Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 75

To tell the truth, the relationship between Nissin at this time is actually not bad, or it can be said more bluntly, it is about equal to nothing.

The so-called Emperor Kangxi on the Internet said, “The country of Wa Zi is the most capricious country. Its people are very humble, they don’t know there is kindness in the world, but they are only blindly intimidated by Wuwei… Therefore, you must not have any good colors for them.” bullshit, it’s just a rumor.

After checking Kangxi’s daily life notes and records, there is no such remarks. Kangxi had to say that he didn’t have to run away because of his high self-esteem. As far as his temper was concerned, Japan might not catch his eye, let alone a long-winded talk to label a small country that was not in the mainstream at all.

Furthermore, compared to blond, blue-eyed, or red-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, Japanese who look completely East Asian are psychologically easier to accept.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Historically, until the Sino-Japanese War, the relationship between the two countries was not so bad. A large number of international students also went to Japan to study, and some people in the DPRK and China also proposed to imitate Japan’s so-called monarchy system and carry out reforms.

Therefore, the Qing court felt that there was nothing inappropriate about going to Japan to study sailors and other items. After all, it is more important to master a military force belonging to the Manchus, and other things can be slowed down a little.

Even if there is no such thing, in a few years, the Qing court will send overseas students to the United States to learn all kinds of advanced knowledge and try to master the barbarians’ skills to control barbarians.

Come on, come on.

So he sent a team leader to Edo, who was actually a military and political official set up by the Qing court in the Western Regions, and was not a diplomatic post in itself. However, the Manchus themselves were not very good at diplomacy, and it was the first time that they sent people abroad. They were still students of the Eight Banners Jiangnan Naval Division who were in the military. In the end, they appointed a team leader to supervise.

In fact, the leader of the team was a little reluctant. His name was Jinglian, 1824-1885, Yan Zha’s family. In the second year of Xianfeng, Jinshi was moved from the editor to the cabinet bachelor.

The former counselor and minister of Ye Erqiang, because of his diplomatic experience to some extent, happened to be dismissed in the second year of Tongzhi due to some incidents, so he was picked up by Wen Xiang. The Eight Banners of Manchuria who were able to become jinshi were basically in the pockets of the upper-level rulers of Manchuria. This Jinglian and Wenxiang had the intention to make good use of them, and that was why they were sent to Edo.

As for the more than 40 students, they were all recruited from the Eight Banners Jiangnan Naval Division. They were all from Sauron, Mongolia, Ningguta Eight Banners, and Shengjing Eight Banners. Dolonga had the intention to bring a good soldier to his emperor, and he naturally chose all the good ones.

Jing Lian personally came to meet the Japanese king, Chuemon. He was thinking about whether to kowtow or something, but when he saw Chuemon asked him to sit directly opposite him for afternoon tea, his heart was full of loyalty. Eemon had two relatively conflicting evaluations.

The first is to respect him, a minister sent by the emperor of Shangbang, without him needing to bow down and salute, and to be on an equal footing with him. Second, the Japanese king was so ignorant of etiquette that he didn’t even need to bend down and bow.

Thinking like this in his heart, he would definitely not dare to say it on the face, Jing Lian carefully took out the official document of the Prime Minister’s yamen, and handed it to Chuyouemon, hoping that Chuyouemon would read forty for the sake of friendship between the two countries. Several navy cadets were placed in Japan’s naval academies.

It’s a trivial matter, there’s nothing Chuemon doesn’t allow. It is a good thing that you are willing to come and learn. We have to sell the queen mother of the two palaces and the little emperor of Tongzhi to save face.

Hearing Chuemon’s approval, Jing Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and his main task was accomplished. After that, I hope that the Japanese side will properly arrange the students’ accommodation and meals, and then they will cultivate and teach them carefully.

Chuemon waved his hand and told Jing Lian that there was no way to go to school immediately. Hawaiians come and go to school right away because they speak English. The more than 40 students who have been brought up have to take a year of preparatory courses to learn English and Japanese, otherwise they will not even be able to attend classes.

Even if you can talk in writing with Japanese intellectuals, you can’t talk in writing in class. Don’t think about quick success, you have to study in Japan for at least three years. One year of preparatory courses, one year of basics, and one year of boating, it is barely a quick success.

Three years, that’s fine!

Jing Lian, who had organized the language, nodded immediately, and then discussed naval matters with Chuemon. Well, although Jing Lian came from a jinshi background, he was the one who led the army of civil servants, and like Dolonga, he was also a general who led a horse team. Little is known about the Navy.

I still saw the Western warships in Tianjin, and then in Shanghai, I saw the ironclad ships training on the ocean. Only then did I start to slowly understand that there is still a long way to go for UU reading www.uukanshu.com to learn.

Unlike him, the cavalry general, the more than 40 students who were brought to Edo had seen the world before. The Shanghai Concession itself is very prosperous. What I never imagined is that the Edo Castle in Japan is even more prosperous than Shanghai.

The row upon row of buildings and the sweaty crowd are the prosperity they have never seen before for the men who grew up in the Northeast and Mongolia. From Yokohama to Hong Kong, and then to take a train, it took half an hour to arrive more than 60 miles away, which was even more unheard of for them.

If you run a horse, I am afraid you have to run the horse to death.

In the past, I only felt that I was in the south of the Yangtze River, driving a shallow water gunboat, even if I saw the world. Only now did I know that it was only a small corner of the world that had been opened. No wonder the emperor sent them here to study navy, which is indeed worth learning.

After being placed in Lumingkan, they were allowed to move freely in Edo for two days. Then I saw the Nihonbashi made of pure steel, the Edo Railway Station with endless streams, and the Edo No. 1 Machinery Factory with a huge roar and towering chimneys…

Because Doron Azhi’s army was strict, and at the same time, such a person was born in a bitter cold, so naturally he did not have any hooliganism. All of them are amazed at the achievements of modernization and industrialization, and their hearts should be regenerated with the arrogance that they should learn the same way.

After the dinner party at night, Jing Lian came back, and a group of students asked him if the King of Japan agreed to study abroad. After getting the permission reply, everyone was overjoyed.

At this time, the waiters at Luming Hall brought cold Dutch soda to these students, and they were specially ordered by Chungemon in the afternoon to entertain these students. After all, the good days of Edo are only these few days, and it will not be long before he will be thrown to Eda Island, surrounded by the sea, and become a very spirited naval cadet.

In short, these Qing students began to study abroad in their longing.
