Chapter 185 meiji restoration (11) Iton Bowen opened the side door and was confused and excited after being buried by a pile of blueprints
Huang xuan and Pawn Wei rode their ponies to the capital
The capital city is in the northeast of Osaka
From the map, the business circles of the two cities can almost be connected
Even in 1868, the workshops here developed rapidly
The blacksmiths that produced the knives and armor used by the warriors, the shops that produced and sold firearms, There were also various businesses serving the royal family and the shogunate, which were well regulated and prosperous for a while
The imperial residence of the capital city was the present imperial palace of japan
From the Nara era to the meiji restoration, it was the residence of all the previous emperors
In the eyes of the chinese, it was a simple building complex, a simple moat, a simple inner wall, and a simple palace gate
After half a circle around the outer city of the palace, he encountered a slightly tricky problem
Laying a biological bomb outside the city was not enough to guarantee its power, and the opening time of the palace gate had passed, so he could not use a camouflage cover to enter the city, nor could he find a hotel in the city - that was also required to have a guarantor and household registration
After a night''s sleep in the woods outside the city, Huang Xuan turned into the palace with Lorraine''s help and took advantage of the food delivery vehicle
However, he was extremely disappointed by the simplicity of the imperial residence in the capital
In his opinion, this was simply a dilapidated small villa area
After the abuse of the shogun generals over the past generations, the emperor''s resentment was probably deep, and the imperial city was gray
Yesterday evening, Huang Xuan walked around the imperial city and felt very fast, but he didn''t think so much
It took a few minutes to get to the other side, and he couldn''t help but ask, "Lorraine, how big is this place
""700 Meters wide in the east and west, 1300 meters long in the north and south
The perimeter is 900,000 square meters, and the imperial residence is 110,000 square meters
" He almost fell to the ground and said," is it the same size as the The huang family house
"" It might still be bigger
There are nine famous doors, ten halls, and nineteen halls
"" It''s a medium-sized pedestrian street
It''s a shopping mall above the fourth floor
It can''t be compared
" Huang Xuan shook his head as he dropped a 50g biological bomb on the ground and rubbed his feet against it
" Is this the main hall
" He was referring to a wooden building with long eaves that was no more than 300 square meters in front of him
" That''s right
" He shook his head again, feeling that using a 50g bomb was a waste
In order to ensure that the explosion would cover the entire palace, even the garden Huang Xuan did not let it go
Although according to his idea, the bomb should be detonated at midnight, who knows if Mr
Meiji was meeting the little palace girl in the woods with a lonely shadow at that time
There are more than enough biological bombs to ensure good results
For every 500-square-meter biological bomb weighing 50g, 110,000 square meters would require a total of 11kg of explosives
In addition, in places with more complicated terrain and in the vicinity of buildings, the amount of explosives used was less than 20kg, and the remaining 80kg
It was more than twice as powerful as the atomic bomb in Hiroshima
The qingliang hall was the emperor''s dormitory
Huang Xuan had specially prepared a 200g biological bomb, which was carefully buried in the center of the hall
It was said that when it exploded, the instantaneous temperature within a 300-meter range could reach 6000 degrees, similar to the surface of the sun
In just two seconds, all the oxygen in the vicinity of 100 meters would be burned off
In theory, a 3 meter thick lead plate or steel plate would not work here
Pawn Wei, on the other hand, liked the structure of the qiong island, which was built in imitation of ancient chinese legends
The lake represented the sea, and the white" colored" rubble on the palace floor looked like a beach
The hero jumped in the rubble for a while and crushed countless stones
He only hoped that the guards would not think that the elephant had passed through
After dealing with the imperial residence of the capital, Huang Xuan took another tour around the capital and the two nearby cities
Most of the so-called public houses lived nearby
Although their influence was weaker than that of the martial arts, they were always an important political force
The success of the meiji restoration in japan had something to do with the meiji emperor
Although the shogunate was unpopular, only the emperor was the orthodox place of japan
Therefore, before january 1868, because Dechuan Jubilant returned to the emperor, the army lost its legal basis and once ruled by the shogunate
If it weren''t for the general''s unwillingness to be alone, the rest of the story would be hard to say
In addition, the japanese name system was a very important factor in the Edo period
From the defeat of tokugawa''s qing xi, it could be known that after the victory of the fall army, several famous soldiers rebelled against the" chaos" and even became independent kings
Once the whole of japan lost its desired ruler, the meiji emperor and his heirs, or the shogun general and his heirs, the history of japan in the second half of the 19th century would need to be revised
Huang Xuan returned to Osaka on the fifth day of his arrival at p 1219
With dozens of famous businessmen in Osaka, there were not only Mitsui Gaosui and Iton Bowen, but even the famous person who had just returned from the front line: great long pauliton
After the success of the meiji restoration, he was one of the three great heroes of the restoration
Most importantly, he was also a diplomat who could be listed as the top three in japan during this period
Of course, he wasn''t familiar with him, but if Lorraine mentioned the name, it would represent To Be Able To Stop profits
Xiao Huang glanced at long pauliton with a strange look and looked at a bearded man next to him
This is an englishman
" Mr
Paul hopes to build a steel plant in japan
We have agreed
He will guide our construction work
" Mitsui Gaosui could not help but explain when he saw huang xuan''s confused eyes
" Paul weimar
" The british introduced themselves
Huang Xuan said in english as if he were the master
Iton Bowen looked at Huang Xuan in surprise
After studying in london for many years, he could naturally hear Huang Xuan''s exact london accent
As for him, his spoken language was not that standard
Paul smiled and shook hands with huang xuan
" Thank you
"" Are you a diplomat
" Huang xuan asked in a certain tone
He did not believe in any nonsense to guide the construction work
The drawings he gave to the japanese were probably incomprehensible to the british themselves
The design of the open hearth was still in the hands of the german company, and was unwilling to show off easily
Besides, Lorraine had been monitoring the port of Osaka, and there had been no british steamers coming and going recently
Paul was embarrassed
He didn''t expect Huang Xuan to be so direct
Mitsui Gaosui quickly tried to smooth things over
" Huang Officer, we still have some questions
"" Is the money ready
There are four days left
I don''t have time to delay
" Huang xuan said quite righteously, but in fact, he could be righteously
The reason why Mitsui Gaosui and big brother pauliton created such a big battle was to get the drawings in Huang Xuan''s hands earlier, because the british had promised to pay half the money as long as the contents were all right
Four british engineers were already waiting at the port dock, waiting to authenticate the drawings
Although he did not know this, he was very familiar with the business habits of japan in later generations
After all, japan was china''s third largest trading partner, and the Huang''s fund and the japanese tycoons also had a myriad of ties, not in a short period of time to be able to make clear
Whether it was Zhang Xinyi or Huang Jindi, there were many things to say about japan
Iton Bowen thought that huang xuan was an official of the qing dynasty, so he used his method of dealing with the officials of the qing dynasty
Iton Bowen muttered and stood up from behind Mitsui Gaosui
" Huang Officer, as you can see, our country has just been through a great war
The military expenditure is quite large and it is difficult to support
" Like japan''s foreign policy during the meiji period, senior officials usually had to leave room for manoeuvre, so when talking about foreign affairs, they tried to be vague and described in detail by the middle and lower levels
Once there was a problem, senior officials would pretend to be innocent and assume responsibility by others, so as to continue negotiations
Huang Xuan was not familiar with this famous person, but he was very familiar with this kind of negotiation method in japan
He remembered that when the Sifang group first started to do business with japan, the two negotiations broke down, both of which were carried out by low-level officials
Bowing and apologizing, he finally signed a very favorable contract with the Sifang group
Without the presence of the british, Huang Xuan might have considered lowering the asking price a little more, but Paul''s diplomatic status showed that the drawings he produced must have been of great value
He insisted," 800,000 taels of silver, of which abalone with a minimum of 400,000 taels of silver can be replaced by various fish and livestock
"" Huang Officer
" Iton Bowen shouted quickly
" If you don''t agree, just pretend that this never happened
" In the last sentence, huang xuan used a very japanese way of saying it
Iton Bowen stopped talking
After a long time, pauliton looked at Mitsui Gaosui and said," Huang Officer, there are so many supplies
We need time to raise them
"" Five days
" Huang Xuan raised his finger and said," five days later, the deal ends automatically
And
" He paused and continued," I want to see half of it now
Of course, you can get half of it
" Mitsui Gaosui stood silently in the crowd, as if there was no one there
This time it was Iwasaki Yataro who stood up
He pursed his lips and his moustache gently rose and fell
He said in a heavy voice, almost begging," Huang Officer
"" No need to say it again
" Huang xuan shook his hands
He was still unwilling to take out all the drawings
He was still worried that the little japanese would be" wild" and planned to take them away
Although he was not afraid of robbery, once the two sides tore their faces, they would always reduce the profits
In other words, they would give him a thousand or eight hundred people
It was also difficult to snatch away millions of taels of silver, let alone meet his needs, so proper communication was necessary, but it was also necessary to ensure benefits
Perhaps the british had satisfied the japanese vanity, or perhaps Paul''s promise had strengthened Mitsui Gaosui''s confidence
He finally coughed and said," Huang Officer, then 800 thousand taels of silver
There are a lot of supplies at the dock now
Let''s go over there and talk
"" That''s how it feels
" Huang Xuan chuckled in his heart and waved for dianwei to come over
He pulled seven or eight horses, all bought nearby, each carrying heavy blueprints, as if tang sanzang had gone home
