v11 Chapter 112: Ii cabinet shakes

At the same time, Ii Naobi is also facing a fierce political shock. At that time, the Tokugawa family decided to recruit the common people to join the army, but the general Shi Shengming was not at fault, and the only fault was the then chief Ii Naobi.

When the recruiting order was issued, it happened to be the period for the Yu family's examination. At that time, most people's attention was focused on the examination of the royal family, so there was no huge public reaction to the recruitment of farmers and townspeople as soldiers. When the dust of the Yu family's examination was settled, the more than 6,000 peasants recruited were already in place, and the training started without a trace.

Edo is the center of the country. There are countless big and small events that happen every day. If there is no follow-up to the recruitment order, it will naturally be forgotten by many people and covered up by other hot spots of public opinion.

As a result, on February 26, this matter was brought to the forefront again. The biggest event of the shogunate at the moment is to deal with the rebellion of the Indian army of the training team. Naturally, Edo's attention also fell on this matter.

It was you, Naobi Ii, who ordered the recruitment of people as soldiers!

A cauldron hit Naobi Ii's head, and Naobi Ii could only carry it on his back. It was impossible for him to leave the pot to the Tokugawa family.

How to do? Naobi Ii needs to show an attitude. Therefore, it is also meant to be seen by public opinion to severely deal with the disorderly soldiers of the Indian Army and their families.

Everyone knows that the so-called public opinion does not represent the existence of everyone. He only represents the thoughts of those who can express their opinions in public. And even the opinions that can be expressed in public are often castrated. This is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad.

The same is true of public opinion in Edo, and there may be people who can express their opinions and support the recruitment of civilians as soldiers. But their opinions are either drowned in the larger public opinion, or they are attacked and unable to speak.

The rest of the public opinion is the fierce opposition of the entire warrior class and the Miao character saber class!

The reason is very simple. In the past, the training team recruited soldiers from the Miao sword saber warriors. In fact, the second and third children of the samurai family who did not inherit the family business, as well as the sons of Hao Nong and Hao Shang who obtained the Miao sword saber rights, can all be recruited to join the army. In the end, he struggled to become the shogunate's shogunate family.

This is a newly created ascending channel!

And it is limited to the ascending channel of the warrior class and the Miao character saber class. For such a channel, people of the two classes generally support it at least on the surface. At most, in the selection of non-commissioned officers, the old flag samurai can have a little relationship and gain a little advantage.

The other royal family examinations are also almost the patent of the samurai class and the Miao character saber class. The easiest way is to buy all kinds of history books and learn Chinese language education, which are only affordable for the rich or those with status.

To put it more directly, it is the second and third child of the samurai family who can go to the free school, and the son of the Haonong Hao merchant who can afford the tuition fee of the private school.

Therefore, the samurai class and the Miao character saber class are very welcome to the imperial family examination system. Even if you don't have a strong physique, you can get a birth through a smart head, reading and studying.

Even if there is no way to become a hereditary royal family in the end, at least one of the Edo University graduates, and then earn an iron rice bowl. It is also very stable to have double pay in the three major clubs.

Most parents just want a child to be stable!

A person's head is determined by his butt. The systems that are beneficial to the samurai class and the Miao character saber class can be implemented quickly, and relatively good results have been obtained.

Like the 1st Edo Division, those soldiers who had already acquired the status of the Hatakemoto royal family, inspired the later generations to serve the shogun wholeheartedly. I carry guns for you to fight, armed to defend the shogunate. You give me a hereditary replacement, and the family is proud. The two became two sides of this Tokugawa shogunate and helped each other.

Yataro Iwasaki, who was admitted to the royal family back then, had studied at Edo University and was originally going to be sent by the government to study at Oxford University. However, Chuemon relied heavily on him, and was reluctant to let him go, so he was directly sent to the Societe Generale to make an account. After leaving the school, he began to participate in the management and operation of the company.

Now he has become the representative of Tokugawa Yusen Communications Co., Ltd., and jointly manages the largest modernized shipping company in Japan with Shigeru Nara.

Countless vivid examples show that the old ruling machine of the shogunate is attracting fresh blood from the middle and lower samurai and the Miao character saber class represented by Haonong and Hao Shang. And then get the support of these people who could not participate in the power sharing, and maintain the rule of the shogunate.

What does it mean to recruit people as soldiers?

If you want to stabilize the world and win over the tycoons and merchants who are actually deeply tied to the samurai class, then no one is gossiping. The samurai needed luxury merchants to provide them with handmade products and services, their financial lending services, and their cooperation and dedication in tax collection.

There is also a need for the landlords of the Hao farmhouses to exploit the peasants locally and pay taxes. It saves political investment at the local grassroots level and maintains a certain amount of fiscal and taxation sources.

Although there are differences in status between the two, the facts have been fused together and cannot be separated. Sharing the Ascension Path with these people, the warrior class will be slightly dissatisfied, but not completely opposed.

Only opening the ascending channel to civilians will attract opposition from all of them!

Not only the shogunate's lineage retainers, but even those hawker farmers and merchants who served the shogunate, also expressed their extreme dissatisfaction with the shogunate's policy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Why is Mud Legs qualified to get the ascending channel with us?

Naobi Ii, who had just been hit by the mutiny and whose prestige had dropped significantly, was devastated by the surging undercurrent of the samurai class who wanted him to be in charge.

One thing to say, the objection of the samurai class to Naobi Ii was not just a matter of recruiting people to serve as soldiers. This is just the reason why everyone is attacking him. The main reason is that Naobi Ii himself treated the old group of ministers extremely harshly, and strengthened the supervision and restraint of them.

This made Hamoto's family members quite resistant to him.

In the past, Jingyi Zhibi was in power because of military training, and was in charge of foreign debts. No matter how much dissatisfaction there is, he can just wait and see. After all, the only thing that can be used to choke him is military power and financial power.

No one can intervene in military power, and the Tokugawa father and son are watching closely. Financial power is simpler, Jingyi Naobi is shameless anyway, and dares to borrow foreign debts. If you don't give him money, he will borrow it, and he is not afraid of you at all.

It was because of a mutiny that the ruling foundation of Naobi Ii's cabinet was shaken.
