Epydz (Koyamabei, who was the head of the small Nato, quickly sent the text of the Natsuriyama Prayer obtained from Tokugawa Tsunajo to Kofu, and told the shogun Tsunayoshi and the old man who accompanied him in exile about the danger
"Lord Koyama is fortunate, let's go down and rest first" Looking at the expressionless general, Yanagisawa Yoshihei retreated from Koyama, and when the close supervisor retreated, Yanagisawa presided over the meeting on behalf of the general and said, "Xia Ko's request has been put on the table, do you think you should agree?" ”
"The Shogun has already ordered the conscription of soldiers and horses from all over the world, how can he agree to Xia Ko's alliance under the castle without a fight?" "The Arbitrary faction continues to advocate another decisive battle with the Xia army" If peace is sued without a fight, I am afraid that the daimyo of the world will think that the shogunate is weak and incompetent, and the authority of the shogunate that has only been established by successive shoguns since the god monarch may be shaken"
In this regard, the lord and faction retorted: "But the danger of Xia Kou is also a reality, not to mention whether the daimyo can be assembled on time, even if they are assembled, the defense of the coastal provinces will be more and more empty, and the Xia people can avoid the real and be virtual, and then the fire will not only be in Edo, but the reputation of a hundred years of peace will be completely ruined."
"In addition, although the food and salaries of each feudal domain are raised by each feudal clan themselves, once the war drags on, the shogunate will have to bear the expenses of the savings of each feudal clan in the final analysis, so where will this money come from?" ”
"If you don't have money to fight, then you have the money to compensate Xia Kou?" Non-partisan retorted and sneered, "Several adults are really afraid of the enemy like tigers"
"Didn't the Battle of Edo tell a few adults, Xia Kou is not easy to mess with?" Of course, the lord and faction will not admit that it is their own weakness, "Now that Edo Castle has been lost, if Xia Kou defends Edo Castle to the death, even if it has no reinforcements, how long will it take for a few adults to defeat Edo with those big barrels alone?" Half? A year? Or ten or eight years? ”
"That's enough," Seeing that the dispute in the hall was likely to escalate, and then seeing the face of General Tsunayoshi Tetsuei, Yanagisawa Yoshihei immediately exercised the power of the host, "The great enemy is current, and you adults still have to fight among themselves."
Since the general was in front of him, although the people present were unwilling, they still stopped talking, and listened to Yanagisawa ask by name: "Lord Yuan, do you think this battle can still be fought?" ”
As one of the biggest leaders of the arbitrari faction, Hara Boqi Shou responded with a cold face: "Lord Shogun, Lord Yanagisawa, Lord Ryūna, all of you are old and middle-aged, I think that Xia Ko's strength is not enough to shake the shogunate, and the so-called liaison with the imperial court and the daimyo of the outside world is just a threat to force the shogunate to agree to its conditions."
Originally, there was a basis for saying this, and during the Genroku period, the Imperial Family and the Imperial Princesses had a territory of 141,151 koku, while the Daimyo of the Outer Daimyo only possessed 9,834,799 koku, while the Shogun Tenryō had 4,213,171 koku, the shogunate banner had 2,666,545 koku, and the Daimyo of the Pedaōdai and the daimyo of the clan had a territory of 9,325,300 koku
Judging from the above numbers, in terms of economic strength and the number of troops at their disposal, the power of the shogunate far overwhelmed potential betrayers, not to mention that the shogunate's pro-feudal genealogy also controlled the country's major commercial cities and key military locations, and not all the daimyo had the courage to confront the shogunate, so even if the emperor's court and a small number of outsiders were lured by Huaxia to stand up against the shogunate, it would be difficult to shake the foundation of the shogunate
Yanagisawa agreed: "These have also been considered below, but it is just that Xia Kou is dangerously attacked by sea, which may be difficult to crack, so it will not make the feudal domains give up their coastal territories, and the finances of the feudal domains are not sufficient, once the war starts, I am afraid that the next year, or even the next few years, I am afraid that the rizi will be sad."
"Although Xia Kou is not trying to invade Shenzhou like Yuan Kou, Xia Kou's ambitions are even more unpredictable, so if the feudal lords are loyal to the shogunate, they should also try their best to serve the government" Yuan Bo Qishou gritted his teeth and said, "At least I thought that I would have to fight Xia Kou again before I could sit down and negotiate."
Yanagisawa is not targeting Hara, but he wants to put both sides in front of Shogun Tsunayoshi, so as to help this ducai person make up his mind: "I am afraid that I will not be able to reward the merits if I win the battle, and the defeat of the shogunate will be even more critical.
The Hojo clan in Yanagisawa's mouth is not the Go-Hojo clan that dominated the Warring States Kanto by the impostor descendants of Ise Kuro, but refers to the former Hojo clan, which held the real power of the Kamakura shogunate at the time, and the former Hojo clan was unable to pay the rewards of the imperial family after resisting the Yuan army's invasion, which caused social unrest and was finally destroyed by the Miyagata and the rebellious Kanto samurai group
Yanagisawa's words caused a slight change in the general Tsunayoshi, that's right, the reason why he repeatedly changed his name like the third generation of generals Jiaguang and the fourth generation of generals Jiagang was precisely to weaken the local forces and strengthen Zhongyang's finances, but if it was because of the battle with the Xia army, Zhixing who finally needed to divide hundreds of thousands of stones or even millions of stones, not only would the previous efforts be ruined, but more importantly, Zhongyang's finances would also be completely bankrupt
"But now the asking price of the Xia people is too high" noticed that the general's god was wrong, and Yuan was shocked, so he hurriedly retorted, "It doesn't matter if you open your mouth to trade, it's just eight million pieces of gold and silver, can the shogunate take it out?" There is also a severance with Dutch red
