Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 57

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a thing called Chuan Shou Jiu Bian. If you leave it to Japan, it will just spread the word about Edo. Matsudaira Keiyong was beheaded in Kyoto. After three days of public display, his head was put in a cage and passed on to Nihonbashi.

​​

​​

​​

If nothing else, his head will be passed on in Nihonbashi for at least three or five years, until it is dried. Thinking about it, there should be no one who would risk the world and rush to steal his head.

​​

​​

​​

Kamei Tsuken, who was just cut off, did not escape this fate. He first passed on Tsuwano, and then inserted it back to the bridge head of Nihonbashi to set an example.

​​

​​

​​

It is their kind of big name who are eligible to be inserted into Nihonbashi, and the rest, including Hashimoto Zuo, were directly cremated after being shown in Kyoto, and their bones were smashed to ashes.

​​

​​

​​

The first offender also had Date Zongcheng. He personally led troops to Luo, but he did not personally lead troops to battle. I don’t know if it’s true that I don’t know how to fight at all. I’m afraid that I’ll destroy the team, so I’ll hand it over to my subordinates, or something. In short, he did not appear on the Fushimi battlefield, and it has been regarded as an excuse to this day.

​​

​​

​​

I’m all wrapped up by my subordinate Zun Wang stupid embryo, really!

​​

​​

​​

I didn’t see Kuroda Qipu released. The Chikuzen Fukuoka Domain relied on Kitaoka Yuhei anyway, and directly drew it from the first batch of liquidation list. How to deal with it later, there is room for change in size.

​​

​​

​​

Uwajima fan is not to think that he can keep it, and no one dares to object to the decision to reform. When it came to Date Qingbang, maybe it was because of the entrustment, maybe it was for the sake of the family, and he and Chuyouemon were in-laws with their children, so he sent a person to Kyoto to ask Chunyuemon for mercy.

​​

​​

​​

Face is something that is used less once, and the favor is even more to be repaid. Chuemon thought for a while, and he might use this face in the future, so he agreed to Date Keibang’s request. Sentenced Date Zongcheng to become a monk with ornaments, and handed it over to Sendai Domain to take care of him.

​​

​​

​​

The Fukui domain abolished the domain, respected the king and changed the domain, the emperor Xiaoming abdicated, and everything was over. Chuemon ordered the 2nd Osaka Division to temporarily station 3,000 people in Beijing, and then took the rest of the troops and returned to Edo.

​​

​​

​​

When Chuemon’s train entered Edo, not to mention the remaining 200 princes, they all rushed to the platform of Nihonbashi Railway Station, lined up in order from the beginning to the end, to greet Chuemon. Door.

​​

​​

​​

Each of them persuaded the ruler to follow the king’s way, and the king was invincible. In fact, I am afraid that it has to be conquered by domineering before they can practice the so-called kingly way.

​​

​​

​​

However, it is true that at this time, Zhongyouemon must be benevolent and fair, and laugh at Yan Yan with them. After all, the heads of Matsudaira Keiyong and Kamei Izkan are hanging on the bridge in Japan not far away, and the intimidation is enough.

​​

​​

​​

In fact, many princes who were secretly collaborating with the Zunwang faction, or who had a good personal relationship with Songping Qingyong, felt a lot in their hearts.

​​

​​

​​

At least looking at the situation in front of you, Chuemon should not have any big companies!

​​

​​

​​

Hehe, they also have this vision. Chuemon is not going to start any big company, but Chuemon wants to cut down the clan, completely cut down the clan, let me come to Edo and make rice bugs, you guys.

​​

​​

​​

Zhu Sheng’s banquet is definitely to be held, not only to be held, but also to be held in a grand manner, so that the remaining princes can see the power of the shogunate today. There are both soldiers and wealth, no matter who jumps, I have the ability to press down.

​​

​​

​​

What’s next?

​​

​​

​​

Of course it is to cut the clan!

​​

​​

Yoshida Shoin has been seconded to Chuemon’s side at this time, serving as a valet attache, in fact participating in the big and small secrets. And Kurokawa Ketoku, who took some credit in the Fushimi War, was changed to the dean of the Naval Academy. The affairs of the military academy must be mastered by their cronies.

​​

​​

​​

The Provost of Edo University is Yukichi Fukuzawa, a retainer of the Yuancong of Chuemon, in one sense. Principal, I can’t do it for the time being, I don’t have time to do it, but I have to fully grasp the teaching situation.

​​

​​

​​

Going back to Yoshida Songyin, according to his plan, all the princes have now been scared to death by the dead head of Songping Keiyong. The military might and power of the shogunate had been revealed in front of them. Coupled with the abdication of Emperor Xiaoming, there is no problem of one country and two monarchs.

​​

​​

​​

Then the ass-wiping paper that has been used very easily in the past two months can be taken out and used again. He secretly ordered Maori to write the book, and he himself “actively” opened his mouth and said that he respectfully asked the general to withdraw from the clan, and the decree was unified. The world is mixed up.

​​

​​

​​

How good, let him have an old life, isn’t it just to do these things.

​​

​​

​​

Moreover, with the great credit for first advocating the withdrawal of the feudal feudal lords, it would be even more natural for Maori to be named Grand Duke in the future. After all, the Changzhou domain only has more than 300,000 stone, and if it is based on the historical standards, it is only a marquis. Only those who have done a lot of credit, or have a very broad territory, can be canonized as dukes.

​​

​​

​​

In addition to Maori’s respect for his relatives, Yoshida Shoin has further plans. Mouri Yuantoku, who reappeared, naturally rolled back to Edo in a daze. His father was taken as a hostage, and the Changzhou domain was controlled by the “Panasonic faction” of Yoshida Songyin. There was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, so he couldn’t cross the sea to the United States, right?

​​

​​

​​

So he came back and confessed to Yoshida Shoin about the bad things at both ends of the Asano family head in Hiroshima. Because the Asano family owed a huge debt of three million taels of gold, again and again, they cut the salaries of the vassals to pay the interest.

​​

​​

​​

Under such circumstances, the samurai in the domain were naturally excited one by one. Then some people believed in the venerable king, mainly thinking that if the current government was overthrown, then I would not only be able to make a fortune, but also be able to hold power, that’s all.

​​

​​

​​

It is precisely because of this that the fire broke out at the Yoshida Domain’s mansion that night, and the Asano family wanted to help Mouri Motoku run away.

​​

​​

​​

Similar to I don’t support you publicly, but I will give you a hand when you are in danger. If you succeed in the future, I will add the icing on the cake. If you lose, I will push a few scapegoats, such as the middle and lower samurai of Yoshida Domain, and let them pay for their lives.

​​

​​

​​

Tsuna Asano has a good plan!

​​

​​

​​

It’s a pity that no matter how good the abacus is, it can’t beat the general trend. Not only did the Maori family fail, but they also became the No. 1 loyal minister of the shogunate, and directly gave him all the bad things.

​​

​​

​​

According to Yoshida Shoin’s idea, he sent someone to imply that Asano, a great name of 426,000 stones, followed Mouri Jing personally to write a letter to withdraw from the feudal feudal lord, forming a momentum of public opinion. Then in the future, I can still be a marquis, let’s not blame it.

​​

​​

​​

If you die in the end, then I’m sorry, I will expose you directly, and change Yi to cut down the vassal!

​​

​​

​​

And now the Fukuoka Domain is also one of those who have a handle on the shogunate. Although there is Kitaoka Yuhei anyway, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot escape. When the public opinion is not enough, you can use the duke to lure him and force Kuroda Qipu to write a letter to withdraw from the clan.
