Early the next morning, Shiraishi Shoichiro personally visited Naohide, and after greeting him, he invited Naohide to live in Shiraishi's mansion, and said that there would be a cargo ship going to Hagijo in a few days, and Naohide could be arranged to take a boat at that time.

Naohide declined Shiraishi's invitation and pretended to want to leave immediately, but Shiraishi secretly complained in his heart, saying that he had recently heard that there was a gang of robbers running between Shimonoseki and Hagi, and it was very unsafe on the road, and he needed to wait for two days.

"Thank you, Mr. Shiraishi, it's okay, the three of us are all samurai, although the martial arts are not good, but a few thieves are not a problem."

"A few are heroes of the Eastern Kingdom, and they are naturally not afraid of a few robbers, but if a few are frightened, it will hurt the reputation of the Maori family, and if you really want to set off, please ask the Baishi convener and others to accompany you."

"That's embarrassing."

"It's okay, it's okay, read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, the scenery of Shimonoseki is very different from that of Kanto, and please taste them one by one."

After struggling to speak, Shiraishi appeased Naoxiu. After that, Shiraishi didn't work anymore, so he took the three of Naohide to play around in Shimonoseki.

Shimonoseki is the westernmost point of Honshu Island, surrounded by the sea on three sides and has beautiful scenery, and has been famous for its sea and land transportation since ancient times. The nearby Xiaguan Strait terrain is dangerous, the mountains and seas are intertwined, the waves are high and rapid, and the Kyushu is seen across the sea, which is quite a feeling of being close to the end of the world.

Not far from the sea, you can see Iwaru Island, where the decisive battle between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro took place. Naohide told the two students about the life of Miyamoto Musashi by the sea, and referred to the movie "Miyamoto Musashi" directed by Hiroshi Inagaki in later generations, which told about friendship, love, career, fame and fortune, personal spiritual pursuit and other issues. After listening to this, the three listeners were fascinated, sometimes scolding their friends, sometimes sympathizing with their lover Tsuko, and the three of them were particularly disgusted with Monk Sawaan, especially Shiraishi, who lived a luxurious life, sneered at Musashi's attitude towards the birth.

Naoxiu finally taught the two students, "Whether it's Zen or Kendo, you will only go to the evil path if you are ruthless." Mr. Musashi's achievements in the art of war are very high, and I can't comment on them, but even in the troubled times of hell, parents, relatives, friends, gay, friends, and even strangers have hard work and warmth, and there are many gray and despicable places, but as long as they are handled fairly. People should be strong and optimistic, enterprising makes people strong, optimism makes people happy, do not ask for full blame, deviate from the pure, will make life more and more bumpy. ”

After the incident on Iwayushima, Shiraishi became much more sincere towards Naohide, and in the days that followed, he invited Naohide to visit Sumiyoshi Shrine, one of the "Three Great Sumiyoshi Shrines of Fuso", Akama Shrine to commemorate Emperor Antoku who died during the Battle of Tannoura, Daisui Shrine with a staircase of more than 100 steps, and Kozanji Temple, a famous place to enjoy autumn leaves.

Not only are there many places of interest in the vicinity of Shimonoseki, but the market is also quite bustling, with Kamitsu dolls, puffer fish lanterns, and Akamaguan inkstones, and a variety of delicious dishes such as tile soba noodles, turtle shell shellfish, and Shiryuyaki.

The plate of the soba noodles is replaced with hot soba noodles, which makes the soba noodles crispy and delicious, and the unique soup stock is delicious.

Kameno Shellfish is a product of Chinese cuisine in Fuso. During the Heian period of Fuso (during the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty), the monk Kukai tasted a kind of fried pasta in the shape of a turtle shell in Chang'an, and thought it tasted good, so he brought the production method back to Fuso. In Fuso, the raw materials were changed from flour to rice flour, and later to rice cakes, and the production methods were divided into two categories: fried and fried, some with salt, some with chili, some with coarse sugar, and some with soy sauce after frying. The crunchy senbei is topped with condiments for a rich flavor.

It is also one of the traditional confectionery in Shimonoseki, which is similar in method and shape to dorayaki, and is made of flour and bean paste, which is also attractive when eaten with green tea.

But there is one thing that is not sensitive, and that is the pufferfish. Fugu is one of the symbols of Shimonoseki, and the chef arranges the sliced fugu sashimi on a plate one by one like a white chrysanthemum flower, dipped in soy sauce with orange juice, and the taste is extremely delicious. The shogunate banned the consumption of fugu because of accidents in which it poisoned diners. Naohide didn't eat it because he was afraid of death, and Shiraishi and Toranosuke and Gakujiro despised it, but Naohide just refused to eat and didn't let the two students enjoy it.

Zhixiu plays in the morning and lectures to two students in the afternoon. Naohide's assignments for the two students were mainly writing, poetry, mathematics, abacus, natural encyclopedia, geography and local products, economic knowledge, history, and biographies.

Shiraishi didn't care at first, he himself was proficient in economics, kokugaku, and waka - Fuso's kokugaku is Fuso's ancient literature and theology. But he happened to hear Naohide talk about some production improvement methods when he explained the four white rice, paper, salt, and wax, and thought it was very novel, so he discussed it with Naohide, and was very interested in rice and fish farming, high-temperature fermentation of gold fertilizer, beeswax in addition to the seed skin wax of black cypress trees, and beekeeping in winter sugar water.

After three days like this, Naohide was actually very interested in Tokusen-no-Tsuki (waterfall) in the west of Choshōshū, Kawaden Hot Spring in the middle, Kawaden Big Camphor Tree, Oni Castle Renshan, Fukuto-Inari Shrine, Kakushima, Jinomiya Shrine in the east, and Kakuen Temple, but it is estimated that Shiraishi refused to let him go deep into the territory, so he had to regret it silently.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Shiraishi invited Naohide to come to the house, and some guests introduced Naoxiu. It turned out that after the messenger of the Sekisho arrived at Hagijo, the Choshu Prefecture, the samurai discussed that there were many things in Choshu that could not be known to outsiders recently, including military exercises, so they simply asked Yoshida Jufang to go to Shimonoseki immediately, and then quickly let Naohide get out of trouble.

Poor thirteen-year-old Yoshida Intaro was studying at his biological father's house (Yoshidahara's surname was "Sugi", and he was adopted as Yoshida's adopted son when he was a child, and inherited the position of head of the family after his adoptive father died when he was five years old), and after receiving an order from his superiors, he borrowed a horse and rushed to Shimonoseki with the samurai of Sekisho.

Naohide had an expectation in his heart, and sure enough, he saw a young samurai at the Shiraishi Mansion.

"Good morning, Naoxiu-kun, this is my prodigy Yoshida Temple. Yoshidaden, this is Naohide-kun from Edo, and he learned this from his travels", Shiraishi introduced both sides after serving tea.

"I'm glad to be happy.,The two around me are the students of Takemae Toranosuke and Nakamura Gakujiro.,Long admired Mr. Yoshida's name as a famous scholar of Yamaga Ryubing.,Please give me a lot of advice."

"Fortunately, it's Yoshida Jufang below, please give me a lot of advice", Yoshida saw that Naohide was tall, his clothes were quite clean and tidy, and his attitude was very modest, and his attitude couldn't help but slow down a little.

And Naoxiu smiled at Mimi, but his mentality was not very calm, this was Naoxiu's long-awaited meeting, mixed with admiration for historical celebrities, and also contained his own worries about the actual situation, although the historical trajectory behind it was already clear, but as the historian said, "History is not a record, and a record is history".

There are too many details of history, and future generations can only speculate about the situation at that time, but it is difficult to thoroughly understand what happened at that time. How far can you go in this era? What a difficult question to answer. But there was no doubt that the young samurai in front of him had gone farther than most, so that countless contemporaries could only look up to his back.

The child samurai in front of him, who is trying to pretend to be an adult with a face, is Yoshida Shoin, one of the famous "Top Three Masters of the Restoration", which is really unbelievable.

Fuso society attaches great importance to fame.,Like to give celebrities nicknames such as Sanjie、Sanxiong、Three Feathered Birds、Four Heavenly Kings.,Some characters are indeed more powerful.,Some of the strength is more general.,Yoshida belongs to the group of strength.。

Later generations of Fuso scholars commented on the outstanding figures of the Restoration, giving such expressions as "the first three heroes of the Restoration", "the three heroes of the Restoration", and "the three heroes of the Restoration", which can be regarded as a folk recognition.

The "Three Heroes of the Restoration" are Yoshida Shoin, Sakamoto Ryoma, and Takasugi Shinsaku, the "Three Heroes of the Restoration" are Okubo Ritsu, Kido Takayoshi, and Saigo Takamori, and the "Three Heroes of the Restoration" are Sakamoto Ryoma, Takasugi Shinsaku, and Katsukaishu, among which the "Three Heroes of the Restoration" are complementary to the "Three Heroes of the Restoration", which means heroes and heroes.

There are a total of seven names in this, and the other five candidates do not seem to be controversial, only Yoshida Shoin and Katsu Kaishu are indistinguishable.

Among these seven people, Takasugi Shinsaku and Kido Takayoshi are both students of Yoshida Shoin, which means that Yoshida Shoin accounts for nearly half of the total, so it is conceivable that Yoshida Shoin has a lot of weight in the history of the Restoration.

In the eleventh year after the establishment of the Meiji regime (1878), Fuso's Tokyo Mainichi Shimbun published a commentary listing the 14 major heroes of the Meiji Restoration in the minds of Fuso people: Minomi Sanjo, Iwakura Gumi (Koshi), Saigo Takamori, Okubo Toshitsu, Kuroda Kiyotaka (Satsuma), Kido Takayoshi, Hirosawa Shintomi, Omura Majiro, Maehara Kassei, Yamaguchi Aritomo (Choshu), Goto Zojiro, Sakagaki Kensuke (Tosa), Eto Shinpei, and Sokushima Tanetomi (Hizen).

These heroes all lived until the establishment of the Meiji Restoration, and they were all members of the new regime, in fact, they can be renamed the 14 ministers of the Meiji Restoration.

Among the fourteen ministers, Kido Takayo, Maehara Kassei, and Yama Prefecture Aritomo are Yoshida's students, 21 percent, which is quite high, and Yoshida's own experience is also called legendary.

Yoshida Shoin, whose real name is Sugi and whose young name is Toranosuke, was born in Matsumoto Village in the eastern suburbs of Hagi Castle, Choshu in the thirteenth year of Bunsei (1830). When he was young, he was passed on to his uncle Yoshida Daisuke, who was a teacher of the Yamaga Ryu Military Academy, as an adopted son, and when he was five years old, his adoptive father died of illness, so Yoshida inherited his uncle's family business, and then at the age of eleven, he gave a public lecture on the art of war, which was praised by the lord of Choshu.

In the third year of Kaei (1850), he traveled to Kyushu in order to learn Western military affairs, and studied under Sakuma Zoyama.

In the fifth year of Kaei (1852), because he traveled to the northeastern countries without permission, he was sentenced to death, expulsion, and deprivation of Shiroku, and Yoshida Shoin became a ronin.

In June of the 6th year of Kaei (1853), the U.S. fleet led by Matthew Perry arrived in Uraga, and Yoshida rushed to Uraga overnight, and was shocked to see the huge Western warship.

In January of the first year of Ansei (1854), Matthew Perry led seven more U.S. warships to Uraga again. In March, Matsuin Yoshida and his student Kaneko Shigesuke boarded the rice ship at night, and asked to go to the rice country with the ship to study, but after being refused, they were arrested by the shogunate on the shore, and then they were escorted back to Changzhou to be punished, and they were released from prison in the 2nd year of Ansei (1855), and were ordered to think about it behind closed doors at the Sugi family, and later entered the "Matsushita Village Juku" under his uncle Tamaki Funojinosu, and became the master of the school a year later.

From June of the fifth year of Ansei (1858), the shogunate Daidai Ii Naobu concluded unequal treaties with rice, Rucia, England, France, and Lan without the approval of the emperor, and public opinion in Fuso was boiling, and Yoshida Shoin organized students to prepare for the assassination of the shogunate's old Nakaechi, the former Sabae domain lord Makabe Kankatsu, and Fushimi enshrined the Iwamurata domain lord Naito Masashi, and the news leaked and was arrested and thrown into Noyama Prison again.

In March of the 6th year of Ansei (1859), the "Ansei Prison" was held, and the shogunate arrested those who were active in the Yiyi and the Hitotsubashi faction. In May, the shogunate ordered the Choshu Clan Mori clan to send Shoin to Edo, arriving in Edo in mid-June, where Yoshida Shoin wanted to meet the then chief elder Nakai Inaobi and confessed to his plan to assassinate the old middle mankabe Kankatsu, and was taken to the Kozukahara Execution Ground on the morning of October 27 to be beheaded at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.
