Chapter 808: Envoy to China
Who will send the letters from the capital? Big brother?
Da Yu'er opened the envelope with curiosity, and what caught her eye was a series of beautiful handwriting. The content she looked at, her hands trembled slightly.
"Miss, what happened?" Some officials from the Ministry of Revenue seemed a little excited when they saw Da Yu'er's eyes bright and couldn't help but say something strange.
"We have introduced a lot of new measures recently. Whether it is Chinese merchants or Japanese merchants, it takes time to digest them. In the next few months, we only need to continue to observe and record. So in a few days, I will return to the capital and wait for the Spring Festival to come back." Da Yuer put away the letter, couldn't help but feel happy, and smiled at everyone.
Many young officials couldn't help but be stunned, but they quickly said anxiously: "What about us?"
"You can stay in Yokohama Port for the festival. I believe that you and your group will not be lonely here." Da Yu'er left them with an encouraging look, then waved her long skirt and left here lightly.
"Ah--" The remaining officials of the Ministry of Revenue look at me and I look at you. Without Da Yu'er, what's the point of a group of big men gathering together to celebrate the festival!
Finally, I can go back to the capital. The corner of Da Yu'er's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. The letter I just received was sent by someone from the Irato Intelligence Department. In the letter, Ara invited her to return to the capital for the festival, and it had been approved by the Ministry of Revenue. Although Da Yu'er asked to come to Japan in advance for office out of an inexplicable emotion, she still wanted to return to the capital during the festival.
Not only Oyu'er, but Tadashi Sakai also wanted to go to the capital.
In Sakai Tadao's temporary residence, a group of servants were packing their bags. In a few days, he was about to lead the shogunate envoy to China, which was an unprecedented event. He was already one of the highest officials of the shogunate, and in the entire history, there were very few Japanese officials who went to China's capital.
"Sakurai, how long are you going to China for this trip? "Taki Abe knelt on the opposite side of Tadao Sakai.
"It will take at least three months, but the Kyushu army does not play according to the rules at all, and maybe they will be detained in the local area." Tadaoka Sakai was actually a little afraid of being detained by the Kyushu army.
In his eyes, the people from the Jiuzhou Army are not normal people, otherwise how could they come up with so many novel things?
"Sakura Kwan, please be relieved. They are arrogant and do not seem to be the ones who will detain us." Tadao Abe said.
Tadaoka Sakai was slightly suffocated by Tadao Abe's words. He couldn't help but remember the embarrassing thing that was despised by Da Yu'er that day.
"Since the Kyushu army knocked on the gates, the good situation in our shogunate has taken a sharp turn. First, the rebels led by the Satsuma clan advanced eastward, then Yokohama became the concession, and then the Huaxia Society, which jumped up and down, caused us countless troubles. Fortunately, the rebels were defeated and now they are hiding in Kansai. The Kyushu army has not continued to expand after occupying Yokohama Village..." said Tadaoqiu Abe.
"No, they have been trying to expand and even built a railway from Yokohama Port to Edo Castle, but this section of the railway has not been completed yet. This time, I led an envoy to China. Not only did I go to the capital of China, but I also had to go to see their railways specifically. I need to learn more about their technology and judge the impact of them! If it is beneficial to us, we will learn it. If it is harmful, we will come up with solutions!" Tadaoka Sakai mentioned the Edo-Yodo Railway being built.
"Sakura's concerns are not without reason. The Kyushu Army is on the surface, but in fact it is using other means to expand their influence!" Tadakami Abe also understood the impact of the Kyushu Army on Japan.
The Kyushu Army's actions, either open or secret, did not seem to directly impact the shogunate, but they are no less powerful than muskets and cannons.
"There are also those comprador merchants and people from the Huaxia Society. They are all damn people who helped the Kyushu Army penetrate everywhere. The jumping clown of the Huaxia Society is even more annoying. Fortunately, the killer sent by Sakai Jun last time shocked Tanaka Seiyi. They are now much more peaceful." Tadao Abe talked about the Huaxia Society led by the comprador merchants of Japan and Tanaka Seiyi.
"Tanaka Naiichi is just a mad dog that bites people randomly. Only such a mad dog will have the courage to assassinate the officials of our shogunate. As long as we are crazier than him, he will be afraid." Sakai Tadakashi said.
"Saki Kun, I heard that when the assassination of Tanaka Zeichi, the killer sent to assassinate seven core members of the Huaxia Society at one time. That killer was really amazing." Tadao Abe sighed.
"So what if I killed seven core members? Tanaka Naiichi escaped by luck. Now he is hiding in the barracks of the Beiyang Fleet and dare not come out. Although my dead soldiers are powerful, they cannot get into the army for assassination." Sakai Tadaokazu Sakai said.
"But your dead soldiers are already very powerful. If it were the dead soldiers I raised, no one could kill seven people." Abe Tadaki said.
"That dead man is not an ordinary origin. Do the Fengmo clan know?" Sakai Tadaokaku saw that he and Abe Tadaki were the only ones around, so he whispered.
"The Wind Demon clan was a ninja family from the Warring States Period. It was specially designed for assassination for Daming and the city lords, collecting intelligence and other things. However, as early as the establishment of the shogunate, the Tokugawa clan was afraid of their ability and arrested them all while several families were in conflict, and then exterminated the clan... Could it be?" Tadao Abe looked at Tadaoka Sakai.
"Yes, I followed the Tokugawa family at that time and participated in the execution of these secretly shameful intelligence personnel. However, I was amazed at the ability of their family, so I privately rescued a young woman who mastered the assassination skills of the Fengmo clan and worked specifically for our Sakai family." Sakai Tadaokazuki said.
"It's really surprising, but that woman is probably 40 or 50 years old now." Tadao Abe said in surprise.
