Fuso Mirror Dream

1. Electric light The filament of early electric lamps was indeed made from a type of fuso bamboo fiber. 2. Thank you all for your continued companionship. Please look forward to a post on the future.

The new year is coming soon. I wish all my dear book friends and family members: Good health, family harmony, great success, and good luck!

I recommend the old book "The Winning Ticket is in Hand" by the great master Dler. What a masterpiece. The professionalism and story-telling of football writing are second to none. There are still many good books in Zongheng.

Regarding the last few chapters, the content is actually quite boring. Originally, Merlin wanted to put it in the extra chapter, but in the end, he decided to put it in the main text. The reason is that the purpose of this book is actually to introduce the generational changes in the Bakumatsu period, and if it is placed in the work-related section, readers looking at external sites will not be able to see this content. However, in the next chapter, the history of the Bakumatsu from the perspective of Kei will come to an end.

1. Opinions on the celebration of the last Tokugawa Shogun Because Qingxi was the last shogun, and he took the initiative to return the great power, and later opened the city of Edo without blood, he was often regarded as lacking in ability and weak in character. But the facts are obviously debatable. In the records of the Bakumatsu period, many people commented on his heroic character and quick thinking. It is said that Iwakura Tomoshi once wrote in a letter: "Looking at the general's jubilant behavior today, it can be said that he is decisive, brave, and ambitious. He is a powerful enemy that must not be underestimated." It is also rumored that Kido Takayun also said: "The government of Kanto has been renewed, and the military and horse system is also impressive. Hitotsubashi's courage must not be insulted. If we lose the opportunity to restore the government and let the shogunate strike preemptively, it will be like the rebirth of Ieyasu." How should we view celebration? In fact, he must have some talent, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become one of the protagonists of the Bakumatsu. However, due to his education and growth experience, he can only be evaluated as a hero of the old era at best - without a modern vision, what can he do no matter how capable he is?

Two pieces of information have been updated in "Work Related Section", please check: 1. "The origin of the name "Reform"; 2. "The commotion of Ikaku and rice at the end of the Tokugawa period".

1. The shogunate founded the country internally On April 7, the second year of Keio (May 21, 1866), the shogunate allowed Chinese people engaged in academic studies and business to sail overseas, and notified foreign envoys of this decision. As a result, Fuso also achieved the founding of the country internally. 2. Honoring the king and resisting the barbarians has turned into the downfall of the king. In September of the first year of Qingying (1865.11), Warships from the four countries of Britain, Buddhism, Mi and Lan advanced into the sea. Under this pressure, the small court in Kyoto approved the past marriage agreements and trade agreements - but until the fall of the shogunate, this matter was never officially announced to the public. Because of this, the small court lost its righteousness to firmly resist the foreigners. But in fact, from the 1863 Fomi bombardment of Xiaguan and the Battle of Saying, the August 18th Incident, the 1864 Forbidden Gate Incident, the Shikoku bombardment of Xiaguan, the first expedition to Changzhou, including the change of the reign name to "Yuanzhi" in 1864, these events all show that the small imperial court and Fuso families began to give up the use of force to resist the foreigners. But the decree of 1865 was that Fusang officially gave up the use of force to resist the invaders legally. From then on, respecting the king and resisting the barbarians officially turned into respecting the king and falling.

1. It is true that the Chinese rice ship was sunk during the Bingyin Ocean harassment. As for the French invasion, it can only be said to be a draw - Ganghwa Island was looted, but the Buddhists did not dare to attack Goryeo Kyoto, so they could only accept it as soon as possible. As for the battle between Annan and France in 1866, the actual result was that Annan was defeated and lost the last three provinces in the south. 2. General Shi Dakai, nicknamed Yada and nicknamed Shi Gandang. 3. Qingxi likes photography. 4. What do Fusang people usually say when taking photos? Most people call it "チーズ" cheese. "ディズニー＾＾シー" Is more popular among young people. This is the meaning of Disney sea - because when you say sea in Japanese, your mouth shape is the same as eggplant in Chinese, and it looks like you are smiling.

1. There was an error in the previous chapter, which has been corrected. Original text: "In 1863, the goods imported to Fuso by each company amounted to more than 2 million pounds, and the export during the same period also exceeded 1 million pounds." This is a clerical error on the part of the author. It should not mean that Fuso enters the super market, but "out of the super market", which means that Fuso's trade output is greater than its import. 2. The "Foreign Trade Situation of Fuso Bakumatsu" has been published in the related work, please read it. 3. On December 25, the second year of Keio, and January 30, 1867, Emperor Komei, who was only 36 years old and opposed the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate, died suddenly, causing a sudden change in the situation at the end of the shogunate. After his death, the 15-year-old Prince Muruhito, later Meiji, succeeded to the throne. Mutsuhito was influenced by his grandfather, Nakayama Tadano, and was extremely dissatisfied with the shogunate - his uncle, Nakayama Tadamitsu, died due to the fall of the shogunate. Zhongshan Zhongguang was an enthusiast of "respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians". In the Tenchu ​​Group Incident in 1863, the Gojo Castle Daikan was killed, and Totsugawa Goshi was gathered to attack Yamato Takatori Castle. This Nakayama Tadamitsu was the leader. As a result, the August 18th Incident occurred, the Tenchu ​​Group Incident failed, and Nakayama Tadamitsu fled to Changzhou. Later, in 1864, when the shogunate launched its first expedition against Choshu, Nakayama was stabbed to death. It is said that it was the subservient faction of the Lord and Japan who wanted to please the shogunate.

1. "Yo yo, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild. I have a guest, playing the harp and sheng." This comes from "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Lu Ming" and is also quoted in Cao Cao's "Dan Ge Xing". 2. Luming Pavilion Lumingkan is a Western-style pavilion built in 1883 (Meiji 16) as part of Japanese Foreign Minister Kaoru Inoue's Europeanization policy. It was designed by an Englishman. The second half of the Meiji 10s, when Europeanism became widespread, is known as the "Rumeikan era." It was originally planned to revise the unequal treaties with European and American countries, but in 1887 (Meiji 20) when the treaty revision failed and Inoue resigned, the Romonukan era came to an end. In 1890 (Meiji 23rd), Lumingkan began to be used as a Chinese association hall. It was completely demolished in 1941 (Showa 16). 3. Wages of Chinese Pacific Railway workers On the most difficult sections, the railroad company paid white workers $35 a month and provided room and board. However, the Chinese workers were paid only 26 US dollars, which did not include room and board. Furthermore, none of the Chinese workers have personal insurance, and the company does not assume any obligations to the workers' families. The only large-scale protest demonstration by Chinese workers in 1867 demanding equal treatment with white workers was also destroyed by one of the giants, Kroc.
