When it comes to the celebration of the head of the Hitotsubashi family, there are two most famous things,

Keiki likes Satsuma black pork meat, so he is called "pig-like" by good deeds;

In addition, this person has a contradictory personality and often makes decisions and overturns them immediately, so he is also called "two-hearted adult".

But regardless of Keiki's life, in June of the second year of Bunkyu (1862), the son of Saiaki, the former lord of the Mito domain and the current head of the Hitotsubashi family, was once again pushed to the forefront.

As for why I say "again", it is because Qingxi has been a lot since childhood:

In the 4th year of Honghua (1847), at the age of 11, Keiki passed from Mito Tokugawa to the Hitotsubashi family, and there was a legend at the time that due to the faintness of Nishimaru-like Ieyo, Kokata Iekei was going to arrange for him to take over the shogunship - of course, it turned out to be a rumor.

But in the fifth year of Anzheng (1858), it was not a rumor that Qingxi, who was twenty-two years old at the time, became the son of the general - at that time, Qi Zhaoyi elected Qingxi as Nishimaru-like and Qingyong as the elder.

But Qingxi's fate was not good, and Qi Zhao's family was defeated by the then big old Jing Yi family, and this West Pill was not done.

Not only that, but in August of the 6th year of Ansei (1859), when the coffin of Ansei Prison was closed, Keiki was also punished with "prudence and dormancy".

Fortunately, Keiki only suffered for one year, and in March of the first year of Mangen (1860), the old Ii died outside the Sakurada Gate, and in September of that year, Keiki's punishment was lifted by the shogunate.

On June 7 of this year, the Imperial Envoy Saemon Governor Ohara Shigetoku arrived in Edo, and Keiki finally waited for a good opportunity to turn around—the imperial court edict suggested that "Ichibashi Yoshiki be used as a supplement."

But this thing is quite strange, the envoy Ohara has not yet issued an edict, the shogunate knows, the public side of the family Shigeru and the elder Matsudaira Keiyong personally summoned Qingxi to discuss, and the implication is to remind Qingxi:

"There is a difference between inside and outside, the shogunate has its own arrangements and reuse for Keiki, you must not be confused by the tricks of the small court."

It stands to reason that Qingxi should have known about this earlier:

This combination of public and military forces was jointly promoted by the Qi Zhao family of the Emperor and the small imperial court in Kyoto, and the two sides echoed each other in Edo and Kyoto, and the news should be exchanged.

But the trick is that now that the wind of rebellion is getting hotter and the ronins are gathering in Jinnei, the ministers of Kyoto have already fought together, and under the chaos, what does this edict say, Qingxi and Qingyong, the two generals of the Qi Zhao family, really did not send someone to inform them in advance.

Qingyong knew it early, he was a little better, and Qingxi realized it later, and it was inevitable that he was a little panicked:

"Why did the content of this edict leak in advance?

Why can Gongfang and Qingyong know in advance?

He suggested that I be 'see you later' or 'Elder, are these two sincere, aren't they fishing?' ”

Therefore, after returning home, after thinking about it, Qingxi felt that he still couldn't move without permission, at the very least, he had to confirm the news from all parties.

Therefore, after confirming that the envoy Ohara had indeed lived in the Shimazu house and went to the house, on the 8th day of the sixth month of the Japanese calendar, Keiki's henchmen came to the door.

Although the shogunate wanted to entrust Qi Bin with an important task, the attitude of the Shimazu family did not change much, and the celebrant met with the envoy smoothly, and the two sides immediately began to collude.

Speaking of which, the small imperial court in Kyoto is also painstaking, and the official position of "Saemon Governor" on the body of the imperial envoy Ohara Shigetoku is the original official position of Qi Zhao, the old feudal lord of Mito, which is self-evident, this is a reminder that Qi Zhao and his family should not forget their original intentions and continue to respect the king.

On June 7, 1862, the second year of Bunkyu (1862), the envoy entered Edo, accompanied by powerful daimyo such as the Satsuma Shimazu family, and undoubtedly "stirred up a thousand waves with one stone" and brought great turmoil to the political situation of the shogunate.

But let it rain and blew

Hit, these things are not about Naohide on the surface - he is now the head of the pen of the White Lord Matsudaira family, and he is no longer a shogunate minister like Hakodate, such a big thing, even if he wants to mix, there is no place for him to speak directly.

Anyway, what to do and what should be done, Zhixiu has done it before, but now, he has to stand by and watch.

But you can't get down to business, you still have to do this relationship.

On June 18, the idler Naoxiu got up early in the morning, and the poor northland sent a Western carriage to the public and the old man, but it was Naoxiu's turn, and he still had to hold his legs.

Originally, it wasn't so miserable, the shogunate stipulated, "If you have more than 200 stone Jialu, a samurai can ride a horse", but Naohide didn't dare:

The horses in the north are all snatched from the Lucian people, and compared with the short Fusang horses, they are all divine horses, so Zhixiu dares to ride a horse, and there are nobles who come to the door to ask for it.

Don't give it, offend people; Give it, this landlord's family has no surplus grain, isn't it good to keep the big livestock to open up the wasteland?

So, Naoxiu simply stuck to his legs, and he could still have a simple reputation somewhat.

In addition, Naohide rarely walks around outside, so it's good to have legs on his legs.

But today Naohide has to go out, this is the day when the first batch of overseas students in the shogunate set off, which is of great significance, so how can Naohide have to attend - not to mention leaving a name in history in the future, just rush to this group of people, most of them are the shogunate's sailors (captains), and Naohide also has to come to pick up a good fate.

But when it came to Shinagawa Minato, Naohide smiled.

Why?

Because there was chaos on the dock, it was a scene of life and death.

In fact, the overseas travel of this group of international students has long been decided, but by mistake, the result has been delayed until today. But after such a long delay, the family is still worried that there are several wives and daughters who are miserable and miserable, as if they will not be seen in the future.

In November of the first year of Bunkyu (1861), the shogunate ordered three steam warships from the rice people on the basis of the previous year's visit to Mi by Hamin Maru. But didn't the war between the north and the south start, so the rice people politely refused the matter.

In desperation, in March this year, the shogunate had no choice but to order a steam warship from the Lan people, and agreed that 15 people would go to the Lan country to supervise shipbuilding and study abroad.

These people were the essence of the shogunate, and they not only participated in the Tsushima and Nagasaki naval training centers in the early stage, but also continued to study at the Tsukiji naval training center, which can be said to be the seeds of the Westernization of the shogunate naval forces.

can look at this scene of crying, what I know is the send-off, I don't know, I think it is exile, and when these people come back from studying abroad in the future, I don't know how to feel at this time.

It's all here, and Naohide had to step forward to help persuade - there are a few people here who Naohide knows, including Jingo, the third son of Ome Fu Izawa Masayoshi, and his friend Hori Toshiki's former little follower Enomoto Kamajiro.

How did Naohide and Izawa Masayoshi meet?

It turned out that the Hakujo Matsudaira family was established, and Hakodate and Hakujo were officially separated, and in order to prevent Naohide from returning to Kitachi to make trouble, he was forcibly left in Edo by the shogunate.

But Naohide was retained because he was afraid that he would go back to make trouble as a Hakokan for many years, not seizure, so the name was "to assist in the investigation" - as for the investigation, of course, it was to introduce the experience of developing Ezo.

But Zhixiu is also an old man with a pen head of ten thousand stones, and he also carries an official position from the five lower houses, this cat and dog are not easy to disturb, and the important ministers are busy with infighting, so he is idle in turn.

But the Great Imperial House must have also retired.,This is a complete self-release.,So it's okay to let people bring Naohide into Edo Castle - Hakodate has sent new things to Edo in the past two years.,But as for how to use it.,How can anyone explain this manual clearly.。 In the past, the family didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but now, of course, I want to have fun.

When he was a general, his family would be considered lazy

Zheng also made himself weak, but now that he is a big palace, he doesn't care about anything, but his body is getting better day by day, and even his temper is not so irritable.

But Naoxiu is not a child, and it is inevitable that he will feel bored playing with, so he made a bunch of Western villain books, comic books and the like, hoping to get rid of some of them.

These are the introductory textbooks for the promotion of Western scholarship in the Northland, and they are used in an entertaining way.

But I didn't expect that Naoxiu was moving a stone and shooting himself in the foot, and Jia Ding liked to watch it, but there were many problems and thieves, and he was messing around, and Naoxiu actually became the enlightenment teacher of Jia Ding's foreign studies.

This gold is shining everywhere, because Zhixiu talks in simple terms, and it can be new when it comes back to the source, and it usually leaves a manual work or something, so in the future, not only the family is fixed, and the husband and wife love to listen, and sometimes the public Fang Jiamao and the palace couple who come to greet the family also began to join in the fun.

Because her husband didn't die, Atsuhime didn't control the big Ao if she had something to rely on, but what is good about the big Olympics, and the palace hasn't been annoying for a few months, but it's not as good as Nishinomaru here, there is eating, taking and having fun.

But the general Jiamao usually has to deal with political affairs, which is similar to the palace old man going to Nishinomaru, so it is quite criticized.

But Hegong is arrogant, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and Jiamao loves him more treasures, what does it matter? In the end, it alarmed the ministers, and it was not easy for the old man to participate in the general's family affairs, and this heavy responsibility fell on the head of Da Mufu.

But Izawa Masayoshi and others came to see it a few times, but they didn't jump out of anything wrong - there is a royal curtain to isolate the inside and outside, and there are female officials and close attendants present, which is not good to say, but it really does not violate the rules.

And it doesn't matter if you don't jump out of the problem, now Westerners are the number one problem in Fuso, Izawa Masayoshi and others actually heard the subtle words here - Naohide was mixed with the forum before, and he took a hundred and fifty years of advanced information, even if it can't be said that he understands foreigners better than foreigners, but there are still some aspects.

Izawa admired Naohide's knowledge very much, and afterwards after being introduced by Hori Rixi's father Hori Riken, he and Naohide actually became New Year's friends.

Originally, Izawa Masayoshi had arrested Shiro Takashima before, and Naohide still had a grudge. But Ize also knew that this matter was a thorn in the heart of the Lan scholar, so he clarified the matter when he met with Naoxiu in private:

At that time, there was a secret trade in Nagasaki, and Takashima was sent in the town year, and the matter was quite deep, which was the fundamental reason why Izawa raided Takashima's house.

Okay, there was Mr. Tan'an who married a daughter before, and Naohide was flashed out, and now this Takashima Autumn Sail secret trade, Naohide can also accept it - as for Izawa's sweep of Dashio Heihachiro in Osaka back then, Naohide won't ask, and then ask what's wrong, it's not even more troublesome.

Besides, Ize is now a big eye, this intersection of knots, and his person is still an important part of the straight show serial set, so what else to say, cleanliness can't be used to govern.

Seeing that Izawa also took the time to send his third son on the boat today, he had to say hello when he met - in fact, Naoxiu had already visited Ize because of his son's study abroad, and he also gave a big red envelope at that time.

So, there are not too many good words, and the car said it again, and finally appeased Izawa:

Because Hakodate is also one of the three ports of the open port, it makes sense that Naohide has a relationship with Westerners.

John Jr.'s Huitong Bank and Foreign Bank have expanded their business back to England, and this local contact information was given to Shingo Izawa and Enomoto Kamajiro.

There are people outside, so naturally the Izawa family is much more relieved.

And it's also a good thing that Shingo and Kamajiro are away from home and can take care of each other.

No matter how long the farewell was, there was an end to it, and finally everyone packed up their mood and watched the fifteen international students board the ship and go to sea.

Naoxiu wanted to go home, but Izawa grabbed him:

"If you have something to ask for, it's better to bother Zhixiu Hall to come with me."
