Volume 1 The First Cry Chapter 7 The "Victorious" Torii Yaozo
There is a strait that exists between Sakhalin Island and the East Asian mainland, and Mamiya Rinzo recorded this strait in the "Eastern Tartar Chronicles" to give a map, and later Siebold called it "Manomiya Strait" in his magnum opus "Fuso", from which Mamiya Rinzo became famous in the world and Fuso.
(In fact, not only the local aborigines have known for a long time, but many people knew it at that time, for example, in the "Imperial Panorama Map" compiled by Emperor Kangxi, Huatai was clearly marked as an island.) Copyright awareness is really important. )
Imamiya Rinzo, Ino Tadashi, Murakami Shima no Yoshi, and Matsuda Denjuro were all surveyors of the shogunate, and Ino Tadashi completed the first national map of Fuso, the Complete Map of the Great Fuso Coastal Lands (including Ezo (Hokkaido)); Murakami Shima Noyoshi was the boss and teacher of Mamiya Rinzo, who surveyed and developed the Fuso area and Ezo (Hokkaido), and was a "pioneer in the development of Hokkaido", with both the roles of developer and surveyor. And Matsuda Denjuro was a partner in the Manomiya Hayashizo Survey of Kata (Sakhalin); After the first survey of Kata (Sakhalin) (accompanied by Denjuro Matsuda), Mamiya Hayashizo conducted the second complete survey on his own, and through his dictation, Murakami Sadadake (son of Murakami no Yoshi) wrote two reports, "The Journey to the Eastern Tartar" and "The Aftermath of the Beiyi Demarcation", which were relatively complete descriptions of the geography, ethnicity, customs, and experiences along the way of Kata (Sakhalin) and the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, so Mamiya Linzo was the main contributor to Fuso's survey of Kata (Sakhalin).
But both then and later, Siebold was much more famous than the palace Hayashizo.
Philipp Franz von Siebold was born in Würzburg, Kingdom of Bavaria, before Germany was unified (the unified German Empire was only established after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870). As a German nobleman, he was hired by the Dutch East India Company to come to Fuso as a surgical military medical major. He had a doctorate in medicine, specialized in surgery, ophthalmology, and obstetrics, and was highly skilled in medicine, and provided free medical care, so he became famous, and in the seventh year of Bunsei (1824), the second year of his visit to Fuso, he was authorized by the shogunate to establish a Naritaki school on the outskirts of Nagasaki (Takashima Akiho said good things in front of the shogunate, "It will help to train Fuso's own good doctors"), and he opened a clinic while teaching students medicine and natural sciences, and his disciples included Shizumi Totsuka, Soken Ishii, Keisaku Ninomiya, Junzo Mima, Nagahide Takano, Mitsuei Koseki, and Genpo Ito. Most of these people became famous doctors and pioneers of natural sciences at that time. Because of Siebald's excellent medical skills and free medical treatment (but after the patient recovered, he gave many gifts, and later Siebold opened a museum in Languo and made a fortune with these gifts), and trained a group of excellent doctors for Fuso, and solved the pain of many samurai and their families, so Nagasaki specially allowed Siebold to go out for medical treatment at any time, and Siebold became the only foreigner in Fuso at that time to have this privilege - theoretically, the Dutch had to stay in "Dejima", the location of the Dutch Merchant House, when there were no official activities.
As a physician, ethnologist and naturalist, Siebold returned to China and published Siebold trilogy masterpieces "Fuso", "Flora of Fuso", and "Zoology of Fuso", and from then on, Europe began to understand Fuso, and he became famous. As a naturalist, many of the flora and fauna unique to Fuso were named after Siebold and are still in use today.
Is Siebold a spy or not? According to later rumors, the employer, the Dutch East India Company, explicitly asked Siebold to carry out the work of "gathering political and military intelligence on Fuso." In addition, judging from the map exchange event, Siebold did not let Takahashi Keiho take a look at "World Week" for free, but exchanged in kind, considering the military background of Major Siebald's medical officer, the name of the spy is real! Moreover, the diplomatic and military actions of Western countries against Fuso did refer to Siebald's book "Fuso" many times (the U.S. Perry fleet in the Black Ship Incident learned a lot of important information about Fuso through Siebald's "Fuso" before it went to Fuso).
Once again, one sighs at Takahashi's naivety, because if Takahashi had given a fake map at that time, Siebold would not have been able to tell it; Although Siebold gave a genuine map, the World Weekly Chronicle is an international public source, and it cannot be compared with the map of northern Fuso at that time in terms of confidentiality.
Takahashi Keiho's "Romance of the English People" in the "Siebold Incident" had a great impact on the shogunate, and from then on, the shogunate's censorship of foreign books, especially political books, began to become more strict, and it began to be suspicious and wary of the ideas of Lan scholars.
Eleven years later, in 1839, the "Prison of the Barbarian Society" occurred, which was the first official suppression of Ranshi scholars by the shogunate, and dealt an even greater blow to the development of Fuso Orchidology.
In December of the 9th year of Tenpo (1838), in order to prevent foreign ships from invading the coast of Fuso, the shogunate ordered the Edo Minami Town, two people, Yoshizo Torii and Taro Saemon, the acting official of Izu Nirayama, to measure and strengthen the coastal guard around Edo, in order to prevent foreign ships from invading the coast of Fuso.
Yoshizo Torii, the director of Edo Minami Town, was the right-hand man of the chief old man at the time, Nakano Tadakuni, who was conservative in his views and had a poor official reputation and ethics.
Egawa Taro Saemon is Naohide's iron cannon and Otsuro teacher Egawa Hideryu, and Izu Nirayama, who just succeeded his father in the ninth year of Tenpo, has not straightened out the political relations at the top, and his ability has not been recognized by the senior samurai of the shogunate.
Torii Yaozo and Egawa Hideryu have different temperaments, and there are more other contradictions.
Jiang Chuan has a "good personality and straightforward conversation", the same as Naohide's big body flag Moto Oguri Tadashun, to put it bluntly, he has a serious personality, low emotional intelligence, and can't speak. Oguri was excluded as the heir to the big body banner, and was nicknamed "Tengu" - the nickname does not mean that Oguri is ugly or powerful. Because of the folklore at the time, "A mountain monk who has not yet practiced and has an arrogant attitude will become a tengu after death", so this nickname is a satire on Oguri's rude and arrogant.
Torii Yaozai is a qualified bureaucrat with a knife in his smile, and at this time Egawa's political wisdom is not yet mature, asking for more instructions, reporting diligently, and the credit is his boss's mistake is his own, these are not skilled, Egawa is more talented than Toi, and Torii's face is not known how much has been swept away when working together.
In addition, Torii Yoyozo was one of the three major shogunate commissions (Tera Shrine, Edocho, and Kanjo), and was qualified to work in Edo Castle.
In particular, Torii is an old-fashioned samurai.,I'm very dissatisfied with Egawa, who likes Ranxue.,How do you look at it, how do you feel frivolous and excessive.。
Torii Yosazo was a qualified bureaucrat who hid a knife in his smile, and at this time Egawa's political wisdom was not yet mature, so Torii immediately taught Egawa how to behave.
Egawa Hideryū invited Watanabe Kazan and other orchid scholars to help him in his work, and Torii reported to the shogunate that Watanabe Kazan and others had "slandered the shogunate and plotted against it", thus setting off the "Barbarian Society's Prison" (or "Western-style Party Rebellion").
The so-called "Barbarian Society" refers to the "Shogakai" of the Orchid Research Society founded by Watanabe Kazan and others, because at that time Westerners were called Southern Barbarians, so it was also called "Barbarian Society". At that time, the content of orchidology had expanded from Dutch books to all European books, so orchidology gradually became known as "foreign studies".
It's hard to say how Torii does things, but being an official is definitely first-class, and the timing is accurate, and the target is also more accurate.
In July of the 8th year of Tenpo (1837), the American merchant ship Morrison came to Fuso and sailed into Uraga to ask for trade under the pretext of returning the Fuso drifters.
The cultural atmosphere of East Asia created a strong sense of political responsibility among scholars, and scholars led by Watanabe Kazan and Takano Nagahide wrote to the shogunate, believing that the move was too outrageous and would be condemned by countries around the world, and hoped to revoke the "Foreign Ship Blowing Order".
At this time, the "Tenpo Murder" (1833-1839), one of the four major crimes of the Edo period (the Great Agricultural Famine), was still going on, and the "Ichiku" (riots and uprisings) occurred one after another, and lower-ranking officials and scholars in various places wrote letters demanding that the shogunate "reform the administration of officials, punish profiteers, and open warehouses to release grain". Moreover, the shogunate was already very wary of influential scholars at this time because of the "Great Shio Heihachiro Rebellion".
The "Great Shio Heihachiro Rebellion" occurred in February of the 8th year of Tenpo (1837), with the participation of lower-class samurai, peasants, townspeople, Shita, and non-people, and the inscription "The four seas are poor, Tianlu will end, the villain will rule the country, and disasters will come", "For the sake of the world, my generation is willing to risk the disaster of extermination, gather the will, punish the officials of the people, kill the arrogant and extravagant rich merchants, distribute the gold, silver, grain and rice they harbor, and scatter the people who have no land and few fields", and burned down more than 3,000 houses, accounting for one-fifth of the area of Osaka City. Although it was suppressed on the same day, the impact was very far-reaching.
After the riot, "Ichiku" in the name of Daishio Heihachiro swarmed in various places, and in April of the same year. An uprising broke out in Mihara Prefecture in Bigo Province (Hiroshima Prefecture), and the rebels fought fiercely against the Hiroshima clan under the banner of Daishio's disciples. In June of the same year, Kashiwazaki in Echigo Province (Niigata Prefecture) had another kokukushu Ikuta Man, who claimed to be a disciple of Oshio, and distributed a text to riot and attack the residence of the shogunate. The rest of the small "one-handed" are too numerous to list.
Because Heihachiro Oshio was a famous scholar, the shogunate was very uneasy about influential scholars.
This was the tenth year of Tenpo (1839), and two years had passed since the Heihachiro Incident. When the shogunate elder Nakano Tadakuni received a report from Torii Yoozou, he immediately sent someone to raid the "Shogakai", and sure enough, he found many dissatisfied words against the shogunate from Watanabe Kazan's private notes, so he was imprisoned. As a result, more than 20 people, including Watanabe Huashan and Takano Nagahide, were arrested, and Koseki Sanying committed suicide "in fear of crime".
After the "Prison of the Barbarian Society (Westernist Party)", Lan scholars were dealt a major blow.
After that, Torii Yoozo attacked foreign scholars again. In the 13th year of Tenpo (1842), Yoshizo Torii and others reported Takashima Akiho, who had been summoned by the shogunate to Edo to "manufacture guns, reform the military system, and teach Western artillery skills", on charges of "plotting against private soldiers and plotting against him". On October 2, Takashima was arrested by Yozo Torii. This is also mixed with a little personal grudge between Torii Yaozang and Egawa Hideryu, Takashima was recommended by Egawa, and Torii Yaozang had a bad relationship with Egawa in the "Barbarian Society's Prison" incident before.
