Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

.

The spn family used the most tragic method of "suicide" by swallowing gold to vent his resentment towards China, his contempt for the Party, and his repentance for ruining the Tokugawa family business, just three days before he howled and struggled to death In the novel, Nabematsu Maru was supported by Tsunajo and others as the seventh-generation general, and changed his name to a family to declare that he would inherit the orthodoxy of the Tokugawa family.

Of course, the young Iezuri was in charge of the government himself, and the power of the shogunate fell to Tokugawa Tsunajo, who served as the deputy general of the family and served as the governor of the family. It was confirmed in Kawasakashi's time, and it was also because Tsunade and Jitong were afraid of the sharp-edged Yoshimune.

Fortunately, the internal power struggle of the Tokugawa family did not affect the peace negotiations between the shogunate, China and the emperor's court.

Therefore, on the ninth day of October of that year, the shogunate and the emperor's court reached a compromise under the pressure of China. The Tokugawa shogunate announced the implementation of "returning the great government" and handed over 80 shi to the Kyoto court accordingly.In this way, after deducting the territory added to the pro-vassals, the territory compensated to the Xiguo Pudai, and the shogunate’s loss of direct leadership in the West Kingdom, the general still retains 140 million koku of direct leadership, and is still the largest feudal lord in Japan.What is even more beneficial to the shogunate is that by returning the territory, the shogunate also got rid of the heavy burden of paying compensation to Xia on its own.

After the territorial issue was resolved, the two sides discussed the issue of the shogunate's banner without outlines and Yoshimune's arguments.Since the territory of the shogunate's banner totaled more than 260 million koku, the Kyoto court and the Saikuni daimyo naturally did not want to see this power still in the hands of the shogunate.Naturally, the shogunate was not willing to give up its loyal old subordinates easily. After a lot of competition between the two sides, the shogunate, whose strength was greatly weakened, had to make another concession. [

On October 30th, the shogunate agreed to hand over the management rights of Banner to the Emperor's Court, and the Emperor's Court announced that the former Shogun's Banner, who had more than ten thousand stones, would be promoted to a prince at one time.Immediately, the Emperor's court formally appointed the Kuroda family as the ruler of Kitakyushu, the Shimadzu family as the ruler of Southern Kyushu, moved the Hiroshima domain to the present and granted the Asano family the management of Shikoku, added [-] shi of the Changzhou domain to Hiroshima, and awarded the "Maori" family as the governor. Shanyang Road is in charge.

At the same time, the Emperor's court also appointed the Owari Domain as the governor of the Tokaido, the Mito Domain as the governor of the Kanto Hachishu, the Kofu Domain as the Nakasendo Governor, and the Aizu Domain as the Echigo Deba Governor in accordance with the requirements of Huaxia. Zeng Zhixing Sendai Fan 15 koku and awarded Mutsu the post of leader.It's just that the Kyoto court played tricks on the appointment of the governors of San'in and Hokuriku.

On October 32th, the Japanese imperial court reduced the seal of Zhixing from 19 koku to 65 koku on the grounds that the Tottori domain was the first to crusade against the shogunate, and Hoki was taken over by the Okayama domain a country.However, in order to appease the Ikeda family, the imperial court announced that one branch of the Sanin Guanling would be replaced by the two branches of the Ikeda family in turn. So far, just for the same purpose of appeasement, the Kyoto side arranged for the Maeda family and the Echizen Matsudaira family to take turns as the Hokuriku governor.

The shogunate is happy to watch the show because it has nothing to do with itself and can provoke the relationship between the two vassals and the imperial court. As for the two vassals whose interests have been damaged, although they are angry from top to bottom, they dare not speak out against the imperial court backed by Huaxia.As a result, the Emperor's court preliminarily established its own authority with the hundreds of thousands of Shi Zhixing seized from the two powerful feudal clans of Tottori and Fukui.

After resolving the issue of the territory and banner, the subsequent negotiations between the shogunate and the imperial court became smoother.

The shogunate then recognized that the emperor's court was the highest symbol of Japan's foreign affairs. The emperor had the power to accept credentials, set the year name, grant official positions to courtiers, approve the marriage of various vassals, and the succession of adopted sons.However, the emperor did not care about the specific handling of government affairs. The relevant powers were jointly controlled and implemented by Guan Bai and the left minister and the general who conquered the barbarians and the right minister. Landlords and landowners' appointment rights.

It seems that the shogunate and the imperial court have reached an agreement, and the "combination of public and military forces" is about to be realized, but no one thought that there would be variables at this point in the matter-because of the previous promises made by China to the anti-shogun princes everywhere, the government and the shogunate had to accept it. China imposed the princes' meeting on both sides, and jointly promised that the future major policies and national policies of the imperial court will be "determined by public opinion". As a result, the highest power in Japan has actually been transferred to the hands of the feudal lords and councilors.

However, feudal clans are different in size, and each feudal clan has different positions and ideas. In order to balance the interests of the strong and small feudal clans, to prevent certain big feudal clans from "manipulating" the meeting, and to prevent the small feudal clans from uniting against the strong feudal clans , Therefore, the shogunate, the imperial court and the feudal vassals agreed that princes with less than 30 koku had one vote, princes with 30 koku and less than [-] koku were counted as three votes, those with [-] koku and [-] koku had five votes, and each vassal with more than [-] koku had ten votes.

After clarifying the voting rights, the meeting of princes came to the stage—on October 13, 29th year of Huaxia Wucheng, the princes of all Japanese vassals gathered in Kyoto. The first meeting of princes was officially held. Emperor Higashiyama came to the meeting. Both sides swore allegiance to the emperor at the same time, so far the "combination of public and military forces" has been realized, and the untrue "royal administration restoration" has been announced.

The first meeting of princes had a lot of agendas, such as the confirmation of the official positions of the rulers and ordinary princes, the determination of the scope of authority of the state secretary and county secretary, etc. There are always more than a dozen topics, but there are two most important proposals. The first is about the feudal lords. Regarding the handling of armaments, the second is the signing of the armistice treaty with China and the financing of indemnities.

Of course, the disposition of the armaments of the feudal lords is a very important proposal.Don’t look at Japan’s peacefulness again, but the sense of oppression of the powerful vassals where the leaders are located on the small vassals within the scope of the shogunate has become more obvious due to the virtualization of the shogunate. Armaments cost a lot of money. How to strike a balance when the financial resources of each domain are limited?Dafan, Xiaofan, generals, and the court all have their own considerations.

After several days of debate, the plan proposed by Dazhou Fan was appreciated by most of the princes.According to the plan of the Ozu Domain, the imperial court of the Emperor will not set up a standing army, and the soldiers and horses that govern the domain and the princes in the domain will be controlled by various provinces to maintain law and order. Military force and the adjacent military forces assist in the pacification. As for the invasion of foreign enemies, the leaders of each channel will lead the soldiers and horses of the channel to join the general's command to fight.

In this plan, the emperor’s court does not have a standing army, so naturally there will be no additional military expenditures, which will help reduce the economic pressure on the court, and the mutual checks and balances between the rulers and generals will help ensure the status of the court, which is naturally recognized by the court; Although the general has to spend his own money to raise soldiers, the army can guarantee that the No.1 position of the general's family will not be shaken, and naturally he has the approval of the shogunate; several leaders also feel that they can further highlight their status and strengthen themselves in the The imperial court has the right to speak, so there is no objection; although Xiaofan intends to object, the imperial court, shogunate, and Qiangfan all agreed, and they also tried their best to reverse the situation.

Therefore, in the end, the plan of the Dazhou Fan was approved. According to this plan, every ten thousand shi Zhixing can retain soldiers and horses equivalent to one sentry (hundred people) of the Xia Army, and every one hundred thousand shi can retain the equivalent of one regiment (750 people) of the Xia Army. soldiers and horses.However, it is obvious that the small princes who really only have ten thousand stones will keep a team of more than thirty people as guards at most, and the daimyos with more than one hundred thousand stones will have at most one regiment of soldiers and horses. Some standing items are already hard to come by

After the issue of the armaments of the vassals was resolved, the more difficult peace treaty with Xia was placed in front of the emperor's court, the shogunate and all the princes-according to China's request, Japan should completely cede Sado, Izaki, Oki and Izu Islands; restore And expand the treaty ports to all of Japan; Chinese businessmen can enter and leave Japan at will and have the right to mine mines everywhere in Japan-these may be acceptable, but it is difficult for China to demand another 1000 million compensation from Japan.

But no matter how difficult it is to meet the requirements, it must be met. Facing the Xia army with more than [-] elite soldiers stationed in Osaka and Zhouben City, the princes can only learn from the experience of the shogunate and finally approve the imperial court to accept all the conditions of China.

On December 13, [-]th year of Wucheng, Xia and Japan formally signed

The two news, one before and one after, greatly shocked the whole of Japan, and the whole of Japan once again felt the hardships after the defeat of the Battle of Baijiangkou (Note: The first confrontation between China and Japan was the victory of the Tang army).As a result, the contempt for China's national policy of emphasizing business and despising Confucianism was completely eliminated in Japan, and the sound of sending "new Tang envoys" to China to study spread throughout Japan. "Xia Xue" also replaced "Zhu Zixue", "Yangming Xue", "Lanxue" has become the first famous school in Japan
