.Together, things are so hard that things are so hard. Strictly speaking, not all those who think about it have their own food to eat. However, the fundamental purpose of solving some people is at least achieved as the fundamental purpose of dismantling the Anti-State.

With the initial stability of the German shogunate, British advisers also entered their busiest period.

They completely replaced the Dutch and began to practice the shogunate army and navy in the way they were used to, combined with the iron-blooded methods that the Japanese had in mind, to carry out comprehensive, meticulous, harsh, and even cruel practices.

At the same time, they carefully selected a large number of craftable materials, either sent to a military school that Ran and others helped to establish in Japan, or simply sent directly to the British Empire to receive all the necessary education.

Just like the Chinese craze in Dali, in Japan, starting from 1863, the English language style began to appear.

The reason is very simple. For those who have ideals and ambitions who do not understand English, they cannot communicate smoothly with British consultants all over the shogunate bureaucracy system, and they lack the skill of climbing up.

For those ordinary soldiers who make a living in the army, if you don’t understand English, you can’t figure out what the basic commands issued by your company’s commander’s feet are. The rest is only to taste the feeling of kicking big leather boots on your butt every day.

Since English has reached the point where it can be linked to its own practical benefits, a large number of "knowledgeable people" have to start burying their heads all day long, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to sit down calmly and think about anything.

"Jiamao was happy. He had to admire that foreigners are foreigners, and in this world, there is nothing they can't handle.

However, nothing can be absolutely erased. After all, not all the people who come to the temple have a suitable destination, and not all Japanese citizens can enjoy the favors brought by reform and opening up. Therefore, after the initial "stability period", all kinds of bad signs began to be exposed one after another.

The origin of all bad signs seems to be closely related to the increasing size of the "Central Army" of the Shogunate.

Due to various preferential conditions and armed forces belonging to each vassal, that is, the "local miscellaneous army" should be treated a little higher, so the soldiers of the "Central Army" naturally have no worries.

Not only is it not worrying, it is still quite popular. It is common to happen similar to the shogunate setting up a recruiting place in various vassals and being squeezed out of place.

So, the problem arose.

After all, the number of Japanese samurai and ronin is fixed, and as more and more people are rushing to join the ranks of the "Central Army", the local miscellaneous armed forces in each vassal will obviously shrink more and more. This is not counting, those with some abilities in each vassal have been lost to a considerable degree.

So, the clever daimyos and vassal lords of various vassals finally realized a serious problem. If they follow the huge plan proposed by the shogunate to establish a "central army" of millions and continue like this, if they can't use that time, they will be able to be their own army, and they will probably not even be called the title of the mob. Because in the "mob", there is still the word "mass". But by that time, the only ones left will be left alone.

If you do not have your own arms, how can the vassal be called a vassal? And what can you guarantee all the benefits you have?

Therefore, the vassal lords who have always believed in the power of the gun gradually became unhappy.

However, under the design of British experts, not only the shogunate "Central Army" team is expanding increasingly. Weapons and equipment are also being replaced in a group. Especially in the navy, a large number of warship orders were sent to the UK across Haiti.

All of this is money needed. Even if the British, who were loyal ally, gave the shogunate batches of loans considerately, not only did they have to pay back, but they had to use income from tariffs, salt taxes, agricultural taxes, etc. as collateral, and the interest could not be lost.

Since you need money, you have to find a way to make money quickly.

Therefore, over there, the shogunate had just announced that it would reduce the taxes of several farmers, and here, the shogunate elites had to design some new taxes.

No wonder, the shogunate is really a difficult problem for the shogunate. If you don’t search for the tongue, it won’t be possible.

The farmers are so miserable, and it is even more miserable than before they enjoyed tax relief.

This is not over yet.

In fact, long before the "Black Ship Incident", that is, as early as the Tianbao period, that is, around 1840, the Japanese vassals had already seen some of the advantages of Western civilization and successively carried out movements to learn from the West and mainly to the Netherlands.

For example, Mito. During that period, they actively worked on coastal defense and worked hard to learn Western military technology. With the help of high-paying Dutch scholars, ironmaking institutes, saltpeter production institutes, and more modern forts emerged one after another.

In the Satsuma clan, under the personal presidency and care of Shimazu Shibin, the 11th-generation vassal lord who was enthusiastic about modern science, not only did they introduce technologies such as reflectors, iron smelting furnaces, cannon casting, agricultural equipment production centers, glass production centers, steam iron machinery machinery institutes and other more modern or near modern factories, but they were also built one after another like mushrooms after a rain.

In addition, Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu Shimazu even began to actively carry out photography technology and telecommunications experiments, as well as to analyze and apply chemicals.

The same is true in Changzhou, Feiqian, Chuqian, Uwashima and other other vassals. The vassal lords strongly rewarded the "Lanxue" to set up the Lanxue school, actively introduced Dutch technology and purchased warships, not only to carry out Lanxue scientific training for the samurai in the vassal, but also to build factories, cast guns and cannons, build their own Western-style ships, etc.

Moreover, since the feudal Japanese shogunate class basis was samurai, although the samurai could rule the whole people politically, the economic power was completely handed over to wholesalers. Relying on the power of these wholesalers in the city, the tentacles of Japanese commodity circulation could not only extend into the countryside, but also spread to every corner of the countryside.

At this point, the Chinese dynasty in the feudal era should be inferior to that of itself.

Because, the class basis of the centralized feudal system in China is the bureaucratic landlord class.

Therefore, whether it is political or economic rule, all must be managed by the landlord class. Although the wholesalers of commodities in cities may expand their influence to the countryside, they do not have the basis for achieving full coverage in the countryside.

Therefore, although China in the past was always a unified and centralized country, it has never formed an institution that can truly achieve unified commodity circulation in the country in terms of economy, especially in terms of commodity circulation.
