Chapter 187: The Meiji Restoration (2)

Abe Masahiro wanted to go, and Shimazu Saibin, the lord of the Satsuma domain, was stunned, flew to Edo, and said eagerly: "We are all in trouble, and I will look forward to Lord Abu, and my lord is so easy to go, it is very chilling.

Masahiro Abe: The lord of the Sakura Domain, Hotta Masamu, is a daimyo of the lineage, and this monarch is the first of the old middle schools, and there are no complaints between the two factions of the Emperor and the founding of the country.

Shimazu Qibin said: Although Hotta Masamu has a heart of rebellion, but he is indecisive, and An can plan such a chaotic situation!

Masahiro Abe: If the general of Zhengyi reforms the old and makes great efforts, there will be such a dilemma. As soon as I live, I will definitely help Miss Atsuhime enter the Great Mystery

Shimazu Qibin said: The sooner this matter is, the better, Saigo Takamori is my cronies, and for the time being, in the name of purchasing dowry, he follows the little girl; This gentleman is the unity of knowledge and action, respects heaven and loves people, and the Satsuma clan warrior Komatsu with a sword, and the infantry superintendent Okubo Ritsu, are all heroes among the people, and there is a lot of mention of Lord Raobu.

Masahiro Abe: Satsuma Sanjie, famous and world-shattering; It is inevitable to select talents for the country. The year before last, the black ship of Meiyi invaded the territory, and the Choshu feudal lord Yoshida Shoin went to Uraga alone to inspect for several days, but said that the location of the coastal forts was not good, and none of them were applicable; It is also said that the officials are cowardly, the thieves are arrogant, and the loss of the country is innumerable. Last year, he signed a contract, Yoshida Matsuin was a lonely boat, climbed the ship at night, and asked for directions. Yoshida Shoin's deeds are unparalleled in the world.

Shimazu Qibin said: Yoshida Shoin went to sea without authorization, and he should be beheaded according to the law; Your Excellency's love is like your life, and Yoshida can escape death. Lord Abu sat firmly on the Diaoyu Terrace, and the shogunate, the feudal clans, and the officials and people were able to get along.

Masahiro Abe: Since the founding of the country, there has been an undercurrent surging. The general of the expedition was weak, and in the name of the collegial council of the strong vassals, he tried to conquer the generals; The people and ships are strong and the guns are sharp, and the country is destroyed; I sit in the shogunate, and I can't let you wait for Hu to come. The lord of the Hikone Domain, Ii Naobi, strongly advocated the founding of the country, and his policy of trade and shipbuilding and shipbuilding could indeed enrich the country and strengthen the army.

Shimazu said: There is no good way to deal with the changes that have not been seen in the millennium. The little girl's marriage into the Great Olympics is also a precautionary measure, and it is difficult for Lord Abu to facilitate this matter as soon as possible.

Masahiro Abe: The little girl's marriage into the Great Ao is an established and natural thing in the previous dynasty. However, the changes that have not been seen in a thousand years cannot be decided by opening and fighting; During this period, the turmoil is raging, and it is not something that a little woman can hold. I will leave my post, but also for the sake of the country, you must do your best to breed and prosper, build ships and make artillery, and slowly plan it.

Shimazu Qibin said: Today's changes are treacherous; If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Lord Abu's stay is especially related to the rise and fall of the country, so please think twice before acting.

In the second half of the year, the leader of the founding faction and the lord of the Hikone domain, Ii Naobi, repeatedly attacked, and Abe Masahiro was overwhelmed and angrily resigned.

On September 14, 1855, Hotta Masamu, the lord of the Sakura Domain, was inaugurated as the head of the old middle school.

At the time of the alternation of the old and the new, Masahiro Abe secretly summoned Hotta Masamu, and followed the good temptation: the founder of the country is the one who fights the country, and the breeze is raised; Those who combine public and military forces, and those who respect the emperor and fall the curtain, gather and sue endlessly. We are in the middle of the reconciliation, beware of one family dominance, Fang is the king.

Hotta Masamu said: Lord Abu's good words must be obeyed.

Masahiro Abe: Since the founding of the country, there have been different opinions among shogunates, feudal officials, feudal priests, and village priests. Yoshida Matsuin, a feudal lord of the Choshu Domain, said that for the sake of today's plan, it is better to be cautious about the territory and strict treaties, so as to bind the British and American captives. Take advantage of the reclamation of Ezo, the collection of Ryukyu, the taking of Korea, the pull of Manchuria, and the face of India, with the momentum of Zhang enterprising, in order to consolidate the foundation of retreat. This is a great cause that has been passed down from generation to generation in the world.

Hotta Masamutsu said: Collect the Ryukyus, take Korea, pull Manchuria, and come to India? Looking at the current turmoil, Yoshida Shoin's meditation record is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Masahiro Abe: Therefore, we should promote talents, learn from our skills, develop industries, make ships and cannons, strengthen coastal defense, and slowly wait for the times to change. The general of Zhengyi succeeded to the throne, and he should have chosen the virtuous, respected, filial piety, orphans and widows, and made up for poverty. However, the general is soft by nature and does not like state affairs; In addition, Tianxin and Chengxin have no heirs to succeed to the throne. The two factions of Ichibashi and Kishu were eyeing each other and coveted each other; The battle for succession has long been in full swing.

Hotta Masamu said: In the year of the general's establishment, he is in his prime, and he can have no heirs! If the general gets a tiger within the year, everything will be solved; The daughter of the lord of the Satsuma domain, it is advisable to enter the Olympics as soon as possible.

Abe Masahiro said: In the sixth year of Jiayong, the black ship knocked on the customs, and the situation of the country changed suddenly; Last year, the palace was on fire, and Perry returned; Last month, the Edo earthquake caused the Shiba Mansion to collapse. The founding faction such as the lord of the Hikone Domain, Ii Naobi, repeatedly said that there were many disasters and that it was not appropriate to marry. The sky is not beautiful, and we can only pray for the peace of the country and the people in the coming year.

At the beginning of 1856, when the year was calm, the shogun Tokugawa Iedai married Atsuhime, the adopted daughter of Shimazu Saibin, the lord of the Satsuma domain.

Atsuhime entered the Great Ooku and eventually became the shogun's main room Imperial Observatory. After the wedding was completed from Saigo Takamori, his cronies stayed in Edo for more than a month, and returned to the domain to resume his life.

Shimazu Saibin, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, said: The little girl is dressed up and enters the Olympics, and half of the matter is done!

Saigo Takamori Road: The lord of Qiyu, the word passed by the imperial platform, the shogun is weak and weak, and it is difficult to make a difference.

Shimazu Saibin said: Expected. The two factions of Ichibashi and Kishu are eyeing each other, and the battle for succession is what does the imperial platform mean?

Xixiang Longsheng Road: Yutai said, a bridge is happy and smart, but it is unruly and difficult to achieve great things; Tokugawa Ieshige is a young man, gentle and courteous, and he is really the best among people.

Shimazu Qibin said: Do your best to obey the mandate of heaven, the Satsuma Domain is prosperous, ships and cannons are built, and the times change.

Saigo Takamori Road: For more than 100 years, the Tokugawa shogunate closed the country, coerced the son of heaven to order the princes, the feudal lords were miserable, and the people were struggling to make a living. Tokugawa is more than the emperor, and his real name is small and outnumbered. The lord has Kashima, which has been passed for three generations, and the country is dangerous and the people are attached, and the virtuous can be used for it. Now, if out of righteousness, lead the people of Kashima to conquer the king, and the people will not eat pot pulp to welcome the lord! If so, the hegemony can be achieved, and the royal family can be prosperous.

Shimazu Qibin said: The Tokugawa shogunate, after more than 200 years, its roots are deep and solid, and it can be shaken by not agitating lips and teeth! Don't act before the time comes.
