Leaving aside the fact that the Japanese court was ready to act on some of the promises made by the Chinese, in fact, there were people within the samurai who tried to use the war for their own benefit. No, Ge Hongsheng, who was supposed to be deported early in the morning, became the guest of honor of the Date family at this moment.

"Lord Ge, the shogunate's perverse actions not only angered the kingdom, but also brought disaster to Japan."

As the Sendai Domain's eternal generation of sitting Ichiban (Su Lao) Wada Nobuyi is an old minister with a clan (genealogy) identity, and he has 7,000 koku of Zhixing, although it is not as good as those who have more than 10,000 koku Zhixing (after the powerful lord of the Warring States Period, his family was subordinate to the Date family as early as the Huizong period), and the quasi-family (after the powerful retainer of the Warring States Period), but it is much more noble than the ordinary seat, Pingshi, Daifanshi, and Gushi, and it has been in the center of the Sendai Domain for many years and is proficient in government affairs. It is appropriate to be responsible for receiving diplomats like Ge Hongsheng.

"This clan has been deeply hated since 6 Okumori and below, and this clan has decided not to be in the same league as it, and this time the heart of the fist, please also ask the lord of the kingdom to know, and the whole clan is not very grateful."

Ge Hongsheng smiled faintly when he heard this: "So, your clan has already withdrawn the soldiers and horses that have joined the quasi-standing force?" ”

Wada Shinye showed an embarrassed expression: "Lord Ge, forgive me, now that the shogunate is powerful, this domain has to be perfunctory, but please rest assured, once the two countries go to war, the soldiers and horses of this domain will definitely defect." ”

"Oh?" Ge Hongsheng finally showed a look of attention. "If your clan can really do this, it can be said that it is very good." Ge Hongsheng can also be regarded as the old man of the governor's yamen, and he knows that there is no banquet in the world that eats for nothing, so he asks directly. "But if you do this, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the Japanese government and the opposition?"

"Everyone is making money, and the clan can't afford to betray Japan." Hetian Xinye appealed to the snake on the pole. "Therefore, the feudal clan has paid such a great price, and I ask the kingdom to send down the grace??????"

"Your clan has bought a lot of good things from my Chao merchants over the years." Ge Hongsheng glanced at the somewhat stunned Hetian Su Lao, and responded quietly. "Fifteen six-point guns, eight-point guns, the new infantry guns are enough to equip six groups, as well as nearly a thousand leather armor, hundreds of iron armor, and 100,000 catties of saltpeter??????"

Ge Hongsheng said flatly: "These are all things before the shogunate opened up the military equipment of the various domains. I didn't know that in the peaceful season of Japan, what did your feudal clan do with so much armament? However, the imperial court has its own interests in selling arms, so the official has never intervened. Now that I think about it, your domain is really a precautionary and unpredictable prophet. ”

Every time Ge Hongsheng said a word, Hetian Xinye's face became ugly, but what made him completely lose his temper was the last sentence of Ge Hongsheng's poor dagger: "Then now, this official wants to ask, is your domain ready?" ”

You ready? Ready for something? This has infinite meanings, and I am afraid that it is not something that Wada can respond to all.

But Hetian knew that the so-called opportunity must not be lost and never come again, so he was only slightly stunned, and then bowed down to Ge Hongsheng: "Lord Ge, the whole clan is ready to fight and unite as one!" ”

Ge Hongsheng did not accept Hetian Xinye's bold words, but asked sternly: "But this Japan is so big, it is by no means a corner of the Northeast, as far as this official knows, there are many other powerful people far above your domain. Why break through the encirclement of relatives and genealogies? ”

Wada raised his head and pursed his lips resolutely: "Lord Ge, you have the saying that the king who entered the Kanchu first, and compared with the Maeda, Maori, Shimazu, Kuroda, and Hosokawa domains, this domain is the closest to Edo??????"

The plan of the Sendai Domain was already on paper: "As for the surrounding shogunate and genea, if you want to come to the shogunate, you must issue an edict to King Qin, and the main domain can use this to deceive the road to Edo Castle unimpeded." ”

Ge Hongsheng asked: "What if the feudal clans didn't hear that your clan was in turmoil and made an appointment to attack Sendai?" ”

"This domain has the heart to break the boat, not to mention that with Edo, it doesn't matter if Sendai is disrupted."

"That makes sense." Ge Hongsheng nodded. "However, if the war is beneficial to the shogunate, you will be the king of Qin, and if it is the other way around, it will be to help the war with our dynasty." This was said clearly, and it immediately made Hetian's face red. "There's no need to explain." Ge Hongsheng waved his hand to interrupt Hetian Cainu's defense. "There is no point in victory, and speculation is normal, but it is not enough to sit on the power through this, so let's do it, Sendai is famous for rice, and although our army has prepared supplies for the Eastern Expedition, it is always good if it can be raised nearby." Ge Hongsheng commanded the first army of the Sendai Domain. "Once the two countries go to war, in order to show their sincerity, how about your vassal first provide 100,000 stone of military rations?"

Wada Nobuyi was extremely angry, but compared to the power of the world, the payment of 100,000 stone rice was actually nothing, so he just weighed it for a moment, and then bowed down again: "I will do my best to convince the whole family, and ask the country to give the Sendai Domain a chance to prove itself??????"

"Opportunities are earned by oneself." Ge Hongsheng smiled. "This official will wait for the good news of the female servant, but remember, my heavenly soldiers may appear in Japan anytime and anywhere, once your clan hesitates, and when our army defeats the shogunate, things will not be controlled by my mere six-rank function??????"

The Date clan was about to move, and there was also a split within the Tokugawa family, and the lord of the Mito domain, Tokugawa Tsunjo, who had presided over the signing of the "Treaty of Japan and Xia Genroku", clearly opposed the resurgence of the conflict with China; The same Imperial Three Family, Tokugawa Yoshitsu, the lord of the Owari Domain, sided with the shogun because of the repeated blows of the Huaxia Navy to the Nagoya Outer Port; The Kishu Domain, which was cold because of its death and cold teeth, also supported the shogun under the leadership of the young and vigorous lord Yoshimune, and actively prepared for war.

On the Mikemon side, the Iyo-Matsuyama Domain, which suffered greatly from it, was also opposed to another war in the summer because the former feudal lord Matsudaira was responsible for the defeat of the former shogun Tsunayoshi in the First Summer War and was forced to commit suicide in the signing of the Summer Treaty. The rest, such as the Okuhira Matsudaira clan and the Echizen Matsudaira clan, did not advocate angering the Huaxia because of the coastal territory or the reasons within the range of the Chinese naval division; Only the Aizu Matsudaira family, the descendants of the second shogun, Tokugawa Hidetadada's son, Hoshina Masasa, and the Koshichi Matsudaira family, the younger brother of the family Nobu, either responded to the shogunate's call to prepare for war and fought against the invasion of China.

As for the Maeda family of the Kaga Domain, the Ikeda family of the Tottori Domain, and the Ikeda family of the Okayama Domain, who were regarded as quasi-imperial families, the generals of the Afu Shogunate were also worried about the invasion of their territories by Huaxia, so in addition to sending people to join the quasi-permanent reserve, they also formed reserve armies in their respective territories.

The Hiroshima Domain and its branches were already a little detached from the Shogunate because of the Genroku Rebellion, and at this time they were worried about the Huaxia attack, so they were also training to protect themselves, but the neighboring Choshu Domain found an opportunity to contact the Huaxia side almost openly, and refused to obey the shogunate's will to expel the Chinese diplomats and merchants, and the posture of a country within a country.

Speaking of which, the Choshu Domain had been at odds with the shogunate since the beginning of the reign lord of the domain, Mori Terumoto, and every New Year, the elders of the clan would remind the feudal lord at the time, "What is the chance of the end of the war this year?" It can be seen that the Choshu Domain's dissatisfaction with the shogunate was deep-rooted. It's just that the area around the Choshu Domain was full of relatives and genealogies of the shogunate, and the rest of the people were also afraid of the shogunate's force and did not dare to act rashly, so the successive feudal lords could only helplessly always answer the old man "It's too early".

In the previous summer and Japanese wars, the Chinese side did not contact the Choshu Domain, and the Choshu Domain, which was located outside the center of Japanese politics, could not change its fate. However, this time it was clearly different, and the communication between Tongguò and the Chinese envoys stationed in Maguan had already gained the support of the outside world, and it was natural to see this summer war as a turning point to change the fate of the domain.

"Lord Amano (one gate, also known as the Uda Mori clan), Lord Fukuhara (quasi-one gate), Lord Riha (Jigumi), the so-called real gold is not afraid of fire to refine the invitation, how your clan treats our dynasty, my dynasty will definitely give your clan an explanation." Zeng Chaogui, the Huaxia Honglu envoy stationed in Maguan, made a promise to the people of the Changzhou Domain. "At that time, no matter how the center of Japan changes, there will be a place for your vassal, and as for the territory, it will inevitably increase by one or two."

Entering the center is to restore the prestige of the Maori family since the five elders, and increasing the territory has satisfied everyone's long-standing hopes, so hearing Zeng Chaogui's words, several Maori family members showed joy on their faces.

After rejoicing for a while, the head of the Amano family, who had 16,000 and 23 stone zhixing, pleaded: "My lord has a good eye on the Choshu domain, but these are all things in the future, and the surrounding feudal clans are currently eyeing this domain by order of the shogunate, and if they can't dispel their ambitions, this domain will have no future, so I ask the kingdom to do its best to support it." ”

"Do you want an ordnance? This is easy to do, there are still 100 stepping guns in the merchant hall in Maguan, and the official is in charge, and he can allocate equipment to your domain free of charge. Speaking of this, Zeng Chaogui immediately handed over a letter to the Maori family. Is that enough? ”

The answer is naturally no, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the stage of Japan, the Maori family, who has been away from the center for many years, needs a bigger hole card: "Lord Zeng, this clan has the audacity to ask for the samurai of this clan who have been summoned into the upper ** to return ??????"

Zeng Chaogui bared his teeth: "This is troublesome, this matter needs the approval of the Ministry of War, and this official can only help you apply, but whether it is successful or not, I am afraid that it will not be known for a while, even if there is good news, I am afraid that it will not help your domain to resist the prying eyes of the surrounding area." ”

"Please try your best to fight for it, but I don't appreciate it." The people of the Choshu Domain were exposed as they spoke. "As for the surrounding domains, this domain is trying to rebel, and it is also asking for reinforcements in case ??????" Pear feathers
