Chapter 447: The Eastern Expedition to the Wa Kingdom (continued)

Last time, I said that the carpenter and the goblins were about to go to the "Oriental Island Country Cultivation Realm" to kick the field, but they were intercepted and warned by the other party, and the conflict was about to break out.

"Hmph, your grandfather and I are not scared, there is a kind of invite your master to come out and pick it out, to see if Lao Tzu is powerful, or is your master useless?" The carpenter was unforgiving, and deliberately used his powerful spiritual power to push the divine consciousness transmission forward, intending to let the other party know everything, and it was best to be angry.

At this time, the "Shogunate Council," the highest "Shogunate Council," with Tokugawa Hidetada and Tokugawa Iemitsu and his son as the "two heads of state," was held in the council hall of the "Edo Shogunate" ("Tokugawa Shogunate") in the Japanese archipelago, with the participation of the "daimyos" (feudal lords), representatives of the samurai class, and shogunate officials from all over Japan.

By the way, the "Edo Shogunate", also known as the "Tokugawa Shogunate", was the third feudal military regime in Japan after the two "shogunates" of "Kamakura" and "Muromachi", because the Tokugawa clan used "Edo" as a political base and opened the "shogunate" to control the world of the Japanese archipelago, and the world called its regime "Edo shogunate".

From 1603, when Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed as the Shogun of Seiyi and established the Shogunate in Edo, to 1867, when the 15th Shogun Keiki returned political power to the Imperial Court of the Wa King ("Daisei Hokkai"). After that, it was the period of the Meiji Restoration, which was carried out by the "Wa King" of the modern Wa Kingdom.

As a result, the Edo Shogunate ruled for 265 years, almost at the same time as the Manchu Dynasty, which ruled China, and was the most powerful and final "samurai political organization" (feudal warlord alliance) in Japanese history, following the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, which unified Japanese history.

Since the establishment of the "Tokugawa Shogunate", it has gone through a total of "entrepreneurial period", "development period", "new growth period", "heyday period", "decline period" and other processes, namely:

The "Founding Period" (1603 - 1650) experienced three generations of shoguns: Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Hidetada, and Tokugawa Iemitsu; The "development period" (1651 - 1715) was marked by four shoguns: Tokugawa Ietsuna, Tokugawa Tsunyoshi, Tokugawa Ienobu, and Tokugawa Ietsu.

The "Prosperous Period" (1716 - 1786) experienced three generations of shoguns: Tokugawa Yoshimune, Tokugawa Ieshige, and Tokugawa Ieji; The "heyday" (1787-1852) experienced the Tokugawa Ieqi and Tokugawa Iekei two generals; The "Decline Period" (1853 - 1866) was the period between Tokugawa Iesada, Tokugawa Ieshige, and Tokugawa Yoshiki, three shoguns, that is, the period from the arrival of American envoys to the return of the Great Shogun.

The prestige of the shogunate was undermined by the deterioration of the finances of the ruling class, from the "shogunate" to the "samurai", and the large number of small rural landlords and peasants under the rule of the "shogunate" were dissatisfied with the oppression and exploitation of the feudal lords ("big landlords" and "big rich lords"), and riots often broke out, similar to the "peasant uprising" in ancient China.

Most of the people who launched the "Ichiku" were peasants, merchants, or religious believers from all over the country, especially those who believed in foreign religions such as "Catholicism", which was considered by the "Tokugawa shogunate" to be the "source of trouble", so the Portuguese missionaries who instigated the "Catholic" revolt were expelled from the country, but the "Protestant" Dutch were left behind.

Later, with the addition of foreign (American) demands for trade, the shogunate was accommodating, but the general trend shook the entire "shogunate system", which eventually led to the rise of the feudal lords, and developed into the "Shogunate Downfall Movement" against the shogunate, and finally forced the "shogunate system" in Japan to finally decline.

Straight to the point. Tokugawa Iemitsu, as the supreme ruler of Japan at the same time as Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, was born on August 12, 1604 and died on June 8, 1651.

In a different time and space, Tokugawa Iemitsu's mother was Asai E, and she gave birth to her son Tokugawa Iemitsu in "Edo Castle" in Japan in the ninth year of Keicho (1604). Tokugawa Iemitsu's grandfather, Tokugawa Ieyasu, gave his grandson the name "Takechiyo", which means that he will become the third "shogun" in the future.

Immediately after birth, Chiyo Takechiyo was taken away from her parents and left to be raised by her nursing mother. In the "6th year of Yuanhe" (1620), the name was officially changed to "Iemitsu". In June of the 9th year of Motowa (1623), Tokugawa Iemitsu and his father, Tokugawa Hidetada, returned to Edo Castle and officially became the third "shogun". Tokugawa Hidetada lived in seclusion in Nishinomaru, so the place was called the "Great Imperial Palace", and a "dual politics" was formed.

In the third year of Kanei (1626), Tokugawa Iemitsu was promoted to "Left Minister". After the death of his father, Tokugawa Hidetada, in the 8th year of Kanei (1632), the "Tokugawa Shogunate" began to be ruled by the "Shogun" Tokugawa Iemitsu himself, and he finally became the supreme ruler of all Japan.

During the reign of Tokugawa Iemitsu, he established the system of "Lao Chu", "Wakanian Yoshi", "Shocho", and "Daimesuke", and designated the current shogun of the shogunate (himself) as the supreme authority. In the 12th year of Kanei (1635), he revised the "Laws of the Samurai Family" and imposed an obligation on the princes of all parties to "attend and give an account".

In addition, Tokugawa Iemitsu monopolized the benefits of "Nagasaki trade" with foreign nations and intensified the suppression of the spread of "Catholicism". In the 14th year of Kanei (1637), the "Shimabara Rebellion" was completed, and four years later, the "Closed Country Policy" was completed, and the "Tokugawa Shogunate" series of power policies were considered "arbitrary politics".

On April 20, 1651, Tokugawa Iemitsu died in Edo at the age of forty-eight. The location of his tomb is located in the "Rinnoji Temple" in Nikko City, Shigi Prefecture, and the legal name is "Daiyuin", and it was given "a Taisei Minister" by the "Shogunate Imperial Court". This is his life in another time and space.

At this time, in the council hall of the "Edo Shogunate", Tokugawa Iemitsu and his father Tokugawa Hidetada knelt opposite each other, and the representatives of feudal forces from all over the country were sitting with their heads bowed and kneeling together, all with serious expressions of "eyes and noses" and "noses and hearts", because they had already learned very bad news.

"尊尊する父上が,あなたの息子に就いており,私はすでに信頼できる情報を得ました。 海の西の明は傾国の兵を率いてわが日本国を攻める準備をしている。 これはどうすればいいですか。 (Your Excellency Father, your son, I have received reliable information that the Ming Dynasty on the west side of the sea is preparing to raise an army to attack Japan.) What should I do? )”

“フフ、そうですか? 明が滅びてわが日本国の心は死なないようですね。 どれだけの軍隊を派遣できるかわからないということですか? また、海を越えた重洋作戦は容易ではありません! (Huh, huh?) It seems that the Ming Dynasty will not die when it destroys the heart of Japan! I just don't know how many troops it can send? In addition, it is not easy to fight across the seas and oceans! ”

“そうだよ。 お二人の会軍様は、モンゴル人が築いた元朝が、かつて二度も東征して、私の日本国は失敗に終わったことを忘れていますか。 海には暴風や大波があるのに,何を恐れているのか? (That's it.) The two generals, have you forgotten that after the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty, they sent troops to Japan twice, and they all ended in failure? There are strong winds and waves at sea, what are you afraid of? The shogunate officials and the "daimyos" from all over the country, who had been kneeling down below, couldn't help but feel guilty in their hearts.

Tokugawa Iemitsu heard the disapproval from the words of his father opposite, but he always felt that this time he was afraid that there would be more bad luck, so he asked again: "でも, お父さんよ." ご存知かもしれませんが、明は今回合計300,000の軍隊をdispatch して我が国を攻撃しました。 そして、明の明を陰で助けている修道者も多いそうです。 (But, Father!) As you may not know, the Ming Dynasty sent a total of 300,000 troops to attack our country this time. I also heard that there were many 'cultivators' who secretly helped the Ming Dynasty. Tokugawa Iemitsumichi.

"何が修道者が参戦しますか? これは小さな問題ではないよ。 必ず報告してください! (What?) There are 'cultivators' in the war? This is no small problem! Be sure to report it to ...... As soon as Tokugawa Tadahide said this, he stopped abruptly because he had scruples.

"Who is the best of the story. Fuso Shintoism の教祖に報告するのですか? それは天皇だよ。 そうすれば、それは権力を譲り合うことになるのではないか。 だめだだめだ,絶対にだめだ(要报對?) Do you want to report it to the 'sect leader' of the 'Fuso Shinto Sect'? That's the 'Emperor'! In this way, is that not the same as giving up power? No, no, absolutely not! )”

"Breath child. 非常時に非常なことをしなければならないということを覚えておきなさい,今の情勢から見れば,だめでもしなければならないよ! 死ぬのを待っていることを知っていたほうがいいでしょう。 (Son, remember, in extraordinary times, do extraordinary things!) Judging from the current form, if it doesn't work, it has to work! It's better than knowing that you're waiting to die. )”

"しかしこのまま日本中の支配権をみすみす引き渡すのだろうか。 息子さん、私は本当に诵しいですね! やめたほうがいいでしょう。 他に方法はありませんか? あなたたちも話してみてください (Can you just hand over the right to rule Japan?) Son, I'm really unwilling! Or don't, right? Is there another way? You say? )”

"お二人の会軍様がお二人で決めておけばいいのですが、私たちはせいぜい駆け足で手を打つしかないと言いました。 時間が逼っていますので、お二人の会軍に迅速な決断をお願いします(Two generals, adults are on top, you two just decide.) We don't count, at most we can only run errands and get started. Time is pressing, please make a decision quickly! )”
