Since there were also outsiders such as guides and sailors on the Naoxiu boat, in order to avoid suspicion, the two boats going north were far apart.

The bow of the United States John is a sail steam hybrid ship, now the two-stage, three-stage expansion marine steam engine has not yet appeared, at this time the efficiency of the steam engine is extremely poor, ocean voyage can not burn coal at all, so it is still based on sail power.

Neither the bow John nor the navigator were familiar with the hydrology of the waters north of Fuso, so Naohide had already asked Torajiro to carry the information and mix rice boats in Nagasaki privately, and with a relatively accurate map, offshore navigation was a piece of cake for ocean-going vessels.

Compared with the rice boat, the navigation of the clipper ship is more difficult. Most of the original sailors stayed in Nagasaki, and although Naohide and others had undergone simple training, they often neglected one or the other, and at this time, the wind and waves in the Whale Sea were not small, and after a lot of hardship, they finally arrived in Matsumae on the 28th of Nagatsuki.

The head of the Fukuyama Matsumae family, Chongguang, was shocked when he received the report.

At this time, many idlers gather at the wharf - winter is approaching, and the samurai and merchants scattered all over Ezo return to Matsumae for the winter, which is the busiest time for Matsumae. When I heard that the shogunate's Nanban ships had entered the port, everyone came out to see the excitement.

The taste of the long-distance boat ride was quite sour, and Naohide didn't slow down until the Fukuyama Pavilion dinner, so he had to stiffen up and deal with Matsumae's house.

Because only Naohide is the flag in the group, and the rest are all retainers of the Hori family, and the identity is not enough, so only a few people attended the dinner, the head of the Matsumae family is the main one, accompanied by the two family elders, Naohide is a guest, Katsugoro and Hayato sit behind Naohide, responsible for watching how Naohide eats.

In the afternoon, the Matsumae family and others looked at the documents given by the shogunate, but they didn't see the flowers, and they are still very aggrieved - what we need is a subsidy such as hand money, not for you to send an uncle. Although there have been a lot of Nanban ships in Ezo recently, they have all come to hunt whales, and although the warships of the Lusians have come to rob them several times, they are all remote places, and the ones who have suffered are merchants.

Did the head of the family boast too much about the situation when he went to the Hajj to explain last year, and then went too far?

"The palace is working the boat, and it should have been recuperated as soon as possible, but when it comes to major matters, please be tolerant." The two elders of the Matsumae family are all members of the Matsumae family, and they are afraid that the head of the family will have no room for maneuver if he rashly speaks, so he took the initiative to find out with Naohide what the acting official of the white lord meant.

The shogunate's official letter to the Matsumae family was "slightly righteous", chatting a few lines, and asking the Matsumae family to cooperate with Naohide's dedication to the white lord, but the Matsumae family took all the words apart and didn't understand what they were going to do.

In fact, Naoxiu didn't understand it - the Kanding Institute sent him away hastily like a plague god, and many joints were still pointed out by Mr. Tan'an.

The so-called city government is not easy to talk to people, and resolutely does not let others catch the little tail.

Nao-su hummed and responded, saying some nonsense like "please please", and didn't talk about the actual content after going around for a long time.

"I don't know what I think of the three chapters of the Ezo trading system?" Matsuzen Takahiro was only twenty-two years old, and as the new Wanshi daimyo and the co-head of Ezo, he was a little impatient and asked directly.

"Naoxiu strictly abides by the imperial law and does not dare to violate it slightly." The three chapters of the Ezo trading system were an agreement between the shogunate and the Matsumae family, and without clear instructions, Naohide did not dare to cross it as a acting official.

The two old housekeepers had the upper hand as soon as they made a move, so hurry up

Take advantage of the fire to rob and complain to Naohide, how the local barbarians are savage, how the Lucia thieves are rude, and the Fukuyama Castle is being built, etc., the implication is that there is no money and no one, so as not to make Naohide open his mouth.

In order to maintain the independence of the White Lord's acting office, Naohide really has no intention of looting, but the North Ezo land is very desolate, and it is indeed inseparable from the Matsumae family.

On the banquet, Naoxiu and the two elders made a verbal covenant in three chapters:

1. If the white lord needs support, the Matsumae family spends manpower and material resources, and Naohide needs to jointly report to the shogunate with the Matsumae family - this is the Matsumae family is afraid that the Naohide lion will take advantage of the Matsumae family if he opens his mouth.

Second, the two sides of the major event announced to each other - this is a small report to prevent Naohide from hitting the Matsumae family behind his back, but it is the duty of the white lord to report the local situation, and the Matsumae family can't interfere, so a tacit understanding is reached in this name, at least the Matsumae family knows what Naohide reports can prepare in advance.

3. If the foreign enemy invades, the two sides will join forces to the outside world - this is the Matsumae family is afraid that Naohide will die, and then the shogunate will investigate it under the pretext of the reason. There is this article, at least there is a saying at that time, "It's not that the Matsumae family doesn't take care of Naohide, it's really in the form."

However, the two sides were at loggerheads over the scope and content of the jurisdiction of the White Lord's Acting Office, which was originally intentional by the shogunate, and it was impossible for Naohide to make it clear.

In the end, Naohide took a step back.

Originally, according to the three chapters of the Ezo trading system, the Matsumae family monopolized the trade benefits of the Ezo land and the northern Ezo land. However, the Matsumae family is different from other daimyo families, other daimyo are "possessed" territories, and the Matsumae family is "zhengo" here, which literally seems to be no different, but in fact, the shogunate has never recognized the Matsumae family as the hereditary lord of Ezo and Northern Ezo, and only let the Matsumae family take care of it.

Therefore, although the shogunate did not ask the Matsumae family to hand over their belongings, the Matsumae family offered a large number of gifts every time they visited the Hajj to give an account - after all, the place in charge was not the territory of the Matsumae family, and although the Ezo land was a wild place, the Matsumae family always had a meaning.

During the cultural period, the shogunate and the Lucia people fought each other, and the shogunate once designated the West Ezo land as the imperial domain of the shogunate at the cost of the territory of the 9,000-stone Ryokawa in Date County, Mutsu Province. Later, the two sides negotiated peace, and after the shogunate withdrew its troops, the West Ezo land was handed over to Matsuzen Matsumae to "town protection".

To be honest, Naohide didn't understand the shogunate's intention of setting up the White Lord's Acting Office. He estimated that he was throwing stones to ask for directions, if the White Lord Acting Official was able to manage well, the power would definitely expand, Ezo was hard to say, but North Ezo would definitely not be able to run.

Therefore, Naoxiu can't be pushed verbally. But after all, this matter is a bit of a loss, and the White Lord Acting Officer was set up, and the shogunate did not compensate the Matsumae family according to the old practice - it is estimated that it is not easy to give, and it is too much, and the shogunate now has no energy and money to manage the Ezo land and the northern Ezo land; But if you give less, if you expand in the future, it seems that the shogunate has ill intentions, and if you have nothing to do, you will be worried about the interests of the Matsumae family, so fortunately you don't give it at all, and the gourd official judges the gourd case, which is rare and confused.

Naohide couldn't tell the truth to the Matsumae family, but he had no chips in his hand, no curse to read, and then vaguely told the Matsumae family that the white lord was the first to be established, and he temporarily focused on the white lord area. As for the merchants of the Northland, it is also a good intention to give money, and the implication is that the merchants have their own means to transport the former family of Jin Song and the deputy official of the white lord, and who can collect it.

Chapter 3 of the Ezo trading system stipulates that the Matsumae family is responsible for managing the trade between Fuso and the locals

It is said that the trade of the Fuso people is managed by the Matsumae family, such as the Fuso merchants fishing in the northern Ezo land, which is not within the regulations at all. It stands to reason that this matter is managed by the local lord, and the Matsumae family used to be the dominant family here, so there was no problem at all. But after being inserted into the White Lord's Office, this matter is difficult to do, you said that someone is fishing near the White Lord, and they don't trade with the local natives, and the Matsumae family is not good at interfering in this, so they can only watch the money collected by the White Lord's Mission.

"I wish the palace a smooth sailing", Matsumae Chongguang looked at Naoxiu with a smile, he thought that Naoxiu was a chess piece, and it was useless to compete with Naoxiu, anyway, if the white lord acting official office was the one who came to Matsumae, let alone pioneering, it would be impossible to get the barbarian riot one day, and it would be possible for the white lord acting official to be served by someone up and down.

From the toss of the palace in front of him, the toss is enough, and the big guy in Edo knows that there are many poor mountains and evil seas in this place, and there will be no toss in the future.

According to the tradition of Fusang, things should have been tried several times, and their subordinates talked to each other about a rough idea, and then the big guy appeared to make a decision, but Naohide stated before the banquet that "the curtain is in the body, and you need to go to work immediately after the official document is delivered", so everyone at the banquet should hurry up and talk about it, otherwise Naohide will really run away, and this matter will be sandwiched.

The next day, Naohide loaded a lot of firewood into the boat with the cooperation of Matsumae's family, causing everyone in Matsumae to laugh. They are not laughing at firewood, it is almost winter, and in the ghost place of the white lord, people are frozen to death when they make a fire for heating, and it is the right thing to load firewood. But if you really prepare seriously, you won't come to Ezo at this time, what are you going to do in the summer?

When the news spread, the Matsumae clan despised it, thinking that the samurai masters of the shogunate wanted to make a play, and if they didn't make this palace, they would be unlucky, and someone in the shogunate hated him for not dying, so they tossed him so much.

As for the merchants who stayed here, although they were not optimistic about Naohide, they wrote letters one after another, preparing to tell their respective heads and rulers about the shogunate's involvement in the North Ezo land, "The sky in the North Land is going to change, so it is better to be careful."

The survey office gave Zhixiu a thousand taels of development funds, but in fact, this amount of money seems to be enough: if Zhixiu is to lead people to mix in Baizhu for five years, and there is nothing to bully and bully local natives and foreign businessmen, then this money may be barely rich; If Naohide wants to show his strength after standing in Shiraishi, then he must continue to cry poverty with Edo, and Naohide will not be able to bow his head when the time comes.

The next day, Naohide took the money to buy firewood and some supplies, because it was for cash to loose, and the front family did not make it difficult, but the conditions at this time were too poor, and it was difficult to buy a ship with good goods, and it was tossed very late to complete, so Naohide had to delay until the next day to go to sea.

The Matsumae family did a lot of gas on the surface, and sent a guide boat to Naohide, but this time the original bow and sailor didn't leave, and they had to die in Matsumae, at least they could send the ashes back to Edo, and no one would try to deceive us. Zhixiu couldn't do anything about this, so he left them to take people out to sea after making a sum of money. At that time, the scene was very bleak, and the onlookers gave sympathetic looks, "Look at these young Edo samurai, in their prime, and just go."

On the first day of the first month of the third year of Kaei, Naohide rushed to the white lord in a month and a few days, not counting the stay time in various places, and rushed to the white lord from Edo via Nankai Road, Saikai Road, and Hokkai Road in only half a month, and inadvertently created a new sailing record for Fuso, but no one noticed the significance of this record at that time.
