The disappearance of Xingzi caused a great shock in Kyoto, and Masahito, who had just been successfully restored, sent people to look around, but Xingzi disappeared as if out of thin air.

At this time, Japan was in turmoil, and compared with the overall situation, Xingzi's disappearance was not so important, so Masahito actually didn't put much effort into finding Xingzi.

He began to be busy organizing forces to purge the officials installed by the Tokugawa shogunate in the Kyoto court, and at the same time actively sent people to Sekigahara to convey the decree that the "Sekigahara shogun" should enter Beijing from Imasayuki for an audience.

It's just that Masahito didn't realize that the current turbulent situation in Japan seemed to be a good opportunity for him to regain the military and political forces, but in fact, this qiē chaos was actually in the hands of an invisible big hand.

It's just that this hand is so big, so big that you can't see its storage, but when it tightens, you are powerless to struggle, and there is nowhere to escape.

On the Edo side, with the entry of the Qin army, the rebellion of Musashi and Shimono was pacified in only six days, which made the Tokugawa shogunate, which was almost on the verge of collapse, win back a lot of prestige at once.

Some of the daimyo of the feudal kingdoms were already in the mood for rebellion, but with the rapid pacification of the rebellion of the three feudal domains, these daimyo seemed to have been poured cold water on their heads, and some of them were good at seeing the wind and steering, and without the shogunate's orders, they took the initiative to send troops to help the Tokugawa shogunate fight, and the shape suddenly became beneficial to the shogunate.

In order to stabilize the crumbling situation, Sakai Tadashi and the others agreed to lease sixty miles of land around Yokosuka to the Qin State to build a port garrison, which was forced to form a helpless move, they were not fools, and they knew what this meant.

Especially in the process of quelling the rebellion of the three feudatories, the weapons used by the Qin army were so powerful that they were simply terrifying.

With such an amazing weapon in hand, the Qin army even if it was only two or three hundred troops stationed in Yokosuka. It was enough to choke the gate of Edo Castle and pose a powerful threat to the Tokugawa shogunate.

Masayuki Hoshina, Tadashi Sakai, Nobutsuna Matsudaira, and Nobuyoshi Matsudaira urgently discussed this matter, but they really couldn't think of any good plan.

The shape had just improved, and at this time the shogunate could not do without the support of the Qin state, and if it was immediately repented, the consequences would never be something that the Tokugawa shogunate could bear.

However, several people knew that if they did not redeem Yokosuka while the Qin State had not yet started construction of the port, the throat of the Tokugawa shogunate would be pinched in the hands of the Qin State forever in the future.

A few people discussed and discussed, and felt that it would definitely not work to be strong. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to take out one million taels of silver to redeem the land of Yokosuka from the Qin State.

Sakai Tadashi was duty-bound and personally rushed to the Great Qin Embassy in Edo to talk to Wei Zhengdao about the matter.

Wei Zhengdao, who has always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but "Bang!" when he heard Sakai Tadashi Daodao's intentions clear. A palm slammed on the table, shaking the teacups on the table.

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again. The look on his face had calmed down.

It's just that the palm just now has already tightened Sakai Tadashi's heart, he doesn't think that Wei Zhengdao suppressed his anger, and things will take a turn.

"Elder. Can I still trust you, the Tokugawa shogunate? ”

"Why did Ambassador Wei say this, I did not come this time to regret my agreement, but just to discuss with Ambassador Wei. Hopefully, we can be a little more flexible, and we are willing to give 500,000 silver as compensation."

"Elder. If the credibility of the Tokugawa shogunate was only worth 500,000 taels of silver, don't you think it's a very sad thing? ”

Sakai Tadashi was very embarrassed, Wei Zhengdao's words, at first glance, sounded gentle and elegant, but invisibly it was like a slap in the face, making his face hot.

At the same time, Wei Zhengdao also cleverly sealed his possibility of bargaining, because whether you give 500,000 taels or 1 million taels, your credibility can be measured by money.

"The elder must have read "Zhuangzi", which contains the chapter of stealing feet: the tail life and the woman are under the beam, the woman does not come, the water does not go, and she hugs the beam and dies."

After listening to this, Sakai Tadakatsu stopped mentioning the matter of Yokosuka Port, got up and bowed to Wei Zhengdao and said, "Excuse me, please bear with Ambassador Wei." ”

Strictly speaking, when the agreement was signed, the Qin State did not force him, let alone the Tokugawa shogunate, which made a decision after careful deliberation.

Now that the ink of the agreement has not dried, and the improvement of the shape is also due to the fact that the Qin army participated in the war, and the attitude of Wei Zhengdao has been discovered, what else can Sakai Tadashi say?

The 100 marines led by Zhang Feng, the head of the 100 general, have become a little nervous since they came back from exploring the inland of Nanhuazhou, and some of them are even clamoring to return to Daqin, which makes Wang Guichen both headache and distress.

According to Zhang Feng and others, after they entered the inland, they traveled all the way, and there were all kinds of strange things, such as seeing dozens of antelopes jumping off the cliff en masse and dying.

There are also beautiful ones, such as seeing millions of butterflies covering the entire mountain, flying all over the sky, and collectively changing into various shapes.

In a hoof-shaped mountain, when a ghost cry was heard at night, Zhang Feng and the others were bold enough to look for it together, but there was nothing.

And in the end, what made Zhang Feng and the hundred of them nervous was a kind of cloud, and when they talked about this kind of cloud, Zhang Feng's pupils would unconsciously dilate.

It was a huge tubular cloud, like a tube, like the body of a dragon, and they were very, very long, so long that they could not be seen, and there were as many as six of them, and they were very neatly arranged, secret and strange, and they kept rolling together in the sky, and the scene was thrilling;

You can't see what's inside the dense clouds, but Zhang Feng and others believe that there is something hidden in the tubular clouds, which are constantly tumbling and pressing over their heads, moving as fast as a galloping horse.

Zhang Feng and the others really didn't know how long it was, because they were standing on the top of the mountain, holding a telescope, and they couldn't see the end of both sides of this kind of tube cloud.

That also means that the monster hidden in this kind of tube cloud is extremely long, and it makes people feel palpitations when they think about it.

There will be no falsehood in this matter, Zhang Feng and them are a full hundred people, and their words are conclusive, and everyone's statement is basically the same, which makes all the soldiers of the Qin army a little frightened.

No matter how strong the enemy is, they will not be afraid, but in the face of this strange phenomenon beyond their cognition, it makes everyone feel a sense of powerlessness and horror.

On this day, Mo Liang was asking Zhang Feng about this again, and his voice was unconsciously low, as if he was afraid that the ghost would hear it: "Lao Zhang, why didn't you shoot at that time, if you shoot a few shots, you may be able to see what is in Guan Yun." ”

Zhang Feng shook his head and said: "You didn't see it, you don't know, it's too hard to believe, it's you, do you dare to shoot?" ”

Mo Liang thought about it, maybe, it was himself He just thought of this, and suddenly there was a pain in his buttocks, and his whole body flew out, and he fell and ate a fart.

He was about to open his mouth to scold, but Wang Guichen's angry roar came from behind him: "Damn, whoever dares to talk about this matter in the future, I will kill him!" Isn't it just a few clouds, damn it, big man, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of a few clouds of him! ”

Wu Yue hurried over, pulled the angry Wang Guichen aside and said: "Old Wang, it's not a way to get angry just like this, look at everyone, this state, if it goes on like this, it is estimated that they will all go back." ”

Wang Guichen's pair of inverted eyebrows jumped straight, if he was really frightened by a few pipe clouds and fled back, would he still have the face to see people in the future? But no matter what you say about this kind of thing, there is still a shadow in the hearts of the soldiers, and everyone's hearts are like pressing a big stone.

"Lao Wu, you are a scholar, what can you do?"

Isn't this nonsense, if there is a way, Wu Yue would have thought about it earlier.

Looking at the natives on the dock who were working hard to move stones, Wu Yue's heart suddenly moved and said: "Lao Wang, let's find a few natives to ask if they have seen this strange thing before, if they have seen it, it will be easy to do." ”

"What's so easy?"

"Lao Wang, are you also scared stupid, if the natives have also seen this strange thing, but they are still alive and well, then what are we afraid of it doing?"

"Yes, yes, let's ask, but we don't understand the language, I'm afraid it's hard to ask about such a thing, Lao Wu drew what kind of monster to make the natives see more intuitively, so that they won't be mistaken."

"Okay, I'll go paint."
