Under the persuasion of Naoxiu, Egawa Hidetoshi carefully reviewed what his father Mr. Tanan had done in the past two years, and found that there was nothing bad about Taoguang raising obscurity, at least after this "Fusang Mi Country and Relatives Agreement", the turmoil in the shogunate did not affect his own family:

After the agreement was signed, the black ships of the United States withdrew from Edo Bay in batches, and after the news was transmitted back to Edo, Qi Zhao and others saw that the situation had eased, so they began to come forward to criticize the shogunate's "weak attitude and humiliating national system", and for a while, the old and middle-aged people led by Abe's attendants were embarrassed - in order to protest, the old lord of Mito, Qi Zhao, resigned from his post in coastal defense to show his break with the current old people, and the government and the opposition also regarded this agreement as an alliance under the castle and demanded that the negotiators be held accountable.

The old people can't say that the agreement is indeed an alliance under the city, but who can blame for this?

"The policy of locking the country formulated by the ancestors has caused today's skills to be inferior to others, you really have the ability, Miyi Heichuan was silent one by one when he was there, and when the situation eased, he jumped out and pointed fingers, it is really not a son of man!"

But the agreement was indeed signed by the old and middle schools, and now there is no excuse for being found, so I have to explain while temporarily tolerating, hoping that after a while I can think of a way to "turn big things into small ones".

Even the elders are like this, and the situation of the twelve ministers who participated in the negotiations can be imagined - some people sneered at their faces when they were on duty, and when they returned to the mansion, they also had colleagues come to ask them.

However, Mr. Tanan is not among them, he resigned last year from the Kanding Ginmi Service and Haiphong Hang-although he did not approve it, and Shinagawa Odaiba was proposed and built by him, and the wax moon also insisted on strengthening the vigilance of Edo Bay in the first month, Yu private family could not have been sick, and Yu Gong also took the initiative to prepare for war, so some people scolded but those who knew were unwilling to pull him - because if Jiang Chuan was held accountable, in case someone asked, "I can't do it." But what did you do to resist Miyi? "Wouldn't it be embarrassing, then?

Therefore, Mr. Tanan not only did not suffer any major grievances, but was "promoted", and was transferred from Kanding Ginmi to the re-established Shimoda Commissioner-although the black ships withdrew from Edo Bay, not all of them were gone, and a few of them are now moored at Shimoda Port, and the Miren Admiral Perry is still waiting to inspect Shimoda and then sign the annex, so someone must go to Shimoda to control the situation.

Speaking of which, the Egawa family still has to be "grateful" to the family Perry, and as soon as Kurofune comes, Mr. Tanan's request for resignation will be gone, and the Kanginmi service is a 500-stone service, and the newly established Shimoda government is a thousand-stone official, and if the real power is not considered, the Egawa family will be a blessing in disguise.

However, after Egawa Youngmin thought about his own affairs, he remembered the right thing, and he asked Naohide to ask the white lord about the "bad things" he pursued, why did the topic go to Edo!

He hurriedly persuaded Zhixiu bitterly, "The grade of clothes should not be mixed; Monarchs and ministers up and down, each has its own difference", Lord Bai, you usually like to toss as much as you like, I can not see it, but now that the shogunate has sent someone to supervise, you quickly order to fool around.

Naohide was shocked when he heard this, Edo is coming again, didn't Oguri Tadashun come last year, when did this wild place become so likable?

"It's not Miyi's trouble, but the two ports that are open, one is in Izu Shimoda, and the other is Hakodate in Ezo. Shimoda was re-established, and Hakodate was also required, so Edo did not send someone to inspect it. Fortunately, the Matsumae family sent someone to say hello in advance, otherwise, hum. ”

Yingmin was shocked to see Nao-so, he liked it in his heart, but the relationship between the two families was deep, and he was the white master, so he couldn't really watch Nao-su capsize, so he gave Nao-su a few suggestions:

"One is the issue of clothing.

The townspeople and the common people are just that, and the people must wear their clothes.

This is not negotiable, don't the shogunate samurai wear a robe!

The second is the issue of etiquette.

The person who came to inspect was Mime Fu Hori Toshiki, who also served as a coastal defense hanger, and was in a high position and had to be entertained well.

The third is the matter of privacy.

I know you've made a lot of mess in the White Lord, so hurry up and clean it up, so don't let people jump out of the way.

What else, I can't think of it for a while, you quickly gather your subordinates to sum it up. ”

Naohide's face is full of grievances, last year Oguri came and "raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes", and this year Hori Rixi must have been a toss again, which made people not do things!

But the form is stronger than the person, and Naohide pinched his nose and invited Okubo and the others to come, and after some discussion, he began to arrange.

Naohide was the white lord who returned on July 8 of the Western calendar, and as a result, Mimefu Hori Toshiki came on the third day.

The travel of the important ministers is really extraordinary!

From the dock to get off the boat, I saw more than a dozen people actually make a big scene:

First, there were two people walking in front with long sticks, which was to prevent anyone from colliding with the team, and then there were retainers with honor guards and spears - Naoxiu's eyes were about to pop out, such a long guy, it is not easy to place it on the ship.

Next is the main debut, Hori Lixi has an extraordinary appearance, but his attitude is quite gentle, and after Naohide Hori and Eitoshi Egawa stepped forward to salute, he comforted the two of them a few words, to the effect that "I just came to see the white master, don't be too extravagant".

Next were two sedan chair men, carrying a delicate driving cage, and Lord Yumu Fu sat on Shi Shiran.

There was also a horse led down in the back, and the middle and the little ones also carried a big bag and left the boat to get off the boat, and they tossed for a while.

Naohide was dumbfounded, the same Mime Fu Oguri Tadashun didn't have such a big pomp, it was a few retainers at that time, not to mention the cage, not even a horse!

Egawa Hidetoshi didn't care, when he came to the white lord to be a merger, to put it bluntly, he was a deputy to Naohide, of course, he couldn't shake his majesty, this shogunate's important ministers should travel like this, when the head of the Kaga million Ishishimaeda family visited the pilgrimage and explained, it is said that there were one or two thousand people accompanying him, and this is where to go in front of him, and it is very simple.

The road of the white lord is well built, the pozzolana cement road, which is quite flat, but Hori Toshiki's entourage is not satisfied - it turns out that the samurai wear clogs, and it feels good to step on them with a crisp sound; But the middle and the small ones are wearing grass shoes, and the ground is too hard, which is guilty! The more I walked against things, the more uncomfortable it became, so I mumbled and complained.

Nao-su and Young-min never dreamed of such a thing, but what can be done about it? I had to remedy it later.

From south to north, the white lord is the dock area, the factory area, the commercial area, the public area, the residential area and the camp, but now they are all closed and there is no one on the road.

The more Mime Tokori Toshiki looks, the more wrong he becomes, he gets out of the cage and asks Naohide what is going on.

What else could it be?

According to the shogunate decree, the townspeople and people outside Edo must retreat and bow down when they encounter a thousand-stone level of Gomesuke, but the white lord and these people are usually and Naohide, and they have never knelt, and no one is born with cheap bones, and they all stay at home when they hear that they want to kneel, and they can't afford to hide, so I don't go out to always do it.

And the town commissioner Okubo didn't want to be a flattering villain, so he turned a blind eye, but he didn't expect that Hori Toshiki was not a fool, seeing that there was no one on the street and road, it was like a haunted, so he deliberately came forward to ask.

"The people of the countryside don't dare to come forward for fear of colliding with the prestige of adults."

"I'm afraid that Hori has become a villain." Hori said with a smile.

How do you answer this, what if someone doesn't want you to call someone out? Really kneeling on the ground, Naoxiu's face is also good-looking.

It was Egawa Youngtoshi who saved the scene, and he said, "I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, and I can always see the people", Hori Rixi laughed when he heard it.

Fortunately, no matter how long the road is, there will always be a time to finish, and after Hori Rixi stayed, Naohide and the others breathed a sigh of relief, the summer days in the Northland were extremely cool, but the white lord was tossed and sweated profusely in his life.

Don't say anything, hurry up and prepare tea, snacks (fruits) and fruits, and by the way, take out the leather shoes from the warehouse, two pairs per person, and let the servants who came with Hori Toshiki change out the grass shoes.

Hori Rishi and his entourage arrived in the afternoon, and after the rest, the white lord had a banquet to entertain the imperial envoy.

As the saying goes, Edo officials are at the third level, Hori Rishi is the royal eye pay, and he is responsible for supervising the Quartet, and the white lord really has to serve the people well, otherwise the people will go back and crook their mouths, maybe Naohide will be unlucky!

However, the white lord is not luxurious from top to bottom, and how to entertain the imperial envoy can make everyone embarrassed:

Last time, Oguri Tadashun was a friend of the head of the family.,I'm not picky about anything.,So it didn't take much effort.,But this Hori Lixi, although the Miao character is also Hori.,But I can't fight with Naohide's "Hori" eight poles.,I didn't have any friendship before.,How to entertain everyone can't grasp the clue at all.。

In the end, it was still pursued and Egawa Yingmin stepped forward, "You guys don't care, listen to me!" ”

Located in the Soya Strait, it is a place where cold and warm currents meet, and there is a lot of seafood.

At this time, the atmosphere led to most of the people being vegetarian, so it was good to serve seafood directly, and at the same time, prepare more venison, bear paws, seal meat, and mountain delicacies, and people can eat whatever they like.

As for where to live?

This can't be helped, Naoxiu's own house is not big, and the white lord doesn't have a big house with rockery and flowing water at all, so he can't let the imperial envoy live in the camp, so he had to ask Yingmin to vacate the house - after Jiang Chuan Yingmin arrived at the white master, Naoxiu paid for him to build a big mansion with a garden in order to entertain his master's son, but he didn't expect to save the emergency by mistake.

But when the banquet began, Mime Fu Hori Toshiki looked straight, there was smoke and fire in this courtyard, what are you doing here?

It turned out that the white lord had invested a lot of money, and the fan group personally went out to hunt, and the nearby mountains, forests and grasslands were plagued all over again, several wild deer were caught, one unlucky bear also died, foxes, hares, and wolves were not good, especially all kinds of birds, dozens of them were made, and even the red-crowned crane also caught one.

In the Edo period, there were five treasures, the "three birds and two fish" were cranes, larks, oribes, snappers and anglerfish, and the three products of Ezo were salmon, silver carp, and kombu.

Egawa Hidetoshi sent someone to inquire with the accompanying servants in advance, this Mimefu has nothing to taboo, fish can be eaten, and meat can also be eaten - Hori Rishi usually eats venison, so the preparation is very hearty and has everything.

Sure enough, Hori Riki smiled when he saw the wine and food, this white lord is much more sensible than the Matsumae family:

Matsumae's hospitality is not bad, but how to say it, yes, it's too restrained, the dishes are exquisite but the portions are small, you say you're a Northland barbarian, but you learn the elegance of the princess, can you learn it?

This white master, sure enough, does not lose the rough nature, this large piece of meat is directly roasted, and the fat drips off and exudes a burst of aroma, which is very gratifying to look at!
