"Alright, please say 'the sea'."

In the Nijo Castle Castle Castle Tower, Afang, the favorite concubine of the president of political affairs, Yoshiki Ichibashi, made a bright smile at the camera lens when she heard this.

Looking at some dancing photographers Musashi Koganei, the celebration that has not been open for a long time can't help but show a little smile - after all, now that political affairs are in chaos, in addition to worrying, only the empathetic Ah Fang and the sadistic little Kanei can bring him a little joy.

But despite this, Qingxi still couldn't let go of it in his heart, he didn't understand, how could things be embarrassed like this?

In the second year of Keio (1866), under the influence of Keio's murderous work and the disturbance of Goryeo Bingyin, the trend of Fuso resurgence was revived.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, in February of the third year of Keio (1867), when the Shogun Ieshige was routinely in Kamirakun and the six countries gathered in Kyoto, Keiki joined forces with Sakai Tadashi, the first of the shogunate's elders, to attack together, and the political situation in Fuso changed greatly.

Afterwards, as the political president of the head of the Restoration, Matsudaira Keinaga was forced to resign, while Keiki and Sakai shared power:

As the "Governor of the Imperial Guard" of the Imperial Court, he was appointed by the shogunate as the "President of Political Affairs" and "Osaka Castle Dai";

And Tadashi Sakai, who was born in the four famous families of the Tokugawa pedigree, was promoted to the newly established "President of Domestic Affairs", becoming the first person to be a veritable shogun!

As for the shogun, Ieshige was left in Kyoto as an assistant.

After all, the new emperor of Fusang, who ascended the throne, was only fifteen years old, and he couldn't be pro-government, so he needed to be temporarily assisted by the general Zhengyi for a year, doesn't this just show the success of the combination of public and military - poor Jiamao, under the persuasion of his wife and palace, really believed it.

Both sides are satisfied with this result:

Keiki's status is once again transcendent, not to mention, and the alliance "Ichikai-san" formed by him and Aizu Rongbao and Kuwana Dingkei, this time completely controlled the Imperial Commander - Osaka Castle Dai, Kyoto Guardian and Kyoto Soshidai, the three positions combined, the 610,000 stone of Kinuchi Tendon was completely in the pockets of the three people.

And the shogunates, led by Sakai, did not suffer a loss, not only overthrowing the reform faction led by Keinaga, but also dumping the bitter errand to appease the armed faction to the Keoki family.

According to Sakai's thoughts, it is impossible for Keiki and others to swallow all of the 610,000 stone imperial collar in.

Thirty percent of them are the territory under the name of the banner, and this product, unless Keiki wants to cut himself off from the Tokugawa family, he still has to honestly pay the annual tribute.

In addition, the "Governor of the Forbidden Imperial Guard" was supposed to take 7,500 taels from the shogunate every month, which was also a share of 90,000 koku in a year.

As for the transfer of Osaka, isn't there still Osaka Castle and Osaka Town, and everyone is pulling each other's skins.

Besides, there are not enough benefits, how can Qingxi help communicate with the imperial court to bring down the reformers!

You must know that Sakai and others within the shogunate have a way, but the six countries are involved, and there are three families: Satsuma, Tosa, and Uwajima, and these princes are now a proper family of restoration.

If it weren't for the imperial court's help to suppress it this time, with the support of these foreign aids, how would Qingyong and others be willing to bow their heads and admit defeat.

And Keiki, Sakai and others dared to make trouble, and in the end they were able to get their wish, in fact, they were still affected by three things:

The first is Keio's murder.

Because a large number of fertile fields were converted into mulberry gardens and tea gardens, the price of Fuso rice, which had stabilized a little more in the first year of Keio (1865), began to rise rapidly.

In the second year of Keio (1866), the price of rice doubled, despite the coordination of Naohide Hori, the Kannao of the Restoration faction, and others.

Whoever asked you to make the reformers call the shots, and in the second year of Keio, they signed a trade agreement with the three countries of Mir Niren (Bi~Rishi), Danmo (Dan~Mai), and Italia, and it would be a pity that the black cauldron of rising grain prices would not be on you.

The grain was bought by foreigners!

Thus the storm of rebellion began to rise again, and the reputation of the reformers began to discredit.

As for whether it's true or not, everyone has their own opinions, and they just talk about it if it's okay.

In fact, Keiki, Sakai and others all understand, because of raw silk, tea, and white wax

The price of camphor and other fields has been high, and the grain fields in Fuso have been continuously converted to other uses in recent years, and the grain shortage in Fuso was particularly serious in the first year of the Yuanzhi era (1864).

In the past, prices soared because some profiteers hoarded and speculated, but in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, food really began to be insufficient!

Back then, Qingyong and others, who were in charge of the government, bought grain from Miren and foreign merchants, and this problem was temporarily solved.

So, this pot was not actually made by the reformers.

But tracing back to the source, the food shortage was caused by the founding of the country's trade, so the reformists carried this pot, and they were not wronged at all!

The second thing that was unfavorable to the reformers was the "Byeongin Yang Disturbance" that occurred in Goryeo.

In July of the second year of Keio (1866), the Mi armed merchant ship General Shemon went to the coast of Goryeo and demanded that it open its port to the outside world.

At that time, the Mi people committed many brutal acts, and the Koreans went to war with them in a fit of rage.

As a result, Mi Ren's eyes were big and his hands were small, and to everyone's inexplicable surprise, the General Shemen was actually sunk!

You say, this "don't do porcelain work without diamonds", and the rice people have lost their face.

Moreover, although the rice people are shouting loudly, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and the matter seems to be over.

When this matter reached Fusang, the armed faction was greatly encouraged, and it was okay for Goryeo to be able to do Fusang.

What's even more weird is that Bingyin's foreign disturbance has not ended, and the foreigners have suffered a big loss after that:

Because in the spring of that year, Goryeo hunted down and killed Chechitan believers, including nine Flaren monks.

It may have been encouraged by the battle of the Yaluo, after all, the monk Zhang and the monk Ma were about the same, so the Buddhists conquered Goryeo with seven warships.

On October 14, 1866, the Buddhists began to invade Ganghwa Island.

This Ganghwa Island is the capital of Goryeo and the barrier of its capital.

Originally, everyone thought that Goryeo was miserable this time, although there were few Francis people, even if they did not dare to land and attack the capital of Goryeo, Ganghwa Island would definitely be looted.

However, what is surprising is that Goryeo, which has been locked off from the country, did not know where to get the new Western armaments, and on the night when the Buddha landed, two warships were blown up.

Moreover, the Goryeo soldiers and horses who reinforced Ganghwa Island actually had a lot of fun fighting with the Buddhist marines.

Originally, the Buddhists had to worry about future troubles.

In June of that year, he provoked a war in Annam, wanting to occupy Yonglong, Anjiang, and Haxian.

What is also a bad thing is that with the help of the remnants of the Tang long-haired army that retreated to Annam, the Buddhists were beaten to the brink - especially Shi Yada, the leader of the Tang guest generals, won every battle, almost terrified the Francis.

Therefore, this expedition to Goryeo, the Buddhist Europa government did not agree, and it was completely his own initiative of the head of the Far Eastern Army.

But Annan is not easy to bully, so he came to Goryeo to find a bargain, this is purely a long beauty to think beautifully.

Seeing that there was no hope of a quick victory, in fact, they could not win, so the Francis had no choice but to evacuate unhappily, and then went to the Tang people, the suzerains of Goryeo, to protest seriously.

Goryeo's victory over rice and Buddhism in the "Bingyin Foreign Disturbance", coupled with the success of Annam's resistance to the French, greatly encouraged the Fuso armed faction who learned of this.

But these people are majestic, and it will be difficult for the reformers who insist on founding the country.

As for the last thing that was unfavorable to the reformers, it was naturally the Fuso Emperor who did it.

Although the Fuso Emperor has always asked for the rebellion, he is still relatively wise, and has always maintained a vigilance and distance from the radical rebellion, and he has always insisted on the combination of public and military forces, believing that the rebellion without the shogunate cannot succeed.

In December of the second year of Keio (1866), Emperor Fuso fell ill and died, and he was replaced by the fifteen-year-old crown prince.

As for this crown prince, when he was young, he trusted his uncle and grandfather.

Who is the uncle, Prince Chiren, the original husband of the palace, and the general Jiamao have a hatred for taking his wife.

And his grandfather, Zhongshan Zhongneng, is not to mention, his whole house is full of fanatics who are armed with force-

In the third year of Bunkyu (1863), the Tenjugumi Rebellion killed the shogunate Gojo Castle Acting Officer, and entangled the Totsugawa villagers to attack Yamato Takatori Castle, and the eldest brother who took the lead was Tadamitsu Nakayama, the son of Tadano and the uncle of the crown prince.

Therefore, now the wind direction of the small court in Kyoto has changed, and military force has become the mainstream again.

All in all, Keio's murderous offense, Bingyin's foreign disturbance, and the imperial court's turn were the inducements for the reformists to lose power.

But what Qingxi never expected was that the reformists had fallen, but the situation they faced was not when the reformers were in power - but this time, the black pot had to resist itself.

In fact, no one thought that the reformists were struggling before, but after changing people, it was not as good as the reformers.

At the end of February of the third year of Keio (1867), Keinaga, the president of political affairs, resigned.

At the beginning of April, the president of domestic affairs who returned to Edo, the daimyo of the Harima Kunihimeji domain, Sakai Tadashi, began to purge the shogunates of the reform faction:

The president of political affairs, Keinaga, fell, and his henchmen, Hashimoto Tsunaki, Mioka Hachiro, naturally, like Yokoi Shicun, all returned to Echizen Fukui to gnaw old rice;

Hori Toshiki, who had previously presided over the signing of the trilateral trade agreement between Mirniren, Danmo, and Itaria, was forced to live in seclusion;

Originally left behind in Ito Hiromichi, he was ordered to retire;

The warship was commissioned by Minister Tsuneoka and Manjiro Nakahama left their posts and were transferred to the flag book;

Murata Nagatoshi was transferred to the martial arts institute as a student;

Nagai Naoshi, a reformist shogunist who rebelled against the water halfway, was promoted to Daimefu;

Mizuno Tadashi surrendered in time, and the position of Daimu Fu was retained;

Komai Asaka, who finally became Ometsuke again, was demoted to Kanding;

Kanding pursued Takeuchi Hotoku and Iwase Tadashi, and was secretly demoted by Mingsheng to Nishimaru to stay behind;

Kanagawa pursued Okubo Riji, and because of the excessive handover of foreigners and the humiliation of the Fuso system, he reduced the seal and became a permanent residence.

……

Counting Keinaga, who resigned before, and the two remaining Ihori Toshiken and Izawa Masayoshi who died of illness, the reformists almost lost power.

But, to tell the truth, the president of domestic affairs, Sakai, and others are still more measured:

First of all, the punishment for the reformers was not severe.

Not only was there no heavy punishment such as depriving the family name, but even severe punishment was very rare - except for Okubo Riji, who was unlucky enough to be killed as an example, but Yongyuju did not deprive the Okubo family of its flag status.

Secondly, there are also a few fish that have slipped through the net, such as Koguri Tadashun of Edo Nanandomachi, Kiyoshi Inoue Kiyonao, Kanjo Naohide Hori, and Kawaji Seimo of foreign countries.

Moreover, there are also those who have been promoted by the Restoration, such as Hori Rishi's son Hori Li Meng, who was promoted to Daimu Fu at a young age.

But Hori Rixi was forced to live in seclusion, where is Hori Limeng willing to do big eyes, not afraid of being killed by others.

However, no matter how Hori Shimon shirked it, he was finally appointed to serve as a minister.

To put it bluntly, Sakai and other conservative ministers still recognized the ability of the Restoration lineage, so they only carried out small punishments and major admonitions:

I hope they can be informed and interesting, and stop engaging in radical innovations such as "returning the original collar to the service".

If you are willing to know the current affairs and the light is the same dust, then you can still come out to do things in the future.

Moreover, the foundation of the Restorationists was the emergence of the Shogun Notomi after the visit of the Black Ships in the 6th year of Kaei (1853), who either served as coastal defense or were born in important positions such as the Nagasaki Commission, the Uraga Commission, and the Hakodate Commission.

If it is really wiped out, then I am afraid that the shogunate's new policy will not be able to continue-if it does not change, it will die, in fact, Sakai and others also know this truth.

But the question is, who is the main character, the score is clear, if the status of the flag is shaken or even not guaranteed, then what can be done if the reform is successful?

It's totally none of our business, isn't it.

But the loss of power of these reform ministers subsequently had a huge impact.

After all, Sakai and others are insiders and outsiders, and the lack of the Restoration shogunate is difficult to resolve the pressure of foreigners.
