On July 8, 1854, as soon as Naoxiu returned from Miaotun with his troops, Egawa Yingmin pulled Naoxiu into his roof and muttered - Yingmin saved up a stomach and asked, "This white lord is a maverick, Naoxiu, what are you saving in the white lord?" ”

Nao-su smiled and didn't answer, he asked Yingmin rhetorically: "Has Mr. Tan'an been comfortable in the past two years?" ”

choked the other party in one sentence - Yingmin said that the white master was "maverick", in fact, he accused Zhixiu of being ill-intentioned and even suspected of being rebellious, and Zhixiu asked him in turn, this sentence is actually not a good word, the implication is that Mr. Tan'an's usual hard work can be mixed up?

It's okay not to mention it, but when I mention Egawa Yingmin, I also feel awkward:

Before the arrival of the rice man black boat, my father's career began to flourish, and I originally thought that "when the black boat comes, his father is the banner of Lanxue, and the eunuch journey should go to the next level." Unexpectedly, a year is not as good as a year, and other shogunates who are proficient in Lanxue have been promoted, but the father has not been promoted but has been reduced, and even his own son has been affected - Egawa Youngtoshi has always thought that he came to the ghost place of the white lord to be assigned by the shogunate.

And what's even more disturbing is that the straight show in front of me still got up with the light of the Jiangchuan family, but the Jiangchuan family is unlucky, and this straight show has become a distant country, where to reason!

But think about it carefully.,It seems that the inexplicable transfer of my own family starts from knowing the straight show in front of me.,Could it be that this is my father's intentional arrangement.,Put me here to transfer to the straight show.,Well,It seems like there's really a possibility.。

In the tenth year of Tenpo (1839), because of the "prison of the Barbarian Society (Western-style Party)", my father was knocked down by the "pit viper" Torii Yaozo - except for the hereditary Nirayama acting official, his other duties were deprived of work and quiet, and his father could only teach in the rope martial arts hall for fun.

It seems to be the fourteenth year of Tianbao (1843), I can't remember the specifics, but Naohide saw his father and presented a few agricultural books, and I don't know why I got my father's other eyes - Naohide said that of course it was because of talent, is it because he is handsome! Hey, it seems like it's not out of the question.

After that, the Egawa family was completely transferred.

In the first year of Honghua (1844), because of the windmill "invented" by Naohide, the Egawa family and the Oguri family began to form an alliance - the Oguri family needed Egawa Tanan to endorse the windmill as a giant of orchid studies, and by the way, it was promoted in Nirayama as a demonstration.

In that year, Izu Province also reaped a bumper harvest because of the agricultural books offered by Naohide, and in the same year, the fall of Mizuno Tadakuni, the chief of the old middle school who launched the prison of the barbarian society, some people began to propose that the father should be re-released from the mountain.

By the way, Naohide was also promoted to the flag book because of his contribution to the harvest of Nirayama - Naohide smiled bitterly, obviously because he had made meritorious contributions to Nishimaru-like Jiaxiang before, and the shogunate pressed the credit for two years in order not to attract attention, and only rewarded the heroes in the name of the harvest of Nirayama.

Later, in the third year of Honghua (1846), Naohide also introduced the method of making honeycomb coal to the Egawa family, and the royal merchants of the Egawa family became a large supplier of charcoal to Edo, and they had a steady stream of income.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan Yingmin glanced at Nao-su and felt that "this kid is actually okay, he knows how to repay his kindness."

A rich and powerful ally, his father's talent was finally discovered again, so when his father was promoted to Kanding Yinmi, he returned to the center of the shogunate.

But then Naoxiu's kid "fell into the sea and disappeared" in Nagasaki - my father once sighed, saying that he was jealous of talents, and he was secretly jealous at that time.

Good people don't live long, but they do evil for a thousand years! In the second year of Jiaei (1849), Naoxiu and Yingzi and Toranosuke were pressed to Jiushan in disgrace, and they were really sorry at that time, after all, they were bold enough to dare to go to sea to study without permission, which was really fierce.

After so many years, his jealousy of Zhixiu has long faded, at that time, he took care of the three of them with good food and drink, good people have good rewards, Zhixiu actually learned the real thing overseas, and in a year he actually helped the Jiangchuan family to build the Jiushan Iron Smelter!

Of course, his father and son have been pondering and preparing for four or five years, but the paper is not pierced or broken, and Zhixiu has really helped a lot.

The iron-making was a great success, and Dad's prestige soared, and he hung up a coastal defense hanging-although it was a fictitious position for inquiry, but this honor was not low, and this was the service of pointing to the rivers and mountains, and he could not sit still without any real ability, which was the affirmation of Dad's ability by the public and the old middlemen.

Of course, Naoxiu also turned over with this, and jumped from a criminal minister to a flag of 200 stones, although he was sent to North Ezo, but after all, it was a glorious lintel - Naoxiu said that I gave away 100,000 taels of gold for nothing, and I could still hear a sound when I threw it into the sea, so how much is 200 stones? According to the calculation of four princes and six people, it will take me 1,250 years to return to the capital!

But since Naohide stayed away from Edo, my father has been unlucky in the past few years, and the Egawa family has also begun to decline, what is the reason for this, could it be that this person is the lucky star of Egawa? If that's the case, is it right to come to the white lord yourself?

Egawa Hidetoshi has been reflecting on how he ended up in this field since he was appointed as the White Lord, but Mr. Tanan just enlightened him to "rely on misfortune and fortune, and fortune and misfortune lurk", and did not give his son a deep study of the changes in shogunate - I'm afraid that Eitoshi won't be able to hold his breath, so he is really confused, in the past two years, the shogunate has vigorously developed the orchid industry, why did the Egawa family go downhill inexplicably?

He pondered here with a pensive face, but Nao-su waited for a long time and couldn't wait for an answer, and said in his heart, "Could it be that I stabbed Youngmin's lung tube?" I'm going to pull Yingmin on the boat, but don't be self-defeating", so he didn't dare to continue selling Guanzi, so he quickly coughed and began to analyze the reasons for Mr. Tan'an's bad luck in the past two years.

"The tree is a big wind!"

The Egawa family occupies the Nirayama Iron Smelter, and salt and iron are the great profits of the world, and unless Mr. Tan'an goes further in his career, not to mention Daimefu, at least he must be carried out by Edo Town and Kanda to protect himself from siege.

But where is the high position of the three commissioners so easy to get?

Besides, Mr. Egawa is still a giant of Orchid Studies, and his opponent Torii Yaozang has fallen, but there are many Confucian ministers in the shogunate, and the sea of people who can't get used to him has gone.

Let's talk about Torii Yaozang, he is the son of the head of the university, Lin Shusai, the hereditary head of the Lin family, the head of the official Xuechang Hei, and the important ministers of the shogunate are all protégés and former officials of other people-even your father, can he fight others?

Besides, why fight hard?

Let's take the Chuanlu Shengmo, who was promoted to the Kanding Practitioner the year before last, for example, he is also proficient in Lanxue, but he regards himself as a Confucian minister again, and usually avoids the dispute between Confucianism and Lanxue.

Jiang Chuan Yingmin's face was a little unsightly when he heard Naoxiu's words, but he also knew that this was a heartfelt statement, not a close friend who had nothing to tell him this, and in fact, he was also a little dissatisfied with his father's too many enemies, so he reluctantly snorted and agreed.

But he didn't want to just listen to this, no matter how good your analysis was, it would be useless if you couldn't come up with a way, so he asked Naoxiu: "What can I do?" That is, to ask, "How to deal with it?"

Naoxiu smiled, he said, "How do I understand this, I see that Mr. copes with it in an orderly manner,

It's breathtaking. ”

Ying Min was stunned, I don't know what my dad is doing - when people say that they want to build a new iron-making plant, he will give people things, and he won't even give a discount; Eight new coastal defense hangers did not speak, and said that the Odaiba layout of the Puga waterway was changed and did not refute, and when I was assigned to the white master, he was also sincerely afraid to resign from the service of "Kanding Yinwei Service" and "Haiphong Hanging" together, and prepared to go back to Jiushan to gnaw old rice, this is called "well-organized and breathtaking", your standard is too low, right?

Yes, at the beginning of December last year, the shogunate did not vigorously investigate the accident at the Nirayama Iron Works that caused a blockade to the public government, and promoted Egawa Hidetoshi to the title of "White Lord Annex". Mr. Tanan did nothing about this, but a month after he took office, he suddenly wrote a letter to the shogunate, citing "old age and poor energy", and did not do "Kanding Yinwei Service" and "Haiphong Hanging".

At that time, Mr. Tanan was fifty-four years old, which was indeed an advanced age at this time, and he was really busy and hard, and "old age and lack of energy" was not an excuse but a fact.

In addition to his resignation, Taro Egawa Saemon also made two suggestions:

The first is the relocation of the Nirayama Ironworks to Yokosuka, where the Yokohama Ironworks have already begun to operate, but Yokosuka has not made progress due to a lack of professional personnel and other reasons;

The second is to set up the Shimoda Shogunate in Shimoda Port in Izu Province, and ask the shogunate to "choose good materials and let them go".

No one can fault these two suggestions:

The Jiushan Iron Smelting Institute was founded by Jiang Chuan, and it is said that it took five years to plan alone. The bridge drawing board can't be too obvious, and the shogunate's system is still needed.

And the establishment of the "Shimoda Commission" is even more selfless - the Egawa family is the hereditary Nirayama acting official who was clear at the beginning of the establishment of the shogunate, to put it mildly, Izu Province is the semi-public private domain of the Egawa family, and as soon as the Shimoda Commission is established, the Shimoda Port of Izu Province and the surrounding territories will be directly set out, and people also require "choose good materials and let them go", that is, do not interfere with the candidates for the office, and who dares to say that Egawa is not loyal to this extent.

Besides, Jiang Chuan has thought of all the reasons for the shogunate - the commander of the Miren Navy, Perry, is cunning and untrustworthy, although Perry promised to come to Nagasaki next time and wait for the news, but what if the people are a false move? If you come to Uraga Port or Edo Bay at that time, you will be blinded. And even if the rice people don't come to this trick, what if other Western countries do the same? Uraga Port is the key to Edo Bay, so it's better to put it in Shimoda Port, in case, I said that in case of emergency, wouldn't it be farther away from Edo than Uraga to send it to Shimoda.

Jiang Chuan's two suggestions moved the new Gongfang Jiading (Jiaxiang was renamed Jiading when he became a general) and the old middlemen, such loyal courtiers of course had to be kept by gentle words, but Mr. Tan'an did not change his words, so everyone gave way after saying something:

You don't need to do it again in Jiangchuan, but in Jiushan where the iron smelting in Jiushan is located, Yingmin has gone to the white master, and the young people should fly high, but Jiangchuan, you still have to take up the heavy responsibility, and you can take on the "head take" you well.

But "coastal defense" can not be shirked, now is the time to serve the shogunate, Jiang Chuan, you are unwell, you can worry less about physical objects in the future, mainly for consultation.

As for the "establishment of the Shimoda Commission", we will wait until we study and study it.

At that time, Youngmin was still grounded at home, and he was very dissatisfied after hearing about this by chance, and he quarreled with his father because of it, and now Naohide said that Mr. Egawa's response was "well-organized and breathtaking", and he felt that this was not a backword, right? But he saw that Naoxiu's attitude was very correct, so he also thought about it carefully, and gradually felt that what Naoxiu said was really reasonable.
