epydz (Oyama Bingwei, who was taken as Xiaona's account, quickly sent the Xia Riyi and the text obtained from Tokugawa Tsunajo to Kofu, and told the general Tsunayoshi and the whole story of the dangers that he heard from Dai Shuyong's mouth. The old middle-aged Ruonian who accompanied them in exile sent

"Miss Xiaoshan is suffering, let's go down and rest first." Looking at the expressionless general, Liu Ze Jiping shouted back at Xiao Shan, and waited until the close supervisor stepped down, Liu Ze presided over the meeting on behalf of the general and said, "Xia Kou Your request has been placed on the table, do you think it should be agreed?"

"My lord general has already ordered the conscripting of soldiers and horses from all over the world, so how can we agree to Xia Kou's alliance under the city without a fight?" The authority of the shogunate established by the shoguns since the gods may be shaken.”

Regarding this, the Zhuhe faction retorted: "But Xia Kou's danger is also real. Let alone whether the big names from all over the country can gather on time, even if they gather, the defense of the coastal roads will become more and more empty. The Xia Kou can avoid reality." That’s right, when the time comes, the fire will not only be in Edo, but the century-old peace will be completely ruined.”

The Lord Peace faction is not limited to these: "In addition, although the food and salaries of the various feudal clans are raised by each feudal clan, once the war continues, the shogunate will still have to bear the expenses for the savings and expenses of each feudal clan. Where does the money come from?"

"If you don't have the money to fight, how about you have the money to compensate Xia Kou?" No party faction retorted, "Your lords really fear the enemy like a tiger."

"Didn't the Battle of Edo tell the adults that Xia Kou is not easy to mess with?" Of course, the peace faction would not admit that it was his weakness. "Now that Edo Castle has been lost, if Xia Kou sticks to Edo Castle, Even if there is no reinforcements, how long can a few adults take Edo with those big tubes alone? Half a year? One year? Ten years or eight years?"

"Enough." Seeing the possibility of escalation in the dispute in the hall, and seeing the blue face of General Tsunayoshi, Yoshihei Liu Ze decisively exercised the power of the host, "The enemy is now, and the adults still have to fight among themselves."

Since the general was right in front of him, although the people present felt unwilling, they stopped talking, and Liu Ze asked by name: "Master Yuan, do you think this battle can still be fought?"

As one of the biggest leaders of the Wujuan Sect, Yuan Boqi Shouhan responded with a cold face: "Master General, Mr. Liu Ze, Mr. Ruo Nianji, all of you, I think that Xia Kou's strength is not enough to shake the shogunate. The so-called contact with the court and In the final analysis, the foreign daimyo was just intimidation to force the shogunate to agree to its conditions."

It turns out that there is a basis for saying so. During the Yuanlu period, the Japanese royal family and Gongqingluo owned a territory of 14 stones, while the foreign daimyo only had Zhixing with 150 nine stones. The opposite general Tianling has 980 stones, the shogunate banner has 790 five stones, and the genealogical daimyo and pro-vassal daimyo have 420 stones

Judging from the above data, in terms of economic strength and military strength, the power of the shogunate far outweighs the potential traitors, not to mention that the three of the shogunate’s pro-vassal genealogy also control the country’s major commercial cities and key cities. It is an important military location, and not all daimyos have the courage to fight against the shogunate, so even if the emperor's court and a few foreign officials stand up against the shogunate under the lure of China, it is actually difficult to shake the foundation of the shogunate

Liu Ze agreed with Yuan Boqishou's statement: "I have considered these things, but Xia Kou's dangerous sea route harassing, this may be difficult to solve the situation, it will not let the feudal clans give up the coastal territories, and the financial affairs of the feudal clans They are not well-off, once the war breaks out, I am afraid that the next year, or even the next few years, the days will be sad."

"Although Xia Kou is not trying to invade China like Yuan Kou, Xia Kou's ambition is even more unpredictable, so if all the vassals are loyal to the shogunate, they should do their best to serve the public." I thought I had to fight Xia Kou again before I could sit down and negotiate."

Liu Ze was not targeting Hara, but he wanted to put both sides in front of General Tsunayoshi, so as to help the ducai make up his mind: "I'm going to fight for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to reward the shogunate if I lose It's critical, can't Hara-sama learn from the lessons learned by the Hojo Clan in the past?"

The Hojo clan that Yanagisawa mentioned is not the Hou Hojo clan that Ise Kuro pretended to be the descendants of the Sengoku Kanto, but the former Hojo clan that held the real power of the Kamakura shogunate at that time. The family's favor caused social turmoil, and was finally destroyed by the Gong Fang and the rebellious Kanto Samurai Group.

Yanagisawa's words caused a slight change in General Tsunayoshi's expression. Yes, the reason why he changed his name repeatedly like the third general Iemitsu and the fourth general Ietsuna was to weaken the local power and strengthen the central government's finances. The battle of the Xia army led to the final need to entrust hundreds of thousands or even millions of shi to Zhixing to go out. Not only will the previous efforts be ruined, but more importantly, Zhongyang's finances will also be completely bankrupt.

"But now Xia people's asking price is too high." Noticing the general's expression was wrong, Yuan was shocked, so he hurriedly retorted, "It doesn't matter if you open for business, it's just 800 million gold and silver, can the shogunate take it out? And Sever with Dutch red
