In fact, Naohide knew that even though he was starting from scratch, there were still many people in the White House line who had new ideas, especially those who came to the Northland as adults, and were quite afraid of the shogunate - the so-called "bad things are all traitors"

"You did it, the master was just inattentive and was deceived." Both the East and the West played this trick very smoothly.

Really, Naoxiu was also puzzled. This food was eaten by everyone, and the clothes on his body were all obtained by everyone's hard work and callous hands. Why do you thank others? Even if you are grateful, there must be a justifiable reason.

As a result, when I asked him, his nose was so hung up that he was not angry - many people in the area said in unison that if it is good for your lord to implement good governance, then the shogunate who appointed your lord must also be good.

This change in people's hearts is really not something that can be accomplished in a day.

Fortunately, relying on the enlightenment political education of rural schools and the election system that has been implemented for many years, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. In addition, many immigrants have complained that the people in Fusang have been struggling to make ends meet recently. This generation of "wolf-hearted" people has fallen into disrepute and abandoned their relatives.

situation.

But Hakodate Mefuhori Toshihi is different. He was born in Otanahata, and he has been favored by the shogunate since he was a child. He will definitely not be able to change easily.

So after the Battle of Aihun, in early June 1860, Hori Toshiki, who returned to Hakodate, came to question Naohide:

"It is said that with great power comes great responsibility. How can you hide so much strength? Are you doing human affairs by digging through the bottom of the bowl after dinner?"

This embarrassed Jiangchuan Yingmin who came with him. Isn't this just Jiang Qian stealing books? Stealing chickens is a waste of money. No, this is going to destroy the whole pot.

Naohide was not in a hurry. He had no personal enmity with the shogunate, and he did not want to be a general who conquered the barbarians. What he did could not be said to be public-spirited, but it was also an Italian fusang. There was nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, the difficulty of modernization is a

Wave after wave, one wave after another, no moth can appear, and if people are willing to come to question, it is to give face and show that there is still a chance to reason.

Taking this opportunity, Naohide gathered many talents and gathered all the backbones of his lineage, including Takeda Hizaburo and other people who had taken refuge in the original Hakodate administration. They were all transported to Toyohara in the northern Ezo land.

This is the industrial base that Naohide spent ten years building - you built it? In response to this, Gakujiro and others smiled and said nothing.

Let’s talk about it after the visit, what should we do in the future?

At that time, the total population of Kita Ezo was less than 40,000, but Toyohara alone accounted for more than 30,000. This place is the hard work and foundation of the Naohide lineage. Normally, no casual people are allowed to approach, and it is extremely mysterious.

So what secret does Fengyuan have?

Technical schools, high schools, universities, ordnance factories and various research institutes.

Children of ordinary residents can complete primary education in rural schools in various places, and then those with excellent grades can go to junior high school. Most of these are completed outside Fengyuan. But if you want to go further, you have to go to Fengyuan, and high school

After finishing my studies, I was forced to study abroad for three years, and I couldn't even escape.

The White Lord Agency was established at the end of 1850. It takes five plus two plus two years to complete high school from elementary school to high school. Therefore, there are not many students in this high school, but there are many people in technical schools with the same academic level as junior high schools - because adults also

You can go.

As for universities, they are completely empty. They are just people who have returned from studying abroad in recent years to do research in them, and even continue to learn from each other. In the past few years, there was a severe shortage of talents, and outstanding talents who had completed elementary school were sent to study abroad.

I just saved some money,

Otherwise, we have to win over Hakodate Mefuhori Toshihi. Now that the students of this technical school have spread out, it is too difficult to continue to hide it - it is possible to fool outsiders, but forget about fooling the insiders.

As for the Ordnance Institute, its output in 1859 was 7,000 flintlock muskets, 200 miniguns, 50 breech-loaded guns, 50 Napoleon cannons, 10 rifled and breech-loaded cannons, 50 mines, and 40 machine guns. During the same period, it was still

Carry out the development of steamships and torpedoes - the shipyard is in Soya, but the research institute and factory are in Fengyuan.

Although the shogunate's ordnance manufacturing was kept secret, the

Experts can also estimate that Fengyuan Ordnance Factory must have surpassed the shogunate's iron smelting factory now - the quantity is hard to say, but the quality is there. I haven't heard the introduction. This breech-loading gun is the world's leading, and the machine gun is even more Scorpion

Daddy is the only one (poisonous).

In addition to ordnance, various research institutes are also developing various types of machinery such as agricultural tools, textile machines, and steam engines. They are also involved in agronomy, breeding, coal chemical industry, electricity, internal combustion engines, cosmetics, medicine, and petrochemical industry. This is the first time.

The second industrial revolution is mixed together, and there is no one left.

This is the first time that Naohide's family has made the inside story public. Many key members who are not directly related have only been informed at the annual meeting. This time, they are all excited to see so many new things with their own eyes. As for Hori

Not to mention Xi and others, where is this, who am I, and what happened?

But then, Nakamura Gakujiro (Toyohara Industrial Director and Academic Leader) and Shima Danemon (Toyohara Town Executive) who were in charge of all this began to complain, saying that it was now unsustainable.

"This is not possible. What's wrong with it? Give me what I need." Everyone clapped their chests and expressed their full support.

But when they learned the inside story, everyone was dumbfounded.

It turns out that Beidi's family is so thin that they will soon be out of money for this extra business - in fact, not only are their arms bare, but even their backs are exposed. There is not enough money and not enough talents. If you wait for Beidi's magical skills to be completed, you will be able to

On that day, I'm afraid Fusang would have turned into a mulberry field.

Hearing this, everyone understood that the Northland was now stuck at a critical juncture. The sea and the sky would be brighter if they could get past it. But if they couldn't get past it, I'm afraid it would end here - not to say decline, but there was no way to escape mediocrity.

Although peace and security are the blessings, Fusang is like a bird now. Westerners are advancing step by step outside, and the small imperial court in Kyoto is jumping up and down. Qi Zhao and his family are ready to make a move, and they may start a fight one day. I can't see it.

I can't bear to hope, but I still have to work hard to have a great future.

Everyone discussed and discussed, but there was only one solution, and that was to "make it public" - it was not that Hakodate handed over all his wealth to the shogunate, but that he engaged in fund-raising, technology diffusion and talent introduction:

As for raising funds, after these few years, everyone has clearly understood that the shogunate is not interested in anything else except ordnance. How many pounds have been drunk to raise funds with the shogunate? Therefore, if you are short of money, you can only unite wealthy businessmen from various places or all the vassals.

Working on a project;

Technology diffusion is simpler, just sell the results directly, but the key point is that Fuso has no patent law, so how to collect money back is quite knowledgeable;

As for the introduction of talents, it is natural to increase the promotion of Atlantic academics. Even if the shogunate and the talents from various vassals cannot be attracted, there will always be missing talents from the private sector. Wouldn't this bring in fresh water?

But here comes the problem. As beautiful as you think, this Hakodate is still the territory of the shogunate. Can you do whatever you want in Edo? I'm afraid not.

"Why not?"

Hori Xi couldn't bear it and jumped out.

After reading everything, he had to admit that the shogunate had made progress over the years, but he could not take off the label of "vegetarian meals with corpses".

Moreover, he had run the Hakodate Iron Works himself and had a good understanding of the industry. He knew that if Shiro really handed over everything to the shogunate, this problem would definitely happen overnight - splitting up the Nirayama Iron Works.

A large number of people and equipment were diverted to Yushima Gun Foundry, Yokohama Iron Works and Ishikawajima Shipyard. Whoever has eyes and ears doesn't know what happened in the past two years.

As for the reason behind it, he knew that it was the factor of governance. It was really cheating to determine the superiority based on family lintel. It would be strange to let people who don’t know the job but know how to be an official to take charge of the affairs. But he himself came from the shogunate.

Hatamoto, you can’t turn against yourself.

Therefore, Hori Toshi thinks that this method of "raising funds, spreading technology and introducing talents" is very good. The shogunate can get immediate benefits without affecting the development of Hakodate. It is the best of both worlds.

After all, when Naohide was wooing him, Horihi thought that he would do something outrageous if he wanted to die.

That's all, but he didn't expect that there was a cow behind the rope, which made him hesitate. He didn't object to the development of Orchid Studies, compulsory education, or even the recruitment of soldiers for all people, but it was not okay to have evil intentions - he had been well-off and well-off since he was a child, and his family was well-off.

Noble, in the final analysis, the shogunate had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, Hakodate decided to "make the private collection public", and he was the most approving of it.

With Hori Toshihi's instigation and the fact that most people did not object, everyone finally decided to apply to the shogunate to establish a foreign school in Hakodate and expand the Hakodate ironworks, and transfer the achievements of Toyohara there step by step -

- It is obviously impossible to make it completely public. We want Edo to know what Mr. Shiro has done in these years, and we can't chew the Naohide series raw in soy sauce.

On March 18, the seventh year of Anzheng (April 8, 1860), Fusang changed its name to "Wanyan".

In July of that year, Horihixi accompanied Naohide back to Edo to report on his work.

Naohide was the chief minister of Hakodate who took over in August of the fifth year of Ansei (1858). It has been two years now and he must return to Edo to pay his respects.

On the ship, Hori Toshi was so beautiful, because Naohide told him that he would resign on his return to Edo this time, and he would recommend Hori Toshi to take over the post of Hakodate.

It’s not that Hori Toshi wants to be an official, he understands that Okubo and Horishigao (the changed name of Nakamura Gakujiro) are better than him based on ability, and Egawa Hidetoshi is more suitable based on merit, but Naohide’s move is undoubtedly solid.

He found out that he had no rebellious intentions, which effectively proved that the saying "stealing the stove when forced to do so" was true. This was the reason why he was happy.

He has thought about it, and will explain to the big guys, "Naohide has done a good job, so don't replace people randomly." Even if Edo insists on replacing people, he will recommend Hidetoshi to take over; if he is really allowed to do it, he will do it.

I had no choice but to follow Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, in any case, I would slowly clear up my innocence, and we couldn't let Naohsiu and others have no end for their hard work.

After all, this Horihi has a smooth life, but he doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister.

He is the youngest son. His three older brothers all passed away early, so his parents cherished him very much. He entered the officialdom very late, at the age of forty-three this year, but he has only served as the head of the small surname group, the royal head, and the Matsumae Oyo (inspector).

Then I worked as a hakodist for more than three years and as a hakodist for two years.

The only setback he suffered in his official career was that he was severely beaten by Lucia and was demoted to Hakodate Metsuke, but Naohide and Hidetoshi have always been respectful to him.

Therefore, Hori Hexi really doesn't know how devious people's hearts can be.

In fact, for such a big thing as resigning, how could Naohide not inform his confidants and partners?

At that time, everyone objected, "Well done, the shogunate didn't say anything, why should I resign?" Only Okubo smiled slightly, and Nakahama Manjiro was thoughtful.

"I'll take a step back. Wouldn't it be natural for this Hakodate to be completely cleansed?"

Naohide insisted on the reason of clearing his name, and finally everyone agreed, "Of course it is best not to move. But if it has to be moved, Egawa Hidetoshi must take over. The last, last, last, and last, then Hori Toshihi." At the same time, Hakodate’s delivery is tight inside and outside, so be prepared for emergencies.”

To be honest, Naohide really didn’t completely deceive Hori and everyone:

Wouldn't it be great if the shogunate could turn a blind eye in the future, let Hakodate's past actions go lightly, and even learn from Hakodate's experience to fundamentally eliminate the shortcomings - why does innovation have to involve bloodshed?

But this daydream was too beautiful to be true, so Naohsiu's idea was actually to advance before retreating.

Naohide took the initiative to delegate power. If this gesture was taken, then the shogunate should be more tolerant - Egawa Hidetoshi is unlikely, but there is a 89% certainty that Hori Toshihiro will be reinstated.

After this, Hakodate will be able to survive for another two or three years. With the buffer of these two or three years, the Northland will surely become stronger. In the final analysis, God Gou is the right way.

As for the shogunate not agreeing, that is impossible!
