Chapter 10 Poor night in the middle of the empty seat, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods
The shogunate promoted the family of Hori to 600 koku, and also changed the white lord acting official to the white lord to serve the white lord, and its service was high 1,000 koku and the service material was 1,000 koku, and to be fair, this was considered to be a face and a satoko, so some other requirements were understandable - other distant country commissions also demanded this, not the only one.
What makes Oguri Tadashun dissatisfied is that the official document requires "Naohide to stay in the white master for ten years", which is too ridiculous, how can Naohide be idle in the north when he is really employing people now, but he can't say this, because this thing is the wax he made, and it is too shameful to say it.
It turned out that Okubo Toshiji was an envoy to Edo last year, and at that time he mentioned three things to Mr. Tanan and Oguri Tadashun, two of which were urgent, two were the earthquake and the visit of the black boat, and the other was that there was an abnormality in the Kyoto small court. Unable to explain the source, Naohide did not report it to the shogunate, but only asked Okubo to tell his mentor.
Afterwards, Mr. Tanan and Oguri carefully deliberated, and felt that the matter was important and must be played, and Jiangchuan himself was hung up on the coast, so the visit of the black ship could not be said, but the "earth earthquake" and "the small court had an abnormality" had a change This must be said, but how to say it?
The affairs of the small court are easy to do, and whoever says the two of them can do it, as long as the recent situation of the folk "Yuyin ginseng" and "ginseng" is truthfully described, but the "earth earthquake" is really difficult to open up - say that you dreamed of it? Why do you dream that others can't? If you tell the truth, if there is real evidence, Zhixiu still uses a twist and turn, and it will not be long before you report it directly?
As soon as the two of them are combined, they will not report it for the time being, and spread the matter among the people first, even if the people (farmers) and townspeople who have not heard about such a big thing with real evidence, will be suspicious, and each family must also make some preparations, if the shogunate does not pay attention to it, we will think of other ways.
Egawa and Oguri were both deep-rooted bannermen, and there were many protégés and former officials, and the business of the merchants under them was also quite large, so within two months, there were discussions in Mikawa, Enoe, Izu, and Sagami that there was a major earthquake in February of the following year, so the news finally reached the ears of the shogunate.
These four places belong to Tokaido, most of them belong to the territory of the imperial lord and the relatives and the daimyo of the pedigree, and it is the foundation of the shogunate, so after hearing the discussion of the people, the shogunate did not dare to be careless, and the old middle school asked the relevant shogunate to hold a meeting to come up with a way - if there are rumors of an earthquake in other places, you can ignore it, but this Tokaido has a special location, if you don't care, if something really happens, countless people will pounce on you and bite you to death!
This folk news,In addition to the direct management of the local government、Acting officials,The responsibility of the supervision of the target is also unshirkable.,So Oguri also participated in the meeting as the imperial eye payment.。
The Fuso Islands have had many earthquakes since ancient times, and generally everyone thinks that there are no small earthquakes, so what should they do, but this big earthquake is a Fuso people will panic, and the great earthquake in the Genroku period (1703) can occur in the Tokaido area, and it is said that the tsunami took the lives of 100,000 people, so everyone was very nervous when they heard it, so they collectively agreed, "Whether it is true or not, you must be prepared." ”
In order to show its attention, the shogunate not only issued orders to the daimyos, commissioners, and acting officials of Tokaido—it was rumored that it was difficult to explain that they had to ask all localities to prepare in advance, and they also sent Mimetsuke to oversee him—and this Ometsuke was Oguri Tadashun.
At that time, Mr. Tanan and Oguri were squeezed out enough in Edo, so Oguri was willing to go to various places to do something practical, besides, this rumor was made by himself, and he had to dig a pit to bury himself, and he had to do it with tears in his eyes.
In the spring and February of the sixth year of Jiayong, the beans shook far away. The mountains collapsed, and Odawara Castle was broken.
The earthquake was less than eight or six or seven according to the scale of later generations, but the destructive power was still very strong, the houses collapsed, the ground cracked, and Fuso wooden houses were prone to fires, and the only luck was that it did not cause a tsunami.
Before the earthquake, all parts of the country cursed and cursed, and after the earthquake, there was naturally a voice of praise for the shogunate.
And because Oguri insisted on getting ready in February, he naturally "decisive", "brave and strategic" and other reputations desperately brushed the tower like no money - the shogunate couldn't ask for it in the official document at the time point, this time I believed the folk rumors, what should I do next time? So it can only be understood that it can't be said.,Oguri is specialized in this.,By the way, it's the shogunate's wisdom and martial arts.,If it's wrong, it's Oguri's misfortune.。
This
The earthquake is much smaller than the previous loss because of the accurate judgment of the time, the preparation is sufficient - this is the credit of Xiao Li, he has always been to no one to give up color, in front of the public when the surname is a small surname, as long as you dare to ask him dare to spray, this time he forced the person in charge of the place to write a letter of guarantee, if the earthquake did not occur as scheduled, it is estimated that Xiao Li will have to go to the white master to find Naoxiu as a companion.
Because Oguri did a good job, Gongfang personally summoned him and praised him as "the unicorn of my family" - Oguri's family is the banner of the Tokugawa family, so the shogun called him "my family", not for other indescribable reasons.
But where there are people, some people say strange things, and there are many people who offend Xiao Li's straightforward heart, and it just so happens that he offended a Confucian when he was a small surname, and people have remembered this stubble for more than ten years, so this person said, "Get the right place at the right time, don't be overdone and hurt morality", what does it mean? This person is saying that "Xiao Li just caught up, and it is true that there are merits, but 'Kirin'er' is."
Oguri became angry when he heard this, "Do you know this or do I know about it?" Therefore, he asked to be told to the public separately.
This is also Xiaoli's character design plays a role, he usually doesn't take into account people's feelings, what he wants to say, often has amazing moves, change others, "Who are you, want to talk to the general alone, are you qualified?" "But Xiao Li is fine, he often did such amazing things when he was a small surname, he didn't know the rules, that is, if you asked him to speak, he would stab Lou Zi, and he would come when others didn't dare to say it, and the general Jiaqing would eat this set, thinking that Xiao Li had "loyalty" that others didn't have - isn't it, who dares to tell the truth with the public and offend people.
There was a big earthquake and the loss was not large, and the shogunate also reaped a wave of prestige, which is a rare good thing in recent years, so the shogun Jiaqing really wants to hear what is going on.
Oguri is crazy, who believes in predicting the earthquake months in advance? He asked all over the place to be prepared in February, and he also had a handful of sweat in his palms, just do it well, and do it to the extreme is Oguri's creed, and he also took it hard, and after this thing was done, he began to wonder if Naoxiu was not a monster, right?
Mr. Tanan said that this was the credit of Lan Xue, Xiao Li didn't refute it but decided in his heart that it was not, Lan Xue wanted to be able to do this, he ate his own hands! Later, he specifically asked Zhixiu, but Zhixiu couldn't explain, so he said that he saw a strange person named Nikolai in the United States? Tesla, who can be called a giant of Lanxue, sent himself a seismograph, and experimented when he returned to Fuso, which were the results of the experiment at that time.
Oguri naturally refused to believe it, and asked Naohide to take out the seismograph so that he could take a good look, Naohide said that it was lost in Nagasaki, and the matter became an unsolved case - when Naohide returned, Oguri served as Nagasaki's assistant, and with his help, the office did not carefully search for Naohide and others.
Of course, this incident hadn't happened before Gongfang Xiangjiaqing summoned Oguri, and Oguri didn't know what Naohide knew, but he felt that the matter was very important, and he had to talk to someone, just in time for someone to say that he had taken a shit luck, and he told Gongfang about it in a hurry.
General Jiaqing originally thought that he might have heard some mysterious things, but he didn't expect that the rumors were done by Oguri - Oguri was still cautious and didn't involve Mr. Egawa Tanan.
"You tell me directly that you will be able to do some folk rumors and violate the ban." Jiaqing shook his head and sighed, and was about to knock Oguri again in his mouth, but when he looked down, he saw a pair of big shining eyes, with "don't believe" written in his left eye and "deceit" written in his right eye.
"Forget it, spare your life, don't do it next time. In addition, this Naoxiu is a great virtue of a famous mountain and an ancient temple, why not be summoned to Edo Castle? "Actually, what General Jiaqing thinks is that this kind of demon is just for my use, how can I be outside to call for wind and rain? Hurry up and catch me and look at it.
When Oguri heard this, he misunderstood, and missed the word "Hori", and he honestly reported that "this person is from our family, and now he is gnawing dried fish in North Ezo" - Oguri told him truthfully, first, he was uncomfortable, second, he didn't want to spread rumors among the people secretly, and third, he and Mr. Tanan both wanted to transfer Naohide back to Edo.
But when the general Jiaqing heard it, he was shocked, there are many such things in the history books, and the monk is just right, this military general is so real
It's terrifying, "Extraordinary people do extraordinary things", these people are often born in the last days, and they often bring bloody storms, so he has a murderous intention towards Naohide - the Tokugawa family has never been Naohide, and if Naohide votes for another family or stands on his own, it will definitely make something big.
Oguri waited for a long time and didn't see Gongfang speak, he thought that Gongfang was wondering who Naohide was here, so he hurriedly said, "Naohide Hori is the one who treats Nishimaru-like diseases." ”
Jiaqing was stunned when he heard it, he gave birth to many sons in his life, but many of them died young, and now only the son Jiaxiang is an adult, licking the calf deeply, so he is very concerned about Jiaxiang's affairs.
Shizi Jiaxiang has been weak and sick since childhood, and the imperial doctors were opposed to Zhixiu entering the city to see Jiaxiang, and he sent someone to investigate and use the means to let Zhixiu enter the city, Jiaxiang also lived up to expectations, and his body improved greatly after Zhixiu's treatment, which was a proud thing of his own, so he remembered it very clearly.
"Which straight show is this straight show?" However, you can't have the kindness of a woman when doing great things, and this person is better to kill.
"It's this person, and the prescription that Zhongshun gave to Nishimaru is also from this person."
Oguri is talking about the lead poisoning of Shizi Jiaxiang, at that time, the female officials of the shogun's back house Da Ori all shaved their eyebrows, powdered faces, and black teeth, and the young samurai also painted powder, not to mention this makeup, but the powder on the face is a big problem, according to later generations, the lead content is too high!
In that year (1843), when Zhixiu saw Shizi Jiaxiang, he found that Jiaxiang's weak body may be lead poisoning in addition to beriberi, which is not that Zhixiu has good medical skills - he is a Mongolian doctor, this is a rumor on the forum of later generations, and it is also very easy to judge.
Neurasthenia is one of the early and more common symptoms of lead poisoning, manifested as dizziness, headache, general weakness, memory loss, sleep disorders, dreaminess, irritability, loss of appetite, and personality changes.
At that time, Zhixiu was stunned, where is he going to get this special medicine for lead poisoning now? So he could only ask Jiaxiang to reduce hand-to-mouth contact, eat less salted fish, pay attention to drinking water, eat more foods with high calcium content, and vaguely proposed to apply less powder and less contact with the female official who smeared powder - he didn't dare to say it because he couldn't say it clearly and offended too many people.
Naoxiu didn't have a better way at the time, but then after his relationship with Oguri was better, he told Oguri about it, and Oguri was anxious when he heard it, this lead poisoning was actually summarized by Fuso and Zhonghua's doctors, but they didn't know the principle, so Oguri found an opportunity to tell Shizi Jiaxiang about it - he was born with a small surname, although he was not liked by others, but Gongfang and Shizi were very close to him.
The people around Jiaxiang told the general Jiaqing about this again, and Jiaqing was angry when he heard it, he had long known that the dead son had nothing to do with what the old man did, and it was definitely not a bad thing to do too much and there would be retribution! He immediately gave an order, I don't care about smearing powder, but whoever dares to smear powder, cook and smear powder, get close to our father and son, will die!
Sure enough, Shizi Jiaxiang not only improved his body but also became much more normal since then, but unfortunately Jiaxiang was 19 years old when Zhixiu saw Jiaxiang, and the poisoning was too deep, so it could only be relieved and not cured.
Because it is inconvenient to publicize this matter, it is too embarrassing to say that his own people poisoned the West Pill like this! Therefore, Gongfang Jiaqing didn't ask Oguri in person, and it wasn't until this time that he knew that it was all the credit of Naoxiu.
General Jiaqing thought about it carefully, it was better for this Naohide to wait and kill again, so he promoted Naohide, but in order to prevent accidents, he asked Naohide to stay in the north and not go back to Edo - this earthquake has come out, and you won't summon a meteorite when you come back! But he sent Oguri to the white lord to ask Naohide, what is going on with this earthquake? Also, do you know any home remedies and strange diseases, and if there is a way to give birth to a son, hand them over to me!
Therefore, at that time, the black ship had just left, and Oguri Tadashun had just returned from inspecting the disaster relief site, but he was directly sent to the white lord - this errand was his own volunteer, but in fact, it was also the intentional arrangement of the public family's celebration.
Oguri also pondered the taste on the boat, this prediction of the earthquake is not a good thing, the demon came, so Naoxiu has to stay in the white master for ten years is his own credit! So after the decree was announced, he looked at Naoxiu with a blank eye, don't lose your temper, don't blame me for this, you still did it yourself.
