Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 43

The “disrespectful” attitude of the shogunate and the behavior of Chuemon’s refusal to ascend to the temple to worship even when he came to the capital made Emperor Xiaomei quite annoyed.

At this time, Chuemon continued to provoke the Sovereign Sect. Tokugawa Kebao sent a letter to Emperor Xiaoming, and the shogunate officially decided to expel the barbarians, but this expel the barbarians, not the other.

Those short-sighted respecters advocated the rejection of the barbarians, which is the so-called “rejection of barbarians today.” But in that case, wars will be fought, and people will be killed. Every Japanese is a citizen of the kingdom of God, and those who are the sovereign must be benevolent and love the people. Could it be that you also want them to be cannoned and shot to death? Become a puddle of rotten meat?

The shogunate is different, the shogunate is now preparing to “break the contract and expel the foreigners”. What is “Breaking the Covenant and Provoking Foreigners”? That is the situation through diplomatic negotiations, allowing Yingmi to abolish the unequal treaty signed with Japan, and then give up all kinds of aggression interests in Japan. Restore Japan’s own sovereignty and become an independent country.

At that time, I can also close the door of the country and prevent Yingmi from entering Japan. Or only allow them to trade and communicate on Dejima in Nagasaki.

Isn’t it great?

Such remarks, what does it mean when I hear Matsudaira Qingyong and Maori’s relatives? That was obviously because Chuyouemon saw that the King’s army in Kyoto was getting stronger and stronger, and he only had 5,000 people from Fushimi in his hands, and the third Sendai division had not arrived yet. Use such rumors to buy time to ensure that the Third Sendai Division can arrive.

However, Emperor Xiaoming was always reluctant to issue a “king’s government retrospective order”, and was also reluctant to actually declare the Tokugawa shogunate as an “enemy of the dynasty”. This has caused the King’s Army to fall into some kind of passivity for a while. If he attacks Fushimi-cho, it will be a de facto crime and a rebellion.

They are all vassals of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the texts of the oaths are well preserved. Everyone knows that they present a great sword to Chuyouemon at the beginning of each year and greet them with greetings.

How to do?

Matsudaira Keiyong was reluctant to make such a head, so he attacked Fushimi-cho. However, he said something nice before. As a retainer of Tokugawa, he called the princes and responded to the imperial decree of Emperor Xiaoming to hold a national meeting of princes in Shangluo. For a while, it was really a bit of a dilemma.

But watching Chuemon procrastinating and summoning the third Sendai division to come here is definitely not what they want to see. Once the Sendai Division’s 8,000 men arrived, they would have no advantage over the Shogunate.

So he ran to incite Maori to respect the relatives, hoping that Maori would go and shoot the first shot.

Is Maori Jingqin an idiot? Of course not!

Why did he agree to hold Songping Qingyong as the general convener of the National Princes Conference? It’s not that the sky is falling and Songping Qingyong is in front of him. If you want to kill the first one, you will kill Songping Qingyong.

And according to normal cognition, do you feel angry when outsiders oppose you, or do relatives in your family oppose you and get up and make you feel angry?

There is no one who is completely stupid these days. Maori Jingqin is very clear that as long as this matter is the head of Songping Qingyong, if things don’t happen in the future, the shogunate will definitely kill Songping Qingyong first. Who is Songping Keiyong? It is the Echizen Songping clan, the first of the Songping clan.

Both sides shirk the blame, but they both know that delays may lead to accidents, so they go together to remind the emperor of filial piety.

In these short two or three days, the troops of the Fukuoka domain and Satsuma domain also arrived in Kyoto successively, especially the Satsuma domain. They purchased a lot of French cannons with strong firepower. And looking at the appearance of Wudaiyouhou, he is generous and lively, and he came from “off the feudal lord”, and he can only go to the dark one way.

The strength of the army has become stronger and stronger, which has inspired the Zunwang faction and the Emperor Xiaoming.

Being urged every day, he was actually shaken. After all, he is not a strong-willed person, and the shogunate forced him to give up the country quickly, and he was really anxious and angry in his heart. Seeing that the princes who already had hundreds of thousands of troops came to King Qin, he was still relieved.

I have issued an imperial edict that I must invite the sage of Chuemon Kameiro!

As for what method to use to get Chuyouemon to Luo, he did not say, and no one asked. He didn’t say whether it was intentional or not. If there is no problem with others, it must be intentional.

The people of the Zunwang faction who received the imperial decree were very excited for a while. Previously, Emperor Xiaoming decreed that Zhongyouweimen should go to Luo. He said it very implicitly and tactfully, and there was also a reason.

This time, there is nothing next to the imperial decree, just one sentence, you kid, come to see me in the ban center!

The imperial decree was sent to Fushimi-cho by Pegasus, and asked Chuemon to stand up immediately and go to Luomen-kun.

“What do you guys think?” Chuyouemon smiled and looked at the ministers under the so-called imperial decree.

“I only know that there is Shangqi, but I don’t know anything else!” Before the others said anything, Jiang Chuan Yingmin suddenly stood up, strode forward, walked in front of Chungemon, and said loudly.

Good guy, look left and right, you guys are quite good at picking time.

“Taro Zuemon has been loyal to the king for many generations, and everyone else knows it.” Zhongyouemon naturally benefited from hearing this.

At that time, Chuyouemon and Egawa Yingryu had an irresistible relationship and became confidants. It is a pity that he was hit by a sniper of the US military and died in Futtsu. Jiang Chuan Yingmin in front of him, as his son, was promoted all the way to the position pursued by the old middle school and the navy. Who does not support Chuemon?

“I’m afraid they will use their military might.” Shimadzu Tadashi looked at the imperial decree, but he wasn’t very anxious, after all, he had already arranged an assassin.

When he wanted to come, UU read www. uukanshu.com Even if war is really about to take place, the 5,000 people on Chuemon’s side will face it. One thousand two hundred people on his side, directly inserted into the battlefield, should be able to penetrate the King Zun army directly.

Even if there are tens of thousands of people in the king’s army, so what? It’s not a family, it’s a group of several big names that make do with one another. You want to say that they are sincere to each other, without gaps, does anyone believe it?

At that time, the Shimadzu family will be the real winner!

“How should the minister reply to the envoy of the capital?” Zhu Liu doesn’t need to show any loyalty. His loyalty is unquestionable.

Why don’t you just ask how you should reply? Is it appropriate to refuse directly? Will it immediately attract the king’s army to launch a full-scale attack on Fushimi Town? Is it even possible that Emperor Xiaoming became angry because of the refusal of Chuemon’s side, and then directly declared Chuemon as “the enemy of the dynasty”?

“Rejection is! If they want to fight, why not fight!”
