"My lord, the good news is that this year Huguang, Jiangxi and other places have suffered from catastrophic disasters. Sichuan's food has been sent to Huguang. There is no additional military rations. The Xia army who is stationed in the south may not even be able to fill their stomachs. I am afraid that they will not have the strength to continue north. Committed." In Ganzhou City, Xiao Enzhu, the general of Feng Shuo's department in charge of espionage, reported. "This year is finally over."

"Have you made it through?" Before Feng Shuo could respond, Ma Hushan, the general of Feng's department, said indignantly. "Master Xiao is joking. Open your eyes and look at the situation now. I'm afraid we will be swallowed up by Hai before Xia Jun comes."

"Brother Defeng, you don't need to say anything when you are so angry." Zhao Pingdong, another general of Feng's department, saw Feng Shuo's unhesitating expression, and immediately spoke to appease Ma Hushan. "As the saying goes, inviting God is easy and sending God away is difficult, and it is also difficult for the admiral to do so. If Hai Bu is invited back like this, I am afraid that Xia Jun will come again, and he will not come here to do his best. We should bear the sea and the sky."

"Fart!" Ma Hushan spat on the ground. "Be patient, it's better to give Ganzhou to Hai."

Feng Shuo couldn't bear it, and yelled at the table: "Enough, talk about the bastard again, I'll take your skin off." [

Ma Hushan knelt in front of Feng Shuo all of a sudden: "Junmen, the little one followed you on the saddle, not to mention the credit, but at least the hard work. You can let the little one say something about the hard work of the little one." Let's talk."

Feng Shuo was furious but he had no choice but to let Ma Hushan continue, and he heard Ma Hushan say: "It's not that I have a bad mind. I must cut off your foreign aid from the army. It's just that the soldier named Hai has been here for a long time. It has caused too much harm to Ganzhou, if this continues, it is better to invest in the south while still having capital.”

"Nonsense." Feng Shuo interrupted Ma Hushan all of a sudden, pointing at Goshha and ordered. "Put it down, lock it up, and anyone who says anything about surrendering to Huaxia will be dealt with like him."

After dispersing his subordinates, Feng Shuo collapsed exhausted behind the public case in the lobby, and it took him a long time before he ordered: "Come on, please invite Mr. Ding Gongjian, the Deputy General of the Chinese Army who promoted the bid."

Soon Ding Gongjian appeared in front of Feng Shuo. Feng Shuo asked him to sit down and asked, "What did Ma Defeng say today?"

Ding Gongjian knew that Feng Shuo was tempted, so he sighed: "My lord, I'm afraid it's not just Mr. Ma's thinking. The whole army is a little dissatisfied with Haibu's domineering."

"It's not that I favor one person over another. After all, he came to help me defend the city with good intentions, so I don't want to treat him poorly."

"Your Excellency treats people with sincerity, but is Hai Youfen really kind enough to help me guard Ganzhou City? I'm afraid he has the idea of ​​beggar-thy-neighbor and wants to keep Xia Jun on the line of Ganzhou so as to protect him." But in this way, the battle will be carried out under the city of Ganzhou, and Ganzhou will be scorched, can we expect Hai Youfen to transport food and prepare "medicine" for us?"

Feng Shuo thought about it for a while, and replied: "Judging from the fact that Haibu's food and fodder are now half of our support, it's probably impossible to expect Hai Youfen to help with all his strength."

"Yes, it is impossible for Haibu to help with all its strength, so how long can we support it?" Ding Gongjian shook his head. "Similarly, the Eruts are also hard to count on, and the Zhungeer people are beyond reach, and the Heshuot people voted for Huaxia. Since this is the case, it is really better to surrender early, and maybe they can be sold at a good price."

Hearing what his cousin-in-law Ding Gong Jiandu said, Feng Shuo became alert: "Is this how everyone in the army thinks?"

Ding Gongjian nodded: "In the past, there may have been people who had the idea of ​​guarding against danger, but after getting along with Haibu this year, I am afraid that most people have changed their minds, so."

Ding Gongjian raised his voice: "Junmen, we still have to make a decisive decision."

Feng Shuo chuckled lightly: "Emperor Wu Cheng doesn't move his soldiers, we will become Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. It's really a good plan."

After laughing, Feng Shuo gritted his teeth: "Since what the army wants, if I, Feng, dare to stand up, I'm afraid I will be buried in death. Well, let's be more straightforward. Zuo just lost his military power, but at least A rich man can still do it."

Speaking of this, Feng Shuo ordered: "Zebo, I can't trust others. You go to Lanzhou yourself and tell them that I will sell them Ganzhou and Haibu reinforcements, and ask Huaxia what price they can offer"

On the east solstice day of December in the tenth year of Wucheng, Feng Shuo, the admiral of Gansu in the Qing Dynasty, descended to Xia and led the Xia army into the city to encircle Hai Youfen and Zhang Yuzhang.

Zhang Yuzhang's troops quickly surrendered, but Hai Youfen's third son, Hai Shunchang, fought to the death in the camp in the city, and was finally killed by Xia's artillery fire.So far, Xia Jun successfully regained Ganzhou, Feng Shuo was awarded the title of county man because of his dedication to the city, and now only the Suzhou Haibu branch of the original three towns in Gansu is still struggling.It should be said that by this time Hai Youfen had already understood that the general trend must not be violated, but he refused to surrender on the grounds of his hatred with Huaxia for killing his son.

In April of the 11th year of Huaxia Wucheng, after receiving the guarantee from the Zungar Empire Tsewang Arabtan Khan, Hai Youfen simply didn't even want the signboard of the Qing court governor of Gansu.He immediately proclaimed himself the Heavenly King of Longxi, the Emperor of Dade Weicheng, established the country as Su, changed the prefecture of Suzhou to the Mansion of Heaven, and acted as the son-emperor of the Zhungeer people. [

For the Dasu Kingdom that is like a joke, Huaxia will naturally not turn a blind eye to it, but Huaxia has its own timetable, and is unwilling to dance easily with the rhythm of a certain aspect, let alone step into the world that the Jungar people may set up. in the trap

At the same time that there were great changes in Longxi, there were also changes in Haidong and Japan—the sixth year of Emperor Higashiyama of Japan, the 11th year of Huaxia Wucheng, and the 48th day of January in the [-]th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. Tokugawa Tsuna, the fifth general of the Tokugawa shogunate, Ji died in Edo Castle.

In Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's later years, due to the opening of Japan's country, the influx of low-priced and high-quality goods from China has greatly impacted the Japanese market, resulting in the complete bankruptcy of the Japanese handicraft industry.The shrinking of the urban handicraft industry and a large amount of foreign indemnities further deteriorated the Japanese economy. In addition, the shogunate used rice instead of copper to pay indemnities, resulting in a sharp rise in food prices. For a time, urban residents, including lower-level samurai, became increasingly difficult.Although Japan avoided the expansion of the crisis by sending people overseas, the sale of its people to Chinese businessmen as slaves has aroused strong dissatisfaction among Japanese people of insight.

All kinds of dissatisfaction accumulated, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally the Rixia merchants and the Japanese apprentices they hired.

However, deterred by China's force, all levels of Japanese society dare not vent their anger directly to China, so cursing the Tokugawa shogunate has become a common scene in Japanese daily life.

Although Tokugawa Tsunakichi understood this situation, he tried his best to change this situation, so he had to leave the problem to the successor general.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's chosen successor general is Tokugawa Ienobu.Tokugawa Ienobu was the eldest son of Tokugawa Tsunashige, Prime Minister of Kofu. He was named Tsunatoyo because he accepted the taboo of the four generations of generals.In the sixth year of Yanbao (1678), the 16-year-old Tsuna Toyo succeeded the feudal lord after the death of his father Tsunashige.In the eighth year of Yanbao, Tokugawa Ietsuna passed away. Tsunatoyo and Tokugawa Tsunakichi, the lord of the Tatebayashi domain, became one of the general's heirs, but in the end Tsunakichi became a general, and Tsunatoyo had to continue to be his feudal lord.

Later, Tsunayoshi's eldest son, Tokumatsu, died, and Tsunayoshi, who had no heir, had no choice but to make Tsunatoyo and Tokugawa Tsunyo, the husband of Tsunayoshi's eldest daughter Tsuruhime, the candidates for the Sixth Shogun.However, Tsuruhime died in the first year of Baoying (ie 1704), and Tokugawa Tsunaka also passed away in the second year. So far, Tsunatoyo has become the only candidate for the sixth general.

Since there was only one candidate left, Tsunatoyo joined Nishinomaru in Edo Castle as the adopted heir of a shogun, and took the word "family" passed down from generation to generation by the Tokugawa shogun's family, and was changing his name to Iesan. At that time, Jiaxuan was already 43 years old.

Due to his mother's low status in his early years, he was forced to be adopted by a lower-level samurai and spent his childhood among the people. Therefore, Jiaxuan is more close to the people and understands the sufferings of the people. However, because Tsunaki is still alive, his ambition cannot be fulfilled, so he has to endure it silently.

Now that Tsunayoshi died, he became a general himself. In order to save the shogunate, Ieno naturally offered a series of reform measures, the first of which was to contact Yanagisawa Yoshihei's position as a senior middle school.

Knowing that he must become a scapegoat, Liu Ze obediently handed over his power and returned to his own territory to live his retirement life.

Jiaxuan, who was the first to ignite the fire, quickly announced the abolition of the "Order of Compassion for Human Beings" that Tsuna Yoshitaka had a lot of negative criticism from the people.

After the order was issued, the whole of Japan cheered, and the financial pressure of the shogunate was cleared. At the same time, the people also believed that the new shogun would do something, which might change the declining situation of Japan.

On April [-], following the appointment of Arai Shiraishi, a literary attendant, as Yuu's pen, Iesan also appointed the former minister of the Kai domain, Mabe Kanbo, as the imperial servant, Totsuji (a side servant). So far, Iesan has used the political means of the Tsunayoshi era to Initially mastered the shogunate.

Jiaxuan recognized early on that the failure of the "Law of Locking the Country" was the main cause of Japan's current predicament, but the power of China was beyond his control. Therefore, after he took control of the shogunate, he issued the order on the eighth day of May and the eleventh day in June The "Armed Forces Order" was issued to strengthen the Academy Fan, Xiaoxing Group Fan and Xinfan by allocating internal funds, and on the basis of the three, a standing force of 3000 people was formed, and the Jiaoshen daimyo was ordered to provide the samurai of the clan to form a group. A new armed force named "Edo Fan".The self-armed "Edo Ban" is directly commanded by the shogunate, and in fact exists as a standing reserve.

As for the plan of the new general to prepare the army for war, Japan could see clearly that those feudal lords who were damaged by the impact of Chinese goods immediately followed suit and organized large and small standing armies.This kind of behavior that was explicitly prohibited during the previous Tokugawa generals was praised by the family propaganda, and even the shogunate set up fantou in various places to be close to the private armies of the feudal clans.

Of course, there are also some Japanese who have benefited from the import of Chinese goods, and secretly found the Huaxia Honglu envoy to call the police. Therefore, although the other party kept it secret, the Chinese side was still ready to fight Japan again. Work
