Haohao soup soup, no one can stop it.

In short, when the great change comes, you can obey, you can fight, you can participate, and you can even hide far away when it does not exist, but no matter what, it is there, with an invincible momentum, or Mount Tai is overwhelming, or the spring rain moistens things silently, changing everything and affecting everyone.

The crowd in the midst of the Great Change, like a school of fish before a storm, feels a certain breath and must do something.

The same was true in the second year of Bunjiu (1862).

"The Northland Heroes are quiet and moving".

When Okubo Riji said this, Naohide really wanted to say:

"You feel it, too."

But with such unfathomable words, in the end Naoxiu still didn't say:

This is the second ordinary person, which is very good, and it can be said that the ideal is immortal and the blood is immortal; The second of those who can govern the government, the pit is not one person, and it is especially easy to involve the people and be struck by lightning.

However, Northland is about to move, and Naoxiu really has to respond positively:

These people in the Northland have finally developed a skill, and now if they want to do something, you have to ignore it, in case it is considered to be blocking other people's progress, it will be bad - there is no way to progress, and a fool supports you

Fortunately, as the leader, Naohide's ability to draw flatbread over the years has also been practiced, and he told Okubo:

"It's easy.

However, if the wise man is serious, you and I still have to plan carefully. ”

It's really not pure flickering, Naohide and Okubo met at the end of July, no, it didn't take long for the opportunity to come.

On August 18, 1862, Saigo Yorimu came to the door to see Naohide, and as the elder of the family, she came to the door on behalf of Matsudaira Yoho, the new head of the Kyoto office, and discussed with Naohide about the two families of Aizu and Hakujo going to Raku.

In fact, this matter should be easy to discuss, Beidi Jingji thinks about moving, and Aizu is difficult to ride a tiger, both of them have to do it, so everyone will be in the same boat.

But if only things had to be that simple.

After communicating with each other's troops, horses, grain and grass mobilization plan, Xixiang and Naohide were dumbfounded, this is easy to do, but it's not their own trouble?

It turns out that this Huijin and the white lord are like two errands to deliver letters, the dry food and everything is ready, who can be trusted to give it to, whether people will receive it or not, but these primary questions are not yet written, so they dare not go on the road.

This time in Kamiraku, Aizu Matsudaira Yoho is the representative of Kyoto, and the white lord is to assist Aizu, and the first duty of the two families is to quickly settle down the boiling Kyoto and Kinai.

But the problem is that it is easy to deal with stability for a while, and it is enough to use force to suppress it, but if you want to completely solve the problem, under the tracing back to the source, the two families are calves pulling the cart, and they have more than enough strength but not enough strength.

Nowadays, Kyoto is restless and rampant, and its roots lie in two aspects:

First, in the past three years since the opening of the port to the outside world, prices have skyrocketed and the people are not making a living, so the ronin is rampant and the people are in turmoil;

Second, in recent years, the shogunate has made a lot of tricks, which has led to a great drop in prestige, so taking advantage of the opportunity of the imminent combination of the public and the military, the ministers and the princes are happy.

If these two fundamental problems are not solved, it is estimated that no matter how hard Aizu and the white lord work, it will not be able to save the poor, and it will be purely a dog biting urine and empty joy.

Saigo Lai's mother and Naohide both understand this truth, otherwise, at the beginning, Saigo solemnly mentioned what he was doing.

It's foolproof, this kind of good thing can easily be the turn of the errand runner.

However, since Naohide dared to get on the boat and participate in the fire, he was also prepared, so he came up with a few ghost ideas for the Aizu Domain:

First of all, we have to stand firm, and don't mix anything except to maintain stability.

This market is stable, and the sword soldiers are used in vain, so we must take care of it, but the government and politics are all subject to the shogunate's consultation with the court and the princes, and the rest, don't ask, don't ask, don't ask, don't ask.

In short, when the sky falls, there is a big man on top, isn't this public going to go to Luo in person, and the two of us will be relieved when we get through it.

However, compared to Naoxiu's eyebrows, Saigo was still worried, and he told Naoxiu the truth:

"These people have also thought about it, but why not."

It turned out that Saigo and other Aizu retainers had also discussed in private, and it was best for Shangluo to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but if you think about it carefully, this can't be implemented:

The head of the house is a warm-hearted person, easy to be coaxed by others, and he can't endure it for a while;

Besides, this time it is a rebellion, and it is inevitable to fight and kill, and under the accumulation of grievances, if you want to stay out of the matter, it's not a dream.

Zhixiu smiled ghostly, this management boss is a science, and imagination must be rich.

He said to Saigo, isn't it over if you ask for a big order:

In Edo, let's ask the center to give an order to draw a circle of what Kamilo is doing this time; When we arrived in Kyoto, we asked the imperial court to issue an order to make public what the two families were going to do.

Your lord is a square character, and he has a big order to suppress it, so he must not overstep it, so he can avoid extraneous branches.

As for fighting, killing, hehe, it's okay to fight, but it's not that easy to kill.

Aizu had cultivated in Ezo before, and he had learned the methods of Naoxiu, so Saigo's eyes lit up:

"Anfang Mamoru do you have a good idea?"

This Anfang Shou is the official position of Naoxiu, which was earned when he was promoted from the acting official of the white lord back then, and this white lord Liguo Naoxiu became the elder of the family, but this official position has not been taken off, this is the light of the in-law Shimazu Qibin - Naohide is the old man of the Wanshi family, and it is actually reasonable to have an official position. And it is also Qi Bin's help, his son Mao Min's official position has also come down, Nanhua is too guarded, and the white lord is now completely justified.

Zhixiu smiled slightly, although this Saigo Laimu is known as erudite and wise, but she is holding back in Fusang, and her vision is still not broad enough:

He asked people to take out a few wooden boxes, opened them and explained them carefully, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard about Saigo.

What did Naoxiu come up with?

It's just a revolver with wooden bullets and tear gas grenades.

This rubber bullet can't be made, and although the wooden bullet lacks morality, it doesn't want to kill on a large scale, and this is also a helpless way; As for tear gas grenades, other compounds are not good, liquid bromine can now be mass-produced, and the low-profile version is the low-profile version.

In fact, Zhixiu still wants to engage in chili water, but the scientific and technological content is too high, and he has not understood it.

Saigo knew that Naoxiu was reliable, so he was very happy to hear it, as long as people don't die, what kind of hatred can they make, so their worries have gone to another level.

However, this thing is good, but it's certainly not cheap.

Let's just say that the revolver, with the arrival of foreigners, this thing is also available in Fusang, but the price is so high that it costs almost forty gold a handle, and the copper-shelled bullet has to be counted separately.

Aizu Shangluo is 3,000 people, even if it is equipped with 500 people, just the revolver plus bullets, this is not enough, hey, only 25,000 gold, although the amount is not small, but considering that it is a hammer deal, if you buy it once, it is not unacceptable.

Otherwise, how can we say that technology changes life?

Then, Naoxiu, a bad-hearted person, asked people to take out a lot of armaments, such as rainproof tents, glass cans, cigarettes, etc., which simply dazzled Saigo.

But when he saw the military boots and steel helmet, Saigo finally reacted, it's good, but he can't afford it.

Seeing that the picture was poor, Zhixiu saw that the heat was almost over, and he talked about the last question of the day:

"Don't worry, this military service, hard work, you have to earn some money.

If you don't get it right, the investment will come back in two years. ”

Saigo was shocked when he heard it, what, the shogunate still has to earn money for military service, so I'm blind.

He told Naoxiu righteously:

"Kyoto is the seat of the imperial court, and it is also one of the three capitals of the shogunate, so don't even think about this barrage and extortion of the market!

Bai is mainly fighting this thought, please forgive Aizu for turning his face ruthlessly. ”

Naoxiu laughed when he heard it, Saigo's words were so intense, but he didn't dare to say that he would let the white master go, this was really Shangluo.

It's good to know that you're afraid, these two can have a discussion, if it's really reckless, the white lord really has to be careful - pig teammates, fairy pits.

However, as Saigo said, Kyoto is one of the three capitals, and the Plain is a place of wealth on a par with the Kanto Plain

It was extremely depressed by foreign goods, and since the Northland decided to send troops, it would not be a waste to improve the local economy and play a prestige achievement by the way.

Naoxiu muttered to Saigo, but Saigo slapped his thigh, why is it so troublesome, Aizu can do it.

Originally, Kyoto's Nishijin-ori, or textile industry, was very famous, but now that Fuso was opened to trade, the price of raw silk has risen in a rolling manner, so Nishijin-ori can't do it anymore, and there are many factories that have closed down.

And the reason, in addition to the rise in raw materials, this production efficiency is also a problem - foreigners buy raw silk, and when they go back, they also spin into silk, but the efficiency of mechanical weaving is high, which is the fundamental reason.

Naohide's meaning is to sell the new machinery in the north to the Nishijin weavers, and as for pulling Aizu, it is because the Aizu sericulture is developed, and this machinery has a wool use, and the raw materials are still in the hands of others.

And Saigo Laimu is not stupid, the finished product earns more than the raw material, everyone knows this, Aizu just doesn't have this craft, and now Naohide can provide it, so why do you let the people in Kyoto earn this money.

How about everyone settling down in Kyoto?

You have thick eyebrows, and you see that there is money to take, and you are a traitor!

But "preventing people from getting rich is like killing their parents", well, this Kyoto business has no clue, and the white lord and Aizu first have the intention of business cooperation.

However, the thief did not go empty, so Naohide had to tell Saigo Akira that the business in Kyoto and even was done by the white master, and even if he sold salted fish, he had to make a fortune.

Saigo said that as long as you bring Aizu with you, then it's not a problem, and it's good to make a fortune together.

The two of them carefully examined it and felt that there was nothing missing, so they took their own actions:

Saigo had to go back and report to the head of the house, Matsudaira Yoho.

In addition, there are a lot of good things that look good, although when the white lord Matsudaira agrees to help with the purchase, they will give a good price, but the problem is that it doesn't cost money. Doesn't this cost have to raise money, is it for no reason?

As for Zhixiu, he is the elder of the pen family, although his son is his own, he can't overstep his bounds, he always has to agree with Mao Min, and this white lord can send troops to Luo.

And this is a thousand people, if you really want to raise an army, that person eats a horse and chews, and he must also plan carefully.

But the next day, Naoxiu's letter hadn't been sent out yet, but someone came to visit again, and this time it was Okomai Chaowen.

This Komawell is now in a high position and takes the initiative to come to the door, which is a rare rare guest - even if it is a speculator, it will not be the turn of the big eyes to pay the horse.

And Naohide and Komai don't have deep friendships.,This special visit.,That's a big deal.。

Sure enough, Komai does have something important, he was sent by the public side of the family, and he discussed with Naohide about Shangluo - Aizu wants to pull the white lord on the boat, such a big thing, that Jiamao must also know.

But after hearing about it, Jiamao's heart was very complicated:

Counting it up, the white lord Matsudaira is his own hardcore, after all, his family head is the nominal son-in-law.

I have already decided to go to Luo, so this white lord will go to Kyoto first, which can be regarded as a good thing, and then there will be a strong army on the side of his family, which is not much safer.

But the problem is that the white lord has newly established a country, and with this division of troops, the northern land will be empty - this point coincides with Qingyong.

Moreover, others don't know, the white lord privately promised to pay 30,000 gold a year, this is the private money set by himself and his father's family, this Shangluo costs a lot, and the 30,000 gold can't be left without it - at this time, the general's family doesn't have much surplus food, and besides, private money, private money understands.

Therefore, he thought about it for two days, and then he made up his mind, this money can be earned again when it is gone, and there is nothing left when the people are gone, so it is better to let the white master go to Luo.

So, when it comes to the safety of the Gongfang, the big-eyed Fu Komai Chaowen has to make a trip, and he goes to Naoxiu here to make sure that the white lord must go to Luo, and if there are difficulties, you can mention it, and the Gongfang will help solve it, but it must be dropped when you go to Kyoto!

As soon as Zhixiu heard this, the public affairs had all been ordered, what else was there to talk about, it was imperative to take chestnuts from the fire, so hurry up and get ready.

As a result, the direction of the situation at the end of the Act inevitably changed direction, and the second year of Bunjiu (1862) became the beginning of all major changes.
