Chapter 187: The Meiji Restoration of the Wa Kingdom (18)
Aizu Domain's ronin Sasaki only Saburo, Mito Domain's ronin Serizawa duck, Musashi Kuni's ronin Isamu Kondo, Hijikata Suizo and others refused to obey the order, and more than 20 people were stranded in Kyoto and swore to die.
Matsudaira Rongbao retracted it, reorganized the Mibu Ronin group, and said: Righteousness, bravery, courtesy, benevolence, sincerity, samurai, necessary! Qinghe Hachiro is duplicitous and disappointing; Quickly pass on my order, Sasaki Saburo quickly return to Edo, check the words and deeds of Qinghe, if he is evil, he will be punished immediately!
Hitotsubashi rejoiced: "News from Edo, the shogun is coming soon, in order to prevent the fall of the curtain ronin from doing evil, we must sit on the armor and be ready for battle.
On March 3, 1863, the shogun, Tokugawa Ieshige, arrived at Nijo Castle in Kyoto, and the feudal lords visited him. After the Guest of Honor, Tokugawa Iemochi said: National events depend on the support of all of you.
Tokugawa Ieshige said nothing, bent his knees, and poured the wine one by one.
When the shogun saw his post Ichibashi Keiki, he hurriedly stopped and said: General Zhengyi poured wine for the foreign daimyo, which is unprecedented, so please be cautious.
Tokugawa Ieshige said helplessly: The imperial court urged to discuss state affairs, and it was forced to do so.
Shimazu Hisamitsu, the head of the Satsuma domain, said with a smile: The general personally holds the wine cup, and the corporal is courteous, and he is indeed approachable. However, this move has also caused the Tokugawa Shogun's majesty to be discredited.
Tokugawa Ishige said angrily: Lord Hisamitsu has vainly punished the people in Shengmai Village, and has swept away the majesty of our country!
Shimazu Hisamitsumichi: General Kaiyu, in accordance with the provisions of the "Official Party Protocol", those who collide with the honor guard of the daimyo will be killed! This was promulgated by the former shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune!
Tokugawa Ieshige was furious, but he was speechless, so he had to brush his sleeves away.
Shimazu Hisamitsu laughed again, and said: After the main meal of Nagano, a minister of the Hikone Domain, the minister of the Thousand Kinds of Bun Family, Kagawa Zhao, was divided by the ronin again, and his head has entered the bag of Lord Keiki, is Lord Keiki afraid?
Hitotsubashi Keiki held a sword in his hand, and he was also furious.
Shimazu Hisamitsu laughed again, and replied: The general is now in Luo, and the ronin will cut down the statue of Ashikaga Zun again, this is the power of dismounting, but the general can only pour wine to eliminate his sorrows, but he can't be as intimidated as Lord Kei!
Ichibashi celebrated the unsheath of the sword, and said angrily: I will kill the ronin who is not doing evil!
Tokugawa Keitsu, the lord of the Mito domain, and Tokugawa Keikatsu, the lord of the Owari domain, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said good words to comfort them.
Shimazu Hisamitsu is also pushing the boat along the river, saying: As the saying goes, the adult tiger changes, the gentleman leopard changes, and the villain is leather; Lord Qingxi is proud and uninhibited, and we sit and watch Lord Qingxi change.
Ichibashi Qingxi put the sword into the sheath, if there is an enlightenment: Shimazu people know astronomy, geography, and personnel, and they are really talented people who support the way of heaven.
Shimazu Hisamitsu said: Keiki-sama has a good reputation, and the adults don't know it, and the whole of Kyoto is saying that it is closed, and His Majesty has repeatedly urged it, but so far, the shogun has not ordered the closure of the port of Yokohama, in fact, ......
Hitotsubashi Keiki continued: In fact, the matter of retreat needs to be decided by the Shogun and the lords of the feudal domain, and then I ask His Majesty the Emperor for permission.
Shimazu Hisamitsu: Actually, the general doesn't need to discuss it anymore, I heard it last night, and it doesn't matter anymore!
Hitotsubashi rejoiced: Your Majesty has not issued an edict, who dares to speak wildly!
Shimazu Hisamitsu said: Lord Keiki is lonely and unheard, and the imperial court judges the situation and does not want to retreat! This is what Nakagawa Palace said.
Hitotsubashi Keiki Masase: May I ask Shimazu-sama, there is indeed such a thing under the Nakagawa Palace!
Shimazu Hisamitsu was thoughtful, and suddenly chattered again, noncommittal.
Hitotsubashi Qing said angrily: This matter is not trivial, we will go and ask for clarification.
When Ichibashi Keiki and his entourage arrived at the Nakagawa Palace Mansion, Prince Nakagawa Palace Asahhiko was drinking by himself, and he was also chattering in the face of interrogation.
Ichibashi Qing threw the sword on the ground in anger and said: Such a big thing, An dares to believe it! Blindly deceiving, where is the prestige of the court? How can the decree be smooth? The day when the decree is not passed, when the vassals go their own way, when the vassals go their own way, when the country is ruined. At that time, we will have to disembowelment to atone for our sins.
Ichitsubashi celebrated the trouble of Nakagawa Palace, and the shogun Tokugawa Ieshige was very worried, and bowed down to persuade him: Nakagawa Palace and Satsuma Domain are united in public and military affairs, and they are all our dependence! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and you must not be rash.
Hitotsubashi rejoiced: The ronin has the ambition, and the gentleman disappears. When the Tokugawa family occupied the sky, they could have fought hard!
Tokugawa Ishima: Internal and external troubles, superimposed, how to deal with it, I have my own measure. Ronin disaster in Kyoto, is the Mibu Ronin Group a decoration? What does Lord Rongbao mean?
Matsudaira Rongbao hurriedly said: General Qiyu, more than ten ronins of the Ashikaga Zun statue, his subordinates have been arrested, and they will be sentenced to prison.
Tokugawa Iemochi said: There is a debtor who is wronged, and the timing is right, and it is all together.
On the same day, Tokugawa Ieshige, together with Matsudaira Yoshinaga, president of political affairs, and the shogun, Hitotsubashi Keitoshi entered the Luomen Saint, and after the ceremony, they presented 10,000 pieces of gold, 1,000 pieces of silver, an incense burner, a screen of barriers, and countless brocade cotton.
Emperor Xiaoming had mixed feelings, and said with emotion: For more than ten years, they have been raising their hearts and gathering lawsuits, and I am also hesitating, Mao Qing thinks, what should this matter do?
Tokugawa Iemo: Your Majesty, the Yidi ship is strong and the artillery is sharp, and the battle will be defeated. It is an expedient measure for our country to make a treaty with Yi; With time, the weapons are strong and the artillery is strong, and the soldiers are strong and brave, and the war can be ruined.
Filial piety to the emperor: Mao Qing didn't know, the Changzhou domain said that the Qing Dynasty had been founded, and the land of Shanghai, the merchant ships of Yi fought for the crossing, the merchant halls of Yi were lined up one after another, and the soldiers of Yi were shoulder to shoulder, and the Qing Dynasty was already a British dependent country! The fire at the city gate affected our state, Mao Qing and the great names must not watch the fire from the other side, and plan all the best measures to ensure that our country will not be robbed!
Ichibashi rejoiced and said: Your Majesty, if the name is not right, it will not go well, and if it is not good, it will not be done, and the founding of the country or the destruction of the country are all related to the rise and fall of the country.
Filial piety to the emperor: What is the difficulty of this, and to appoint Mao Qing with the old, Mao Qing must work hard.
Tokugawa Iemodao: Thank you Your Majesty Longen, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the husband wants to fight the outside, he must first settle the inside, the country and the people will be safe, and the people will be subdued. I beg Your Majesty to issue an edict immediately to eradicate all the gangsters and ronins who caused trouble in Kyoto.
Filial piety to the emperor: Since the big government has been entrusted to Maoqing, Maoqing can act cheaply.
Tokugawa Ieshige bowed and retreated, and as soon as he arrived at Nijo Castle, he ordered the Mibu Ronin Group to sharpen his mustache and hunt down all those who caused trouble in Kyoto.
The shogunate slaughtered on a large scale, and Kyoto was bloody. The young lord of the Choshu domain, Mao Li Dingguang, was very worried, and immediately went up and said: The Yidi warship is on the verge of Edo, and the matter is urgent, and I implore His Majesty the Emperor to hold a ceremony of good fortune to start the end of the expedition.
There were seven ministers such as Prince Chihito of Sugawa Palace, Minoru Sanjo of Masakincho, and Tadano Nakayama of the council.
Prince Chiren of the Arisugawa Palace said: Your Majesty, Your Majesty will hold a ceremony of luck, and my dynasty has never done anything before. At that time, Guan Baiying Si Fuxi will be below, and the public secretary will be subordinate; Jiamao led the princes, before and after the guard, and the halogen was extremely prosperous.
Filial piety to the emperor: In this case, I gave the general a sword on the occasion of the fortunate Bapan Palace, as a sign of the conquest.
