53. Family celebration is in sight

On the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of miles apart from Japan, the navy and troop transport ships of the United States of America finally arrived at the port of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.

At this time, there was no fierce conflict between the United States and the West. After all, the United States had just defeated Mexico, and the huge forces surrounding the Gulf of Mexico had just begun to build. The conflict between the north and the south of the country was not small, so naturally there was no ambition to occupy Cuba and other places.

It can be considered as maintaining the surface harmony of the great powers.

Perry, who arrived in the Canary Islands, naturally sent someone to notify the UK immediately, and did not need to rush to London. He sent a telegram directly. There was no British consulate on the Canary Islands, but there was one in Lisbon. Just contact London directly in Lisbon.

The UK is quite positive about joining forces with the United States to force the shogunate to start the country. After all, the strength that needs to be mobilized is really insignificant, just a few thousand people. This number of troops is not even a drop in the bucket for Britain, which can mobilize millions of troops from the country, Canada, Australia, and India once the war begins.

So their reply to Perry was that the Mediterranean Fleet would send two steam cruisers as pilot ships for the US Navy to Cape Town, Singapore, Hong Kong and other places. In addition, the British Mediterranean Fleet did not need to send any troops. The British army in the Far East had a missed three melons and two dates, which would be enough for the shogunate to drink a pot.

It was the Russians' request for the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus that the conflict in the Near East was increasingly intensified. Louis Bonaparte of France had sent the Marquis of La Valletti to Constantinople to discuss with the Ottoman Sultan. Yesterday, the Sultan finally surrendered and officially issued an edict to return the protection of the holy land of Jerusalem to France.

It's not big or small news. Perry guessed that there might be another messy debate in Europe. With the character of Britain, the favorite being a messenger, I must do something.

Who knows?

He just asked how many people the British were going to send to Japan. Now the shogunate's defense in Edo Bay and Nagasaki is getting stronger and more advanced, and sending three or five people is useless. The United States alone may not be insulted by the shogunate.

The British personnel who handed over to Perry assured Perry that the British troops stationed in India and Malay would draw at least 2,000 or 3,000 people and a certain number of warships to Japan.

Forget it, plus the people brought by the United States itself can scare people. The United States only sent 50,000 people to attack a huge country like Mexico. For a weak and old feudal small feudal East Asian country like the shogunate, thousands of people are enough.

Although the British are not very capable of selling teammates, it is beneficial to the UK to establish Japan, Perry is sure that Britain will not be dragged on such matters, so he ended the supply in the Canary Islands, drove at full speed, and headed south to Cape Town.

The British troops stationed in India and the Malay army, which had long been informed, each dispatched troops to gather at the front line of Hong Kong, and sent personnel to Ryukyu to hoard coal and other supplies when necessary.

…………………………

"The Great Imperial Office is old and sick..." Seeing that there was no one around, Hong'an of Xufang said it was very straightforward.

Tokugawa Ikegaki is old and sick, and there is actually no good treatment for this situation. His life path has reached its end and he may kick his legs at any time. In the current situation, it is best to just raise it and live for one more day.

If you want to say that there is a Daluo Golden Immortal, who can extend his life for ten years, he may be saved. With the methods of Xufang Hong'an and other doctors, there is nothing to say.

"I can only keep my care for a while?" Although Tadaoemon had some feelings in his heart, he did not show it.

"Oh..." Hong'an Okata didn't answer, but just sighed, and then did not say much to Tadaoemon, and left on his own.

At this point, who can care whether he is rude or not? Tadaoemon originally wanted to chase him and ask if he could drink some ginseng soup or some tonics, and whether he could live a few more days. But when he said that, he still didn't say it. As the Great Imperial Office, Tokugawa Kazuki still had whatever he wanted, so he could worry about Tadaoemon.

The current situation is that Tokugawa Jiaqing's food has been greatly reduced, and he can't eat a bowl of rice in a meal, and he can't even eat some soft and simple food, so many things are hard to swallow.

It’s also a big blame for those imperial chefs. In order to add fragrance to the food, they often add a lot of pine nut powder when making dishes. They may feel good when they eat them, but when they arrive in Tokugawa Kaeki, they will only feel bored.

"Uncle Tsuyama." Turning around, Tadaoemon saw a person who was not often on the castle.

Misaki Tsuyama lord Matsuhei Shimin, also the son of Tokugawa family, is the fifteenth-ranked man. He is an elegant figure, and he doesn't care much about power and is obsessed with education and culture. Therefore, when his relatives compete for the political stage of Edo Castle, this man just entertains himself by poetry and painting.

Even he came, which means that the upper class of the shogunate rule had already had a premonition that Tokugawa's Kiyoshi might be unfavorable. So seeing each other is a gift before leaving.

"It's Tadaoemon." Matsuhei Shimin ran into Tadaoemon at various ceremonies, saying that the "farce" of the day of recognizing the marriage was something that a person would never forget in his life.

"Omiso Masaru is talking to Shimaru, you are here just in time." Tadaoemon hurriedly led the way.

When I looked at Shimaru sitting beside me, my grandparents and grandchildren were in harmony with each other. Shimaru is now very skilled, and I am not unfamiliar with Tokugawa Ka-kei at all. I have a very close relationship with it, which is common every day. The main reason is that when I meet Tokugawa Ka-kei, I will be rewarded, whether it is toys or snacks.

"There is here..." Seeing Matsuhei Qimin, Tokugawa Ikei took the initiative to speak.

When people reach this time, they seem to be particularly eager for family affection. Whether it is children and grandchildren or brothers, it is best to gather in front of them.

"I think the weather is still good today, so I come to see you." Because Matsuhei Qimin had no political pursuits, he was very free and easy, but instead spoke to Tokugawa Ikeki more casually and directly.

In addition, the two of them are brothers, and they are adopted by their families. At this time, there is really nothing to be able to decorate when talking or not.

"It's pretty good." Seeing that the sun was shining today, Tokugawa's family opened the barrier door with a look, and the left and right exposed to warmth and radiance, and even birds were singing.

"Take Shimaru to see the oriole." Perhaps because of something, Tokugawa Ikei gave this instructor.
