda to Edo, and in October, they were taken back to their original hometown of Shimosa to serve their sentences. Songyin was imprisoned in Noyama Prison where samurai was imprisoned. However, because of Songyin's excellent knowledge, the shogunate and the vassal lord allowed him to give lectures in prison, which provided him with the founding and downsizing. Jinko Shigesuke, who accompanied Songyin, was imprisoned in Iwakura Prison used by civilians because of his low status, and finally died of illness in the next month of the following year.

Because he was a crime, Songyin himself could not take the Odougao on behalf of the Changzhou vassal. However, Kobayashi Takasaburo, who was jointly called the second tiger by his mentor Sakuma Xiangshan and Songyin (the nickname of Songyin also has the opportunity. Songyin's students Katsukoro and Takasugi Shinsaku also joined the team in Changzhou.

Japanese people like to change their names. This Kanekogoro was later Koto Takayun Kido. Tangning didn't know much about Japan's history, but the three Meiji Restoration masters still knew it. He looked at the list of European inspections in his hand with emotion. Takayun Kido, Takamori Saigo and Okupo Rito all boarded his ship. Alas, if he had a grudge against the Japanese, throwing these 50 people into the Pacific Ocean to feed sharks, the Japanese Restoration would be at least fifty years later. This is the same as the Soviet Union killed all the Polish elites in the Katine Massacre and made Poland unable to recover from then on. However, this is the same as the unconfident Duke of the Dutch massacre of Chinese in Indonesia. The confident Grand Duke Windsor was disdainful to do such things.

The 50 people from the Japanese inspection team were confirmed. Tang Ning also sent an invitation to the Qing Dynasty through the Chinese version of the Telegraph, and directly asked the Reuters network to send invitations directly. However, the number of influential people in the Qing Dynasty that could have in the war was unwilling to travel to Europe, which was not something he could control.

To be honest, Tang Ning was not familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty. He was a fan of science history. The Qing Dynasty had no science at all. He only knew a few people. In the Japanese delegation, he only knew three heroes, and all three heroes came to the Dadongfang. However, when the Dadongfang returned to Shanghai and stayed for a few months, there was only one person he noticed a little - Zeng Jize, the son of Zeng Guofan, was 17 years old. The young man witnessed the deterioration of the Qing Dynasty and decided to abandon the imperial examination career and study abroad!

The young man not only dared to go to Europe, but also dared to use his real name. The son of the Minister of War, and the son of the leader of the Hunan Army, who fought against the Taiping Army. Tang Ning suddenly felt good about Zeng Guofan. This famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty was really visionary.

However, compared with the 50 Japanese people who were eager to try and were full of vitality, our great Qing Dynasty country finally got only more than 30 people, and Zeng Jize occupied 5 masters and servants. Many other officials sent many people, and they were probably fake. In addition, the Taiping Army is now arrogant. Jierhanga, who has won a great victory in Zhenjiang with the power of the Dadongfang, was defeated by Li Xiucheng and Qin Rigang, who was advancing eastward, and lost Zhenjiang again. In May, Yangzhou was occupied by the Taiping Army, and Jiangbei Camp, one of the two camps used by the Qing army to surround Tianjing, was conquered. On June 1, Qin Rigang's troops surrounded the Qing army in Yandun Mountain. Jierhanga escaped and committed suicide. Now, even if Qi Taiyu borrowed three thousand urban management, he could not avenge his revenge. The Qi brothers seemed to have lost the motivation of life.

Compared with Japan, the Qing Dynasty was obviously cunning and cunning. Japan was clearly divided into founding factions and expelling the barbarians. In other words, they advocated that the founding ministers were at least sincere. The Qing Dynasty believed that the Treaty of Nanjing was just a delaying strategy. The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ye Mingchen understood the thoughts of Emperor Xianfeng. During his time as the governor of Guangdong, he mobilized the masses in Guangzhou to prevent the British from entering Guangzhou City, killing a foreigner to reward silver. This was obviously a breach of contract. Ye Mingchen even received the Baron's commendation. In short, the matter of opening up Guangzhou stipulated in the Nanjing Treaty was delayed for more than ten years from the signing of the treaty to 1856, but the British still could not enter Guangzhou City.

The current Guangzhou Consul Bashali married a beautiful wife in London not long ago. She was at the verge of being a hero and was preparing to change the incompetent fact that the British could not enter Guangzhou. Ye Mingchen borrowed the hands of the people, and Bashali was also looking for excuses to make trouble for the Qing Dynasty. Now there is no peace in the Qing Dynasty. Bashali kept asking his leader, Hong Kong Governor Baoning, to fight the Qing Dynasty again in order to eliminate all trade barriers.

When the Great Oriental Departure was heading to Hong Kong from Shanghai, Tang Ning took this matter to take the inspection teams of China and Japan and asked them to express their opinions. 60% of the Japanese members believed that Ye Mingchen's approach was problematic, and of course the Qing court's approach was also problematic. Since Ye Mingchen "cannot restrain the people", he should be held accountable and replaced by another official to rule Guangdong. The British are really patient, and it has been more than ten years. Saigo Takamoto and Murata Takaroku said that if they were the British side, they would have fought long ago.

Most of the Chinese members are "extinguished barbarians". Only Zeng Jize said that since they signed the contract, they should abide by the contract. In addition to not meeting the traditions of China and Japan, trading is beneficial to China and Japan's understanding of the world, but he opposed the British religious invasion and the legalization of opium. Not only that, he was quite interested in the separation of powers that Xu Rongcun explained to Chinese members over the past few days. Tang Ning felt that this child's worldview was already quite in line with his expectations. Britain is good, but not Christianity and opium.

Gui Xiaogoro and Zeng Jize have similar views. Although Tang Ning has nothing to say, he finally said: "In the future, this inspection team will be organized by Gui Xiaogoro as the representative of Japan and Zeng Jize as the representative of the Qing Dynasty."
