The reason why the shogunate gave up the advanced Manchurian-style equipment and turned to French-style equipment was not because they had a bad brain and did not understand the advanced equipment, but because the French, who were interested in getting a piece of the pie in Japan, had more after-sales services in place. Although the Manchurian arms dealers headed by Boss Wang also have a strong government background, they are still individual traders in the name of outsiders. So Boss Wang and his gang only sell guns and cannons, and after buying their things, they don't care about anything unless they return them. The French, on the other hand, were able to provide complete training and the tactics of warfare to which their weapons were applied. The shogunate also turned the army into a modern army in order to develop and build it into a modern army.

Although the shogunate only used Manchurian-style equipment for a short period of time, and all of them were returned, which was only equivalent to a period of lend-lease use, the Japanese still had a deep understanding of the advanced Manchurian-style equipment. Niwa Nagakuni and the others had not seen Manchurian equipment with their own eyes, but they had seen Keisuke Otori's training team, and they still had a certain understanding of the equipment of the French.

Keisuke Otori was the army of the shogunate, and he was a rare loyal minister in troubled times, and Tokugawa Keiki surrendered, and he still insisted on fighting for the shogunate. Keisuke Otori brought out the training team from Edo was also the last elite of the shogunate army, Ichisui's all-French equipment, and it also received very formal French training. The training team was established by Keisuke Otori with the assistance of the French military delegation to Japan, and recruited soldiers mainly from among the townspeople, and trained and fought under completely French military rules. At first, it was equipped with a rifled Migne rifle, and later it was replaced with a French-style snuffbox rifle, which is the French version of the Schneider rifle. Although there were only 3,000 people, it was the strongest combat force of the shogunate.

However, Keisuke Otori has a very high military literacy, but his actual command ability is very poor, and he has a group of strong soldiers who perform eye-catching everywhere, but he has never won a battle. Keisuke Otori still adheres to the spirit of loyalty and participation, and is currently serving under the Aizu Domain, and is still playing his part for the shogunate.

Because they are also part of the Ou Domain Alliance, Niwa Nagakuni and others have seen the training team, and they have also paid attention to the equipment of the training team. So today, after Boss Wang showed his gift, the damage of the comparison was reflected, although it is not clear about the actual combat situation, but only in terms of workmanship, appearance, and machine precision, the equipment of the training team is far worse than the Manchurian equipment.

"Mr. Wang is drunk, I am getting married today, how can I use guns as a congratulatory gift. And in a few days, we will return to Manchuria, what is the use of you sending me these guns? Possession of arms is illegal, how can I bring these things back! In Niwa Nagaku's eager eyes, Asano Munehide refused this generous gift without hesitation.

Asano is not a fool, of course he knows what Wang Zifu's intentions are in sending him these equipment, but he doesn't want to mix these things, let alone send death to his hometown. The Nihonmatsu Domain was only a small domain of 30,000 koku, and not only could not influence the development of the current situation, but also did not have the ability to withstand the flames of war. Staying in the Nihonmatsu Domain will only cause killing and disaster for the fathers and elders of Asano's hometown.

"The vacation of the head of the Asano division is very short, and he will return to Manchuria in the near future, so Boss Wang's business should go to someone else and talk slowly!" The black-clothed young man who had been standing in the crowd like a pro-soldier also said a word.

"I'm drunk, drunk! Hahaha...... "After Asano refused, Boss Wang was still ready to lure him and communicate well, maybe there would be relief." But before he could speak, he suddenly heard a particularly discordant voice, Boss Wang raised his eyebrows, and he was ready to write down this bastard guy, and then go back to China to find the boss to avenge himself. However, after seeing the uniform of the other party's miscellaneous department, Wang Zifu immediately adjusted his emotions, and almost slapped himself a few more times.

Boss Wang stopped talking, and after pouring himself wine, Niwa jumped out as soon as he learned. From the beginning of the Nihonmatsu clan of the Niwa clan, he popularized the history of the domain for Asano Munehide, and explained in detail the kindness of the previous feudal lords to the Asano family, hoping that this nouveau riche could pull the former lord a hand. If Asano can take his guard of more than 500 people and fight directly for the Nihonmatsu Domain, it is really not good, and he has to leave Boss Wang's arms to the Nihonmatsu Domain.

If Asano can call the shots, he really has the heart to be loyal to the lord of the domain, but he still has a living father standing behind him. The miscellaneous department had sent quite a few people over to watch them, and they were all on the surface. Before leaving, Tal repeatedly told Asano that after arriving in Japan, he must move within the scope allowed by the Miscellaneous Affairs Division, and don't offend these masters. Asano, who has been in Northern Manchurian for many years, also knows that the Miscellaneous Affairs Department is a group of guys who are more powerful than the gods, and they are only responsible for Guo Xing'a. Their meaning in the place can often represent the meaning of Goxinga, and Asano can't go against the new boss for the sake of the old owner.

Therefore, Niwa Ichigaku almost spat lotus flowers, and Asano Sohide just said that he would leave in two days, and he would not say anything about the affairs of the Nihonmatsu Domain. In the matter of arms, even if you don't need Asano's help, Boss Wang has the intention of selling it. But just now, the words of the young man in the miscellaneous department almost scared Boss Wang to death, and Boss Wang had already poured himself unconscious within a few minutes, and naturally there was no way to talk about the arms again.

In the face of Asano, who doesn't miss the old love at all, Niwa can only return in vain. After Asano's wedding banquet ended, Niwa Nagakuni and Niwa learned and returned to Neiguo Castle in a huff, and as soon as he entered the city, he received extremely terrifying bad news. After the new government army captured the Tanakura Domain and the Hejo Castle Domain, they finally captured Shirakawa Castle, which had been fighting hard for a long time, and the weak-willed Miharu Domain actually surrendered to the new government army, and became the pioneer of the new government army, and had already gone straight to Nihonmatsu to kill him.

Niwa Ichigaku accurately judged the movements of the new government army, but it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how accurate her judgment was, it was in vain, and the Nihonmatsu Domain was already out of soldiers. Because he had poured all his strength into Shirakawa Castle before, there were now less than 100 feudal soldiers left behind by the Nihonmatsu Domain, and he was absolutely unable to face the new government army.

"Please move the lord!" Niwa Kachigaku calmly said the words that made Niwa Nagakuni run away.

"We can submit too!" Niwa Nagakuni also knew that Nihonmatsu was no longer capable of fighting.

"Lord, the Nihonmatsu Domain is a small domain, but our Nihonmatsu Domain has the ambition of our Nihonmatsu Domain, and the samurai should be broken jade, not a tile, and the time for the final battle has come!" Niwa was still calm.

"Old, please!" Niwa Nagakuni didn't say anything more.

Niwa Chokuni, the lord of the Nihonmatsu Domain, fled to Yonezawa, and the elder Niwa Ichigaku issued an order to die, and every samurai of the Nihonmatsu Domain, who was over 60 years old and children over 12 years old, received the order to fight to the death. Erben Song Domain, I'd rather die than surrender!
