Edo Traveler

"The shogunate is aggressive towards Ezo and Kata, and Ou must be stabilized."

Mizuno Tadashi put down the teacup, smiled, and said to his colleagues on the left and right. Anyway, he also suggested it, so of course there is something to say. The new army training team has to be cautious because it is related to the survival of the shogunate.

"Details."

"Ou is located in a far-reaching location, and he is the heart of Bando. Although he is used to being obedient to the shogunate, he is mostly an outsider..."

Since everyone asks me, I'll just say yes. There is no need to introduce where Ou is. The most powerful vassal state in the region is Sendai, with 620,050 shi. In the early years of Edo, there were 7,000 retainers, and now there are 10,000 retainers and 35,000 companions.

In other words, in theory, Sendai clan can mobilize an army of 45,000, which is also in line with his status as a big name with a real height of more than 1.2 million stone, including the clan.

The current leader, Date Keibang, is thirty-six years old, and he is the fourth lieutenant general of the lower left guard, Mutsushou. Usually, he is not very active in participating in the shogunate, because the shogunate has no part in him to speak. Their family was also one of the daimyo seriously suspected by Tokugawa Ieyasu back then, and they were very cautious and cunning.

By the way, there is no son, just two daughters.

According to Mizuno Tadasei's idea, since the shogunate has determined the major policy of developing Ezo and Kata, and it is constantly advancing, recruiting immigrants. So in order to promote the development of the north faster, it is very important to have a stable Ou who is inclined towards the shogunate and actively cooperates with the shogunate's plan to develop the north.

Don't Ezo and Kata develop well, and Ou had a riot, and they separated the two places at once, that's just a joke. In later generations, the self-sufficiency rate of Ezo agriculture can be as high as 170%, but at present, it needs blood from other places. If the road is blocked, the impact is not small.

Moreover, there is another layer, the Ou area is extremely cold. What is the most direct manifestation? Even after Mizuno Tadasaka failed in his political struggle in history, he was kicked to the Hanshu Yamagata Domain. In the same history, the shogunate of the shogunate, Masatoshi Hota, was kicked to the Yamagata Domain after his family was assassinated.

From this aspect, we can see what kind of thoughts the people of the time had towards Ou.

And a place is bitter, cold and poor, so what does it mean? Of course, it is the poor mountains and bad waters that make troublesome people!

Mizuno Tadashi thought carefully that anyway, the shogunate wanted to recruit the second son and third son of the samurai family, and the second son and third son of the Miao saber family.

Sending them into the army of the shogunate, on the one hand, strengthens their sense of identity with the Tokugawa shogunate and makes them supporters of the shogunate. On the other hand, it can also reduce the factors of instability in the Ou area, so that these unemployed warriors in the Ou area can have one more way out, so as not to become some kind of rebellious elements.

Besides, if there is a division's troops stationed in Sendai, Sendai is basically stable. History has proved that the great names of Ou are generally headed by Sendai Domain or Aizu Domain. A small clan of Ou who could stabilize Sendai and Aizu would not be able to, nor would they dare to cause any big storms.

"It seems like the wisdom of the Song Dynasty." Chuyouemon took a sip of tea and felt that Mizuno Tadashi made some sense.

Isn't that the case with the Song Dynasty? Although from life to death, the uprising never stopped, and the frequency of uprisings was almost the highest among feudal dynasties in the entire Chinese history. But he is very good at it. Once there is a disaster, he will recruit the strongest group of disaster victims into the Xiang Army.

The rest, if you rebel or not, are all controllable events. It may even be a good thing to rebel, just let the recruited army send a wave. So the victims also died, and the recruited troops also died, perfect.

The shogunate also learned this trick from him, but it was just a precautionary measure. Those who read and read first, and who could kill with a knife, were recruited into the training team. Spend money to support them and keep them in camps, so that they won't make trouble or teach them to be bad. Without their backbone, Ou wanted to be in chaos, but he couldn't.

"Only one point, Aizu is easy to say, how can Sendai allow the shogunate to be stationed?" Matsudaira Qixuan rubbed his chin, thinking about this question.

The Aizu clan was the shogunate’s own clan, and the shogunate’s garrison was only natural. Everyone knows that the ancestor of their family is the illegitimate son of Tokugawa Hidetada, and this is something that the shogunate has already acknowledged. If the Tsu domain was called the Hokke Matsudaira clan, it was not called Matsudaira because it was recognized by the shogunate.

But Sendai Domain, it is different, that is the standard appearance of princes. If you were at war, you would pass through Sendai Domain. It is not difficult for Date Qingbang to give you Sendai Castle to live in the shogunate for a few days. But the difficulty lies in the fact that the shogunate's army is permanently stationed under the city of the princes, which is somewhat inappropriate.

"The young master Shiwan has not yet been engaged, and the eldest daughter of Lieutenant General Mutsu (Ida Feiji) is about the same age as the young master." Who is not to marry? Marrying the daughter of the Date family, the shogunate will not suffer.

Let Yida Qingbang adopt his daughter to Ying Si Zhengtong, isn't it a double high door, and it is very appropriate to enter the big Olympics at that time. Now that there is a "bead jade" like Mrs. Atsushi in front, if it weren't for Alan's health, there would have been foreign princes who wanted to fill in the house for Chungyouemon.

Right now, Chuemon's Odaisho dare not think about it, but Shimaru's Otaisho belongs to an existence that can be completely delusional~www.readwn.com~ If you marry your daughter to Shimaru, and then upgrade to Otaisho, and finally pull it together With his own family, there is also a senior middle school, as defined by Shimadzu, who is also the consort of the shogunate and controls the finances of the shogunate.

Although the power did not dare to say Xuantian, but it was also a fire cooking oil, and the flowers were full of brocade.

"Well..." Chuemon has not thought about the marriage of his eight-year-old son.

"Secondly, the Oshu Railway should also be put on the agenda. The first phase of the project will drive Sendai directly from Edo, and the second phase will use Sendai as the basis to go north." Mizuno Tadashi was on the point.

"If you don't allow it, the shogunate to the south of Sendai Domain will lead the 100,000 stone sky, and you can hand it over to Sendai Domain."

Good guy, if Ida Qingbang doesn't agree to such favorable conditions, then Ida Qingbang will really be ashamed. If anyone were to be someone else, they would probably agree to such conditions. There is no need for the Date family to pay anything. The daughter has to be used for marriage. It is better to give it to the shogunate than to others.

The most important thing is that if the third division is in Sendai, the most recruits will definitely be from Sendai, in disguise to help Date Qingbang alleviate the problem of raising people in the domain. Moreover, there are many people in Sendai, the third division, and Ida Qingbang Baoqi wants to secretly have fun in his heart.
