The area of the Wa Kingdom is not large, but the large and small forces are divided into a lot, and there are hundreds of daimyo in various places alone.

Despite the iron rule of the shogunate, these daimyo and the feudal castles under their control were nominally vested in the emperor. That is, the shogunate management, but in fact, the friction between them has been continuous for hundreds of years.

Among them, the matter of you beating me and me beating you is even more like chicken feathers, and it is also chaotic when it is not clear.

The hatred between the daimyo and the feudal castles also continued, after all, these things are not easy to forget.

When the shogunate was strong, they did not dare to move.

But now, in the turbulent period when Emperor Meisho was lost and the peasant rebellion was about to sweep through the entire Wa Kingdom, the thoughts of these daimyo were naturally alive.

In the middle of the moment, there were a few more black lines on Tokugawa Iemitsu's forehead.

"They're all idiots, they're just ignorant! If you don't support the shogunate now, can't you expect those peasants to continue to support their rule? In such a time, they still have to take the opportunity to crusade against each other! It's stupid! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu's angry voice continued to echo in Edo Castle, but the current head of the Tokugawa family, the current shogunate's ability to be a shogun, of course, was not just a lip service.

It didn't take long.. Tokugawa Iemitsu forged an edict from the emperor in the name of fighting together against the peasant rebels.

Summoned all the daimyos, large and small, who are still under the control of the shogunate, to gather in Edo Castle.,As for the purpose.. There is only one, an important person!

It's just that when these daimyo from all over the world finally arrived in Edo Castle, the first question they asked made Tokugawa Iemitsu's eyelids jump...

"The Great General.. We have no problem sending troops, but we want to know .. Where is Emperor Akimasa now? After all, let's send troops only by the orders of the shogunate, I'm afraid it's still a little worse."

It's really a pot that doesn't open.. What a pot!

As his little niece, Emperor Akimasa naturally has always been good friends with the Tokugawa family, and has never disobeyed Tokugawa Iemitsu's ideas since he ascended the throne.

But now that the person is lost, he has been looking for it for so long.

Haven't found it yet.. I care more about where the little girl is than them. Shouldn't it be yourself?

Tokugawa Iemitsu's expression was obviously not quite right, but he still said, "The Emperor. . . Naturally, it was still in the Kyoto Palace, and this time I summoned everyone to Edo Castle, and I was also ordered by the emperor. ”

"That.. Shogun, now there are rumors outside that the emperor has been lost, I wonder if you can let me wait to see you... After all, it is customary to ask me to go to Kyoto Castle even if I am summoned, not Edo Castle! ”

The daimyo who had just raised the question still said to Tokugawa Iemitsu unrelentingly.

Unexpectedly, Tokugawa Iemitsu's eyes suddenly widened, and anger instantly climbed to his face, and he angrily reprimanded: "Now that the situation is turbulent, and the rebellious peasants are raging everywhere, how can we go to visit the emperor at this time, shouldn't we first put down the rebellion?" ”

As he spoke, Tokugawa Iemitsu looked around with his own sharp gaze, as if trying to find out the daimyo who disagreed with him.

Seeing that Tokugawa Iemitsu seemed to be a little annoyed, the daimyo who had just raised the question also shrunk his neck, and then said curtly: "The rumors from the outside world are really false!" The general was right.. For now, we still have to focus on counterinsurgency! ”

Inviting all the daimyo to Edo Castle was only the first step made by Tokugawa Iemitsu, and in the following period...

He began to gather a large number of warriors who had the courage to go to the battlefield among the people, and shouted the slogan that anyone could become a samurai as long as they were willing to join the shogunate, and when the counterinsurgency was over!

Warrior..

It was a supreme existence for people of all classes in the Wa Kingdom, who did not need to work or even engage in any production.

You can enjoy the offerings from everyone for no reason, even when you are on the streets and alleys.

When ordinary Japanese people saw the samurai, they had to wait on the spot for the samurai to pass before they could continue walking.

Warrior.. It can be said that it is a well-deserved top of the Japanese country.

For a time, a large number of Wa subjects joined the shogunate, and after receiving their own weapons, they were urgently organized into one team after another.

He was then thrown into battle with the peasant rebels.

Emperor Meisho could not find anyone for a while, but the peasant uprising was not idle for a day.

These usually weak and incompetent Japanese peasants, with the invisible impetus of the Ming Dynasty, actually broke out a large-scale uprising of such a scale.

It was a surprise to everyone.

As for why Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't ask.. He didn't even say that he wanted the daimyo who had fallen under the control of the peasant rebels to go to Edo, because he knew that these people were already in a different place at this point.

Because the focus of the encirclement and suppression of the peasant rebel army is these great names who stand on their heads on weekdays to show off their might.

Saburo Tanashita has been a little melancholy recently.

The main reason for my melancholy is that I haven't seen my uncle for a long time.

"Fujiki Sen .. It's been a long time since we've seen our uncle.. Every time I sent us supplies before, I could still see my uncle... I haven't seen him for a long time. ”

Fujiki was a little stunned at first, and then said a little unconcerned: "Uncle has all kinds of things every day, how can he care about our situation every time... In his absence, San Langjun has to continue to work hard! ”

"What Fujiki-kun said is reasonable.. By the way, how about the previous mention of sending all those banknotes to the shogunate in exchange for supplies..."

As soon as Saburo Tanashita finished speaking, he saw Fujiki, who was originally looking through a pile of books, raise his head first.

Then he said: "This matter went relatively smoothly at the beginning... But I didn't expect that... Tokugawa Iemitsu was so decisive that the exchange and trading of Wakoku banknotes had now been banned on the territory of the shogunate! ”

"Shhhhh Doesn't that mean that the banknotes we shipped past have also become waste paper? ”

"Ahh Saburo-kun, not really! We moved quickly, exchanging most of the banknotes on the black market before the shogunate had even ordered it, and exchanged for about 8 million taels of silver and cash! ”

Fujiki said as he spoke, the expression on his face was not as cold as usual, but looked at Saburo Tanashita with some excitement!

"Wow! So much money and supplies? That's good, except for the distribution of the silver to the warriors under his hands, the rest will be kept by the uncle..."

"After all... Uncle! I love money the most! ”
