v10 Chapter 39: The Great Conflict of Mugaku Power Seizu

Compared with Chuemon who temporarily escaped from the whirlpool of public opinion, Ii Naobi's life seemed a lot sadder. Not to mention the damage to the reputation, just to say that Ando Shinmasa is a big annoyance.

   The name Shinmasa Ando may be able to tell a little bit about the history of the Japanese Warring States Period. The two brothers Mikawa Ando, ​​Naoji Ando, ​​and Shigenobu Ando, ​​started from the side of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and flew into the sky.

  The line of Ando Naoji was awarded the title of 38,000 stones by the Kishu Tanabe clan. But they belonged to the elders of the attached family, who enjoyed the treatment of a daimyo and was able to participate in the government of the shogunate, but in fact they were the family elders of the Kishu clan. At the end of the shogunate, because there are not too many talents, it has been lost to everyone.

  The younger brother Shigenobu Ando, ​​it was better to be mixed, and he was sealed all the way to the 56 thousand stones of Mutsu Iwajo Heihan. In the end, because of the high number of stones, it was once mistaken for the clan of the Mikawa Ando clan. This is how it was written in the "Sequel to the Genealogy of Fan Han".

   People still want to mix well. If they don't mix well, the genealogy can be changed by others. You may not even know it yourself, and think it's right.

   The new old Nakanobu Ando was born in the Heianto family of Iwaki City, and enjoyed considerable appeal among the Tokugawa clan's princes and the princes of Qimoto. And Shigenobu Ando served as the old middle school in the period of Tokugawa Hidetada, participated in the Osaka formation, desperately repelled the Assault of Ono Jifang, and made great achievements.

   Afterwards, he personally participated in the handling of the five million and six thousand Shi Daimyo of Hiroshima and Fukushima Masanori in the two countries. The 16,000 vassals of the Fukushima clan who were retired to the ronin were suppressed by bringing troops to suppress them. In the end, there was nothing wrong with them, and they were greatly praised.

  Because they were three generations of generals of the shogunate, they ran back and forth after riding their horses in front of them, and their family got 56,000 shi. The four generations served as the veteran of the shogunate, and even if the other few did not serve as the veteran, they were all high-ranking positions such as Osaka Castle, Fan, and Ruonianji.

   When it comes to the appeal of the conservative forces in the shogunate, Nobuyoshi Ando is just as accurate as Naobi Ii. Now he has the simplicity of the Tokugawa family's decision, and he is taking office on a temporary occasion, and he is quite worried about the king.

   So the fight for power is inevitable!

  Ii Naobi's idea is to allow foreign countries to start a country and accumulate strength; to control internally and suppress dissidents. He hoped that under his own governance, the shogunate could develop at a relatively fast speed, and then achieve the ultimate goal of Samurai.

   What Ando Nobumasa holds is to control externally, practice courage, and calm and seek common ground internally, conservative and progressive. It is hoped that through the shogunate's abandonment of some arbitrary political power, the princes in the country can be win over, so that the princes can unite under the shogunate, and finally unanimously externally, to achieve the ultimate goal of destroying barbarians.

   The end point is the same, but the choice of road is very different!

   In history, Nobuhiro Ando did not hesitate to spend the shogunate’s inadequate financial resources to win over and bribe the palace and government of Kyoto, and then strongly promoted marriage with Miyoshita, in order to achieve the integration of the public and the military and the peace in the country. He even agreed to the request of Emperor Xiao Ming to fight the barbarian, and clearly issued the order to fight the barbarian.

   only humiliated for about ten hours, and after the imperial decree of Marrying Miyoshita was promulgated, it was announced to be cancelled...

   Tokugawa Ieshige Dowagu’s wedding directly led to the large-scale bankruptcy of the people who originally supported the rule of the shogun because of the devastating conscription in the year of disaster, and thus completely abandon the shogunate and expect the shogunate’s subjugation.

   There is a certain description in the big river drama "Shi Chong Qing Tian", the male protagonist Seuzawa Rong's family was exhausted and almost bankrupt because of receiving the married team, which is the portrayal of the people in countless days.

   It is said that just the process of marriage, the cost from Kyoto to Edo is as high as 700,000 taels of gold, and the price exceeds the cost of eight thousand-ton steam battleships. Since then, the shogunate’s finances have completely collapsed, and they can no longer be saved. They can only rely on the surrounding areas of Edo to collect various taxes, apportionments, and fines on a large scale to maintain a lingering rule.

   From the eyes of futurecomers, Nobubu Ando is rushing to **** for the shogunate's broken car. It is a genuine person who stepped on the accelerator dozens of feet. However, from the current perspective, Nobumasa Ando is a "famous person" who takes care of the overall situation and is highly praised and welcomed by the princes.

   With the support of Nobumasa Ando in the shogunate, many vassals began to exert influence in the shogunate. The princes relied on him to participate in politics, and he used the general power of the princes to suppress Inobi.

   Although the contradiction between the two sides has not completely erupted in front of the stage, it is not much different. The princes, who knew a lot about foreign countries, finally publicly proposed to Ando Shinmasa a proposal on constitutional monarchy and government reform.

   The general 様 is still the general 様. It is not a big deal that your majesty a foreign king wears a Japanese skin. There are hundreds of titles of monarchs all over the world, and there is no saying that they must be called kings and emperors. Calling a general in Japan is over. Anyway, you are the prince and we are the ministers.

   I hope that the shogunate will convene the assembly of the princes every year, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com will decide national affairs. At the same time, the prince who received the most votes in the princes' general assembly was appointed as the shogunate elder, breaking the convention that only Ii, Doi, Sakai, and Horita could serve as elders.

  The position of the old middle school is also dedicated to various duties, and the current temporary appointments of the old middle school officials have gradually become the norm. In the future, as long as the princes who served as the central officials of the shogunate, they will be given the old Zhongge. Similarly, Laozhong is no longer the exclusive domain of the princes of the generations and the relatives of the Songhei clan, and the foreign names can also serve normally.

  The members of the Mugaku Tower shall be appointed jointly by the elder and the general, or elected by the elder, and then report to the military for comment. It's basically similar to the formation of a cabinet by the British prime minister. Let's explore it for the time being.

   By the time Tadaoemon learned the news, Kekin Maori, Keunaga Matsudaira, and San Contentdo had already handed in this letter to the Muko. Ii Naomi sneered at this, dismissing it at all. Immediately speaking, these **** things are absolutely impossible to be sent to Tokugawa's family in his tenure.

   There is no way to get the Tokugawa family to agree. If you have the skills, step over in front of me, go to Zhongao and hand over the letter to Tokugawa's family. I can let you walk through, but I am not called Naobi Ii.

   Matsudaira Qixuan and Mizuno Tadasei also made it clear that they disagreed with this case. Kuse Hiroshi, Matsudaira Masumi, and Wakisaka Yasaka did not make a clear statement. They just stood up to hold the two sides, and you should stop fighting.

   The vigorous Ando Nobumasa spoke directly. He will definitely give the letter to the Tokugawa family. Ii Naobi wants to dominate the shogunate power, but Nobumasa Ando will never agree!
