Edo Traveler

v12 Chapter 54: Home is set until the hair is lost

The benefits of Sano Changmin are obvious, he is a junior samurai promoted by the shogunate. As the fifth male of the samurai family, it was basically impossible to inherit the family business in this life. If there is no way to pass on to someone else's family, then if you become a farmer, you may still be able to eat a bowl of rice. It is pitiful to become a loner, and finally to be a respectable member.

Now the shogunate has chosen him, the former general Tokugawa Iadada, and the current eldest elder, Matsudaira Qixuan. This loyalty alone is quite acceptable. Coupled with his hard work and serious study, he was still given to naval engineering experts in history.

He was able to design and improve the steam tank by himself, and finally even founded the Japanese Red Cross Society. He has done a lot of things and is a very talented person.

Nagasaki is far to the southwest, close to the Saga Domain, or in other words, it is surrounded by the Saga Domain. A shogun who was born in the Saga domain is obviously more convenient to obtain the support and recognition of the Saga domain. It is also convenient for the shogunate and the Saga clan to send troops together if something happens in the future.

By the way, the soldiers of the Saga Domain are also strong soldiers!

As a fully independent manufacturer of marine steam engines, there is a complete production line for Minet rifles, large-caliber artillery, and even a powerful fiefdom that successfully imitates Armstrong cannons. The strength of the troops of the Saga Domain was actually not inferior to that of the Satsuma Domain or the Hagi Domain. Even the cannons that attacked Aizu Castle in history were made by the Saga Domain.

Once something happens in the southwest, call on the shogunate monarchs, ministers, and justice, as long as there is no downturn in the shogunate. Both the Satsuma domain and the Saga domain would stand on this side of the shogunate, and within a few moments, an army of 20,000 to 30,000 would be able to gather, whoever would fight.

"Then Nagasaki has to choose a good person." After the words were finished, Matsudaira Qixuan continued.

"Simply set up a guard house." Zu Liu thought about it next to him, and then continued.

"This is not in a hurry." If the Guard House is set up alone, the power will be slightly greater, and Chuemon feels that it is not yet time.

It is enough to choose a Nagasaki who has the courage to serve. Anyway, it is not necessary to station tens of thousands of troops in Nagasaki, with 1,000 troops on land and sea. This is not enough for even a regiment. The government general is going to guard.

"It's better to use Kimura Hyogo." Matsudaira Qixuan continued to recommend one person.

"It's him..." Chuyouemon heard Matsudaira Qi Xuanyi say, and remembered this person.

This old man is thirty years old this year, and his name is Kimura Kiyi. Although he is not too old, he has a very long experience as an official, and it has been as many as seventeen years. At the age of thirteen, he was employed by Mizuno Chubong, who went to look after the hunting grounds for the shogun's family, and served as a trainee for the Hama Royal Palace.

It's just that he was an official in his early years. Because of the shock of the upper class, everyone understands that it has ups and downs. Even Chuemon, who had a relationship with Mizuno Tadabang, had three ups and downs. He was a small apprentice, and he was not a subordinate, and he could never succeed.

Later, Matsudaira Qi Xuan took office and was ordered to go to Kyoto to perform the performance on his behalf. As a result, he was half killed by a bomb by the Zunzun, and he recuperated in Osaka and Akashi for more than a year. It happened that Nagai Naozhi, who was in charge of the shogunate Jinzo at that time, was also in Kyoto. When chatting with Matsudaira Qixuan, he talked about Kimura Yoshitake.

At that time, Kimura Yoshiyoshi was still serving as the Osaka Castle in Osaka, so he was summoned by Matsudaira Qixuan by relying on Nagai Shangzhi's words. At first sight, Songping Qixuan felt that this person was quite talented, but no one had been promoted. At this time, Matsudaira Qixuan has been transferred back to Edo to serve as Nishimaru.

Chuemon seemed to have seen this person in Nishimaru before, and he was impressed, but not very impressed. But after all, he knew such a number one person. Since Matsudaira Qixuan said that he was good, Zhongyouemon would not brush him off.

To put it bluntly, Kimura Hiroyoshi's son, Kimura Hiroyoshi, served as the captain of Nikko Maru during the Russo-Japanese War. Later, he accumulated meritorious service to the Rear Admiral. Anyway, he did well in the new government.

The candidates for Nagasaki Toshiyuki and the naval squadron commander have been decided, and the rest is a series of operations with the Hagi Domain.

The Hagi Domain had to be made to feel that the Shogunate was more pros than cons for them, and they had to obediently bite the bait. Specifically how to do it, the three of them are going to discuss another round later, and they are not in a hurry to make a decision today.

After dinner, the three of them left the temple again and went to worship the shrine set by the Tokugawa family. The refurbishment of the Tibetan house on the other side of the temple is completed, and almost the Tokugawa family can be buried. When his funeral is over, Chungemon can be fully in power. There is no way to do too many things now, and the main staff of the shogunate are all doing funerals.

There is one more thing that can be changed. The income from infantry drills was officially renamed the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and the Navy Training Institute was renamed the Naval Non-commissioned Officer School. At the same time, affiliated primary schools were established to formally train qualified middle and lower-level officers for the shogunate.

There will be no objection to changing the name, and there is no need for too many formalities, or setbacks. An imperial order will be sent to the school, and a new brand will do.

There is no problem with this old machine of the shogunate, and there is no problem with it. Chuemon can use it according to his own preferences. As a general, if you are interested in this, it is not difficult.

Edo in August is still very hot as usual. After discussions at the Imperial Council and consultation with Mrs. Atsushi, the Tokugawa family finally set a date for the mourning.

In fact, it shouldn't be said, the weather is so hot, Chuemon is really afraid that the Tokugawa family lying in the coffin will be out of shape. It's good to give him a coffin that is full of containment, but after all, there is only that layer. Unlike the next door, the inner coffin and the outer coffin, and there are several layers. There is no special anti-corrosion method at the moment, I am really afraid that if it is delayed any longer, it seems that something happens to the thin coffin. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

It’s better to go to the ground early for safety. After notifying the main temples in various parts of the country, they ordered all of them to send people to Edo to participate in the funeral ceremony. The foreign envoys in Yokohama were also notified and invited to attend the entire sending ceremony.

The road from Edo Castle to Ueno Kanei-ji Temple was renovated, and all the unsightly things along the way were removed. In order to prevent someone from attacking the funeral procession at Tokugawa's house, residents on both sides of the street were cleared out.

No matter if you are relying on relatives or friends, or living on the streets, there is nothing you can do for the past two days. What if there was a stunner on the roof of the street, throwing a bomb on the coffin of the Tokugawa house? It's easiest to avoid people near the road at the root, just in case.

I can't solve problems, I can solve people!

Just this thing, no one seems to know it, it is very easy, and it is familiar.
