The Japanese Kenroku Abe, Kinoro Ishihara, and a second lieutenant of the Southeast Army named An Kiyoyuki were summoned by Yang Tiansheng and arranged for them to get on a fast boat and rush to Edo.

Inform the arrival of the Ming army and Yan Changwu, in order to encourage morale and give the Edo defenders the courage to defend to the death.

This is a good thing, Kenroku Abe and Kiyuro Ishihara happily agreed, as for An Qingzhi, he is a Ming officer, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and they just obey orders.

As soon as they were leaving, the three of them boarded a Fergate-style clipper, the world's first-class ocean-going clipper, which ran when the wind was blowing, and could skim the sea like a light seagull.

After leaving the Grand Fleet and soon entering the sea, the fishy sea breeze rushed in front of him, and Kenroku Abe's excited mind calmed down and began to think about the meaning of this trip.

Of course, there were positive factors, and if the Edo defenders did not have the courage to fight any further, then everything would be over, so it was necessary to report the arrival of the Ming army in a timely manner.

However, it is not a good thing to let the rebels know about the reinforcements!

The rebels are afraid of the Ming army, and they will attack desperately, and Edo is in danger!

He was right in his concerns!

……

By the time the Arma had less than halfway to the end, the Fergate-style clipper with three ensigns on board had already arrived in Edo.

The atmosphere in Edo was very serious, and it was clear from the moment you entered the adjacent sea that the patrolling sentinel ships were constantly coming to intercept them, even if the clippers were already accompanied by their own sentinel boats!

Kenroku Abe stood on the deck and watched the ships and ships coming and going, the relationship between the Edo shogunate and the two countries was very good, and the Japanese country had money, so it was able to import some cruisers and corvettes, and there was no shortage of large ships with nearly 40 guns, which were much more powerful than the previous gunboats, and after landing, I saw many soldiers armed with iron cannons (that is, muskets, as the Wa country called them), as well as many cannons that rumbled by.

However, the firepower is strong, and the people are wasted!

The ten-year-old Tokugawa Ietsuna succeeded to the throne as the shogun, and the key was that the Japanese country had been peaceful for a long time, and overseas goods poured in, and the powerful and samurai of the shogunate all fell.

The two countries are engaged in commodity economy, and the commodities produced are varied, high quality, and prices are all available from high to low.

The silk is unusually bright and exquisite, and the porcelain is so delicate that people can see that they all become chopping hands!

The Ming Dynasty increased the production and quality of silk and porcelain, and the Japanese people could not resist their temptation but to give money.

Wa also produces tea, in the minds of the Wa people, it is not inferior to Chinese tea, but when the rise of the two Chinas, the Chinese tea makes the Wa tea mountain unsustainable, the same quality of tea, even if it is across the sea, the price is lower than the Wa tea, and the Chinese tea merchants still have a profit!

Moreover, the tea quality of China's top tea, even the most patriotic Japanese people have to admit defeat.

There is also wine, in ancient times, wine was a luxury, Gain wine was made from grain, and grain production was not easy to increase, it is not surprising that a dozen farmers raise one person, and it is very surprising that a farmer raises a dozen people.

In order to ensure the survival of the people, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Wa State, they will strictly control the production of grain and wine, and the output of wine will not go up.

And in the southeast, it is a shipload of rum transported to the Wa country, how much it takes!

This wine is made from the by-product of sugar extraction from sugar cane, which does not occupy grain and has no psychological burden to drink.

Large quantity, high quality and low price!

Needless to say, from daimyo to samurai, the amount of money spent on drinking was not small.

Drinking is good, ancient and modern sages are lonely, only the drinker leaves his name, drinking is far more exciting than drinking tea, the key is that the country wants to drink wine to drown sorrows, there is this necessity, imported consumption of rum ranks first in the southeast, and countless small money is spent!

The Japanese people have a deep sense of crisis, the people of the small island, only feel that there is a crisis, a typhoon can reduce the country's grain production, a year's hard work is in vain--- the hard work of the Japanese people is not under the Han people, their land is more barren, only intensive cultivation can have yield, but the good wishes will not have good results, the typhoon is coming, swept away, the whole country is hungry, what is more desperate is that there is more than one typhoon every year!

Then there are volcanoes, earthquakes, and floods, and the Japanese people can't escape at all, and they can't sleep because they are so worried that they can get drunk and relieve their sorrows, so they can fall asleep.

The daimyos, nobles, ministers, and samurai drank pure rum, and the poor drank rum mixed with water, and everyone was drinking!

Cigarettes, which are essentially poisonous small sticks, even if the Chinese medicine of the Wa Kingdom has been recognized as a harmful substance, no one can sweep the whole Wa country.

Everyone is swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, in the curling smoke, a cigarette after dinner, happy like a fairy!

There are also spices, and there are all kinds of spices in the southeast, such as spices for eating, spices for the body, spices for lighting for reading.13 and spices for people not to use for themselves but not to save for worshipping the gods and Buddhas!

As well as all kinds of luxury goods, such as alarm clocks, the alarm clocks made in China are exquisite and accurate, and in turn exported to Europe, where the clockmaking industry went bankrupt, not to mention the Japanese country!

Air-conditioned room!

The use of windmills as bullet trains in air-conditioned rooms is a must for all daimyos, as long as there are wealthy Japanese people, everyone will use air-conditioned rooms to spend the hot summer.

And the carriage, don't look at it seems to have no scientific and technological content, but the shock absorbing springs and steering mechanisms have lost the European carriages, and there are leather sofas, which are very comfortable to sit on!

The vegetarian diet of the people of the Japanese country is not that everyone does not like to eat meat, but that the food is not enough for people to eat, how can they raise large livestock and use the skin of large livestock to make sofas!

There are countless large livestock in the southeast, and they have a vast area, and a mainland can let the people eat more meat than they can open a buffet restaurant, which is also unique in the world!

When many foreigners arrive in the southeast, the seasoned guys rush into the buffet restaurant to eat large chunks, and the novices are desperately saving up enough money to go to the buffet restaurant to have a good meal.

I don't know how many crooked nuts have been eaten with a mouth full of oil, including the Japanese people, everyone can't wait to be reincarnated in the southeast country in the next life!

The yachts of the southeast country are also the favorite of the rich people of the Japanese country, the carriage can not be happy due to the problem of road conditions, the luxury yacht is free to sail on the sea, the last general of the expedition Tokugawa Iyoshi has a full thirty-two yachts made by two China, the largest one is enough to be the size of a six-class cruiser, and the same is true for other Japanese rich people, and it is not a problem to own yachts.

Luxury yachts, the use of high-quality wood, the application of silver water tank ---, this is the only way to install 13, say you have money, you have a sterling silver water tank you are embarrassed to say that you have money!

……

Chinese commodities, hanging the world!

Only under Spain, you can buy Chinese goods with money, and you are deeply "poisoned" by Chinese goods.

The southeastern country, which is extremely rich in materials, is not poisoned by commodities, the main reason is that Yan Changwu led the army to fight in the south and the north, and constantly invested in development, so the people did not fall, how could the Japanese country have this condition, trapped on a small island, and did not rush to enjoy the shogunate magnates and samurai, when those outward names like "Yuyang Yang came agitatedly to break the neon clothes and feather songs" rebellion, the shogunate army was defeated, and even Kyoto was lost, and the Japanese emperor was robbed by the rebels!
