Drunken Hitotsubashi rejoices, he has a very strange dream, in which he sees a completely different Fuso past:

It started out and is much the same as it is now.

In the first month of the seventh year of Jiayong (1854), the Mi people came to visit for the second time, and then signed a peace agreement, and Fuso was founded.

In the fifth year of Anzheng (1858), affected by China's disastrous defeat in the first battle of Dagukou in the Yaluo War, on June 19, Fuso signed a trade agreement with the Mi people, agreeing to open the port to foreign countries.

From here, things start to be clearly wrong.

On July 6 of that year, the thirteenth Tokugawa shogun Ieda died of illness, and on the 16th of the same month, Satsuma Shimazu Saibin also fell ill and died.

By the way, the current leader of the Qin Wang Army, the great anti-thief Naohide Hori, has never appeared in a dream before.

However, Qi Zhao led by his father, the process was no different, and he was still knocked to the ground by the red ghost elder Jing Yi.

After that, the Wuwu Secret Decree Incident happened as scheduled, and Anzheng Prison followed.

Similarly, in the sixth year of Ansei (1859), stimulated by the victory of the Tang dynasty in the second Dagukou in the Yaluo War, the Fuso faction was ready to move.

In order to counteract, the old man Jing Yi quickly ended the purge of Anzheng Prison and punished the relevant families.

At the same time, according to the previous year's trade agreement with foreigners, on June 2 (July 1, 1859), the three ports of Yokohama, Nagasaki, and Hakodate were opened as scheduled.

But after the opening of the port, prices boiled within a few months, which caused anger and resentment.

Moreover, because of the different exchange ratios of gold and silver, foreigners have been engaged in arbitrage, resulting in an influx of silver and a large loss of gold.

As a result, within half a year of the opening of the port, Fuso's internal commerce and foreign trade were almost out of control.

Because Ieda was dead and the 14th Tokugawa shogun Ieshige was young and did not take the government, all this was blamed on the powerful minister Daikoi.

On March 3, 1860, the day of Kamitsu, the Sakurada Gate Rebellion took place, and the Assassin regiment, led by Mito Ronin, attacked the ranks of Iiton Castle.

During the Sakurada Gate Incident, Ii was killed on the spot, and the situation became more favorable to the Shoyi faction.

But what I never expected was that in the Yaloa War, which broke out again, the Tang people were defeated and retreated, and the foreigners recklessly acted with their might, so the Yiyi faction turned over halfway and was out of play.

But a good meal is not afraid of being late.

Despite the efforts of the Founders and Conciliators to develop Ezo (1859), Hamin Maru (1860), Gobin Edo Huirei (1860), Mangen Minting (1860), Voyage (1861), and Ogasawara Island (1862), the form continued to deteriorate.

Prices continue to skyrocket, people complain, and even territory is beginning to be lost:

In the seventh year of Ansei (1860), Lucia invaded the southern part of Huatai, and by the way, also seized the four islands of Yunwu.

After the negotiations failed, the following year, the Lu people also intensified their efforts to forcibly occupy the port of Tarozaki on Tsushima Island.

Fortunately, out of consideration for curbing the Lu people from going south, England came to the aid and expelled the Lu people from Tsushima.

If it weren't for that, with Lucia's usual greedy nature, I can't imagine what this fat bear could do next!

Later, in February of the second year of Wenjiu (1862), he married the palace and the general Jiamao was in power.

First of all, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the change of the Sakashita Gate, in the inner castle of Edo, under deep security, the ronin stabbed Ando Nobuyuki.

This greatly frustrated the prestige of the shogunate and the Ando family.

Then the internal and external coercion, the genealogy of the daimyo and the flag were clamoring internally, and the imperial edict was coerced again.

So in June, the melon finally ripened, and he (Qingxi) became a "general", and Qingyong became the "president of political affairs".

After that, the two worked together to refresh the shogunate and started the "Wenjiu Innovation".

At this time, although it was a dream, the drunken Qingxi still showed a bright smile.

It's not easy to get what you want, but you finally got what you want! Turn your hands over for the clouds

After that, it's time for me to rejoice and soar!

In the spring of the third year of Bunjiu (1863), adhering to the great prestige of his father Qi Zhao's past call for the Yiyi, the Zaoyi faction that he had gathered together in Kyoto was so angry that Keiyong resigned and took power by himself.

And after the young general Jia Mao went to Luo, he was also played with by himself.

It's a pity that "no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days", the shogunate has begun to lose power, and he has not caught up with the good time when he is in power.

Moreover, there are stupid people every year, especially this year.

On the 20th day of the fourth month of the same year, the shogunate was forced to declare a rebellion and make an appointment with the princes on May 10.

This is obviously a deception, but who would have thought that someone really believed it - on May 10, Changzhou shelled rice boats at Xiaguan.

It is clearly written in the edict, "He will be swept away when he attacks, and if I am enterprising, I will not start a war." ”

It's terrible to be uneducated, do you know what a bluff is?

The ronins can play the heavens and punish the foreigners, how can the daimyo be so impulsive, don't you think about the huge family business.

Even if it was the leader of the year, his father Qi Zhao, he was shouting loudly, but in the end, he didn't do it.

It is a vision and a gesture, and the struggle for power and profit is life.

Hey, it's hard to bring red deer allies.

In fact, Qingxi also pondered in private, how did this Changzhou flicker and flicker, how did he fool himself. Is it because the navigation proposed by his own family was far from being able to open the country, and then it was overkill?

What, "those who manipulate the people~ often play with fire and self-immolation", this is my dream, I don't want this kind of explanation!

In hindsight, as I expected, it was not so easy to destroy by force:

At the beginning of June, the Mi warship "Wyoming" shelled the Xiaguan Fort, after which Francie landed at Xiaseki and burned and looted. Choshu is helpless against all kinds of retaliation.

At the beginning of July, the Satsuma Shimazu family, another powerful man, was defeated in a fierce battle with the English navy - although the enemy army was repulsed, the castle town of Kagoshima was also reduced to a sea of fire.

The time soon came to August, and just when he was intriguing with the shogunate in Edo, the August 18 change occurred in Kyoto:

Changzhou felt that the situation was not good, so he united with the ministers and forced the Fusang Emperor to drive the expedition in person, trying to fight to the death.

But how can there be so many fools.

At this time, the Fusang Emperor and most of the ministers and princes understood that "there is a risk in destroying the country, and you need to be cautious when using force."

Therefore, led by his ally "Kyoto Guardian" Matsudaira Yoho, everyone worked together to drive the radical Shoyi faction and the Choshu forces out of.

After receiving the news, he quickly returned to Kyoto to stabilize the overall situation - the imperial court and the princes of the Shogunate were his solid support, and the shogunate was intertwined inside, the mountains were numerous, and it was difficult to fight step by step, and Edo was really not easy to do.

After that, everyone quickly unified the caliber in Kyoto:

"That's definitely right.

But is it completely undesirable to be radical and unscrupulous? ”

Naokata Matsudaira, an ally who had been in Kyoto and became the "president of political affairs" in October of that year, was firmly in control of the shogunate in Edo.

This east and west, isn't it Jiang Taigong sitting firmly in fishing ~ Taiwan.

But who would have thought that it was the red deer allies and bastards who made a fuss:

In the spring of the fourth year of Wenjiu (1863) of the following year, the second public and military forces combined in Shangluo, and the six "national is participation" caused an awkward scene.

Kei, who was down by himself before, never said that he would definitely go over with his own family, but Shimazu Hisamitsu, Date Munejo, and Yamauchi Toyonobu, what's going on with you.

Isn't everyone in the same family, why did it suddenly make an awkward scene?

In fact, I know that this is all done by some ministers.

In the edict to the shogunate last year, he not only recommended himself and Keinaga to govern the government, but also mentioned the establishment of the five major officials.

Now these three outward names are eyeing this matter, clearly working against themselves, but inside they are actually asking to fulfill the promise of the year.

But at this time and at that time, now that his family is in power in the shogunate, how can he be willing to share the power to others.

So everyone broke up unhappily, and the huge faction established by his father Qi Zhao began to fall apart.

But at this time, his wings have begun to plump, and he doesn't care too much about what these people think.

On March 25, he resigned from the shogunate's "shogun gomi" and assumed the post of "governor of the forbidden imperial guard", and at the same time concurrently served as the newly established "commander of the defense of the sea" of the imperial court.

Next, on April 11, the head of the Kuwana Matsudaira family, Dingkei, was appointed as the representative of the Kyoto office, and in this way, together with the original Kyoto guardian Aizu family head Rongbao, the "Ichihui-san" force was officially formed.

Thanks to the efforts of his father, Qi Zhao and his ancestors, the power of Mito's in-laws allies is so huge:

For example, Ikeda Keimasa of Okayama Domain and Ikeda Keitoku of Tottori Domain, these two great daimyos are their own brothers;

Another example is the ally "President of Political Affairs" Naoka Matsudaira, whose adoptive father is also his own brother Naomatsudaira Naohou;

And the four Takasu brothers, who are the heads of the Owari, Aizu, and Kuwana families, are not only of the Mito bloodline, but also their staunch allies.

As for other in-laws, old ones, there are countless of them.

At a time when the shogunate was weakened, the "Ichikai-san" held the Kyoto Imperial Court hostage with one hand and Edo with the other, and could be called invincible - if not counting foreigners.

However, following the red deer's allies Shimazu Hisamitsu, Date Munejo, and Yamauchi Toyonobu, the bastard's subordinates jumped out to make trouble.

At the end of March, the Mito Tengu Party raised troops at Mt. Tsukuba and demanded that Yokohama be locked immediately.

Speaking of this Yokohama lock port, Qingxi almost cried in his dreams:

If you don't want to be embarrassed and don't want to lock up the port of Yokohama, it's really impossible, and you really dream about it.

His biggest reliance is on three things, the identity of the imperial family, the birth mother is the princess of the Fuso royal family, and the prestige left by his father Qi Zhao - the latter is even more important than the first two now that the shogunate is weak.

Therefore, I wanted to be embarrassed and wanted to lock up the port in Yokohama, and I used to be sincere.

However, "those who know the times are handsome", and the results of the battle between Changzhou and Saying are really shocking.

If you still had a fluke before, now you really don't have it, and you really need to be cautious.

If Yokohama's lock of the port can be achieved, he will still put a good "shogun to see later" and not do it, and run to do what "Forbidden Imperial Guard Governor", which is completely impossible.

And just because he still doesn't change his mind about Yokohama's lock of the port, it's just a tiger ride, bluffing, and taking the opportunity to attack political opponents.

Especially when the foreigners massively increased their troops in Yokohama, the Tengu Party, you bastards, actually played really, isn't this self-defeating?

And raising troops is just a reckless, at most reckless, but it can rob the place and ruin the reputation, this is a complete self-digging grave.

If he can settle the Tengu Party peacefully, then everything is easy to say, otherwise, I am afraid that his foundation in the Edo shogunate will be greatly shaken.

Speaking of which, this ally is not a subordinate, and many things rely on each other's hearts to understand, which is really difficult.

It's terrible, and sure enough, Matsudaira Naoka didn't handle it well, and Naok was forced to resign at the end of June, and he lost an arm.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

Zhike resigned in June, and in July, Changzhou launched a change in the forbidden door.

Speaking of which, this also has its own haste and complacency:

In the spring of this year, at the "National Participation" meeting, I was full of ambition and wanted to subdue everyone too much - at that time, I wanted to use Changzhou to kill chickens and monkeys, so I insisted on severe punishment.

As a result, I never expected that the Maori father and son would dare to eat the cat poorly, and when Shangluo defended himself, the Choshu soldiers and horses brazenly attacked the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Fortunately, the princes were on their side because of the changes of August 18 last year, which did not allow the Maori family to succeed.

However, Kyoto was devastated by the military disaster, which not only made his face disgraced as the "Governor of the Imperial Guard", but also greatly shook the prestige of the imperial court and the shogunate after the merger of the public and military forces.

Therefore, the conquest of Changzhou is also inevitable.

The dream is here, and Qingxi has begun to make a sad face.
