Chapter 187: The Meiji Restoration of the Wa Kingdom (16)

The next day, Shimazu Hisamitsu re-entered Edo, confronted the shogun, and said earnestly: "Lord Kaiyu, Lord Shogun personally led the princes into the court, met with our emperor, and everything was solved.

Tokugawa Ieshige, the shogun, looked left and right.

Political President Matsudaira Keito: My emperor's edict, how can I not obey it! However, in the middle of summer, the heat is unbearable, and the general's little itch has not healed, how can he move lightly!

When the shogun saw his post Ichibashi Keiki echoed: Previously, when the general married the lord of the palace, he personally drafted an oath that was definitely not a minister; I have checked the history books, and this is a unique thing in 600 years. Today, Shimazu-sama has repeatedly urged the general to enter the Hajj, regardless of his intentions, Shimazu-sama can dare to hold the blade and break his fingers, and personally draft a blood letter that will never be subordinate, and tell the people of the world!

Shimazu Hisamitsu shot the case and said angrily: The general's words are conclusive, and everyone in the world knows it; Lord Qingxi's insinuation, is it what the general said in hindsight!

The Satsuma Domain's protector Xuan Yu was in full swing; Changzhou's first talented man Jiusaka Xuanrui was very worried, and urgently summoned his fellow disciple and the chief inspector Kido Takayo, and said: Nagai Yale sailed far and wide, bewitched the lord, delayed the country, and caused great harm, if he hadn't saved his brother's life, he would have been killed!

Kido Takayo said: The Satsuma clan coerced the Son of Heaven to order the shogunate, and the arrogance was blazing; If the public and military forces really cooperate as one, there will be no day when our Changzhou Domain will come out.

Jiusaka Xuanrui said: The king is overthrown, and it is urgent to do so; I have a "Huilan Suggestion", please forward it to the lord.

Kido Takayo said: Brother's strategy, Kuang Guo Ji Min! I will immediately hand it over to the lord, and then please bring it down.

With the help of the official Zhou Buzheng, Kido met with the lord of the Choshu domain, Maori, and submitted the "Huilan Proposal", and then talked about the disadvantages of the long-term strategy of navigation and the harm of the integration of public and military forces.

Maori respectfully said: The Satsuma clan coerced the envoys, can it be done?

Kido Takayoshi: The lord of Qiyu, the Kanto shogunate, has been in power for 600 years, and it is not something that can be shaken by a feudal lord and an envoy. As a matter of urgency, the lord immediately led his troops to Luo, lobbied the ministers of the imperial court, and met His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhou Buzheng's help; The lord of Qiqi, the ministers of the imperial court, including Prince Chihito of Sugawa Palace, Tadano Nakayama of the council, and Minoru Sanjo of Masakincho, etc., are eager to wear and wait for the lord to come.

Maori respectfully said: In troubled times, life is cheap, ants are fighting, and I am a hero!

In mid-August, the lord of the Choshu domain, Mori Keiqin, led 1,000 troops to Kyoto to meet Emperor Komei.

Emperor Xiaoming was full of joy and sorrow, and then summoned Prince Chihito of Suchuan Palace, Zhongshan Zhongneng, and Sanjo Shimei to discuss.

Emperor Filial Piety: When the Satsuma Domain was passed down from generation to generation, and the integration of public and military forces was completed, the Choshu Domain had also entered Luo, how to settle this unruly Heroic Domain?

Masaki Town Sanjo Shimei said: Your Majesty, whether it is a combination of public and military forces or a downfall, but it can benefit the court, it can be accepted.

Prince Chihito of the Arikigawa Palace seconded the proposal and said: Your Majesty, beware of the dominance of one feudal domain, and then become the trend of holding the government hostage in the eastern part of the country.

Commenting on Zhongshan Zhongneng to say again: Your Majesty, the snipe and the clam compete with each other, and you can get ten thousand benefits!

Filial piety to the emperor's road: do not break or stand, strong and strong, only the sword and the sword are raised at the same time, and the Yidi is eliminated; However, if the incident happens suddenly, it is important to deal with the urgency. Quickly pass on the order, and those who have been condemned since Wuwu, such as Prince Asahiko of Nakagawa Palace, should be released as soon as possible; Those who died unfatally, such as the Sakurada Gate, Sakashita Gate, and the Fushimi Teradaya Incident, should be buried with their souls, so that their descendants can be sacrificed. The late Nakan Nayan Tokugawa Saiaki, posthumously presented the Great Nayan. Mao Liding, the son of the Choshu Domain, was widely knowledgeable and talented, and he immediately went down to the east and passed on the sound on behalf of me.

At the end of August, Mori Dinghiro, the prince of the Choshu domain, and his entourage arrived in Edo and delivered another holy message.

Shimazu Hisamitsu, the lord of the Satsuma domain, sighed and said: I ordered to kill the ronin who fell behind the curtain, which is very disrespectful! The imperial court order changes every day, I don't know what it can do!

Okubori Passage: The head of the Qi family, my clan slashed and killed the ronin, and the public and military were one; Respect the ronin is afraid, and they all enter the Changzhou domain. The lord of the Choshu domain, Mori Kei himself, could not withstand the repeated provocations of Kido Takayoshi, Kusaka Genrui and others, and had returned to the old path of falling behind the scenes. Detective, the lord of the Choshu domain, Mao Li Jingqin, led his troops to Shangluo, and repeatedly slandered him, and the imperial court had this move.

Shimazu Hisamitsu said: The general of Zhengyi is young, and the imperial court has to make inches.

Okubo Passage: The head of the Qi family, beware of the Choshu Domain's dominance, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. The head of the family should speed his troops to Luoluo to stabilize the situation in Kyoto.

Shimazu Hisamitsu: Without further ado, I will immediately invite the general, that is, to join us in the DPRK to discuss the integration of public and military forces.

Shimazu Hisamitsu repeatedly attacked, and the shogun Tokugawa Ieshige was overwhelmed, and quickly summoned Yoshiki Hitotsubashi, Keinaga Matsudaira, Matsudaira Rongho and the elders to discuss.

Matsudaira Yoshinaga, president of political affairs, said: General Qiyu, recently, the feudal lords have not obeyed the orders of the general, but they have brought their own troops to Luo, and played directly in the imperial court; If there is a coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it will be regarded as a group of heroes. Please ask the general to enter the court quickly, meet our emperor, and explain the benefits; After that, all major national events will be decided by the general and the vassals first, and then they will be convincing and the country's prestige will be promoted!

The general saw Ichibashi and said happily: General Qiyu, although Lord Qingyong's words are reasonable; However, it is counterproductive to act in a hurry. I intend to immediately send troops to Shangluo, strangle the ronin, protect Kyoto, and hold the feudal domains hostage; Sweep away the shackles of the general's trip!

Tokugawa Iemo Road: The matter of Shangluo should be slow rather than urgent, and the imperial court should be evacuated immediately, and the post of guardian of Kyoto was added, and more than 1,000 troops were recruited, and the day of Shangluo was selected to protect Kyoto and Nijo Castle. Years later, Kyoto was peaceful, and the general led the daimyo to Shangluo to decide on internal and external matters.

Shimazu Hisamitsu got the confirmation and returned to Kyoto to resume his life. More than 600 people, all the way, traveled to Kanagawa Shengmai Village, met the four British people, galloped on horses, and had no intention of avoiding.

The envoy of the Satsuma Domain, Kizaemon Hara, and Shunsuke Arimura, the guard, angrily drew their swords and killed and injured three people.

Shimazu Hisamitsu sighed and said: Turning into a foreigner, Yu Zhige's soldiers, are still so domineering, and the situation is reckless and reckless! There is nothing wrong with killing people according to the rules, and I will face the saint and explain the reason in detail.

On September 25, Shimazu Hisamitsu arrived in Beijing to explain in detail the smooth progress of the announcement and vigorously explain the dangers of destroying the treaty.

Emperor Xiaomei was noncommittal, but said: Last year, the Mito people attacked Tozen Temple, killing and injuring the British soldiers; Kanto compensated 3,000 yuan. At this age, Song himself attacked Dongchan Temple again and killed two heroes; This matter is still in negotiations, and Qing Jinfu has taken the head of the person again, and the British are willing to give up? In today's situation, I will not be destroyed, and I will be destroyed.

Shimazu Hisamitsu was ashamed and retreated.

The old Komatsu of the Satsuma clan said with a knife: The head of the Satsuma clan, since August, the situation has changed abruptly, the lord of the Tosa domain, Yamauchi Toyonobu, and the lord of the Choshu domain, Maori Kekin, have all led troops into Luo, held the imperial court hostage, and suppressed the curtain; Iwakura Gushi, Chiju Youwen and other ministers of the Gongwu Combination faction were all expelled from the palace. According to the report, the imperial court has adopted the will of the Kanto shogunate and added the post of guardian of Kyoto; Soon, the daimyo will also arrive with his troops. The feudal clans are in conflict, Kyoto is turbulent, and the lord must make a decision as soon as possible.

Okubo Toshitsu also advised: The head of the family, the Satsuma Domain is the foundation of our foothold, there is a debtor who is wronged, and the change of Shengmai Village will be avenged; The defense of our domain cannot be planned by a person who is not the head of the family.

Shimazu Hisamitsu sighed and said: Prince Nakagawa Palace Asahitsu also means this! At this point, the only way to go!

The lord of the Satsuma domain retreated in panic, and the lord of the Choshu domain, Mori, was very happy, that is, together with the lord of the Tosa domain, Yamauchi Toyonobu, jointly signed the emperor of Shu Xiaomei, and then sent an envoy to urge the Kanto shogunate to conquer it.
