Edo Traveler

v12 Chapter 133: In the name of autumn hunting and majest

The documents of the Hagi Domain requesting the relocation of the Domain Office were quickly sent to Edo, through the young master Mouri Motoku, who stayed in Edo as a hostage, to the elder Matsudaira Qixuan of the Ichibashi Residence.

One stone creates a thousand waves!

Everyone knows that Zhou Fangguo and Nagato Kingdom, where Hagi Domain is located, are leaning on Tsushima Island. And Hagi Castle, the feudal hall of the Hagi Domain, is also a town by the sea. The battle against Tsushima that happened not long ago must have made Hagi Domain tremble with fear.

When Songping Qi Xuan saw the application, he was naturally displeased, but he was also an old bureaucrat for many years, and it was impossible for him to get angry in the face of Maori Yuande. It is only said that the matter is of great importance, and it must be handed over to the imperial meeting and reported to the general. Maori Yuande also knew that this was a major event and could not be done overnight, so he retired without mentioning it.

As soon as the person left, Matsudaira Qi Xuan cursed in his heart, and then walked to the public hall of Zhongyouemon. The matter is a major event, and it is impossible for him to stay in the middle, so he still has to report it.

"That's what allowed him!"

Unexpectedly, after seeing Hagi Domain's application documents, Chuueemon did not hesitate, and without even thinking for a moment, agreed directly.

"I have the advantage of the navy, how can I allow him to move the feudal hall?" Matsudaira Qixuan originally thought that Zhongyouemon would definitely not agree, but he did not expect that Zhongyouemon agreed so quickly.

"I don't know what's your consideration?" Tadashi Mizuno, who was beside him, took the application documents of the Maori family and read it at a glance.

To help Liu Liu sit there quietly, with the eyes watching the nose, the nose watching the mouth, and the mouth watching the mind. Others don't know, but Suke six knows very well that Chuemon has a plan in Hagi Domain, but this matter is a secret matter, and it is not known whether it can be done. It is not good to shake things that are not sure.

"Where is the Marquis of Tsushan and the Marquis of Kagoshima?" Chuemon didn't answer, but looked at Matsudaira Qimin and Shimadzu's definition.

After all, this is a royal meeting, everyone can speak freely. Although Chuemon is a general, he can decide with one word, but there is no harm in listening to the opinions of his ministers.

"Actually, it's okay, moving to a new city will cost hundreds of thousands." Shimadzu's definition is that he is in charge of money now, and he is more sensitive to money.

His reasons, everyone heard, is indeed true. Even if the Hagi Domain saves up and down, they won't build any new towers in the Yamaguchi Pavilion, but a minimal imperial pavilion will always be needed. There are also a large number of samurai's homes, offices, warehouses, and martial arts fields.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to allow the Maori family to spend hundreds of thousands of taels extra?

It is quite difficult to find an opportunity to bleed the finances of the Maori family.

"If you think about it this way, it's really good..." Matsudaira Qimin didn't have much assertiveness, and after hearing Shimadzu's definition made sense, he agreed.

"It's nothing more than the fact that the feudal hall was moved to the mountain pass, which is located inland. However, the railway is convenient and there is something to be done. It is also a good thing that the soldiers will arrive in two or three days."

It's just that I can't shoot Hagi Castle, that's a small problem.

"There is one more thing, the princes moved to the vassal hall without incident, but the shogunate did not prohibit it. Is it hindering the prestige of the shogunate?"

But as the head of the shogunate, he has more places to consider. If there is a major earthquake in the Hagi Domain and the Hagi Castle is destroyed, then it is understandable to move the Domain Office, and the Shogunate should allow it. After all, if the mountains are collapsed, you still have to force the city on it, that's just a joke.

But the Hagi domain was calm, and suddenly proposed to relocate the domain hall, which was actually a kind of disobedience to the shogunate who entrusted him to go to Hagi Castle!

Whether the shogunate is strong or not, this is a test of the lords to the shogunate. Test whether the shogunate still has the kind of tyranny that is unequivocal.

The world of the shogunate was shot down with swords and spears, not by any marriage or conspiracy to usurp it. Therefore, the shogunate should be arrogant by nature, and it should be domineering. I beat to death all those who disapproved of me, and the rest were all submissive, that's how powerful it is.

Whether you are convinced or oral, at least you are now, bow your head to me, call me king, and serve me and my descendants from generation to generation.

"Um..." This thing...

If Matsudaira Qixuan thinks like this, it's actually not bad. As a general, Chuemon had to consider the face and prestige of the entire shogunate. After all, as a relatively loose feudal regime, the real power of the princes in the territory is too great. In theory, it is possible to challenge the shogunate by supporting troops and building cities.

"It's easy to talk about this." Zu Liu suddenly spoke up.

"how?"

"In the name of Great Victory, a military parade is held in Bandung for autumn hunting, and the princes are called together to exercise together." Zu Liu said that was an old way.

Don't say that this method is not good. Thousands of troops, just a single mobilization, will test the organizational ability of a regime. That is to say, the shogunate has sufficient manpower and a large number of grass-roots officers to deploy, so that it is possible to complete the mobilization of the army in the blink of an eye.

The former general, Tokugawa, was frail and did not hold an autumn hunt for two years. After Chuemon came to power, the internal and external affairs were complicated, the Edo Castle was burned down, and there was no time to hold the autumn hunting.

Also, an autumn hunt would cost no less than 100,000 taels.

One hundred thousand taels, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is a lot of money, and Zhongyouemon himself is not very willing. So this has led to the fact that the autumn hunting has not been restarted, and it has been delayed until this year.

Now that the shogunate's finances are getting wider, and it is just time to spare, it is entirely possible to hold an autumn hunt. Hunting deer and wild boars is a trivial matter, and I don't care at all. The important thing is to show the lords of the world how powerful the army of the new army of the shogunate is. I know that the shogunate is still the regime that was shot out of the barrel of a gun and a knife, not a naive and cute little white rabbit.

"Yes!" Chuemon immediately agreed.

It is not impossible to spend 100,000 taels to accompany our little brother Songyin in a play. Chuemon's money is still willing to spend, sprinkle water.

One thing happened, and the important ministers left the hall one after another. Chungemon turned around and prepared to pack up and go home after get off work. The Imperial Council also discusses a major national event, and the remaining details, Chuemon is very relieved to hand over to the following ministers, and there is no doubt about the employment.

After everyone got up and left, Matsudaira Qi Xuan did not leave directly, but stopped for a while and waited for Chungemon at the door. Seeing him staying behind, Chuemon knew that he must have something to say.

"Is there any arrangement in the Hagi Domain? Do you want to do something big?"
