1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 279 Next stop, Edo
Different from the reaction of ordinary people, the middle and lower class samurai in Nagasaki learned that the "Treaty of Nagasaki" had been signed, and they were heartbroken and beat their chests.

Some extreme low-level samurai even went directly to Nabeshima Naomasa and Osawa Kozhe's mansion, and wrote to the feudal lord and Nagasaki Fushin, stating their interests and interests, bluntly saying that Americans who entered Nagasaki enjoy privileges in Nagasaki, and their status is higher than that of samurai. It is something unprecedented in ancient times, and it will surely bring chaos to the imperial kingdom and cause endless harm.

These samurai asked to fight, thinking that they could defeat the Americans with strong ships and guns with the spirit of bushido, and drive the Americans out of Nagasaki.

The samurai in the middle and lower classes were crazy, but Naomasa Naomasa and Yasawa Osawa were not crazy. These samurai's lunatic requests were quickly refuted by Naomasa Naomasa and Yasawa Osawa.

Naomasa Nabeshima even warned these restless samurai to keep themselves safe and not to cause trouble, leaving excuses for the Americans and bringing new troubles.

But soon, what Nabeshima was worried about happened.

After Liang Yao settled the army, he and Perry led the soldiers to the Tang Pavilion to discuss with the Chinese merchants about supplies for the trip to Edo.

Not long after Liang Yao and Perry left the gate of the barracks, a dozen warriors who had been squatting for a long time suddenly appeared from both sides of the road, and blocked Liang Yao with their swords drawn.

The soldiers around Liang Yao and Perry subconsciously stood in front of Liang Yao and Perry, and drew their guns at the lower-level warriors who were plotting evil, thinking it was an assassination.

To everyone's jaw drop, the next second, these samurai stabbed their samurai swords into their stomachs, stirred the handles of the katana in their hands, showed hideous and perverted smiles on their faces, and shouted indistinctly Long Live Tianzhu vocabulary like that.

What's more, the intestines were pulled out from the bloody stomach and thrown towards Liang Yao and others.

"Crazy! Crazy! This is a group of unreasonable lunatics!"

Perry was not mentally prepared for this. Even though Perry was a battle-hardened naval veteran who had personally experienced the bloodshed of the battlefield, Perry's face turned pale with fright in the face of these Japanese samurai who put their lives on the line.

"The impotent rage of the weak, shoot!"

Liang Yao dismissively ordered to shoot.

These lunatics are perverted, and he will not be surprised by any kind of strange tricks.

These Japanese samurai just wanted to frighten them by self-harm, and he didn't expect Perry and the soldiers under him to understand the weird brain circuits of the Japanese.

Naomasa Naoshima was furious when he learned about this, but he didn't expect that some samurai from the Saga Domain disregarded the ban and provoked the Americans, and rushed to Nagasaki Port to apologize to Liang Yao and Perry.

Perry was terrified by this matter, but Liang Yao was not affected.

Liang Yao threatened Naoshima Naomasa for this matter, and demanded a sum of compensation from Nabeshima Naomasa.

This matter was completely caused by some lower-level samurai of the Saga clan looking for trouble. In order to calm things down, Nabeshima Naomasa could only admit it with his nose.

After resting in Nagasaki for a few days and replenishing with fresh seasonal vegetables and meat, Liang Yao Naoshima Naoshima set off from Nagasaki, followed the coastline of Japan, and entered the Seto Inland Sea in a majestic manner. The soldiers pointed directly at Edo!

The rapid defeat of the Hizen Saga clan, the fall of Nagasaki in one day, and the signing of an alliance with the Americans under the castle, shocked the surrounding Japanese clans.

Knowing that the American warship flying the Stars and Stripes appeared at the gate of their domain, the feudal lords along the way were terrified, and everyone was in danger, for fear that they would become the next Saga domain and the next Nabeshima Naomasa.

The Hizen Saga Domain is one of the most powerful domains, and it is so embarrassing to lose in front of the Americans, let alone the other domains that are weaker.

The power of the whole of Japan was strengthened by the Hizen Saga clan, which can be counted with a single slap.

Fortunately for the feudal lords along the way, Liang Yao's goal was very clear, that is, the shogun of Edo, and he was not interested in the feudal lords along the way.

"Patriarch, this time I am going to Edo on the American ship, the Patriarch must bear the reputation of treason and the king. The Patriarch does not have to go to Edo with the Americans himself."

On the Roland, Naomasa Naomasa's close retainer Okihashi Ren said to Naomasa Naomasa.

Behind them are guards who monitor their every move.

Facing the sea breeze, Naoshima showed a long-lost smile and said, "If you follow me to Edo, won't you be afraid of getting a bad name?"

"Wherever the Patriarch goes, the subordinates will go there! Everything under the Patriarch is given by the Patriarch!" Da Muqiaoren said.

Nabeshima stared at the coastline of Japan, and said sadly: "This damn fine mountain and river divides the small Japan into fragments. No matter which feudal clan it is, even if it is a strong feudal clan, it is not the opponent of these Americans."

During these days on the Roland, Nabeshima Naomasa had a lot of feelings.

The American warships were much more advanced than the Dutch ships he had inspected before, and the new naval guns on the ships were an eye-opener for him.

Skills are not as good as others, losing to these Americans, Nabeshima Naoshima is convinced that he lost.

"The Patriarch thinks, how can Japan defeat the United States, a snow today's shame?" Da Muqiao Ren asked solemnly.

"To avenge today's shame, Japan's three hundred vassals must be unified. This is what the Qing Dynasty did better than us." Nabeshima Naomasa said, "It's just that this is just the most basic premise of avenging shame."

As he said that, Naoshima turned around and said to Oki Bridge: "Oki, you are different from other vassals who only use knives to solve problems. You are talented, intelligent, hardworking and studious. He has profound attainments in Helan Studies."

"Compared with the Patriarch, what Damu has learned is just superficial." Damu Qiaoren said modestly.

"Whether it's superficial or quintessential, starting today, forget what you've learned in the past. Neither Sinology nor Lanology can save Saga and Japan.

When the trip to Edo is over, you will be one of the first batch of international students in Saga to study in the United States. When you come back from your studies, tell me what kind of country I lost to. "

Naoshima told Okibashi Ren.

"Yes! Patriarch!"

Looking at Nabeshima Naomasa who suddenly had white hair on his temples and a haggard face, Okihashi Ren couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

In October 1852, a large fleet appeared in Uraga, Edo.

This fleet consists of seven warships, four large steam supply ships, troop carriers, and a Chinese-style hard-sail supply ship hired from Nagasaki Tangguan.

Some unofficial history of later generations said that the Japanese had never seen a steamship before the black ship came to Japan, which is not accurate.

In fact, before the black ship came to Japan, the Japanese not only saw the steam ship, but many Japanese feudal lords also boarded the steam ship for inspection.

For example, Nabeshima Naomasa of Oran Gaku personally boarded a Dutch steamship for investigation when he was stationed in Nagasaki.

People in Nagasaki and its vicinity have seen steamships more or less, but the steamships of the Dutch are not large in tonnage, and they are not serious warships. The visual impact brought to the Japanese is far from that of the American East India Fleet. Warships of more than [-] tons are on a par.

After all, the Netherlands in the last years of the shogunate has also weakened in an all-round way. It is no longer the sea coachman in the early years of the shogunate, and has long been reduced to a second-rate country in Europe.

It's just that the Japanese shogunate has closed the country for a long time, and knows little about the unexpected international situation in East Asia. It still regards the Netherlands as the number one power in the West.

However, it is true that the Japanese in Edo have never seen a steamship. The warship under Liang Yao and Perry just sailed into Uraga, the gateway to Edo Bay (Tokyo Bay), and before entering Edo, it caused a huge commotion. .
