Edo Traveler

After reading the three candidates, the Tokugawa family fell silent as usual. Leaning back on the sofa, with his eyes closed, his eyes were scattered, and it even made people suspect that he was asleep.

Everyone knows that this is the general's contemplation. What should you do? Anyway, as long as you don't make a sound to disturb the general. Chuemon carefully picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

Western gadgets are naturally used in the Western Pavilion. It is not so much a meeting in the imperial palace as it is an afternoon tea in the imperial palace. Generals themselves have the custom of holding tea parties with ministers. It is an old tradition for everyone to sit down and drink tea together. It's just that the Tokugawa family is too lazy to do the tea ceremony, so it is more convenient to learn the Westerners to drink afternoon tea.

It is said that Mrs. Atsuhime made the tea herself, and Chuemon didn't notice any difference after drinking it. The ministers did not dare to speak and communicate, they could only hold a teacup and start to appreciate the French porcelain, which was different from the Japanese porcelain.

Napoleon III gave it to the Tokugawa family, and it looks very fancy.

"Just these three people?" Just as everyone was staring at a teacup, Tokugawa Kading finally opened his eyes.

Look at this, it means that the three people on the proposal film are not satisfied. They were originally compromised characters, each with a good father or a good mother, the Tokugawa family must be very suspicious of their level.

"If the superior's intentions belong, the ministers and the others will definitely follow them." Naobi Ii took the lead in answering.

Originally, the old middle school was the position of assisting generals in governing the world. Of course, it was very important to discuss seniority, but Tokugawa Jiading’s own opinions were more important. The world belongs to the Tokugawa family, and this kind of thing is not decided by the Tokugawa family.

"My intention is..." Tokugawa Jiading actually showed a look of hesitating to speak.

This is very difficult for a general. You are the biggest in Japan, and you cannot say anything. Whatever you say is the law, and this is the world of the feudal family.

"Well... the old and middle ones are usually selected by the relatives and the family, but in the modern age, the external samples have been used more. There were Matsushiro and Tokushima, and they were all ministers." To the ears of several people present, that was explosive remarks.

Sanada Yukuki himself is the son of Matsudaira Tedanobu, and Hashisuga Qiyu himself is the son of the Tokugawa family Qi. Although they belong to the name of the outsiders, they are the Tokugawa family's own cubs. Of course, there is no problem in serving as the old middle school.

But now, listening to the meaning of the Tokugawa family, it seems that it is to break through the old practice of only using relatives and genealogy, and to choose from the external samples. This is a major event that breaks the political balance of the entire shogunate, and it is going to shake the entire shogunate system.

"Ah this!"

Even Jingyi Zhibi was speechless for a while in surprise. After all, if these words came out of the mouth of a big name, he could have scolded him directly. But now this sentence came from the mouth of Tokugawa Jiading, are you going to scold the general for a meal?

Chuemon sat down to start, and for a while, he was not sure about the idea of ​​the Tokugawa family. The shogunate took the initiative to give power to the foreign sample? Right now, it has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to directly "republic" with the foreign princes.

Tokugawa Jiading raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone not to speak in a hurry. …

"I have a plan on this matter..."

According to Tokugawa Iadada, the captains of the ships of the shogunate navy were shoguns. And most of them are not high-ranking ministers. It is all thanks to the general Qiyingming and martial arts to promote them to their current positions. Coupled with the righteousness of the monarchs and ministers over the past two hundred years, the loyalty to the shogunate is very good.

The soldiers of the shogunate navy were either shoguns who trained with the Dutch in their early years, or students selected from the Yokohama Naval Training Institute or the Yokohama Merchant Marine School, all of which were trained by the shogunate themselves.

Even if the navy is an outsider, everyone below is a loyal minister of the shogunate, so there is no problem!

And now, if one person can be promoted to serve as the senior middle school among the outer samples, it will obviously have a huge effect on easing the relationship between the outer samples and the shogunate.

If it is to cede power to the shogun in peacetime, then the shogun will only think that the shogunate is weak and can be bullied, and feel contempt for the shogunate. But now the shogunate has just killed a group, left a group, and closed a group. It only took four days to mobilize troops and horses to enter the capital. What a speed.

The princes are terrified!

At this time, when the shogunate unleashed goodwill on the foreign princes, it was no longer a show of weakness, but a favor and reward from the high-ranking people to the lower classes.

"What do you mean by that brother?" Chuemon suddenly felt something.

"Yujiro Yuyi and Pu Ji got married, and they were elected as senior middle school members and served as the navy!" Tokugawa Jiading said a candidate that even Chuemon would not have thought of.

Shimadzu Yajiro is 19 years old this year, and Pu Ji is 11 years old this year, the age gap can be ignored. The important thing is to immediately take the identity of the Consort of the Dechuan clan, so that he can enter the court in a foreign body.

"Then the Marquis of Kagoshima lives in seclusion?" Naobi Ii seemed to have thought of something.

"That's right, I ordered him to live in seclusion, hand over the position of family governor to Yajiro, and the next navy to pursue coastal defense." The Tokugawa family must have thought very well.

How could a nineteen-year-old be a good senior in the shogunate. But let his father be his full-time secretary, then there is no problem. Shimadzu has been ups and downs for more than 20 years, and it is already an old river and lake. There is no big problem in helping his son manage the shogunate navy.

"I have a long-term plan, I can't wait." Kusei Guangzhou directly gave the Tokugawa family a flattery.

"It's just to win over the island

Dear, UU reading www.uukanshu.com This chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^jin, just to determine Kyushu. "The Tokugawa family smiled, they were all members of the shogunate, and he said it very straightforwardly.

As long as there is nothing wrong with Shimadzu in the southern part of Kyushu, then the other princes in northern Kyushu, who have always been obedient to the shogunate, obviously cannot jump out to challenge the shogunate. The shogun's confidants are serious troubles, and they can be eliminated one by one.

After all, the mountains of Kyushu are high and the emperor is far away, and the military strength of the shogunate is beyond the reach of the shogunate. There is no way to control the entire Kyushu Island only by relying on the small clan of Kyushu. It's better to just make a deal with the Shimadzu family, and use the shogunate to use it for the shogunate.

"How?" Although the Tokugawa family had already made up their minds, he was not an arbitrary person, so he still asked the ministers of Muge for their opinions.

"I have no objection!" Chuemon took the lead in expressing his approval. Shimadzu and we are iron brothers.

If they can get closer and keep the Shimadzu clan stable for the past 30 years, then paying a certain price is completely acceptable.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
