"The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade." This is Oguri Tadashun's mockery of the shogunate's resolution.

As he said, after the wind storytelling evaluation meeting, Mr. Jiangchuan Tanan, who has been at the forefront of the development of orchidology, not only lost the leading power in the development of the orchid industry, but also took away most of the rights to hang up in coastal defense.

Oguri Tadashun also basically lost his transcendent position in the Nagasaki trade and became an ordinary imperial eye of the shogunate.

Things also started when Tokugawa Saiaki, the head of the Mito domain, participated in the wind storytelling evaluation meeting.

Qi Zhao really lived up to expectations at the appraisal meeting, and he clearly put forward the viewpoint of "rejuvenating the courage of the samurai family and defending the enemy beyond Edo Bay", and the specific demand was to increase the security on both sides of the Uraga waterway on the basis of the basic completion of Shinagawa Odaiba.

Of course, Taro Saemon Egawa, who was hung in coastal defense, objected to the exit, but Mr. Tan'an said that "the Uraga waterway is too wide to block" based on the plan he had reported to the old junior high school in the past. However, Qi Zhao believes that "things are man-made, and they are related to the safety of the shogunate for a hundred years and the plan for a thousand years. ”

Then, someone asked, "Jiang Chuan, didn't you propose a plan to block the waterway with water cannons, and it would be better to optimize it." In fact, this plan was proposed by Oguri Tadashun during his tenure in Nagasaki, but I don't know why this person pressed this on Mr. Tanan's head.

Mr. Tan'an still has to argue, but now everyone's emotions have been ignited by Qi Zhao, "Xing Yong and Resist the enemy outside the door", it sounds like a virtuous marquis who has always been known for his toughness, so no one wants to listen to Jiang Chuan's "chatter" anymore.

Then, Qi Zhao put forward suggestions such as collecting enemy information, building coastal defenses, reforming the military system, rectifying armaments, abolishing the order on the construction of large ships, and widely opening up the use of talents.

Moreover, Qi Zhao also proposed, "In order to prevent the shogunate from having people sit back and enjoy the success of the battle with the southern barbarians, the princes should be mobilized to assist in the defense, especially the daimyo of the Western Wai, and they must be allowed to send more troops and more money and food."

These words won the favor of the shogunate present, and they all secretly praised Qi Zhao in their hearts, "I haven't seen you for many years, but I have grown more and more", and now the proposal sounds very pleasant to the ear - Qi Zhao, who was in seclusion, thought that "in order to reduce the expenditure of the shogunate, the number of shoguns should be reduced and a great economy should be adopted", and he once criticized the expenditure of the general's harem "Da Ao" as too extravagant.

In Naohide's original world, in addition to the Flag Hon, who hoped to reform the shogunate, and the chief of the old middle school, Abe Ichigo, there were also foreign daimyo such as Echizen Matsudaira Harugaku, Satsuma Shimazu Saibin, and Uwajima Date Munejo who supported Qi Zhao's participation in the shogunate. At that time, Qi Zhao was favored by others, so his subordinates were quite merciful afterwards, and while asking the princes from all over the country to "donate money" to the shogunate, they also gave them in return, so that the foreign daimyo gained a lot of governing rights and other benefits.

But this time, Qi Zhao did not get the full help of the princes, so he did not leave any benefits for these people, and the suggestions he put forward were naturally more beneficial to the shogunate, so it was easier to resonate with the important ministers of the shogunate present.

With Qi Zhao rushing in front, he carried all the pots that might cause future troubles, and several major ministers had communicated in advance before the assessment meeting, so the meeting quickly reached an agreement, and then the old middle school wrote to the public, saying, "After careful study by the ministers, I am ready to deal with the visit of the rice boat in this way."

Although Mr. Tanan and Oguri Tadashun were aware of it at the evaluation meeting, they were surprised by the official document released after waiting for the approval of the official sample.

What exactly does the document say?

First of all, the original defense plan of Edowan was significantly adjusted, and the original Shinagawa Odaiba was the main and the Uraga Waterway was supplemented, but this time the priority of the defense was changed, and the Uraga Waterway became the main battlefield, and the decisive battle in Shinagawa Odaiba was only considered as a last resort.

Secondly, on the basis of the original four families of Xun Qin, five more families were gathered

The princes assisted in the defense of the armed forces, the coast and the key places.

In Naohide's original world, there are people who believe that "before the visit of the black boate, Ming Languo warned the shogunate in advance, but the sluggish shogunate was unprepared", but this view is actually debatable.

At that time, in 1852, the year before the visit of the black ships, the shogunate summoned the four military offices of the lord, the general office, and the standing army of the original shogunate, which was indeed prepared, but because of the many years of seclusion, the shogunate did not understand the Western countries and underestimated the power of the rice boats, which caused the later passive situation.

Of course, Lan Guo is not a good person, and has never systematically provided technology and information to the shogunate, but considering that this is a good friend between the two countries, since the shogunate is not active, it is normal for Lan Guo Shangguan to be sold at a price.

Originally, the four families of the Shobo and the total Honkina were the Hikone Domain, the Kawagoe Domain, the Aizu Domain, and the Shinobi Domain.

The five additional princes were the Choshu Mori clan, the Kumamoto Hosokawa clan, the Okayama Ikeda clan, the Tottori Ikeda clan, and the Tokushima clan Bee Suka clan - there was originally a proposal to summon the Satsuma Shimazu clan to assist in the defense, but the old and middle school members considered that Shimazu was located at the first gateway to the southwest of Fuso, and the outer ships to Edo must have passed through Satsuma first, so the pressure on the Shimazu family was quite great, so the proposal was shelved.

Interestingly, it is true that the four families of the Xun family have always stood firmly with the Tokugawa family in the storm at the end of the Edo period in the future, and they were all disgraced in the end of the general situation; However, the latter six, including Satsuma, will stand on the opposite side of the shogunate in the future, especially Choshu and Satsuma, which are the two banners of the king.

Therefore, later generations jokingly called this old middle school, especially Abe's attendants, thinking that their people are "as wise as a torch", and the loyalty of the second batch is indeed not as stable as that of the first batch.

The above are all specially made arrangements for the visit of the rice boat.

On top of this, the far-sighted veterans and middle-aged people have promoted innovations that will have a huge impact on the future - of course, the rice ship has not yet arrived, so it is not necessarily guaranteed that it will come, and maybe the kamikaze will destroy itself again, so this large number of innovations are in the name of "trial implementation".

The first article of the trial decree is to "build coastal defense and reform the military system."

According to the requirements of "building coastal defense", all coastal daimyo were required to repair Odaiba in the coastal areas of their territory - in fact, with the continuous appearance of Nanban ships, many daimyo had already done so, but this time it was officially required by the shogunate. In the past, if you repair the Odaiba too well, you may be reprimanded, "Isn't it an ulterior motive?" "Now you will be scolded if you can't fix it well," Why, are you going to collude with the Southern Barbarian ghosts?" ”

But it's not a big tube to repair Odaiba alone.,The shogunate has always controlled the armaments of the major masters.,Manufacturing、Buying and selling iron cannons、Large barrels must apply to the shogunate in advance.,This time,Of course, you can't let go.,But the decree hints that "reasonable requests will definitely be granted.,Don't worry.,I really won't lie to you this time.。

In addition, the "ban on the construction of large ships", which had been criticized as a self-imposed martial art, began to loosen when the shogunate announced that everyone could start studying how to build large ships, but whether they could build large ships would wait until next fall.

At this time, the important ministers of the shogunate were still holding a fluke heart, if the rice boat was not as powerful as the legend in the next year, then the construction of a big ship could be slowed down - Fuso is an island country, and it will be much easier for the princes to collude with each other after having a big ship, and then it will be difficult to control the flow of goods, and second, it is not safe, if there are thieves attacking Edo and Osaka from the sea, then the shogunate will not move a stone to shoot itself in the foot.

The construction of coastal defense was the shogunate's requirement for the whole of Fuso, and the reform of the military system was the shogunate's internal affair.

First of all, under the Oban-gumi, a new "Odaiba Group" was formed, which recruited the children of the samurai as the backbone of elite soldiers from the Gobankata, and mainly practiced the Odaiba on a daily basis, and was stationed in the vicinity of Odaiba and Uraga in peacetime.

Secondly, the shogunate planned to set up a new "martial arts training field", located in the tsukutsu subway artillery island, planned to teach martial arts and Western artillery to the shogunate and his children, and set up two university heads, which were concurrently served by the head of the Great Fan and the head of the Imperial Academy, and the head was taken as a peerless sword

Seiichiro Tani, a guest man.

The martial arts training field has attracted many famous masters to give lectures, including first-class swordsmen such as Nobuyo Otani of the Heart Shadow Flow, Iba Hachiro of the Heart-shaped Sword Flow and his disciples Torozo Mitsuhashi, Yanosuke Kondo of the One Sword Flow, Inoue Hachiro of the North Star One Sword Flow, Momoi Haruzo of the Kagami Akechi Stream and Matsudaira Main Tax Susuke of the Yanagi Gang Flow, and spear masters such as Takahashi Nishu of the Self-Acquired Stream, as well as the lectures on archery and fighting are also held by famous masters.

The spear technique here refers to the traditional art of assassination with a wooden gun, and the teaching of iron cannon and large barrel is held by the shogunate iron cannon Fang Inoue Sao.

Mr. Tanan and Oguri Tadashun are very optimistic about this - what age are they now, and what is the use of engaging in swordsmanship, spearmanship, bowing, and fighting? A large number of famous people can get together and have a grand event on the art of war.

Moreover, the appointment of the iron cannon Fang Inoue Zuo Taifu is also very problematic.

The Inoue family was a hereditary member of the shogunate's iron artillery side, and his knowledge of the Western military situation was limited, and the two military techniques he most admired were "three-stage strike" and "white-knuckle bargaining".

The three-stage attack was passed down from the Sengoku Momoyama period, and it was a tactic more than 200 years ago.

And the white blade is even more ridiculous, you are a teacher of iron cannons and big barrels, advocating cold weapon melee tactics, I don't know if it is to echo everyone or really think so, anyway, a name that is not doing business can't run away.

Moreover, this Inoue Zuo Taifu is quite jealous of his ability, and when the "pit viper" Torii Yaozang brought down Takashima Shiro Taifu, this person jumped up and down - Inoue once trumpeted that Takashima's Western military formation was "almost child's play and harboring evil intentions", and he was extremely slanderous.

Oguri Tadashun believes that even if the famous Takashima Shiro Taifu is not brought back, it is necessary to involve Mr. Tanan, a giant of Orchid Studies who is proficient in iron cannons and large barrels, who had learned iron cannons from Mr. Tanan at the suggestion of Naohide in his early years, and knew the power of Egawa. But the shogunate didn't mention it, as if Mr. Egawa had suddenly disappeared.

And what made Oguri most dissatisfied was that a large number of professors and lectures were mentioned in the appointment of the martial arts field, which was obviously not prepared for a day or two, but he and Mr. Tanan had not received any news before, so this was a long-planned plan to exclude the two.

The first article of the "Trial Decree" is to "build coastal defense and reform the military system," and the second article is to "attach importance to the wind and know oneself and the enemy."

It's not to blame Oguri for being obedient and careful, this second one hit him too hard.

Since Oguri became a Nagasaki Mesuke in 1846 and Nagasaki Mesuke in 1850, Oguri provided the shogunate with a lot of authentic and detailed information in the early days, with the support of Naohide and others, and later with the help of Hamhiro Yokoto, which was praised by the Shogunate, Ometsuke, and many elders.

Even though he transferred to Mimetsuke this year, he still controls the management of Wind Storytelling.

But this time, the shogunate appointed several new Gometsu, such as Hori Toshiki, Nagai Naoshi, Iwase Tadazhen, Okubo Tadahiro and others, and at the suggestion of these people, the wind story was directly managed by Omesuke, and although Oguri could still read it, he could basically only look at it.

Oguri Tadashun was very annoyed by this, in addition to the wind storytelling of Xianheng Foreign Company, the wind storytelling of the Languo Commercial Hall and the Tang Dynasty were all rectified during Xiao Li's tenure before they became meticulous and detailed, and he thought that he had made great contributions.

Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not say anything about the new Nagasaki Mesuke candidate.

This time, the whole channel was served in one pot, and Oguri was marginalized in the matter of wind storytelling, and he was very sad about it, thinking that the shogunate crossed the river and demolished the bridge, completely ignoring his own feelings.

The remaining few "trial decrees", in Oguri's view, are also "recruiting the back of the head", trying to weaken Mr. Tanan's influence in the orchid industry, he doesn't understand, why Mr. Egawa and he have worked hard for many years, and the shogunate has easily taken away the achievements of the two for many years, so they are not afraid that the two will be discouraged or even rebound?
