The shogunate planned to enrich the country and strengthen its army, but how did Naohide know about it?

Of course, someone told him - this person was Oguri Tadjun, the appointed minister of the shogunate.

Didn't it mean that there was something wrong with the relationship between Oguri and Naohide? The two seemed close but actually started to drift apart. Then why did Oguri write a letter to tell Naohide this important news?

The answer is simple, we can't be friends without quarreling.

Yes, in fact, the relationship between the two people not only started to become estranged, but could even be said to have serious differences. However, this difference was not due to personal emotional problems, but was caused by political differences. So quarrels are quarrels, and friends are friends.

The relationship between them is still relatively strong.

Although both of them now hold important positions, and the political alliance in their relationship has gradually outweighed the sympathies they had when they were young, but after experiencing so many things together, the friendship for many years is still there. Therefore, even though they are far apart,

The correspondence has continued uninterrupted for many years.

Moreover, Oguri did not directly leak this important news about the shogunate, but Naohide guessed it based on the contents of the letter.

There was a time in the past, because Mr. Egawa Tanan, Oguri Tadatsun, and Hide Naohide were close friends and they all loved orchidology. There were people who wanted to call them the "Three Swordsmen of Orchidology". But as time went on,

Naohide stayed in the Northland for a long time and gradually faded out of sight, and this nickname was gradually forgotten.

"There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames."

For some, especially those insulting nicknames, this sentence is definitely wrong, but when applied to the "Three Musketeers of Orchid Learning", it makes sense - in recent years, the three people have greatly contributed to the development of Fuso Orchid Learning.

Contributed to:

In recent years, some of the things Mr. Tanan has done are very famous, such as iron-making, building Shinagawa Daiba, steel-making, large barrel casting, and iron cannon making, but there are also some things that are not well-known, such as manufacturing machine tools and developing steam.

cans, improved agricultural tools, etc.

But no matter what, Mr. Jiangchuan, who has accumulated decades of experience, is the most famous.

At the same time, Oguri Tadashi’s reputation is not small:

From the time he and Mr. Tanan jointly wrote "A Summary of Agreements between Western Countries" in the sixth year of Kayei (1853), Oguri became famous for his proficiency in orchidology.

Next, in 1854, he participated in negotiations with the Lu people and the Mi people, and presided over the signing of the peace and marriage agreement with England. In 1858, he presided over the signing of the trade agreement with Lan Guo, rejecting the trade agreement conducted by Prussian businessmen pretending to be special envoys.

ask.

In addition, he had been involved in foreign trade for many years as a Nagasaki headfu, a Nagasaki headfu, and a Nagasaki priest, so he gradually gained prestige in Orchidology (Western theory).

However, compared with Mr. Tan'an's industrial reputation, his reputation is more focused on foreign affairs negotiations and trade.

As for Naohide, his reputation is not widely known, and he is quite suspected of being a member of the Three Musketeers.

In his early years, he wrote agricultural books, made medicine, relied on folk remedies to treat diseases, promoted rice-style windmills, made briquettes, made pozzolan cement, bricks, glass, cultivated pearls, and bred fine seeds. He did a lot of these things, but in addition to his agricultural achievements, because

For various reasons, it either needs to be kept secret, or it is not taken seriously. In short, it can be said that I am unlucky. I have done a lot but my reputation has never been great.

In fact, when Naohide returned to Fuso in 1849, he presented the shogunate with his painstakingly summarized Jianbai Letter, but because no one paid attention to it at the time, it has been forgotten now - all of his hard work has been fed to the dogs.

It was only in 1850 that Naohide was engaged in iron smelting, and Naohide was like a dog lifting the curtain - he showed a small amount of his face, but most ministers still believed that it was his mentor, Mr. Tanan, who gave him a reputation.

It was not until the two battles of White Lord in 1857 and 1858 that Naoxiu established a reputation for being knowledgeable about Western art of war. There was no way, although he usually urged himself to do so, everyone in Fuso knew that the seven traditional schools of art of war were probably It has become a gimmick, and it must not work. The only thing that can defeat the Westerners must be Western warfare.

It's sad and funny to say that, burdened by a "lowly" background, Fuso's upper class has always been unwilling to face up to Naohsiu's orchid learning talents, and in the end it was up to the Lucians to rectify his reputation!

Of course, "Lucia lost because he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly twice."

", there are many people who think this way, but with the disastrous defeat of the unlucky Harahakokan Hori Toshiki as a comparison, Naohide's reputation as a good fighter has been established - although some people later questioned it, thinking that it was due to the ability of his subordinates, Murata Nagatoshi This has become a sweet bean bag, but no matter what, it is still recognized by the ruling and opposition parties that "a straight show can fight".

But I don’t really want this famous reputation!

Why? Because the name is untrue.

Naohide himself estimated that despite studying hard, he could now command at most a company of later generations, that is, at most 150 men. Even with this, he could not say that he could command well.

In fact, because there is so much publicity in the forum of later generations, it is okay to pretend to be a strategist - in fact, it is more likely that he is also a fake.

But whether it was the first battle of White Lord or the two battles of Miaotun that were unknown to the shogunate, according to their scale, they were all tactical battles. Among them, Naohide was just a paper sign, and the real detailed command had nothing to do with him. big.

Therefore, the reputation of "knowledge of Western art of war" is a bad one.

Naohide himself felt that he belonged to the group of people who made miracles by flying big bricks - although his fighting skills were weak, he was still good at economics~ ok?

In the final analysis, heroes all over the world have clearly analyzed Fuso's response after the founding of the country and trade, as well as the political gains and losses after the Restoration. As a quite active member of them, what I should do is to make everyone eat well. , drink well, live a good life, and then beat the robbers with advanced weapons, so Naohide was extremely dissatisfied with Oguri Tadashi - Oguri showed an innocent smile.

If you're unhappy, Naoxiu, what does it have to do with Oli?

This is a big deal!

As a good friend, you became the entrusted official in the fifth year of Anzheng (1858). I ask you, do you dare to agree? "Have you read carefully the legends of the second year of Jiayong (1849)?!"

In fact, Oguri Tadashi not only read it at the time, but now also has someone painstakingly copy a copy for study.

However, Naohide had a flaw in his life. He has corrected it now due to too much wind and frost in the North, but what bad flaw he had in 1849 is still there, so his storytellers back then deserved no one to pay attention to him - this stinky The problem is that the details are not appropriate.

This is not to say that Feng Shushu is not informative. There is a lot of Western history alone, especially those involving Fuso, which are even more grand. But the bad thing is that it is too long!

When the history of the West is finished, what is left is industrial development - organizational changes. Zhi Xiu did not dare to write about it. Going overseas secretly is a crime of beheading. If you should touch a fly with the tiger's butt, isn't this a longevity man who hangs himself to die?

Regarding the development of this industry, Zhi Xiu quoted extensively and wrote tens of thousands of words eloquently. I felt that I still had more to say, but who could read it?

In fact, Naohide felt that it might be better to divide the Feng Shushu into several volumes at that time - in fact, Naoxiu's Feng Shushu was jokingly called "Seven Lucky Gods Riding on a Boat" by someone at the time, which meant that just like the New Year custom, pick up this book and read it.

I felt sleepy after just a few glances. I slept so sweetly that I had no dreams until dawn.

What's even more deceiving is that Naohide's calligraphy is not good and his writing habits are not very correct. Of course, no one can read this long and smelly story - who are you?

After reading this, I realize that even if I am a good person, I cannot embarrass others like this.

Of course, Naohide has always blamed the lack of punctuation at this time, "This is the main problem."

However, he himself also knew that improper details and layout were not the main reasons. There were still two main reasons:

One is that Fuso was still relatively peaceful at that time, the shogunate had no urgency, and he was nameless, let alone a victim of crime, so who was willing to take a closer look;

The other is that he is too professional and does not have a certain foundation in Western academics. Let alone understanding, it is difficult to even understand. And in order to avoid irritating the spirit of ministers, I dare not cheer loudly for Western, so I can only list the data.

This is even more noisy and tasteless.

All in all, it was natural that my storytellers were not taken seriously at that time.

Afterwards, I was sent to Jiushan, and when I communicated with Mr. Tan'an and his son, I discovered that Feng Storytelling had committed a taboo of being too hasty.

But now I show this

This problem has long been eliminated - I am still an environmental educator.

He arrived in Baichu in 1850, and in 1851 he was thinking about what he could do.

At that time, he was very conscious and felt that the conditions for building an iron smelting station were not yet mature. There was a small coal mine nearby, and steam engines and machine tools were also shipped through Xianheng Shipping. He thought he should set up a machining headquarters.

But tragedy!

The students I teach usually do well in Lanxue, and at least elementary mathematics is good enough. But who knows, there is a gap between theory and practice.

Fortunately, I had people bring back detailed operating manuals from factories in the United States, and I also practiced them overseas. But even so, it was not until 1853 that Master Bai could mass-produce qualified flintlock muskets. In 1852, he returned to Fuso, and then

Gakujiro Nakamura, who was in charge of this matter, smiled and said nothing.

After that, Naohide also gave up on this idea. He had nothing to do, so he should take care of food, drink, housing and transportation first. The mechanical processing and even the subsequent industrialization would be decided after the children from the rural school had completed their studies.

Finally, after seven years of hard work, Master Bai built the first Napoleon bronze smoothbore cannon in 1857. The Niushan Iron Works under Mr. Tanan built the first Napoleon cannon in 1854. Naohide said embarrassedly.

Admit it, he specially sent people to study.

It was not until 1858 that the White Master was able to mass-produce Minie muzzle-loading guns. This was not a process problem, but a market problem. The White Master could outsource better ordnance, but there were few industrial workers, and they were all busy with the mines in 1857.

project and the rifled muzzleloader project of 1858.

It's funny to say that Bai Zhu's rifled guns, rifled cannons, and breech-loaded guns were successfully imitated in the same year - although the difficulty of these three items is not the same.

After all, Baidu has outsourcing channels, so industrial development is constrained by the number of educated people.

In 1853, the population of Bai Zhu was 2861, of which there were less than 800 Fusang people, and the rest were Ainu and Yuanhezhe people - of course, it didn't matter who they were, since most of them had been literate for less than 3 years.

But by the end of 1858, the White Lord's subjects had reached more than 24,000 people, and more than 1,000 real industrial workers had been trained. Finally, he had some confidence.

From 1853 to 1858, Master Bai’s accumulated investment in education was equivalent to 218,000 small deposits of natural protection.

Although not all the money is spent on industrial workers, there is no doubt that these more than 1,000 industrial workers are the greatest educational achievement.

Although the calculation is not so simple, children are the future, and the investment made in the past year will not be able to bear fruit in that year, but to make a comparison, it is equivalent to more than 200 small deposits to educate an industrial worker.

According to this calculation, if we want to train one million industrial workers, the Zhixiu line will cost 200 million pounds, which is equivalent to about 160 million pounds in pounds at this time. In 1840, the British fiscal revenue was about 52 million pounds, which is equivalent to the world's number one

The three-year total of fiscal revenue of a strong country!

There are big problems with the algorithm, but it can definitely be proved from the side. If you want to achieve industrialization overnight, it is really beautiful to look at and even more beautiful to think about!

It is understandable that since there are few people in Naoxiu's group and their foundation is weak, it is always extremely difficult at the beginning.

But in comparison, the shogunate with strong people and horses is better than the conditions in the north.

In 1849, Zhixiu came back to Fuso to donate his family property. In 1850, Xianheng Foreign Company presented treasures for the second time. In 1851, it began to help the shogunate with both technology and wealth. By 1859 this year, a full ten years have passed. Has Fuso changed?

There are definitely changes, but the progress is pitiful. Isn’t this a joke? Tossing the relationship so hard is like wearing new shoes and walking the same old road!

In 1859, the Xianheng Company left without saying goodbye. The fundamental reason was that the high risks of secret trade could no longer be tolerated. Anyway, Fusang opened up to foreign trade this year. If you really want to cheer up, you have to find your own way - if you want to ruin it, you are really doing your own thing.

As the appointee in charge of the shogunate's financial power, Oguri Tadjun previously revealed that the shogunate would implement a big plan to enrich the country and strengthen its army. The day has finally come, but can the shogunate do it? Naohide has been disappointed for so long and is very doubtful about this.
Chapter completed!
