48 Hours a Day

Chapter 568: Gion Blood Warfare (II)

Jin Takasu's conversation with Gabriel tonight was truly a big deal.

Just as the clans were still ripping off whether Tokugawa Qingxi Dazheng should be ordered to pay back and be held accountable for some of the mistakes made by the previous shogun, Jinzhou Takasu had decided on the moment that force had collapsed in Kyoto. His main purpose in Kyoto was to meet with Daigu Paulitong and Lungsheng of the Western Township to decide on a plan to collapse the force.

They decided to deceive Tokugawa Kyung-hee from Edo to Kyoto and then use force to detain him directly. However, Tokugawa Kyung-hee himself was wary and suspicious. It was not necessarily possible to guess their intentions. If he had come to Kyoto, he would have been protected by soldiers and horses at all times. Moreover, the power of the Kyoto Shogun side would have been strong. In addition to the people and horses of the three Kingdoms, there were also new groups of nomads, such as the Chosen Group and the Meetup Group.

And if Changzhou or Samoan soldiers enter the capital, Tokugawa Kyung-hee will surely realize that it will probably turn into a nationwide war.

This is not what Jin Takasu and Daiku Paulitong wanted to see, but the two hoped to be able to achieve a change of power through a small-scale coup d 'état at the palace, best to preserve Japan's energy to the maximum, which would require more personnel and send these people to Kyoto in secret.

Ultimately, they placed their hopes on Gabriel, a French businessman.

As long ago as the Changzhou Clan reform force, Jinzhou Gao had had contact and cooperation with Gabrielle. He knew that the latter had a wide route, not only in the cotton yarn, iron cannon, and fire rope gun business. Even Jinzhou Gao was led by Gabrielle in purchasing the new battleship, Vincenne Maru, and with his French identity, few people dared to check his freighter.

Jinzhou Takasu hopes to be able to secretly order a shipment of weapons from Gabriel under cover of a cotton yarn freighter to Kyoto, while a samurai squad of 300 men will also be transported to Kyoto through this channel as a clandestine weapon against Kyung-hee Tokugawa, for which Samoa and the Changzhou clans are willing to pay a high price of 10,000 taels of gold.

However, Gabriel did not immediately agree to the news.

Merchants are natural, no matter where the country, not to mention Gabrielle and the greediest businessman, whose business over the years in Japan has filled him with money, but that is why he has had to carefully consider the deal offered by Jinzhou Takasu.

Gabriel, like other Western businessmen, watched the civil war in Japan in silence, but in addition to the previous outcry for his own safety, the Anglo-Fahoese United Fleet retaliated by attacking him, foreigners tried not to participate in the civil war in Japan.

Like the Second Longevity War of the Shogun was defeated by Gaoshan Jin, Western countries are only watching from beginning to end, because at present, both the Shogun and the Overthrow have the possibility of a final victory. The Overthrow had a history of assassinating Westerners before, but now advocates the founding of the country, while the Shogun led by Tetsugawa Kyung-hee has cooperated with the West before, but now tends to keep the country locked up, so now the Western countries have little clear position to support which side.

The risk of political investment is high, and if it fails, it will be hostile to the next ruler, but on the other hand, political investment is also the most lucrative investment, and Gabrielle has not responded to the request made by Jin Takashi, but has not explicitly refused it.

This is actually a clear statement of attitude that requires Jin Takasu to add more weight.

All of the samurai present spoke in their hearts of Gabrielle's greed, but now that the initiative is in the hands of the French businessman, he nods his head, and Changzhou and Samoa cannot bring in their troops, and the fall of the armed forces cannot continue.

…………

Zhang Heng was actually a little surprised.

Historically, Big Pawliton and Lungsheng Xixiang were indeed the main forces behind the fall of force, but time was not so fast forward. In fact, if the downfall party delayed for a while, Tetsugawa Celebrated himself would play the trick of returning the power of the Shogun to Emperor Meiji in exchange for his position and rights in the new government. His death and subsequent life was also a powerful trick.

Not only did Daegu Pauliton and Lungsheng West Township no longer have the pretext to carry out the coup d 'état, but they also succeeded in dividing the forces of the overthrow faction. After the return of Daegu's reign, Daegu began to change the wind rating of Tetsugawa Celebration, saying good things for him and hoping that more and more people would join the new government, while Daegu Pauliton and Lungsheng West Township became increasingly isolated.

The eventual redeployment of troops to Beijing was actually a choice that had to be pushed to extinction. At that time, the Samoan army had no advantage over the shogun, but in the end, the West Township Lungsheng faced three times its own shogun army and won the battle of bird feathers, which, of course, was the last word.

Compared to history, Kaoshan Jinjo is now still alive or jumping, it will undoubtedly be a huge variable, but although he came to Kyoto with a strong body and talked in front of everyone, he may be able to hide from the samurai of the two clans in the tea house, but Zhang Heng exercised his observation after a copy of the interpretation method to show him that Kaoshan Jinjo really hasn't done much for a long time, his face is already full of death.

Perhaps that's why he can't wait to start something big, because he wants to see himself create a new era before he swallows.

But in the meantime, he needs to negotiate with Gabrielle about the current business.

French businessmen have a great appetite and are not only satisfied with 10,000 taels of gold. However, Jinzhou Takasu also has his own bottom line, and while some of the downright factions advocate learning from the West, many are also guarding against Western interference in their country's affairs, such as the West Township.

The Kanagawa treaty has discredited the Shogun in the folk. Such a foreplay is still in sight. The new regime obviously cannot repeat itself. Therefore, according to the consensus previously negotiated by Jin Takasu as a group of people, Gabriel needs money to talk, but it can only be money. If he wants something else, the inverter can only think of another way, even if he has to postpone the overthrow.

Negotiations enter the chainsaw battle, in order to prevent communication obstacles due to language differences, both sides bring translations to try to convey their meaning, while also correcting each other's translation errors to ensure that their true intentions are known to each other.

However, Zhang Heng's mind was not in this business meeting. He has been thinking about how to get Hanjiro Nakamura's number of pearls in the waist, and most importantly how to get out of this flower street alive.

Since the person who came here tonight is Jin Takasu, it is obviously impossible for the downright party to let his temporary translator, who was hired halfway out of the teahouse, come alive.

Once the two sides had done business and reached a consensus, his value was gone.
