Members of the Ming Dynasty envoys were in private when they saw Chu Qi planning to change the time he went to Edo Castle.

Wei Zuochang, the Minister of Rites, touched his gray beard and stared at Chu Qi and said, "Boy, do you know what your approach means? The time for the envoys to visit the Tokugawa Shogunate is planned. The Tokugawa Shogunate is also ready to welcome us today, but now they are on standby in Yokohama Port, and you also want to decide our departure time."

The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty also spoke, and he finally noticed Chu Qi, the Jinyiwei Qianhu: "Chu Qianhu, the shogunate has made arrangements for it, and I believe it has been checked in advance, so there is no need to be too cautious to avoid delaying the trip."

The Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the General of Liaodong did not speak.

Seeing the pressure from the Crown Prince and the Minister of Rites, Chu Qi said: "It is the responsibility of his subordinates to protect His Royal Highness and all the ministers. Since his subordinates are wearing this flying fish suit, they must be worthy of the honor of the Jinyiwei. At this time, we are in the shogunate territory, His Royal Highness and all the ministers have a noble status. If one person has an accident, the empire will not be able to bear such losses. Therefore, even if one day and a half is delayed, we cannot take risks easily."

Chu Qi stubbornly insisted that the departure time should be adjusted, not according to the time schedule of the shogunate, but decided by himself when the envoy should take a steam locomotive from Yokohama Port to Edo Castle.

Crown Prince Zhu Chenghuan immediately had an objection to Chu Qi, the young Qianhu, and showed dissatisfaction: "Chu Qianhu, do you have no confidence in yourself?"

Chu Qiyi was a little annoyed when he heard this. If someone installed explosives on the rails, what's the use of being confident? Will the person and the car be blown away by then? I don't want to die yet.

Chu Qi still insisted: "The Jinyiwei has the right to act cheaply at this time, which was the power given to the Jinyiwei by Emperor Chongzhen to change the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Chenghuan looked at Zhang Wenzheng, a Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion. If he spoke as a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Jinyiwei would also surrender.

Zhang Wenzheng said slowly: "Since the Jinyiwei is for our own good fortune, it is understandable to delay so much time."

"But Master..."

The crown prince was defeated by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but he did not dare to refute Zhang Wenzheng.

Zhang Wenzheng said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry. Let's stop at Yokohama Port for the time being. General Fuyang Tomoto will treat us well, right? General Fuyang Tomoto?"

The Shogunate Navy pursued the practice of Takeo Hiromoto when he saw the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet of the Sect Master's State and quickly nodded and bowed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and all of you want to stay in Yokohama Port for as long as you want."

The envoys arrived at Yokohama Port and planned to go directly to Edo Castle, but were blocked by Chu Qi and temporarily settled in Yokohama Port.

Wei Zuochang, the Minister of Rites, walked beside Zhang Wenzheng and said to Zhang Wenzheng: "This Chu Qi is a bit interesting."

The Liaodong general handed over the forces of a hundred households of the cavalry battalion brought to Chu Qi. Chu Qi ordered the hundreds of households of the cavalry under the guidance of the Xinxuan Group to investigate the railways along the way.

Chu Qi also took this opportunity to talk to the Liaodong General for the first time.

His father, Chu Xin, Minister of War, also served as the general of Liaodong.

The Ming Dynasty envoy suddenly changed its schedule, and even the envoy was unexpected.

In Edo Castle, the embassy of the Empire's Sun-Downfall in the Toyo Shogunate, where a banquet was being held, and ambassadors from the United States, France, Prussia and other countries were also invited.

A blonde girl was clinking cups with the Prussian ambassador, and at this time, an ambassador assistant from the Empire of Sun Never Sets came over and whispered in his ear.

The blonde girl's blue eyes were filled with a strange color, and she waved her hand to let her assistant go down.

The Prussian ambassador to the East asked her: "As the time when the Ming Empire envoys visited the Eastern Shogunate, the Ming Empire must have made great moves. Your intelligence is the fastest, have you learned something in advance?"

The blonde girl shook the red wine glass in her hand: "The Ming Dynasty envoy has arrived at Yokohama Port and plans to stay for a while before visiting Edo Castle."

The Prussian ambassador smiled contemptuously and said, "Their Ming Empire was the most powerful country, but they acted so carefully in their own vassal states. It was really a shame."

The blonde girl tweeted her hair and chuckled, "What you said makes sense."

Chu Qi informed the envoys to get up early the next morning, and then took a steam locomotive to Edo Castle.

The crown prince and a group of people were dissatisfied with going to Edo secretly, but Chu Qi felt that this was the case.

You can come back to Edo Castle. There is no need to be high-profile at all times. Especially the travel itinerary of important people should be strictly confidential or even adaptable to the situation. The fewer people know, the better.

When the crown prince and many envoys complained that Chu Qi's group of Jinyiwei was arbitrary, they did not expect that their lives were rescued because of Chu Qi's intuition and temporary adjustment of the itinerary. Most of them would never know that they had passed by danger this time.

Chu Qi felt more and more that the job of the Jinyiwei was not easy to do, and he would have to offend the people of the envoys, even the crown prince.

Chu Qi came to the steam locomotive car and found that Dongyang's steam locomotive was almost exactly the same as the Ming Dynasty's steam locomotive. It can be seen that this was indeed the steam locomotive and carriage produced by the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, you asked the envoys to change the itinerary yesterday, which may cause some envoys to be dissatisfied. Try not to do so in the future."

"But it may not be. If someone really puts gunpowder on the rails, the consequences will be very serious. Not only will the envoys suffer heavy losses, but you and I will also be crushed to pieces."

Li Yanguang and Guo Yan, a hundred households, discussed in the iron carriage. The envoys had some complaints about the decision of the Jinyiwei. Some of Chu Qi's subordinates were worried that this would affect Chu Qi's future, and some believed that Chu Qi's caution was the right one.

Chu Qi didn't care because he always felt uneasy. This trip would definitely not be calm. Be careful of everything, otherwise he would lose his life.

The chief leader of the newly selected group, Serizawa duck, came over with a samurai sword, but was stopped by Chu Qi: "The front car is an important figure in our envoy group, please stop."

Serizawa Ya and Chu Qi face to face: "I'm not here to find you all, but to find you. Su Wen, the origin of the martial arts of the Central Plains, is the Qiangu, the Jinyiwei, and is equipped with an embroidered spring sword. You should be proficient in sword techniques. When I arrived at Edo, I want to ask you for advice."

Chu Qi saw that the ronin in this newly selected group had a serious expression, which didn't seem like a joke.

Even in the steam era, the last samurai and ronin in the East still had a little expectation for cold weapons.

As a melee weapon, Chu Qi can still play tricks, but it is not cost-effective to ask him to reduce his status and compete with the new ronin in the selected group.
