Chapter 199: The Witch Seeking to Study (Part 2)

Austria, Vienna Imperial College for Women.

"How did this Oshio Sugione get here?"

"I came here by myself." Talia answered nonchalantly, and Ajani shook her head, looking like she didn't know about this.

Franz didn't want to argue with Talia, he was going to find all the Japanese students who were studying abroad and kill them.

Talia saw Franz's displeasure, so she handed him a thick stack of documents.

"Her identity information is written on it. Her name is Sugione, and Oshio is the name of the shrine where she was born and raised."

Oshio Sugione, whose real name is Sugione, was born in Oshio Shrine. The shrine owner said that she was an orphan picked up, but some people said that she was born to a shrine maiden and a benefactor, and some even said that she was the shrine owner's child.

In the Japanese society at that time, ordinary people did not have surnames, only names, and Sugione, who had unclear origins, was even less likely to have a surname.

The shrine owner is the highest person in charge of the shrine, similar to the abbot of a temple.

Since she could remember, Sugine had been cleaning and worshipping the gods every day. She could only eat meat and wear new clothes during festivals.

It was not until she was ten years old that a wealthy Dutch patron came to the shrine, and the life of the shrine became better.

Dutch merchants often visited the shrine and even became friends with the shrine chief. With the encouragement of the shrine chief, all the shrine maidens began to learn Dutch.

The Dutch merchant was also very knowledgeable and often taught the shrine maidens some Western scientific knowledge.

If everything went according to normal, Sugine would officially join the ranks of the shrine maidens after her fourteenth birthday.

In 1837, the entire Osaka area was in a famine, but the town magistrate ignored the suffering of the people and instead joined forces with the merchants to raise prices and make huge profits.

Later, the leader of the uprising, Oshio Heihachiro, came to the shrine and wanted the shrine chief to join him in the uprising. In fact, the shrine had long been out of food, and the shrine maidens could only rely on leaves and wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

In desperation, the entire shrine joined the uprising. With the participation of the shrine maidens and priests, the confidence of the hungry people was increased.

The rebels killed all the way to the house of the town magistrate, but when they opened the warehouse, everyone was dumbfounded. There was not a grain of food in the warehouse, but it was full of large and small pans and silver goods.

The angry hungry people killed the town magistrate and threw his wife and children into the pot.

However, before they could celebrate their victory, the shogunate's army arrived.

The hungry people only had simple farm tools and sharpened sticks in their hands, and they had no power to fight back in front of the shogunate army.

In order to completely suppress the uprising, the shogunate even dispatched the iron cannon team. Every shot of the iron cannon team could cause a large number of casualties among the hungry people.

After three rounds of shooting, the samurai with knives rushed into the crowd. The leader of the rebels, Oshio Heihachiro, and his disciples were quickly captured, and the remaining rebels retreated while fighting under the leadership of the lord.

Afterwards, the shogunate's army killed all the captured rebels and brutally retaliated against the local people. The villages and towns were full of blood, and the bodies of the farmers were piled up together.

After the rebels surrendered, the shogunate did not let them go, and soon executed them. After that, the heads were neatly stacked together to warn the enemies of the shogunate.

As the number of shogunate troops increased, everyone knew that the rebels had no hope of victory.

So the god and several elders discussed that they used the money they had robbed to buy a Dutch merchant ship. The Dutch merchants promised to send the children of the rebels to the Netherlands to raise them.

However, the Dutch did not keep their promise, but prepared to sell these Japanese children to India.

Because Sugiyin could understand Dutch, she knew their evil plan in advance.

Sugiyin and the children on the ship made an escape plan, but in the end she was the only one who escaped on a large ship.

This ship was an armed merchant ship carrying the Austrian Church Fighting Brothers. The fanatics did not make things difficult for Sugiyin, but instead wanted to persuade her to join Catholicism. Fortunately, German and Dutch are very similar, and the two sides can communicate in a simple way.

If Franz had not changed history, this Austrian armed merchant ship would not have passed here at all, and Dashio Sugiyin would not have escaped, and could only be sold to India as a plaything for the local king like everyone else.

Sugiyin was first taken to Zhenla, and then through contact with the priests of the Austrian Church, she felt more and more that Japan was backward.

Even her proud medical skills were not as good as those missionaries.

After learning about the Vienna Royal Women's College from the priests, she asked to go to Vienna to study.

Half a year later, Sugiyin changed her name to Dashio Sugiyin to commemorate the shrine where she was born and her sisters.

Dashio Sugiyin's journey to study was not smooth sailing. Because she was neither a noble nor an Austrian, the administrator refused her admission.

Dashio Sugiyin did not give up, and she would kneel in front of the gate of the college every day. Until Talia became the principal of the Vienna Imperial College for Women

That day, after signing up at the registration office as usual, Da Yan Shan Yin knelt down in front of the college gate. (With a straw mat.)

Talia was sitting in the carriage and saw Da Yan Shan Yin at a glance, and then heard her story.

She thought Da Yan Shan Yin was very interesting, so she decided to play a trick on her.

"Ms. Da Yan Shan Yin, you understand German, right?" Talia asked.

Da Yan Shan Yin only took one look at Talia and knew that the woman in front of her was extraordinary. Her dress and temperament were different from others. The men around her were full of awe for her.

"Hello, I am Da Yan Shan Yin. I have learned some from Catholic priests. Can you help me?"

Da Yan Shan Yin spoke fluent German, which made Talia very satisfied.

"Hello, my name is Talia. I don't have a surname because I was expelled from my family. I am the administrator of this school, that is, the principal."

"Hi (hai), principal." Da Yan Shan Yin's answer was concise and powerful.

Although Talia didn't understand what the other party said, she saw that the other party looked serious, which made her very happy.

"Are you in the junior high school or the elementary school?"

"Junior high school, principal." Da Yan Shan Yin replied.

"Then did you bring the tuition?"

"Hi, principal." Da Yan Shan Yin took off a pocket from his underwear and handed it to Talia respectfully.

From the feeling of holding it, Talia could tell that the bag was filled with gold and silver. Sure enough, after opening the bag, it was full of gold pieces with foreign characters written on them.

Talia estimated that it weighed about 1.5 kilograms, which was a considerable fortune, about 2,000 florins.

Although Talia was not short of money, she still kept it.

"What about your accommodation and food?" Talia asked.

"Are you saying that I can go to school to study? I can sweep the floor, cook, and work in the school to earn living expenses."

Talia shook her head and said.

"There are more than a thousand servants in the school, why do you need to work?"

After several blows, Da Yan Shanyin blushed and said in an inaudible voice.

"I can find a benefactor."

Because Shanyin was too shy to speak, it took Talia a long time to figure out the meaning of this word, and then she laughed.

"Okay, I'll lend you money, you owe it first, and I'll help you find an enemy."
