Chapter 187: The Meiji Restoration of the Wa Kingdom (19)

When the shogun saw the post of Ichibashi Yoshiki, he saw the clue, and said to the shogun, Tokugawa Iemoge: If the shogun is not punished by the sword, the person who respects him will be attacked for the crime of violating the law.

Tokugawa Ieshige: It's tricky.

Hitotsubashi rejoiced: The general can not get sick, and everything will be handled by his subordinates.

President of Political Affairs Matsudaira Keikito: General Kaiyu, the warship is the director of the Katsu Haizhou, and the acting minister of Yingyi, John. Neil went to Edo yesterday to demand severe punishment for the perpetrators of the accident in Shengmai Village and a pension of 100,000 pounds.

Tokugawa Iemomichi: If everything is not prepared, why engage in war! There is Lord Lao Qingyong, who will return to Edo as soon as possible to appease; If the officials are courteous and courteous, the compensation for the attack on the Dongchan Temple will also be paid on their behalf.

Kyoto Guardian Matsudaira Yohodo: Shogun Kaiyu, the Mibu Ronin Group seized and burned the Eiyi Legation last year, it was the Choshu Domain Ronin Kusaka Genrui, Takasugi Shinsaku, Ito Hirobumi, Inoue Shin, Yamagumi Aritomo, etc.

Hitotsubashi rejoiced and said: General Qiyu, heroic and vigorous, and those who are not punished cannot extinguish this disaster.

Tokugawa Iemomichi: The Choshu ronin was sheltered by the young lord of the Choshu domain, and this matter was also very difficult. Last year, those who killed the non-commissioned officers of the country of Yi, the people of the Shimazu Domain, immediately reported that the British soldiers were in Edo, and they repeatedly begged to severely punish the murderers, otherwise the war would start, and the Satsuma Domain must not regret it.

Shimazu Hisamitsu, the head of the Satsuma Domain, received the notice and said: The general of Zhengyi is indecisive and seeks skin with the tiger!

Okuboli Passage of the Imperial Small Nato: Enlighten the head of the family, and the Yiren collide with the honor guard of the head of the family, and the song is in the other! Obeying, losing power and humiliating the country, the head of the family gave an order, and we fought to the death with Chouyi.

The old Komatsu of the Satsuma clan seconded the proposal with a knife, and said: The head of the family, Saigo Takamori is especially good at military aircraft, please ask the head of the family to release him.

Okubo Ritsu seconded.

Shimazu Hisamitsu said: Saigo Takamori is stubborn, and without him, I can also defend myself outside the country.

On that day, Shimazu Hisamitsu said: The minister stated his contempt several times and planned current affairs, but there were different opinions and slanderous rumors. If the minister stays behind, he is afraid of resurrecting the dispute of the matchmaker. I beg His Majesty the Emperor to grant us a few months of leisure and allow us to return to the country to prepare for the repetition.

Shimazu Hishimitsu played, and without waiting for the imperial court's approval, he led the people of his own domain and returned to China.

Emperor Xiaomei sighed and said: There is no need for this in the Satsuma Domain, when Maoqing takes over the sword and agrees on a time limit, then the whole country will work together to resist foreign humiliation, wouldn't it be happy.

On May 2, 1863, Emperor Komei visited Nanshan, and the shogun said that he could not afford to be ill.

Hitotsubashi was relieved of his authority, and Orr took the opportunity to leave.

The young lord of the Choshu Domain was not angry, and said angrily: The bridge celebrates, and the lazy man is also insufficient!

Zhengqin Town Sanjo Shimei Road: Your Majesty, Kanto will not act, if Your Majesty drives the expedition, it will grow the morale of the countrymen.

Prince Chihito of Sugawa Palace seconded the proposal.

Emperor Xiaoming was also angry, and said: The general retreated when he saw his post, which is really unreasonable! Recently, the temperature has plummeted, and it is common for the Kwantung generals to be young and frail, and occasionally contracted the wind and cold. And when the general recovers, it's not too late to discuss it.

Three practical and beautiful roads: Your Majesty, the destruction is imminent, the Kwantung general is ill, the lord of the Satsuma domain is gone, and the defense of Kyoto Castle is in jeopardy.

Filial piety to the emperor: Accurate! This matter was planned by Meiqing. Quickly pass on the order, and after that, all the soldiers of the Beijing domain will be controlled by Meiqing. The U.S. secretary must judge the situation and quickly form a personal guard to guard his majesty.

After the shogun, Hitotsubashi was happy to hear the news, and quickly accompanied the Kyoto guardian Matsudaira Rongho to meet the shogun.

Ichitsubashi rejoiced: General Qiyu, there are rules in the "Forbidden and Public Laws", and the Imperial Court Secretary Sanjo Minami does not have the right to take charge of the army, and the general must refuse to do so.

Tokugawa Iemochi Road: The wood is already in the boat, and there is nothing to do!

Hitotsubashi rejoiced: Quickly set the time limit, the general is in power, and no one dares to make a mistake!

The three of them discussed all night, and the day was clear, and on May 10 of the third year of Wenjiu, they were immediately defeated.

Emperor Xiaomei was overjoyed, and immediately sent an edict to the feudal clans, and the soldiers sent to Beijing on the same day and entered Osaka Castle.

The next day, Tokugawa Ishige played again: Your Majesty, the heroic soldiers are coming to Edo, the news is weaving, and the situation is urgent. The ministers had to return to Edo and command the army.

Tokugawa Yoshikatsu, the lord of the Owari Domain, said: Your Majesty, the ministers think that once the war starts, Kyoto is a fundamental and important place, and the general does not need to return, and he will stay in Kyoto, and the monarch and ministers will work together to do anything.

Emperor Xiaomei: In this case, Mao Qing should command the feudal domains in Kyoto. Mao Qing thinks that the great names of the relatives and vassals, who can plan the military aircraft in battle?

Tokugawa Iemomichi: Your Majesty, the lord of the Mito domain, Tokugawa Keito, is brave and promising, and can be entrusted with a great responsibility.

Emperor Komei: Passing on the decree, Tokugawa Keito, the lord of the Mito domain, was the general of the Expedition to Yi, and joined hands with Maoqing to discuss the matter of the seizure.

Tokugawa Keito received the order, did not dare to delay, and quickly went to Nijo Castle to receive the order.

Tokugawa Ieshige, the shogun, said: Don't be in a hurry, don't worry, and wait for Lord Keiki to return to Edo, negotiate compensation with Yingyi, and see if it is successful, and then talk about it.

Kyoto Guardian Matsudaira Yohomichi: General Kaiyu, now that the raid is imminent, do you still want to check the Choshu ronin who burned the Eiyi Legation, such as Genrui Kusaka, Shinsaku Takasugi, and Hirobumi Ito?

Tokugawa Ishige Road: Don't talk about other things, burning, killing, looting, and disrupting the order of Kyoto, and severely punish them! In addition to investigating the ronin involved, Lord Rongbao must closely monitor the movements of the young lord of the Choshu Domain, Minoru Sanjo, and Prince Chihito of Arisugawanomiya.

The Kanto shogunate was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and the people of the Choshu clan were full of grief and indignation.

The young lord of the Choshu domain, Mao Li Dinghiro: The Kwantung general's attack is fake, and it is true that he killed the people of lofty ideals and pleased the people. Last year, the Yingyi embassy was burned, and everyone in the world knew that the werewolves were tense, and if we did nothing more, we would be completely wiped out.

Kyoto Domain's Imperial Hanging Kusaka Genrui Road: Enlighten the young master, dare to be the first in the world, although the death is still glorious, my domain raised his arms and shouted, and he was alone.

The government seat added the servant Kido Xiaoyun said: Qi Yu young master, my domain fought the Zhuyi alone, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, the people are strong, the war starts, the dead are countless, although there are no dead, it is not enough to report to the country; But there is no living being, and it is not enough to plan for the future. For the future, before the war, Takasugi, Ito Erjun, Inoue Shin, Inoue Katsu, Endo Jinsuke, Yamao Yongzo, etc., must cross the ocean and learn from Yi's long skills. I beg your permission.

Maori Dingguangdao; For the future, do anything!

The royal hanging of the academy Gao Sugi Jin said: Qi Yu young master, last year, subordinate to the Qing Dynasty, I have seen and heard a lot. In the battle with Yi, the Qing State was defeated because it had neither a strong ship that could cross thousands of miles of waves, nor a huge cannon with a range of more than ten miles. So it is with our country! The big war is imminent, and the subordinates must come to the battle formation in person to check and fill in the gaps. The matter of crossing the ocean is also annoying to the Ito princes.

Jiusaka Xuanrui said: Young Master Qiyu, before, when the edict was not issued, thirty or fifty of us worked together to kill traitors and raze people, which was really a helpless move, and now that the edict of our emperor has been issued, we don't need to worry about it anymore; The intention of the subordinates is to return to Changzhou as soon as possible, and to fight the time limit of the razor, that is, to raise the power of the whole domain to kill and repay the country.

Maori Dingguangdao: There is a huge amount of work, and there is a lot of work; I immediately went to the imperial court and told the Kanto region that at 0:00 on May 10, the Maguan Strait was blockaded and the ships were bombarded.
