"Day and night, pig teammates are difficult to defend."

A drunken Ichibashi Qingxi who was drunk alone muttered to himself.

On September 16, 1867, the combined warships of the four countries threatened to take the sea, and then within a month, he and the imperial court were forced to be embarrassed.

Originally, everyone wanted to continue to use the old routine to blame people, but the shogunate didn't talk about martial virtues, and they refused to accept it:

The shogun, who was stranded in Kyoto, rejoiced, and urged the imperial court to make a decision on the grounds of the imperial agreement.

And the Sakai Tadashi line of Edo governance has long been pushed away.

In the letter that followed the front and rear feet of the foreign ship, it was clearly written, "The matter is very important, please ask the president of government affairs and the princes of the court and China to be the masters, and if there is a decision, Edo will not obey it." ”

But who is the president of political affairs, isn't it just a celebration!

Only then did everyone realize that after the overthrow of the reformers at the beginning of the year, Sakai resolutely did not agree to the establishment of a "president of foreign affairs", and it turned out that the people had long been ready to shirk it.

Well, this hot potato has completely fallen into Qingxi's own hands, and he can't shake it out.

Moreover, the Edo side arranged things clearly, and several foreign commissioners were urgently sent to Osaka to obey orders, and from the perspective of human feelings and legal principles, there was no flaw left at all.

It stands to reason that there are no flaws to be found, after all, the minister and keiki can pressure the shogunate to foreign countries, and if they propose to make concessions to foreigners, it will be a success.

But the problem is that since the beginning of the year, when Hori Toshiki, who was then a foreign minister, was forced to live in seclusion, these foreign officials, both new and old, have learned to pretend to be stupid - who can't say it when they close it, but behind this set of words, there is actually only one sentence, "It seems to make sense to think about it, so I have to ask the above to decide." ”

Moreover, in early October, just when everyone was struggling with the foreigners in Osaka, an earth-shattering news came, and the Hakodate Governor united with the white lord Matsudaira Ieqin King!

According to information received on 8 October, the army of King Kan landed at Mito Nakamito on 2 October.

Hearing the news, everyone in Kyoto was shocked and a little crying and laughing:

Hakodate and the Hakulord Matsudaira family are the hardcore of the Restoration, and they have always been the pioneers of the founding of the country, so they are incompatible with the court that insists on fighting against it, where does the term "King Qin" come from?

Besides, foreign ships invaded Osaka and oppressed, how did you go to Kanto, where Edo is located, this distance is really a bit far.

Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong.

Clear-eyed people know that this King Qin is fake, and the reformers took the opportunity to counterattack!

Thinking of this, Qingxi couldn't help but scold the "bastard" fiercely - he had expected this, but he didn't expect the reformists' counterattack to be so fast and so fierce.

Speaking of which, this red deer friend is really more than enough to succeed.

When the first series of the Restoration was overthrown, he and Sakai had a tacit understanding with each other:

Sakai supported his control of in order to appease the imperial court and appease the discontent of the princes caused by Keio's murder;

And he supported Sakai and others to overthrow the reformists led by Keinaga and help them seize the power of the shogunate.

But in any case, both sides have no intention of exterminating the reformers - now it is a change unseen in 3,000 years, and the reformers can be suppressed, but they cannot be eradicated, otherwise there will be no one to do things and fight against the black cauldron.

Therefore, at that time, the Edo Nankuma town was appointed by Oguri Tadami, Inoue Kiyonao, Kanjo Hori Naohide, and foreign Kawaji Seimo, all four of whom were retained.

But if you are not afraid of no good things, you are afraid that there will be no good people.

I don't know which ministers and ministers made the move, but in early June, Oguri Tadashun and Hori Naohide were forced to resign.

"I don't have a vision."

Thinking of the depression, Qingxi drank the wine dry in one gulp.

Even if you don't think about the long term and can't wait to figure it out, then you won't find some good reason!

It turned out that Oguri Tadashun resigned because of the incident of "exchanging Fuso gold for overseas silver":

From the 2nd year of Ansei (1855) to the 6th year of Ansei (1859), the shogunate privately engaged in secret trade with the foreign company of Hamhyung, taking advantage of the huge disparity in gold and silver exchange between the outside world and Fuso to make large profits.

And Oguri Tadashun, who was the governor of Nagasaki, was the initiator and main executor of this matter.

It was only six years after the opening of the three ports of Fuso that the shogunate began minting coins in 1860. During this period, foreign merchants used the gold and silver exchange ratio to arbitrage on a large scale.

Kanto gold, Kansai silver, and are mixed with gold and silver.

Therefore, after the opening of the port, the greatest loss due to the gold and silver arbitrage of foreigners was the princes of the Western Kingdom and the people of.

Qingxi knew that the incident of "exchanging Fuso gold for overseas silver" could drive a wedge between Satsuma, Choshu, and all the princes of the Western Kingdom and the reformers—Oguri Tadashun was the pioneer of the Restoration.

Plus, it seems to have a lot of benefits, killing three birds with one stone.

Judging from the fact that this incident first spread from the vicinity of Kyoto, it can be judged that it was done by some unwilling ministers.

What they are thinking, they know whether they are happy or not:

In addition to continuing to fight the reformers, one is to destroy his relationship with the Edo shogunate.

How so?

The matter is extremely confidential, as can be seen from the fact that it has been kept secret for so many years. Therefore, the only people who can know the inside story can be the top people of the shogunate.

Judging from the fact that Kyoto is the earliest ~ leaked this matter, Qingxi himself can't escape the blame.

Now in this place, General Jiamao must not harm himself, so he can only be himself - although he did not govern back then, but his father Lie Gong Qi Zhao, as the leader of the Yiyi faction at that time, was quite beautiful, maybe he knew about it. Later, Lao Tzu told his son, isn't there anything wrong with this?

It seems that some people are quite wary of their approach to Sakai Tadashi and other shoguns.

The second one is that the ministers are not willing to be lonely.

From the first combination of public and military forces in the third year of Bunkyu (1863), although the shogunate retreated, the imperial court gained a lot of face and did not gain much real power.

This stinks the shogunate, and maybe the opportunity will come.

Qingxi knows that in private, the ministers are very enthusiastic about Wang Zheng's retro. And this royal government is retro, that is, to get rid of the shogunate, take back power and return to the court, if it really happens, the ministers who are in power, what do you want.

I can't say, when the bean buns are eaten and thrown away, it will be beautiful when I think about it.

"Stupid!"

Qingxi's biological mother, Dengmei Palace, is a princess of the royal family, so Qingxi has been able to gain the trust of the royal family in recent years.

But Mito has respected the king for so many years, and even Qingxi knows that the minister's flashiness has been unbearable for a long time, and this royal government is really done, and it is also cheap for others - after that, it is the keiki family that governs the government, or the princes who have a heart, anyway, the ministers have destroyed the shogunate, and they can only make wedding clothes for others!

Moreover, although it is possible that the beneficiary will be happy with himself, he still feels that this matter is a bit rushed:

People don't look at what time it is.

Now that the Western countries are persecuting Fusang, and the rehearsal of Qingying's murder is becoming more and more intense, at this time, it is not asking for hardship.

So, the person who manipulated this must be a traitor!

Fuso has always worshipped the strong.

Xiaoli Tadashun engaged in "exchanging Fusang gold for overseas silver", and earned 2.55 million yuan in one fell swoop! Although it was the shogunate who beggar-thy-neighbor and pitted everyone, this huge amount of money was really in the pocket.

When Asano scolded Oguri Tadashun angrily, he didn't admire him too much in private.

You have to consider the unique atmosphere of Fuso, this notoriety is also famous, after this incident, Oguri

The reputation of the ghost talent has spread far and wide, and he has become a recognized person with extraordinary talents!

Besides, you have to talk about the art of war.

Have you heard of "I'm the enemy"?

This "exchanging Fuso gold for overseas silver" benefited the shogunate, and countless shogunates benefited.

So after such a toss, the Edo shogunates began to think of Oguri's goodness, and the person who offended him by proposing "the original leader to be returned" two years ago actually began to forgive him - for the shogunate to dare to take the notoriety, Zhengchen Oguri is also!

Moreover, the bad feelings caused by the leakage of this matter were actually attributed to the entire shogunate, which caused the same hatred of the shogunate.

Isn't this an opportunity for the Restorationists to reconcile with the rest of the shogunate, stupid?

Again, it's not right to engage in Kanada Hori's approach.

You say that he is greedy for money and power, and the villain is lucky, isn't that okay?

As a result, I turned out the fact that he went to sea to study 20 years ago, saying that he went to sea without authorization, and also colluded with the rice people in private, and the visit of the black boat was the result of Naohide Hori going to foreign countries.

Hemp eggs!

In 1864, the first year of the Shogunate's reign began to send laborers, and in the following year, they were allowed to sail overseas for academic and commercial purposes.

Nowadays, there are countless people from all over the world.

You said that Naohide Hori went to sea without permission 20 years ago, isn't this just a compliment to people for their foresight and determination!

If he hadn't resolutely studied abroad back then, how could he have gone from being a royal family to a son who founded the country and got ahead on his own.

Hey, the red deer allies can't be trusted.

Besides, what are you doing with Naohide Hori, the acting official of the world?

Originally, Keio's murderous work could be smoothly deducted on this person's head. But now taking this opportunity, people took the initiative to resign, and they got out so easily.

Moreover, "if you fight a snake, you won't die but be devoured", I don't understand this truth?!

Even if it wasn't clear before, see if I can understand it - back then, Qi Zhao's family was suppressed by the shogunate's elder Ii Naobi, but later, Keiki and Qingyong, including Shimazu Qibin, Date Munejo, Yamauchi Toyonobu and others all turned over.

People have soldiers in their hands, and now they are not the king of soldiers, so they are dumbfounded.

In fact, Keiki also understands that Oguri Tadashun is the enshrinement of Edo Minami Town, and the Hori family has a thousand elite soldiers to guard Yokohama, which is something that many people are like in their throats.

Therefore, this is also a last resort to bring down the two of them.

But the problem is that if things are slow, you will die, and you have to engage in these drastic measures.

The ministers of the court who live in a thousand-year-old dream, the courtiers who cling to the famous and high-ranking officials, plus the crazy princes, priests, and ronins, all parties are messing around, and this is not new.

"But now that the situation is so bad, do these people know how to clean up the mess?!"

When he found that the bottle was empty, he couldn't help but sigh.

Now forced by the Hokchi army to suppress Edo, on October 12, he and the minister Iwakura finally persuaded the new emperor and the secretary of state to agree to the imperial agreement, acquiesced in the tax change, and continued to pretend to be confused about the foreigners' demand for the opening of the port on schedule.

This would give a reason to dissuade the Shikoku Combined Naval Army, and at the same time dispel the excuse of the Northern Ground King Army near Edo.

But the ministers finally woke up and knew that even if the foreigners withdrew from the army, the reformers would never give up.

What to do?

Letting the general Ieshige go back to Edo to appease, isn't this letting the tiger return to the mountains; But don't let it go, the Sakai Tadashi family, who once presided over the cleanup of the reformers, will definitely not be able to handle this matter.

It's hard, it's a headache!

Hey, I can only take one step at a time.

In such a half-drunk and half-awake period, Qingxi was drowsy. But in his dream, he saw Fuso's past, which was completely different from what he was now.
