Soon, news began to spread in Edo that the castle was going to recruit new gun teams. It is said that after Mizuno Tadahiro cut off those unusable personnel, he would use loyal and brave new recruits to replace them.

However, except for a few people who know the inside story, most people think that this matter is probably a smoke bomb. Because this is not the first time Tadukuni Mizuno has released the news. During the last reform, he said that he would personally inspect the Confucian scholars of the Changhei Saka Institute and the civil and military methods of the Muqin Mo family.

He even promoted a member of the Imperial family with both talent and ability to be named the Imperial surname, but that's it. The entire shogunate official system still appoints personnel who are consistent with their family backgrounds according to the inertia of more than 200 years. The main reference for the position is knowledge and action rather than talent. Can you, Tadahiro Mizuno manage it for a day, but can you manage it for a lifetime?

So everyone just listened to it and didn't take it seriously...

So Suzuru ran over and asked Chuanyoumon if there were any signs of this matter. If so, he would have some familiar Tongxin, and he had second and third brothers in his family, and wanted to see if he could get it in. It would be a job, even if it was not a golden rice bowl that was hereditary, it would be better than going out to make a living.

Tadaoemon was not very sure about the matter of the teaching team, but he felt that this might be an important step for Tadakumi Mizuno to continue reform and reform, so Kazusuke Ruo also gave a little whisper.

A few days later, the shogunate finally issued an order. Anyone who served the Imperial family members who served the Tokugawa clan before the Five Dynasties, between the ages of fourteen and nineteen and above and above five feet and two inches (one meter five seven), was allowed to respond.

This shogunate has set up a new training team, with 500 rifle teams and 100 artillery teams. The annual salary is 15 taels of gold and one person supports rice. The treatment is quite generous and the conditions are not harsh.

What do the Yu family think?

They didn't think much about it. Because of their humble family, few people have been able to become officials for two hundred years. Now they suddenly say that they only select gunners from the children of the Yu family, which made them hesitate. In addition, the treatment is really good, and some people speculate whether there is any problem here.

Then even bigger rumors spread, saying that the soldiers were recruited, but in fact they were to deal with the possible foreign troops in the future. These people would be sent to block the gun holes on foreign soldiers' ships!

The rumor is that it has a nose and eyes. It even says that the American military ship that had just finished firing the cannon not long ago will come again in two years. Now recruiting the children of the Imperial family is the shogunate, and there is no cannon fodder anymore. I plan to send a wave, and whoever goes there will be stupid.

Good guy, this rumor made Tadaoemon a little stunned for a moment. It made some sense. If Tadaoemon hadn't known the cause and effect here, he would have believed it if he hadn't been able to do so.

Even Suzuru, who had come to inquire with Tadaoemon, was a little confused. At first, there were second and third brothers at home, and they were all thinking about finding a way out for the extra children. It was obvious that the size of this thing was a good way out, but why did such strange rumors spread? Only a few hundred people really want to block the holes of the gun, and he could block them even if he could?

"Tell me what happened?" The restoration of work helper took a break this month, so he had time to run back and forth.

"To put it bluntly, Hamamatsu Hou wanted to pull a group of people and beat a group of people..." Tadaoemon picked up a big plum and ate it, which was very sweet.

"Use the newly-organized soldiers of the Imperial Family to enter the city as guards, gain their support, and then weaken the power of the old soldiers of the flag-born?" As soon as the help is at one point.

That's not the case. Tadakura Mizuno's idea is very good. Although the Omi family members have a salary on Weibo, they are also the Nao ministers of Tokugawa's Kei and the backbone of the shogunate. If they can be kind to the Omi family and then gain the support of the Omi family, then Tadakura Mizuno's subsequent governance will not be opposed by a bunch of people.

Moreover, with the support of the Imperial family, even if the flag owners give up, some people can make up for the position. This means reforming the few foreign names in the southwest, to promote the capable and talented people among the lower vassals, gain their support, to defeat the mediocre upper-class samurai, strengthen the authority of the monarch, and then promote reform.

In theory, Tadakumi Mizuno's idea is correct, but it is impossible to resist the shogunate ship, so it is difficult to turn around, and the bait thrown out is too small. The 23,000 family members and only 600 positions are there. The difference in proportion is too big, and it doesn't look like that.

"Look for some proper personnel and ask everywhere, where did the rumors of blocking the gun hole spread?" Tadaoemon felt that the rumors did not seem to be for nothing.

"I asked, it was spread everywhere, it really doesn't seem like someone who is interested deliberately." Suzuruo shook his head.

"Yeah? That's strange..."

Perhaps they have not experienced it or perhaps they have thought it was too simple, neither Tadaemon nor Suzuru could understand a certain "feeling" or a certain "ethics".

Originally, everyone was poor, it was very good, but it was poor. There were 20,300 families and more than 100,000 people were poor, which was great. Now there may be 600 people who are going to get better and their lives are going to be around. Although I don’t know who these 600 people are, as long as they are not me, I can’t stand it.

So we can't let those six hundred people live a good life. I have to mess up this matter. It's time for everyone to suffer poverty. Why can there be six hundred people live a good life?

Tadaemon and Suzuru, who couldn't understand this truth, were naturally puzzled. The historical training team hired French instructors to come for training, so there were only more than 500 people in the first period, so they needed to learn French first. With the expanded army, there were only more than 1,000 people.

Originally, they said they wanted to select young talents from the children of the Hamamoto Imperial family, but the result was completely beyond the expectations of all the shogunate masters. The poor Imperial family members who could not even afford to eat were unwilling to come out to serve the recruitment team with an annual salary of 20 taels of gold. The recruitment activities were cold.

In the end, the number of people was very short, so they could only recruit the floating people in the city to make up their numbers. Many people took their families with their families, and their wives and children lived outside the camp. They were all "ill" and were lazy and bad. The French instructors cursed when they saw it. They were not active during training, and they were all very quick when eating.

After teaching for several months, I knew nothing except for knowing the rifle in front of me. I didn’t even learn the volleys that were relatively outdated. The only cavalrymen just learned to ride horses and could not fight cavalry at all.
