Yoshida Injiro and his disciples were escorted onto a cargo ship bound for the Northland, and he wanted to run here, but where could he run in the vast sea?

In this way, he was sent to the White Lord, it was the middle of October, Naohide and Okubo were not there, and Gakujiro was also in Toyohara, and he was received by Murata Eitoshi.

As a result, the two quarreled when they were chatting about the military situation - it can't be said that they quarreled, Murata used war games to defeat Yoshida, Yoshida was not convinced, but Murata didn't want to say more, thinking that "how can the general of the defeated army be brave", but Yoshida was even more angry.

Injiro vowed to defeat Murata once, but are the world's military advisors so easy to defeat?

In this way, the two tugged and tugged until Naohide returned from Kamchatka.

At that time, Naohide had a lot of public and private things to deal with, so after meeting Yoshida Jufang in a hurry, he sent him to the township to study, and it was not until mid-November that Naohide freed up his hands to deal with this trouble.

The establishment of Baizhu Township Studies is relatively short, focusing on basic mathematics, physics and chemistry and ordinary humanities.

But when Naohide saw Injiro, he found that he really had him, and Yoshida could actually quarrel with the children who entered the school. Interestingly, however, Yoshida's student Shigenosuke Kaneko doesn't seem to be on the teacher's side either.

Yoshida was under siege, so he didn't notice Naohide's arrival, and Naohide hid and listened for a while before he figured out the point of the argument.

There are two points of contention between the two sides, one is the "theory of sexual goodness" and the other is "the one line of eternity".

Mencius? "Confession": "Everyone has compassion; Everyone has a heart of shame; Respectful heart is shared by everyone; Everyone has the heart of right and wrong. compassion, benevolence; The heart of shame is also righteousness; Respectful heart, courtesy; The heart of right and wrong, wisdom also. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are not imposed on me from the outside, but also by me. ”

The "Three Character Classic" from China also says, "At the beginning of man, his nature is good." Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching is to be specialized. ”

It turned out that Yoshida had nothing to do in the township, so he went around to listen to classes, because he was an old friend of Naohide, so no one restrained him.

But Yoshida didn't listen to it for a few days before he realized that something was wrong.

The textbooks of Bai Zhuxiang are selected by Zhixiu, and the basic textbooks in the humanities are "On the Tolerance of Religion", "On the Government of the Government", "Philosophical Correspondence", "Theory of the Social Contract" and "Confessions".

To be honest, the children didn't understand much, but Yoshida did!

He felt that Mr. Xiangxue had betrayed the scriptures, so he argued with the teacher.

The falsifiability of science is the school motto of Bai Zhuxiangxue, so the township teachers don't care too much, the truth is more and more clear, so come on.

Yoshida believed that textbooks should use classics such as the Analects, Mencius, the Book of Filial Piety, and the Book of Rites, and he also raised the banner of the theory of sexual goodness.

But what is good is that Yoshida, in order to stir up the atmosphere, he asked the children, "Are you good people?" ”

As a result, the children replied in unison: "No!" We're not good or bad, I'm who I am. ”

It's embarrassing.

In fact, the reason for the children's answer is very simple, most of the white immigrants are filthy, non-human, Hezhe, Ainu, and their previous lives were extremely miserable, "good people" bully good people, who do you say that human nature is good and deceives! - The inhuman beings were suppressed by the whole society of Fuso, the Hezhe people were mutilated by the Lusian people, and the Ainu and Fuso people did not get any good fruit to eat when they dealt with each other.

And Naoxiu also feels that there is a big problem with the "Theory of Sexual Goodness":

In his original world, scientists have found that "if someone has an extra Y in their genes, then they are more aggressive", so the "theory of sexual goodness" is simply untenable from the physical level. Besides, good and evil are originally a human concept, "what is good and where is the boundary", this question is estimated to be debated until the demise of mankind.

Moreover, the "theory of sexual goodness" and "the theory of sexual evil" are easy to cause moral kidnapping, and from the perspective of method @ theory, it is still more practical to "contract theory", at least the process is controllable, and the results are much more wonderful - in the final analysis, this is the dispute between "rule by man" and "legal system".

As for the "one lineage of all generations", this is the view of Fuso Shinto, and the myth of the small court proves the particularity of Fuso culture, which is the basis of the Mito doctrine in the Edo period.

"The Taoist, the public way of the world, the so-called same. The body of the country, the body of a country, the so-called independence. Monarchs, fathers, sons, couples, and young friends, the five are the same in the world. If the righteousness of the monarchs and ministers of the dynasty is superior to that of all nations, the independence of one country is also. ”

Listen, is this serious?

You're special and you're outstanding, and everyone has to give you three points.

Why, with a big face! According to the words of later generations, who is not a little princess, what is special about you, how long is the head or the nose?

Similarly, because of their upbringing and family education, children also scoff at the "One Generation".

Twenty-five-year-old Yoshida Injiro was a young man, where did he receive this, so he found someone to debate every day, and the adults were reluctant to argue with his old friends who pursued the adult straight show, only the children were tired of it, arguing with him every day, and never got tired of looking at Yoshida's red face and red ears.

Naohide knew that it was difficult to argue the result of this thing, didn't there be such a saying, "Why do you have to do anything to apologize", so he stepped forward to settle the dispute.

But Yoshida insisted that Naohide rectify the township school, and he had no choice but to let him continue to let him make trouble in the township, so he quickly took him with him to do things - he didn't refuse this Yoshida, as for the reason, it's very simple, he has no money!

A penny is hard to beat a hero.

At that time, he secretly visited the rice boat at night, but when he returned to the shore, the boat capsized, and Yoshida's luggage and belongings were lost; Later, he didn't have any business in Shimoda Port, and Mr. Tanan forgot to give him money; When it came to the white master, although there was no shortage of food, drink, and clothing, Naohide didn't know that he was short of money, so Yoshida and his disciple Kaneko Shigenosuke were now clean and shy in their pockets.

Yoshida is a tall person, and he is embarrassed to open his mouth to Naohide, but "there is reason to go all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without money", and he can't stand it anymore, so Naohide said that there is something to borrow, and he readily agreed, and easily became the guest general of the white master.

In December of the 5th year of Kaei (1852), Yoshida and his friend Miyabe Takzo traveled to the northeastern feudal domains of Honshu Island, but at that time they had left the feudal domain without official permission from the Mori family, and as a result, in December of the following year, he was sentenced to death, expelled from his military status, and deprived of his Shiroku.

So Yoshida is now a ronin, and there is nothing against morality in the white master.

But Yoshida wondered, in this cold and snowy world, Naohide said that there was an important production, but what could he do, it was difficult to make sake? I don't know.

Of course, it won't be sake brewing, but where is there such a thing to spare!

Since the realization of food self-sufficiency in 1853, the internal affairs of the white lord have initially entered the right track, and there is charcoal for heating, and now the winter can be busy.

In winter, the main production of the white lord is the production of leather shoes and leather goods, the production of weaving and clothing, the production of machinery and the processing of grain, in addition to the most important work, that is, the freezing of salt.

After the seawater freezes repeatedly, all that remains is a high concentration of brine, which can be boiled to obtain table salt.

Bai Zhu began to try to make frozen salt last year, and only this year to promote it on a large scale, but because of the large investment and unclear prospects, the businessmen only participated in a small number of shares, and it is still mainly government-run.

Salt and iron are the great benefits of the country, Yoshida Injiro is very interested in it, and the salt official has a taste, and Naohide finally settled him.

Naohide values Yoshida so much, and the people around him have guessed about it, but they can't think of what Naohide wants to do anyway:

The four feudal domains of the future Restoration are Choshu, Satsuma, Tosa, and Saga, and the other three Naohide are now in collusion, only Choshu is extremely xenophobic, and Yoshida is the breakthrough carefully planned by Naohide.

However, Choshu's anti-aggression was only gradually revealed in 1858, and it was nearly four years before this time, and Choshu was still a loyal vassal of the shogunate, so who would have thought that Naohide would start the layout now.

Injiro is extraordinarily talented, and he handled Shiota in an orderly manner, and after a long time, the white lords gradually recognized him, and at the same time, Yoshida also changed his attitude at the beginning, no more

Picking his nose and eyes, he began to humbly study various Western academics.

In fact, Yoshida Jufang only threw himself into the arms of the Mito doctrine, not because he recognized it so much, but because he had no choice.

After the Battle of the South China Sea in the 13th year of Tenpo (1842), Fuso people of insight began to redouble their worries about the invasion of the Southern Barbarians:

In the same year, Yoshida's teacher, Sakuma Kozan, presented the "Eight Strategies for Coastal Defense" to the shogunate through Sanada Yukikan, the head of the family at that time, saying that "the key to coastal defense is in the cannon and the ship, and the cannon is the first."

The following year, the shogunate abolished the Expulsion Decree and replaced it with the Fuel and Fresh Water Supply Order.

At the same time, people of insight from all over Fuso began to consider how to resist the invasion of the Nanbanians, and the Mito doctrine flourished.

What is the specific relationship between resisting the invasion of the Southern Barbarians and the Mito Doctrine?

The relationship is big!

The core idea of Mito Theory is the Huayi Theory and the Great Righteousness Theory, which can solve two important problems:

First, build confidence.

In the middle of the 17th century, Yamaga Soyuki (1622-1685) believed that "the water and soil of the country are outstanding in all nations, and the characters are exquisite in the eight principles, so the gods are oceanic, and the holy rule is continuous."

The Chu~ country here refers to Fuso, and the shogunate's strategy of seclusion and seclusion led to the beginning of cultural arrogance, and the Mito doctrine carried this forward.

By promoting the Huayi Theory, that is, the "One System for All Generations", the Huayi Theory hopes to increase the pride of the Kyoto small court through the world's "longest history", hoping to build up the people's confidence in the "excellent culture of Fuso".

In fact, everyone who knows how to do Fusang has deduced a bad conclusion, that is, it is very likely that they will not be able to defeat the invading southern barbarians, and they begin to find psychological sustenance under their weak hearts.

Second, we should seek ways to unite and support our so.

The shogunate vassal system at this time in Fuso led to inconsistent government decrees and infighting, and some people knew this.

However, it is possible to solve this problem by the "Great Righteousness Theory" of the Mito Doctrine, which requires that "the shogunate revere the imperial family, the princes revere the shogunate, the retainers revere the princes, and the common people revere the samurai," which is actually a doctrine that hopes to unite the internal forces of Fuso.

As for the development of the Mito doctrine to the "theory of kingship", that is, "respect for the king", it was after the signing of the "Ansei Five Kingdoms Agreement" in 1858, and at that time, everyone thought that the shogunate might not be reliable, so they had to push out the Kyoto small dynasty directly, hoping to further unite the people!

Therefore, Yoshida Injiro does not believe in the Mito doctrine without brains, but just takes what he needs - after all, the classic "History of Daifuso" of the Mito doctrine is full of loopholes, and the Fang family criticizes it.

In addition, Yoshida's teacher, Sakuma Zoyama, proposed this year that "Oriental morality, Western art, and both the inside and the outside, and the inside and the outside", believed that "with Oriental morality as the main body and good use of Western science and technology, Fuso can be rich and strong to resist Western powers", which is also a right way.

Yoshida himself had advocated "vigorously developing the Ezo land to defend against the invasion of Rusya", so it was impossible to say that he was not touched by the white lord after seeing the thriving scene.

In the fourteenth year of Tenpo (1843), the two got acquainted during Naohide's first study tour, and eleven years have passed, Naohide has become a distant country, and he is still showing his strength in the north, which is much more powerful than any empty theory, so Yoshida also slowly began to accept some of the concepts of the white lord - Naohide's emotional card has been played for so long, and it has finally come to fruition.

Busy and busy, before you know it, winter goes to spring, and the white lord has accumulated the strength of another winter, but there is a big problem in front of Zhixiu:

According to the trajectory of his original world, in the second month of this year's Japanese calendar, the shogunate designated the land north of Otobe Village, east of Kigunai Village, and the land in the south and west of the Toshima Peninsula as imperial domains.

But the white lord has invested a lot of money in Ezo, this thing is really going to happen, not to mention the chickens and eggs, and the white lord has completely lost the space to develop to the south, how can this be good?
