Bashari's notes came very quickly. After briefly narrating the friendship between Britain and Japan, Bashari informed the shogunate that if necessary, the shogunate would have to help the British send troops again.

Because the Russian army approached Tashkent in large numbers, the British's main military forces in Asia had to be transferred to the front lines of Afghanistan and Persia to ensure the safety of these two actual British protectors. Therefore, in the Far East, the Tokugawa Shogunate, as a horseman, had to pay a "blood tax" to the British elder brother.

As Hashkovic said, the British sent three warships led by the Pegasus to occupy Juwen Island, and went directly to the island to raise the British flag, began to store coal, and build a fort.

At the same time, the Lee Dynasty of North Korea itself had no diplomacy, so the British entrusted the Qing court, which had substantial diplomacy with North Korea, and the Tokugawa Shogunate, to submit a diplomatic note to the Lee Dynasty.

It stated that the British Empire would rent Juwen Island for 5,000 pounds of cash.

At this time, the Li Dynasty reigned was Li Bing, the king of Zhezong who had almost no real power. This brother succeeded to the throne, and his father was Li, the king of Quanxi Dayuan. It is said that before he succeeded to the throne, he only read half of the "Thousand Characters" and had no ability to govern the country.

In fact, the real power of the Li Dynasty was controlled by the Zhao family of Fengrong, headed by the Queen of the Great Princess Shenzhen, and the Anton Jin family of Queen of the Great Princess Chunyuan, headed by the Queen of the Great Princess Chunyuan. Even if he wanted to make a difference, it was almost impossible for him to do something.

Suddenly, when the Qing envoy and Japanese envoys received news that the British had leased Juwen Island, the incompetent king immediately panicked. The ministers under him were arguing and could not get any results.

What should I do about it?

Our Tadaoemon has always been a big deal. Edo is raining in time, and Kanto Hobo Yoshi. After Bashari sent the note, Tadaoemon discussed with Bashari himself.

Needless to say, Bashali was also determined to make achievements in the Far East. His predecessor, Earl Erkin, has now become the governor of India, and Alcock has become the governor of the Straits. All of his successful precedents have inspired him.

When Chuanyoumon suggested that Britain simply rent Juman Island, and at the same time forced North Korea to find a country and signed a treaty to ensure its "independence" with North Korea, Bashali agreed without any surprise.

This matter does not harm the United Kingdom. One of the responsibilities of Basha Lilly Japan is to contact the Tokugawa shogunate and suppress the development of Tsarist Russia. Now that North Korea is likely to fall into the hands of Tsarist Russia, how could the British Empire not take action first?

Today, we will first use international public law to ensure the independence of the Lee Dynasty in North Korea, and there will be more room for operation in the future.

The Qing Dynasty did not have to pay too much attention. If it was a little scared, the Qing court would immediately give up the vassal state of North Korea. He could even sell the Longxing land in his hometown, so what could he not sell it? After winning the Sino-French war, he even sold Annan, just a North Korea, right?

Now it depends on North Korea itself...

The mission, which was under the jurisdiction of the Korean State Francisco, was the correspondent of Mazhou County Governor Zong Yihe, soon appeared in Jianghua, and was escorted to Hanyang by officials of the Li Dynasty.

So Yoshihiro just borrowed his name, but the person in charge of the mission was Fukuzawa Yukiki who followed him and Mai Huatuo, the secretary of the British Embassy. The two needed to explain the international trend to King Li in order to enable King Li to open the country's door.

When he learned that the shogunate communication mission arrived, King Li grabbed the life-saving straw. Because North Korea and Japan have always had trade and exchanges, he roughly knew the situation in Japan. He knew that Japan had opened its doors and started reforms. He also knew that Japan and Britain seemed to have cooperated, but the deeper situation was not known.

After all, when Tadaoemon succeeded to the throne, he did not notify King Li!

If King Li was notified, King Li would definitely send a communication envoy to congratulate Tadaoemon. However, no one reminded Tadaoemon at the beginning, and it would take hundreds of thousands of taels to receive the North Korean communication mission. I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why no one told Tadaoemon.

Without further ado, the communist delegation went to the palace to pay homage to King Li, and then held a simple reception and feast, and then a separate conversation. Zong Yi and the Bodhisattva who was like a wooden clay sculpture sat there. Mai Huatuo knew a little Chinese, but he was not good at speaking, so he talked with King Li, who was familiar with Chinese, and several ministers Zhao Jin around King Li.

He didn't know if he asked, but he was shocked when he asked. After learning that the Big Nose Tartars had attacked the Tumen River and had demarcated a border with the Qing Dynasty, North Korea was under the military front of the Big Nose Tartars, both King and Minister Li were shocked.

What a big nose Tartar, how can a person with red hair and ghosts fight against the enemy?

The Qing Dynasty, the Supreme State of the Celestial Kingdom, has already said that this matter is a state affairs of North Korea and will be resolved by North Korea itself, and the Qing Dynasty cannot control it. And the Big Nose Tartars have arrived, please ask the shogunate correspondent to teach me quickly.

Fukuzawa Yukiki half of his ideas, saying that Britain did not have any land requirements for North Korea, and only needed to rent Juwen Island. North Korea could sign a contract for founding with Britain first. If the Russians came, Britain would immediately send troops to defend King Li's rule.

The Tokugawa shogunate was willing to serve as a guarantee to ensure the sincerity of the British.

Although the Tokugawa shogunate was not very honest in the Lee Dynasty, the Tokugawa family was theoretically kind to King Lee. Who told Tokugawa Ieyasu to destroy the Tokugawa family and kill Tokugyu Hiderai? This alone gave a big bonus to King Lee's side.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a big thief on the side of the Li Dynasty, and he was an unforgivable thief in the throne. The monarch and ministers of the Li Dynasty were obliged to kill him Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Tokugawa Ieyasu was considered to avenge the monarch and ministers of the Li Dynasty, and King Li should thank him.

In short, the British envoy is here today. Mai Huatuo knows a little Chinese and can write some simple sentences directly. He also said that Fukuzawa Yukichi said it is a fact that Britain has no territorial requirements for North Korea, but just hopes to rent the Giant Island to curb the development of Tsarist Russia.

Once peace comes, it will be returned to Juwen Island!

Moreover, Britain was willing to give Li Dynasty a certain amount of loans to assist King Li in establishing a new army to resist the aggressive Tsarist Russian forces.

Of course, King Li could not make a decision immediately after such a big event. After listening to the mission's advice, he summoned his ministers to discuss.
