Chapter 834: Lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot
The so-called hindsight refers to the guardian of the minor, and the shogun's posterior post is the official position of assisting the shogun when he is a minor, because there is no precedent for his powers and responsibilities to follow, and the shogun's posterior seems to have a high status, but he has no real power, which is also the main reason why the shogunate sent Tokugawa Yoshiki to greet Wang Feng.
By such a person, it seems that the shogunate attaches great importance to it and will not despise the Chinese emperor, but if there is an accident and Tokugawa Yoshiki is killed, it will not be much of a loss to the shogunate, it is nothing more than the death of an elder brother who is not able to beat the eight poles of the current shogun.
In fact, Tokugawa Yoshiki was sent to be cannon fodder, but he was unwilling to be cannon fodder.
He was a genius compared to the frail and incompetent idiot generals of the Tokugawa family, and because the thirteenth shogun had no heirs, he had a great hope of succeeding him, and had the support of his fathers, Tokugawa Saiki, the lord of the Mito domain, Matsudaira Nagakei, and Shimazu Saibin, the lord of the Satsuma domain.
However, the conservative faction in the shogunate was too powerful, and those old diehards, like the powerful ministers in Chinese history, were unwilling to carry out the slightest reform, and they would rather choose a child who was easy to control and not too good health to be a shogun, and it was impossible to nominate the ambitious and adult Tokugawa Yoshiki to the throne, so the twelve-year-old Tokugawa Ieshige became the fourteenth shogun of the shogunate.
It was precisely because of the failure in the battle for the shogun that Shimazu Saibin, who originally supported him, turned against the Mito Tokugawa family and resolutely threw himself into the arms of the shogunate faction, which was equivalent to adding a big enemy to the shogunate.
For this result, Tokugawa Yoshiki was also unwilling, he wanted to get back everything that belonged to him, on the one hand, Wang Feng's visit to Japan may have bad intentions, and on the other hand, if he can get Wang Feng's support. It was also an opportunity to regain the position of general.
The Shogunate faction could rely on foreigners to hold power in Kyoto, so why couldn't he Tokugawa Yoshiki rely on the Chinese? Chinese and foreigners are all foreigners, everyone is just a difference of fifty steps and a hundred steps, not to mention that China has an influence on Japan for more than a thousand years, as long as Wang Feng's intentions are not too excessive, Japan may not be able to serve a big country.
Tokugawa echoed: "The Chinese emperor is right. I'm afraid that the little emperor has been in a hurry for a long time, and since your country is not tired of boats, it is better to rush to Kyoto as soon as possible, and on behalf of the general Zhengyi, I am willing to lead the way for the emperor of China. "It's hard work!" Wang Feng arched his hand.
Ryoma Sakamoto took it and asked tentatively, "Emperor of China, the soldiers you brought can be placed in Osaka first, and they will be warmly entertained by our Japanese people." “
Wang Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, my soldier." Naturally, you want to go to Kyoto with me. ”
The hearts of the Fallen Curtain Sect Qi Zigdon, sure enough, Wang Feng came to Japan with bad intentions, Okubo Ritsu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of China, Kyoto is the capital of my country, is it inappropriate for you to bring so many troops?" "Bold!" Ding Daquan suddenly said angrily: "What is the identity of Your Majesty, can you afford to go on a business trip?" What is your identity that you dare to question Your Majesty?
Li Hongzhang also snorted coldly: "The following is guilty." It is a great disrespect, and this official represents the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. Make solemn representations to the Emperor of your country. “
Ryoma Sakamoto said angrily without showing weakness: "This has nothing to do with identity, no matter in the history of any country, there has never been a precedent for the monarch of any country to go to the capital of another country with 10,000 troops, isn't the Chinese emperor afraid of causing unnecessary criticism?" I think it's time to be shy away, of course. It makes perfect sense for you to take a few hundred people to Kyoto and take care of your daily life. “
Wang Feng said lightly: "I am doing right, standing upright, I am here for the long-term peace of Japan, I am afraid that people will gossip?" Mr. Pauling told me just now. Some people in Japan don't welcome me, what's the inside story? Mr. Sakamoto, can you tell me who exactly is not welcoming me? “
Bao Ling almost scolded his mother, he did say something similar, but when it came out of Wang Feng's mouth, the meaning changed completely, as if he Bao Ling was deliberately provoking, clearly helping Japan, but actually being a spy for China.
Sure enough, Okubo Ritsu and the other Fallen Curtain factions looked at Bao Ling with a hint of strangeness in their eyes.
Ding Daquan secretly said yes, and said: "We in China have dealt with Mr. Baoling for many years, and we can be regarded as old friends, since Mr. Baoling said that some people do not welcome His Majesty's visit, then with his rigor, it is impossible to talk nonsense, so in order to prevent accidents and bring sudden changes to the relations between China and Japan, it is necessary for His Majesty to go to Kyoto with 10,000 followers. “
Bao Ling really didn't expect that his casual words would be taken out by the Chinese side to make a big fuss, and he was not a person inside and out, and his face was blue and white for a while.
Such an opponent is really terrifying, and when it comes to negotiating with such a person, you can't be ambiguous at all.
Sakamoto Ryoma and the others were extremely ugly, if Wang Feng only took a few hundred people to Kyoto, they were confident that they could still control the situation, but with 10,000 elite soldiers, it was very different, they could basically walk sideways in Kyoto, if they heard any clues, then their own people would have no power to fight back.
And Bao Ling's words gave the Chinese side an excuse, but this excuse is still so legitimate, and now even they are beginning to have some doubts about whether Bao Ling, the old fox, can be relied on.
Several people were anxious in their hearts, and quickly made eye contact, at this time, Tokugawa Qingxi said seriously: "There is an old Chinese saying, called "There are no three hundred taels of silver here, and now some people deliberately prevent the Chinese emperor from going to Kyoto with enough guards, could it be that he really has bad intentions?" ”
This is getting darker and darker, Tokugawa Qingxi buckled a big hat on his head, if he insisted, wouldn't he become one of those people who didn't welcome Wang Feng, and even had bad intentions?
The Fallen Curtain faction was angry and helpless, and some of them with violent temperaments couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife.
Wang Feng waved his hand as if he was nothing: "I believe that most of the Japanese people still welcome me, and we can't deny all the Japanese people because of a handful of ill-intentioned people, Mr. Tokugawa, thank you for your outspokenness, you have led the way, and I also trouble you to introduce me to the customs and customs of Japan on the way." “
"It's an honor!" Tokugawa Yoshiki bowed deeply.
The whole army is leaving! Ding Daquan shouted.
The Chinese army moved slowly, mixed with baggage and artillery, and the anti-curtain faction saw it in their eyes and was anxious, but they could not stop it.
Burbulon said with a hint of worry: "The Chinese emperor is prepared, I'm afraid something will happen." “
Killing Xiaoming's father and son, although the foreigner was not the mastermind and did not participate, he knew it, how could Wang Feng not worry about bringing troops to come at this juncture?
They are not afraid of Japan's chaos, what they are afraid of is that Japan will fall under China's control, and China will be the dominant family in the Western Pacific from now on.
"Hey~~" Mai Lian also sighed: "Now we can only take one step at a time, let's go." ”
A few people nodded, turned over and followed. (To be continued.) )
