.Chapter 4, Under the long journey of Kangda, As for the current generation of generals Tokugawa Iemini, hehe, he is also a famous "Idiot Highness. One is the grandson of the previous generation "Genius General. He died of illness almost at the same time. He was only more than 30 years ago because his father and grandfather were sick. It is said that because he was shocked by polio in his childhood, Tokugawa Iemini's mind has not been very smart since childhood, and he became even more idiotic when he grew up. Not only did he speak in a mess, but he was extremely absurd, and he still had no descendants. In terms of Eastern political terms, it is "I don't look like a man."

After introducing the so-called "dog general" who values ​​dogs and despises people, the old monk Shizumizu Yoshinobu's attitude towards the current "Idiot Prince" Tokugawa Ie Nakamaki is even more disdainful of the attitude of the old monk Shizumizu Yoshiroshi's Hokuroshi's current "Idiot Prince" Tokugawa Ie Nakamaki, who is currently in power.

.

This is also the general attitude of all sectors of Japan's island countries towards this matter. The chaos and weakness of the shogunate are inevitable at this point.

After the "Idiot Your Highness" Tomoya came to power, the real power of the Edo Shogunate was completely under the hands of several Lao Feng, and it was ordered to go out for a while and it changed frequently. The local officials below were also slanderous. The foreign vassals took the opportunity to intervene, resulting in extremely disordered shogunate government orders. In fact, long before Admiral Perry's brazen attack on Edo Castle, the domestic vassals were already ready to move, and the Kyoto court also began to jump up and down. After the signing of the founding treaty, the authority of the shogunate fell sharply, and its government orders were simply generally boycotted across the country.

Faced with such a bad situation where leaders are weak, political turmoil, military power is corrupt, authority collapse, and vassals are erratic, the insane Edo shogunate has no intention or power to expel the Naserel Empire garrison and restore the "ideal" state of lockdown in the past.

On the contrary, in order to suppress the rebellion and riots of the vassal states and barely maintain the ruling order of the country, they often asked Admiral Perry for help and imported various arms and equipment from Naserel. They recruited military instructors with practical combat experience to establish their own new army to replace the so-called "Edo Eighty thousand flag book" that had long been unusable.

On the other hand, Admiral Perry also faced an unsustainable dilemma after achieving the initial victory of the Far East Strategy.

In this era when the whole world is about to be divided and divided, and large-scale navigation and colonization is about to come to an end, the elf kingdom of Yongju Island is the overlord of the four seas, while the maritime forces of the Naserel Empire are ranked second.

Due to the long-term relative disadvantage in terms of overall battle situation, the Naserel fleet was blocked by the Elf Navy in a few harbors, making it difficult to transport large amounts to the Far East for most of the time

Considering that the country's land battlefield is not very abundant, the imperial regular field army with a total force of only 180,000, and some militia-like auxiliary legions that were temporarily pieced together from all over the front line often faced up to millions of mixed elves. In this way, the Ministry of Defense of Naserel could only repeatedly use the method of breaking through the small fleet. It transported Admiral Perry a reinforcement of only a few dozen or hundreds of people each time, and often encountered various losses in the middle. As for the supply of arms and ammunition, it was almost the same difficulty.

Therefore, although Admiral Perry has opened up a huge situation in the Far East, it is still difficult to obtain sufficient military support from his country due to the lack of sea routes. As a result, he always faces the fatal problem of lack of troops.

With the only resources at hand, he was unable to further conquer the island country. On the contrary, he tried his best to deal with the invasion of the elves, which required close cooperation among local rulers and assistance in intelligence and materials. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides quickly shifted from hostility to ease.

Later, as the power of the goddess of wealth and trade, Aura Jin, began to expand rapidly in Kuzakra, the situation in this region has undergone another earth-shaking and tremendous changes.

As early as the time of the shogunate prosperity, the banished merchant groups had already controlled the trade and finance of the country. They also held large debts of various vassal states. There was always a saying that "a large group of merchants were angry and the princes of the world were afraid. However, according to the traditions and customs of scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial, merchants still lived at the end of the four people. Not only did they have much political rights, but they also had to be subject to many restrictions in life, such as prohibiting the wearing of silk clothes, prohibiting the use of bright clothes, prohibiting the use of sedan chairs when they went out, and kneeling down to salute when they saw warriors passing by, etc., to demonstrate the low status of the merchant.

Jingshui Youhuo pointed at a port city located south of Kyoto on the map, and explained to the officials of Naserier.

Compared to the various contempts he received in his identity, the worse problem for merchants is that in order to appease bankrupt samurai and make up for the financial deficit, the shogunate has often issued "God-government decrees" in recent decades, that is, openly allowing the samurai to slap the debts owed to merchants and to extort large amounts of "public funds" from merchants. The large gang of merchants who suffered heavy losses are naturally resentful about this, but they are troubled by not finding a suitable political spokesperson for the time being and do not have their own military basis. Even if they have mastered the lifeline of the country's economy, it is difficult to confront the shogunate.

In any era, political struggles still have to be spoken by swords and guns in the end.

At this time, the church of Goddess Yakin came to the East to promote business, so the two sides quickly hit it off. A large marquis group joined the Yakin Church in order to enhance the strength of the Yakin Church in the East. The Yakin Church used its huge influence within the Naserier Empire to infiltrate and interfere with the Far East garrison of the Naserier Empire, and even provided arms and soldiers, and provided support in the domestic political arena as bait, and directly attracted Admiral Perry himself. In the end, he relied on the powerful armed forces of the Naserier Far East garrison, and attacked with various potential forces operating in the country with the large brigade of the merchant group. In turn, he suppressed the various conditions of the Dajun merchant group. He was willing to do a direct war of force. The weak and chaotic Edo Shogunate could only give in step by step.

This roundabout approach soon achieved a complete win-win situation. The Yokohama Concession of the Naseril Empire has now become the territory of the Yajin Church, and the Empire's Far East Fleet has become a thug to protect the commercial interests of the Yajin Church.

For the Dachai business group, in the past decade, the shogunate, Mr. Xi, had simply taken turns to take over the leadership of several of them, and took over the various government affairs of the "Idiot Your Highness" De Jiaming.

As far as the fact is concerned, these original "the end of the four people." are now above all warriors.

However, this also made the Edo Shogunate fall from the highest representative of the country's samurai to the greatest public enemy of the samurai class in one fell swoop. Not only those ambitious powerful foreign vassals, but also a considerable number of the samurai warriors directly under the shogunate were unwilling to endure this great humiliation that was called by "lowly" merchants all day long, and began to plan in a rush to pull the flag and rebel.

Fortunately, the warriors these days have long been decayed, and their ability to rebel is much worse than that in war. After many consecutive large-scale rebellions were easily suppressed by the merchant army and the Naserel Far Eastern Army, the situation in this island country finally calmed down for a while.

The Kuzakra, whom Feiri and others were about to go to, was such a turbulent country that had been severely penetrated by the Neckin Church on the surface. Whether it was the Edo shogunate or the Far East garrison of the Naseril Empire, they had actually become subordinate branches of the Goddess of Wealth and Trade, but there was still a certain struggle between them. But there were also turbulent countries that frequently resisted small-scale riots and terrorist attacks.

"Tsk tsk, why does it sound like a group of senior compradors who gradually seize the supreme power with the help of military and economic support of foreign forces, as well as the unrest and weakness of their own governments?"

After listening to the long narrative of the old monk Jingshui Youhu, Feili couldn't help but mutter to himself. Similar historical stories, he had heard too many and too many times in the world before traveling through time. For example, the Soviet Union was in Afghanistan and the United States in Iraq. In a sense, even the collapse of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe were almost the same evolutionary process.

However, there are still some differences between these, and Fili contemplates silently. For the gods, there is no difference between believers on earth. As long as you offer enough pious faith and insist on following her fundamental teachings, promote free trade and increase commercial flow of gold, you will treat all believers equally, and will not deliberately favor the church members of the Naseril Empire because of the first come and then come, which will harm the interests of the local believers of Kuzakra. Instead, it is possible to provide some extra care to the newcomers.

For example, the magic goddess Mistera on her head would not forcefully capture the ability to use the magic net because some magicians have a bad relationship with their church. Just casting spells through the magic net is equivalent to a recognition and affirmation of her clergy. On the contrary, if the identity of the user is too restricted, the magic net cannot be promoted and popularized, and may even be collectively rejected by the mages, which will cause even heavier losses.

Therefore, the shogunate today is not a shameful person, but a collaborator or even competitor of the Far East Army of Naserel.

Although both of these bags are sitting on the crater. As the ruler of the country of warriors, most warriors regard them as enemies!

"The situation in the Far East seems to be much more complicated than I expected.

!”

Feili closed her notebook casually and sighed with emotion.

Although Major General Ferry Taylor's stomach and intestines have been forced to endure the torture of mashed potatoes for more than ten consecutive days, in fact, it is not impossible to get more food on Xiangrui, and it comes directly from his own hands.

In the name of the mothers of magic, all the North Roar is like food making!”

In the dark and deep bay of the warship, Feili was wearing his artifact-level maid outfit, holding a broom given by the magic goddess, singing a spell with a solemn expression, and poking the broom heavily into the ceiling. A dazzling white light flashed by, and suddenly a pile of fresh fruits swept out from the void car.

As a candidate for the Magic Goddess, Feili has actually both priests and mages. Therefore, after a period of practice and exploration, she has mastered some relatively simple magical techniques. Level 4 magical food manufacturing is the most practical one, although he can only summon the simplest bread or fruit, or even the type of fruit that cannot be selected.

What's even more unfortunate is that this weird spell casting gesture is really like catching mice, chasing cockroaches or cleaning spider webs, and the actual effect is even more terrifying. Feili looked at the fruit rain created by spells with a dark face, and at the same time, her figure flexibly twisted her waist and dodged, barely avoiding the hard fruits falling directly against the head one by one, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.

This is really a ghost. It is obvious that the apples fell on Mr. Newton's head, why is it that hit my head at this moment, but it is either coconut or durian?
