78. Let's talk about equality today
Tufangsan did not pay attention to the morality of the International Red Cross rescue. Two injured American soldiers, one by one, cut them directly, otherwise how could they have killed and injured more than 30 brothers?
Fortunately, because he knew very clearly that he was about to become a samurai, he did not kill the head of the nameless. In the Japanese samurai culture, those who could be taken off their heads and then conduct the actual inspection were all famous and surnamed warriors. These American soldiers were considered hammered samurai, and were only worthy of being dragged to receive rewards with all their flesh.
The nearby farmers originally thought that the American soldiers were tall and big, and they were very scary. When they saw that they were also a croaker that could be killed by one knife. So they used one of the most proficient skills of Japanese farmers.
The fallen warrior hunts!
Good guy, they knocked down two lonely American soldiers again, and they put them on their hoes and sickles together, leaving only one human figure. As for head and face, it would be fine if you don't mention it.
The US military killed by the ox cart was sent to Sumida River camp. Tadaemon did not hesitate to reward him. The promised thirty taels, that is, thirty taels, were verified on site and distributed on site. After seeing that the people exerted their subjective initiative, they immediately rewarded thirty taels of gold. At the same time, documents were issued, and the annual tribute of the whole village was reduced by 10%.
When fighting, you can do everything you can. Just win. If you lose, you will lose everything. Only by winning can you talk about it. As long as you can kill the enemy, what is the point of a little money?
Tadaemon also ordered a thirty tael of pension for those disciples who died in the battle. It was either to buy people's hearts, but simply to motivate the army to kill the enemy. If you win, you will be rewarded, and if you lose, you will be given a pension. If you kill too many people, you will be able to directly pull into the family of the Tadaomoto family, and will be replaced by the iron-core crops.
Tadaoemon ordered the body of the dead US soldier to be sent to the other side. In June, the weather was humid and hot, so it would be impossible to see this thing in two days, so I hurried to the US military camp to finish it. There was no need to cut my head and send it to the Nihon Bridge for three days to inspire the Edo soldiers to resist.
"Who got the enemy chief?"
Tadaoemon also knew that Prepur's identity was not low when he looked at his military uniform, but he really couldn't know who this person was for a while. The identity nameplate system of the US military will not begin to appear until the Civil War when millions of troops were mobilized on a large scale.
"It was Sojiro who won it!" Of course, Yuki Kondo and Shizumi Toshiba would not swallow up other people's attacks.
"Good boy, this thing is given to you." When Tadaoemon saw that he was a teenager with a thin figure but a handsome appearance, he killed Prepur.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Okita Sojiro took the small sword marked on it, which was marked on the top of Tokugawa Miyazai Aoi. This sword was given to Tadaoemon by Tokugawa's family, and now it is considered a treasure sword to be given to heroes, and it is not a shame.
"I'm the same age as three, Katsugoro will study and serve the shogunate!" The military affairs were busy, Tadaoemon tried hard and turned to arrange the return of the body of the US military.
The two small boats shook all the way to the other side. When they heard the reports of the soldiers who had returned from defeat, Perry had a bad premonition in his heart. When he saw Prepur's body, Perry almost burst into tears.
For the Japanese, Prepur was the murderer who killed Eilong, and the foreign enemy he invaded. For Perry, Prepur was his good subordinate and the soldier he brought out.
There was no way. Looking at the remains, Perry ordered to collect fuel quickly, cremate them, ashes, etc., and take them back to the United States and return them to their family.
Just when Perry was shaken and was considering what to do next, after learning that the US military's surprise attack team was finished and the shogunate army was firmly guarding the Sumida River defense line, Bashali came to the camp by the US military's seaside.
In addition to expressing his grief for the death of his "friendly army", he also took the opportunity to mention Perry. Anyway, with this few people at present, it is impossible to overthrow the shogunate. It is better for the British to come forward and reach a treaty with the shogunate that the Americans can accept and even be satisfied.
In order to prompt Perry to make up his mind, Bashali also hinted that Japan was about to enter the plum rainy season, and then it would be a continuous rainy season that lasted for half a month and a month, and it would be impossible to fight. At that time, the supply was exhausted and the food could be recruited on the spot. What about the ammunition? What about the clothing? It was not guaranteed that even clean drinking water would be difficult to obtain.
A little threatened Perry, and Bashali said that he had an old acquaintance in the shogunate with the British Empire. McDonald, a professor at Edo University, was a standard British aristocratic family. He was very humane in the shogunate and could turn around.
Only the British show their power and reason will surely succeed!
Although Perry is not at a loss yet, Bashali's opinion touched him. Even though he knows that the British may not have had any kind intentions, the treaty is signed and whether they are signed or not. No matter how good the British are, it is useless.
There is no new combat plan at the moment, so why not invite Bashari and the shogunate meeting. If the conditions are acceptable, it will not be in vain if you sign it. If you fail to meet the initial expectations, you can slowly expand the invasion later.
The shogunate is the same as a human being. As long as you kneel down for the first time, it will be easier to kneel behind you and you will not be able to get up...
Even if the negotiation is not completed in the end, it is possible that Perry will come up with a new combat plan that can defeat the shogunate army. Anyway, the US military has a great advantage in the navy, and can move forward and retreat freely, and take the initiative in the war.
At this point, Perry agreed, but there were several bottom lines, Perry still had to explain it clearly. Including the free entry and exit of Ryukyu, the opening of a port in Nagasaki, Edo and the Eki, directly dispatching envoys in Edo, setting up import and export trade tax authorities with clear rules and regulations, and Americans must participate, etc., all of which cannot be given up.
After hearing this condition, Bashari felt that it was not much different and could deal with the shogunate, so he agreed. When Bashari returned to Shinagawa, Katsuki and McDonald, who had been waiting in the camp, were a little anxious.
When the two heard that the United States was willing to talk, they were naturally very happy and crossed the river and rushed to Edo. One of them went to inform the shogunate Prime Minister Keinaga Matsuhei, and the other went to inform Tadaemon on the edge of Sumida River.
The old evil person on the surface, but in fact, Matsuhei Keinaga, who has been sitting firmly in Edo Castle, pretends to be like an English-meter ghost but Err, making it look like I haven't exerted my strength yet, why did you fall down?
If he had been so fierce and cowardly in the past, he could have fooled a few people. Now the British and American Allied Forces had already reached the doorstep of his home, and everyone would have seen his performance. Now that he still believes in him, he would have been really stupid.
Tadaoemon, who learned the news, breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest was to negotiate a normal contract.
Chapter completed!
