spn "I didn't expect the shogunate's connections to be so deep, and they all announced the implementation of the restoration of the royal government, and there are still people in the public office who are connected to the shogunate." Looking at Oda Nobuharu who was dressed in a high-class family in front of him, he was a messenger stationed in Japan Ge Weining couldn't help sneering. "Forget it, since you are the minister of the Ministry of War, let's hear what your Excellency wants to come."

"Master Shangguo's enlightenment," Oda Nobuharu said after bowing slightly and straightening up. "The shogunate has ruled Japan for more than a hundred years, and the vassal structure has been stabilized. At this time, Shangguo wants to change the world in Japan, which may have a great impact on Japan." Oda Nobuharu knew that his words could not convince the other party, so he quickly came up with dry goods Come. "The whole family thinks that what Shangguo wants is a stable Japan, a Japan that can digest what Shangguo produces, not a Japan that is full of wars and even buys weapons on credit."

Ge Weining praised: "It seems that there are still people in the shogunate who understand, please continue."

"I heard that Shangguo is planning to concentrate its forces to expel the Manchus in the north. If you want to come to Shangguo, it is impossible to keep tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Japan." Seeing Ge Weining echoing his point of view, Oda Xinchun immediately became more confident. . "Of course, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses may be worthwhile to Shangguo, but it is better to concentrate our forces than to disperse them. This is exactly the principle of the so-called more chances of winning and less defeat."

Ge Weining nodded and said: "That's the case. Once the main force of the shogunate is eliminated, the remaining battles will still be resolved by domestic preparations in Japan." [

Oda Nobuharu immediately took advantage of the situation and asked, "My lord, I don't know if the shogunate guards the Kanto region and watches the changes in Kinki and the West, how will the army of the Shangguo destroy the main force of the shogunate? If the imperial court organizes troops to conquer the shogunate, the war in Japan will continue again." How many days will it take to end? If the war is delayed, Shangguo may not only be unable to collect indemnities from Japan and sell goods, but will also increase support to the emperor. Is this really in the interests of Shangguo?"

Ge Weining laughed loudly and said, "What a sharp mouth, but did you miss a little bit?"

Oda Nobuharu, who is a good lobbyist, obviously had predicted Ge Weining's reaction long ago, so he responded tepidly: "I know that the army of the upper kingdom can directly attack Edo, but for one thing, the shogunate has a lot of people in Edo. Management, even if the army of the Shangguo can conquer Edo, it must pay more or even ten times the price than before. The second thing is that the foundation of the imperial court is shallow. Under the internal scramble for power and profit, there are ambitious people who set up the "Maori Shogunate" and "Hosokawa Shogunate", wouldn't this make Shangguo's thoughts come to naught?"

Oda Nobuharu's words obviously have several meanings in it.

First of all, he confirmed that Edo could not stop Xia Jun's attack, but the Tokugawa family is finished, and there are a large group of people who will be unlucky with them. Under the situation of the same enemy, these people will definitely work hard. There must be heavy casualties on the military side; secondly, Oda Nobuharu emphasized that the Japanese tradition is that the samurai govern the world, and therefore believes that the rejuvenation of the imperial court will not last long, and Japan will fall into civil strife sooner or later, instead of waiting for a force to appear It is better to let the Tokugawa shogunate continue to maintain the new shogunate that has been realized; in the end, Oda also asked Ge Weining, if he must insist on the imperial court replacing the shogunate, which will lead to repeated political situations in Japan in the future. ?

Ge Weining responded with a seemingly stubborn opinion: "Master Oda, it is impossible to go back to the past."

This is also a fact. Kansai has undergone earth-shaking changes. Among other things, the territory taken from the pro-vassal and genealogical daimyos loyal to the shogunate has been allocated, so how can it be honestly returned to the original owner?Besides, the power against the curtain is already standing in the foreground, is it possible to wait for the shogunate to slow down and purge them one by one?

So Ge Weining made two suggestions to the shogunate on behalf of the Huaxia court: "First, realize the integration of public and military forces."

The combination of public and military forces advocated by Huaxia has several contents: first, the general’s residence was moved from Edo to Ping’an-kyo; Management, the general retains a quarter of it as the territory; fourth, the power to confer official positions below the left and right ministers, generals, and Guan Bai will be taken back to the imperial court, but the general and Guan Bai have the right to nominate candidates, and also have the right to Veto the other party's nomination; fifth, the management of monks and temples, priests and shrines is also transferred to the emperor's court; sixth, to ensure the status quo of each vassal, and the shogunate genealogy and pro-vassals who suffer losses can get compensation from the heaven Seventh, set up management leaders at the local level to place powerful daimyos, and set up a council at the central level to invite princes from all over the country to discuss politics together.

In addition to the combination of public and military, Huaxia has a second suggestion: "Divide the East and the West."

The so-called separation of the East and the West is based on the current actual control line between the two sides. The eastern part is still controlled by the shogunate and implements the vassal system.

The advantage of the "combination of public and military forces" is that Japan remains unified and continues to implement dual politics, but the power of the shogunate is reduced and the status of the general is virtualized. abolished; while the "Partition of East and West" maintained the authority of the shogunate in eastern Japan, but it meant that Japan was going to split from now on.Therefore, in a sense, Huaxia, which wants to maintain Japan's complete market, is actually more inclined to "combine public and military forces", so that it can give all parties an explanation and facilitate future "manipulation" of the Japanese government to ensure Huaxia's highest position in Japan. Benefit.

However, Oda Nobuharu was frightened by Ge Weining's two suggestions: "This, is this too harsh?"

"Harsh? This dynasty is tolerant enough without uprooting the Tokugawa family." Ge Weining looked at Oda Nobuharu with a half-smile. "Besides, is it true that Oda-sama is here to discuss peace on behalf of the shogun himself?"

Oda Nobuharu hesitated: "My lord, where do you say this? If I don't represent the shogunate, who can I represent?"

"Then please Oda-sama show the authorization document from the shogunate." Ge Weining had a mocking smile on his lips. "After the last peace negotiation, the shogunate shouldn't say that they still don't know the rules."

Oda Nobuharu participated in the last summer negotiation, so he naturally knew the so-called rules, but he couldn't produce proof from the shogunate, so he had to deny it: "It's just a private contact, not a formal negotiation, how can I have the so-called authorization?" paperwork."

Ge Weining just sneered, and after a long time, Xinchun finally admitted: "Well, to be honest, this contact was privately advocated by Mito Huangmonden, but your conditions are so harsh, obviously it is impossible to convince the shogunate Accepted."

Ge Weining provocatively said: "I think as long as the important ministers below agree, even the general can't veto it." [

"Down over top?" Xinchun seemed to think of something, trembling all over. "Is Shangguo going to completely destroy the foundation of the shogunate?"

It is difficult for people at that time to imagine the tragedy of sons killing their fathers and ministers killing the king in the Warring States Period. However, as a descendant of the Oda clan, Xinchun, who has a long history of family education, certainly knows the bloody scene in history.

"Destroyed the shogunate's foundation? Is there?" Ge Weining naturally couldn't admit Xinchun's accusation, he said innocently. "I'm just trying to persuade you to be aware of current affairs." Ge Weining's explanation is really suspected of taking off his pants and farting, but it is indeed devastating to the shogunate that regards Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism as the keynote of its rule. "Besides, the general is not the real king of Japan."

"The general is not the real lord of Japan, and the general is not the real lord of Japan. I understand." Xinchun, who was struggling violently in his thoughts, was completely without the elegance of a public servant, and he asked with a ferocious expression while panting heavily. road. "I already understand the meaning of Lord Shangguo, but how can I convince the shogunate to accept Shangguo's kindness?"

"If the public and military are combined, for the sake of Japan, there will be a governor in the eight states of Kanto, a governor in Deba, Echigo, and Aizu, a governor in Tokaido, and a governor in Nakasendo. If you think about it, you can settle the Yusanjia and the Aizu Matsudaira clan, and as for the Hokuriku Road, you will also have a governor, but the Echizen Matsudaira clan might not be able to compete with the Kaga domain." These place names that Ge Weining reported are now under the control of the shogunate Under the circumstances, no matter whether it is "combining the public and military forces" or "dividing the east and the west", the shogunate's pro-vassals should act as the representatives of the various vassals in the above-mentioned areas. "However, there is one thing to say. Guanling is only responsible for supervising the local vassals. As for the control of Tianling, which is handed over to the emperor's court, and the positions of state secretary, county secretary, chief landowner, and land chieftain, it cannot be interfered with."

"Understood, Shangguo removed the big and kept the small, abolished the shogunate but retained the leadership to contain the Kyoto court, it's really a good plan." Oda Nobuharu nodded clearly. "In this way, the survival of the Tokugawa family and the interests of most of the branches can be guaranteed." Xinchun paused. "It's just who will take charge of the Mutsu region?"

Ge Weining was not afraid of Xinchun Lenovo, and said directly: "Local powerful feudal clans also need to be appeased."

"Has the Sendai clan already surrendered to Shangguo?" Regarding Xinchun's speculation, Ge Weining smiled but did not answer, Xinchun could only sigh. "False and true, Shangguo's method of rebellion is ingenious. From this point of view, the failure of the shogunate is a matter of course."

"Okay, Lord Xinchun, you don't have to make insinuations, just go back and report the truth." Ge Weining stood up. "This side of the capital, our court is almost overwhelmed, so please tell Mito-sama to make a decision as soon as possible. If it is too late, even if the court wants to maintain the shogunate, it will not work."

"This?" Xinchun smiled wryly. As the saying goes, the situation is stronger than the people. This is no longer Ge Weining's threat. The fact is also true. With the arrival of the Western vassals in Beijing, there are indeed plans to fight Guan Yuan again. There was no sound, so he could only bow his head and promise at this moment. "Please rest assured, my lord, I will return to the Edo notification now."

Leaving the mansion where the minister had met, Ge Weining immediately ordered to the entourage beside him: "Send a fast boat to contact Sendai immediately, and tell them that great changes in Edo are imminent, let them seize the opportunity."
