102. Qi Xuan escaped and returned to Edo

Matsuhide Qixuan was originally planning to return to the camp to reorganize the troops and come to suppress the riots who broke the official hall. However, Tuya Sui San suggested that he should not take risks with himself. After all, the morale of the troops on Yokohama side was fluctuating. People knew that there was no salary, so if they couldn't guarantee, they would use Matsuhide Qixuan to vent their anger.

Moreover, there were no less than six or seven hundred soldiers attacking the Yokohama Guanting alone, and those who came after hearing the news were probably guaranteed to exceed a thousand.

Now, in Yokohama, there are only more than 3,000 soldiers in total who can carry guns, and there are no more than 4,000 soldiers who can move with minor injuries. Just go to the field camp to mobilize troops, can you suppress thousands of chasing soldiers?

He convinced Song Ping Qixuan in one sentence!

It’s better to go back to Edo quickly. As long as you escape from Yokohama and return to Edo, tens of thousands of soldiers immediately gather in a moment. Only then can you quickly suppress the entire riot in a short period of time and restore order to Yokohama.

But how to go to Edo? It’s getting dark, and there’s a fire outside the Yokohama official hall. It looks messy everywhere, but I don’t know if it’s safe or not. If I encounter a team of Chuanxi, Matsuhira Qie’s face is famous among the soldiers, it will be discovered immediately.

At this time, Shigeru Nara nervously packed up the account books of the store and suggested to the two of them. The terrain of Yokohama is actually a bit like a small peninsula, and it is precisely because of this terrain that it formed a perfect haven here.

Otherwise, the British would like to see this place and think it is good and can be developed. Even Chuoemon also set up a Yokohama shipyard here, which is to take advantage of the convenience of shipping here and the advantage of a natural port.

Yokohama's development is also about this good harbor. Therefore, the residence area and the streets and towns built by the shogunate are all together. On the contrary, the other side of the small peninsula that was opened has not yet been developed.

"It turns out that he is one of the few big businessmen in the world, and he is well versed in the way of cunning rabbits in three holes..." After hearing this, Tukashiro knew what Nara Shigeru meant.

"Yes, Tokugawa Ship is in Honmaki Village, and there is a small boat." Shigeru Nara was still very satisfied.

To be honest, Shigeru Nara is younger than Shiro Matsuhei, and the younger generation among the younger generation. Everyone knows very well how he is in charge of Nara House. When Tadaku Mizuno was strictly reformed and abolished the monopoly of the Edo merchants, he bluntly spoke out against the advice, which made Tadaku Mizuno angry.

Then a case of the theft of the famous Tenchino, which made his father, Shigeru Nara, the previous generation, think that it was Mizuno Tadakuro who framed him and wanted to kill Naraya's family. In horror, in order to protect the family, he hanged him.

After investigation by Tadaoemon and Suzuki, they realized that it was the jealous fishing shop who stole his tea bowl. As a result, the man died, his monopoly power was deprived, and the huge family business of Naraya was almost defeated.

Konara Shigeru was forced to pull Nara House to grow bigger and bigger with his own strength. Now Tokugawa Kaiye has his shares, and Tokugawa Shing is even more in charge of the business.

The entire Japanese business community now says it is "Xihirochi and Higashi Nara". It is true that the two largest stock friends of the shogunate.

Of course, such a smart person has always been prepared to retreat. Even if he encounters a house search, he will have a way to make a comeback. Now he is just hiding a small boat for himself, a small scene.

Well, what else can I say? The shopkeepers carried cash and books on their backs, and left them all to the countryside in the north of the castle. If someone wants to be unfavorable to Matsuhira Qishin, no matter how you think about it, they should look for the pier to the south or the train station to the east. After all, these two places are the easiest to return to Edo.

It doesn’t matter the countryside in the north, it’s not the Warring States Period. When I entered the village, I would immediately have a team of people and military servants in the village. Times have changed, and now I need foreign guns and cannons.

There are many local shops in the Yokohama branch. Although it is dark, they roughly recognize the road. They soon took the group to the fields outside the city. Looking back at Yokohama, they can only see the burning Yokohama official hall and the noise that seems to be there.

Seeing this situation, what else can I say? I will run away!

Thanks to the rapid development of Yokohama over the years, the development around it has been greatly driven. Even in the countryside, because it is a village that communicates with Yokohama, the road is naturally obvious and trampled strongly. If the path of a general village slips under its feet, it will definitely roll into the ditch.

Just ran and stopped and distinguished the direction. A group of people walked until two or three o'clock in the morning before finally rushing to the maki village. The village house recognized the Nara House and heard that they wanted to use a boat, they immediately took people there.

Nara Shigeru told him not to be busy. Although the group fled, he ran all night and didn't eat dinner. He was so hungry that he had already put his chest on his back. If there was anything in the village, he could still get it out and deal with it. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the strength to drive the boat and he would just run away.

Zhuangwu is a refreshing person. He carries a large bag of fried rice and boils water in the pot. When the water starts and soaks the fried rice, you can eat it. If you want to eat sweet things, honey and other good things, you can mix them with food for you. The drink is so scattered, and a large bag of fried rice is almost not enough.

As expected, after being hungry, everything was delicious. Songping Qixuan asked his guards to pay a gold magistrate and rewarded the village house. The village house was very happy and even said that the master would make money every day and his business would be prosperous.

Leading the way by Nazhuangya, everyone finally saw the small steamer placed by Shigeru Nara in the Maki Village. Xiao Guixiao, this boat can be used to transport 20 to 30 tons, and it is not a trivial matter to transport dozens of people.

After raising the fire and burning the boiler, I worked hard for a while. It was still dark, and Matsuhira Qiejun was anxious and urged Shigeru Nara to get off quickly. As an inner bay, Edo Bay has no wind and waves at night, and it is not too difficult to fall off at night.

The small steamer drove out of the harbor in the village with black smoke. The trouble was that it was raining and snowing on the sea, causing the vision to be confused. Although it was only a few dozen kilometers of waterways, everyone dared not be careless.

Hurry up and wait until I saw many fishing boats, and when I saw them, I packed up the catch and went in one direction, Matsuhisaki was relieved. The source of protein in the entire Edo people is the Edo Bay and seafood slightly far away from the sea. At four or five in the morning, the fishing boats had to dock and send the catch to Nipponbashi Market for sale.

There are so many ships rushing in one direction at this time, so that's absolutely no mistake. Getting off the ship is the dock of the Nihon Bridge. When the ship enters Sumida River, the lights of the boat owners are everywhere. The tall Edo Castle Tensou Pavilion appears and disappears in the flying snow.
