"This official didn't expect the shogunate's connections to be so hidden, and they all announced the implementation of the royal government, and there were still people among the ministers who connected to the shogunate." Looking at Oda Nobuharu in front of him, who was dressed as a Gao family, Ge Weining, who was the messenger in Japan at the time, couldn't help but sneer. "Well, since it was recommended by the Secretary of War, it would be better to listen to Your Excellency's intentions."
"Lord Akikan," Oda Nobuharu said, bowing slightly, straightening up. "The shogunate has ruled Japan for more than 100 years, and the pattern of the feudal shogunate has been stabilized, and at this time, the kingdom wants to change the world in Japan, and I am afraid that it will have a great impact on Japan." Oda Nobuharu knew that he couldn't convince the other party with his words, so he quickly came up with dry goods. "My family thinks that what the country wants is a stable Japan, a Japan that can digest the products produced by the country, not a Japan that is full of wars and even has to buy weapons on credit."
Ge Weining praised: "It seems that the shogunate still has people who understand, please continue." ”
"I heard that Shangguo is concentrating on expelling the Manchus from the north, and it is impossible for Shangguo to keep tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Japan all the time." Oda Nobuharu saw that Ge Weining echoed his views, and suddenly had greater confidence. "Of course, maybe these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are dispensable for the kingdom, but it is better to concentrate forces than to disperse forces, and the so-called more victories and fewer defeats are also the truth."
Ge Weining nodded and said: "But this is the case, once the main force of the shogunate is eliminated, the rest of the battle will still have to be solved by domestic preparations in Japan." ”
Oda Nobuharu immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Lord Shangguo, I don't know how the army of Shangguo can destroy the main force of the shogunate if the shogunate guards the Kanto region and sits back and watches the changes in the western country?" If only the imperial court organized an army to conquer the shogunate, how long would the war in Japan last? If the war drags on, is it really in the interest of the Emperor that he will not be able to collect reparations and sell goods from Japan, but will also increase support for the Emperor's side? ”
Ge Weining laughed and said, "What a sharp mouth, but did Your Excellency miss a little?" ”
As a good lobbyist, Oda Nobuharu obviously had predicted Ge Weining's reaction, so he responded tepidly: "I know that the army of the country can be directed at Edo, but first, the shogunate has a lot of operations in Edo, and even if the army can conquer Edo, it must have to pay more or even ten times the price than the previous time. Doesn't this make all the thoughts of the kingdom come to naught? ”
Oda Nobuharu's words obviously have several meanings in them.
First, he confirmed that Edo could not stop the attack of the Xia army, but the Tokugawa family was finished, and there was a large group of people who would be unlucky, and in the case of the same hatred and hatred, these people would definitely fight hard, and once they were desperate, there would be heavy casualties on the Xia army's side; Second, Oda Nobuharu emphasized that the Japanese tradition was that the samurai ruled the world, and therefore believed that the revival of the imperial court would not last long, and that Japan would sooner or later fall into civil strife, and that it was better to let the Tokugawa shogunate continue to maintain it than to wait for a new shogunate to be achieved by force; In the end, Oda also asked Ge Weining, if he must insist that the imperial court replace the shogunate, and if the political situation in Japan will be repeated in the future, and Huaxia will try his best but fail, who will be responsible?
Ge Weining responded seemingly stubbornly: "Oda-sama, it is impossible to go back to the past. ”
It is also true that the Kansai region has undergone earth-shaking changes, and if nothing else, how can it be honestly returned to its owners if the territory taken from the feudal lords and daimyo who were loyal to the shogunate have already been allocated? Besides, the anti-shogun forces are already standing in the foreground, is it possible that they are still waiting for the shogunate to slow down and clean them up one by one?
Therefore, Ge Weining, on behalf of the Chinese court, proposed two proposals to the shogunate: "First, to realize the combination of public and military forces. ”
There were several elements of the combination of public and military forces advocated by Huaxia: first, the shogun's garrison was moved from Edo back to Heianjing; Second, the general handled state affairs with Guan Bai and the left ministers in the capacity of the right minister; Third, the general's heavenly domain was directly managed by the imperial court, and the general retained a quarter of it as a territory; Fourth, the right to confer official positions below the left and right ministers, the Grand Shogun of Seiyi, and Sekihaku shall be withdrawn from the Imperial Court, but the Shogun and Sekihaku shall have the right to nominate candidates for election and also have the right to veto the nomination of the other party; Fifth, the management of monks and temples, priests and shrines was also transferred to the Emperor's court. Sixth, to ensure the status quo of each domain, the shogunate genealogy and the relatives of the clan who suffered losses can be compensated by the Heavenly Domain; Seventh, the establishment of local governors to install powerful daimyos, and the establishment of senators in the center to invite local princes to discuss politics together.
In addition to the combination of public and military, Huaxia also has a second Jianyì: "East and West Division." ”
The so-called east-west division is bounded by the actual control line between the two sides, and the eastern part still has the shogunate control zhì and implements the feudal shogunate system, while the western part is managed by the emperor's court, and the two-level system of the imperial court and the feudal domain is implemented, so as to complete the so-called royal government retro.
The advantage of the "combination of public and military forces" was that Japan remained unified and continued to implement the dual government, but the power of the shogunate was reduced, the position of the shogun was blurred, and the three laws established in the Tokugawa Ieyasu era against the emperor, the imperial court, the temple, and the samurai were completely abolished; Although the "East-West Division" maintained the authority of the shogunate in eastern Japan, it meant that Japan was divided from then on. Therefore, in a certain sense, Huaxia, in order to maintain Japan's complete market, is actually more inclined to "combine public and military forces," which can not only give an explanation to all parties, but also facilitate the manipulation of Japan's Korean situation in the future to ensure Huaxia's supreme interests in Japan.
However, Oda Nobuharu was frightened by Ge Weining's two Jianyì: "This, isn't this too harsh." ”
"Harsh? Without uprooting the Tokugawa family, this dynasty is already tolerant enough. Ge Weining looked at Oda Nobuharu with a smile. Besides, did Lord Oda really mean to come here to discuss peace on behalf of the shogunate himself? ”
Oda Nobuharu was stunned: "Lord Shangguo, where do you say this, who can you represent if you don't represent the shogunate and the shogun?" ”
"Then I'd like to ask Lord Oda to show me the Shogunate's authorization document." A sneering smile hung on the corner of Ge Weining's mouth. "After the last peace, don't say that the shogunate still doesn't know the rules."
Oda Nobuharu had participated in the last summer negotiations, so he naturally knew the so-called rules, but he couldn't come up with a certificate from the shogunate, so he had to deny it: "It's just a private contact, and it doesn't negotiate informally, so how can there be a so-called authorization document in the future." ”
Ge Weining just sneered, and after a long time, Nobuharu finally admitted: "Okay, to be honest, this contact was privately advocated by the Mito Yellow Gate Palace, but your conditions are so harsh that it is obviously impossible to persuade the shogunate to accept it." ”
Ge Weining instigated gloomily: "I think that as long as the important ministers below reach an agreement, even the generals will not be able to veto." ”
"Down?" Shinharu seemed to think of something and trembled. "Is the kingdom going to completely destroy the foundation of the shogunate?"
Japan has been quiet for a hundred years, and it is difficult for people at the time to imagine the tragedy of the son killing his father and the murder of the monarch in the Warring States Period, but as a descendant of the Oda clan, Nobuharu, who has a family history, certainly knows the bloody scene in history.
"Ruined the foundation of the shogunate? Have it? "It is naturally impossible for Ge Weining to admit Xinchun's accusations, he said innocently." I'm just going to advise you to be aware of the current affairs. "Ge Weining's explanation is really suspicious of taking off his pants and farting, but it is indeed degrading for the shogunate, which takes Cheng Zhu Lixue as the keynote of rule." Besides, the shogun is not the real king of Japan. ”
"The shogun is not the real king of Japan, and the general is not the real king of Japan. I see. Xinchun, who was struggling with his thoughts, completely lost his grace at this time, and he asked with a hideous face as he gasped. I already understood what Lord Uekoku meant, but how did I convince the shogunate to accept Lordi's kindness? ”
"If it is a combination of public and military, for the sake of Japan, there will be a governor in the eight states of Kanto, a governor in Dewa, Echigo, and Aizu, a governor in Tokaido, and a governor in Nakasendo, and I think we can place the Gosanke and Aizu Matsudaira clan, and as for the North 6 provinces, a steward will also be placed, but the Echizen Matsudaira clan is afraid that the competition will not be able to compete with the Kaga Domain." The names of the places that Ge Weining reported were now under the control of the shogunate, and it was appropriate for the shogunate to act as the representatives of the feudal domains in the above-mentioned areas, whether it was a "combination of public and military" or a "division between the east and the west". "However, there is a saying that the stewards are only responsible for supervising the local feudal domains, and as for the control of the heavenly lords who are handed over to the emperor's court, as well as the positions of the state department, the county department, the head of the land, and the head of the land, they cannot be questioned."
"I understand, the kingdom is to remove the big and keep the small, and abolish the shogunate but retain the management to contain the Kyoto court, which is really a good calculation." Oda Nobuharu nodded clearly. "This will also ensure the survival of the Tokugawa family and the interests of most of the clans." Xinchun paused. "It's just that who will be in charge of the 6 Olympic places?"
Ge Weining was not afraid of Xinchun's association, and directly singled out: "The local strong feudal clan also needs to be appeased. ”
"Has the Sendai Domain taken refuge in the Kingdom?" Regarding Xinchun's speculation, Ge Weining smiled and did not answer, and Xinchun had to sigh. "False and real, the method of rebellion used by the kingdom is so wonderful, so it seems that the failure of the shogunate is also a matter of course."
"Okay, Lord Xinchun, you don't have to knock on the side, just go back and report the truth." Ge Weining stood up. "On the Kyoto side, my dynasty is almost overwhelmed, so please tell Mito-sama that you should decide as soon as possible, if it is too late, even if this dynasty wants to maintain the shogunate, it will not be possible."
"This?" Xinchun smiled bitterly, as the so-called form shì is stronger than people, this is no longer a threat from Ge Weining, and the fact is also true, with the arrival of the 6 of the daimyo of the western feudal domains in Beijing, there is indeed a wave of fighting Sekigahara again in the market, so he can only bow his head at this moment and answer the promise. "Please rest assured, Lord Uekoku, I will turn back to Edo in the next ??????"
Leaving the residence of the minister at the meeting, Ge Weining immediately ordered the attaché beside him: "Send a clipper ship to contact Sendai immediately, just say that the great change in Edo is imminent, let them seize the opportunity??????"
