What is the matter with Izawa Masayi looking for Naoxiu, of course, it is to reclaim Ezo land.

It turned out that the song was reported a while ago, and the public was immediately approved - although Ezo was regarded as the hope of the shogunate's prosperity, it should not have been distributed to the various families, but the problem is that this hope seems a bit far away, and it is better to realize it immediately.

With this big root (radish) hanging, I believe that everyone who wants to eat the benefits will be much more honest; And now that the people are not making a living, there are many people who can't eat, and they are making trouble everywhere, so isn't it good to send them to Ezo?

Originally, the shogunate had been inherited for a long time, and everything would inevitably be delayed, but because this was one of the three fires of the new post of the elder Keinaga, he was staring at it, so things were progressing very quickly.

But the problem is that it's almost fast, and this action is inevitably arbitrary, and the first elder, the sixth elder, and the three big eyes are all included in the first batch of Qingyong's list to go to the north.

In fact, although these people are a little tempted, they really want to go to Ezo to cultivate, and they still have some drums in their hearts.

Taking the Fukui Domain of Keiei and the Matsuyama Domain of Katsushizu Itakura as examples, although the people's livelihood is withering now, these two are famous for their wealth:

In recent years, the Fukui clan has been affected by the existence of Yokoi, and has established the country with commerce, and has vigorously cultivated and industrialized the industry, especially the sericulture industry is particularly developed, and it has really made a lot of money in the current situation when the sericulture industry on the Europa continent is suffering from the epidemic;

The Bichu Matsuyama Domain, similar to the Fukui Domain, was trusted by Itakura, and Yasugoro Yamada (1805-1877), the "Sage of Bichu", was also able to develop specialty products on a large scale by adopting the method of farming and developing industries, so the feudal domain's financial situation was excellent.

In particular, Yamada was a very skilled user of the feudal clan, and was one of the few experts in managing paper money and public debt at the end of the Edo period.

Although the other families are not as wealthy as Fukui and Matsuyama, they are not too bad - if their own territory is in shambles, why should the shogunate promote these people, isn't it enough to think that the scourge is enough.

Therefore, although everyone knows that cultivating Ezo land is profitable, it is inevitable that there will be some gains and losses:

Everyone knows that the cycle of reclamation is long, and a large amount of money must be invested at the beginning, and the risks in it cannot be said that there is no risk, so should you do it or not?

And the three big eyes are even more entangled, their territory is only a few thousand stones, and compared with the old middle school who was born in the genealogy of the great name, the capital is less, so if it loses, I am afraid that it will not be able to turn over for many years.

But as everyone knows, Gongfang Jiamao and Elder Qingyong are all well-intentioned, and they didn't see anyone who was straight, and they earned a vassal country for their son in twelve years, so being able to be included in the list first is to be promoted, and they can't be faced.

This matter is about to be made public at the Edo Castle Grand Assessment in July, so even if you don't meet Naohide today, Izawa has to find a way to meet, and if you don't understand this, Izawa can't rest assured.

Naohide followed the Izawa family back to the mansion, but after a careful discussion, Naohide was dumbfounded:

It turns out that according to Ize's idea, send out a few retainers, prepare a sum of money and goods, and then recruit some homeless people, and the rest, the rest of the rest depends on the efforts of these colonists themselves.

"What the hell!"

Izawa served as the Nagasaki Commissioner, the Uraga Commissioner, and the Edo Minami-Town Commissioner, which is also considered to be a successive pro-private official, and the plan turned out to be like this.

But as soon as Naohide thought about it, he was happy, it turned out that Izawa was not stupid, this was Lai Kamihakokan's pursuit of Hori Rishi and himself:

Everyone, money, and things will be handed over to you, the snakes of the Northland, and you will do it!

This is effective, and naturally everyone is in harmony; If you lose, then don't blame me for being unkind to asking for trouble.

Okay, these old foxes have a good calculation, how troublesome it is to solve the problem, isn't it much easier to solve people.

There is really a good thing in this world that the bean bags fall from the sky!

Originally, Naohide promoted the reclamation of Hakodate for two reasons:

The first is to let the white lord establish the country through the exchange of interests, so that he can participate in political affairs in a legitimate name;

The second one is also to strengthen the strength.

Northland has been crazy to attract immigrants over the years, and now it's a little unsucky, after all, Hakodate is a commission, and dealing with various families is just like that, relying on relationships, giving benefits and sneaking, it is difficult to expand the number of immigrants on a certain scale.

And if the shogunate came forward to reclaim Ezo, even if there was no money, there would still be a decree, which was completely different from Hakodate's own stupid efforts.

But Naoxiu also dreamed that Damu Fu Ize actually wanted to come to an all-inclusive commission, this is not what a bean bag fell from the sky.

Of course, the Hakodate commissioner is now a hard-working Hori Toshiki, Izawa and others have taken a fancy to Naohide, but it is the foundation of his many years of business in the Northland, and it is estimated that he will inevitably borrow some money and food in the future.

But these people are worried about Zhixiu's money and things, and Zhixiu is also worried about the immigrants sent by these people, so the two who have ghosts hit it off and chatted very happily.

Since this time, Ome's request for Izawa has been triggered, and all families who are interested in going to the North Land to cultivate have come to the door one after another.

It wasn't until late July of the second year of Bunkyu (1862) that Okubo Riji arrived in Edo as the Hakodate Town Commissioner, and Naohide stopped - after all, the prefectural officials were not as good as the current management, and the land was still mainly reclaimed by the Hakodate Commissioner.

However, after all, the reclamation of Ezo land can only be regarded as a trivial matter compared to the combination of public and military forces, so in the past two months, Edo has been turbulent, and everyone's main concern is this major event:

On the 7th of June, the imperial envoy Ohara Shigetoku arrived in Edo, and within a few days, the minister entered Edo Castle to announce the decree. However, after the shogunate received the order, the envoy insisted on not leaving, and asked the shogunate to give an answer as soon as possible.

The edict says three things:

1. The princes of the public family Maoyi led the princes into the court to decide internal and external matters;

2. It is advisable to choose the five major feudal clans as the five bigwigs according to the Toyotomi Taihe canon to consult the state government;

Third, it is advisable to take Ichibashi Keiki as the auxiliary and Matsudaira Keinaga as the government, so we should work together to command China and foreign countries.

But none of these three things are easy to solve:

The first is "the general enters the court".

This doesn't seem like much, the shogun of Seiyi is also an official position of the imperial court, and the courtiers meet the emperor, and they do their duty, but in fact, since the eleventh year of Kanei (1634), the three generations of shoguns met Empress Meisho, and the Fuso Emperor and the shogun have never met again.

The tradition of not seeing the king is because the shogunate has been firmly suppressing the small court in Kyoto, why do you want to meet, add fuel to the fire and ridicule others, isn't it nothing to look for, so I simply don't see it.

But now that Qiankun is in a different position, this public square entering the court is the shogunate bowing his head and admitting defeat, how can it be so easy to accept.

Can you not go?

No.

Because two powerful daimyo entered Kyoto in April, the small imperial court is now very powerful, and now it has been cut off from the western country, and the area of is also very troublesome.

And the two culprits are the head of the Satsuma Shimazu family, Qi Bin, and the son of the Choshu Maori family, Dinghiro.

This Maori Dinghiro said that Choshu had changed back to the domain, but as a result, he turned into Kyoto halfway, which was difficult to wash away; But Qi Bin is different, he hugged Qu with the shogunate:

"I'm wronged, I entered Kyoto in April because of the Ronin incident at that time, and I had to do it as a last resort to stabilize the situation, how can I compare it with the Maori family."

Qi Bin dares to say this, of course, there is a basis:

On the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, the old man Ando Nobuyuki outside the Sakashita Gate was assassinated, and the Ronin of the people was stimulated by this incident and became more and more active - the Sakurada Gate Change, anyway, is still outside the moat of Edo Castle, but the Sakashita Gate, in the Imperial Curve Wheel, the assassination occurred in the heavily guarded castle, and the seriousness of the problem can be imagined.

When Qi Bin went to the pilgrimage to explain that he was passing by Harima Kunihime, more than 200 ronins stopped him and asked Qi Bin to change his route to Kyoto.

Qi Bin was shocked at the time, so he had to ask everyone to believe in the imperial court and the shogunate, saying that I knew about this matter, and I would definitely give you an explanation in the future.

But Qi Bin continued to walk towards Edo, and when he arrived at the Fushimi Office of the Shogunate, he was convinced that something was wrong, because at that time, the Ronin was gathered, and he actually succeeded in attacking the Fushimi Office, and drove away all the Fushimi Offices of the Shogunate.

Qi Bin set off from his hometown of Kagoshima in March, but when he arrived in April, he couldn't walk when he arrived in Fushimi - at that time, he was known as tens of thousands of Zhishi, and this Fushimi was beaten away.

Therefore, he turned a corner and went straight to Kyoto, the reason, if this Fusang Emperor was held hostage by the chaotic party, it would not be a big mess in the world.

And when he arrived in Kyoto, he found that there were many ronins from Satsuma, and he was thinking about making trouble with many people, saying that he wanted to follow the Fushimi change not long ago, and gather a crowd to attack the mansion of Kyoto Shodai and Sekihaku Kujo Shotada.

Therefore, Qi Bin made a decisive move and went to Fushimi in the southern suburbs of Kyoto

Teradaya not only got rid of his own ronin, but also arrested a lot of people from other domains, and the situation in Kyoto was a big one.

But the bad thing is that Sakai Tadayoshi, the director of Kyoto, heard that the Satsuma clan soldiers were in Kamiraku, and this misheard the rumor that the Shimazu family was going to rebel, so he actually ran to Nijo Castle decisively.

It's easy to run, but it's hard to come back.

The Kyoto office was swept away by this majesty, and no one was afraid, and the imperial court also sent people to condemn Sakai, saying that it was embarrassing and useful, so don't go back to Kyoto and be embarrassed.

Qi Bin had no choice but to continue to stay in Kyoto Zhenbazi, until May, when the shogunate sent Sakai Tadashi Kamiraku of the Himeji Domain to temporarily replace the Kyoto office, and then he continued to leave for Edo.

As for the envoy Ohara to follow, I can't let this - in case Ohara dies on the road, then the Shimazu family can't tell if it's not because it's full of mouths.

Well, Qi Bin said it tightly, it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.

As for the Shimazu family, who brought 1,000 people to the pilgrimage to confess, they were 700,000 stone daimyos, and it was not an exaggeration to accompany them with a thousand people as usual, as for taking the ordnance, it was not safe on the road now, and if you didn't bring the ordnance, you wouldn't be looking for death, so the shogunate really couldn't dig deeper.

The Shimazu family has passed, but what about the Maori family? This sneaked on Roco must be pursued.

At the beginning of June, the head of the Maori family, Keiko, was still in Edo, but Kei Qin also had a big push to say in the face of the shogunate's questioning:

"The long-term strategy of navigation was agreed upon by the two elders, Jiushi and Ando, and my Maori family was ordered to run for it, and there is no credit for this, and there is always hard work.

And the little dog Dingguang was kidnapped into Kyoto, I'm so worried, you ask again, this is somewhat unreasonable. ”

Yes, this one can be said more than the other, so the shogunate can't do anything about Shimazu and Mori - there are few daimyo who are willing to come to the pilgrimage this year, and these two have come to Edo anyway, so they can't chill people's hearts.

Of course, this Shimazu and Mori are famous families for generations, and they have been married to the Tokugawa family many times, and their status is not comparable to that of ordinary foreign daimyos.

Moreover, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, these two are extraordinary, and it is not easy to move without full certainty.

Now that the chaos has appeared, as soon as this joint makes a move, it will force the two powerful names to rebel, isn't it asking for trouble for himself for no reason.

Besides, now that the ronins are gathered in, this banner is to respect the king, and the root of this comes from the Qi Zhao line, one of the generals, Keinaga, became the shogunate elder, which blames Shimazu and Maori, not that the tiger does not fight flies.

At this time, the envoy Ohara Shigetoku jumped out again to add to the chaos:

"Doctor Maori, you don't know in Edo, Kyoto is in chaos now, and your son is not safe."

Therefore, at the end of June, Mori Keiqin begged the shogunate to go to Kyoto and find a way to save his son.

"If the son is gone, it's gone, it's not biological anyway", can you think about it.

In addition, Qingqin is usually very generous, and he says everything he says, a typical good old man, so the shogunate did not embarrass him, but entrusted him to go to Kyoto to mediate more - after all, the combination of public and military forces is the trend of the times, and the princesses of the imperial family have all married into Edo Castle, and they have to continue, which is a bit of a twist and turn.

It is estimated that these people in the shogunate center have not heard of it, and there is a saying that "wilting people come out of leopards", and Mori Keiqin went to Kyoto, which was a troublesome future.

However, after such a toss with Shimazu and the Maori family, the shogunate also understood, and it seems that this general is going to go to Kyoto, otherwise how will this chaos end.

But how noble the public is that the matter of travel must be postponed, and it is better to be complete.

There are three suggestions in this edict, the first one is stuck, and the second five bigwigs are not easy to do quickly, only the third one, "Qingxi is the sandwich, Qingyong is the government" This article is implemented quickly:

Keiei was promoted to the position of shogunate elder as early as June, not to mention, this celebration, in early July, after the Edo Castle assessment, on the 6th, the public party looked at Keiki as "the shogun will see you later".

When the news broke, Edo was in an uproar:

First of all, since General Jiamao is also pro-government, it is a bit excessive to set up a "general to see later" to supervise - at this time, Jiamao is only seventeen years old, and he is not very old, so it is a bit excessive rather than excessive;

But if you want to talk about supervision, Jia Mao's father's family must still be there, why let an outsider interfere out of thin air, this bully is bullying home!

Such a turbulent discussion naturally made Qingxi and Ohara feel like sitting on pins and needles.
