Having received a message from Oda Nobuharu, Tokugawa Tsunade weighed it and repeatedly felt that it was acceptable, and perhaps in his opinion that the realization of a "combination of public and military forces" was the best way out for the shogunate at present -- to preserve the position of the shogun's family and to appease the powerful relatives -- but his approval alone was afraid that he would not be able to persuade the entire shogunate to accept the Kaxia ultimatum, so he tried to win over his comrades.
The first person Tokugawa Tsunajo persuaded was Tokugawa Yoshitsu. Speaking of which, Yoshitsu had previously shown a posture that was incompatible with Huaxia and commanded the shogunate's sub-western expedition, which should not be a very good object of persuasion. However, Yoshitsu was intimidated by the strength of the Xia army at the Battle of Fushimi, and after fleeing back to Edo from Mino, he repeatedly demanded that the shogunate immediately negotiate peace with Katsu. In such a situation, it is natural for the program to pull it as an ally.
As expected, Yoshitsumi was moved to hear that he could preserve his territory in the Owari (Nagoya) domain and serve as the governor of Tokaido. So the two feudal clans almost hit it off, agreed to work together, and went behind the shogun's back to persuade or simply suppress the dissenting opinions of the imperial family.
Perhaps because he felt that the strength of the Owari and Mito families alone was not enough to fight against the shogun, Tsunade sought out Tokugawa Yoshimune again.
Tokugawa Yoshimune was not as good at talking as Yoshitsu, after all, his territory Kishu had fallen into the hands of the imperial court, and even if the two sides negotiated peace, he would not be able to take it back. In response, Tsunade promised compensation from the shogunate's direct position in Koshu, and offered to offer Yoshimune the temptation to win the position of governor of Nakasendo.
"The leader of the Nakasendo Trail? Mito-sama isn't joking. Yoshimune looked at Tokugawa Tsunajo coldly. As a steward, it seems that his status is above that of the princes of the various feudal clans of the province, but it is nothing more than being able to rank a little ahead of the court meeting, so he will sell the shogunate and let the family business since the god monarch come to naught, is this price too high? ”
"Kishu-sama, you can't say that." Tsunade is also the identity of the deputy general of the world, why did he betray the shogunate, it is really because the shogunate has reached a point where it may overturn at any time" After all, the current shape is not good for the shogunate, once the Xia army advances eastward, the shogunate may not even have a chance to turn over, let alone retain such generous conditions. ”
"Mito-sama, are you so sure that the shogunate can't defeat Xia Ko?" Yoshimune looked young and vigorous and refused to admit defeat. "I don't think so, otherwise why would Xia Kou still propose the construction of the division of the east and the west? It can be seen that Xia Kou did not have the confidence to win, let alone completely end the power of the shogunate in a single battle. ”
"Lord Kishu is right, Xia Kou does not have the confidence to win and does not have the strength to end the shogunate in World War I, but the Xia people do not have the confidence and strength, but the guys in the western country have." Tsunade sighed. "Don't say that the imperial court still has a righteous reputation, let's just say that when the god monarch founded the shogunate, I am afraid that he did not completely grasp the strength of Japan, but how could the shogunate stand for a hundred years? It's nothing more than those wall-to-wall grass and wise people who protect themselves. ”
Yoshimune frowned: "Mito-sama is saying that once the shogunate is defeated again, those appearances will turn their faces?" ”
"The strong man attached to the Japanese has always been the instinct of survival in Japan." Tsunade's words are not exaggerated, so they can impress Yoshimune even more. "When the time comes, the shogunate's rivers and mountains will melt as quickly as spring snow." It seems that the current Ji Zong has moved, and the Compendium further added. "In fact, not to mention the western country, there are too many people in the eastern country who have malicious intentions towards the shogunate."
"This is not bad, the shogunate used to be too strong, and it did make the feudal lords quite dissatisfied." Yoshizong nodded and shook his head. "So, the shogunate has completely failed to turn around?"
"There is a proverb in the Xia Kingdom that says, the so-called illness comes like a mountain and goes like a thread, Japan is already terminally ill, it should have been prepared with warm fire, but the general gave a fierce medicine, so the shogunate was completely hopeless." This is how the program explains its choice. "At this time, we can only choose to protect ourselves first, as long as we keep the three families and keep the royal family, even if the general goes to Kyoto, he may not be a puppet."
Ji Zong pondered for a moment: "This is probably also the calculation of the Xia people, let us fight viciously in the circle they drawn." ”
"That's right, China needs the Japanese market, and it needs Japan's gold, silver, and raw copper, so they want Japan to be broken and not messy, so that they can completely fiddle with Japan." Gang Tiao said with some interest, and then cheered up. "This gave the Tokugawa family a chance to be reborn."
"Jedi Reborn?" Yoshizong sneered. "I'm afraid that when the time comes, those genealogy names will be separated from morality."
Tsunade was stunned, this was something he didn't expect. Indeed, the reason why the daimyo were loyal to the shogunate was not only that they were descendants of the original retainers of the Tokugawa family, but also that they were able to hold some of the supreme power within the shogunate in this important capacity, giving them a sense of participation and identification with the shogunate. However, once the "combination of public and military forces" is realized, and the government falls into the hands of the ministers and the samurai senators, the status of the daimyo will plummet, and will they still support the shogun at that time?
"That's a problem." Tsunade thought about it. "Perhaps we can fight with the Xia people for the right to manage the princes of this Dao."
"The Xia people may agree, but the imperial court will not allow the leader to become a junior general." Yoshimune mercilessly punctured Tsunade's illusions. "Even if a strong feudal clan is in charge, it will be checked and balanced by the surrounding small domains."
"What then?" Tsunade said helplessly. "Isn't that a dead end?"
Ji Zong took the folding fan in his hand and shook it: "First, we must ensure that all feudal domains are rearmed, as long as the management leader has force in his hands, the imperial court will not dare to instigate the small feudal clan to make it difficult for the feudal lord, and Huaxia will not be willing to see Japan resume civil war; Second, it is necessary to strengthen the strength of the pro-domain, and instead of handing over the Heavenly Territory to the imperial court, it is better to give more to the pro-domain, so as to ensure that the strength of the pro-feudal domain has a certain advantage over the surrounding genealogy daimyo and foreign daimyos. ”
"In what name? It is no secret that the Shogunate's Heavenly Territory is a matter of size, and the Imperial Court will definitely accept it according to the map. ”
"Isn't it hard to find a name?" Yoshimune pointed to himself. "It's better to use the name of compensating for the loss of the domain of the daimyo of the pro-domain, so that it is reasonable to the outside world and not too abrupt."
"Makes sense." Tsunade smashed it for a while and praised it. "Now the negotiation with the Xia people is still just a secret, it really shouldn't be all over the city, the world knows, in the name of compensating the relatives, it is indeed reasonable both internally and externally. However, "the program hesitated. "What about those genealogy daimyo who have also lost their territory? Do you want to compensate for the same? ”
"Let's compensate one-tenth of the original income first, maybe they will be the biggest help to the shogunate in the future." Yoshijong seemed to be talking about cats and dogs, commenting on those who were also unlucky. "The shogunate should immediately arrange for the expansion of the number of pro-feudal clans, whether it is those who are the illegitimate sons of the shogun, or the guys who are concubines, hurry up and pass them over to those who are still a little loyal to the genealogy and appearance, and once they succeed the feudal lords, they will recognize their status as the imperial family."
"That's a way to do it." When Tsunade said this, something suddenly came to mind. "So the Kishu Hall agreed to the Xia people's conditions?"
"What if you don't agree? You don't have to wait for the complete defeat of the shogunate to become a homeless ronin. ”
Ji Zong's sluggishness of the program is a little difficult to understand, and he has said so much, hasn't he already made his attitude clear? Do you still want to say unmistakably that you want to betray the general? However, Jizong will not show any dissatisfaction with the program because of this, you know, Jizong still has a place to ask for the program.
"Then again, even if we reach an agreement in private, if we want to implement this qiē with the Xia people and the imperial court, we can't bypass the general." The meaning of Ji Zong's words is very vague. "It's just that the matter was provoked by the general, so I don't know if the general can endure the humiliation and self-inflicted failure?"
Tsunade obviously understood the subtext of Ji Zong, and immediately showed a clear smile: "I think the matter has come to this point, the general should accept it, but I'm worried that those old middle school people will not be able to accept it." ”
"Then arrange for the old middle school to lead the troops to fight against the Xia people." Ji Zong didn't ask why the general Jiaxuan would definitely agree, this kind of thing was tacitly understood by everyone. "If they want to lose the battle, even if they want to oppose it, they will have no strength."
"Then do it," Tsunade decided. "I also ask Kishuden to advocate sending troops in tomorrow's assessment??????"
Yoshimune was gone, and Tsunade was doing it in the dark, his whole face shrouded in darkness, and no one could detect his expression.
I don't know how long it took, the door was opened, and Tokugawa Yoshitsu walked in: "Mito-sama, over there in Aizuden, I've been convinced, and the Iyo Matsuyama family also clearly supports our opinion, Mito-sama, what's wrong?" Just had a talk with Kishu collapsed? ”
Tsunade then slowly spoke: "On the contrary, Kishuden is also willing to stand on our side. ”
"That's what you just looked like." Ji Tong said with some fear. "It really scared me, if I let the general know in advance, even if we are close to the vassal, I'm afraid we won't have good fruit to eat."
"Worries Owari-sama." Tsunade straightened up, and then sighed again. "I didn't expect that Lord Jizong would have such ambitions, and we all underestimated him."
"Ambition?" Ji Tong asked puzzled. "What ambition? I don't think I want to be a general. As he spoke, Jitong suddenly shook. What the! The Kishu kid actually wants to be a general, what about that Xuan-sama! ”
"What's the big deal if you want to be a general, they are all the descendants of the gods, why can you be the master of the family, but not the Jishu Palace?" Tsunade shook his head. "But I think this kid still has some ability, this general will not be good in the future, maybe he needs a brave person like him to come out and take on this important task."
Yoshitsu was stunned, and it took a long time before asking, "What did Kishu say to Mito-sama??????
