Chapter 12: The Riche – Who Is Betraying Whom (Part II)

Nowadays, the Qi Zhao family is extraordinary, and the general Jiamao is tied to the palace, so in the second year of Wenjiu (1862), the current one old middle, six old middle and three big eyes are all in favor of the combination of public and military forces in the second year of Wenjiu (1862).

But in reality?

Among the ten people, the elder Nakahisai Hiroshu and Matsudaira Nobuyoshi, these two had worked with the deposed Ando Nobumasa, and the three of them to promote the navigation strategy - the navigation strategy is also a combination of public and military, but it is mainly based on the founding of the country and opposes rash recklessness.

However, in the current situation, one of these two can change his mistakes, and the other continues to come out, saying that they really support Zhengyi, and no one believes it.

The remaining eight do not have the burden of the above two unlucky eggs - they do not support Kuyo and Matsudaira, but it does not mean that these people are in favor of using force:

Let's take Ome Fu Izawa Masayoshi and Okubo Tadashi as an example, the former did Nagasaki commission, and later when the second black ship visited, he was Uraga commissioner, and this person participated in the signing of the first founding and pro-agreement, and Kanagawa (Yokohama) opened the port, Izawa also contributed a lot, according to past performance, it was not a force at all;

And Okubo Tadahiro, not only when the black ship visited, but also was the head of the Fanshu Institute (formerly known as the Institute of Foreign Studies), in the past, he was much more active than Izawa Masayoshi in the founding of the country;

In the end, this founding faction has to count Matsudaira Keinaga - as the first "elder" of today's shogunates, although Keinaga is a strong advocate of Qi Zhao's lineage, but under the influence of his cronies, he is now a complete founder in his bones.

Speaking of which, the old Nakawakizaka Azuku was also considered the founder of the country, but because this person repeatedly jumped back, no one dares to confirm this position now.

Okay, even if Wakisaka is dismissed, there are as many as five of the founding faction in today's one old middle school, six old middle schools, and three big eyes Furi.

Five-to-five, isn't it a tie, but it's actually not!

The remaining five people, although they do not belong to the founding faction, the problem is that there is only one one who really wants to be destroyed by force, and that is the new old Nakamino Tadashi.

But it's not so much about Mizuno's rebellion, it's better to say that he will oppose whatever Jiushi supports - this is the adopted son of Mizuno Tadashi, and the first loyal state in the former old school was brought down by Kushi's brother-in-law Abe Masahiro, and they are old enemies of each other, so Jiushi is the founding faction, and Mizuno must be the Zaoyi faction.

The remaining new veterans Itakura, Inoue, and the remaining big eyes Fu Komai Chaowen, these three usually do not show the mountains and water, and only play Taiping boxing, so this arrogant position may be there, but to say firm, it is also very suspicious.

In this way, where is it five to five, in fact, it is five to one, the five founding parties of Keiyong are one of the Mizuno factions, and then the three of them are neutral, and one of the Riche Wakisaka is uncertain - he hooked up with the Maori family, so it can be counted as a fuss for the time being.

Hey, this is not right, isn't it that the wind of rebellion is very strong now, Qi Zhao and his family have turned over, why did the ministers change their stubble, and the founding faction still has the upper hand?

Actually, it's not surprising at all, why?

Of course, it's because the 200-year-old shogunate tree has deep roots.

This long-term team has a particularly obvious characteristic, that is, the orderly inheritance.

The new superiors, there are four old middle school members, one big eye fu, counting the "big old" Qingyong, six of the ten top shoguns are new, but these people don't jump out of the stone all of a sudden-without Brother Monkey's ability, this ordinary person has to be promoted to a level of boiling.

For example, among the four new veterans, Mizuno Tadashi was promoted from Wakanian, Itakura Katsutsu and Inoue Masanaka were originally temple shrine practitioners and part-time performers, and only Wakisaka Anzhai was turned over by salted fish, relying on drilling camps and speculation, and suddenly rose from idle homes - but Wakisaka is also the chief of the old middle, and he is not afraid of anyone when it comes to qualifications.

As for the new Daime Fu Okubo Tadahiro, as a famous minister, he has been held many important positions, and the position before his promotion is also such an important position in foreign countries.

Among the six people, only Elder Qingyong ascended to the sky in one step.

But Qingyong had also fought with Jing Yi Naobi before, but he didn't win at that time, so if you really count it, this is not a rash promotion.

Therefore, relying on the hand of inheritance and order, although it is now a new wine in an old bottle, this new wine is also made out of the old jar.

So, the ten people who participated in the evaluation meeting today, although on the surface they all echoed and supported the combination of public and military, but in fact, they all had their own positions, and in the final analysis, if they want to govern and figure out the same color, as long as the shogunate is still there, let's dream.

Of course, these old foxes have their tails hidden deeply, and they have calculations in their own stomachs, so no one knows that this combination of public and military forces under the banner of rebellion, if you look at the tendencies of the current shogunate rulers, this has already ended before it has begun - what nonsense!

It stands to reason that since in fact, most of the ruling parties do not want to fight and still want to unite with the public and the military, so why not directly support Jiushi

What about Ando's long-term navigational strategy?

Isn't it a fool's throw and a wasted effort to mess around like this!

This question can be answered in one sentence, that is, "the view of the portal"!

Qi Zhao shouted fiercely, but Matsudaira Keinaga, Shimazu Qibin, Date Sojo, and Yamauchi Toyonobu in the first series actually advocated the founding of the country, but Qi Zhao was the leader, so everyone had to follow him.

Moreover, speaking of which, everyone is arrogant - Qi Zhao is inclined to use force, and these few people also agree, but they only ask to open the country first to strengthen their strength.

At the end of this scene, there are almost no people who really lie down and ridicule the two factions of the founding of the country, and even the founding faction is actually a faction, but they just feel that the time has not come and their strength does not allow it.

Of course, these people are all born nobles, so they think of themselves as extraordinary, and they all want to do the big government according to their own ideas, but after calling friends and forming a party, they find that there are more wolves and less meat, and there is only one rudder, so there is a fight.

For example, this major change of ministers in the shogunate, if you really want to say that it is caused by political opinions, it is actually better to say that it is caused by the situation, political opinions and political disputes:

In terms of form, after the opening of the country, the prices were boiling and the people were not happy, and the government and the opposition looked back and pondered, only to find that Qi Zhao had a prescient name!

When the black ship came to visit, Qi Zhao put forward the "Five Evils Theory" - also known as the "Theory of Harmful and Unbeneficial Trade":

What is imported from another country is useless, and what is exported from Fuso is useful. What is useful is easy to use what is useless. is the first evil;

Increasing exports will lead to a shortage of Fuso materials, which is the second evil;

Insufficient material use will cause prices to boil. is the third evil;

The actual profiteers are a very small number of businessmen, while the people are the real actual losers, which is the fourth evil;

Even if the export goods are exchanged for gold and silver, it is still difficult to make up for the lost part, which will inevitably lead to people not being able to make ends meet, and eventually become the five evils.

Looking back now, I count them one by one, and everyone Qi Zhao is not wrong!

Of course, at that time, the country was opened to trade because it could not defeat the Western countries, so let's not mention it first.

Now that the government and the opposition are suffering from foreign trade, everyone thinks that Qi Zhao is still far-sighted, so you have to take a closer look, what else did this person say, is there a solution in this?

If you look for it, there is really one, that is, "respecting the king" and "soaking up".

As a result, public opinion and well-intentioned people fanned the flames, and this "public and military combination after the rebellion" has such a big momentum - of course, Qi Zhao's family is extraordinary, and he also has the qualifications to be praised.

It's not that no one raised objections during this period, such as the long-term navigation strategy or something, but they were all scolded back:

"What Qi Zhaogong said, dare to question this? Besides, I haven't tried this, so how do you know it won't work! ”

Waiting for the general Jia Shige to be in power, and then marrying the royal princess, this general trend has been achieved, so even if the shogunate opposes it, he doesn't dare to show it, in short, it's good to pretend first.

This is the situation today, and it is very interesting that there is not even a single one of the ten people in power who is determined to use force, but they all support the combination of public and military forces on the face.

If the situation is like this, then political opinions are not important, and it is better to engage in familiar political disputes.

Those present here, carefully divided, can be divided into the "remnants" of the Daijii Yi lineage, the conciliators of the Jiushi lineage, the supporters of the Qi Zhao line, and the neutral shogunates.

The "remnants" of the big old Ii line, there are two old ones, one of the big eyes, Matsudaira Nobuyoshi, Wakisaka Asutaka and Komai Asatoun:

Among them, Matsudaira Nobuyoshi and Ii were in-laws, and they were very close to each other at that time;

Wakisaka, although he made trouble later, Wakisaka was Ii's right-hand man before;

As for Komai Asahun, he wasn't a big eye in the Ii era, but he worked hard at the time, so he couldn't run.

After that, there was the conciliation faction of the Jiushi lineage, and Matsudaira Nobuyoshi could have been counted as his group, but now that he has lost power, there is only one person left in the conciliation faction.

Now it is the most supporters of Qi Zhao's line, the elder Matsudaira Keinaga plus the three new old middle Itakura Katsujing, Mizuno Tadashi and Inoue Masano, a total of four - in fact, Wakisaka is now also counted in this department, but everyone dare not trust him, no way, there are too many times to jump back, and there is a criminal record.

The remaining neutrality is the two Daimetsu, Izawa Masayoshi and Okubo Tadahiro, these two inherit the tradition of the Great Body Banner, who supports whom in the center, if you want to say loyalty, it is also for the public to look like Ieshige.

To sum up, the number ratio of the Jingyi "remnants", the Jiushi reconciliation faction, the Qi Zhao family and the neutral shogunes is 3:1:4:2, among which the "remnants" of Jingyi are all carrying their tails as people, and it is useless to have a large number of people.

But if only the political controversy could really be calculated by numbers.

For example, the water of the same Ichimono with Mizuno Tadashi

Ye Zhongkuan was promoted by Jing Yi as the "Imperial Servant of the Imperial Side", although Zhongjing did not obviously fall to Jing Yi, but at that time he also followed the side of the person Zhongkuan to get a lot of light. But now the old Nakamino Tadahiro has fallen to Iyi's nemesis, Qi Zhaoyi.

For another example, the old man Inoue Masashi, who is now inclined to the Qi Zhao line, has in-laws with Itakura and Wakisaka, but the main room where he passed away was Matsudaira Tadagu's daughter - Tadagu and his brother-in-law Abe Masahiro have a deep friendship.

So, don't look down on Wakisaka Ann House, thinking that he is a cutter, in fact, people Wakisaka is a little rough and direct, don't talk about the second brother, who hasn't stabbed anyone with a knife - even if there is no now, it will definitely be in the future, often walking by the river, how can there be no wet shoes.

The elder Matsudaira Keinaga, who is now in power, is facing such a situation:

Not only did the small court and the shogunate have a lot of trouble, but the shogunate itself was also a mess inside - looking at a harmonious atmosphere, but in fact each had its own plans.

But if you pick your own melons, you have to eat them all by yourself no matter what.

The problem in front of us is that everyone wants to see their own jokes, and they are all happy to see the edict asking Qingxi to govern the government, hoping that they and Qingxi will have a gap because of the struggle for power, what can we do now?

It's easy to do, I don't dare to do a porcelain job without diamonds, Qingyong said that I have a way:

It turned out that Qingyong's method was to turn in the contradictions, and this matter had to be made by the public Fang Jiamao in the end.

But he is not a person who is not responsible, he said, "If it is not well arranged, my 'elder' can be allowed to serve as Qingxi." ”

The people present slandered:

"Yu Sanqing should be the 'elder', and there are so many moths in the shogunate now!"

But Qingxi said this, everyone is really not easy to pick on, after all, everyone has taken the initiative to let in, this attitude is absolutely reasonable.

In this way, the trouble to be solved by today's assessment meeting, the first article in the edict "General Shangluo" is no problem, and the third article of "Qingxi governance", the elder Qingyong has also given a solution, then only the second article remains, "It is advisable to choose the five major feudal domains as the five big bosses according to the old code of Toyotomi Taihe to consult the national government." ”

But this one, how tired you are of you.

Why?

The head of the five Toyotomi bigwigs is not someone else is the first general of the Tokugawa shogunate, Ieyasu, the Toyotomi five bigwigs tried to stabilize the world, but in the end it was Ieyasu who seized the authority of the Toyotomi family.

Therefore, mentioning this in the edict is undoubtedly saying that he is bald in front of the monk and slapping his face on the spot.

The key is not to say it in the face, if it is a good suggestion, it will be endured, although the current situation is not conducive to the shogunate, but the ill-intentioned intentions in this suggestion come to the face:

has set up the five big guys, if you don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Toyotomi family's demise, how can you care about it? Ishida Mitsunari shouted that Ieyasu was not bad and kind, but it was not still improper use.

If you don't stand up, hehe, the benefits that these five princes want to get haven't been reaped, then it's not about detaching from the shogunate.

"Only the name and the instrument can not be dummies", this is too right, Qi Zhao and the first family of kings have something to do, the small court is now holding the edict and the righteousness to do three or four, this is too uncomfortable.

The old middle school here is a pedigree of the great name, but to be able to serve as the old middle, the surface height of this territory is no more than 100,000 stones, not to mention that the five big guys of the imperial court are interested in others, even if the shogunate chooses it himself, this territory can't be selected as a big man.

As for Damufu, he was born in a flag book and was not even qualified to run for election.

Therefore, the same hatred and hatred present expressed their opposition to this, but Qingyong asked, and everyone immediately quieted down.

What did Qingyong ask? So he asked:

"This Satsuma Shimazu and Choshu Maori are now keen on the imperial court, so far they are among the five major candidates.

But if you look into the reason, is it the Tokugawa family's immorality, or is it the betrayal of the two families? ”

That's a hard answer.

Because the thing is clear:

These two families hooked up with the imperial court this year, and now they are almost traitors and thieves, but before that, people were really dedicated to the shogunate, and in fact, it should be regarded as a loss of morality in the shogunate.

But the problem is that the shogunate can't reverse this immoral situation!

Everyone is a person with a big status, and it's really hard to deny it indiscriminately, so just shut up.

No one jumped out to play tricks, Qingyong was very happy about it, this is all reasonable.

Next, he smiled slightly:

"It's easy. I have a plan, fame and fortune cannot be both, it depends on how the five princes choose. ”

Everyone present at that time was shocked:

"For more than two hundred years, how many important ministers and celebrities have not been able to solve this problem, can you solve it, you have read a lot of books, you are not lying to us, right?"
