Epydz ("In the middle of the Xin Dynasty, Xia Kou came to the east, knocked on the customs and trade, demanded compensation, Edo (shogunate) could not bear the humiliation, and ordered all the feudal clans and merchants and the common people to increase taxes to defend against the enemy, and then the edict was issued, and the kingdoms were terrified, and those who knew said that it was turbulent, and this began, and the period of the Tokugawa world was not eternal"

"Damn it!" Although the Sendai Domain's Zhixing was nominally only 620,000 koku lower than that of the Kagasatsuma Domain, the true financial scale of the domain was said to have exceeded 2 million koku after several generations of management by the Date clan, and it was precisely because of this economic strength that the Sendai Domain, which was secretly regarded as a thorn in the side of the Shogunate, was asked to provide a lump sum of 100,000 taels of gold for military expenses
"Lord Sama, the shogunate's intention to cut the feudal domain has long been known to passers-by, so what does it mean to say it repeatedly" The feudal lord Motewa Yoshitsuki shook his head and interrupted Tamura Saoma Munera's accusation against the shogunate's chatter, "But the main domain has always counted on the sale of rice in Edo, and now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the route to Edo has been interrupted, and it is not a good thing for the main domain, so even if it is not an excuse to avoid the shogunate's cutting of the feudal domain, the main domain must stand by the shogunate's side at this time."
"There is some truth in what Musashisuke-sama said, but if 100,000 Zhu Ai really wants to give it away, this clan will not be able to pass this year?" The important minister who spoke, Date Ichiki Morimasamura, shook his head, "And from the perspective of the following, in fact, what is wrong with the shogunate's acceptance of the conditions for the Xia people to open the port, and at that time, the clan may be able to sell more auspicious abalone to the Xia people!" β
There was a burst of laughter in Yan SΓΉ's assessment room, and everyone turned their heads to look, but it was Shikura Kogoro Tsuneda, a descendant of the head of Shikura Rokuemon Tsuneko, the owner of the Yoshihama Pavilion, who participated in the feudal administration as a quasi-family, but before the feudal priest in charge of discipline could open his mouth to reprimand Zhikura for being rude, Tsuneda, who caused chaos, took the lead and said
"I just lost my respects, I really remembered Masamune's long-cherished wish for a while, and then thought of Masamura-sama's remarks about the failure of the shogunate, and I didn't hold back" Speaking of Date Masamune, who opened the domain, the people present couldn't help but straighten their chests, yes, the Date family back then was claimed to have the potential to replace the current Tokugawa shogunate, but Tsuneda's words did not mean that the Date family now has a chance to overthrow the shogunate "It's a pity that there is no Ishinomaki Port in the port that the Aisha people asked to enter, and I think they don't like the abalone of the main domain"
Date Masamura's face was blue: "Lord Zhikura, are you saying that there is no seriousness in talking next?" β
"No, Ichiki Mamoru misunderstood" Tsuneda waved his hand, "What it means is that if you don't give money to the shogunate, I'm afraid that this domain will not even have a future, let alone carry forward the last wish of Masamune, and strengthen the strength of this domain."
"The words of the owner of the Yoshihama Pavilion reminded me that I may be able to try to contact the people of the Xia Kingdom, and if I can help him, I may be able to make this domain take a leap forward" There was a glint of ambition in the eyes of Tamura Saoma Sora, who spoke at the beginning, "For this reason, even if you are infamous for betraying your back, it is worth it"
"It's not proper" Shi Muda Daizen Liang Nagalai and Bustard Suruga Suzuke Zhou Ming both shouted in unison, one of which Nagalai quickly shut up, but Bustard Tian Zhou Ming just said directly, "It's not easy to replace the shogunate, not to mention that the shogunate has tens of thousands of banners, that is, how many of the feudal domains around this domain are the genealogy of the shogunate"
"Surukawasuke's words are exactly what I want to say," Ishinoda Nagayori added, "If the Shogunate really wants to go against the Shogunate, not only will the hearts of the people in the domain not necessarily be unified, but even if the army is really successful, I am afraid that the surrounding feudal clans will be the first to pounce on the Shogunate and sell it to the Shogunate, so the opinion is that if you can get in touch with the Natsu people, then try to contact one or two, as for the fact that it is too early to overthrow the Shogunate, it is better to wait and see the Shogunate and the Natsu people fight, if the Shogunate is weakened because of this, the Honvatorium can also calmly plan"
"What about these 100,000 Zhu?" Okuyama University Sukekai frowned, and asked in an uncertain tone, "Or do you want to give?" β
"That's natural, the more this time this domain, the more you can't show your minions," Bustard Tian Zhou Ming replied with a decisive cut of gold, "As for this domain's son this year," Zhou Ming sneered, "No matter whether you win or lose, the Xia people always have to leave, and our grain can't enter Edo, and there will definitely be a shortage of food in the future on the Edo side, since there is a shortage of food, the price of grain will definitely rise, and when the time comes, maybe not only can you earn back the 100,000 Zhu, but even have excess benefits."
To give or not to give, this is not only a problem of the Sendai domain, this is already a common problem of more than 100 feudal daimyo in the genroku period, the evil behavior of inflation in the Genroku period made the economic situation of each domain not good, in the face of the sudden rise of the general demand, whether the feudal domain is large or small, or the family of the clan genealogy and foreign countries, one by one, the eyes are straight, secretly complaining
However, the conditions of the summer side brought by Michihiko of Hopfukuji were made public by the thunderous shogunate, and for a while, the princes of each family lost their voices, and each domain did not dare to directly oppose the order of the shogunate, so as not to bear the notoriety of betraying the shogunate, but when it came to whether to pay the shogunate's general request in full, each feudal clan still had its own considerations
"What do you mean, this 100,000 Zhu still has to be given?" Unlike the wealthy Sendai Domain, the Satsuma Domain, which had lost the benefits of the Satsuma Clan, was getting worse day by day over the years, so the 100,000 Zhu invitation became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and immediately caused a great infighting among the forces of all parties in the domain."
