Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1001 The shogunate's war determination (second update)

"Tokyo Branch intends to fully fulfill the contract signed by Manager Wang and the businessman!"

While Abe Tadaaki was waiting for the reputation of the Tokyo branch to be discredited due to the incident of Wang Guanshi running away with the money, news came that the Tokyo branch had forcibly absorbed all the losses in order to maintain its reputation.

"Their Tokyo branch is ruthless enough to bear all the losses and maintain their good reputation. Reputation is the cornerstone of a bank. Without the cornerstone, all business does not know where to start." Abe Tadaki realized that credit is important to the financial system importance.

"If they come like this, everything we have done before will be in vain." Another shogunate minister Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Abe Tadaaki are in the tea room of the Edo Bank.

Edo Bank was badly hurt after being tricked by Da Yuer once. Fortunately, Abe Tadaaki was also a genius, and he didn't let Edo Bank be completely destroyed. From losing all market share to recovering [-]% ​​of the market.Later, Tadaaki Abe issued a decree as a reformer, requiring Japanese merchants to conduct transactions with Huaxia merchants through Edo Bank, exactly the same as Huaxia merchants must conduct transactions through the Tokyo branch.In the Japanese market, after all, there are more local Japanese merchants. Edo Bank has monopolized most of the trading channels of Japanese merchants, and its market share has climbed from [-]% to [-]%. It confronts the Tokyo branch again.

The reason why the Tokyo branch has not been in decline in the contest with the shogunate is because the Tokyo branch has shown enough credit in the run on event, so that everyone believes that the Tokyo branch has the ability to deal with the crisis.

"We didn't lose money this time. By sacrificing a Chinese, the Kyushu Army suffered a loss of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver. We made money no matter what." Abe Tadaaki said nonchalantly.

As far as the results of this conspiracy are concerned, he has won.

"That manager Wang is also a gambler, otherwise he wouldn't owe us so much loan from Edo Bank, let alone be driven by us. It's a pity that there are not many people who can take advantage of it. It would be a waste to throw away this pawn. He could have played a bigger role, and even crushed the Tokyo branch in one fell swoop." Matsudaira Nobutsuna put down the tea set, feeling deeply regretful.

It is not easy for them to infiltrate an important financial institution such as the Tokyo Branch, and they are afraid that they will be known by the upper echelons of the Kyushu Army.Lured Guanshi Wang to make mistakes, and then kept borrowing money from Edo Bank to achieve the purpose of controlling Guanshi Wang.

"It's nothing more than sacrificing a gambler. I really want to bring back the Great Demon King. I look forward to confronting her next time. This time Edo Bank occupies [-]% of the market, and we can compete with dignity." Abe Tadaaki At this time, he was full of confidence, and wanted Da Yuer to return to the Tokyo branch to have another financial decisive battle with him.

However, Da Yuer was already serving as a member of the Monetary Policy and Fiscal Policy Committee in the capital at this time. What she considered was affecting the monetary policy and fiscal policy of China's one capital and twenty provinces, and was no longer limited to the confrontation of the financial circles in Edo City.

"Behind the Great Demon King is the leader of the Kyushu Army supporting her. Last time she was impeached and left Dongying, she did not come back. However, many of the businessmen who offended her were imprisoned, and one from the Eastern Company The director was executed. Anyone who offends her will have a good end, she is really a terrible person, and she deserves to be called the Great Demon King." Matsudaira Nobuzuna mentioned Dayuer, thinking of the recent collection of her intelligence.

"The Great Devil must have used some special means to retaliate against those who offended her. I don't know if there are other people like this in the Kyushu Army. Fortunately, although President Qian of the Tokyo branch is calm, he is not a genius." Abe Tadaaki Also full of jealousy towards Dayuer.

If Da Yuer knew that these two loyal officials of the shogunate feared her so much, he would definitely be dumbfounded.It's not that she used any means to retaliate, it's just that those businessmen who smuggled, evaded taxes, and bribed the directors of Dongfang Company found out and committed suicide.

"Let's not talk about the Great Demon King, maybe she won't be sent here. This is the second time our shogunate revolution is facing. According to the information collected by my spies, the main force of the Beiyang Fleet led by Zheng Zhilong is helping King Koryo to pacify The rebellion will not be able to get away for a while. At present, there are only a few warships of the Beiyang Fleet in Yokohama Port. We and the main combat faction believe that we should take advantage of this good opportunity to launch the battle against Osaka again. The rebels of the southwestern feudal clans The bases are in Kyoto and Osaka. If our shogunate army can concentrate our forces to conquer these two cities, the rebel forces will surely fall apart, and the Shimadzu family will surrender without a fight.” Nobuzuna Matsudaira announced an extremely important announcement to Tadaki Abe. information.

"Are you going to start a decisive battle against the fallen coalition forces? I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Our Bank of Edo will imitate Bank of Kyushu to issue war bonds to raise money for the army. We must resolve our civil strife as soon as possible and gather all the forces that can be assembled to fight with Kyushu Army to contend with." Abe Tadaaki very much agreed with Matsudaira Nobutsuna's decision.

"The southwestern vassals delayed us and hindered our reform. Our ultimate goal is to build a unified empire, so that we can have enough capital to compete with China. A divided empire cannot fight against powerful enemies!" Matsudaira Nobuna said .

"What's the attitude of the shogun?" Abe Tadaaki asked.

"The shogun will march in person and gather more than 2 troops from all over the country to surround Osaka Castle. I will lead a [-]-man partial division to move towards Kyoto and hold back at least half of the rebel forces. We plan to invest all the firearms and gunpowder , One battle will determine the outcome!" Nobuzuna Matsudaira said sharply.

Tadaki Abe stood in awe as a reflex, and invested all his troops and strategic materials in a decisive battle with the rebels. This time, the shogun made up his mind to unify Japan.

Without the foreign enemy of the Kyushu Army, it would be impossible for the shogunate to have such a cohesive force, uniting all the daimyo lords and banners within the shogunate's sphere of influence.For the first time, there is a trend of unification in Japan.If the shogunate really defeated the allied forces in the upcoming Osaka battle, then the provincial system led by the shogunate would be extended to the entire Japan, and a complete empire would be established for the first time!

On the contrary, if the shogunate fails, the allied forces may push back to Edo Castle again. This time the Beiyang Fleet may not help the shogunate.

"If I didn't want to sit in Edo Castle, I would definitely lead an army to fight against the enemy!" Abe Tadaaki's samurai's ruthlessness appeared. Since the fall of the Allied Forces and the arrival of the Beiyang Fleet, the shogunate has been aggrieved, and finally reached the point where it could not be tolerated. the point.
