In 1809, the shogunate changed its name to "Kita-Ezo" in order to draw the relationship between Huatai Island and Fuso.

The bakujo was set up on the southern coast of Kita-Ezo Land, and it was the most remote area of Fuso at this time, even more remote than Izu Nanashima and Kata, where the shogunate often exiled prisoners, and it is said that even the samurai of the Matsumae Domain did not go there to serve their duties, and only Fuso merchants operated in the area.

The reason why Naohide was sent to North Ezo was that he did it himself.

In Naohide's letter to the shogunate, he gave a detailed account of the movements of the overseas countries at this time, and in particular, it was stated that Emperor Lucia appointed Nicholas in the fourth year of Yu Honghua. Nikolaevich? Muravyov was the governor of Irkutsk and Eastern Siberia, a close confidant of the emperor, and before taking office, the emperor instructed him to "speak more than much to those who are good at listening" - the implication was to let Muravyov go and do a big job, and the objects of the big work could only be the neighboring China and Fuso.

Moreover, Naoxiu said that this person was "so happy and fruitful", I am afraid that it will not be good for the north.

Originally, the shogunate had received reports that the Rusia ships had repeatedly provoked trouble in Ezo and Mutsu in recent years, and this time as soon as the news from Naohide was verified, the old middle school immediately believed eight points - the remaining two points were suspicious of how Naohide knew about the secret conversation between Emperor Lucia and his cronies?

But on second thought, this is not the case in Edo Castle, in order to prevent someone from eavesdropping~ listening, the old and middle school often use their fingers to write on the dust on the table, so it is not surprising that information leaks - the more secret things are, the more widely they spread.

It just so happened that the new head of the Fukuyama Matsumae family, Matsumae Takahiro, went to Edo Castle to visit the public office, so the elders asked him to verify the situation, and Matsumae echoed in a loud voice, "Your Excellency is really discerning" - Matsumae Fukuyama's family is weak, and those who are bullied by the Lucia and the Nanban whaling ships don't want it, and they basically belong to the state of lying down and being ridiculed.

The old middle school told Matsumae to go back and build a castle as soon as possible - the Matsumae family was not qualified before, and it was a museum built in Fukuyama, and the defense was not good, and this time the shogunate allowed the Matsumae family to build a castle.

Chongguang is the unborn hero of the Matsumae family, and when he saw that the shogunate only had verbal support, this was not good, and under his bitter begging, the old and middle school agreed to give the "hand as gold" 3,000 taels, and then they did not let go. Matsuzen grinded a few more times, and the old middle school perfunctory him "I'll talk about it later".

Matsumae was fooled away, but less than a year later, he sent a letter to ask, it's already "in the future", and my lords should give some help for the sake of the shogunate, and it just so happened that at this time, I brought Naohide back from Nirayama, and I was hitting the wind.

Taro Egawa Saemon engaged in blast furnaces and reverberatory furnaces in Nirayama, which was already full of storms in the city, and many people were waiting to see the jokes, but I didn't expect Egawa to do it!

The success of ironmaking is the correct governance, smart people will not make a fuss about it, and the group of people who oppose Lan Xue thought about it, and finally put the chess piece of Zhixiu on the chessboard.

In order to improve Fuso's strength, Naohide brought a lot of goods when he returned, and the old middle school did appreciate it and punished straight show in a low-key manner, but the old middle school will not cover up for straight show - the risk is too great, and violating the ban involves the face of the shogunate, so the punishment must be punished, and a lighter one is considered kindness.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and more and more genealogy daimyo and banner books know about it, although they can't overturn the decisions of the old middle school on the surface - after all, the public has agreed, but after all, this matter is reasonable, it belongs to a small tail or something, it may not matter to others, but it is accurate to Zhixiu.

It's a pity not to use this weakness, so Jiangchuan iron-making is a great success

We don't care how we reward the work, but we have to talk about this Hori Naoshu well.

The compromise after exchanging interests is the mystery of governance, and if you take two steps back, the old and middle schools are not of the same mind, and it is also the way to use people to suppress Zhixiu and pour some cold water on Jiang Chuan's gang.

Zhixiu has always held the idea of "good Jia is deeply hidden, and the gentleman Shengde looks foolish" - no way, now is the era of reincarnation technology, and talent is the cure of disease. Therefore, he didn't even tell the truth to Mr. Tanan and Oguri Tadashun to the outside world, but just said that he had made a fortune overseas and learned a little craft by chance, so the old middle school did not take Naohide seriously and sold it casually.

The Matsumae family has been complaining about asking for support, but the situation has not been good in recent years, and the shogunate has no surplus food, so the shogunate is ready to send people to Ezo to give spiritual encouragement - this is the old trick of Fuso, when Tokugawa Ieyasu was beaten by the military god Takeda Shingen in the three square plains, the eldest brother Oda Nobunaga sent an old man with three hundred soldiers, and the fart was not used properly, but the Tokugawa family couldn't find fault with it, so they could only knock out their teeth and swallow it, because the old family of the Oda family died in battle, and the courtesy was light.

The old people played a wishful thinking, the result did not sound - no one in the flag book was willing to go to Ezo, originally everyone heard that there was a business trip quota is quite enthusiastic, after all, the envoy to the local food, take some, play some, not only can engage in the people but also mix a qualification, but when I heard that it is a permanent resident, everyone quickly flashed, five years to come back once, the expiration of the term is not good to come back for another five years, I heard that the local winter snow is higher than people, dare to go to the people do not want to die.

Naohide is to catch up with this point back to Edo, as soon as he appeared, the eyes of the old middle school lit up, yes, it's you, so Naohide's stone height rose from 30 stone to 200 stone, but was volunteered to go to North Ezo.

Zhixiu can't say what he is suffering, because the atmosphere at that time paid attention to "a hanging life", which means "desperately guarding the territory inherited from the ancestors", which is translated into human words as "Shigao is passed on to future generations, only more and not less, whoever dares to reduce Zhixing we will play with whom", and rising Zhixing is absolutely face-giving, and no one can say what is not coming.

Naoxiu excused himself playfully, "I didn't make any contributions, I don't deserve the reward, you see this time, forget it, you don't have to go to the North Ezo Land", at that time, the musician of the announcement was moved, and this year is simple to look at the lower-level samurai, you see this person heard that the tears of the rise Zhixing flowed out.

The musician left the paperwork and went back to his life, and Naohide had not been in Edo for three days, so he had to hurry up and prepare to take office.

Because he can only come back once in five years, unlike the general flag book to take up a post in a foreign country, the shogunate authorized Naohide to take his son to stay but can take his wife to take office - originally the wife also had to stay as a hostage, but if they meet in five years, this hostage seems to have no weight.

Yingzi and her son Fukutaro have been separated for four years, and I don't know how many times they shed tears when they were overseas, but they were still trapped in Nirayama when they came back, and the end of the world was even more disturbing, and this time they refused to leave anything. Anyway, the shogunate is a grace, not an order, and it's nothing if the wife doesn't go.

But others are not easy to arrange.

After Naohide and Eiko disappeared, Murata Eitoshi ran back to Edo from Kochi, and the lord was gone, he was the chief retainer and had to take responsibility - as for Mizuki Private School, Yoshida Toyo looked good and took over to continue the operation.

Ninomiya Rice is Eiko's handkerchief, and he deliberately stayed to take care of Fukutaro, so after Fukutaro became the head of the family at the age of one, Hori's affairs were all supported by Yongmin and Rice.

People say that the tree falls and scatters, but the two big banners of Oguri Tadashun and Mr. Tanan support the Hori family, so the mess that Naohide saved is still there.

Katsugoro, Falato, and Yuei all served in advance and became the Hori family

The ministers, Yataro, and Izo also followed back to Edo with righteousness, and Murata Eitoshi also accepted them as retainers according to Naohide's instructions before his disappearance.

After the Motofu, Katsugoro changed his name to Hori, Hayato was Hori Naoyoshi, Yuei was Hori Yuei, Yataro's loyalty moved Yoshida Toyo and restored the Iwasaki family's status as a countryman, he is now called Iwasaki Yataro, and after the Tibetan Motofu, he is called Okada Nobujin, as for the other students, they all stayed in Tosa, and only Ryoma followed back and became the retainer of the Hori family, Sakamoto Naoin - because he was not at ease, his sister Otome accompanied him to take care of him.

The big cats and kittens in the Horiya Yashiki add up to ten people, although the jujube house group still gives the Horiya family dividends, but after adding the Horiya family, the household is not enough, although Naohide left a sum of money before leaving, but Murata Yongmin still opened a private school to subsidize the family. But unexpectedly, the following year, the Oguri family began to send money to the Hori family year by year, which caused everyone to worry in vain.

Although the shogunate Kaien allowed the young Hori Naotoshi (Fukutaro) to inherit the family business, the infant mortality rate at this time was very high, and if something happened, the Hori family was gone, so many neighbors persuaded Takemae Taro and Nakamura Shoichi to come up with the decision of their elders, even if they didn't change the head of the Hori family, they had to accept a righteous son for Hori Naotoshi or something like that. Don't laugh, this year's family is very high, and it's not funny to be a righteous son for a two-year-old child, if the dream succeeds, wouldn't it be beautiful.

Murata Yongmin and a few children took out knives and said that the young master would never have an accident, you want to eat fart, which dispelled the unnecessary thoughts of others.

Taro Takemae and Shoichi Nakamura felt that Naohide's words before leaving seemed to imply something - after all, when the children were young, husbands and wives always felt strange when they traveled together, but they were still suspicious, after all, Toranosuke and Gakujiro disappeared with Naohide and Eiko, and their son's life and death were uncertain, so it was inevitable that they would have a bad heart, but Fukutaro was a two-family bloodline, so he usually took care of the Hori family very carefully.

The other two of the four heads of the jujube house, Shigeru Kojima and Kuro Nakajima, don't have so much thought, after all, the Egawa family and the Oguri family value the Hori family very much, and blood is thicker than water, Taro Takemae and Shoichi Nakamura are also relatives of the Hori family, so the dividends from the Zaoya group to the Hori family have not been broken.

Murata Yongmin saw that the jujube house group was okay, so he came up with the formula of the heart-saving pill left by Naohide - after all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and he had promised before, Naohide was also afraid that he and Yingzi would have an accident and hang up, and Fukutaro would have no place at that time.

After all, the increase in domestic production from Tosa, coupled with the original business and the heart-saving pill, the development of the happy event is very good - people who have hope will not have so many crooked thoughts.

Considering Naoxiu's legacy, the Zaoya Group also gave up the Zaoya to Murata as a private school, of course, in exchange, the children of the Zaoya Group did not have to be bound.

Monk Hideen of Kaneiji Temple and Mr. Ito Genpo of Elephanten Juku also often came to visit Fukutaro, and the two of them said that although they opened their mouths for something, Naohide was cautious and did not hint at the two of them so obviously, so the two of them were genuinely concerned.

When Naohide returned to Edo from Nirayama, Metsuke knew that because of the success of ironmaking, the old middle school would pardon Naohide's prudent punishment, otherwise why would Naohide be brought back to Edo from Nirayama? Therefore, he just sent Ashigaru to monitor Naohide and did not put Naohide into the prison of Denmacho - the people who did it were all veterans of the icing on the Kinzan Mountain, and this favor was still in charge.

As a result, after Naohide was escorted to Edo Castle, he got an order to go to the North Ezo land on the same day, so Naohide hurriedly went around to meet his relatives and friends, after all, he hadn't seen him for four years, and this trip to Fenggong was another five years, and he might not see him again.
