Huang Xuan didn't realize it and controlled the horse to run forward. Even with Lorraine's help, the Japanese pony's speed and endurance were very strong. Dian Wei had already received 80% anti-gravity preferential treatment. This level of anti-gravity Gravity processing can even make people feel a little nauseous. The weight of the horse itself cannot be removed too much. Not even halfway through the journey, the two horses softened one after another.
If you touch it with your hands, you will see that the horse is covered in sweat. Under normal circumstances, when a horse sweats too much, it must be tied up to correct its breathing. However, Huang Xuan did not want to waste this time and had to continue riding. Want to find two more ponies.
Toba is in the southwest of Kyoto, and Fushimi is in the southeast of Kyoto. Occasionally, some ragged samurai can be seen on the road. Dian Wei easily grabbed four horses and changed horses along the way, but Huang Xuan had some bad premonitions.
Ordinarily, the battles of Toba and Fushimi should have started at the end of the month. Judging from the data, during this period, Tokugawa Keiki should be concentrating his efforts to organize the troops of the Aizu and Kuwana vassals to prepare to march from Osaka. Before that, , the overthrow of the shogunate army and the shogunate army did not have much contact.
But now, there is clearly a retreating army in front of them.
The further they advance toward Toba, the more defeated troops there will be. The more difficult problem for Huang Xuan is that most of the defeated troops are samurai carrying swords and ordinary shotguns. Logically speaking, the emperor's army should be equipped with British-style equipment. new firearms.
"Has the shogunate army collapsed?" Huang Xuan grabbed the two fleeing soldiers and asked Lorraine to help.
The two pawns shook their heads desperately. It wasn't until Dianwei's eyes widened that one of them said, "The Aizu army has rebelled."
Huang Xuan couldn't help but pat his head, not knowing what to do. The two vassal soldiers rebelled as they should. Seeing that Tokugawa Kexi had collapsed, who would accompany him to death, but it was too early now.
"Ask him if the Emperor's Army is participating in the war." Lorraine saw Huang Xuan looking a little distracted and couldn't help but interject. He rarely spoke directly over Huang Xuan.
Huang Xuan asked quickly. After Lorraine translated, the soldier licked his dry lips and couldn't explain clearly. It happened that another small group of ashigaru men escaped in disheveled clothes, including a small flag book. Huang Xuan quickly stopped him. Asked: "Have you seen the Emperor's army?"
These defeated troops had long lost their arrogance. When they saw Dian Wei's figure and four Japanese horses, they even thought that Huang Xuan was some kind of big shot. When that person walked over, he didn't know how to salute, so he simply knelt down. He came down and said: "We didn't see the Changzhou soldiers. The Yodo City army refused to let the general enter the city, so we had to go around. When we were in Xi'an, Yodogawa, the Jinfan army stopped advancing again. The general ordered people to urge him, and they also fired cannons. Later, Sang Mingjun was unwilling to move forward. Later, I didn’t know.”
In Japan during the shogunate era, the hierarchy was extremely strict. Hatamoto was directly under the shogun. Many hatmotos would proudly say to their nicknames: "I am a person who can meet the shogun." Therefore, 10 years ago, let a hatamoto It is almost impossible to kneel casually.
But the guy in front of Huang Xuan did just that.
It seems that the shogunate is indeed dying.
Huang Xuan had a headache. If the shogunate army was vulnerable, then the help he could give would definitely not be more than 15,000 people. If so, wouldn't Emperor Meiji have to finish the work of overthrowing the curtain naturally and then adapt to it? The trend is to carry out the Meiji Restoration, and finally carry out the war with Russia, then the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and finally participate in World War I and World War II
Even in another dimension, Huang Xuan was not willing to let the overthrown army win. He was a child of the Red Army with upright roots. What's more, if you do this, there will be almost no pause.
Is it really like a low-level traveler who just kills some people and then goes back
Huang Xuan shook his head fiercely, this was not the style of the Huang family.
Japan's Ashigaru troops are all farmers through and through. They can't speak clearly. They only know how to lie down on the ground with their hands and feet and scream like a toad. Hatamoto can't ask anything. Huang Xuan He waved them off irritably.
There are more and more broken troops on the road. Judging from the number, if the soldiers of the two lords are removed, Tokugawa Keiki's remaining troops are simply not enough to attack Kyoto. In other words, whether the Battle of Toba Fushimi is fought or not, Even the shogunate army may have lost.
"Show me the map." Huang Xuan shouted, and the energy screen suddenly opened in front of him.
From Tokyo to Toba, you have to pass through Shizuoka and Hamamatsu. If you go by land, you have to pass through Nagoya. Kyoto is actually to the west of the midline between Nagoya and Toba. Huang Xuan drew on the map with his hand. While asking: "Where will Tokugawa Keiki go after his defeat?"
"If we follow history, we should go to Osaka first and then take a boat back to Edo."
Osaka is southwest of Kyoto, while Edo is east of Kyoto. In other words, Tokugawa Keki would not be able to escape at all if he did not take a boat. However, whether he escaped or not, the final result would not make any difference.
"Let's go to Osaka." Huang Xuan quickly made a decision: "We still need to see Tokugawa Qingxi first." He said with some annoyance: "We don't even have a sniper rifle in our hands, otherwise we would directly If you kill Emperor Meiji and his little dwarfs, you won’t lose everything.”
Nick, who had been silent for a long time, said in a cheerful tone: "Master Huang Xuan, you are already an 18th level authority. Oh, my dear Master Huang Xuan, do you need help from Nick who is already full of energy? ?”
Lorraine snorted and said, "Nick, are you sure you gave him level 18 authority?"
"Of course." Nick just said one word seriously, and then said with a smile: "Master Huang Xuan, Nick at the level 18 base is at your service."
"Give me a sniper rifle." Huang Xuan pulled the horse's reins and said.
"Oh, because the plane channel has been closed, I can't accurately deliver the materials to you. I'm sorry." There was no apology in Nick's voice. Instead, Lorraine said: "I can pass the strict requirements on the level 16 authority key." Biological teleportation, sending some biological bombs to you if you need them."
"As many as you want?"
"More energy is wasted than usual."
"Then prepare first." Huang Xuan responded, and then said loudly: "Nick, what are you good for? Huh? A level 18 base can't even deliver a sniper rifle."
Classmate Nick said aggrievedly: "Even a high-end base won't do it."
Dian Wei looked at Huang Xuan strangely at this time. He still didn't quite understand why his lord often went crazy, but he didn't care much about these problems...
Huang Xuan looked at the energy screen for a while and said, "Lorraine, I want more information, especially information that is highly similar to this plane."
"I can do this." Nick said quickly: "My search speed is much faster than the level 0 base."
Lorraine was also a little dissatisfied at this time and said: "I will be able to upgrade the base to level 19 soon."
This gave Huang Xuan a bad association.
Sure enough, Lorraine said in her second sentence: "If I reserve another 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, I can upgrade."
Electric power companies, including Furnas, can supply less than 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to Lorraine every day. Especially after daily use, they can store even less electricity. It seems that in Lorraine's sequence, upgrading The sequence is far lower than obtaining Neng Dun. If not, he could ask Huang Xuan to stop traveling in the plane, accumulate energy, and upgrade directly.
Huang Xuan didn't know the use of such a judgment, but he was now used to making judgments. While listening to Lorraine and Nick discussing how to divide the existing energy, Huang Xuan carefully looked at the newly found information. Since the Battle of Toba Fushimi was a frontal battle, the similarity was relatively high. In this case, the time of occurrence is also not fixed.
It can be inferred from this that Tokugawa Kei may have really been defeated.
The Imperial Army did not pursue the victory. In this dimension, the overthrow of the Tokugawa Empire was extremely rapid. In historical facts, Saigo Takamori of the Satsuma Domain once secretly sent people to disrupt social security in Edo Castle, preventing the shogunate from sending large numbers of troops to support frontline operations. , they also made a lot of espionage preparations, but in this plane, everything seems to have been omitted, or everything has been completed.
It can be seen from the display on the energy screen that there are more and more thermal energy targets nearby heading east. Many people are not walking along the main road. A small number of warriors pass by, and Huang Xuan arrests several of them for torture. Surprisingly, there are still a small number of shogunate troops still resisting, but Tokugawa Yoshiki himself should have gone to Osaka.
However, Osaka was difficult to defend, so Tokugawa Keiki took a boat back to Edo and finally surrendered to the emperor. Huang Xuan followed this idea and looked left and right on the map, but he couldn't figure it out.
Just after passing Toyohashi, several shogunate soldiers who were fairly well-dressed came over noisily. Sandwiched in the middle was probably a senior samurai. His armor was still in good condition. Two colorful streamers extended along the collar to his thighs, and he had an unknown helmet. Whether it is off or not on, the moon head is exposed - in modern understanding, it is the yin and yang head.
The first samurai was quite tall. He blocked the road and blocked Huang Xuan. He held an undrawn katana in one hand and shouted: "Are you samurai from Edo?"
Huang Xuan and Dian Wei were wearing clothes scrounged from other people's homes. At this time, they didn't know whether to admit it or not. Dian Wei was more impatient, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Get out of the way."
Naturally, the other party could not understand. Huang Xuan took two steps on his horse and asked Lorraine to translate: "Which daimyo are you samurai serving? We came from Edo to report the news."
"Where's the letter?" The samurai standing in the middle raised his head, and Huang Xuan noticed that he was holding a nodachi that was more than 1 meter in hand. However, the height of the man and the sword was the same, and the whole person stood there like It was a cabinet door that was about to fall off.
"It's a message." Huang Xuan said perfunctorily: "Get out of the way quickly, don't waste time."
He didn't know whether oral messages and letters could be related in Japanese. The samurai glanced at Huang Xuan, flattened his mouth, and whispered something. The samurai around him pulled out their swords one after another. The one at the front The man shouted: "Leave the horse and you can go."
Seeing this situation, Huang Xuan said nothing more, glanced at Dian Wei, and said, "Keep the one in colorful clothes, and do whatever you want with the rest."
Dian Wei nodded, followed the example of the gentlemen at the gym, moved his limbs, shouted "Here," and jumped off the horse heavily.
The Japanese horse he was riding had already suffered enough abuse. After being frightened, it immediately collapsed. Huang Xuan pulled the horse around in a half circle, took two steps back, and prepared to concentrate on watching the show.
Except for the samurai at the front, the remaining Japanese were not much taller than a samurai sword. Dian Wei stood among them, as if Yao Ming was performing in a kindergarten, and the defeated soldiers in the distance showed horrified expressions.
I saw a guy with watermelon Taro-style children's Mediterranean hair taking the lead in raising the knife. He held his breath like a woman screaming, raised his hands in the air, and rushed over with small steps.
Dian Wei just took a deep breath, blocked the child with his right hand, then pulled it back fiercely, grabbed one of the children's Mediterranean arms, and kicked him hard with his foot.
This guy suddenly looked like a bedding being dried in the strong wind. His feet were off the ground, his whole body was parallel to the ground, and his voice also changed.
Dian Wei twisted his left hand and snatched the knife from his hand. He had not seen blood for a long time, so he eagerly tried the knife and neatly removed one of Xigua Taro's arms.
Huang Xuan took two steps back in disgust, and Lorraine said at this time: "Huang Xuan, Aubrey's phone number."
After being stunned for a moment, Huang Xuan was still a little uncomfortable with the fact that the front was still Japanese samurai fighting hard, but the rear was modern facilities.
After picking his ears, Huang Xuan said in a low voice: "Aubrey?"
"Oh, thank God, your secretary finally found you." Aubrey said in an urgent voice: "Mr. Huang, all the procedures have been prepared. You have received a joint loan of 10 billion US dollars. Oh my God, it's really disappointing. I can not imagine."
Huang Xuan smiled casually, looked at the elephant playing monkey in front of him, and said, "Then the problem now is..."
"You have to use them as soon as possible." Aubrey said in an exaggerated tone: "Mr. Huang, starting from three months later, you will have to pay interest on a monthly basis. The average interest is 8.1%, that is to say, You have to pay US$67.67 million in interest every month. In fact, starting from the third month, the interest you need to pay is US$81 million. If you cannot pay the interest for two consecutive months, the money will be withdrawn immediately. ”
"I understand." Huang Xuan pouted and said, "What about the others?"
Listening to Huang Xuan's seemingly indifferent tone, Aubrey went crazy. If the owner hadn't just borrowed 10 billion US dollars, he would have thought that this was a guy who was definitely bankrupt. Mr. White sorted out his thoughts and slowed down his voice: "Mr. Huang, now the money has arrived in the accounts of various banks. You can withdraw it at any time, but before you use them, you know, any call for a penny , all have to go through strict procedures, and we have hired Ernst & Young as the accounting firm for this loan.”
Huang Xuan knew what he meant. To put it simply, when the money is not used, it should be kept in other banks. When you want to use it, you should let the bank know where you used it. This is a large loan. Commonly used means.
At this time, several Japanese little monkeys had been abandoned on the roadside. Dian Wei clapped his hands and mounted a horse that could still stand upright, and said to Huang Xuan: "Lord, let's continue on our way."
Huang Xuan urged his horse forward and said to Aubrey, "Uh, Mr. White, are you responsible for this loan now?"
"The first person in charge is Maurice Blanchot, the vice president of BNP Paribas." When it came to the position issue, Aubrey immediately said with a smile: "I am responsible for communicating with you, haha, Mr. Rubin will also pay attention to this loans.”
"That's good." Huang Xuan laughed twice and said, "Then please go to Nanjing in the next two days and explain to my mother about this loan."
"Ms. Zhang Xinyi?"
"That's right." Huang Xuan chuckled. For such a big matter, it would be easier to find a middleman to explain it clearly. And you don’t have to endure “tyranny”.
There were bloodstains everywhere on the ground. The soldiers who had just come off the battlefield were not very scared, but Dian Wei still looked a little uncomfortable and ran down the road one after another. The defeat had made these guys who advocated bushido lose their faith. .
Looking at the black and red blood, Huang Xuan grabbed something fiercely. He shouted to Lorraine to open the energy screen, and his hand unconsciously pointed at the location of Honshu Island.
Southwest of Edo and northeast of Shizuoka, this is where the Imperial Army must pass. Huang Xuan gently drew circles here with his fingers, imagining the spread of an endless fire...
Tokugawa Yoshiki has lost his dominance, and Meiji has only just begun to learn to be emperor. There is no time more suitable than now.
…
Other than the word count: The same full 5,000 words. It will be updated as normal starting today. It is also the end of the month. If you still have unvoted monthly votes, just throw them to the dolphins. Theoretically, with more than a thousand votes, the dolphins can still vote. Being in the top ten, if there weren't so many, I wouldn't be dissatisfied. (To be continued)
