Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 32
In this way, that is, from a real feudal lord, to a local emperor in a certain sense. It’s a little uncomfortable to lose the power to take over the lives of millions of people.
“Could it be that my father can still hinder the soldiers in the domain from serving the shogunate?”
Shimadzu has actually considered this issue a long time ago when he defines himself. The shogunate is now using a conspiracy, which is to place the warriors of the various domains with higher salaries. After the announcement of this policy, the feudal lords of the feudal lords actually have no qualifications to make decisions.
For at most ten years, the little warriors of the Shimadzu family will be placed out by the shogunate in one way or another, and they will become samurai subsidized by the shogunate.
Of course there are samurai who are loyal and always support the Shimadzu family. But if more warriors choose between life and loyalty, will they choose life or loyalty?
Instead of ten years later, the samurai were all drawn away by the shogunate, and then cut down by the shogunate without any resistance, it is better to sell yourself for a good price while you can still sell two dollars.
What is a good price?
That is of course the future Prime Minister!
In this world, it is only said that merit is greater than saving a car. If the Shimadzu family first advocated the abolition of the domain and the establishment of a county, then what is the difference between this credit and the rescue? I am anxious about what Chuemon is worried about, and what Chuemon is thinking about.
When Chuemon recreates the country and establishes the kingdom of Japan, this proposal of the Shimadzu family alone will be enough for two generations of wealth. After all, this belongs to the founding prime minister, Yi Dai Sucheng’s great contribution.
Put it on the next continent, it is going to be a king with a different surname. Even if he wasn’t a different surnamed king, he had to be a founding prince, and he was a hereditary one.
“I can’t stop it…” Shimadzu Tadashi listened to his son’s explanation, knowing that the development of the matter had reached this stage, and he could not resist.
Since you can’t resist, you can only enjoy it.
“When the time comes, there is a great conferring hero. My father and I may be able to have one family and two dukes, and then show it for another two hundred years.” Shimadzu has defined painting cakes.
He is the consort of the Tokugawa shogunate himself, and he is also the old middle school of the shogunate. After the founding of the country, a duke is absolutely indispensable. Coupled with the credit of the father and son for the initiative to cut down the vassal, it is not impossible for two dukes.
It’s up to people, if you don’t do it, of course there will be nothing. As long as you do it, there is a chance of success.
“Okay!” Shimadzu Tadashi agreed.
On the other side, Komatsu with a knife nodded slightly. One day Shimadzu defined that if he became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he would probably rise to the top and hold an important position in Japan.
It’s not that he wants the Shimadzu family to be cut down, but he also understands that the shogunate’s attitude to cut the clan is so firm. Since the Shimadzu family chose to advance and retreat with the shogunate instead of fighting against the shogunate, taking the initiative to be cut was the best choice.
Based on this, if you can find a good position for yourself and assist Shimadzu’s definition, why not.
“This matter is still to be discussed later. Is there any way for the lord to deal with the matter in Kyoto?” Komatsu said with a knife that we can think of ways to be heroes in the future, but the current situation has to be handled well.
“Well, there is no solution yet, what can you teach me?” Shimadzu shook his head.
Because he is not sure what Chuemon is doing, why? In the end, do you want to force all the rebels to jump out through a tough attitude? Or use this to observe the reality of Kyoto and force Kyoto to bow its head in a peaceful way? Or did he think otherwise and was ready?
“I don’t know if you can release the **** to the government by borrowing six million from Britain and France?”
“Theoretically speaking, it should be coming, and Marquis Rich has returned from Yokohama, but I have never seen this money.” Shimadzu’s definition secretly guessed.
“I heard that Britain and France have begun to expand the world. According to Yichen, I am afraid that the loan has arrived, but it is just hidden by the general.” Komatsu guessed correctly with a knife.
“Kamizu hides the loan, why is it?” According to Shimadzu’s definition, there is probably no place for Chuemon to spend a lot of money.
“Maybe it’s military affairs…”
Komatsu took a knife and dipped in the light defined by Shimadzu, and read the full text of the loan contract. I know that on the surface, the six million is the money for the development of industry and railways, but now the Kyushu, Aozhou and Hokuriku Railways are all under preparation, and the time has not yet come to spend the money. In terms of industry, the shogunate has long established a special fund for the development of Ezo and Kata.
The three major shareholders of the shogunate are constantly increasing their investment in the Mainland, and the various factories and mines they have invested in and set up are already quite large. The shogunate is now investing in the construction of factories, and there are neither management talents nor technical backbones.
Therefore, Komatsu with a knife suspects that the shogunate is going to charge the money as military expenses, and is ready to fight!
This is also the reason why Chuemon collected the money and did not attribute it to the Shogunate Kinzo. Because this money Zhongemon may not think about using it for development, but is preparing to buy more guns and ammunition, warships and steamships, and reward the soldiers.
“Military expenses!” Shimadzu’s definition was reminded like this, and it seemed possible.
“Who are you fighting? It’s not like the people from Changzhou!” Shimadzu Tadashi looked suspicious.
The grievances between the Shimadzu family and the Maori family will not be repeated. Anyway, they are both high-ranking lords among the foreign princes, but Shimadzu and Maori are quite disliked. In the historical change of forbidden gates, the Shimadzu family even went into battle to suppress the Maori family’s army. In the first Changzhou expedition, the Shimadzu family also sent troops to participate in the war.
“It’s very likely…” Komatsu with a knife also thought that it was very likely to be the Changzhou clan who used to dance very happily.
“I’m afraid not necessarily.” Shimadzu felt that Chuemon didn’t seem to be very hostile to the Choshu domain, because he even agreed to the Changshu domain to move the domain hall before.
If you really hate the Changzhou clan, you should normally refuse this request. UU reading www.uukanshu.com guarantees that the shogunate’s giant ships and cannons can hit Hagi Castle upside down at any time.
“Which one would that be?” Shimadzu Tadashi thought silently in his heart.
The Saga Nabeshima family will soon have a princess, and the Sendai Date family has reserved the position of the prince, and of course the Shimadzu family cannot.
The Tosa Yamauchi family in Shikoku, the Yamanakado still respects the shogunate very much. However, in those days, there were rebels from the Tosa King’s Party in the domain, and they killed a lot of people, which was disgusted by the shogunate.
Who else is there? Datejong Castle? Maeda Qitai? Kuroda Qipu? Hosokawa Keishun? I heard that the shogunate wanted to send Kanosuke to Asano’s house in Hiroshima, but they didn’t make the trip. Could it be this house?
The three people guessed and guessed, and it seemed that the possibility was not too big. Mito Domain, the most popular dancer, has been cut by Ii Naobi painlessly, and now he is half-dead.
“Could it be that the thief the shogunate is seeking is in the shogunate?” Komatsu took a knife and said an answer that he himself did not believe.
